Everyday is Beautiful

 Ruby aunty was my neighbor. She was a teacher in a primary school. Unfortunately, she lost her husband at a young age. She had five daughters to support. She was very courageous. I observed she would work hard on her daughters so that one day they could be on their feet. 

Unfortunately, I lost contact in between with her for about ten years. After a decade, I was so happy to meet her. She was as strong as she was ten years ago. Two of her daughters were married and doing very well in life. Ruby aunty did not forget to talk about her past hard days. She was hopeful that things would be positive for her and her daughters in the coming days. I was so happy that Ruby aunty is keeping her past intact with her and learning from her past. She also had hope of having a good future for herself and her family. 

While talking to Ruby aunty, I found how wonderfully she is still in contact with people who helped her in the past and who are helping her in the present. Her energy levels made me salute her. She was an efficient manager of her life. Her social skills are excellent there fore her every day is beautiful.

Professional Courses to Join

 One day, I was talking to my student at the #metro stationwhile going back from school to home.The student was very much confused. He asked me, "Wherever I go, many of my friends always discuss which academic orprofessional courses we should try to get into to make largeamount of money in the shortest time."I replied, See, dear student, earning money can be through

two channels

1. One gives one's services and in return gets paid.

2. One sells some material goods to others and, inreturn, gets money.

Earning in any way with honesty demands a lot of hard workand dedication.

Some #young minds may think of cheaper ways of earning fast money.For sure, my student, those ways may #fascinate one, but in the real sense, one can be behind bars one dayor another.

It is okay, one may earn less. But money earned in #legal way with honesty is best. Never think that job X is not suited because society thinks a particular job is very low. This is notright. One should lay hands on that particular job, where one feels #comfortable. That job in particular gives oneA lot of #satisfaction and one has the potential to expand one's job. 

 Moral of the Story: One should always follow one's passion Sincerely, money itself will flow.

Aging with Grace

Son - Mom! As you are getting old I am observing you are becoming #rich in various experiences.

Mom- yes son! I am becoming rich in other dimensions also. See dear! I have got #silver(precious metal) hair.

Son- yes mom! I do notice your tooth is covered with #golden ( precious metal) metal.

Mom- son! Do you know my blood is rich in #sugar also?

Son -oh I see Mom! You are diabetic now. You are taking medicines to control your blood sugar levels.

Mom- I have grown rich in #stones also.

Son – I know the other day you showed me small stones which the surgeon has taken out from #kidney.

Mom- son! They are not precious #stones.

Son- Mom! You are amazing. You explained all physical changes in your body with the help of appropriate #metaphors.

Mom -yes son! To make you understand all the changes I am going through at this old age I have put appropriate #analogy for each change.

Son -Mom! You are great. You are rich in experience, and rich in expressing emotions with appropriate analogy.

Mom -dear son! As a person gets old there are changes in the color of hair, the shapes of teeth, # the chemistry of blood, and the functioning of important #organs of the body.

Son-mom! doctors also recommend checking each of above mentioned changes in the body in the technical #laboratory.

Mom – son I have been doing so now and then. I am thankful to the almighty for these important indicators which help me to age gracefully

The Perfect Song in Making

 

In my life, there are times,

 Which leave deep scars,

In my heart.

On the canvas of my life,

In the Time domain,

 There are moments #broken,

Deep memories, painful and scattered.

I pray to God,

And request him very humbly,

Not to be angry with me,

 I further say God,

 Please do not give me,

 Difficult  examination,

To test my #wisdom,

 And understanding. 

I feel pain is a process,  a never ending.

But with  his gentle touch of healing,

 Inside some how process,

 Of pain and misery,

 Start closing.

How did it happen?

As a student of chemical physics,

 I name it as effects #quantum,

 A process of  pain,

 It's nothing but a strong song

 My life in making is going on.

God has mysterious plans,

 His ways of giving quantum,

 Effects are  straight and evident,

They start showing,

 As if my prayers are being answered.

I am convinced when pains,

 Are being encountered,

 In my life,

It is   nothing but time,

 When a perfect #melodious strong song,

 Of my life in making,

 Is ongoing.

Friends, please do not feel,

Scared of process pain,

 Just have patience,

You will find the results positive,

 Through quantum effects,

 of process pain.

