Open Discussion on How Far Internet is Benificial?

Open Discussion on how far internet is benificial?

Mohd Shfi Shiekh : "Well begining is half done" Let me start.

Man is a living in a digital age. It is possible that he can  breathe without air  for hours or can remain empty stomach for couple of days but it seems that his soul would go restless without a mobile phone. More apt to tell is that he can not sleep well or feel jolly mood without internet.

I hope all the members would add to my begining of the discussion.

Ashiq Hussain Mir, Bonpora:  Internet is very much beneficial for all of us. It acts as mentor for it's users. We can ask anything it will give us result. We can also use internet to get information, knowledge and much more. Students can get study materials of different subjects from different sites. Infact, internet is big advantage in modern era.

Tariq Ahmad Malik: Internet is a virtual window to the outer world. It is the store house of science, technology, communication, and moving pictures. Its content is in scores of formates. There are word files, pdf files, xl files, mp3,mp4 and the others. There are audio as well as video files on the net.
Internet has entered in every human activity of the present day. It has its role in banks, schools, hospitals, medical labs, ticket counters etc.

Sajid Mir: One of the one reasons that the current world is popularly known as"global village" is the invention of "internet".
But every invention has advantages and disadvantages as well.
The utilisation of it depends on the interest of the user. If we can utilize and surf it in a proper way it can benefit us more than anything else but at the same time  it can also destroy and ruin our life as well.
Students can learn from best tutors through online learning, Skype and video calling. With the installation of optic fibre(internal reflection) 4g connectivity was introduced and it increased the internet speed tremendously.
Advantages and disadvantages will be discussed in detail.
Stay tuned...

Firdous (Ahmad Memorial) : I think a vast majority of social media users are youth....it further investigates the nagative impact of the youth by the social media on their reading habit.Reading is capabale of enriching ones intellectual capabilities and it devlopes insight into human problems  and has a major impact on their attitudes towards society. .......what do you think am i right or not
Social isolation due to heavy internet use.obasity nd depression may also results by spending more time on internet.....so it means it has equal disadvantages

Tariq Ahmad Malik: Yes, Firdous, you are right. There are twi sides of every thing. One is calked use, another misuse. If we use internetfor our betterment, it is a real boon.

Abid HussainKhan: Though a valuable source of knowledge,internet can never b an alternative to knowledge that books encompass.

Tariq AhmadMalik : Internet has saved our time and efforts to the unbelievable extents. Traditional letters would take months to reach their addresses; the e-mail does reach within a second.
We would spend hours in the line at banking counters initially, now internet banking, ATM transactions, money transfers take just one minute.

Sajid Ah Mir:  Internet can also be threat to our security. So we should not disclose our identity on webpages and social media sites.
The recent example is the Facebook leaking the data during US elections.

Tariq Ahmad Malik: In order to inculcate the habit of writing their expressions in the young members, we start from descriptive writings where in ideas are readymade, and only words are needed to clad them. Once our youngesters are well on track, we will move to reflexive writing.
Wahid Ahmad Mir:  We share our feelings through a medium which have no feelings and we want to brainstorm creativity by a tool, that is becoming a grave yard for human neurons. What I find Internet have highjacked everyone...During my teacher educator degree,we have seminar under title" Modern Pedagogy ", and most of the intellectuals discussed about impact and role of Internet on education.some say  it is an assistant for teacher's and some go on saying a teacher without boundary etc. Dear gentlemen_ the worst part of this technology is that it is in the hands of those  human beings which have only it's information not knowledge.
Dear gentlemen. My question to all of u is. Why we find Internet more informative than human beings which are around you ?
Why an illiterate person becomes useless in present age of technology. He or She may be illiterate but not uneducated.
Most of the gentlemen in this group are pre- service and in- service teachers, so are also my teacher's.If the job of the teacher is to create and deliver the content and if this content is present on internet that too with huge reviews and quality then what is the need of teachers?.
So these last lines  are for my one of the best teacher Mr Tariq Ahmad Malik Sir. Is internet degrading the teaching profession and are modern teachers heavily dependent on it. Need your reflection on above lines. Your student.

