Following one's ideal

The easiest thing in the world will be to advice others. Many individuals will speak volumes but in action they will execute the least. I could feel this truth in a real sense when I imagined myself speaking in front of my students, may be in a welcome or a farewell meeting. Many good things will effortlessly ooze out of the vocal chord in the form of precious advice for the students. But to what extent we ,the teachers follow our own prescriptions is an open question for a realistic assessment. Many members of the teaching community will prefer voluntarily to include themselves in the group of people about whom we have initiated thinking in this very paragraph. . . . . . Is it not interesting to see the chasm which stands between our ideals and our own very materialistic happy go like lifestyle? Life needs serious consideration to follow one's own proposed constitution of an ideal life.

Tendency to blame others

Man can invent numberless reasons to blame others for his negligence and lack of dedication. For example, when I became conscious that I have discontinued my writing habit for the last some days, I readily started to blame my worries, my heavy duties and even not to spare my pen if the ink is finished up while drafting. But I never feel the importance of turning my eyes to my own weaknesses like my negligence to or lack of commitment in my undertakings.

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.
