Sweet corn purchase

Our grand children were visiting us.They said"grand ma they love magi with #sweet corn in it."

I said "while coming back from office I will bring #sweet corn from grocery store and sometime I will make magi with sweet corn for you". On my way back from office I came to grocery store and bought corns.I saw packet of corn on bench of grocery store.It was under concession list.I bought packet of #corn and kept it in my kitchen store.

I was busy with my grandchildren visiting nearby #gardens for morning walk.In evening sometimes we will go for #ice cream get together.It was big fun.

It was Sunday .I thought let me make magi with #sweet corns for my grandchildren for breakfast.I opened packet of same and I at once realized this definetly is not sweet corn packet.I wish I had checked with grocery store people.

Further research revealed that this corn packet is of different quality called #field corn.

From this incident I realized how my initial assumption about #sweet corn was a #mistaken identity by my brain.

My human brain used my intuition to make rapid #judgement about sweet corn.That was my system 1 thinking,as defined by #Nobel laureate(2002) Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky.System 1 thinking is fast and intuitive and therefore it can be riddled with #human biases. It showed up when I made instant judgement about #sweet corn.

If my brain would have acted with system 2 thinking(as defined by noble laureate Daniel Kahnema and Amos Tversky) which is slower analytical, where brain consciously collect evidence evaluates option and make decision would have been different. My decision when I bought #sweet corn was with help of #unconscious system 1-fast thinking not slow thinking.

I had used slow thinking process I would have examined if it was sweet corn or #field corn or some other variety corn.In this process the #unconscious system 1 thinking instincts would have influenced my # conscious system 2 thinking.

Main point is the core concept of #sweet corn comes into my brain from intuitive system(system 1 thinking) .

Question is why did I think that corn packet is sweet corn ,part of answer is "context' the different element of situation and their relation ship to each other, I did not go deep into #context.Finally a corn packet which was assumed sweet corn by my brain when purchased from grocery store, when opened was recognized as field corn..The main point "context" sweet corn is #illusion.Actually when examined with help of(system 2 thinking) of my brain it was found that corn packet was #field corn.As it is rightly said one should not evaluate book with"book cover" but if one is involved with #system 1 thinking,then for book is "book cover".

Sukarma Thareja

Moral-If one is involved with #system 2 thinking(slow thinking)as defined by noble laureate Daniel Kahnema and Amos Tversky)then for book is #not book cover.

One Good Life -Three Paramete

In co curricular activity class my student Krishna asked me "madam! is path of #good life that simple"

One student said "it depends on one's #resources madam"

I said could you please explain with simple example.Suppose there are two individuals A and B.A has internet facility available at home.While B has to make lot of #efforts to avail same.

A through resources of internet can attend on line classes to learn high technology techniques,like knowledge of hard ware used in computer.If A wishes can learn #programing also.Another important parameter which A should have is #willingness and ability to learn same.A Has to take out #time from his busy schedule to do same.

Another individual B who has to make lot of effort to avail #internet facility can still develop simplicity in life.It is another thing B can not enjoy life like A.

B can enjoy simple #inexpensive things like reading,writing,simple #sketching skill. B can make supportive friends,can listen to good #music and travel by public #transport. B does not require lot of money for his enjoyment. B has #simplicity in life he has lot of #time at one's disposal.

Another student concluded and said" one must assess one's #time,#ability and #resources to lead simple life."

I said yes dear students,but then next question is the extent of overlapping of all three parameters with each other.The more there is #overlapping among above mentioned three parameters #more simple life one can enjoyI said as student of mathematics

I will put forward the formula to lead simple happy life as follows

Intersection of three parameter Time, Ability and Resources leads to simple life.

Let us put it in mathematical equation

Let TIME intersection ABILITY, be equal to X

Let ABILITY intersection RESOURCES be equal to Y

X intersection Y =simple good life.

Intersection of three domains Time,Ability and Resources can give one good life.

GPS to become Gentleman

I am a science teacher in a government school. I am in charge of #co co-curricular activities of the school.

One student asked me, "Madam, please tell us the path to becoming #gentleman."

I said, "This path needs disciplined #hard work. One who does walk on this #unique path really benefits."

I further said, "In this digital age, #GOOGLE Maps shows the path to everyone through GPS."

Let me tell you a wonderful #Apps to become a gentleman

I further said, "This #GPS to become a gentleman is a combination of many small apps."

