November brings warmth and joy. A book that we at Ishtihaar have designed was officially released by the former Lt. Governor of Delhi Shri Anil Baijal yesterday at the IIC. The Garden of Pride: Project Vasant Udyaan is an inspirational and interesting visual story of community leadership in restoring the neighbourhood ecosystem. The design project and the process delighted me more as it had at its heart the restoration and beautification of a 14th Century Tughlaq-era monument Bada Lau ka Gumbad and the rejuvenation of water bodies and expansive garden (Bagh-e-Bahaar) surrounding it in Vasant Vihar. An interesting and informative panel discussion followed the launch. Best wishes to Citizen Action for Water Sustainability
