OF ERASERS

Having been a receiver-cum-contributor of morning messages for quite some time now, the attached picture-quote of today from a friend of mine set me thinking. Attitude does matter a lot...

Apparently the tiny 'eraser' encompasses knowledge, courage and valor, and also serves as a means of redemption...

For, I have heard about an 'eraser' quote which highlighted the reason why as primary school children we were allowed the use of a pencil with an eraser, prior to our usage of ink...

Am sure all of us would recollect our student days, the charged milieu, uncertainty, peer-pressure, homework etc. with mistakes as a norm. But we had 'erasers' of all kinds then to aid us, for there was always a lesson to be learned, and a way to correct mistakes if any...

I read a pupil-mentor analytical article on 'erasers' where the mentor explains why one should never shy away from an eraser, no matter the phase of life...

Learning is an ongoing process till we exist here. Errors are bound to occur, whether we use ink or pencil. The point is to use the eraser, learn the lesson, and proceed...

An eraser could be thought of something that gives one a sense of security, a pressure reliever, enabling us to edit and try again, allowing analysis at a convenient time to add/delete the finer points, thus augmenting performances, and helping us focus on what is ahead. ..

An eraser needn't be always an object. Being a patient listener, being ready to admit a mistake, letting go of past, being optimistic, proactive and conscientious etc. are various 'erasers' that come to my mind...

"We all make mistakes, and it is better to make them before we begin.”

FLAWED PRINCIPLE

It is International Self-Care Day today, and yet another 24th, marking 17 months of conflict in Eastern Europe. With t he Kerch Strait bridge suffering yet another damage last week and Russia, almost reflexly, putting brakes on the hitherto 'food-prices stabilizing' Black Sea grain deal followed by strikes on Odesa, fresh dark clouds of hunger loom large on several dependent nations... With much water having flown under the 'David-Goliath' bridge, one wonders whether peace would ever be given a chance, since such moves of hope are hardly visible over the horizon... While it is said that everything that begins has to end, b e it lives, an event, a thought, an article, anything, but perhaps war not so easily; not unprecedented either. Yes, it could end after a certain length of time, anybody's guess, but in this context one would now certainly ask as to 'at what cost?'... No constituent of nature works on a principle of profit excep...

WORLD BRAIN DAY

22nd of July is observed as World Brain Day since 2014. The day was chosen during the 21st World Congress of Neurology held in Vienna on September 22, 2013 under the aegis of World Federation of Neurology, which incidentally was also formed on 22 July, in 1957... The day aims to educate people regarding brain health, to help people afflicted with neurological disorders, and to the furtherance of research and advances in therapies and prevention... The theme for 2023 is - "Brain Health and Disability: Leave No One Behind"... Brain, a conglomeration of nerve filaments and connections, which if untangled would measure a distance of around 60 kilometers, plays a pivotal role in all aspects of our intellect, thoughts and response... About ten trillion connections thus help us see, register, read, write, speak, learn, think, analyze, move etc. to face the challenges thrown at us on a daily basis at all levels, irrespective of age, race, gender, nationality and soci...

INTERNATIONAL DAY OF RADIOLOGY

Image
November 8th is observed as International Day Of Radiology as a tribute to the great German scientist Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen for his discovery of X-Rays in 1895.. The 1845 born Nobel Laureate of 1901, Röntgen majored in Physics and completed his PhD at the University of Zurich.. Discovering X-rays accidentally while using cathode rays for images of his wife’s hand, which depicted the bones and the wedding ring, Röntgen had made a giant leap for mankind in medical diagnosis.. International Day of Radiology (IDoR) was first celebrated in the year 2012 with the combined efforts of the European Society of Radiology (ESR), the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA), and the American College of Radiology (ACR).. The ESR began the European Day of Radiology on February 10th, 2011, but soon it was replaced by the International Radiology Day, along with the decision to change the date to November 8th, commemorating the day of Röntgen's discovery.. The theme for 2024 is - “R...
