It was overcast since morning. And by early evening the sky opened up. It wasn't a decision for the faint-hearted but I made it and stepped out of the house :-) Luckily for me, within minutes the rain stopped as if a tap had been turned off. Walking along the pavements (and on the road where the pavement is non-existent) without stepping into any puddles is a task even Hercules would hesitate to attempt. But as they say, no gain without pain, right?
I would have thought that it was the lowest attendance - with only the 3 of us around - but I knew that it had happened once before. The teacher covered more rules. At one point she asked if we wanted to switch to another topic for a while and continue with the rules in next session. We had done around 20 rules (12 since the last session!) at that time. Alarmed, I asked her if we were likely to hit half a century mark. Mercifully, she replied in the negative and said that only 4-5 of them were remaining. So everyone agreed that the show must go on. At 25, she said that we were done.
There are about 30 questions based on this to be solved for the home work. And the teacher plans to send some more questions - based on the usage of विभक्ति - in the coming days to our Whatsapp group. Next week there is no class owing to Diwali holidays. Perfect time for extra homework :-)
Guess we have about 9 sessions to go before the course ends along with this year. Going back to Sanskrit had always been on my To-Do list. Can't believe I finally managed to get around to doing it.
