But with the help of the kids we did what had to be done,” says Aniket. When Aniket met Ayan, he had covered two remote little hamlets near Kasol. “Ayan and I travel together a lot. It worked, so that was the model we used for the rest of the villages,” he recalls. So, instead, I went to the village school and taught the kids how to make the lamps.The next step for Aniket and his fellow travellers, two of whom, Dipanjan Chakraborty and Sudipto Pati, were going to be joining them from Bangalore and Kolkata, was to collect art supplies. Somehow, we managed to make it to a nearby village called Losar, which is roughly 50 km from Kaza — the capital of Spiti, which was our next destination,” Aniket reminisces.
The 29-year old had spent a year tinkering with bottle art and then a month experimenting with solar cells to create a cheap but functioning version of a solar lamp with art on plastic and glass bottles, using Fevicol and plaster of Paris instead of primer to cut down on the غير مجاز مي باشدt. I plan to do the same thing in Assam. “I tried going door-to-door at the first village, Mateura, but soon realised that it wouldn’t work since people go off to work every day. Once in Kaza, it was smooth sailing. Here, a few well-placed posts on social media and on Ayan’s website got desirable results, and with a bagful of donated craft material, Aniket set off for Delhi. We’ve been to Rann of Kutch and Pondicherry together and were supposed to go to the hills last year. “Initially, I had wanted to see what those picturesque villages on the hills would look like with a light at every doorstep. It was on a muggy July day that Aniket Mitra got a phone call that would take his life on a pleasant detour from his nine to five job as a consultant at Deloitte, Mumbai. But when I started working with them, I realised that I wanted to help them find a way of making a living from converting scrap to works of art..The idea was to teach them to create bottle art so that they can sell it at the local markets, says Ayan Biswas.
However, a few twists and turns were awaiting them.The team already had a working model in place. The rest of the group picked up on how to make bottle art and taught the local school kids as well. Then this year he called up and asked if I want to come along with him on a project he was doing in some villages in the Himachal. It seemed like a great plan, so I agreed to go,” recalls Aniket. We set up a light at the gate of the school and taught the 15 or 20 odd kids how to make the lamps. Here, he was going to teach people how to make arty solar-powered lamps from recyclable material. “I met a friend from Jawaharlal Nehru University, who also had a bunch of material that she had gathered from people she knew in Delhi,” he explains. The 29-year old had spent a year tinkering with bottle art and then a month experimenting with solar cells to create a cheap but functioning version of a solar lamp with art on plastic and glass bottles, using Fevicol and plaster of Paris instead of primer China Mercedes-Benz ML-350 Grille Factory to cut down on the غير مجاز مي باشدt.
It was his friend Ayan Biswas, maverick, art-lover and fellow traveller, from Bangalore who was calling to ask Aniket to go along with him on one of his adventures. As such, it should have been smooth sailing. The next stop was Lanza, where we all had some breathing trouble seeing as it’s at a very high altitude. “When I say school, I don’t mean the kinds of strong, erect buildings that we see in the metros. We were stranded there in the cold for five hours. It was more of an after-school education centre run by a New Zealand-based woman named Joe Smith. “The idea was to teach them to create bottle art so that they can sell it at the local markets, and also help light up the more remote villages, where electricity is limited in supply,” says Ayan. “We were travelling through Kunzum Pass, when the bus broke down.What had started as a romantic dream to see the hills lit up turned into an exhaustive project to help a community gain an alternative livelihood. A lot of work needs to be done, but I hope I can do it sometime next year,” Ayan signs off, with an open invitation to join in
