Traditional New Year

Today is an important day in many states such as Kerala and Tamilnadu in India as it marks the beginning of the traditional new year.  This day is also celebrated by people in many countries including Cambodia, Laos and Thailand due to strong historic ties between India and these countries, which were all together, known as a single country "Bhaarath versh"; it was a large area from present day Afghanistan to present day Indonesia.

My published works include 59 articles in teacher development magazines in India and the US and a book entitled `Creative Classrooms and Child Friendly Schools' (listed in Amazon).
