Varsha was having her tests and when the turn to study hindi came ... she did not want to study. Our conversation went something like this:
V : Why should I study hindi?
Me: I don't know ..you tell me
V: I am going to be a dancer, what use is hindi to me.
Me: hmm..
V : Oh! When I am teaching children if they know only hindi then what will I do?
Me: Silence.
V : I will study hindi so I can talk to the children easily.
She pulled her books and we went about our work. Once again a learning for me: her goal.. her way !
One thought: if she had decided that hindi was not useful what would I have done? Would I have left it at that or would I have found a way to get to my objective. Well! there is always a next time :-)
