Late By Just 4 Minutes

Heres how to be on time.

- Sudesh Gogia

Few days back a young IAS aspirant Varun Chandran denied entry to the civil services preliminary exams 2018 because he was late by just four minutes. Varun reached a wrong examination center situated in the same area of Pahar Ganj but at the wrong center. Though he rushed to the correct venue, but couldn’t make it because he was ‘late by just four minutes’.

Imbibing courage in stress

Instead of imbibing courage and cope with this tremendous stress, Varun ‘hangs himself’! Life is such a mysterious phenomenon. After all, he was late by just four minutes! The feeling of helplessness cost him life. How to develop a sense of balance during such a crisis in life? Why give in? What is the distinction between needs and efforts? Why give precedence to one need over others and maintain even balanced life throughout?

Role of parents and grandparents

The parent and grandparents can play a pivotal role. The elders teach their grandchildren, young budding boys and girls to ‘treat life as a song’, with their rich varied experience. How to be a 100% cool dad and mom to handle young growing children? Respect them irrespective of their age, failures, and stupidity. Not only their academic needs but their emotional and spiritual needs are the best-taken care of by teaching them no religion, reservation, or casteism or even politics of netas or too conservative politicians or babas, gurus, etc and at times they’re simply out of the present times context and sick and stupid!
