Learning and teaching

Learning and teaching 

Both walk together.

When Learning smiles, 

Teaching is appreciated.

Only the learning of good values

And teaching of good values 

Can make this world, 

a world of values.

Troubles

Though there are troubles

But the troubles can't put ye in trouble

Once ye know how to face the troubles

Then there is a joy even in the troubles

So let there be some troubles

'Cause life is nothing without troubles

Just like a body is nothing without bones!

Still sometimes the troubles trouble us

We face the grim which trouble us

But even the troubles help us

How to confront the troubles!

Practice

Practice and only practice 

can pave the path to perfection

Practice and only practice 

can help ye to live a life of prudence 

Practice is the key

And practice is the devotion

Practice in the life

Can multiply your diligence 

Practice is a path 

And practice is its destination 

So through practice 

And only practice

You can pave the path to perfection.

You are divine..

You're divine

If you're polite 

And seeking 

The mighty strength inside

You're courageous 

And can face the world malicious 

Once ye know that ye are precious

See, the world can be sinful

World can tactful

World can be merciless 

Still, you keep practicing to be selfless

'Cause you're divine

You're polite

And seeking

The mighty strength inside..

The Teacher who inspires

On October 2018, I got an opportunity to meet with Mrs Amarjit Dhaliwal, the Principal of GMT International Public School, Kakowal Road, Ludhiana. I had already sent my resume via email a day before my visit to the school and my appointment with Ma'am was also fixed. Till then, I heard a lot about Dhaliwal Ma'am and her administrative skills from Narinder Ma'am, Sharanjeet Ma'am, Rajesh Sir and Aman Singla Sir. I was quite nervous at that moment because the image which I had made about Ma'am was like someone who is very strict. Though nervous, I was, still, I went into the office. Rajesh Sir was also there during the interview. She was reading something at that moment and I sought permission from her to come in. 

She replied, "Come in Sudhir, we were waiting for you." 

I felt perplexed if I was late! Perhaps that's why she said that to me satirically. 

But thanks to God, it wasn't that. Then she just asked me about my hobbies and the things which I liked a lot. I replied that I am having a passion for teaching and seeking for an institute where I can get the best environment to explore my potential. She said firmly to me that I would be given the best environment in the school. 

Within two days, I realized that the discipline part of the school is excellent. Students are very obedient and they respect their teachers. This is what I want.

One more thing which she told me during the interview, she said, "Sudhir, we have to focus on our Karmas only and leave the rest in the will of God." Even now, the line inspires me to endeavour to be dutiful. Not only this specific incident rather there are number of incidents when she guided and inspired me like a teacher.

It was the mid of the session 2019-20. In class XII, English, we had some new chapters introduced in our syllabus and I was feeling some difficulty to create my interest in the chapter, 'Poets and Pancakes.' 

Next day I told her honestly that I couldn't create interest in that chapter. She just looked at me and replied, "It is a very easy chapter Sudhir. It is all about Gemini studio, makeup artists; their hierarchy according to the actors working in the movie, Kothamangalam Subbu; the right hand of S.S Vasan, the visit of Stephen Spender in the studio and the reason why he visited there." Within 15 minutes, she just described me everything mentioned in the text! Not only this, she also gave me a wider opinion about the text by telling me about Communism and how the Owner of Gemini Studio, S.S Vasan and Stephen Spender, the poet were having the same opinion against communism. 

She also told me about the book, 'The God that Failed' which refers to a collection of essays by six authors who wrote about their journey into Communism to disillusionment and Stephen Spender was one of them.

The examples she gave then, I always quote in my class. 

Today is 'Teachers' Day', and this is just my small endeavour to say thanks to her for being such a great teacher! 

Not Everyone can know thee..

The Almighty is watching 

What the mortal man is doing

helpless and dilapidated 

Why he is devastated!

Why the pain inside?

Thinking the Lord Infinite

They are just passengers of different paths

Ye are the passenger of the royal path!

Not everyone can know thee

Not everyone can know thee..

Shree Krishna as a Guide

Why we worship Shree Krishna?

The life of Shree Krishna gives us the message to be balanced and happy even in the worst conditions of life. He celebrated all of the moments of his life no matter either they were good or bad. A perfect example for all of us to how to deal with our sufferings without getting too much influenced from them. His 16 Kalas depict that He can think from 16 different perspectives in a single moment. Such a great intelligence and prudence of mind! 

He can give the message of Gita even in the battle field! A perfect order even in the commotion. A great guide who not only gave guidance to Arjuna but also gave him the ultimate Spiritual Knowledge i.e. Self Realization. To me He is friend, a father and a Guru. Wishing You an advanced Happy Birthday.
