my thoughts

Dear friends, Yesterday I met a young couple who got married recently and now moving out to a place away from their parents.This made me to think that, will they have difficulty  in  starting a new life of their own without anyone`s support from the family? Also after few years when they will  plan of their  family, will they be  mature enough for taking care of their kid/kids. This forced  me to further think about the scenario of problems faced by today`s kids and their parents. I would like to focus on the stressful life of parents in the present scenario. We all know it well  that during this period (Dec-Feb.) every year, many young parents anxiously wait for their child`s admission in a `Good` school.

Dear friends, From the time of independence we have been working towards making our country better place not only for our people but also for all on this planet.The thrust has been on economic,scientific and industrial growth. Education and agriculture did get attention of our policy makers but I think more could have been done in that direction.All will agree that education is the key to the sustained growth of a nation and agriculture is the key sector to provide healthy food to the citizens.

Let me share with you  my personal experience of the last week. A group of about 33 teachers went to visit a few places like Goa and Mumbai.The idea was to get together and understand each other in a better way because when you you are at your  work  place, profession becomes more important which at times acts as barrier  to personal life.

We do enjoy when we work in the capacity of an adult bu...
