The Unconference

Global Eductors Fest, New Delhi August, 2017

Scoonews, India’s largest education media house are about to disrupt the conventional school conference space with the Global Educators Fest 2017.

    #GlobalEdFest #UnConference2017 #Scoonews #Education #Edtech

India’s largest brainstorm is coming to stir up and inspire the education sector.

The event the ‘Unconference’ is going to be an evolutionary leap over conferences that have been used to attending. Rather than a one-way dispersion of gyan it is going to be a two-way interaction between experts and the attendees through live demonstrations, interactive sessions, workshops and exhibitions.

Unconference - a loosely structured conference emphasizing the informal exchange of information and ideas between the participants, rather than following conventionally structured programme of events.

This year’s theme is ‘Unlearn the conventional’ as it is time to question legacy education and introduce disruption using technology and creativity. However, to achieve this, we need to be able to talk to the right audiences while creating awareness, curiosity and enthusiasm on the blogosphere and the social media. In other words, a buzz around Global Educators Fest 2017 will bring home the point.

It will take India’s largest brainstorm to stir up and bring disruption to the education sector. Prepare to unlearn everything about learning and teaching. India’s largest educational brainstorm is coming.

Are we raising our kids to be adult babies?

Are we raising our kids to be adult babies?

Hi! Friends,

I came across a really nice article.  

Every Parent Must read

I was at a friend’s home for lunch. Her 5-year old daughter refused to eat what was cooked for lunch. My friends felt so guilty that her daughter would go hungry, that she cooked up her favourite pasta immediately. According to her, it was not the first time this had happened.

A few weeks ago, I had attended a birthday party of my daughter’s friend. There they played a game, the age old ‘Passing the parcel’, however, what was different was the way it was played. The child who was caught with the parcel when the music stopped was asked to leave the circle, but with that parcel as the gift, and then a new parcel was introduced. The game continued till every child got a gift. I asked the mother what was wrong with the earlier version, the version we had all grown up with. She said – “I do not like kids to be disappointed. See, here every child is happy as he or she gets to take a gift home.”

At the School Sports Day, there are no races, no competition. No first, second or runner ups. Because, everyone is equal, there should be no competition between the kids.

In another instance, I was in the park with my daughter. She was playing lock and key with her friends. Now, one of her friends fell down. Her mother, who was on the other side of the park ran to his son, all confused and upset. She scooped her son in her lap and started inquiring – “Are you hurt? Let me see! Do no cry! Shush, mama is here.” The child, had a scraped knee, who was perfectly OK till then, started crying earnestly.

Kids today have a room full of toys and games. Some they ask, some they do not. But, they still get them. Everything in excess is the new mantra of life.

Our parents taught us self-reliance, while we hover around our children and want to protect them at all costs. We like to hold our babies closer to the protection of the nest. We go out of our way and rustle up something when they don’t eat what’s cooked at home for everyone else, because we don’t them to sleep hungry. Instead of letting them play outside, we organize activities for them. We do their homework and their assignments. We even resolve their conflicts for them.

It makes me wonder, what will happen to these kids when they grow up?

Will they get a gift everytime they fail? Will they be able to handle disappointment? A child who has never been denied anything, how will he cope with rejections? There are a growing number of cases when kids run away from home or commit suicide because they are not able to deal with low marks in examinations or when they fail to secure an admission in an institution of their choice.

Will their parents keep them hidden in their bosom all their life? Our mothers never ran after us, a scraped knee was just that. She would ask us to wash it with some water and then forget about it. But, there was no drama that followed. Falling and hurting was a part of daily life for us. We cycled, climbed up trees and jumped from the stairs. Today, kids travel in elevators and escalators (because they might fall down the stairs and get themselves hurt). Earlier, kids walked and cycled. I hardly see kids walking nowadays, unless it’s for a kids’ marathon and they are required to pose for selfies with their cool mommies. I never see kids climbing up the monkey bars, do you?

Will they shy away from competition or be able to survive it? OK, so we can accompany our kids till the college gate and sit in the waiting area while they appear for a job interview. In one-child China, parents have been known to put up tents outside their college kids’ dorms. This is an invisible umbilical cord we are just not ready to cut. And, what happens after that? A child who is never used to losing – how will he survive in the big bad world?

So what should we do?

