for students and Educators alike teachers and my parents and my dear students it gives me enormous joy for me to come to school than any other place for various reason a I'm a granddaughter of a school teacher B I am a daughter of a professor see I the daughter-in-law of a school teacher D I myself am a teacher I used to teach computer science in Christ University and later I became so irregular than my own students then I said I will come on a management than a teacher because my my hectic schedules children give me enormous Joy because uh because they are innocent and this the first time I'm addressing any school in Bombay I have not addressed any school in Bombay I come only for I only come to Bombay for meeting never to a school so when there was an urgent meeting came down today evening I have a 7:00 meeting then I thought why can't I come little early anyway I I waste half a day in Bangalore traffic reaching airport I rather leave at 5: in the morning reach bang Bombay at 8:30 so that I can have a session with the students and that then I opted for this I'll tell you a small story I am a grandmother of two grandkids like today's how grandkids are there they are like that normal okay that means more talking and less listening and my granddaughter's name is Krishna and she told me they live in London one day I told her to eat banana fruits you know we India consider a good fruit eat and then she said me a give me La she calls me a like any Canada Grand is called or maharashtrian grandmother is called she said a give me a set of reasons why one should eat banana a 5 years kid okay I said okay I will tell you a story and then you feel like eating you eat I said there was a Rishi by the name dwasa I'm sure most of you know whenever he used to go to anybody's place they used to get scared of him why this fellow has come let him go as early as possible I'm sure when you are not a nice person nobody welcomes you one day his wife told him look people when they you go people run away where I stayed with you for such a long time don't you think I deserve a boon or a special gift first he was very upset then he said okay fine I'll give you a special gift what do you want she said I want a fruit which is not grown in dealoka or up above heaven which is grown on the earth yet it should be used to worship God B it should it should flower once a year and it should not have any seeds C all parts of that tree should be used in cooking D it should give fruits only once in a year and the fruit should be not messy kind you know like not like a mango or apple and such fruit without giving that to God the Puja will be incomplete he said okay he made a banana he made a tree and gave the flower a fruit to to the God and then he called that her name was kadali so he called that fruit a kadali f kadali in Sanskrit became banana in English later so whatever banana tree you see that is the intelligence of a woman who told her husband the kind of fruit which is easy to eat whose leaves are used for eating whose bark is in the stem is used in cooking whose flower is used in the cooking which flowers once a year and there are no seeds so I told it's such a great fruit on the earth if you don't want to eat Krishna you don't have to eat but only learned people eat this one what I'm telling you is every generation it's really wrong to tell that our generation has lot more stress that is the totally wrong parents please please remove it from your head in case you have such things I was in Egypt about 15 years back then I took on egyptology that is a very a person who knows how to read hierography who knows more about Egyptian history and went to one place which is 7,000 years old and there I saw the pyramid inside the pyramid there was hierography so I asked that fellow what it is written here you tell me this fell told me the Builder of Egypt pyramid have written about next Generation next generation is it doesn't respect time doesn't respect money doesn't respect Elders they have less common sense they are less hardw workking I really do not know how they will survive suddenly I felt like you know my parents talking to me like that every generation feels next generation is less than ours we very hardw working we talk no that is really not true every generation have their own plus and minus some totally same any mathematics teacher or any students who love mathematics will appreciate this what is 1 by 2 half 1X 2 is 2x 4 it is also equal to 3x 6 it's also equal to 4 by 8 it's also equal to 16 by 32 the moment I say 1X 2 and 16x 32 16 is a huge number one is small but the ratio Remains the Same and that is the way every generation has their own plus minus Their Own Strength I've seen my great grandmother my grandmother my mother and me and my daughter you know seven generation I have seen they were always worried about disease because there was no antibiotic in those days if the child get fever the mother would have been panicked today you go to a pediatrician in those days it was not there next Generation have seen there was no connectivity coming to Bombay is once in lifetime particularly from people from Karnataka every generation under Go a different stress but they do undergo stress now coming to this topic they told me that you have to address student parents I said I wanted to address students actually but if parents are interested I can but students may get bored I want to tell something to students and then I'll address parents students you should understand one thing