World Book and Copyright Day (WBCD) to be observed on April 23

Image
  The UN announced and UNESCO organized World Book and Copyright Day (WBCD) on April 23 every year to encourage reading, publishing, and copyright awareness worldwide. This day was established in 1995 to honor the death anniversaries of literary greats William Shakespeare, Miguel de Cervantes, and Inca Garcilaso de la Vega. The event aims to promote appreciation for books, authors, and intellectual property. The goal of WBCD is to inspire everyone, particularly young people, to enjoy reading and to recognize the invaluable contributions of creators to social and cultural development. It reminds us that books connect us to knowledge, empathy, and cultural understanding. The initiative was suggested by the Spanish government and accepted by UNESCO in 1995. Today, WBCD is celebrated in over a hundred countries and features workshops, storytelling sessions, and literary events.

Educate for Sustainability with Harmony

  Educate for Sustainability with Harmony   A gentle shield, education's light, Protects our Earth from harm, a steady hand. It opens eyes to what is wrong and right, And helps us know we all in trust must stand.   Our needs and nature's call, a tangled thread, And clever tools that serve our growing age, Must learn to weave, though wisdom must be spread, To turn a kind and cooperative page.   With values pure, and care for what we hold, And seeds of new ideas we bravely sow, Our future bright, a story to be told, Where schools can help sustainable futures grow.   So let us learn, and teach with all our might, To guard Mother Earth 'n make its future bright.

Need to develop creativity and creative thinking in schools: Special on World Creativitty and Innovation Day, April 21

Image
  Need to develop creativity and creative thinking in schools Creativity refers to the capacity to produce new and valuable ideas, turning imagination into reality. In contrast, creative thinking is the cognitive process—the "how"—that facilitates the development of these insights. This process requires looking beyond traditional limits, welcoming various viewpoints, and linking seemingly unrelated ideas to tackle complex issues. Instead of being an inherent talent, creative thinking is a skill that can be cultivated through divergent thinking, experimentation, and curiosity. It fuels innovation by combining imaginative concepts with practical execution, making it an essential and high-value skill for personal growth, organizational advancement, and addressing the changing challenges of society.

  LONGING LOVE AND SURRENDER: A POEM INSPIRED BY BHAKTI POET SURDAS The Longing Love and Surrender Path to Liberation is a poem inspired by Sur Sagar by Sant Surdas on the Occasion of his Jayanti in 2026 (see inset visual) POEM: LONGING LOVE AND SURRENDER No temple bells nor sacred script required, Nor clever words of academic lore, By Prem Bhakti is the heart inspired, To knock upon the deep, eternal door. No caste restricts the path to Shyam’s own side, A simple love is all He asks to see, With soul surrendered and all earthly pride Dispelled, to find Him in complete unity. A detached longing, passionate and sweet, With world and ego rendered fully still, ‘I offer all at Madhava’s lotus feet, And lose myself within His holy will.’ No formal rite can bring the bliss I prove, Than drowning in the nectar of His love. Note: The poem is Google AI-enhanced with prompts after reading a  part of Sur Sagar as an attempt to gain insights into prompt engineering and context engineering...

  Revive Self-Sustaining Eco-System To Thrive: A Poem,  Special on Mother Earth Day Our world depends on every living thread, From deep green woods to oceans’ coral bed. To keep the pulse of life within our hand, We must restore and heal our weary land. Wake up, dear ones, before it's late, Change your ways, before an ill fate From hearts and hands, a loving deed, For Mother Earth, in her great need. When ecosystems thrive, the earth blooms green, A balanced world, both healthy and serene. With cleaner air and water, spirits rise, Joy blooms in nature’s happy, peaceful skies.
