On A School Sandbox

“I am delighted with this collection: an independent, critical as well as enthusiastic mind has examined what we offered, and has made it her own, often in quite unexpected and inspiring ways. You will find much here to nourish you, whether you were in Coimbatore or discover Sangam through Isha’s eyes.”
