So I visited school today after the sudden decision to shut down on March 8th. The security aunty was gleaming with delight after seeing some movement in school.
I miss the excitement of children early morning, the chaos during lunch time, the gathering of children near my table with a million questions, rushing up and down to take classes, the horrid tea I have inspite of knowing that 😉, the staffroom gossips, correcting notebooks, art work and so on.
It was deserted and dusty today, with painting going on in the building. Didn't know where to begin. Took a good 45 minutes, although 30 minutes was my estimate, to clear up my books.
I was happy to see my potted plants are being watered. I thanked Miskin bhayya for tajing good care of them on my way home. Hoping everything returns to normalcy soon.
