School Lessons-The Invisible Ones!

No way! This is not about those annoying how to get a perfect grade in school thingy,because you DON'T need a perfect grade! And this is definitely not one of those annoying tips to have a perfect school life, because imperfect is the PERFECT experience! This is a lecture! well sit if you like, the door is always open for those who are not interested in sitting in my class!

So class today I am here to give you a lesson on the Invisible lessons you learn in school. I am damn sure you are all fed up with the visible ones , the annoying periodic tables, boring facts and figures and those carbon compounds, ya I know it makes your head spin! But these invisible ones, don't worry they are not boring, won't put you to sleep and you definitely don't have to mug up any of it ! oh you want to know why? Because you won't even know you learnt something! It hits you like a tornado but still you won't come to know! That is why they are called invisible!! Ya now that I got your interest let me explain.


You actually learn at least one such lesson a day in school and these continue throughout your life!! So what are these lessons?? These are lessons for life! We can't define them in a specific set of words. But you can explain it with a few examples; when you doodle in your text while passing notes to your friend WHILE listening to a lecture WHILE thinking of a 100 things at once- you learn how to do multitasks at once! But that is just my fun way of making you understand what Invisible lessons are.

The best of these lessons come from co-curricular activities! A throw ball match teaches you how to make strategy, proper planning, how our practice actually works, how a cheering crowd actually improves your performance and of course there is always team work! lets take a debate, another example, you actually learn presence of mind, quick thinking , how to ponder into various dimensions of a topic and even maybe come up with points that no one ever thought of!! You see, invisible lessons!!


There are so many such invisible lessons we get from school and more in college ,but the ones we learn from school actually can form a foundation to who we are and what we become in life! So my dear students, make sure you get these lessons. How? By taking part in every activity possible! By being an active member in your class even if your friends tease you about it! because in the long run, you are going to get tons of these lessons! And these lessons will get the best out of you!
Trust me, been there, had these lessons and I am rocking it!!

"I Vs Eye"; An Eye opening Interview with Professor Habeeb C

Image
'Do I see darkness in my eyes? Do you see in yours? Darkness hasn't woven our lives together. Dreams. Its only Dreams that can make anyone's eyes clearer, giving the ability to see'  The above excerpt is taken from 'Music in Light' was part of many other essays, short stories, poems, interviews and memoirs that created history on 20th January 2015. An eye-opening anthology was released by the Centre for Advanced Studies and Research in English Language and Literature, Farook College, Kozhikode which is the start to the end of the many blind stereotypes we have about the visually impaired. Dance along with the rhythm of these poems, ponder on the theories and academic essays that sparks a new light, smile at how Sudheer explains how 'being blind can be fun too', relax in the short stories and play and question yourself along with the interviews. All in all, 'I vs Eye, an anthology of the visually impaired' will make you see like never before i...

Unity Yet Diversity: Documentry with a Diversity

Image
The phrase "Unity in Diversity" is often used with much pride by almost every Indian in every speech ever made since school days. Its been in the text books, in tourist guides, in the media everywhere. But somehow "India is the most racially discriminating country" as the documentary "Unity Yet Diversity" (UYD) puts it. And when you come to think of it , it is. We discriminate each other not only bu the color, religion and caste of a person but also by their language and region. How many movies have we watched that made fun of  "dosa-eating dark Madrasis", the Bombay goons from the slum, the  alcoholic Punjabi spendthrifts? We may be the top in the world for making fun or discriminating our own countrymen in this world. But there are a set of people from the place we proudly call "the seven sisters" in our geography book that undergo the worst stereotypes and discrimination- The people from the North East. These Indians are not eve...

The UNchanging Concept of women in "Homes"

A boy cleaning in the kitchen- " Oh what a sweet and charming boy" " A boy helping out in the kitchen" " OH it's okay dear we will manage you don't have tp help" A girl cleaning- "oh you missed a spot there" "when will you learn to do this properly?" " there is another dish in the sink" . . . . . . . true story! WE are the modern lot ! Oh yes we now have a broader outlook about things! We respect women. They can go out and work. No really we respect that as long as they are in the teaching or nursing profeesion and have time to produce babies, cook and clean. Oh and they should'nt stay out night too while we are at it!  Wow so much for that !  let us face it! There has'nt been much of a change in this society's concept of what a women is and should be.   Looking at magazines exclusively for women and t.v programmes for "US" clearly prooves that fact. An article abo...
