Learning to Dream Big and Start Small – Reflection on Highway to Swades - Shreya Tiwari

Reflections on Highway to Swades

Today’s reading session with Jugjiv Sir was really insightful. While reading Highway to Swades by Bhairavi Jani, I learned about Rewaz Chhetri and how he started Northeast Taxis despite the limited business opportunities in his area.

This session made me realise we shouldn’t wait for perfect opportunities to do something meaningful. We can start small, work hard, and gradually achieve our goals. It also taught me to believe in my ideas and never give up easily.

Finding Joy and Learning from Everyday Experiences – My Family and Other Animals - Gaurav Singh

Reading Reflection – My Family and Other Animals

Today’s reading session with Brinda Ghosh Ma’am was really interesting. While reading My Family and Other Animals by Gerald Durrell, I learned about the preparations for a family party and some unexpected incidents that occurred during the day.

This reading made me realise that even ordinary daily experiences can become interesting when we observe them carefully. I also learned to stay patient when unexpected situations arise and handle them with a positive attitude. The author’s humorous way of describing small incidents made the reading enjoyable and helped me understand the importance of observation and creativity.

Overall, it was an enriching reading experience that encouraged me to observe the world around me and learn from everyday life.
