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 3rd 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

POWER OF WRITING!!!

Writing is the art of expressing our thoughts and feelings in a better manner. It is the art required for any one and everyone to ensure their growth in their chosen profession. writing is one of the easiest way of improving every aspect of our life.

As we know that Reading and writing are the two ways by which we can remember what we do, even then Power writing always leads the Power of Reading.

In this blog i would like to share one of my personal experience about the advantages of writing down our thoughts or opinions. Many times it used to happen with me that, when ever i read something i was not in a position to implement it to the appreciating level. From past 4 days i am again re-attached to my old habit of writing i could understand my self better with a at most clarity in what ever i think and do, not only that but what ever i share it with you all people from past 3 days in my blog, i am proud to say this i am implementing it to the core. This got me further confirmed that writing has a power of controlling the activities at the sub conscious level as well. As i goggled about the power of writing i was wondered by seeing the number of outcomes of writing.

Here are the few of the advantages we get When we make Writing as our HABIT!!!!

1) Writing helps us improve Memory Power.
2) Written documents serves as a Permanent record. 
3) Writing makes us to focus seriously, to be clear Sincerely. 
4) Writing Increase the accountability in us.
5) Written documents gives us GUARANTEE not only ASSURANCE.  
... and lots more which you are thinking already now.     
Thank you for the time spent on reading this blog, hope it will help you a lot!!!

If you need your WORD to reach RIGHT SPOT, then make sure that YOU WILL WRITE DOWN YOUR THOUGHT!!!
All sought of feedback are welcomed with at most respect!!!
