My contract with the school where I currently work is about to end. I am required to go to school only if needed as my Grade 10 students are on study holidays. If not for the graduation day that was scheduled on January 10th, I would not have returned from the north so early.   The Graduation day was amazing. It is always a pleasure to meet my students. This is my fifth and last batch of students at the school. I have taught them since they were in Grade 8 and therefore have a relatively longer association with them. I find this batch dynamic and very loving. I felt like a celebrity taking selfies and pictures with them.   When my parents-in-law visited us, I made a road trip to Chitradurga. We explored the Onake Obavvana Kindi , Hidameshwara temple and Chandravalli caves. I had been there a long time ago.
