Editorial ….
“Everyone is a genius. But, if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it
will spend its whole life believing it is stupid”
- Albert Einstein
Every human being on this earth is a genius. They are exceptionally intelligent
and brilliant in a natural ability. If that natural ability is kindled and nurtured,
they might perform exceptionally well. One cannot force an athlete liable to run
marathons to score a centum in science or performer who dances gracefully to
launch a rocket. It is the duty of every parent and teacher to identify the talents
of their wards and encourage them to pursue it.
Parents always wish the best for their children. But, they should also
understand that the children have their own dreams and aspirations. They have
their own strength and weakness. Similarly, a teacher has to create a future for
the each and every individual. The teacher should realize that all students are
not the same. Every student is unique in their resource fullness. It is up to the
teacher to enhance the ability in every child and not condemn them for their
inability.
Every talent profiled becomes the strength,
Every strength impelled becomes a habit,
Every habit is impelled becomes a skill,
Every skill practiced becomes the competency,
Every competency recapitulated becomes the proficiency of a person.
Sometimes, enthusiastic teachers insist on academic performance to a
basketball player and a voracious singer to excel in science. If M.S. Dhoni was
graded on his mathematical ability, he would not be the greatest captain in the
cricket industry. Let us join hands and encourage the talents of every child. Let’s
applaud when every fish swims across oceans and not condemn it for its
inefficiency to climb the tree!

“If we teach today’s students as we taught yesterday, we rob them of
tomorrow”, American philosopher and Education Reformer, John
Dewey is said to have made this statement about a century ago.
Look back at the teachers we found inspiring at our early age. Were
they the ones who scrupulously adhered to the completion of
syllabi? Was it the way in which they maintained strict discipline in
class? Were they the ones who burdened us with loads of
homework? The characteristics that we remember and cherish about our beloved
teachers is how they connected with us, how they personally touched
our hearts with endearing love and care, how they rekindled our
probing minds towards critical thinking. We adore the ones who
respect our individuality, complexity, uniqueness, and capacity for
making choices, humanness and the dignity of the individual. The role of the teacher educator today when we live in a post-truth
era and age of information overload is to trigger a critical thinking
among our students. One thing that seems to come to us naturally
and easily is the ability to be critical to identity what is wrong with
something and point it out on the state of the world, the behaviour of
our neighbours, the facilities in our institutions, the design of the
syllabus and the unfairness in social life. Being critical of something
is quite different from taking a critical approach to something. The first only requires us to be able to compare what is to what
should be, or to see to what extend something meets a certain
standard. A critical approach, on the other hand, is about applying a
deeper level of analysis and discernment to the task, to go beneath
the surface and try to understand why something is the way it is. I desire that the formatters of Loyola College of Education nurture in
the students the spirit of a deliberate, reflective and independent
process of critically looking at any phenomenon and trying to
understand it without bias and prejudice. I wish everyone to be the
beacon of light, harbinger of hope, and channel of creative energy
among the students.

From the Principal’s Desk…
Dear Readers,
We are living in times where the pace of events is fast indeed. So fast in fact that today’s
latest becomes obsolete tomorrow. Life is a process of constant change and constant changes
are a must for all healthy communities to build for the future. In educating today’s children
we cannot afford to lose the sight of the fact that we must teach them to grapple with the
problems of this generation, their society and their world. Yesterday’s solution to today’s
problem would not suffice. The children of today need to be readied for the global stage to
compete with the best brains in the world. This is exactly what we aim at LCE and teach our
student-teachers. We wish to make education at our college, a total experience where
students slog for academic excellence, participate in all college activities with enthusiasm
and actively involve themselves in community service. LCE of tomorrow must retain the
capacity and creativity to adapt itself to the needs of the time without sacrificing the good
and time honoured ideals and moral values. “Ever forward and never to look back” should be
our spirit to take LCE reach its greatest height.
I deeply appreciate the editorial board for working hard to bring out this wonderful magazine
at a short duration. My sincere thanks to all who have contributed either directly or indirectly
to Formators’ Chronicle 2017.
“Life is all about CHANCES and OPPORTUNITIES. Never leave anything to CHANCE
and never let an OPPORTUNITY get away.”
With best wishes and God’s blessings!

THEATRE PEDAGOGY
An intensive eight day Workshop on Theatre Pedagogy was organised from August
22nd
to 29th
for the first years. The workshop, as an effective catalyst, facilitated the students to
come out of their shells, to get rid of their inhibitions and finally to familiarise with others. It
exposed them to different theatre techniques that could be used as a strategic tool for effective
teaching-learning. The participants involved themselves in it whole-heartedly and they found it
very useful.

A six-day rural exposure as part of Citizenship Training Camp, was organised from
September 25th
to 30th
in three different places such as Vettavalam, Tindivanam and
Kilpennathur for the first year student-teachers to give them on-site experience of the social
reality. They gained critical awareness of stark realities of the rural society and learnt to adapt to
every life situation. This rural experience made them realise their social responsibility towards
serving the human communities devotedly.
VISIT TO HOMES OF THE DIFFERENTLY ABLED
The student-teachers visited the Homes for the Differently Abled at Anna Nagar and
Royapuram and Special Schools for the Visually Challenged and the Hearing Impaired at Gemini
Flyover. The experience taught them to be very compassionate and gentle in relating with the
special children.

play. The four important components of a performer- tone, body language,
emotions and properties/costumes was emphasized. The students were divided into
five groups and ask to enact. Then Mr. M. Shanmuga Raja explained the
importance of emotion from the perspective of a performer. When speaking of a
classroom, He mentioned how it is important for the teacher to recognize, recall,
analyses, reflect and apply the contents of the lessons that are taught to the students
for the teaching to be effective. Major pedagogy techniques such as Context
building action, Narrative action, and Poetic Action and Reflective action were
introduced to the students. The devices that fall under Context building are sound
tracking, games, defining space, costuming, still images and unfinished materials.
Under Narrative action reportage, Teacher in role, story-telling, mantle of the
expert, a day in life, and overhead conversation are used. Masks, forum theatre,

Report
Initially the activities which were done in the class had started up with a
„Trial teaching experience‟ wherein each one of us were allotted certain grammar
topics and were asked to teach to acquire a fair excellence towards our teaching
practice. Later on, as a part of the English club activity, the club members had
conducted a „Spell Bee Contest‟, for students to get exposed and reframed to
various kinds of vocabulary terms; ranging from easy, over to intermediate and
advanced levels. Then, as a part of the curriculum, we were open into modelling
many creative arts such as „Designing a Birthday Card‟ in an innovative manner.
On the day of one‟s birthday, the class will sign the card and present it to that
student. We learnt on the various forms of writing skills through creating „An
Album on Mechanics of Writing‟ which included capital letters, cursive and
calligraphy formats, designing various kinds of teaching aids such as sock puppet,
paper cup puppets, models (both working and non-working). We had also made
certain flashcards, mind-maps and „An Album on Blackboard Sketches‟ to
exhibit to the school students; both in a theoretical and pictorial format, during the
teaching process to transform the learning into a reliable and more informative
sense.
An international seminar conceptualizing „Sustainable Developmental Goals
(SDG)‟ was organized by Loyola College of Education. The first years and second
years had presented their research papers on informative topics such as „Body
Language‟, „Current Mobile Apps for Teaching and Learning of English as a
Second Language‟. As a part of the English Forum, „A Literary Quiz‟, „Role –
Reversal‟ and a „Hangman‟ activity was conducted.
The first activity the club organized was „Theatre‟. The theme given was
Fantasy and each group was given a fairy tale to enact. Rapunzel, Snow White,
92
Beauty and the Beast, Sleeping Beauty were the fairy tales enacted by each group.
All the groups performed their respective fairy and it was videotaped. Then,
students learnt „Poetry Recitation‟. The poems were also recited orally in class.
This activity helped us to recite the poem with correct intonation, rhythm, pause,
stress and perfect pronunciation.
The poems were: A Fairy Song by Shakespeare, Land of Birth Pledge to
Thee by Rupyard Kipling, My Last Apology by Manraj, Out in the Fields with
God by Elizabeth Barret Browning.
The essential feature for an English teacher is Spoken English. The
department organized was „Classroom English‟. Every English teacher was
encouraged to use English only in the classroom. The members in the groups have
to practice 5 sentences with the teacher. Another important aspect, a teacher should
possess is „Good handwriting‟. The students were asked to practice cursive
handwriting in a four-lined notebook. It was corrected by the teacher and the
mistakes are rectified. As students of Literature, they were fond of books. So, a
„Mini Library‟ was initiated and books were collected. A total of 100 books were
collected. The idea of preparing „Book Marks‟ was introduced to the students.
Every student was asked to prepare a book mark based on their innovation and
creativity.

