Construct of an Educator

You are your own identity.

The answer to the battle between why and why not is Love.

In our journey of life, we are all finding

Bring me away

Living each day as it goes
yet can't help thinking about 
my future 

Just like everyone,
I wonder what I will be 

And the many great things to happen.

Far Away

You seem to be
on the other side of the world
where it's hard to be
in touch with your world

Why?
I keep asking
You're not the one
I was wishing to end up with
Yet you seem to be
there those times

How?
I keep blaming
You're a coward
I hope to be in your soul
So I can reach you
next birth

You seem to be
mine
I miss you.

Isn't it funny?
I didn't expect or desire anyone and yet I feel the regret.
Before I reach my grave, I wish to let you go.
How hard can it be.
I made peace with my past after a decade.

SuperHero

Remember how Superhero stories go...

Hero is a normal person living his daily routine life. He faces the same kinda problems in school, at work and in relationships. In between this, suddenly the world demands his help. He unmasks himself to get into the disguise of his reality. At the end of the day, the day is saved by the Superhero.

I was on school trip with my pupils. On the second day, I wore a T-shirt which had the Superman logo on it and I put on a sweater to protect myself from the heat and mosquitoes. We were on a normal bus ride and then walking through the village. Halfway, one of my pupils fell really ill with a temperature of 40 degrees. She was refusing to take her medicine. Now, that's the only remedy we had to rescue the situation until we reached hometown. Long story short, I got the girl to take her medicine.

Every traveller has a distance lesson covered. My lesson here was this:

Why I wanted to be a teacher? Now that I am able to verbalize my mind and its way of thinking.

A strong urge to give something back to the society and to be a great leader. These innate quality had brought my vision to life. Growing up, I had many teachers inspiring me. It registered in my long-term memory that the way to lead and impact on a person's life is to enter their life as a teacher. Being an education officer is limited to the school community. But being a Teacher is superior to every other occupation. It's a Superhero thing.

Compo Writing





For LP: testing for setting, character, tenses
I heard voices along the 
corridor. Who could they be? Mr Tan and his family were away on a holiday. shocked. To my horror, I saw two scary burglars prying my neighbour's window open!




MP: use of descriptive language
Burglars! shivering like a leaf! I must inform my parents immediately. Though I was horrified, I tiptoed to the room and rushed my parents. I told softly as I did not want the burglars to know they were discovered. “Quick, Dad! Call the police!”

HP: writing a creative ending
My parents called the police. The burglars tried to escape but were caught by the police.I felt proud of myself. The police complimented me.

7 March

My heartfelt thanks to the Grab Uncle - the Krishna of my chariot

My Reflection on our Divine conversation

Working and studying is really good. He never spoke about the monetary benefits. Instead he said,
- “occupying our mind keeps it active”

Idle mind is an open door to evil. The mind starts attracting negative things naturally over time.

- “law of attraction is the key”

The mind has multiple intelligence but it is all nothing if there is no repetition. (I would call it consistency.) A positive person sees through positive things and vice versa to negative person. 

- "sadhana"

Asking him is like doubting your faith in him. Instead, ask him to guide you through the phase any phase he has destined for u. Going against wills only results in a lot of damage control.

- “god only needs your gratitude or be thankful to god”

But what we differed in thoughts was: You have to find the man yourself. He will not give you one.
Hmmm... Then how? I thought I will seek him and he will seek me?


Friends

Everything happens for a reason
What u went through was unfair
But you didn’t trust that you needed me by your side
That’s love
Which you couldn’t give as much as you took

We don’t have to apologise or regret anything
It’s a phase 
God made it happen
And he is making this happen too
I forgot everything already
and who are we to forgive
when it's the game of God

Just looks like a new relationship 
And I’m not keen in having one

There’s no room for anyone
I have a family of 4
and 2 best friends
I am contended
I have space for someone
to share my life with

Of course,
Love will always win
I'm for it 
Things will fall in place
Eventually
But I’m not gonna put in effort 
I’m tired to make a mistake more than once
and no regrets
I did it willingly
- Love make you go beyond

But that's all I can give you this lifetime.

Nothing is Permanent

Life's biggest lesson - Detachment

Nothing was mine 
when I came 
Nothing shall be mine
when I go

No happiness
No sadness
Just breathe

No people
No materials 
Just blood 

The people who welcomed me into this Earth
may not even be around when I leave

The people who I welcomed in my life
will not need me when I am gone

Just like today

On a Friday after photography lesson

Today I saw him
Standing there 
right in front of me 
I was dumbfounded 
answering him 
Without a voice

I could see his eyes 
That’s all focus
And the whole world 
Was blurred 
Like an illusion 
I spoke about 
To my pupils
A couple of hours before

My eyes had captured that illusion of the eyes that met back with me. Many memories flashed  in shutter speed within my head.

The day he hid his cigarette 
The days I couldn’t leave after saying bye
The days I couldn’t wait to get another chance to see him
The days I was opposite him 
Near but far 


Just like today...

Death

The voices in my head after the news on the death of Veteran Actress Sridevi...

The first thing in the morning, I woke up with a shock, yes. But the social media was flooded with images and notes about her. It was quite overwhelming.

A comment I had heard the night before, "we should stop glorifying porn stars." I said, "we shouldn't be glorifying celebrities or in fact anyone." As claimed by the opposer, "there's only two purposes in lilfe, power (money) and making a change." I totally agree with you pal. Like Lizzie, I danced uncontrollably (in my mind), for someone was going on about the same sentiments and was explaining it so well. However, got to stop dancing and put my hands right out, "Money in the right hands is Power" and "Making a Change starts small"

Today, watching these videos

Death is the only thing we were sure about when we were born. Some may die because of our man made action and some may die with nature. But they all never leave a notice, they don't have to. Nobody owes anyone a living. We die solo. I always believe their job is done and their karma has been served. They are at a better place right now. Somewhere I want to be, close to God. I've always felt that I am happy to die right now, take me. Until these lines came along, "You're selfish."

Fallacies

Starbucks has coffee.
I need coffee Everyday.
Therefore, I need Starbucks coffee Everyday.

Truth is,
I need to get a drink because I am dehydrating. 
There were no shops near or far, only Starbucks.
So had to spend that money to get something there, coffee why not? 

Is it true the standard of living is getting higher? Then how are children able to possess an expensive smartphone or students able to study at expensive outlets while indulging? 

Does it mean if Coffeeshop uncles don’t shoo away students, they will sit down to study there? 
Supply and demand. 

Want is a need and need is a want 
Education no longer seems for the young

Today I write...

There were many inspirations which fell short.
Nevertheless,
come what may. 

leaving this key presses as a legacy
