Firdose played music on her Keyboard like a seasoned professional.  . Listening to her play Celine Dion’s “My Heart Will Go On,” Boney M’s “Rasputin” along with Hindi classics such as “Mera Juta Hai Japani” and other hits was a treat to the audience. She also played nursery rhymes to entertain the nursery kids of the school. Daughter of cricket player Syed Rashid Hussein, Firdose has performed in front of the Indian and Pakistan national cricket teams too. Author, Educationist and Environmentalist US Moinuddin who was present during the performance said, “Firdose is a role model to the thousands of people who either blame their destiny, ill-health or circumstances for not doing things in life. If a person wants to follow their passion or want to achieve incredible feats in life, they can do it irrespective of the deterrents that crop up during the journey.”

Firdose’s mother Yasmeen has dedicated her life for her daughter, encouraging her in every possible way. “Firdose is incredible in grasping things, you teach her once and she does it.” Yasmeen said. This child prodigy has a liking for painting, tree planting and singing too. When nature takes one thing from one’s life it also provides something in abundance.

‘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 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.
