Skep, What a truly AWESOME story !!!!!!
So simple ....... " Change yourself first " ..... yet the most ignored option !!!!!!!
I studied in a Convent too, we used to have a lot of Priests / Nuns visiting us ...... What struck me everytime, was their love / passion for their job ........
They had a way about them ...... they used to connect with the audience so well ..... be it students or teachers or parents ......
Thanks for sharing this with us !!!!

Here is Dew's interaction with me via PM. She wasn't able to post here so she PMed me. Here is a reproduction of her message.

First thing, sorry abt your cat.. just got to know from An..

Regdg the Jotting..Amazing.. Loved it.. have read something of yours after this long.. and reading it I realised I miss the bold, red, font.. 😊
you know, I have read this tale in school.. the shoe one.. and it still remains in my mind. It was a chapter in my Hindi Book.. about a king and his minister.
TP comment- You must have had absolutely no trouble drawing that shoe na( having seen your amazing hand at sketching).. had I been there, you would have laughed at my attempt.. 😉
P.s. Love this, now being a mother myself-
To make the school a happy place to be in, you as a teacher must change yourself - your heart, your point of view and not the child. You are here to help the child to grow and metamorphose.
Learn to see not just with your eyes but with your hearts, widen your way of thinking, constantly be creative and improvise."
.......................................................
You know I posted this here after reading Walter's comment. When we were all active on the forum with MRD, Dew used to often say that she and Dawn were like twins........they thought so much alike.
She has commented on the same lines as you Sprite. 😲 How come?

Hey skep infact this is something I too have observed never pointed it though. They mostly think on the same lines cosmic twins I guess.
But this story is really very touching and it is applicable to every thing in life not only just teachers.
As I have earlier said that most of the things can make us happy just that we need to change our way to look at it.

Guys ....... check this out .........
I was on the computer in my home office when my eight-year-old son asked what I did for a living. "I'm a consultant," I said.
"What's a consultant?"
"It's someone who watches people work and then tells them how they could do it better."
"We have people like that in my class," he said, "but we call them pests."

- Katie Adams
From the Reader's Digest ....... Isn't that cute ?????
Here's another again from the July 04 Reader's Digest .......
Arriving at the scene of a road accident, some people and I tried to console a woman who appeared quite badly injured. However, we had difficulty getting answers to our questions about her condition and personal details. She sobbed as a man rang for an ambulance on his mobile phone. "A woman has been injured," he said. "She's about 35, appears to be in pain but is too distressed and incoherent to tell us anything." At that point, the woman looked up and stopped crying long enough to snap, "I'm 30!"

😆😆😆 ...... Rather telling isn't it ?????

Do share with us how you spent your day !



There isn't much to write about actually......

lets see......

my father...miraculously remembered my birthday.....miraculous because he always gets a msg in the morning to remind him its one of his children's bday and than in the afternoon we get an sms or he comes home and is like HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! and off course he'll never admit that he got a reminder...would say that he knew it was your birthday...😆 fathers are a strange breed😆🤗

my younger bro's bday is also in June.....on the 2nd....and i msgd my father to remind him that its his youngest's birthday......and apparently he determined that he will not forget mine at any cost....and he actually remembeed that its my bday on 12th......and he wished me as well😊 i was skeptical....thinking my bro msgd him but no he did on his own😆

as for the day itself............well nothing much on it..................

bro came home for the weekend...but my father couldnt make it on the day itself...he works in another city ...so came on Saturday....breakfast.......aloo ke paranthay...with raita (who cares its summmer😆) lunch and dinner at home...my favorite dishes.......including Biryani (i hope i m not the only non-veg person here😳) were part of the menu....there was one more chicken dish.....the sole vegetable being Karelay......and oh there were saabat masar ki daal as well......i call it kaali daal...sounds easier...basically my favorite vegetable and daal😆😆😆..dessert was ice cream ... and rus milai😳

And in the evening.....we went out for the heck of it and bought some goodies ....including a cake.....death by chocolate....... i ate most of it😳 my father barely got a slice or two when he came home😆 also went to this really good book shop and bought more trashy novels to read.......and yes watched some cricket...😃......i spent most of my day on phone and internet..... 'course because of the security situation in my city...things were a bit tense so couldnt make very elaborate plans.........

I will now try to go to this new supermarket in the area.....pretty cool place actually.....my father still needs to give me a present.......both a bday one and a graduation one.......lets see....it isnt unusual for me to get bday gifts a month after the fact....

as for mom....she bought me these really expensive suits.....lil bro is still a student so cant exactly make expensive demands of him.....i told him the gift i wanted from him........dvds of the seasons of some of my favorite dramas.....and dvds of gossip girl as well.....never seen this one before but intend to.......plus....he has asked me to draw up a list of fav movies and he'll bring those dvds as well when he comes home for the summer break next month.......since he plans on going online from his colg labs and download all this stuff.......for free.......all he need to spemd money on is rite able dvds.....😛😆

elder bro.....he asked me to prepare a bday wishlsit and he'll bring home the stuff next time he comes......am still thinking sbout it......will be a pretty elaborate list probably😆 i was always the considerate one...thinking i shouldnt ask for anything to expensive and all.......my younger bro however asked for a digital camera last time bhai was coming home.....and he got the latest one.....so this time....i wont be considerate😃😎 lavish...over priced and definitely soething i want .... not necessarily i need😆

and havent got any gifts from friends yet......we have to go to colg one ladt time to ge our transcripts .... mite take a cake to colg than but depends.........weather is too hot and cafe is likely to be closed......

well thats about it....😊

i cant find the newspaper rite now or would have added what my horoscope said........not that i believe in such stuff but it was a good one😆😆😆

well thats about it....😊ohhhhhhhhhhhh it was a good day all in all

i cant find the newspaper rite now or would have added what my horoscope said........not that i believe in such stuff but it was a good one😆😆😆Why do you need that when I am am right here?

I went to my dad and told him to lend me his crystal ball since my pesky aunts refused to part with theirs. He readily gave it to me. I looked into it long and minutely. I saw a scene in the frame.
It was a beautiful valley. A pretty lass was standing under an elm tree. Her hand was resting on the thick trunk and she was looking towards the horizon. Her pink flowing dress lifted and swished about her feet and her hair blew gently over her face in the soft breeze. She couldn't be more than 23. A little one.
With my keen eyes, I could see a dot on the horizon.......What's this I thought? The pretty maid couldn't see it. I zoomed my special eyes and saw the dot grow larger.
*Gasp* It was a man on a white horse. He wore a black cape and had a mask covering his eyes. The grooves in his lean cheeks were prominent as he steered his horse speedily. I realised this TDH hunk was racing towards the fair maiden.
I dont understand human emotions very well but I know this race is a sucker for an emotion called LOVE.
I swished my wand ............... and stars sprinkled everywhere. Some of the dust fell on the horseman and some on the beautiful girl under the tree. My magic is going to work. I will see that it does. When Love blooms betw them, everything is going to look splendid. Life is going to be wonderful for my little one.
That's for sure.
