Together with YA

13.12.2013

C-67, Second floor, Lajpat Nagar 2

Shefali, Pranshu, Ashita, Anuj bhai, Shashank
With Anushree.

Life in Mumbai. Subtle amazing things. Memories coming back for Shefali. Amazed at her ability of noticing details in smaller things.
Juggling work and other aspects. How to deal with organizations, staying in touch with YA participants, working out through donation model. A little innovation. Suggestions.

Talk about politics, of AAP emergence, of responsibilities of polity and a hope of making right where we went wrong. Nai talim. Evolution of systems being a part of the system. Our understanding and discretion on media govt conspiracy theories. About education systems, need for revolution in primary levels, is it a simple or complicated question - uniformity of education standards. How it is a central answer to many questions.
Difference of perspectives. How to bridge the gap and who wil do that? Suggestions for YA. Wierd instances of public behaviour and belief. Working through it.

Lunch. Sitting around on the floor. Sharing. A feeling of togetherness with people in the same frequency.
Fruits, serving. Shefali told about finding a course in UK.

Humble. Bright. Sharp. Mature and kiddish simultaneously. Unsparing. Clear. Radical. Principled.

Wrote on card for Kishan bhaiya. Drew a peacock feather for him. Remembered humility, a constant smile and empathy over raw intelligence.

Pranshu accompanying us to metro station. Me saying what's changed for him. A fulfillment, feeling of completeness - doing what one loves.

Medicines for Anushree's boss. In auto with her. Digestive tablets. Mishti doi in greenpark. Metro to Huda city. Return to Vaishali hours late than planned.
