Amount of hard work gone from field to plate

 Many people think #food that comes to their plate is just a dead, ordinary and cooked #material. 

Obviously, it is not. Farmers work hard day and night and produce clean, healthy #crops.

Crop is processed and sent to market for trade, from the market it comes to the individual kitchen, and it is cooked with lots of effort, precision and love by the cook or chef and comes to our plate. Before taking #food, one should acknowledge gratitude to God, farmers, mothers and cooks. That train of forces has not only #monetary aspect but #emotional and #spiritual aspect that makes our food so precious, delicious, which may look dead to some persons but becomes #miracle when consumed by the human body. Food fulfills the hunger needs of every soul. This food gets converted to energy. This energy makes humans do mental and physical work. Therefore, one is advised to use that ₹₹energy for doing positive karma. 

In the epic of the Mahabharata, Lord Krishna also advised Queen Draupadi to never #waste food, even if it is one rice. Food is a unique #manifestation of God. 

This is a reason in Hindu #dharma we pray to God for giving us enough #food at the right time with the support of our family and many noble souls, with whose help we get #food on our plate. 

Food should not be #wasted. It should be taken care of as we take care of money. Sharing #food with needy people is a blessing. Humans should also take care that while consuming their own #food, they should see that other species present on #planet should also get their due food. For human survival, other species present on the planet must also survive. 

Moral: Let us bow down to food on our food plate before consuming it. Never forget to share food with needy persons.

Life Path and relationships

  I am a school teacher in a government school. I am in charge of the co-curricular activities of the school. My students come from various backgrounds.

I keep advising my # teenage students from time to time. Teens are a very #crucial age for any student; there are physical changes in the body, and there are many emotional ups and downs in life. Some students get moral support from #family friends. Therefore, they are a little uncomfortable to #adjust in their teenage years.

Many of my students somehow do not get support from family and friends, which they are supposed to get. #School is a unit that gives those students emotional support so that they can face the #coming changes in their lives.

I said, "Dear students, there are different types of #relationships one faces in one's life. At the same time, one has to walk in one's path of life. It is possible that the path may not be linear. Sometimes the path of life becomes #complicated and non-linear in nature."

My student  Radha said, " Madam, relationships can be between siblings, teacher and students, parents and children, and others can be between friends. One has to act wisely and honestly to make #bridge of the relationship strong and wonderful."

I further said, " Another important factor which is important and should be taken care of is that when one walks on #life path, it gets highly correlated with relationships and forms new forms of relationships. Therefore, friends, please keep walking on your #life path with a lot of determination and nurture and build your relationship with love and #affection. In this exercise quality of joy one gets is unique."

Moral-Joys are like #fragrance of chandan. When one pastes chandan wood on the forehead of others, amazingly, one's hand #fingers also get the fragrance of the same.

Chanting of RamRam Equation

 It is a spiritual belief that chanting the name of Lordis Ram helps everyone in every circumstance in life. 

But there is deep meaning in the chant of the name Ram. By chanting Ram Ram, one can go to the temple daily. But that is not enough; having spiritual dialogue with Ram is a must, which makes one's soul noble. 

Chanting of Ram means to make your soul pure like Ram and never give up devotional service as Lord Ram did to the people of Ayodhya. 

Chanting Ram means remaining in one's limit  of culture and finance, etc. 

Chanting Ram means in the world from materialistic things remaining detached and believing in sacrifice for others. 

Chanting Ram has no indulgence in politics of any issue. In a world of so many dreadful activities, remaining calm like Saint Buddha. 

Everyone believes we are part of Ram; they must follow all commands written above, shown by Lord Ram. 

If that is so, as mentioned above, it means one is contributing toward building Ram Rajya. That means fair treatment to each person of the state if one is poor, rich, downtrodden, needy, emotionally unstable, learned or not knowing any world wisdom

If I put in mathematics language, it means if one tries to solve so many variable with one wonderful equation, that equation is called Ram Ram---

Let me go

 My cousin Asha lives in a foreign country. Her parents used to live in India. Asha will call her parents every month. With time, Asha became busy with her in-laws' family and children. She used to call her parents on the phone after two months.

