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

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...

War and Meaning of Victory

In the summer of 1999, while the rest of India was soaked in monsoon and Cricket World Cup, the country’s soldiers were clawing up frozen cliffs daring the bullets that came shooting from above. India’s incorrigible neighbour had sent its soldiers and militants to capture the snow-covered peaks of Kargil. It was an act of deception, a capture of India’s land stealthily. The terrain was harsh and hostile, testing the limits of human courage with every jagged step. The Kargil War was not just against a human enemy, but against peaks of stones and snow where the air itself was an adversary. Three months of bitter conflict and subhuman killing ended in India’s victory over the invading Pakistan. Victory! July 26 is celebrated ever after as Kargil Vijay Diwas by India. What is victory, however? Philosophically, I mean. We are supposed to be rational (philosophical) creatures, after all. “ W ar does not determine who is right,” Bertrand Russell said famously, “but who is left.” Every...

Stories from the North-East

Book Review Title: Lapbah: Stories from the North-East (2 volumes) Editors: Kynpham Sing Nongkynrih & Rimi Nath Publisher: Penguin Random House India 2025 Pages: 366 + 358   Nestled among the eastern Himalayas and some breathtakingly charming valleys, the Northeastern region of India is home to hundreds of indigenous communities, each with distinct traditions, attire, music, and festivals.

Tribal matrilineal societies thrive in Meghalaya, while Nagaland and Mizoram showcase rich Christian tribal traditions. Manipur is famed for classical dance and martial arts, and Tripura and Arunachal Pradesh add further layers of ethnic plurality and ecological richness. Sikkim blends Buddhist heritage with mountainous serenity, and Assam is known for its tea gardens and vibrant Vaishnavite culture. Collectively, the Northeast is a uni...

The RSS and Paradoxes

The oldest racist organisation in the world is all set to celebrate the centenary of its existence. The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) was founded in 1925 with the specific goal of unifying the Hindus in India under a religious and cultural banner. The Indian Independence struggle that was going on in full force at that time was no concern of the RSS. Though it gave the liberty to its individual members to take part in the struggle, the organisation’s official policy was to stay clear of it altogether. That was only one of the many paradoxical ironies that marked the RSS which was a nationalist organisation that cared little for the Independence of the nation. Today, the Prime Minister of India is a man who was trained and nurtured by the RSS. Shashi Tharoor wrote a massive book on the paradoxes that underscore the personality of Mr Narendra Modi. The RSS and paradoxes go hand in hand, if we take Modi as a specimen of the organisation’s great achievements. Tharoor’s final asses...
