Creative Thinking/Writing Workshop!!

Some clicks of my workshop. We had 16 children of age group - 6 to 14. It was all about creative thinking and creative writing. So much learning, knowledge-sharing and fun. Kids just loved me. Group discussions, team building creative exercises, basic skill questionnaires, and a lot more. They took my autograph as well. Journey as a writer is so much satisfying! Thank you, God.

Pictures of my workshop for 'Creative Writing'. The event was so successful. Signed few books and diaries for my workshop kids. When your sign becomes an autograph - you are on the right track.

Ershik #9 - Published my Senryu in Russian

Great Guys !!
Well, this is such a great feeling and might make my Russian readers quite happy as well. I see lot of hits from Russia on my blog in the target hits. 




WORK TRANSLATED IN RUSSIAN. For any author/writer to see his/her work being translated in a different language is like a bag of goodies. I feel the same as I see my senryu published in Russian as well in the ERSHIK #9 issue of April 2015. After Chinese now it's Russian. Thanks to the editor for appreciating my work and publishing the same. You can ead the journal at the link -



But I am putting my contribution in English and Russian for you in this post. I feel so blessed today.

wow!!

My third course in International Leadership and Organizational Behaviour from Universita Bocconi had a project assignment to be submitted which was supposed to be assessed blindly by other peers. I just got the result as you see in the images. I got full marks and wonderful feedback by my peers. This assignment was more around writing with my corporate experience of knowledge management.

Progress of Studies....

The first course examinations are over. The second course is almost about to end by 19th April, and I am working on my project for the course accomplishment. The third course just started and I have four weeks to accomplish the same. Lot of assignments and project work for the third course.

The course Global Health and Humantarian Assistance from 'University of Manchester' comes to an end today. It was a fantastic journey of learning, discussing and appearing for online examinations (quizzes, assessed discussion for grades). The last week around Syria left me touched. Thanks to all my fellow peers who liked my worked and upvoted my posts making me stand at fourth position among the huge numbers from across the globe. I am highly delighted. Grades are still being processed and will take some time but until then just sharing my happiness around forum reputation under the tab 'Top Forum Posters'.
