Sunday Series 7 : Teachers Who Never Fought Back The quiet exits no one talks about OPENING  This is not about rebellion. This is about resignation - not on paper, but in the heart. Some teachers raise their voice. Some defend themselves. And then there are those who choose silence -  not because they are weak, but because they are tired of being misunderstood. A BRIEF REALITY CHECK  In every staffroom, there are two kinds of good teachers. The First Kind: They speak up. They negotiate. They know how to survive tough systems. They are heard - sometimes resisted, but rarely erased. The Second Kind: They endure. They believe suffering will be compensated by sincerity. They tolerate humiliation quietly, trusting time, God, or karma. This piece is for the second kind -  the ones whose pain never becomes a complaint. REAL STORY 1 - The Silent Exit She did not protest. She planned. She observed policies. She collected her documents patiently. She took medical leave — not...

Reflection – Part 10: From Unrequited Love Series  Becoming Without Bitterness This is where the journey finally rests. Not with closure that feels dramatic, But with acceptance that feels calm. Babli became a memory - not a wound. Pawan became stronger -  not hardened. Unrequited love did not leave him incomplete. It refined him. He learned to feel deeply without demanding return. To walk away without resentment. To remember without longing. This was not the end of love. It was the beginning of emotional maturity . And perhaps that is the greatest transformation love can offer -  becoming someone better, without bitterness. 📘 Inspired by the novel “Unrequited Love: Pawan and Babli’s Love Story” The complete emotional journey lives only within the novel.

Behavioural Economics - Part 2 Social Comparison Bias and the Economics of Anxiety Why Comparison Costs More Than We Admit Introduction: When Comparison Becomes Invisible Pressure In Part 1, we explored how status quietly shapes human behaviour and economic decisions. In this part, we move deeper — into the emotional engine behind status behaviour: 👉 Social Comparison Bias 👉 And the Anxiety it silently produces Classical economics assumes that individuals assess their position independently. Real life shows something very different. Humans evaluate themselves relative to others - and that comparison has a cost. That cost is not always financial. Very often, it is psychological anxiety . 1. What Is Social Comparison Bias? (In Simple Human Terms) Social Comparison Bias refers to the natural tendency of humans to: Measure their success against others Evaluate worth through relative position Feel satisfied or dissatisfied based on comparison, not absolute condition People rarely ask: “A...

Your Attitude Matters – Part 7 Self‑Defense: A Universal Human Fact Opening: Human Behaviour, Economics & a Mathematical Lens Classical economics assumes humans act rationally, while real life repeatedly proves otherwise. Behavioural economics steps in to explain this gap -  where instincts, fear, and survival override calculated choice. In mathematics, differentiation helps us observe a situation at a moment , while integration helps us understand the entire journey . Human attitude works the same way. A single reaction can destroy what long patience and effort have built. The Story In ancient traditions, the Swayamvar system was a respected and functional institution. It allowed a woman of marriageable age — often a princess — to choose her life partner based on courage, character, intelligence, or ritual challenges. Youth, elders, and social influencers participated, making it a collective yet dignified decision. In one such grand ceremony, a wealthy family announced a c...

Reflection 9: From the Unrequited Love Series Gratitude Beyond Outcome Not every story ends the way the heart hopes. But not every story ends empty. When expectations quietly dissolved, Something unexpected remained -  gratitude. Gratitude for moments that were innocent. For glances that carried more meaning than words. For a love that taught discipline instead of entitlement. Pawan realized that success in love is not always measured by togetherness. Sometimes it is measured by how gently we carry what didn’t stay. Gratitude replaced regret. And peace followed naturally. 📘 Inspired by the novel “Unrequited Love: Pawan and Babli’s Love Story” The complete emotional journey lives only within the novel.

When the Sun Becomes a Teacher Lessons from Makar Sankranti 🌞 Opening  Not every festival is just a celebration. Some are classrooms without walls. Makar Sankranti is one such rare occasion where the Sun itself becomes a teacher - quietly explaining astronomy, patiently narrating agricultural cycles, and gently reminding us of cultural wisdom refined over centuries. Observed every year on 14th January , Makar Sankranti marks the Sun’s transition into Capricorn (Makar) and the beginning of   Uttarayan - the Sun’s northward journey. Unlike most Indian festivals based on the Moon, this one follows the Solar Calendar , making it scientifically precise and educationally powerful. At Mathivation HUB , this festival is not just celebrated - it is understood . 🌍 Makar Sankranti Through an Educational Lens 🔭 1. Astronomy: Learning from the Sky Makar Sankranti introduces students to real science, not memorised facts. It marks the Sun’s apparent northward movement (Utt...

Reflection 8: From the Unrequited Love Series Respecting What Was Never Yours Loving Babli never gave Pawan ownership. It gave him responsibility. Responsibility to respect her boundaries. Responsibility to protect her image. Responsibility to step back when stepping forward could harm more than help. Desire wanted closeness. Values demanded restraint. This conflict taught him a rare lesson: love does not entitle -  it obliges. By respecting what was never his, He did not diminish his emotion. He elevated his character. Some loves are not meant to be claimed. They are meant to be handled with care. 📘 Inspired by the novel “ Unrequited Love: Pawan and Babli’s Love Story” The complete emotional journey lives only within the novel.
