Manjula’s Mysore is the same and different, we’re in India after all.
Our new business with Sarvesh and Stephen as directors. Our priority is to remember and celebrate Manjula by reflecting her kindness.
We continue to welcome guests at our shared home at Mysore Bed and Breakfast and MyCycle Tours for a great introduction to Mysore where you’ll get to know Manjula.
There is now a third string to our bow.
We’ve always supported others since the first cycles we gave to Kanchana for her kindergarten and by providing work. When Manjula and I got engaged she insisted we give rather than receive gifts: cycles to an NGO working with trafficked young people, clearing a loan for one of our auto rickshaw drivers. But this wasn’t a afterthought. it was how Manjula lived. She created an open house, a home for our guests to share with other Aya’s (houseworkers) calling in for a tea, to talk through things and get support.
Since losing Manjula we’ve given many more cycles, handed out our very own branded masks, sponsored a young boy’s education, provided meals for older people at an Ashram, placed benches and created a memorial garden in the park opposite our house and taken our team on holiday as a big thank you.
An important addition has been creative days for school students, including great event for visually impaired young women and introduced them to cycling; reflective space informal gatherings for young adults and sponsorship of Kaveri and Naveen.
To celebrate Manjula and continue to radiate her kindness.
Here’s our press release and we were featured in a few local papers.
You’ll find more details on this and our sister site.
We’re open to new ideas that continue her goodness or if you wish to stay or cycle, contact Stephen at sfindia@gmail.com
