Learning Mela in nearby govt school started with
Apprehensions – What stalls? How will I? What about the language? What age? Maybe I can’t!
Then it was about stimulation – Describing stall? Imagining, planning, talking, teaming up, preparing, wondering – what if? What all? Then? How else?.
And then began preparation – Planning, Thinking, Discussing, Collecting, Processing,
And finally the Action – Play, Joy, Sharing, Exchange, Receiving, Living, Teaching, Learning, Smiling, Curiosity, Involvement, Trying,
And finally reflection and expression with the discovery
“I did not know that I can handle crowd, I discovered that I was flexible, I could manage quick learning, I was not nervous, I can communicate without knowing the language, and so on.”
