Bio – sketch of Rabindranath
Tagore
{English}
Rabindranath was born on 7 May 1861 Calcutta. His father
Debendranath Tagore was a leading light in the Brahmo
Samaj – a reforming Hindu organisation which
sought to promote a monotheistic interpretation of the
Upanishads and move away from the rigidity of Hindu
Orthodoxy which they felt was holding back India.
Debendranath Tagore also encouraged his family to learn
English.
Rabindranath began writing from an early age and
impressed with his free-flowing style and spontaneous
compositions. He mostly rejected formal schooling; he
3 | P a g e

spent much time being taught at home. In 1878 he
travelled to England and sought to study law at University
College, London, but he left before finishing the degree.
After returning to India, in 1901, Tagore moved to
Shantiniketan to found an ashram which became his focal
point for writing and his view on schooling. He chose the
name for the ashram – Shantiniketan meaning ‘Abode of
Peace.’
1. Friendship with Gandhi
Tagore was firm friends with Gandhi and admired him very
much. But, despite this friendship, he could be critical of
his views. For example, he disagreed with Gandhi’s views
on Swaraj protests and upbraided Gandhi when Gandhi
claimed an earthquake was ‘divine retribution for the
mistreatment of Dalits in India.’ Yet despite the frequent
divergence of opinions, they could admire each other.
When Gandhi went on a fast unto death, it was Tagore who
was able to persuade Gandhi to give up his fast and look

after his health
2. Nobel Prize for Literature 1913
In 1913, Tagore was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature
for his work ‘Gitanjali‘ This made his writings
internationally known and his fame spread throughout the
world.
This gave Tagore the opportunity to travel extensively
giving lectures and recitals in many different countries. He
also became acquainted with many of the leading cultural
contemporaries of the day; this included
W.B.Yeats, George Bernard Shaw, Romain Rolland, Robert
Frost and Albert Einstein.
5 | P a g e

Tagore had a great love for nature and many of his poems
invoke the simple beauties of the natural world. For
Tagore, his religion could be found in the wonders and
mysteries of nature – as much as in temples and sacred
books.
Tagore was a prolific composer of music. He composed
over 2,000 songs which have been popularised and sung
widely across Bengal. Like his literature, he broke away
from classical constraints to offer a great emotive and
spiritual appeal. Tagore is unique for being the official
composer for the national anthem of two countries –
India’s Jana Gana Mana and Bangladesh’s Amar Shonar
Bangla.
Tagore was an opponent of British imperialism, though he
also felt Indians had a duty to improve their selfeducation;
he said that British rule was partly due to the
state India had fallen into. In particular, he was very
denigrating about India’s obsession with caste.
In 1919, Tagore returned his knighthood in protest at the
Jallianwala Bagh Massacre, in which many peaceful Indian
protesters were killed.
Tagore was a polymath, and towards the end of his life he
took up art and also pursued an interest in science. Tagore
was also very much an internationalist, criticising
nationalism, though also writing songs and articles in
support of the general principle of the Indian
independence movement.
3. Tagore view on Religion
Tagore had mixed views on religion. He was brought up in
a traditional Hindu family and taught to pray and meditate
from an early age. He remembers the peace of mind he
developed from chanting the Gayatri Mantra, but at the
6 | P a g e

same time was detached from the more formalistic aspects
of religion. He tended to see religion as not scriptures and
places of worship but the life we lead. As he explained:
“My religion is my life – it is growing with my growth – it
has never been grafted on me from outside.”
He was keen to avoid any fanaticism and saw the strength
of his own Hindu religion as its ability to see more than
one path to the goal. His life-long aspiration was to see a
harmony of religions flourish in India – not from mere
tolerance but an appreciation of the different merits other
religions had.
However, he was also critical of the Hindu caste system.
Tagore’s poetry frequently hint at a mystical view of the
world.
4. Death
Tagore died on 7 th August 1941, after a long and painful
illness, aged 80.
He died in his family home.

Ethics and Values one can adapt from Rabindranath
Tagore
According to Rabindranath Tagore spiritual and moral
values build the character of a man. He gives maximum
importance to man and says that man has the entire
strength to become God. His perception is that God is
spiritually and morally perfect.
Everything comes to us that belongs to us if we
create the capacity to receive it

Role of BMI { Body Mass Index } in
personality development
(Maths)
• What is BMI
BMI stands for BODY MASS INDEX. This is a numerical
value of your weight relation to your height. A BMI
between 18.5 kg/m^2 to 25 kg/m^2. BMI below 18.5
kg/m^2 is considered as underweight and BMI above
25 kg/m^2 is considered over weight.
• Personality Development
It is the development of organised pattern of
behaviour and attitude that makes a person
distinctive. It occurs by the ongoing interactions of
temperament, characters And environment.
• Significance of BMI
1. BMI of a person helps him or her to know
whether he Or she is Overweight, underweight
Or Normal.
2. It also helps the person to know that where he
/ she is lacking due to which BMI is less.
3. It helps individual to take a significant step in
order to enhance his or her personality

