my thoughts

I happened to read the hindi poem by great poet Sh.Gopal Das Neeraj Ji titled "Maa mat ho naraaz....." in which a daughter is explaining to the mother the reasons of her doing certain things for which she is unhappy. The complete poem is so good that you can keep  reading it again and again but  few lines say a lot.The lines are :- " Jo kuch huva use bisra de, Santee(stick) faik(throw) baal sahala de, Teri mamata bhi naa mili to jaane fir kya kare gujariya! Maa mat ho naraaz..." And I found it so true for all the children of today. We must understand that they tend to get impressed by the happenings around them the most and if they do not get  proper attention and guidance of the parents and teachers they feel ignored and might indulge in some undesirable activities.As parents and teachers we should be fair and also clear in our approach towards our children but at the same be firm also.At times we ignore a serious mistake and at other times become angry and re...

Respected Gurus and my dear friends, First of all I would like to thank Varun  Gupta who forced me to write my thoughts on this blog. Also I would like this to be dedicated to my mother, my grandfather, my wife Sangeeta , my sons Vishal and Vaibhav and all my teachers and students from whom I have learned so many things and I am proud of that.

Today I realize the importance of living with young kids and be as innocent as they are. I firmly believe that if the national character is to be ...