One Sunday, Asha called her parents on the phone. It so happened that her #mother picked up the phone. Up to Asha's surprise, her mother was in a totally different #mood. Asha was confused to hear what her mother was talking about on the phone.

Asha's Mother said, "Dear Asha, I have come to #end of my life journey road. I am so happy you are doing well in your life. Please keep working hard #honestly".

Asha, "What are you saying, Mom? Why are you so different today?".

Mother said, "My life sun is going to #set very soon. Please stop worrying about me. Please do not #remember me very often. I know you are missing me. I request you, please do not #gloom when I leave this world. Rather feel happy, a noble soul is #set free. Remember the #love and heart-to-heart talks we shared."

Asha said, "Mom, you are in my heart, and even though you are so far from me, you are there every #moment  with me."

Mother said, "My child, you know that this #last journey I have to take #alone."

She further said, "Dear Asha, take care of your family. When you feel #lonely and #sick at heart. Please visit to dear friends who know me and share all the lovely #memories of things we used to do as mother-daughter duo. Please do not miss me. In doing so, you will not let me go #peacefully".

It was time for Asha to prepare to go to school. Alarm bell was ringing. Asha Woke up. At the same time, a phone call came from India, "Mother is #no more!. She is set for her #last journey".

Asha's ear could not believe her ears. Echoes of her words in her dream"#Miss me not, my child. Let me go #peacefully home."

A moral person's life journey is full of ups and downs. Everyone's last journey is unique in the sense that one has to travel #alone in that journey.

Revised Learning through Hardships

 I am teaching science in a government school. Sumitra is our #old student. She came to school to attend the #alumni Association function. I was so happy to meet her after a long time. Sumitra is a special #student in the sense that she is married to the most sincere #IAS officer of the country. So whenever school has some #administrative problem, Sumitra's generosity always helps the school with some #amicable solution. 

Sumitra said, "Madam, I am very happy with my life. My children are doing well in life. I have one big #regret in life that is after marriage, I resigned from a #good job(lecturer ship). I never thought any time to #increase my skills after marriage. If I wanted, I could have done so. I was #misguided by my own thoughts that I would get the respect of the chief guest's wife, then where is the need for #working hard? But madam, I no longer enjoy that. I regret that I myself lost my #identity because I was scared of facing a little # hardship. Now I know madam hardships make women #strong. I started enjoying my comfort zone. I remember you, Madam Sukarma(sukarma.thareja.knp@gmail.com ), so much. You strongly #advised me not to forgive my #identity and to make sure you add some #technical skills to your personality. Madam, I was ignorant and never thought of your advice #line of thinking. Time lost can never #come back. "

I said, "It's ok, Sumitra, one can never walk in time, which is #gone. Since you are relatively free now still you can still search for an #activity that gives you satisfaction. Please #work on that if possible."

Sumatra said, "Believe me, Madam Sukarma. It's so nice to do a # heart-to-heart talk with you. I have very few people in my life with whom I can do so. It has given so much #relief and peace today. "I blessed Sumitra from the core of my heart and wished for her a successful and peaceful life. " I was also very happy to be part of Sumitra's conversation, and I could make her a little distressed.

Day Dreaming diabetic Friendly dish

 When I was a small child, I used to # daydream a lot. Sometimes I will #share my day #dreams with my sister. She thought # daydreams would not let #daydreamer focus on the goals of life. 

Once at my aunt's house in #Gujrat, I saw #raw dates. I noticed nobody was able to #relish them as they are a bit #bitter in taste. While walking in the garden, I had a daydream about #raw dates. It gave me #creative idea that since raw dates are #alkaline in nature and have less sugar # content, therefore sweets made from them will be #diabetic friendly. 

I went to the kitchen and mixed milk with small pieces of #raw dates and also mixed some #dry fruits and boiled the milk mixture till it #thickened, and with the help of coconut powder, I made a sweet laddoo. Everyone relished sweets. I said, "Aunty, this sweet is #diabetic friendly as the sweet #content is less and #organic in nature. 

Everyone was surprised by how I got #idea of such a good #recipe. I said, "All this is because I daydream. "

Moral- Daydreaming makes one very #creative and #productive.

Eclipsed Relationships

I am a science teacher in a government school. In my # extracurricular class, I asked my students, "What do you understand by #developed/developing the nation?"

