I am not joking, school holidays are usually very taxing for me.
My house will be filled with close relatives children.
All expect me to give them crash course during holidays.

Not only that I have to cook and bake their favourites and appapa.
Made mee curry, pizzas, spaggetti , paal aapam, cookies biryani and so on.
This happens every school holidays.

Well I feel very happy when the call me to say that they have done well in their exams,
and thanks to my coaching.

You feel satisfied for your hard work.

Thanks Kugan
