Never Too Late To Learn
Never
Too Late To Learn
(contributed
by my mother Mrs. Raj Kamo)
I
had been a teacher throughout my career and retired as a Principal of a
Government school. I did not get time to pursue any hobbies except some
interest in painting. I had a lot of time on hand after my retirement.
I
was in North Carolina, USA, visiting my son and his family a few years ago when
I developed a new hobby by chance. My daughter-in-law Garima had gone to attend
a conference at Washington D.C. and on her return she bought two beads and
magnet necklace strings, one for herself and one for my daughter Ranjana. This
was an amazing piece of jewellery that could be strung in any shape around the
neck or the wrist. I was so impressed by this piece of art that I wanted to
make such a string for myself.
So
next day we were off to Michael’s to buy beads, magnets and a jewellery making
kit. I now had the tools but was not very sure of their use. My daughter-in-law’s
friend Shamim happened to visit us the same day and saw me trying to design a
string on the board. She told me how she too had developed this interest and
had made hundreds of necklaces and bracelets. She taught me how to use the
tools. She brought some pearl strings for me in the evening and helped me
design and make my first three necklaces.
This
hobby was turning out to be a lot of fun. I had strung the necklaces but fixing
a clasp to them was the major trick item. Next morning Garima, Ranjana and I
drove down to a bead shop “Beadazzled” where I observed the lady while she
fixed the clasp on my necklace. It was not an easy task but I was confident
that I could do it with the same expertise as that lady’s.
I
was soon making necklaces and fixing clasps on them like an expert. It was not
long before I was making earrings too. Garima was happy that she could gift
these to her friends. I kept making necklaces and earrings and did not realize
that I had made a hundred pairs. Garima suggested I hold an exhibition at the
conference of A.G. Bell Association for the Hearing Impaired that was being
held at Ashville that year. Garima, being a board member of the A. G. Bell
Association for the Hearing Impaired, spoke to the other board members and had
permission for my exhibition. I had a sale at their conference and proudly
donated the proceeds to the Association. My work was appreciated a lot and this
motivated me to continue with my hobby.
I
have been making jewellery since then and these serve as great gifts to ladies.
Jewellery making is not only my hobby but a passion and a pastime that keeps me
engrossed and occupied during my free time.

One World
I was surfing the You Tube to hear K'Naan's "Waving Flag" song as I really like the rhythm and music of this song, it has such an Indian touch about it. I wanted to hear some more songs from him so I was browsing through and found some more songs. Then I hit upon an Ethiopian song. I was amazed to hear the song and see the dance performed on it. It was so much similar to the Bihu dance and song form of the Eastern States of India. The rhythm, the tones, the music, the notes and the dance moves were so much alike I just could not believe my eyes and ears. I wanted to check if my knowledge of Bihu is right or not so I browsed for a Bihu dance and I was absolutely right in my judgement. The two forms had so much in common it was just amazing. I said to myself yes it is One World.