FOCAL VIEWS OF TEACHING - NEED OF THE HOUR
FOCAL VIEWS OF TEACHING - NEED OF THE HOUR
FOCAL VIEWS OF TEACHING - NEED OF THE HOUR
“To learn is to know, to know is to understand, to understand is to
teach and to teach is to learn” – Alexander Duma.
Learning is a continuous process which starts in the cradle and ends in the
grave. Nevertheless teaching is a simple complex fine art. It is simple when we
see the children as they are, it becomes complex when we see them as we want
them to be, it becomes a fine art when we walk with them as a team member
and treat them as allies and not as strangers. Therefore, our teaching must be
centripetal not centrifugal.
In a botanical view, teaching is like a process of hybridization. The
teacher and pupil come together and learn together for a number of years and
the close intellectual interaction between them will result in a new personality
among both. When the Tall (TT) and Dwarf (tt) Mango trees hybridized, the
result product will be Tall (Tt). Likewise the Teacher (TT) and Pupil (tt)
process, the end product will be TtortT– Teacher (Tt). Many teachers are those
who use themselves as bridges, over which they invite their students to cross;
then having facilitated their crossing, joyfully collapse, encouraging them to
create bridges of their own.
109
Teaching is a wonderful process which can be viewed in three dimensions:
Telescopic view:
Telescope is an instrument used to view the objects which are present in far-off
places. Vice versa all the teachers need views of dreaming their students’ future.
“Dream, Dream, Dream
Dreams transform into thoughts,
And thoughts result in action” Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam
Success is a matter of choice and not chance.One of the most important and
valuable laws of successful living is the power of positive thinking. Positive
thinking means having the right perception of life. The positive attitude is the
outward manifestation of the mind that dwells primarily on positive matters. It
is a mindset tipped in the form of creative activity. The positive attitude is that
state of mind which can be maintained only through conscious effort. So dream
for positive attitude will comes true one day.
Spectacle view:
Spectacles are wornto rectify the problem in eyesight. With the help of
spectacles, one can view the objects clearly and avoid the errors. Vice versa,
Motivation is the rectifying spectacle of failures.
110
“The quality of a person’s life is directly proposition to their
commitment to excellence, regardless of their chosen field of
endeavor”. – Vince Lombardi
Motivation is the willingness of an individual to do something.The greatest
motivation comes from a person’s belief system. That means he needs to
believe in what he does and accepts responsibility.When people accept
responsibility for their behaviour and actions their attitudes towards life become
positive. Motivation is the driving force in our lives. It comes from a desire to
succeed and it comes from the burning desire to achieve a purpose. Motivation
is like fire – unless you keep adding fuel to it, it dies. Just like exercise and food
don’t last long, neither does motivation.
Microscopic view:
Microscope is used to view the objects which are very minute which cannot be
viewed through our naked eye. Like that the teacher must sensitize the student’s
mind to the happenings around him as well as the inward personality, interest,
aim, desire and ambition.
“Everyone thinks of changing the world but no one thinks of
changing of changing themselves.”
– Leo Tolstoy
Macroscopic view will be based on the study of overall behavior or gross
behavior of a student’s performance but microscopic view will help to gain
deeper understanding of the wards behavioral modification and potential to
excel in holistic development. So plan purposefully, prepare properly, proceed
positively and pursue persistently. Our teaching must inspire to work hard as
well as to work smart. We are teaching the third generation students through the
second generation methods by the first generation teachers. Hence, we must act
as a booster rocket to place the pupil’s mind at a higher orbit (level) of
111
reflective thinking. Subsequently our class must be a fascinating medley of
matter, method, mind and mood with thevision and mission. Without mission
we wander like a drifting cloud carried by the direction of the wind. Therefore,
we must know our-self, own our-self and changeour-selffor effective teaching
and learning process.

Listening means to get information from the speaker by paying attention.
The information is heard through ears and sent to brain for processing to make
proper understanding. Listening is important for all ages and all situations. The
baby in mother’s womb hears the first sound in 18 weeks of conception. Hence,
listening is inseparable in everyone’s life. The more a person listens to good
information, the more chances to become knowledgeable, because knowledge is all
about collection of useful information. Even though two ears and one mouth are
provided, most of the times many people tend to talk than to listen. With regard to
students, it becomes a challenge to listen to teachers and to sustain their attention
in listening for hours together. There are numerous reasons behind ineffective
listening. But here is a mantra to be followed to enhance listening and become a
better listener. Because, listening plays a vital role in student’s learning. In order to
become more knowledgeable if students follow ABCD as given below, this would
enable them to become better listeners.
Become Better Listener: Follow ‘ABCD’
113
AActivate brain
B Be open minded
C Concentrate Completely
D Deaf ear to distraction
1. Activate brain
The brain should be ready to receive the information. Students at times
physically present but mentally absent in classroom. Hence, conscious efforts are
necessary to activate the brain.
2.Be open minded
Many times poor listening and miscommunication happens because of lack
of open mindedness. Open mindedness helps a person to respect other’s thoughts
and also avoids pre occupation of thoughts in mind.
3. Concentrate completely
Listening is possible through complete concentration which automatically
activates the brain and removes the mental block of judging others as they speak.
4. Deaf ear to distractions
Distractions are of two kinds as external and internal. External distraction is
visual and auditory stimuli from environment. Internal distraction is self talk in
mind either judging the speaker or thinking about something. Effective learning
requires a deaf ear to all these distractions.
114
If anyone takes conscious efforts to activate the brain, be open minded to
accept the speaker’s view point, pay focused concentration and show deaf ear to
distractions, effective learning is possible which enhances knowledge level of a
person. The same ABCD could be used to improve reading skills in a person.
Follow ABCD become better listener and reader.
Mrs. M. Caroline Maria
Asst. Prof. in Education.

We all want to be happy. But we
sometimes think of happiness as a
thing that happens to us — something
we have no control over. It's easy to
link the idea of happiness with the
situation we are in. A big part of how
happy we are depends on our mind-
set, the habits we practice, and the way we live each day. By learning the key
ingredients of happiness, we can use them to become happier. The people in our
lives matter. Good relationships are one of the best ways to enjoy happiness,
health, and well-being. To maintain a good relationships, need 3 A’s in our life.
A- Accept others as they are
Accepting people does not itself mean agreeing with them, approving of them,
waiving your own rights, or down playing their impact upon you.
1. Watch your thoughts. Think about what you're thinking about.
2. Look for the positive. Not accepting others is a result of seeing the
negative in them. Instead of focusing on why someone is different, focus
on what's good about that person and his/her choices and actions.
3. Avoid right/wrong dichotomies. It's very tempting to see the world in
black and white with a right and wrong way to do things, but that's just not
how it is. Things don't have to be right or wrong if you choose to accept
them as they are. Stop labelling my way as "right."
“You’re only here for a short visit. Don’t hurry, don’t
worry. And be sure to smell the flowers along the way.”
To lead a Happy life, say YES to 3 A’s
116
4. Stop judging yourself. Our judgments of others are often a result of our
personal criticisms. If I stop putting pressure on myself to do things the
"right" way, I'll also stop putting pressure on others as well. Not judging
myself or others is a crucial step to acceptance.
5. Focus on the now. A lack of acceptance can generate from comparing
things to the past. Don’t think about what happened before and try to live
accordingly; Think about now. Comparing things to the past always
hinders an acceptance of what is.
6. Reverse the situation. Ask yourself: What if someone were judging me
and not accepting me? How would I feel? Keep these questions in your
mind always.
A- Adjustment
1. Improve your listening skills: Polish your listening skills as much as you can if
you really want to adjust as soon as possible. Being a good listener has its own
perks. A good listener is most of the time problem solver which tends to captivate
most of the people around you. Listening skills also show you as an intelligent
person who knows what to speak and when. Being a new comer to the
organization, prevent yourself from getting into any argument with your co-
workers or seniors. Always listen, think and then speak.
2. Learn acceptance rather than arguing: While you may feel that you are in the
right while another person is wrong, don't get angry about it. You can't change
other people and you most certainly can't stomp over their perspectives as if they
always see things wrongly. Accepting that someone else carries a different opinion
from you is not agreement; it is acknowledgement that there are other ways of
seeing the world and that not everything has a wrong and right way of being seen.
117
3. Keep Calm and Persistent: Even if things are not going as smoothly as you
wished them to be, do not give upon your efforts. The persisting dedication of
yours towards your work will pay off, you just have to maintain your patience
level. Do not over burden yourself with anxieties; keep calm as much as you can.
This will help you in understanding things and have a better amount of focus in
your work.
A- Appreciate Others:
1. Everyone wants to feel appreciated. For many, appreciation is just saying thank
you. But appreciation only begins with saying thanks. True appreciation is not only
recognizing someone’s excellent efforts and contribution. The term actually means
“to recognize and enjoy” a person’s value or good qualities. It means showing
respect and understanding as well as gratitude. Here are simple ways you can show
real appreciation for others and make their day a bit better.
2. A small gesture respecting someone’s comfort and convenience can mean a lot.
If you are heading the break room, offer to take the other person’s empty coffee
cup with you. The gesture requires little additional efforts for you, but removes a
burden for them and makes their day just a bit happier.
3. Acknowledge an Absence: If someone goes on vacation or is out on sick or
personal leave that creates a vacuum. It is easy to be annoyed or resentful about the
extra workload. Instead, happily pick up some of the slack, and when the person
returns, tell them how much there were missed and that their particular
contribution is important. They will work that much harder if they know others see
and value their efforts.
118
4. Offer Public Praise: It feels good to be told, "You did an awesome job". It
feels even better to hear it in front of other people. Look for opportunities to pay
small at meetings, or in the hallway.
5. Celebrate the Milestones: Birthdays are just the beginning. Work
anniversaries, getting engaged and professional milestones are important. Your
colleagues probably don't expect to be showered with gifts, but everyone likes
when others remember the milestones and stop to say "congratulations" or "many
happy returns!"
Miss. R. Sridevi,
Assistant Professor of Mathematics
Happiness is a choice, not a result. Nothing will make you happy until you
choose to be happy. No person will make you happy unless you decide to
be happy. Your happiness will not come to you. It can only come from you.

