Day 6 - 07 Oct 13 - Energy conclusion & Scripting work

Gautham had come back from Palakkad late night, in the morning we had the conclusion of Energy. He said that we meant only fossil fuel or electricity, we are considering the power of food, human or animal power. Also, he gave a different dimension about Human power - not just physical but also psychological the power of mind.

After that he showed his Bakery cum kitchen which he is making with the help of Gujarati SHG. He explained how that owen was energy efficient and the process is completely eco-friendly. He then showed us about his brick making machine, how the clay bricks are strong and energy efficient as they are shadow dried bricks.

After a good food we went to hill top to see some climatic zones visible down the valley and also to a temple used by Irula on top of the clip. It was breath taking experience at some places, nature was at its best. Ninan was unwell at this time, but he managed to come to this place, we had Good snaps, on the way a farmer who had Cow, goat, hen, dogs mixed farming. A crop which was totally new to that place, but had invested almost most of the field.

We came back had lunch the second part was Communication and development, we Gautham emphasised the importance of communication to bring about developmental changes.

He compared the ads given by GOvt agencies and the those attractive ads given by the private Companies. He says Good things need good voice, and if creative minds join together we can bring abut the good change. He convinced the team, then we as a team divided ourselves into two teams to come up with ideas to make a 1 audio and 1 video clips.

I am happy from inside since the ideas put forth by me and team was taken we started the work of making short about Farmer suicide inked to mulching. That evening many of us were tired and did not got to take bath to river for whcih we have to climb down and up the mountain. Instead I used my time to work on travel related report. Discussion was very fantastic, this is what I call brain storming, Gautham and Anu did a good job of being moderators trying to include whatever good ideas that came from us, more than that,we had roles defined.
