BENGALURU: On Sunday morning, under a huge banyan tree, the men in the Kundanahalli village, Brookefield, were busy playing cards, a tradition they follow after every Ugadi. A little ahead, down a narrow lane crammed by small huts on both sides, a group of small children were walking in a line, chattering continuously, guided by a handful of 14-year-olds.
The latter led the children to the ground floor of a three-storey house, which would otherwise have been a parking space. Like a bunch of experienced teachers, the teens led the class teaching the alphabet and numbers.
