Whether it should be mentioned in our report cards that we go to tuition classes or not?

Hello friends, tuition classes have become an integral part of our lives. Our daily schedule involves at least 1 hour of tuition classes . Unlike before when these classes were just meant for weaker strata of students , today it has become a trend, and this trend is only growing by time.Students have joined tuitions just because their friends have done so ,but the question is whether or not it should be mentioned in our report cards that we go to tuition classes or not?
In my opinion it should be because a student who is going to these classes has an edge over the ones who are not.Often it is observed that these students disturb the class and not let others study.Mentioning in the report cards whether a person goes to tuitions or not would help in 2 ways. Firstly,it would reduce this 'fashion' and secondly, it would make students more self-dependent which in turn would bring out their potential.

"At the end of the day it is the grasping abilities of the student which matters and not the fact whether he goes to tuitions or not" argues my tuition going friends. They further add that it also helps to supplement the income of teachers whose salary is low.
On the parting note i would like to conclude that although tuitions are great help to students who are weak in studies , following just because your friend is doing so is quite pointless.

A Must Read ..not written by me..

An Indian man walks into the New York City bank
and asks for the loan officer.
He tells the Loan Officer that he was going to India
for some business for 2 weeks and needs to borrow $5,000.

... The Loan Officer tells him that the bank will need
Some form of security for the loan.

So the Indian man hands over the keys and the documents of the new Ferrari car parked on the street in front of the bank.

The loan officer consults the president of the bank,
Produces all the required items and everything
check out to be OK.

The loan officer agrees to accept the car as a
security for the loan. The bank president and the Loan Officer had a
good laugh at the Indian

For keeping a $750,000 Ferrari as a security and
taking only $5,000 has a loan.

An employee of the bank then drives the Ferrari
Into the banks underground garage and parks it
there. Two weeks later the Indian returns and pays
$5000 and the interest which comes to it $15.41. Seeing this, loan officer says,

“Sir, we are very happy to have your business
And this transaction has worked out very nicely,
but we are a little puzzled.
While you are away, we checked you out and
Found out that you were a multi millionaire. What puzzled us was why would you bother to
borrow $5000?”

The Indian replies
"Where else in the New York City can I park my
car for 2 weeks and For only $15.41 and expect it to be there when I
return".

This is a true incident and the Indian is none other than... "VIJAY MALLYA"

FOR - RACHANA TEACHERS AND THEIR TEACHINGS

Whenever I think of character 'Teacher' , an image which comes to my mind is that of a person very simple, easily accessible and freely approachable but still leaving a certain grace and reserve in his/her walks or talks .A person with ever ready wit and keen sense of humor but with due care to not let it slip into the mere  funny 'hurt' statement .A person who is very knowledgeable but never pendatory . A person who could be trusted but never to be taken for granted , and most of all a very much students representative but without looking common , somehow carrying an inscrutable halo of some strange mystique.

In fact , these were some of the qualities of a timeless teacher ,the first vice-president and former president of India - Dr. Sarvpilli Radhakrishnan . He was the most respected, educated and the person who provided solace to the country in time of crisis.When some of his students and friends approached him and requested him to allow them to celebrate his birthday, he said, "instead of celebrating my birthday separately, it would be my proud privilege, if September 5th is observed as Teacher's day". From then onwards, the 5th of September has been observed as Teachers Day, in India.

For our part of bargain , we should always try to deliver our best in honesty,sincerity and discipline , we must always understand that it takes a deal of endeavor and to deliver lectures and manage a class of 45 students which our teachers accomplish. Ask all the people who are crowned with success and they will always tell you that behind them their is a hand of a great teacher.A person who has guided them , given them their instincts which they have trusted blind-folded all their life.

On a more personal note I would like to thank all the teachers of Rachana School for giving me such an exposure to education and wish them a VERY HAPPY TEACHERS DAY

TERRORISM , OIL AND ENVIRONMENT

Mr.Osama Bin Laden the person responsible for major terror attacks spoke to Vaibhav Maheshwari live from hell about terrorism,environment and petropolitics.

