Sign of the Week

On our daily walk we try to vary our route so that we see different things. As you can imagine the variety of things to witness is endless and will be unveiled as the individual stories are written.

We also try and observe things that represent the values of the people we are living with. This leads us to the Sign of the Week that we witnessed a while ago.  We photographed it, but somehow in the process of transferring from Camera to Computer, renaming and filing in the relevant folder, it got lost.

So this morning we retraced our steps to recapture this icon of Indian culture.

Education is paramount for the people here and wherever we walk we see signs offering coaching in English or Hindi, tutoring in maths, how to be effective users of time (don’t think many people do this one) etc.










These all pale into insignificance compared to our sign below.

PS We can only assume that because education is important to the people, they expect their chickens to be educated as well!!

  2. When you fail an exam you get a chance to re-sit it almost immediately. These are called Arrears papers.
