SAMBA

Vejam essa maravilha de cenário

É 'um episódio relicário

Que o artista, num sonho genial

Escolheu para este carnaval

E o asfalto como passarela

Será a tela

Do Brasil em forma de aquarela

Look at this wonderful scenario

It's a reliquary episode

That the artist, in a brilliant dream,

Chose for this carnival

And the asphalt as a catwalk

Will be the canvas

Of Brazil in the form of a watercolor

Aquarela Brasileira by Silas de Oliveira

Whenever the word happiness comes to my mind I think of samba! I grew up in Rio de Janeiro, which is a postcard city due to its natural beauty and its Carnival. When I was fifteen years old, a musician taught me to play the main beat of samba on the pandeiro, an instrument similar to the tambourine, during a moonlit party on the beach. Since then, I have not stopped playing that instrument! I left Brazil in 2015 and the feeling of homesickness increases day by day. Since I left, the need to play the pandeiro, especially Brazilian music, has grown greater and greater. Nowadays, it is easier to count the days I don't play the pandeiro. For me, playing samba is directly related to happiness. There is a famous song which says:

O samba é pai do prazer

O samba é filho da dor

Um grande poder transformador

Samba is the father of pleasure

How Does Fear Affect Our Roles as Mothers? - Neelam Shivhare explores some of the great ancient texts of India on motherhood, compares the behavior of Kaikayi and Yashoda

Neelam Shivhare explores some of the great ancient texts of India on motherhood, compares the behavior of Kaikayi and Yashoda, and realizes the importance of removing fear from our hearts in order to nurture our children.For young women like myself, who are future mothers, I trust we are on the path of becoming selfaware and brutally honest with ourselves. We are creative beings, never forgetting the gifts with which we have been bestowed— the love and tenderness, natural instincts, and intuition to feel the right path. It all lies in the mysterious meanderings of the heart. Are we really listening to our hearts, or confusing the bombarding information on social media with reality?
