I took triplets to anganwadi today. It looked
like a preschool of sorts, with around 10 kids attending. Parents are allowed
to sit with them if needed, and I saw a child taking his first look at school
sitting on his grandmother’s lap. Teacher took the weights of the kids and
tried to make them say ‘Good morning’ and tried to make them sit in the small
chairs. But they were a highly energized bunch, and ran to the many toy
scooters and other play equipment arranged at the back. I left them there, and
went to pick them up at noon time (Full day class from Tomorrow only). They
were absolutely thrilled- Raman bubbling with what all happened at the school,
Kutty role-playing as teacher, Balu singing the new rhyme they learned- it goes
like “veedu nalla veedu, njan
piranna veedu, ammayund veettil, ammayaanu daivam” (House, the fine house where I was
born, where my mother resides, my mother is my God). It seems like they had a
wonderful time. :D
