Let us Make Life Simple

 In my Junior classes our teacher taught us to believe in simple living and high thinking. 

But an individual one can implement this philosophy but in today’s world, in my country this is not accepted by very many people. Some time they look down on people believing in simple living. Other way sometimes it becomes a social problem if one leads simple living

Simplest example is birthday celebration of children. Procedure followed in Indian community is cake is cut by birthday boy and every child invited for bday party bring present for child. Sometimes child- birthday boy is not able to appreciate the present given to him as one is not interested in specific present or sometimes the present given has intellectual level, much above birthday boy. 

This makes things little difficult. It is also customary no child goes to b’day party without carrying gift. 

Then b boy has to give return gift to all children who has come for bday party. 

All these rituals make life complicated for parents, specially who are working. 

Moral of story is please make life simple and remain worry free and enjoy life.

Hurt Foot-----

 I had my close friend Gita. She was very intelligent ,after she finished her M. Sc degree she appeared for CSIR examination to go for higher studies. Before CSIR result could come she was invited  by school to teach science to secondary classes. 

Afre few months her parents got her married into good family. She was happy in the in laws family. 

After few months her CSIR result was out and she came out with flying colors in exam. 

She discussed with her husband and in laws family that she wishes to go for higher studies for which CSIR will give her fellow ship. Her husband agreed to her request but in laws were not in favor of this decision. 

One obvious reason was after higher studies Gita may get job in outside city. For that in laws family were not ready for same. Another reason was financial, that is fellow ship amout for higher studies was less than salary which Gita was getting as school teacher. 

Gita understood petty thinking of her in laws family. She went for higher studies for which she was never appreciated by her in laws. 

Gita was fortunate after finishing her higher studies she immediately got lecturer position in college. That full filled her dream. Her in laws were also very happy for same. 

Moral of story is petty thinking is like hurt foot which will never let one move forward.

Minimalistic Approach to Life

 My father was posted in France. I saw people in western countries accumulate things more than ones needs. 

This happens when big companies put big sale then people often buy things more than what they need. 

Companies put conditions like buy two get one free, then people often go for this option.

This is happening in India also. Now we indians are making our house museum instead of home. 

Since US has seen very big form of materialistic format therefore people in US are going toward keeping minimum things in house to lead happy life. 

 In our country accepting minimalism to lead life is must, as there is huge difference in pay of each individual.There is no even distribution of money and resources.

Some people have so many things that they can’t even have place to keep them in their home. There are others who  do not have enough clothes to cover their body. 

It is advisable to make ones house clutter free. 

Minimalistic approach to life has many advantages. 

Ones budget will be less. 

Less tension in home. 

It is easier to clean home. 

Financially one will be independent. 

Minimalistic approach to life is good for environment.

One will be away from pump show business.

One does not have to run after money.

Why some people are so much graceful

 My maternal family came to India after partition. It was a difficult time for all persons who migrated to hindustan. 

My mother was unmarried at that time. My grandparents were in confused state. They were living in refugees camp. 

My mother tell us that they hardly used to get to eat. Some how my grandparents arranged my mothers marriage. My mothers inlaws family was big. Unfortunately they were also refugees. My mother had to work very hard day and night. She had to cook for twenty people. All these hard work made my mother very humble. 

Helping attitude was built in her nature. She was very graceful. She will help everyone. My mother used to tell us, that she has seen so many suffering during partition time that now she does not want to add any more pain to this world. 

Suffering of partition made my mother very hard working, helping and therefore graceful.

Thanks Pauli

 Thanks Pauli

Friends I am electron,
I have charge and mass,
I am bound to atomic nucleus,
Therefore I have properties quantum,
Energy level(principal quantum number) ,
angular momentum(azimuthal
quantum number) ,
 magnetic quantum no,
 spin quantum no,

As one more electron like me,
is added to ones atom,
That electron has to go to higher level,
There will be greater angular momentum,
Friends how may similar be two elements
 may be in terms of structure and form,
No two elements will be same.
All four quantum no of another electron added
Will not be same as that of electron present in atom

This is root of why we on earth have so many possibilities
Of forming different types,
of molecules and complex structures,
Each new electro added to atom
Have all four quantum numbers,
But atleast one quantum no will be different.

