A young man in search of food.

   A young man in search of food. 
                         Nowadays we know that everyone is facing the problems of employment, finance and family issue. Sometimes we never realise the pathetic situation of others unless we see them struggling and facing life. 
                    The same story of a young man, I came across, who lived with his parents and sisters nearby my area. He lived on rent and worked at the factory. He was not highly educated but a hard worker. One day I saw him carrying a big tiffin box for bringing some food. I asked others why he carried the big tiffin box every morning and evening. They shared his life story. He was only one breadwinner of his family. Since Janta curfew, his factory had not been working and not giving money. Initially, he managed his family for 15 days but he came to know that the lockdown was going on for many months. 
                    So he every day went in search of food on the road and fed the family. At the same time, others kept a line for taking grocery but that young man was on searching for the place where he could get the food. further, he was doing it without any complaining or hue and cry. He had the only mission of taking care of the parents and sisters. Perhaps he didn't ask the government for the job and money but his silent searching the food had to tell much more. 
                  Apart from that, he wouldn't ask the government for any loan or money to be deposited in his account. Being less educated, he was firm to tackle such situation with going outside and taking risk of Coronavirus. If he got infected with the virus, what would his family do? But somewhere he was ready to face it too. 
              By looking at him, I understood the sense of responsibility and concern for others. Maybe he is not only one person in India but there are many like him. And they face such situation daily. Now I feel that Corona becomes an enemy of humanity. In the end, It seems to me that he and his Tiffin box became a good friend.

    My teaching techniques for English language learners.     What works in one place doesn’t necessarily help at other side. That is true for teaching and learning at schools and colleges. There are certain reasons such as students' level, their family background, atmosphere, social activities, discipline and awareness factors etc. However, a teacher has to take his techniques based on his experience and observations to the class. So that he can change it from time to time. Being a learner, I jotted down some ideas for my teaching profession. At this stage, I feel that these are to be changed in the course of teaching and learning. 1) Icebreakers:- As soon as I enter the class, I try to use some ideas to make my class fresh, energetic and attentive. Maybe small activities such as a hand up, closing your eyes, taking deep breaths, rolling your hands, moving your body, clapping, touching your forehead, gargling and so on. That prepares my students for learning a language. S
