  14th Day Diary Date: 31.01.2022                              Day: Tuesday Started day with dream-sleep meditation at 7.30. I had a new experience and felt fresh. It rejuvenated me and my thought. Later on, I went to school for some educational and writing work. At school, I finished my syllabus for 11 commerce and science. Further, I was doing the practice and revising the grammar section. On the last day, I was supposed to take my Tamil class. But I took it easygoing and forgot it. I thought to need to revise some of my schedules and reset them to learn them. However, I just shared all of these and postponed it naturally. After that, I never kept learning seriously. That became a part of my nature and life. The evening was also a little free, but I didn’t utilize it fruitfully. I had some time a series of questions before me. These were about; Why had I behaved fake with others? How did I lie with others and myself? Why did I ignore some of my commitments?    What wa

  Report on Uttarayan Ans:- Uttarayan celebration at Decent Child High School Date:12 Jan 2022 Surat Uttarayan festival, known as Hindu Tradition Makar Sankranti, was celebrated at Decent Child School on 12 January 2022. It was a mark of love and donation. So, the students received the instruction that they would bring sweets and old clothes for slum dwellers. So, it was decided by them donate these objects to the poor. As per their plan, they have formed the group under the leadership of the subject teacher. Then, they went to the slum area and mixed with the people. Later on, they distributed the chocolates and the Indian sweets. Apart from that, they gifted the old clothes and new dresses. Simultaneously, they played with the children and flew the kites. They spent the day with the families. At 12 o clock, they got back to their respective families with happiness and satisfaction. They remembered the day and realised the true meaning of humanity.  

      13th   Day Diary Date: 30.01.2022                        Day: Sunday Sunday was very thoughtful and productive. It started with home tuition at my home. I guided my students and also worked upon my routine. I kept thinking over my skills and thinking patterns. Though I was educated and well-versed yet confused and uncontrolled.                 The entire day I was thinking about my education and its usage. Still, I didn’t have the clarity and ability to channel my thinking properly. Simultaneously, I spent the day leisurely and wordlessly. In the evening, I went for a walk and saw a herd of peacocks while walking. Therefore I didn’t disturb them and just observed them. They were in a group and grazing there.   It seemed to me that they conveyed directly that they should be undisturbed and let them have some privacy. Then, I had a meeting with my friend. We both had a serious discussion over New Education Policy and its implementation. And how it would impact the teach

  12th Day diary Date: 29.01.2022                        Day: Saturday After a day skipped, I felt that I was writing my diary mechanically and not purposefully. So I started to study the day deeply. Further, I realised whatever happened was good and rightly led me where I wanted to go. Similarly, I observed it yesterday. The day was full of activities and learning. So, I became very grateful to my friends Mr Sandip Sharma and Mr Afroz Khan helped me shape my career creatively. I had to work hard and carry it in full momentum. A seminar on NEP was organised at Ume School. It was conducted by Dr Rashi Somani. She kept it interactive and technologically. She stressed on objectives of the new education policy with live examples. It was a very fruitful session for all. I was present in that programme and liked it very much. Before going to bed, I was supposed to work on my last day’s diary. But I listened to my lazy nature. And I didn’t complete it.   

  11th Day Diary Date:27.01.2022                                      Day: Thursday Yesterday was a day without helping hand as I had given my laptop to my brother in laws for his work. So, I took help of my friend and worked at his office. After that, I went to school and carried a flow of my past thoughts which always disturbed me and put me into a dilemma. But somehow I disconnected it and moved ahead.   Coming to home at 5.15 and had my tuition. At that time, I was requested that I would have joined the dream-sleep activity. But I avoided it by sharing that I had my regular class. But next time I would joint it by confirming. I had my dinner alone as I had come late after finishing the night class. Then my mind got back on its work. Simultaneously, it started gathering a load of the past and future dreams. However, I was clueless and baseless. I was thinking about my earning how should I increase it and help my family. That was a base of my worry. A flow of thoughts continued t

