Strike Like A Hammar

The voice of mass is the voice of god. When a mass is strongly united for truth and justice, it becomes invincible and becomes the guiding lamp of society. In a democratic country the right to stage a strike is a powerful weapon against all forms of injustice. In these days the media coverage of a genuine strike can really bring changes. We, the employees of govt ssd higher secondary school Govindapally, believe it. From 1st December,09 we were wearing black badges in protest of govt's unjust job discrimination and on 7th we went into a demonstration strike. The cooperation of print media and electronic media helped us boost our moral strength. We feel the use of media in a proper manner can bring unprecedent  changes in our society. For the first time we learnt how to stage strike for our rights.

Rs 2000/- for a 6 minutes' job.

I had read in books that great speakers charged minute-wise for the speeches they made.And they often charge lakhs per minute. I dislike such commercial motives but I had always dreamed  to be a good speaker. And that dream turned into a reality when I spoke for 6 minutes on the stage of MALYBANTA 2009 as an anchorer and could really electrify and exult the audience to fullest limit. I was self satisfied and further, I  was gifted a sum of Rs 2000 by the District Information and Public Relation Office for my contribution to the stage show. This token of recognition to my talent was really a boost to explore the best in me with a renewed strength.

This was my first incident of life where I turned my ability to speak publicly into monetary equivalent.

An expressive picture...

My feelings were stirred and for a moment I felt an inner calmness when I saw a picture of Lord Krishna sitting intimately with Goddess Radha. The effect of  the picture stangely silenced the disturbing notes of the world and pushed the consciousness to forget the self-consciousness for a while. Is it the happiness of  love which touches life magically and transforms it into a paradise? I wondered and at the same time I was gripped with the irresistible desire to share my happiness with my beloved readers.

A lesson learnt from my principal

Power often misleads. That is why it is said that POWER CORRUPTS AND ABSOLUTE POWER CORRUPTS ABSOLUTELY. A man in power generally tends to coerce others by applying his superiority. And at times his egotistic attitude oppresses others. The human side of life is ruthlessly ignored and he becomes more and more tyranical day by day. Even great leaders like Indira Gandhi had fallen into the trap of such inconsideration which power usually accompanies with it. Power hardens the heart and makes the man insensitive. But great are those men, who behave like men, irrespective of being in power and never use power as punitive measures. My principal is a man who shares that great quality. He never uses his power to inflict pain upon anyone. He bestows optimum liberty to everyone. He is non- interfering but few people understand this greatness. I hope this example should be ever alive in my mind & guide me never to use power against anyone. People in higher position should be compassionate enough to alleviate the pains of their subordinates. Everybody is facing a hard battle in life, so the ointment of compassion and love is essential to all relationships for lessening the frictions of the modern life.

Few lovely words from mr. Samal