Introduction
Social media involves online interactions between Internet users. By using these platforms,
people interact with each other, share information, and upload pictures. Examples of different
social media platforms are Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and LinkedIn. New social media sites
come into existence regularly, so the landscape continues to evolve. People use it to connect with
friends and family, meet new people, share information, share photos and videos, and for
entertainment. When used correctly, these social media sites can be an effective way to engage
with others and maintain connections. On the other hand, social media sites can be dangerous
especially for children and teens.
Inherent Dangers
Social media involves a number of risks for people of all ages. Children can be especially
vulnerable to these dangers. While it’s enjoyable to communicate with others online, the
anonymity involved with these interactions can be problematic. Child predators often troll these
websites in search of victims. Because children often don’t understand these dangers, they may
make mistakes in their Internet conduct. Uploading personal pictures online can be risky,
especially suggestive photos. Once a photo is uploaded online, it’s impossible to delete its
presence completely. Anyone could have access to a photo. Child predators may pose as peers to
entice kids into interacting with them. A trusting child may share personal information such as an
address, giving a predator the means of in-person contact.
Teaching Kids Internet Safety
Any child who spends time on the Internet needs to learn about safety and dangers involved with
this connectivity. Parents should explain the wide audience involved with the Internet to ensure
that children understand how it works. For example, a child might think that uploading a photo
onto a social media sites only involves few group of people. However, if the child’s privacy
settings are not configured correctly, the photo could be accessible to a large number of people.
Children should never share personal information with anyone online. Teach children not to
interact with people online who they do not know in person.
Monitoring Usage
To maintain ongoing safety, parents must monitor and supervise children’s Internet activities.
Keep computers in common areas of the house, and supervise online time. Tell children that you
will be checking their Internet history from time to time to ensure their safety. When kids access
the Internet through mobile devices, insist on having access to the devices periodically to
monitor activity. Some parents utilize parental controls on computers to limit children’s activities
on the Internet.
Be aware…Connect with care
125
These programs will allow you to restrict web browsers from visiting certain types of websites.
For example, websites with adult content could be placed on a restricted list so children can’t
access these websites. Some programs also institute special tracking features and timers to ensure
that children follow the time limits for computer usage. Tell children that anytime they feel
uncomfortable interacting with someone online, encourage them to come to you for help.
How can you make sure you and your information stay safe online? This Social Media Guide to
help you safely navigate the social media world.

Social Media Tips for Students
As a student, you are more than accustomed to using the Internet in your everyday life, but the
risks that come with that use could greatly impact you and your future.
BEWARE O F WHAT YOU POSTONLINE
No matter what social media platform you use, consider the type of information you
choose to share with others. Here are the common cyber risks you may face when using
social media:
Sharing sensitive information. Sensitive information includes anything that can help a
person steal your identity or find you, such as your full name, Social Security number,
address, birth date, phone number, or where you were born.
Posting questionable content. Remember future employers may look at your social
media accounts before hiring you. Questionable content can include pictures, videos, or
opinions that may you seem unprofessional or mean and can damage your reputation or
future prospects.
Tracking your location. Many social media platforms allow you to check in and
broadcast your location, or automatically adds your location to photos and posts.
126
Simple Tips
Remember, there is no ‘Delete’ button on the Internet. Think before you post, because
even if you delete a post or picture from your profile only seconds after posting it,
chances are some one still save it.
Don’t broadcast your location. Location or geo-tagging features on social networks is
not the safest feature to activate. You could be telling a stalker exactly where to find you
or telling a thief that you are not home.
Connect only with people you trust. While some social networks might seem safer for
connecting because of the limited personal information shared through them, keep
your connections to people you know and trust.
Keep certain things private from everyone. Certain information should be kept
completely off your social networks to begin with. While it’s fun to have everyone
wish you a happy birthday, or for long-lost friends to reconnect with you online,
listing your date of birth with your full name and address gives potential identity
thieves pertinent information. Other things to keep private include sensitive pictures
or information about friends and family. Just because you think something is
amusing does not mean you should share it with the world.
Speak up if you’re uncomfortable. If a friend posts something about you that makes
you uncomfortable or you think is inappropriate, let him or her know. Likewise, stay
open- minded if a friend approaches you because something you’ve posted makes
him or her uncomfortable. People have different tolerances for how much the world
knows about them, and it is important to respect those differences. Also report any
instances of cyber bullying you see.
Social Media Tips for Parents
As a parent, you have are sponsibility to help teach your kids about online safety. But when
they’re using sites you’ve never heard of, what do you do?
BE AWARE OF WHAT YOUR KIDS POST ONLINE
Understandthecyberriskskidsfacewhenusingsocialmedia.Talktoyourkidsaboutthe followingrisks:
127
What they are posting: Talk to your kids about the information they post online. Manyof
them don’t understand the damage they could do to their reputation or future prospects with
unkind or angry posts, and compromising photos or videos. Ensure your kids are not sharing or
posting:
Sensitive information: Sensitive information includes anything that can help a person
steal your child’s identity or find them, such as their/your full name, Social Security number,
address, birthdate, phone number, or place of birth.
Compromising content: This includes photos or status updates that may damage your child’s
reputation or future prospects.
Unkind or angry content: This includes anything malicious directed at themselves or another
person, as well as opinions that are probably better left unshared.
Who they are connecting with: Social media allows kids to connect with their friends, but
there is also a risk of connecting with someone they do not know or who is only pretending to be
a kid.
What level of privacy they are using: Many social media platforms have privacy settings that
allow users to limit who sees their content. There are also settings for location tracking and geo-
tagging of photos or statuses.
SIMPLE TIPS FOR PARENTS
Talk to your children. Help your children understand the importance of owning their digital
lives and only sharing things that will not put them in danger, negatively affect their future, or harm
others.
Emphasize the concept of credibility to teens: not everything they see on the Internet is
true and people on the Internet may not be who they appear to be.
Watch for changes in behavior. If your child suddenly avoids the computer, it may be a sign
they are being bullied or stalked online.
Review security settings and privacy policies for the social media sites kids frequent.
These settings are frequently updated so check back regularly.
Cybersecurity Tips for Bloggers
Blogging is becoming an increasingly popular pastime among In d i an s. It is an easy way to
share opinions, keep up with family and friends, and connect with others. Whether you blog
occasionally or blogging is your full-time job, follow these cyber security tips to help keep you
and your information safe.
128
COMMON CYBER SECURITY ISSUES FOR BLOGGERS
Data privacy: Blogging can be a very personal activity, with bloggers sharing their
opinions, daily activities and photos. Sharing these types of personal information may seem
harmless, but hackers and other malicious actors can use this information to gain access to your
online accounts. People and companies can also take your photos for a variety of uses, including in
advertisements or other social media profiles and blogs.
Harassment and threats: Unfortunately, not everyone is nice on the Internet. People,
usually acting anonymously, can leave threatening or harassing comments and messages on
blogs. Think twice about the information you are posting and be aware that putting information in
the public domain may expose you to feedback from others who do not share your views.
SIMPLE TIPS
Remember, there is no delete but to none the Internet. Think before you post. Even if you
delete your content, someone could have saved it or taken a screen shot. Before posting, ask
yourself: “Am I comfortable with sharing this information with the whole world?”
Keep it private. If you are blogging for fun and not trying to make a living, consider keeping
your blog private so that only people you invite or approve can see what you post. Many blogging
services allow you to control whether or not your blog is visible to the public or searchable on
search engines.
Keep it anonymous. If you want to keep your blog public, consider blogging under a
pseudonym. Do not share the real names of your family or friends. Do not share information that
can help people find out where you live or work? Think about what photos you share and if these
photos include people who have not consented to having their images shared online.
Take special care when sharing photos of your children. Posting about your children
makes it harder for them to control their digital lives and privacy as they get older. And
information you post about them can be used by criminals to steal their identity. In 2012, 26
percent of identity theft victims were between the ages of six and ten, and identity theft has
doubled in the past year for children age five and younger.
Control the comments. Some blogging platforms allow you to manage the comments
section, allowingyoutoreviewandapprovecommentsbeforetheyappearonyourposts. This
would prevent spam comments (often including malicious links) and harassing
comments. Or you may be able to disable the comments feature entirely.
Protect your blog from hackers. The most effective way to do this is to set strong
passwords that are long and unique. Use two-factor authentication whenever it is
129
available. Also ensure your computer’s operating system, software, and anti-virus
protections are updated.
Back up your data. Regularly back up your data to a hard drive or the cloud. This
ensures your data is protected and available should a hacker or malware delete content
from your machine or online.
Report suspicious or harassing activity. Work with your blogging service to report and
possibly block harassing users. Report serious threats to law enforcement.
Conclusion
Social media is a really convenient and important communicate network for all the
people nowadays. Social media changed our life so much. Our life became more
convenient because social media is a very useful tool for us in 21st century, it could help
us to improve our life. However, we have to aware of how we use them. If we could use

