About Me

Hi, this is somebody who has taken the quieter by-lane to be happy. The hustle and bustle of the big, booming main street was too intimidating. Passing through the quieter by-lane I intend to reach a solitary path, laid out just for me, to reach my destiny, to be happy primarily, and enjoy the fruits of being happy. (www.sandeepdahiya.com)

Online kindergarten class

 

As the stalled education system grappled with the Covid-time shutdown of schools, the institutions tried to provide some succor to the anxious parents by going for online classes. It was something superficial and half-baked but the show had to go on and the little students needed to be reminded daily that there are things called studies, school, class, book and teachers.

Suddenly a new set of instructions flashed on Nevaan’s mother’s phone. The teachers wanted a plain background during the online classes. The reason was that one student sat by an aquarium during the class. So instead of paying heed to the alphabets, the students had a good online discussion about the fish, which one is a good fish, which one is bad, who is the Papa fish or Mama fish. Taking inspiration from it, the next day a tiny girl sat with her cat. Then someone found his dog in the class initiating parleys about cats and dogs. So now to avoid the extra load of new and newer topics, the overworked online teachers want a plain white background behind all the students.
