The mind likes a strange idea as little as the body likes a strange protein and resists it with similar energy. It would not perhaps be too fanciful to say that a new idea is the most quickly acting antigen known to science. If we watch ourselves honestly we shall often find that we have begun to argue against a new idea even before it has been completely stated. Wilfred Batten Lewis Trotter (1872-1939) English surgeon.

LIFE SKILLS WORKSHOP
Recently attended the workshop on life skills in Sahibabad. It was a three day workshop.An innovative one, it was basically for us as a teacher to understand the concept and meaning of life skills. How do we imbibe in ourselves and as a student even how can one nurture these skills in our life. I had a chance to conduct a one hour session with the group of around Eight students of 9 and 10 grade.It was full of fun activities and at the same time to inculcate within them basically what life skills are.
