The Surprise at Gyan Bodh

As Arnab has given you a brief introduction of what Gyan Bodh is, allow me to introduce ourselves. I am Sunanda, and I’ve been teaching at Gyan Bodh from a year now, and in the last semester, I’ve worked as the Assistant Project Lead. I blab about how much I like to teach the kids here, so one fine day these friends of mine – Rohit, Ankita, Arnab and Aniroodh ask if they could accompany me to Gyan Bodh, along with their guitars and maybe teach the kids a tune or so. I thought it would be a good idea to let the kids have some respite from the daily grind, and anyway their means of entertainment are rather scant. So we went. I had warned them about the language barrier- even the kids who study in English medium school would have difficulty speaking it and understanding the accents (something that we’re working on very hard to improve). So after the initial hiccoughs, we all did end up having a good time, and I’ve been flooded with requests to bring the ‘guitar waale bhaiya aur didi’ back, and to make music lessons a regular feature at GB. I don’t know if I’ll be able to mange that , or the many things I’ve planned for these fertile minds in the one short sem I’m left with. But with more people showing interest, I’ve hopes that someone will.
