Art is the only escape that provides human beings with a sense of serenity. We, as human beings, will always find peace in certain arts, and sometimes we try to finesse them. Similarly, sketching is a form of art that can surely provide someone with some sort of tranquillity.

Students like Vinay try their best to find themselves in the form of art. Vinay, like any other student, found cartoons interesting and developed his intellect for the art form. He became more obsessed with cartoons and sketches when he was in seventh grade. By 12th grade, he found more confidence in sketching and gave it a shot.

While being in the bachelor’s, the student found more comfort in sketching within the group. However, he only sketched those figures that were well-known.

Thus, when Vinay went to attend classes for his B.Ed, his artwork slowly got famous. His artwork was thriving, and people were seeking his art. Nonetheless, the artist found people who were willing to be drawn by him.

Later, many people approached Vinay for sketches, which helped him practice his techniques in sketching.

However, you will only find finesse when you learn more and more about your forte. Thus, Vinay tried to explore the sketching community. He found many YouTube channels which provided knowledge and sharpened his skills for sketching.

Likewise, with constant training and practice, Vinay understood some of the basic and important elements of sketching, which help an artist grow into a stronger version of themselves. He practises more and tries to give more attention to his skills.

As of now, it is his hobby which he wants to pursue…you never know if this passion becomes a profession, he adds.

Nobel Peace Laureate Kailash Satyarthi launches nationwide campaign for “Child Marriage Free India”

Around 20 million people participated in the launch of the campaign from across the country and pledged to end child marriage.

Government agencies including Railway Protection Force (RPF), Women and child development department of 14 states, state child protection authorities, state legal services authorities, anganwadis and district administration of several state governments joined in support of the nationwide campaign.

Census 2011 reported over 12 million child marriages in the country, the study by National Family Health Survey (NFHS V) also corroborates Census 2011 report. Out of 12 million child marriages, 5.2 million were girls. According to NFHS V, 23.3% of women between the age group of 20 to 24 are married before turning 18. These figures demonstrate the need for a nationwide campaign to uproot the social evil from the country. The campaign aims to reduce the number of child marriages by 10% from 23.3%.

Highlighting the plight of the child marriage survivors, Nobel Peace Laureate

Kailash Satyarthi said, “Child marriage is a violation of human rights and

dignity, which unfortunately still has social acceptance. This social evil propels

an unending list of crimes against children, especially against our daughters.

“A few weeks ago, I put out a call to make India child marriage free. This spark ignited the flames of 70,000 women changemakers, proof that millions of women have felt suffocated by this age old oppressive societal custom.

I support the Government of India’s proposal to increase the marriageable age of girls from 18 to 21. I call upon faith leaders to speak out and ensure that all those who perform weddings, even at the village level do not perpetuate this crime against children. I call on all the caterers, decorators, banquet hall owners, bands and others to not provide their services for these weddings and not indulge in this criminal act. For those of you who are stopping child marriage in your villages, you are not alone. I am with you. As your brother, I will protect and support you in every possible manner. I will not leave your side in this fight,” he added.

Liberian Nobel Peace Laureate Leymah Gbowee said, “Child marriage is an appalling practice that exists globally. We must put an end to this human rights violation. Our collective humanity demands this,” she added.

These dignitaries spoke about their inner spiritual journey of rising beyond the mundane affairs in their divine love cleansing the internal self. 

Imtiyaz Ali in fact started his talk with a famous couplet of Persian Sufi poet Jalaluddin Rumi: “What you seek is seeking you”, which was the tagline of Shahrukh Khan-starrer Jab Harry Met Sejal, a romantic movie written and directed by Ali.


“Cinema is one of the most important and influential art forms today which has fairly contributed to the dissemination of universal values of Sufism through mystical music”, Ali said.

Singer Mohit Chauhan who was in Ajmer known for his best work and soulful Sufi songs in Hindi films sang the famous spiritual lyrics “O Nadaan Parindey Ghar Aa Jaa” from the super-duper hit Rockstar.

The Danshtra Devi, popularly known as Dadh Devi is the eighth century temple situated at Kota.

The temple offers long ancestral ties to the erstwhile royal family of Kotah since the days of the Bundi princes from 1264, and later by the Kotah rulers. 

Dadh Devi temple was enlarged and subsequently improved upon during the reigns of Kotah rulers – Rao Jagat Singh, Rao Kishore Singh, Maharao Ram Singh, and finally Maharao Umed Singh II. The family today continues to honour these traditions.

The temple remains very popular with the people of Kota, with many people visiting the temple to offer their prayers in the auspicious time of the Navraatri. There is also a mela set up outside during the nine festive days & nights of Navraatri.

In picture are HH Maharao Ijyaraj Singh Ji (@ijyaraj ) and MK Jaidev Singh (@jaidevkotah ) at the historic eight-century temple. (credit : Instagram post of Kotah rulers)
