Population and Housing Census

Although the first two days of the National Population and Housing Day have been gloomy with non-stop rain yesterday,  the final day that is today is bright. Hope the weather is fine like here in my place.  So that the supervisors and ennumerators deployed in the fields could return to their stations without any problems especially those who are deployed in rural areas.  Especially road is a concern when it rains. 
     Hopefully the census data will be taken into consideration by the future planners while planning for the country.  In a year our nation will see third election taking place and the census data will surely serve the political parties in reviewing their manifestos, I think.  Moreover the concerned agencies who contributed questions for the census will see their concerns answered and will embark to address their issues. 
     For the huge expenditure the government is paying for the ongoing census,  hopefully,  the people across the nation have cooperated with census officials providing them right information.  With the people's true response in addition to the census officials genuine service,  the government will get back the census expenditure in the form of best policies and programs flowing out in the future of our nation. 
     If I were one of the officials,  I would have learned a lot despite tedious work and walk from house to house. Apart from the information required to collect,  I would have learnt the people's normal way of living and the natural environment in which most of the rural settlements are set in.  Of course my world would have expanded connecting with many people in the process of executing my duty.

Nature Activates our Senses

Today on the sultry afternoon, right after the lunch, I was to teach a poem in class III. As most of the time, afternoon hour wasn't that pleasant and fresh in both me and my children. After a short time of line by line recitation as an exercise of the poem, I took the children out.
     And in the moment of carrying out reading exercises pertaining the poem, this feeling, taking class in a heart of a nature is a key to activate ones senses towards learning especially when the lesson is related to nature, resurfaced in me. The hearts of the children are opened unconsciously to sense the nature at her true nature. Just a gush of breeze through a rustle of leaves activates both teacher and taught to learn better let alone the allure of other elements of nature. The vibrancy of nature simply reinforces learning. In nature's lap, everything is real, open and within our reach to show and inspire. Like in a classroom while teaching nature related lessons, we don't have to exhaust ourselves to create imaginary world of nature often putting children to doze. Everything is right in front of our senses. All we have to do is to pop up the caps of children's senses and everything will bubble up unceasingly.
