CBA x Studio Samprapti: Stories of Joy, Love, and Connection in Dharamshala

CBA collaborated with Studio Sampraapti, an incubator and experiential space for creative exploration in Dharamshala, Himachal Pradesh for a heartwarming community children’s book reading session with a mixed group of children and adults.

We read Nilofer Ki Muskaan, a tender story about rediscovering happiness, and The Invisible String, a gentle story that reminds us of the invisible bonds of love that transcend distance and time. These books created a space for play, reflection, imagination, and connection.

The session included an interactive storytelling experience where we collectively searched for Nilofer’s missing muskaan (smile), encouraging everyone to tap into their own ideas of joy and what it means to lose and find happiness. This was followed by a string activity, where each person shared a meaningful moment of connection they felt with someone else in the group, symbolically tying us together in a web of shared understanding.

We concluded by reflecting on the power of happiness, love, and coming together in a community.