Students came out with many interesting #answers. One student said, "A developed nation has a good #economy, #average income per resident is reasonably good. "Another student said," Madam, #infrastructure in developed nations is run by #advanced technology. Robots do much work in factories. "

I said, "Dear students, today I am going to talk to you about another dimension of a developing/developed nation. #India is not considered a developed nation because there is vast income #inequality among citizens of our country. Moreover over there is a lack of #educational opportunities for citizens. "

I further said, "In India, there is a growing trend of people migrating from villages to #urban areas. 

There is a lack of employment opportunities among qualified citizens; therefore, in a family unit, #husband and wife are not able to find jobs in #same cities. This arrangement is making #split in families. Children of these families grow up with #different value system. Due to the same reason, children of one family are #residing too far away from their #parents. Due to these arrangements, there is a feeling of insecurity among citizens. Sometimes  you find relationships  are eclipsed.

All above mentioned questions make one think what do we mean by a developing/developed nation. 

How to find work-life balance in a developing/developed nation is a big question. To find A satisfactory answer to this question, we still have to find

Act of self creation

 The language we cultivate within ourselves becomes the invisible architecture of our reality. Every thought we reinforce and every word we repeat shapes the perception through which we navigate life. That is why choosing our words consciously is not just communication—it is an act of self-creation.

The distinction between a fact and a frame feels much bigger than it first appears. A missed opportunity, a failed attempt, or a difficult season can remain a single event for years, yet the meaning attached to it often keeps growing long after the event itself is over.
The examples around discipline, success, health, and happiness all seem to point toward the same pattern: many of the struggles we carry are not only shaped by what happened, but by the story that gradually forms around what happened. A single setback can become evidence of failure. A difficult season can become proof that something is wrong. Over time, the frame begins to feel as permanent as the fact itself.
The line about asking, "Is this a fact, or is this a frame?" felt especially powerful because it creates a pause between the event and the conclusion. Sometimes that pause is where change begins—not because reality changes, but because we finally notice the lens we've been looking through.

Inviting Yourself

I am a science teacher at school. Our school organised a #national science exhibition. It was a big responsibility for the science department and #science teachers of the school. Many participants were coming from different schools in the nation. The school has to make #arrangements for the boarding of students and teachers coming to participate in the science #exhibition. 

The school divided students into different #groups and every group was assigned different duties, like which rooms to be #allotted to which school. What type of food to be served in breakfast, #lunch and dinner, etc. Arrangements for #availability of clean water were at the top priority.

To make students prepare for said activity. I had a meeting with my #students. I said, "Dear students, #participants who are coming from different parts of the #nation are not only our guests, but we aim to get involved in #cultural exchange with them. We must educate ourselves on the good personality traits of our guest, like good habits, ways they are working on their science fundamentals, the way they are participating in their science labs, extracurricular activities, etc. All this will benefit you a long way in #life. The way our guest participants present #science experiment results through slides, one should sincerely learn the good format. In the end, I concluded my discussion by saying, "Remember, #friends participate are 'visiting to yourself'. So welcome them with an open heart. Make their stay comfortable. "

Our students agreed to the school's suggestions. All students #worked on plans assigned to them by involving themselves wholeheartedly in #science exhibition activity. Our #principal madam praised the students, teachers of the school for making #national science exhibition a successful event. Many # newspapers covered the event in #big way and published a report of the science activity. Students were #happy as they benefited in the # academic sphere and got a good platform for #social interactions.

Micro Green

  I am your #micro green. Do you recognize me said little #seed. I am #special in sense that if it is #cold out side you can #grow crop of my #sprout -micro green. 

I am your # microgreen. Do you recognize me said little #seed. I am #special in the sense that if it is #cold outside, you can #grow a crop of my #sprout -micro green. 

You may be wondering what #sprout is. 

I am led with #hidden treasure. If you supply me with little # moisture, warmth and #air and of course little #care, I will #swell in your tray with joy, and I will become #sprout with root and shoot. My shoot can be lengthened by a few cm. I am packed with life #vital force and am full of protein, fiber and #antioxidants. 

