The Bharadwaj Shine: September 2012
http://thebharadwajshine.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Being with my family in New Jersey, USA. Sunday, September 16, 2012. My friend Dola did a blog-post. About the questions her children ask. Its ditto at our place, just different topics. So the kids were lying in bed and laughing at some character's antics on youtube on the IPad. We started talking about music and the next hour was a mix of all the following:. Music i heard as a kid. Bangles and their hit song Manic Monday. Nazia Hassan and her brother. Boom Boom, another Nazia hit. Black and while videos.

The Bharadwaj Shine: On Capone, Elvis and Learning
http://thebharadwajshine.blogspot.com/2012/10/on-capone-elvis-and-learning.html
Being with my family in New Jersey, USA. Friday, October 19, 2012. On Capone, Elvis and Learning. A few minutes ago Raghu was watching a video with me online, where we saw images of the soup lines during the Great Depression. He immediately connected it to what he read about Al Capone in the Horrible Histories Book. I learnt from him that during the Great Depression Al Capone tried to buy his way into the heart of the public, during his court trial, by setting up Soup Lines for the unemployed.

The Bharadwaj Shine: Mole (pronounced Mo-ley) and death
http://thebharadwajshine.blogspot.com/2012/10/moles-pronounced-mo-ley-and-death.html
Being with my family in New Jersey, USA. Sunday, October 7, 2012. Mole (pronounced Mo-ley) and death. Raghu was looking miserable. I suggested we move some rocks around inside the aquarium and make him comfortable. Raghu started to cry. I was focusing completely on Raghu now. How could i help him? Then I asked Raghu if he knew why he was crying. was it because he, Raghu, would miss the fish? Was it because he felt that the fish did not want to die? Then Raghu and I saw the irony. we celebrate births ...

The Bharadwaj Shine: Doing Nothing Days
http://thebharadwajshine.blogspot.com/2014/02/doing-nothing-days.html
Being with my family in New Jersey, USA. Friday, February 28, 2014. Doing nothing is not always easy. It has to be created, these spaces for doing nothing. As you can see, a day of doing nothing is never really nothing. Its just a pressure free, open ended, generally home bound space created lovingly, to let us all rest into our natural interests and rhythms. I resist thinking about the growing grocery list. I resist everything but the unfolding of the day. Posted by Hema Bharadwaj. My ART and WRITING.

The Bharadwaj Shine: August 2012
http://thebharadwajshine.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Being with my family in New Jersey, USA. Thursday, August 16, 2012. An article on Videogame Shine. This was the script from a Webinar i participated in, recently, here in India. I use the term "Whole Being Learning" for the first time in this write-up. Our life seems to be better described by that label. 'Unschooling' also applies to us and is what i would say to most as its widely known as a label. but some how 'Whole Being Learning' describes what we do much better in my mind. Shining with Video Games.

The Bharadwaj Shine: A Jatra
http://thebharadwajshine.blogspot.com/2013/06/a-jatra.html
Being with my family in New Jersey, USA. Wednesday, June 26, 2013. Sometimes i wonder if we would thrive in a small town in India. I love small towns in India. The big urban regions make me feel quite out of sorts. The cement, the lack of gardens and trees and lack of quiet. I can go on. So i shan't. Suffice to say small town India is beautiful and easy on the eyes. I love the ambling buffalo and sleepy quiet. Posted by Hema Bharadwaj. November 30, 2016 at 11:55 PM.

http://thebharadwajshine.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Being with my family in New Jersey, USA. Sunday, July 1, 2012. Climbing Shine for me. Posted this on FB and realised i'd done a near blog post. so here goes:. At climbing class Raghu, grinning broadly, told me what he told his friend (12 year old, intuitive, brilliant climber): "Tu Bandar Ka Sikandar Hai.". For those needing translation and background :. You are king of the monkeys". And then to see him be joyful about anothers joy, to simply climb and not care about how much better he is than another (u...

The Bharadwaj Shine: The way it goes
http://thebharadwajshine.blogspot.com/2013/02/the-way-it-goes.html
Being with my family in New Jersey, USA. Monday, February 18, 2013. The way it goes. I would like to share this random day with my readers:. Ravi got some toast ready for breakfast. I got Zoya's milk ready. She had woken up talking about a playdate. I went upstairs to hang clothes to dry. My helper was sweeping the floors and helping with the dishes. We had not swept the floors for a day and they were filthy already. Zoya is walking around with her doll, humming a song, carrying a laundry basket and crea...
