Struggle of Gnanyog Academy

Me and my partner have initialized "Gnanyog Academy" at Dabhoda from 25th June, 2016. Resigning job as an English teacher, I've been teaching in my Gnanyog Academy in Dabhoda. Settling any business demands 1 or 2 years. But observing the circumstances in Dabhoda, it's too difficult to find even the students who have got over 70% in any standard from 5 to 12.

No doubt we've the students who have obtained over 80%. There are 45 students in our Gnanyog Academy. And all students in our Gnanyog Academy haven't got over 80%. Dabhoda is a very big village, but at education level it is one of the most backward villages. Sometimes I feel I've made a big mistake. Then wonder to spare time for it. After all, "Rome was not built in one day." Everyday we call and try to find the new students who have even got 60%. But it's in vain.

Though nearly 25-30 students of std -10 visited our Gnanyog Academy. But we take an entrance test of the students. And those students couldn't solve simple questions which can be easily solved by std 7 students. I still remember, one student even didn't know even 10 spellings. We are never on leave. Monday to Saturday is coaching and on Sunday we conduct an examination. So, we are working hard for the future of students and ours. If we succeed, it'll be God's bless. And if we fail, it'll be a lesson & experience remain with me forever.

After all, "No pain, No gain."

A One Xavier's International School Experience

11th May, 2016 {11-05-2016} was the last day of mine in "A One Xavier's International School." I resigned there. My eyes were filled with tears little bit. Heart was beating faster. I used to make fun of every teacher. But I must say there wasn't a single teacher over there who was angry with me. All were very helpful. Even one teacher used to say, "We will never find such a harmonious company of teachers." And I used to agree with her.

There were many teachers who were even older than I. Their age would be among 30 to 35. Still they never got angry with me. I really respect all teachers including Trustee and Principal. All teachers helped each other what they could do. And the one who always disturbed everyone was me. Disturb means I constantly mocked them. It was too much fun. When I cut a joke at any teacher, even each teacher took it for granted and enjoyed laughing loudly.

There was a kind of care that we get in our family among staff members. Actually, there wasn't a group of teachers. But it was a "One Family." Though I've served in 2 schools before this but the care, help, fun and friendship with these teachers I've experienced are just unforgettable. Some teachers were younger than I. I learned a lot from that school and staff members.

I was very much influenced by one of my colleagues who had studied through English Medium {CBSE}. Her grip over English was just spectacular. Last day, she helped me to write a resignation letter. Though, I could write resignation letter but I had never written. So, I didn't know how to write. I want to learn speaking English like that Ma'am who helped me writing a resignation letter. I'm too much impressed by her English. One day, I'll surely learn the way she speaks English fluently & correctly.

There was a blend of experiences of different kinds. Still I'm little reluctant resigning school, but I had to do it. Now, I want to try something else. And I'll give my entire time, dedication & concentration to it. I'll miss each and everyone badly. Had a lot of fun.

મને એટલી ક્યાં નવરાશ છે કે
હું નસીબનું લખેલું જોઉં ,
બસ મારા મિત્રોનું સ્મિત જોઇને
માની લઉં છું કે હું નસીબદાર છું . . . . .😊

Great Thoughts

"જિંદગી બદલી નાખે તેવું કડવું સત્ય"

ચકલી જયારે જીવિત રહે છે ત્યારે તે

કીડીઓને ખાય છે,

ચકલી જયારે મરે છે ત્યારે

કીડીઓ એને ખાય જાય છે

એટલા માટે એ વાતનું ધ્યાન રાખો કે “સમય અને સ્થિતિ” ક્યારેય પણ બદલી શકે છે.

- એટલા માટે ક્યારેય કોઈની અપમાન ન કરવું.

- ક્યારેય કોઈને નીચા ન ગણવા.

- તમે શક્તિશાળી છો પણ સમય તમારાથી પણ વધારે શક્તિશાળી છે.

- એક વૃક્ષથી લાખો માચીસની સળીઓ બનાવી શકાય છે,

પણ એક માચિસની સળીથી લાખો વૃક્ષ પણ સળગી જાય છે.

- કોઈ માણસ કેટલો પણ મહાન કેમ ન હોય, પણ કુદરત ક્યારેય કોઈને મહાન બનવાનો મોકો નથી આપતો.

- કંઠ આપ્યો કોયલએ તો, રૂપ લઇ લીધું.

- રૂપ આપ્યું મોરને તો, ઈચ્છા લઇ લીધી.

- આપી ઈચ્છા ઇન્સાનને તો, સંતોષ લઇ લીધો.

- આપ્યો સંતોષ સંતને તો, સંસાર લઇ લીધો.

- આપ્યો સંસાર ચલાવવા દેવી-દેવતાઓને તો, તેની પાસે પણ મોક્ષ લઇ લીધો.

- ન કરશો ક્યારેય અભિમાન, પોતાની જાત પર ‘એ ઇન્સાન’

ભગવાને મારી અને તમારી જેવા કેટલાને માટીથી બનાવ્યા છે અને માટીમાં મેળવી નાખ્યા છે.

માનવી ફક્ત ત્રણ વસ્તુઓ માટે જ મહેનત કરે છે –

મારું નામ ઊંચું થાઇ.
મારા કપડા સારા હોય.
મારું મકાન સુંદર હોય.

