What a fun time! I hope you had, and I like Rik's idea but what would they do without the internet!?

You know, thinking back, it did go pretty smoothly for a 'first time'... and I do have Sudarshan to thank for that... a LOT!<br /><br />I am getting some really nice and interesting ideas too - like Rik, our Dutch friend suggesting that now I try some reverse osmosis too - by taking 20 'bored city kids' for a trip to a village...<br /><br />@Carrie - hey Carrie, your words really made me happy..honestly.

Interesting insights about lives revolving around family and community for rural children as opposed to the individualization of urban kids.

Besides the article capuring the experience in all its rawness and excitement, what it has also done is to give these bunch of kids a beautiful memory for life....ofcourse one hopes that they will have many more...but as Sudarshan puts it the "first one always stays"....Kudos to you.Sreejahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16027245605732264079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7988532955719495588.post-60332726277860027592011-05-20T10:54:29.040+05:302011-05-20T10:54:29.040+05:30The 'Zor se lagi hai' is a bumper hit...

The comparison between urban and rural- from a child's perspective is indeed interesting!<br />Brought back nostalgic memories of my experience with street kids in Kolkata's sealdah station. All the best for future bravery.... :-)Kailash Iyernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7988532955719495588.post-25713630535900978152011-05-20T10:53:23.502+05:302011-05-20T10:53:23.502+05:30:)

Think it brings out the original in you - keep it flowing. <br />I hope you too take time to read it sometime independentaly - all your posts - will reveal a very unseen dimension of yours.<br />What I liked most was more about your churnings - about kids, about drinking water, about self doubts etc.<br />AS this and each earlier experience shows, it comes naturally to you - (of course only I know how exasperating you can be prior to taking the plunge into any thing hitherto unprecedented! :).<br />Thouigh you mention about the different perspectives about urban and rural kids, when I look back - this seems to happen to adults too all the time. If Only! - and starting with me.<br />Love the way you have with words - and the best is perhaps you don't even realise this. Keep this space as original as it is presently. ithink the secret is the fact that here you write for yourself primarily.<br />Can yo do some thing for the Bhanpura kids too? I mean some writing in Hindi - simple, direct, frmo the heart, sharing with them the learning, experience and happyness you got - will be a great tribute and pleasure for them too.<br />And yes, let me say this - it will be "a once in life time experience" because there never will be a second time like this, there will be many more visits and fun times, but the first time will not come back, it can be built on, but not repeated - and so hold it tight and hard<br />Three cheers for youSudarshanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01856307897172912145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7988532955719495588.post-75189602097152583452011-05-19T17:29:28.076+05:302011-05-19T17:29:28.076+05:30Would love to travel together...
