Rupee for Thoughts

Rupee for Thoughts

13th of December was the last PPD session for the first year. As usual we had an interesting session on this day also. This week's session is called "Rupee for Thoughts".

First our madam Miss.Sarasi collect a coin from each of us and put it into a purse. And then the purse was passed from one person to another. When our madam tapped on the table we had to stop passing the purse and the person who is currently holding the purse must take a coin from the purse. That particular person had to talk about his/her memories related to the year of the coin.

The session was going awesome. My fellow mates brought out their remarkable memories when they got the chance to present their memories. Those were very funny and some are very interesting.

Unfortunately I haven't got the chance in this time. But I enjoyed this session by listening to my friends' stories.

So the last session for first year was ended by this activity and all those sessions gave us valuable lessons and good precious memories. So all these sessions were awesome.

As the other sessions this PPD session also filled with knowledge and happiness. The final PPD session for the first year ended up with sharing our memories with each other. 

Culture

Culture

On 6th of December was a very special day. The reason for that is during that day in GNCT lecture we had a different experience that we never faced.

Culture was the topic for this week's PPD session. First we had a discussion on culture, like what is culture and from what it is made of. Culture : the arts and other manifestations of human intellectual achievement regarded collectively. This is the dictionary meaning which was given to the word 'Culture'. Simply the Culture is  people's behavior, customary beliefs, social forms, material traits and norms found in human societies.

For the activity of this we were divided into two groups by our madam. We had to create an activity according to a new culture. The activity should contain a name to the country, a specific language according to the culture, an anthem, a dance and a song. Madam gave us time to discuss with the group members and create those above mentioned aspects of our culture.

Our group planned an activity with a different kind of scenario. That occasion was an event with some entertaining events which were happened according to our own traditions and customs. We were given about twenty minutes to prepare for the event. After some preparations we came up with the event and it gone totally wrong due to our own mistakes. But other team performed their act in more organized way comparing to our act. It got good feedback from us and also from the lecturer.

Then our lecturer explained things that went wrong for both teams.

The other group also had made a nice activity. That was a wedding ceremony which was following their culture. They had their own rituals at the wedding according to the culture.

From this activity we had a clear idea on what are the main aspects of a culture.

Most Inspired Leader

Most Inspired Leader

On 29th of November 2018 we had an interesting session in GNCT lecture on Leadership. Initially our lecturer explained some key points of leadership using a presentation. From that we got an idea of what was that day's scenario.

My Most Inspired Leader

In my life my most inspired leader is Lord Buddha. As being a proud Buddhist, our leader is Lord Buddha. Being our religious leader is not the reason for above mentioned situation. There are many reasons except being our religious leader.  The teachings of the Lord Buddha is the main reason why I consider him as my most inspired leader. Lord Buddha is a leader who never give up on any thing. 

A leader should have a vision and a mission, the most essential ingredient in leadership. A vision is a clear picture of the future. It defines what one wants to become or achieve as a goal. Above mentioned features were displayed from Lord Buddha clearly. Also a leader needs to have knowledge, rather be more aware than the rest of the people. Leader could keep followers cool in adverse situations, and care for the welfare of the followers. Leadership is indeed a challenging responsibility. But Lord Buddha overcame all the obstacles successfully.

Following are some unique characteristics of Lord Buddha,

• Serving any kind of man kind without checking the persons' status.
• Explaining any kind of matter at any time if someone wants to know.
• Not getting angry in any kind of situations.
• Very peaceful. 
• Tolerate anything.
• Dedication.

Above those characteristics are the things that I admire most. 

If we talked about Lord Buddha's life we can not end it easily. There are so many things and facts regarding Lord Buddha. 

Leaders should be morally integral, compassionate and must have a clear vision and mission. They should not abuse their leadership for self glorification or personal gains. They have to be good communicators and be able to represent the group as persons able to talk for the group.
