0·13 Oct 2026·on Which second languages does Mount Banyan offer if a child joins in class 4?

I am also looking for this information but for Urdu. My son is 5, next year Class 1, we are in Abids. I am trying to find schools where Urdu is there as second language, because at home we speak Urdu and I can help him in that. If you find out whether Mount Banyan has Urdu please tell here.

0·6 Sept 2026·on My school day starts at 7.30, so I'm up at 5. Now my toddler is too

My son also woke very early when he was small, because my husband leaves for the shop early and the door makes noise. We tried putting him to sleep later at night, it didn't help. Only after age 3 he started sleeping longer by himself.

1·17 Aug 2026·on Tailor near Kondapur who will stitch soft cotton baby clothes from old saris?

My husband has a cloth shop in Abids, so I know this problem. Old saris are the softest, but check the border, zari borders scratch. Cut them off before you give. For new fabric you can buy mulmul by the metre, it is cheap and very soft after one wash.

3·21 Jun 2026·on Should I talk to my son in English at home when my own English is not very good?

This gives me confidence. I was worried I was teaching him my mistakes. We will continue the phonics and talk in Urdu like before. Maybe English picture books at night also.

0·5 May 2026·on Taking my daughter on her first Old City food walk. Where would you start?

Start near the Charminar side after 6, it is cooler and the lanes get lively then. Irani chai and Osmania biscuits first, then walk towards the bangle market and eat small things on the way. Keep it short for a child, two hours is enough. Too much walking and they get cranky. My son lasts one hour only.
