Pain

The highest pain in life is to speak more with the person you love a lot,
knowing the fact that the person can never be yours in this life time

Jai jinendra

Your importance

If you carry your problems in your head, their weight will crush you,
But if you put them under your feet,they will serve like stairs and help you to rise till success.


Tinke tinke me bikherte chale gaye , tanhai ki gahraaiyo me uterte chale gaye,
jannat the har din jin dosto ke saath ,ek ek kerke sub bichadte chale gaye....


If you love person very deeply and truely,
sure that person will make you cry,
But dont lose your heart...
that person will cry without you knowing,
YOUR IMPORTANCE..........


Bye

Creativity in Education

What does creativity in education mean? It not only implies an original approach towards tackling the same old lessons on the part of the teacher but also an attempt to foster and stimulate the natural inborn creativity that every child possesses and which often dies a slow death on exposure to the stultifying routine school generally means.

There is a marked difference between children in an environment in which they feel free to express themselves and where they are rigidly controlled. If you happen to observe a group of children at play, you will immediately notice how naturally and spontaneously their creativity is expressed.

In fact they display an extraordinary ability to improvise and will even create their own toys and playthings, often out of waste objects. Yet the same children, once they enter school and are compelled to conform to set patterns and modules, seem to lose that spontaneity and inventiveness and become reduced to mere learning machines, taking pride in reproducing perfectly what is fed to them by way of lessons.

Creative education means a two way interchange
What am I expected to do, the teacher might well ask? There is a set syllabus which has to be completed within a given time. Coping with large classes, the burden of the curriculum, the pressure to produce good results-how much room does that leave for creative teaching?

The truth is that if the approach to interpreting the curriculum for the students is creative, children will actually learn faster and retain better. It will be easier to hold their attention and even trouble-makers will be drawn to give their best.

It does require, however, a certain amount of patience, sustained interest and enthusiasm on the part of the teacher-educator, commitment to students and also the ability to put in hard work.

Creativity is encouraged not merely by introducing a few activity-based lessons but by first of all providing a suitable environment. And one of the biggest threats to the latent creativity of a child is fear of the teacher.

If she or he appears to be a stern figure of authority, waiting to penalise those who give the wrong answer, rather than a friendly guide who is going to lead one through the magic portals of learning and knowledge, all initiative will be suffocated.

So the first attempt should be to put the students at their ease and let them feel free to approach the teacher with their thoughts and ideas. The distance between teacher and taught should be reduced by displaying tolerance, understanding and sympathy.

And though the infamous martinet of yesteryears is disappearing from school classrooms, many children feel intimidated by a person who is in a position to control their actions so completely.

Freedom of expression is the second most important step towards nurturing creativity and this will automatically follow if the teacher does not adopt an authoritarian stance. When views which are contrary to established belief are expressed in class, the first impulse is to dismiss them.

However, every point of view should be considered objectively, sympathetically and without adverse comment. A non-judgemental approach on the part of the educator lets even the most timid child express herself or himself without fear.

At the same time if the school atmosphere encourages uniformity rather than originality of approach, creativity cannot thrive.

Creative education stands for the spirit of constant enquiry
Children should learn that there can be several answers to one question, not just one which is adjudged correct and is considered the last word.

If a divergent point of view is considered sensitively on its own merits, instead of being penalised with a reprimand or by having marks cut, original thinking will be encouraged.

Of course, there is no denying that there will be questions which permit only one correct answer but wherever there is room, attempts should be made to allow different trends of thought. Thus the formation of simplistic and rigid thought patterns will be avoided in a child.

Rangoli Ingredients

Rangoli Ingredients A variety of ingredients are used to create a Rangoli. In old days, the colors were traditionally derived from natural dyes - from barks of trees, leaves, indigo, etc. Today however, synthetic dyes are used in a range of bright hue. Rangoli being mainly a floor art, powdered colors are used on cleaned floors to form decorations. The powder primarily consists of finely grounded rice flour. Finely ground white stone powder is used these days, as this is easier to apply and makes the rangolis brighter and well finished. One can also mix rice flour with white stone powder for a better preparation. The powder is usually taken in a pinch and applied with the thumb and the forefinger. Rangolis can be vivid, three-dimensional art complete with shadings when cereals, pulses either in their natural coloring or tinted with natural dyes are applied or they can be the traditional plain, yet as beautiful as, two-dimensional designs when colored powder such as rice, brick, chilly, turmeric, etc is used. In south Indian states like Kerala, flowers like marigolds and chrysanthemums and leaves are used to create Rangoli. As a Rangoli is created through sprinkling powder by hand it is a very laborious and difficult process, and it's difficult to render fine details - meaning the image must be quite large. But all pains are taken to create a perfect Rangoli. Why? Because this art reflects the Indian culture and upholds the age old values of hospitality, perfection in art and also, a deep-rooted reverence for the divine beings and a fear for the powers beyond the realm of human understanding. Rangoli brings a sense of completion in the joyous celebrations of Diwali.