Vaibhav: How do you justify yourself on killing millions of innocent people?

Laden : Many Ways. Firstly, we wear the mask of religion to promote and justify terrorism . Secondly ,we hate the hippocratic manner of 'inscrutable americans' and wanna revenge them and all its allies(like india , although now it is more like a sandwich) and third and most importantly we want to create more and more fear among people , and terrorist attacks are the best way to accomplish it .

Vaibhav : How do you get all the resources to undertake the mission ?

Laden:As for the information it is freely available on the internet and the money required is provided by you . You are indeed funding both the oppositions..

Vaibhav : I don't get it.You are trying to say that i am funding you to kill myself !!?#$$%%!!?? Does that make sense at all ?

Laden : Yes it does, look you are paying for your oil .. right?Then you are funding me . The oil comes from arab countries , they earn from it . Now some part of this money is sent to 'our associations' by Muslim Missionaries , Oil Companies and individuals living their.You are also funding the government(taxes) to carry out anti-terrorist activities.

Vaibhav:Why 'Muslim Missionaries',' Oil Companies' and 'individuals living in arab countries' fund you?It's not charity exactly you are doing.

Laden:For Protection,'Vasoli' whatever u may like to call it ... I call it 'donation for a cause'.

Vaibhav:What are the means to stop u?

Laden: America thinks if they kill all the terrorists they would be able to stop us but they are wrong if u kill a terrorist , 10 more will be produced( in order to take revenge) . According to me a non-oil system of power usage or in another words pollution free technology for better environment and future of the world is the only solution to stop us.Look @ this equation --

Less consumption of oil = No money in arab countries = No money for us = No attacks   

Vaibhav: Is that why UN is conducting all these environment talks?We are stopping you aren't we??

Laden: Ha!!! are you kidding me , what happened at those UN Environmental summits was little like America ate the breakfast, lunch , dinner and dessert and then invited all the countries for a coffee and asked to share the bill ..Obviously the countries declined ,nothing is coming out of those meets.If anything is possible it is at grass-root levels.Common man like Anna Hazare should stand up to create mass movement about environment. 

Vaibhav: Last question sir , i am a student of class 10th Rachana School . Why I should i know all this ?

Laden : Because you need to decide what are you going to do?let us kill you or drive the environment free innovation in 21st century. Choice is yours to make. 

Do our parents give us enough freedom to make our own choices ??

In the early 2000's , the world went through a transition, it became flatter , smaller and smarter place to live in . Due to emergence of internet and steroid gadgets there was information flow like never before , this may have destroyed all other barriers but it created new barriers for people - the ones born into the bubble and the ones born before the bubble and in my opinion this is what has embarked upon the differences of opinion between us and our parents as they belonged to latter 'creed' of people.For Example go ahead and ask grandads-"Are your kids gonna be vegetarian ?" They would reply "Yes.." Ask the GEN Y the same question then they would rather reply "nah!! we going to eat KFC".
They have their notions based on their experiences and we have ours based on our experiences.Their experience truly more than that of ours but a good decision not just needs an experience(yes! it helps) , it needs precision and innovation.
According to me freedom to make your own choices cannot be given or gifted it is owned by the student itself . If the student is well aware of the world around him , and knows how much time to sit on facebook or how much junk food he/she should eat or knows what career options he's gonna take I don't think parents should interfere in our decisions based upon our perspective of life , I am lucky enough have to such parents who let me take my chances in my life and I respect my parents for that , at the same time we should always know where to make our boundaries if we don't do that then I believe our parents have right to intervene in choice we choose for ourselves .
Even though these generations has wide set of  opinions , collaboration should be maintained to keep argument and scuffles at bay . There should be an agenda of co-operation on common interests, mutual needs and shared responsibilities , which both parents and their wards should understand .

Yeah.. I know surprise ending!! :P
 Hope u liked this piece of graffiti .... will be writing more
