I feel withered thinking of all those moments my mother had to โThoda (little) Adjustโ. I learnt lessons in hard ways to understand the meaning of โlittleโ through travels and observations. One such incident was, I was taking a train to Vapi, a city in Valsad. I boarded a train with few passengers and several got in as the train moved from one station to the other. At a few stations like Vasai, Virar the number of people who got into the reservation compartment were more than the seats available. I saw a lady from a lower berth negotiating a young boy from a middle berth not to sleep as she wanted to sit. He seemed non-negotiable in spite of her attention from fellow passengers. I thought it’s fairly right for every passenger to choose : either to sit or sleep. However, the design of railway coaches limits these options in sleeper coaches. If one chooses to sleep, the person in the lower and middle berth has to adjust.ย Hence I mostly opt for upper berth.
I wasnโt concerned about this adjustment. But something else shook me in a moment as we crossed Virar station. As I returned from the wash room witnessed a man occupying my upper berth seat. I asked him for his ticket to check if one of us was wrongly occupied. He kept arguing that he is getting down at the next station that’s an hour away. I kept asking for his ticket. I told him either you move out of the berth otherwise I will complain to TC and if required will inform the police. He realised I am a tough nut to negotiate. I thought this is the end of such โadjustmentโ requests. Two women in the next berth were having hell out of arguments with the mob. I am using mob to indicate men who were trying to put those two women down through their yelling. I am glad two women doubled their voices. It included foul language that my ears werenโt prepared to hear! Two woman were right to ask passengers without reservations to get down and move to the unreserved compartments. Humans are complicated and men are complicated too! I witnessed the mob changing their voice asking two women to behave like โwomenโ. We have stereotyped genders and expectations are set accordingly!
I am not in for the foul language but the mob wouldnโt have understood other forms perhaps. If those men believe to behave like โgentlemenโ, they shouldnโt have got into reservation compartments. If this is unacceptable, why ask someone to be gentle or to adjust? Unfortunately, the people in the system should help to make the travel experience memorable, not bitter. Plus people should respect one’s itinerary. The Humane side is required at times of crisis but crisis cannot be presented as everyday.
I have instincts for such requests from passengers. I have denied at times and accepted at times to help the passengers through a dialogue with TC. I might not be able to give a medal to those two women or anyone who fought to fix the issues but would definitely applause for not โadjustingโ for the wrong ask!
Sometimes such wonderful messages often get missed. I am not sure why the editor film had to cut this wonderful message?

I was traveling to Delhi airport after a TEDx talk with a wonderful person Ms. Nabomita Mazumdar. She is one of the Top 100 Women Achievers winner from the Ministry of Women and Child Development, India. During our interaction she said, “whoever has identified the name QtPi, it’s amazing”. Perhaps this wasn’t the first time I had heard. People have smiled on hearing the name “QtPi” (www.qtpi.in). Nabomita’s words were reaffirmation of having the right name! Any branding strategist would agree that the right name is timeless like a workhorse and a brand asset.
Do share your such experience!
This article is in continuation to the : Decoding Parents Asks versus Product offers in EdTech (click here to read). EdTech companies are relatively new to India and elsewhere. EdTech companies have brought in inclusivity and affordability from the traditional brick and mortar environment. Though the earlier generation would prefer brick and mortar or sandwiched models, part online and part in classroom learning. The present generation will eventually move to online and might look for brick and mortar for hands-on activities like maker space. Some readers might not agree to me, that’s absolutely fine. Kindly bear on my thinking till the end!
As I mentioned EdTech companies have brought inclusivity in learning otherwise one relied heavily on competitive exams, cut off marks, limited seats for a course, unaffordable fees, location constrains are some of the reasons to younger generations who are exploring affordability, time saver, hassle free process and goal-oriented. These are evident in less developed countries where there is a larger percentage of the young population. These young people understand the challenges per se in education, job opportunities and career. The internet presents social dynamics among their peers for the young generation. The argument is not to replace the brick and mortar experience but make it inclusive. As inclusiveness is not about being similar; it is about having similar experience despite differences.
