Ram's Reflections

We are in the digital world!!... All around us are digitized..(The television which was left analog till now has also been asked to be digitized :P :D :D) People have become slaves to the technology which was created by us.I remember a dialogue from 3 Idiots which goes this way, Professor asks "What is a machine(or technology)?" and the student replies, "Anything that reduces human effort is called a machine."

This blog post will remain close to my heart forever. Its about TEACHERS. Teachers are the ones who work beyond their capacity to give their best for the students. They are one of the most selfless creatures on earth who derive happiness from the achievements of their students. Although they are paid for what they do, inculcating knowledge without involvement will not prove useful. Hence, most teachers love their job and that's what produces smart students.
