00:00This was a victory dance.
00:23That was definitely an English language class, and since the child wanted to perform on
00:29a Haryanvi song, so I said there's no issue at all.
00:53If the classroom is set up, then it is generally the teacher who is teaching.
00:59You see the classroom from close quarters, you realize that there's a lot that teachers
01:06actually learn from their students.
01:14See, when you are a teacher, you know, you need to have that sportsman spirit where when
01:20the children are saying something or someone is telling you to do something, don't refuse.
01:25At our request, at the request of the teachers, the children work a lot.
01:30The relationship has to be very mutual and very reciprocated.
01:36So I also started dancing.
01:38There are moments when, you know, we shed all our inhibitions and we decide that we
01:55are going to dance, we are going to sing songs, we are going to crack jokes.
02:08These are some moments when we are very stress-free, where children feel that this is the place
02:28where nobody is judging me.