Accountability is an essential precondition of any sustained human relationship.
Accountability at work is important to a success as a whole. Management consultant Todd Herman
defined personal accountability as "being willing to answer … for the outcomes resulting from your
choices, behaviors, and actions."
SMART Goals:
A great way to foster accountability in the workplace is to have your employees set SMART goals
for themselves.
SMART goals are...
Specific
Measurable
Achievable,
Results-Oriented
And
Time-Bound.
Having goals that meet these criteria will allow to feel more able in the work we are doing. It
is a way for us to measure our own productivity.
Personal accountability:
Personal accountability is the belief that you are fully responsible for your own actions and
consequences. It's a choice, a mindset and an expression of integrity.
How to Be More Accountable!
Personal accountability isn’t a trait that people are born with, it’s a way of living that you can
learn. Use the strategies below to become more accountable:
Be Accountable
131
Know Your Role!
It’s hard to be personally accountable if you're not clear what you’re responsible for. To
become more accountable, make sure that you're clear about your roles and responsibilities.
Be Honest!
Success in life only comes when you’re completely honest with yourself, and with others.
This means setting aside your pride, and admitting when you’ve made a mistake. So, tune into your
"gut feelings" when things are difficult, and learn to ask for help if you’re struggling, so that you
don’t let others down.
Make Changes!
Accountability can open up powerful learning opportunities. When something hasn’t gone to
plan, ask for feedback, and look for ways to do things differently in the future.
Reflect on your actions:
Spend some time at the end of each day running through these simple questions:
What could I have done differently today?
How can I build this change into my job from now on?
In time, you’ll build new skills and better ways to deal with difficult situations.

Truth be told, when hard times hit, and the challenges you face are great, you can either let your
situation define you, let it destroy you or let it strengthen you. The choice is yours to make.
1. Pain is part of life and love, and it helps you grow.
Pain is meant to wake us up. Yet we try to hide our pain. Pain is something to carry
willingly, just like good sense. Because you can only learn how strong you are when being
strong is the only choice you have. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you – your own
reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you’re letting the lies of insecurity destroy
your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel pain – to endure it – to own your scars –
to deal with the realities of life and love, as you grow into the strongest, wisest, truest version of
yourself.
“That which does not kill us makes us stronger.”
- Friedrich Nietzsche
133
2. Mindset is half the battle.
Do not let negativity wear off on you. Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness. Even
though others may disagree with you, take pride in the fact that you still know the world to be a
beautiful place. Change your thoughts and you change your reality.
3. Your biggest fears don’t really exist.
You CAN beat fear if you face it. Be courageous! And remember that courage
doesn’t mean you don’t get afraid; courage means you don’t let fear stop you from moving
forward with your life.
4. You are growing through experience.
Experience is what you get when your plans don’t go as planned, and experience is the most
valuable commodity you own – it builds your strength. You have the power to turn your wounds
and worries into wisdom; you just have to do something about them. You have to accept what
has happened and use what you’ve learned to step forward. Everything you’ve experienced has
given you the upper hand for dealing with everything you have yet to experience.
5. You can’t change situations you don’t take responsibility for.
Sigmund Freud once said, “Most people do not really want freedom, because freedom
involves responsibility, and most people are frightened of responsibility.” When you blame
others for what you’re going through, you deny responsibility – you surrender power over that
part of your life.
6. The present is all you really have to deal with.
Life is not lived in some distant, imagined land of someday where everything is perfect. It is
lived here and now, with the reality of the way things are. Happiness is a mindset that can only
be designed into the present. Don’t let the past and the future steal your present.
7. There is always, always, always something to be thankful for.
Think of all the beauty that remains around you, see it and smile. Be thankful for all the small
things in your life, because when you put them all together you will see just how significant they
are. At the end of the day, it’s not happiness that makes us thankful, but thankfulness that makes
us happy.
134
8. Great things take time.
Patience is not about waiting; it’s the ability to keep a good attitude while working hard for what
you believe in. It’s the willingness to stay focused, confidently staking one small step at a time,
knowing that the way you move a mountain is by moving one stone at a time. Every stone you
move, no matter how small, is progress.
9. Other people cannot validate you.
You are not in this world to live up to the expectations of others, nor should you feel that others
are here to live up to yours. Pave your own unique path.
10.Character should always be stronger than your Circumstances.
We can’t always control what happens to us, but we can always control how we choose to
respond.Choose to keep a positive attitude and thankful heart regardless of what you’re going
through.
11. Remember that God will never leave your side.
You may feel like you’re going through this struggle all alone, but God will be by your side to
the end.
12.Remember that God’s timing is always perfect.
God’s plans are almost always different from our plans, but His plans are always perfect! Have
the patience to wait on His timing instead of forcing your own.One of life’s greatest gifts is the
fact that life is difficult. Because in dealing with life’s difficulties, we build invaluable strength.
This strength enables us to successfully fulfil our deepest, most meaningful purposes. It is
precisely because life is difficult that we are able to make it great. It is because life is difficult
that we are able to rise above the difficulties. We are able to make a difference and we are able
to truly matter.

The Lord is my shepherd;
I have everything I need.
He lets me rest in fields of green grass
and leads me to quiet pools of fresh water.
He gives me new strength.
He guides me in the right paths,
as he has promised.
Even if I go through the deepest darkness,
I will not be afraid, Lord,
for you are with me.
Your shepherd’s rod and staff protect me.
You prepare a banquet for me,
where all my enemies can see me;
you welcome me as an honored guest
and fill my cup to the brim.
I know that your goodness and love
will be with me all my life;
and your house will be my home as long as I live.(Psalm 23)
Today there are egotistic leaders who don’t know how to lead the people whom they suppose to
lead, direct and guide. Very selfish world we are living, and very self-seeking shepherds we
have. But there is a shepherd with the most genuine, committed and never compromising
shepherd who is ever ready even to sacrifice his life for His sheep. Yes Jesus Christ is our
DedicatedShepherd who leads, protects and guides us to the safest pastures of life. Jesus claims
that He knows His own sheep and they listen to his voice. The Lord Jesus is the door that
protects and safeguards his followers. Jesus knows that his sheep require constant attention and
care.
The character of the sheep is such that they can never be on the right track unless they listen and
follow the shepherd. The sheep themselves don’t have the natural sense of direction, they do not
seem to know which way to go in life, they are incapable of caring for themselves on their own
and they are weak animals. They can easily get weary and have no defensive instincts when a
predator tries to attack them.
Jesus is the good shepherd who wants to teach us how weak and helpless we are and he would go
any extend to save us. As Jesus we have to bear our failures, sorrows, worries, wounds and
temptations in our lives. Jesus becomes our strength who helps to overcome our weakness.
As the followers of our role is ‘to serve the God we know and know the God we serve’.

