Dad as a teacher

 

My parents used to teach me certain things with a calm face at first but my poor brain tested their patience which ended up getting a nice smack in my head from my parents. It mostly happened when my dad taught me to ride a scooter It happened when I was 11 years old, I'm not even near my dad's shoulder now then just imagine how could my leg reach to the ground even now it won't, but my father wants me to learn riding a scooter to which I couldn't even deny to them. At the initial stage of my learning, Dad would sit behind me and hold the handlebar with his both hands and later he started to support me only with his left hand when I lost balance and got a good shot either in my head or hand then somehow get balance and try to lead a good ride without getting any special gifts which make my hand red as a tomato. After years of getting a lot of criticism from my dad whenever he gives chance to ride a bike, it does make sense because I'll make a lot of mistakes. Till now I can ride a bike but won't get our scooter home without getting yelled by strangers at least once a day. But everyone masters an art by falling and getting criticism from people. I do cry when I get nice scolding from my dad while riding a bike in public yes....people do stare at me with pity but without those slaps, I wouldn't be able to ride a bike now. I even thought of quitting while learning to drive but my parents forced me which helped me a lot now. I don't have to disturb anyone to go somewhere and it helps our family when there is an urgent. Some things look scary while learning and even make us to quit but overcoming our fear and the criticism that we face today by doing things that scare us the most.

PLANS, FOR GOOD

Hello folks, hope everyone is doing great, Since it's my first blog I would like to start it with some spiritual stuff that I personally experienced in my life, I believe this verse from the bible which goes ''My plans aren't yours'' I could explain this with an incident from my life. A year before when I was in the 12th grade, I wanted my career to be in medicine specifically as a dental surgeon, I devoted most of my time to dreaming and working hard for my dream. although I wanted to become a dental surgeon so badly I still kept my career and my future in god's hands, after a month I completed my board exams and started to prepare for my entrance exam, within a month I had to face my exams, although I didn't have a perfect score but passed by god's grace, But then my parents stepped in saying you can do whatever you want but not medicine which made me step back from a dream in which I didn't realize that one step would part me away from the pat

SLEEP

So let me start the blog with a valid question, How many hours will you spend for sleeping in a day?..... My sleeping hours got reduced in the past 3 months I would sleep for 5 hours a day whereas a human has to sleep at least for 8 hours is the doctor's prescription. But you guys, never think of me as a spirited or bustling person those words never suit me. Sleep is a wonderful activity for active beings, by sleeping your anger can go down, and can be relieved from unwanted stress and overthinking, and it will even boost your mental energy. Moreover, you can escape from reality for a while, which means when you wake up from sleep you'll have the confidence to encounter and conquer the battle with which you have been struggling for days. And I have heard people saying those who sleep a lot are sluggish humans, Does it even make any sense?.... Everyone knows how important sleep is, in an individual's life. After a long tiring day even if I get a 10-minute nap that would be s

  Korea Day Today we had the 9th Korea Day at Madras Christian College, It was such a blessing to get a wonderful opportunity to learn the Korean language and its traditions with so much fun and excitement because we have great supportive and cheerful 선생님 (Teacher) and classmates, The day started with rehearsal and soundcheck of the choir and other dance practice. Then we had pizza for lunch with everyone I felt that I was in a family get-together. Those lovely and joyful seniors treated us as their friends despite of age difference. And ceremony was switched on with random K-pop songs and dances which were followed by the arrival of the chief guest and the graduation of the Korean language class students. Then we had flashmob songs which consisted evolution of K-pop throughout the years pursued by the 'Arirang choir' and commemorative photos with everyone in the hall and then we came out to serve food for the guests.
