0·18 Sept 2026·on I run a hostel for students. Now my son wants to stay in his college hostel

You'd know better than anyone what a hostel day looks like for a boy his age. What do the boys staying with you say about it? They might tell you more than they'd tell their own parents.

1·10 Sept 2026·on Left her sleep cloth at a restaurant on Tuesday. Two nights of chaos so far

Not yet. One of them went through the wash with our clothes, but nobody slept with it. We'll try it under a pillow tonight.

2·16 Jul 2026·on How much games time do the middle classes get at SR Digi School, Vanasthalipuram?

Teacher here, different school. From the staff side, games periods are the first thing borrowed when a syllabus runs late, so the timetable on paper doesn't always match what happens in a term. When you visit, ask two things: how many games periods class 8 gets in a week, and whether those get used for other subjects in exam months. The answer to the second one tells you more 🙂

1·5 May 2026·on Toddler has started putting things in the dustbin. The TV remote went in yesterday

A basket of her own is a nice idea. She'll probably put the remote in that too, but at least we'll know where to look.
