The NCERT does it.

The National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) has included a chapter on the National War Memorial in the Class 7 English textbook with an aim to inculcate the values of patriotism, devotion to duty and courage and sacrifice among schoolchildren.

The chapter titled 'A Homage to our Brave Soldiers' is included in the last chapter in the book 'Honeycomb', according to the e-version of the book available on the Council's website.

The chapter highlights the history, significance and concept of the National War Memorial and also talks about the supreme sacrifice made by the brave hearts of the Armed Forces in the service of the nation post independence.

My take

A step in the right direction, at long last!

Tailpiece.

Got up a trifle before 6,the chores and was ready by 10.

Went to Mini's house at Ayoor. It was nice to see her after what has been a long time. 

A quiet evening.

Rain at night.
