Notes by Aarya Mishra

We did a Q & A today. But instead of us asking and Shankarji answering, we did it opposite. Shankarji would ask questions, and we would answer.
Shankarji – What do you do to stay happy when you are a bit angry or frustrated?

Students – Drawing to calm you down, Reading, playing with friends, and Singing or Dancing.

Shankarji – What is the most important value of a parent?

Students – Patience, Discipline, Helpful, and Being Open-Minded

Shankarji – Should your parents try to stop you from doing things, or should you do it and learn from your own mistakes?

Students – Your parents should stop you if it is dangerous, but if it isn’t serious, then you can learn from your own mistakes.

Shankarji – What are things you wished you learnt in Happy Hour, but did not learn?

Students – How to get rid of greed, How to avoid anger and ego, and How to destroy Laziness
