Today Kunal asked me to go to the toilet. Usually the class rule does not allow going to the toilet during instruction but when kids say 'didi zor se aayi hai' , I let them go. Well I am the trusting kinds ;).
Right before Kunal asked , I had seen his brother outside the door. As soon as Kunal said zor se aayi hai , kids prompted me saying 'Kunal bhai ke pas jaa raha'
The rest of the coversation :
Didi : Kunal are you telling a lie . Jhooth?
Kunal : Nai didi. No jhooth.
Didi : Kunal you are going to the toilet and not to your brother. Bhai ?
Kunal : No didi. Toilet.
Class : Nai didi jhooth bol raha. I see the brother outside running away.
And then I do what I do most of the times. Trust.
Didi : Kunal go to the toilet and come back quickly. ( I acted the quickly part)
Kunal : Yes didi.
One hour later.
I am called for an important work. I ask the kids to work quietly. As I come back I hear a couple of kids shouting. I come back and ask who was shouting.
The class: (as usual) didi yeh -- nai didi woh.
Didi : Apne ap, on your own stand up and tell me who was shouting.
No one gets up.Again did yeh didi woh.
Didi : Tell me the truth. Sach bolo.
Kunal gets up. The only kid to stand. And though he was talking when I entered I am sure he wasnt the one shouting. I knew Sahil and Arbaz were and when Kunal stood up there were 10 more who stood up including the both of them.
My trusting paid off. That is why I love kids. They tend to respect human elements much more than adults.
Thanks Kunal. You inspired me to trust people, few people do that.
Love
Didi.
