This morning we were able to observe Morning Assembly (in Hindi) at 7:00am. It starts with attendance, a prayer/invocation, and the observation of two minutes of silence. Then the students recite a pledge, "India is my country and all Indians are my brothers and sisters". Next a student presents a thought for the day and another student shares one item from the day's newspaper. Then special items are shared such as today's introduction of Janna and me. The day's assembly then ends with the national anthem.
The grade 8 students in Ms. Sharma's 2nd period English class asked us to play "Guess the Question". They asked a question in Hindi and we had to try to figure out what they were asking in order to answer them. So they might be asking me, "What is your favorite color?" and I would answer "I have one brother and one sister". Of course there was plenty of laughter all around!
