SUMMARY:Autism Awareness Month
DESCRIPTION:Every year\, April is observed as World Autism Awareness Month\, with an aim to support the creation of fulfilling lives and relationships for persons with autism. This month also acts as a marker of the work that has been done so far\, and the road that lies ahead of us in our pursuit of enabling the inclusion and acceptance of persons with autism in our university. To observe this month\, the OLS planned a series of events and activities to promote and foster feelings of warmth and acceptance among the Ashoka community\, specifically in the context of appreciating and accepting neurodiversity around us. \nAs a kickstart\, the OLS put up posters across the campus listing a few ways in which we can extend a hand of friendship to our peers who are on the autism spectrum. The idea was to encourage the Ashoka community to pause for a moment and engage with the poster to understand and implement some of the inclusive practices highlighted through it\, so as to make our neurodiverse peers feel more at home at Ashoka. \n \nOn April 12\, the OLS had invited two organizations\, Action for Autism (AFA) and Action for Ability Development and Inclusion (AADI)\, for the Spring Haat organized by the Student Life Office. Both the organizations set up their stalls\, showcased the products made by people with autism and other disabilities\, and engaged with various students\, staff\, and faculty at the stalls. Along with this\, there was an interactive activity organized to explore the common understanding of autism amongst the Ashoka community members and put down questions that might have about it. The purpose was to initiate a conversation around autism and neurodiversity on the Ashoka campus. Later\, the responses were collated\, the Ashoka community was encouraged to reflect on their connotations\, and common questions were addressed for the purpose of increasing awareness about autism. \n\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n  \nThe OLS encourages those curious to learn more about autism or create inclusive spaces around themselves to reach out to the office\, for the month may have drawn to a close\, but the dialogue on autism must continue. \n

SUMMARY:Baithak: Love\, Life and Rebellion
DESCRIPTION:Description:  Saumya will perform poetry by the masters\, integrating stories from their life. These stories define what makes them a poet\, what defines their language\, and what were the conditions which led to the creation of a particular piece of poetry\, which is time and space defying in the current context. The poets usually included in these narratives are Kalidasa\, Amir Khusro\, Mirza Ghalib\, Amrita Pritam\, Paash\, Parveen Shakir\, Agha Shahid Ali\, Kamala Das\, Nissim Ezekiel\, Faiz and Iqbal. In essence\, the session is strung together using a mix of Hindi and English translations.  \n  \nAbout the Artist: Saumya has spent the past many years of her life discovering\, deconstructing and reconstructing the idea of poetry for herself\, her students and her larger community. Through many engagement sessions and formal courses in universities across India\, Saumya has endeavoured to make poets\, across languages\, friendly and familiar to the public. She has been mentoring many young poets through forums like Poets Collective\, which she founded\, and is known for curating a number of unique events themed around poetry (for one\, she also has a world record in her name!). She sings poems and dances to the tunes of recitation. Poems by Ghalib\, Faiz\, Agha Shahid Ali\, Amir Khusro and Kamala Das consume her. And when she is not dabbling in this world\, she finds quiet and peace in her little mountain homestay\, which she runs in Bir\, Himachal Pradesh. \n  \nAbout: Baithak has been conceptualized and envisioned to create a non-stage forum centred around arts that will engage\, listen and speak with the audience. They can range from beginning a dialogue on relevant issues around us\, to simply soaking in the creative churning of an art form!
