Today I participated in the official opening of S A Children Academy, Semgra Chauraha, Jaitapur – Bahraich. LIC Chief Manager Sri T R Mishra cut a ribbon to launch the school. The manager of the school Sri Saket Kumar Tiwari and Principal Sri Anuj Shukla welcomed the guests and made a firm commitment to the high goal that the school is to attain. Then followed a ceremony before a crowd of two hundred people. The Chief then gave the inaugural speech. Sri Ranjul Jayant Gautam, ABM Sales LIC Bahraich, addressed the assembled company. Sri Santosh Kumar Shukla, Lecturer in English, made a speech on the importance of education. Raghvendra Tripathi, a well-known poet of the district, read his poems. The audience cheered and clapped. Addressing to the people, I said, “The first eight years of life are a period of rapid development of brain structures and function or the development in infancy and early childhood is the most advanced period of child’s development. Proper child care and their

William Shakespeare was a great story teller because his stories, consisting of real incidents of life rather than imaginary notwithstanding, are very, very interesting and also because his plays are not mere stories of kings and queens but the pictures of varying human minds. They put true examples of how a particular type of person will respond in a particular situation. Now that they warn us of the consequences of various character flaws, they show us the successful ways of life. Now to talk of Leo Tolstoy, who owed his genius to his experiences, his greatness as a story teller cannot be overlooked. He was a moralist but not impractical. In fact, no one else could ever go as deep into human life studying the darkest corners of it as he did. He puts both moral and immoral ways of life with their effects on the society side by side and leaves for the readers to see which to choose. If we call him saint, it would not be an exaggeration, for he saw God behind every action, or rather be

Nobody can see God until he takes off the glasses of religious fanaticism. If you have got to see what the Supreme Being is, climb on the peak of neutral thoughts and examine all that is biased below. The sense of right and wrong differs from community to community. The law of nature ignores them all. Love and hatred are not under our control, as we cannot force ourselves to love anything that we do not want to, nor can we make ourselves hate the thing we actually love. So for as God is concerned, He is not one thing or other – he is all, the Infinite Being, the father of all, the mother of all – and we cannot help loving Him. Today when hypocrisy has given our politics and religion such a bad name, we need to know our ancient form of politics and religion. Leftist and rightist or conservatism and liberalism are not the things that were originated in India. These are the infectious diseases which we received from other countries that either invaded India or came here to trade

There is an old man of my acquaintance who retired from state service about three years ago. He has a habit of going for a walk in the morning and therefore I often come across him in some street. The most remarkable thing I have noticed in him is his regular practice to switch off the pole lights that he saw to be left on even after the sun rise. This has made me relate his mind-set with that of those politicians who never hesitate to make the mess of the national resources just for their own ends. There lived a family in a colony. One day a new family came to live in the flat opposite theirs. The wife led her husband to the window. “These newcomers are country bumpkins – look, how dirty are those clothes hanging in the veranda,” said the wife to her husband, pointing to the clothes which they could see through their windowpane. “You may be right, darling,” replied the husband. “But I wonder if you could clean your own windowpane. I think you will find those clothes clean.” Pol