With simple #rewarding efforts, one can put a handful of #soaked (12hours)seeds in a #clean jar and keep them for 8-10 hours. Cover the jar with a #muslim cloth. Keep the jar in #cool, dry place where direct #sunlight does not come. Within a few hours, one can see #sprout shoot coming out. After a full day, #sprout shoot length will increase, and the jar will be full of long fr, fresh #healthy #nutritious sprouts. 

Friends since sprouts are full of #minerals, they contribute to the #health and well-being of humans. 

I use moong #sprouts in making #idly, poha, upma, #stuffed paranthas. Children love it. My #western friends are so fond of my stir-fried moong sprouts. The same I spread on #stale roti to make cost cost-effective, healthy breakfast. 

Moral of story-To make cost-effective healthy food, one should make #maximum use of #sprouts of different types of beans in food .

Cleaning Mind

 I am a science teacher in a government school. Every year in our school we cel Cleanliness Week. It's fun, and children do this activity with all sincerity. 

In my extracurricular activity class, I thought I should give students a new dimension of the same. 

I said, "Friends' cleanliness is something near to God. As we have cleaned our school, similarly, it is good to declutter our home. This activity gives new spaces in the home that can be utilized for good activities for children. Decluttering gives us positive energy. On the same wavelength, we should declutter our minds also. The only way to do is to work toward building att attitude of forgiveness toward everyone. To build a calm mind best activity is to meditate every day for a while. Meditation makes the mind peaceful and strong. It gives everyone energy to build a positive attitude in life.

Accepting Change

 Life is a roller coaster. Life is not a linear process. It is a # non-linear process. There are ups and downs in everyone's life. Associated with ups and downs is change. 

My friend Gita was #expecting her first child she was scared of #physical changes in her body. I said, "Gita, please consider this change happily, as this is for your good only. You are going to have your own family. Children are a bundle of joy. So please #embrace this change, and don't feel threatened. " I suggested Gita take a nutritious diet. Go for a walk daily. This is a must for making this change comfortable ".

Another friend, Namrta, happened to get married in a different city. She was hesitant that she might not get a job in that city. I said," Namrata #change is a must in life. Be positive about #change. #Change is a learning opportunity."

To Namrata's surprise, in the new city she got a better job than her previous one, and it was much near to her house. She was so happy because with a baby to take care of at home changed her a lot. It saved her a lot of energy and money. During lunch time, she could come home and see her baby. She could attend to her baby's small needs. 

Namrata said, "Sukarma! You were right, one should not be afraid of #change in life. See, as per your advice, I embraced #change with a positive attitude. That has made me strong and wise, and to some extent, there is an increase in my wisdom of day-to-day life".

Moral - #change is there in everyone's life in one form or another. It can be physical, emotional and financial. The best is to embrace it. #Learn from it. That is going to contribute positively to one's personality.

Yelling at kids

I teach in govt school. One day, I was going home on the #metro train, and I met my old student Ankita in #train. 

My friend was looking very #tense. I asked her the reason for her being so tense. She said, "Madam, my son is 5 years old. Every #morning, he makes so much fuss about going to #school. It is time for me to make breakfast. Due to #frustration of work and other factors contributing, I #yell at him. That makes me sad".

I said, "Ankita yelling at kids is not a respected #parenting technique.#Patience is key. Please maintain your #calm. Instead of yelling, if you try to #convince your son that please be #prompt, otherwise you will miss the school bus. #Yelling is a short-term goal. Making children understand the urgency of #situation in a calm atmosphere has a long-term #impact on children. Please practice #meditation to become a calm parent. I request you, Ankita, please be patient with your son when you are giving #toilet training. Ankita's small children's nervous system is sensitive, therefore #yelling may have a bad impact on the child. 

Moral of the story- yelling is not a good technique for #parenting. It is considered to be #destructive for the child. Better is to show #patience while teaching good #manners to #kids.

Philosophy of Ikigai

 I am a teacher in school. In our extra-curricular class, the school invited Mr. Ikigami. He was #visitor to our school. He was on #mission to collect data for STEM projects of the government school in India. 

Mr Ikigami talked to students about the #ikigai philosophy. He said the ikigai belief is an open-minded attitude towards life. Ikigai philosophy directs one to show #empathy toward oneself, others and to anything which exist on earth (parks, trees, museums, rivers, oceans, animals, etc.) Ikigai believes that one who #enjoys and respects small things is sure to go up in #ladder in life. 

