Talk to Teacher

HSC Boards..... 24 hours to go.... Nervous!!! Exicted!!! Anxiety!! Fear!!! Expectations!!! Too many emotions running through your mind currently.... Relax!!! You should be happy just because all your efforts will be rewarded soon!!! The Hardwork is done, so its time for some Smartwork!!! The next 24 hours try to concentrate on things that have you have already studied and perfected. Do not look for newer things, that part of syllabus which you have never covered. Don't fall prey to unnecessary rumours which will be viral in this world of social media amongst students. Stay away from GHOST FEARS... Ghost Fears are those fears which are non-existent like Would I be able to recollect the entire syllabus? Will the question which I have left out appear in the Question Paper? Is this Chapter important? and many more questions arising in your minds unnecessarily. Be confident about your preparations and set your expectations accordingly. At times when you feel that your

The First Run

Image
When I say "First" is unforgettable.... yeah I mean it.!!! You have guessed it right too..  First Crush, First Love, First Child, First word of the child and the story continues.... For a runner, the first run matters too!!! A Chartered Accountant by Qualification, A Teacher by Profession and a Runner by Passion defines me perfectly. Till date I have done 2 full marathons (TMM 2019 and 2020 in sub 5 hours), few half marathons and many 10km runs. But still what remains fresh in my memory is my first 5km run in 55 minutes - yeah you got it right, a perfect example of "A Slow Runner". To learn the dynamics of running from close quarters, I completed Certificate Course of Long Distance running from American College of Sports Medicine and Exercise Science Academy. To practice the theoretical learnings, I coach at Runburn Coaching. (Runburn started with my Friend & Mentor - Mr. Devendra Mane aka Dev) This blog is my view point of running and the factors whi

UDAAN - the pride of Herambites

Image
A Student is created not only by reading books but gaining knowledge outside the book too. The marks scored is definitely an indicator of how well the student has prepared for the exams but it does not guarantee the essence of his behaviour in outside world. At Heramb, we try to make a complete student. Academically strong, socially responsible, morally aware, healthy thinking and Balanced life are some of the key ingredients we inculcate amongst students over the past 18 years. The Annual Cultural fest culminated with Prize Distribution is what UDAAN stands for. The crux of this event is simple - Of the Students, For the Students and By the Students. The entire arrangements for Udaan is done by TYBcom students every year. Infact, the name Udaan was suggested by a Student way back in 2003 (The first batch of TYBCom). To add more meaning to it, the tag line added in next few years was -The Journey Begins.... The journey here referred to the Journey of Life. As in those

My TMM 2020

Image
You may call it by many names - Mecca of runners, Carnival of runners, Holy Grail of India or whatever. You may like it very much or you may dislike it. You may appreciate it as life changing event or You may speak bad about the event. But one thing is for sure, it is the most talked about thing on the 3rd Sunday of every January annually. Runners look forward to be a part of such event and this is like the Annual Board Exams for students or preparation of Final Accounts every year for business to know his growth/decline over the previous year. This year was no exception. TMM2020 has total registrations of over 55,000 runners from across the country. Every aspect of this event is mammoth and care is taken to address to each issue minutely but the gigantic nature of event makes is impractical for perfect execution. (Will come to it a bit later in the blog) Before the mega event, the Bib distribution was a smooth process spread over a period of 4 days from Wednesday, 15th January

Inner Peace

Today everyone is running a rat race Sadly no one regrets having dual face This spreads negativity all the way Nobody is happy at home or being away All the wrong doings makes them sad For every knows his deeds are bad To come out of this nonsense, What one needs is Inner Peace!!! Inner Peace may make a person slow It will inculcate calmness & face will glow People just need to change the direction From outside World to Inside meditation To come out of all the nonsense, What one needs is Inner Peace!!!

Run in Rains - Igatpuri Mountain Challenge

Image
The city of Igatpuri is famous as the fog city Also it has waterfalls allover in its vicinity My first trip happened searching a race route in daylight  Three of us driving through highway looking some good sight An unexpected right turn took us to this road we now run A dam, lot of mountain ranges, waterfalls en-route were real fun Our day was made as we got the route for conducting the race Majority of the work related to race got rolling for many days The first of the many works included conducting route recce on a Sunday This helps to get the actual feel experienced by runners on the race day Our event being decided in October, made us plan our recce in rainy season We were mesmerised by the scenery around and were in awe beyond imagination Nature had blessed the entire region with greenery and waterfall The tourist visited the place on weekend to enjoy the same in rainfall The inaugural edition of the Igatpuri moutain challenge was a huge hit The r

Graduation

Graduation is a general word which means continuous development Not only continuous, it also means a consistent growth and achievement Every human being likes to be the master in his field he chooses to be Twinkling like a star in the night and everyone praising what they see Reaching the top most position is dream for every one who starts new Many start with high levels of energy but the ultimate aim is reached by few Reasons for stories success can be attributed to many factors, relevant or not Stories of failures, though important, generally belong to the neglected lot Graduation is not restricted to academics only, it has a universal applicability Its importance can be experienced on purchase of vehicle based on ability Even Graduation is important in development of a sports person Graduation is natural, look at a father, some day he too was a son Knowingly or unknowingly, every person is thrown in the pool of education Few enjoy the waves of knowl

A teacher and his results!!!