Introduction
The concept of women empowerment was introduced at the women conference in 1985
at Nairobi. Empowerment is defined as the expansion in women’s ability and freedom to make
these strategic choices: a process that occurs over time and involves women as agents who have
the ability to formulate choices, control resources, and take decisions affecting important life
outcomes. The most common explanation of women’s empowerment is the ability to exercise
full control over one’s action.
Women Empowerment
The program of Action 1992 has comprehensively given the below mentioned parameters
of empowerment of women.
Enhance self-esteem and self-confidence in women
Build positive image of women by recognizing their contribution to the society, policy
and economy.
Develop in them an ability to think critically.
WOMEN EMPOWERMENT THROUGH EDUCATION
137
Foster decision making and action through collective process.
Enable women to make informed choices in areas like education, employment and health
especially reproductive health.
Ensure equal participation in the development process
Provide information, knowledge and skill for economic independence.
Enhance access to legal literacy and information related to their rights and entitlements in
the society with a view to enhance their participation on an equal footing in all areas.
Empowerment allows individuals to reach their full potential, to improve their political
and social participation, and to believe in their own capabilities.
Empowerment through Education
Education is one of the most important means of empowering women with the
knowledge, skills and self-confidence necessary to participate fully in the development process.
Education helps girls and women to claim them and achieve better position in the society.
Does Education really empower women?
It is debatable. The profile of an empowered woman will demonstrate some of the
following characteristics:
The empowered woman appreciates the time she spends on domestic work and outside
the home.
She is aware that overwork is harmful to her physical and mental condition and that
health is vital.
The empowered woman appreciates the value of her contribution whether remunerated or
not.
She is confident of her worth, is open-minded and appreciates others, seeks to improve
her skills and knowledge continuously.
She is aware of her potentials to contribute to the progress of her family, community and
society at large.
The empowered woman understands that she is human being and can control her own
life.
138
She seeks to get scientific insights into superstitions and challenges those which are
unjust to woman.
She has freedom of movement and expression on par with men.
She appreciates her strengths and weakness and seeks self-improvement.
The empowered woman is aware of her rights as a citizen and protects them actively. She
convinced of her quality with men.
The empowered woman dares to be different and creative. She respects herself. She is
capable of making informed decisions. The empowered woman appreciates and supports
other woman.
The empowered woman is aware that her health is related to the number of children she
has. She respects the dignity of womanhood and appreciates daughters in the same way
does sons.
Conclusion
Thus education of women opens up the new horizons, broadens her thinking, and
develops new ideas and hopes. Enhance knowledge and skills, provide courage to meet the
challenges of life and give freedom of expressions. Thus the women should be encouraged and
should be provided with opportunity to gain education to groom them as well as educate the
nation.

Food is the most vital need for mankind, it is very important to have healthy lifestyle.
Hence it is every individual responsibility to eat traditional food and be healthy. One relevant
quote says “Don’t eat anything your great grandmother wouldn’t recognize as food”.
Tradition is something that binds us to our roots, just like food. Traditional foods are
foods that were consumed throughout history before the modernization and industrialization of
the food supply. These foods are not only free from additives,
chemicals and many of the things we find in food today, but
they were exceptionally nourishing. Traditional food is an
excellent source of minerals and it boosts the immune system.
India is a land that signifies Culture, tradition and ethics, these
are the three important elements deeply rooted in the heart of
every Indian .These three elements share a commonality that is
food. Just as the colors of India the food of India represents flavor, color and diversity. The
traditional food of India has significance in representing the Indian Culture.India has been
recognized all over the world for spices and medicinal plants. Both exhibit a wide range of
physiological and pharmacological properties. Various regions of India have their specialty.
Each Indian region uses various herbs and spices to make their food delicious and healthy.
Nutritional Importance of Traditional Indian Food
North Indian Traditional Food
Some North Indian states like Haryana, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, hold an expertise in
making various kinds of chapattis from different flours like wheat, gram flour, refined flour, rice
flour, etc... These spices have a traditional value and it is very healthy.
South Indian Food
South India is known for its rich spices as well as coconut and the dishes belong to the
southern part of the country show richness of spices and of course a lot of coconuts. The staple
dishes of Tamil Nadu bring in use a lot of tamarinds that accounts for the sourness of their staple
dishes. In Andhra Pradesh, the use of chilies is quite extensive. The dishes of Kerala like idlis,
dosas, rice puttu, etc are some of the tastiest Indian cuisines. All these species have a traditional
value and are healthy.

Lentils
Many popular Indian dishes are made from lentils. Lentils are rich in cholesterol-
lowering fibers. They also lay a helping hand in the management of blood sugar disorders. This
is attributed to the fact that lentils are rich in fiber and fiber prevents the hike in the blood sugar
level after the meals.Legumes, such as soybeans not only help in maintaining cholesterol but,
also help in controlling blood sugar levels and cut off the risk of several kinds of cancers.
Cardamom
It adds an amazing flavor to Indian dishes. It is extensively used in herbal medicinal
preparation used of flatulence and indigestion. It is also used to counter bad breath and act as a
tooth cleaner. It is used to counter the gluten intolerance in kids. It is also recommended for
Dyspepsia. It is great for colic as well as head disorders.
Cinnamon
Cinnamon is extensively used in Eastern as well as Western dishes. It is used in both the
cultures as medicine. It possesses amazing healing abilities. It is also very effective as a sedative
for the circulatory stimulant, smooth muscles, carminative, , diaphoretic, anti-ulcerative and
antibiotic. It is also very effective in the cases of common cold, frostbite and influenza.
Cayenne (Red) Pepper
Red pepper is flooded with capsaicin which is an amazing pain reliever, antiulcer and a
digestive. It has many cardiovascular benefits. It also lowers the body temperature by stimulating
cooling centers located in the hypothalamus. It also stimulates and enhances digestion. It reduces
blood cholesterol levels and also triglycerides level. It helps in preventing the formation of blood
clots.India and Indian food goes hand in hand. Food holds a great importance in the culture and
tradition of India. Not only the Indian food is finger- licking delicious but, also holds a great
nutritional value. All the vegetables, legumes, herbs, grains are loaded with one of the other
important nutrients. This makes Indian cuisines one of the healthiest cuisines in the world menu
and that too, without compromising on overall health of a person.Indian food is a pleasure to
taste buds and also, it is great for the overall health of a person. Every ingredient used in
preparing any Indian dish has its own nutritional value and health benefits. Therefore traditional
Indian food keeps us healthy.

"As the young leaders of tomorrow, you have the passion and energy and commitment to
make a difference." - Ban Kimoon.
Introduction:
A demographic change takes deep roots in the hearts of many youngsters. In India this
specific change is formulated in terms of a decisive influence in the shaping of society and the
course of history.
Today, the youth in India constitute those who can and do lead the nation in the business,
in arts, in politics and in society. According to the National Youth Readership Survey, (NYRS –
2009) conducted by the National Council of Applied Survey gives a vivid detail that the young
population of the country is 459 million and is projected to reach close to 574 million by 2020.
Of these, 333 million are literate, which is 73 per cent of the total population. We might have
heard of this: "By 2015, the generation will belong to a generation, born in the post – economic
reforms era with multiple facilities".
Mahatma Gandhi said: “Young people are the salt of the nation with the ability to change
the course of history.” Yes, the energetic, dynamic and youthful citizens of India are full of
hopes and dreams to make a difference in the history of our nation.
The Youth – The Shapers of Tomorrow
142
They seek solutions to the nagging problems which can be spelt out as follows: Injustice,
inequality, illiteracy, corruption, discrimination at all levels and exploitation of the poor by
unscrupulous officers. Being a young man, I too believe that like me, today‟s youth will not be
silent spectators of these but be sensitive to the needy and be the voice of voiceless.
I have lucidly enumerated below, my sobering visions on the youth – the shapers of
tomorrow - and I wish to share these with them in the following paragraphs.
The First Vision: „Be men and women of exemplary character‟
Have an appetite to inculcate good values and virtues for life. If you find anything good
in others, learn them; anything bad, confront them. This will help you to be clear about
visualizing what sort of society you want to build and what sort of political ideology you want to
support. For, what your tomorrow will be is what you decide today. Benjamin Disraeli, former
British Prime Minister said: “The youth of the nation are the trustees of posterity”.
Yes, the entire nation relies upon you. In AICUFS‟ 5th national convention, Fr. Edward
Mudavarssery SJ, the POSA, in his homily said: “The country desperately needs young leaders
who personify energy, enthusiasm, morality, breadth of vision and diligence.” My urge too is this
and I expect them to be sculptors of exemplary characters and human values, so that they may be
able to play their own instruments in the orchestra of life with unflagging energy.
The Second Vision: „Have thirst to smell successes‟
Winners do not do different things but they do things differently. When you do things
differently, hazards and hurdles will follow you. Only those who wade through difficulties with
grit in their life could be perfumed with the heady smell of success.
In order to achieve success, first set yourself clear goals which should be an extension of
your values and most fundamental beliefs. Swami Vivekananda says, “Take up one idea .Make
that one idea of your life–think of it, dream of it and live on that idea.Let the brain, muscles,
every part of your body, be full of that idea and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way
to success.” Hope these words are realized in all our country‟s youth.
143
Failure is ineluctable, when we try to smell success. It is an enabling tool for the
prodigious outcome of your arduous efforts .The book „Wings of Fire‟ of Dr. A. P. J. Abdul
Kalam tells me that when his rocket mission ended up in utter failure, his mentor told him “Look
for signs of success amidst the rubble of failure. Failures also have a formative effect.”
The Third Vision: „Be persons who always have a high self -esteem‟
Persons, with high self -esteem feel happy and accepted by the society in which they live.
Whereas, persons with low self- esteem feel lonely and discouraged. It is apparent among the
youth. The world is moving at a terrific pace through the electronic and print media. In contrast,
we often find youngsters getting confused about how to keep abreast of a fast changing world.
They are not only confused but also feel that they are left directionless. This is only because of
low self–esteem and lack of self-confidence.
To enhance self-esteem, believe firmly that you can. As the Bhagavad- Gita says, “One
should lift oneself by one‟s own efforts and should not degrade oneself; for one‟s own self is
one‟s friend, and one‟s own self is one‟s enemy.” Self-esteem comes not from the „so called‟
degrees or positions but from the contentment of the heart and trust in oneself. So, slave away
and you will get it.
The Fourth Vision: „Be proficient leaders of humble service‟
Have a dream to be the leaders of tomorrow with sensitivity and commitment to the
needs of others who are made poor and kept illiterate. Leadership entails a lot of hard work,
sacrifice and self - denial. It first of all begins with self-leadership. Mold yourself to be a good
leader. A good leader must stand for justice, truth and for the welfare of the neglected. The
sterling qualities of love, affection and concern for those, in great need should take birth in you
as a leader.
A well-known adage says: “The manager does things right, the leader does the right
thing.” Take a pledge with the Poonamallee Declaration, 1971 which declared: “We were born in
an unjust society. We are determined not to leave it as we have found it.”
144
The Fifth Vision: “Utilize all the advanced and available technologies for good of all”
In this competitive world, media plays a stellar role in every sphere of life. It is also one
of the salient features for us to attain the status of a developed nation by 2020. In contrast, the
efficacious influence of media is highly noxious. Most of the youth are enslaved by this
pernicious effect. It insidiously kills them.
I want the youth to evoke a redemptive change by having a comprehensive understanding and
awareness of media. According to the NYRS – 2009 survey, 54% of the youth watch television
for entertainment; 22% for news items; 14% of the time is used for entertainment in the internet
cafes. Being in a highly modernized world you decide not only how you‟ll be but also what you
ought to be. Only then, you can attain your goal.
Conclusion:
In the context of the emerging social, economic, political and cultural changes like
globalization, privatization, environmental degradation, and the fast changing science and
technology, the youth are expected to adapt themselves to be efficient shapers of tomorrow.
May the visions I have just presented enliven the spirit and motivate the youth to good
deeds. May they be blessed with the grace to differentiate between good and evil and respect all
as equals. Let your model be Jesus, the great leader of all times. Let His attitude be yours! Young
giants! Mould yourselves as shapers of tomorrow.

