Changing Role of Parents in career selection
Life is like Mathematics, to work out your life you need formulas
that suit your uniqueness. The same is true of a career. A well-planned
career is instrumental in a happy and satisfied life. Parents having gone
through this process can help their children from making mistakes in
selecting a career. Parents need to be facilitators and not influencer of
their choices. On one hand a parent’s experience can help in the career
selection process, on the other hand sometimes it might hinder it.
Although parents have gone through this process, however the times
have changed, and their children have very different environment to deal
with and sometimes their choices don’t match with today’s reality.
The parent of today is more than just an authority figure. They are a
friend, philosopher and guide. With a more dynamic educational
environment wherein, the children are taught to be independent and to
take decisions on their own, the parent’s role diminishes.
Involved parents know their children the best and along with vital
information about new career paths and career choices they can
facilitate the process of career selection for them.
There are few factors that are of immense importance in the career
selection process. The parents need to understand and consider these
factors while selecting the career option. Important factors are child’s
aptitude, child’s interest, availability of course, career scope and
remuneration.

IS PATRIOISM CONCOMITANT WITH
ENTERTAINMENT ????
‘When the National Anthem is played, it is imperative for everyone to show
honour and respect. It would instill a sense of committed patriotism and
nationalism.’ It was under this premise that he apex court of India ruled that the
national anthem must be played before every movie in a cinema hall, not to
mention everyone present must stand to pay allegiance to the same.
But would this step really infuse that ‘sense of committed patriotism’
which the Supreme Court talks about? Apparently, no. This is because reverence
towards the motherland is one thing that comes spontaneously, from the inner
self and cannot be forced-fed extrinsically. You cannot make a person develop a
liking for something or someone simply by instructing him to do so. In the same
way, you cannot make a person garner adherence to patriotic ideals by directing
him to stand for 52 seconds.
Furthermore, the Supreme Court is desirous that we, the citizens of the
country, be fed with a dose of national favour every time we visit a cinema hall.
What about other times? The sense of patriotism is a continual process, not for a
few seconds only.
Since patriotism is an emotion, those who are patriotic will remain so no
matter whether the national anthem is played or not. On the other hand, the rest
of us who are not patriotic to that extent, will find it difficult, if not impossible,
to inculcate devoutness for the nation by standing before the start of a movie.
The Supreme Court has explicitly stated that it is an obligation for a
person to stand ‘when’ the anthem is played. But what it has apparently failed to
address properly is the question of ‘where’ the anthem is played. As per
convention, it is played at international sporting events, diplomatic events and
days of national importance. The cinema hall is not the best place where it
should be played. Every noe and then, when a person enters a movie hall, it is
with the object of buying himself some entertainment. However, as it seems
now, reviving one’s patriotism has also become a purpose. In lieu of this,
Asaduddin Owaisi rightly remarked – “Hope Supreme Court orders Indian
Parliament to sing our national anthem before every session.”
It is ironical and sad that our revered national anthem will even be played
before some shoddy and abominable film. This will bring down importance of
the anthem.
An argument in favour of the national anthem being played is that it is the
one cementing factor across different culture, religion and ethnicities and thus
will bind us closer. However, there have been instances of brutal violence when
a person refused to stand for the national anthem. As can be observed, this
measure has led to acts of brutality which is in unequivocal contrast to the unity
or harmony it was supposed to achieve.
On the bottom line, it is our duty to uphold what the Supreme Court
instructs us to. Nevertheless, the fact remains that this will not be out of love for
the country but as a compulsion.
In conclusion, Jesse Ventura, defining patriotism, says – “I believe
patriotism comes from heart. Patriotism is voluntary. It is a feeling of loyalty and
allegiance that is a result of knowledge and belief.” Quite contrary to the
Supreme Court directive, isn’t it?

'New Year Resolutions'
As 2017 is coming to an end I thought of writing an article on 'New Year
Resolutions'
Many people make resolutions during the New Year. A resolution is a firm
decision to do something. The most popular New Year’s resolutions are losing
weight, saving money, getting fit, and to stop smoking. About 45% of the
population makes one or more resolution every year. However, only 8% of
people actually attain their goal.
There are several ways to help your chances of achieving your resolution. The
first way is to be realistic. Setting small goals is much better than trying to make
big life changes. 35% of New Year’s resolutions fail because of this. If you were
planning to get in shape, for example, you will have a better chance if you start
with a little exercise each day. People who try to run 5 kilometers each morning
from January 1st will likely give up soon.
Another tip is to plan out how to achieve your resolution. If you want to lose
weight, for example, decide what kind of food you will stop eating and how
often you will exercise. Making a detailed list will help you. Once you have
made your plan, stick to it! It is important to always adhere to your plan.
Another way to make sure your resolution succeeds is to track your progress. If
your plan is to lose weight, write down how much weight you lose each week.
Make a chart of your weight loss and put it somewhere you can see it. This will
help you to keep making an effort. Almost 33% of people who fail their New
Year’s Resolutions do so because they didn’t track their progress.
All the best if you're planning for a new year resolution too!

