Model Teachers - Problem of the TWO worlds

It is very difficult to be the MODEL teacher in the eyes of the world. It is the edge of TWO worlds : the students and the colleagues. Just toady my class was making noise and the teacher tells me that the students are so because I am lenient. Not that I am against the teacher, but is it my fault that the teacher cannot control her students. I thought she was on a substitution, and it turned it was her class. Oh God!!!! When I heard this the next day I was infuriated. My class asked her if she would teach and she said NO, so they started talking, resulting in them getting their PT class cancelled!
My students are very happy with me because I like to give them Freedom and Experiment for them to really Learn and be truly in the world, not the bookworms.
This concept was not taken very gracefully by any of my superiors where I worked. But now when I've left, they understand what I meant to the students. Its great that at-least where I am now is giving me the freedom to teach how I want and the students enjoy the extra bit of information I am able to give them. The colleagues though feel differently! Well i guess I can never change! I love children and that can never change!
Well on that I can and hope I will never change, God Willing, of course!

Prem ka Intekal

Uski nazrein to kahin aur hai Ab hamara dard unko kya dikhega Mar bhi jayein hum agar Kafan bhi na odhane vo ayega Chalo ab ye gum bhi seh lete hain Zindagi ko vida kar chalte hai In aankhon ne dekha hai Tadap teri us insaan ke liye Kar nahi paaya mai kuchh teri qasam Dil ke haathon majboor the kiye Chale jaana chahtey they tumse door is kadar Ke nafrat me tum dekh , mujhe yaad na karo Kambhakkt yadein itni taazi hain aaj Tere har ghav ki, Pyaar me bas pagal hun,rahunga. Mit jaun aaj mai is qadar is dunuya se Koi hai nahi mera tere siva Tujhe to chahiye us bewafa ka saath Meraa pyaar kahaaan padega poora Faaslon ne mujhe har waqt tadpaaya Khush rehna tum oh meri jaan Teri yaadon me manzoor nahi rona Mil jaaon mai mitti me, qabar ho ya masaan

In Pursuit of Happiness

As we march on in this world, the pursuit of happiness has always been at the heart of everything we do. We chase the ice cream man through the streets, after having begged for some money to enjoy the ice lolly. Pure Joy! Or the elation as the birthday draws closer, new clothes, gifts and much more. Did I forget, cake? Ahh… Heaven! Our pursuit of happiness has been tied to basically everything under the sun, except the one thing that matters most. Discontent, fear and loneliness continue to bare their fangs inspite of everything around us being calm and bright.   What then stops us from achieving the eternal bliss that eludes us every time we reach it? Is it the deep rooted fear of losing it? Is it plain selfishness and desire? Or is it what the priests, swamis, and gurus say, the unsatiated thirst for more? Is there all that is to it? I am enamoured by the story of the musk deer. I am sure that it is an oft heard story and one which has more to offer than all wisdom...

In Retrospect

So much to say, no words today What can i do, my life just gray Wanted to paint the rainbows of life Turned to see, my heart in strife. Where do I go? Where shall I hide? My eyes well up at the thought in tides! What answer does my heart seek in its grief His love made me full in this time brief.. He has no answers to what my mind asks The heart in his love wants to bask Little does he know, what my life has been It has plunged into murk from all the sheen I wish today in tears for two hearts, I would have still danced to Mozart But God decided to give me just one He sits high up there, has fun. His words pierce like dagger through the soul Like feet on a stony path, in a ragged sole Praying for his love shield, I cried, I begged I knew, this path only to my grave led. Heart writhing in pain doesnt speak Just lets out a little squeak All is well I say to the broken pieces This is all the work of Iblees That day will come, when he will the exp...