when you are in school when you are in school somebody looks after you your teacher your parents look after you they will tell you some good words and you really get moved and they start cmon your mind goes away somewhere because I was also a student Once Upon a Time too many things someone tells you then you won't like it actually you won't like it and too many things we should not tell also if we want to tell parents you should always tell in the form of a story never tell directly you should be hardworking as a child you may not like it but please remember people who care for you only will tell third person will not tell please under don't don't underestimate your parents and your teachers it's your duty to understand what they are telling for what reason they are telling and you have to you have to actually accept it and later it will pay its price later part of your life what you don't learn now will never be learned later it always false ideas When I Grow Big you know I will do I don't know some how many of you have read my book The Story of portado Port is a real story Port was my classmate he was reasonably bright maybe very bright I suppose never he came to school never came to college I was an engineering College he used to stay he was from Goa he used to come he was in the hostel and he never used to come to college our College of 7 to 11 he will come around 10:00 or 9:00 earliest mean 9:00 and he will sit here sit there attend two classes after that afternoon he will come for the lab Etc end of the year he will one month he will get up early L and he will study and you know there is a method in college you take question papers April and October whatever comes in October will never come in April okay I'm sure the school also you have midterm will never come to final okay so eliminate this question answers and then make a approximate question paper and study that and he used to get a first class he did all four years like this once I asked Port Port why you you are such a bright person you don't come to class if you come regular Sly he can get distinction you can get a rank he said sud you do not know in life it is not the education it the connection it really works and we have to build lot of connections you know in when you are young it helps you I came from a middle class family my father was a doctor a gynecologist I never understood this connection all those things then he said my father was in military we were in Kolkata there was a club which we have never seen in our real life so we thought maybe a big man years passed in 1972 I finished my engineering so was port and I didn't meet him for a long time after 30 35 years I think 2008 or 9 I had been to Dubai to deliver a lecture and when the lecture was over I saw somebody waiting for and then he said ma'am I was waiting for you I was surprised a place like Dubai who will wait for me then he said I Port I could not recognize because in 30 40 years people put on weight your hair will be gray you know all those physical changes will happen I said B I would not have recognized I was very happy I told him oh let's have let us sit down and talk he said no I just wanted to tell you one words one word to you so I was waiting I said what happened he said you know do you remember in college I used to Bunk class I said of course I remember you port means bunking class he said I used to bun class and I joined a job and because in those days the moment you have be used to get job in my time and my bosses came to know that my subordinates came to know that I don't have knowledge getting a first class marks are different than knowledge please remember parents your children should be in the pursuit of knowledge than the marks though it's a competitive examination I agree it is a competitive world it is a competitive World competition is thousand times or 10,000 times more than what time I had but with all those things the knowledge which always helps you than your marks in real life so he said I got marks but I did not have knowledge once the subordinates know that you don't have knowledge they don't respect you once the boss knows you don't have knowledge then he wants an uh he wants a a reason to kick you out I was kicked out from one job then I took a second job and I was so much used to getting up 9: in the morning I'll go late to the office I was kicked out there also over a period of time I couldn't get job anywhere and now I have a job as a manager job job or a smaller job in Dubai and my I have two I said what about your family said I have two daughters I left them in Chennai to study I said what he said yes I want they should study well they should not become like me I just waited for you to tell suda one thing when you we were young I used to make fun of you he used to tell me you are like a you are like a uh running race horse because the horse will see neither left nor right it runs same way you always were academic and used to make fun of you today when we called you nerd and I thought I was very smart you know today I feel you are successful and I wasted my life I just wanted to tell you if you don't if you don't discipline if you don't discipline when you are school or in college you pay a heavy price in later part of your life discipline like coming up in a proper way writing properly okay talking properly communicating properly respecting people properly this really helps a long way in your life so I don't want you should be like Port regretting in your old age you should remember