Good Thoughts

 I was going for an invited talk to another school.My brain was busy and full of many different types of #thoughts.I hope my #thought goes well n my presentation .I hope questions asked in end by audience are good.

Some times I feel there are #messengers sent out by my mind which are my #thoughts, they shape my actions and deeds by which I #structure my life.

I  remembered my mother,  she used to say give your #thoughts a right  food.Always be #positive in your thinking.Be creative in your #thoughts. Wonderful things will follow from same.Since you are the one responsible for your #thoughts therefore always be simple and remain #honest with them.

Thoughts build your fate.In epic# Mahabharata warrior Arjuna was hesitant to fight as his train of #thoughts used to warm him"Arjuna how can you fight and kill your dear and near ones in fight".But on other hand lord Krishna's #thoughts were different.Krishna preached Arjuna and said"Dear Arjuna you are fighting for #dharma which is first duty to society and humanity."Arjuna's thought and Lord Krishna's thoughts shaped their #characters in epic Mahabharta.

To become good public #speaker or brilliant teacher one must organize one's #thoughts. One can make place and glory  in one's society through one's pure #thoughts.

Moral-Good #thoughts are one's best friends.Never betray them.

Examples of STEM to STEAM

I am #science teacher in a government school. My school principal, Madam, is trying to implement #STEAM discipline into the school. Before the Parents Teacher Association meeting principal said, "Sukarma, please give some real-life examples where #STEM is working #hand in hand with #STEAM."

My submissions were as follows

1.How #civil engineers(STEM) skill goes into designing celebrity #evening gown(STEAM). 2.How bakers beautifully #decorated cakes(STEAM) by knowing basic chemistry(STEM) . 3.How mathematical algorithm(STEM) find use in tik tok(STEAM) showing some lovely #dance performance. 

I have used (STEAM) by putting different types of #stale roti pasted with jam, different types of deserts on the #demonstration table to introduce my (STEM )lesson "benefit of #chemistry of stale roti, how it helps #stale roti in becoming #economical breakfast. "

Principal Madam was very happy to know how the interlinking of STEM a nd STEAM can enhance students' understanding of difficult STEM

Give Sometime to Yourself

My  friend Rekha does night duty at an IT company . Her husband is a gentleman. Rekha's husband does day duty in another company. It so happened that Rekha had to help her mother-in-law with day-to-day chores during the daytime. When her husband comes back home, she has to help her mother in law in a little task for preparing dinner. Somehow, Rekha hardly gets any rest in the daytime. Of course, she has to do night duty at the office.

On the phone, my dear student Rekha said, "I do not understand, Madam, why I always feel exhausted. "

I said, "Dear Rekha, mathematics involved in your day-to-day life #dynamic is very simple. You are working at night and therefore you should get a full 8 hours rest during the  daytime. But somehow you are not able to set your boundaries, therefore please put request at the home front that I need 8 hours rest to work #efficiently at home and #work front. To do so, please request your mother-in-law to arrange for #extra help for day-to-day work from outside. Presently, you are putting your stress under the carpet and trying your best to fulfill all duties assigned to you. In this process, you are putting yourself  physically and emotionally under stress. Please stop doing this."

Rekha said, "I understand that, Madam, you are telling me the truth about my day-to-day dynamics of my life. I have no courage to spell out my problem at home front  that I have limited energy and therefore will be able to do only limited work at home front."

I said, "Dear Rekha, it is high time you settle issues involving in your situation, and please unnecessarily don't put yourself in #stress. Please do not try to become  superwoman. Otherwise, my dear friend, you will buy some physical health issues. Which is not good for your personal health and for your family".

After two months, I got a phone call from dear Rekha, and she said, "Madam, slowly I am taking little steps for my self-care. It is helping me a bit. Sometimes I do say no to some activities of my daily life. That saves my time, and I utilize that time in self-care. Thank you very much for your kind advice."

I said, "Dear Rekha, please concentrate on self-care and the health of all family members and save yourself from unnecessary showbiz exercises. I know it is very difficult for women to do so. But I am sure one can try least. One never know , sometimes a little action taken for a  stress-free life may come in the right direction".

