Just as lively, Just as fulfilling

A day in evergreen TESL journey, 10 Dec, 2018 It was a bright sunny day, energetic enough to plan and deliver a lesson to the tenth grade learners of Government CoEd school Karampura in Delhi. At the very initial phase of lesson - The printed picture I presented to them really helped me in contextualising the language, while I was playing the audio dialouge. I then initiated a cue-response drill where, learners were seeing a picture of two persons conversing with each other while having some cake and hence they were able to instantly guess and speak what probable talking there could be between the two persons. At that moment I could feel by observing them that how so involved learners were while able to feel that exposure of language awareness to them. Some learners even wanted to feel that exposure more, and it was seeming like a validation to the initial timings being spent with the learners. While practising this structural-situational teaching, where I presented the tar

Bumpy floor, Divers galore

Parrying with the majestic sights of Radha beach at Havelock within 30 minutes format won't have passed muster unless the need of the last moment ushered us to the exotic, like anyother place at Havelock, for Scuba diving. The moment after the consent form signed in, in no time did all put their strips on, wore off binges and buckled up for a would-be-diver spirit. Divers whooped as they plunged into the shallow of the sea. That was the site where those 45 minutes' session for underdiving headed, ofwhich first 15-20 minutes were reserved for training, enough to ground oneself up while diving. I'd believed it to be a complicated one but turns out as an easy peasy task anyone could afford to.Yea, exceptions always come in way. Stay away high BP owners, heart disease roomers and their neighbours. And there I saw the sea in gross by the shallows, all blazing in its clear b'ful blue charm that seemed to have voiced -  I'm all defic you'd have ever seen in your l

A Stray Foray

 She put my PogoniP on the grass, I mean that book for some time being, placed the bag under it, rolled the cloth aside and kept arranging until a beautiful contented arrangement got casted about. The sky outcasting fogclouds and sunshine, overall a nice cold cosy weather. Epitomizing the day, perfect perfect for a Foray!    In the helm of this prodigious landmark, in this weekend together, where weather appeared cold, but such a nice warm in experience that I hadn't been since months. The prolouge? Well it's not until when you are standing in a long queue getting close to ticket counter where people start asking you to buy them tickets too, tho in return of some money at the points, that you think you're mirroring for humanity but actually corrupting honesty . And about entering the main gate, which welcomes you a prodigious view of the monument? It quite nicely underpins your mind off blockades, unraveling the brook of serenity and some latent discovery at a si

Beholding over

-
Image
After the sulliness of some tedious time spent continuous, peeved we came across something and beholded that ravishing site. The first impression? Was whooping, which eventually stepped up the astonishment in the limited overs format. That subtle encounter eventually grew into something more substantial in period of seconds. The realm we were into signalled the ascendency of nastiness into the blissness. Her glimpse owe a finite upliftment of mood..Wherefrom she comes nobody knows, but enchants the path in between to some. Contented, lively and beguiling sitting on the window, the insence of boldness that appeared of that ravishing butterfly was flawless. Well that are such kind of wee moments that sometimes make one rev up.

The sea sunset

That was the sunset of Miramar Beach, Goa. Some were posing at the camera, some were looking at the vast infinity of the sea. Some were busy in swimming, some making the castles out of sand and some were just walking at the seashore. As I was standing looking at the the vast infinity of the sea, I decided to picture the moment encapsulating these many colors of cherishing the nature. I barely could resist myself to see the beauty of serene vastness endlessly. Surely the propensity to live such beauty continuously is limitless. But the nature sometimes sheds it's such incessant beauty one could hardly resist over to get the incense of the moment like I  and the people around were indulging in to get. And that incense better be a memory or a keepsake. Forgetting all the abhoration and bad memoirs, cherishing the present moment, they looked at the horizon of Arabian sea. In wake to left their creativity, two lads were building a castle hoping that would remain lately till a high wa

The Big Balloon Seller

-
Incessant throughout the day he works, though with some two- three breaks, I wonder what positively do the people meddle in his life so that one day he can fly with enough fruits of his hardwork to serve his afterlife? I guess, till the lifetime. Yeah? Well that was the moment the question got stuck in my mind and some hues reconciled me, that I decided to capture him. In the helm of his own, sauntering and swaying, around the streets of Chandni Chowk, in blazing sunshine of winters, contented with his big balloon selling job which is enough to salve his thirst and hunger a day. With the astound beauty of such people, I was astonished not only with the hardwork such people do all day long but also they are responsible of their own working and feeding themselves as compared to those who hopelessly begs on the streets which unfolds a very derogatory hue in me and in majority of the population ofcourse. To some people he may be a figure to shrug off but this boorish seller exhibited a
