What was done with those inputs, step by step.

Thudippu invited me to conduct a Chavittunadakam workshop on the 26th. It felt special to me.

The workshop brought together children, adults, women of different age groups, and many people who are actively involved in the arts. Everyone participated so wholeheartedly — listening, asking questions, engaging, and learning together. I truly hope that each person who was there took away something special from the experience.

For me, this was one of those days that will remain special in my life. The love, encouragement, and kind words I received from everyone meant so much to me.

If anyone comes forward in future, I would be more than happy to work with them and be part of it. They may want to learn more about Chavittunadakam, talk about it, or organise something connected to the art form.
