Dr Prem Jagyasi’s Carve Your Life’ Is A Bible To Life: Bhagyashree

Actress Bhagyshree was a picture of calmness and composure as she launched Dr Prem Jagyasi’s Carve Your Life: Live a Great Life with Carvism, a self-empowerment book for those seeking to find their true self, find meaning in their life and lead a fruitful and successful life.

“Bhagyashree is known for living life on her own terms and contribution to society and has carved her life according to values and practiced the concept of Carvism in true essence. Hence she was the ideal personality to inaugurate The Carve Your Life Book,” averred Dr Prem Jagyasi,  an award-winning global leader and acclaimed life coach, who has delivered keynote speeches and conducted focused workshops in several countries.

He is renowned for delivering succinct and customized Carve Your Life training programmes. In his book, he has answered readers’ queries about minimalism, productivity and tactical transformation in one’s self.

Shedding light on what inspired him to write this book, Dr. Prem Jagyasi said, “The art of carving one’s life through minimalism is empowering enough to bring about maximum transformation in one’s real self. My book intends to be a savior for all those who wish to find a purpose in their life, bring out their true self, and get the most productivity out of their endeavors.”

Added  Bhagyashree, “Dr. Prem’s book, honestly, is a bible to life. It is something we should read page by page, even if you read a paragraph every single day. We should have it by our bedside as something, just to remind us, on how simple life can be. So, make your life simple but significant.”

 "Sometimes we form very unrealistic definition of success. More than accumulation, it should be about contribution towards life. It is also very important to follow the bidding of your heart and to live a passionate life. In Dr Prem Jagyasi's Carvism principles, we can find great suggestions about how we can scrape out everything unnecessary from our lives and keep only those things that complete us, and ultimately help us in living a meaningful life,” added Bhagyashree.

The book has been edited, published and marketed by Times Group Books (TGB), Madhuita Mohanty, Senior Editor, TGB, said about the upcoming release, “We are delighted to publish Carve Your Life. We believe Dr. Prem Jagyasi’s indigenously developed philosophy of Carvism will immensely benefit readers as it provides practical insight into the art of being at one’s productive best.” With the rising need for practical, no-nonsense books and media with relevant life-inspiring content has grown exponentially in recent decades. Carve Your Life attempts to bridge that gap and help people identify clutter in their lives, declutter their lives and then focus on the material and non-material aspects that hold and add value in their lives.

Robotics Workshop With Hearing Impaired Children A JOSH Foundation-Team Luminosity initiative

In a fresh take on academics, children from different IGCSE schools are showing a keen interest in robotics workshops. As a part of their curriculum, the students are required to impart what they’ve learned to the underprivileged children from NGOs.

The future world being robotics centric, Team Luminosity’s ‘Hour of Robotics’ workshop, in association with JOSH Foundation, was a maiden collaboration with hopes for more such workshops, even advanced ones. Added Audiologist-Speech Therapist Devangi Dalal, “If the children like it, then there are many more to come.” Using Lego Mindstorms EV3 kits, their aim is to give back to the society all that knowledge they have acquired in their training.

JOSH Foundation, an NGO for the upliftment of children battling hearing impairment, was set up by ENT Specialist Dr. Jayant Gandhi along with Devangi Dalal, with a mission to empower differently-abled children.

“We are supporting them. Science helps in the overall progress and development of the child. Even the hearing impaired kids should know how robotics and machines work,” said ENT specialist Dr. Jayant Gandhi.

“Balance in education and CSR activities go hand in hand. That is one aspect for them. On the other hand, the hearing impaired children have not seen robotic machines at a personal level. They’ve seen it on TV, but have themselves not done it,” averred Devangi Dalal.

“Our team consists of 8 students across the age of 12-14 years and are fascinated by the world of robotics. We are going to participate in the FIRST Tech Challenge to be held in Pune this February,” stated a representative from Team Luminosity. “Our has a vision to educate and spread the knowledge to young children, the future of tomorrow,” the representative added.

The workshop proved to be a success as the children gained the necessary insight in the field of robotics and machines.
