This Christmas our schools organized a program to celebrate the love of God. Our schools in Delhi had a fun time of songs, dance, food and gifts. In Delhi, the schools have been permitted to operate whereas the schools in Pune are still under restriction from the state government and not allowed to open. So the teacher and staff of the Pune school packed a gift and candies for each student, along with a food package for their family.
Cricket is one of the most popular sports in India. In the cities in India, most open grounds, parks, lanes and by-lanes become playing field. On any given day a visitor would be sure to come across an open field with hoards of children playing cricket. As a rule however, you would find this only during the early evening of a regular weekday. During the day, it is generally the children with no school to go to who would be playing cricket in these fields or parks.

When he asks for more questions he realizes the mood has soured in the room.
