Dateline Mussoorie: Mussoorie’s own Shubhdarshini Singh’s solo exhibition entitled ‘Epiphanies’ was opened to visitors at VR Art Space, Parade Point, Clock Tower. This collection of over thirty paintings that were made during Covid pandemic portray the artists personal way of dealing with loss, depression and loneliness. In the months that followed, the artist follows her heart and put paint to canvass to depict her inner feelings. ‘The night welds around me circles of pain/ The urge is great, /the urge to break away.’

These colourful canvasses -some as large as 36×36 -show nature, the seasons, the flora and fauna of the hillside in all its glory. This collection holds a special place in the artist’s heart with each one telling a tale of its own.

The artist with one of her works

Calling themselves the Outsider Art artists, Singh has had no formal training in painting, unless one includes the fact that she has had her education at Shantiniketan’s Vishwa Bharati. The self-taught artist’s paintings are packed with her dreams, hope and vision, feelings, failures, and triumphs. Epiphany catches the viewer’s attention and hits an emotional cord. In her own words Shubhdarshini Singh says: “Most of my work here was done when I was dealing with a lot of loneliness, depression and angst during Covid. These paintings were a source of relief and inspiration for me to look forward to doing something worthwhile during the pandemic.” She further adds, “This collection also shows my inner transformation from a city girl to someone who has made these hills her home.”

Not new to creativity completed her mass communication from Chandigarh, post which she worked as a copywriter and print journalist. Soon she moved into TV production as a coordinator, and then as a self-taught painter, producer, director, script director for various programs in several genres.

Her first solo exhibition on Medical Art was held at the Art Gallery, New Delhi in 2009 as well as Bharat Bhavan.

Surbhi Aggarwal curator of the exhibition observed: ‘It was difficult for me to pick out the best from her varied work. She is a very creative person. I am so surprised that she has yet to find recognition. as an artist for the incredible work she has done. She seems to grasp a sudden manifestation or perception of the essential nature or meaning of something. In her painting ‘Lovers’ she has an intuitive grasp of reality through a usually simple though striking event. Suddenly, as if by a swift insight, everything is made clear.’     

‘Epiphanies’ will be open to visitors until 10th of October at the VR Art Space, Clock Tower, Mussoorie.  If you happen to be in Mussoorie do stop by to witness how rock-bottom can be a springing board for those who have an artist in them.

Green Life, Landour, Mussoorie

Dateline Mussoorie: It was a decade ago, in the picturesque town of Landour, photographer, naturepreneur – Vivek Binepal embarked on a journey that would change not only his life but also those whom he came across. A seasoned marketing and communications professional Vivek decided to follow his heart and explore sustainable business ideas for remote regions in the Himalayas.

Originally intending to stay in Landour, Mussoorie for just a few months, Vivek  fell in love with the community and the breathtaking beauty that surrounded him, evolving his short stay into a lifelong commitment. During his initial years, Vivek had the opportunity to collaborate with Woodstock School and the Hanifl Centre, which exposed him to new perspectives, deepened his connection with the mountains and understanding of its hidden treasures. Immersing himself in the local culture, he engaged in numerous meaningful activities, working closely with local communities, villages, and the governing bodies on issues related to social welfare, fair trade practices, and responsible tourism. During this time, Vivek’s passion for organic farming and handmade products grew stronger.

Green Life, Landour, Mussoorie

In 2014, Vivek founded Green Life. This venture started as an exhibition, showcasing organic farmers and local artisans across major cities. However, it quickly evolved into something more significant. In 2015, Green Life became a registered company headquartered in Landour, Mussoorie. With his extensive network and deep-rooted relationship with local farmers and shop owners, Vivek began sourcing and supplying products like organic farm-fresh produce, local delicacies, and handcrafted items to Mussoorie and neighbouring towns like Rishikesh and Dehradun. In 2018, Vivek took a leap forward and launched the Green Life website, where his family, friends, and a handful of customers could conveniently order these local treasures from the comfort of their homes.  Despite dedicating over nine months to writing, designing, and other creative tasks, the launch coincided with the outbreak of the Covid pandemic.

Amid the chaos and uncertainty, Green Life found its purpose. The team collaborated with the Uttarakhand Organic Board to facilitate a direct connect between local farmers and customers across India. Employing local staff members, with the help of a dedicated team, including Anita Binepal, Shivranjani Singh, and Vivek himself, the website became a lifeline, connecting hundreds, if not thousands, of customers with the natural goodness of Uttarakhand.

Nine-years down the line, Green Life has been committed to promoting local, natural, handmade, and organic products. In collaboration with the Landour Cantonment Board, Green Life organises the renowned “Landour Mela,” a one-of-a-kind event that celebrates the region’s rich heritage and brings together local artisans and farmers. This unique exhibition serves as a platform dedicated to promoting local businesses, Farming NGOs and women entrepreneurs hailing from the picturesque and secluded villages nestled in the Himalayan foothills of Uttarakhand.

Vivek adds, “Not just a business, Green Life also carries a sense of purpose. At Green Life, we view ourselves as your partners on your path to a healthier, happier, and more natural lifestyle.” With over 200 products ranging from groceries, beverages, and body care to clothing and accessories, Green Life delivers the goodness of the Himalayas right to the doorsteps of its customers across India.

The story of Green Life is a testament to the power of passion, perseverance, and the beauty of living harmoniously with nature. Through their endeavours, Vivek and his team continue to uplift local communities, preserve traditional practices, and protect the mesmerising Himalayan landscape for generations to come.