Literate means: Able to Read and Write.
Educated means: Having a good level of knowledge, in other word „intellectually aware‟ i.e., a
person may know how to behave in different situation.
In a formal mode of education like schools and colleges a person gets a good level of
knowledge means he/she has to know the basic sense of how to behave in different situations,
which means an educated person should have a civic sense(Civic sense is nothing but social ethics.
It is consideration by the people for the unspoken norms of society. A lot of people assume that civic
sense is just about keeping the roads, streets and public property clean) if he doesn‟t possess civic
sense, how he would be an educated person for eg.,
1. A professor of a Government Engineering College who didn‟t care about to give
complaint to local electricity department for not functioning of the street light means.
He is an educated or literate?.
2. A professor in a Post graduate Arts and Science college came on the street to fight his
neighbor like a rogue for the sewage system means. He is an educated or literate?.
3. For the common goodness a person didn‟t tolerate to sacrifice her transient demand
means. She is an educated or literate?.
All the above mentioned incidents are not imagined. I noticed all the above in recent past,
apart from this the immoral behaviour of the professors in one of the university in Tamilnadu and
a women professor of its affiliated college shows they are literate than educated.
The professors in Higher education institutions are behaving like these mean, think about
those who receives degree in higher education institution.
So that I am stated “Education is not for Employment”, Of course in order to fulfill our
economic demand we need education. But the ultimate job of education is not to get only
employment. So if we don‟t get a sense of behaviour with humanism we are only called to be
literate than educated.

Asst. Professor of Perspectives in Education.

The alarming rise in the use of chemicals to process and store food has exposed us to a lot
of disease even cancer. The agriculture industry is also dependent on pesticides that have
capacity to even mutate genome (genes).One big issue is the Endosulfan assisted health issues,
deformed births in Kerala. We have been using salts and other substances to presence and
produce more food but the sudden onset of man-mad chemical usage has added fuel to five.
Most of their food additives act blocks the food from getting oxidized properly. Such
compounds set off chain of actions in the human system giving out reactive molecules called as
few radicals.There free radicals cause the molecules in our body to degenerate. Stresses our
delicate chemically balanced system and damages are DNA and cells. The damage when
occurring in Nerves and DNA can cause severe repercussions like deformed births early onset of
disabling disease like Parkinson’s Alzheimer’s. The leading cause of cancer is also the free
radicals with the pace of the world in getting industrialized the problem of pollution and
chemical additives in food is not going to reduce.
All that we need is to equip ourselves with healthy practices leading to a balance in our
system. Antioxidants help us in the fight against these free radicals. These are group of
molecules that are capable of terminating the free radicals. Traditionally all are herbal products,
Spices; fruits have a huge quality of antioxidants, but with increased demand there in a huge
pressure on the agriculture industry to use xenobiotic.
How bad in is dependence on chemicals in the food processing Industry?
148
So are we SAFE?
As consumers we need to be fully aware of organic cultivation of vegetables and crops.
Increased research is going on in the area to effectively minimize pesticides with the use of
organic materials. Having said this we are in a country that has a variety of seasons and potential
to grow gropes according to seasonal variation. We should make better use of seasonal fruits and
vegetables. A simple vegetarian diet has far more Antioxidants needed to sustain us in the
polluted world. Fruits like the watermelon, tomatoes, mangoes etc. contain plenty of
antioxidants. Encourage children towards vegetarian diet to ensure healthy immune system and
cognitive function. Antioxidants by reducing the oxidative stress, and help maintain vascular
health and improves Neuronal activity. Researcher has shown that antioxidants like Vitamin C,
anthocyanin are highly effective in reducing symptoms of arthritis and prevent onset of certain
cancer respectively. Let us embrace a natural way of living and move towards healthy diet.

Blissful Morning
As I woke up in the morning
I saw the sunshine through the window.
As I moved towards the window
I heard the chirpings of the birds
As I went out to the vernacular
I felt the chillness of the breeze
As I come to the street
I saw happy cheerful people on the street
As I was coming back to home
I saw the greenery all around my way.
And when I came to my room I felt
That heaven is not anywhere else.
It’s on the writher earth where I live.

showing me the right way;
When I was drowning into the deep sea of
danger you came as the floating boat saving
me out the shore,
When I was in depression
You came as an Angle to console me
When I was to fall down
You came as a ladder leading me to success
But now when the world praises me you are
not with me to share my happiness.

My Idea of a Happy Life
When I was an infant,
I found happiness with my parents,
In the love and care of my parents.
When I was a kid,
I found happiness with my toys & friends,
In the lovely toys and cheerful friends.
When I was in school
I found happiness with my teachers and
books.
In the knowledgeable book and teaching of
my teachers.
When I was an adult
I found happiness with my spouse and
children
In the warmth of my spouse and smiles of
my children.
When I became old,
I found happiness with my grandchildren,
In the touch of small fingers & glittering of
their eyes.
And when I became wise
I found out happiness in a sparkling dew
drop,
Which tickled me and said, all the happiness
is within me and nowhere else.

My Idea of a Happy Life
As I think long back, I remember of the old
times that I had where life was much simpler
and troubles were seemingly thinner days
were filled with laughter and joy I was more
reserved and copy. Backpacks were the only
burden to carry; nothing else was much to
the worry. The cuddles of mom and the
lessons of dad. All the house rides and piggy
backs with granddad.
Nightmares which lasted at night and tooth
fairies who sneaked in at right time the
stories of grandma which was fun climbing
on truss and doing mischief on the run.
Where bruises were on the knees and
crayons were broken.Not the hearts and the
promises which were taken. Now when I
look back I miss those days and the high,
maybe that’s why it’ll always remain “ My
Idea of a Happy Life”.

My Idea of a Happy Life
To have watched the sun peek out of the
horizon,
To have woken up to the sound of a
cuckoo’s morning yawn;
To have been drenched in the first monsoon
showers and not have frowned;
To have burred a newborn to sleep in your
arms,
To have been the clams during the times of a
friend’s tumultuous storms;
To have acquired a good name and made
your mother’s heart warm;
To have placed the first mint of money upon
your father’s palm;
To have lined a life causing no one any
harm;
To have experienced love in the most purest
of its forms
All together form the lucky charm
To reap a bountiful harvest out of each life’s
happy farm.

