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.

In this Wonderland

I didn’t write anything in the last few days. Nor did I feel any urge to write. I don’t know if this lack of interest to write is what’s called writer’s block. Or is it simple disenchantment with whatever is happening around me? We’re living in a time that offers much, too much, to writers. The whole world looks like a complex plot for a gigantic epic. The line between truth and fiction has disappeared. Mass murders have become no-news. Animals get more compassion than fellow human beings. Even their excreta are venerated! Folk tales are presented as scientific truths while scientific truths are sacrificed on the altar of political expediency. When the young generation in Nepal set fire to their Parliament and Supreme Court buildings, they were making an unmistakable statement: that they are sick of their political leaders and their systems. Is there any country whose leaders don’t sicken their citizens? I’m just wondering. Maybe, there are good leaders still left in a few coun...

Death as a Sculptor

Book Discussion An Introductory Note : This is not a book review but a reflection on one of the many themes in The Infatuations , novel by Javier Marias. If you have any intention of reading the novel, please be forewarned that this post contains spoilers. For my review of the book, without spoilers, read an earlier post: The Infatuations (2013). D eath can reshape the reality for the survivors of the departed. For example, a man’s death can entirely alter the lives of his surviving family members: his wife and children, particularly. That sounds like a cliché. Javier Marias’ novel, The Infatuations , shows us that death can alter a lot more; it can reshape meanings, relationships, and even morality of the people affected by the death. Miguel Deverne is killed by an abnormal man right in the beginning of the novel. It seems like an accidental killing. But it isn’t. There are more people than the apparently insane killer involved in the crime and there are motives which are di...

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

When Cricket Becomes War

Illustration by Copilot Designer Why did India agree to play Pakistan at all if the animosity runs so deep that Indian players could not even extend the customary handshake: a simple ritual that embodies the very essence of sportsmanship? Cricket is not war, in the first place. When a nation turns a game into a war, it does not defeat its rival; it only wages war on its own culture, poisoning its acclaimed greatness. India which claims to be Viswaguru , the world’s Guru, is degenerating itself day after day with mounting hatred against everyone who is not Hindu. How can we forget what India did to a young cricket player named Mohammed Siraj , especially in this context? In the recent test series against England, India achieved an unexpected draw because of Siraj. 1113 balls and 23 wickets. He was instrumental in India’s series-levelling victory in the final Test at the Oval and was declared the Player of the Match. But India did not celebrate him. Instead, it mocked him for his o...

Whose Rama?

Book Review Title: Whose Rama? [Malayalam] Author: T S Syamkumar Publisher: D C Books, Kerala Pages: 352 Rama may be an incarnation of God Vishnu, but is he as noble a man [ Maryada Purushottam ] as he is projected to be by certain sections of Hindus? This is the theme of Dr Syamkumar’s book, written in Malayalam. There is no English translation available yet. Rama is a creation of the Brahmins, asserts the author of this book. The Ramayana upholds the unjust caste system created by Brahmins for their own wellbeing. Everyone else exists for the sake of the Brahmin wellbeing. If the Kshatriyas are given the role of rulers, it is only because the Brahmins need such men to fight and die for them. Valmiki’s Rama too upheld that unjust system merely because that was his Kshatriya-dharma, allotted by the Brahmins. One of the many evils that Valmiki’s Rama perpetrates heartlessly is the killing of Shambuka, a boy who belonged to a low caste but chose to become an ascetic. The...
