I died sometime last year. In my previous life, I was several things, all of which were boring. I worked as a Technology and then Marketing Consultant, advising people on why, what and how to do things – all pretty obvious things. And then, one day I died. But I have mentioned that already.

Unfortunately, or fortunately, it does not end there. I was reborn.

In this new life, I am a Teach for India Fellow. What does that mean? I moved to a new city (that is not really a city!) and my mornings are spent with thirty 7-year olds. And two frogs. Every other waking moment is spent planning for the 5 hours I spend with them.

In other words, I teach thirty second grade children (& two frogs) at Rashmi English Medium School in Pune, a low income private school. If you thought its easy, think again. At present, my life is as unpredictable and new as it can be. If there is one thing I know for sure, it is that, there will be  100% attendance from the frogs and that they will sleep through all my classes, behind the dustbin. I let them be.

In this blog, I chronicle my rebirth, my first infant cry, my baby steps, my first tooth – oh come on! you know the drill – Come join me as I try to figure out what life is all about.
