Determination is the
Foundation of Success
“Is Your Child Ready To Face The World?” The book is a great inspiration to the parents as well as their children because in this book, Dr. Anupam Sibal, who is a pediatrician and a father, has sought to instill positive values and good qualities in his son. These are essential for anyone looking to live a valuable and respectful life.
By focusing on a different value in every chapter, he
wants to convey to his readers that nurturing values and good attitude is a
very difficult task for the parents. As a result, he has tried to share some
tricks that he is picked up on his journey to equip his child to face the
world.
When I was reading about Determination, I remembered a
child (Aditya Roy) who was studying in Class 9. I used to observe him while
teaching his class. He was the only one in class who neither interacted with
teachers nor with the students. I was curious to find out the reasons for this.
So, I called him to the staff room one day during lunch time. While walking to
the staff room I observed that his legs were shivering. It was only then that I
found out that the child was disabled. Upon asking him about it, I realized his
disability had resulted in his developing an inferiority complex.
I decided to solve this by helping him in his studies.
Later that day, I visited his house and discussed the problem with him. I tried
to motivate him by telling him stories of great people (like Stephen Hawking,
Sudha Chandran, Helen Keller, etc.), who were disabled too but did not let it
get in their path to success. They strengthened their determination and went on
to do path breaking things.
I regularly motivated him, and praised him for every
small achievement. After a couple of days, I noticed a drastic change in his
behaviour as well as in his academic performance. Now, he looks more confident
while asking questions to the teachers. He is friendly towards his classmates
too.
Recently, he stood 4th in the Board examination in the
district.
Motivating students and making them realize the
importance of determination goes a long way in instilling the confidence
required to face the world. -Kusum

SKILL
Ganesh Chaturthi is celebrated with great devotion all
over India. People bring home Idols of Lord Ganesha and celebrate the
festival by worshiping the Lord in a special way for a day and a half, 3 days,
5 days, 7 days or 11 days depending on the family tradition and commitment of
each individual.On the last day of worship the idol is taken out in a colourful
and musical procession to be immersed traditionally at a beach.
Two-three months before the festival,
beautiful clay models of Lord Ganesh are made by skilled artisans and sold
in the markets. These beautiful statues depict Lord Ganesh in various
poses. On the day of
Ganesh Chaturthi, these statues are brought home with lot of excitement. For the next 10 days, localities witness
beautiful pandals with
huge statues of Ganesh. The priests in every pandal perform four main holy
rituals- first being Pranapratishhtha to invoke life into the statues amidst
the chanting of sacred verses.
The ritual is then followed by
Shhodashopachara- 16 forms of paying tribute to the Lord. Next one is Uttarpuja,
which is a pooja in which the idol could be shifted from one place to another
and the last ritual is Ganpati Visarjan, which is the immersion of the idol in
water. The visarjan is followed by loud chanting of "Ganpati Bappa Morya,
Pudcha Varshi”
This is one of the most popular festivals in the Country.
There are several reasons for this. Ganpati is after all a popular God. His
blessings are invoked at most religious ceremonies as He is the one who can
remove all obstacles to success. He is the giver of fortune and can help to
avoid natural calamities.Ganpati, the god of wisdom and the benevolent deity of
the dynasty of Peshwas who ruled Maharashtra inculcating a special culture in
the state. Ganpati is the herald of auspicious beginnings and is the beloved
deity of all. -Krisha Dave/ IX/ GH
