A TICKET TO A BETTER LIFE

As I departed from my hotel in central Mumbai, the glowing sun lit up the beautiful architecture of India’s richest city Imarvelled at the majestic Gateway of India and world-renowned Taj Mahal Palace Hotel Here and there, people bustledaround, ready to start their day But my time in Mumbai would not be spent in this vibrant and affluent city Instead, I was

headed for one of the largest slums on Earth Entering the slum was like stepping into a war zone Endless rows of crumblingshacks were crammed together amidst piles of rubbish and débris Here, the sweltering sun only served to intensify the stench

of raw sewage and to add hardship to already difficult lives I sighed in dismay as I watched children working on the streets.But fortunately, there was a ray of hope

A bright yellow school bus rumbled through the busy streets and parked itself beside a row of grubby, splintered shelters.Immediately, a group of barefoot children rushed and pushed aboard, chatting excitedly However, the children on this buswere not going anywhere While other buses were busy transporting people, this one took its passengers on a different kind of

journey It brought education to disadvantaged children So this is where I come in I’d signed up for a programme called

School on Wheels, which aims to improve literacy in impoverished areas Although I had volunteered in many disadvantaged

schools around India, teaching on a bus was a first for me! My new classroom was no larger than a hallway, but adequatelyequipped

with a blackboard and educational materials I warmly greeted my new students who had perched themselves on woodenbenches on either side of the bus

‘‘My name is Mina Kapoor,” I informed the wide-eyed faces before me, “I’m going to teach you how to read and write.” Ireferred to an alphabet poster which another volunteer had tacked to the wall and slowly began to introduce the symbols tothe children As I did so, they each attempted to copy down the letters onto slates on their laps However, as the lessonprogressed, they became increasingly distracted Without any previous schooling, these children simply didn’t know how tosit still But rather than enforcing discipline, I just took a deep breath and began to sing

The first time I did this, the children listened and watched in awe But by the end of my six-month stint, the class would joinin! To my pride, they had also learnt the basics of Hindu and English, and were now ready to enter a public school

On my last day, I felt incredibly emotional Although our time together was limited, I felt I had truly got to know mystudents, and sincerely hoped that I had made a difference in their lives Would they go on to enrol in school? And more

importantly, would they stay there and graduate? A quarter of the children who participate in the School on Wheels

programme progress into the public school system I looked at my class Of my 24 students, I realised that only eight mightreceive a life-changing education I knew I should have been glad, but I couldn’t help but feel that I could do so much more

As I pondered this, one of my students approached me with a shiny black pebble She placed it in my hands with a warmsmile “Thank you teacher,” she whispered

RETURN TO GUNNERSBURY

Mary got off the train at Gurmersbury station and walked up towards the road The suburban London summer hung over the

scene like an old familiar smell and memories made her tremble with recognition at every step It was many years since shehad been here

She walked along, and although she could not have pictured the road in her mind before, now she remembered each house:

a gatepost, the coloured glass in a front door, the lamp-post casting a lonely light on the step These houses, the 'older largerhouses' as she thought of them then, were surprisingly unchanged, in the heat of the afternoon, the remembered road had the

slightly threatening familiarity of a place in a dream when one thinks: I have been here, yet where is it and what is going to

happen? The colours too seemed like dream colours, not reflecting light, as if they were bright colours seen in darkness And

the streets were empty as in a dream

Mary turned a corner and for a moment did not recognize the scene at all Houses had disappeared Tall blocks of flats and

huge garages had taken their place Now there were a few cars, but still nobody walking on

the pavements Mary frowned and thought with a sudden surprised pain, perhaps our house too will have simply disappeared.

But by now she had reached the end of the little road and could see, halfway down upon the left, the small semi-detachedhouse where she had lived with Alistair during the four years of their marriage

Mary steadied herself, putting her hand on to the low wall at the corner of the road, aware of her hand's sudden memory ofthe wall and its sharp stones With the touch of her hand upon the wall there came the unexpected image of a piano, their oldupright piano long since sold, which Mary must have thought of once as she paused with her shopping-bag at the corner ofthe road Alistair had a beautiful voice and they had often sung together, he playing the piano, she standing with her hands onhis shoulders This was a purely happy memory

Mary now began to walk slowly down the far side of the road She could already see that the hedge which she and Alistairhad planted had been taken away and a low brick wall had been put there instead The small front garden, which she andAlistair had planted with roses, was entirely paved now except for two beds out of which large rosemary bushes leaned tosweep the paving stones with their blue-green branches

Now Mary, almost opposite the house, could see with a shock the light of a farther window within the darkness of the frontroom They must have knocked down the wall between the two downstairs rooms, she and Alistair had often discussed doing

so She stopped and looked across The house seemed deserted
