What do you do in your happiness classes?
Does the happiness class make you happy?
There are no books, no homework, so I am very happy. We sit, talk and get to know each other. These classes should be a little longer.
What else can schools do to make children happy?
Our school should also have facilities where every child can play the sports or games they want. We have a few facilities though.
Have you noticed a change after the classes began?
It’s been only a week, what can I say? But not only me, everyone who attends the classes is happy, there is no tension. I myself have learnt things like ‘gratitude’, now I say ‘thank you’ to all those who help me, including my parents. In the story today, I learnt ‘Jo bhi karo man lagaake karo (Do all you do with interest)’.
What are the other things that make you happy, and those that make you sad?
I am happiest playing football. I also enjoy the English class I go to after school, I have learnt a lot there. Apart from that, it is fun fighting with my elder sister at home. Unlike her, whenever our mother is unwell, I make the rotis. I also love eating mutton. My father works as a driver so his timings vary, but spending time with him is also fun. I will be the happiest if I can get admission to Pratibha Vidyalaya now. I want to become an Army commander.
When I study hard and score less marks, I become sad. But I have learnt in the happiness class that being sad is not going to improve my scores.
