What a truly powerful and unforgettable evening Nishabda turned out to be ❤️

Nishabda, “the story they couldn’t tell” lived up to its name in every sense. Through the expressive language of Indian classical dance, it brought to life a deeply moving narrative that confronts the harsh realities of gun violence, speaking when words fail.

Julie, what a vision you brought to the stage. The choreography, storytelling, and emotion stayed with us long after the curtains closed. And the young dancers — Anna, Sashwatha, Josh*ta, Shruti, and Riya — simply outstanding. Your grace, expressions, and commitment elevated every moment. And little Nivi… you melted every heart in the audience 😊

The evening began on such a high note with a stunning opening act led by Raveena Nair (Band Director/Keys), along with soulful vocals from Malavika Brijesh, Niranjana Binu, John Narikulam, and Jothilingam. Beautifully complemented by Pranav Mullakkal on violin, Tala Hillis on flute, and RK Menon on guitar. What a way to set the tone for the night!

A special appreciation to House of Kala - Akhilesh for his incredible choreographies and for providing the platform for this story back in 2025 summer.

Beyond the performance, what makes Nishabda even more meaningful is the purpose behind it — supporting efforts to build safer communities and protect children through awareness and action. Care & Share is proud to be part of this meaningful cause.

A heartfelt thank you to all our sponsors, volunteers, and incredible supporters who made this possible. It truly takes a community to bring something like this to life, and Saturday was a testament to that collective spirit.

Still soaking it all in… grateful, proud, and inspired ✨

What an incredible weekend at Devdas Returns! ❤️

Across Saturday and Sunday, we experienced back-to-back shows filled with nostalgia, satire, and big laughs and an amazing sense of community throughout. Your applause, your laughter, and your energy made every moment on stage truly special.

What makes this even more meaningful is the purpose behind it all. Because of your support, we’ve raised over $80K(final numbers will be shared once we complete reconciliation) towards Pediatric Cancer Support and Palliative Care. This impact goes far beyond the performances, and each one of you made it possible.

A heartfelt thank you to the BOSS team for their passion, hard work, and for bringing this production to life so beautifully.

We are also deeply grateful to our sponsors, whose generosity and belief in this cause helped make this event possible.

A special shoutout to our volunteers, who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure everything ran smoothly. This event simply wouldn’t have been possible without your dedication.

And to our wonderful audience—thank you for showing up across both days, for laughing with us, and for supporting this mission so wholeheartedly. This was truly a community effort.

With gratitude

Our hearts are heavy.

Santhosh ettan is the key pillar, the driving force, and the inspiration behind Seattle Saptaswara and Ganolsavam. His unwavering commitment to community service has shaped Ganolsavam into what it is today.

Santhosh ettan’s home was the “Tharavadu” of Seattle Saptaswara—a place where the doors were always open for endless discussions, practices, and shared laughter. He welcomed each of us with an open heart, hosting everyone without hesitation. His warmth and generosity created bonds and memories that we will cherish forever.

The journey of Seattle Saptaswara has not always been easy over the years, but Santhosh ettan always seemed to have an answer for everything. Whenever we felt demotivated or faced challenges, he would remind us, “Think about the impact of the platform - the talent we witness from the community, and the relief, dignity, and renewed belief it brings to deserving families through this show.” Those words always reminded us of the bigger purpose behind everything we do.

We have all experienced his unconditional love and warmth over the years.

The Seattle Saptaswara family stands with Latha chechi, Devu, and Kannan, holding you close in our hearts and offering all our love, strength, and support during this difficult time.

Santhosh etta, we will miss your warmth, guidance, and unwavering spirit. Your words and actions will always continue to inspire us, and guide us forward.

You will live in our hearts forever, dear Santhosh etta

We are deeply saddened to share the passing of Santhosh Nair (57), a beloved member of the Care & Share family and a former Board member who played an integral role in building and shaping Care & Share.

Santhosh was a true pillar of the community. Through his leadership, service, and heartfelt involvement, he gave generously of his time, energy, and spirit to bring people together and uplift those around him. He was deeply loved and respected by all who had the privilege of knowing him.

He is survived by his wife, Latha Nair, daughter Gayatri Nair, and son Govind Nair.

His loss leaves a profound void in our community. We extend our heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, and the entire community during this difficult time. Santhosh will be deeply missed, and his legacy will continue to live on through the many lives he touched and the community he helped build.
