ARBUDANCHAL UTSAV MOUNT ABU

I reached the Hilltone conference hall in the nick of time; The Governor of Rajasthan His Eminence Mr. Sheelandra Kumar Singh, Professor Bhasker Mehta, Commissioner for Physical Disabilities, Colonel Rajesh Kaswan of the 1st Sikh Light Infantry Regiment at Mount Abu , His Highness Maharo Raguveer Singhji of Sirohi , the Heads of all major schools and prominent Abuites were present for the occasion of the promotion of the release of The book of songs (Arbudh Geet) written and composed by our very own Dr. A.K.Sharma; All Rounder and the essence of controversy, in our one horse town. The credit and arrangements for this occasion goes to the younger generation of Agarwals of the Hillock family, their efforts and spontaneous action made it possible for this prestigious and memorable get-together to produce an insight into the awareness of what is needed for the betterment of this semi- hill station of ours.
The presentation on this occasion was conducted by Dr. Sharma; his introduction short and sweet, followed by a rendition of a song from his book by the students of the blind school; whom he calls his children and to whom he has pledged his legacy.

The Governor‘s speech was also inspirational and he made it a point to thank the Merwanji family for their contributions and continuous untiring efforts toward the support of the blind school which their fore- fathers had initiated by donating one of their biggest and most prime property in Abu .
Poetry for Awareness is not about making poems like a poet, it is about using the process of making poetry to generate more self awarenesss. Our good Doctor uses his poetry to enable the person reading it to share their inner thoughts and feelings and to experience a personal transformation of well being. He’s trying to promote personal empowerment where people are actively involved and find a meaning for their actions.
The book was a huge success; the thousand copies that were printed were sold in the blink of an eye. Everyone- even students or charitable intuitions interests in buying this book for a worthy cause may contact the Blind Centre .All proceeds from the sale of these books will go to the blind centre. There will be a short delay as the second edition of the book is under print. “Actions speak louder than words”, Mr. Mukesh Modi Chairman of Mahadav bank has denoted Rs Five Lakhs to the blind school, 2.5 lakhs have been released with immediate effect for a recording studio to be set up at the Blind School Centre.
