Life inside a bubble felt safer, comfortable and reasonable.... though it’s taken a toll to not burst it deliberately. This is not (just) because I was a saint, but we knew it the hard way. Home schooling is somewhat a natural form of school, you know your kid the way you should. You see his or her potential more clearly. You make sure your kid doesn’t start practising a 9-5 routine, especially when they are too little and fragile— how much ever crazy they drive you. However, 90% of human Brain development takes place by the time you turn five. Thus, in my perspective, though painful, anything significantly new (and good, possibly needed for the future years) should be introduced by the fifth birthday. Not sure if I want to walk the talk. To thrive, academia isn’t the key. Academia at a young age is absolutely overrated. There is a reason for this, in the previous generations. I won’t get to it now.

Note: Weak rule. 2) Perpendicular Lines of Life - We think alike just once..but that's okay since we get to meet at the "right" time (right angles).. 3) Curvy Vs Straight lines of Life - One person is really focu...
Vande Mataram (My obeisance to Mother India!).. -> Indian National Song So much of History behind these sweet lines? Wow.. I used to think.. " Aug 15 was all about a day off from school.. chocolates and meeting people for a flag hosting" . Look at the way I specify the main event(flag hosting) at the end!! Anyway.. dwelling deep into the history behind the beautiful lines.. It is generally believed that the concept of Vande Mataram came to Bankimchandra Chattopadhyay when he was still a government official under the British Raj. Around 1870, the British rulers of India had declared that singing of "God Save the Queen" (National Anthem of the U.K) would be mandatory.He wrote it in a spontaneous session using words from two languages he was expert in, Sanskrit and Bengali. However, the song was initially highly criticized for the difficulty in pronunciation of some of the words.The song first appeared in Bankimchandra Chattopadhyay's book Anandamatha (pro...
