IHC - Children's Day Celebrations

It has been more than 2 years now since we started working on Indian Heroes Calendar (IHC). After working on over 200+ stories for over a year, we had started 'Fun with Heroes' online sessions to tell stories about India's heroes to the young generation. After conducting sessions for a over a year, we decided to take a break.

Recently, Sanskriti School reached out through its Parents Outreach program to conduct similar session for their students. We decided to cover four stories of heroes from different fields that would create interest in these students.

Finally, the session was conducted as a part of the Children's Day celebrations on Nov 14, 2022. Students of classes 4, 5 and 6 attended this online session. We covered following stories:

Jawaharlal Nehru
Subedar Joginder Singh
Dr Verghese Kurien
Jamsetji Tata

The sessions included Fun Q & A and even a Quiz (link below). Students showed great enthusiasm and were quite active during the session. The session was possible due to the efforts of Shaily teacher of Sanskriti School. We are extremely thankful Sanskriti School for their support and genuine interest.

The purpose of such sessions is to provide an interesting and encouraging introduction about each hero. Once readers get to know about the hero, they can explore them in greater details through various books and other resources.

The Engineering Admission Guide

Ever since I graduated, every year I receive queries regarding engineering admissions. This blog is a sincere effort to highlight some of the key points to be considered during admissions. The suggestions are based on my personal experiences and observations. Institute name matters, Always No matter what course you actually get engaged with, it’s the name of your alma mater that matters. It is this institute which will be a part of your resume for the rest of your life. It’s not that very good institutes have altogether different syllabus or teaching methodologies.

3 Phases of a Newborn

As my son approaches his first birthday, my mind rewinds all the moments associated with him since I took him in my hands just 15 minutes after his birth. Since then there isn't a single day when I haven't seen him, which allowed me to observe his natural growth over the one year. I have divided the growth in 3 different phases: 1. Dependent Phase The first four months describe this phase. The child has just come into this world. He is getting used to the day-night schedule, lights and sounds, faces and expressions. He remains confined to whichever place you take him to, relying mostly on mother's milk for food, sleeping for almost 14 hours a day, this is the quietest phase of his childhood. They slowly develop their vision and hearing capabilities. Most of their instincts rely on the feeling of touch. They are yet to identify their parents, and therefore do not hesitate spending time with others. Best Part: Playing with his tiny and delica...

Book Review - The Battle of Rezang La

Background 1962 Sino-Indian war happened some 60 years ago. While we rightly celebrate our victories in other wars fought over the last 75 years, the loss of 1962 is not discussed. Despite the loss, the raw courage shown by the Indian armed forces in the absence of modern facilities in extreme whether conditions was bravery of the highest class. The stories related to this war has always fascinated me. I got good information about the war fought in NEFA during our visit to Tawang and Bumla last year. This book The Battle of Rezang La provides quite a comprehensive account about the war fought in the Ladakh region, especially the Rezang La battle fought by the Charlie Company. Preface Ram Chander and Nihal Singh were captured by the Chinese soldiers during the battle on 18 November 1962. They managed to escape and survived the battle injuries to reach back to the Indian camp in extreme conditions. When they narrated the details of the war, their truth about the battle ...
