Mind as a foe.

 Mind as a foe.

             In day-to-day life, we always follow our minds sincerely and obediently. It is like a master and a servant. It often serves as lots of raw materials for our thinking and talking with others or self. That’s why, we are bound to it and never step out of it to see what exactly the world is. It creates boundaries around us such as limitation, suspicion, diffidence and adherence. Therefore, we never go beyond the routine. As a result, we assume life as fate and life's purpose. And we keep the Laxman Rekha for us and our lives. We are too doubtful to take risks in life. Further, we keep talking to ourselves and create unnecessary incidents. 

On the other hand, the mind often stops us from doing something new by asking several questions or referring to the past or others’ examples. Then we take time and sit over there while thinking about it. That’s why, it is said that the mind is a meaning-making machine. It supplies lots of meaning to us.

Our saints always say that we should not listen to it but avoid it by taking risks in life. At least we shall have a rich experience. In other words, experience is the best teacher for us.

So let’s start life with no attention to mind.

    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 learnin...
