Today one of my favourite kids who always used to get average marks in school, came & showed me very high marks in her recently completed class 8th terminal exams. I used to be so happy when I used to see her average marks. It made me feel more sure that she was enjoying her childhood and growing up right.

I have forever tried to tell kids growing up around me to study only if they enjoy... else just do what they want (of course I have tried to encourage them to read literature and luckily barring one all are big time into reading)... And I just can't believe that in classes like 6th, 7th, 8th etc there could be many kids who enjoy studies... Firstly that's the age to play more.. secondly given the below average quality of teachers in most schools how can kids enjoy studies.. and finally with the kind of approach to studies in most schools kids just can't enjoy studies.

So I want to hear from children around me about their friends.. their sports..their first crush etc..if any kid has ever hit/bullied them.. and most importantly I make it a point to ask them if there is any teacher in school who is rude to them and how to answer back fearlessly if anyone is.

But then invariably one day they suddenly come up to me with great results!

I am obviously happy. And yet I am uncomfortable with it. But I praise them. But am apprehensive to. I hate to let them know that I'm happy to know that they scored high marks. Higher than some of their friends. And yet I hug them.

It's a shame on all schools that have exams before class 9th, at the least. And it's a shame that kids are given marks and are judged on the basis of these marks and are made to feel better or worse about themselves on the basis of the marks they get.

Needless to say, I remind them that they were as beatiful when they got lesser marks and will remain as beatiful in future even if they dont get good marks again. And that they must still keep doing what they love to do- painting, singing,dancing,playing with Lego,watching movies,playing games.

For I fear that the fear of being judged shouldn't be the reason they try to get higher marks. If they get it still,I accept and enjoy with a smile.

Don’t see “Slumdog Millionaire”. It sucks!

A phony poseur that has been made only to mock India for the viewing pleasure of the First World!! The emperor’s new clothes! That’s “Slumdog Millionaire” for you… Five minutes into this celebrated patchwork of illogical clichés and you are struck by the jarring dialogues. The cumbersome delivery in a language which doesn’t come naturally to most of the actors sounds like someone scratching on walls with one’s finger nails; it ruins the possibility of a connection… Had this film been made by an Indian director, it would’ve been trashed as a rotting old hat, which literally stands out only because of its stench, but since the man making it happens to be from the West, we’re all left celebrating the emperor’s new clothes. The film borrows an undoubtedly interesting narrative style – from films like “City of God” – but then uses it to weave in a collection of clichés from the Third World’s underbelly for the viewing pleasure of a First World audience. The real slumdog in the movie is not ...

  86% Indians fear losing their jobs due to the Pandemic as per a recent online survey. The fear has completely stopped economic activities and spending. We must remove the fear and start the economy. For that we need to guarantee everyone that jobs or no job, they will be economically secure through a minimum unemployment allowance (double of which should be the minimum wages). It requires a simple four step process: 1. Create an online database of job seekers based on their Adhaar Card number. 2. Make it totally illegal to employ anyone for any kind of job without registering his/her Aadhaar Card number. 3. The moment Adhaar Card number is fed in the list of employed, it gets automatically removed from the job seekers register and they stop getting unemployment allowance. 4. Everyone getting unemployment allowance will have to necessarily do 4 hours of social and community service as directed by the registry. Employers will also know who is seeking jobs where and their qualificat...
