Jayanthi S (Gurukul)

Children……bundles of joy and full of surprises!!! Passionate about working with children, she feels it’s a great pleasure being with them & getting an opportunity to understand their little kingdom. She feels they help her discover her passion and has not looked back ever since she took over in Banjara’s Gurukul many years ago. Very hard working, dedicated, and has loads of patience. She has learnt to stay calm & composed in most situations and thoroughly enjoys her work. Since she feels that every child is different and unique in his or her own way, she tries to bring out hidden talent, special abilities, and at the same time has been a perpetual learner, feeling fulfilled and getting a great sense of contentment.

I look around and see that people are hardly stepping out of their houses – restaurants have more Swiggy delivery agents, Malls seem to be empty, meetings and seminars have become on-line.

The after-effects of Covid have truly become the new normal and face-to-face interaction is reducing consistently. People prefer to be in their cocoons and social interaction at personal level has reduced.

Visiting friends, going to the street corner for pani-puri, watching movies in a cinema theater, shopping for daily needs, or just taking a walk in the park, have become less and less.

Please keep aside your mobiles and revive the human touch once again, feel the warmth and sense of belonging.

Alternatives to engineering

Since the demand for engineering is steadily going down with the proliferation of hundreds of engineering colleges all over the country, it may be prudent on the part of school and PUC students to explore wider instead of blindly into engineering.  Parents also need to become aware that they have to help their wards plan for the next half century, and having a slightly visionary outlook can ensure that the student gets into a promising and rewarding career.

There are many more professional courses that can be considered, which are likely to do well for a long time to come. Explore, find out details, talk to knowledgeable people, and then take your final decision. Some of the other professional courses are:

  • 5-year Law course offered by the National Law Schools and other reputed Law Colleges
  • 3 and 4 year paramedical courses in Speech & Audiology, Renal Dialysis, Physiotherapy, Radiography, Pharmacy, etc.
  • 4-year Bachelor of Hotel Management, or Travel and Tourism
  • 4-year courses in Agricultural Sciences, Horticulture, Agricultural Engineering, Forestry etc. offered by Universities of Agricultural Sciences
  • 5-year Bachelor of Architecture (admission through NATA test)
  • 3 and 4 year courses in general or specialized areas of design
  • Integrated 4 and 5 year courses in Pure Sciences

Since the time the New Year started, I have been reflecting over how we keep changing and evolving, how we do not even realize how different we are from what we were earlier.

I strongly believe that we should enjoy the journey, and not give too much significance to the destination. Years change, relationships change, and our priorities change.  If you keep celebrating each day and event, you will never face monotony or boredom.  You will always have good memories, and excitement of the future.
