Fast food, tobacco and alcohol are pouring into India, promoting a consumer culture. India should beware. It must not repeat the mistakes of the West, says Andrée-Marie Dussault in his article entitled Cellphone and the Soul, in the Times of India, dated 24th January 2010. Andrée-Marie is a Delhi-based correspondent of a Swiss newspaper.

To Encourage Autonomy
To Encourage Autonomy
1. Let children make choices.
“Are you in a mood to go to painting class today or not?”
2. Show respect for a child’s struggle.
“Getting up early can be hard. If you come with me for a walk every morning you’ll feel better. Or have a cup of fresh juice as soon as you wake up. Or pour some water on your face.”
3. Don’t ask too many questions.
“Good morning.”
4. Don’t rush to answer questions.
“That’s a good question. What is your answer?”
5. Encourage children to use sources outside the home.
“Maybe Professor Shashi can offer an idea.”

Emotions have no place in office, haven't they?
Workplace is supposed to be a highly rational place. Your Human Resources (HR) team may tell you that there is no place for emotions at workplace. All the training programs and coaching sessions may be designed to develop and sharpen your left brain. Be analytical, every poster in your office may shout. Think before you act, your boss may tell you. Your year-end performance appraisal may be designed to give you a higher rating if you got assessed better on all those rational activities. However, you know really well that you are never a 100% rational person. You can never be.
