Aaku Posted October 9, 2010 Posted October 9, 2010 I've dialed 911 as well by mistake. For dialing to Delhi you would have to dial 011-91-11-xx. In my hungover state, I missed the 011 part, I suspect your Dada/Dadi also had a bit of Johnnie Walker. possible !

Rajiv Posted October 9, 2010 Posted October 9, 2010 Isn't the 'strict' attitude of parents, teachers made Indians sit in a shell and study whole day, thus being educated and excelling in life?

Crookbond Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 Shocking: children made to walk on fire http://www.thehindu.com/opinion/open-page/shocking-children-made-to-walk-on-fire/article4935847.ece Several children are abused by being subjected to burns. Realistic statistics will never be available for various reasons. However, doctors, particularly burn surgeons, are aware of the strange cause. Since the WHO has redefined the paediatric age as 0-18, the type of abuse varies. Hot water scalds are common in infants and children up to 5 years. Between the ages of 5 and 12, they suffer punishments by way of exposure to hot objects. Between 12 and 18, the abuses with corrosive chemicals are increasing. One day, a man brought his one-and-half-a-year old female child, Nalini (not the original name), with deep burns at the feet. They looked red like a pomegranate. The mother also came in but the couple never mentioned the cause of the burn. To my utter shock, they said it was due to fire-walking. I asked whether the child walked by herself or whether they carried her? The first answer was ‘we carried her’. But to my surprise there was no other area of burn on Nalini. If a one-and-half-a-year-old walks on hot coals she would have toppled and sustained burns all over. When I persisted, the parents revealed that the child was made to walk even as they were holding its hands. They themselves did not step into the trough with hot cinder. How cruel! It took four months to treat the child with skin grafting. There was another revelation — Nalini used to get fits, and they thought that the condition could not be cured. Maybe, she was a problem child. Equally cruel are other forms of abuse such as forcing children to touch hot iron or sit on a hot plate. Causing burns with cigarette butts and corrosive acids is not unknown. What was crueller, the parents of Nalini were reluctant to take the child back. As I gifted the kid padded footwear, the mother looked at me in disgust. Obviously, the child was not wanted. In olden days, most firewalkers had neural leprosy and they did not feel the heat due to their anaesthetic feet. Religious ritual is a matter of faith. If we cannot totally dissuade people from firewalking, we must at least be able to prevent young children, including toddlers like Nalini, from being made to walk on hot coals. Abuse by any form is punishable, but the law is not well-defined. Many a time the perpetrator cannot be identified at all in scalds, flame burns or acid attack.

I have seen many chilled guys, who dont sit 24 hours a day studying, also topping classes
Muloghonto Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 Teachers should never hit a child. If a teacher is having problem with discipline he/she should take help and advice from other teachers or the Principal. As for parents...hitting does not help in the long run but there are times when parents do need to resort to it .Most of us were hit from time to time and at least in my case I can say I am a better person for it.Given a choice between getting grounded or getting slapped by a parent I am sure I would have chosen the slap. As a parent I have resorted to it a few times. 1)Once she was hitting me with a toy (as she probably didn't know what she was doing and didn't realise it hurt).I told her to stop it a few times but when she didn't I took the toy and gave the same treatment back to her(very lightly).She cried but hasn't ever repeated it on anyone.My hubby approved of it and I don't feel guilty about it. 2) She liked to pull hair...not just ours but anyone's who was within range.Finally a ligt pull on her hair with a "that hurts no ?"and a stare has sorted out that problem. 3)She would keep grabbing at my cup of tea and finally one day I let her touch it...now she doesn't .(this doesn't count as hitting but falls in the same category) OK maybe i do feel a bit guilty....:(( Very very well put. As a parent, i wholeheartedly agree. My father set the example here: he caned me often, but never in anger. he'd calmly tell me to go fetch the cane and deliver the damage. Always top of my hands - father did not want my palms to be too sore to write or play sports with. Once or twice he's hit me in anger but then again, i deserved it. I am in favor of corporal punishment but within reasons. A key thing to realise too, is that violence is part of the world. A child needs to realize too that though violence is never a good option, it still exists and certain things a person can do can and will make 99% of other people violent towards them. A lil bit of corporal punishment instills that knowledge. Kids who never ever got beat - of them there are plenty- they rely pretty much on the law to protect them. And one fine day they say the wrong thing to the wrong person and end up dead or broken. Its sad and a bit too much PC to deny your child the lesson in darker realities in life.
