GIVING OUR CHILDREN THE GIFT OF LIFE


Our education systems are progressing and so are we; latest technologies, advancements and progress to the latest teaching learning techniques. We as the well – wishers of the young hearts placed in our care want the best for our kids, and that includes the best time and life. Being a teacher, I strongly feel that there is an important aspect to this idea, it being that of the virtues we inculcate in those young minds; an ideology, a truth and a crux to an essentially good living that never goes out of date.
A child needs to have within himself all the goodness and basic virtues we can instil them with, for this is what will give them a firm base for life. A basic understanding of the human nature, empathy, love, forgiveness, dedication, truth, loyalty and respect; all of which helps the child establish a firm belief system, to understand his own self and to find meaning with his life. In a world where life runs at a pace unprecedented, it is of utmost importance that we give our children a platform to build their lives upon; and why not let this platform be, at the first place to be that of quality lifestyle virtues and moral values. Let us give the children love so that they may love their fellow humans, forgiveness so that they understand that we all make mistakes and it is alright, patience to teach them how to handle situations life puts across their path, and dedication so that their hearts may never lose courage and they strive to their fullest potentials, to the most rewarding outcomes. Let us allow our children to find their own selves amidst today’s hectic life, so that they may prosper into intellectuals that have the best of education, the best of virtues and the best of life.

Technology is an enabler, not a replacement of the GURU

We see ourselves entering the world of high-end technology of the classroom boards and smart phones. The impact is all pervasive. Not long ago we lived through times when there were no such applications. Turn around for the flashback, there was hardly anything like the so called ‘High -tech support system’ that today we almost take for granted. Imagining the scenes, for connectivity between a parent and a teacher, the only way was through the landline at school or the PTMs. Resources have multiplied, and so have our expectations. Lo and Behold, A WhatsApp message by the worried parent of a primary class kid instantly connects her to the teacher sitting and relaxing at her home after hours. Bounds of time and distance have fallen. The innocent school diary of our times has given way to the smart ID card. Coaching   with those conventional blackboards which used to give us a sigh of satisfaction, now turned into online, and spreading its wings fast. We may not be far away from w...

*Governor's Rule in Kashmir*

President Ram Nath Kovind approved the imposition of governor's rule in Jammu and Kashmir, a day after the BJP pulled out of its alliance with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Jammu and Kashmir. In all states of India, the state government's failure results in President's rule. The process is slightly more nuanced in Jammu and Kashmir where not the President's but Governor's rule is imposed. The Constitution of India grants special status to Jammu and Kashmir among Indian states, and it is the only state in India to have a separate Constitution and regulations specific to it. Though many have hailed the decision of the central government to have presidents rule in Kashmir the decision has its pit falls: a.        The decision to bring in President's rule is like turning the clock back twenty years, when it was difficult to even get a democratically elected government.   *Some questions*: 1. What is the overall aim in Kashmir or the na...
