Close Dose

As teachers we always insist that our students speak in English while at school.

This incident took place a few years ago. During that time, a few political parties had called for a 'Bharat Bandh'. I was telling my students that our school would be functioning as usual the next day. A child immediately stood up and asked, "But teacher, tomorrow is..Bharat...(groping for a suitable word)... Tomorrow India is closed, no?"

Help!!!!
