It is important to let the youngsters explore the world by themselves, let them take their own decisions and falter and commit mistakes. It is only through such explorations and from mistakes that they will discover themselves and will know what and how they really want to do. Most youngsters still have a creative instinct within themselves which is smothered by the education system under piles of scores and marks. Keeping this instinct will help to a great extent.

You mean dalit names are being mentioned as per your desires till date... Great. I say do not mention any caste or creed if you want to get rid of caste system and you are telling me to add others too, what a joke!

The very word DISCOVER gives a hint, pointing out towards, exploration. One, irrespective of the age has to look into see or find out the strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats in him. This analysis is very popular with the name SWOT analysis.Youngsters who practice this analysis in letter and spirit will never see failures. We have an excellent word , " Aatma Parisodhana" in Telugu. Parents will play a key role in injecting this knowledge in to the child from very formative years

Unlimited options are there but the candidates have to judge themselves first that what they want to become. Once that is firmly decided then internet can play a huge role in providing all the informations, teachers and elders can guide them as well as career fairs are quite helpful.

As far as I know the powder of dried seeds of jamun can be a good medicine for diabetes. Well, I don't about the dose and how to consume it.

Shampa Sadhya replied to the topic How clean can a city be, really?.
We must take the initiative to keep our city clean. In Delhi many people throw vegetable peels on the road which is literally unacceptable and in no way the city can remain clean. So, it is up to us to decide whether we want clean city or not and how we can contribute in making and keeping it clean.

Wearing a sleeveless blouse is accepted almost everywhere.

Usha, you know that in Bengali families wearing sleeve blouses is a very general thing and widely accepted norm. Even the elder ladies wear sleeveless blouses over saris very comfortably and carry it easily. It is not an issue in cosmopolitan cities such as Bangalore, Mumbai, Calcutta, Hyderabad, Pune and other places. But Tamil Nadu is still quite traditional and conservative and in Chennai too, such dress codes are not accepted as easily although there are some exceptions. So there is still a long way to go where mindset about such things go.
Being a Bengali I must say that Bengali ladies are quite comfortable in sarees with sleeve blouse as well as with sleeveless blouse. It all depends upon the lady what she prefers to wear. Even there are young ladies who never wear sleeveless blouses or to say any sleeveless dress but there are aged ladies who prefer to wear sleeveless because they wore it from their early age. Even sleeve blouse can draw flaks because it depends upon the mentality of the person who criticises. I believe in dressing according to the occasion and gathering but at every point I am for such a dressing which can be carried of properly. One should not wear any kind of dress only because it is in fashion but it has to look decent on a particular person.

India has won so congrats to each and every Indian. This was not 20-20 match but 18-18 match. Loved Kohli's batting.

Slogans give a nationalistic feeling and it always sounds good. The point is, all may not like to chant it loudly but the respect for such slogans must remain intact. If one does not have respect for patriotic slogans then it is a matter of concern but not chanting them loudly should not be made a big issue.