Compare to all the the electrons present in atom before it.
Friends this is Pauli's
Exclusion principle
No two electrons in the same atom can have identical values for all four
of their quantum numbers.
Thanks Pauli sir for giving us a beautiful principle-Paulis Exclusion

A root of maintaining diversity, biodiversity on Earth.
Making life so unique and interesting on earth.

Wise people Ignore Many Things

 We used to live in government colony in Delhi. Most of people living in colony were middle class. 

One gentleman’x’ from colony bought brand new big car. He was enjoying his car with joy ride with his family. 

His  neighbors were not wise they started competing with Mr ‘x’ in buying good new car. 

Neighbors forget their children school fee, LIC payment and ailing parents medical bills and took loans and bought big new car. 

These neighbors soon realised that it was difficult for them to pay tution fee for children. Ultimately they sold that new car and started driving scooter. Other neighbors started making fun of them. 

But Mr ‘x’kept enjoying his car as he was not in pressure to pay loan of his car. Moreover Mr  ‘x’ was wise and had planned his money well. 

Moral of story is friends each one’s circumstances are different, compromises are different, planning is different, needs are different, goals are different.

If we can’t appreciate, we must atleast ignore other people’s achievements and luxuries and live practically as per our own circumstances and needs.Or bear with long term consequences of an unworthy emotional decision.

Fashion trends in Clothes-Environment

 I got my Bachelor and Master of Science degree from good college. Our college was girls college. 

After every four weeks one could see that fashion in clothes which girls are wearing has changed. 

This change in fashion clothes come from western world. They are prosper countries. Girls don’t mind buying costly clothes. 

Then these clothes go over to Asian countries for cheaper cost. In the process there is waste of resources from environment. 

If one think logically cotton cloth come from trees. Meaning trees are basic source of clothes. 

In other words if one is changing trends in clothes before clothes could complete full life,one is exploiting environment.  That creats chaos in whole world fashion trend in clothes. 

Moral of story is it is high time to stabilize global economy of world

It is not advisable to have so much frequent change in fashion trends and please dont tax environment.

Activities I do to make myself active

 

Sukarma TharejaMay 1, 2023

I am mom of two school going kids. I am also a teacher at local school. I have home front responsibility of two kids and home front day to day activities. On other hand I have professional responsibilities at school. 

I try my best to be efficient at home front and professional front. 

I get up at 5.30 am and make my tea. With cup of tea I come in my balcony and see green trees in front of my house. That itself give me wonderful start of day. 

When at school two days in week I try my best to take my lunch in isolation and try to crystallise my thoughts. That helps me a lot in making me energetic. 

At night before going to bed I come out in balcony and watch stars in sky and thank God for all the blessings. 

Once in fortnight I go and sit in beautiful garden full of greenery and flowers. 

These small activities which I have listed above are stress buster for me and make me going in my journey of dutiful mom and accomplished teacher.

Friendship With Poetry

 

Mom please read one poem for me,

Mom you are my grandma daughter,

Child poems are portal to place time less,

Mom poetry give us solace and enlightenment,

Child when one enters a poem,

One may feel it is small,

But one page pack of poem

Contains so much,

It gives one solace,

It gives one companion ship ,

It solves mystery,

Mom painful expressions are reframed in poetry,

Poetry reflects rich brew of sweetness and bitterness,

Poetry is not escape from chaos,

Poetry is refuge to calm land,

Which makes one emotionally strong,

Friend! Friendship with poetry is always good and beneficial.

Power to Ignore a Person

 There is great power in giving a person zero energy, This comes from knowing your self worth and it is a very important thing to learn. 

I had a friend her mother in law was abusive. She was very much disturbed,as she had no courage to fight back.

I requested my friend say nothing to your mother in law, simply ignore her. 

Friends!saying nothing one can never be misquoted .It is a very powerful tool of ones personality. My friend started observing strict silence with her abusive mother in law. 

