Education SystemThe present system of higher education does

not serve the purpose for which it has been

started. In general education itself has be-come

so profitable a business that quality is lost in the

increase of quantity of professional institutionswith quota system and politicization adding fuel

to the fire of spoil system, thereby increasing

unemployment of graduates without quick relief

to mitigate their sufferings in the job market of

the country. So, the drawbacks of the higher

education system underscore the need for

reforms to make it worthwhile and beneficial to

all concerned.

Competition:

Next to China, India is the most populated

country in the world. Naturally there is too much

rush and competition in every field. So, rush to

technical and higher education has increased as

scope for arts and science has become lesser

and lesser due to lack of reforms and up

gradation in the course structure and materials

according to the developments of the world.

Purpose of Education:

All round development of personality is the

purpose of education. But the present day

education is neither imparting the trueknowledge of life, world and helping one stand

on ones own leg nor is improving the talent of a

student by which one can achieve laurels in the

field one interested. So, combination of arts

subjects and computer science and science and

humanities or literature should be introduced so

that such courses could be useful for the

students to do jobs after recruitment in some

companies which would reduce unnecessary

rush to higher education.

Right Course of Action:

In India around 240 Universities controlling

somewhere 5000 colleges of various courses

churning out millions of graduates seeking jobs

in vain due to lack of employability,

communication skill and entrepreneurship

quality. In Tamil Nadu State of India alone (from

2000 to 2006) more than 600, 000 students are

hunting for jobs without hope due to political

rivalries and lack of investments in job

generating manufacturing units and companies.

This is one side of the picture.

On the other side, all want to be-come Engineers

or Doctors or Computer specialists in IT or

Software, which is beyond the reach of many

and also, all, cannot shine in such a line if not

suited later on. So, to overcome

disappointments in the working life clear

appraisal of ones Self is necessary before

pursuing a course of action.

For that not specialization but general education

covering all subjects (arts, science, literature,

technology, and agriculture and defense studies)

is very essential.

After education, tour to all the places in India

and world as far as possible with the

cooperation of government is necessary so that

one can understand about people, culture, arts,

literature, religions, technological developments

and progress of human society in the world.

Basing this knowledge one should have a vision

of ones future life and work in the world and

decide about the future course of action, i.e.

whether to go for higher education or do job

suitable to one.

Finally, based on knowledge only vision of the

future life and work can be had; based on this

vision only a broad ambition can be fixed for

oneself; and based on this ambition only one

can lead interesting life doing satisfying job to

do remarkable achievements in some field in the

world.

Individuality

Otherwise, the life of one will not be interesting

but rather boring, monotonous and frustrating.

This is mainly due to parental interference in theeducation of the children. Parental guidance is

ne-cessary but it should not interfere in the

creativity or individuality of the students. Also, in

spite of the obsolete type of education system,

some are achieving wonderful things in Sports,

Music, Dance, Painting, Science and Technology

in the world! This is only due to the


14/61


encouragement of the parents and some

dedicated teachers in the educational

institutions.

Higher Education:

Higher education is necessary for one to achieve

excellence in the line one is best. But one should

be selected for higher education on the basis of

merit only. Further, fees for education in general

should not be high; especially, the fees for

higher studies should be within the reach of

every class of people in the nation.

Standard:

In any nation education is the basic necessity for

the socio-economic development of the

individuals and the society. In reality only 20% of

the population is educated in India. Also, only25% of the Universities are having world class

education. So, improved standard of education

as first priority should be offered to the majority

by the govt. authorities with sincere political will.

Also, privatization of higher education is

absolutely necessary in a vast country like India

as government alone is helpless to do so.

Quality:

That is the way peoples quality of life can be

improved and also, the nation can economically

compete with the developed nations of the

world. So, private educational in-situations can

give higher education to all irrespective of

economic status of the students. As far as quality

of education is concerned it should be under the

control of a central institute such as All India

Council for Technical Education (AICTE) and the

respective Universities concerned.

World Class Education:

Indian government is not giving priority to the

development of Standard in education. Indiashould aspire for the international standard in

education. To achieve that goal it should adopt

uniform international syllabus in its educational

institutions.

Many national universities like in the USA, UK,

Australia, etc. allow studies in higher education

for foreign students in their countries and

through correspondence courses as well. In the

same way India Universities of world class

education can also offer courses of studies to

foreign students taking advantage of the

globalization process.

Personality Development:

Finally, education should be for the flowering of

personality but not for the suppression of

creativity or natural skill. In the globalized world

opportunities for the educated people are

naturally ample in scope. As a result business

process outsourcing (BPO) activities have

increased competition in the world trade leading

towards the production of quality goods and

their easy availability everywhere in the world

market. That is the way the world can bedeveloped for peace, prosperity and progress by

able and skilful men.

Education (A Treasure)Learning is not bounded by any time, age.

Education is one thing that is above of all

barriers, it helps in clearing up all barriers. It canbe started at any point of time, age and at any

phase of life. Education is limitless, the more you

earn the more you are able to develop yourself.

Never think that you are too old for this, you can

learn and educate yourself at any time.

Education improves personality of a person. It

gives confidence and makes a person capable of

moving and communicating in todays society.

These days there is so much to learn that one is

always yearning for knowledge. So many

professional courses are there that adds to the

educational qualification. Many retired people,

older people or even professionals are indulged

in some or the other professional course. They

are not only acquiring knowledge but also

scoring well at the same time.

Education should not be limited, it is one thing

that can be started at any point of time. By

acquiring knowledge from various fields a


15/61


person can apply his skills to any field. He or she

can try out other professional jobs also by

having knowledge from various fields. Education

is good for a persons future life also. In todays

competitive scenario if a person is educated he

can teach his children well and make them

capable of coping with the competition.

