Light from Different Diyas

Suresh and Rakesh were neighbors. Both were classmates also.

On Diwali day it so happened Suresh decorated his house with #earthen lamps. While Rakesh lighted his house with lamps made of #gold and copper. Due to this Suresh could go out of his house and wish happy #Diwali to all his friends at night itself. But Rakesh could not go to wish his friends "Happy Diwali", as there was an instruction from his mother that he has to take care that not even a single diya made of gold and copper should go missing.

Suresh was very #anxious as he knew 22 carte gold is about 7K per #gram. Even copper diyas are also costly. After Diwali Suresh and Rakesh came to school. There was a discussion in class is earthen diya is better than diya made up of pure gold or copper metal .

One student Pushpendra said" According to me earthen diyas, are better as they do not get #heated up that easily, while golden and copper diya will get heated up soon. So it is not easy to handle diya made of pure gold or copper.

Moreover, oil in diya made of gold or copper will #finish fast compared to earthen diya in a fixed amount of time. She further said" Quality and #intensity of light may be same from both types of diyas. But definitely, it will be easy to handle earthen diya compared to diya made of metal gold or copper. Copper diyas are better in the sense that it is known for their antimicrobial properties. It is believed to purify the atmosphere of home."

I further said, " Copper diyas are sustainable in every weather and they can be used inside and outside the house." Moral- Friends can be poor or rich. But friends who help you more are better. The same applies to earthen diya and diya made of metal gold or copper diyas. It is the way you prioritize your thinking in particular circumstances.

Too Accomodative

I am science teacher in government school. Our school used to give students of 12 th class preparation leave before final board #examination. School used to give instructions that every student must get his/her practical note book evaluated by subject teacher. After that each class practical copy bundle would be signed by principal madam and below it school stamp was put by school authorties so to give identity to each student that practical note book belong to student of our school.

School was trying to become too accomodative by considering each student #problem. Some times few students never used to take this exercise of school being helpful #seriously. To avoid unpleasant situation our school used to announce last date to deposite practical note book to concerned teacher so that she/ he could get note book of each student signed by principal madam.

Doing so much, still some students will come just few days before practical exam to get principal madam signature on practical note book.

To make those students who don’t learn the value of #discipline , school authorities used to fine those students. This was never done in good taste. But those students forced school authorities to do so. It was sad but nothing could be done.

One student said" Madam school being too accommodating can make school family a bit #invisible, because it seems school never stand for anything. Therefore I am of strong view one cannot be always nice."

Moral - One can't be always nice and accomodative.Some people behave in such peculiar manner that one has to act in a manner which may not be always #good.