Ikigai believes in #respecting the experience of elders and, of course, elders. #Elders believe in the complete transfer of #values to the younger. That is the reason that in Japan, in cities and societies, people are happy, and the happiness quotient among #citizens is high. This is the reason people in Japan have a happy #long life. 

In conclusion, Mr Ikigami said, "Ikigai can be considered to have circles of love, passion, #mission, knowledge, #duties, values, profession and #vocation. Ikigai is a big overlap of above mentioned circles. "

Our principal madam thanked Mr Ikigami for giving a wonderful talk about ikigai and said," By practicing #powerful philosophy of ikigai, every individual indirectly is dedicating to the mighty #unconditionally."

U Turn in Life

I am a science teacher at school. Students come from different backgrounds. Some students come to school in their own vehicles, and some come in public transport. 

Some of these teenage students sometimes feel #inferior to other students as they are not able to perform well in # academics compared to other students. 

I say "Students, please work hard and never have superiority or inferiority complex at any stage in life. A friend's life is like a parade, when there is a command of U-turn, the first person in the queue becomes the last person. Please have faith in yourself and keep #working continuously ".

Many of my students have agreed to my suggestions and have done very well in life. 

Moral of the story

Life is uncertain and unpredictable and #non-linear in nature. Consistent, honest, and hard work always help in handling every problem of life.

Weight on Heart

I am a science teacher in a government school. Many of my students are not disciplined in their #eating habits. They believe in eating from #outside more; therefore, they face many challenges in life. 

To educate those students, I wrote a small piece to educate same, "If we improve, we can improve the world around'

Same, I am listing below for my esteemed readers

We are all trying to #peep into the bad habits of each other, but nobody is worried to peep for one's bad habits. Every one wants a positive change in the world, but no one is ready to bring positive change in oneself. Everyone is busy educating others, but no one is ready to educate oneself. No one is ready to acknowledge that if one improves, then only the world will improve. 

Moral of the story -If somehow "one's weight has increased, please restrict the diet and concentrate on proper exercise".If somehow the weight on the heart has increased, please meditate."

I am science teacher in government school. After teaching every chapter I give my student assignment, #numerical to check how much degree of particular #concept taught by me is understood by #students. I always appeal to students and say'please do not #copy assignment. Students #truth will come out one day Or other. By #copying assignment you Are not #cheating your teacher. In fact you are cheating #yourself. " very natural students fight "with each other on one issue or other. It is ok every one has right to put facts in terms of #argument. I feel sad when students use #filthy language in format of argument and some students go to extent of #bullying each other. Both mode of putting one's self #thoughts are not acceptable. I say "students please save your self from using filthy or #Unparliamentry language. Ultimately it will become your #way of life. You may like to change this later in your life but it will be very difficult to do so. So students it is high time you take care of these #unacceptable habits. "

Sometimes I find that some students are not able to submit assignment in time but instead of #apologizing they give vague excuses for doing so. Inspite me telling stories to give them advise ,they lack this #skills in their personality. Some time I appeal respected #parents and take their help to achieve my goals of incorporating good communication  #skills among my students. Depending upon #parents response , I do achieve good results. 

Moral -Always let your #tongue to speak truth. If respected parents help teachers in this difficult shared educational #endeavor of improving students these #efforts can give much #better results.

Science Arts Writing A help to Grasp Science Concept

 I am a science #teacher in collegeI did  Ph.D in chemistry. I wrote many research papers in good journals.As a science teacher, I realised that chemistry research, as we report in good journals, can only be of use to experts in the field.

 In other words,we as researchers have our limitations.We somehow must reach the masses andConvey our research results. With this aim in mind, I started doing science arts writingand wrote the book "Science of Life and nature : photo poetry collection."Digital link to my book and my website, where I have loaded my poems, which I wrote to teach my respected students are listed below.

 I made educational digital collages to educate my students. It was a lot of fun conveying difficult Science results more simple way. I still write on my blog(Sukarma Musing) on blogspot.com. I also write blogs about Science a teaching methods. 

