School bells in the morning, wedding bells in the evening


I was so excited about going to my placement this morning.  I was really  looking forward to seeing the boys again after the weekend.  At 10am they all promptly ran up the stairs into the room, saying "Good morning Maam" and starting setting up the room - pulling the tables out and lining them up for the start of class. 

We started this morning's class discussing what everyone had done over the weekend.  I showed them a picture of me at the Taj Mahal which was met with excitement and questions.  There was a brief discussion about Australia winning the cricket. We then started with revision from Friday's class - "A and AN" and sentence composition.  Next we included "SOME" into the mix. The boys are so willing to learn, attentive and enthusiastic.  At 11am there music teacher took the class for their music class.  This was great to watch and brought a smile to my face. 

Post lunch all the girls in the Lilly group gathered in our apartment for "Ladies Evening". An afternoon of henna application and traditional Indian wedding dress ups. Anne, my roomie, was our gorgeous bride to be. Throughout the afternoon Anne was transformed from gorgeous Westerner to gorgeous Westerner Indian bride to be complete with wedding hair, makeup, dress, jewellery and henna. The bridal sari is such a stunning look.  Im thrilled with my henna hand tattoo.

So good to skype with loved ones this afternoon. Missing you all. 

Namaste x
