I met one of my school friend earlier in the start of this month and he was mentioning about how he and his wife were trying to teach some kids from neighborhood but society people interfered saying rogue kids are entering society premises on excuse of class and causing trouble. They "suggested" the couple to rent a room somewhere outside and take classes there. Of course, this is outrageous to expect someone to take such an extra measure to actually do something good and in the end, they just left.

It was really sad to hear their part of story but I am really fortunate to have totally different set of people around me. I recently started working with TaxSpanner Team. Before joining them in Delhi, I was concerned about how I would be able to continue with work done till now with Pankhudi/पँखुडी. I was wondering if I could come down to Pune and continue working from here once I am all set with the team and working methodology. Ankur, Gora, Vivek and others readily agreed and I spent last two weeks of January here.

In library there was issue with earthing and computers had been down from quite some time. Thanks to Srikant, Padma and Pratiksha's(maybe I missed others name) effort we had proper working switch boards in library which were needed BIG time. Computer, Raspberry Pi(we have offline Wikipedia, Khan-academy videos, scratch and other resources on it, though use case is still very limited), Laptop, all were working just fine. Also, people "hosted" me so readily, provided all resources(office to work from, vehicles to commute, even pick and drop facility, lunches/dinners/snacks), that one feels right at home and carry on with the work/anything without any adaptation, Sooper it is(घन्यवाद बोला तो लोग मारेंगे). Hope to see you all again soon :)

Here are logs of activity going on in library while I was there
