As One Journey Ends, Another Begins

Life is a circle, the end of one journey is the beginning of the next - Joseph M. Marshal II

I was studying in grade 7. That year I did not have pressure of scoring marks or studying. We had selections for football team that year. I and my friends went for it as always. I had played for my school twice. We were looking good that day. We scored, got appreciated too!
After few weeks, the list of players was released. We were surprised as we were not selected; three students had replaced us. We did not want to argue. Our school was participating in that tournament in Mysore. All my friends got disappointed and sad. One of them cried and I also had tears in my eyes. Finally, our school chose the squad and left for Mysore. We were sitting in our classrooms hoping that we would get selected one day. Our school lost that tournament.
In the next academic year, selections were opened again. This time we were selected. Although I did not get enough time to play, but I was there! This time we worked out on our skills and tried to improve our focus. We fought hard in this tournament and reached quarterfinals. Unfortunately, we could not win it.
In a nutshell, it is hard when you are not selected or rejected, but learning from that makes you even more special. Moving on from what had happened makes you a better person because remember – whatever happens, happens for good!

The role of friends in life

-
Rishabh Ranjan As we all know, friends are people who like to spend time with you, chat with you, and have fun. But, sometimes we just want to listen to ourselves and not to our friends. This results in arguments and many fights. We all need to know how important they are in life. Fight for you. Friends always hate when someone says bad things about you or hurts you. You also hate it when something happens to your friends. We all value our friends. Respect you. A true friend always lets you share your thoughts. They always want to know if you are well. They always like to play with you, whether it be sports on a sunny day or video on a rainy day. Ideal situation or bad, always stay together. We know that the current situation is a time of unity. Only real friends would like to still give you as much as they used to give. Enjoy their time with you. All friends have fun with you. They can relate to you, help you and love it! New friends or old, they treat you the same. A lot of peopl...

Vigyan Chakrabarti Interview with Jayshree dadi  What job did you do and why did you choose it? I had already taught my own children and I shifted to kindergarten teaching because I loved it What kind of relation did you have with your students and how did you deal with difficulty with concepts and exams? I used to teach LKG and since the children were just leaving the security of there parents I had to make them feel comfortable. Just because they were LKG children I could not take them lightly and that's why I used to go completely prepared about what concepts I was going to teach and what activities I wanted to conduct. Since they were small children it was difficult to get there attention therefore I had to dramatize the concepts as much as possible. We had been given a special training for that. Did you have any idea about what job you were going to do and did you have any childish thoughts about what job you were going to do? I was a housewife and I took up teaching because m...
