Parents Teachers Association

 We had parent teachers association(PTA) in school. Its goal was to help students . Presence of parents in the meeting helped teachers in solving students personal problems.

As a parent and a teacher, we teachers were sometimes surprised at how many parents seem to take little to no interest in what or how their kids are doing in school, as well as how many parents push their children towards independence too early, for the sake of their own convenience.

We, teachers, were clear that if one's child is under age 10, and if parents can’t name a single thing their child learned in school this month, parents are not doing a good job as parents. We all teachers agreed that it's okay if parents are not able to help kids with their homework (although it would be nice), but at least ask their child what they’re doing in school.

When students are ages 11–14. The older ones are pretty independent, but the younger ones still need a lot of guidance. Yet I’ve had 11-year-old students whose parents just didn’t seem to care what their kid was doing in school. Emails to the parents would be read but not responded to. Phone calls would go unreturned. Parents looked bored in PTA, or never looked up from their phones in the PTA, or just never came to the PTA.

   We teachers sometimes get annoyed with some children. We were consistently late, hadn’t eaten, were unprepared, and looked like we just rolled out of bed. The kids weren’t home alone. The parents were there. Parents thought their kid was independent enough to get themselves ready and to school consistently every morning.

Many times, we teachers had to buy lunches for students who had none. When teachers talked to the parents about it during PTA, some parents just said that the child was responsible for packing their own lunch every day. That’s fine… there’s nothing wrong with a kid that age being responsible… but we teachers used to request, please parents supervise your kid to make sure it’s done right.

We teachers used to feel sad for kids and always requested parents that kids are a long-term commitment, but many parents will not understand the same. We were fortunate that there were many good teachers in school. We collectively helped many students, and we teachers found that students improved a lot.

The moral of the story is that we, as parents, should help our kids as much as required. But parents must learn with the help of a teacher, where to draw the line that the parent is not required to help, and how much help the kid requires. When the cooperation of parents is extended to the teacher, it will be good for the teacher, parents and students. That will be win win-win-win situation for parents, teachers and students.

Mother Journey

  To wait for her children,

Is Mother's destiny ,

 She waits for her child,

 When she's carrying the same,

In her inside body .

My mother waits for me,

 To come from school. 

She waits for me ,

To come home from a trip,

She waits for me,

 When I start my own life. 

She waits for me,

 When I come home from work ,

And when I come home,

 She waits for me, 

With love, with worry,

 And sometimes with anger, 

Which disappears as soon as,

 She sees me ,

And  hugs me.

Friends make sure your mother ,

Doesn't have to wait,

 Visit her, love her, and hug her,

She's the one who has loved you,

 Like no one else. 

Don't make her wait; 

That's what she expects from you.

 Physical Bodies age, 

But a mother's heart never ages.

 Love her as much as you can. 

No one will ever love you,

 Like your mother.

Chemistry of struggle Dynamics

 I was talking to students the other day and was advising them not to be scared of their struggles in life. My students who are preparing for a professional exam have to work day and night. After school, many students take help from expert teachers to handle the questions asked in the entrance test. These students are always running short of time.

I feel very much concerned for them. The only way I can help them is by telling my students, struggle is part of life, which is very important. Struggle gives one valuable experiences, and these experiences help one in solving struggles that one faces in the future.

If  I put in chemistry language

1. Struggle gives rise to experience as a product, hence it is a consequential reaction.

2. Struggle and experience cannot be separated from each other. In other words, struggle and experience are in equilibrium with each other, hence it is an equilibrium reaction.

One can not separate one's struggle and experience.One can't accept or reject them by separating them. These earned experiences help one in handling future struggles in life. Struggle and experience are two sides of the same coin

Colours of Science Lab

 I am fortunate,as I have got the opportunity to visit many nations in world attending,webinars- scientific cconferences.The experience of same  I am listing  below in form of poem" Working  in Science  Lab"

Colours of Science  Lab

Working in science labs,

For long hours is my first passion.

I remember how immature a spirit I was,

But now with scientific work experience,

I have fetched wisdom.

How firmly with a lot of confidence,

I speak and present experimental,

Results of my group science projects,

Without doubt and hesitation,

The life I lead is my own creation.

Now, to some extent, I understand,

Scientific field research work culture,

How much I have to chase personal,

 Or scientific dreams.

How to collaborate in different scientific projects,

 Up to what extent?

News of my scientific project,

 Funding money makes,

Me happier than my personal money.

I have a strong and generous heart,

My inner scientific aptitude,

Beauty makes me stand  apart,

I have risen from ashes and soared to,

The scientific world, a new plane.

