The Best Teacher



Despite all odds you must remember that you are strong. Do not underestimate your power. The power of living a life of your choice, doing what you want, exploring new arenas, getting physically and mentally fit. So what if you had a bad experience? So what if you were betrayed? So what if you met the right person at the wrong time? So what if you had multiple breakups and hook ups? So what if your dream job is not the right fit for you? So what if you had a bad interview? So what if you are drudging on with life? So what if you are faking to the world? So what if you just got divorced / still single? So what, so what, so what to all the 'ifs and buts' which you think about yourself and doubt your self. 
The above 'so what' questions and many more may be on your list. But despite all odds if you are alive today remember God has destined that you live the life he blessed you with. The above list could vary or match with so many of us, yet we carry on with life. We try to live by being strong and dying within. But dying within does not go on for long. There will be a time when you will get tired of yourself and think of either ending your life / finding a solution to your question. Life is a strict master who is never merciful towards the student. Life teaches the toughest lessons through the worst situations and we all endure and survive. We are born to be survivors amidst all the chaos. We are destined to undergo the trials and tribulations that life has designed for us and emerge as winners / losers.  

Do not be disheartened during the trials. Keep praying and affirming your faith in the Almighty. Never doubt the intentions of God despite all odds. God's presence is always around us but we deny him; we fail him. Your courage lies in remaining calm amidst the chaos and smiling. I have learnt my lessons in life through my experiences of life and many were brutal. I have had major ups and downs personally and professionally. The pain and laceration of the trials, the betrayal, the deprival and my failures have not left me. I continue learning from those lessons. I pray fervently for the strength to endure and emerge as a phoenix from my ashes. I strive to improve myself every moment. The worst part is forgiving your self. It is difficult for me to still forgive myself for the mistakes I committed / for trusting the wrong persons / for being blind to the conspiracies / many other reasons. 
What I learnt is that the world does not really bother or care what goes on within your life because as per a quote - "Kaha zakhm khol betha pagle!!! Ye namak ka sheher he". The world is mostly full of people who are happy to see someone in trouble. Everyone has their own cross to carry rather than helping you with your cross. You may rarely find a person in the form of a friend / companion / brother / sister / any other relation who genuinely care for you. If you have one please never let that person down. Remain loyal, humble, caring and forgiving towards this person. They are like your mirrors who show you the real picture. Be glad and grateful that you have someone like this.
The best teacher - Life is going to have shocking ups and downs which will leave you shattered , baffled and devoid of everything you love the most. Do not be disheartened and overshadowed by these. Strive to find amicable solutions that make life easy to live. Do not harbor grudges against life as it give you joy too. If you do not complain when in joy how can you complain when in sorrow? Just go with the flow, observe, meditate and learn to endure. Savor the moments as if your are savoring your favorite delicacy and enjoy the lessons of the best teacher called life to the fullest amidst the punches.

My Perception of a Teacher.

Image
Teaching is a noble profession because it shapes the character, caliber and future of an individual. But today when I look around I find students who are afraid of their teachers. Afraid to raise questions, afraid to put forward their doubts & dilemmas, afraid to be in the class. The youth today is that breed of intelligence who is tech savvy, is updated about the latest changes on a daily basis but among these you will find students/children who are highly demotivated, depressed, lacking in confidence, anxious and are in a state of trauma. The youth today faces lot of competition and is always bogged down with the pressure from their families, their own expectations and immense peer pressure. Thanks to our society that sets the norms for being a topper, a ranker and keeps the students in an incessant rat race with their dreams & aspirations, full of anxiety, unable to overcome their shortcomings and full of frustration at times. It is the moral responsibility of that perso

Stepping Out of Your Comfort Zone

Image
   All of us are so comfortable and carefree being in a comfort zone of our choice. This leads to trouble when we face adverse situations. No matter however adverse the situation is we humans are wired to tackle it and face it through a variety of jugaads. For some of us our home and our room is a comfort zone. Some are comfortable amidst their family members and feel threatened when with strangers or someone they know but are not friendly with them. My comfort zone is that where I am able to follow my routine and go about smoothly with my day completing each and every task that I do for me, for the home and for my family. Like all of us change is difficult for me to digest. I do not like changes in my schedule; be it my meal time, my work time or anything that needs to be done regularly.    But now that I am away from home in a hostel at EFLU, Hyderabad for the Post Graduate Certificate in the Teaching of English (PGCTE) Contact Programme of 1 month, I feel bewildered facing the

The Parable of the Pencil

Image
As children we used a pencil for writing and drawing, but today with reference to the  story of the pencil maker, here I am sharing my views with you all about a pencil. The pencil maker advised the pencil 1. You will be able to do great things BUT only if you allow yourself to be held in someone's hand. Similarly we as humans can do great things if we abide to the laws of God. Trust in God despite of whatsoever is going on in your life. Have faith in God because he will never let you down. Sooner or later he will lead you to your dreams and help you achieve them. Never lose faith in God, the Almighty. Be accessible to all around you and let others have a share to use the gifts that you possess. If you possess knowledge related to your forte share it and it multiplies abundantly passing from person to person. This way you too will be able to enhance your knowledge and sharpen your skills. We all need to sharpen our skills time and again to sustain in this transitioning world.