I aim to write for students in the form of liberal arts, where they get answers to questions like why, when so etc. This writing give my students' ways to face a difficult future complex Life.

I am a science teacher at school. Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, which stands for STEM, is a discipline offered in my school. 

Our principal, Madam, is trying to get STEAM offered in my school. Slowly, we teachers are trying to introduce the arts in explaining science subjects, Technology and Mathematics. 

First activity we introduced encouraging students to make educational art collages to write and explain a summary of the topic taught in class. 

2nd activity we organised in school is to write #poems about concepts taught in class. 

3rd activity we organised is #drama or play on stage by students to explain the concept taught. Recently, we science teachers explained the covalent bond to students through drama. 

Arts makes the STEM concept easier to explain. Introducing art in STEM no longer makes the concept very dry. It makes students culturally rich and close to the community. It helps them develop high EQ. 

Once students get interested  in subject through arts, then students  feel comfortable in learning of STEM. The goal is to make students  motivated to learn subject concept. Arts plays best role to do so.Therefore  STEAM  is useful for students  and teachers.

Let Children Resolve Their own issue

I am a science #teacher in a government school. With the grace of God, I am grand-grand-grand-grandmother to little kids who go to #primary school.  Whenever I get time, I visit my #grand children very fondly. I do help them, advise them in their #work and problems which they #face in day-to-day life. But my strong observation is that children find out the ₹solution to their own problems, and that path makes them #wise, strong individuals. To #support my observations, my submissions are as follows.  1. My grandson is prone to #allergies. As soon as winter #starts, he will start getting a little #cough. treatment with #antibiotics does not help him much. But still he used to believe in taking #antibiotics instead of turmeric milk, suggested by me, an ayurvedic remedy to #boost the immune system of the body. But suddenly he realised whenever he takes #turmeric milk at night, he gets relieved of #symptoms of cough. To our surprise whenever he faces problems of cough, he himself reminds his mother and says"Mom kindly serve me a hot one cup turmeric milk before sleeping, as I get benefited from same" Moral- one can give #suggestions to handle the problem child is #facing, but the best solution to problems comes from #children themselves. Therefore, parents should give children enough #space and time to #resolve their own problems.  Sukarma Thareja  Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1521260060 🌐 Website: https://sites.google.com/site/drsukarmaranithareja/home  ✉️ e-Mail: sukarma@iitk.ac.in

Decreasing Screen Time

 During the summer holidays, we went with our teenage daughter and son by road. Normally, whenever we go for a road trip, my daughter will use i iPad for her queries to be answered through the internet, while my son will be playing video games. My husband will be doing his office work. In this exercise, we all four of us will remain disconnected from each other in spite of traveling in the same car.

I consulted my kids and husband, how about if we decrease our screen time to zero and listen to a spiritual audio book of the Hindu epic Ramayan.

All three agreed to my logical suggestion. My children said," We have little glimpses of the Ramayana epic as dear dadi used to tell us stories of the same.

As the audio story of Ramayana developed children's curiosity toward Ayodhya, little Rama(Ram lala), which is in the news nowadays, also developed to a great extent. After every break for lunch and bathroom during the trip, both children will ask small questions about the important character  Lord Rama and his brother Laxman, Bharat and Shatrughan. 

I told the children our country got the name "Bharat after the name of Bharat." The road trip was full of fun as children asked many questions about Bali and Sugreev and Angad, and Ravana. 

 First, it seemed strange to me to implement a no-screen-time policy during our road trips, but I found we feel more connected to each other without the screens — even if it means we are less connected to the rest of the world for those hours in the car. But the spiritual Ramayana epic we enjoyed a lot through an audiobook. And expressed our gratitude to the mighty for being so kind to us.

Please Do not be Copy Cat

 I had a friend, Asha, in #school. She was a good teacher, but was never # content with whatever she had in life. 

 Her husband, Mr. Goyal, was a successful businessman, and an abundance of money and wealth surrounded her. Asha lacked peace, not money.

I was  astounded by the way Asha spent money in the #market. She was a copycat. She would buy things that her #relatives had, #purchased costly dresses she saw her college friend wearing on Facebook. She had no idea whether those dresses suited her or not. She #desired the same style crockery in her kitchen. She already had plenty at #home.

