Guide your kids with ‘responsibilities’ not ‘restrictions’

Parents keep forgetting that giving birth is not creation of a life but being a passage for welcoming a life. They tend to forget that with their years getting rolled, their young one are too, flipping their calendar. Elders keep thinking that saying ‘NO’ to all the calls of their young one will guide them to the Pandora of success but it never turns true. Breaking it down; parents keep thinking that ‘Restrictions’ is the best way to guide a child. But they never realize that ‘Responsibilities’ is the only truth.

Meitei Hindus of Manipur and others elsewhere in the world observe New Year or Cheiraoba every year sometime in mid April when the Sun enters the house of Aries or Mesha Rashi. This day is also called Mesha Sankranti (transmigration of the Sun into the house of Aries) by the Hindus. Mesha Sankranti is taken as the first day of the solar cycle year that is the solar New Year as per Hindu calendar based on the movement of the Sun. The day usually falls on 13 or 14 of April (sometimes15 April) every year and take it as the first day of the first month of the year in many local and regional calendars of India and South-east Asia, that adopt solar calendar.

A toffee for the coin

The State of Manipur with a households of 5,07,152 according to 2011 Census if presume to possess a rupee coin per household then a total of 5,07,152 coins would be lying idle instead of circulating in the markets. There will be many more stashed away in piggy banks, drawers, bags, on the table or under the mattress. When this unaware collection of coins continues in our homes, the transaction of the rupee coins in the market shrinks. Then we end up getting some toffee, soap, a chocolate or match box instead for the change of Rs.5 from the shop. Same is true for the case of the Rs.1 and Rs.2 denomination coins.
