Visiting Kanpur as traveller

 In my social science classes we have many times read about travelers visiting India from China and Gulf countries. We were very happy to know that how culturally rich is my country that many travelers visited our country.

My brother happen to get admission in IITK. To meet my brother in Kanpur we stayed in small resort in Kanpur.

My brother had many good things to be told to us about Kanpur. As brother was staying in Kanpur he always visited Kanpur city as tourist. He saw Bhaitoor temple near Ganga river very special. He used to admire Kanpur Thiago laddo which we ate many times.

But when we stayed in small restore in Kanpur we were travelers not tourist. We could see fine life of Kanpur. Everywhere tea stall with lot of samosa was pleasant experience. But inspite all humbleness people chewing paan will pitch out peak every where. Kanpur people always exhibited less sense of hygiene.

Vegetables hawkers will not care about keeping vegetables in clean way.

Leather factories of Kanpur will not hesitate to put factory waste in ganga river.

These were observations we as travelers observed in Kanpur. My brother was in IITK, he visited Kanpur city as tourist therefore he could not see fine things of Kanpur life.

Moral of story is when one is exploring outside city it is better to visit as traveler not as tourist. That knowledge makes one more mature and thoughtful.

Student Teacher and Researcher

 I was waiting for my bus, to go home from school.As luck would have it I happen to meet three old students of my school at bus stop.I was very happy to meet my students after a long time gap.

Naresh was school teacher,Rakesh was student in college in Delhi ans was working for his B.Sc degree.Mahesh was working as research scientist in govt lab-NPL in Delhi.

I along with my three students went for cup of tea in school canteen.Their was very fruitful discussion among four of us.I am listing salient point of conclusion of discussion below.

Naresh said it is possible for a person to be a good teacher but not a good student or researcher. Being a good teacher requires different skills and abilities than being a good student or researcher.

Rakesh said A good teacher is someone who can effectively communicate information to others, motivate students to learn, and create a positive learning environment. They are also able to adapt their teaching methods to meet the needs of their students.

Mahesh said A good student is someone who is able to learn new information quickly and efficiently, and who is able to apply that information to new situations.They are also able to think critically and solve problems. A good researcher is someone who is able to conduct original research, and who is able to communicate their findings to others. They are also able to think creatively and come up with new ideas.

I concluded the discussion- the skills and abilities required for each of these roles are different, so it is possible for someone to be good at one role but not the others. For example, someone who is a good teacher may not be a good student because they may not be as motivated to learn new information on their own. Similarly, someone who is a good researcher may not be a good teacher because they may not be as good at communicating information to others.

Moral of story is friends It is important to remember that there is no one “right” way to be a teacher, a student, or a researcher. Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses, and it is important to be in a role that one is following.

Slow Down Mode of Life

 

At one phase of my teaching journey, one of my students asked me, "Madam some sometimes we students are caught in the company of negative people -friends and coworkers, who try to tear down our dreams. How to handle that peculiar situation. Please share some experiences if possible".

 I  advised my students, "friends, at that phase of life when nothing is going right in one's life, the best is to be grounded or slow down. Slowing down is a unique form of #meditation. Breathing in and out with gratitude towards the mighty gives one unique strength."

I further said" from my personal experience of life as a woman, home maker and teacher I can say, accepting slow down mode in difficult phase of life is a conscious choice."

My friend  Asha said, "Spiritual activity like  pranayam and surya namskar early morning in slow down mode of life makes one's footsteps meet Mother Earth, who gives her energy with reverence to the person who is in slow down mode."

I further said, "Mother Earth supplies energy and  makes the body and soul of a person slow down mode  positive and fills one with a lot of fresh energy."

 Sita said, "Not only does one get focused on what makes one happy. But one becomes fearless and worries less also. A person seeks their biggest commitment in the journey of life. One's mind, body and soul can now fight any negative battle of life. One can handle a negative personality with a lot of ease."

I further  said, "Hence, friends opting for  slow down mode at the right time in life journey gives positive energy, which is very important and sometimes does miracles in handling negative  situations of life."

Moral -Never be hesitant to go into slow-down mode at the time of need.

Slow down mode at any phase of life makes one efficient and full of positive energy

Want daughter in law but no daughter

 My son was an intern in one of the biggest hospitals in India. He was posted in Haryana state. As we all know, Haryana is famous for female foeticide. So much so that the sex ratio is 900  females to 1000 males.

My son's friend Suresh used to visit our house. It so happened that he was from Haryana. Jokingly, he will tell me," Dear aunty, I can not get a good match to marry, as the girl who was destined to marry me was killed in the female foeticide drive of Haryana." I used to feel sad for him, but I had no courage to express my sadness in front of him."

My son was posted in Haryana as an intern, and at 2.30 in the night, a woman came with labor pains.

The protocol demands that the doctor on duty do a per vaginal examination and decide whether to admit or refer, depending upon the effacement/dilatation of the cervix/previous history.

The woman was in labor, accompanied by her mother-in-law and sister in law at 2.30 in the night. My son was the only doctor on duty, and their first demand was  - they want a female doctor.

When they realized that my son was the only doctor on duty, they finally agreed to have an examination done by my son.

The woman in labor was sufficiently dilated, and my son asked the nurses to admit her.

 It was her first child. As luck would have it, the woman gave birth to a girl child.

Their concerned faces(the mother-in-law and her sister), who only wanted a female doctor to examine her, suddenly turned upside down. They told my son, ‘If it were a male child, it would have been less painful for the mother with the labor pains and less painful for us too.’

The same mother-in-law and sister in law who were refusing her(the woman with labour pain) to be examined by a male doctor(my son) and wanted a female doctor to examine their daughter-in-law, now suddenly were sad that she gave birth to a female child.

My son was surprised  that these patients  want daughter-in-law  but not daughter.How I'll logical their thinking is.

My son told me  above-listed story. I at once remember dear Suresh, my son's good friend

I immediately thanked God for being so nice to this universe and for creating males and females in equal numbers.I am so worried that if this equal ratio is distorted, what will happen to this universe? God only knows

Is your Science Lab Clean or Tidy

 We had cleanliness drive in our school.I with help of my students andhelper got my chemistry lab cleaned snd made it tidy also.

After  a week I asked my students to write down difference between Tidy lab and clean lab. Students came with many answers the best one I am listing below.

Tidy lab means everything has a place, and everything like apparatus buret

-pippets are in their respective places. Like reagent bottles used for testing cations and anions of inorganic salt must go to side shelves of lab. 

While acid and bases bottles will be in front shelf of lab.Countertops are empty, tables only have what belongs on it, towels are tobe hanged on each working table.

On the other hand lab can be perfectly tidy but dirty. 

Towels need in the laundry, countertops are dirty, lab table is sticky with reagent trips.

One need soap and water and mop and vacuum. One should tidy the lab before the cleaning people come so they can clean, mop, vacuum, shampoo carpet,and scrub the shower.