પરંતુ, માણસ જયારે મરે છે ત્યારે ભગવાન તેની આ ત્રણેય વસ્તુ

સૌથી પહેલા બદલી નાખે છે.

નામ – (સ્વર્ગીય)
કપડા – (કફન)
મકાન – (સ્મશાન)
જીવનનું કડવું સત્ય, જેને આપણે સમજવા જ નથી માંગતા...

આ સરસ પક્તિ જે પણ મહાન પુરુષે લખી છે

તેણે શું સુંદર લાઈન લખી છે.

એક પથ્થર ફક્ત એક જ વાર મંદિર જાય છે અને ભગવાન બની જાય છે...

જયારે

માનવી દરરોજ મંદિર જાય છે તો પણ પથ્થર જ રહે છે....

સુંદર લાઈન

એક મહિલા પુત્રને જન્મ આપવા માટે પોતાની સુંદરતાનો ત્યાગ કરે છે....

અને

તે જ પુત્ર એક સુંદર પત્ની માટે પોતાની માતા નો ત્યાગ કરે છે....

લાઈફમાં આપણને બધી જગ્યાએ

“સક્સેક” જોઈએ છે.

ફક્ત ફૂલ વાળાની દુકાન એવી છે

જ્યાં આપણે કહીએ છીએ કે

“હાર” જોઈએ છે.

કારણકે

આપણે ભગવાનથી

“જીતી” નથી શકતા...!!

********************

ધીરે ધીરે વાંચો આ અમુલ્ય મેસેજને...

આપણે અને આપણા ભગવાન

બંને એક જેવા જ છીએ.

જે રોજ ભૂલી જઈએ છીએ...

તે આપણી ભૂલોને અને...

આપણે તેમની મહેરબાનીઓને....

मैं पैसा हूँ।

मैं पैसा हूँ.....

एक निर्जीव वस्तु.....
आप मेरी तरफ देखो तो मैं आपकी तरफ देखता भी नहीं........फिर भी आपके पास हूँ तो सब आपको देखते हैं.........।

आप मुझसे बात करो तो मैं आपसे बात भी नहीं करता....... मगर मैं आपके पास हूँ तो सब आपके साथ बात करते हैं.........।

मैं आपके पास हूँ तो आपका हूँ.... आपके पास नहीं हूँ तो आपका नहीं हूँ ...मगर मैं आपके पास हूँ तो सब आपके हैं.......।

मैं कुछ भी नहीं हूँ मगर मैं निर्धारित करता हूँ .......कि लोग आपको कितनी इज्जत देते है.......।

मैं भगवान् नहीं.....मगर लोग मुझे भगवान् से कम नहीं मानते........।

मैं बोलता नहीं....मगर सबकी बोलती बंद करवा सकता हूँ.......।

मुझे आप मरने के बाद ऊपर नहीं ले जा सकते...... मगर जीते जी मैं आपको बहुत ऊपर ले जा सकता हूँ.......।

मुझ में बहुत ताकत है.... मगर फिर भी बहुत सीमितताएं भी है.....
कभी आप सोच कर देखिये क्या आप सच में मुझसे प्यार करते हैं.....नहीं कोई मुझसे प्यार नहीं करता वो सर्फ मुझे इस लिए पसंद करते हैं......क्योकि मैं एक साधन हूँ उनकी खुशियों का.......।
मैं सिर्फ जरुरत के समय पैसा हूँ ......फिर बस एक कागज़ का टुकड़ा हूँ........।

सिर्फ मुझे पाकर कोई खुश रहता तो शायद बिल गेट्स दुनिया का सबसे खुस इंसान होता......।

मैं नमक की तरह हूँ जो जरुरी तो है...... मगर जरुरत से ज्यादा हो तो जिंदगी का स्वाद बिगाड़ देता है.....।

मैं सारे फसाद की जड़ हूँ.....मगर फिर भी न जाने क्यों सब मेरे पीछे इतना पागल हैं.......।

इतिहास में कई ऐसे उदाहरण मिल जाएंगे जिनके पास मैं बेसुमार था..
मगर फिर भी वो मरे..और रोने वाला कोई नहीं था.......।

मुझे पसंद करो सिर्फ इस हद तक की लोग आपको नापसन्द न करने लग......।             

क्योकी

मैं पैसा हूँ ..

ENGLISH LEARNING

Today, in my school one of my colleagues {Sir} took an oath to speak only English while talking to each other. I'm also an English teacher so, I would love to speak English fluently and correctly. The sir {My colleague} who made me take an oath, is English Medium teacher and he also wants to put English in practice as much as he can. I appreciate my colleague's this idea. Frankly I want to say, in my school according to me, only 3 "English Medium" teachers can speak English fluently besides our principal. Though, I don't mind for that. While in our "Gujarati Medium", only two teachers can talk in English including me, too. I don't want to reveal the teachers' names because it'll hurt the others.

One of my colleagues from Gujarati Medium has been trying to learn English for long time. He speaks out English in front of all standards' students. Though, some intelligent students know that my best friend's English is little faulty. But he keeps trying to learn English. That's appreciated. I know he'll learn English well if he continues in this way. Aftr all, one will learn English if one tries at least. With respect, I know sometimes he makes mistakes while speaking English. But he also takes my help to improve his English. He's my one of the best frnd or colleague. And last but not least, I can teach English only while he can teach Maths and Science in school and in tuition he teaches Maths, Science and English. So ultimately, he's cleverer than I. I admit that fully.
