LEARNING IS LIFE

Demean and under-estimate not teachers and students : A Poem A screen, a board, a voice so clear, No teacher's worth is naught, my dear. Not a broken shell, not even dust, Their knowledge shared, a sacred trust. Though wealth may boast and power loom, Gen-Z students can break the gloom. With teaching's light, a guiding hand, Together strong, they take command. The tables turn, the balance shifts, With wisdom's power, priceless gifts. No teacher's worth is ever gone, Their legacy forever strong.

  Phooti Kaudi Spat: Limericks A teacher, though online or not, Is worth more than a farthing, I've got. With students so keen, They can change the whole scene, And topple the arrogant lot   A teacher, though screens or in halls, Is worth more than 'phooti kaudi' squalls With minds intertwined, They'll leave gold chains behind, 'Phooti Kaudi Party' can topple tall walls

 The International Day for Protection of Children is observed globally every year on June 1 since 1949.  The observance serves as an urgent reminder to protect children's fundamental rights, secure their access to education, and eliminate threats like child labour, trafficking, and violence. Child protection: A poem Little hands, so soft and new, Need our care, in all they do. A child's trust, a fragile thing, Love and safety, we must bring. No one should take their joy away, Or make them fear another day. Every child, a precious light, Deserves to sleep at peaceful night. So let us stand, with hearts so true, For every child, me and you. To keep them safe, and help them grow, It's our shared promise, to let them know. Their future bright, a hopeful sign, The duty to protect, is truly mine.

End Social Bias and Inequity: Couplets   A world divided, unfair and bleak, Where one is valued, the other weak. Roles assigned by birth, a cruel decree, Limiting lives for all to see. Some doors are locked, some paths are barred, By gender's shade, a life is marred. Favoritism reigns, a heavy hand, Denying worth across the land. Status and chances, unequally sown, A gender imbalance, widely known. But change we seek, a brighter aim, To burn this unfair system's flame. A vision clear, a future sought, Where equal measure is dearly bought. Our purpose stated, strong and true, A world for all, in all we do. This is our goal, our destined space, Equality's dawn, with honest grace.

 Lifeless matter and life or consciousness co-exist eternally: A poem   The universe, a dance of light and thought, Where energy and awareness intertwine. From dense-packed matter, energy is wrought, As physics hints at truths that now align. In varied forms, this energy takes hold, And matter speaks its energetic phrase. If consciousness, a story to be told, Began with all, in ancient cosmic haze. Then thought and feeling, love and memory’s art, The sense of ‘I,’ and ‘cosmos’ vast design, Were present from the universe’s start, As lifeless dust and life forever shine. They co-exist, a timeless, unified, Eternal stream, where all things are allied.

Equanimity amid dualities creates blissful life: A poem inspired by the Gita’s life lesson   Life flows a river, ever changing its tide, With joy and sorrow, ebb and then the swell. Kind words like sunbeams, sharp ones softly hide, Each passing moment, stories it does tell.   Let not the highs lift up your spirit's flight, Nor low's dark shadow dim your inner light. Embrace them both, with steady, equal gaze, As moments born to fleeting, passing days.   With steady mind, a balanced inner sight, We walk the path of duty, clear and true. Then skill in work and peace burn ever bright, A tranquil spirit, seeing all things through.   So, find the calm in all that life may send, And inner peace shall be your truest friend.
