Shravan's Random Notes - Let go of your self and experience life http://shravanshetty.posterous.com Most recent posts at Shravan's Random Notes - Let go of your self and experience life posterous.com Fri, 11 Nov 2011 19:23:20 -0800 Bookvalue - Free From School- Rahul Alvares http://shravanshetty.posterous.com/bookvalue-free-from-school-rahul-alvares http://shravanshetty.posterous.com/bookvalue-free-from-school-rahul-alvares Hi

We can learn a lot from Nature. What i know mostly from nature is from my friend, Sandeep Shetty ,a fellow Soft Skills Trainer and a passionate outdoor and wildlife enthusiast. He is somebody i look upto for the fact of him being a self made man. Even tthough he is a pharmacist by education , He actually is a self taught wildlife and nature expert. His passion and dream to teach Nature and wildlife to School Students is just one school giving him a opportunity. I say this becuse he has painstakingly put the idea, and researched it thoroughly and has a pool of people to faciliate the learning. i believe that he individually can faciliate most of it considering his knowledge , competence and passion

If Sandeep wrote a book , it would perhaps be along the lines that Rahul has written :)

Here is another Book on Alternative education from Other India Press.

Free from School

Its not every day that a 16 year old writes a book. In fact, girls and boys of that age are supposed to spend their time studying what other people write.It is presumed that at that age they do not themselves have anything significant or interesting to say. And the education system gurantees just that. The rewards go to those who can parrot set answers to set questions in examination halls. those who try to use their imagination or reply differently are often punished with low grades.

Rahul Alvares did not set out to write a book. With the encouragement of his parents, he consciously set out to try his hand at learning things outside the school framework and you might say as a result, Free from school actually came looking for him!
After his SSC, unlike his other classmates, he opted out of schooling to follow his instincts:fond of reptiles,he chased them up at the Pune Snake park and at the Crocodile Bank at Mammallapuram. in the process , he also picked up trails of spiders,earthworms and turtles. He caught Snakes in the company of the irula tribals. he got bitten by hot-tempered reptiles. He came out of it all grinning and wiser.

Free from School is his story of a year out of school, when the learning graph of his young life went up by leaps and bounds. he wrote it to encourage other boys and girls his age to move out of the sterile school and college environment offered by India's antiquated educational system, if they wish to experience another side to life and learning. He lost nothing but gained a lot. So did his parents. Whne you read this story, so will you.

More power to you , Sandeep Shetty, Rahul Alvares and the Other India press  :)

You are a few amongst the many who i know who walk the talk :)

Hi
 
 In a world of too many options and too little time, our obvious choice is to just ignore the ordinary stuff. Marketing guru Seth Godin spells out why, when it comes to getting our attention, bad or bizarre ideas are more successful than boring ones.

Book Bytes - A email to a coachee for a career in Branding

A Career is a journey.

I always use this Quotation which emphasises the fact that reading is critical to be successful

“You will be the same person in five years as you are today except for two things, the people you meet and the books you read.” –Charlie “Tremendous“  Jones

  

In my expereince as a executive coach working with coachees right from MBA freshers to those with experience,i have found that the ones who lead are the ones who read.
Email me for the attachment  and doc which has an email with recommended books that i sent a coachee with a list of recommended  books + excerpts from one of the  books  as she embarked on a career in branding fresh out of a B-School.Its for a beginner.Email me at consultshravan@gmail.com

Cheers!
