  Power of Thanksgiving “Gratitude can transform common days into thanksgiving, turn routine jobs into joy, and change ordinary opportunities into blessings.” When we are grateful – we can see what all we have & unlock blessings to flow into our life. My dad had a thanksgiving lifestyle and was grateful to God for everything He did for him. Whenever thanksgiving rises up to God, he is stirred into action to perform a miracle. My dad always said “ Be a thanks-giver because thanksgiving releases enormous power of God to do wonders in your life. Gratitude is a spiritual force that empowers us to scale to higher heights.” When you are a grateful, thankful human-being, supernatural powerful forces from heaven are unleashed that cause things to work for you the way they should. Thanksgiving has the power to bring encouragement to the believer and helps to build more confidence in God. It qualifies you for another act of favour from God. Strength and courage are released, when you thank G

  Fit India: Fit Family Movement During the last 8 months, our life has changed dramatically. Everyone is at home, no routine, no physical school, no garden visits, no outstation tours, no functions, no birthday parties. We all are stuck at our houses. Even the extra curricular sports classes in the evening have also come to an end. This has led to zero physical exercise in our daily life and at the same time the amount of food intake has increased. This is a serious matter of concern. We as a parent, now have to step forward to end this. I am sharing a 3 step formula for doing this; Formula 1: BE CREATIVE Be creative with your physical movement, put your sofa and center table aside and create a play area right in the center of your drawing room or just grab a skipping rope and give a challenge to everyone at home. If nothing works, just play Hide & Seek. This will bring some fun and more than normal movement in your body. Formula 2: SCHEDULE EVERYONE Set up a common time with all

NAVRATRI: A festival of Woman Power Navratri  is a festival to celebrate the victory of  Goddess Durga  over the wicked demon. An interesting mythological story which forms the basis of Navratri festival in India is that there was a demon named ‘Mahishasura’ who caused nuisance to all Gods. To destroy Mahishasura, all the Gods created Goddess Durga who had immense power.   The demon Mahishasura proposed to marry Goddess Durga but Durga laid down a condition that she would marry Mahishasura only if he could defeat her in a war. This war between Mahishasura and Durga continued for nine days and nine nights and eventually on the tenth day, Goddess Durga killed Mahishasura and emerged victorious in the battle.   “Nav” means nine and “Ratri” means night. So Navratri is celebrated for nine days and nights. It is believed that the Goddess Durga takes the following nine incarnations on each day of nine days-festival.   1) Shailaputri, 2) Brahmacharini, 3) Chandraghanta, 4) Kushmanda, 5) Skandm

  Significance of Navratri: 9 incarnations of Durga Navratri  is a festival celebrated differently in various parts of the Indian Cultural Sphere in the honor of the divine feminine  Devi Durga . The festival is associated with the prominent battle that took place between Durga and demon Mahishasura and celebrates the victory of good over evil. These nine days are solely dedicated to goddess Durga and her nine avatars (incarnation of the goddess )- the  Navdurga.   Day 1: Shailaputri Shailaputri (literally daughter of mountain) is an incarnation of Parvati who is worshiped as the consort of Shiva which depicts action and vigor. The color of the day is red. Women must assimilate courage from Maa Shailputri to stand against domestic violence.   Day 2: Brahmacharini An incarnation of Parvatis’ unmarried self, Brahmacharini is worshipped for salvation and endowment of peace and prosperity. The goddess symbolizes bliss and calms with the color code blue depicting strong energy. Women must a

  The Techno Savvy Year-2020 To most people who are cursing the Year 2020 for the unexpected pandemic situation, they are going to be leaving behind all of their old social groups & friends, and are going to end with regrets for this time. Are we really in isolation or into a beautiful time for creation, think about it. It’s something that goes through the mind of just dealin with the present scenario. Taking no further actions to change it, means you are not less than dead end. Isn’t it true or really worth it?   It’s important to address it not to isolation but to be in a creation period, be creative, be passionate, read more, and develop this feeling of anxiety into serenity.

  10 Top Qualities of a Good Student Dear students,   “Don’t let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do. You must strive for progress, not perfection.” A strong believer of the above mentioned words,  Mrs. Deepika Manglani, Director of Dolphins Group of Schools  has shared with all the top 10 qualities one must have to be a great student.   1.) Kind – As a student, be kind and compassionate, towards your classmates, always be ready to share your things, be helpful to your other fellow students. Be ready to solve problems, whether a sum of Maths or sharing something like a sharpener in need.   2.) Curiosity – Curiosity is an astounding quality every teacher loves. Being curious makes you learn new things but remember, be curious for new learnings, not for troubling the class or teachers.   3.) Dreamer – Professor Abdul Kalam once said, ‘Dream is not that you see while sleeping rather Dream is something which will not let you sleep.’ I love this quote & I found it very nea

  What is important to teach students for the future? “We are all born as empty vessels which can be shaped by moral value.” ________ Jerry Springer   Today’s students will become the citizens – employers, employees, professionals, educators, and caretakers of our planet.   Apart from academics, there are many more which help students to face challenges and opportunities:-   ·        Teach collaboration as a value and skill set, which will make them ready to collaborate with others on a global level.   ·        They should be able to communicate openness and tolerance for unfamiliar culture and ideas.   ·        Openness towards technology as the world is moving towards technology at a breakneck pace and also to use critical analysis for assessing the veracity, the current uses of new information.   ·        Children are born with brains that want to learn.

  My First Day at School We have seen glimpses of children’s life at home before they attend school for the first time. We also saw the processes by which they learnt various things at home. Life at home was secure, surrounded by familiar, doting adults and full of happiness. School is an Alien Place! Just imagine how different children’s experiences would be in the first few days of school! Suddenly one day they are brought to a place which is totally unfamiliar to them. The place is very crowded and filled with a lot of adults they do not even recognize. They are embraced by strangers who sometimes have to forcibly take them away from their mother’s arms. They also see many other children like them crying. Crying seems addictive and more and more children seem to join in the chorus. They can see their parents who do not seem to come forward and take them back into their arms. The place also seems to be filled with a lot of furniture leaving almost no place for playing. It is such a r

Healthy Eating Habits for Students When it comes to healthy eating and food preferences, school children may fall anywhere within this wide range of the spectrum. Some children may still be picky eaters as they were in their pre-school while some might have picked up the pace and matured to become adventurous with their eating habits, trying everything that comes their way. But, no matter what kind of eating habits your children have taken over, you can help them shape their preferences towards nutritious food by guiding them towards healthy eating habits and a healthy lifestyle. One of the most important aspects of healthy eating is portion control and cutting fat and sugar intake in food to optimal levels. A simple way to reduce fat intake in your child’s diet and promote a healthy weight include the following: a) Non-fat dairy products b) Whole grain bread or cereals c) Healthy snacks such as fruits and vegetables Also, scale back the number of sweetened drinks and salt in your chil

  10 steps to prepare your child for Back-to-School The new academic session 2019-20 is almost upon us. Going back to school after a long break is something that no child enjoys. In fact, it can be overwhelming for children and parents alike. As the vacation ends, our attention fades from planning vacation trips to getting the children back to the normal routine. It’s less stressful and quite smooth to get back to school if it’s done gradually instead of suddenly realizing that “there is school tomorrow”. The adjustment period for students who feel ‘back to school anxiety’ should start 2 weeks prior to the re-opening of the school. During this time, it’s best to calm them down by reading bedtime stories to help calm their jitters. Older children have already gone through the phrase many times, so they need approximately a week to get back on track. Here are some back-to-school tips for parents, which you can help your kids get back into the rhythm of a school routine so that they are r
