#Playon review 2017 series

In summary, from this series of five studies, it is possible to suggest that researchers can now target children’s physical activity during school lunch breaks with more confidence. Teachers, educational leaders, designers, researchers and play professionals can consider the findings from this article for future school playground intervention and planning to facilitate children’s active play within school playgrounds. Additionally, future research directions for school playground research to encourage children’s active play will be discussed. This scholarly article provides a research-based commentary on a range of school playground interventions to encourage both structured and unstructured active play opportunities. Rather than continually increasing the burdens placed upon busy teaching staff, the use of school playground interventions have emerged as a critical strategy within schools to facilitate and develop children’s active play via an informal curriculum. Children spend a large proportion of weekdays in schools, making schools an influential and suitable setting to promote children’s active play. Kashmir has been a touchy topic since ages but this book puts the issue under the spotlight once again.An emerging public health priority is to enhance children’s opportunities for active play. I learned many things that I did not know about the Valley and it is indeed shameful to think after what conspired there, there wasn’t any support from our government at all. The dialogues here were a little extravagant, I would say. Plays are about settings but are more importantly about the dialogues. But sadly, this one wasn’t very convincing. The writing style is good with genuine descriptions which only leaves the lagging story line that was expected to be a tad bit substantial.Īs I mentioned earlier, I love reading plays.

It almost feels like the story was used as an (unsuccessful) aid to help narrate the true incidents and occurrences during the period.

The author puts across the reason of it all and how it took place quite well but the story in itself, isn’t very strong. It highlights the emotions and helplessness of both the Muslims and the Hindus who were, till then, friends and well wishers. The play mainly recounts the Pundit exodus that took place in 1990 which is, in this book, laced with a fictional background story. Will he visit Ayesha and his house again? Will coming back to Srinagar open unhealed wounds and bring back painful memories? Ten years go by and Rohan is now a Major in the Indian Armed Forces who is posted in Srinagar. It is the year 1990 and suddenly, there is chaos everywhere and the Pundits are forced to leave their ancestral home and their livelihood behind and run for safety. As the play progresses, the setting shifts from Srinagar to Pakistan where a plot is being hatched to remove all Kashmiri Pundits from the area so that Pakistan can claim Kashmir as their own. Rohan’s and Ayesha’s families are close friends and have been neighbors for many years.

The play begins as Rohan, the son of a Hindu Pundit expresses his love for Ayesha, the daughter of a Muslim, on the sprawling lawn of Rohan’s ancestral Kashmiri house. It has been long since I read one but I love reading plays as, in my opinion, they get straight to the point and also work up one’s imagination in a different, albeit interesting way. The book is set in Srinagar and is in the form of a play. KAASH KASHMIR by Rajesh Talwaris basically a retelling of the purging of the Hindu Kashmiri Pundits in the year 1990.