I am listing three small 3 apps part of #GPS to become a gentleman which can help one in becoming of gentleman

1. You may be in a difficult or an easy situation, always following #dharma-(GPS-1)

2. Try hard to go for #good education(GPS-2), which gives equal importance to informal education and subjects like science, humanities, and arts are a must.

3. Try to give a good value system to students/children, which is called #sanskar(GPS-3) in the language Sanskrit.

Moral-Another important thing to remember is once you are following any one of the three or all three of above above-listed apps of GPS to become a gentleman, you must value the person who is giving you time to teach GPS-1, GPS-2, and GPS-3. It's not only the time that one is giving that is important. Those respected persons are sharing part of their life with you to teach Gps-1, Gps-2 and Gps-3 to you

Our Society

God-Intention

According to the Hindu epic,

#Shrimad Bhagavat Gita.

One should perform one's karma,

With one's best #intentions,

But society does not # evaluate

one on one's best #intentions,

Rather society #evaluates,

One on one's #show off degree,

These # egomaniacs think only about themselves,

But Almighty evaluates one through one's #intentions.

Come on friends,

Let us follow preaching of Bhagvad Gita,

Perform day to day activities,

With best intentions,

Without incorporating,

Materialistic values.

Moral-Confused persons of society believe in #big show off and spoil society.

Pearls of wisdom

I am a science teacher in a government school. One day, I met my girl student, Usha, at the bus stop. It was a pleasant #surprise to meet my student after a long time.

Usha said, "I am happily married, madam. But certain material things I wish to buy and some activities I wish to carry out for myself, till today I have not been able to do so. Sometimes I talk to myself, though everything is all correct for me, why do I think when I go to my #mothers house, I will get so and so things? For that, I strongly feel madam, I am #postponing my freedom to #enjoy my life."

I said, "Dear Usha, I agree that as time passes in life, sometimes you do feel that so #many things I have left behind. I know Usha, you wish to learn classical music and that has become your #distance future."

I further said, "Dear Usha, remember you should lead your good life right now. Please stop thinking of a better life that may come in #future. Do not wait for #happiness. You should start working for what you think you wish to do. Feel confident that you can do it. Make a habit of #passing a smile to your students wherever you meet them. Hum #songs which you like while traveling or #cooking. Enjoy drawing and #painting with your kids. Sing rhymes with your kids. That activity will make your #children learn rhymes fast, and you will also relax. According to me, these are #pearls of wisdom. The same I am passing to you with a lot of #affection."

Usha said, "You are right, madam, some people wait all year for #holidays that they will visit #hill station to get happiness. I should not be like them. I should #start enjoying my life right now with whatever resources I have what ever #means I have."

I said "Yes! Usha, do not miss this big #gift given by God to you, please accept it as it is. Just #enjoy right now in life. Please do not #postpone it any further. You do meet so many people in life, do not #expect anything from them. Format your #own path of life. Follow your #own path and enjoy life.

This way of thinking about life will give you #confidence and a lot of #satisfaction in life.

Moral -No point looking for distant future possibilities in life. Enjoy your life now with the present resources, which you are blessed with.

Two individuals

We are two people in one home,

I love reading science-philosophy,

Research papers.

He loves to watch good,

Science serials on TV,

I love to take coffee, he loves tea,

I like to travel by aeroplane,

He loves every mode of transport,

I wish to walk in just light rain,

He is an early riser and likes sunshine,

Surprisingly, to some it may seem that,

We two disagree on so many issues,

But we both respect each other's choice,

Therefore, no question of disagreements,

We have learnt the art of agreeing in disagreements,

Therefore, we both fondly love each other,

We often talk and remember each other's

Best doing and best actions at the time of need.

We can not live without each other.

Dear friends, please,

Respect each other's point of view,

At the same time, you have the right,

To keep your own point of view,

For a particular issue.

This philosophy

Resolve many issues,

In day-to-day life.

Cooking A Hobby or Necessity

I am a science teacher in a government school. When some relatives visit our house, I request dear Manna, a #cook in my society, to help me out in #cooking. Manna is a humble lady and does her cooking activity in society with a lot of honesty. Therefore, Manna is a popular cook in our residential society.

