A telepathic indication

On one occasion, I went to Bombay for an assignment which could have international business possibilities. Yet, the moment I reached Bombay, I was overwhelmed by some strange feelings of some cataclysmic happenings. My sleep was disturbed. Moreover, I would feel hot in an AC room. I dropped everything and rushed home.

When I reached home, I found that Varuna had been admitted in a village English medium school. This school had been started by a man who had earlier been a cleaner in Bombay airport. He had gone to the gulf and started a restaurant. The money exchange rate was 1:13. Gulf earning persons are seen as affluent and banks give them full support.

He had started an English medium school. The children in the school were from the village rich houses. They had no English. The owner himself was quite an illiterate in English.

Into this school was admitted Varuna. In fact, the district deputy police ‘officer’ (DySP) did come into the picture to pressurise me to put her into this school.  He did not meet me personally. As for the school, it was a fantastic chance for them. For, in Varuna’s class over the years, many of her classmates developed into good English standards. Arriving at good reading habits, through Enid Blyton and the other children’s books.
