For every relationship there is a reality.
Surely, it's got to be a two-way-communication between parents and children. A word of practical thought. This is an advanced truth: our children can make us subjects of experiments. Let us never feel nervous, or, hopeless at the knowledge of this. Neither is it the height of folly to learn when it is already too late, because it is never too late!
Instead of being latent, every parent must have the capacity to learn new lessons, following his own leadership qualities. No two siblings are alike, we all know that. Therefore, it is wisdom on the part of parents to carry out a searching analysis on their children, individually.
Trusting our children is a grace; nothing should distract us from the rooted advantage of providing them with safety nets. However, trusting a child with everything (including a kind of overgrown freedom) is as much a fault as trusting no one.
One more thing, please, don't feed your denial!
The article Sa Re Ga Ma Skype Music Knows No Borders!
What I gathered from the article is:
Some vocalists like T. M. Krishna, 35, one of the most prominent of the new generation vocalists, says that he fails to understand why we always need a short-cut to learning an art form.
A trip back in time - we had the guru-shishya relationship in the Gurukuls. I guess, we have to change with time.
Every time I have watched a sunrise or a sunset, minute by minute, my first thought is that in this world's vastness the best and the most beautiful things are free. On the sand dunes, I have heard the wild wind blowing, whistles in different musical notes and at the wind's feet the sand is openly thriving - making patterns of drifting waves. Like a child, I find gazing at the stars that come up like a crop of jewels at night, a scene of recurring awe. In every coming season, I capture an infinite experience of anticipation. The timelessness of a snowfall, the pitter-patter of raindrops, the coming of flowers in their most supreme activity offer me a sense of even-mindedness. I realize the fact that my true nature should be joyous, content, peaceful. The connection between the way I 'look' at the scene, and the way I 'think' about it will convey the true meaning of my direct description: which is the 'feeling'. From the natural order of look-think-feel, readily and cheerfully, some of my poems are born.
From the book: No Journey Ends by Geeta Chhabra
Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum, ruler of Dubai from 1958 - 1990, was the eighth ruler from the Al Maktoum family. Well loved and greatly respected by the residents of Dubai, Sheikh Rashid ruled the emirate with compassion and with a clear vision of what was required in order to transform Dubai into a modern city. Driven by this vision, Sheikh Rashid accomplished what many believed to be impossible.
As the first-born son of Sheikh Saeed, he involved himself at an early age in the politics of the emirate. He frequently attended his father's Majlis; ever curious, he would listen intently to each man's dilemma or opinion. Eager to properly understand how a state ought to be governed, he would spend long hours questioning his parents about the events of the day.
As a child he received the finest education available in the region - at that point of time. Attending the Al Ahmadiyyah School, Sheikh Rashid's studies included Islamic studies, Arabic, and arithmetic. Although he was a good student, his true love and enthusiasm was reserved for falconry and hunting. He was deeply influenced not only by his father, but also by his mother.
When asked by the New York Times in April 1997 why there is no elected parliamentary democracy, Zayed replied, "Why should we abandon a system that satisfies our people in order to introduce a system that seems to engender dissent and confrontation? Our system of government is based upon our religion and that is what our people want. Should they seek alternatives, we are ready to listen to them. We have always said that our people should voice their demands openly. We are all in the same boat, and they are both the captain and the crew. Our doors are open for any opinion to be expressed, and this is well known by all our citizens. It is our deep conviction that Allah has created people free, and has prescribed that each individual must enjoy freedom of choice. No one should act as if they own others. Those in the position of leadership should deal with their subjects with compassion and understanding, because this is the duty enjoined upon them by Allah, Who enjoins upon us to treat all living creatures with dignity. How can there be anything less for mankind, created as Allah's vicegerent (Khalif or Caliphate) on earth? Our system of government does not derive its authority from man, but is enshrined in our religion and is based on Allah's Book, the Quran. What need have we of what others have conjured up? Its teachings are eternal and complete, while the systems conjured up by man are transitory and incomplete."

The article Sa Re Ga Ma Skype Music Knows No Borders!
What I gathered from the article is:
- Skype Music is becoming popular by the way that some experts are teaching music to students who enroll with them.
- Carnatic musicians (Southern India), are now teaching the know-how of raagas to foreign students on Facebook, You Tube and other social media.
- As an example, Vaidyanathan Suresh is teaching his students ghatam on Skype. Suresh, 45, has already taught 50 foreign students from Lithuania to Japan. Fifteen foreign students are enrolled with him now. He started with the idea for himself in 2002.
Some vocalists like T. M. Krishna, 35, one of the most prominent of the new generation vocalists, says that he fails to understand why we always need a short-cut to learning an art form.
A trip back in time - we had the guru-shishya relationship in the Gurukuls. I guess, we have to change with time.