Education can be a good source of income also,

as one can teach children by taking tuitions and

one can be a professional teacher in any school

or college. Education is such a treasure that

remains with a person throughout his life. Its

such a treasure that keeps on increasing the

more one distributes it. Education is such a thing

that rewards a person in one way or another. It

should always be spread and should not be kept

hidden within. A person can think of studying at

any point of time, at whatever time he will starthell get benefited with the divine light of

education.

TIME FOR CHANGE:Towards the end of last year, I asked a man who

works closely with business schools how he

would characterize their attitude over the past

year. He responded instantly: as a bunch of

ostriches with their heads in the sand. He then

paused for a moment, and then added: With a

herd of buffalo heading towards them.

Cynical he may be, but he does have a point.

After a year of economic turmoil and academic

trauma, most business schools seem to have

become paralysed.

There have been some changes to the

curriculum to reflect growing concerns about

unethical behavior, and to beef up technical

courses in subjects such as risk management andfinancial derivatives.

On top of that, some individual professors and

deans have proposed that business education

needs to more rigorously codified or

professionalized, to bring it into line with sectors

such as medicine and law Rakesh Khurana at

Harvard and Frank Brown at Instead have been

at the forefront of this movement. Spearheaded

by one Harvard graduate, thousands of MBA

students around the world have signed an oathto proclaim that they will behave ethically, a

move that has been greeted with enthusiasm by

some and hoots of derision by others.

But deep down, what has really changed? As

investment bankers begin hiring again this

summer, will we see MBA graduates eschewing

these jobs, or will they take the bankers shilling

just like their predecessors?

For although business school professors like to

spend years tinkering with the curriculum, most

seem unable to contemplate the idea of

changing the structure of their programmers,

especially in the US, where the two-year MBA

dominates the market.

This two-year programmed brings with it one

inherent problem: debt. Not only are there

tuition fees to pay but MBA students have to live

for two years without income. According to

Harvard Business School, which has one of the

worlds most generous scholarship schemes for

its students, those who graduated with a

Harvard MBA in 2009 were in debt to the tune,on average, of almost $77,000. Graduates from

top schools with fewer resources faced even

greater debts.

This then begs the question: who would want to

do this? One answer is that thousands of

managers around the world vie for these

coveted qualifications every year. But the

statistics show that they are a self-selecting

group.

To begin with, they are men. A cursory glance

over the statistics for the top business schools

shows that 60 per cent or more of the admitted

class are male. At London Business School, the

top two-year programmed, the figure is a

whopping 73 per cent.

Second, they are people who are prepared to

take the risk of investing two years out of their

lives without the guarantee of a high-paying job

at the end of it, as this years graduates found

out.

And even for those who are not high risk-taking

males, whatever their good intentions, debt are

a highly persuasive ingredient in the decision-

making process when looking for a job. It is a

brave person who turns down a lucrative

banking job to work for a not-for-profit

organization if they owe almost $90,000.

Those who run one-year MBA programmers may

be feeling smug at this point. Yes, they are much

better value for money, but they present many

of the same problems and graduate very similar

people. Looking at the typical profile of an MBA

student, it is easy to see why this privileged

group has gained the image of being arrogant

and aggressive alpha males. And bearing all

these factors in mind, it is easy to see why MBA

students have been blamed for the current

economic crisis.

None of which is particularly helpful if the role of

business schools is to help create and run more

successful businesses. In order to achieve this,there are several questions that business schools

must answer.

First, how can they attract a wide range of

students from different backgrounds on to their

programmes? Second, how can they help

promote gender diversity in the boardroom?

And third, how can they teach managers what

they need to know at the point when they need

to know it?

Dialogue on the problems of

youth by Daisaku Ikeda.

TALENT

Q: I feel ordinary, like I have no special abilities

or talent?

A:That just isnt true. The problem lies in people

limiting themselves. Everyone has some kind of

gift .Being talented doesnt just mean being a

good musician, writer or athlete--- there are

many kinds of talent. For instance, you may be a

great conversationalist or make friends easily or

put other at ease. Or you may have a gift for

nursing, a knack for telling jokes, selling thingsor economizing. You may be always punctual,

patient, reliable, kind or optimistic. You may love

new challenges or be strongly com-mitted to

peace or to bringing joy to others.

Each of us is as unique as a cherry blossom,

plum blossom, peach blossom, or damson

blossom. Each blossom is distinctly wondrous,

accordingly, each blossom in the way that only it

can.

Without a doubt each person has an innate

talent. The question is: How do you discover that

talent? The only way is to exert you to the limit

in

Whatever is before you? Your true potential will

emerge when you give everything youve got to

your studies, sports, extracurricular activities or

whatever you are engaged in.

UNDERSTANDING EQUALITY

Q: The world is filled with hatred. What can

person do?

A: Unless we build a society that regards human

beings not as means to a goal but as the goal

itself, we will remain forever deadlocked in

inequality, UN happiness and violence where the

strong prey upon the weak. We will simply

repeat the same patterns.

It is vital that we teach the citizens of allnations to see them-selves and others first and

fore-most as human beings.

We have to raise peoples awareness of human

rights through education. Our schools must

teach human rights, our religions must teach

human rights and our governments must respect

human rights.

A childs heart does not discriminate. If they

arent taught discrimination by others, childrenof all races play happily together. And children

are not the least bit interested in how well-off

the families of their playmates are or what kinds

of work their parents do. They assume that all

human beings are equal.

