A night when i found someone !!

Apart from crackling leaves and jinxed barks I heard something that night …
Something like if somebody is crying in and asking for help as if someone is stucked somewhere or may be kept somewhere in the dark … I tried to concentrate , I tried to follow that voice for hours and hours ,I just wanted to help that poor soul…
After covering quite a long distance I was very tired was drowning in the my own sweat ugh I still could find out from where that voice was coming …
I sat onto the footpath it was 12:00 am…
Silence everywhere no sound ,not barks, no wind nothing I could feel ,accept my own heart beats …
Hope you aren’t thinking of ghosts at midnight… well there were no ghosts accept me …ha ha
With heavy breaths, loud heart beats and a sweaty body I finally discovered the origin of that voice …any guesses?
Well that was me , the inner me who was asking for help …don’t you think that was funny ?off-course it is ,when I just couldn’t  hear my inner voice before and when I finally heard it I didn’t recognized it .
More like a mirage, “mrgtrishna” as a deer always kept running whole of his life in the forest just to find out the source of smell which was actually coming from his body …but have you ever heard that voice of yours ? like somebody wanted talk to you and you cant  find him and then you just guess it may be as a ghost or so…
Ya this is probably a ghost ,your ghost ,the poor soul of yours …nobody else could hear ,could see ,could feel …
That day when I heard her begging for a life ,for freedom,for a company ,for someone just to share how she feels like,what she thinks about ,people ,life ,work and everything else …
That day I heard her , I heard her patently , I heard everything thing she wanted to say since forever …
She told me that she wanted to cry when she is upset ,she wanted to dance when she is happy ,she wanted eat anything she crave for without thinking of her weight ,she told me how much she loves talking ,she told me how much she hates medicines ,how much exhausted she is keeping herself into set of protocols , she told me how she wanted to fly ,free to every possible direction she could …

That night we had a wonderful conversation …
While returning  back to home I saw something  …a beautiful simile on my face .

For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.

I was happy ,I was relaxed,I was happy because now I wasn’t alone ,because now I got a friend who could never leave me alone,who is more like me ,who thinks like me ,to whom I could talk whenever I wish to no matter where m I , no matter if there are signals on phone or not , no matter if its day or night ,no matter ….actually now nothing matters to her and me .
We became best friends ,we talk ,we discuss ,we walk ,she hears me patiently ,she helps me out every time …
Since that night at any phase of  day I just find some time to spend with her ..
Not just in the silence now I can hear her even in a hell loud noise .

Wait!! tell me something have you ever found any friend like I did?
….No ?
Then why waiting get up and go for a walk i am sure you will surely find a wonderful partner like I did …
Walks are not just meant to experience nature or to loose weight …it is meant to discover something no matter if you cant show it to somebody else…
Spend sometime with yourself I m sure you will love it …

Let's talk about Student Empowerment

 What actually student empowerment is?
“Student empowerment mean encouraging a student to do what they want not what they have to do” 

Or You can say it mean “Giving a freedom to student to learn what they want not what they have to learn”.
But unfortunately, In our india we hardly find a school whose motive is to empowering students. Now the question is why that’s so?
What stop Student empowerment in india? 
The main reason behind this is motive of schools/colleges / and any other teaching institutions.
In india, almost every school aim is to improve overall performance record of school in the city. And they do this by sharping memory of students so they get good marks in exam which result in increasing school performance record.
The second reason which stop Student empowerment is lacking of creative teachers in schools.
I’m also student and i have experienced that most of teachers aim is to complete syllabus and after that they take written tests again and again just to increase student memory. In schools, most of students cramp things not learn them. Teacher always ask questions but they never encourage students to ask questions.Student never get permission to do things out of the box. They were bounded by number of rules.They are punish by teachers when they commit a mistake. Just tell me how we will learn if we didn’t commit mistakes. 
Well it’s enough now to talk on what stop Student empowerment…..
Now, let’s talk on ideas through which we can empower students. 
Give Your Students a Voice Through Forums for Student Feedback
You may remember from your own school days how much students sometimes complain about teachers (“she gives so much written work,” “he gave me a D just because I turned it in a day late!”). Now that’s only amplified through social networking. What if you could use that to your advantage? Teacher will getting constructive feedback from the students if teach via video conferencing. Setting up a forum for students to provide constructive and timely feedback — criticism or praise — through mediums like a group Google Doc, Twitter hashtag, Edmodo site, blog, etc., helps you improve your teaching. It also helps students, emphasizing that learning is about partnership and working together.
 
