my thoughts

We   all agree to the fact that human beings cannot exist and survive in isolation and that is the reason we have the pattern of the system and in many countries, there is a close knit family fabric. When we live together, then adjustment and compromise becomes essential and important for a peaceful survival. In the year 1961 when our first Prime Minister Pt. Jawaharlal Lal Nehru raised the flag of non aligned movement in the background of the cold war between USSR and USA that was the step taken in the right direction for the peaceful co-existence. Many countries especially from the third world joined this movement. But over a period of time NAM seems to have lost its relevance. Rightly stated by somebody that the countries which were in the forefront of the NAM, are now the biggest buyers of the war weapons.   The focus has shifted from policies to the unwilling followers of the mighty nations. The countries which are powerful in terms of the economy and the military, d...

The topic which I am going to discuss has been the focus of attention of many in the past and continues to be discussed now also. This is important for the educators and the parents that they give enough opportunities to the children so that they become confident and develop creative thinking, which is the need of the hour. Many people have the opinion that the children follow the advice of their friends than that of the parents and the teachers. This may be true but not always because this depends upon many factors and situations. I strongly believe that there is nothing wrong in asking questions or having discussions but the way it is done is very important. We read in newspapers and watch on television channels, the way the presidential candidates of the United States of America debate and put forward their point of view. When we compare this with respect to our own debates in parliament or otherwise then we find that the picture is entirely different though this was not the ca...

The school celebrated “Sanskar Divas” recently and this was done to pay respect to the grandparents of our children. The participants were the kids from class II. I can say it with confidence and with a lot pride that the kids performed it in an immaculate and convincing manner which must have given a lot of satisfaction to the parents and grandparents of these children. The grandparents’ day was very appropriately named as Sanskar Divas because they play the most significant role in the early life of the children as the parents of the children remain more occupied in their own work. The theme was based on our father of nation, in which children enacted those incidents of his life which left an everlasting impact on the impressionable mind of the young Mohan Das. The children enjoyed it thoroughly and we are sure that this method of telling the importance of truth, honesty, courage, love and respect for the country and countrymen is the best way than sitting in the class room and giv...

We celebrate the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi and many functions are organized in the schools, colleges and other places and the same is done all over the world in different ways. For many people in India, this seems to be a holiday and the people plan to go out to enjoy with their family. A few months back there was a debate on a TV channel in which the topic was how to celebrate National festivals. The person from travel industry was trying to prove that the people have a right to enjoy on these occasions and it was not necessary for them to sit at home and think and talk only about such day that are of immense importance. The debate gave a feeling to me that the national festivals, like Independence Day and Republic Day are marked only to enjoy. I have a different point of view in this regard. Such national festivals provide us an opportunity to remember the good done and sacrifices made by our forefathers and leaders. This is the occasion to remind ourselves of our duti...