She bought all the stuff #without thinking. 

She invited me to her house I saw overflowing #cupboards filled with beautiful yet seemingly #useless things. 

She will say, "Madam, my day starts #accumulating things here and there in the house and ends by arranging them in cupboards. "

She could never look at #horizons beyond her material acquisitions attitude. She never believed in experience and sense of satisfaction, and peace. She was restless all the time. Disturbed and anxious, too.

I requested her not to be so materialistic. I suggested she spend time and money on her health programs. I also suggested she be outgoing and get involved in well well-being of #orphan children. 

I am so happy she agreed to my #suggestions. Now Madam Asha is a very popular and #respected teacher of our school. She is ready to render helping #hands to the needy. Asha is changed #person. I am so happy that she has learnt to spend her resources and energy in positive way. She is a calm and composed person now

Worshiping God

 My friend Sudha always plucks flower from my garden to give to God in her temple.

My gardener do not like Sudha doing so.

Indirectly  I request Sudha not to pluck flowers as my Gardner get upset for same.

But she strongly believe flowers get honored when they are put on idol of God.

My gardner says" Sudha Didi you are worshiping God by putting flowers on idol of God.

He further  says " It is an insane activity as you are destroying beauty of flowers created by God.What type of worship is this I do not understand. "

I also believe flowers are essential part of plant which help in reproduction.Moreover flowers are very important  part of beautiful environmental  plucking flowers means we are destroying  environmental. There fore while using flowers  for worshiping ,on one hand your pleasing God and on other hand your destroying  environmental  created by God.This is not logical. I hope my friend Sudha will understand meaning of this logic which help in sustainability  of an environment.

Sustainable Fashion

I am a science teacher in a government school. The other day I was # shopping in a ready-made #garments shop. I met my old females #students in the shop, who had come to shop for ready-made garments for the #marriage of their friends. 

One student said, "Madam, we have so many ready-made garments with us which are #brand new, but we have to follow the unwritten norm of the #group. "

I said, What is that norm? Please let me know. One student said," Madam, for  every function one should buy new dress, otherwise it is understood by group members that we are being  miser and missing the fun of  occasion. "

I said, "Dear student, it is no harm  to repeat a dress for more than one  occasion. That shows you believe in #sustainability of fashion."

Another student said," Madam, by practising #sustainability in garments, we are saving our environment."

Another student said, "Being students of science, ma'am, we know all garments originate from trees. The more garments we throw as #rejected materials, it means more trees of the environment we are #destroying".

Another student said, " Thanks, madam, for #educating us. We #promise you we will practice #sustainability of fashion in the future also. "

I thanked my students for #agreeing to my scientific, logical suggestion.

Managing Emotions

 I was a good student of my class in my school. My class teacher had given me the duty of managing my class if, by chance, a teacher is not able to arrive in class because of some emergency academic duties. 

Initially, I found it difficult, and because of this, I used to feel uneasiness in my stomach. I complained about this to my grandmother. My granny said, "My child, you are passing through a challenging phase of mending your class. So anxiety is causing all this."

I was about 10 years old and could not understand, but now I am old and am handling so many responsibilities of the family and academic front. Now I know how important it is for a person to have a high emotional quotient in life. Being a mother and teacher, I try my best to inculcate high EQ among my children and students. 

To do so, I often ask my students to write an essay on how they will manage and help the crowd in flood areas. What arrangements should one make for disaster management? 

Some students are academically lower in some subjects. Helping attitude made bridges among students. That brought harmony in my classroom. Managing one’s emotions is critical in the game of life. Learning to manage those emotions starts at a very young age, and one should practice it throughout one's life. 

Moral- To maintain high EQ in one's personality, one should practice empathy and gratitude very often, depending upon circumstances.

Most Useful Asset of Person

 I am a science teacher at school. For an extra # co-curricular activity, I held a little discussion in my class. I asked my students, " What is the most useful asset for a person. "

Students came out with many positive answers. One student said, "If one happens to do #B. Tech computer science, data analysis, electric science, and have good knowledge of the subject, surely those #individuals are going to be assets for the nation. "

Another student said, "Persons who are dedicated #leaders and have #vision of helping people, are assets to the nation".