South Africa maintained an unparalleled state of

harsh discrimination against the majority of its

citizens. Under apartheid, it was a crime for black

South Africa to ride a Whites Only bus, to use

a Whites Only drinking fountain, to walk on a

Whites Only beach, to be on the streets past

11:00 pm., to travel, to be un employed and to

live in certain places. In short black South

Africans were not treated as human being.

CHANGING CARRIERS:


21/61


Q: What if you start following one dream but

have a change of heart and want to pursue a

different path?

A:Thats perfectly all right. Few people end up

doing what they planned or dreamed of doing in

the beginning. In my case, I wanted to be a

newspaper reporter, but my poor health,

prevented me from pursuing that profession.

Today, however, I have become a writer.

At one point, I worked for a small publishing

company. Because of its small staff, I had to

work very hard but, because of that, I gained a

great deal of practical experience.

After the war, I worked for another small

operation, but what I went through on that jobgave me a chance to really look at myself.

Everything I learned back then is of value to my

life now. The important thing is to develop

yourself in your present situation and to take

control of your growth.

Once you have decided on a job, I hope you will

not be the kind of person who quits at the drop

of hat or is always insecure and com-plaining.

Nevertheless, if after youve given it your all, you

decided that your job isnt right for you and youmove on, thats all right, too.

Taking your place as a member of a society is a

challenge; it is a struggle to survive. But

wherever you are is exactly where you need to

be, so strive there to the best of your ability.

A tree doesnt grow strong and tall within one or

two days. In the same way, successful people

didnt become successful in only a few years.

This applies to everything.

GAINING FOCUS

Q: Im not sure what I want to do with my life.

How do I get more focused?

A: Although it is natural to be un-sure about

your future, its crucial that you try to accomplish

something anything. The thought of that

might seem overwhelming. But has the ancient

saying goes, the journey of a thousand miles

begins with a single step. Discovering our goals

and dreams begins with the first step of deciding

to find them. From there, we proceed step by

step in steady increments through daily efforts.

The track star Emil Zatopek of Czechoslovakia,

who won the 1952 Olympic mens marathon,

found his training so excruciating at times that

he would tell himself, Ill just try to make it to

the next telephone pole. Then, when he

reached it, he would say to himself again, OK,

Ill just go as far as the next one, and push

himself a little further. These persistent efforts to

keep challenging himself ultimately led to his

victory.

So do something! Start some-thing! As you

make consistent ef-forts, you will begin to see

your goals come into focus. You will discover

your mission the one only you can fulfill.

For, example it is important to develop skills in

areas you enjoy. The key is to have something in

which you can take pride, some-thing you are

willing to challenge. It might be excelling in

math, foreign language, sports, and extracurricular activity, making friend or doing

volunteer work. The people around you may

know you better in someway that you do

yourself, so if you summon up the courage to

ask them for advice, you might find the doors to

new possibilities opening unexpectedly.

A solid foundation is essential in all things. No

building can stand without a foundation. The

same is true in life. And the time to construct

that foundation is now, during your youth. As

the French writer Romain Rolland noted, apyramid cannot be build from the top down.

FACING UP TO PROBLEM

Q: When I face problem, running away

sometimes seems like the ea-siest solution.


22/61


A: You can run away, of course. That freedom

exists. But it is a very small, petty freedom. It

only leads to a life of great hardship, a life in

which you will be powerless, weak and

completely frustrated.

Alongside this small freedom, how-ever, exists a

much greater free-dom. The Japanese novelist

Eiji Yoshikawa writer, Great character is forged

through hardship.Only by polishing yourself

through repeated difficulties can you build a self

that sparkles as brightly as a gem. When you

have developed such a state of being, nothing

will faze you. You will be free. You will be

victorious. Hardship wills even be-come

enjoyable. Daring to take on tough challenges-

that in it is immense freedom. Freedom is

relative. You may run away from hard work andefforts, declaring your-self a free spirit, but you

cannot run away from yourself --- from your

own weaknesses, personality and destiny. It is

like trying to run from your own shadow. It is

even more impossible to escape from the

suffering of aging, sickness and death inherent

in the human condition. The more you try to

avoid hardship, the more doggedly they pursue

you, like so many relentless hounds chasing at

your heels. Thats why its important that you

turn and face your troubles head-on. It is

impossible to have absolutely everything go

your way all the time. In fact, if it werent for the

various obstacles life presents us with, we

probably wouldnt appreciate what is to be free.

The spring of our youth is meant to be lived with

our faces turned towards the sun. As a season of

growth, youth is a time of job great joy and

great suffering. It is filled with problems and

worries of all kind. But rather than run away from

them, the key is to keep seek-ing the sun, to

keep moving in the direction of the sunlight, tochallenges the pain and agony that are part of

growing up.

Never give in to defeat. For a seed to sprout, it

must exert tre-mendous effort to break of its

hard outer covering. That sprout must then

valiantly push its way up through a thick layer of

soil to reach the blue sky above. The hardships

you experience now will all contribute to your

growth. Therefore, the important thing is to keep

pressing forward no matter how tough or painful

the going may get.

Youth is the time to develop a spirit of

persistence. And those who keep striving for

improvement remain youthful no matter what

their age. Conversely, those who fail to do so,

even if they are young in year, will be old and

weak in spirit.

Life is a battle to win ultimate and unlimited

freedom.

HANDLING REJECTION

Q: Sometimes when I try to make new friends,its like Im not cool enough for them, and Im

left on the outside looking in.

A: Although it may seem difficult, if you are

ignored, rejected or made fun of, try not to be

overly worried about it. According to Buddhist

beliefs, those who treat others poorly make bad

causes for which they unfortunately will

experience the effects; they are truly to be pitied.