  10 th Day Diary Date:26.01.2022                  Day: Wednesday   I didn’t write last day's diary as I was delaying it. But today I didn’t repeat it and expressed my feeling. The day started with early preparation for republic ay at the school. I reached my school at 7.15 and helped others with arranging the programme schedule. Then I got back home and had again a cup of tea. I went out with my friend and roamed in the city without any specific reason. Around 12 o clock, I returned home and had simple food for lunch. I was about to go take a short snap but one of my friends visited my home. So I skipped it and paid attention to him. He said that my friend had one lot of progress who was once my close friend. Then he was doing well for his family and career. Approximately he earned one lakh in a month. At that time, I was feeling jealous and started regretting my progress. But I was unable to share it with others. Later on, I accepted that he had achieved because of his h

  9th Day Diary Date:- 24.01.2022                        Day:- Monday The day was as cool as possible. It was cooler than the previous day. I began my schedule with writing and academic planning. At school, I faced a problem of slang language used by one of the students of the class during the National pledge. At that time, the principal and other teachers turned up and tried to settle down the matter. We convinced the class about good habits and their impact on the future. I became furious and lost my temper. Later on, I forgot it and paid attention to the next plan. Then I started my session with a speaking test and noted down their progress. I continued to do it until the last period. On the day, we had republic day practice and guided the students. I had tuition after school and jotted down some ideas. The evening brought some cheers into my life. One of my students studied under my guidance 15 years back. I got in contact through social media and called him. Then he shared

  8th Day Diary Date:-23.01.2022                     Day: - Sunday It was a cool morning when I got up very late. Still, I was feeling to be sleepy. But my mother urged me to wake up and had a bath. Somehow I came out of bed and looked at the clock. It was already 9, and I remembered that my students would come at 9.30. Immediately, I rushed to the bathroom and took a bath.   Within half an hour, I was ready to attend to my tuition students after having a cup of tea. Similarly, I took my laptop and started working on it. Before that, I decided to attend my student’s marriage function, but I couldn’t do it. As my Tamil class started and teacher insisted me on attention. So I learnt some new words,   “Annan, Katchi, Magan, Unggal, Patti, Mama, magat, and several other words” That made me happy and excited over new language learning. At noon, I went to sleep after my lunch feeling happy and got up at 4.30. Then I made myself fresh and took a cup of tea. Some of my work was p

  7th Day Diary Date:-22.01.2022                              Day:- Saturday Saturday was like a relaxed day, and nothing was much work for me. I spent most of the time sleeping at noon after meeting my friend. He informed me that we had to sit together and study at his office for self-improvement. In the evening, I planned out a reading session for my tuition students and handed it to them for reading. But they a bit faced the problem of comprehension. Yet they completed and solved it. Then, I remembered that I had to visit my student’s pre-marriage programme. So I informed others about it and asked them to accompany me. In that way, we all took a visit to the function and also danced with the bridegroom. It was a happy meeting with him. Even he felt happy on our attending his function. I felt somewhat relaxed and comfortable day and enjoyed it well. But I still carried some incidents of my past related to marital life. I was not able to remove it and sometimes indulged in

                                           6th Day Diary Date:-21.01.2022                    Day: - Friday The day started with some planning for the students and teacher’s training college. On that day, I was supposed to conduct the session on communication skills for Primary teachers at the teacher’s training college. So, I was preparing for it with some activity searching on google. At noon, I was at my school and again focused on speaking tests for my grown-up children. I insisted they do well, and even they tried doing it properly. At 3 o clock, I started my session as per my planning, but I changed it suddenly on seeing their body language. I felt that something was missing in their routine. So I brought interpersonal communication skill activity and formed a group of two. Then I started asking them about them and their friends. In the end, they realised that they had to enhance their interpersonal skills with one another. In the evening, I had my regular class at home and gave s

