Bali
The Sukh Niwas Palace is located in front of the Jai
Mandir of Bundi and is decorated with some of the interesting features.
The doors of the Sukh Niwas Palace are made up of sandal wood and spread rich
aroma in the surroundings. There are proper water channels made to allow the
water to let out properly. In past times these water channels were used to flow
of cold water and to keep the palace cool during the summer season. This idea was
followed to have the effect of air conditioners when there was no electricity.
As far as the architecture is concerned the entire palace is decorated with
typical Bundi styled murals on all over the walls. The distinctive of these
murals is they are in rich maroon, deep blue and off green color.
Built by Maharao Raja Vishnu Singh in 1773, the Palace has a
beautiful garden. It was used as a summer palace by the Maharajas of Bundi
State and was the scene of festival processions. The Sukh
Niwas palace is made up of the locally mined stones of Bundi. The palace is an
example of one of the premium specimens of Rajput structural design. There are
beautifully carved brackets, pillars and balconies in the palace. The statues
of elephants are very gorgeous and made to use abundantly all over the palace.
There
is a Diwan – E-Aam, Hathi pol and Naubat khana inside
the palace. There is a famous chitrashila or painting room located in the
palace. It gives you a glimpse in the history of the past. The walls and
ceilings are completely covered with paintings of the Bundi School. There are
shooting scenes, court scenes, festive processions and celebrations on the
wall. There are also pictures of beautiful birds, animals and the scenes from
the life of Lord Krishna. All these paintings are in very good condition and
tell you a lot about the art and existence in the past. Rudyard Kipling stayed
here at the Sukh Niwas Palaces, Bundi as he spent quality time in this palace
and has many good memories.

Parental Pressure: A Virus For The Child
“Is Your Child Ready to Face the World?” by Dr. Anupam Sibal is an outstanding book, which deals with the qualities and skills that are necessary for both parents and teachers to build a strong relationship with a child. With changing times, the emergence of a generation gap between parents and their children is natural. This book has effectively touched upon a range of qualities that can help us approach a child, communicate with him, and instil these qualities in him.This book consists of eighteen qualities which, I think, are necessary for a child preparing to face the world. If a teacher wants her child to imbibe these qualities, she too needs to change herself first. A teacher is a second parent to the child while he or she is at school. Her first task is to absorb these qualities herself so that she can set a good example in front of her students. Students always look upon their teachers as role models so it is necessary for them to change first.
The book has inspired me greatly. The qualities and values elaborated upon in the book can help us teachers in moulding our students in a way that makes them adept at facing challenges and obstacles in pursuit of success. This book has been a great learning experience for me and I am absolutely sure that this will make my students' life worth living.
I remember my student Akansha, who was a brilliant student. She was good in academics, acting, sports, drawing, etc. She was great in every field! After looking at her results, her parents thought of getting her promoted. This double promotion affected her a lot. As she had missed an entire year's coursework, she could not understand many of the concepts that were covered in her missed year. Due to this, she could not perform well. In Mathematics, she barely managed to pass in her First Term examination. This put her under pressure. She started keeping to herself, stopped eating her brunch, and started losing weight. At first, I couldn't understand why such a brilliant student had changed so much. I called her one day and tried to find the reason behind it. She burst into tears and narrated her story. At the time, I consoled her and sent her back. Later, I called her parents to school and made them realize their mistake of pressurizing their child. I made them see how the pressure of double promotion had led to this situation. I also made them understand that they need to let her set her own goals and avoid letting the pressure of competition get to their child. The parents promised not to pressurize their child anymore.
After that I called Akansha and told her to not worry about marks. I asked her to put in her best in the areas she felt she was confident and strong in. After some days she became her original self again. The same lively and ever-smiling child that she once was! Teachers need to guide, encourage and motivate their students so that they can overcome the challenges in life easily. -Bharti Rao/ Educator

Hard Work Leads To Success
The
book “Is Your Child Ready to Face the World?” by Dr. Anupam Sibal is one of the
best books, both for teachers and parents, to develop good qualities in a
child. If a child has good qualities then he will become a good person, and
thus a good citizen of the country. The book tells us how and why qualities
like honesty, courage, compassion, gratitude, forgiveness, etc. are necessary.
Additionally, it shows us ways in which we can develop these in our children.
Giving real life examples, instead of lectures, is a good way of inculcating
good qualities in a child as this leaves a lifelong impact on the child.
While
reading this book I recalled an incident. My relative's son Bhavesh was very
weak in studies. His father was very strict but his mother was very polite and
always supported her son, even when he was wrong. I was asked to teach him so
he could at least pass his examinations. So I began teaching him. At first,
Bhavesh gave me a hard time. He never did his homework and did not revise
anything for his tests. I was very polite initially, but then I became strict
as Bhavesh was a stubborn boy.
I
told him that if he does not complete the work given by me, he will have to do
20 sit-ups for every wrong or incomplete answer. Bhavesh found this very
difficult as he was overweight and ended up in tears every time he had to do
this exercise. His mother would come to support him but I made her understand
that I was doing it for the benefit of her son. I made Bhavesh realize that it
was better to work hard and learn his coursework than to do sit ups. He took my
advice and began taking interest in studies, learning his answers, and doing
his homework regularly. We both worked hard. He cleared his doubts and
practiced questions. In the end, he passed with good marks. His parents were
very happy as they had given up hope.
The
experience demonstrated that if one has great determination and is ready to
work hard, he will surely succeed in life. And sometimes, parents and teachers
need to be strict in the right measure to give the right direction to children. -Prerna Rathod/ Educator