At the same time, remember that experiencingrejection and disappointment is an inevitable

part of life. I, too, have been betrayed by people

whom I trusted and sincerely tried to encourage.

But that is something I have learned is inevitable

at times.

In the face of rejection, you must learn to be

courageous. It is important to believe in yourself.

Be like the sun, which shines on serenely even

though not all the heavenly bodies reflect back

its light and even though some of its brilliance

seems to radiate only into empty space. While

those who reject your friendship may sometimes

fade out of your life, the more you shine your

light, the more brilliant your life will become.

No matter what other people do, it is important

that you walk your own path, believing in

yourself. If you stay true to yourself, others will

The Fire Inside

When all is lost and hope has fled,

When fear is strong and strength is dead,

When love and joy abandon you,

When mental anguish grows in you.

When the last of efforts fail to save,

When your fate is ill, your mind enslaved.

And when your head hangs low in misery,

This is when you will find the key.

Single amber from deep within,

Burns hotter and hotter, as flames begin.

The fire of truth will light the way,

And help you fight, this lonely day.

The battle is long, the struggle is rough,

Never regret not giving enough.

For when we offer our very best,

Our very soul is put to the test.

Stand tall & true and you will pre-vail,

Just hold on tight and never pre-vail.

You will survive if you dont quit,

Victory is there, if you reach for it.

One day in the future you will look to the past,

And you you had what it takes to last.

So never give up and good things will come,

Not just honor and pride, but s job well done.

The Thing with LOVE is....

It always maintains a safe distance from you. Always in the air. You wont value it until its gone If its really love it wont come back on its

own you got to make it happen.

Its mostly one-sided. Never comes to you when you in search of it

but always finds a way to your heart

Strikes you when you least expect it. Always a dilemma to know if its really

LOVES.

And if it really is then got more dilemmascoming your way.

Is the only thing dad's money cant buy. Is rarely unconditional nowadays? Makes u Delusional, Illogical and

Hallucinated.

Is the only thing a HUMAN HEART craves forthe most?

Has become a myth in this era. Is one the verge of EXTINCTION and needs

help from only the HEART possessing

human race.

As its said "The problem today is that things are

loved and people are used" - - read it

Making Happiness a Habit

Joy is not something thot happens accidentally

not dependent on outer conditions. It is rather a

habit or on emotion that you develop within

yourself and if you never take time to let it growbut rather put it off for some future day you

never reach the place of true happiness

Whatever you are doing be happy in it even

when u don't like the task, even when you would

be not bothered by an interruption, even when

you can think of many other situations or

conditions that would suit you much better than

the present one. The happiness of life is made

up of minute fractions; the little soon forgettablecharities of a kiss or a smile a kind look a

heartfelt compliment countless pleasurable and

genial feelings.

1,000 Distractions

They say a students life is most easy, but do

they know that how we have to dodge all those

tempting distractions,

Well whenever I am about to sit and open my

syllabus books, I am suddenly reminded of............

A chick flick which I always wanted to watch but

never managed to.

Suddenly the girl I never expected to call me,

calls up and we talk for hours.

Some other chick comes online.

The mag I always wanted to read but never

found time to.

My friends come up with an amazing plan to

meet up (Usually when someones parents have

gone out).

Need to call my friend and ask him how much

he has managed to mug up.

The ever distracting guest's show up and

demand attention and throw all the irritating

questions at you.

Or dad wants to learn computers (Worst than

studying.)

My phones reminder tells me that I have to

catch my favorite T.V show.

Or there's live or repeat telecast of an exciting

cricket match.

Or Sharapova or Sania is playing a single sided

tennis match.My "Ex" wants to go for a movie (And you can

never refuse to go for movies with your ex.)

Need to fetch Milk or something from the

grocery store.

I feel very sleepy like I haven't slept in ages

when I am just about to study.

The curiosity to check out what are the latest

torrents.

I have a sudden urge to do nothing and the

best part is you never finish doing nothing (This

is the law Einstein never mentioned).

After succumbing to all this I realize the day has

ended and I dint study even a single word, next

morning I promise myself that I will study but

the same story repeats and my amazing life

continues.

It's like the need to study and the tempting

things around you are directly proportional to

each other.

SAVE THE TIGER

Currently the countries of the world are on the

way of the development, development like

changing world into modern and more facilitateenvironment such as growing of construction

business. Before more years the earth is

bounded by greenery, but today that is one the

way to lost. Number of the forests is reduced on

the earth, so we are facing effect of global

warming that is the change of climate on the

world.

One look to the India, same situation is here.

India is also growing in the development. There

are number of the forests in the India can be

reduced, that affects the live life of animals,birds. Everyone of the world come together for

protect live life.

Yesterday when I was watching the television i

had seen one advertisement that is 'Save the

Tigers in India'. This message is for every Indians

of the earth for saving the tiger because today

number of tiger is decreased compared to last

year.

Tiger is the national animal of India. Tiger shows

strength and huge power of India. Tiger is the

pride of India. Tiger is the Indian pride so its

time for every Indian comes together for taking

steps for saving the tiger in India.

Today the world is developed with powerful

technology so you can use the many techniques

to save the tigers in India like sms, blogs, articles,

advertisement. This process becomes one of the

most effective steps to give sound to the Indians

for saving tiger life.

Every message becomes nearer step to save

tigers in India.

EXAMS

These exams are worse than traffic jam,

So much work and so much stress,So much tension,

No minute to rest,

Hundreds of question

And thousands of notes,

Thousands of students in the sea,

But not a single boat,

The question paper seems like a dead well,

And all are most likely to yell,

Oh God!!Please help us,

From this Nightmare,

Let us know that you are there.

