Honouring and taking care of our father will be like celebrating fathers' day every day:

Father's Day is celebrated in many counties on the same day i.e. usually celebrated in India on the third Sunday in June.

Thus in 2020, it is 21st June. This day is celebrated to recognize the contribution that fathers and father figures make to the lives of their children.

History of Father's Day:

Father's Day was founded in Spokane, Washington at the YMCA in 1910 by Sonora Smart Dodd, who was born in Arkansas. Its first celebration was in the Spokane YMCA on June 19, 1910. Her father, the Civil War veteran William Jackson Smart, was a single parent who raised his six children there. After hearing a sermon about Anna Jarvis's Mother's Day at Central Methodist Episcopal Church in 1909, she told her pastor that fathers should have a similar holiday honouring them. Although she initially suggested June 5, her father's birthday, the pastors of the Spokane Ministerial Alliance did not have enough time to prepare their sermons, and the celebration was deferred to the third Sunday of June (Wikipedia).

Fathers are always special!

One day is not enough to celebrate a day of such an honest, pure and precious member of the family. Thus honouring and taking care of our father will be like celebrating fathers' day every day.

If our fathers are departed to heaven, then having a good relationship with the people who were in a relationship or in friendship with our father is like giving them peace forever. And stepping on their shoes as role modelling.

One who loves till her eyes close, is a *Mother*.

One who loves without an expression in the eyes, is a *Father*.

How Going Bookless Transforms Student Learning:

- Eyes on the class, Not the Page: The Case for Bookless Teaching Let’s be honest: there’s a massive difference between a teacher who is locked into a textbook and one who is fully locked into the classroom. When we teach with our eyes glued to a page, we’re often just managing a script; but when we put the book down, the classroom instantly shifts from a formal lecture into a living, breathing conversation. It takes a little courage to step away from the safety net of printed chapters, but the payoff in raw student connection and active memory recall is unmatched. Going "bookless" in a classroom—whether you're the student or the teacher—is a bold move that shifts the energy from passive reading to active engagement. While books are incredible resources, stepping away from them during a live session offers some unique psychological and social advantages. 1. Heightened Active Listening When there isn’t a text to follow along with, the brain is forced to process informatio...

The man who had never occupied a school desk spent nearly 11 years trying to build a classroom large enough for an entire republic:

Seven key differences between Parenting in India and Dutch:

- A Dutch mother, Ivana, recently shared her experiences living in Mumbai for nine years, highlighting seven key differences between parenting in India. She emphasises that neither approach is "better" or "worse," but rather they involve different trade-offs. Key Differences in Parenting: According to her viral reflections on [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/reel/DWJv7RLDM-z/), the primary contrasts include: * Community vs. Solo Marathon: In the Netherlands, parenting often feels like a "solo marathon". In Mumbai, she experiences a "real village" where family, neighbours, and the building community are always available to help. * Independence vs. Interdependence: Dutch culture raises children to be "fierceley independent," such as cycling to school alone at age eight. Indian parenting focuses on interdependence and being part of a larger, supportive system. * Child-Friendly Public Spaces: She notes that children in India are acce...

Looking Deeper: How to Measure a School’s Holistic Success Before Admission:

- # Beyond the Billboard: Why It’s Time to Stop Judging Schools by Their Toppers Every spring, city streets and newspaper pages light up with the same familiar sights: massive, gloss-printed billboards featuring a handful of smiling students who scored a 99% or clinched top ranks. For decades, these billboards have served as the ultimate marketing tool for educational institutions, and parents routinely queue up for admissions based entirely on these extreme outliers. But if we look past the flashing lights of the top 1%, a critical question remains: **What about the rest of the school?** When we judge an institution solely by its toppers, we mistake individual genius for institutional excellence. To understand the true health, equity, and capability of a school, both parents and educators need to change the metric of success. ## The Illusion of the Outlier Toppers are, by definition, statistical outliers. Often, these students possess a high degree of intrinsic motivation, strong...

Every Child’s Mind Can Grow: How We Learned to Protect and Nurture Young Minds:

- For a long time, people believed that children were born with a set amount of intelligence that could never really change. If a child struggled to learn, it was often assumed to be something they were simply born with. Psychologist J. McVicker Hunt changed that mindset forever. He showed the world that a young child’s brain is not set in stone—it is flexible, growing, and deeply affected by the world around them. What a child hears, sees, and experiences in their earliest years can completely shape how their mind develops. ## What Happens When Young Minds Miss Out ? Hunt paid close attention to what happens when children grow up in tough environments without enough learning tools, books, or warm, interactive attention. He discovered that children raised without these basic early opportunities fell far behind in thinking and learning skills—not because they weren't capable, but because their brains were starving for stimulation. The most vital part of his discovery, however, was ...
