Getting a khata without paying any "service fee"

02/02/10 06:41 - s_yajaman

 Been a while since I posted anything - so here goes.  This is a small story of how we in one apartment complex have gotten our khatas without paying any bribe.

Only after they can read fluently at a minimum of 45-60 words per minute can they absorb what they are reading. Such fluency is most easily achieved in the mother tongue. Once that is established, learning a second language becomes much easier.
