Guiding Light: Missing mentor

From this week, we are starting a new section which speaks about various issues related to youth, and also seeks the participation of parents and guardians.

Our new section, GUIDING LIGHT, speaks about various issues related to youth. But these are issues which also seek the participation of parents, guardians, mentors, school teachers, professors, principals - the guiding light for youth, people they turn to most when they need to discuss their problems.

This is also a space where youth and adults can send in their queries and thoughts, or suggest topics related to youth today, which they feel needs to be discussed. We will send these queries and suggested topics to our expert, Seema Sharma who will talk about them in her subsequent columns, along with other topics.

So just send us your mails here:vijayasharma@hindustantimes.com

This is our third article in the series:

LIVING IN THE MOMENT!

We are living in a time when the feature list to define a person/personality has become skewed. The features which used to matter more have become insignificant and the features which used to trail in the list have surfaced to top the chart. Not that this has been deliberate. It has happened although.

The process has taken years to come around. It was probably the demand of time that we started spending less time on understanding people ourselves. In this world of ‘fast food’; we also have become something like ‘impatient people’. Now, we understand people in terms of pre-determined ideations.
