KER - Part 4

-
 


In this post, I will be blogging on day three and four of the KER week.

Day 3:

We started with some energizing and fun activities. Now all set for the day, we were given a task. Each of us were given a cardboard box. For ten minutes, we could play with the box in however way we wanted. Then we had to imagine that we have each founded a school. Thinking the school to be the cardboard box, we had to design it the way we wanted our school to be. This was not a vague concept for me as I had played with the box for a long time and now had the feeling that it has been my possession for a long time.

 I immediately started working on the cardboard box, thinking of it as my school. I painted it with blue and black(which are my favourite colours) and painted the layout of my school as well. I wanted my school to have lots of sports facilities and highly trained and kind teachers. Based on this I designed my school. The purpose of this activity was for us to learn to not restrict our imagination and learning and the fact that we can do anything if we dream and imagine big.

Later in the day, a singer visited us. He used to be a teacher for Teach For India and was asked by Shaheen Mistry to come over and sing some songs for us. He was a wonderful singer with a good voice. He would teach us the songs, and we all would sing it together. It was great fun singing songs together!!

Day 4:

This was the last day we would be having classroom sessions in the KER week prior to the upcoming mega three days of the KER week. Day 4 was all about reliving our experiences of the past three days of KER. Everyone including the teachers were asked to talk about how they felt. Everybody loved KER and they all mentioned about the immense learning KER has given them. I said that a new experience such as KER has helped me a lot. Towards night, we had a mini talents show, where anybody who wanted to showcase their talent, could come forward and do so. This stretched till midnight.

Then, we sleepily gathered our stuff and got onto the bus which took us from Colaba to Bandra, which is an other suburb in Mumbai. The three days to follow would take place in  Bandra. While going to our new destination, the bus got onto the Worli-Sea link, which connects Worli(a suburb in Mumbai) to Bandra by a sea link. It was fantabalous to be have the Arabian sea on either side that too in the middle of the night. The Sea link bridge was lighted superbly and was a treat for my eyes.

In the next blog, I will be writing on the final but mega three days of the KER week😃

Dear all, it is with immense ple a sure I am writing this as it is my 50th blog !! I have been able to cross the Golden Jubilee after exactly seven months and ten days and it has been an incredible journey. I was first introduced to blogging and the world of blogs on 4th May 2018, by my dear father . Making me write blogs was on his radar for a long time as he thought it would help me improve my English writing skills, my observation skills and most of all, helping me organize and structure tasks. When I  started blogging, I would make many errors and my father would diligently and lovingly correct them. But now, I am happy to say that though I make errors while writing, I manage to fix most of them by myself. If you have ever wondered at any point what happens behind the scenes to make my blog, then here you are: 1. Deciding on a topic: Unlike other bloggers, I write about varied topics and deciding a subject is very crucial. I mostly follow a structured order of topics

Post Coronavirus - The New Normal - Part 1

-
Our world is being rampaged by the coronavirus(Covid-19) and new personal and social norms have been created in order to prevent the spread of the virus. As we are unsure whether if the virus will be eradicated or the fact that it may continue to remain on earth, we have to equip ourselves for the future in order to be able to live with it. In this blog which is the first of a duology, I will be looking at 3 normal features that we were accustomed to before the spread of the virus and how these features will be reshaped and remodeled in the future. I will also be giving my predictions on what we can expect from these changes in the future. 3 features of the ' Old Normal ' and how they will be modified for the ' New Normal '. 1. Wearing A Mask In Public Prior to the Covid-19 spread, it was not at all necessary to wear a mask in the public. Moreover, people who were sick were only encouraged to wear it. However, it is now made mandatory for everyone to wear a

Why Marketing Is So Crucial For Firms

Why Do Firms Need Marketing? Marketing is for firms what breath is for humans. Generally speaking, the 3 main reasons why entrepreneurs say the reason their company faced heavy losses is because it was either undercapitalized, employed the wrong people or the market conditions were bad. However, I would like to add a fourth point here which is poor marketing. Not only does effective and good marketing help a company sell its product thereby generating revenue, it also helps build indirect customer and business relationships and helps the company gain widespread fame and an increased customer base.  Types of Marketing : 1. Print Advertisements 2. Word of Mouth 3. Radio and Television Advertisements 4. Social Media Advertisements 5. Cause Marketing - Marketing that involves messages about social causes and activist messages 6. Relationship Marketing - Marketing campaigns that stress customer satisfaction more than sales transactions. The Advent of Digital Media Marketing Prior to the bir
