I was teaching science in school.I had a friend Puja. She was a dance teacher in my school. My self and Puja were neighbors .I got chance to interact with Puja at home also.Puja had many positive points in her personality.For festival celebration of diwali , navratra she will make group of students learn dance at school.Same exercise Puja will repeat in her neighbor hood kids at home.There was no decrease in her energy levels if it is home or school.
Because of Puja’s this good unique quality that she puts all her efforts and energy to make children learn state of art dance if it is school or home environment, Puja became my inspiration. I will request Puja to take some rest for a while.But she will not do so. Dance was my friend Puja’s passion. Hence to make children learn good quality dance Puja will do anythin..I was so impressed by her.
I learned following good habits from my dear friend Puja.The same I am listing them below.Puja used to tell me following good things which I am listing below.
Don’t be a taker, be a giver. Don’t be a burden, be a blessing.
Don’t be a problem, be a solution. Don’t be selfish, be selfless
Don’t be destructive, be constructive. Don’t be negative, be positive.
Don’t be indifferent, be compassionate. Don’t be hateful, be loving.
Taking inspiration from Puja, I also used to float small science projects for my students at school.That activity of students made my class room full of energy.With those wonderful experience of teaching science through experiment inspired me to do science art writing to make students learn difficult science concepts.
Some of my science arts writings are available in my book-science of life and nature photo poetry collection available on amazon.

Moral of Story-Whether it’s your student, neighbor ,a girlfriend, friends or anyone else, always try to do such act of kindness that when you leave them,they should be in better shape compare to before you arrived in their life. This is one of the most noble and generous things you can do for anyone you encounter in life.