The second way is give Students Decision-Making Power in an Area of Curriculum
This might seem like an unrealistic idea in an age of common core standards and high-stakes tests — what if students veer drastically off the required course? However, this is actually entirely possible to incorporate with existing curriculum. For instance, if you teach language arts and the goal of the unit is teaching students how to write an effective response to literature or a literary analysis essay, who says everyone has to write about the same book written by some ancient dead writer (no offense, dead writers)? Besides, if you’re already scared of writing your very first response to literature, having to decipher ancient syntax isn’t going to help. So instead, why not have students pick a book of their own choosing — a novel This student-directed curriculum idea is applicable to many other subjects. Giving students the power to choose creates a sense of ownership over the learning.
The third way is Encourage Meaningful Technology Use in the Classroom
Many teachers tell students to turn off their devices when they walk into the classroom. However, it can be incredibly empowering to do just the opposite. By having your students bring their own devices, you open up a world of new learning opportunities (like the flipped classroom model, web quests, podcasts, virtual field trips via Skype, livestreaming with classes across the world, etc.), and you reaffirm that learning can happen anytime, anywhere. When students use their devices during class time to access learning resources that they can also get at home or on the go, we see that learning doesn’t just happen within the four walls of a classroom. Plus, it literally puts learning power in our hands. I know some teachers who have expressed concerns about rolling out any kind of technology they themselves didn’t know how to use that well. However, if that’s the case, don’t be scared to let your students teach you a thing or two about technology. If you’re worried about students slacking off on digital devices, it’s worth checking out the #pencilchat

friendships and my flight ….


Clutched into a trap of emotions, fears regrets under the sag of guilt I’ve past six years of my life.
With all those messy thoughts and noise signals suppressing my informative signals getting into my brain .I’ve waited this long and important period of my life.
People usually call it as depression but I could have never found any strong reason to call it depression I said I was just messed up wasn’t in really.
Being an understanding and responsible father my dad took me to psychologist for counseling and to a psychiatrist t but when I didn’t get any better he changed my doctor .year after year I’ve been treated under many different psychiatric supervision.
But the situation was getting worst and worst I moved to hostel where I was unable to adjust and overcome my mess.
After a long time period of time when I met one of my old friends, she observed something really unusual.
She asked me “where is my Jahnavi “.
I replied here “I am right in front of you “.but she wasn’t convinced with all those pointes I presented to justify my unusual behavior.
After a friendship of 15 years she knew me so well that she could clearly look deep into my soul and thy brain of mine, it didn’t took hrs for her to figure out my mess.
She didn’t consoled me neither did she asked anything. She only used to come at my place took me somewhere to eat and have fun and let me express all of my emotions. She didn’t advised me anything .she just made me introduced to the real me , she made me realized that I m special ,I m strong ,that I could do anything I wish to .
More like lord hanuman I’ve just forgotten my powers all I need to be jus recall them.
So she started spending most of her time hearing me and I puked all my mess in front of her and trust me that was damm relaxing.
This process was more like doing amplitude modulation by passing an attenuated signal through a low pass filter making it free from noise and retrieving only information signals.
Now my brain was only getting informative signals and I started discovering my own new personality shaping it according to the way I wanted to be, rather than stay spilled on to the wall.
Truly a friend in need is a friend indeed…
A friend did what no psychologist and psychiatrist could do.
She made my soul free, free from that cage of mess and made me what I m today
I m free today, free from regret, free from all those scary thoughts, guit and free from that word of depression.
I use to think why we need friend and now I know all of us need a true friend more than anything else.
Do share all your inner demons with your friends ,call them ,tell them that you are so lucky to have them ,tell them every small to smallest thing that feels buried in .just split all that up don’t swallow it down.
Love your friends, respect them…
Be with them in all those time when you need them and all those times when they need you.
Live free…
Feel free…
Be you, keep sharing, and keep smiling…
Thanks for reading

