Yes.. My mind has changed. In the past few months, my way of thinking has actually changed.. I have started taking things lightly and started viewing things in a light way..
Life has become too busy but I am taking things with smile..
Since then, the seriousness or the strong way of writing has also changed.. But still I have not quit writing strongly on sensitive subjects. Just that, the new blog not has just those serious things alone. It has everything! Daily routines, serious thoughts, passion, hobby - everything!
And so, I have changed the location, outlook and the style of my blog. The new blog is in wordpress. But the name is still the same: My Mind At Work
Happy reading!

Guru - The Indispensible
Not everyone realizes the importance of a Guru - Teacher. I have realized it many times in my life.
Be it art, science, programming, yoga - whatever! without a good teacher, its difficult to master it! May be some people are self-starters and they learn on their own. But even then, they might also have some indirect teachers.
I have gone several classes for learning classical instruments, vocal, swimming, dancing, Java, yoga, etc,. But only a few have I completed successfully. I used to wonder what is wrong with me since I was not able to complete most of my courses to the full. It is then I realized the importance of a good teacher - A teacher who understands you!
Every student is different - unique! And a teacher must understand this and change their teaching methodology to suit the individual needs. Having some pre-framed standards or steps for teaching is not going to satisfy everyone.
A teacher should match the pace of the student and the student should give his 100% to the teacher. Understanding each other is the key to success.
The Learning will bring happiness - not only to the student but also to the teacher. Beyond money, it will bring in a special bond between them because of the energy exchange - knowledge transfer.
Blessed are those who find right Guru. Blessed are those who find right student. I think teacher-student relationship is divine - whatever be the object of learning!
