STEM vs STEAM

 There are many format of# STEM-science,technology,engineering,Mathematics.STEM education is backbone of any country.Young generation can fetch high salaried jobs with STEM education.

Not including humanities in STEM is a #myopic view. There is strong view among educationist that STEM is actually STEAM- Science, Tech, Reading, Engineering, Art, and Math and STEAM process are very useful in logically analysing history and other humanities subjects.The question is what is benefit of including humanities with STEM education.Answer is Humanities is must for students as it teaches them human values which one practices in life

STEAM education includes courses in humanities such as language, sociology,# economics, accounts, commerce and management. Teaching 15% STEAM courses to students of science, humanities, and commerce is necessary for them to be a little bit more disciplined and purposeful in life

Fullest Life

 I have been teaching science in school. To make my lesson more effective, I often do science arts writing to train young minds. In my co-curricular activity time, the topic for debate was how to lead the best possible life. Students wrote very interesting answers. Some students were confused if they could have better materialistic things available to them, they would have led a better, fuller life. To make my students understand what is full life is, and how to lead the fullest life, I  wrote a poem" Fullest Life" and pasted it on the notice board of the school. The same poem I am listing below for my esteemed readers

Life is such a wide umbrella,

How to get my# fullest life,

I ask this question many times,

To my beloved soul.

With a cup of coffee in my hand,

I sat on my balcony,

I realized to lead the fullest life,

I must concentrate on coffee,

Not on# cup of coffee,

Why so asked my# soul.

 Coffee is  life,

But a cup in which is contained coffee,

Is like a job, money, a position in life, but not life,

They are# means to lead life.

Most affluent are not people,

Who has everything in life,

Most affluent people are,

Who utlise their resources,

In the best possible way,

And remain happy.

This understanding spontaneous,

Made crystal clear all my doubts,

I lost all my false fears of life,

And gained my happiest fullest life.

~Sukarma Rani

Working at Fast Food Joint

 editorial@firesidefiction.com

My friend Neelam used to work in fast fast-food joint. Many of us may think that this job is an easy one. Actually, it is not so. I learnt many good lessons from the experience of my friend Neelam's challenging job. I am listing the same below.

Working at a fast-food job teaches one how to work under pressure and manage one's time. One has to deal with busy periods, long lines, unexpected situations, and multiple tasks at once. One learns how to prioritize, multitask, adapt, and stay calm. One has to follow rules, procedures, and standards in the distribution of food and making bills. These are all important skills for this job.

 Working at a fast-food joint teaches one how to appreciate what one has and what others do for others. One will see firsthand how hard these jobs can be, how much effort and energy they require, and how little they pay.

The moral of the story is- one realizes how much workers at a fast food joint work hard, and therefore they deserve respect and recognition for their work. One also realizes how lucky one is to have other opportunities and choices in life. One can learn from fast food joint workers how to be grateful and humble. These are all valuable qualities one should learn from workers at fast food joint.

Different Formats of Relationships

 We often talk about relationships,

Sincere efforts help in maintaining relationships,

People  emotional were, our fathers, forefathers,

Hence always cared about relationships.

After that time, some people were practical,

In their nature.

It's good to be practical in caring for relationships,

They did not believe in the " forgo

 and forget philosophy,

In maintaining relationships,

They believed in taking advantage of relationships,

In today day-to-day life and professional life.

Now the new generation is very professional,

For them, if possibility of any transaction is in their favor,

Then only is it useful for establishing a relationship,

Other, wise situation is not favorable in the name of a relationship.

Beauty Lies in Beholder's Eye

 I had a friend, Gita, in my school. I joined #B.Sc(Hons)Chemistry in college.While my friend Gita joined #B.Sc(Nursing) in a nursing college.

The other day, Gita was in my dreams. I asked Gita, You have been in such a beautiful profession. Please answer my one unique question.

        When is a girl or a woman most beautiful? Gita asked me why I am

I asked her such a question.

I told Gita the same question was asked by my girl student when I

Was teaching in a girls' college. Gita gave me several good points about the same.

I said, dear Gita, a woman is such a #beautiful creation of God; according to me, a woman will be most beautiful in every circumstance.

After discussing the same with my dear mother, I wrote a small poem in the form of a dialogue to paste on my school notice board to educate young minds. The same I am listing below for my respected readers.

When is a Woman Beautiful?

 Me- In her teens and early twenties.

 When she falls in love and is #loved back equally.

Mother- On the day of her wedding.

 On the birth of her child/children.

Me- When she #juggles work at home and the office.

 Tired after a full day’s work, she enters the kitchen to cook for her family.

Mother- When the first strands of #grey hair mark her temples.

 When she waits for her kids to call her while they are away.

Me- When she gets her kids #married.

 When she becomes a #granny.

Mother- After all this time when she still wakes up early to prepare that special tea for her #husband.

 When all her hairs go white, and she becomes #toothless.

Me- Finally, when she #rests in peace

Mother-Ones beauty doesn't exist on its own but is created and appreciated by observers.

A woman's internal beauty always adds to her so-called external beauty.

 

 Moral of the Story: Every girl/woman is internally and externally beautiful, in every way and at all times. One should only have the right eyes to see that. Beauty lies in beholder's eyes. Beauty doesn't exist on its own but is created by beholder
