Beyond the Battles...

 

Rohini used to go for shopping very frequently. Since it was very frequent, it was aimless shopping too. But the question is why she was doing it?

Karan used to turn on the old sad gazals of Jagjit Singh daily after arriving back to home and sat in the dark room. What he was doing with the same set of gazals everyday?

Raman opens up the bottle after his day's job and the question remains same, why?

Unknowingly they were doing it to avoid their anxiety, stress and solitude.  

Many of us are facing anxiety, stress and loneliness these days but we do not dare to face, churn and get the solution. We keep on running to avoid the inner battles while we need to take a pause, listen to ourselves calmly, identify the wants, accept the truths, stop expecting from others or I should say start listening to the call behind these battles. 

If there is something beyond the worldly issues, if it is a call from the nature to experience the truth.

Suicide cases among Pre-teens- Just a Worry or An Alarm?

  The WHY is not yet answered and perhaps there would be no BECAUSE in the suicide case of Amayara, the student of Neeraja Modi School, Jaipur since the one who knew the reason, is no more. My brain was really frozen for the days in this context. I could not move an inch in my thought process but the reason was very clear that I didn’t want to play a blame game by finding out the visible faults but the root cause. Else being a principal and teacher it would have been easy to blame parents and as usual for parents it was easy to blame school and teachers which they did. I had clear answers to unanswered questions Amayara left us with, that we got failed in nurturing children rightly, failed in shaping the secured childhood, failed in being careful guardians, failed in teaching the importance of a human life, and failed in raising the children of 21 st century. Amayara's steps toward the jump is not just a death but a progress report card to all elders where the progress proves our ...

A Reflection On Indigo’s “Sleep With Your Wife” Tagline

Image
 W e are living in an era where everything is advertised, anything can be advertised and lac of brains are simply working on catching the catchy taglines. In other words they are trying their level best to catch our brains. And the journey started from 1970s with the ads of Nirma washing powder, Lux Soap and Colgate etc and today it’s Indigo selling same day flights “Sleep With Your Wife”. I am not being paid for favouring Nirma, colgate or Lux and neither my opinion is going to affect Indigo but its my own satisfaction that I am not supporting such cheap & unhealthy marketing strategies that’s all. I have no idea where was this billboard displayed, since how long and was really displayed or not. I came across a post on Linkedin today and found this disturbing and I really wish this should disturb each one of us. I always questioned why an advertisement be it men’s wear, radio, TV,  or anything else needs a woman in short clothes unnecessarily but it’s a trend. I am questi...

Does teaching begin with a lesson plan?

  Thank youuuuuu mammmm, the students of grade V sang and Ms Desai, their Science teacher smiled while cleaning the board, collected her teaching material and left the classroom. Upon reaching to staff room she met Mr Nadan who was the SST teacher of grade V. Ms Desai asked him, if he had no challenges in handing those four students in the class named Riya, Aarush, Varuni and Samiksha who hardly opens up in the class. Mr Nandan, as if was waiting for someone to knock him, quickly said yes, I do face challenges since those never speak out but what to do they are so and don’t perform well in the assessments too. Ms Desai who is recently awarded as a best teacher, whose lesson plans are the most descriptive and dam good has the sense of students not opening up and performing well. While Mr Nadan has been serving in this institution for 10 years and he is also known as Mr Perfect of the school but has nothing to do now. The four walls of a classroom are the visible boundaries and...
