Playing small games and relating them to real life. Learning to act in different methods in same problem, acting not talking. An important moment for me was the explanation which concluded how long term environment influences instantaneous decisions. Sailesh Karki Games like colombian hypnosis( esp. the 4th form), blind exercises glass cobra… almost all games were refreshing, Image theatre was very powerful for me.( the part were images were instructed to explore their deepest feelings and express them in words the moment they are signalled to), Forum was the source of perception and ideas to look upon situations, ways to tackle some incidences, creating images using your perception. An experience of lifetime for the lifetime, sort of driving force towards perceiving things, a trigger to give an outlet to your oppressed self. Sagar Thapa Explore real life situations, it was interactive and fun, the games sessions were somehow related to real life and it made us think and be more aware. Abhishek Tamarakar The fact that I was pushed to express my emotions through the image theatre, debriefing, playing games by just letting go. Moments were filled with joy, happiness and learning in the end. The Aha moment for me was while playing the fainting game and the moment I was saved I felt something good. Sometimes I feel that I am all too alobne and helpless and if someone could help me and through this game, as i was saved i got to know the feeling. Anusmriti Guragain Making image of given theme, giving chance to spectator in forum, all the games played. All the games were interesting. I liked glass cobra extremely. After I found the circle in the same way I was very much surprised. Janak Raj Pokharel I liked Radha Ma'am's ways of explaining whole of the things and handling any situation so promptly and in a comfortable manner. I liked the childish game which turned out to be related in so many ways in our everyday life. I liked the chances given to everyone of us to put our opinions after the games. Topics brought out were so real and while making images of the same, I could comfort myself because the problems could be handled in so many other ways from so many different perceptions. Santhoshi Gajurel Laughing, having fun, fainting by numbers( falling without being frightened),Being aware of different voices, finding someones : in real life if I have any hand it will never let me go because you never know about bumbs.

Pratistha Ghimre Games, Radha Ma'am's inspiring word, busy only with myself, Atleast for a moment I forgot the presence of being a bookish medical student The forum experience where we thought of something and were supposed to act the same way. Quite difficult to put our words into action. I think this fact would help transform me to be daring enough to take action rather than thinking only.

Bhushan Bikram K.C Everyone was motivated to speak up, We worked in groups, we got an opportunity to invite our friends to see us in action The time during fainting by numbers when Ravi Shankar Sir fainted saying " my mother-in-law".