Another student said, "People who are involved in #building infrastructure of the nation without being involved in #corrupt practices are jewels of the nation."

I concluded the discussion by saying, " Friends! Most useful assets are persons, not heads full of knowledge, but hearts full of love, an effective ear to listen and more than willing to help others.

Never Die Attitude

 I am a science teacher at school. Many students from class eleven go for private # tuition to clear the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) 

My student Sudhir Sharma was very hardworking. He was also trying his best to clear JEE. Somehow, he could not #clear JEE. He came to me and said, "Madam, my dreams are shattered. "

I said, "Sharma, you can spend another year on JEE #preparation if you wish".

Sharma said, " No, madam, I will join B. Tech #computer science in a private engineering college. After completing this, I will prepare for the national test. "GATE(Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering). "

I said Sharma please don't give up. " With hard work and dedication, you still can clear #GATE. "

Other students told me "Madam Sharma is doing part part-time job in a factory after attending his regular classes inprivate engineering college. On weekend ends, he goes for coaching of GATE. "

After completing his B. Tech, Sharma took a small job in a company and in 3 rd attempt, he #cleared GATE and got into M. Tech program at IIT Gowhati. I was so happy for his #never die attitude. 

Moral of the Story- When performance overtake ambition, one gets success. Best is to work on one's performance and walk towards one's #ambitions.

Do you believe in costly present

 I am a science teacher in a government school. In the era of science and technology, every event,# occasion, big or small, is associated with giving #material present or receiving material presents. No doubt both activities of giving or receiving presents give very #unique goodwill. 

Actually give and take of presents is a symbol of love #associated with a person.

  I am not against costly presents. My personal observation is that if one believes in giving #costly presents, then the fun of the occasion does not remain to the same level. Some people always expect #costly presents, which may not be possible #every time. I feel that this activity sometimes gets converted to #commercial activity of giving and taking. Then the meaning of the present gets lost somewhere. Sometimes # goodwill is also lost. 

Format to make goodwill

I strongly believe that #giving one's time to help someone is the best present one can give. I also strongly believe that if one happens to give a material present, it  may generat good will  but #time given to someone can not be generated again.

I also strongly believe that if someone has travelled all the way to wish me well, certainly he/she have spent energy and time, I must respect him/her. It's ok if she/he has not brought a material present for me. But unfortunately, many people do not understand this precious deep #philosophy of life.

I have also observed that many people avoid meeting their #loved ones in person as they are not in a position to give a material present which they once upon a time have #happen to receive from the same. Some people  make this issue very strong which look ugly also. Unfortunately they understand meaning of relationship  through this window of transaction.

Some people believe in giving cash instead of material presents. The philosophy behind this is that one can buy anything with the money that one thinks one needs. 

I personly feel costly present or gift some times creat walls instead of bridge in relationship.  Costliest present, according to me, is to help others at a #difficult time. 

Moral -Presents - gifts   given in the form of #material or cash are a symbol of one's love or #respect for others. The best is that one should avoid finding out gift value in terms of #cash. Doing this sometimes creates difficult and #hard feelings for each other. The best is never ever get into this type of circle of #transaction which sometimes  make relationship  bitter.

IQ and EQ Quote Sukarma Thareja

 Life is a game of balancing between intelligence quotient [IQ] and Emotional quotient [EQ]. Educators should develop the overall  personality of students by inculcating playful tricks of building higher IQ and EQ in students in their teaching methods.

Without Relationship

 I teach science in school. Many students of my class eleven go for #private coaching in physics, chemistry and maths. Many students move in #group. Some students are in the habit of not sharing #solutions to problems given in their coaching center. They think that by doing so, they will be #ahead of other students. In a way, they are in no mood to be in a good #relationship with other students in the group. 

I tell "my students be open-minded and share problems # solutions with your friends that will make you wiser. "

I further said"students please don't think #relationship is a degree or diploma to start and end in 3to 4 years. It is a lifetime #course, not just to study but to feel and #live".

One student said, "Yes ma'am, when we grow up, we will have #memories of this time. Of course, we will have many #stories of this time. But Madam, if we do not have a #relationship, all these above-mentioned activities are of no use. "

Moral of the story. Please #nurture a relationship like a #plant and enjoy the fruit of it.
