Issue #158, 18th July 2023

My birthday month is on and I am making a list of my favorite people, activities, places, and things to do. What are some of yours? Do you know what your student’s favorite things are? How about your child’s favorite things? Do you have a list of your own? How often do you revise it if you have one written down? Have they changed over the years? What are some of the reasons our favorite things change?

Sharing here some sample lists for students, teachers, and parents. Use these ideas to make your own with your students, friends, and family. Let me know how they turned out and what emotions did you go through while you were making them.

This is a free-to-subscribe newsletter. So if you like my content, please go ahead and subscribe to it by putting in your email id here:

Two Thoughts of the Week

“My favorite things in life don’t cost any money. It’s really clear that the most precious resource we all have is time. “

Steve Jobs

“Isn’t that the only way to curate a life? To live among things that make you gasp with delight?”
Maira Kalman, My Favorite Things

One Video of the Week

In the talk, he spoke about his journey as a singer and how he “has always been Lucky” since childhood as his family belongs to cinema and theatre for ages. He developed an interest into singing at a very young age and described how his father made his first debut when he was born. He also spoke about his unembellished life where he likes to stay in the scenic and greenery areas of the city and how he usually travels the road untaken to achieve his goals. An important message that he enlightened us with was an eye-opener to today’s youth and all generations, he said “Until you fall, You cannot rise”. Lucky Ali, a man who remained true to his art, and at the age of 62, he is still pure gold! He is an Indian singer, songwriter, and actor. With several popular singles and albums like ‘O Sanam’, ‘Kaho Na Pyaar Hai’, ‘Bachna ae Haseeno’, ‘Tamasha’, ‘Anjaana Anjaani’ and many more, he emerged as a significant figure of Indipop during the 1990s. There is no road trip or travel which is complete without his songs on and we wish we could show him the indelible mark he has left on our hearts and that will continue to be the case for generations to come!
