Career Guidance

Posted by cls On January - 18 - 2009

In modern world, there are a number of options open for children who finish with their schooling, and also for those who wish to pursue something else at a later point in their life. But with a tremendous growth in career options, there has been a tremendous growth in competition too. Second chances are hard to come by. hence, people try to get it right in first shot, otherwise, it becomes harder to cover up , if one decides to take up something else later.

Therefore one should try to stick to one thing and should consider the job in which he or she is interested and not that his or her friends are interested in. Changing streams later is not a good option, even though it has to be done, if it has to be done.

Both parents and their children seem to be confused. Actually, there is a conflict of interest. Even though in today’s world , parents are being open minded and exploring more and more options, majority is still suffering from the same problem, and that is, “One day my child will become a doctor, an engineer, a scientist, or a lawyer”. Majority of parents follow this rule, not realizing that their children cannot if they cannot. Its not everybody’s cup of tea to pursue one of these professions if they cant.

Also, in today’s world, studies are not the only thing there is in one’s life. Studies are important, but so are co-curricular activities. One must do well in sports too, if he or she is to do well in life by maintaining a balanced one. Having a balanced life is also important, for the sake of studies. If one attains balance in life, nothing becomes impossible for that person. A good frame of mind is important to succeed in life.

Hence one should pursue whatever he or she takes interest in. Nothing is big or small , if it is done well. Keeping these points in mind, various career options have been given down below. Explore those you desire, and also, there are links provided to the right, relevant to your search. If you find something interesting, do explore that too.

How many Crows ?

Posted by cls On January - 17 - 2009

Emperor Akbar was highly impressed with the wisdom of Birbal and greatly enjoyed his quick wit. One day Emperor Akbar and Birbal were taking a walk in the palace gardens. It was a nice summer morning. There were plenty of crows happily playing around the pond. While watching the crows, a question came into Akbar’s mind. He wanted to know the number of crows in his kingdom.

As Birbal was accompanying the Empepror, he asked this question to Birbal. After a moment’s thought, Birbal replied, “There are ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine crows in the Kingdom”.

Amazed by his quick response, Akbar tried to test him again, “What if there are more crows than you answered?” Without hesitating Birbal replied, “If there are more crows than my answer, then some crows are visiting from other neighboring kingdoms”. “And what if there are less crows”, Akbar asked. “Then some crows from our kingdom have gone on holidays to other places”.

Safety in Games and Sports

Posted by cls On January - 15 - 2009

While playing games your children are prone to injuries. Therefore one must take utmost care and know of all the safety procedures before hand. As a parent, it is very beneficial to know the causes, prevention as well as medication and treatment of sport injuries, so that your child may be safe and well looked after.

Even though your child is alert and careful while playing games, remember that in most sports and team games, the individuals players may be  bigger or smaller in age, weight and size and all that influence your child.  Further as children grow up, an element of force and strength does get involved in these games. Below is a list of some injury prevention tips for safe playing of games and sports.

Usage of the correct sport equipment :
The right safety gear for any sport should be worn by all children be it helmets, mouth guards, shin guards or even protective eye wear. Protective equipment should be purchased from the right stores and should be of a particular standard to ensure that they really do provide some safety. Further once purchased, the equipment should be carefully maintained to ensure that when the time comes, they perform their function effectively.

Playing fields / courts / surfaces should also be well maintained :
There should be no ruts, ditches or mud humps on the field that may cause your child to fall and injure himself or herself.

Need for adult supervision :
Team activities in particular need proper adult supervision by a certified coach. The coach should also ensure certain rules and playing etiquette that promote safety on the court. The coach or trainer should be trained in first aid as
well as sports injuries.

Preparation of your child to play a sport :
Ensure that your child is prepared mentally and physically to play a particular sport before he goes out onto the field. The necessary physical training should be given. Ensure proper warm up exercises and that your child knows how to play the sport before going in for matches. Such precautionary measures will not only protect your child and prevent him from injuries but will also enable him / her to have fun while playing the sport.

Cricket

Posted by cls On January - 15 - 2009

Cricket needs no introduction in India it is one of the most popular sports of the country. We know the game by heart and the legends are on the tips of our tongues. So we this a revision of sorts for the kids. Just to make sure we give them the right guidance to play a fun game.

Cricket is played in 2 styles: Test cricket and One day cricket.

  1. Test cricket generally lasts for five days where each team / side has 2 innings.
  2. One day cricket is played for a day only and each side has an inning each.

Essentially the game is played between 2 teams. One team sends out a man with a bat on the field. He has to stand in front of 3 sticks with bales balanced on them. They’re wickets. He has to face the other team who is entirely present on the field as fielders and sends a bowler to bowl a season ball, a ball specially made out of leather for the game, which the batsman has to hit with the bat. If the ball hits the wickets he is out. If he does hit the ball he needs to run with his singular partner who’s standing at the opposite wicket as a runner. They need to run to and fro till the ball is retrieved by the fielders of the opponents. That is the basic nature of cricket.

