  • pankhudidelhi wrote a new blog post: Class Update (18th Oct ’09)   9 months, 2 weeks ago

    Today was a fairly normal class. We had a fewer number of volunteers than usual since many of them had gone home for the Diwali weekend. The highlight of the class as far as the kids were concerned was Mrigayanka’s friend who fascinated them because he didn’t speak Hindi, and was strong enough to lift [...]

    With Pankhudi collection drive at IBM being over, we planned this Sunday for sorting of the stuff collected from various offices of IBM, in and around Delhi.

  • pankhudidelhi wrote a new blog post: Update : Sunday 16th August,’09   11 months, 2 weeks ago

    As the rain gods have arrived after such a long delay (arriving on “Indian Standard Time”, as is commonly, obviously, universally understood), the drenched weather, immediately after the Delhi’s hot weather, has brought about relief to people (and I hope to Indian farmers too) on the occasion of janmashtmi and independence day.
     
    Because of rains, the [...]