The world is changing very fast. The pace of globalization, liberalization and
privatization has tremendously influenced the various dimensions of Commerce
education.Commerce education plays a very important role in the changing business world. It is
the most important key, which leads to success in all sectors of economy.The education imparted
among Commerce students include lecturing, learning, group discussion, brain-storming,
simulation exercises, case study, role-play, seminars etc...
Commerce education has gained such an importance because if a simple mistake is
committed or an entrepreneur in his business affairs takes a slightly wrong decision, then it
would lead to the doom of his enterprise, which has been developed so far. Therefore, Commerce
education is very important. The activities relating to Commerce is also affected when the
business cycle is not going well.
Through Commerce education, a student is exposed to the environment of the business
world. It is helpful for preparing them for self-employment and developing in them, the
entrepreneurial abilities. It also inculcates practice orientation among the students. It makes them
know about the importance of applying economic principles while making business decisions. It
makes them aware of social, economic and political problems relating to business concerns. It
teaches them to face the market situation, to adapt themselves to the present circumstances.
Moreover, it helps them to meet the global competition.
The students must be taught how to convert knowledge into wealth through innovative means.
The Commerce education of today will have to revolve around ideas and innovations. Besides, it
will also be extremely essential to learn to put into practice these ideas and innovations.
The process of Commerce education can be understood through its nature. It is a socio-
behavioral science i.e. it is the science, which studies the social behavior or human behavior with
conduct of business activities. The University, College, Students, Commerce Colleges and
institutions must take interest in spreading the general education of Commerce to the public in
general.
ROLE OF COMMERCE EDUCATION IN THE CHANGING BUSINESS WORLD
154
The Students write their exams in their institution. But the present evaluation system is
so rigid, and it stresses only on bookish knowledge. It lacks practical outlook and the need to
change in pattern of this type of education is very essential as well as beneficial.
The role played by an effective system of Commerce education is self-evident as it
provides necessary inputs among the young graduates of today, towards turning them to dynamic
and successful businessmen of tomorrow. It must train the students not only in the technical
aspects of the business, but also teach morals and ethics. The Commerce education must be
theoretical and practical. This must never be forgotten that the real education is one, which
provides freedom of thought and judgment and liberation from dogmas. In this way, the role
played by Commerce education is very important or sufficient as well as effective in the
changing business world.

Coming from a small town in the south of Tamil Nadu, one of the most exiting plan
during the year is the visit to home town from Chennai. This visit turns out to be embarrassing
sometimes when interacting with neighbors there, as the chatting proceeds many a times its
about the famous river Cooum that stinks.Almost everyone who has heard about Chennai will be
talking about this river and its bad reputation for the foul smell that it throws across the city. This
was a sad thing that has kept me thinking about what we have done to this place which was once
so ideal that the British choose this as one of their administrative capital
The thought about this led me to search for the history of this place and the river, and the
search was not futile. Some enthusiastic people did post online about the river. Some serious
discussions with elders from Chennai to validate the data that was posted online brought tears to
my eyes and I was furious on our elders, city administration and politicians for their inaction
towards the state of the river as it degraded because of our insensitivity. The unholy river that we
see in the city now was a lifeline for many during the early days. The river provided for the
transportation, fishing, drinking and agriculture.
The name Cooum has its origin from the word “COOPAM” which means deep pit, and
the word “COOVALAN” refers to a person with deep knowledge of water, wells etc.. For
centuries people have considered the river holy and it finds a mention in Chola documents that
The Holy River Cooum
156
are inscribed on temples. The river is dotted by Shiva Temples on its banks. Ancient documents
found in village temples nearby suggest a holy dip to achieve salvation. Three ancient temples
are located at the source of the river which is a village of the same name in the Thiruvallur
district. Another important fact that I read was about archeological discovery of Roman and
Chinese coins on the banks of the river Cooum, This conveys to us the importance of this river as
an important trade route.
According to various dissertations written by leading scientists during the 50s and 60s
hint at the very rich plant and animal life. Cooum was home to more than 49 species of Fish, and
a wide range of algae and aquatic plants. Today the river is a example of sad truth about our
indifference towards nature. Government took some steps and did some planning to revive the
polluted part of the river, yet no concrete action has been taken. We people are not able to
question on this issue mostly due to lack of awareness. The city corporation empties the sewage
mostly untreated into the river, also the problem of illegal settlements on the banks of the river
which narrows down its flow is predominant
As educators it becomes our duty to know local history in order to create awareness
among the students which will lead to questioning about y habits that are destroying the
environment. With sufficient awareness, I believe the response from the authorities will be
positive in cases that pertain to the protection of the environment. The part of River Cooum that
flows within the city still has the hope to spark with life.Knowing a bit of Local history about
ourselves can be inspiring many a times. Let us strive to do our best to keep this city clean.

“Educating the mind without educating the heart is no Education at all.”
– Aristotle.
Moral lessons should be properly taught among students in catholic schools and colleges.
It is the duty and responsibility of the teacher to impart moral based values in order to
develop moral qualities such as humility, truthfulness, honesty, courtesy, tolerance, sacrifice etc.
among the youth.
Tamil Nadu has recorded the highest number of suicides by accounting for 12.5 per
cent of the total cases reported in 2012. When it comes to specific issues like „love affairs‟
and „failure in examination‟ that led to suicides, the State has again topped in the
south.Among the metropolitan cities, Chennai topped others with 2,183 suicides closely
followed by Bangalore with 1,989. Tamil Nadu is among the five States that have
consistently registered higher number of suicides in the last few years. The death of four
female students from Panapakkam government school in Vellore has left the entire state
shocked.
IME - Importance of Moral Education...
158
The State also topped the list of suicides reported due to failure in examination, love
affairs, illicit relationships etc.Family problems and illness (including AIDS/Cancer) which
accounted for 25.6 per cent and 20.8 per cent of suicides in the country were also on the
higher side in Tamil Nadu. Emotional crisis consequent to the death of a dear person has led
to 99 suicides in the State last year of which 47 were women.
State nodal officer of the National Mental Health Program Dr. C. Ramasubramanian says:
“Suicide is impulsive only among younger people. In a majority of other cases, it is a
culmination of turmoil. A feeling of insecurity, hopelessness and finally helplessness causes
negative perception and tunneled type of thinking. This kind of a prolonged depression with no
emotional support and scope to ventilate often triggers suicidal tendencies. We are trying to
introduce Mental Health Education in schools.”
Starting with the schools run by the Catholic diocese and religious Congregations, all
Catholic Schools have historically played a significant role in shaping the education and
character of youth. When I was growing up, my parents sent me to Catholic Schools for the
first twelve years of my education. It was a rich and rewarding experience. I have learnt
moral values and moral virtues in my life. It's amazing the amount of math and science
knowledge I have forgotten since my school days. I haven‟t, however, forgotten moral value
lessons learned in school. One of these moral lessons was learnt while I was a varsity
football player. I am utilizing them in my daily life. In this hub, I examine the role of
Catholic Schools in teaching moral values to youth.
When most persons talk about a school curriculum, they think about math, science,
social studies, and language courses. Seldom do I hear or read about moral values as being
part of the curriculum. The problem is that the neglect of teaching moral values in schools is
hurting our students and causing problems in society. If a person has never learned any
moral values, how is she or he able to discern the difference between right and wrong? That
is basically the essence of moral values education.
159
What is the meaning of moral values? Ethics describes a generally accepted set
of moral principles. Morals describe the goodness or badness or right or wrong of actions.
Values describe individual or personal standards of what is valuable or important.Moral values
should be taught in all schools, not only Catholic because our students can and must be agents of
change for the betterment of society. We must start seeing our children as lamps to be lit rather
than vessels to be filled.
School extracurricular activities are an excellent vehicle for teaching moral values to
our youth. Love and compassion, cooperation and teamwork, justice and honesty, and
respect are taught.The teacher as an exemplary role model star integrates his lesson plans
with moral values so that students can grow in virtue.
A student should spend most of his time of this golden period in reading and
learning. A good student never waste his time fixed for reading uselessly. But he must not
be a book-worm being always engaged in his studies. He should also be careful about his
health and spend some time daily in some sports and games. He should try to develop his
body and mind at the same time.As a student he must try to develop his intellect. He should
also try to acquire some good qualities like obedience, dutifulness, respect on elders and
love and sympathy for fellow man in the society. The duty of a student is to obey his parents
and teachers and respect the elders of the society.
Students are the future hope of country. So every student should try to be the best
citizen in all respect, so that he may serve his country as far as he can.
The aim of education is the knowledge, not of facts but of values.
A List of Moral Values to be taught to Students
According to a catholic psychologist, the list of moral values or gospel values taught in the
Catholic Schools classroom should include:
1. Faith -Belief in Salvation
2. Hope - Expecting Salvation
3. Charity -Giving to the Poor and Unfortunate
4. Conscience/Moral Courage -Know what is Right and Wrong
5. Freedom -Not being oppressed
160
6. Joy - Happiness
7. Respect -Honour Yourself and Others
8. Humility - Don't be Proud
9. Simplicity - Self-sufficiency
10. Love - Unselfishness
11. Compassion - Caring for Needs of People
12. Gratitude - Thankfulness to People Who Do Good
13. Work - Earning an Honest Living
14. Service - Doing Work for a Good Cause
15. Honesty - Truth
16. Justice - Accountability; Judgement of what is
Right or Wrong
17. Peace/Reconciliation - Becoming Friends after Fighting
18. Forgiveness - Accept Someone for the Bad They Have
Done to You
19. Unity/Community - No Man is an Island
20. Wonder - Seeingthe Glory of the Creator
Moral character is very important in our life. No individual can become a great man
without character. All great men like Gandhiji, Vivekananda, Subhash Chandra Bose and
Abraham Lincoln were men of strong and noble character. As character is necessary for
individuals, it is also necessary for a nation. A nation cannot make progress if it has lost its
character. Thus introduction of moral education from grassroots to university level is very
necessary.Finally, Moral or Value Education in Catholic Schools is one of the fundamental
aspects of human life and society. It is this moral code that allows people to trust each other,
cooperate and form a culture and community with a common set of values and beliefs. Going by
the definition, morality is defined as “Principles concerning the distinction between right and
wrong or good and bad behaviour”. In this modern day and age with rising uncertainty and crime
rate, a serious contemplation is required over the kind of education and values being instilled into
children and teens.