Diwali Rangoli

'Rangoli' is a Sanskrit word which means a creative expression of art through the use of color.The word rangoli may also have come from "rang" (color) + "aavalli" (row), which means row of colors, or from rang+avalli, which means creepers of colors. Basically, Rangoli is the art of drawing images and motifs on the floor and walls of one's home using different color powders. Designed with a beautiful combination of various colors, the Rangoli images create an enchanting piece of art. Basically a floor painting, a rangoli image stands for a sign of welcome. The main purpose of making rangolis in diwali is to welcome Goddess Laxmi, the Goddess of wealth, to individual homes apart from warding off the evil eye. The art of rangoli is known by different names in different regions such as "Rangoli" in Maharashtra, Alpana (in Bengal), and Kolam (in South India). Although Rangoli has its origins in Maharashtra, today it is practiced everywhere. One of the most popular arts among Indian women, rangoli is an age old custom of India, and practiced all over the country.


The Rangoli designs are passed down through generations, with some of them being hundreds of years old. Though the designs vary in different sections of India, the basic approach is common. The designs are geometric and proportioned. It has been a tradition in culturally rich India to draw Rangoli on the festivals and other auspicious occasions as it is considered a holy ritual. There is a unique relationship between the festival of diwali and rangoli. Diwali is a major festival of India and drawing rangoli on diwali is a part of diwali celebrations.

The patterns are made with finger using rice powder, crushed lime stone, or colored chalk. They may be topped with grains, pulses, beads, or flowers. Since the entire objective of making rangoli in diwali is to welcome Goddess Laxmi, small footprints coming into the home, representing the footprints of the Goddess, are also made. Rangolis can be of any size, from the size of a doormat, to the covering an entire room. Though making of a Rangoli is highly dependent on the preferences and skills of the maker, lines are always drawn on one finger movement (rangolis are always drawn with fingers) and frequently, the mapping of the rangoli is done with the help of dots, which are joined to form a pattern, and then the pattern is filled with colors. One important point is that the entire pattern must be an unbroken line, with no gaps to be left anywhere, for evil spirits are believed to enter through such gaps, if they find one. In an expert hand, the images created are elaborate and look as if they are painted. In India, this art is temporary. Each rangoli design generally stays for only a day or two as it is often redone as a part of the daily routine. Certain designs are created on special occasions such as weddings and religious festivals like Diwali.

Rangoli Decoration Themes

Rangoli designs are generally based on themes that have been in use through ages. The common rangoli themes are the celestial symbols such as the rising sun, moon, stars, zodiac signs, holy symbols like Om, mangal kalash, swastika, chakra, a lighted Deepak, trident, "shree", lotus etc. Goddess Lakshmi in the lotus symbolizes the figure of renewed life. Other popular themes are natural images like flowers, creepers, trees, fish, birds, elephants, dancing figures, human figures and geometrical figures such as circles, semi-circles, triangles, squares and rectangles. Drawing Diwali rangoli at the entrance door of individual homes is the common sight during Diwali decoration. For this, the footsteps of Goddess Lakshmi entering into the home are designed at the main entrance of the home or near the place of worship, which indicates the entrance of prosperity in the home. This is the special Diwali rangoli for the entrance. It is considered auspicious as it signifies showering of good luck and prosperity on the house and in the family.

Shopping in banglore

You’ll learn about three of Bangalore’s most popular areas for all sorts of shopping. You might get lost if you’re not careful, so it might be helpful to rope in someone reliable to help you navigate the area.

You’ll get just about everything here. There is Rex (the best movie theatre in town). There is Cyber Café (coffee and the Internet). You will find a bowling alley, a discothèque, a video game parlor, eating places (including The Only Place, which serves great steaks and desserts) and Nilgiri’s (which is a really good grocery store). There are showrooms for brands like Lee, Van Heusen, and Louis Phillippe. You can buy a lot of unbranded clothes, shoes and jewelry as well. There are malls like Fifth Avenue and Mota Royal Arcade, which are worth exploring. You’ll get a range of items and the stores range from low budget to exorbitant. Commercial Street This is a strictly shopping area. You won’t find entertainment outlets as you would on Brigade Road. Here, you can buy clothes, dress materials, jewelry, and food. Woody’s serves good South Indian food. They also have continental and North Indian items, but I personally suggest you go for the classic masala dosa. Nothing beats it! (Unless, perhaps, you make it everyday at home.) This place is definitely value for money. Coffee Day is popular with people of all ages. The ambience is excellent—informal, discreet and generally appealing. They have different kinds of coffee, and they also have items like sandwiches, pizzas and pies. And of course, you can surf the Internet. A friend of mine once told me that you could do just about anything there as along as you don’t burn the place down. That’s a little exaggerated, but the management does allow you a fair amount of freedom. You can ask them to play any cassettes that you may have brought along… Natural’s is heaven on earth for ice-cream lovers. For Rs.22, you can feast on the most delicious and exotic flavors imaginable. They use real fresh fruit in their ice cream. This is not to be missed. The Cakeshop of the Taj, with its pastries, cakes and patties, is located right next to Natural’s. Indulge your stomach by eating some of the Taj’s goodies, and topping it off with dessert at Natural’s! The side streets are definitely worth exploring. You never know what you might stumble upon. Clothes and jewelry here tend to be inexpensive, especially if they are unbranded. The clothes aren’t of particularly high quality, but if you’re not too snobbish about it, you’ll find some really good deals. Most people do not remember the names of the smaller stores, because it really does not matter. Just go ahead and look around! M.G. Road M.G.Road is a very popular commercial area. There is a large number of sari stores, like Deepam Silks and Prasiddhi. There are plenty of stores that sell saris as well as other clothes. The Raymond’s and Cotton World showrooms are located here. Go ahead and browse—as a shopper it’s your prerogative! courtesy by; http://www.virtualbangalore.com/ShpI/index.php#areas

