There was a contest recently organised in my company,it was kept for the singing,dancing and mimickry hunt amongst the employees.It was a wonderful event which was organised as a stress releiver for the employees and a change from the normal routine.It was done PAN India by dividing the India into zones and was organised for the North zone.Judges were empanelled from the same feild and were called.It was very interesting to see the employees in costumes and playing in a team.

These days frustration and Depression are part and parcel of life,life is moving so fast especially in India and that too in metropolitan cities you are just running in a race.You leave home and then you are stuck in traffic jam,and you feel frustrated as you are getting late for your morning meetings.When you reach office,you are engrossed with so many multitasking happening and you trying to deliver your best still boss not happy with your work,other kind of frustration gets in.You try coping,meeting your deadlines and just running,by the time you realise you are exhausted you decide to leave for home.If you are unmarried still a better way out but if you are married that too having kids,is another frustration,when you come back home there are n number of domestic issues lined up for your action.This is when depression slowly comes inside you after peeping that it has space to stretch himself inside you.You just want to have your meal and crash on bed so that you can recharge yourself for tommorow.Inbetween this race of getting first,earning money,getting promotion what you leave far behind is your kids.

I had yeasterday attended the sports day of my son’s school,it was quiet interesting to see all the kids wearing white ,age group was 3 years,parents were advised to wear denims and white t shirts.When we had gone one teacher was playing drum and all the kids were doing march past,left right left with one of them taking a flag in front.After that yoga classes happened and all the kids started with gayatri mantra,then they performed butterfly,crocodile asaana’s…with their bums up and then relaxation where some of kids slept.You could not help smiling when it was happening,after that all the kids took their yoga mats and went back.All the parents were called,child was suppose to keep two books on the head of parents and then there was a race happening,the books were not suppose to fall and mamma,papa and baby had to win.It was followed with Musical chair race of parents and in the end gifts were given to kids which carried tennis rakets.My son was thrilled with it and even we quiet enjoyed the idea of Sports Day and look forward for it in future.

Childhood is the best part of your life,you keep cribbing about your studies,you get depressed,you feel pressurised but still it is the best of all the stages of your life.Worst is wat i feel the family life or you can call it’grahastha ashrama’ in sanskrit.You have lot many more responsibilities,you have children to take care of….you have to live with day to day compromises…..whether it is at work or at home.An innocent smile of a child can take away high stress from your face and you feel like going back to same stage.Old age the third part,called bradha ashram in sanskriti is more about you leaving all the ‘moh n maya’ materialistic things of life and meditating to get moksha,All money and the materialistic things are left behind,you come all alone and go all alone to God.We should try making the childhood of child most memorable and special as it stays throughout your life,even the friends you make in childhood always remains,you tend to forget your professional friends made later in life.

However united we are and we claim to be,unless we have one national language as the first language in the country,north-south and east west divide will continue to exist.Due to non existence of one national language English has taken precedence over all the languages that are spoken in the country.Therefore the government should take a strong initiative to declare one language as the national language that should be implemented as the first official language for all the purposes to be followed by every state of the Indian Union without haste.

There is now an emerging scientific consensus that global climate change is real and serious enough to require a dramatic change in the fossil fuel dependence of the world’s economies.The global Environment Facility is joint partnership with UNDP.World Bank funds projects to support developing countries in reducing the risks of climate change.The facility was swtup in 1991 and has been the single largest source of funding for conservation of global environment in emissions of greenhouse gases.

Commercialisation of health,Pharmaceutical and health insurance sectors must stop and government must regulate these sectors for the benefit of common man.Poor people of the country have become alien to the development of Health sector as they do not have access to better health care.Due to access commercialisation the noble services of doctors and medical staff are misused by the group of money making entities,thereby leaving poor unattended.Therefore we request and emphasise the government to regulate the health and pharmaceutical sectors to make their service available to one and all.

There are two schools of thought on child labour,one is rights based definition when all those children not going to school in the category of labour as they are denied the right to education.This needs every child to be compulsory withdrawn from work and put in school.The other school reconises that children work out of necessity and without their earnings the standard oh living of their family would decline further.So child labour could not be eliminated without providing any additional source of income to the parents and proper rehabilitation to the child concerned.India is committed to the eradication of child labour though the country is criticised to be one with a very large number of child labour.India has all long followed a proactive policy with respect to the problem of child labour and has stood for constitutional,statuory and development measures to combat the problem.

It is very interesting to know how the Foreign currency which when we stay in hotels when we go abroad for holidays rolls.The hotels in turn offload the foreign exchange to the Full Fledged money changers who in turn give it to dealers with a very small margin,just that since the currency is in bulk so even a meagre margin turns into a suitable amount.The dealers export the Foreign currency to Bank of America, Dubai etc other hubs and the money keeps on rolling.But either to become a dealer or a Full Fledged Money changer you need to get a licence like in India you need to get it from Reserve Bank Of India.Lots of corporates starts having there corporate tie ups with the money changers and either it sale or encashment is done at very low like Inter Bank Rates.It is very interesting to understand the working of fex transaction how the deals are booked,how from one destination to other the currency moves may be with just few paisa margins along with it Anti Money Laundering law is also running hand in hand with them.People jus luking at the change in cross currency,fluctuations in currency and booking it then and there.

These days admission in nursery in schools has become so difficult in some parts of world.Kids are being interviewd who are just 3 years and 3 months.The age for kids may vary from country to country for the admission in Nursery.You need to first buy the prospectus of school and get an activation key from there and then apply online with a long form for the same.If you are shortlisted you are called for the interaction with your original certificates,have no idea if the parents are not literate so much,do they don’t have right for admission to their school.Kids are so small at 3years,i don’t know if they are actually ready to go for a bigger school.The kids are given home work for the weekends when they should have been actually enjoying.
