Gijubhai
An educator
Gijubhai Badheka was an educator who helped to introduce Montessori education methods to India. He is referred to as "Moochhali Maa". Gijubhai had an experimenter's scientific rigour, the urge to do and demonstrate something new, the perception to be able to find the sparks in the dark educational system of that time, and above all faith. Guided by these, he embarked on his journey into the realms of education, and left behind a rich legacy of work and writing.
Tell me,
Where shall I play? Where shall I jump? To whom shall I talk?
When I talk my mummy feels interrupted. When I play my daddy is irritated.
When I jump I am told to sit down, When I sing I am told to be quiet.
Tell me, where shall I go, what shall I do?
