Weekend in Black and White 2014 : 2

Children playing after school is always a pleasant sight. It's their own way to unwind, destress and relax after school hours, which are sometimes really stressful.

Diwali  vacation is over, and schools have re-opened.  This weekend, Krrish and I spent all day completing his vacation homework  which was some alphabet writing, and identifying some alphabets and sticking pictures of  things beginning with the respective alphabets.

We made this scrapbook for the alphabets and the pictures and decorated it.

After School

Seeing these kids returning home from school reminded me of my school days.
I and my sister would look forward to eating ragda pattice outside school, at a hawker's cart. The 2 rupees mom gave us everyday was meant for snacks from the school canteen, but we used to eat out of one rupee in the canteen, and then eat imli(tamarind) and ragda pattice after school. This was our big secret that we would never tell mom.
What does 'After School' remind you of? Did you head home straight after school?

Also, there is a crowd of parents bringing kids to school and then take their kids home.
Parking here results in traffic jams.
