Happy Children's Day
Subjects like Interfaith, Peace and Ethics must be included in the Education System.

I agree with Ameeta Mulla (Principal, Springdales School, Pusa Rd, New Delhi, March 2005) when she writes:

…Children (must be taught) to make life an ‘offering’ by learning to:

Sing, dance, weep and sweat life;

Sleep, eat, paint, sculpt, hammer and read life;

Wash, iron, sew and pickle life;

Compute, touch, bend and fold life;

Learn and play, work and rest, fast and feast life

Argue and talk, whisper and shout, swim, cook and digest life;

Relax and Recover life, breathe and become life but never ever delete or mutilate life, for life is an offering; life is a prayer.

Also

We cheat death not by living forever, but by bearing and educating children to keep our souls, our values and even our names alive.

Sincerely,

Shakun
