A Slice Of Heaven!!!!

Here this too is taken out of the leaves of my ‘Teaching Manuscript’:



After having worked at a Matriculation School initially..switching over to the mode of the International (& Residential) was to me a world of difference!!



For e.g. in the former clan of schools, you can ‘hire’ the help of the parents in home-work assignments and the like; the children too, after the 8.00-4.00 stint at school..have their own world of individualities and leisures—like going for a bicycle ride, relax over a cup of mamma’s hot coffee.. get to play cricket, gathering all the kids in the colony.



While, here our children always are to confirm to time-bound schedules..and honestly whatever the luxuries that get to unfold before them, it’s a tough nut to crack their ‘home-sickness’!!!



I’m sure our kids end up sacrificing a lot and also do end up gaining..Contradictory but true!!



If they sacrifice their moments with the near and dear ones..aren’t they simultaneously gaining in adapting themselves to strangely new cicumstances and acquaintances?!



Our kids might be sacrificing in recreational activities..but it is again,they who get to spend their time in a constructive manner..compared to their day-scholar counterparts! ’ coz their very stay is in itself a ‘Learning’!!



Our kids might not have the ‘license’ to wake up at 7.00a.m…or till the time he (or she) gets ready.. being doted upon by the mom, who feeds his break-fast while he keeps‘waging a war’ with his shoe ‘n’ socks!!



In turn our kids are aware of themselves and at a very early age, earn the biggest ‘wealth’ of all times-Responsibility.



All this clearly springs from their attitude of mingling, living, celebrating and growing in a positive atmosphere resonating with a vibrancy..very typical of what one can get to see within the Indian(or for that matter the Lankan) cricket team!!!!



And above all, the child, even after having left his ‘Alma Mater’
....makes it a point to re-connect to us; and profoundly thank us for all that we've done to them..is indeed nothing but a Slice of Heaven!
Luv You’ll Kiddos.

dear mss,
Thanks once again for being a consistent supporter for whatever I tend to scribble:bowdown:bowdown

Cheers,

Saras.

 

Dear Sir,

Thanks first for taking the time off your precious schedule to step in!

>She does everything for me. And God knows I do next to nothing for her.
Sir, most often I too feel the same of my Ma..SHE does everything for me..but I what can I do to reciprocate to HER unconditional Love?!?!

>But I was just wondering whether they may be conducive to the soft life of a painter, a writer or a sculptor.
No..sir, that's a misconception ..actually we have some wonderful musicians and painters too!!

Regards & love,
Saras

 

My dear dear sweetiema,
You have well understood the pulse of this post and I owe you a million thanks for the same!!!!

dear ILT,
I do agree with your views but these children's situations are mostly different..and in the long run they start not just adapting but loving this kind of a stay.
Not to leave out our efforts in being really kind and affectionate to them too!!!!
