Man's searching for meaning - Part 1

Amazing book by Dr. Viktor Frankl. A doctor by profession and has pen down his Nazi experience in a simple way.
Reading Part 1 and was visualing Nazi camp and people inside experience trauma. The first thought came to my mind (being a vegiterian) is about Chicken which are dumbed in shops every morning for food.

Just like Chicken, human beings are controlled in wired fence and then send to final destination - death. The only difference is Chicken don't have to work. However chicken need to look healthy to be transported very much like Prisoners in Nazi camp daily shave to show they are fit for work and healthy.

Will add more by next week.

Stanley Ka Daba

A must movie for kids above 5+ and Parents/Teacher.

Take aways:

1) Don't look for sympathy.  [A boy who was orphan and raised by his unlce, never reveals to his friends that he is orphan and cannot bring tiffin / lunch in school. He proudly defend in smart way and always praise his mom. ]
2) Don't stick to problem, find solution. [A boy was punished and banned from school by teacher till he brings tiffin/lunch from home. He discussed with his working parter, Yes boy works in his uncle hotel after school and found solution]
3) Be Happy and excel in everything you do.  [ A boy did a wonderful project - Light house with light glowing as fish swim in small plater. ]
4) De-learning [ A science teacher could not understand the beauty of this project and call rubbish. A Hindi teacher , deprived by food always look for food from others. A direct hit to our education system.]
5) Be Open [ A boy's friend complaind about teacher to his peer teacher and later all bunch of students went to principal and told entire tiffin ban episode]

and last but not least:
