    In the fifth session, I shared my planning with the trainee teachers. Later on, I played a song for them to make listening to it. As soon as it finished, I narrated a story titled Old Woman and her power. After that, I kept interacting with them to motivate them for speaking English. Then I brought a task of Indian profession before them.   I made them involved slowly and prepared to speak on any Indian profession. It might be a tailor, teacher, doctor and anything. They tried to practice well and got confident. It lasted for an hour. After that, I introduced a mind game to them. Accordingly, they told each one’s name to the next one, same continued it. They liked it and enjoyed it very much. In the end, I got feedback and selected five trainee teachers on their best performance. They were awarded my book and ended the session with a small prayer.  

  A great lesson   Yesterday I was thinking of New Year 2022 and my aim. But I was unable to succeed in figuring out what it should be. While coming home, I saw an open place full of garbage and dirty mud on the way. It was not possible to stand there. But seeing small plants of mango and neem, I felt happy. The way they were bending down because of the cool breeze. I felt pleased by looking at them as if they were smiling at me with dancing and moving both sides of the ground. Though they were in dirt and garbage, still they looked happy and stable. I got the realization that they messaged in the following lines Enjoy life and work every moment Be ready to face any difficulties   Be happy despite problems Offer others what they want from me Be self and flexible with the flow of life                                                   ...

The Friday session started with a greeting to the trainees and shared the flow of the entire session. At the first, the prayer followed after that and moved ahead with the small story. The interaction was kept and had a good discussion.  Then I introduced the demo or situational English. I demonstrated some situational English before them. Be and by they came on the stage and practised it. They got lots of practice and confidence. Some of them did it naturally and spontaneously.  They had the task of writing about what they expected from the teacher as soon as they finished it. They did and kept it on the table after collecting the chits. Then they were asked to identify who had written. So as they tried to guess it and learnt to observe. It was a nice activity for them. After that, they supplied the feedback and shared feeling with me. At the last, they had positive affirmations before leaving the class.

  Dark and light in life! Once upon a time, a young man was travelling to his village. It happened with him to come into a dark part of the forest, heard a roaring sound of lions and other animals. So he became afraid and started shivering negatively. He didn’t understand what to do. He remembered that his elders used to say him to utter the name of God in a time of difficulty. Therefore, he began pronouncing the name of Lord Rama and kept doing it until the dark area had vanished.                                  He felt fearless when he came into the area where the light was easily visible. Consequently, his fear was also out of sight and relaxed. He started singing his favourite song from the famous movie joyfully due to it. Thus, he was in total happiness and positively walked towards his destination. Similarly, da...
