What does summer means to you?

Children like summer and parents perhaps prefer not! That 6-8 hours relief that the mothers gets to finish the house hold cores is something harder during summer. Summer adds up to extra purchase list! This scenario is true for several mid-income families categorically to people before 1990’s who had more than one child and one employed.

As a child I found summer difficult to spend because of several reasons –

I liked the school and teachers who kept me occupied with books, writing and brain activities.
I either had to go to relatives places whom I knew little. However, I enjoyed this on bonding with new people.
I didn’t like sports apart from jogging, running and indoor activity (like business board game).
I wanted to pick some activities that didn’t moral debased. Hence I picked some skills like cooking, writing and reading during summer.

I feel now-a-days children are blessed with several summer activities or workshop like Robotics which helps them to be progressive in creativity, understanding/ learning applications, getting introduced to computer programming much earlier than academics that deepens their logically thinking and not-only-see but also feels the fascinating outcome! The adventure of building and re-building will build a better tomorrow for them and generation to come!

TEDxUSMC Malaysia: My Experience

TEDxUSMC is my third TEDx talk after TEDxIMUV (Vizag) and TEDxBITMWomen (Meerut). TEDxUSMC was held on Dec 02 at Johor Bahru, Malaysia. My first interaction from their team was with Mr. Lian Ming (Co-organiser) over the Skype. The discussion lasted for 1:30 hour he making several notes on the ideas that I presented. I should appreciate his patience to listen to each idea and appreciate them. After some days I was elated to see news of shortlist. Thanks to the Malaysian government for providing eVisa that made daunting tasks of documents and process. I choose Malaysian Airlines and nothing fell short of choosing it!

The TEDxUSMC team was courtesy to pick me at the airport and put me to the hotel. I was made feel at home. On Dec 1 team dinner was organised and I must thank them for taking care of vegetarians (like me ;)). I got to meet several other volunteers and team members who were pumped  with energy for hosting first TEDx (live) at USMC.

It was wonderful event organised by them and indeed words fell short to thank them! I believe that they are going to grow stronger with more events to come.
