Abstract

Writing works in two ways; either you write what you feel or you start feeling what you write. I experienced both these dynamics when I penned my journey of being an Associate with the Azim Premji Foundation. I am a product of convent schooling, a problematic educational mechanism of high cut-offs which gave me an entry to Miranda House, New Delhi, and then to the Azim Premji University, Bengaluru. I always knew that I would become a social worker, having grown up watching my parents tutor the children of domestic workers. I, too, taught a few children during my years as an undergraduate student. But the experience was not deep enough to help me crack the philosophy of educating them in a holistic or effective manner.
