NG:
Ms. Nikita Galphate & AK: Archana Koratkar
AK: Which
classes do you teach and the method that you use to teach them?
NG: I
majorly teach the Pre Primary classes, Class V & VI. I always try to
develop the imagination and concept of the lesson which I would start next
among the students. In the junior classes, we have a camera called
'snappy' which shows pictures on the board and then I discuss with the students
what is shown on the board. I always try to develop the curiosity and interest
of the students in the chapter before I start it.
AK: How
is your weekly published?
NG: The
whole weekly of the school is published by me. It is sent quarterly. The
students also help me in publishing it.
AK: What
are your hobbies?
NG: My
best hobby is to listen to music, spend time with my children. I also like art
and craft, sketching. I don't like cooking.
AK: What
did you want to learn more but you couldn't, due to lack of time?
NG: I
always wanted to learn music. I have great interest in singing so I want to
learn it.
NG: What do
your parents do and what do you enjoy?
AK: Ma'am,
my father is a veterinary doctor and my mother is a housewife. Now he is posted
at Bijapur which is half an hour far from Bali. I enjoy with my junior
friends during my bus journey.
AK: How do
you spend your day on Sundays?
NK: Mostly,
I spent the day with my family. I have a 'me' time in which I see movies,
mainly Marathi since I am a Maharashtrian. We go to theaters to see every new
movie which are interesting releases. We have a discussion time where we
discuss everyone's issues and try to find solution to the issues.
AK: What
difference do you see in this school?
NG: This
beautiful place is set up in a rural area but it is providing 'n' numbers of
facilities for the overall development of rural students and I like it very
much. Here, the environment is very silent, children have less distractions. We
have the setup of our school in an urban area so students are distracted by
malls, theaters etc. But here, children participate more in activities because
they are not distracted.

important for a child's development which I found at The Fabindia School, Bali.
I think that a person keeps learning throughout his/her life- Ms. Juhi Mehta/
