Fulfilling your Parental Dreams

Every child is a dream particularly for the parents. A dream that unfolds gradually as the child grows up and ascends the ladder of success. The education of the child plays the most vital role in that process right from the kindergarten.

A child who is admitted to KG today will complete her schooling after 14 years. It is then that the dream takes on added wings. Career becomes the focus. Education becomes a challenge. The right institution of higher learning and the expenses involved become the concern of the parents. The expenditure after 14 years will be more than double of what it is today. That is, if the completion of a chosen course requires Rs 30 lakh today, the amount will be about Rs 70 lakh in the year 2031, when the KG child of today will complete her class 12.

Planning becomes essential for parents. Right from the time the child is admitted to the KG. Planning is more important today than ever because we live in a world that is changing rapidly. Yesterday’s technology becomes obsolete tomorrow. Yesterday’s knowledge becomes insufficient tomorrow. It is enough that we take a casual look at the changes that took place in the last fourteen years to help us imagine what the world will be like fourteen years from now.

Smartphones and social networks have transformed the way people communicate. E-commerce sites have revolutionized shopping. Digital technology is working miracles even in health care. The same technology has brought knowledge literally to the fingertips.

The world is poised to become more complex and challenging in the coming years. New academic courses will emerge. The challenges for the students will be manifold, ranging from choosing the right course to getting admission. Imagination will be the most salient redeeming factor.

We can start by employing our imagination right now. Planning for that future which lies ahead for our children will require quite a bit of imagination. Assocham estimated last year that the cost of education had risen over 150 per cent in the last ten years. It is likely to rise further. Hence it is extremely important to consider our child’s future as an investment with top priority. Thankfully, there are many options available today. There are numerous firms offering diverse investment plans geared particularly for children and their bright future.

There is a wide variety of investment plans available today for parents who wish to provide the best possible education to their children without financial hurdle. Invest in best options: that is the secret.

Sabse Important Plan by Birla Sun Life is one of the best options available in India today for parents who are looking for investment options on behalf of their children. Like the other leading financial services in the country, Birla Sun Life offers expert services that will enable our children to live life fully, to say YES to future.

The Adventures of Toto as a comic strip

'The Adventures of Toto' is an amusing story by Ruskin Bond. It is prescribed as a lesson in CBSE's English course for class 9. Maggie asked her students to do a project on some of the lessons and Femi George's work is what I would like to present here. Femi converted the story into a beautiful comic strip. Her work will speak for itself and let me present it below. Femi George Student of Carmel Public School, Vazhakulam, Kerala Similar post: The Little Girl

Two Nuns and two questions

The nuns kept in custody Two Catholic nuns were arrested on 25 July 2025 at Durg railway station for allegedly trafficking tribal women from Narayanpur in Chhattisgarh to Agra in UP. Today’s newspapers in Kerala have expressed their contempt of the act more vehemently than I had expected. It seems secularism has hope yet in this country. For those who are not aware of the incident, two nuns were arrested because some criminals of a depraved organisation called Bajrang Dal in Chhattisgarh chose to conclude that the nuns were committing the crime of human-trafficking. Since that charge wouldn’t stick, because the women confessed that they were going voluntarily to take up jobs with the help of the nuns in order to raise their families from miserable poverty in a country that claims to be a $5-tillion-economy, another charge was fabricated that the nuns had indulged in religious conversion. Now let us look at certain facts. Though I keep questioning the Christian churches for...

Missing Women of Dharmasthala

The entrance to the temple Dharmasthala: The Shadows Behind the Sanctum Ananya Bhatt, a young medical student from Manipal, visited the Dharmasthala Temple and she never returned to her hostel. She vanished without a trace. That was in 2003. Her mother, Sujata Bhatt, a stenographer working with the CBI, rushed to the temple town in search of her daughter. Some residents told her that they had seen Ananya walking with the temple officials. The local police refused to help in any way. Soon Sujata was abducted by three men, assaulted, and rendered unconscious. She woke up months later in a hospital in Bangalore (Bengaluru). Now more than two decades later, she is back in the temple premises to find her daughter’s remains and perform her last rites. Because a former sanitation worker of the temple came to the local court a few days back with a human skeleton and the confession that he had buried countless schoolgirls in uniform and other young women in the temple premises. This ma...

The Chhattisgarh Story

Deforestation in Chhattisgarh Kerala’s Catholic Church is teeming with rage these days because of the arrest of two nuns in Chhattisgarh on false charges. No one seems to understand the real politics behind the Modi government’s enmity towards Christian missionaries in Chhattisgarh as well as other backward states in its neighbourhood. Modi is selling the tribal areas and forestlands to the corporate sector part by part, his friend Adani being the chief benefactor. The Christian missionaries are a severe hindrance in that commerce. Let us get some facts right, at least. The Adivasi villagers allege that Gram Sabhas (local governing bodies) were forged or manipulated under pressure from Adani and the BJP government officials in order to take away their lands. In Hasdeo Aranya, minutes of the local body meetings were altered to show the villagers’ consent for land transfers. Also, the Chhattisgarh Scheduled Tribes Commission found that Panchayat secretaries were detained and coerc...

The Little Girl

The Little Girl is a short story by Katherine Mansfield given in the class 9 English course of NCERT. Maggie gave an assignment to her students based on the story and one of her students, Athena Baby Sabu, presented a brilliant job. She converted the story into a delightful comic strip. Mansfield tells the story of Kezia who is the eponymous little girl. Kezia is scared of her father who wields a lot of control on the entire family. She is punished severely for an unwitting mistake which makes her even more scared of her father. Her grandmother is fond of her and is her emotional succour. The grandmother is away from home one day with Kezia's mother who is hospitalised. Kezia gets her usual nightmare and is terrified. There is no one at home to console her except her father from whom she does not expect any consolation. But the father rises to the occasion and lets the little girl sleep beside him that night. She rests her head on her father's chest and can feel his heart...