Rekha said, "I  say no to some #activities of my daily life. That saves my time, and I utilize that time in # self-care. Thank you very much for your kind advice."

I said, "Dear Rekha, please #concentrate on self-care and the health of all family members and save yourself from #unnecessary showbiz #exercises. I know it is very difficult for women to do so. But I am sure one can try least. One never knows, sometimes a little action taken for a # stress-free life may come in the right direction."

Moral-Woman's physical and mental well-being is correlated with her self-care. To implement the same, please do not hesitate to say no to some activities at the home front if circumstances compel one to do so.

Are We Following Unnatural Path

 I am a science teacher in government school. Many of my good students often come #late to school. They follow unnatural ways of work-life balance. They sleep late and get up late, therefore are often #late to school. 

In my co-curricular activity class, I talked to students on the topic" Are we following an unnatural path?"My submissions were as follows. 

"If we don't clean our teeth daily. They will start decaying- an example of a natural way. Similarly, if in primary classes we don't clear our fundamentals of science and maths, definitely our fundamentals for #STEM discipline will be #weak because of # unnatural planning. "

I further said, "We are following unnatural paths with nature also. We never care for #natural water springs. We have destroyed many #forests for our needs. Therefore, there is less availability of #trees, hence oxygen. Because of our #greediness in the name of #development, we have polluted our rivers and #oceans with #chemicals. So friends, we ourselves have impacted the environment with #unnatural paths. Consequences of our wrongdoings were shown to us in the form of the # COVID-19 virus in various forms in the years 2020 and 2021. People suffered like anything, Someway  Covid 19 was difficult to handle even by our health experts. Destructive impacts were strong, and their impact on the quality of life of everyone was very distinct. 

Moral - I hope we learn positive things from our wrongdoings, that is, following natural paths but not unnatural ones. Are you following natural paths?

Are you pushing yourself to body

 I am a science teacher in a government school. My students come from different socio- economical backgrounds, so it is a lot of fun to interact with them and teach them. 

I have seen many students who refuse to go on the science exhibition trip organised by the school. I always say, "These co-curricular activities are different from academic activities of school. They bring different aspects of life to you.  By participating in these extracurricular activities, you remain extra active. "

I tell my student a short story," When we die, we are just a body, as active life in us is no more. Simply not availing the opportunity to participate in music, sports competitions offered by the school simply means you are reducing the life inside you. You are trying to become just a body. "

Life is short, please live it to its full potential. Try to do the best possible and enjoy every moment of life. For every activity, please at least give it a try. Never say no without making efforts for an activity opportunity offered by the school. Are you participating  co curricular activities offered  at school.?

Moral- please do not push yourself extremely  to mere  body. Always try to get involved in positive activities offered by the school. Please manage your time accordingly.

Self Disciplined Person

 I am a science teacher in a government school. I find students are not self-disciplined, therefore they #encounter so many small problems in life. 

The other day I was talking to my students who miss the school bus and come to school in #private vehicle. I said, "Dear students, developing a strong sense of  # self-discipline is very important in life. Every person has #weak points in personality. Overcoming negative traits from one's personality is self-discipline.

I remember when my #domestic help would not come to my house. I really wished to help my mother with household #activities, but I realized I am not self-disciplined enough to do so. Gradually, I made sincere soul #efforts and within in few months, I self-disciplined myself and started #helping my mother. Every personality has natural tendency to take  shortcuts in life. One has to work extra miles to stop oneself from taking shortcuts in life. Then only one will be in a way to self-discipline. 

Self-discipline is embracing hardships and rising to challenges in life. One always encounters mental conflict in life. These can only be handled through #self-discipline. 

Will power always help one in attaining  self-discipline goals? Along with strong willpower, relaxation is also required. Are you also on path of self discipline?

Moral- one should try ones level best to play out of comfort zone in life to follow the path of self-discipline.

Cost effective Breakfast

 I fell asleep, and I saw round faced smiling piece come and started talking to me. I was surprised to see roti at my home, talking to me. 