About hsc results!!! This day has been always a special day in my life since I started teaching.  Those days, there was no competiton as I was the owner of the only commerce classes in Kalyan East and competition was with self for improvement.  Later on competiton arrived as expected but our aim of providing quality education was never compromised. Hence, we could survive the test of time till date.  For running a coaching classes successfully, two things are needed. One is knowledge and other is to be able to predict the future. Also, being a teacher, presentation does play an important role. One mantra for successful teacher is " students should be in awe of his teacher". The student must always feel his teacher is a one step ahead and the student should follow his teacher's footsteps to become successful. Once this relationship is stamped, the next course of action is relatively easier. The bonding plays an important role for development of b

Admiring Life

I sometimes wonder, what a beautiful creation is this human race Looks identical externally yet everyone has a unique body and face Every part is placed perfectly as is needed for us to survive till fate One just needs to acknowledge the placement and appreciate A Head, a Trunk, a Pair of Hands to work and legs to walk In the face - Two Eyes, Ears, A Nose and a Mouth to talk Hairs on the head with brain within, for it is very delicate A heart which pumps out blood for all parts has least weight Being similar yet every human are different on many grounds The difference created makes every human take unwanted rounds To illustrate a few, Hairs can be black or brown, Face – Round or Long, Color – White,  Black or Weatish, providing  reasons to few idiots, for  not to get along Having been granted such a beautiful life, our work is to work and admire Appreciation is such a small word to be taught to anyone out there Everyone must learn to stop causing p

The best time one spends with children  Moreoften than not is when they run Running can be a part of play or it may be without a reason This can be that pinch of exercise needed for every season The best place of course is in the open air Here one can be oneself without the mask on the face which he carries everywhere The child plays with parents and grows up learning to be fair In the process the parents also become a child, shouting and laughing, totally unaware All this requires a major sacrifice from parents side 'Time' from their preoccupied schedule, for everyone is almost died on their return -home ride Proper planning can however turn favourably this unusual tide This will definitely work in binding the relationship which visibly has  become wide Today's life in urban areas have become quite complex No complaining others, as house today means only a duplex  The necessities have just gone over the roof, where everybody wants to be Rex Even the expectation are unbeat

Dowry / दहेज

In the world we survive, which is moving so fast We can reach any part of the world which is so vast We call ourselves modernized but fail to break clutches of caste Some practices are good, some cease to exist, and must not last There can be no excuse for carrying on such malpractice without being wise Just because our forefathers committed mistakes without imagining the price Those days, no doubt, it was indeed difficult to get two times of rice And few cunning minds ignited the minds of simpletons, not letting them arise Today education must cause a change in the way the modern man should think It's the man who has to break the barriers of  wrong customs and make it to sink No stone should be left unturned to stop this practice which is nothing but evil This practise causes harm and even takes out life, which is an act of being a devil By continuing such heinous crime even in this modern day without giving a thought the man fails to prove the theory of evolut

Vacations dying?

Image
The time every student looks forward with huge expectation Yes dear friends, it was our joyous time called Vacation No books, No studies, and more importantly No compulsion Play is the only word which comes to mind without tension Vacation is a real wonder time of enthusiasm and joy Students have ample of time for fun and also to enjoy It really does not matter whether it is a girl or a boy While Boys enjoy playing cricket, girls enjoy their kitchen toy What a wonderful time, no words to describe the fun Live happily, play merrily, forgetting the heat of the sun Ludo, Carrom board, Cards are generally agenda of the noon After a busy day, the nights spent playfully being under the moon Priorities of vacation was to catch up sleep lost due to exam fever Plan a jog/walk in the dawn with friends to tone the heart and liver A major part of vacation was reserved for going to native together For Vacations were incomplete without reunion of near and dear All th

Hey all, welcome to this kingdom you are sure to get rid of the boredom Have loads of uninterrupted joy and fun that you have missed in the busy life, you run In this kingdom, there are no restrictions what so ever you may become a character that you think, whatever In a moment you can become a King with anybody as assisting you in you wing Giving orders to all, including your bosses For every other day you are made responsible for all his losses Immediately you may travel to far off places within a second it can be high mountains, deep valleys, dense forest without any end You can enjoy what can one can think in his wildest dream Being at north pole, still enjoying your favorite ice-cream The next moment you may choose to be inside the deepest sea divine swimming next to huge whales, sharks and all creatures marine Being exhausted you may just enter your huge bungalow With exotic designs and interiors having a fair glow Just as you are in your deepest slumb

