Then Jhalak moved into her ‘teacher with a mission’ mode to discuss something totally radical – how to use memory techniques effectively. She promptly wrote an impromptu list of random items on the board and asked the children to memorize them. When asked a little later to recite the list in its entirety, the children naturally had some difficulty. Jhalak then proceeded to convince them how memory techniques could be a big help here. The children were excited, and needed no additional prodding for the next exercise.

But all good things come to an end. As the shadows lengthened, a quiz was held by Ankit to revise the earlier session. Those who answered correctly received toffees.

Finally things came to a close with the distribution of ‘Britannia Tiger Kreemz’ biscuits and ‘Parle Orange Bite’ toffees. Dr. Indraneel Mandal accompanied and motivated the student volunteers. Prof. Lokesh Upreti guided the volunteers in the conduct of the programme as the faculty coordinator of CSR Club - Parivartan.
