FOUNDER'S NOTE
When we look back on a lifetime’s work and experiences, what really matters is how much we enjoyed (and contributed) to the journey, and not the destination that we have reached. Since childhood I was fascinated with human beings (often animal beings too) and their behavior.
Wanting to contribute my mite towards welfare of individuals, I sought out ways and means to reach out and enrich quality of life through empowerment, and not by charity. It is a joy to see how Banjara and Banjarites have flourished in the past over four decades and have made a mark in the world of human behaviour and counselling, and I look forward always to include more and more people into the ever growing Banjara family.

Ali’s Reflections…
The festive season is here. We celebrated our Independence Day, welcomed Lord Ganesha, and then the extended celebrations of Onam and Dassera. We now look forward to Diwali, Karnataka Rajyotsava, Christmas, New Year.
Every festival has some message to convey to us, a reminder that life is beyond the daily routine, and that good days are awaiting us if we wish to acknowledge them with the true spirit of reaching out to those who may be going through a difficult time or struggling through challenges.
Let us use the festive season to build better bonds and harmony with every human being (and other living beings too!)
From the time Instant Coffee and Maggi Noodles started spoiling us, we want everything immediately – since we are paying for it. And many suppliers take advantage of this weakness of ours and make a quick buck.
I often wonder what will happen if a product is delivered to us in 30 minutes instead of the promised 10 minutes.
I keep questioning why there is so much hurry and why we cannot wait for delayed gratifications. Soon we will be wanting everything instantly and losing money without even realizing it.
Nature teaches us so much about delayed gratification, but we don’t learn our lessons.
Experienced people will tell you that there is so much joy in desiring something, working towards it with hard work and hope, and finally getting the satisfaction and happiness of achieving it.
At times someone we trust or love hurts us badly.
The person may have let us down, cheated us, humiliated us or ignored us. When outsiders do the same we are upset for some time but we recover and move on. But if the person was (or is) very dear to us then it becomes difficult to get over, and the emotional hurt persists for a long time.
Here are some simple tips to reduce the pain and thereby become more relaxed or functional:
- Acknowledge and Accept Your Feelings, label them
- Practice Self-Compassion
- Challenge Negative Thought Patterns
- Cultivate Forgiveness
- Spend time with those who have been good to you
- Do Healing Activities
- Set Boundaries in to prevent hurt in future
Don’t expect quick results. The above have to be practiced regularly for a long time before you feel lighter. Best of luck!
To study or not to study core-subjects?
Do undergraduate students need to study non-core subjects to acquire a more holistic world view? Or should they focus only on core subjects to develop exclusive expertise in them?
The Dept. Of Collegiate education has urged experts to deliberate on how core subjects can be given more prominence and plans to constitute a committee to examine this proposal. While they feel that learning languages in the first 2 years is “absolutely” essential they are not happy with the emphasis they are currently given.
Besides languages, some of the non-core subjects taught include Indian constitution, Women’s studies and Environmental Sciences. Currently undergraduate students are taught three core subjects, 2 languages and 1 soft skills subjects from semester 1 to 4. In semester 5 and 6, they learn six core subjects each semester.
The proposal has garnered mixed response from the student and academic fraternity. Sources in the dept. pointed out that there were 91 working days in the academic year and nearly 40% of this time was spent in learning non-core subjects and languages. Students spent 60 hrs. per semester on each core subject and about half of this on non-core subject.
However a science professor of a govt. degree college said that most of these non-core subjects are based on industry requirement. “For instance, we can use non-core subjects to improve the subject expertise of the core subjects. It all depends on how the college and lecturer decide to use these classes,” he said.
