Why I Dared to Author a Book

I am not much of a writer and don’t consider myself to be in the category of intellectuals either. I am an ordinary person with a middle class background and I see the world around me with the eyes of a common person. A small playschool that I started 25 years back is now an international school. What makes my school different? I consider my students more as little human beings and understand that they have every emotion that an adult has. What they lack is the freedom to express some of these emotions. In my school, I make it a point to give them plenty of opportunities to express themselves. The result? A Happy bunch of kids. My students are considered to be the most cheerful and happy lot. They are calm in nature, good at heart and can identify the good and the bad. And this I believe is education.

I was born into a family and a generation that believed that it is a curse to not have a boy in the family. In spite of this I enjoyed every bit of being a woman right from my childhood. Bearing my 2 children in my womb was probably the most precious experience in life. I loved every moment of my pregnancy. I enjoyed their movements and wished pregnancy was more than nine months. I fondly recall every moment of their childhood , the excitement of their milestones and the joy of watching them grow. This bond that I built with my children I believe is strong enough to keep them connected to me for eternity.
