Be Your Own Teacher, Be Your Own Student

Image
Lalit Shastri In the silence of the morning, when the world's still, Find the courage deep within, harness your will. You hold the wisdom, a guide to your path, Be your own teacher, embrace your craft. Learn from each stumble, rise with each fall, In every failure, there’s a lesson, standing tall. Challenge your limits, push through the strain, Be your own student, cherish the gain. The journey is endless, the horizon so wide, With every step forward, take it in stride. Listen to your heart, let it show you the way, Be your own teacher, each and every day. Reflect on your progress, celebrate what’s small, For in self-guided growth, you’ll stand tall. Both mentor and learner, in harmony blend, Be your own student, until the end. In every question, in every quest, You find the answers, within your chest. Trust in your journey, let wisdom unfold, Be your own teacher, be brave, be bold.

Traffic Police looks the other way while the reckless drivers continu to jeopardize lives on our roads

Lalit Shastri When will the law be enforced in Madhya Pradesh to save the commoners from the menace of unauthorised and reckless use of hooters on roads. Also the immunity with which many four wheelers are being driven with high-beam headlights and nothing is being done to control this problem either by the traffic police or any citizens' forum that claims to spread road safety awareness. Another problem is two-wheelers, e-rickshaws, autos and loaders, invariably being driven with the blinding halogen headlights . The use of high-beam is regulated by the Central Motor Vehicles Rules, 1989. The rules clearly spell out the dos and don'ts of using high-beam headlights in India - High-beam headlights should only be used when driving on a dark or poorly lit road and if no other vehicles are approaching. I have observed much to my discomfiture and frustration that the drivers, most often than not those driving government vehicles (with their bosses seated behind) or the spoilt bra...

Society leaders come down heavily on a news item

  Media Watch How the right thinking Indians and society leaders have reacted to a news item published by Times of India "Panchsheel, theoretically was rooted to an idealistic plane but was entirely disconnected with ground reality...expansionist China under Xi has no face to talk of Panchsheel..." "They stabbed Nehru and now they praise his policy." "Same forked tongue in an attempt to get our guard down again. But the Narendra Modi-Amit Shah-S Jaishankar triumvirate is not biting. Wonder why TOI even ran this.   "Bet Indian National Congress will go to town with this and push for better relations with peoples Republic of China - traitors all." "These media morons, who lack even basic appreciation of national interest, security, global politics and enemy's strategy, should be exposed in larger national interest."

Save our Country, Save our Planet

  Lalit Shastri Watch this video. It is ultimate warning for all... It's a matter of survival of the human species that would be on the verge of extinction if we don't mend our ways. Hats off to this gentleman for his devotion and commitment to the larger cause of successive generations. His message to politicians and law makers is loud and clear. Citizens' responsibility..."each one plant one" is fine. For the gullible and less informed, it could be a solution but for me the slogan is only a mirage...solution won't come from the deprived millions still living in abject poverty but those empowered by the society. They will have to act now. I would like to caution everybody against big talk and diversionary tactics that's become the norm. Unless those entrusted with the responsibility and job of enforcement, those who make policies and are supposed to implement them, all those who enjoy the protection of the Constitution and progressively expanding perks of...

Celebrating World Bee Day: Contemplating Nature's Web of Life

Image
In the grand design of the universe, Earth stands as a unique masterpiece, teeming with life in its most intricate forms. This planet was designed with an ethos of interdependence and coexistence, offering humanity a bountiful and harmonious environment to thrive in. This exquisite ecosystem was intended to be a perpetual gift, contingent on humanity's respect for Nature's balance. Regrettably, humanity's quest for dominance has disrupted this delicate equilibrium. Motivated by greed and self-interest, humans have altered their surroundings, triggering rapid environmental changes that have propelled us towards a global crisis. In the creation of the bees, a perfect companion was made in flowers, resulting in the sweet nectar we cherish. Similarly, the survival of plants is deeply interconnected with insects, birds, and animals. All these life forms, thriving under the sun, benefit from a carefully orchestrated cycle of seasons and the intricate process of regeneration. The ...

A tweet that exposes the dark side of Indian Administrative Service

Geromic George, IAS, the DC of Thiruvananthapuram, had a toenail infection. He called the District Medical Officer and asked for treatment at his residence. An assistant surgeon from the General Hospital left his 200+ OPD and went to attend to the DC's 'emergency,' where he had to wait for half an hour before he could attend to the honorable DC, as the latter was busy. Do not miss the trailing comments on this incisive tweet....to feel the pulse of the people
