Note to Self: reason why I should never move out without a camera

Saw the most amusing sight while driving back to office from a meeting. There was a afghan police pick-up with two gun trotting cops in the back with a huge pink baby cot between them, with what looked like atleast 4 feet of pink curtains around it. They wizzed in and out of the traffice jam and were soon gone. Some lucky commandant has had a baby and needed that in a hurry, ensuring there was enough protection for it to reach in one piece.

Missed my camera!

multi purpose office space

Also being a day care.

Care has a wonderful day care for its staff. But there are times when my office doubles up as a day care and my role includes the same. when school's are shut or when the normal day care provider at home is unavailable and staff bring their children over for the day. They normally troop into my office, ostensibily for saying salam but realistically to raid my chocolate supplies (kept especially for such intrusions).

Here are a few snaps of what really happens and how my stationary is actually put to use



Munaza jan (one of the youngest ones) and my all time favourite! Now you know the reason I have toshak's in my office and not the normal furniture.











She also has a tendency of appropriating all my markers on a regular basis :).It a constant battle
retrieving them.











With Helen (the most precious one), while the rest of my team is jabbering away in Dari, this is the role assigned to me!











Peer learning at its best :). This is the only time Munaza condescended to smile for us. Tabassum is the only one she listens to.











Most of the HAWA kids as I call them.