Manna says," Madam, I cook breakfast, lunch and dinner for so many families in your society. It takes me one hour to one and a half hours to do the needful. Madam, for my own family, I cook three times a day. At home, I do get help from my mother-in-law.#Cooking is not my #hobby. I earn #money through this activity."

I said, "Manna, what is your hobby, dear?"

Manna said, "I am not a privileged lady like other women in society who have no time to cook. #Cooking food is for sure not my #hobby, madam. Answering your question, I do sing some #Gujrati folk songs; this singing gives me a lot of joy and #energy. You can say #singing folk songs is my hobby."

The other day I met my friend Sunita at a party. Sunita is posted at the other end of #globe. She is working as a model and is working in an IT company. I asked, "Dear Sunita, what do you do in your free time?".Sunita said, "#Cooking is my favorite hobby."

After hearing Manna and Sunita, I realized the Weight of being privileged. Lack of privilege makes cooking a #necessity and survival need for Manna. For #non-privileged, Manna cooking for several houses at different times is her #need. She has to do it to let her both hands meet. Manna has #no weak end leaves. It is not certain when she will #retire from her cooking duties.

For #privileged Sunita, doing any work is not her need. Sunita has chosen to work for an IT company to spend time usefully and keep herself #entertained. Cooking for Sunita is #fun activity.

From the example of cooking activity discussed above, it follows that for # non-privileged, cooking is #necessity, while for #privileged, the same activity-#cooking is not a necessary activity. It is a fun activity.

After hearing both versions, I realized the weight of privilege.

The lack of privilege makes cooking a necessity and a survival need for one woman, while the presence of privilege makes cooking a hobby or a fun activity for another woman.

Cook personality

Indirect implication of Cook's Personality Trait

Indian woman who #cooks for family,

Sometimes suffer from an #inferiority complex,

That she is not a# working woman of the house,

She is just a #home maker.

She forgets that her cooking style and cooked dishes,

Built a history of #culture in her family,

When guests happen to eat her #cooked dishes.

Where she is #coming from,

Who is she, how much #caring she is,

What rules does she keep as a priority while cooking

What makes her #happy,

Many questions listed above are indirectly,

Answered about her #talent and #sweet nature,

It's an honor for a home homemaker,

No question of an inferiority complex.

Sukarma Thareja

Thoughts and Feelings

I am a science teacher in a government school. I am in charge of the co-curricular activities of the school.

One student asked me, "Madam, you are always teaching us to keep #good thoughts in our mind and remain away from #negative thoughts. We agree to your suggestion, Madam. I will be grateful if you could please enlighten me a little bit more about the same."

My student Rajesh said, "Negative thoughts cause negative feelings, which lead to negative behaviors, which then reinforce the original negative thoughts. "

I said, "Thoughts are your internal dialogue, ideas, beliefs, and the stories you tell yourself about a situation. They are often conceptual. Feelings are your emotional and physical reactions. They can be expressed as joy, sadness, or fear that arise in response to thoughts or external stimuli."

My friend Usha said, "Dear student, if you feel like a failure, it is a thought, while the actual feeling might be sadness or fear, so friends a thought is a story which you've constructed around that feeling."

I said, "Dear student, yes, I strongly believe that if one thinks that one will be #beaten in x competition, one will. Similarly, if one thinks that one will lose, then surely one will #lose. Therefore, I request you my students to #think high to raise oneself. One should form the habit of being sure in thoughts before one wishes to go high in performance. "

I further said," Every student has to fight his/her own battle to achieve their goal in life; therefore, friends please remember that it is not #necessary one will win the battle if one is #strongest of all. A prerequisite of the same is to win the battle of life always #THINK I CAN." One's thinking affects one's #feelings. When one's thoughts and feelings are in #equilibrium, one acts in life. Simplest logical mathematical #fundamental equation of life THINK I CAN."

My friend Usha said, " Thoughts influence feelings, and feelings influence thoughts, which in turn influence behavior. This creates a continuous cycle."

Moral "Understanding that feelings are natural reactions, and thoughts are a way of processing those feelings, can help you respond to day-to-day activities of life with confidence.

Sukarma Thareja

Pre-requisite of Relationship

I have a friend, Karuna. Unfortunately, her husband is in the habit of cheating with her in terms of #financial promises. He will promise Karuna x amount of money, but will never give her the same amount. Somehow, he will spend money on other things which he never # discloses to Karuna.

