Do you Wish to be Popular

 My students always talk to me about concept of popularity. One student said "to become popular one should have bent mind of helping people in need of time. "

I said "popular persons are fond of celebrating one's friend success. They are very positive persons. They are large hearted and always look toward benefit of group and are not confined to own benefit. "

One student said"madam they are always on wheels and are always interested in finding amicable solution to group problems."

I said"yes dear student, they are always ready to do extra work to make their mission successful "

Student said "they are true leaders and

down to earth persons. They never boast about their personal success. They are ready to embrace change in society and find positivity in same. People ❤ them for their capacity to find positivity in odd circumstances. They are role model of society. They inspire young minds through their actions".

Are you being Practical?

  I was waiting to go home, at metro station. I met my old student he said" Madam when we were teen ager we were so close to our friends. Even at home I used to share every small challenges in my life with my parents. But now a days things are much different"Why it is so is big question. 

I said "at that time no face book, no smart digital phone and no whatsup. Only medium of communication was letter writing. People were able to share emotions very effectively. Distance relationship were maintained so well. Unfortunately it is not soso now a days".

Yes you are right my student. I said" The reason behind this is that every one is being very practical these days. That is why there is less respect to emotions now days. Thanks to science-technolgy and information technology "

Advise Give -Take

My friend Nita joined as bank officer in bank. Other bank officer who joined with her were very hesitant to interact with clerks of bank. My friend never discriminated if one is bank officer or clerk. She got very valuable avises from her juniors which she implemented when needed. 

Other officers found it difficult to handle many bank problems. They were good in giving advises to clients in bank. 

Taking advise from junior or senior is not easy task. Some times communication skills of clients are not up to mark, so giving them advise sometimes become messy task

One must remember if you are giving advise to client

1.client must have good hearing capacity

2 client must have good communication skills to put forward his problem. 

3.it should be made clear to client it is not necessary that client should follows his advise. 

4.client is only one who knows his needs and problems.

Is it Difficult to say No?

 My friend Mini was teaching in private school. Mini was recently married. Her in laws family was very helpful and cooperative. 

Mini's mother in law was to go for wedding in different city. Before booking air ticket she checked with Mini, if she has some important assignment in school. Mini said"as if now she does not have any important duties to be performed in school." Mini's mother in law made all arrangements for her travel. 

It so happened school inspection dates were announced and they were same when Mini's mother in law was suppose to travel. 

My friend Mini was so confused she phoned me and said "madam I am encountering a difficult situation. My school inspection date is same as that of my mother in laws planed date to travel to different city. How will my mother in law take it if I tell my mom in law that I can not take leave from school as it is inspection of school. "I said" Yes Mini it is very difficult and tricky situation, but some time one has to take strong decision and for you it is to convey to your mother in laws I can not take leave from school  is difficult".

Mini was concerned how will she be taken for saying " No" in laws family. She felt lot of concern as she was very new at her in laws place. It so happened some how her husband was also not willing to come in this issue. 

Mini took a decision of saying "no".Initially her decision was taken in bad taste, and for that she had to face unpleasant situations. Gradually things improved. I am  happy that today Mini is being considered as responsible teacher at school. Even at her in laws family she is respected. I am so so happy for her. 

Moral of Story-Some time one has to take hard decision of saying " No", when one is expected to say "yes".

STEM-Courses

मैं स्कूल में साइंस टीचर हूं। मैं  विज्ञान का इतना आनंद चाहता हूं कि मैं चाहता हूं कि विज्ञान से प्यार करने वाले प्रत्येक छात्र को सीखने, वैज्ञानिक या इंजीनियर, डॉक्टर या यहां तक ​​कि एक अच्छा नागरिक वैज्ञानिक बनने का अवसर मिले। मेरा दृढ़ विश्वास है कि हमारे छात्रों को वह हासिल करना चाहिए जो वे जानते हैं कि वे क्या सही कर रहे हैं, या गलत हैं। वही STEM (विज्ञान, प्रौद्योगिकी, इंजीनियरिंग, गणित) को मान्यता प्राप्त करने के लिए सीखना और अध्ययन करना आवश्यक है। 

विज्ञान के रूप में शिक्षक के रूप में हमारा यह कर्तव्य है कि हम स्टेम बोर्ड के ढांचे के बारे में बताते हैं और उन्हें हमारे अंदर के हिस्सों से रोल मॉडल बनाते हैं।

मैं विज्ञान शिक्षक हूं, इसलिए मुझे हर चीज में विज्ञान पढ़ाने का अवसर मिलता है। मैं अपने विद्यार्थियों को पढ़ता हूँ। अगर हममें से हर कोई खुद को बचा सकता है, अपने परिवार को बदल सकता है, अपने समुदाय को वैज्ञानिक तरीके से रख सकता है एक छोटा सा काम कर सकता है, तो हम एक ऐसा बदलाव ला सकते हैं जो पूरी दुनिया में बदल जाएगा।

विद्यालय में माध्यमिक स्तर पर समस्या उत्पन्न होती है। छात्रों को गणित बहुत कठिन और सारगर्भित लगता है। गणित के लिए बहुत अधिक अभ्यास और कड़ी मेहनत की आवश्यकता होती है। उस स्तर के छात्र इसके अधिकारी नहीं होते हैं। जिन लोगों को गणित में अच्छी दिशा मिलती है, वे एसटीएम में गहराई तक जाने में रुचि रखते हैं। 

कुछ सैमुअल लोग यह नहीं समझ पाए कि माध्यमिक स्तर पर गणित में वे कंप्यूटर विज्ञान और सूचना प्रौद्योगिकी में गणित अच्छा नहीं हो सकता। गणित की गहन जानकारी न होने के कारण वे STEM प्रोजेक्ट्स में बहुत पीछे रह जाते हैं। 

मैं विज्ञान शिक्षक के रूप में अपने विद्यार्थियों को गणित का महत्व सिखाता हूँ। सौभाग्य से मेरे छात्र स्टाईम कॉलेज में अच्छे हैं और वे सकारात्मक तरीकों से राष्ट्रीय निर्माण में योगदान दे रहे हैं।

कहानी से सीखें- STEM ज्ञान देश का स्टॉक बनता है। इसलिए यह हमेशा अच्छा होता है कि छात्रों को स्टेमिनार का अच्छा ज्ञान अपने पास रखना चाहिए।

Eating Habit and Culture.

 I am teaching in school. The other day I was talking to students in school. 

One student said "madam we Indians eat our food dal, chapati, rice, vegetables on dinning table. Chapati we eat with hand fingers. But while eating rice I use spoon. " .Other student Padma said"We South indians eat mixed dal rice with hands. We do not eat with spoon. Other student Chang Chinese) said "madam

 our stapel food is also rice but we use chopsticks 🥢 to eat that. We are comfortable with that".

I said" Dear student every country has its own  culture of eating 🍲. Each culture has positive points. It all depends on climate, weather and temperature of that country. I as indian prefer to eat dal roti, and rice with hand fingers. But I don't think involving palm of hand while eating is good habit. I involve my right hand while eating and left hand I keep free to displace bowl of eatables near me Or far from me. In this procedure of eating I find lot of satisfaction. Moreover my hand knows how much food my mouth can accommodate. These are  positive points I find in my culture style of eating Therefore I recommend to others."

I further said"chopsticks are good but when I eat rice with their help , it is convenient for me but it does not give me that satisfaction when I eat  my food with help of fingers of hand. "

Moral of story-Some Indian food give one lot of satisfaction when eaten with fingers of hand.
