                             No melody …. No life. 

We lost a good human being in P.B. Srinivas’ death;  how many golden songs he has given to Tamil and Kannada cinemas;  we are very much indebted to the great voice of P.B. Srinivas.   To get rid of stress, I used to sing always old songs, anything in Tamil, Kannada or Hindi;   I never bother about my voice, but surely, after singing his some old songs for an hour, I would become very cool and calm.   On several occasions, songs of PBS helped me very much;    I use to sing always his songs whether it is in Tamil or Kannada. 

Indian cinema has produced two melody kings, one is Rafi in North and another one is PBS in South.  Both are equally great.  PBS voice is so smooth and fits for all occasions.

My favourite hotel in Chennai is Woodlands in RK Salai.  They had another restaurant in the same road called Woodlands Drive-in.  It was a sprawling area with hundreds of very big trees;  even though it was not maintained well, still it was pleasure to visit that  garden and hotel itself was a wonderful experience.  Many VIPs used to come there daily.  We are unfortunate, today we don’t have a place in the heart of the City today.    Whenever I went there, I could see PBS was sitting in a corner of the building, eating dosa along with a cup of coffee.  He was keeping more than 6 pens in different colours in his shirt pocket.  I used to go to his table, start singing his songs.  Without any gap, he joined with my voice.

It had happened several times;  every time, it was a lovely experience for me with him.   In Tamil, Manidan Enbavan Deivamagalam, Kalangalil Aval Vasanthan and in Kannada, Nee Bandu Ninthaga, Suvvi Suvvi Suvvale are all time favourites for me. 

I cannot say there is no singer today in the field like PBS;  I sincerely feel, it the duty of the music directors to tune such melodious songs and try with the singers.  Gone are the days with the legends like Viswanathan and Ramamurthy. 

Will my expectation reach someone who are really concerned ?  If so, I am really lucky and we will get singers like PBS again with the blessings of PBS and Rafi.

It is exam time in India and parents are under more pressure

This is the time everyone is sitting cross legged with lot of tension in our country.  Yes, it is exam time and somehow every family is concerned with and connected to this period either through their own children or grand children.     The two or three months parents sacrifice their maximum best.  

Parents and children cannot take this period lightly;  as if it is a life saving one, it is being treated in every home in India.  Just because of this stress only, the schooling is not an interested one for the children.    Peak of the learning and teaching is the exam.   There the children fall into the clutches of education.    

I have had an opportunity to talk to a group of students some 15 days ago, in a Counselling;  all of them were going to appear for their X and XII Std. Board  Exams in March and April this year.  I could see that every one was tired, under unimpressive mood and depression.   I felt very sad at this.   They don’t have any interest to take the exam willingly.    

I always like children should be very happy and smiling always, otherwise I become sad.   I know,  normally during the exams the students are under pressure;  but, I see it is growing day by day and surely it is not a healthy sign at all, no authority is coming forward to check it.   Children are not supposed to be this much under pressure.   I am sure, under pressure no one can bring the results.    Only when we are calm and quiet, we can think better and act wisely.  Dhoni, Sachin, Roger Federer . . . .  I can name thousands of people in this list.

Unfortunately we don’t understand this theory;  we, from all the corners give pressure to the students, especially during exam time.  How far are we fare enough, please tell me.  I am always for students and their health.   Whoever harm to them at any time, I would like to treat them as my enemies.    I see when the exams are nearing and in the name of exam and marks, the students lose all their play times and even they don’t eat well.  Naturally their health will go upset and it will take lot of time to recover for them.   These exams should not be the reason at all to spoil the health and mind of our children.  Are we not ashamed of this kind of education?

Buck does not stop here: 

A  friend, who is also a doctor, is also a good Counsellor with lot of concern was discussing with me on this same point.  To her Centre many parents bring their children often;  children’s health and mind are much affected because of exam preparation.   Due to pressure, their performance in exams will go low, there is no doubt.  They lost good sleep and appetite …. These are the complaints.  In some cases, children,  to ease out their tension and stress, involve in many wrong means.  They develop a habit of smoking cigarette and beedi;  some start to drink;  they take drugs;  I could not write here so many students develop other very bad habits, which spoil the entire society ….. students don’t know what exactly they do when they are under stress.    What a pity !

The Marks and Exam stress are too much for this younger generation.  Students can be assessed in thousand ways, not exactly by such.  Let us not torture the children.  The Central and State Governments cannot be the silent spectators at least hereafter.   It has to design the school education system, which should be stress free;  children should love to come to school.  Thus our literacy rate also will improve very fast and there won’t be any drop out.    

Learning and Teaching are a pleasurable ones in Schools for children; unfortunately, somewhere our system is collapsed and instead they have become a punishment.

Today, the teachers are punished for beating or abusing the children in schools, it is excellent.  Same time, when the children are under depression or stress and any school is the reason for it, the recognition of the said school should be cancelled. 

When our Governments will wake up ?