Sometimes Karuna gets depressed and says, "Madam, sometimes I feel that somehow I am not able to handle my husband. He thinks that Karuna will not understand my cheating trick. "

I always tell "Karuna, think like this. When we were small kids, many of our classmates would never prepare for the monthly test and would always be asking #answer for questions. They simply behave in that manner because they never #prepare themselves for the test. Please try to #understand this problem in the same way that your husband wants to be in relation to you in #financial matters, but he is not prepared for the test for financial matters relationship, therefore he #cheats for the same. He thinks that he can maintain a good financial relationship with you without #undergoing a test. Therefore, dear Karuna, please stop #blaming yourself for the same, as #fault lies with your husband's behavior. "

Moral-If one wishes to be in any form of relationship with another person, one should be prepared to appear for a test. A test is - prerequisite of any type of relationship.

Expecting Sorry

I teach science in a government school, and I am in charge of the curricular activities of the school.

Two Sisters #Sita and Gita are students of class 9th in my school. Once Sita was upset, and her sister Gita and her friends told me, "Madam Sita is upset as she has # fought with her sister Gita. "

I called Sita and asked about why she is so upset. Sita said, "Madam, I am upset my sister Gita started #fight and she knows she is wrong, in spite that, my sister never # apologizes and says sorry. '

I said, " Dear Sita, it's ok if Gita does not apologize to you. But you should remember that when you are expecting #apology from Gita in the process, you are hurting yourself # emotionally. In the process, your revolt feelings are acting like #poison to you. That is affecting your #health and mood. You are losing many things. Therefore, I sincerely advise you never get into this #mess. Her apologies are not going to help you in any case. Therefore, I sincerely advise you to keep yourself #calm. "

Fortunately, Sita acted on my # advice and told me Madam, your advice is best.

Moral-Expecting sorry from the other person is #futile exercise. In this exercise of expectations, one # hurts oneself emotionally and gains nothing.

When Stuck in Between

I am a science teacher in a government school. My friend Mira teaches mathematics at my school. Her marriage is fixed by her #parents. She is in a state of #anxiety, and at the same time, she looks a bit confused also. She tells me, Madam, where I am and where I #want to be, I have no idea."

I said, "Dear Mira, just #relax, my friend, there is endless,#boundless in between what you are and where you want to be".

Mira said, "Madam, I feel #uncertain between my past and future."She further said, "Madam, there are so many #uncertainties. Will I get a job after marriage? Will I be treated kindly at my in-laws' place? Will I be able to adjust to new circumstances?"

I said, "Dear Mira, please do not try to figure out everything about #future. I advise you to take this moment by moment. And things themselves will get #clear. I agree some things may be #difficult for you. But I am sure many things will be #easier for you. Some way of working at your in-laws' place will make #absolute sense to you, while others may #leave you with lots of questions. Gradually, you will find answers to many #questions."

I further said, "Dear Mira, I assure you from my #experience of life, all your #experiences and anxiety may have #mountains and #valleys. When you add all those in life, they will create a #landscape, where somehow spiritual forces and blessings will make you through with all these #anxieties and everything will fall in the right place.

Non- Linear Life

Non-linear life- Relationship Bridges

Relationship bridges involves actions like active listening, handling conflict constructively, and being willing to go beyond your comfort zone to strengthen the bond. This metaphor can also be applied to repairing damaged relationships ("mending bridges") or simply strengthening a connection by showing mutual interest and respect.

In one's # non-linear life path, one forms precious#relationships also. While nurturing these #relationships, these bridges take strong, concrete shape.

Please don't make walls in relationships as the world moves in #circles. Please do not be miser in nurturing these relationships with love, affection and #good intentions. One never knows what you are giving in making #relationships bridges may come back to you in no time in the same format completing

Quote about Relationship by Sukarma Thareja

Best relationships are made by contribution of patience ,attention and constancy. Even if one factor is contributing less best relationship gets distort and can give unexpected results. Are you observing this simple practice about all three factors while making relationship bridges? If not please observe and appreciate the same.

Indian Black Berries Jamun

It was summer holidays. My school was closed for 15 days. In between, I had to go to school to supervise minor science projects of my students. My # grandchildren Medha, Jay ,Arya and Anaya had come to spend some time with us(grandparents). It was such a # coincidence that one mango tree in my garden was at the last leg of its #mango crop(in full ripe stage). Even my big blue berry(Jamun) had started giving # blueberries. We and our grandchildren used to enjoy natural tree fruits, mango, blueberries, and Jamun every day.

