STEM-Humanity

 There are many format of STEM-science,technology,engineering,Mathemstics.STEM education is backbone of any country.Young generation can fetch high salaried jobs with STEM education.

Not including humanities in STEM is a myopic view. There is strong view among educationist that STEM is actually STREAM- Science, Tech, Reading, Engineering, Art, and Math and STEam process are very useful in logically analysing history and other humanities subjects. Humanities is must for students as it teaches them humann values which one practices in life

STEM education includes courses in humanities such as language, sociology, economics, accounts, commerce and management around 15% as a way to bring STE to people. Teaching 15% STEM courses to students of science, humanities, commerce is necessary for them to be a little bit more disciplined and purposeful in life

Reading Books

 I was teaching science in school. I used to motivate students to do extra reading, may be newspaper, magazine or books. I told student that library period is alloted  each class so that student could catch up with habit of extra reading. 

Many students were sincere and used to do extra reading and sometimes will ask relevant questions. In a way these students also helped me in increasing my GK in present science and history of science. This useful activity increased students curiosity. 

I observed students whose parents were helping them for  reading extra books were learning new things .These  students were thinking about why the world is in the state it is

These students were interested in finding out more about things one don’t understand

They were good in finding out about a new idea

These students were good in explaining  how AC, fan, radio pressure cooker   works.When ever I get opportunity I will help those students who are interested in same to write detailed project. Many students did it successfully. I helped those students to get appreciation certificate from school. That little incentive helped students to move forward in science and that project writing in science became their second nature.

Time-Freedom

 My father always advised all of us to go for simple living. He always argued why buy ones personal car as it only a means for going from place  A to B. For that on can use Uber taxi services to do so. 

He always argued that living in small house is better than living in big house as unnecessary material one will accumulate as clutter. This way one will save ones time, which one put in for unnecessary shoping ,and money one had to put in for maintaining big house. 

With same argument he taught all of us how to do cooking. According to him home made food is more nutritious and clean. And one does not depend on help for cooking. This exercise also saves ones lot of money.  Ones saved money one can use that amount in persuing ones passion. In other words one had more freedom to do what ever one wishes to do. 

When we were in school, my class mates will try to humilate us, they will talk, look they are so miser they live in small house and they do not have personal car. At young age we never understood the benefits of all these good practices followed at our home. Nor we could explain our friends so. 

As we grew up we understood the philosophy behind all the practice s followed at our home. These practices give us two precious gifts

1.more time at our disposal

2.more freedom available to us

With these two gifts one can follow ones passion and spend more meaningful time with dear snd near ones.

She used to do that very often as and when she got time. Nisha’s daughter  soon reslised that fine arts make her happy.After doing engineering she persuaded fine arts. She got many good opportunities to do so. 

Nisha’s daughter soon reslised one  can do anything in this world that one really want to do.

Nisha’s daughter got married .Her in laws were good but they always thought it is good that Nisha’s daughter fetch job on bases of engineering degree and persue her career in this. But Nisha’s daughter wanted to persue fine arts. She did so. She is doing well in fine arts job. She soon realised one doesn’t have to do anything in this world that one doesn’t really want to do.

Moral of story-  I know students who are capable of hacking any computer system.I always sincerely advice these students just because you can do something, doesn’t mean you must.Please understand Institute has made you capable, so that you could become good citizens of country. So students please dont do this unlawful activity. This is not going to make your life meaningful.

Young generation Eating Habits

 What our new generation is eating some time make me worry. We can not  even tell youngester what they are eating is not going to help them. 

When I request younger generation to esty right kind of food they laugh at me, look at mom eating wheat and butter milk etc.

New generation children are  used to eating chemical in food. New generation is used to eating proceed food which contain so many chemicsls.  

Hoe can parents teach good habits of eating in children when they themselves eat out in restaurants.Very few restaurants are neat this every one knows.I personally feel these proceesed food make ones body pro ailments. 

Children should be given fresh fruits, cereals, vegetables and home made snacks. One should encourage children to eat sprouts. But alas no parents want to get into cumbersome process of cooking.

 Since ready made food is available in market. Moreover since both husband wife both are working therefore no time is available to them for doing home cooking.I really hope parents take care of kids and think of giving children healthy food.

Miracle of gift ti driver

 My son used to go to his school by traveling  in bus. In bus teachers and students use to travel. Senior students were naughty and immature they will make younger students fight with each other during travel time. 

Teachers will try their best to resolve fights taking place among younger students. But immature senior students used to fun out of fight of younger students. 

My son everyday will come and tell me about fights going among younger students. I found it little odd. 

One day I requested driver of bus to look into this problem. But driver was grumpy and he never gave any concern for my request. 

I understood driver is frustrated. To solve this problem I started giving present to driver for festival like holi -diwali. After seeing me doing so many parents started giving present to driver. 

Driver felt very happy. There was change in his behavior and he started behaving very nicely with students traveling in his bus. 

Moral of story is sometimes gifts given to person who is not happy in life do wonders in person life.

Vedanta Philosophy

 When I was small our mother used to tell us to respect books as they give you knowledge, hence they are vidya mata. 

Respect money. Please dont waste money it is laxmi mata. Respect food as it given by God ann data. Respect water. Each river in India is given status of God. Without water life is nothing. 

When ever rains used to come in specific time in year people in India used to congratulate each other. 

This all is  according to Vedanta. Vedanta philosophy preaches us that every thing in this universe is manifestation of divine. Even we are manifestation of divine.