I said, "Dear stale roti, how come you are here. "She said," I know I am stale roti and you are hesitant to consume me in breakfast. "She further said," Madam, I am unconventional choice for breakfast, but very nutritious. '

She said, "I have low glycemic index, and therefore it is good for diabetic patients. Due to the aging process, my carbohydrates break down partially, and therefore I become easier for people to #digest. I have good probiotics, compounds which nourish good bacteria in your gut. I am a neutral canvas, and anyone can paint me with jam, sauce and #butter. "

She further said, "Madam, you are a very busy woman, therefore I #humbly request you to consume this sustainable and cheap breakfast in form  of stale roti(me)."

I was taken aback, and it was time to get up. I thanked stale roti for being so kind to me. I again thanked her for educating me about her good qualities. 

Whenever I consume stale roti in breakfast, I remember this dream very vividly. I wish I could meet people like stale roti every day. Do you also believe  in taking stale roti in breakfast?

Moral-Though name is stale roti but it has hidden traits of helping everyone guts.It is used as cost effective  breakfast.

Make your own world

 

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

One day, my student Suman said, " Madam, we get  satisfaction when we feel we are doing the greatest thing in the world because we are doing what we love."

I said, "Dear Suman, for these things, motivation isn't required. What's essentially required is the will to act."

I further said, "Why do you wake up early every morning? Just because you've been told to wake up every day?"

Suman said, " Yes, we all . The daily routine of an average person (including us) has become part of our subconscious. And so are other things in life".

I said, "Suman, A man makes his own way. And all this happens because you have surrendered to your mind. I think you should rise above your mind, know yourself better, and make a choice."

Suman said, "We have to choose ourselves how to spend our lives. How we wish to. Because the greatest thing a man/woman can do is follow his heart.

I said, "Be a revolutionary in your own mind. Fight a battle with your mind, grow your conscience. You won't reach far ahead in life if you work only on days you feel better. Vivekananda says, "work for work’s sake. To act/create is the essence of nature. Nature is itself creation. Bring that nature into you."

I further said, "Now, since you're not doing anything concrete, you can choose anything you want! .Write a book, build an app  always wanted to work on, read something new, learn how to draw, make a film, or visit places. You can fail at what you don't want, so why not take a chance at what you want?"

My friend  Usha said, "Students, the motivation is like bathing. You need it daily. But the will, th is stronger. It becomes your purpose, the reason you're sent here."

I said, " Students, you know how a caterpillar becomes a butterfly? First of all, you should be willing to fly so much that you give up being a caterpillar. The risk of being a nobody should be more painful than the risk you’ll take to accomplish wonders."

Suman said, "So, just chill. Take a moment to let every clutter defog itself. Lose yourself, instead of trying so hard to fit yourself in this world that was never meant to be fit into. The most important thing is to make your own world in this world."

Moral - You must decide your life path. Decide it.   Break your comfort zone. Build your own world.   All you need is hard work, motivation, and willpower. The rest will follow.

Snapshot on social media

I am a school teacher in a government school. Our principal allows to bring mobile #phones to school. Students are very strictly instructed to use the same in rare emergencies. Most of the students go by this rule. They know this very well. If any student is seen making use of #mobile phone for #luxury, then there is a heavy fine that will be charged for the same. 

As a teacher, I have observed that students among themselves talk about photos loaded on social media. As a teacher I  find some photos cause #anxiety among students. Students try to compete with each other for the #collection of materialistic things. Which is not a good habit for teenagers. 

These important issues, my school principal, Madam,  raise in the ' parents-teacher meeting'. She counsels parents and says, "Parents should see to it that kids do not get attention of show business through social media photos. It is time for them to learn -reading, writing and using hands-on skills in the science lab. School is trying its level best to follow these rules. We teachers will be thankful to parents if they  cooperate in this endeavor of the school. "

Many parents do #co-operate, but some are not able to do so. Teachers' burden in this case becomes more as they have to teach #skills and subject #contents, and at the same time have to #mend children so that they remain away from #social media impact. 

Sometimes unknowingly, mothers of kids also talk about #photos on social media with their #kids without realizing that it is time for little pure #souls to gain some knowledge in #science, maths, languages and #communication skills. As a teacher think this can be #avoided. 

Moral-Small children are like unbaked pitchers. We as teachers and parents should try our best to equip little angels with good manners, good reading and writing habits and communication skills.