I think consumers must help EdTech through constructive feedback, collaboration and their ask to narrow down the differences that were caused because of exclusivity. I assume we learn to fight out the curiosity. It’s a feeling of deprivation that comes from what we know and what we want to know. Humans are constantly looking for ways out to fill this gap.
At the moment the need is all about board exams either it be 10th and 12th, though it holds true in higher education as well. Hence the curiosity level is low. In other words parents, education institutions have little or no expectations at all. As exams do not have an element of curiosity. They are measures of already taught and known. There is no exploration! This also could be a strong reason that in most Parent Teachers Meeting (PTM) the discussion revolves around academics. I am not against exams completely but it’s always 1/3rd for me. The 2/3rd has elements of physical and mental stimulus. The board exams strong expectation from parents makes children avoid finding truth and therefore have low curiosity.

I have more questions than answers in this article. How do you view money? Small or Big? I see money is often viewed as big and small rather than affordable and costly. Today I read a write-up from a parent on a platform about an education product. Initially I thought it was pros and cons of the product. Then I see several threads intertwined. I shall try to decode the same.
Firstly the parent think – โmy child didnโt like the product and its lying on the table as it is since some days.โ The thread unfolds to help me to understand that it was a self-learning module. The question that continues to linger is – isnโt it choice of a parent? Any good product developers would develop for a larger application. I felt the issue wasnโt with the product but on the generalisation by the vendor and secondly the buyer on buying the idea that’s applicable for their child. Did the parent try a trail session? Or a smaller session? If the answer is yes, then the first and future points are more repentance of choice than the product itself. I believe that the parent has to understand that everyoneโs (not just kids but adults as well) learning processes are different. Once the problem is understood fixation is required than asking the same offer to do wonders. It’s like asking Margherita Pizza to have all toppings! I am all in for deliberations to choose a product over ranting and raging.
Secondly the parents talk about school work load, tuition work load, busy and occupied parents and so on. According to me the conclusions were drawn of the product mostly relying on these arguments. Unending questions were popping out – Is an ambitious and career orientated parent doesnโt have time for their own child? Does the parent expect the self-learning module to do wonder by itself? Unlike in the past, today parents might have one or two children. Is parenting one child so difficult? Or priorities are misplaced?
I smiled ear to ear on reading the closing remarks – โlet your children naturally blossom.โ Perhaps this was only a point that resonated to me though with caution. I am not sure if the parent meant what Author Tim Harford shares about the slow-motion multitask in his TED Talk (click here) and Adam Grant shares about the habits on original thinkers in his TED Talk (click here) . Though, I doubt the parents meant the same!
Parent rant and rage is understandable if the promises are broken from the vendor. I am not sure what the vendor promised. I can only assume from the bit and piece from the write-up. I think anyone must read articles & ads as : โNothing said in general to be read for specific and nothing said in specific to be read for general. Both cases arenโt wrong!โ I think it’s also a good case for the vendor to revisit such a request from parents and promises to offer in the future. How do parents see such ads? I have a piece to read – click here
Let us revisit on my first thought – How do you view money? Small or Big? I see money is often viewed as big and small rather than affordable and costly. Let’s assume as a parent you are with your child in a supermarket. I am sure a child wouldnโt leave you till one favourite thing is bought. Let say you pick up a toy in order to give you peace of mind to shop for household needs. As you move with your child from one row to another row the child is occupied and busy with the toy. You have won and the child has won! Isnโt it? As you move to the counter to pay and you notice the toy is broken into pieces. You still pay for it either being a happy parent of a child utilised the toy to the maximum or regret handling behaviour. Lets extend with another possibility, the toy is intact. You pay and walk out and the child hands it over to you at the exit door and says, “I donโt want it”. Would you go back to return it? Would you blame the vendor? Would you blame the supermarket for stocking toys? Would you blame the child? Would you blame yourself? Would you pacify yourself with a pat thinking it was affordable? Would you go on a platform and rant about the toy?I warned you in the beginning I have more questions to seek answers over answers to them.
However this could happen with any product or service. My original intention of the article is firstly, for individuals to revisit on understanding the way we see and think about money. As I think every coin or banknote has a face value (a true story – click here). Secondly, ways to see ads and have deliberations and take a test ride before buying. Thirdly, not all services and products appeal; it could be aesthetic, value, promises or so on. Fourthly, donโt worry about failing an experiment and it’s going to help your child make an early better decision than repenting in mid-career. This would be very difficult to reverse.ย Several people would nod with the fourth point atleast if not all!