It was Sunday, and my project students also came for#breakfast. I prepared lemon rice with fruit custard. Of course lot of fresh mangoes and blueberries were also on the table, and their fragrance had made a unique atmosphere for breakfast. It so happened that Mr.David-biologist our guest visiting the school for an official assignment, also by chance came to our house. It was breakfast time, and everyone was in a pleasant mood.

Mr. David said, "Madam, your garden blackberries, Jamun, are of very good quality. This Jamun stem wood is very precious. If in a stored water tank, one just puts a piece of a jamun stem water tank will never get fungal infection. Water will remain as fresh as ever."

Mr David further said, "Because of this unique quality of Jamun wood, it is being used in making wooden boats which never get spoiled for years together. For its same quality, it was used in making the bottom of each well made in the village. From a health point of view, Jamun is very useful for eyesight as it contains a lot of vitamin C.

I said, "Sir, you are right. Jamun fruit contains a lot of iron; therefore, it helps one in keeping the hemoglobin level of blood at the right level."

One student said, "Madam, my grandmother used to tell us that Jamun helps diabetic and arthritis patients".

I said, "Students, Jamun helps one in digestion and helps in making loose motion all right."

Students and children picked up clean fallen jamun, and did a lot of photography with my fruit garden tree.

I am no longer living in the same house. But pleasant memories of lovely jamun and mangoes are still with us and our grandchildren.

Moral-Indian Jamun fruit is very delicious, and its seeds are very good for #diabetic patients. Please do rope the Jamun tree in your #garden if possible.

Joblessness

I teach science in a government school. My students come from various backgrounds. I noticed my student Suman looked# unhappy. I called her and asked the reason for the same. Suman said," Madam, after going from school, I used to do part part-time job in a private #company.Unfortunately, the company closed with in notice of one month. Presently, I am without a part-time job. I am searching for a #new job. Till today, I am not able to fetch a new job."

I said," Dear Suman, I can understand your #concern. Problems are part of life. Please remain with the Almighty. God helps everyone in #difficult time. These problems make one very mature. They teach you to find your own way to face the #difficult situation. These problems, when one faces, make one differentiate between right and #wrong. In other words, problems make one lead a #peaceful and # contented life."

I further said, "Dear Suman, please do not lose your heart, but be #determined in your work and skills. Hindu epic Gita also teaches that the best is to do good #karma and rest you leave it to the Almighty. Karma is very powerful in one's life. The result of one's #karma searches a person the same way as cows calf searches its mother among a hundred cows. Therefore, dear Suman, focus on the process, not on its #fruits. Please always work with good intentions. Problem will automatically get #solved. Time taken to solve problems may be more. Maintain balance in life. Losing a job is not the end of the road. Many new doors of opportunity will open for you. Please remain confident. Involve yourself in fun activities that will give you strength to find a new job."

Moral -Intentions behind one's actions matter in life. Therefore, always keep good thoughts and do good karma in life.

Do you Have Bend Spine

I had a lot of pain in my lower back. I went to the Doctor to get medicine for my ailment. Dr said," Madam, you have been keeping bad #posture. You don't stand up in right way. You #bend forward and then try to stand. Please do exercise to keep yourself absolutely #straight."

I laughed and at the same time I cried, also at myself. This doctor is the first person in my life who is saying Madam, please #do not bend. I distinctly remember when I got married, my aunt, grandmother, and my mother advised me not to get into arguments with anyone at your # in-laws' house. My granny said, "There is no harm if you have to bend your #uprightness. This #adjusting(bending) nature of a woman helps her a lot in every odd situation."

She further said, "A woman's #bending capacity makes her whole family remain intact. She can get respect in her family. She can nurture her #relationship well."

I said to myself, "How much I have #bent myself from childhood onwards. All my dreams have shattered. In this slow #bending process. I have created so much #vacuum in my life. There is a# big gap between my wanted and unwanted wishes. My mind and my wishes both are #empty."

I further asked myself a big question. Does a woman have a spine or #vertebrate columns? I am confused about what the respected Doctor said.

This little article is dedicated to all# homemakers who #bend their needs, aspirations and #dreams to convert a house into a home and raise a #beautiful family with their hard work and #bending capacity at every front of life.

