When I use the term education, I tend to define it within certain parameters. This way I keep my discussion on this vast subject limited and focused. Hopefully clear too. So here goes.. Education can become a universal concept, only when it is accepted as an empowering tool universally. For eg I stay in a rural part of India, where the education isnt considered to be so important especially because many of the parents are either farmers or poorly educated. They havent seen education bring any value-addition to their lives, as such. So in such a scenario, how can we sell education as an empowering tool? First, show education in the light of its usefulness....preferably in everyday life. For e.g. if a kid were to go to a shop, and tell the shop-owner what its mother has told him to get...4 packets of CCC shampoo. If the shampoo costs 2 rs. per packet, how much would the kid have to pay for 4? It needs to use multiplication and deduce that the order costs 8 Rs. There....that's...
NAMASTE, While I was searching for Subhashitas on the net, I came across this wonderful blog.....I am giving one of the posts of that blog and also the link to it. अन्नदाता भयत्राता, यस्य कन्या विवाहिता । जनिता चोपनेता च, पञ्चैते पितरः स्मृताः ॥ कन्यादातान्नदाता च ज्ञानदाताभयप्रदः । जन्मदो मन्त्रदो ज्येष्ठभ्राता च पितरः स्मृतः ॥ The roles and duties of a father Beautifully Explained : A Must read http://blog.practicalsanskrit.com/2010/06/dear-father-thank-you.html This Sloka tells us how many father figures we may be fortunate to come across in our life.

Sorry....It has been a long time since we posted an article here. We will try to keep up....And thanks for your well wishes. Today, let us see the usage of 2 prepositions 'for' and 'of'. We must use 'for' : when we describe the reason for which we do something;when we give an example; when we indicate a sense of owning. E.g. 1) I bunked the classes for watching my favourite hero's movie. 2) Sree Rama is a good example for an ideal son. 3) This call is recorded for quality purposes only. 4) This car is booked for the Wadiyar family. But wait. Example 2 can also be rewritten using 'of' ! 5) Sree Rama is an example of an ideal son. So its important to know when we can use 'of'. If we want to highlight what is on the left hand side of the preposition then we must use 'for'. On the contrary, if the Right Hand Side is more important, use 'of' (Like in the example No. 5). Is it clear? Now, 'of' can als...