Participation is more important than winning
Parents always think of their child being the best in the world. They think
only of winning. But, they don’t realize that winning is not important but
participating and learning things is. Success is not always about winning but
being happy with the achievements and abilities. Parents should always take
care about how they respond to their child’s attempts in any field and this will
define the word success for him and eventually determine the spirit with which
he will lead the rest of his life. Therefore it is important to appreciate his
efforts and encourage him to participate.
Each child is different. One child may excel in class, the other may be good in
some other field. So parents should never expect the child to succeed in every
task. This will create undue pressure on him.
If you just emphasize on winning, the child may develop a fear of failure and
may refuse to participate or he may become over ambitious and may not be
able to take failures in his life. Participating helps the child to find out his own
positives and negatives. It helps the child to expand his boundaries and
explore more. Nishi Gupta

Global Warming and Lack of Emotions
A word which we often see in news flash, articles, magazines or we
hear it in some interviews, cultural program is GLOBAL WARMING. Global
warming, also referred to as a climate change, is the observed century scale
rise in the average temperature of the Earth’s climate and its related effects.
Have we ever thought about what is the cause of this global
warming? Let us accept the truth wholeheartedly. It’s we the social animals,
“Human Beings”. There is one intense problem which we tend to overlook or
ignore it is lack of emotions in us and our coming generations. Global warming
and lack of emotions are interlinked. We need to try and build emotions into
our kids and rest all will be done.
Researchers say the answer to whether emotions can be cultivated is
an overwhelming YES. The problem is too many adults think that bullying,
cruelty, insensitivity or unkind actions are “just a phase”, a boy issue or an
inborn temperament and those are huge misconceptions.
Compassion and kindness comprise the essence of humanity.
Empathy is the critical emotional ability to put oneself in other people’s shoes
to understand their feelings and situations. Children may understand it as
having sympathy for people when they experience misfortune. Because low
empathy or lack of it is a risk for aggression and violence, instilling empathy in
our youth is essential. Perhaps unexpectedly, having empathy also protects
them from becoming victims.
We, parents and teachers need to put our hands together and make this
place a better place to live for our kids. Let us put empath, kindness and
courage back on our child rearing and educational agendas.

Examinations- Fervour or Fever?
Once again examinations are around the corner and this time the ‘final one’.
If taken in the right spirit, they can be milestones in one’s life or else will leave
one with fear, stress or frustration.
With little introspection and care, one can always turn this examination period
into an exciting period.
This is the time when one gets the opportunity to assess oneself. Examinations
should be considered as the assessments to know one’s level of understanding
and one’s preparation to apply that understanding.
Examinations are a part of curriculum. If one manages his/her time well, these
will go as a smooth sailing.
One should not let go recreation for the sake of examinations. But one needs to
be wise enough to choose appropriate ways of recreation. For example,
watching television or chatting with friends do not contribute to relaxation but
add more strain to the eyes. Instead, one should opt for listening to music,
going for a walk or playing a sport. Such activities rejuvenate the brain.
One can utilize the support system of parents and teachers during examinations
by approaching them for problem solving and counseling.
Examinations are the end. They are the beginning to one’s next stage of
progress.

Tolerance, like any aspect of peace, is forever a work in
progress, never completed, and, if we're as intelligent
as we like to think we are, never abandoned.
~Octavia E. Butler
At present, the virus of intolerance has acquired global dimensions. Religious and political
persecution has become rampant. Intolerance stems from an invincible assumption of the
infallibility and truth of one’s beliefs over others, and with the passage of time, this leads
to forcible imposition of one’s ideology on others, often resulting in violence.
The necessity for tolerance has been internationally acclaimed. It is evident that there is
an essential linkage between tolerance, human rights, democracy and peace.
Tolerance is a moral obligation or duty which involves respect for the individual as well as
mutual respect and consideration between people. Tolerance between people makes it
possible for conflicting claims of beliefs, values and ideas to coexistence as long as they
fit within acceptable moral values.
Tolerance can be shown in many ways, on different occasions and at different times. A
person might fully disagree with others on any issue, from religion to politics, while at the
same time honoring and respecting those with different ideas and opinions and treating
them with full dignity and honor.
Tolerance is needed in all spheres of life, and on every level and on every stage, because it
plays a vital role to establish peace and love, from the smallest unit up to the highest unit
of society.
Tolerance does not mean that only one person or party shows tolerance and the others do
not. When some people disagree on a certain issue they must advocate and express their
opinion in a respectful manner. Tolerance must be shown from both sides on issues, in
order for it to be effective.
Here, let it be clear that showing respect and tolerance to the opinions of others does not
necessarily mean you have to compromise your principles or embrace or accept others’
ideas. It is simply a matter of fundamental human rights.
The right of every human being that his sensibilities and sentiments shall not be violated
and offended must be recognized & every human person has the right to have an opinion
and to express it.
How I taught my grandmother to read by Sudha Murthy
Sudha Murthy is an awesome writer. In this book there are lot many stories
dealing with her own life. The best story according to me is the first story itself
that ‘How I taught my grandmother to read’.
It is easy and in convincing language, classified as chapters and every story has
a moral which makes us to understand the importance of life.

Immunity is the season's magic word. When temperatures drop and windows
and doors stay shut, viruses can thrive indoors; if your immune system isn't up
to the task, you're likely to catch the latest bug to hit town. This means less
energy, the possibility of health complications, and just plain old feeling awful.
That's why it's essential to ward off the very real threat of colds, flu, and other
scary winter germs. It’s essential to safeguard yourself from the cold weather
and stay healthy throughout the season.
