In about ninety days, this paddy field would be ready for harvesting once the paddy is transplanted in the field which is now ready. As there is access to water, some farmers try three crops in a year.
This sight that I see on my way to work is a refreshing every day, because from the time of transplanting till the field is harvested, Anna and I get an opportunity to see the care the farmer provides to protect the plants and take care of them till the time of the harvest.
It is a symbol of much significance because I spend most of time with children. The plants do not grow up automatically. They grow and bear fruit because they are cared for and nourished by manuring!
I met with a preoccupied family, who feel that the school ought to provide all the care and learning their son requires. They seem to confine themselves to giving him boarding and lodging and feel justified with what they are doing. When that child was engaged in a play setting all the hyperactivity that parents talked about vanished.
Let me suggest that some children appear to be hyperactive because that is the only way they can communicate that they need attention and meaningful engagement. Especially if the child is quieter at school or in other places when he is pleasantly engaged, it is even more indicative of the 'hyperactivity' being an 'attention seeking effort' of the child.
Give children attention- they surprise us by their creative responses!
