‘Gold Nuggets’ are hard to find! -Sukanya Singh “True friends are truly life’s treasures. Sometimes they know us better than we know our self. With gentle honesty, they are there to guide and support us, to share our laughter and our tears. Their presence reminds us that we are never really alone.” – Vincent Van Gogh   True friends are really god-gifted. These precious ones are not so easy to find. 'Lucky' are those, who have found their true friends in their life. They are the 'fortunate ones', who got someone so close after their families. It is a blessing for a life time. There might not be any blood relation in between, but these are those angels, that directly connect to your heart and mind. A true friend is 'not less than a family'. They are the gold nuggets, who take your sufferings, as ‘their sufferings’. They are the ones who get excited to see you happy. When you are alone and far away from your family, these rare ones are your...

Must read on ‘The Self Publicist’ -Sukanya Singh We live in a society. It is full of different people, different culture, attitude, language and a vast diversified ways of living. There we notice, some people wear a mask of a different kind of pride for their family resources and keeps on flaunting them before the members of the society. To dwell in a society smoothly, a person must think about others also. They should try to think about their likes and dislikes too, for example –If your neighbour is preparing for exams, you should not play loud music because it might disturb them. Again people should at least try to speak in a polite way and not sprinkle their negative behaviour everywhere they go. Everyone is equal. No one has the right to taunt or criticise one by considering the family backgrounds, wealth and so on. There are some people of the population who play a very negative role in the society. Such people destroy the peace and harmony of others as w...

Are you sound in delivering ‘WORDS’? -Sukanya Singh Let us talk about some manners today! Communication is a very essential element into one’s life. Just like food, shelter, education, job; proper communication with one another is also very necessary to lead a happy and peaceful life. Without communication one’s life is wholly incomplete. It is an aspect which is used in every day, either verbally or non verbally. Your way of communicating with someone is the ‘gateway to your personality’. Your way of interacting with people can put a positive as well as negative impression in front of others. When one is introduced before someone or a society, the very important thing one must know is ‘how to talk’. It is the very first element that one get access to before anything else. It is said that ‘first impression is the last impression’ and communication is the one with the help of which one creates an impression first. Let it be with a Hi! With a Hello! With a smile! With a hug! Wi...

Is it going right? -Sukanya Singh “A teacher plants the seeds of knowledge, sprinkle them with love and patiently nurtures their growth to produce tomorrow’s dreams.” A teacher is referred to as the second parent. They are the ones, who mould the future of a child. Without a teacher, it is very difficult or next to impossible to grow one’s knowledge, right from the very kindergarten stage. A teacher is that one special person after parents, who contributes most of their time and effort to shape an individual with knowledge, various skills, creativity, positivity and helps in building a better and brighter future for them. A ‘teacher-student relationship’ is a very pure form of relation. It is that sweet configuration of connection where one is incomplete without the other and vice versa. A student would not be a student without a teacher and a teacher would not be a teacher without a student. In early days, the teacher-student relationship was of high value and respe...
