It was an amazing experience, full of new learnings ...

On the morning of April 27, we arrived at the misty hill station of Kodaikanal. The serene landscapes and cool climate refreshed us instantly. We visited the famous Kodaikanal Lake, enjoyed cycling and boating, and explored breathtaking spots like the Guna Caves and the surrounding mountains. Nature was at its best, and we soaked in every view. In the evening, we gathered for a lively campfire, where music, dance, and laughter brought us all closer. We stayed the night in Kodaikanal, cherishing the warmth of friendship and the chill of the hills.

On Tuesday, we had a regional holiday for the boat race  The rest of the week went by in the usual rush of substitution duties. Teachers distributed the exam answer sheets  I wasn’t very satisfied with my students’ performance — most of them struggled mainly due to lack of time during the exam ...
