Nothing Unusual

The masons are busy building the parapet. They’ve also plastered part of the building. Balai came to work today. He’s painted 3 windows after sandpapering them. The paint we are using this time is “bus green” – a dark green that I like for some odd reason.
There was school as usual. And now that the festivities are over, we have full attendance. All 84 kids were present. All of them were present yesterday too.
Dani is ill. Something wrong with her stomach. She still taught though personally I feel she should be resting. She has been. And also drinking lots of fluids. She feels she is going to be fine tomorrow. Tak is there to take care of her. And of course, we are here to ensure that she gets well soon. She had lost her appetite. But did eat something for lunch today.
Yesterday Bansi had asked the children who were taking tuition outside, to come to school today before assembly. Most parents came. I did not talk to them as I wanted to Bansi to speak to them and take some responsibility. Basically, Bansi told the parents that we have a method of teaching the children. But when a child takes tuition (these are nursery and class one kids!) they somehow get confused.
Most parents said they had appointed tutors before admissions. They were in any case planning to discontinue. Let’s see. But I am happy that Bansi handled the situation well.
Otherwise, nothing eventful happened. This is how life is here.... routine.... peaceful....uneventful on most days.
