...to question why
she needs permission
to answer nature
...to wonder aloud
why 'adults' often
discuss kids' issues
without consulting them
...to inform 'leaders'
that their needs
are critical too

…Hindus, Muslims, Christians, boys and girls", were the heart warming words of Afreen Sultana, a promising class IX student of a government aided English medium school in Matadahalli, R.T. Nagar. A fornight ago, it all began as a question on the difference between a nest and a cage with Firdaus (of class VII in the Urdu medium government school nearby).
