The School Of My Dreams!

Every institution has a head of its own. And my school too has a head mistress. A strict yet kind and compassionate lady! She is a great woman but I have at times dreamt about what would happen if this school was run by me? Oh yes, this is what I’m writing about today!

I can imagine standing on that big podium in front of the mike addressing a number of chattering school girls. My first attempt would be to try to make them silent but after a few tries, I retrieve. After all, I too had been a child. What is the harm in letting these excited girls talk for a few minutes before assembly? They are meeting their friends after a two day weekend and they would have so much to tell! So why not allow them?

After sometime, the noise would vanish by itself as the girls become ready to pray. After asking God to shower His holy blessings upon them, they begin the day with the divine blessings of Lord! But as you would imagine them going to classes and beginning studies, I have something else under my sleeves!

The school would not be that same old building with dull colors. It will be all in pink and blue and yellow and bright vibrant colors. I would name it “Fun-Time”. After all, childhood is the best phase of life so I would let the kids enjoy themselves instead of burdening them with loads of books and studies and home-work. I would abolish the system of home-work. A child studies for at least five hours in school so how do you expect him to do her home work too, along with these studies?

I would shorten the duration of every class. Instead of a 30 minutes class, I would make it a 15 minute class. How long can a child look at the same teacher and the same numbers or words. Everyone needs a change and the sooner, the better! I would give a 2 hour interval where the kids can eat a relishing meal and enjoy themselves…play, run about, scream or anything else they want to do!

As you’d expect me to be, instead of a teacher or head-mistress, I would be a friend of the kids. I would help them out in their troubles and try to solve their day-to-day problems. I’d open a Counseling Committee where the kids could consult good teachers about their problems. I would also open a lavish library with a variety of books so the shy ones could enjoy themselves in the company of their good friends.

There would be no examinations and tests until the 10^th grade when the student becomes adult enough to handle the examination pressure and enter the competitive world outside. Until then, I would teach the kids to think out of the box. I would try to develop their creative talents and engage them in a variety of extra-curricular activities which they can enjoy!

I would open an Activity Center with a big sports field and gym for the athletes. There would be a T.V room so a child would not miss her favorite programs due to school. But a child would only be allowed to watch a half an hour show during the whole school time. This means I would underline the importance of self-discipline but not lay stress upon the students.

My school would be a place where the kids could enjoy themselves and learn too, but not from those heavy text-books but with interactive teachers and natural surroundings. My school of dreams would be a place where every child would like to be. It would change the meaning of school for every kid, instead of boring studies and stuff; it would be a place of friendship, joy and merriment!

Friendship: The Everlasting Bond!

Friends forever

I want you near

When my heart bleeds

You are the one who stops me weep

The one alone who helps me out

When there is not a soul about

You are the one who wipes my tears

And vanquishes all my fears

When I don’t understand

You remind me who I am

You know me better than I do

People like you are very few

Don’t leave me ever

Promise me you’ll be a friend forever!

Don’t Grow Long Hair!

'Bald Is Beautiful' No, there is no such saying! Then why? Because I have to ask you a simple question.

Have any of you got long, silky hair? Why this sudden interest in hair, you might ask?

Imagine yourself with long, good hair. You have grown this hair after hard work of around a decade. You are then flaunting your beauty while walking on the street back home.

Suddenly, a motorcyclist whizzing by, stops besides you. He takes out a knife/scissors and LOL! Cuts all your hair making you almost bald in a few minutes!

This is exactly what a lady at Rio De Janeiro in Brazil experienced. According to reports, a lady who had long hair (more than four feet) which she had been trying to grow since 20 years was walking on the street while returning home from church.

Two men on a motorcycle stopped by, took out a machete and cut her hair! Destroying all her hard work in minutes and leaving her with less than shoulder length hair!!

Strange, eh? Now I do not know if they too were bald or if they were going to use that hair to make wigs which could be sold at $555. All I can say is, if you have long hair, you are lucky not to be in Brazil!

Oh Lord, Why Me?

Sick, frail and sweat dripping from his brow, 8 year old Rajesh entered his petty mud hut which in no way could be called a home. The exhausted little child handed over his daily wages in the hands of his pale mother. He then retired on a pile of dry straw which they called a bed.

While asleep, the daily happening of the day passed through his mind. He had awakened before the sun was in the sky and had set out for 10 kilometer by foot. Due to lack of money, he could not afford conveyance charges or even the public bus.

Terror had stricken the family after his father’s death. The small farm they had was also taken away by the impious wealthy merchants. He and his family along with his two sisters were stranded on the road. At that time, Rajesh had only been 5 years old. The burden of the family now fell upon his own shoulders, thus he was compelled to earn a living.

He found a job as a waiter at a trivial tea-stall. His master was a cruel man like all others. He did not pay the daily promised money and cheated him. He made him slog from morn to dust without a moment of rest. They only had a 15min break where a plate of stale bread was thrown before them.

Today had been worse than usual. Due to the increasing amount of tourists in the city, he was made to strive harder. Then all day long, he trudged hard listening to the ill words of his master and bearing a grudge against him in his heart. Finally at dawn he was given leave and the promised amount of money.

While returning home, he passed by a school. With glistening eyes he saw young children skipping around the playground, enjoying themselves to the core of their heart. He turned his face away to hide the tears that dwelled in his eyes and envy those lucky kids. He had desired to go to a school and study but now the wish had been buried away in his heart…..his dream never to be realized!

While sleeping at home, he saw blurred visions of himself in an ironed school dress waving to his parents from the school premises. But these visions were suddenly transformed to reality…a petty boy dressed in rags with a cloth in his hand wiping at tables in a small tea shop, to support his family. All he could say with a heavy heart, with tears flowing from his eyes and a large wound embedded in his heart was, “Oh Lord, why me?”

Such voices can be heard all around you. But do you ever care to listen?