• Stop telling our children that they are special all the time. They are not, at least not always. So reserve the praises for the times when they actually deserve.
• Stop going out of the way to create happiness in their life. The life is a mix of joys and sorrows, and it is for a reason. We have no right to interfere with the nature. So let’s stop pretending that everything is all right when it’s not. Let the kids have their fair share of disappointments at an early age. It’s better to fall at 10, than at 40.
• Stop giving them things when they don’t require it. We had fewer toys, but did we ever complain? Were we unhappy because of that? No, right. So why are we teaching our kids to be materialistic? Why should they find happiness in toys and games, and not people? We give them iPads, iPhones…we are teaching them it’s all right to speak to the technology, rather than people. Today’s kids have more virtual friends than actual friends.
• Stop hovering around them. Let them take action and be responsible for it. If they have done a wrong deed, they should take the punishment or the consequences for it. Do not protect them unnecessarily.
• Let them fall. And, do not cushion their fall. Also, let them get up on their own. Only when they fall, will they get up. Let them learn things on their own.
• Stop feeling guilty. For things we can’t provide them. We are the parents, not superhumans or Gods. Make kids understand our limitations.

It’s not the kids who are at fault, but us, the parents. Let’s sit with our parents and understand how they raised us – independent and fearless. We can take a leaf or two from their parenting book. It wouldn’t do us any harm, but might save our kids!

Holi Thoda Aur Stylish

Let's make This Holi Thoda Aur Stylish!!!!

Holi is the festival of colours & happiness. People celebrate Holi with great enthusiasm. People visit friends and families to spray colored water on them. People roam on streets and throw colored water balloons on others. Some people that don’t wish to get wet play with dry colors solely.

India Intimate fashion Week to take place from 18th - 19th March

India Intimate fashion Week to take place from 18th - 19th March at Hotel, The Leela, Mumbai

Press Release

Mumbai, February 22, 2017: India’s first fashion week (IIFW) dedicated to showcasing the Lingerie and Intimate wear apparel category in India has announced its event dates. The 1st edition of the coveted fashion extravaganza, IIFW is set to take place from 18th to 19th March at Hotel The Leela in Mumbai.

The 1st edition of IIFW conceptualised to bring together the Indian intimate apparel industry is set to emerge as the largest platform for intimate fashion. The landmark event will bring together leading premium Indian and International Lingerie Brands, Lingerie Designers, Lingerie E-Commerce, Lingerie Stylists and Experts, Next-Gen Lingerie Talents, Intimate Wear Bloggers, Sponsors and numerous unique visitors from diverse fields under one roof.

Niraj Jawanjal, Founder and Director of IIFW, said “The intimate wear industry is amongst the largest industry’s across the world and has grown tremendously in last few years. However, in India, we still consider talking about lingerie and intimate wears as ‘Taboo”. While we are bringing a revolution in the field of fashion through IIFW, we would urge people to open about their choices in this segment and ‘#BooTheTaboo’ in India.” 

Talking about the opportunity for the Indian intimate wear industry in a global landscape, he further added “India is undoubtedly amongst the largest potential Intimate apparel market in the world but we still do not have any worthwhile fashion platform that promotes, showcases intimate wear and its related talent. The concept of The India Intimate fashion Week is to provide a powerful and decisive platform to connect all potential stakeholders - Brands, customers, designers etc. in one place.”, Niraj added.

Amit Pandey, Media Head and Associate Partner, IIFW said “With India Intimate fashion Week, we intend bring alive the most elegant yet unexplored segment of fashion in India. IIFW has already gathered much appreciation from Industry stalwarts’ since it was announced. We are looking at delivering on the superior expectations through a high impact awareness campaign and stunning event. We look forward to some great participation from the industry this year.”

Speaking about the thought behind the social media campaign , he further added “Intimate wear and Lingerie fashion is still in its nascent stage in India with communication being limited and constrained. Our social media campaigns #BooTheTaboo and #TheRightCup will be focussed on breaking the mindset barrier and facilitating open conversations

around the category.”

To add more to the elegance of IIFW, the 1st edition of India Intimate Fashion Week will be opened by internationally acclaimed designer Mona Shroff and the glam and glitz of the event will be further added by ace designers like Nidhi Munim, Karishma Jumani, Keith Jackson.

In addition to that, internationally recognised Fashion and beauty expert Ramez Basmaji will share some great fashion with to the Fashionista’ as an official Fashion consultant.

Leading online e-commerce ‘Ekatrra’ is the official online fashion partner of IIFW.

Styling for Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day to all the lovely readers.

fbb outlet in Rcity was decorated and was lively. People are shopping for the Valentine's Day.
My Valentine's Day's fbb indo-western outfit made me look very very gorgeous. My husband admired me in the outfit.

For me Valentine's Day means full of love and red colour reflects the love. I always go in for a red coloured outfit for this day. This time I had gone for a red and off white long kruti

The offwhite section has lovely mirror and red thread work. This enhanced the look.

I paired it with off white plazo pant. The offwhite plazo pant complimented the Kurti.

The fbb styled my look for the Valentine's Day and enhanced my beauty.

Thanks to fbb.
