I've hardly touched any of my social media accounts for the last ten days that I've been on vacation. So blissful!!

*Going back into vacation mode*

Every single time a political story breaks in India, I think of a Soviet writer called Yuri Olesha, and a book he wrote in 1927, The Three Fat Men.

"A clown was reciting a poem to the
music:

These Three Fat Men— so fat are they.

They drink and gobble night and day.

The only pastime that they know
is to watch their bellies grow.

Beware , fat pigs, the time will come
When you will pay for what you’ve done."

Crazy, crazy day has taken us more than 11 hours to drive from Calcutta to Bhubaneswar. It usually takes less than 7 hours (Odisha has unimaginably beautiful highways), but for some reason our fast tag card hasn't worked and there have been two tyre punctures. What's really amazing is, my parents, my husband and I are having a ball of a time together despite all these delays.

"Our conscience is like our permanent best friend. Jiji, the cat, represents Kiki's conscience. He is always arguing with her and telling her what to do, but is loyal. Just like a best friend pulls us up, so does our conscience, especially if we have been good." - A 7th grader in our last batch for the month.
What a way to close this month's Learning from Cinema programme on self esteem! 😊

Having heard some very cool things about the movie from their schoolmates, this class decided to get really comfortable for the screening. The whole idea of a teenager choosing to live independently is empowering for these 13-year olds.

One of our students loved our class on self esteem on Monday a lot. She made this gift for us. Isn't it amazing?

I was waiting to see how invested teenaged boys feel in Kiki's story. I have to commend them for being so captivated. People learn to discriminate. They're not born with mindsets that pull anyone or anything down. Here's Abhinav talking about how exciting it is for a boy in trouble to be saved by a girl. The boys agreed very emphatically.

Today's class with 8th graders feels special because they've challenged themselves to watching Kiki's Delivery Service in Japanese with English subtitles. As 13 year olds they're wishing they had as much autonomy as Kiki, but they're also thankful they don't have to worry about paying rent and bills just yet. 😀
