He spends his entire pocket money on buying gifts for the lady he loves just to see her smiling He sacrifices his full youth for his wife and children by working late at night without any complaint. He builds their future by taking loans from banks and repaying them for a lifetime. He struggles a lot and still has to bear scolding from his mother, wife, and boss. His life finally ends up only by compromising for others' happiness.   If he goes out, then he's careless  If he stays at home, then he's a lazy If he scolds children, then he's a monster  If he doesn't scold, then he's an irresponsible guy If he stops wife from working, then he's an insecure guy If he doesn't stop wife from working, then he's somebody who lives on wife's earn...

Happiness and Tolerance Students always have the tendency to grasp things in different ways which may not always be what we would like to portray to them. As teachers, we are expected to maintain a balance between students’ happiness as well as class discipline. Happiness and Tolerance are like two sides of the same coin where the students as well as the teachers may face difficulty in applying them in their every-day lives. A classroom incident to which we as teachers or reminiscing our school days may relate to is given in the following short story.

  Honesty And Respect Honesty and respect are like two pillars of a strong relationship. What were to happen if lying was the norm? There would be no trust among people. Patients would not be able to trust their doctors, passengers would not be able to trust their drivers, a child would not feel the same trust and security towards his/her parents and no two individuals would be able to build a beautiful relationship if honesty and respect do not form their foundation. Honesty means believing in oneself and everything that one represents, however, dishonesty may mislead us from our beliefs and values. Life continues to teach us lessons in every twist and turn of this journey that we embark on, it may be trivial incidents or moments in our lives that somehow go unnoticed but they always have a way to show us the right path. Such an incident taught four college friends about the importance of earning respect through honesty. Riya, Anu, Sweta, and Pari were a tightly knit team ...

He was on his way home from the jewelry shop when he decided to take the shorter route home crossing the paddy fields. The thought of his mother’s reaction overwhelmed Raghu, he once again took out the necklace to admire its beauty. The necklace shone in the sunlight, it sparkled and this blinding light reflected by the necklace made Raghu lose his balance. He dropped flat on the field.

He looked around in vain and finally he noticed a sparkle coming from one of the ditches in the field.
