I recently returned from a quick trip to Pune. I have fond memories of Pune as I once wanted to study there and go to college but I couldn’t get in and now this time I was back to visit beautiful schools to read Jalebi Jingles with Scholastic India. My day began with my visit to The Orchid School, Pune, read the report here.
