We should be aware that within 30 seconds
of meeting someone, people subconsciously analyse you and your attitude.
Others assimilate more significant messages about you and your organization from the way you present yourself .It is best to analyse yourself, seek opinion of your friends on your mannerism, voice modulation ,gestures, eating habits, net surfing practices and sticking to time schedule habits. We should know how to shake hands gently,how to speak in a balanced tone,etc.We should know which are the taboo topics in a cultured society.The importance of effective introduction ought to be understood.Another issue is how to receive or give a compliment, blatant flattery of your seniors will ultimately spoil your image. So far as possible we better avoid precipitating a crisis especially on non issues but we may also take a firm stand on initiatives or projects in which we are confident.

Anger management is really important as our worst behaviour comes forward when we are angry. Our patience and politeness despite provocation will place us much above others .If we maintain our sang froid under trying and hostile circumstances, we would be honoured for our cool and tranquil nature.

Manners in classrooms
Sandeep Rai, Editor, GJIMT STUDY CIRCLE

What are manners?

People in prehistoric times learned to act in various ways that made life much easier and more pleasant for one another, after that early civilizations developed some rules for social conduct that were later called as etiquettes(Manners).Good manners show that you have respect for others.

How to implement manners in the classrooms?

It is very necessary for the students to be in manner and teachers to help them in doing so, in and throughout the class to gain what the teacher is teaching in the class.
Before we go to solutions, let us see some common examples that tend to make classroom etiquette a problem.
Habits Like
• Arriving late in the class Room .
• Chatting with each other during class or while fellow student is discussing something with the teacher.
• Trying to dominate your teacher on topics that he/she is teaching.

• Packing before the lecture is fully completed.
• Leaving class early.

THE RAINBOW FADES
Nishant Thakur
B.A. III, 7035

The rainbow of our life ultimately fades. But the radiance that oozes from the deep grooves of a wrinkeled face can brighten our darkest dilemmas. Its the light of experience, the light of selfless lone. Its the golden old age.
Its our insanity if we deliherately prefer to ignore our senior citizens who are meticulously crafted by time for us to extract some priceless qualities from than.
An ignored aged person, a helpless, hopeless soul is a shane for our society. We all, will also face, so if we dont set the right example for our coming generation even we’ll be ignored.
There is nothing more viewing and vapid than an isolated oldage. Its the time when our seniors ned us more. All they want is some time. And no we can not be so pre offupied that we fail to give then some time. Its because of them that we have time.
Even our jeopardized society fails to educate us about the dire attention that is the prerequisite for once all happiness ?
But we as humans have to take a stand and give our senior citizen they respect, love, time they law fully deserve from us. Lets not make their each day a curse. Its better to die once than to die each day lets not forget that even our rainbow will fade one day….

