1st day of Computer Coaching Class to children at SAI ASHRAYADHAM, Kadugodi, Whitefield, Bengaluru
Dear Friends,
Om Sai Ram.
With the grace and blessing of all Gurus and Gods, we were able to launch the computer coaching class for children at Sai Ashrayadham, Kadugodi, Bengaluru.
Initial plans were to start with computer basic skills and more children were interested and participated in it on their on will.
I append below an UNEDITED version of email from my wife Rajashree on the 1st day of this project:
The children were happy to see us. Initially all the elder boys aged above 12 years joined. But later i saw so many other younger enthusiasts eagerly peeping through the window. Then I allowed them also to join. They were simply thrilled.
They were so happy to learn. They showed so much interest . They have very good grasping power also.
When I asked them simple questions like the full form of CPU, they just shot back with the correct answer. Then I explained to them the significance of CPU
Today being the first class, we took around the whole system. All of them sat throughout the class keenly listening to whatever we were teaching them.Some of them have drawn some pictures in their books. I shall email you those drawings also.
It was a nice experience spending so much time with these children. WE HAVE A LOT TO LEARN FROM THEM WHEN WE CRIB ABOUT SMALL SMALL PROBLEMS.
THEY ARE ALWAYS SMILING THROUGH THE PAIN AND SO GOD FEARING.
Monu also enjoyed seeing them show so much interest in learning computer.
When we left, they asked us – ‘Aunty neenu saturday bharthiya’. We told them we will surely come.
Mon has taken some photos of the class sessions. Shall email you””

This Crossing is waiting for a tragedy – wish the railway / authorities open their eyes before it is too late
This Crossing is waiting for a tragedy – wish the railway / authorities open their eyes before it is too late
I have written here earlier too about the need for a pedestrian overbridge at the Whitefield railway crossing. It is labelled clearly by the railway authorities that “Trespassing is prohibited”. But it looks like there ends there (Railway’s) responsibility. When they built the flyover and closed this railway gate permanently, they never thought options for the public to:
– reach the railway station from the bus station side conveniently – other than to go over the 1 kms approximately lengthy bridge and come down and then reach across
– to install necessary street light for public
– to consider the huge number of public who rely that route mainly to reach the bus station, railway station from both sides and the ashram and market and shopping area and residential area situated on one side of the gate.
– never ever thought about the elderly or rather even young who has to go across two or even three waiting trains, which can move any time when the pass underneath them
– or even never ever thought about the public who has to go past the railway track which is often made filthy by the excretory output from the passing train
The sad thing is that this case is made aware to the legislator, railway authorities, electricity board, bus terminal authorities and even police. It looks like someone somewhere is competing with the other as to who will make the first step to solve this issue.
The day is not too far, when we will get to hear a tragedy of someone getting run over by a starting train, which has stopped when they tried to move down under.
I really pity everyone for this plight, especially the elders and sick, when even young find it difficult to cross over.
Hope this post and the photo and the video in the attached link (as I cannot post videos here) open the eyes of general public who uses this route and the authorities to find immediate solution to resolve this issue and build a flyover to have safe journey across, and install necesary and sufficient lighting on both sides.
I tried my best efforts to alert all concerned about this danger several times, and look forward to added assistance from Praja members and general public to resolve this.