Do not Underestimate Mother

I am science teacher in government school. Mothers day was approaching.To celebrate same I asked my students to write on topic"Do Not Underestimate Your Mother".

One student wrote"It was winter time.we were traveling in car from Delhi to Dehra Doon to attend wedding of my cousin.Due to fog it was very difficult for driver to drive car.As of and on fog will settle on screen of our car.Use of viper was not helping to clear water drops from front glass of car.My mother gave small towel to our car driver on which she had spread one pouch of shampoo.She asked him to clean front seat glass and car mirrors with that small towel.Driver did the same.Due to use of shampoo in cleaning car glasses fog never settled on front glass sheet of car.Use of viper also became easy.Our driver was able to drive car smoothly as fog never became problem for him. The whole family was #amazed and ah !moment was experienced by whole family."

Another Student wrote"MY throat was soar.Dose of #antibiotic given by physician was not working.I was making preparations for IIT entrance examination. I was worried for same.My mother helped me by giving me turmeric milk with honey and water #melon seeds and made me eat the same at night before going to bed to sleep.Day by day gradually my throat infection decreased slowly slowly and finally disappeared. I was saved from side effects of strong antibiotics.In my prayers I thanked my mother for timely help and taking care of me so well that I could clear IIT #entrance examination with flying colors."

I pasted both above written pieces by students on notice board of school for benefit of children.

Moral-Mothers are magicians.Never #underestimate their powers.

Life Altering Habits

I am teaching science in a government school. I am in charge of of #co-curricular activities of my school.

Yesterday I was invited by a private school in the city to give a talk about Time to Change' to students of the school.

I said " Friends making changes in one's schedule, working habits, #spending habits and eating habits is always a difficult process. It requires a lot of effort and determination on one's part to do so. When one wishes to alter these habits, time for Change."

First, the simplest replacement that can be done in one's day-to-day life is to avoid taking #soft drinks in summer. I am not against soft drinks, but if one makes a habit of replacing them with #simple water, it is going to help in one's health benefits.

2 nd replacement, which can be done in one's day-to-day life, is to avoid #eating processed food like pizza, buns and pasta, etc and replace it with # home-made food.

3rd replacement, which can be done in one's day-to-day life, is to avoid #sleeping very late at night.

4th replacement, which can be done in one's day-to-day life, is to take #dinner before 7 pm. This habit gives enough time for dinner to #digest in one's body.

5th habit one must include in one's day schedule is to have honest dialogue with #Almighty. This activity takes out the dust deposited on one's soul. This also helps in # de-cluttering toxicity from one's personality.

6th habit one must include in day-to-day life is to do #charity in the form of helping #needy persons by giving them money, advice or #right knowledge.

7th replacement, which can be done in a day-to-day life, is to #greet people warmly who come to meet you. Respect #elders, even if you may have a difference of #opinion with them.

8th replacement, which can be done one in one's day-to-day life, is to practice #gratitude towards persons who helped you in any stage of life.

9th replacement, which can be done in one's day-to-day life, is to never show #ego in solving disputes or putting your viewpoint in front of others.

10th replacement, which can be done in one's day-to-day life, is to never #beg for money, love or respect from anyone. One should always take care of one's # self-respect and work hard on one's #personal skills. This habit will make one strong and #independent

Moral- Replacing negative emotions from one's #personality with positive ones helps one in becoming a #simple, strong and # peace-loving person.

Are You Getting Importance

I teach in a government school. My students come from diverse backgrounds. It's really satisfying for a teacher to help and educate #students.

Many of my female students suffer from an #inferiority complex. They say "Madam at home and even at #school nobody gives us importance." I always say, "Dear students, you are no less than anyone else at home or in school. I agree, everyone wants #attention. You are one of them. "

I further say, "it may be possible that #group in which you are moving those group members has more #problems to handle. Therefore, they hardly have any time to give #attention to you. Therefore, friends keep moving forward in the area of your #interest. Make yourself better day by day. Focus on yourself and on your #skills. One day, you will realize people wish to learn many things from you. "

Working on oneself gives one #confidence. There are many people you will meet in life whose sole aim is to demoralize everyone with whom they are associated. Please save yourself from such associates.

Always think that you are no less than anyone and keep working. Your hard work will show in your life in #many ways.

