Exploring the intricate bond between Ancient Wisdom and Modern Science

by with No Comment Uncategorized

We are aggressively marching into a world dominated by technology and artificial intelligence. Amongst other things, this has also led to a shift in the entire religious and spiritual dynamic of our existence. Many ardent supporters of science are strongly motivated to negate the influence and strength exerted by the deep rooted wisdom as enumerated in our ancient scriptures. They are dismissing these texts as mere repositories of false information. However, there are instances where ancient scriptures revealed scientific concepts that were only proven much later.

From distance calculations by Tulsidasa to the mathematician whom the goddess guided … from the scientist who drew inspiration from Shiva’s dance to the creator of the weapon of mass destruction, instances of the divine influence over science are abundant.

Let’s dive into this rabbit hole and explore further.

Tulsidasa’s distance calculations
The Hanuman Chalisa, written by Saint Tulsidasa, is believed to date back to the sixteenth century. One of its verses states:
“Yug sahastra yojan par bhanu, lilyo tahi madhur phal janu.”
This verse is said to define the distance between the Earth and the Sun. In 1672, Giovanni Cassini calculated this distance to be approximately ninety-six million miles. The verse translates to:
“O Lord, the Sun, which is at a distance of one yug (twelve thousand divine years), sahastra (one thousand), yojan (eight miles), you perceived as a sweet fruit and devoured it.”
When these numbers are multiplied, they closely approximate the distance later calculated by Cassini.

Goddess whispered numbers
Another remarkable instance comes from the mathematician Ramanujan, who famously stated, “My Devi bleeds mathematics.” According to some sources, he claimed that a goddess revealed mathematical calculations to him, which he later proved. Notably, he formulated the infinite series years before formally proving it.

THE God Particle
The discovery of the Higgs Boson, also known as the “God particle,” by CERN drew intriguing parallels to ancient symbolism. CERN, a leading nuclear research organization, noted that the subatomic nature of the particle resembled the Nataraja pose. The plaque beside the Nataraja statue at CERN reads:
“The eternal creation and destruction of the universe is like the cosmic dance of Lord Shiva.“

Bombs of mass destruction
Another example is the Bhagavad Gita, which was referenced by Robert J. Oppenheimer, the father of the atom bomb. He said “upon the successful testing of the atomic bomb, I recalled a verse from the Bhagavad Gita, where God encourages the prince to lift his weapon and kill for dharma.” He then quoted the verse and translated it as:
“Now the radiance of a thousand suns is about to burst into the sky; it would feel like the splendor of a mighty one. Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.”
In a note to his brother, Oppenheimer mentioned how the Bhagavad Gita piqued his interest, describing it as “the most beautiful philosophical song existing in any known tongue.”
As for the criticism Oppenheimer received, I believe we should respect him as a great contributor to the field of science, as he was not the one who made the final decision on whether to bomb Japan or not, but completed the task given to him.

There are numerous other instances where ancient scriptures have inspired or even aligned with scientific theories. The purpose of this text is not to defame or challenge either scriptures or science but simply to illustrate that knowledge can be gained from anywhere—the world itself is the ultimate source, as Robert Openheimer said:

Access to the Vedas is the greatest privilege this century may claim over all previous centuries.

Telltale signs of Mental Anxiety in kids

by with No Comment Uncategorized

Parenting has never been easy, I mean this is the one game where the rules seem to change every day. Today you shouldn’t be too easy on kids – tomorrow you are not supposed to discipline them too much. The task has been complicated as it is, but the overwhelming infusion of gadgets and social media protocols together make it close to impossible. Understanding the kids these days now equates to a snowball’s chance in hell.

How is then one supposed to decipher their tantrums and mood emoticons? How is a parent supposed to know if the child is irritated because that is how teenagers behave these days or is it on account of mental anxiety? As a parent how can one try and understand the kid who refuses to communicate? Is there a key to understanding the problems at least? If not the solution, is there a way to know the symptoms of mental anxiety among kids?