My senses for the science,

 Field have now heightened,

I can see every science,

 Project goal clearly and crisply,

I wish to invent new  technology,

So that the ordinary,

 Woman's comfort rises to infinity,

My personal joys will then be merged,

With the joys of my scientific findings.

In scientific life, I have tasted bitter loneliness,

Yet went forward,

 And did the experiment again single-handedly,

I have overcome personal family adversity,

And pushed past my  heartaches,

And filled them with the joys of science, 

Colours of my lab.

Cooking Can be Ceative

 Wonderful is Cooking activity,

In my family,

Sometimes I cook,

Sometimes my husband cooks,

Sometimes my daughter-in-law cooks.

Therapeutic is a cooking activity,

There is nothing in a woman's DNA,

That makes it her responsibility to 

cook,

In India, people are always anxious,

To know who cooks in another family,

Is it fair to do so?

Please leave alone,

That respected Integrated family,

And let them make their own way,

 If somehow you,

Can't appreciate  their  cooking,

Please do not  make this cause of tension,

Best not to eat at their place,

Let them enjoy their cooking,

A peaceful activity,

That makes them Integrated,

creative family.

Body Soul Dynamics and Numeral Zero

 Body Soul  Dynamics -Science

 

When one's inside bonds,

Are breaking and one is being rearranged,

One feels from inside that one has changed,

And inside is working with new body chemical dynamics,

For sure, in one, there are many chemical changes,

Friends, because of these chemical changes,

Inside us, we human beings, have chemical reactions,

Which makes us digest, grow, heal, think and reproduce.

 

Whatever one does in life,

Friends dear, there is also,

 prevails body soul dynamics,

When one takes care and keeps a tap on oneself,

Body-Soul chemical reactions,

Ionic bond, Covalent bonds, and coordinate bonds,

So to make one’s body-soul inside,

 Exothermic, endothermic reactions, emotional quotient,

Remain balanced and one’s body-soul,

Remain grounded to earth, noble,

And no one could subtract,

Any atom and electron from one’s body-soul,

Like the zero numeral (0) of mathematics,

Where no one could subtract,

Any number from zero.

Friends, dear, this is

 body soul dynamics,

 

Friends when zero numeral,

Stands with another number,

It increases another number,

 Value by many fold,

Similarly, through  body soul chemical dynamics,

When stands one’s body-soul,

With any other unknown body-soul,

 one’s body-soul  dynamics induces chemical,

 Dynamics in the unknown body-soul,

 Such a way that,

Unknown personality body-soul,

 Dynamics impact increases,

 By tenfold, and become a noble soul.

Inherited Gifts and Relationships Bridges

 The other day I was answering students' relevant questions about what are  main gifts one gets  from God which can give someone a huge edge over others:

My  submissions were as follows

1. Being born in a developed country,2. being born in a rich family, 3, being born with good looks.

My explanation of above above-listed facts was as follows

Let me explain why. Being born in a developed country friends one has access to better education, health care, infrastructure, and opportunities than most people in the world. One doesn't have to worry about war, famine, disease, or poverty as much as someone who lives in a less fortunate place. One also has more freedom and rights to pursue one's dreams and goals. One gets opportunities to do part time job.This facilities help mothers.

Being born in a rich family means one has more resources and support to achieve one's potential. One doesn't have to struggle to make ends meet or work hard to pay for one's education or basic needs. One can afford to travel, learn new skills, start a business, or do whatever one wants. One also has more connections and influence to get ahead in one's career or society.One should be grateful  for these blessings  and use the same for doing good in society. 

Being born with good looks means one has more advantages in social situations and relationships. One is more likely to attract attention, admiration, and love from others. One is more likely to be perceived as confident, intelligent, and trustworthy. One also has more opportunities to benefit from one's appearance, such as getting better jobs, deals, or favors. Sometimes  surrounding  people make person with  good looks work in wrong direction. One should  be careful from these negative  personalities. 

One doesn't choose where one is born, who one's parents are, or how one looks. One just inherits them from one's genes and environment. And yet they can make a huge difference in one's life chances and opportunities.

There are other relationships that one builds 

These relationships are to be developed with trust, respect and honesty. Emotional intelligence, positive attributes of one's personality and trust contribute to these relationships.

Unfortunately some sometimes it happens that one happens to show one's worst qualities to one's life partner or relationship. Friends, please never do that. Please do build trust with your partner in marriage or a relationship. In other words, be willing to give as well as receive. It is necessary for both partners to feel comfortable with the level of giving and receiving.

The moral of the story is that one should be thankful for the gifted traits given by God in the form of DNA and environment, and should always use them for the right cause in the right direction in life.

Similarly one should build relationships in life like making bridges( building a bridge between body and soul through YOGA) and avoid making walls in life through one's honesty, trust and intelligence
