12/10/09: No class. Family engagements.
14/10/09: No Shrikant. I'm not supposed to go alone!
15/10/09: My exam. No class.
Diwali vacation!
23/10/09: Shrikant alone! Without telling me! x-( And I kept thinking that I should not wake him up since he was working till midnight the previous day!!
24/10/09: Krunal. Sham, Sheetal, Sarika. Sheetal + Sarika = secret discussions. Sham got bored. Ajay came and went. He's busy today. His sister's going back to her in laws.
25/10/09: No class. Office office.
Long vacation. Sad things around.

13/10/09: Election day! No class in the morning. Rain.
Class from 6pm to 7pm. Guess where?! BC badi court!! Finally! Ajay, Sarika, Sheetal, Karishma, Vidya, all are present! Sarika played well. And Ajay, of course. Sheetal and Karishma were at their best misbehaviour! Vidya, as usual, got an inferiority complex, since she couldn't play as nicely as others. Encouraged her max.
As a by product of this class, Shrikant too, revised his game. :)

10/10/09: Krunal and Shrikant and Nivedita. In short, all except me. :-( I have exams. So this class is a reproduction of the details provided by Krunal, which I have nicely forgotten by 'now'.
Kids were busy exploring Nivedita and Krunal's cellphones. Karishma called me. Ajay called up his sister and actually had a talk. She's to come home for Diwali! Karishma also called up some unknown number and was talking arbit things for quite some time. Shady.
Ajay's going to go to 'work'. Where his elder brother works. A mobile shop in front of Dagadu Sheth Ganapati temple.
Shrikant dropped Raj to school and joined all at BC later. Vijay not well.
P.S.: I joined Krunal at Eklavya in the afternoon, after my exam. Interesting visit! Thoroughly enjoyed with the kids!
11/10/09: Sunday. Krunal alone. So this class is again a reproduction of what Krunal told me later, coupled with my brain's capacity to forget.
Sambhaji Park, as promised. They wanted to eat something on their way back, but at nice good looking hotels... :) So all had breakfast (= misalpaav, :-)) at some hotel on J. M. road. Krunal had a tough time trying to refrain kids from washing hands in plates and from throwing tissue papers around!
Then, while walking back (no auto due to the new one-way system), Krunal took them to the ATM! They were so excited to see a machine throw up those paper pieces which mean most to the whole of mankind! He let them operate it too. I like it when they are exposed to new technology. Then they all wanted Krunal's ATM card so that they could have all the money they wanted! He, obviously, explained the impossibility of the situation! :)
And finally, he got them back to Patil Estate on foot! B-)

25/10/09: No class. Office office.
Long vacation. Sad things around.
07/11/09: ClassesInBrief. Had planned to give a holiday due to some family engagements. But when Nivedita called me from Patil Estate saying "Kids are asking about you...", I had to go! :) Their exams are on. All except Reshma and Swati were present.
Revised the "04/10/09" class. Then studied rationals and irrationals and reals. Studied the set theoretic resemblance between 'our classroom, Patil Estate, Pune' and 'Natural numbers, Whole numbers, Rational numbers'. :-)
Have been meeting Karishma's mom on and off. Her hand pains properly. :-| Realised that one can only take the horse to the lake...
P.S. : Girish came!

11/10/09: At SambhajiPark! Thought of taking these children to the park too! :) As usual, had loads of fun.
And yeah, the first thing kids told me on this day was, "Didii, we had so much fun yesterday!" Yesterday = Class by Krunal = B-).
Diwali vacation!
24/10/09: Krunal. I joined post 6pm. 2-3 were busy solving their English question paper. Others were least bothered. We let them be. No Swati. :-/

10/10/09: Krunal alone. Patil Estate classroom's not avalable. But nothing deters Mr. KD! Class in the small hall near Ambedkar School!
They solved some Math problems. 'Finding the next term of a sequence', to be presice. Kids enjoyed doing it! Akshay would always be the first one to get the formula right.
Krunal's a very good teacher! No arguments!
