2minutes on CHILDREN: THE ASSETS OF A NATION

The wealth of a nation is not so much in its economical and natural resources, but in the quality of the children. Children are like clay, who can be molded into the most desirable way as they are the sure rein holders of tomorrow. They have boundless stores of energy, willpower, capability, zeal and enthusiasm. The nation develops faster if its children develop better. India has the largest child and youth population in the world. It is therefore, the responsibility of the society to engage youth into playing a constructive role and educate them morally, culturally and academically.

But nowadays, the mindset of people has taken a negative shift. Children are not viewed as nation builders but as sources with financial returns. In most cases, both the parents these days are working, which in turn, makes family time reduced to nothing and the child becomes morally weak and prone to depressions.

It is therefore very necessary to develop a child according to his tastes. Greta Thunberg is a common example on how, when children are set free to pursue the ideas in their minds, they have the strength to bring about a change in the world.

"Just like a rose plant has to be trimmed for the best blossoms, a child needs to be pruned to its baser instincts in order to be beneficial and become an asset for the nation and its future."

AN ESSAY - My Most Memorable Railway Journey

Railways are the nation’s favorite long-distance commuter. It is very affordable and I have been traveling by train from time immemorial. Railways have always felt welcome. My most memorable journey was along a route I travel very often. The Anuppur-Ambikapur route has some really obscure railway stations of Chhattisgarh. I was travelling to my grandparents’ place. What made this journey memorable was its timing. We usually travelled at night. But this time, it was a day run. The journey was simply amazing. The route cuts through hilly areas. With numerous tunnels, bridges and a little brook here and there, the journey was a feast for my eyes. The stations and the people were a completely different story. Ever heard of a junction that doesn’t sell tickets, visit Boridand. Or a station that provides tickets on small yellow hard-paper cards, visit Nagpur Rd. The Chhattisgarhi people are quiet, but you feel the hidden energy in them when you approach a station. The language they speak

2minutes speech on TEACHER'S DAY 2020

The mere fact that we are all connected in this event makes me feel so elated and motivated to express my thoughts on this unconventional yet eventful day today. Good Morning and a very happy Teacher's Day to all. A teacher is someone who teaches, and mind you, it is not just academics. Not everyone can be a teacher, because despite everything what a teacher teaches first is the way of life. Though teachers day is globally celebrated on 5th October, in India we celebrate it on 5th of September, to commemorate the birth anniversary of Dr. S Radhakrishnan , the second president of Republic of india and a profound teacher himself. He believed that "children are the future of the nation and it is only in the teachers hands that could shape it". It is well said that "Adversity shows one's potential". These crucial times had their unique problems. We had to change our methods, increase
