Ash has a new tuition teacher since last Friday to engage him for an hour in the evenings. An engineering student, he comes to our place soon after his classes and the long ride home. He is yet to do it the way we want - goading/helping him to do his homework, and prepare him for the almost daily tests and so on - but I hope we can make use of his skills especially in teaching Tamil, which I do with difficulty right now.
Hakim, who we hear is a bright student, belongs to a family that is hard-up thanks to a drunkard father and an ailing mother. The tuitions at our place and the ones he takes in his shack for other kids supplement the family income or takes care of his college fees.
We have advised him to be stern with Ash or else he would drive him up the wall like he does to me.
Mira, who is utterly bored of being at home the whole day (she has been advised 2 weeks' rest), doesnt buy my theory that H is a teacher. "He doesnt look like sir, he looks like a chetta (elder bro)," she tells me.