Tariq Ahmad Malik: Wahid, Your perception carry good weightage.
The teachers, to my understanding, are not degraded by the intensive usage of internet.
Internet viewed from the canvas of ebooks does only change the mode of our learning for which we initially  would visit libraries. Initially when a teacher needed to have indepth knowledge of things, he would visit library to update himself. Now the paper book has been changed into the digital book. We can easily enrich our content from it. Even we can develop innovative pedagogies while reviewing the techniques used by different trachers all

Ishfaq Qayum : To know the world we need to access internet.Internet is a powerful tool of modern world.A man changes his lives by exploring internet.He adopts best lifestyle, colour his surroundings and even manage his needs .In modern days it may be a slogan.
"internet in our days is only the ways
Which manage our craze and makes our saves"
My little contribution

Hassan Azhar: It was 2004... 05 when i was writing my M phil thesis on a poet but the books which i need, were not available here. I tried to visit to internet to confirm whether there was any material or not. I found the related material but that was insufficient and those were some little articles and compositions and of course not analysed in broader aspect. I would leave that one and try for other author. But all in vain my day would pass in searching ordinary and sub standard material.
I would like to mention here that it was one of my friends Mr Gayas ud din who was about to travel to Aligarah, i requested him, search if there was any book regarding the poet, then he returned with three books and only then i became able to complete my thesis otherwise net had taken me into such a bush where from it was difficult to come out.
I simply suggest my Educated Youth not to wonder here and there in search of good rather complete material, it is only book which can be proved better than internet material. In case where there you need information or small size compositions, you can find easily.
Internet is simply an indication towards big treasure like books. There fore i deem it wise to mention here that only good and standard books can realize your big and beautiful dreams.

Tariq Ahmad: Azhar Sir, everybody has his own experience with internet. There is none to support or reject its role. The basic aim of the topic remains to develop ideas, both in its favour, or against it. In both the cases, the students will get busy in writing their original thoughts.

Mud Bye: If we are discussing here itz because of internet. When our phone is down or internet remains suspended for few days life seems to be stopped a bit and facial expressions at that time are worth to watch. Our life seems impossible at this junction of time without internet. No doubt there are disadvantages also but we can't deny its advantages which are probably making more weight than its disadvantages

Rahamtullah Mir: : ہے موت دلوں کے لیے مشینوں کی حکومت
احساسِ مروت کو کچل دیتے ہیں آلات

Sajid Ahmad Mir: Internet is a thing developed by imperfect humans, so it is obvious internet cannot be perfect in every single area.
There are some fields where internet can misguide us but at the same time there are many fields where surfing internet can be very much beneficial like
sending documents all over the world, online money transfer, looking up a word in dictionary and there are other numerous and important fields where it can help us in a go.
It basically depends upon your interest and mind setup how you wanna utilize it.
Internet actually has both the tastes bitter (poison) as well as sweet(🍯 honey),  so it all depends upon your taste.

Uf! The dear ones go early!

Alas! a virtous heart has stopped beating,a blessed soul ascended to heaven; and ,in him ,we parted with our beloved Officer,Abdul Ahad Bhat on 12/4/2019,Friday.

It was a thunderbolt of grief to hearing the sad news of the sudden demise of our beloved headmaster.My words can't suffice to express my sorrow.The deceased was my guiding hand,my torch bearer,and my superhero.He was the person who steered my life's journey to the right direction.I am the product of the incredible memories he shared.He brought light to my dark days,and allowed me to grow under the shine of his smiles.