Accident

Image
A word that can change the world of the person involved Life becomes anti climax of an otherwise routine work going around Every accident may not be intentional But it is always the end result of a thought very irrational Accidents occur almost every second as the world clock ticks All related lives are affected as there is a shake in the family wall of bricks The running of the ambulance on roads is a live example of the same The culprit involved are moving around free without any shame The impact of an accident is worser than a nightmare The human system is affected badly in every aspect including body hardware The broken bones may be rejoined but after involving a huge cost this not only includes cost of medication but also involves the time lost The family has to sacrifice a lot after every accident is a real fact Everything has to be resorted, which has been scattered by a irrational act Every moving ambulance makes ME aware of the silent prayers murmured

Women's Day

Its very interesting to observe the reaction of a man When he knows there is a special day for 'woman' The Ego within takes control & he immediately declares a ban But the Wiser mind advises Him to take note of his action plan He surely understands his plan has gone for a toss For She is in many a ways become His Boss If He dares ignore her, it will be his biggest loss For the Sacrifices made by Her is for the family's cause The Traditional man, was pampered for being a king always Without the farthest knowledge of the role his better-half plays She spent her life burning self, to strengthen the pots of clays taking care of family and balancing her life in many a ways Today, the tables have gone upside down, change is in the air Women have understood, even the nature supports being fair She knows most of the actions of the men are just a 'show of dare' but finally, She is the Tortoise in the race between tortoise and the hare. Happy Women

The Daily Start

Everyday I go for my morning walk in a park I find many people walking, some ready on their mark It is generally dawn, no lights almost dark Accompanying some are the faithful dogs, who seldom bark In such a jovial environment, peace exist No mark of tension of daily routine, not even a bit The elderly have a good time with peers before they exit Fresh Oxygen gives a pleasant feeling to add to benefit Amongst all these things moving around normally A fire brigade vehicle was stationed motionlessly Everyday the driver would self start the engine vigorously I had a doubt, was this exercise absolutely necessary? The driver explained me the simple reason for this If the engine is not started daily, giving a valid  logic for the miss Then the vehicle may be stranded and be motionless as it is on the day it is required the most, further worsening the crisis What a simple yet powerful message to learn Applicable for all fields this life, irrespective of what you earn Th

Tackling Situations

Every moment  he stepped on the street And found people run away rather than greet He thought the reason may be the heat Nothing else jolted his mind, for he was so sweet!!! People spoke of high achievement made by him on his face The pinnacle of success he touched from a normal base They appreciated His generosity, his contribution and his grace He believed their words and moved ahead in life in normal pace But the harsh realities of life exposed slowly and steadily The very same people spoke ugly behind his back selfishly The talks were more of rumours than reality, spreading unnecessarily Unknown people were created a picture in mind rather unfairly He was very depressed as talks were becoming murkier by each passing day Everyone around him spoke and he was hardly given a chance to say But then, he believed in fortune and that bad times will  move away Sun will again shine in his life and all responsible will have a price to pay Every person, living this modern

Teacher's Day

Image
A day to celebrate the birthday of Dr. Sarvapalli Radhakrishnan The students make it a point to enjoy with  lots of celebration and fun As the day belongs to people, who generally work to inculcate discipline Among those who are happy-go-lucky and actually are not very keen A teacher may be in good books of few students, as many prefer to stay away For the methods adopted while correcting a wrong step may not be pleasing anyway But it is the work of the teacher play such a role His vision is to create a disciplined student with proper goal Academics is a part of everyone's life which is mandatory And the paradox is that students hate to study and add to their worry They feel like they are birds born to fly high in the sky Bogged down unnecessarily by the burden, which makes them cry A teacher and student stand at two stages of life with different priority A student should understand that every act of teacher is aimed at student's prosperity At that stage of

Thinking for others....

Image
In this modern world, where time is moving so very fast People are running behind time to earn and save for the last In this race, people become mean and self interested to the core Their world starts and ends with their family of four At such times, if 'you' think about others with helping intention Nothing can be more appreciated in this age of intense competition Your step taken for lending a helping hand to needy and poor In turn may make your life contented and worth living, for sure Charity can be in any form, either donation in cash or providing service common Your initiative today will go a long way to revive the life of many or at least one God Bless you all now and forever!!! Lord Krishna is playing with us just here!!! HAPPY JANMASTAMI!!!

Wah re bhagwan!!!

I search you, call u daily, but never find you Feeling disappointed, i search for ways new But when i am in deep problem, which seems to remain forever You come and solve as if nothing existed ever I am sure my belief in you can never cease With such timely interventions, the faith is sure to increase Many argue about your existence, give rational argument, make us speechless The biggest question though is we have very little to prove, for you are formless The Proof of your existence is best felt at personal level at different phase  For you are a friend, a philosopher, a guide,  play different role in different case There are mixture in every living element of life, some believers others not Only love can spread the fragrance of your being, rather than battles fought My experiences says every atheist believes you more than the firm believers The only difference is they wander around searching for the existence of yours !!!Bappa morya - Om sai ram - Saranam ayyappa!!!
