I wonder - what do all of us want for our children. As I understand, every child is doing some form of "tuition" at home.

Back home after 3 days at K Campus, it all seems such a luxury. Yet there was a sense of peace there which is missing here
Other day at Bodichipalli someone pointed to Pranav and said - he is a BIG rowdy. This stuck to my mind, it tore my heart. I spoke to Amma. She told me the story of my uncle who went to Srilanka in the kallakappal ( illegal boat), how he was caught by police etc. And she told me how her mon used to say about that uncle - all fingers will not be the same. Today this uncle is the one who has such excellent relationship with all and binds my Moms family together.

It helped me calm down and not worry about the rowdy label.

Wondering where I make these rules, this looks so paradoxical to me when I reflect