What do you need ?
You need to concentrate on 3 areas before playing cricket. Equipment, Players and Location.

I-Equipment :
The equipment requirements of cricket are a bit painstaking but only go to making the game safer and more fun for your kids. The game is more than just a bat and a ball and wickets. It’s all about padding up and wearing the right gear to get into the role of a master player.

Shoes : Since cricket is played on lawns one needs to be careful that your child’s footwear provides good grip. Essentially the shoes need to be comfortable since cricket has always been a leisure sport. So any kind of tennis shoes would prove sufficient. But if you’d like your child to play the sport as it is prescribed then one should carefully consider the sole of the shoe. Make sure that it provides a decent grip with pimpled rubber soles or spikes or a combination of both.Generally batsmen and fast bowlers prefer spikes for better grip. Fielders and wicket keepers can do with ordinary rubber soled shoes.

Batting Pads :
While batting you must be careful about two things. The bat and the rather hard season ball. And the most important part of you that you must protect is your shins. The ball may sometimes find its way through your bat defence and land up hitting your child’s shins which could prove very painful. Similarly the bat could also miss and accidentally hit the shins. Which is why shin pads for batting are essential. Make sure you secure them well enough to protect your kid’s shins but at the same time not hinder his movements while
running.

Box :
Probably the most important guarding equipment for boys since it protects the part which can prove the most painful. The area we’re talking about is the groin region and the box is an essential protection for batsmen and wicketkeepers.

The Bat :
You can’t play cricket without a bat. This makes the selection of the bat for your child so very important. You will need to pay attention to the height of the bat and its weight. The easiest test is to make your child hold the bat upright next to him or her. The top of the bat should reach the top of your child’s thigh. As for weight, bats vary from piece to piece and it depends on the kind of wood used to craft the bat. When your kid just starts playing cricket, it is advisable to go in for a lighter bat. It would be easy for him to manoeuvre it and would also encourage him to play more. The easiest way to test if the bat weight is perfect is to swing the bat. If your child can make a good swing and a back swing without much effort, the bat is perfect.

Batting Gloves :
Your child’s fingers must be protected in cricket since the season ball is a hard ball. The gloves are specially designed with foam padding for each finger to make the sport safer and more fun.

Helmets :
Though a helmet is a must when your child goes out to bat, invariably they may not use it. Their excuse? It is cumbersome and a pain to carry around. It may not be a practical protection, but try and insist your child wear one. Make sure your child’s helmet also has a face guard too for added protection.

Clothes :
Cricket is traditionally played in white clothes. They keep the body cool during the summers and don’t distract the 13 players on field. But as time has gone by coloured clothes are commonplace in cricket. All you need for cricket nowadays is a short or long sleeved t-shirt or jumper and a pair of comfortable slacks or track pants.

Stumps :
These 3 sticks spell life and death for a batsman. They are made out of willow wood and are 28 inches high. There are two sets, one on each end of the pitch. On top of the wickets are 2 bales. If the bowler manages to knock these over while bowling or if the batsman is stumped during a run, the batsman is out! The stumps are an essential feature of the game though often in gully cricket even chalk lines on a wall or three pieces of wood do just fine.

The Ball :
A cricket ball is made out of two halves of leather stitched together and filled inside with cork. It is a hard ball and the seam where the halves are stitched adds to the uniqueness of the ball. It is also known as a season ball. You could get your child a season ball, but if you prefer that he play a safer game, a tennis or rubber ball would do just as well.

Cricket Equipment Approximate Prices*

  • Cricket Bat: Rs.80 – 8000
  • Cricket Ball: Rs.100 – 400
  • Stumps (two sets of 3 stumps each): Rs.500 – 700
  • Pads: Rs.500 – 1500
  • Helmet: Rs.350 – 1000
  • Gloves: Rs.500 – 1500
  • Shin Guard: Rs.100 – 200

* The above prices are indicative prices and may vary according to the quality / brand of equipment.

II-Players :
Cricket ideally needs 22 people and a couple of extras. Divide the teams into 11 each, the two teams will take turns in batting and bowling. A sequence of bowlers should be decided upon from the bowling side and the sequence of batters from the other. The bowlers should assign one wicket keeper and the fielding positions of the other team members. When the first batsman comes onto the pitch he will be followed by the second one too and he will act as the runner, standing on the bowler’s stump, ready to run when the batsman hits the ball. The children should also choose an umpire to manage decisions of the game.

III-Location :
Cricket is primarily played on an open lawn or an ‘oval’ where a strip of earth is called the pitch. It is flanked by the stumps on either end where the bowler and batsman will take their positions. The field should be large enough to hold the fielders in position and a boundary must be set to give the batsmen a target beyond which they hit a 4 and a 6.