Loyal Hearts:

Dont look for beauty,

Or whiteness of skin,

But look for a heart,

Thats loyal within,

For beauty will fade,

And skin will grow,

But a hearts thats loyal,Will forever shine like gold.

Experience freedom

This world could use a little help right now. The

world needs to learn to blend its people a little

better, and what you will inevitably get is

acceptance.

Intolerance towards certain stereotypes,

religions, and ethnic societies will not exist

anymore, because it has been blended already,

and the entire world becomes one. If we can find

common ground, that would be a good start.

The lesson that needs to be learned is to leave

talk of religion off the table entirely when the

focus is for peaceful relations. Lets face facts,

everyone thinks that their religion is the correct

one, how could we possibly use it as a means ofpeace or as a starting point? We, as a society,

need to learn tolerance, and be color blind to

other nations ways, and learn how not to be

easily offended. Also

learn how not to offend.

When nations speak to

each other, they should

have common

boundaries, ones of

acceptance and dignity from one to another.

Nations that have ambassadors & diplomats inother countries that do not have a full

understanding of the culture should leave. No

people should lose their identity, or the beliefs

they hold dear.

Ignorance is commonplace with cultures and

people. This is why we must ensure from this day

forward not to make strange advances towards

another cultural belief structure, and hold those

that do, accountable. Not the country itself.

This peaceful world is still a possibility, should

the others wish to join is free for the taking. You

will however have to leave your arrogance,

stubbornness, intolerance, indifference at the

door before jumping in; otherwise your point

will be lost.

One thing is for sure in an ever shrinking world,

we need to find a common ground where we

can all meet. Learning to be a singular minded

society is an excellent place to start. For today

some countries need to forgive, but not forget,

and move on, so the hatred doesnt poison your

land. Learn to accept the fact that mistakes can

happen, even with the smartest of races

Jago India Jago

Nowadays, globally there is a wide dialogue

about the economic growth in India and the

development India is making. It is largely

discussed that India along with China is growing

to be the next Super Powers of the world thanks

to the development in trade and industrialsectors especially in IT sector. It is also said that

India has reached the level of fourth techno-

economic power in the world. And as per report,

FBI has projected India to be the top world

techno-economic power by 2030.

We as Indians are really proud for the growth of

our country. At last the hard work and the

commitments to the work by the people are

paid back with good and prosperous results. We

see many Indians / Indian companies coming

into the list of Fortune 500 companies of the

world.But when looked to this issue closely and with

open eyes, do we feel that India is on the race

for the top place world techno-economic power?

Within these 58 years (the post independence

period), there has been vast deteriorating

concerns that has shown alarming situation in

the country. It is noticed that Indian villages are

speedily bereaved from their natural roots. The

Indian towns are quickly fading their

conventional appeal, elegance and prosperity of

life. The slums are fast increasing in cities, alongwith lots of dirt and garbage. Roads are jammed

with traffic. There is a serious energy crisis. Our

national resources show severe deterioration.

The water and the atmosphere are getting highly

polluted. Along with these, the precipitous

increase in crime rates and fall in public values


30/61


are added up to this ruthless situation year after

year.

Moreover, it is also noticed that still there are

places where supply of water, electric, other

basic needs, etc has not even reached to the

people. Proper education or proper awareness

for education is not provided to the people. It is

a shame to say that there are still people who

are illiterate. Moreover, unemployment problem

is on rise. Proper employment / self employment

programmes are not conducted.

This post independence period have shown that

India is deeply trapped in a debt trap by taking

huge loan from the World Bank, etc for the

development. The results obtained from the

perspiration (hard work) of the people are

squeezed and squashed in order to pay back the

huge loan taken. Where has the money gone,nobody cares to it. I say this because this money

was taken for the development of the country,

but there are many places where electricity,

water, education are never provided.

It is clearly seen that the only the urban areas

were developed and the rural areas were totally

as if ignored.

The rich become richer, the poor become

poorer. The corruption in India have rose to its

peak. It has now become an important part of

life. Now, the situation is such that without

corruption being involved, even the smallest part

of work cannot be progressed.

Moreover, people fight each other in the name

of religion (influenced by political people or

religious community people). What to say about

the religions, it has now slowly beginning a

practice in each state where the state people

start differentiating people of other states. The

mentality of people has changed. No unity

among the people. India as a country where all

the states and union territories are considered as

one whole country, but now India is slowlydifferentiated into different states. The people in

India now like to be called like Maharastrian,

Gujaratis, Keralites, Punjabis, Tamilians,

Rajasthanis, etc. and now they are not interested

in calling themselves as INDIANS. Where is the

unity in India which the Honourable leaders like

Gandhiji, Bhagat Singhji and others who had

sacrificed their lives to create this modern united

free India.

Even the study shows that if this chaotic

condition is not properly ordered, it would affect

the human behaviour adversely and the mental

stress deepens.

And the world says that India is developing. And

the so-caalled Indian politicians bring out that

the India is shining.

How could this be? I do not understand.

Do you understand???

The point is to bring the country as a whole

united front. Work for the betterment in unity.

The government have to seriously bring

awareness of education the people, bring out

better and productive employment / self

employment programmes. Water, electric

supplies and other facilities to the backwardareas are to be provided in abundance. The

programmes for cleaner India is to be made

important. Proper utilisation of funds for

different projects should be maintained.

Corruption virus should be fought for

eradication. The process of making rich richer

and poor poorer should be removed and

programmes for prosperous of every people

involved should be made into practice.

Exploitation and corruption should be unearthed

and removed. Unity should be restored among

people. Equal opportunities is to be given to the

people irrespective of whether the person is

related to any politician / industrialist / high

society OR any one from the common people.