Possible signs of anxiety and depression in children

  • Social anxiety – It has been observed that often kids, on account of their insecurities, tend to be more comfortable in a shell. The idea of meeting anybody new or talking in a group makes them uncomfortable. However, instead of accepting and discussing this discomfort, the child resorts to evasion tactics like rude behavior and seclusion. Even a simple social event like perhaps attending a family dinner is tackled like a war. Thousands of made up issues like ‘I don’t have a decent dress’ or ‘your family is irritating’ echo around the house. Tension escalates in the hours leading up to the event. Frantic outbursts and teary conversations on random topics define the mood.
  • Physical indications of mental anxiety – Believe it or not, unexpressed uneasiness takes the physical route of expression. If you notice a sudden change in eating habits or signs of overeating or excessive reduction in diet, know that your child is perhaps in a psychological conundrum. Likewise, a disturbed sleeping schedule reeks of mental troubles. Cases of depression have been reported where the child slept for more than 15 hours a day and still seemed tired. In extreme cases, anxiety also led to complaints of feeling sick or constant itchiness.  Constant restlessness – Urge to move every few seconds is yet another physical indication of anxiety.
  • Complete shutdown – If the only communication in the past few days has been in the form of slammed doors and cryptic WhatsApp messages, the child is clearly battling an inner panic. However, instead of talking about it or even accepting it, is resorting to evasive techniques. Instead of just observing these demonstrations as rudeness, try to peel the layers and look inside the trauma.

There could be many reasons leading to the above mentioned situations. Teenagers could be dealing with their changing appearances or could be victims of bullying. Death of a close one or an unexpected tiff with a close friend, reasons may vary. However, the problem of anxiety in kids is quite serious and in severe cases could also lead to self-harm and thus needs to be addressed. Kids might hide their true feelings behind a brattish attitude and thus establishing a strong communication channel is the foremost step.

Applications of English for adults in everyday life

  • Social Interactions – Be it with your child’s teacher or husband’s friends or wife’s relatives from abroad, fluent English conversations leave an impression. From simple introductions to meaningful exchanges about personal matters, a strong grasp of the language goes a long way.

Be it preparing a presentation for an upcoming meeting or an office lunch with the management, seamless communication is simply essential.
  • Kid’s education & Upbringing – As a parent we understand the pertinence of effective communication. We expect our kids to excel academically and want them to be intellectually mature. Be it academic excellence or personality development, without a proper understanding of the English language, the mission cannot be accomplished. Parents are the foundation of learning for a child and thus if we have strong communication skills, kids shall naturally adapt.
  • Travel – Be it a short vacation to an English speaking nation or long term plans to permanently move, command of the global language goes a long way. English can simply make your life much easier in a foreign nation and different states of India.
  • Trade – Setting up one’s business, importing and exporting from other countries, communicating with vendors and customers from across the globe are just a few practical applications of English in this category.

The FOMO attack

by with No Comment Uncategorized

So you didn’t have any New Year’s Eve plans and the whole world seemed to be all drums and violins. Only if I was on that side of the fence…if that’s what you are thinking right now, you are a classic victim of ‘FOMO’!!!

FOMO is a common abbreviation derived, and given relevance to, by the so-called Generation-Z. This Fear is an animal, a thief, a fox that deprives us of our emotional maturity by stealing it when we require it the most. The Fear of Missing Out is a well-known psychological phenomenon which is entirely based upon the feeling of dismay and regret that is experienced when a person misses out on another experience. It’s usually the case that you suffer a lot more in imagination than in reality. Meaning that what’s bothering you is not that you are missing out, it’s the FEAR experienced while thinking about missing out.

“Oh! Only if I was on that side of the fence, partying there with the glamorous, instead of completing the mundane house chores or boring work assignments.”

This fox can attack you when a friend is getting ahead in life. It steals you of your patience when others are having a good time and you aren’t invited. FOMO hunts you down and strikes you in the weakest moments like when you see online stories and reels of your friends and acquaintances. It is powerful enough to pull you down if a colleague is invited to a dinner with boss. As for younger people, it is experienced by most teenagers who have this certain ‘need’ to attend every single party, or gathering and thus desperately be approved in the “popular” circles.

FOMO Symptoms and Effects

It has multiple behavioral and psychological symptoms.

