Happy Teachers Day

Acharya Devo Bhavaha !!

This is indeed the most important day in the calendar for our indsutry - Education.

May I wish each one of the mentors / faculty and for that matter each CLite / IWSian / Anandan   a very joyous Teachers Day.

Have fun. It is a good day to ask ourselves what couple of things I need to do  / practice to become an even more ‘inspiring mentor’

Antiseptic Education ?

Consider the following short video clips in your mind. Play them in Eastman Colour on a 170 mm screen (not just 70 mm).

Clip One :

A small 8 room school at the foothills of a small village of about 250 homes.Two little girls are trekking up the hillslope barefeet in their half-torn school uniform (the usual white shirt and the navy blue skirt). The hill side bushes are about 2-3 feet in height. The two girls are barely a feet or so above these bushes.

Specs - Village Koyalapanta, Adilabad Distt, Andhra Pradesh. 23rd August 2007, 230 PM

Clip Two :

Another village school has just got over at about 330 PM. At least 100 young girls are walking back homes. I can’t see any homes / village for as far as my eyes can reach. And, these girls are walking back merrily to their homes which would be at least 3-4 kms away, by my conservative estimate.

Location : Village Pench, Off Highway, Madhya Pradesh
