A few weekends ago, I joined a short morning trip to Rashtrapati Bhavan, the President's home. When Britain moved the capital of India from Calcutta to Delhi in 1911, Edward Luytens was commissioned to design the building. Of course, after independence, it transferred to the new Indian government, and has housed the President (not to be confused with the Prime Minister, who is the head of government here) ever since.

Reach Out

School year is starting to feel close to finishing. Here are a few shots from the last Reach Out sessions we did this year. Across the street from our school is a small informal housing settlement with thousands of people living there. For Wednesdays from October to April, a group of our students invited 20 students from the settlement onto our campus for games, activities, and brief lessons. It was always tons of fun and great cultural interaction. We trick-or-treated, made Christmas rangolis (rice designs), played basketball, danced the Macarena, and many more fun activities. Here are some of our friends from across the street.