Not ready yet …


6th Feb. 1997 a baby girl was born in kalaniketan, who has always been pampered and nurtured with eternal love and care .this baby girl was given entire attention of the family which probably a baby boy could ever get .yes you guessed it right that’s me …
Since the day when a child takes birth the entire family got sparkled with joy and happiness .Till the extend a baby could see he/she would only be recognising smiling faces .so ,this is an occasion for celebration right ?off course and that’s why we celebrate birthdays .
And special mention to the first child as I’m the elder one too .New parents are usually very excited for this great new challenge ,new responsibilities and lots of new fun memories .
Right from his clothes ,toys ,soap, medicine ,pillows every small to smallest thing has to be taken care of, not just after the baby was born but even before than that, in fact since the day when they get the news of pregnancy .not just parents but everyone else starts discussing the baby’s name ,his /her career etc.,
Well if a coin has a head then surely there would be tail too. And my tale is about “death”.
I clearly don’t remember all of my childhood but in my blurry pictures all I remember was only a few faces .I don’t remember how did my mom reacted when she saw me for the first time .neither do i remember about how my dad took me in his arms for the first time .
My childhood memories starts with a park, a park where my grandpa use to take me, every morning and the evening for a walk, with the smell of those flowers I use to pluck .including all those fascinating stories my grandma use to tell me, with all those edibles grandpa use to offer me so that I would stop crying .and all those games I played with my mom ,with all those toys and chocolates my dad use to bring.
Till the day my baby brother was born .No I didn’t got abundant neither did they started ignoring me .but in my blurry pictures its most of me and my grandparents. The time when grandpa used to drop me to the school, when we use to play together ,when he teaches me in the evening and all those winter nights with born fire and all those fun moments I spent with them.
All those memories and all those moments always made me feel like I’m the luckiest person that I have such cool people in my life.
They have never let me feel that I’m anyways less than a guy and all those values they have poured into the mud of my soul which made me what I m today . The best gift they have ever given me was my vision of practicality and positivity .so, me and my small world starts and ends within these few people. whenever I sat onto the platform and wished to fly they have always been my shield or should I say my all time support .
They have never let me felt insecure or lonely but the only thing that has always made me restless of thinking was ,what if when one day ill woke up and there would be no one to accompany my morning walks? What if when one day I came back to home and couldn’t find them? What if when one day there would be no one to turn me towards the right path? What if when one day there would be no one to tell me all those fascinating stories that have always been my motivation to move ahead? how would I play when my aces got missing ?what if one day there would be no one to hear me out, with whom would I share my inner demons, my fears ,my excitement and all of my emotions?
Years and years passed away I grew young and they grew older ,I grew strong ,independent ,they became weak and dependent ,dependent on each other dependent on someone or should i say us ,yes we the kids…
Since the day when my grandpa got his first cardiac attack I was asked to prepare myself for that one day. Since then I was trying harder and harder to accept that after all those winning heads in the family there would a tail some day. When my bubble shield would be broken and I had to fly on my own.
Every next time when he got sick my brain got stabbed by all those scary thoughts. And probably he knew all about my fears. so, whenever I use to meet him I always saw him smiling and assuring me that he is goanna live really longer ,assuring me that whenever ill get back home ill find him sitting next to me with same old stories and a smile on his face.
On March 7, 2018 he passed away on ventilator when I was here miles away and I got this news 4 days after he was gone. Next day was my exam so I had no time left to shed tears; I had no one to share my pain with. that time I had to focus yes, I knew that was hard but no other options left for me and somehow I manged, i managed to believe that when ill get back home ill find him sitting next to my with the same smiling face as he promised me .
No I couldn’t accept the truth because my brain wasn’t ready yet, wasn’t ready to accept any information, knowledge, facts, no news, nothing.
Every time when I think about how death would be? when there would be no pain ,no emotions, no stress, no work pressure etc., when suddenly you stop feeling anything ,end of all the emotions and you will reach to some other world .something that is really memorising .well that’s actually what we wish for ,no pain ,stress less life …
So is it like all this time we were waiting for death since the day we were born? Actually yes and thus this tail worth celebrating too…
But then why people cry? Well it’s not about the pain in death it’s the pain of losing some one, the pain of defeat in the battle where you failed to save them.
The pain for which we are always scared of when we already knew that one day would surely come when all your 52 cards would get abundant .that one day your shield would be broken .
See I know all the facts and figures but I’m still not ready to accept this death sentence. Are u?

