Since, JMA students had mostly seen their principal Mrs Booma Natarajan as a chemistry teacher; they had a pleasant surprise to see her donning the role of a psychologist to give the talk as she holds an additional Masters in Child Care and Education. The highlights of the talk included various strategies such as Don’t have too much on your plate, Do not try and study everything in a single day, Mix and match, Introspect, Flexible yet focused, What and when, Time for the net, Beyond studies, Solve Model Papers, Do a Marathon – Defeat Yourself, Stick with your Prescribed Text Book, Take a break, Exercise and Meditate.

Mrs Booma Natarajan also explained the options available for a student to pursue beyond class 10 and 12 and gave a clarion call from Swami Vivekananda quote “All power is within you; you can do anything and everything. Believe in that, do not believe that you are weak; Stand up and express the divinity within you. Therefore Arise, awake, and stop not till the goal is reached.” The talk concluded with the last shloka of Bhagavad Gita “yatra yogeśhvaraḥ kṛiṣhṇo yatra pārtho dhanurdharaḥ, tatra śhrīr vijayo bhūtir dhruvā nītir matir mama” which in essence means Krishna who represents knowledge and Arjun who represents Skills must go together to achieve victory.
