Darwin Statue at Shrewsbury City Library.

February 12th, 1809: On this date, two great men were born — Abraham Lincoln, Emancipator of American Slaves and Charles Darwin, Emancipator of the Human Mind.

Let's have some Lincoln-Darwin Celebrations. Charles Robert Darwin was born in the town of Shrewsbury, England on February 12th 1809. The family house still stands and is currently the offices for the District Valuers. His first school is next door on Claremont Hill and his next school, Shrewsbury School, is now the town's library where an imposing statue of the great man sits outside. Shrewsbury also boasts a lively cultural scene with art, music and even a cartoon festival. With all its attractions, it is perhaps the setting that is the most impressive.

Change for Good is Pongal

Sankranthi/Pongal promotes love among one's kith and kin and friends as all of them come together to celebrate this festival. The Sankranthi festival was thus designed to promote harmony and love in the family...

The day is considered auspicious for man to embark on his journey towards the goal of a purposeful, sacred and blissful life. The weather during the season is cool and pleasant.

Dear Children, Change for good is Sankranthi and We Wish you all a Happy Pongal/Sankranthi!

An interesting LIFE for you to read: The story Hypatia of Alexandria, Egypt.

Hypatia is credited with saying. "To teach superstitions as truth is a most terrible thing."

Dear Children , Good Morning!

Hypatia was born in the year 370 AD.

The life of Hypatia was one enriched with a passion for knowledge. Hypatia was the daughter of Theon, who was considered one of the most educated men in Alexandria, Egypt. Theon raised Hypatia in a world of education. Most historians now recognize Hypatia not only as a mathematician and scientist, but also as a philosopher.

Throughout her childhood, Theon raised Hypatia in an environment of thought. Historians believe that Theon tried to raise her the perfect human. Theon himself was a well known scholar and a professor of mathematics at the University of Alexandria.

Theon and Hypatia formed a strong bond as he taught Hypatia his own knowledge and shared his passion in the search for answers to the unknown. As Hypatia grew older, she began to develop an enthusiasm for mathematics and the sciences. Most historians believe that Hypatia surpassed her father's knowledge at a young age.

In her education, Theon instructed Hypatia on the different religions of the world
and taught her how to influence people with the power of words. He taught her the fundamentals of teaching, so that Hypatia became a profound orator.

People from other cities came to study and learn from her. Hypatia's life ended tragically, however her life's work remained. Later, Descartes, Newton, and Leibniz expanded on her work. Hypatia made extraordinary accomplishments for a woman in her time. Philosophers considered her a woman of great knowledge and an excellent teacher.

Think only of the best, to work only for the best, and expect only the best.

Thought For The Day

Dear all,

The essence of teaching is to make learning contagious, to have one idea spark another.

"A hundred years from now
it will not matter what my bank account was,
the sort of house I lived in,
or the kind of car I drove.

but the world may be different
because I was important in the life of a child.”

These words truly bring the meaning of “real success” into focus.

It’s better to present unified command with teachers for good things, while at the same time being tender.

To exist is to change, to change is to mature, to mature is to go on creating oneself endlessly. We must always change, renew, rejuvenate ourselves; otherwise we harden.

With Love, Amma-Naana

A single idea may be worth a million dollars. The goal to futuring is not to predict future but to improve it.

Dear Children, Good Morning!

How are you? We are fine here..
There is a little bit heavy snow-fall today. It seems it is going to be a normal day. People might be leaving for their work-places as usual. But visibility is less still, as there is still snow fall. There is power, there is telephone at work. Everything is normal.

With love, Amma-Naana