These Rosebuds will Not Bloom ?
By Prof.) Bhupinder Singh Sehgal
The rainbow springs its seven colours over the fountain in the rose-garden. There is an aura of
Smiles on the faces of roses-white rose,yellow rose ,pink rose and red rose. The festival day is
Here again.A relief from monotony , a take off for the gregarious spiriots , the lilting tunes , the ballons, the exhibition of cut flowers, pots and an
Assortment of fashionable beaus and belles. As Chaucer would have said, ‘Here is God’s plenty?” Yes , here is happiness spreading its wings and touching every lip , caressing every cheek and the budding children.
But does happiness spring on the face of the millions of the poor children? The poverty stares at the face of the little rosebuds. The squalor and the dirt, malnutrition and adversity; the skeleton faces of little kids, the infant sucking at the milkless breasts of their emaciated mothers, the kids who never learn A,B,C, the teen aged boys and girls slogging for long hours in factories . The lisping kid washing greasy utensils in a cheap hotel, the bare-footed,bare headed kids of the slum areas yearn for a fleeting smile.
Why are some children flowers that whither ?
Why are there sobs to be heard in the por homes? Why does the dust fill the eyes of some infants? Why is the fragrance of the rose garden not wafted everywhere? Why is the alphabef\t a jumbled puzzle for many little kids? Why are the proteins and carbohydrates alien words for the under nourished ? why is despondency writ large on ghettoes of India,Asian countries, SOUTH Africa, and even some Western countries ? The children cry all the world over. Why does the cry not reach us ?
There are many regions of conflicts in the world . The children of South Africa are crushed undetr the heels of racial superiority. Apartheid in South Africa has suffocated infant ambitions. Infant and child mortality rates in Angola and Mozambique are now estimated to the highest in the world. The tragic consequence is that every four minutes a child who would have lived is dying in Angola and Mozambique.There are pockets of extreme poverty in all the regions of the world.The main culprits are war and economic and military but also the social future of nations. In the military but drain which could be used for better, constructive and peaceful purposes for the millions of children who are down-trodden and poor.
The first cry of a new born baby in paris or Rome or Beijing, or New Delhi or Harare, has the same pitch and tone, each saying “Here I am, I have come through, I am the citizen of the world.” The babies, suckling, growing into youths restless and questioning, then as grown ups they seek a hope. There are child faces of blossom smiles or mouths of hunger. Faces having land and sea in them, faces lost and wandering where to go this afternoon or tomorrow morning. Some faces are profiles in an instant of agony. Some faces have an expression of a hate ready-to-kill or clam and ready-for-death faces.There is suffering which we are to mitigate.There is SOS help which we are to render.
There are orphan children whom we are to educate. There are tears which we are to wipe. There are wounds which we are nurse . There are naked children who we are to clothe. There are problems of poverty, unemployment and alienation which we are to tackle . All is not rosy on this rosy day . As John Keats wrote –
‘The weariness, the fever and the fret there, were men sit and hear each other groan, where palsy shakes a few sad last grey hair, where youth grows pale, spectre-thin and dies’.
This is our earth, not everywhere joyous, not everywhere contented. There is a distinct message for us. “Help the poor” . There is responsibility on us to ameliorate the plight of the poor children.

Tips to Increase the Interest in class room study
Chirjot Kaur,Lecturer,GJIMT

In this high tech world, where life is bombarded with thousand of stimulations one community which is worst affected is that of students. Student life is the most happening stage in ones’ life. It forms the foundation years and chalks out our career path. In earlier times there was dearth of recreational activities and students were not that tech savvy. Today there is altogether different scenario it is difficult to catch hold of the attention of students. The new-era student has grown very smart they want value education. Knowledge and experience is just one area but teachers have to prove their credentials in all fields to keep the students engaged and active.

1. Student engagement activities: The class room study can be made more effective by making it more versatile. Use of audiovisual aids, demonstrations, practice by doing, reading, real life example, role modeling, business games, and teach other method can be used.

2. Modified learning techniques: Students get bored if there is one-way communication and lack of feedback. Involvement of students in classroom study will add spice and earn their interest in pedagogy. Ask students questions that probe their understanding, give initial answer, then discuss the question in small groups, report revised answer, and discuss reasoning. Engage students in debates, asking them to give reasons for their positions Play devil’s advocate - have students discuss what the opposite outcome would mean.

3. Enhancing Emotional Involvement: Use humor, Challenge students to answer questions which are tricky. Use brain teachers to evoke varied responses from them.

4. Classroom Assessment Techniques: Classroom assessment technique will be kind of feedback technique for both students and the teacher. Some of the feedback techniques that can be used are: Focused Listing or Brainstorming, Teacher’s feedback form, Minute Paper or One Sentence Summary and (who, what, why, when, where, how) technique which is also known as 5Wand 1H technique, Student-Generated Test Questions, Class Modeling, or Role-playing.

5. High performance team learning: Students learn more from each other when they combine their resources and have common goal. Team formations an effective strategy used for class room learning. Engage them in group activities and assign a leader who will guide them at time also give then situations where leaders may emerge by themselves.. Teachers can set up team learning environment and can motivate students by rewarding the high performance team.