This is the price we pay for having a great father.we get the wonder,the joy,the tender moments…,and we get the tears at the end too.May my spritual father rest in eternal peace;and may Allah help me to carry on in the footsteps of the departed soul.May Allah make sure that the legacy of this great soul live for ever.
My deepest sympathies go out to the bereaved family on this difficult time.May Allah give the family the courage and strength to bear this loss.

On My 47th Birth day

On My 47^th Birthday  

Dear Children,

Your beloved mother,this morning, tuned in the radio to listen to a famous Kashmiri folk song “Wochum Naie cze hue kahah wfaadaar mougi”.I saw her repeating the lines with the singer. It came to me that she was very true to her sentiments.

She has always the same narrative to tell that her mother is only next to God for her. None on the earth can change her perception .She always keeps saying that she can give her mother her blood to the last drop, and can give her the money to the last penny in the hour of her need. None on the earth can stop her ,she adds.

I always appreciate her attitude towards her mother. Her mother does really deserve it. In fact, every mother deserves it.

Children, your mother often dubs me being mal-adjusted, and socially ineffective. Yes, I don’t usually visit my relatives. I seldom phone them, and ask them about their needs. Yes, she openly reminds me of my indifferent nature.

Thank God! I too have parents. I  believe I have loving parents. They are now in their old age, but I don’t live with them. I pay casual visits to them. They often dial my number to ask about my health, and the health of my children. For me ,it speaks volumes about  their love and care.

In this phase of their life, my parents need my care. My ailing mother needs routine check-ups. She has multiple health issues. She does, however, feel much relieved when her children spend some time with her. She does always crave for such opportunities .This is true about every mother, I suppose.

My father deserves a special mention. He has lived a very tough life. He has always toiled to earn square meals for his family. The only silver lining he had seen during his hard days was in his act of admitting me in a primary school. It was a big decision for him. It was the time when education was a mere luxury in villages .He had no money for my private tutioning, so he would always encourage me saying intelligent boys did not bank upon tutioning.I kept going the school regularly .At returning my home, I would keep busy with books. The smell of books would bring peace to my mind.

It was often discussed in our family that my father had also been admitted in the school, and he had read up to 8^th .His studies had been discontinued only when he had failed to pay the fine of 2 annas owing to his four days absence from school. It was because my grandfather could not arrange the required money.

My childhood passed under the shades of a tough father.He was strict to the core .He would never compromise with discipline. I would never dare to join dinner if I had failed to offer magrib salat. He would advise me to be truthful, honest, and humble.

Our family was economically very weak. My father, despite his all efforts, could not change this plight. I had to join him in work in a very tender age of ten. We toiled together to bring the family to the safer side.

Smile would seldom return to the face of my parents .I remember the day when I completed reading the Quran under the guidance of Maulana Mohi-ud-din. My father had a dream to see me completing my education, and doing some white collar job. He did not know how to plan all this, but his faith in my capabilities was immense.

My father’s dream was realized when after a prolonged wait I got a job.I am now financially well, and living happily with my family. I always bring to my mind the sacrifices made by my parents for me. How can I forget the hard times my father and mother had gone through during my upbringing.

It is only the wearer who knows where his shoe pinches. Nobody’s parents have any flaws. All parents are real architects, so are mine. If somebody tries to finds faults in my parents, I feel hurt. He had my responsibility to shoulder, not the responsibility of others. I salute the wisdom of my parents. They have a special place in my heart. They, as I believe,  can never be wrong .How can a father, and a mother be wrong who shed their tears after keeping away from their son, and gift away their son to the latter’s children.

Today on my 47^th birthday if you believe I have wide acceptance in the society, who should take the credit .I suppose the parents whose prayers and whose upbringing make this possible. I hope you will carry forward this legacy.

                                         With Best Regards

                                                         Your papa

Great Teachers Are Born Great!

Great Teachers Are Born Great!

