Don't Worry, Be Happy!!
Don't Worry, Be Happy!!
Today everyone is leading an individual and monotonous lifestyle. This individual-ness is making us more prone to mood disorders like depression. A mood disorder is a frequent or repeated disturbance of your normal mood that lasts long more than a couple of weeks. Difficult situations in life bring stress, frustration and disappointment. These are but normal reactions to the hardship that you may face in life every now and then. But being alone most of the time, leading a monotonous
individual life increases this situation making you feel depressed.
Individuals with a major depressive episode or major depressive disorder are at increased risk for suicide. We hear that so many people are committing suicides every day. It is because of depression of some kind and that they cannot convey their feelings to anyone around them. Mood disorders also affect people around you as well.
But one can overcome depression and even help others too. Seeking a counselor or a psychologist will help you to understand your situation better. Let everything hidden inside you to come out. Take proper medication if required and just follow your heart for a healthy body and mind:
• Writing blogs on internet about your feelings and inner turmoil can help you as you express your feelings to a large group and can even seek advice if you want. If you don’t want your identity to be revealed than write with a pen name or anonymously.
• You can even keep a journal to write down your feelings. Whenever you feel sad, alone just write whatever that comes to your mind.
• Let your creative juices flow. Engage yourself in some creative work.
• You have any hobby? Anything you always wanted to do? Come ‘on this is the time; pick those dancing shoes, that guitar hiding under clothes, make a new poem, write a good story, climb those mountains, swim in that river, bungee jump from that bridge, scream out your heart loudly while rafting. After doing any of this you will feel the difference yourself.
• Spend time with your friends. It’s okay if you don’t want to go out, call them up and invite them for a movie night or a pajama party and have a little get-together.
• Looks like you haven’t spend time on you from many days. Go to a spa, pamper yourself. You deserve it.

What if the teachers fail!!
India once upon a time a land of best educationists, scholars and the best education system, is now facing a time of crisis. In the Central Teacher Eligibility Test 2012, a shocking total of 93% aspirants failed to clear the test.
Of the overall 8, 61,231 registered aspirants around 76,004 could not appear in the test due to assembly elections in five states. From the rest who appeared only 55,422 barely managed to clear either paper 1 or paper 2 or both.
These poor results show that even the future teachers are not serious about studies. When these aspirants will further become teachers, what kind of education they will impart is beyond any doubt.
Today our education system is in a fail state. Present system only lays emphasis on marks and percentage, not on what kind of education is actually being imparted. The quality of teachers and education has gone down over the past few decades and is the most important factor behind deteriorating standards of school education in India.
“The problem is complicated because if an insincere person gets into the teaching field then the whole generation to follow has to pay the price”, says Sunaina, a B.ed student.
CTET is a test of eligibility does not guaranty a job as a teacher, as a result most of the aspirants appear the test casually which makes pass percentage low.
Sudhir kapoor, an MBA student, states “Government, both central and state should conduct examinations like Indian Civil Services and introduce Indian education services with one year of training with jobs guaranteed, just like private sectors than India can get better teachers and better educational environment.”
The Ministry of Human Resource and Development, worried about the result has asked the CBSE to analyse the results institution wise, so that they can improve on their teaching and training.
On the whole the most respected profession of teaching is losing its importance. Students prefer this profession after failing to qualify as an engineer, a doctor or any other desired profession. Being a teacher is their last resort.
What is the need of hour is to make amendment for a better result and education. Instead of having test like CTET, we should have tests that analyses a person’s ability for being a teacher and not the eligibility. What if a person is eligible for being a teacher but couldn’t handle the classroom environment and a student’s behaviour towards studies, he’s a failure again.
