Holidays and then all "happening" in life gone! 

Ya, this time I was waiting for the holidays very desperately! I so wanted to relax and not do/think about anything! And it has started happening! And I wanted that! And now here comes the irony..I wanted some "idleness" in life..was craving for it..but now I again feel like getting busy and its just day 2 of the vacation !Lol :D 

Anyway, Christmas gone yesterday! And this year my Christmas was fantastic! Obviously kids made it for me! Thanks to them for such a fun last day in school! 

No one has ever done a cake for me on my birthday, except family ofcourse! This time my kids did it for me! And I was completely surprised with this gesture! Life can be super sweet at times! 

But this year Christmas was very different. Every year I celebrate it at home, by having some hot soup with pav bhaji/cake/some Punjabi delicacy! Lots of people wish me! But this year, very few wished! And then there was no celebration at all at home, except the usual decoration of the tree! No special preparations/ anything at all! And I spent time with one of my college friends who I thought was not enjoying my company! Ha! I thought it was his bad idea to meet "me" on a X-mas day when everyone just wanna enjoy! I have become an anti-celebration person anyway! 

So, that's done! Just have some pics which I would be sharing here for they mean so much! 

:) 

Nearing end! Oh Really? 

I cannot believe so many things are nearing their end. This year will come to an end in just a few days. And 2014 will start. When I look back at this year, I strongly feel that it has really got so many ups for me, and at the same time so many downs! So this year is kinda balanced for me in terms of the number of successes and failures! 

One more major thing that's nearing an end is this FELLOWSHIP! 2 more weeks in this Unit, and then one more Unit! And I am done! Total 8 weeks only! Kind of! Not more than that..considering we get so many holidays also. And then the end of my journey with my kids! I do not know how it is going to be. Then I am going to go to the SECONDARY school with either the boys or the girls of my class. Just do not know how things are going to be over there. I visited that school today and I was so shocked to see the atmosphere over there and it really made me think the life of my kids post I leave. It will not be easy! Or will it be? I do not know!  

But then I should not be just talking about the ends. With every end, comes a beginning. But as of now I do not really know what's next for me. I feel okay with the kind of encouragement I get from people around me. Not too tensed and at the same time not too excited about things. Just going with the flow these days. 

Sigh! So many thoughts in my mind as of now! Contemplating! Time to go for a walk! 

An eventful life! 

Last 2 weeks have been too much! And they comprised of both ups and downs for you. And I have mixed feelings right now! 

Starting from the TAL session that I had to lead at the conference. When I did it the first time at P's group meeting, I did not get a good feedback! Had to change it all over again and then execute at the conference! How can I forget the wedding that week! And then resources preparation for this session! Sitting for long hours (firstly alone and then with A)! Such a hectic work! But I wanted to do it as I thought it was cool! So, did it! Conference was okay! Could have been better! There is a scope for improvement always! 

And then my girls! They have got the guts seriously! S was making them learn a new prayer. They had done just half of it but then decided to sing it in the school in front of like 100 other kids and staff, without even informing anyone! And when they started singing it, my mouth was wide open! Was a huge surprise! :) Right now feeling really proud of them! And then one of my girls finally told me everything about her life, and why she had been so stressful for so long! Thumbs up to the open discussions I had with girls of my class on Friday! Hoping to lead such discussions with their parents as well! 

And then one happy moment - one of these days when I was not well in school, my Hindi teacher prepared Lemon tea for me! Next day he came and said, "Raman Sir, aapse subah subah baat ho jaati hain toh din achcha kat jaata hain!" Haha! :D I felt too happy! 

My kids celebrated Asha's birthday on Saturday! Such a lovely surprise they had planned for her! :) 

And then Metro walk on very same day! Kids were just too much excited! Could see that in their eyes! But that day I got a little upset when there Tanu started crying! I just did not understand why and she did not even share with me the reason. Talked to her mother when I left her home that day. Even then she did not say a word. Though she was happy that time. Also, Shivani requested me to travel with S didi only. I was like why could not they do that with me! But they loved the old man at Pind Baluchi's! And here we were:- 

And then some boys of my class, just not ready to break the ice and mend their ways of doing certain things! All this will take time probably! I have lots to do on their investment! Even more! Will continue applying new strategies! 

But then I am also happy about certain other things. My kids saw and tasted a pizza for the first time! Enjoyed it to the core! Hope to give them such moments in the future as well! 

But ofcourse, not totally happy! But I am sure I am going to get total happiness soon! :) 

My class kids! Planned a surprise today for their own classmate  ~ Kajol! :D 

Today we celebrated Kajol's birthday in school. I had decided to keep it normal like any other day of my class. But my kids were all set for celebrating her birthday! They told me the plans they had for her birthday. Soni managed getting one two chocolates and a candle. She put those chocolates first on a plate,and the n affixed the candle in between the chocolates. All kids joined in and I was the cameraman clicking pictures of them while they were all getting ready to wish her a happy birthday! :) 

I love them! And these are the ones who made me the happiest in the last two years! <3

JOY!!!!!!!

I need joy in life, in my class, everywhere in everything I do! That's it!!! 

Life is not the same as before!

The familiar world is suddenly strange and wonderful. Maybe you want to explore it; maybe you'll stay still and let it wash over you. Follow your instinct and you can't go wrong.
