The academic schedule had already been given and the teachers started taking classes with full zeal. The schedule was so jam packed that the students didn’t have much time to think. The parade brought one change in Sahithi – she stopped contradicting the teachers and her punishments got reduced.

All the students were divided into four houses – Dasi, Sevaki, Kamini, Mohini. Sahithi was shocked when she saw the names of the houses.
