The First Day, First Class let it be the MASS HIT!!!!!!!!!!!!

This blog is purely dedicated to my fellow teachers around the world who will be witnessing the massive fresh energy in the students as they begin their academic journey (In most of the cities in the subcontinent India). It is our responsibility as a teacher to direct this fresh enthusiasm in the right direction. A channelized fresh energy (is like water with a high kinetic energy) can generate power.  Amidst of all the regular formalities that we will introduce to the students during the beginning of this academic year, like syllabus, attendance, internal marks, code of conduct, etc ,etc.. I would urge you to share the stuffs that will pull (the globally recognized as an efficient way of production concept used in Japan’s Toyota Motors) the students attention towards you. After all anyone can listen to us if we could tell them something differently that they would have never expected. The best way I have recognize, tested, implemented and mastered to command the respect from the students is to show that we can overshoot their expectations. I personally never used to tell anything related to their academics rather the stuffs I used to share a story with them that will open their eyes towards their responsibility as a good student, good children and above all a good citizen. This way encouragement not only bonds them to their responsibility but also makes them to trust you as a reliable person and follow you as a genuine teacher. As many of belong to the same generation as our students do, would we like to listen the same syllabus, marks outline from a teacher in a class room when it is available at their fingertips.  So think on the lines what our students actually need and give them. We could start with realizing their potential as youth for the nation, promote them to take part in sports (I am personally passionate to see more number of medals for our country in Olympics than ever before) and co-curricular activities during their free time, promote them to involve in social causes which is the best way I found to master the skills which helps them cracking the interview and the list can go on and on as broad as our vision for them.                               

                On a concluding note, I would like to share one real effect that I got updated a while ago before I compile this blog. Two of my students (Ravi and Sagar) from 2012-2016 batch who basically hails from the remote part of my state Karnataka, came approaching me when they were in their 3^rd year of engineering studies to seek guidance that can build their communication and leadership skills, I directed them to a platform that can give them what they are in need. Very soon they ventured into their own NGO, represented our institution in an Agricultural based Technological Exhibition held at Rashtrapati Bhavan (The Presidential House of Indian President), New Delhi, India. As I write this blog I got a thank you message after they successfully completed the visa interview with USA embassy, very soon they will be representing INDIA in global leadership forum WORLD MERIT 360, which selects and nurtures 360 youths around the globe to support the top 10 sustainable goals of UNO. Isn’t it crazy, 21 year kids talking something that we all would have never even thought of doing it so. Let me be very clear, I have done nothing in this aspect all I did is to give them little extra time to share my view about their career in class which pulled them to come to my cabin and seek that guidance. By this, If you could feel the impact, I wish you all the very best to impact your student fraternity. Watch out this space for my next blog related to the lecturing delivery skills, good luck J

Walking and Writing are the best ways to Burst out our Stress!!!!!!!!!!!

In these so called modern days, we are engaged in different activities right from the time we get up in the morning to till we go for bed. Each of these activities comes with its own complexities. We have been taking care to start our day with fresh energy, but as the day proceeds we will go crazy because of the complexities or challenges involved in our day to day tasks. By the end of the day we not only lose our energy but also the enthusiasm of working, there will be a drastic rise of stress upon our mind and body. Of course there are many remedies that come handy which could be healthy and unhealthy, when i said unhealthy many of us could empathize with the variety of stuffs. Equally acknowledgeable are the huge set of healthy stuffs also, it could be going for recreational and sports clubs, art and music classes and the list goes on. I wonder how many of us do all of these (by the way healthy way of bursting out the stress) regularly, i mean we get stressed regularly which everyone accepts it but when we question how many of us try to release it by engaging in healthy activities that too on a regular basis, you could imagine the number, i.e. not much. The prime reason is that we get resisted by our mind to involve it appears to more stressful due to multiple reasons. Hence through this blog I would like to suggest the two best ways which i find it as it can be performed easily with lesser time in a place available in and around where we are located. One is to go out for a walk connecting ourselves with the nature, doing self-talks, injecting positive affirmations and more over analyzing our day and think what we could have been done better so as to enhance the value towards our work. The one more idea is to write, writing is the best way to express it may not be necessarily a blog but even we could scribble something on our mind on a scribbling pad. We could scribble our daily thoughts, action plans, dreams which we plan to achieve, vision for our life, our next shopping plans, travel destinations, we could writing a situation which could end in being a short film story, a series of short articles which could be compiled as a book, what not the list goes on and on. By the by these two ideas does not demands any monetary investment unlike clubs and societies but it all asks us for our time, which we are responsible to make it available for our own goodness. If I would have not decided to write this blog I would have been to bed by this time but I chose to write some of my professional theories which expanded my knowledge base and just now I am going to complete this blog about the above subject, at this time almost as a day starts in India, Nightlife begins in USA and midnight in Ireland where i stay. With this I hope i have busted out my stress by blogging about the same now, which had got accumulated over last two days. Irrespective of the time zone we are in when we read this blog as symbol of fresh start of our stressless  day, i wish all of us a magnificent day ahead, Good Morning!!!!!!!!!!!!!
