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.

  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...

D ear Arvind Kejriwal, As my relatives, acquaintances and students die avoidable deaths; I am completely mad on the current regime at the centre. But for every death - in reality a MURDER - in Delhi, you have equal blood on your hands. You were sitting and spending 150cr advertising yourself just between Jan to March this year while the cases increased. You did nothing for the last one year when Delhi needed at least 20,000 extra ICU beds if not more. And each bed obviously means extra oxygen facility. You have no shame to say that PM CARES fund didn’t come. Didn’t you have calculations? You are from IIT. Didn’t you know that making a few oxygen plants cost nothing compared to your state budget and so called landmark health budget? And you are FOOLING EVEN TODAY by saying lies like tomorrow even if there are 30k cases per day Delhi is now going to be equipped. You are a congenital liar. In case your IIT brain can’t calculate properly, let me help you. For every reported case in Delhi, ...

No PM after being elected should ever again be allowed to abdicate his responsibilities and go missing during every crisis. To strengthen democracy in INDIA, the entire MEDIA should come together and demand a LAW which makes it mandatory forever for any PM of INDIA to interact with the media once every fortnight at least for 60 min, & take a minimum of 15 questions from different journalists - 5 each from leading print media, electronic media & online media - with top 20 media houses from each field getting minimum of one chance by rotation to ask questions every two months. This will permanently end the godi media fraud. We can never ever again let a leader of India be unanswerable to it’s people - who are represented by the media - or develop a cosy relationship with a few media houses and keep the people of the INDIA in dark.