Tariq Ahmad Malik

By: Tariq Ahmd Malik

Behrampora Raffiabad

It is beyond all doubts the dedication of the teaching faculty which transforms an otherwise low performing school into an ideal learning platform. Teachers become dedicated when they assume their duty in right perspective. When they take teaching as a mission. Such teachers ensure that the students should find a reason to remember their class as an important part of their school life experience.They believe that their students are their teammates. They don’t fear to have a little fun with them. They love to be creative and innovative .Before taking their classes, they review key concepts afresh. They believe in delivering to the maximum of their potential. They make students feel excited about school.

The great teachers are always on time. They welcome their children every morning. During morning assembly sessions they make sure that the students  have  maximum participation in them. They set the platform for the students so that their special capabilities are honed, and they are provided ample opportunities to bring out their best.

The great teachers maintain record  of their lessons. They have always a proper lesson plan. Besides their lesson plans,  their  diaries keep record of students’ bio data, Their case history, the contact numbers of their parents, marks awarded in different tests, etc. These teachers keep  up to  the date the record of the students as per their performances in different test  eg, high achievers, the averages, the below averages etc. 

The great teachers organize special sharing sessions for  the poorly  performing students and guide them through remedial teaching sessions.

The great teachers don’t allow any moment  go waste in the school. When they have vacant period,  they prefer to cross- examine the written work of the students. They do also spend some time in school library to update the content of their lesson plans.

The great teachers volunteer in organizing special lessons on “ Friday Post-Recess Sessions” , and discuss at length the basics of their specialized subjects. In these sessions all the students are assembled in the school auditorium for having live interaction with the expert teachers.

The great teachers keep themselves   in constant touch with the  parents and keep  intimating  them about the performance of their wards. They receive their feedback and try to explore novel learning techniques. These teachers help the administration in forming parent-teacher associations, and organize parental meets at school.

The great teachers never fear to go for innovations if they think they can help the learning process acquire momentum. They create  “  Whats- Up  Group” , and add the parents as members. On this page they post circulars, Notices, Datesheets, Schedules of important events, and the report of various activities the school organizes at day to day basis. They do also post the award rolls of the mock tests which the school organizes. Thus the page is intended to bring the performance of the school in public domain.

The great teachers organize the events on special days related to the life of great scholars, scientists, leaders, saints etc. They do also create awareness about different career options,health hazards, and social issues. Doing this on regular basis they inspire a change in the budding bloom of the nation.

The great teachers invite the living legends to the school and ,make them interact with the students. They organize lectures of eminent scholars. These eminent people share their experiences with students and motivate them to work out their career in a best possible way and plan their studies prudently.

The great teachers make the school into a language library. They organize student  discussions, interactive sessions, and debates. They prepare Power Point Presentations and expose the students to smart learning. They show them documentaries, short films etc. and widen their mental horizons every possible way.

The great teachers form cultural clubs in their schools. They motivate and guide the students for performing art. They prepare skits, mimicry, declamations etc. They teach them folk lore. They show them the beauty of their native  culture and motivate them to preserve it with all its vitalities.

To sum up , we may say that it is only the dedicated and inspiring teachers which transform an ordinary looking school into an ideal one. Such teachers are necessarily intelligent and know their subject matter well. Their work and behaviour is invariably commendable. These teachers are reflective. They keep correcting themselves .They are confident about what they deliver. They are engaging. They make learning interesting. They never dread trying a new idea. If it doesn’t work ,they refine it. If it still doesn’t work, they ditch it. They make every student feel important. Thus they do necessarily give their students a reason to remember them as an important part of their school life experience.

Is Happiness A Choice?

Is Happiness A Choice?

