Spring Street International School "Dispatches" from the field
The river is wide and slow as a lake, sweet and languid. The other side is a flat empty sand field ready to be covered in water when the monsoons come. Monkeys run on railings and rooftops, snakes in sacks to dance for horn players on the ghats, rats will eat food left in your room, mangy dogs bark all night, and sleep by day. Cows walk wherever they will, sometimes in the middle of a wedding party, sometimes in the middle of a narrow stairway, sometimes giving birth in the street with a garland of fresh marigold blossoms hanging around their neck. You cook on an open fire in your 1000 year old stone house filling it with woodsmoke. All the water for washing and cooking comes from an outdoor faucet, but you have a cell phone in your pocket. You can tell the history of your country, but not without including the activities of the Gods.

Do you have any advice on how to proceed from here? -- R. and R. Sims, Jacksonville, Fla. A: I've always found a lot of similarities between entrepreneurs and mountain climbers.

Pioneering mountain climber George Mallory, who may have summited Mount Everest before Edmond Hillary, once described his climbing struggles as sheer joy. He said it was these daunting adventures that allowed him to enjoy life fully.

Cook with kids
Cookbooks aimed at children and their parents have become a growing publishing niche. Here's a selection of the latest: • In the "Green Eggs and Ham Cookbook" by Georgeanne Brennan (Random House; $16.95), you'll go lots of places. Inspired by the words of Dr. Seuss, kids will have fun making Cat in the Hat Tub Cake (a pre-bought angel food cake that you decorate with whipped cream and berries), Jed's Bed of Shrimp (deep-fried coconut shrimp) and Daisy-Head Mayzie Burgers. Many of the recipes, such as Gertrude McFuzz-y Berries and Silly Sammy Slick Sodas, require no chopping, cooking or appliances, so kids can make them with minimal supervision. For those who want to relive the days of "Sam I Am," follow the recipe for ham covered in cilantro and parsley with a fried egg covered in guacamole.