6. Use of Case Studies in the Classroom: Some students learn faster by logic and reasoning for them case study will be the right approach. The use of case studies can therefore be a very effective classroom technique. A major advantage of teaching with case studies is that the students are actively engaged in figuring out the principles by abstracting from the examples.
For example you are teaching corporate social responsibility take the case study of Satyam fiasco. Ask them to find the role of Social responsibility that could have prevented this whole disaster. Then when they have described the whole situation give the meaning, advantages and application of this phenomenon. IT will be a bottom up approach in teaching. This method helps in developing the following skills 1.) Analytical reasoning 2) Decision making in complex situations 3) Problem solving
4) Conceptualization. 5) Creative thinking and 6) Giving diversified solutions to case studies.

7. Teachers should portray themselves as energetic individuals: Demonstrate enthusiasm, preparedness, thoughtfulness, organization, and flexibility in your presentation and Learn students’ names early in the semester.

8. Prepare a session plan and session flow for every session: Divide lecture material into 15-min segments. Each minute will give detailed description of pedagogy to be followed (lecture/Question based discussion/Power point presentation/ Or Activity driven learning)Provide objectives or questions to work through during class, Verbally assess progress toward objectives, Organize class time into segments, spend some time in summarizing.

9. Effective lesson plan: It should focus to involve the three senses: visual, audible, and kinesthetic. Visual learning:: power point presentation, transparencies, charts, graphs, Reading instructions, work sheets, step-by-step photographs, watching a demonstration. Auditory learning: Listening to the teacher, question and answer and reinforcement, group discussion. Kinesthetic learning: Having a go to visit some industrial site, learn practical application by actually doing the job.

An ideal lesson should stimulate the students in every pathway possible, whether this is through visual, auditory or kinesthetic learning. This means using a little exposition, a little question and answer, the use of diagrams, photos and colors and finally some practical exercises and hands-on experience will keep the interest of students alive during the whole session and will ameliorate the performance of class as a whole.

Luck is Just Pluck
Principal Bhupinder Singh Sehgal

Pluck- work hard, seize your chances, be well-prepared for your chosen aim; make a blue print of success and check your progress day after day. Manya student wants to excel in sports, creative writing, elocution and of course in academics. But very few really outshine. Why? It is because of lack of application and concentration. Procrastination, laziness and weak will power are like proverbial Achilles’ hell of the youth.
Students must plan their study schedule methodically. They must keep a copy of syllabus. At the very outset, they should understand that examination never starts after some months. Joining a class itself is a text. Everyday a student appears for an examination. Long hours in the library, full attention to the lectures in the class and above all a lot of written practice- all are various facets of an examination. A student should appear in mock-three- hour tests twice a week.
A dead-in-earnest youth who is determined to get on and get up in the world will find a way. If he doesn’t he will make one. A friend of mine failed in seven competitive examinations. He capped his failures by topping in his eighth attempt. Now he is distinguished officer. You boys and girls who think there is no chance for you, other than mediocrity. Just drop into night school, and see there the tired worn faces of youth and even of men and women, who have done a hard day’s work and yet, instead of taking time for rest or recreation, are glad to hurry to the school/evening college in order to improve themselves.
There is always a room the top. The best of jobs in the country are always looking for applicants. Dynamic active and balanced boys and girls always make a grade in life. They value time How ;many of your precious hours have you already lost because while wasting the time or killing the time, you have been killing, yourself, ruining your health, wasting your energies, your vitality, cutting down your life prospects, your success prospects?
Whatever your ambition, the force that is going to carry you to your goal is right inside you, It is your energy, your pluck, your grit, your determination. The chance is entirely in yourself, not in other people. Those who are not willing to pay the price for the larger success are always ready to make excuses for themselves and belittle the achievement of the man who has out-distanced them. They never look inside of themselves for their dynamo. They are always trying to hitch on to somebody else’s motor.
A youth should be thorough and analytical in his ventures. Many people think it is foolish to spend time on seeming trifles, but I have always notices that the habit of thoroughness in even the little things, in one of the earmarks of a successful man. A man may have many brilliant qualities, any yet be careless, but he cannot be great and be habitually careless.