Moral -Always work on #oneself and never give your ear to any # gossip in your group.

Activities essential to get success

I am a science teacher in a government school. After teaching a small chemistry concept, as a home homework assignment, I ask students to read the #NCERT BOOK and write the description of the concept in their own words.

Reading-Writing-Doing

For example, to write the difference between #boiling and #evaporation, some intelligent students draw the #diagrams and also look into #u tube videos if possible and then write the #difference between the two above-mentioned concepts..As a teacher, always encourage and appreciate those students who use the internet in #positive way. I also inspire #other students to follow the same procedure to get #success in life. If time permits, I make #arrangements for students to show chemistry concepts in lab, which I taught in theory class. This activity gives them hands-on experience in life.

Some students do ask me ques question:" Madam, why are you so particular about our reading and writing habits?"

To answer those students about the same, I wrote a small article "Reading-Writing-Doing" for the benefit of my students and pasted the same on the notice board of my school. The same I am listing below for my esteemed readers.

Dear students, as a teacher, I wish my students to give a good description of anything or a phenomenon whenever they are asked to do so. Writing a good description of 'anything assigned" is a learned skill. One should learn this skill.A prerequisite for learning this skill is

1. Read a lot

2. Write a lot

3. Never hesitate to get hands-on experience for assigned positive activities in life

There are three relevant questions about above mentioned prerequisite.

1. How much to read

2. How practice of writing help one with how to write?

3. How does experimenting in the lab/in life/home front give one hands-on experience of learning by doing?

Answer to above mentioned questions if one gets in "yes" format, one is sure to get success in life.

To conclude, dear students, I, as a teacher, try my best to make my students answer above mentioned question in the yes format. That is the goal of my teaching. I hope you will now appreciate my concerns for

Moral-One can learn only by doing, even if it is reading, writing or hands-on experiences. One cannot succeed in life unless one reads a lot and writes a lot, and does hands-on experiments a lot.

Concept of chemistry correlation with emotions tea making

I am science teacher in government school. In winter in India some cities are really very #cold. Temperature goes quiet low around 4 #degree Centigrade. Therefore to deal with cold situation some teachers, after two classes quickly go for #masala tea before taking class. It really looks that sometimes in winter tea become #equivalent to life.

Thinking on these lines I wrote small article on #masala Tea vs Life for my students. I am listing the same for my respected readers.

For making #masala tea first step is to #boil one cup water ,with required spices like ginger, Cinnamon,lemongrass for a while. This first step in making of masala tea guides us to boil of #ego in life.

In second step in making of masala tea add #half spoon of tea leaves . In boiled water so that tea leaves get #simmered . This process is done on #low flame. There is evaporation of water on #surface of tea. #Evaporation of water in masala tea guide us to evaporate all #worries in life.

In 3rd step in making of masala tea is to add one third #cup of milk in it and simmer again on low flame. There is #evaporation of water on surface of tea and one can feel #good aroma of tea leaves combined with #cream of milk. The formation of white bubbles on surface of tea is sign of #evaporation of water consequently white milk cream

Tea is covered with lid for a while to extract more aroma of tea leaves.In this 3 rd step there is #dilution of milk in formation of tea. 3rd step in making of masala tea guides us for dilution of #sorrows in life. Try to forget sorrows in life.

4 th step in making of masala tea is #filtration of masala tea in hot surfaced cup. This step guides us for filtration of #mistakes in life.

Step one to four in making of masala tea is correlated with

1.concept of chemistry learned in high school #chemistry.

2 important emotions like #boiling of ego, #dilution of sorrows,#filtration of mistake and evaporation of #worries in one's life.

In chemistry -there is difference between #boiling and #evaporation. Boiling involves all the molecules of #water. While #evaporation is only involved at surface of water.

Similarly egos in life are negative emotions, there for at each moment in life one should not let ego enter in any #activity of life. Which indicates #ego should be #boiled of from one's #personality. .

Other correlation mentioned above in making of masala tea is #evaporation of worries. This guides one that worries are #surface emotions of one's personality. Therefore #worries from one's life should be #evaporated as fast as possible.

Moral-one's #emotions like worries,ego,mistakes and sorrows in life can be correlated with filtration, evaporation, dilution, boiling concept in chemistry and these further can be correlated to steps involved in making of peaceful life.
