Alright.
The kids are getting cuter by the day.

They are less retarded, less blur, more open, more spontaneous, more vocal, more not-shy, more hyper, more able to understand what I want them to know.

But still as babyish, still got no concept of time, no sense of urgency, no sense of how to behave, no self-discipline, no self-control.

Saw this along the corridor towards the canteen.

Got me thinking. And for a slight moment, I really felt important.

One Hundred Years From Now

One hundred years from now
It won't matter
What kind of car I drove
What kind of house I lived in
How much money I had in the bank
Nor what my clothes looked like

Enrolment: 30

English: 9 failed
Math: 6 failed (out of which, 3 are NOT in my Math class)

Good enough for me right now.
When you've seen 16 out of 29 fail an exam, nothing is a big deal anymore.