  • You feel the need to attend every dinner, every gathering, every party
  • You constantly feel the need to change yourself
  • You try to follow different fashion trends to fit in
  • You feel that you cannot catchup with everybody else
  • You think nobody likes you
  • You crave for endless approval and validation from everybody and nobody

Poor sleep, decline in mental health, endless laziness and even depression are some of the major effects of the FOMO.

Dismay or anxiety is, both, a cause and a factor of this fear, for any situation creates a Dilemma before a Decision is made and later, brings us Distress.

Social media is one of the most significant platforms which contributes to causing the FOMO. Youngsters, in desperation to follow common trends, end up being victim of this fear. It further develops a fear of not being able to fit in properly with their surroundings too.  There are two types of victims – the ones who actually miss out and the ones who fear that they might miss out. Both suffer almost the same.

How to get over FOMO?

The most discussed solution is quitting social media but that is not exactly practical for a lion’s share of the population. Instead of quitting, one can lessen the time or take a break to learn to enjoy their own company and do things which they love without comparing themselves to others.

Secondly, and most importantly, people need to understand that what people post on social media isn’t actually what their life feels like, instead it’s just a highlight of their life and is quite often fake or manufactured, a result of Photoshop. What people post is far from reality and devoid of any real emotion.

Ultimately, sometimes one just needs to accept that even if someone’s life is more happening, trying to achieve what they have is unreasonable, it’s a never ending race. The comparison is silly and we should just keep working on and be grateful for what we have.

The addiction of chaos!!!

by with No Comment Uncategorized

Imagine yourself listening to a musical composition, filled with beautiful sounds altogether rhyming perfectly to create a mystical aura. The tone is melodious and the nuances are subtly balanced. Everything is in order, the experience is splendid and in that very moment, you are just absolutely at peace.

Another few seconds and it occurs to you that you must share this experience. Be it to express to a friend the beauty of what you are just experiencing or the need to make all aware of how beautiful you have it; reasons vary, but the urge to share grows.

Soon your mind begins to drift away from the music and wanders into the notion of sharing. How should I post this music note? Shall I pick a portion or should it be the entire composition? What about captions? Do I share only with my private circle or let it out there for public view? Will the listeners understand what I am trying to say with this composition? Shall I make it simple and add a note detailing my emotions?

Only a few moments earlier, the experience which was calming your senses, is now adding to the chaos in you.

How did it happen?

Chaos or disorder and confusion have always existed. Nature has been chaotic and every once in a while, even the gods seem to love disruption. Humans on the other hand used to crave order; we liked the ordinary. We wanted stability, we preferred harmony! Be it in the blissful sounds of kids laughing together or amidst high pitched concerts, the heart knew how to find the precious silence. We didn’t really had to get away from the noise to find stillness and calm.

Things however changed with time and advancement. We moved into nuclear families, drifted to far away countries and continents and gained much more control over the outside noises. But despite all this, contrary to expectations, the outside isolation did not lead to inner silence. The stillness that used to reside inside is now simply evasive.

The chaos of life has over powered us and we meekly are following the rules laid upon us by technology. We’ve given in to the tantrums of this modern world by getting addicted to the state of mayhem. While watching a decent show, we are checking and writing emails / messages, playing a game on the mobile, wondering about the dinner plans and are yet bored. Even a day without chaos seems insufferable and so is our addiction to chaos!

Try this…

If you are brave enough, try and set aside an hour without any screens or artificial sounds. Instead of juggling between different channels or music stations or gaming consoles or social media platforms, just give in to nothing.

It wouldn’t be easy, in fact only in a few minutes your addictions will lure you. Your mind, which is now a slave to the stated chaos, will force you to think that this isolation from screens, from the outside world, will lead to a complete disaster and thus will tempt you to just perhaps check a few notifications. If possible, stay strong …

But why? Why is it so important to feel the silence??

Silence is the strongest bridge leading to inner peace. The ability to communicate with yourself resides within the quiet.

How to work on the so called “Human Element”??

by with No Comment Uncategorized

They say AI is going to eat up all jobs. Artificial intelligence will dominate all professions except those where the ‘Human Element’ dominates! But what exactly is this human element and what are the forces at play here?

