When to use the prepositions 'for' and 'of'?

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

Sukhe dukhe same kritvaa.......

सुख दुखे समे कृत्वा लाभालाभौ जयाजयौ | ततो युद्धाय युज्यस्व नैवम् पापमवाप्स्यसि || This is a verse from Bhagavad-Gita. It was transmitted to Arjuna from ShriKrishna when Arjuna was haunted by duality - between siding with his brother to fight for right, and having to face and possibly slay his teachers and revered elders.   Here the Lord says, "If you were to fight in the war, just like you are supposed to take pleasure and pain, loss and gain, victory and defeat equally, then you would not gain any sin". My 2 words: "If we were to feel comfortable in the multiple highs and lows of our life, then we too would not be lured into committing more mistakes". Let's meet again!

My Views on Education

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
