Every morning my grandfather walks to the small park at the end of our lane. He leaves the house before the milk van arrives and comes back when the sun is warm on the walls. He says that the first hour of the day belongs to the person who wakes up for it. In the park he meets the same group of friends. One of them was a postman for thirty years and still knows the name of every family in the colony. Another taught science in the government school and likes to point at birds and tell us where they come from. They walk four rounds together, slowly, and then sit on the bench near the neem tree. They talk about cricket, the price of vegetables and the new bus route. Sometimes they argue, but they always laugh before they leave. When I go with him on holidays, I notice how much he sees on the way. He greets the flower seller, checks whether the tap near the gate has been fixed and picks up a plastic bottle that someone has dropped. I used to think a walk was only exercise. Now I think it is also a way of paying attention to the place where you live. Many Indian towns receive heavy rain for a few months and then face water shortage for the rest of the year. Rainwater harvesting is a simple idea that helps to close this gap. Instead of letting rain run off roofs and roads into drains, we collect it and either store it in tanks or guide it into the ground to recharge wells and aquifers. A typical house can collect a surprising amount of water. A roof of one hundred square metres in a town that receives eight hundred millimetres of rain a year can capture close to eighty thousand litres.

Why practise 10-minute tests

In a ten-minute test, posture, breathing and rhythm matter as much as finger speed. Treat each attempt as a mock exam: sit as you would in the centre, do not pause, and review the full error list at the end.

What speed to aim for

To clear a 35 WPM test comfortably, aim for 38–40 WPM net over ten minutes in practice. For Hindi 30 WPM tests, aim for 32–35 WPM.
