‘ONE TREE BY ONE PERSON’ ATTRACTING THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE

US Moinuddin's One Tree by One Person Attracting Thousands of People

            Bangalore: One Tree by One Person, a revolutionary movement to make India greener was introduced by environmentalist US Moinuddin almost a decade ago. The agenda of this movement is to encourage tree planting and educate the masses about the role of trees in our ecosystem. 

  Everybody loves trees, but most of them do not make an effort to plant them as they get engrossed in their day-to-day activities. To make tree planting more realistic and easier, US Moinuddin began to promote the idea of One Tree by One person, according to which a person is required to plant at least one sapling during their lifetime and take care of it. If the population of Bangalore is 85 lakhs and every resident takes an initiative of planting one sapling, then the city will have 85 lakh trees in addition to the trees that already exist. If every Indian takes an initiative of planting a sapling, then there would be 122 crore trees. This movement is attracting people of all age groups and thousands of people across schools, colleges, offices, factory workers and housewives have already taken a pledge to plant trees and make our environment healthy and beautiful. US Moinuddin has been constantly meeting people and encouraging them to support this campaign where one can witness a Greener India and a Greener Earth. To create awareness about the cause US Moinuddin had directed a drama that took place on trees during the 2011, world environment day.

                                    This movement is also inspiring people in other countries. With this movement the deserts can become green, the barren lands can become productive, the temperature in the cities will decrease, the trees will attract rain replenishing the decreasing water table. This is one campaign that will truly make the Earth a greener place to live in.

Examination Fever

Ameena Sayed

                                                      

Being a teacher teaching some of the key subjects in a private school, I am very well aware of the concept of examination fever.  Most of the students face this problem. Not only the not-so-brilliant students but also many brilliant students  face it because of the pressure they get from internal and external sources to score the highest marks.

Now-a-days even toddlers are suffering from this problem. The parents are pressurizing the students to aim at some imaginary, unrealistic  and unreasonable goal. Due to the constant pressure to excel in all the class tests, monthly tests, and semesters the children are now prone to this examination fever.

Just like any other mental distress , this is also a kind of mental disease. It seems to be just a phrase but it is a serious problem in some severe cases. The constant pressure to excel and to meet their unrealistic aims the students try to put in more and more efforts but end up performing very less than what they would have otherwise performed. Some children will work hard day-in and day-out and do not take care of their health by not following proper diet. This leads to unhealthy body with ever more unhealthy mind which may not function the way it should. As a result, their performance is hampered.

Then what ? This is not the end! Then there is a twist in the story, Then is the saga of  failures. This is then dragged all the life specially if the child has appeared for the SSLC examination. The parents and teachers are somehow never satisfied. Even to a child who scored 98 in Maths, they would say “you could have got 100 very easily“. Come-on, take a break, the child has given the best shot and he has made it. Similarly just-pass children are treated as the failures of future. “He will not make big in life”, a  teacher would just vaguely say . Not to forget to mention about the failed children, it is like the sky has fallen on their puny little heads and that it is so heavy that they cannot lift their head up again. Everyone treats them like criminals who have done the most offensive thing in the world. The world will term them to be the hopeless cases with meager chances to make it in this world.

 

Just like success stories these stories of failures are told to the students again and again who are now aware how the world would treat them if they did not perform well. All these knowledge and information acquired by the students well-in-advance is an enroute to examination fever.

How to overcome this?

Very simple methods to overcome examination fever 

1) Set realistic aims as per your ability and capacity.

2) Be regular to school and be attentive in class.

3) Study regularly and not just a day or a month before examination

4) Come up with more and more questions to understand the subject.

5) Write and practice.

6) Take the exams easily i.e just give your best shot and do not worry  

    about the result because if you follow 1 to 5, there is no chance of   

    getting less marks

7)Eat nutritious meals and sleep well because healthy body and sound mind is the key of success.

8) Most important be happy and cheerful and enjoy your student hood to the  fullest.

