Life is Amazing..

As often it happens.. it takes a child to point out our life's most profound lessons.
It happened at a school in Chicago, students were asked to list out the seven wonders of the world. Most of the children with differences in order of ranking - Egypt's great pyramids, India's Taj Mahal, the Grand crayon in Arizona, Panama canal, the Empire state building, Statue of Liberty and Great wall of China.

As the teacher was gathering the lists from children. She noticed one quite child sitting in the corner deep in thought. She asked the child if she was having trouble with her list and needed any help.
The child replied, yes a little", I cannot makeup my mind science there are so many". The teacher approached her saying, " Well, read out your list.. maybe we can help".

The little girl hesitated for a while, then read, I think the seven wonders of the world are:
To touch.. To taste.. To hear.. To See (she hesitated a little and then added) To feel.. To Laugh and To Love..
After this the whole classroom was so very quite for sometime..

Really hats off to that child..

Warmly

The Journey began with अंतराल/Antral

The inception of Antral/अंतराल took place when few people, those who love to work with a vision to empower the disadvantaged children and self, came together. The word Antral means ‘the existing gap’ in our society. We at Antral, have a vision to bridge this gap by creating an open platform which offers alternative education to the not-so-privileged children. The idea is to give each child a space where one can explore, identify his/her potential and become an independent learner. Thus, we see good life skills based education, not only as the fundamental right of every child but, also as the most potent means of creating an equitable society.

Here at Antral we believe in "Simplifying every child's life so that the laws of universe would be simpler to you"
