In my childhood.........................!

 In my childhood………………….!

                  In childhood, I used to like to wear ironing clothes. But my grandparents didn’t have the equipment to iron. So I just kept imagining and asking the laundry Wala of the charge of one pair of the dress. At that time, I felt it was very costly and wasn’t be affordable. So I learnt to forget it.

                    One day I had an idea of ironing at home. Then I shared it with my grandma. She at once showed readiness. That idea was to take some fire charcoal into a steel water pot. Then it was becoming hot. I happily kept pressing over my shirt and half pant with full force as the way the laundry Wala used to do. After some time, it had been ready as perfect as ironing clothes. It was a joy for me and my grandma too.

                       It had been going on for many days. Later on, one of my maternal uncles bought it. That new one replaced with the steel water tumbler. It added limitless joy to my life.

                          Slowly and gradually, I tried to show my ironing clothes to my school friends. They were not only impressed but also asking me about it and its company as well as price.

                  I remember that incident of my childhood forever.  Maybe you have any story of your childhood which still gives you a bundle of joy. I think,

"Life is about to joy each moment of it and find full of such stories in the journey. So let us keep ourselves joyful instead of sorrowful."

Happy Remembering!

Happy Living!

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 learnin...