Decoding the Human Element

Humans, as we all know, are us – the people and the term element implies the intrinsic characteristics of the associated term. Clubbed, the human element refers to the characteristics or components of humans alone and in any social setting. Thus, aspects like conduct and quite importantly communication form the human element. When referring to human element, in context to the occupational world, we are focusing on the soft skill side of the equation.

Artificial Intelligence vs. Human Intelligence

A machine is competent; you can feed in the right software and it shall serve. Humans on the other hand get tired, cannot be automatically programmed and are prone to errors. Even with simple repetitive tasks, humans might not follow procedures as laid down.

For instance, take the simple example of making coffee. AI can control the features of a coffee machine and this technologically superior coffee maker can repeatedly provide the desired experience. Humans on the other hand are prone to yield different results. Depending on the number of tasks at hand, urgency in the situation and even the mood of the person manually making the coffee, final outcome might vary.

Thus when it comes to basic repetitive tasks, AI seems to have an advantage. The regular chores will be much efficiently handled by AI tools. However, this is it as far as AI is concerned. Beyond a point, AI is largely dependent upon human intervention. The systems only work if the human input plays the desired role.

Why is the Human Element important & irreplaceable?

Imagine the hospitality industry…without the care and touch of somebody who understands your emotions and desires, will you be satisfied? How frustrating it is to speak with a machine. Press 1 for English and 2 for Hindi and so on and so forth. Don’t we all prefer to speak with somebody who could assimilate the urgency of the situation and perhaps manage the crisis, without going through the mechanized protocols?

Likewise, consider the domain of art and creativity. Would you want to live in a standard house designed by AI or does the nest of your dreams demand creative infusion of a human?

Even in projects where AI can dominate, without the absolute dose of communication and human coordination, survival is dubious.

It all comes down to the acumen and soft skills!!!

Humans have been programmed to share, to create, to enjoy, to feel and to collaborate. They can think outside the box and can adapt to the changing social norms. We are configured to improve upon ourselves and adapt to the needs of the hour. The key element is the social skill that provides the answer. At Conversation Club, this is the element that we try and work on. By way of constructive interactions, we are working on the core! Our minds are capable and demand to be challenged. Thus by promoting the idea of exploration and conversations, we are embarking upon a journey of success!   

Don’t let AI cripple your kid

by with No Comment Uncategorized

Be it a simple mathematical calculation, an English assignment for school or for that matter the captions for a reel they are editing, children these days are simply unable to operate without the artificial intelligence tools.

Try an experiment to understand better.

Give your child a small writing task, could be a letter or even a text message in English, without the help of any online tool or search engine. Just leave your kid with a pen and a notebook and check the results. Even a basic task like the stated will turn into a mammoth challenge. Now let your child be in the room with a mobile or ipad or a laptop and try the same exercise. You will have your answer in minutes. Thanks to programs like Chat GPT, all answers are readily available.

Don’t confuse gadget friendliness with intelligence

My uneducated maid’s three year old daughter (doesn’t go to school) is able to operate smartphone seamlessly. She is able to scroll through reels and even save selected ones in playlist. Does this mean she is super intelligent?

We often hear grownups say things like kids today are so intelligent. Look at how comfortable they are with technology. Well of course they are comfortable with smartphones, Bluetooth speakers and laptops; these are akin to toys for them. Children now days are more exposed to gadgets than books. In an average Indian household, at any given time, the number of gadgets on a table will exceed the number of books or newspapers. So if they can operate the keypad efficiently or have exceptionally developed online surfing skills, it doesn’t qualify as an adequate indicator of intelligence.

AI is hampering creativity

If a few clicks can get you all the answers, why bother? Google, Siri, Alexa know it all. Why think … let’s just ask them!

This is the typical mindset of a child these days. Easily available information is making life easier but at the same time, it is restricting the thought process. Rather than thinking about the situation, kids are merely relying on automated system generated responses. Small things like reading a map / chart on the metro station to check the train route seem impossible; they’d rather check the phone for next station details. A child’s creative growth is being largely hampered in the process. Resultantly, practical life skills like problem solving and abstract thinking are taking a major hit!