Invisible hazards in the wireless age
We live in a world where we love to be busy. Cell phones have become the ultimate
symbol of having an occupation, something to kill time with. We depend on our mobiles for
connectivity, comfort, communication and entertainment. We cannot imagine a life without
mobile phones. But are we bargaining for these with our health?
Mobile phones have become one of the
indispensable devices in the world. The number of
mobile phones in use has topped 5.0 billion in a
world of 6.8 billion. When you talk on your cell
phone, your radio frequency radiation (RFR) between
800MHz and 1,990 MHz. When you are exposed to
it, they may be a chance of health consequences.
They may cause biological problems.
Biochemical and physiological changes due to cell phone radiations:
Causes, memory loss and mental confusion
Causes headache and induce extreme fatigue.
Creates joint pain, muscle spasm and tremor.
Creates burning sensation and rashes on the skin.
Precipitate cataract, retina damage and eye cancer.
Opens the blood-brain barrier to viruses and toxins.
Reduces the number and efficiency of white blood cells.
Tips to protect from cell phone radiation
Limit use to essential calls and keep calls short.
Wear an air tube headset
Do not use the cell phones in enclosed metal spaces such as elevator or vehicle.
Do not make calls when the signal strength is one bar or less.

“Chemistry is technically the study of matter”, Chemistry is indeed in our everyday. You
yourself are a big bag of chemicals! We all are made of chemicals and everything around us is
made of chemicals. Everything we hear, see, smell, taste, and touch involves chemistry and
chemicals (matter). Hearing, seeing, tasting, and touching all involve intricate series of chemical
reactions and interactions in our body. Many of the changes we observe in the world around are
caused by chemical reactions. Chemistry is not limited to beakers and laboratories. It is all
around us, and the better we know chemistry, the better we know our world. Chemistry is present
in every aspect of life, and few examples are -
Chemistry in Our Human Body:
Roughly 96% of our body mass is made up of just 4 elements: - Oxygen, Carbon, Hydrogen and
Nitrogen. The remaining 4% consists of around 60 elements that include sodium, potassium,
calcium, zinc, and the list goes on.
Feeling Hungry:
When you feel hungry the hormone Ghrelin is secreted by the stomach that triggers hunger. It
stimulates the release of the growth hormone. It plays a role in the release of Insulin and
protection of the cardiovascular organs. So, the next time your stomach growls grab a bite
because if you fast or skip meals, more Ghrelin is produced thus increasing your craving for
food.
Digestion
Gastric acid is composed of hydrochloric acid (HCl) and large quantities of potassium chloride
(KCl) and sodium chloride (NaCl) that is secreted by the parietal cells lining the stomach.
This gastric acid helps convert pepsinogen to pepsin which is responsible for the denaturing of
the proteins in the stomach. It also kills the micro-organisms in the food before they can make
you sick. The HCl neutralizes the acid present in the foods you eat thereby maintaining your
body's acidic or alkaline levels to keep you healthy.
Chemistry in Our Daily Life
164
Chemistry and Emotions:
Tears and Crying
Sometimes, crying is a natural reflex. Studies have shown that emotional tears contain
more manganese, an element that affects temperament and more prolactin. Prolactin is a
hormone that regulates milk production. This elimination of manganese and prolactin is thought
to ease out tension building up in the body and you feel energized and rejuvenated. So, the next
time you feel low and need to vent your emotions, don't hold back. Just cry! It will help you feel
better.
Chemistry of LOVE
We fall in love or are attracted to someone and have a feeling of belonging due to an increase in
the secretion of -Phenyl ethylamine (PEA, or the "love chemical") and the hormones testosterone
and estrogen which promote mating.When we fall in love, our brain releases dopamine,
norepinephrine and pheromones consistently, which evoke the pleasure center in the brain
leading to side effects such as increased heart rate, insomnia, an intense feeling of excitement,
elation, and focused attention.
Chemistry and Food:
Coffee and Sleep
Coffee keeps you awake due to the presence of caffeine in it. This caffeine increases dopamine
levels in our bodies that stimulates the 'pleasure areas' in our brain making us feel good. It
increases the adrenaline secretion in the body and speeds up activity in the brain that keeps us
awake.
Apples Turning Brown
Apples contain an enzyme called polyphenol oxidase (PPO), also known as tyrosinase. Cutting
an apple exposes its cells to the atmospheric oxygen and oxidizes the phenolic compounds
present in apples. This is called the enzymatic browning that turns a cut apple brown. In addition
to apples, enzymatic browning is also evident in bananas, pears, avocados and even potatoes.
165
Crying and Onions
When you cut an onion you break the cells that form the layers in an onion, thus releasing
an enzyme Alliinase that reacts with a sulfur-containing compound known as 'prensco', which is
also released while cutting. This reaction results in the formation of 1-propenyl sulfenic acid.
1-propenyl sulfenic acid is further converted to Propanethiol S-oxide, a volatile sulfur
compound, by the enzyme LF-synthase (meaning Lachrymatory Factor synthesizing enzyme).
This gas, known as the Lachrymatory factor (crying factor), reacts with the water in our eyes to
form sulfuric acid causing a burning sensation in your eyes and indicating the tear gland to
secrete tears.
Meals are cooked faster in a pressure cooker?
A pressure cooker has a more elaborated lid that seals the pot completely. When we heat water it
boils and the steam cannot escape, so it remains inside and starts to build up pressure. Under
pressure, cooking temperatures raise much higher than under normal conditions, hence the food
is cooked much faster.
Vegetables are colored- Many vegetables and
fruits are strongly colored because they
contain a special kind of chemical compound
named carotenoids. These compounds have an
area called choromophore, which absorbs and
gives off particular wavelengths of light,
generating the color that we then perceive.
Fermentation
Fermentation is the conversion of complex substances to simpler ones under anaerobic
conditions. The specific product from fermentation is driven by the type of micro-organisms
acting on the substance in which the fermentation occurs. The products of fermentation are
alcohols or acids and the release of carbon dioxide.
166
For example, wine produced from fruit juice is an alcohol as a result of fermentation by yeast,
whereas beer is the result of yeast fermentation of grain. Antibiotics are obtained through
fermentation by molds and some bacteria. Yogurt, cheese, and vinegar are products of bacterial
fermentation. Leavened bread is obtained by yeast fermentation.
2. Ice Float on water- Ice is less dense than liquid water. The heavier water displaces the lighter
ice, so ice floats on top.
Chemistry and Stain:
Stain Removers
Soap is formed by the reaction between an alkali and a fatty acid. This produces a molecule with
one hydrophilic (water-loving) and one lipophilic (fat-loving) ends. The lipophilic ends stick to
oil, grease, or dirt. These get engulfed in the soap and are washed away with a fresh stream of
water, leaving a clean surface behind.
This is just a physical reaction that takes place. Soap and stain removers act as emulsifiers which
allow oil and water to mix and so the oily mixtures and difficult stains on body and clothes can
be removed after application of soap, stain removers, and water.
Sunscreens
Sunscreens are a combination of organic and inorganic compounds. Inorganic chemicals, like
titanium dioxide or zinc oxide, form a physical barrier that reflects or scatters UV waves.
Organic components like octylmethoxycinnamate (OMC) or oxybenzone absorb UV rays and
release their energy as heat. This protects our skin from sunburns and detrimental effects like
cancer.
Nail Paint Removers
Nail paint consists of three types of ingredients - organic solvents and drying agents, thickeners
and hardening agents, and coloring agents. The remover is actually an organic solvent that is
used as an ingredient in nail paint which may be acetone or ethyl acetate.
167
So when you apply the remover you are just bringing it back to its original state. The solvent
molecules get in between the chains of polymers and separate them, making it easy to wipe it off
with a ball of cotton.
Chemistry is Around Us:
Why sky is blue - An object is colored because of the light that it reflects. The white light from
the sun contains all the wavelengths, but when it impacts on an object some of its wavelengths
are absorbed and some reflected. The color of the sky can be explained considering phenomena
named Rayleigh scattering that consists on the scattering of light by particles much smaller than
its wavelength. This effect is especially strong when light passes through gases.
Chemicals of Daily Use and their Names:
There are many chemicals that are most essential in daily life. These chemicals are used either in
combined form or as some reagents. More than 1000 of these chemicals are in use daily life.
Here are the list of few chemicals and its uses.