Khelenge Ji-jaan se – Future of sports in India

“Kaun kehta hai Hindustan me dum nhi hai, ek baar sports me se politics hta kr toh dekho…gali gali me champion milenge.” – R. Madhavan. Movie: Saala Khadoos.
 
Indians are known for their spirit of living and enjoying the life to fullest, being one of the oldest civilization, india gave world the beauty of music, dance and most importantly sports.
Today too many games that are present to the world from India are still being played, so why it seems like this proactive and young generation country of ours has become a lost star in the sky of sports and athletics.
The madness people of India have for cricket is somehow lost when it comes to enthusiasm of other games and sports. I am not saying that liking or mass-liking a single is bad (but maybe obsessing this, like look people tend to behave so badly to the family of the team players if they ever lose a match.)
 
Actually, this is not the real real problem, the problem is lack of interest for sports in our country youngsters.
There was a time when we as students, used to wait for our sports period because it was like a breath of fresh air from our daily activities but sadly this excitement is also vanishing and sports in school has limited itself to a period.
Schools are the 1st place where a kid is exposed to opportunity of bright future, but what will happen to the future of our country where school teaches us that sports is just a EXTRA period.
Kids want to become astronaut (for a short period of time), doctor,engineer,businessmen etc but not a sports person ( not including cricket here) and by chance any kid dares to see this dream then, our ASIAN parents, with a slipper in their hands and guilt trips in their conversation, are more than enough to kill that dream.
These all were problems on personal basis but what about the problems on qider basis. We can see the bureaucracy and corruption embedded in this too.
Inadequate facilities,  irresponsible behaviour, lack of equipment etc are the problems which can be dealt somehow, but what can we do about the officials who cannot see the name and fame of country in front of their hunger.
Sports is one of the most pious form of arts of our body and mind, here, we exerts ourselves to death, sweat infinitely but still get happy and satisfaction with the result.
But mixing politics and corruption with this art is a shameful act for our country.
There are no of obstacles which are in the way of future of sports in India, which can only be dealt by continuously striking the conscience of the authorities.
Firstly, when any sports man is pursuing his/her sport, he or she has to face many obstacles itself on the first step- training, fees,rules and requirements, bureaucracy, red tapism, brown nosing etc.
After this when finally passing through all this struggles   they qualify for any tournament, they will be kept devoid of standard basic facilities. Is this the respect a person should get who is out there, representing our country in front of so many competitors, and try to win for it.
Definitely not, and why only sports person, we should too criticise and raise our voices for our generation, firstly start with schools and persuade them to teach and let them PLAY too, after all SPORTSMANSHIP is also a subject and that too an important one.
Secondly if your child want to pursue his career in any sports, the least you can do is to support him instead of scaring him off from the unforeseen future.
Knock the  door of the authorities too that either they should improve the level of sports in India or they should stop making comments on the no of golds India wind in Olympics while sipping their tea.
And Lastly you, yes you can too do to. No matter what your age is come out and play,encourage others to, take the kids from your neighbourhood and coach them in the game you are good with. To be honest, it will leave you with happiness and less of guilty of not enjoying your life to the fullest. Today’s genration is too aware and is working with government for the betterment of the field. So why not us too.
Sports is not just only a physical exercise, its an emotion which will make you feel confident, I still regret and is salty over  the fact that I wasn’t given an good opportunity otherwise I would also have at least a memory of me where I was happy with the game I loved.
Also isn’t it time of coming of summer vacations !!!, that’s your chance, go out and make a change.
 
Thanks for reading and double thanks if you actually apply it  in your life.

