This one is a school's room at a village called Gangapura near Kolar.

I wonder what all those children learn..!!

If you observe, the writing on the black board on the wall is full of Kannada Grammar, "OttaksharagaLu"....nice one Srik, the rural kids are far better than our urban ones, they learn to live; our kids learn to exist.

These walls hold the message of tomorrow... a tomorrow where everything will be just right. Young minds, big dreams, energy, zest, verve... to prove to the world and to ourselves... we are the best!

The pride to say: I am India!

Thoughtful post, very thoughtful... better than photos of birds and bees.

@Anand Balaji: What a lovely thought, Yes. They are India's future....Who knows, there might sit future Abdul Kalams, future Kalpana Chawlas....!!

I happened to visit this school through an NGO and was amazed to find such scriptures all over.

In my school also, there used to be similar atmosphere, yes, that was also a Govt. primary school too.

Live and Exist....the two have a world of difference between them...I would anyday go back to rural India.

@Vani: I meant who cares if one lives or if one exists!!
Those who are 'living' want to lead a fast life and those who are existing, want to live...and soo on.

From what little I know of you I can confidently say that your school hasn't failed, for it has churned out a fine, intelligent, witty, caring young man.

@Anand Balaji: ooops!!
My pleasure when some one praises my teachers. I am fortunate to have studied under some good teachers of my era, my father being one of them.

Anand, I humbly take your complement to motivate me at times when needed. Thanks dear.
