Bored Beyond Belief !!

Teachers lie at the core of any living society. They are important mediators of social change, social reconstruction and social rejuvenation. A teacher’s role is not only that of the leader of the children but of the guide to the entire community. Teachers being so vitally important for any society, the task of their preparation and education assumes equal importance.

Information and communication technology (ICT) has become, within a very short time, one of the basic building blocks of modern society. The incorporation of Information and Communication Technologies in education and training programmes has profound influence in teaching and teacher preparation. The student accesses knowledge and information through Internet, TV, satellite and cable network and digital media to synchronise learning mediated through these multiple delivery mechanisms.

Globalisation is a qualitatively new phenomenon of multi-dimensional nature posing a variety of complex trends in the economic, social and cultural fabrics of all societies. It impacts on all conceivable facets of life, including education. Consequently, education services are naturally commercialised, privatised and capitalised. Education can be seen wearing a new face-‘modernised’ for a knowledge economy based on information technologies. Its values, preferences and tastes have certainly become different due to globalisation.

It is evident that the dawn of the new age in India has been characterised by unimaginable advances in knowledge, triggering major changes in the objectives, contents, and methods of higher education. The globalisation of the economy and its accompanying demands on the workforce requires a different education that enhances the ability of learners to access, assess, adopt, and apply knowledge, to think independently to exercise appropriate judgement and to collaborate with others to make sense of new situations. The objective of education is no longer simply to convey a body of knowledge, but to teach how to learn, problem-solve and synthesise the old with the new.

I have completed three degrees, one bachelors and two masters, from Delhi University and I have got a taste of thier pathetic administration way too much.

Firstly, they dont work on saturdays, which effectively is an off for most people who are working. And ofcourse for them as well. So getting your work done on saturdays is a straight No-No, completely out of the question. Then on weekdays they are officially supposed to work till 5 pm.

Now for people like me who work, and need to get their work done at one of these north campus colleges, making it before 5pm is an agenda in itself, leave alone the concern and effect of distance involved on your pocket (petrol bill !!).

I just decided to give my mini reviews about the restaurants I visit frequently and their speciality to help others pick and choose places for eating out in delhi.

This time I went to Flavours.

Flavours is located right next to the Moolchand flyover near Defence Colony. It specialises in Italian food and I believe that their speciality is their special brick / clay oven that they use to bake amazing variety of Pizzzzaz.

Its very rare that people pay attention to little gestures that others extend. And those who do, can only appreciate its beauty.

The feeling that you get when you bring that special smile on others face through small acts of yours is unexplicable. The joy to see those eyes light up, the contentment for having made the other person feel special and worthy in your life and the act of showing that you care, leaves its mark for sure.

Feel blessed for contributing your bit in making a difference to someone’s life.

Its a great feeling. First the domain name, and now the server space. I own it all finally !!

I thank both the persons, one, who bought this domain name for me long back and the other, who hosted my site till recently.

And I dont want to thank the person who helped me buy this space and put the show back on, as I dont think it can ever suffice.

I am loving it….

Owing to technically-challenged skills of this friend of mine, this site is finally up, albeit slightly later than expected.

… cheers !!

Something that I wrote long back. Thought I should get rid of the baggage.

Sometimes it feels like there is a big void
that I need one more thing to complete my life
I thought that it was you
but then it dawned upon me
that your too good to be that thing
I deserve and will end up with
someone thats a piece of trash
something that is as low of a class as me
as bad as you say I am
as evil that you feel I am
I will meet a dog one day
for the bitch you said I am

Humari pehli mulakaat ka woh manzar
Bahar tumhe intezaar karta paana
mann ki har jhijak ko bhula
us pal mein doob jaana
Woh tumhara baat baat pe sharmaana
ankhon ke ek kone se mujhe dekh kar
meri bevakoofi par mand mand muskaana
mera woh zid karna
aur tumhara mere nakhro ko na samajh paana
Ek sutte ki mujhse ijazat mang
apni ada se mujhe ghayal kar jaana
Kya tumhe woh yaad nahi?

Today it so happenned that we were discussing about an event and I was looking forward for a detailed explanation about it. And what did I get in return …. an answer that left me in splits. And the best part being that the person on the other end didnt quite get my joke. I am sure if you read through this attachment, you would know what I meant. Enjoy