Episode 2 – “Baaton Ka Bharta” translate loosely as “Talker” in English. The series aims on important parenting lessons one could have learnt from personal experiences or observations.
Media partner – Aliska-News and Supported by Amrita Foundation
Powered by QtPi robotics
Let me begin on ways to read articles & ads: โNothing said in general to be read for specific and nothing said in specific to be read for general. Both cases arenโt wrong!โ
Ads with facts in general or in specific talks about โcallingโ mostly through a known person in an ad. That person calling may not have to do with anyone else or product itself. People resonate with them as economic growth keeps mankind together. This is true as oneโs calling romanticise several others. This unrealistic love could take a hit on a good life. If this is to be true then, how should one see any ads? See them as they are! In other words, see them as a craft. Focus must be on learning or doing an activity not driving relationships to the person in the ad. This is highly true for kids! One doctor friend gave an interesting view on things to use on skin (to keep it healthy): Apply those are edible! The doctor did make sense; one thatโs good for internal development of the body holds good for external too! Donโt we miss the โcallingโ of the external body?
There is nothing wrong with setting lofty goals but only on the condition that one maintain a distanced, level-headed relationship with goals. Even one has to argue on a handful of names that falls in the bracket of โcallingโ & โsuccessโ. However, there is a larger pool of miserably failures. One needs to take calling with a pinch of salt because there are people such as terrorists, cheaters, criminals can also claim on their calling.
Does this mean one should avoid the ads? Absolutely no! Ads help us know about a product or service for the community. There are two right outcomes: Learn and practice (with respect to ads of coding) or use and test (with respect to food). One could also avoid the ads. And remember its child who is participating, not you, parent! As much food is to the body, learning is to the mind. See it as one more activity for the development of mind. A development that’s going to gain experiences and skills. As one day, everyone might need to do a job to make bread for the day mostly through an ad.

In one of my interactions with a pilot I asked a question, what runs in your mind while being in the cockpit of the plane? The pilot paused and said, โI am not aiming to give a spectacular feeling to the passengers but to ensure a safe reach. I just hope not to crash.โ Today I could relate to this several aspects of parenting. I can always prevent my kids from learn coding because I think it isnโt safe or save them from a possible crash. The items in โIsnโt safeโ are – exposure time to screen, impact to eyes, and wrong use of the internet. And the items in โSaveโ are – not sure if today they learn would become redundant, young to code, time, and money.ย
As a parent sometimes I see it like investing in the stock market. I often think investment to be โupsideโ preferably, not โdownsideโ. This conservative move misses mistakes and in turn experiences. See its safe to avoid a bad experience! As a conservative parent I end up asking – what Coding isnโt, rather than what Coding is. In other words what coding could guarantee? I often donโt ask, by not doing what does it prevent? As a well-wisher of my child I often forget to ask myself the thinking I have through the knowledge is somewhat puny.ย
As a parent it’s my duty to โsaveโ children from alcoholism, drugs, dysfunctional marriage, debt, loneliness, self-comparisons with others, rage, envy and so on. I donโt think anyone needs to educate me on this. As a parent I need to see how close โcodingโ is to this save list. Is it bad like war, destroys house, disease, divorce and bankruptcy?ย
This thinking has left me to revisit my โupsideโ and โdownsideโ plus to understand the difference between thinking and doing. As one of my professor rightly said, โEngineering is an ideal degree if you want to become a engineering professor but not if you want to be an engineerโ. This thought reminded me – one becomes an engineer by โdoingโ or practice. This is true in every field! Nobel prizes are for โdoingโ not for just โthinkingโ. Doing ( or Tinkering) can take anyone to anywhere. Here โanywhereโ I refer to a position in a company or become a founder or a scientist.ย
These thoughts have made me move from โthinking shoeโ to โdoing shoeโ. Be the proverbial king who dressed as a beggar to mingle with his subjects to help understand thinking and doing.ย What would you do – thinking or doing?
