Igniting minds to develop problem solvers and researchers for a sustainable world
Being an altruist
In todays world, it is evident we prioritise instant gratification and results, and subsequently, this sees individuals emphasising the rhetoric of ‘what’s in it for me?’, instead of ‘what is best for all?’ or ‘what is best for future generations?’. This cannot be the way we think. We must change for the betterment of the planet and for the current and future generations.
Altruism and its hues
We think that the world is selfish, brutal and self centered. But what about people who have completely given their lives for others?. History is replete with copious examples. Today India is independent because of such amazing altruistic people who gave up their lives for India’s freedom. Let us explore this intriguing attribute
The altruist mindset
The tendency to help another may be innate to humans, but some are more human than others. Yes, some are altruists who go out of their way, subjecting themselves happily to pain and difficulties for the sake of another. Perhaps, for such beings, there is no ‘other’ being; but a single integrated whole where the self has extended much beyond one’s being.
A clinical approach to problem solving
We all react differently to problems. Some succumb, while others get excited. But why is a problem in most cases a ‘problem’ for most? Young minds attempt a clinical diagnosis of the problem.
About problem solving
All of us encounter problems; only some solve them faster than others. A special talent? Not really; it is all about a mindset they possess resulting in a skill they have mastered through repeated practise. A disciplined process is all it takes to become an effective and efficient problem solver.
Solving a problem
Problems are commonplace, but not the solution; more so because we lack the mindset and the skill to approach it. All it requires is training the mind, which if started early in life, will empower us to explore problems like a situation to be explored rather than a crisis to defeat us.
Mindfulness and Interdependence
The solutions to man’s biggest problems lie in the simplest of things. However it is the simplest things that are the most difficult to follow or abide by. One of them is being interdependent. But success lies in following the rudiments.
Exploring interdependence
To lead sustainable lives and contribute to a sustainable world, we need to be interdependent. This connect extends far beyond our imagination- into all animate, inanimate, plants and objects, interlinked with the same bond of commonness. Thus, being ONE, it magically empowers us to exert a collaborative influence on our environment, literally, in a constructive way.
Mindfulness and Interdependence
The boons of connecting and collaborating are manifold. However it gets elusive since we are seldom conditioned to work collaboratively. However it can also boomerang if the collaborative partners are not chosen mindfully
Assistive Technology for Differently-abled Students
Empathy rules, But inclusive empathy rocks. What could be better and more sublime than devising ways to make our less fortunate brethren feel at par with the rest? Can Assistive Technology make it happen?
Identify the deep connect
Being mindful and our respect for interdependence are two of life’s experiences of paramount importance. However it calls for strong inner purposefulness and will power to practise. Here, young learners explore this dual conundrum
Trust and collaboration
Collaboration is the corner stone of efficiency, and trust has always been the pillar behind collaboration. Students as learners realise the same, and relate it with their own lives and the world beyond.
The frontiers of collaboration
To collaborate is a primal human attribute; unfortunately we allow it to waste away through disuse and abuse. The younger lot of our times, have however realised its worth
Importance of collaboration
In a world driven by individualistic prowess and self valorisation, collaboration apparently takes a back seat. However it has not really done us much good. Even history and tradition proves otherwise. It is thus worth taking a peak into the values of collaboration, viewed through teen lenses.

Humour in leadership
A dash of humour spices lives; and when it comes to leadership, it gets imperative. Leadership in this perspective, has the potential to change global equations.
