When was the last time you spoke for someone who was right, but alone against a group? Many of us grow up with an attitude of ‘So what?’ ‘What is the big deal?’ ‘That is not my problem.’ At times the situation is not even noticed by us. I am talking about speaking for someone…

About my blog
I launched my blog in 2020. Several thoughts arise in our mind. We speak them out at times, share a few and write down some times. While going through a rough phase in my life, I needed an outlet to express, to unleash. The situations arose all of a sudden in series and I did…
Empathy
A rare one in today’s generation. As a teacher I have come in contact with hundreds of kids. Since last four to five years, the kids I have come across are very cold and practical. The mere reason, lack of empathy in them. To feel what the other person feels is difficult, not impossible. Parents…
Technique for learning concepts – CUPR
When we learn concepts, there is a variety of the same. New day, new concept. Be it Languages, Math, Science or Social Studies. It is difficult for a student to store so much information in the pre occupied brain. I mean each factor affecting life, directly or indirectly does influence the mind set, creating a…
My Student – 💦 Ms. Pavithra Sethuraman
Adorned with a tiny black bindi, a round faced, big eyed girl stole my heart in the very first academic year of my school. Her name was Pavithra Sethuraman. She was timid yet fearless.

My Student – 💦 Mr. Hemant Shukla
There are two categories of people – First, those who assure and second those who act. Hemant belongs to the second one. As a student, I remember he was shy, introvert, humble and responsible. Because of his introvert nature, I rarely remember he approaching me for any purpose. A student spends hardly an hour of…
My Student – 💦 Ms. Shraddha Mallya
At the start of my teaching career, I was the class teacher of Grade 4 in my first year. My class was full of innocence, selfless love, responsible attitude and crystal clear hearts. A student named Shraddha made place in my heart. Responsible, caring, dignified were her few of virtuous qualities. I don’t remember a…
My Student -💦 Ms. Veeral Chheda
When I was in the school premises one day, I came across a small confident girl, standing with her hands on her waist. While wondering who she was, what caught my attention is the fearlessness she carried on her face. Her sweet innocent face was an additional reason for my admiration towards her. Later I…
