ABOUT THE TOPIC:

If you let people in on your family matters, you feel like you are exposing your whole self to them. You are afraid that your image might come crashing down and there will be nothing to prop you up in society. This is social ego. Because of our social ego, we are all the time so self-conscious also. We are self-conscious because we think that people are looking and talking about us all the time. Be very clear: When you are self-conscious, you are very egoistic. You think that you are a big entity and that everyone’s eyes are on you all the time. People actually have better things to do

GAME OF THE DAY

Nithyananda Paramashivam

GAME OF THE DAY:

BLOW THE MAN DOWN

Divide everyone into two teams, each team lines up a distance away from their respective pole. Two helpers hold the poles about 5m away from the team. Just like a relay race, each player runs to their pole, where they are blindfolded. They then have to hold the pole in place and circle it 10 times, then walk back to their team still blindfolded. The team has to verbally guide their teammate back. When they get back, their blindfold is removed and the next team member takes turn. The team to finish first wins.

Conclusion : Conclude the topic by reiterating the important details.
