This was the day when our journey with Ch. Lakhiram Arya Anathalaya gained momentum. When we reached there early in the morning, the children were busy playing and we thought it would naturally be a tedious job to make them sit and study. The first thing was quite true but they proved our second assumption wrong by the great interest they showed in learning. We started our mission with each one of us handling a particular class of students. We had to get back to our school days to explain their lessons. It was interesting and at times challenging too when they asked questions which sounded simple but needed some extra effort to explain them in the simplest form which they can understand.
One of the interesting things was we had to teach even English in Hindi!! It was a real challenge to Krishna and me as we don't know Hindi. It was a good experience. When the kids learnt English, we learnt Hindi from them by the way.The classes went so interesting to the children and us as well that we realised very late that we had to leave.There came a touching moment, when we were about to leave the place, two kids came running with their books and were pleading to teach their next lessons too.We were dumbstruck and then somehow managed to do some part of the lessons which the kids asked for.
It was a great experience which gave us that feel of contentment and complacence. Not only the kids, even we are eager and excited awaiting our next class....