#Let'stamelife

Every day may not be good but there is something good in every day” said correctly by some random person who understood the deep core of life ….. it’s just at a distance of a crucial point .. which is, Optimism or positivity.
We all know that positive thinking is a mental or emotional attitude which lets us see the bright side of life. A positive person expects happiness, success, and all good results in life.
But does positivity limits itself to boundaries of an individual life only or only till expectations of all good results? Why is it important to be positive in one’s life?
Positivity does not limit itself to only expectations of best results and getting all goal of life with flying colors, it also deals with the aftermath.. what if one day you lose a chance or even may lose a fight with life, then what ??
A child when born becomes the hope for his or her parents’ life. They nurture that child with their blood sweat and tears, both of them are trying their hardest to give you a better life than theirs … specially a mother , who keeps you as a part of herself for 9 months and then bring you to this world by almost breathtaking and dreadful pain… and then one day you a fail a mere exam, which is obviously not bigger than you, and hang yourself to death without even thinking about them for 2 minutes with your right set of mind … does life finishes, the moment you failed your exam !!? THIS IS ABSOLUTE UNGRATEFULNESS!!!!
Being positive does not only mean to think good of every situation but also to be thankful to all the things , people , opportunities of your life and even the failures. Positivity is power and your feelings are your power whether it is positivity or negativity …. for example if you will only look out for negativity in your job then in return the job will also give you negativity, say- no promotions, a grumpy supervisor, non-cooperating and ungrateful colleagues etc. It’s like a cycle of give and take, where you will receive whatever you give out in the universe.
Believe it or not but we humans, are like magnets … what?? is it hard to believe for you? , then lets see it for yourself, if we begin our day with a ‘good mood’ and then our day will also return that ‘good mood’ in many ways, for example, let’s say its morning and you are on your way to university or job, suddenly you remember that you haven’t completed some Very important task given to you by your boss or professor, you start to panic, concerned about your image in front of that said senior but in such situation too, you decide to not loose your cool or curse the circumstances. You decide to give your sincere apologies to the professor or boss without any lame excuses and except the fact that you were not careful enough and you will make sure that such a thing wont happen in future.
There you go this is what a healthy mindset is all about. People tend to forget that excepting their mistake or apologisingis not the sign of disgrace but it is a step from you towards being a better human being. And the story above is a true incident of my life…and yours too. Let’s face we all have faced or will definitely face such morning in our life where we forgot something important to do. To be honest sometimes in my case, the professor would mysteriously forget the VERY IMPORTANT TASK she had given and we all were saved, and yes it was only sometimes.
A small world of positivity and thankfulness can make your day and even your peers’ and everyone around you, Its all about vibes … it can give us all amount of mental peace that a human craves for .. love, happiness, excitement for anything new , adventure , satisfaction and the biggest one – hope for a new beautiful day to be given by god , these are all perks given by positivity .
What if one day you woke up in morning and find your self falling in endless pit of sorrow and hopelessness , where you can see no future for yourself , everything that was important to you was driven away from you and you lost your appetite and desire to wake up in morning and start new day … lets take a famous example – Sylvester Stallone , who is a star of Hollywood and idol to look upon. In his words, at point in life “because I was at the end – the very end – of my rope” he was born with a facial paralysis due to the doctor’s mistake , did it prevented him from doing and giving his best in hope of better life everyday ?
Lets take another coming of age example … Lilly Singh aka Superwoman , who at a point was at the pit where she cannot see her future and everything was hopeless. no goals, no job , no sparks left in her . situation worsened with panic attacks where she was thought herself dead and she was end of life , but her determination and positivity gathered her courage to clean the crap out of her life , and start even if there was no ray of hope . She started walking in dark and made her first video for her YouTube channel iisuperwomanii , with 10 views and some ugly and racist comments she started a journey which is now today over 13 million subscribers known as #teamsuper , many awards, a millionnaire and a place in name of top 10 youtubers
What if they both have stopped trying and gave up on their lives , they would have cursed and be pessimist or in other words be a LOSER in life as they gave to life without even trying once …
Its never over !! You can do it , overcome your fear , mould your failures into success and hussle harder . Its life which should follow you not you , who should follow life . its never late to fight back because the greatest obstacle you face is not anyone else but you …
Truly as I started writing this article …oh scratch that ..this kind of open letter for my first blog because of the season of BOARDS AND OTHER ENTRANCE EXAMS which somehow are compared to the ghosts of Paranormal activity in this country, where the supercool parents also looses there chill
