Leading a CBSE school for close to 10 years has shown me just how painful it can be to deal with the government machinery.
There are days when you come very close to giving up; not because running a school is difficult, but because you're exhausted from constantly having to give. Even greed should have a ceiling. There has to be a point where they should just live & let live.
Every approval (fire, safety, kitchen, hostel, or any other clearance) seems to come with an expectation of money. Every government meeting happening in the proximity of our school, we are not requested but demanded to provide money, school vans, staff, and other resources.
An example: the FIDE Chess Olympiad in Chennai in 2022. We were instructed to provide a couple of our school vans for advertisement. Huge posters featuring our Chief Minister and the Chess Olympiad branding were put up on our SCHOOL vehicles. A month after the event, when we requested that they be removed, we were told either to leave them as they were or remove them at our own expense (which was not cheap).
What disturbed me even more was hearing government officials openly say that corruption has always existed in TN, but under the current government, they no longer have to hide it or fear getting caught. Those words came from their own mouths.
I'm neither for nor against any political party. But when you endure one blow after another for years, it's only natural to feel relieved, and even celebrate, when the wind changes direction & you finally sense the possibility of a fresh breeze.
Awww .. that is so cute .. when we did the song we had no idea we were creating something that was going g to be popular for so many generations !!

Everyone is surprised when I say this, Dehradun is at a lower altitude than Blore.
This is why there is a lovely wind corridor across Blore that helps clear the pollution.
What contributes to the amazing Dehradun (had/whatever little remains): The high mountain winds rush in to the Dehradun valley and the protected forests (Mussorie ~6500ft)
Come to Dehradun. Would love to host startups 😃

The client told his architect: I don’t want a guest living room. I want a sit-out.
That one sentence changed the entire house. The roof sweeps wide to cover it. The plinth is raised so visitors feel received, not just admitted. The jali screens are placed by wind direction so air keeps moving through without a machine running. The courtyard pulls hot air upward through pressure difference and replaces it with cooler air from outside. The prayer room gets its light through a perforated terracotta ceiling that shifts shadows across the floor all day.
This house cost nothing extra to cool. It was designed for the climate it sits in, using materials that already understood that climate before the architect arrived.
2,500 square feet. Mangalore clay tile roof. Terracotta jali. Exposed timber. Open courtyard. Built in 2022.

Jordan Peterson on why the most boring parts of your day are actually the most important:
1. The reason to improve yourself is not some casual self-help aspiration. It is to stop suffering more stupidly than you have to. And to stop making the people around you suffer more stupidly than they have to. Peterson's framing: if you do not organize yourself properly you will pay for it in a big way. And so will everyone near you. That is not a motivational poster. It is a warning.
2. Start by looking around for something that bothers you and fixing it. Sit in your room and ask genuinely: if i had ten minutes to make this place better, what would i do. not as a command. as a real question. Things will pop out. The stack of papers that has been bugging you. The cables behind the monitor you have ignored for six months. the dust. fix those things. Fix a hundred things like that and your life will look completely different.
3. Fix the things you repeat every day first. People treat their daily routines as trivial. getting up, brushing teeth, breakfast, the same small habits. Peterson says those routines probably constitute fifty percent of your life. The things you do every day are the most important things you do. The arithmetic is obvious once you do it. Neglecting them because they feel mundane is exactly backwards.
4. Do not try to fix things outside your domain of competence. If you are walking down the street and see a man who is alcoholic, schizophrenic, and has been homeless for ten years, that is a problem. But mucking around in it will not help him and will very likely hurt you. You have to have humility. You do not walk up to a broken helicopter and start tinkering. Find what you can actually fix and fix that.
5. As soon as you give your mind a genuine aim, it reconfigures the world around that aim. This is not metaphor. It is how perception works. The famous gorilla experiment: people watching basketball players pass a ball, miss a gorilla walking through the middle of the frame because they were told to count passes. You see what you aim at. The world manifests itself differently depending on what you are looking for. If the world is manifesting itself negatively the first question to ask is whether you are aiming at the right thing.
🚨 BREAKING: Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announces "folate deficiency in a child's brain can lead to autism."
And an "exciting therapy" for kids with autism: leucovorin. Up to 60% of deficient children can have improved communication if they take it.
GREAT NEWS. This is groundbreaking.