How to play ?
The 2 teams toss a coin at the start to decide who will bat and who will bowl. The batting team will send in a batsman and a runner who will take up their position at the stumps. The umpire will stand at the bowler’s stumps. He traditionally dresses in white and observes the game silently. The bowler runs up to the crease and tosses the ball. The batsman has to hit the ball with his bat as far as he can. If he crosses the boundary, he scores a four and if the ball reaches the audience and beyond he scores a six. If the ball rolls anywhere in between it is the job of the fielders to retrieve it. In the meantime the batsmen are supposed to run to each others stumps. With their first switch they score 1 run. They need to keep doing this till they discover that running would be unsafe. Because if they are not in their crease (the area around the stump) they can be stumped by the wicketkeeper or any of the opponents who throw the ball at the wicket! After the bowlers finish their innings of 50 overs (in a one-day) they switch sides and take up the batting stance. The team which makes the maximum number of runs wins.

अहंकार से मुक्ति

Posted by cls On January - 15 - 2009

विद्वता और तेजस्विता के लिए प्रसिद्ध अंगिरा ऋषि के मार्गदर्शन में उनके अनेक शिष्य ज्ञान प्राप्त कर अपना जीवन सफल बनाने की साधना करते थे। उनके एक अत्यंत प्रतिभावान शिष्य उदयन से ऋषि अत्यंत स्नेह रखते थे। एक बार ऋषि ने महसूस किया कि उदयन के व्यवहार में परिवर्तन आ रहा है। उसमें न सिर्फ अहंकार आने लगा था, बल्कि वह आलस्य का भी शिकार होता जा रहा था। ऋषि इससे दुखी थे और उन्होंने उदयन को इन दुष्प्रवृत्तियों से बाहर निकालने के लिये एक तरकीब सोची।

एक रात उदयन के साथ किसी विषय पर चर्चा करते समय अचानक चर्चा रोककर उन्होंने उदयन से कहा, ‘वत्स, सामने रखी अंगीठी में झांक कर देखो, कोयला दहकने के कारण कितना तेजस्वी लग रहा है। इसे निकालकर मेरे सामने रख दो जिससे मैं पास से इसकी तेजस्विता का अवलोकन कर सकूं।’ उदयन ने उनके आदेश का पालन करते हुए कोयले को अंगीठी से निकालकर उनके समीप रख दिया। कुछ ही क्षणों में दहकता हुआ कोयला अंगारे की जगह राख में परिवर्तित हो गया।

दहकते हुए अंगारे को राख में परिवर्तित होते देख ऋषि उदयन से बोले, ‘वत्स देखो, अंगीठी का सबसे चमकदार कोयला जिस प्रकार अग्नि के तेज से विमुख होते ही राख बन गया, उसी प्रकार सक्रिय और प्रतिभावान व्यक्ति भी अभ्यास, स्वाध्याय, विनम्रता, नेकी व सक्रियता से विमुख होते ही आलस्य तथा अहंकार का शिकार होकर निस्तेज व गुणविहीन हो जाता है। इसलिए प्रत्येक व्यक्ति को इस बात को अपने हृदय में बसा लेना चाहिए कि सफलता, अभ्यास, ज्ञान, सक्रियता व बुद्धिमत्ता ही किसी व्यक्ति के जीवन को सार्थक बनाती है। इन गुणों को अपनाकर ही उल्लेखनीय सफलता हासिल की जा सकती है। अहंकार व आलस के व्यक्ति पर हावी होते ही वह इन गुणों से युक्त होते हुए भी गुणरहित होता है और ऐसे व्यक्ति की छवि धीरे-धीरे धूमिल होती जाती है।’ उदयन अपने गुरु का आशय समझ कर तत्परता से विद्याध्ध्यन करने लगा।

Keep on Laughing

Posted by cls On January - 14 - 2009
  1. Laughing 100 times roughly equals 15 minutes on an exercise bike? Vigorous laughter increases the heart rate deepens the breathing rate, and uses muscles in the face, stomach, and diaphragm.
  2. Aside from improving our moods, laughter  reduce stress, help fight infection, and reduce pain.
  3. The levels of two stress hormones, cortisol and epinephrine which suppress the body’s immune system, actually drop after a dose of laughter.
  4. Laughter causes positive changes in brain chemistry by releasing endorphins, and it brings more oxygen into the body with the deeper inhalations.
  5. Laughter releases anger, fear, guilt, anxiety and tension.
  6. Laughter encourages concentration on “right” attitudes rather than “wrong” attitudes.
  7. Higher levels of an antibody (salivary immunoglobulin A) that fights infectious organisms entering the respiratory tract were found in the saliva of people who watched humorous videos or experienced good moods.
  8. Researchers found after watching an hour-long video of slapstick comedy that the “natural killer cells,” which seek out and destroy malignant cells, more actively attacked tumor cells in test tubes. And these effects lasted up to 12 hours.
  9. The 1998 movie Patch Adams told the real-life story of a nonconformist doctor convinced that fun, play, and clowns are important in improving patients’ quality of life in a grim hospital atmosphere.
  10. Planning enjoyable activities for the future will reduce the stressor hormones such as cortisol and epinephrine.