If these become a custom and a system, then we

can really say INDIA IS SHINING or INDIAN IS

FAST GROWING TO BE ONE OF THE TOPMOST

TECHNO-ECONOMIC POWER IN THE WORLD.

But till then it is just one of the developing

country trying desperately but also weakly trying

to be near the developed countries.

Youth Rocks..!!

YOUTH HAVE some responsibility towards their

country. We need to learn from yesterday and

live with hope for better tomorrow. We can learn

from our past how the young warriors shed theirblood for the country.

Hesitating to act because the whole vision

might not be achieved,

Or because others do not yet share it, is an

attitude that hinders progress.

It was with these words that Ashutosh Gowarikar

made Swadesh, Indias first mainstream

commercial film with its hearts in its place, when

it talks about serving the nation. Yes, we had

heard about shahrukh Khans realistic portrayal

of Mohan Bhargava, the project managerworking with NASA who come back to India,

only to face ground realities.

Shahrukhs was just a role, a performance But,

there are many inspiring performance and the

roles played by real life heroesIndians who

served the nation to make it what it is today.

It takes just a few minutes or seconds to expose

intelligent humans to the most inevitable and

powerful truth in life but it takes years to prove

the same.

And hey, we are alive and powerful. So lets look

around and listen to cry of mother India, which isunheard. Choose your role and act appropriately.

We all have some responsibility towards our

country, which we must understand and practice

Youth and nation have to walk hand in hand.

Most important, the youth should be honest and

hard working.

Youth should stand against all the wrong doing

in the country, Instead of blaming the system,

young India should come together and with

their toil should mould our nation for a better

tomorrow. We, the youth should use our brain,strength, creativity and imagination to serve our

nation. Instead of asking, whos going to fight

the corporation?, we should do it ourselves.

Rather than fighting upon the issues and

running the country, we should learn to develop

it.

I salute all those youths of the past who made

an efforts to make a difference.

We need to learn from yesterday and live with

hopes for a better tomorrow. So we have to do

our bit for the nation and be the change that we

have always wanted.

Mom..I Didnt Drink..!!!

I went to a party Mom,

I remembered what you said.

You told me not to drink, Mom,

So I drank soda instead.

I really felt proud inside, Mom,

The way you said I would.

I didn't drink and drive, Mom,

Even though the others said I should.

I know I did the right thing, Mom,

I know you are always right..

Now the party is finally ending, Mom,

As everyone is driving out of sight..

As I got into my car, Mom,

I knew I'd get home in one piece.Because of the way you raised me,

So responsible and sweet.

I started to drive away, Mom,

But as I pulled out into the road,

The other car didn't see me, Mom,

And hit me like a load.

As I lay there on the pavement, Mom,

I hear the policeman say,

"The other guy is drunk," Mom,

And now I'm the one who will pay.

I'm lying here dying, Mom....

I wish you'd get here soon.

How could this happen to me, Mom?

My life just burst like a balloon.


32/61


There is blood all around me, Mom,

And most of it is mine.

I hear the medic say, Mom,

I'll die in a short time.

I just wanted to tell you, Mom,

I swear I didn't drink.

It was the others, Mom.

The others didn't think.

He was probably at the same party as I.

The only difference is, he drank

And I will die.

Why do people drink, Mom?

It can ruin your whole life.

I'm feeling sharp pains now.Pains just like a knife.

The guy who hit me is walking, Mom,

And I don't think it's fair.

I'm lying here dying

And all he can do is stare.

Tell my brother not to cry, Mom.

Tell Daddy to be brave.

And when I go to heaven, Mom,

Put "GOOD BOY " on my grave.

Someone should have told him, Mom,

Not to drink and drive.

If only they had told him, Mom,

I would still be alive.

My breath is getting shorter, Mom.

I'm becoming very scared.

Please don't cry for me, Mom.

When I needed you, you were always there.

I have one last question, Mom.Before I say good bye.

I didn't drink and drive,

So why am I the one to die?

Where lovers first love and then marry,Where there is place for every Tom, Dick and

Where telephone bills make a person ill,

Where a person cannot sleep without a pill.

Where carbon-dioxide is more than oxygen,

Where the road is considered to be a dustbin,

Where college canteens are full and classes

empty,

Where Adam teasing is also making an entry,

Where a cycle reaches faster than a car,

Where everyone thinks himself to be a star,

Where sky scrapers overlook the slum,

Where houses collapse as the monsoon comes,

Where people first act and then think,

Where there is more water in the pen than ink,

Where the roads see-saw in monsoon,Where the beggars become rich soon,

Where the roads are levelled when the minister

Where college admission means hard cash,

Where cement is frequently mixed with ash.

From the Principals Desk

Life comes to a full circle after entering the

portals of Versova Welfare Trust KMCC. It was

here that I had begun my career as a teen

primary teacher of this institution way back inthe sixties and moved on to achieve academic

hallmarks in my career spanning 41 years as an

educator. Nostalgia greeted me on the very first

day of office when Mr. Mazhar batch of 1968- 69

recognised me as his Flora teacher of Std. I. He

was there check the admission list of his

daughter, and in that connection visited my

office. Tears of joy filled him subsequently

bringing a huge bouquet to congratulate me.

Having being born and bred in Seven

Bunglows childhood memories of open spacesand grounds where I grew up filled my memory.

Word spread across and my old friends and

neighbors dropped in to greet me. The

institution has travelled a long way from a

humble tin shed and first floor structure. I

recollect in the days gone by there was no high

school in the area and the Trust fulfilled the

need. I was glad to know that KMCC was a

decade old and is vision of building responsible

citizens of the society was well under way.

