It was during my first day of the session while introducing the semester plan, and after that, I ask students to answer two questions in a piece of paper, “What is your understanding of term research?’ and ‘their expectation from this modules RES101?’ I…

Random thought: April 16, 2021
I heard enthusiastic news. I wish I am one of to influence a decision then. If that is true I would definitely accept it. That is what everyone is looking for. Is it really worrying/concerning? I wish if I could postulate such a position. An understanding of such an allegation is questionable. Who never knew someone is working and investing time and energy for self-grow only. All people are not…
The time has arrived to rethink within
I thought I am doing good work. But still, I could sense lots of improvement needs to be done instantly. If I wait for few years, it is going to be late forever. Most significantly, some of the improvements that I need to highlight and resolve are time management, listening, speaking, reading, leadership understanding, and accepting mistakes. Many argue that time management is a skill to improve. It all depends…
The title dies not stay with us
There is no everlasting peace and happiness, there is no everlasting title,post, There is no ever lasting wealth, Your name and fame will disappear in no time. Remember we are in the samsara. We are no different from actors and actresses in the movie. Our role in the movie will be over anytime. Just be nice and stay down to earth. The Buddha’s final words express this: Impermanence is inescapable.…

Tiring schedule, tiring life
Every day I travel to and fro. Every time I am busy with work. I travel every morning to the office and every evening to home. Every morning and evening I have a schedule for prayer. That lasts for a minimum of 30 minutes to a maximum of 2 hours. My schedule is continuous for a day. By the end of the day, I felt tired and restless. But nobody…
My service is free of charge
What stimulates me to do self-introspection? I always think a person without a mistake is nowhere. Self-introspection is a must for an individual. It is true. We learn through mistakes. I have a couple of reasons why I have to be vigilant. Most of the time I do work continuously and should respond with utmost dedication. So in the meantime and in the process, not only mistakes may over-step in…
Beat the clock to achieve one’s vision
We are aware of old rhyme regards to the time that says, ‘time and tide waits for none’. Still, then pupils are not against the clock. And they complain time is not enough for them to complete an assignment, presentation, debate, project work, and so on. When there are free, pupils waste leisure time. No, productive work was done. They think everything can be done at a time as if…
