Young Adult speaks - Day 1 of SSRVM school

I could not believe how different school in India would really be!

First off the obvious is that we have to wear specific school clothes and shoes even to the extent of a school belt and socks! Another different thing was every day before class we have prayers (I knew all of them thanks to mom and Saksham) and Sudarshan Kriya. Sudarshann Kriya is basically breathing exercise. I found the way it was preformed quite interesting. Today, I made lots of friends. I met a nice boy named Atharva. He told me lot about the school and introduced me to all his friends and I ended up with two more friends! Like me he came from America (Michigan) and this is his second year at Shri Shri Ravishankar so I guess its not that bad after all.

Classes are similar to America only the teachers come to our home classroom. Speaking of teachers I met all my teachers today and they gave us a short speech on what their teaching expectations are and so on. My class teacher (teaching English) is really funny and cool, and he has a guitar which he played for us! 

We also met the Taekwondo teacher and he was also funny. He asked what we did over holidays and I said I came here from America and he didn't seem surprised. The same with my other teachers....

So thats how i spent my half-day at school
