Be there 24*7 for your child

-

 


Don’t let your child loose-fit these precious years of their lives. As schools are closed, but neither your mental horizons nor theirs. They are as inquisitive as they’re in classroom. Listen & act as per their wishes. Sometimes they might be demanding, but you’ve to cater to their needs. They’re going through a tough phase as we all are. Don’t let their little storehouse of knowledge go imbalanced. Feed them in thoughts & actions. But don’t hamper their physical & mental growth. Off line classes are though replaced by on line teaching, yet you are here with your kids 24*7 offline. Working people have to do some extra efforts but nothing stands beyond the essence of our kids. Jostle them, cuddle them & hug them tight as we never thought of locking them inside the narrow domains of four walls. Be poised in your approach. Teach them ‘one new thing’ everyday. It may be fun facts, e-media or content of their personal interest. Share your own ‘childhood memories’ with your children. They always feel rejoiced listening to the same. Decrease their On screen time & be their Off screen companion. You can’t always blame on being busy or fixing some work around. Gear up & invest in channelising your child’s energy into some creative work. Stand by their choices & decisions. Unleash their imagination. If you’re on duty for long hours, call them every now & then. Strictly eye upon their online watch content. Talk about the pros & cons of content to be shown on web world. Ask them to choose the on line watch time as per their need & demand only.

Don’t speculate them, only spew in them the spark of learning something new everyday. They’re not small fries, in-fact they are your pristine glories who need to be nurtured & groomed well and it’s possible only when you accompany them in their little needs & deeds. Don’t let them miss their friends, their teachers, the school campus, those swings, the canteen & their playtime. Create homely atmosphere so lively that they rejuvenate in new opportunities. Play games with them & give them new challenges daily. Don’t restrict them to content based syllabi only. Instead prepare their futuristic vision. Don’t expect too much, only accept for what he/she is gifted with. Explore their ideas & act upon the same. I know I’m not asking for too much as it’s only for the betterment of our own little souls who need to be enriched & enlightened with each passing day.

  ਭੂਆ ਦੇ ਮੁੰਡੇ ਦਾ ਵਿਆਹ ਤੇ ਮੈਨੂੰ ਗੋਡੇ ਗੋਡੇ ਚਾਅ! ਨੱਚਦੇ ਟੱਪਦੇ ਜਦੋਂ ਅਸੀਂ ਬਰਾਤ ਨਾਲ ਹਾਲ ਦੇ ਅੰਦਰ ਦਾਖ਼ਲ ਹੋਏ ਤੇ ਦੋ ਘੜੀਆਂ ਥਕਾਨ ਉਤਾਰਨ ਲਈ ਬੈਠ ਗਏ। ਮੁੰਡੇ ਵਾਲਿਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਆਇਆ ਵੇਖ ਸਾਰੇ ਵੇਟਰ ਕੋਈ ਨਾ ਕੋਈ ਡਿਸ਼ ਲੈਕੇ ਮੁਹਰੇ ਆ ਖਲੋਤੇ। ਮੈਂ ਵੀ ਆਪਣੀ ਭੂਆ ਨਾਲ ਬੈਠੀ 'ਜੈ ਮਾਲਾ' ਹੋਣ ਦੀ ਉਡੀਕ ਕਰਨ ਲੱਗੀ। ਉਸੇ ਵੇਲੇ ਇਕ ਵੇਟਰ ਜੂਸ ਲੈਕੇ ਮੇਰੇ ਸਾਹਮਣੇ ਆਇਆ। ਮੇਰਾ ਹੱਥ ਗਿਲਾਸ ਫੜਨ ਦੀ ਥਾਂ ਉਸ ਚਿਹਰੇ ਵਲ ਤੱਕਦਾ ਰਹਿ ਗਿਆ। ਦੋ ਪਲਾਂ ਲਈ ਮੈਂ ਆਪਣੇ ਅਧਿਆਪਨ ਕਿੱਤੇ ਚ ਵਾਪਸ ਪਰਤ ਗਈ......"ਅੱਜ ਫਿਰ ਮਹਿਕਦੀਪ ਨਹੀਂ ਆਇਆ! ਕਿੰਨੀਆਂ ਛੁੱਟੀਆਂ ਕਰਦਾ ਹੈ ਇਹ ਮੁੰਡਾ! ਮੈਂ ਇਸਦਾ ਨਾਂ ਕੱਟ ਦੇਣਾ ਹੁਣ। ਕਿੰਨਾ ਗੈਰ- ਜ਼ਿੰਮੇਵਾਰ ਮੁੰਡਾ ਹੈ!!"  ਮੇਰੀ ਭੂਆ ਨੇ ਮੈਂਨੂੰ ਹਿਲਾਉਂਦੇ ਹੋਏ ਕਿਹਾ," ਕਿੱਥੇ ਗੁਆਚ ਗਈ! ਮੁੰਡਾ ਜੂਸ ਪੁੱਛ ਰਿਹਾ।" ਮਹਿਕਦੀਪ ਤੇ ਮੈਂ ਇੱਕ ਦੂਜੇ ਵੱਲ ਕਿੰਨੀ ਦੇਰ ਅਣਪਛਾਤੇ ਬੰਦਿਆ ਵਾਂਗ ਨਜ਼ਰਾਂ ਛੁਪਾਉਂਦੇ ਰਹੇ। ਜਿਵੇਂ ਉਹ ਆਪਣੀ ਅਧਿਆਪਕ ਅੱਗੇ ਆਪਣੀ ਬੇਬਸੀ ਦੱਸ ਰਿਹਾ ਹੋਵੇ ਤੇ ਮੈਂ ਸ਼ਾਇਦ ਉਹਨੂੰ ਆਪਣੇ ਘਰ ਦੇ ਬੋਝ ਨੂੰ ਚੁੱਕ ਰਿਹਾ ਇੱਕ ਜਿੰਮੇਵਾਰ ਪਰ ਮਜਬੂਰ ਵਿਦਿਆਰਥੀ ਸਮਝ ਰਹੀ ਸਾਂ।

Trip of Togetherness

                                          Trip of Togetherness  It It has been almost a decade since I last visited Shimla for my M.Phil studies from H.P University @ Summer Hills. After 10 years, Shimla was entirely different when we talk in terms of weather. We headed for Chandigarh taking Duronto from Amritsar. Kids were over excited to meet queen of Hills for the very first time. We were also pleased for at least finding an escape from the scorching heat of Amritsar. It was all set & we were joined by another party from Phagwara. Here started the tummy full yummy meals leaks and it seemed as if we were owning the compartment. On reaching Chandigarh railway station, it was like a superlative degree when we talk in terms of cleanliness and I just wish that Plastic crushing machines may soon be installed in every hook corner of all cities. We took a tempo traveller to Kalka & reached hotel for only 3 hours sleep. In the wee hours we all got up to catch a TOY TRAIN to Shi

Broken smile

  His legs were floundering and with trembling hands he was managing it hard to sell cotton ear buds amidst the heavy traffic at red lights. An old man with withered clothes, fully wrinkled face & swollen eyes was hardly moving from one vehicle to another asking people to purchase the packet of ear buds. But people were perhaps more concerned about waiting for green signal & booing away their vehicles than paying any attention to old man’s pathos. The poor fellow drifted himself aside while people were hamming their lorries to an unknown destination. Sitting on sidewalks, he thought that perhaps the permanent wax in their ears couldn’t be removed with the packet of ear buds in his hands. The indomitable spirit of that broken smile was heard saying that generation  of today prefer to have Ear pods than Ear buds.
