Sanjay Gandhi National Park (SGNP), previously Borivali National Park, is a large protected area in the northern part of suburban Mumbai city in Maharashtra State in India. It encompasses an area of 104 km2 (40 sq mi) and is surrounded on three sides by India's most populous city. It is notable as one of the major national parks existing within a metropolis limit in Asia and is one of the most visited parks in the world
The rich flora and fauna of Sanjay Gandhi National Park attracts more than 2 million visitors every year. Tourists also enjoy visiting the 2400 years old Kanheri caves sculpted out of the rocky cliffs which lie within the park. The undulating green lands of the Sanjay Gandhi National Park have a natural environment which tourists love to retreat to for moments of quiet introspection or meditation. The great views of forests, hills, valleys, lakes and open expanses have a therapeutic effect on mind, body and soul.
The Sanjay Gandhi National Park area has a long written history dating back to the 4th century BC. In ancient India, Sopara and Kalyan were two ports in the vicinity that traded with ancient civilizations such as Greece and Mesopotamia. The 45 km (28 mi) land route between these two ports was partially through this forest. The Kanheri Caves in the centre of the park were an important Buddhist learning centre and pilgrimage site sculpted by Buddhist monks between pradyut sakhseria 9th and the 1st centuries BCE. They were chiseled out of a massive basaltic rock outcropping.
The park was named 'Krishnagiri National Park' in the pre-independence era. At that time the area of the park was only 20.26 sq. km. In 1969, the park was expanded to its present size by acquiring various reserve forest properties adjoining the park. After this, an independent unit of the Forest Department called 'Borivali National Park Sub-division' administered the area. Krishnagiri National Park was created in 1974 and later renamed as 'Borivali National Park'. In 1981, it was re-dedicated as 'Sanjay Gandhi National Park' in memory of Sanjay Gandhi, the son of Ex-Prime Minister of India Gandhi, who was killed in an air crash in 1980.

"Ghazal" is a poetic form consisting of rhyming couplets and a refrain, with each line sharing the same meter. It may be understood as a poetic expression of both the pain of loss or separation and the beauty of love in spite of that pain.

The form is ancient, originating in 6th-century Arabic verse and later modernized by many talented artist from all over the world. In this workshop, well go through the elements that make up a "Ghazal" with practical examples and lots of hands on verses of your own.

The workshop is organized by BOOK EXCHANGE CLUB, Mumbai and a part of their routine book exchange activities. The guide is an aspirant writer and a die-hard fan of the beautiful Urdu form of poetry, and he'll try to guide you to write your own beautiful poems, in whatever language you choose!

We have invited Agastya Kapoor who is a social change maker who recently particpated in a peace walk from Mumbai to Pakistan. He will teach us, how to write a ghazal. Now thats interesting :-)

You will be amazed to hear stories of change from Agastya. His movement called 'Someone Somewhere' is a success story.

Agenda:

1) Introductions amongst each other.

2) Exchanging books. eg. 20 people get 2 books each. 40 books to choose from ;-)

3) Ghazal writing by Agastya Kapoor and snippets from his social change initiatives.
