Ganesh Puja

Mehrangarh Fort -Jodhpur

It gives solace to the mind when I come across greenery on the way while going to visit my uncle’s place in Phulbani/Kandhamal district, Odisha. Passing through those lush green forest, hill pass and streams on the way gives an amazing feeling as it makes me come closer to nature. This time while me and my little sis were savoring the beauty around, she pointed out Lichen growing in the bark of the trees which is an indicator that the air around is fresh and pollution free. Fresh air is what we crave in the city, and recently there have been a drastic change in the weather that we don’t even get the season as per the months that we used to study in our text books. We have been experiencing summer in the month of Feb and Rain in the month of May. This create an agitation in my mind and somehow somewhere deep inside I wish that the places which are still green and pure are better not exploited by we humans and add to environmental damage.

Graduation Days- Part I

Have you ever attended a lecture of any subject dedicatedly during your graduation in college? If no then you are to be blamed, if yes then full credit goes to the Teacher. This Teacher’s Day makes me peek into memories of my college days in Rama Devi, Bhubaneswar. There would be lectures where students would attend (only) for attendance and another probable reason would be failing to escape before the Teacher enters the hall. Thanks to the architect for making two doors in every class room, one in the front and another in the back. That gives a leverage to back benchers to leave the class in the midst of hundred students without teacher’s notice. This used to be the saga of a typical commerce student. However, students never used to apply this stereotypical behaviour in one lecture and that was of Amit Sir’s Business Law class. His lucid way of teaching and charismatic personality was enough to grasp student’s attention on the subject. As far I remember, that was the only class where there would be almost full attendance and for the rest , back door was already there. :)

My deep respect and gratitude to such Teachers for easing the learning process and making us what we are today. Happy Teacher’s Day!!!