5th Day Diary Date:-20.01.2022                    Day:- Thursday Started the day very early and writing education I had regular online classes for my engineering students and orientation programmes for the Selam college students on idea factory. By that time, I got a comment on social media for my post related to my diary. I was asked what the purpose of posting a diary was. I humbly replied and continued to do my work. As soon as I reached school, I ran after the students for their preparation for the speaking test and even scolded them. Somehow I endeavoured to do well and observed the result too. Some of them delayed and excused me that they would need to have some time for practising. By noon, I again received a comment on my diary post, and it was directly stated not to post such a personal diary. Further, it was supported by others. But I politely explained to him why I had posted it and took his words seriously. Such conversation on post went up to the evening. And again s

But I was as usual and routine. At 12.30 I reached school after taking my lunch box. That day I prepared to conduct a speaking test and even urged my students for better performance. Further, I became very strict about the activity so that they could take it seriously. At first, some of the students pleaded with me to call others for the task. But I set time table according to their roll number. Some of them started well and proved their calibre. Meanwhile, I shot their activities and uploaded them on my YouTube channel. At lunchtime, I shared my lunch box with my colleague and had a fun time together. Then I also continued it and finished half of the task. At 5.15, I returned home, and suddenly I saw a message from my Tamil teacher who was ready to teach me the Tamil language.

                                                                    3rd Day Diary Date:-18.01.2022                               Day: - Tuesday Spending morning time at Ume school and doing some educational work, I went after a long time and met some of my friends. That was a nice meeting and gossiping. Further, I listened to my friend and paid attention to his agony about the future. I didn’t react or suggest him. But I sensed his thoughts and mind. Then I reached school at 12.30 with some photocopies of the listening test. I arranged a speaker and kept it in the class. While conducting it, my students were facing a problem of getting it. But I was somewhat happy that they started listening to some English speakers. Before that, I faced the problem of conducting it as they thought it was not a part of their curriculum. But I explained it nicely before the school principal and them.   In the ten minutes of the last period, I was sent to one of the classes. I didn't have to

                                      2nd Day Diary Date: 17.01.2022                               Day: Monday   As I had morning free time because of college holiday and nothing to do, I went to the library and had newspapers reading.

By 12.30, I reached my school, all of the school staff looked at my shaving head and inquired me about it. I shared my uncle’s death news with them. As my family tradition, I had to do it. At school, I shared the ASL Exam pattern with the students. Further, I explained in detail to them. In the last period, I was not teaching 12 commerce. At that moment, on seeing me, the principal tried to convince me about the students’ career and time as important as possible.

                                     1 st Day Diary Date: 16.01.2022                               Day: Sunday Sunday was remembered for my uncle’s ritual programme, who passed away last week. His death taught me a lot about life and its values. Getting up early and have a cup of tea before going to kharawasa Surat. Over there, I shaved my head as a family tradition, but I was happy to shave it. Today I was feeling alone as I kept comparing myself with others. That made me alone and isolated from others and the crowd. I somewhat blamed and regretted my life and career. At my uncle’s house, I tried to keep myself busy with others. However, I got a realization of my feeling that was telling me that I had to need working on it. It meant that I should expose or share it. Otherwise, it would spoil me and my mood. After coming home, I had some rest and went outside with my friend. Further, I shared my new mission with him. He also became happy for my 21 days mission. At that time,

  On Tuesday, I had a problem-solving task in the class at T. N. PATEL PTC College. So, I began discussing with the students what problems they had. Many of them shared nothing with me. That's why I decided to share a story with them named Crack Mind from Japanese Literature. Then   I interacted with them and paved them to some of the examples.   Further, I distributed a list of the problems to them and asked them to prepare a list of solutions. At first, they were indeed into the thought process. Slowly and gradually, they came to share their problem and solutions. On observing and seeing them, I concluded that they got realization the importance of thinking based method for not only them but also their children. In the end, they ended with positive affirmation and had their recess. I thought hopeful that they would have enjoyed the session. By Haridas Patil (Blogger, Educator and Trainer)