AI is promoting an emotionally challenged generation

Since the kids are no longer used to the idea of understanding things and preparing for adequate responses, their ability to perceive situations and accordingly manage circumstances is largely being challenged. Owing to the nuclear family structures and working parents, most of the time these days is spent with AI tools, which leads to emotional development issues and creates problems like social anxiety. The dependence on texting is so much that rather than speaking with a person, they rely on emojis to convey the message.

Provide the needed Learning Environment

AI has caused way too much dependence on technology. This excessive technical engagement, coupled with reduced human interaction, is impacting the child’s intellectual and psychological growth. They thus need an environment where they are encouraged to think and express in words. A schema like ‘Conversation Club’, which is driven by emphasis on the art of communication is the need of the hour!

Communication Skills & Academic Excellence

by with No Comment Uncategorized

‘Envisage’, ‘social contract’, ‘resplendent’, ‘grievances’, ‘hoarding’… these are just a few words from the very first chapter of the history book grade IX. We’ve all heard our children crib about the complex and boring chapters. We have witnessed their struggles with learning. We have seen them cram up the material and often wondered about the fruitfulness of this exercise. I mean if kids have to memorize those hefty books and not remember a word after the day of the exam, what is the point of it all??

What if the child doesn’t have to memorize it all? What if instead of just trying to remember each and every word of the sentence, they understood the idea covered in the chapter and phrased the answer in their own words. Wouldn’t this understanding of the concept enable long term benefits in terms of academic success?

The stated is just one of the many benefits of improved communication skills in the life of students.

Communication skills for students – See your child blossom!!

  • Better understanding of the scholarly curriculum – As elaborated above, the most critical aspect of enhanced language skills is the apparent ease of learning. Kids who understand the language better are not forced to robotically cram up the lessons. Owing to the evolved communication skills, they comprehend and thus enjoy better understanding and retention.
  • Increased class participation – Being able to comprehend and rephrase in their own words allows kids to ask questions and clearly answer when asked. A grasp of the English language brings clarity and thus enables two way communication between the educator and learner. Comprehension of the concept being taught thus paves the way for enhancement of the oral communication skills.
  • Emergence as a group leader – The one who has a tighter grip on the subject is naturally awarded the central chair in group discussions and class projects. Other students display natural confidence in the kid who is able to explain and thus the opportunities to lead and stand out, naturally follow.
  • Improved performance in written exams – Clarity of the subject and fluent written expression help frame better answers and thus the desired scores. Improved written communication skills further enable structured answers to meet the examiner’s criterion.
  • Overall confidence and life skills – Together the stated facets reap confidence in a child. The verbal and non-verbal aspects of communication ensure a learned and confident approach towards all kinds of academic and non-academic situations. Being able to express allows seamless exchange of ideas amongst teachers and students and parents and children.
  • Enhanced personal relationships ­– The ability to express helps form the desired bonds with other students. Kids face a lot of social issues on account of broken communication. Over dependence on gadgets and AI has fractured their ability to maintain real world relationships and this is where Conversation Club mends the broken bridges.

Working on communication skills is akin to watering the roots of the plant. It is a regular process and with the right guidance and supervision, fruits of success can be reaped. At Conversation Club, we provide a customized curriculum for students wherein the nuances of communication skills are carefully clubbed with academic concepts and thus learning among students is largely promoted.

Communication Skills – The Essential Ingredient of Life

by with No Comment Uncategorized

What are soft skills?

Definition – personal attributes that enable someone to interact effectively and harmoniously with other people. Communication skills are an important element of the soft skills.

Communication skills in the life of a student!

Aman and Kriti are in the same grade and academically they are both decent students. In most of the subjects, they both score in the above average category and are usually ready with all answers. However, if you’ll ask teachers, Kriti will be the one they’d recognize in a batch of 40 students in the class. As for Aman, his report cards will reflect decent performance, but his participation in class and ability or rather the lack of ability to verbally express across various platforms ensures that he remains unnoticed. But how does it matter? He is a good student and will secure decent grades!

