From the 14th of March which is when the Telangana government closed down schools, Anjali has been home. Then the 21-day lockdown and she finally took her foot off the studies and allowed herself to watch some shows and stuff.
Yesterday her school began online classes and she was happy to be back in a virtual classroom with her pals. They are a serious lot, always asking academic questions even over phone. She rounds off her day with a book to read which is nice and has identified books to read. She finished the Diary of Anne Frank and another book called Home to Roost which I intend to read as well.
Yesterday she decided that she would make breakfast. She did some research on YouTube, called her aunt. She loves the element of surprise and goes to great lengths to preserve the drama. This morning we were not allowed into the kitchen until the dish was presented - egg noodles - complete with a dash of sauce. And it was really nice, perfectly done, correct amount of salt etc. I'd have burned, bashed it up first time.
Then she has taken on her own chores from yesterday. Jhaadu-pocha on alternate days she said and took it on. Today she ran the washing machine.
When did she grow up so much? I need to get a quiet moment and do an interview with her one of these days.
