As online classes continue Anjali is finding new ways to cope with the classes. She moves from room to room, depending on her mood I guess. At times she loses connectivity thanks to a power cut or something and there's a big hurry to go out into the front yard and connect through the phone. There are times when she has some tests and she wakes up really early to study. It's been a very interesting period indeed.

The children have found ways of course to beat this online ennui. They have made several groups on WhatApp and connect on zoom calls every now and then to simply chat and catch up or on occasion discuss some lesson. A few of her cousins and friends join up on this fun online game called Scribbl.

| All ears - in her room |
She has also made frequent sessions with her Satish mama over zoom where he teaches her statistics or some subject that she prefers to learn from him. My domain of expertise as far as she is concerned seems to be English and Telugu. Of course, once in a while, I am also hauled in to read history along with her.

Now the school has initiated clubs and she is part of the literary club and has some activity there too. Not to forget that now Physical Training classes have also begun where the PT sir runs them through exercises. If that was not enough, she found some videos online for exercises and does those every other day. A full day if anything.

I asked her if this constant activity, exams, was not getting to her or getting boring.
'Not at all,' said she. 'I love school and I love studying.' Hmmm.
