Cover Feature and Interviews by Anupama Krishnakumar
[box]On this memorable occasion of our first anniversary, we are proud to present to you four creative visionaries – people who have, just like us, embarked on a journey to use their creative passion and their resultant ventures to bring joys to the lives of others and, in the process, have sought to derive the blissful pleasure that creativity and creation can bring to one’s own self. They are our celebrities of the month.[/box]Isn’t it such a wonderful feeling to be able to create something? Ask anyone who creates a product out of their passion and they will tell you what joy it is. The delight we have felt every time that we have put out an issue of Spark is precious. When people come back to tell us that a certain article or a piece of art or a photograph made their day, it has, time and again, brought a smile on our lips.
If something that one created can warm someone’s heart, light up a smile, bring a tear, lighten a burden, and ultimately can make someone feel one with the creator at some point, then the fruits of creativity are reaped and the job of a creation is done.
On this memorable occasion of our first anniversary, we are proud to present to you four such creative visionaries – people who have, just like us, embarked on a journey to use their creative passion and their resultant ventures to bring joys to the lives of others and, in the process, have sought to derive the blissful pleasure that creativity and creation can bring to one’s own self. They are our celebrities of the month.
We are delighted to feature Agam, a Bangalore-based music band that creates some wonderful music that is a mix of Carnatic music and classical rock. We are also pleased to present MoodSwings Jewelry, an initiative by Benaazir Muhammdunni, who designs jewelry that celebrates the real spirit of women. The third in our list is Bhojan, a food catering service run by Swetha Parthasarathy and Tarandeep Narula in the U.S. Finally, we have great pleasure in featuring ‘Version One Dot Oh’, a Bangalore-based theatre group that started off as an initiative to pursue a passion for theatre and has been around for eight years now.
At the end of it all, we realized the many things in common that all these people share including the passion for what they do, the way they have strived to balance their jobs and their ventures and the enthusiasm with which they look forward to the future. And the greatest and most wonderful revelation of this exercise is of course, we realized how much we, the Sparklers, have in common with each of them.
Spark wishes each of these initiatives and the people behind them the very best in their journeys forward. Catch the features and interviews with the help of the links below.
