We Made It NON SENSE

Teaching Is a Senseful Activity, but We Made It NON SENSE - From HEI view point I recently read Prof. Krishna Kumar’s column “The Teacher Is Walking Away,” and it felt more like a cry for help than just an article. He highlighted how teachers in CBSE schools are leaving classrooms due to excessive workloads and bureaucratic pressures that overshadow their true role as mentors and guides.  As I reflected on his words, I realized that a similar scenario exists in higher education institutions offering professional courses like engineering, medicine, and management. This insight inspired me to explore the various factors causing faculty in HEIs to step away from teaching.  To make these factors easier to understand and remember, I framed them under the acronym  NON SENSE .

To simplify this idea, I framed a personality formula: P = f { IQ, PQ, EQ, SQ, SpQ, TQ, CQ, AQ, AQQ, HQ, LQ, FQ, DQ } (Personality is a function of many quotients working together.)

It helps in analyzing problems, understanding tasks quickly, learning new concepts fast, and making logical decisions. To improve IQ practice reading, problem-solving, puzzles, observing patterns. PQ – Physical Quoti...

Welcome to the age of “Showcase Dolls.”

  Show Case Dolls In today’s society, many parents are driven by an intense curiosity or rather anxiety to see their children “settled” in a high-paying job that promises lifelong money, social image, and security for their own retired life. A child is no longer just a child; he or she becomes a future investment plan, a walking résumé, and a brand ambassador for the family. Because of this fear and ambition, parents react to every trend in the job market. Yesterday it was engineering, today it is AI, data science, blockchain, and tomorrow it will be something else. They rush to coaching centers, skill academies, and foreign education agents. Sending children abroad is seen as a status symbol not always as a life choice. The image grows, but the connection shrinks. In this race, parents unknowingly miss a beautiful life the joy of growing with their children. Instead of shared meals, stories, and laughter, there are schedules, targets, and comparison charts. Children slowly turn...
