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. Even if only half of this is saved, it can meet a large part of a family's needs for washing and gardening. The system does not have to be expensive. Gutters lead water to a filter made of sand, gravel and …

Why practise 30-minute tests

Very few exams last thirty minutes, but stenographer transcription often runs much longer, and practising beyond the exam length builds a safety margin. After a thirty-minute session, a ten-minute exam feels short and manageable. Turn on retyping or let the test run through several passages in a row.

What speed to aim for

Treat the marathon as an endurance check rather than a speed record. If your speed in the last five minutes is close to your speed in the first five, your stamina is exam-ready.