My friend told me this tool is helping her finding peace within herself , and allowing nobody to infect it.

 Silence speaks louder than words ever could, A seed grows with no sound, but a tree falls with huge noise. Destruction has noise, but creation is quiet. This is the power of silence………..

Having full control of your emotions is also a super power that we all need to accomplish at some point in our lives, this comes with maturity and self confidence. Spending time alone also helps with understanding our value…..

Moral of story is if one encounters abusive person in life may be boss, may be husband, may be mother in law. One should ignore abusive person as far as possible. It gives one strength to fight back those odd circumstances time.

Technology vs expression on paper

 When I was small we were given lot of emphasis on writing.There used to be competition in school about good writing at primary level. There were no computers and lap top in our times. Every subject for learning involved lot of practice on paper. We used to write notes of evey subject. 

While digitisation has improved people’s efficiency it has also impacted students and learners with two major factors at the forefront.

Concentration levels: according to the same study, spending too much time on digital platforms including social media can result in a lack of focus and concentration. To reap the benefits of digitisation and continue to benefit from using writing tools for self-expression, individuals need to marry the two methods to enhance cognitive processes.

Dependence on technology: classrooms have become more technologically friendly, which has resulted in students struggling when trying to complete school work without any digital aid. A study. 

Moral of story is to increase student analytical power educators should use mix mode to teach. Educator should use black board to derive important points of lecture, for experimental demonstrations one can take help of video presentation. Friends all this I am writing from my own experience. This mixed mode of teaching help students take notes in class. They are always active and alert. Teacher and taught take best benefit from both modes.

Work from Home-Mom

 It’s a blessing to be mother. Any country feel proud if creative, intelligent women and specialy when they are mothers are contributing in building country. 

Women contribution in building country is special as their experiences of working adds to diversity of work. It is s known fact diversity in any work force make its impact much more balanced and innovative

But being a work from home mother is very challenging. To face these challenges mother needs support from many sides of society

Some moms are lucky  they could take a year off from job 

Trying to go back to work after meternity leave,there are number of challenges on moms  physical and mental health, and  deep down sometime moms entire income goes to her nanny, so staying in her job just be making sense.

Some time mom work part-time from home as a writer and journalist, and it could be the best decision mom could have made. Mom took something she was already doing for fun (blogging) and turned it into a way to make some money while her toddler was sleeping. Working from home left her able to completely eliminate childcare costs.

 Working from home may or may not necessitate childcare, depending upon the specifics.

Working from home may seem like a dream, but it also has its challenges. It can be difficult to stay focused while at home, especially when moms kids are there too.

Whether or not working from home is the best choice for mom depends on many factors

Mom can eliminate her commute.

Mom has more time to spend with your children.

Mom don’t need to dress up and buy a work wardrobe.

Mom may have fewer distractions.

Mom may be able to eliminate or minimize childcare costs.

There are some problems also

Home may be more distracting than the office.

Kids at home may demand more attention from mom(even if you have childcare).

There may be fewer opportunities for mom to advance professionally.

Working mom may feel isolated.

Writing-a Pleasant Experience

 I remember from class one onwards we were asked to write about species we see in day to day life. 

My teacher asked me to write about cow. I was very much fascinated by black cow. My grandmother used to worship black cow. To meet black cow I used to travel several miles. 

From class one onward writing became my hobby. When we were small we used to live in joint family. There was no facility of email at that time. My family knew that I am fond of writing, so who so ever wished to send post card to ones relative, I was person to be requested to write. I will very fondly write letters for every one. 

But in secondary classes I became student of science so I didn’t get much opportunity to do creative writing. 

When I started teaching in college to be creative in my art of teaching, I did science arts writing and liberal art writing. That made my teaching effective. Some of my science arts writing pieces got published in very good website and magazine. 

That encouraged me very much. Now after retirement to educate young minds I do science arts writing or sometimes liberal art writing. 

Moral of story is friends creative writing makes ones mind very fruitful and one become habitual to write worthwhile to train young minds for positive work.
