Hi! Im Rajiv. I am twelve years old and I live with my mother, father and sister here in Delhi, India.
I am woken up at 6.30. After my shower, I get dressed. School uniforms are compulsory in India.
Go away, Mum. Its too early. I want to sleep!
Our school has a typical Indian school uniform: long, dark blue trousers, light-coloured shirt and dark tie.
As I tie my laces on my shoes, I hear Mum calling me for breakfast.
India is an enormous country of 1.2 billion people, located in South Asia. It has a warm climate. Delhi is in northern India.
Mum makes us breakfast. This morning she makes us omelette and chai, which is a spiced tea from India.
Diya is nine and goes to the same school as me. We live in a modern apartment in Vasant Kunj, in south-west Delhi. My parents are partners in their own business. They work from home.
I eat breakfast with my sister, Diya.
I brush my hair and make myself look smart for school.
Mum and Dad wave goodbye as Diya and I set off for school.
We eat a very light breakfast. Traditional breakfasts in northern India could include a paratha or chapati (types of flatbread) served with vegetable curry, curd and pickles.
Diya and I attend Ryan International School, which is also in Vasant Kunj. Diya is in Class IV and I am in Class VII.
We take the bus to school each morning.
Our school has over 40 buses ferrying children to and from different parts of the city each day. We must always be polite and listen to the driver.
On the bus I chat with my friend Arjun.
It takes us 20 minutes to get to school. I have my cricket bat with me. Cricket is my passion.
Delhi, where I live, is Indias biggest city, with a population of 22 million. It contains the city of New Delhi, Indias capital.
There are many Ryan International Schools in India. They are private schools, so we must pay to be educated here. Most Indian children go to government schools, which are free.
We always start assembly with a prayer.
We are lucky because we go to a modern, well-equipped school. We have a library and computers and excellent facilities for sports, art and music.
We listen carefully to a speech from the principal.
Today, I get a chance to address the whole school. I enjoy public speaking. Of course, I talk about my favourite subject: cricket!
Most children in India attend school. In poorer areas of cities, or in remote areas, there can be up to 60 people in a classroom, and they have very few books.
Lessons begin at 8.30. There are 30 pupils in my class. At our school, everyone speaks English.
Today we are learning about the human body.
Our lessons include English, Maths, Hindi, Science, Geography, History and Art.
My friend Arnav and I have made a model to show how teeth are arranged in our mouths.
I am learning Computer Science. We are lucky to have computers 78% of Indian schools dont have one.
There are over 1,600 languages spoken in India today, and 18 official languages. The most widely spoken language is Hindi, but English is also very common.
At ten oclock, some of us go to the music room, where we are learning to play instruments. I am learning the drums.
I am learning to play rock and pop rhythms.
There are many kinds of music in India. A popular folk style is Bhangra. The unique sound of Indian music is often created by an instrument called a sitar.
Were preparing for a concert at the end of term, which is in June. In India, the school year begins in April and ends in March. We have vacations in June and December.
In our art class, were making mosaics out of coloured pieces of paper.
Our country is famous for its art. Indian artists through the ages have made magnificent bronze sculptures, murals (wall paintings), miniature paintings and jewellery.
During breaktime, I eat my snack. Mum made me a paratha with dal (lentil stew) and raita (yoghurt sauce).
I chat with my friends about the cricket. Im happy because India is winning in the test match against England.
