We should always calculate the consequences of our actions:

*The consequences of our actions*      

A young man saw his primary school teacher on a wedding.
He went to greet him with all the respect and admiration.
He said to him:
"Do you remember me, Teacher?"
The teacher said: "No, introduce yourself."
The student said: "I was your student in the 3rd Grade, I am the one who stole the watch of a child in the classroom. I will remind you but I am sure you remember the story."

One of the boys in my class had a beautiful watch, so I decided to steal it.               
He came to you crying that someone had stolen his watch. 
You asked us to stand so as to search our pockets.      
I realized that my action would be exposed in front of the Students and Teachers.
I will be called a thief, a liar and my character will be shattered forever.

You asked us to stand and face the wall and close our eyes completely.
You went searching from pocket to pocket, and when you reached my pocket you pulled the watch out of my pocket, and you continued until you searched the last student.

After you finished you asked us to open our eyes and to sit on our chairs.     
I was afraid you will expose me in front of the students.

You showed the watch to the class, and gave it back to the boy, and you never mentioned the name of the one who stole the watch.
You never said a word to me, and you never mentioned the story to anyone. 

Throughout my school life, none of the teachers nor the students talked about me stealing the watch.       
I thought to myself you saved my dignity that day.

Do you remember me?
How can you not remember me, Teacher?
I was your student and I am sure you remember the story, that I stole the watch and you did not want to embarrass me. This story is unforgettable.

The teacher said: "I can't remember who stole the watch that day, because I searched the pockets of all of you while my eyes were also closed."

Education needs wisdom. We should be able to be such Teachers, such Parents, such Leaders and be able to be for people in such circumstances.  
We should always calculate the consequences of our actions.

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

The invention of the school/college system:

-  Have you ever thought about why we have to send our children to school? Do we have the choice not to school our child? The school is considered so holy that there is no life without school. The school/college is more important than bread, butter, and water. Schools and colleges that we see today are the products of history. In the beginning, for hundreds of thousands of years, children educated themselves through self-directed play and exploration. There were no master plan buildings and closed cages (classrooms) as we see today or been in one of the cages ourselves. In relation to the biological history of us as humans, schools are very recent institutions or the factories of discipline (one of the synonyms of discipline is punishment). The meaning of discipline in English is ‘the practice of training people to obey rules and behave well’. The education system as we know it today is only about 200 years old. Before that, formal education was mostly reserved for the rich. But as ind

Role of Spirituality on Physical and Mental Health:

 - *Role of Spirituality on Physical and Mental Health* Spirituality have a role on human health, since it increase life quality and life satisfaction. A large number of studies have revealed a correlation between religiosity and health. Religiously active people tend to live longer than those who are not religiously active. A research review of more than 1500 studies has revealed connections between spirituality and health and healing. Some of these studies have found positive impact of religion on a number of determinants of physical health suggesting that religion can positively influence physical health.  A WHO study found less likelihood of suicidal thought and suicidal attempts among people having a religious belongingness. A number of studies had shown that religious and spiritual egagement influences life satisfaction which in turn impacts physical and mental health. A research by Powell, Shahabi and Thoresen in 2003 has examined association between religion or spirituality and

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

Nationalism: Towards a thoughtfulness

“Show me a culture where honesty is considered ridiculous, where nobody's ever accountable for anything, where anger gets admired as a sign of strength, and I'll show you a place where misery is permanent” ―  Anthony Steyning      I am writing this article in the turmoil when there are disturbances among two neighboring states; Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. This struggle and violence is about sharing of very vital water resource. One strong reason for me to write this article is; there is deteriorating scope for political consciousness with the decline of ‘Arts Education’ stream in our country, which is a back bone for key educational streams such as, History, civics and sociology. These are the streams which have shaped the world. Eleanor Roosevelt, wife of 32nd President of the United States Franklin D. Roosevelt says, “Our children should learn the general framework of their government and then they should know where they come in contact with the government, where it t

What truly matters is how you live in each moment:

 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
