The Ripple Effect…!


I am delighted to appreciate and acknowledge the concrete initiative of the College Staff and Students of brining out in the form of a beautiful magazine. The theme of this issue is Youth of Today: Problems and Possibilities which I feel is relevant and much debated and talked about issue in and around the world. It is a wonderful and praise worthy effort from the part of the students and the staff members who contributed informative, innovative and inspiring knowledge and wisdom coupled with their experience. Hence, I vehemently feel that their good work will certainly bear fruit like the ripple effect.

I take a beautiful image of the ripple effect precisely, to bring to everyone’s attention that how influential and contagious is one’ goodness. Mind you Evil does have the same effect. We know that, nothing is accidental, incidental, coincidental or by chance but by our CHOICE. Yes, there are problems; there are difficulties and obstacles for any noble cause. Only by meeting and beating these problems youth can reach glory and thus make sky as their limit. Believe me, such are the men and women who discovers the joy in making the problems into possibilities and difficulties into opportunities. Therefore, It’ noting but the matter of one’s perspective, attitude and disposition. With positive outlook towards people, problems and pains we make the stage to spread the ripple effect and inspire many youth. This reminds of a quote from the Bible, Having been strengthened in Christ, to strength my brothers and sisters, which the slogan of St Paul and Peter the two major pillars of the Church.

Dear readers and well wishers, I wish and hope that this humble work of our College Management, inspire you, enrich you and help  you to enhance your life for a change, for a cause and for an influence. Thus, we commit ourselves as one force for the Ripples of Effect from and for…

Thank you.

A Poor Teacher....

Image
We all know a famous saying "A good teacher teaches. A better teacher exhorts and the best teacher inspires." Fortunate if you have such teachers who walk into your student life. For sure they teach, encourage and inspire you to become better and the best. Unfortunate if you have poor and pathetic teachers who neither teach nor prepare for the class. Such teachers do come into our student life who paradoxically inspire by their despair. Strange but true. But to reach to this aptitude one requires an open mind and heart to accept the things that they cannot change but change one self instead. However, what I want to say is that today during two hours of class we experienced such poor and pathetic performance of a professor who only talked and taught nothing. Plenty of words bla bla bla....I just had a look around the class that was packed with students but then, most of them were all like as if suffocated and some constipated and still worse few were indifferent catching th

WOMAN/SHAKTI/EMPOWERMENT...!

Right at the outset, I admit that I am not a staunch feminist, yet this presumption doesn’t stop me whispering the truth of my inner voice. As someone said “say the truth and run away”, I do not mean such assumption despite the fact that I, a male, writing on such a significant phenomenon woman .           One cannot but accept the significant role of a woman in building a family or a society. Hence, we must appreciate woman’s contribution in nation building. Neither the governments, nor the civil or church laws build families. Instead, it is a woman who builds the family. If so, why there are rapes, domestic violence, and female-foeticide, divorce and unjust wages? State or religion is no exception. Hence, we must question the system, because if the system is corrupt what can we hope for? Hindu, Islam, Judeo-christian systems and the Greek, Roman, Eastern civilizations were all part of this inequality without being judgemental. Let us now get into the heart of the matter.

MEANING AS CONSTITUTIVE OF COMMUNICATION AND COMMUNION: LONERGAN

Image
Today seeking meaning in life is a common phenomenon that we all come across. Now it is sought in things, gadgets, celebrities, movies, sports, drinks, music, business and what not. Thus we have reached a state where meaning is to be found very instantly and immediately. The picture aptly depicts the attitude of today’s new generation where meaning is to be found totally out side the self and end up terribly disappointed, discouraged and disgusted. Some prominent examples can be that of Michael Jackson, Whiney Houston, Marilyn Monroe and Tiger Woods etc. What was missing in their life? What could be the reason why they failed to strike the balance between life/career and meaning? In this multimedia era finding meaning is very crucial and challenging. In this context Victor Frankel is one person who inspires me with his life; in spite of struggles he lived his life with a purpose. In this regard there are so many others like, Hellen Keller, Mother Teresa, John Paul II, Steve Jobbs
