Awakening

Hi Friends,

Awakening this morning was an exhileration. Especially to see the headlines with the new president of America. The feeling was that one part of the world is celebrating democracy in its true sense.

Almost every country in all the continents have been struggling for eras with revolutions and also the emancipation. The racial prejudice has been blatant in the beginning, evil with the presence of the kluk kluk clan and slowly the whites did accept them. There have been movies, articles, revolutions, and many incidences to potray the attrocities as well as potray the acceptance by the citizens of America.

Today I feel that it is not Mr.Barack Hussein Obama who has won the election. It is United States of America who is the winner. They have overcome their weaknesses and have found the strength to accept, love and feel secured. They have found a person with whom they feel their country is secured, their rights are secured. In reality they have found their true self.

Along with the exhileration, there is a lump in my heart as I see the situation in my country.

At one point of time I had many opportunities to go abroad and carry out my mission which is "bringing about a positive difference in the lives of others". However I chose to stay in my own country as that mission could be accomplished here to and I have managed to do so. But the reason for not leaving the country was I felt secured here, safe, have an identity, my family and many many strong reasons.

Today I see that we are not even treating our fellow Indians with respect, equality. There is so much prejudice and the solutions are of stone age. "Survial of the Fittest". Is this what we call as a developing country. We are progressing or regressing.

The Question mark is too big.

PUBG - Concern of many Parents.

PUBG - Concern of many Parents.  Recently almost everyday, I have one parent or more contacting me for consultation regarding the struggles they are facing with their child who is addicted to playing pubg. All the cases are of boys. Girls also play, however I have not been approached by any parents.  According to one times of India article, almost 400 million people around the world play Player Unknown's Battle Grounds (PUBG). In each game, up to one hundred players parachute onto an island and then look for weapons to kill the others without getting killed themselves. The last player or the last team standing wins the game. Now we all know that game addiction is not a new phenomenon. However committing suicide, blackmailing parents, manipulating situations, bunking school to stay at home and play the game, telling lies to enter a competition, developing tennis elbow, Obesity, aggressively reacting neglecting hygiene,...

Four Pillars of Learning

Strengthen the Four Pillars of learning. The four pillars which actually distinguish a successful person from a mediocre or average performing person are Reading, Vocabulary, Comprehension and Mathematics. Not only are they essential for learning, but they are a part of everyday activities, whether it is learning, working, planning, strategising, sports, business, entrance examinations, you name the activity and a person with good reading, vocabulary, comprehension and math always has an advantage. During my 32 years of work experience, I met thousands of  students, assessed them, profiled them and am in touch with many. I discovered that the ones who had a natural liking for reading ended up with a good vocabulary and even if they are not into careers like engineering or medicine, they are very successful because of their abilities to communicate and express. In these years I also interacted with many individuals, who have engineering degrees, but are average performe...

Teenagers and Lockdown

TEENAGERS AND LOCKDOWN When my earlier posts reached across, many parents wrote to me asking for some guidelines to handle teenagers especially when the lockdown got extended. The very two words do not go together that is teenage and lockdown in other words curfew. The word curfew for a teenager is associated with punishment and their brain would take a while to accept that this is for containment and not punishment. No doubt it is a challenge for the parents to first deal with their own schedules and the great challenges emerged out of this lockdown and this can have a double whammy  if there is or are teenagers who are experiencing frustration as well. It is a well known and researched conclusion that our frustrations come out on our lives ones and in the cas of the teenagers it is their parents. Instead of getting worked up and falling into the arguing and fighting mode, let us get into the solution and harmony mode. As parents, you first need to accept what they a...
