* _Can you share this request ahead? _* One of the patient at our Maternity Hospital personally requested for this ✍🏻 Few months ago, one of the patient who visited our hospital to avail maternity Services gave us a very important & much required feedback, feedback which I think will help us all to understand things in a more better perspective. When she visited our Hospital, *_she felt very peaceful, comfortable and relaxed_* noticing the first person till the last one in our Hospital were *all Female.* Starting from *_Reception, Doctors, Nurses, Attendees, Cleaning Staff, etc..._* After getting done with all procedures, and delivering a Healthy Baby, with Normal Delivery Process, she felt very overwhelmed and gave us a feedback similar to this; _I wish each & every Hospital across our Beloved Country give us a choice at the time of delivery to select an environment where that environment is completely surrounded by female staffs, doctors, nurses, etc. Because such an enviro

The Four Trees A Motivational Moral Story Once upon a time in a land not too far away, four trees started to grow on top of a small hill. Three of the trees are very selfish, arrogant and proud trees always boasting how big and tall they will become, teasing each other how they will live forever. The fourth tree is all happy and content, just to be a tree. As time passes the three proud and selfish trees spend all their days growing as tall and impressive as they can, boasting each and everyday how wonderful they will be The fourth tree listens but is all happy and content, just to be a tree. Many years pass and the three trees all look impressive and have grown straight and tall, but they have grown even more arrogant, selfish and proud, boasting and teasing constantly how they are better than the other and how surly they will now live forever. The fourth tree isn’t the best looking or the tallest but is all happy and content, just to be a tree. The woodcutter comes along and cuts th

A father’s dedication and sacrifice towards children’s education:

- "I never told my children what my job was. I never wanted them to feel ashamed because of me. When my youngest daughter asked me what I did, I used to tell her hesitantly that I was a labourer. Before I went back home every day, I used to take a bath in the public toilets so they did not get any hint of the work I was doing. I wanted to send my daughters to school, to educate them. I wanted them to stand in front of people with dignity. I never wanted anyone to look down upon them like the way everyone did to me. People always humiliated me. I invested every penny of my earnings for my daughters’ education. I never bought a new shirt, instead I used the money for buying books for them. Respect is all I wanted them to earn for me. I was a cleaner. The day before the last date of my daughter’s college admission, I could not manage to get her admission fees. I could not work that day. I was sitting beside the rubbish, trying hard to hide my tears. All my co-workers were looking a

It's the time for education to enhance the children's world view and understand that there is so much beyond money, fame and power.

- Today's education makes us look at the world through a key hole and limits us to it. We make all our major life decisions based on this limited perspective. We need to widen that keyhole for us and our children by providing them with the education that made the first generation of this caring world. With such a perspective, we can see more, know more and the possibility of growth is immense.. The urge for Money, fame, power comes out of that key hole. That's why our children like the career which can give money, fame, power. Like an example, you ask any child what they would like to become, they will say, Doctor, Engineer, Lawyer, IAS, CA. And you will rarely see or do not see children mention, Artist, Nurse, Teacher, Social change Activist, climate change Activist etc. It's the time for education to enhance the children's world view and understand that there is so much beyond money, fame and power. That's true meaning of education.

Jaya Bachchan gives an emotional, sensical reply, “Why is it, I want to ask, that Indian women are wearing more western clothes?”

- Jaya Bachchan asks why Indian women are wearing more western clothes: We've accepted it gives that 'manpower' to a woman. “Why is it, I want to ask, that Indian women are wearing more western clothes?” Shweta, the daughter of Jaya Bachchan said, “Yes with the industrial revolution and when all the men went to war and women started working in factories. So they had to wear pants because you can't be doing heavy machine work with…”. This is the technical and need based situation when women started wearing men-clothes, but why do we think wearing of men-clothes makes women look powerful. Don't you think women are more powerful in their own way? We don't want western clothes to make our women feel empowered, powerful. Women are already powerful and respected. Jaya makes an emotional, sensical reply, she says in the conversation, "I feel what has happened is very unknowingly, we've accepted that the western clothing is more… it gives that manpower to a w

Children should come to believe that - "I cannot succeed without the help of others to succeed"

- *Exclusion Culture* They bring nine chairs for ten children, and they tell the children that the winner is the one who gets the chair, and whoever remains without a chair is out of the game. Then they reduce the number of chairs each time and a child comes out every time. Until one child remains and he is declared the winner. The child learns the culture of “Myself, myself, and in order to succeed, I must remove others.” And in Japanese kindergartens, they play the game of chairs too And they also come with nine chairs for ten kids, with a difference That they tell the children that if one of you remains without a chair, everyone loses. All the children try to hug each other So that ten children can sit on nine chairs And then they reduce the number of chairs successively With the rule remaining that they must make sure that no one remains without a chair, or else they will all lose The child learns culture *"I cannot succeed without the help of others to succeed"* *From Ex

Feeding the hungry and helping the poor and needy, without hurting the dignity:

- *This is to create awareness regarding the problem of chronic hunger faced by the poor throughout the world. _A poor father accompanied by his daughter, steals some bread from a store. As soon as he turns to go, the shopkeeper stops him. The daughter unable to understand anxiously asks the father as to what had happened. The father worried and disturbed opens his lips to apologise, but he hears the shopkeeper speaking to his daughter “My dear child, your father had forgotten to take back the change”. He then counts and places some money in the hands of the father, as if nothing has happened. The father stepping out of the shop with head bowed down in remorse and helplessness hears a voice from a customer standing in the shop, silently witnessing the scene. “Brother you have also forgotten the bag of rice that you purchased, please take this.”_ *Feeding the hungry and helping the poor and needy, without hurting the dignity and self-esteem is a very great virtue in the sight of God, w
