Rebuilding Kerala
When parents participate and voice their opinions it’s worthwhile to add the importance of a simple two letter word in the curriculum
Our children has to be taught to say an emphatic “No”
As part of my drive to have Social Ethics in the curriculum as a compulsory subject from Nursery to PHD and forever…
I want to write what I gathered from teenagers, and now I would like to extend the same learning to adults and people in all walks of life.
A few decades ago the freedom to interact with anyone of the opposite sex, and share time was controlled by all around.
Now, times have changed, the freedom is unlimited to be in touch, technology makes it very conducive with mobile phones and face time and many more.
I never imagined in my wildest dreams I would write about a disaster kit, and the do’s and don’ts during a flood in my dear Kerala.
When I think of the precious time that is gone down the drain, drowning the rebuilding Kerala after the natural disaster that hit us, I believe it’s high time we educate ourselves the limits of our freedom to say YES and to say NO.
There is nothing to be shy about, if we educate ourselves right through our curriculum, through rules and regulations which can be made part of the employment offer letters, as code of conduct in all public places, in institutions. Let’s get it clear and not have our precious time wasted on people who fail to follow rules.
I still remember taking my first flight in 1981, we could carry a barrel of water as long as it was within the hand carry limit of 7 kgs, after 9/11 I am not allowed to carry a sip of water through security check. No one would argue that, as it’s to protect the safety and security of the passengers.
Let’s learn to know the rules and the rights for all, both Men and Women and lets follow rules and still if we violate let’s face the consequences without having our nation stop rebuilding Kerala
Time is running out
Drought is hitting us all; we have a long way to go….
Teach our children to Say NO to SEX from their younger days
The most successful is NO
Children can learn the facts and reasons from their teachers and parents and the following were collected from a bunch of teenagers I met around in the US, I am sure we can make it much more closer to our part of the world for our neighborhood if parents can join hands and take it up to educate our young ones and also elders.
