“Tomorrow, our last session, is going to have the most exciting activity of all!” I announced, at the end of today’s session. “Ooh! What is it?” “What are we going to do?” “What is the activity for tomorrow?” “I’ll tell you tomorrow!” I said, smiling. “So, how do you feel?” I expected them to say […]

It was a long (yet brief) detailed explanation of different aspects of the process. […]

Apricots at Midnight

January 25, 2013 by Varsha Seshan Leave a Comment

Many would say that Apricots at Midnight is an outdated book: old-fashioned and preachy. Yet, the simple childlike stories made it altogether loveable. Imagine a patchwork quilt, in which each little bit of cloth has a story to tell. I wish I had one! Apricots at Midnight has the sense of a collection of stories, united by this […]
