hate it or love it: part 2

Still at Pigeonhole?

Filed under: “Why don’t you stay at my place tonight in Batla House?” said Syed Hasan, my new classmate in Jamia University . The question got me in a fix. It was 10.30 already and traveling now would mean two more hours of despair and another series of scolds from my parents. My father has been much disciplined all through his life. A conformist, but emotional to an extent where...

From SAT Prompt to Book Project

Following a class of strategizing and writing SAT essays, I began Monday's class with a warm-up that asked students to identify the most effective and most challenging elements of executing a timed writing.

Untidiness and Reading

My house is NEVER tidy. I don't know how other people manage to keep their houses tidy and have jobs, children, do courses, live life. If I were to keep my house tidy, and my washing and ironing all done, I would be working ALL the time. The thing is though, it feels like I DO work all the time, so where am I going wrong?? The best I ever manage is "not-filthy" (and I'm pretty sure there...