By:   Tariq Ahmad Malik

       Behrampora Raffiabad

Every human being is destined to taste happy as well as unpleasant moments during his entire life span. There are certain situations which make us feel happy (e.g.), Marriage  ceremonies ,birthday parties, festivals etc. There are also certain occasions which have grief attached (e.g.), funerals, accidents, and failures etc. There is , however, a third set of situations in which we opt to be either happy or upset. This situation may arise at our homes, in our offices, and at our work places. In these cases we opt whether to appreciate somebody’s efforts or disregard him. Whether to give somebody respect or ignore him out rightly. Here ,in this situation ,we do deliberately choose between regard and disregard, approval and disapproval, envy and jealousy, ego and selflessness etc. .This phenomenon engulfs the major part of our life’s practices.

Looking at the life style of different people ,the keen observer is made to understand that happiness is ,to a large extent,  a choice , an option and a matter of preference. The person who is happy is not necessarily the person who has no worries at all. He may be the person who has deliberately decided to live up his happy moments lavishly. For him the worries could be a stimulus in the way of making him strong.

The wise man knows that worries are common to all, so are the suffering. He keeps busy exploring the way-outs from his troubles.

I saw one of my acquaintances worrying ,and feeling very upset about the attitude of her colleagues. She complained that her colleagues were not respectful to her despite of her showing utmost courtesy to them. This phenomenon had made her very unhappy .She could not help saying, "I talk softly to them every time .I give them due regard. I meet them with smiles, but they are hell-bent on disregarding me .I am left with no option .I suppose I should leave my job.”

We face such odd occasions every now and then. We do usually find ourselves option less in these situations .But as a last resort, we need to have yet another look on our personality traits .We may ,sometimes, discover that we need to reshape our personality traits. We may need to examine our attitude afresh. Every word and every phrase has either a wedding bell or a sting attached. Words may have flavor of ego or humility.

After coming with multiple self-corrections, we can expect of the souls around us getting moulded for the good. The time tested traits of truth, beauty, and goodness are always rewarding .If we embrace decent attitude ,we will be showcasing all the three .After making it into our habit, we can expect the people around us flocking around us. Supposing people persist with their mean mentality and defy our decency, we are still at no loss .The decency in our attitude can win us thousands of decent people .We can rule over hearts of scores around us. Our obstinate colleagues are also expected with the passage of time, to having reassessment of our credibility.

There is always the second side of every coin. The people who are decisive to letting us down have their own shortcomings. Endorsing the rare talent in this context makes them feel inferior.

Familiarity breeds contempt. When some hardworking and dedicated official is appreciated by the boss, the mediocre ones slide into the background. Instead of improving their efforts they start fomenting grudges with the one who  is committed to his job. They start isolating him and looking for his flaws. They start accusing him of being egoistic, glib tongued, and double faced. In case the dedicated official is a girl, the erring officials can even descend on leveling her with the accusation of being in a living relationship with the boss.

The dsire for a good name and face is common to all. It is, however, only the determined and the dedicated people who do actually work for it. Such people know how much effort it takes to become number one. They face the challenges headlong. They even fail at times but they don’t give in. They correct themselves ,and ultimately come up with bright colours.

The voice within is our best endowment. We need to allow it rumble. While we deliver according to our inner voice, the world creates uproar of noises. We have to reassure ourselves to let the genuine voice survive amid the whirlpool of noises .When others try to suppress our voice we have to use our full strength to keep it afloat .we need to get muse from the self-talk .We will ,as a result, discover that our conscience is invariably applauding us for our coveted efforts. Someday the unwanted noises have to die out. They will die when they will see the genuine voice gaining momentum and soaring in the sky. The best answer to the mediocre people is our ultimate success. Once we see success eye to eye, we find thousands of mothers caressing and fondling us .Long ago H.W.Longfellow has voiced _

Let’s then be up and doing

 With a heart for any fate

Still achieving, still pursuing

Learn to labour and to wait

Let the winds from opposite direction run their course. They will have to sway the cradle of our dreams. They will have to allow the kite of our ambition soar in the vast expanse of the sky. Lets believe that when others will be dreading to dream big, there is always an opportunity for us to prove our mettle. In this case , if we face opposition, it will be worth it.