A GOVERNMENT SCHOOL IN ILYASNAGAR IS A TRUE EXAMPLE OF DISCIPLINE, CREATIVITY AND HARD WORK

US Moinuddin with the students of Government Urdu School, Ilyasnagar

                                                                                                                                           

 Bangalore: A government Urdu school which is situated in the Jamia Masjid campus Ilyasnagar, Bangalore South is a true example of discipline, creativity and hard work. The school which was started in the year 1982  by a well know visionary and social server the late N.Syed Umar is attracting a large number of students not only from Ilyasnagar and the surrounding areas but also from areas situated at a distance of over seven kilometers such as Avalahalli.

Headmistress Sirajunnisa Inspiring the Creativity of the students to Evolve

        The creativity of the students of this school is clearly visible when one visits the class rooms. Dozens of projects and charts adorn the classrooms in an artistic fashion. One painting by a child named Bilal gives a strong message condemning child labor and encouraging children to attend school. One more student, Nagina of seventh standard artistically makes a comparison between wealth and education with the painting of a balance scale.  Here she gives more importance to education rather than wealth. There are dozens of such paintings done by the students which not only exhibit their creativity but also give a powerful message for everybody.

Walls of the school put to the best possible use

The teachers of the school are innovative and come with new ideas that help the children to evolve. The teaching aids supplied by the education department too are systematically utilized for the betterment of the students.   Science exhibitions, art and craft exhibitions, training programmes for teachers are often held in this school.

Author, Educationist, Motivational Speaker and Environmentalist US Moinuddin who interacted with the school students said, “In India people underestimate government schools. We need to realise that many successful people such as Narayan Murthy, the founder of Infosys and former President of India, K.R.Narayanan too had studied in government schools.” The headmistress of the school Sirajunnisa said, “We have a group of committed and hardworking teachers who identify children that are not going to schools because of poor financial conditions of their parents. We request their parents to enroll them in our school so that their future is not ruined.” This school which is utilising every possible resource to give the best possible education to its students is a role model not only for other government schools but also to many private schools too.

US MOINUDDIN'S DREAMS, ACTION AND SUCCESS INSPIRING THE YOUNG AND THE OLD

     

DREAMS, ACTION AND SUCCESS

The first book of Indian author US Moinuddin, ‘Dreams, Action and Success’ has received remarkable appreciation from the public. The book was first published by Magnifique and subsequently by Prism.

A desire to feel important, a desire to have an identity of our own, a desire to become ‘successful’ in our chosen field of excellence, is predominant in all the human beings. When we talk about success, it means different things to different people. Interestingly, every individual has his own definition of success. For a tennis player it could mean winning the Wimbledon or any other Grand Slam title, for a film actor it could mean winning the Oscars, for a politician it could mean becoming the member of a parliament or the minister of a state. But beyond all our ambitions and desires, most of the people are unable to generate the results they dream of. The reason is that most of the people do not have the formula of becoming successful. In short, ‘Dreams, Action and Success’ provide its readers the recipe of becoming successful in their lives. This book caters to the needs of the young and the old and has a message for politicians, students, businessmen, house wives sports stars or any person who wants to make his life better.

The thirteen chapters of the book tackle the practical issues of day-to-day life which confront people of all age groups. In the first chapter titled 'The Beginning' the author narrates success stories of Soichiro Honda of Honda Corporation, Colonel Sanders of KFC, Narayan Murthy of Infosys, Nelson Mandela, Walt Disney and Mahatma Gandhi to name a few. The author justifies by saying, “if someone else can do it so can you.” Once the enthusiasm to read further is aroused, the second and subsequent chapters go on inspiring and providing strategies of generating successful results in our lives. The title 'Dreams, Action and Success' clearly states, every venture starts with a dream, and the dream should be accompanied by action. Finally, with your action follows success. Catchy titles of the chapters accompanied by inspiring quotes make it a very interesting read. If you want to develop a healthy relationship with people, or attain career success, or want to learn the formula of success, Dreams, Action and Success offers this and much more to the readers.
