Didi says that Rishikesh is a good
student, one of the few who can already
converse in simple English. He is
confident and very respectful of others.
He is neat and is generally helpful.
He enjoys himself thoroughly. He participates
in everything and asks questions.
Rishikesh says, “My favorite
color is orange. I had a dream one
time, I found sticks. So I made a
house and painted it orange, green
and red. I love painting houses but
my parents say no.
I had another dream where I was speaking
to God. I asked him to make the Akanksha
center big and I come first number
in school.” His favorite day
was when they made flowers with red
and green thread.
Rishikesh wants to be an inspector
when he grows up. “Inspector
does good work – catches “chor”
and “goli” (thieves) and
then put in the jail”.
