A journey...

The journey from a small village in Malnad to the bright lights of Las Vegas was nothing short of surreal. As a young girl, she had no idea what lay beyond those lush green hills. The world outside felt like a distant dream, something you'd hear about but never really understand. Life in the village was simple—familiar faces, routine days, the smell of rain on mud. She had no clue what challenges awaited her in the vast unknown.

And then came Vegas. The sheer contrast was staggering—glittering lights, endless noise, and a pace of life that made your head spin. It wasn’t just the sights or the crowds; it was the realization that the world was so much bigger than she had ever imagined. Every corner brought a new challenge, every day a lesson. From navigating unfamiliar streets to learning how to stand her ground in this fast-moving world, it was a whirlwind.

But through it all, she never forgot where she came from. The quiet strength she learned back in the village carried her through the noise. That journey, from Malnad to Vegas, wasn’t just a physical one—it was a crash course in life itself. A reminder that no matter how far you go, the roots you carry with you will always keep you grounded.

SUPW - Socially useful and productive work!

The ones out of this are - General Knowledge, moral science, story telling, project work - these become the building block for a child's growth in a complete way. Last week an evening as I returned home, a neighbour's kid was waiting for me the enitre afternoon for help.He needed guidance to complete his project work. The school had come up with a concept to bring the creativity out of a child's mind.It goes this way - use the waste materials and create something useful - Socially useful and productive work(SUPW). SUPW is another learning area falling under the non-scholatic domain - This ensures that the students develop better understanding of their social and environmental issues.

A cry not heard!

Ray of light far from sight All his need is a caring feed A place to sleep, a blanket to keep - the despodent waif Warm and safe Cruel men see the poor one plead, Emptiness filled hearts hesitant to share a part. On the pavement's corner sits this lad a bit. Weak and pale telling his tale None hear Do they feign fear? Hoping - is all he could do for some fresh hot stew Every passer-by down the lane Ignore this guy and all his pain Why is this scene not wiping off my brain Serene it Remains Revives time and again As I sit by the window of the train.

Tantrums of logging on.

It was a normal day when I was doing my usual work at office. A known tune started ringing on my cell phone. Without even checking the number/name flashing on the phone I knew it was from home - [Ring tone is set to the song " masakkali masakkali "] Dad on the other end wanted step by step procedure to logon to my laptop and then he needed to logon to gmail. We've (Sis and me)been telling him to learn this bit from quite some time now. Not that he is unaware of the keys,he does have first hand experience working with Url's and other computer basics while he was in his tenure. But this techie stuff is something that doesn't get onto his heads now at this age within a go. I proudly admire his attempt to learn and excel it. Now, it was a day when sis was still in Australia and Dad wanted to catch her online. Why now? Can we do it tomorrow .- Asked I. No we have some relatives at home, so it would be nice if we can get her online now - came the respone. ( Some relati...
