ManaBadi - Teaching Telugu for Children .... why?
ManaBadi is SiliconAndhras Dream, now a successful story, with lot of dedicated and passionate teachers - ManaBadi is a program in Bay Area which has Telugu Curriculum programmes for kids, actually for all those who cannot read, write Telugu language.
We are teaching Telugu Language classes to our kids, this is a 4 year,very organized curriculum taught by committed passionate volunteers from Telugu community, certified by Telugu University.
What am i doing there? i am a volunteer teacher myself at Fremont, California, i also help out the admin team, curriculum team and website development team for ManaBadi in whatever way i can.
i say to myself why? bcoz i am mother myself, after couple of years passed and if i look back and say to myself why Ramya(my little one) is not speaking, writing in telugu, the question might come back to me ... what have u done? the question is ...it is not what is required ...u have to give more than that
i say to myself why? i feel the personal satisfaction being part of such a good team.
i analyzed the problem, it is not kids, it is not with parents not teaching telugu at home but bcoz we do not have the environment for kids where they are motivated to speak themselves with a liking for the language.
The mediocre teacher tells.
The good teacher explains.
The superior teacher demonstrates.
The great teacher inspires.
~William Arthur Ward
who is going to motivate them? who takes it as a responsibility?
I think everyone whether they are a parent or not, take responsibility of giving language to kids in what ever way they can..
There is a english saying, 'IT TAKES THE WHOLE VILLAGETO RAISE A CHILD'.
With my busy schedule, i always say to myself this is important stuff and i need to give more time for kids ...
Here are my postings for My class ManaBadi Fremont South J3

Car Pool - Ethical sense
Car pool is not opted by many …Is it bcoz mainly convenience or humans cannot(forgot to??) coordinate effectively with each other?
Even though we all know carpool is better, u can see there is only one lane for carpoolers and many lanes …. Even Traffic jam they do not mind.
Hope to see all car pool lanes and only one lane for those who want to drive themselves and the speed should be 50 in that lane…

Artificial Intelligence - Robots in daily life
for safety, security, entertainment, science, research, computing..
robots serving food(i guess i need to tip them properly), cooking food???, driving for us
can robots replace humans?????
I do not think so ....
robots cannot analyse effectively it is going to be humans edge
Indian dancers will remain for long, there is no beauty when robot does the Indian dances(bharat natyam, kuchipudi .....sure.... bcoz... as emotions play a major role
will in future there will be inter-robotical skills a topic to discuss? like interpersonal skills for humans?
will there will career goals for robots ?
