    Sean Connery “defined” James Bond and all the other guys who came after must try to live up to the “standard” he established.  Brosnan comes across as a cute little boy who plays with spy toys.  I blame the script writers.  Daniel Craig purposely chose to try to “redefine” the Bond character because he knew better than to try to be similar si…[Read more]

    Korean historical period dramas. It’s my new passion. You can’t just binge watch in a day. For these series you need a week’s vacation. 🙂  Then you have to take time away from them to catch your breath. But they are so worth it!! You finish up that has like 50 episodes and then you go:

    Don’t recall seeing this movie. Don’t really like horror movies but watch them on occasion. You’re right that the Indian films are a little more scary than the American ones. We subscribe to Netflix. Thanks for the suggestion!

    • Training a children is good but creating fear spanking create fear in them. If you look at it very well, children love staying with the mother than father. because, some father are always spanking on the children and this cause in direct between them.
      To correct a child. it should not be by spank or shouting. Training is by love. You can can beat a child a little but spanking is absolutely bad.

    Back then when my teenager was still in secondary school, teachers would conduct […]

    • Could not agree with more on this topic. The cell phone menace in the school has assumed very high proportions and their use is starting since class 7 or 8 or even less. For some it has become a fashion statement. For others it is to be a step ahead of their peers by getting the latest model. If the parent does not buy the phone many have committed suicide or hanged themselves. Some others do not behave properly with their parents treating them as their enemies. Today’s children are smart but a lot more vulnerable to pulls and pressures of school system, society and image. Counselling and guidance is very much the need of the hour. Trust and belief between parents and children plays a crucial role in this matter. Cell Phone does work as a security system for the children but it depends on whose hand the phone is. It has its plus and minus features. But more minus features. In my opinion children should be given a cell phone only when they land in a job after they are major having completed 18 years. A timely and useful article.

    • RE: Schools IN America
      First, let me start my comments by saying I have put 10 children through the American public school system and my 11th child has two more years until she gradates from high school. Never gave any of them a cell phone. The main reason? Couldn’t afford it!

      That being said … any receptionist or phone-answering personnel that doesn’t pick up the phone at a school SHOULD BE FIRED!! Especially for an elementary or middle school. Lunch breaks and other breaks can be staggered so that at all times, somebody is available to answer the phone. With children (including teenagers) there is no such thing as a “convenient time for an emergency!”

      That being said … given the fact that in America we have had several mass shootings at our schools, ALL teachers should have a phone in their classroom. Cell phone or land line? It doesn’t matter. There should be a way to communicate and call for help!

      Should the child have a cell phone? I have heard all the reasons against it. All the reasons don’t eliminate the real fear of a parent thinking a mass shooter is going to get into the school where their child is a student. It’s a legitimate concern.

      So what we have here IN America is Phone Control -versus- Gun Control.

      America’s politicians are dragging their feet regarding gun control. How I see it? As long as they’re “working on NOT coming up with an IMMEDIATE practical solution to a CRISIS SITUATION!” … give the kid a phone!!

      Or at least let them wear one of those “emergency button beepers” – a Life Alert button – around their neck so they can push it!

      We’re only talking about life and death.

      If you can train a child to know how to use a cell phone, then you can teach and train them how to use that life alert button! It might save their life!

    • The topic you posted is one of the best I love to read. The reason is that I like student because they are youth and the leaders of tomorrow.Take phone to school or using phone by student is dangerous to their education.
      By making use of phone during the school hour will make them lost the concentration in there study. instead of facing the study, They will be pressing phone and some of them will be browsing

    • Using of phone must be stop in the schools. This blog makes me remember a incident that happened to one student some years ago. She came from a rich family and her parents always show to love to their children by giving them whatever they ask for. This student have been using phone for months.
      But on this devil’s day, One boy called the lady through her phone and the girl have to keave the school and went away to meet her so called boy friend. To cut the story short, the lady student in question was raped.

    In other words, same sex means all girls or all boys siblings, different sex means […]

    • I have observed this scenario and have seen that same sex siblings are having good relationship in some families whereas in the case of others it is not so and the same happens to be the case in the case of the brothers and sisters too. I feel that parenting the kind of atmosphere and treatment meted out to them and they not feeling left out because of the other all play an important role in this case. I have also observes when these kids grow up many have strong bonds whether it is same sex siblings or be it a boys and girls. The chemistry between the two since the childhood and the behaviour of the elder sibling also have a role. But on the other side, I have seen them ending up in a cold relationship in both the cases due to one reason or the other. It all depends of their peer group, their parents and who they look up to. To be their role models. A very good article with lots of aspects to be thought about and analysed. Look forward to more such articles.

    • I can relate to this blog about siblings.

      Having a sibling is not that happy all the time. There will always a conflict and misunderstanding. Sometimes, it came to a point where siblings will ignore each other. But at the end, siblings will always be siblings. Conflicts cannot be eliminated to everyone because it is what makes a relationship stronger.

      My younger sister and I are close with each other. We almost share everything, clothes, foods and even our secrets. But we also come with many conflicts, but we try to resolve it after we get calm.

    • Agree with you on many of the points discussed in the above topic. As parents are the role models it is the responsibility to see that children grow in a emotionally strong and secure bond. The positive vibes among the parents plays a very important role in forming the personality and character of the children. Children first look at their parents and then other elders and senior peers and learn their mannerisms as they keep growing. Parenting is a continuous process and does not stop at any particular age. Parents should stand rock solid with their children as it matters them a lot in times of turmoil and tensions which in turn may affect their personality and behaviour. The suggestions given are useful to any aspiring parent or to anyone interested in the topic as they can communicate this wherever it is needed to be communicated to. Keep up the good work and also visit Knowledge is Power Use It Wisely for articles written by me. Looking forward to more articles from your end as it makes an interesting reading.
