It was an activity where, children of grade 7 were asked to create a horror story in groups of 5-6 each. In one of the groups, there was a student Sumukh (name changed) who was involved as one of the group member. Sumukh is always seen as silent, not interacting with others, not giving answers to questions but when given problems to solve he would solve quickly and correctly. After several discussions and interactions it was found that he cannot understand Kannada as he is from West Bengal who has recently shifted to Bangalore. Before he was studying in Shantinikethan school in west bengal. After shifting to Bangalore he got an admission in GHPS School.  When we tried speaking to him in Hindi he started expressing about himself a bit comfortably.

During the activity of creating a horror story, as we knew that the boy knows Hindi we asked him to create the story in Hindi. Then the other children complained that they cannot understand. Then the boy immediately said, “ Mujhe bhi bholne ko chanace diyo yar”. Then one of the girl who knew both languages agreed to translate his story to others and others story to him. As the group was creating stories and adding their inputs this boy added his inputs so imaginatively and realistically as if it was his own experience. His language skills and vocabulary were so excellent that he went on describing the story for about 6 minutes continuously adding details so vividly.
