Resolution 2021

 Although we suffered a lot I found best thing about 2020 is recovery of nature. It recovered itself to some extent due to lockdown(reduced human activity). I have not gone through COVID test. However I am safe till now. Hope you all are safe also.

Teachers' Day

Happy teachers' day💐💐💐

We celebrate teachers' day on 5th of September, birthday of our second President Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan since 1962.

He believed that "teachers should be the best minds in the country".

In our lifetime we get many teachers at different phases. But mother is considered as first teacher.

Teachers are compared to mother, father and friend also. They maintain the roles according to the need. They introduce us to the world of knowledge. Sometimes they beat also to bring us on the right track. A good teacher is always happy if his students perform better than him. Our ancient culture is adulterated due to invasions. Education system is destroyed. And student-teacher relationship got weakened with time. 

Whatever we learn from anyone, if we respect him it will save us from ego. Although a primary school teacher can't help in higher studies, but he can help in personal life. He can share his life journey. In the long run, experience works. And time is short to experience every failure. That's why it is said to learn from failures of others.

Let's Mentor

I have observed that attention is directly proportional to quality and vice versa. And attention is inversely proportional to number of gainers. If you read this article up to this, then I think you are a keen reader. You can mentor your juniors so that they can transform their lives. Share what will you do if someone take you to the age of him/her. If you think you didn't get proper values at certain stages, you can add that. Contact them regularly and ask if they need any help. Be the progress tracker.

Ganesh Chaturthi

 Today we celebrated Ganesh Chaturthi.

Ganesha is the younger son of Lord Shiva and Parvati. He is also known as 'Vighnaharta'(remover of obstacles). Lord Ganesha is worshipped first before starting any work.

 

I made a sketch of Lord Ganesha watching on YouTube. I felt very happy after making it. Then I edited by own.

Due to COVID-19 we didn't celebrate this year in crowd, but we prayed in our homes.

Mumbai's famous Lalbaughcha Raja's Pandal converted into blood donation and plasma donation camps. 

Several community puja organisers in Kolkata switched to the digital mode, so that devotees can observe the rituals from home. 

I think import of statues may have decreased due to the pandemic. This may be a good news. But our local potters are the real sufferers. We should help them.

May Lord Ganesha bless you and your family with peace and happiness.

Independence Day 2020

 

Today we celebrated our 74th Independence day maintaining COVID-19 guidelines. One year ago nobody thought of such situation. I hope situation will be better on our platinum jubilee celebration. However, we showed patriotism on digital platforms.

Let's go to past.
Before British invasion ,our country was self-reliant. Our country(Sone ki Chidiya) used to export only. It attracted people from all over the world. It included invaders also. Our motherland lost enormous amount of wealth due to these invasions.
But we suffered the British rule for longer time. It destroyed our self-sustained systems of Education,Agriculture,Business,etc. I don't believe that these losses can be recovered.
However after Independence our country emerged as the largest democratic country. A lot of sacrifices were done. We can't forget our freedom fighters. Today we are able to celebrate due to them only. 

Friends, we all can't go to boarder and fight to serve our nation. We should support our nation from within. In my opinion it is time to promote our local products. Today world is at our fingertip. So, before going to purchase anything, please see it in google.

Let's join hands.
Promote indigenous industry/products by heart.
Share your valuable ideas.

• It purifies the surrounding air by killing harmful bacteria.
• It provides oxygen even at night.
• It is used to cure skin diseases and many more.

Above picture is showing growth of the sacred fig that I planted one month ago. When it was potted it was having four leaves. In the time period of one month it gained four new leaves. Although it grows slowly, I get immense pleasure watching it's daily growth.

International Day of Yoga

If we are not doing yoga, this is the best day to pledge to do yoga. Nobody has time. But if we stay determined, we manage time. It is difficult to continue good habits contrary to bad habits.

In this material world physical fitness is not enough, mental fitness is required to live a happy life. Self satisfaction can be achieved by practising yoga. It is necessary to talk to self once a day. Meditation(comes under yoga) optimizes our productivity.

World Day Against Child Labour

They have no Choice

They are  Helpless

They have to kill their Interests

They also want to Live 

They have Dreams

They wish to Learn

They are Afraid

They Build for others

They can't Oppose 

They Understand their situation

Their lives are full of Risks

According to International Labour Organization, there are an estimated 152 million children in child labour, 72 million of which are in hazardous work. This is result of people's selfish desires.

It is time to rescue children suffering from child labour. If you can't rescue, at least don't employ.

 You can't change the world but you can change someone's world.

World No Tobacco Day

We are what we consume.

 It is applicable to both physical and mental state. We become healthier if we maintain a balanced diet. On the other hand, we become unhealthier if we consume unwanted products. And we all know health hazards of tobacco. According to statistics of WHO, tobacco kills more than 8 million people each year.

If a common man spend 10₹ daily on tobacco, then have a look on the figures below :
1 Day      -10
1 Month -300
1 Year    -3600
10 Years-36000
20 Years- 72000
From the above calculation we conclude that a common man will spend more than 70000 in 20 years. Spend will vary from person to person. If we see it in inflation point of view then the above cost may doubles or triples.
These are the people who invest like SIP to get cancer and other health hazards. Some of them announce proudly that they can live without a meal but they  can't survive a day without tobacco. Lockdown was a tight slap who talk like this.

Lockdown Lesson

Lockdown played a key role in taking away tobacco addiction. All had to live without tobacco as there was no supply. It saved their money as well as their health recovered to some extent.

Situation is going out of our hands...

Tobacco companies are targeting teenagers. They are using small influencers to celebrities for this.
If someone narrate his painful story to show how helpless he was, he is wrong taking tobacco. It is not the solution.

I have some Ideas....

1.Think about your family and friends.
2.Is not it dangerous for your future generations ?
3.What they will learn from you ?
Above questions will work like antidote against tobacco addiction.
Further we should make instructions for our mind. We should record it and listen it before going to sleep at night. Observe the changes in you.

Share it to those whom you wish to see happy.

#Stay Home Save Lives

Although we are in a war like situation, we can use this lockdown as stimulant .We should use this crucial time properly. It is time for introspection. I want your few minutes. Let me share some of my ideas that may help you. Sometimes we should use pen and paper along with mobiles (to make notes). So note the followings :
“It takes 21 days to form a new habit. "

1. Make To-Do List (What you will do after Lockdown)

2.  Maintain a diary (Capture these days)

8.Content writing (Poem,Story,Paragraph,etc.)
9.Make  Awareness  Videos
10. Choose your aim in life or make it stronger if you have decided already
11.Study about great characters of our Puranas ,Vedic sculptures
12.Where to Invest (Invest; after hearing this word ,everybody thinks about money, but  Time investment is more powerfull)
13.How you can Contribute to Society .

With my knowledge and experience I sorted out this list for all of you. Now I will be happy if you share in which points you are interested and will start from now.