Well certainly he will perhaps score fine but his inability to effectively communicate will keep him hidden away from all opportunities. Despite being a hardworking student, he won’t be noticed or given a platform to perform even better because he is not able to display the knowledge that he has acquired by way of seamless communication.

Good communication is the bridge between confusion & clarity – Nat Turner

Communication skills in the life of a professional!

Who do you think will have a better chance at the interview, Aman or Kriti? Let’s consider a hypothetical scenario where both have completed the same courses from the same institution and have more or less similar mark sheets. As freshers, they are being considered for a profile that along with the technical skills, requires team work and reporting. Kriti, on account of the enhanced communication skills and exposure received as a student, will clearly outshine Aman and therefore her chances of bagging the job are higher.

Even if we consider a case where there are multiple opportunities and both get selected, the chances of Kriti working her way up the career ladder are much steeper. Any organization, irrespective of the industry or job profile, is seeking employees who can help integrate human resources and outshine as leaders. Honed soft skills, especially communication skills, help achieve the said objective.

Of all the life skills available to us, communication is perhaps the most empowering.” — Bret Morrison

Communication skills in relationships!

Relationships demand a lot of work and still many fail. While there are many reasons behind the troubles encountered by those in these failed relationship, a common denominator is the inability to express and understand each other. Communication isn’t just about saying, it is also about listening. In fact, an important element is the ability to listen and understand what the other person is trying to say. Additionally, one must be able to give appropriate words to the emotions they are going through and thus being proficient at the art of communication makes life much easier.

Ultimately the bond of all companionship, whether in marriage of friendship, is conversation – Oscar Wilde

Communication leads to community, that is, to understanding, intimacy and mutual valuing – Rollo Reece May

Sow the seeds of a happy life with simple communication steps

Once upon a time, we lived in big joint families. There were uncles and aunts and brothers and sisters and relatives who were always visiting. To add to the equation, boundary walls of the houses were tiny enough to peek into the neighbor’s yard and engage in priceless chat sessions over a cup of tea.

Life now however is different. We’ve moved into nuclear setups and neither the uncles nor the aunts have time to visit. Cousins have moved to different states or countries and the houses have turned into buildings where we hardly know the family living next door.

Like any other change, this transition too has its pros and cons. There is independence, privacy, financial growth, etc., but there is also a little too much alone time – the overdose of seclusion. While these changed equations have impacted us all, the younger generation is facing some serious challenges. Kids are glued to their gadgets and their social skills have taken a major hit. No wonder, behavioral issues and problems like social anxiety & lack of confidence amongst kids are evident in every household.   

How to mend the broken bridge??

How do we establish the broken channel of communication? How do we prepare these youngsters to gear up for the world? The lost art of communication … how do we revive it??

  • Walk under the stars – start the tradition of post dinner walk with kids. These casual strolls have multiple benefits. Owing to gadget addiction, children these days are hardly engaging in any kind of physical activity. Moreover, too much screen time and life within closed walls are hampering the mental growth. These walks will ensure physical fitness and gradually, the time spent together will lead to discussions. Do not force your kids to talk, instead share anecdotes from your childhood. Eventually, they will open up and will start sharing their day.
  • Go old school – bring back the old board games from the storeroom; plan gadget free game evenings on the weekends. Clean the spider webs off the carom board, pull out the chess board, find a pack of cards, see if you can grab the box of monopoly; rather than talking about careers, marks and competitions, treat your kids with a stress free evening. Instead of lecturing about the overindulgence of mobile phones and upcoming exams, give them the option of an easy fun time.
  • Give the gift of a channel to express – most kids avoid any kind of verbal communication these days because they are hesitant. The lack of speaking opportunities has led to a silent generation that is way too scared of making mistakes. Help the young ones, overcome this hesitation, this social anxiety, this lack of confidence with the help of communication experts @ conversation club. They need an encouraging platform to express and to freely make mistakes. These crucial ingredients of expression are offered here at CC.

    Remember the most important rule – communication cannot be forced! You cannot just impose the rules when it comes to interacting. Help your child naturally open up; offer the space, comfort and guidance to express and engage.