Shopping in banglore

Commercial Street has many-many bi-lanes where you can spend hours on end simply looking at the goodies before you actually select on buying anything. Having a lot of bargain outlets, this is a great destination for college students who may have to make their wardrobes on a tight budget. Some of the shops sell their wares for as low as a dollar a piece (about 50 Indian rupees). That said and done, many fashion conscious people do go shopping here simply because of the variety of clothing available. Thos with a keen sense of style can put together quite an outfit, picking up different pieces of clothing from different outlets on the Commercial Street.

Dont forget to check out the different assortments of footwear, especially for women, while you are on Commercial Street.

So where else would you go shopping in Bangalore other than its famous Commercial Street? As the name suggests, it is one of the best places to go shopping in the city. Starting from clothes, footwear and accessories to digital cameras, this is where you need to head on a shopping spree in Bangalore.

Make delicious brownie

Things You'll Need:

• 2 boxes of Betty Crocker Original Supreme Brownie Mix
• 2 1/4 cup water
• 2 1/3 cup vegetable oil
• 4 eggs
• at least 1/2 cup of chocolate chips

1. 1

   Heat oven to 400 F. Grease bottom and sides of 13 x 9 inch pan with cooking spray or shortening. I prefer to use PAM myself.

2. 2

   In a medium bowl, stir brownie mix, pouch of chocolate syrup, 1/4 cup water, 1/3 cup oil, 2 eggs for 50-75 strokes. Add in 1/4 cup of chocolate chips. Pour into pan.

3. 3

   Repeat step 2 with the second box. Just reuse the same medium sized bowl.

4. 4

   Add some additional chocolate chips to the top of the pan, trying to spread them out somewhat evenly. You don't want them all clumped together in the middle!

5. 5

   Bake approximately 35-45 minutes or until toothpick comes out almost clean.

6. 6

   You only have to wait fifteen minutes if you enjoy your brownies nice and gooey and warm. Otherwise, cool completely and enjoy your death by chocolate brownies!

Tips & Warnings

• If the toothpick is inserted into a chocolate chip, it will certainly not come out clean even if the dessert is done.
• Make certain not to overcook the brownies. Better to slightly undercook than overkill.

WISH YOU HAPPY AND COLOURFUL SAFE DIWALI

Diwali diyas decoration

Diwali Diyas

Diwali or Deepawali is the festival of lights and sweetness. It is basically a symbol of the victory of good over evil, brightness over darkness, and truth over falsity. Each and every legend associated with this fabulous festival gives the same message. The thick dark new-moon (Amavasya) night on which the Diwali festival is celebrated, seems like a full-moon (Purnima) night, because of the effulgent light of numerous diyas or deepaks lighted on this night. These diyasnot only make Diwali, the festival of lights, but they also symbolize the supremacy and consequence of brightness over darkness. The same message is given by the Hindu Upanishads by saying, “Asato Ma Sadgamaya”. The lighted diyas on Diwali also remind us of the same teaching of the Upanishads.

Diya can be defined as a small earthen lamp that is specially lit on Diwali for pujan and decoration purposes. A cotton wick is used in diyas, and oil or ghee serves as the burning fuel. Diyas are plain and colored, big and small, simple and fancy, and so. Different types of diyas are appropriate for different applications. Children could also make their own diyas as a fun activity on Diwali. This could be done by using clay or dough. It is better not to use a wool wick in ghee diyas.

As the festive season approaches near, markets get flooded with various types of gifts, decoration, and puja items. The crafted and designer diyas are one of the big attractions in such markets. Diyas embellished with zari, painted patterns, mirrors, etc. are quite enticing by their very appearance. Diwali melas, markets, and haats, showcase a multitude of handcrafted items made by ceramic and handicraft artists throughout the country. Diwali diyas are one of the major attractions in such markets. Besides the conventional single spout diyas, multi spout diyas like 10, 11, and 21 spout diyas, and Laxmi-Ganesha diyas can be seen in Diwali markets. Also, multicolored and vibrant colored diyas present in diwali haats and diwali melas look fabulous.

However old may be the tradition of diyas on Diwali, it has never lost its significance and charm. Diwali celebrations are incomplete and graceless without the use of Diwali diyas. There is no doubt, diyas were, are, and will remain a significant part of the Diwali festival.
