Stone Soup is a weekly meetup community operating, to my knowledge, in Mumbai. It set off by having events in the residence of one- Leslie and Mayuree Pandit from Juhu. However, now they are opening up to new venues whenever someone attending stone soup offers to welcome people to their homes.
It is a space where everyone can come and share -ANYTHING.
I have seen people cry, laugh, sing, dance, crack a joke, and simply just share an experience which was painful, thrilling, loving, enriching, momentous, intimate. I have seen people expose their weaknesses. I have seen people talk about varied circumstances which they put themselves into or life offered to them.
I have seen people embrace each other.
I have seen people embrace each other.
Its a space where people from diverse backgrounds come to mingle and create something never tasted before.
I came across the man who stands to promote and holds it in broad daylight without moving : "Apna Dharam ka paalan karo" board in Versova here. Saw him cycle back home in the dead of the night after the event. I spoke to him for the first time and he was like - this is my calling. This is it. This is all I have to say, rest shall come to you with self realization.
I came across a lady who lives in old age home for woman. She shared her experience about how a simple crack in the dining table led to a split of 6 woman dining together into 2 groups of 3. They dint want to join the table back. As if, enjoying the change. She felt split in her heart and wondered how was she supposed to heal that.
I came across someone singing a song.. it was called " I Love myself the way I am" by Jai Michael Joseph .. Oh!! Its a must to listen to the lyrics it is so healing.
