An ideal venture that I would like to have one day of my own would be comprised of these components.
Its never too late to do anything. If one has the determination, one is able to do what he/she wishes. One of the things that has had an inspiration on me is the Lines of Grey Project.
Initiated by Suchitra Vijayan, this is truly a kind of work that I would be wanting to do someday.
I volunteer for the Empowerment International Organization in Nicaragua as a Graphic Designer, and they deal with Poor Children education. Kathy Adams, the director got in touch with me over Flickr, for a video work, but due to some delay this happened. Their style of working is truly novel and a definite inspiration for me.
As I have blogged earlier as well, Children Education happens to be an area that I am deeply concerned about and I feel this is truly is a solution to the economic conditions of many countries.
I had come across this talk by Sir Ken Robinson, where he talks about "Do Schools today Kill creativity?", and how we in today's world are not giving the child the freedom to be creative. In the process how we are actually reducing the creative population.
Ideally I would like to open up something on the grounds of what Suchitra has done, on the lines of what Kathy is doing, and what Sir Ken is talking about!

Hi Kshitz!
It was clear from me since the day I saw your photos on Flickr of the children in school in India what your passion. See your graphic design work (for us) has also been really expressive of your creative side and ability to use it for causes you love.
There is no doubt in my mind that you will be reaching children in the future. What, and how is up to you and the universe but I trust you will find your way, if not it will find you!
Thanks for the kind words here in this post and for your work with us!
