Beautiful right.... the world has enough light but needs warmth. Many moons back I remember a conversation with Jayeshbhai. And we were talking about the residential schools there. Most of us in the middle class grow up thinking education is going to be our ticket to better life opportunities. And I was pressing the point on academic achievement or creating that road map or all the girls. And he was so clear that academic achievements is important but not at the cost of environment/warmth/daily practices. The sense of safety. It took me a while but I am also growing up to understand that. Can you believe when impact assessments of organizations (educational/non-profit) happen, the fundamental aspect of well being is not considered.

Indeed. :) The word "education" came from "educare" that means "to bring forth means a hidden wholeness in another person". :)
