But he never cares of the words. He uses in daily routine and expects good rapport, well-being, tranquility, and much more. In spite of bringing it to his notice, he tries to ignore and shows that he was right. Still he continues with those words which he uses and hopes a lot. However he doesn’t know psychologically he will receive what he uses for others. Most of the people keep asking themselves; -         Is it his habit or pretension?            ...

                     Is it a vacation for Diwali or assignments? This running week I was asked what Diwali project would be for them by 7 th class. They wanted to know it from me and said they had it from every teacher. Generally it almost happens at everywhere, but assigning doesn’t guarantee for any creative work or proper utilization of the vacation. Everybody has a different point of view over this topic. But I was a little bit worried by giving it. In 20 days, what they will do? They will do either it or spoil the Diwali vacation. Even there is no limit for this assignment. At that moment I asked them what project they needed in English subject. They at once replied that they would do it whatever I would give. But they didn’t look happy or excited while taking down it. Further I took a diary of one of the students and went through it. On seeing, it was filled with Diwali assignments. As the teacher I got sho...

At 12.30 I started returning home. While driving a bike, I realized that the mobile was ringing. I took out from the pocket and saw unknown number. At first my mind dived into guessing whose number or who the person would be. But I attended it at last. I heard some unknown voice greeting me. I also did it and asked for his introduction. He introduced me that he knew my father. Because my father was brought up by the caller’s father. Even my father was at village while that man was talking with me. So he had something to say and shared with me the story of my father. I kept quiet while listening to him. He said that my father was very naughty during his childhood and didn’t like to go school.

                                   My students became enlightened!                          Sometimes the students play the role of a teacher and the parent. And that role is played by neither the teacher nor the parents naturally. But the students play it and bring the positivity into learning, relation, thinking, and career. Somewhat that took place at my class.                                I was just taking a round of my class as other classes had the half-yearly exam. My class had a study day. At that moment, one of the science teachers came and informed the students that she was going to show chemistry papers. So I went out of the class and started passing my time.

These 5 paths of Gandhiji make you Gandhi in daily routine! Anybody can follow the path of Mahatma Gandhi and become like him. Through these 5 paths he can bring a change not in him but also others. These can be followed in the daily routine without any bias. These were followed by Gandhi in his entire life. 1)     Truth : It was not only word but also action for Gandhi. Once he said that the truth is the god. In his childhood, he was having a spelling test. At a time he didn’t know the spelling of one word. His teacher saw and gave him a hint that he would copy from others. But he refused to do it. At that young age, he proved his truthfulness nature. As result he failed to score full marks in it.
