More and more exit Polls predict absolute majority to Mahayuthi, NDA in Maharashtra, and NDA in Jharkhand. There are also talks about engineering new arrangements, adjustments, resort politics. In any case, we need to wait till 23 November.
World Children. World Records.
Hello. Television. Phone and TV have revolutionized how we communicate, how we get entertained. These are evolving faster. We are reaching a point that we cannot ‘live’ without them. They are becoming smarter and smarter day by day. These become ‘obsolete’ faster so that we buy new ‘improved versions’ for companies to make more money.
NEP talks about skilling in school itself. Will this happen, across the schools, in the next 5 years? Will the students be counselled properly for the possibilities, and make choices? Can we talk about apprenticeship with skilled masters in the villages, towns, and outside the classrooms? Will the internship to youth reach 1 Crore people? If it reaches that, will these youth get skilled, or will it be a ‘tokenism’? If they get skilled, meta-skilled, with knowledge, tools, practice et al, will they get employed decently? Will they make decent incomes via self-employment? Will they start skill-based service enterprises, or product enterprises?
Inspired: A junior alumnae from IRMA, Devanshi Tripathi, quit her job and opened Oyster Bar and Kitchen at Bengaluru. Greenest bar with unlimited buffets. Five years ago. It stands strong.
Another previous colleague and friend, a post graduate from MANAGE, Sudha Rani Mullapudi, moved out from a development career and started Abhihaara Enterprises – ‘the story of cotton, cloth and craft’ – at Hyderabad. Handlooms and crafts. Connecting weavers, craftspersons to consumers as directly as possible. Hybrid – business and social – enterprise. More than a decade ago. Emerged an icon.
Another junior alumni couple from IRMA, Priya and Ananth, have started Life Circle Health Services at Hyderabad. Trusted, Caring, Convenient Eldercare and home care for senior citizens. Now working in 6 cities, with 10,000+ home health worker visits a month. Started more than a decade ago. A big star in this domain.
Notwithstanding walking in the morning, can we just walk around, at least 10 min after dinner? Better still, after each meal. Can we limit sitting to less than 10 hours a day on an average? Can we stand, stretch, move, take breaks? Walk, cycle? Can we move our feet, legs even while we are sitting? Can we have an ergonomic chair with back support for a good, erect posture to sit? Can we meditate, reflect, do yoga? Can we do some work out on an empty stomach too? Can we get engaged and engrossed in activities, reading, writing, music, entertainment etc.? As we age, can we skip a meal, skip eating in the night majority of the days? Can we eat less? Can we fast 10-20%? Can we skip fine sugars, simple carbohydrates?
N-way movement(s) has started. Living, agency, equity, harmony. Local, democratic, fair. Trickling in. Picking up. Peaking up. Brace up. Learners. Can we mentor the mentors of learning facilitators?
Yes, we can. If we coexist, keep flowing, in sync with movement. In N? sankrantiyoga for 7L.