The student body is a mix of all strata

of society wanting to climb the ladder of successthrough education. They are young enthusiastic

full of dreams to make it happen and the faculty

steers the ship of success.

The past few months have been very

hectic, meeting parents, recruiting faculty and

setting the tone of student centered

institution.

Much still remains to be achieved as

space crunch in terms of infrastructure is the

main obstacle to all future plans. Hoping that

the silver lining will be construction of morefloors to ease the suffocation.

On being A Teacher

Teachers are those who use themselves as

bridges, over which they invite students to cross;

then having facilitated their crossing, joyfully

collapse, encouraging them to create bridges oftheir own

-Nikos Kazantzakis

This saying stayed with throughout my student

years and many times I wondered what bridges

they could be. Bridges to connect teachers and

students or bridges about the future of the

students. The answer was finally found when I

decide to become a teacher myself, much to the

surprise and awe of my family and friends.

Growing up we all have a role models, mine wasEnglish teacher at school , Miss Gita Krishnan

and the love that she created for English

language stayed with me for a long time to

come. Maybe that teacher found an outgoing,

extrovert, spark and I was found compeering all

the schools Annual Day As a student of grade

10 circa to the year 2009.When I compared the

college annual day, I somewhere thought, my

dear Miss Krishnan would have been one happy

teacher to see her own student compeering or

having become a Business Communication

Professor herself.Just being on the stage filled me with warm

memories and I suddenly realized the bridge and

how I now encouraged my students to compeer

and when they did I finally.well joyfully

collapsed.

My mother who by virtue of being an English

teacher herself (No pun intended) may have also

silently planted the seed for the love of books

and English language and was quite surprised

herself when I decided to pursue my carrier as a

teacher. There I was with one MASTERS DEGREEand decided that if career in Teachingthen so

it is..!! I started working on my plan which

involved arming myself with technical degree

and it had to be none but the best and in the

best country.USA.

The city...Boston-MECCA of learning and

University town in the United States. My

preparation was extraordinary, just the GRE

exam and TOEFL and off I flew to the University

of MASSACHUSEITS, Boston Campus, to get a

MASTERS IN EDUCATION (MED). My student

years in Boston city were spent in the merry time

of learning as well as getting a Global Education

that we so often talk about. I loved my teachers

and had some great idea exchanges over coffee

and email and at Christmas dinners. Every

semester and every class, I just grew to love my

professors, who made my resolve to become a

professor even stronger. My professors were by

the way from all over the world, in race , color

and country and so were my classmates. Every

class we were just taught, -A Teacher is a

lifelong learner, and when we went out as

interns every semester in Boston City Schools, I

understood. I was to absorb everything like asponge and I did. All the children that I taught,

grade 3, grade 4. Time used to get rough when I

learned to teach students in special education

with learning disabilities and my days and years

to finish my masters degree, all passed too

quickly. When I walked up to receive my degree

on my graduation day, all my professors told me,

A teacher is a lifelong learner. Keep absorbing.

I returned home to India to understand that the

lifelong learning still made sense, a lot of sense. I

understood it all along and now when I put it

into practice; I understand it even deeper and

further.

The values and Ethos about teaching have

changed, the way students dress and address

teachers have changed. But one thing remains

ever so constant THE BRIDGE, where I was

invited by my own teacher to cross and where

now my students have crossed and will go a

long way to create bridges of their own.

New ways of teaching...

Teaching should be full of ideas instead of

stuffed with facts. .

After my graduation in Banking and finance I

was working with J.W.Marriot as a FinanceAssociate in taxation department for 1 year.

Thanks to this that I have a little knowledge

regarding the corporate sector. During my

student year I always thought of giving back the

knowledge to the society.

As Anna Garlin Spencer quotes The experience

of the race shows that we get our most

important education not through books but

through our work. We are developed by our

daily task, or else demoralized by it, as by

nothing else. I always wanted to share practicaland real kind of knowledge so that a student is

aware of what is going on in the world.

I decided to enter teaching profession to expose

the students with my knowledge. The aim of

education should be to teach how to think, than

what to think - rather to improve students

minds, so as to enable them to think for

yourselves, than to load the memory with

thoughts of other men. I started my profession

from MMK College as a visiting faculty for

around 3-4 months and then I landed up in

Kamala Mehta as a professor teachingmanagement students. This college is my

stepping stone towards my profession of

teaching. For the very first time I got an

opportunity to be among the teachers to correct

the university papers and also a great exposure

to the profession of teaching. This is the first

time m enjoying my profession with the

students.

All schools, all colleges, have two great

functions: to confer, and to conceal, valuable

knowledge. The theological knowledge whichthey conceal cannot justly be regarded as less

valuable than that which they reveal. That is,

when a man is buying a basket of strawberries it

can profit him to know that the bottom half of it

is rotten. I think friendly environment will attract

more students and will give more exposure to

them.

In the end I would like to say to all the students

Hard work is the key to success, so work

diligently on any project you undertake. If you

truly want to be successful, be prepared to give

up your leisure time and work past 5 PM and on

weekends. Also, have faith in yourself. If you

come up with a new idea that you believe in,

don't allow other people to discourage you from

pursuing it.

Short Story.

Mr. Aditya Suresh Joshi), age 19, studying in 1st

year of engineering, died in Keshvani Hospital,

Mumbai. He was admitted in Keshavani Hospital

as burned patient.4 days back this boy had goneto Amravati (One of the district place located in

State of Maharashtra ) on study tour. After their

study was over, he, his classmates & his

teachers, all of them were standing on "Badnera"

railway station to catch the train. "Badnera" is

the name of the railway station for " Amravati "

city.

