Hols are over! What next?

Of course, studies, classes, tuitions! - I hear what you all say in chorus.

School books do provide you with a lot of knowledge. I know you all read a little more onthe subjects from other books, sometimes even books prescribed by other Boards.

A few more read Gokulam, Chandamama, Tinkle and so on.

But, is just reading and saving information on the hard disk of your brain, just enough?
Do you hear from your parents, teachers, uncles and aunties that there are a few skills which need every child's attention?

Do you like to learn to play a musical instrument?
Do you want to tell your friends whats happening in your apartment complex?
Do you like to talk about safety of school children on the road, in your school's morning assembly?
Do you wish to know more about your town or city?
Are you eager to know what kind of work people do in a bank?
Do you know there are innovators from rural areas?

Then, be on your toes to learn some extra skills - communication, writing, public speaking and above all thinking out of the box!
Keep your eyes, ears open but allow your mind to sound you off whenever something worthwhile is happening. Now read about the awards for grassroot innovations.

I will come back with more ideas and resource places to hone your special skills. Keep visiting the blog.

And yeah, all the best for this all new year!
