It was a seemingly normal day in Dhaka and after getting free from work, I decided to grab a quick bite in a nearby restaurant Yellow Submarine. I had heard a lot about this place but this was my first time there. Upon entering it, I realized how expensive it is but since I was…
Unlike the last 2 years, this time around Teacher’s Day wasn’t even slightly enjoyable for me. Firstly, i was away from my kids and Secondly, It bought back a horrible memory, a memory which i was running away from, a memory which i wasn’t ready to face or accept. It brought it back so strongly…
5 months ago(in December, ’12), i had made a solemn promise to myself, a promise of not applying for any jobs or further studies, which i would have joined way into the future(6 months), just for the heck of having something to fall on post-fellowship. TFI organizes a job fair and helps its fellows with…
One of my strongest learning in Khushi so far has been the value of keeping one’s word. I have learnt that a person’s reputation is built only and only by one’s ability to follow up one’s words with action. I had heard this truth before but as they say a truth isn’t a truth unless…
I haven’t really written about my teaching experience at Khushi a lot, even though there is so much that i experience each day, i somehow rarely feel like writing about it. However, the moment about which i would be writing today is one of the closest to my heart, it is like one of those unforgettable experiences…

Anjali, the person who has very graciously taken out time to write this post stating her experience,…
December 1st was a very special day for me. On a personal level, i finally made an attempt towards paying a humble tribute to Bhagat Singh, the man whose sacrifice gave me the courage to take the first steps itself. On a professional level, the kids achieved their first big goal, we still have 7 more of…
Today at Khushi during the doctor’s visit, all hell suddenly broke loose when he decided to give all girls injections for tetanus. I who was very innocently in my class teaching 15 girls at that time(totally unaware of the storm that was about to come) was caught totally off-guard when i all of a sudden…
Ever since i have started teaching at Khushi, my own limits have been so so badly challenged that i have now almost become clueless to what i can do and what i can’t. I am so numbed and overwhelmed by the nature of the challenge that i have before me that all i can do…
I had promised myself that i will not write on the things i am experiencing @Khushi until i get out of the cynical phase i am currently in. However, what happened today is something i must articulate. So here it goes: Today wasn’t a really hectic day at Khushi, compared to some totally chaotic days…