As soon as they arrived on Badnera Railway

station, many of them started taking pictures of

their friends using "Mobile Phones" and/or

"Digital Camera". One of them complained that,

in his camera, he was not able to capture more

number of friends in one frame. He was not able

to catch the angle. Another boy suggested that

let's climb on train boogie and take picture so

that all of them can be accommodated in single

frame.

At that there was one goods wagon (all of them

were oil tankers) train resting between 2 main

railway lines.

Kumar Aditya climbed up oil boogie. Above his

head, 40,000 volts electrical line was passing

through. As soon as he clicked the digital

camera? 40,000 volt current passed through the

camera flash light to his camera and then from

his camera to his fingers and then from his

fingers to his body. All this happened within

fraction of minutes. Next moment he was thrown

from the top. His body was half burned on the

spot.

At that time, his father (my friend) was traveling

in Bangkok . His many friends in Pune came to

know about this via mobile SMS. They instantly

arranged air ambulance in Amravati and his

burned body was brought to Keshavani Hospital

, Mumbai. i was told that this is the best hospital

in Mumbai. For 1 and 1/2 day or so he was

talking to his relatives. When he was admitted to

the hospital, at that time only, doctor informed

his relatives that don't keep great hopes.

Because of lot of complex issues in half burned

body? He died yesterday morning.

* Now how many of us are aware about this

technological threats & dangers? Honestly,

Kumar Aditya and his father was not aware. His

family was not aware. Our entire friend circle of

more than 12,000, we were not aware. Now

should we call ourselves as fully educated and

fully knowledgeable people? Think of it. Please

avoid mobile phones on petrol outlets. Please

avoid talking on mobile phones while driving. i

also know many of my friends who do not

bother about this good suggestion and each

one of them have opted for "Chalta Hai Yaar

Attitude". Please avoid talking on mobilephones while they are in charging mode. Avoid

charging mobile phones near Your bed and/or

near wooden furniture. Avoid mobile phones

near high voltage electrical lines like railway

stations and use flash lights. My friend, his family

members and we all friends learned our lesson

with loss of young life. Now Would You like to

empower Your friends about this accident so as

to avoid future accidents? We can save human

life by empowering all the IT users who are in

Your network? i have done "My Karma {with

deep pains & tears in my eyes}" by empowering

You about this horrible experience.

A Footballer or an Athlete

The greatest sport has to be the one that

includes the best athletes, requires the most skill

in choosing plays, and rakes in the most

prominent television contract of all. The gamethat fulfills all these criteria is football. Football

draws from the largest base of athletes, which

means the best players come to the sport.

Football depends on substantial amounts of

speed, strength and intelligence. Every football

play that is initiated requires exact positioning

and precision from every player on the field,

which means there is little room for error.

One of the finest and most promising footballer

in our college is Mr.Sherwyn Sutarde fromT.Y.BCOM(B) who is trained under Mr.Emanuel

whos from Nigeria after his Primary school. A

simple guy like all of us was inspired by his dad

who was a footballer. Hes also been called as an

best athlete.

Mr.Sherwyn from his childhood been playing

many matches and has been a defender in the

team. It goes with the saying that Defense in

the foundation of any good football team.

The basic goal of every defense is to stop

opposing offenses from advancing down the

field,. Football coaches are fond of saying thatoffense wins games, but defense wins titles. The

reason for this is simple; if the opponent never

scores, a team can never lose.

Earlier he use to play local matches with his local

team and was winning continuously for the years

in juhu. His team has been a runner up on the

Maharashtra state level too.

With his skills of playing the game of football he

was selected in MUMBAI UNITED team which

plays for Mumbai. He is a big fan of Arsenal

Club.

He is giving coaching to the students of

St.joseph high schoolHe is been selected for

International coaching to goa where he is one of

the 22 people who are being selected from

Mumbai for this coaching.Various age group

people are going to be present from various

states of India.

Sense

For him football is not his profession its his love

and dedication towards this game which always

makes him play. More than a footballer he like

to be an athlete as for him in athletics everything

depends on you, how you perform the best is

what matters whereas in football its a team

work. In football even if you are giving your best

the team also needs to give their best. Athelete

is one mans job and determination.

Mr.sherwyn wants the college to give proper

training to the footballers and should have a

good coach because a coach is a coach,no onecan beat the coach.

The sportsman knows that a sport is a

recreation, a game, an amusement and a

pastime, but his eyes are fixed on a higher goal,

on the most important thing in his life, which is

his education or his vocation.

A Gentlemans Game: Cricket

Cricket is a most precarious profession;

it is called a team game but, in fact, no

one is so lonely as a batsman facing a

bowler supported by ten fieldsmen andobserved by two umpires to ensure that

his error does not go unpunished.

John Arlott

Mr. Malik Gillani from T.Y.BMS says The

game that I always played as a little boy

again became my prime sport

contribution towards my institution, no

guesses the game was

Cricket, Cricket basically is more than a

game to everyone in Indiaand is special to everyone in their own

sweet ways similarly it is to

me.

As BMS and BBI sections were small he

was mostly the

Skipper (captain) of the college team, heis basically Fast Bowler and

a Middle order batsman when he used

to play for the North Bombay team. For

him playing for the college was one of

his dreams which came true even

though at an intercollegiate level. He

was achieving quite allot because the


43/61


Game has no bounds and no levels. He

says Whenever we have played a game

against our prime focus has been

respecting the opponent and building

a competitive spirit, and leave winning

or losing to your play and

destiny

He quotes K.S. Rangitsinhji A run is

more difficult to make than no save,

because batting is in its nature a far less

certain and reliable thing than bowling

and fielding.

So to sum up he says Cricket has been

very special and probably would be

Because the spirit of the Game is

amazing and the love for it is true
