My boy says hi… hope you have a wonderful day! 🙂 Past couple of days, he’s been crying a lot… not sleeping much even at night! Guess babies cry and there’s nothing we can do about it, but for the parents it can sometimes be quite far from easy to do any ‘root cause analysis’ 
…as Shruthi’s described in posts like Help! and The Sound Of Music.
Hope your good wishes are with him and all the children in the world… they are our future! 🙂

I’d been to Parikrama once, a month or so ago, and had a very good time with the kids there. They were kids coming from various slums, but being given ICSE level education, including things like sports and art and things like that. In fact they’ve used the walls and compound of the building itself…
I’ve heard this song countless times over the years. But somehow after my three day workshop for chilren’s camps last weekend, it makes more sense than ever. Here are the lyrics:

[Another old report from a few years ago…] Mr. Mani, a retired bank employee hails from an ordinary lower mid-income background. While cycling to work everyday, he used to pass by the Bangalore Central Jail. He observed children crying outside the jail with the breadwinner of the family in the prison. The kids of life-convicts…
Very unexpectedly, I ended up teaching a couple of neighborhood kids how to paint. Here are some of the ideas. Assumed that there is already an initial outline picture on the paper which is to be filled in… only the tip of the paintbrush should be dipped in paint, not the entire brush. first paint…