How Nutrition affects personality
development !?
First of all let us ask ourselves, what is personality?
Primarily the way we think and behave and this would
include our intelligence and emotional quotients. A good
body and a good mind often go together. The development
of the brain in the human being begins during the third
week of pregnancy and goes on to develop to 90 percent of
its adult volume by age 6.
Apart from the environmental inputs which have lasting
effects on a person’s personality, good nutrition, balanced
in both macro and micro nutrients is of vital importance.
When we talk about the cognitive abilities of a person, we
refer to the attention, memory, thinking, learning and
perception of that person. All of these in the years to
come, go on to shape the skills and the general abilities of
a person and have a direct relationship with a person’s
achievements, including access to better literacy, lifestyle,
self esteem and self control.
As we go on to grow through our lives, the food we eat; in
other words nutrition, among other factors, go on to play
an important role in our personality.
Broadly speaking a protein rich diet helps build muscles and
stamina and a diet rich in carbohydrates creates a calming
effect. In addition and equally important are the micro
nutrients in our diet. Based on several studies it has been
12 | P a g e

established we need 0.8 grams of protein per day per kilo
of body weight if we have an average
lifestyle. Carbohydrates in addition to having a calming
effect, provide energy and the usual recommended for
healthy eating, is 225 to 325 grams per day, again for the
average person. The intake of both should be higher if one
is involved in intensive manual or mental work since we
burn more calories or less depending upon our style of
living. Yes, despite the bad name they have earned
carbohydrates are an essential part of nutrition. During
digestion, sugars and starches are broken down into
simple sugars and they then find their way into the
bloodstream and we know them as blood sugars. From
there the glucose enters our body’s cells with the help of
insulin. So whether it’s exercise or something as simple as
moving the hand or even breathing, it provides the energy
for all the activities we do. Too much of it and it is
converted to fat. At the same time, not all carbohydrates
are equal. It’s always recommended that those having a
sedentary lifestyle choose carbohydrates that are rich in
dietary fiber.
13 | P a g e

Studies on micro nutrients have yielded good results and
the importance of these on human behavior or personality
must be underlined, as well.
Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine, is well known.
He talked about the healing power of food and further
went on to say “Let food be your medicine and your
medicine be your food”.
Let us here take some of the foods and their major micro
nutrients and examine the impact on our behavior or
personality.
Lack of, Vitamin B1 also known as Thiamine, has a potent
reaction on our moods. Fish, pork, sunflower seeds, nuts,
asparagus, soya beans and most of the regular humble
beans are a rich source of this essential micronutrient.
14 | P a g e

Many people across the world suffer from deficiency of
Iron. The result is a depressive feeling and laziness. My
grandmother used to insist I eat liver, something most of
us hate and she had a good reason. Liver is one of the
richest sources of Iron. Some of the other good sources
are broccoli, seafood, greens, nuts and meat.
Although not common, Folic acid deficiency is associated
with depression and normal brain function. Some of the
foods rich in this nutrient are dark leafy greens, liver,
eggs, kidneys, nuts, sprouts and oranges.
Let us also examine some of the other foods containing
important nutrients and their effect on us.
Ae have all heard about the benefits of Serotonin. While a
diet rich in protein is good for muscle building and
stamina, it inhibits the circulation of Serotonin in the
brain. Increased levels of Serotonin are linked to mood
elevation, it helps regulate sleep so one does not get
cranky due to sleep deprivation, it helps regulate appetite,
helps during premenstrual trauma and helps keep control
on impulsive behavior. Serotonin is produced from
tryptophan contained in foods such as clams, octopus,
snails, banana pineapple, plums, nuts, milk, turkey and
eggs. A diet rich in carbohydrates helps towards synthesis
of Serotonin into the blood stream. You may have read
about a carbohydrate rich diet being recommended
to relieve depression. This is not carbohydrates per se but
also the help they offer towards absorption of Serotonin,
apart from being energy giving
15 | P a g e

Caffine that we consume in the form of coffee has
stimulant effects and increases alertness and thus the time
we take to react to situations. Though too much of it is not
recommended since too much coffee can make a person
nervous and anxious.
Omega 3 mostly contained in sea foods, fish and
vegetarian foods such as zucchini has a direct impact on
moods and depression if the levels fall too low, studies
have gone on to prove
Chocolate is a powerful mood enhancer due to its taste and
psychoactive chemicals such as Anandamines. There’s
surely no need to overdo it and feel guilty. Just a cube of
dark chocolate goes some way in creating a feeling of
goodness.
Foods also have a psychological impact. For example some
people are affected by even decaffeinated coffee and feel
more alert and there are others who will ruin their sleep if
they have a cup of coffee after a certain time, just thinking
about it. The foods we ate as children during particularly
happy times bring back a feeling of happiness even when
we eat them as adults.
16 | P a g e

Some countries give a particular importance to eating
habits. On my research of France and Belgium, I found it
interesting that just before the movie begins in
auditoriums they show a slide or an animated film urging
people to eat at least five fruits and vegetables a day. Kids
are even taught at kindergarten level and it has always
been a pleasing experience when I watch the young
university students in these countries, there must be more
of course, buying their foods in the supermarkets with
care, and they usually include plenty of fruits and
vegetables, whole grain breads and seafood in their
trolleys and baskets.

Role of Society in Personality Development
The concept of personality refers to the profile of stable beliefs,
moods, and behaviors that differentiate among children (and adults)
who live in a particular society. The profiles that differentiate children
across cultures of different historical times will not be the same
because the most adaptive profiles vary with the values of the society
and the historical era. Society plays a huge role in molding teens’
personality development. It determines how they see other people,
their general outlook, and their ethics. You as parents can influence
all these things as well, but the things that will stick with the kids for
long haul are learned from the society. Now society comprises of a lot
of different things that include media, neighborhood, laws, and
school. Let’s briefly go through how these components influence the
mindset and behavior of teens, and shape them into the kind of
people that eventually grow up to become.
• The Impact of Media on Teens
Media has really expanded these days. Now it’s available in the form
of films, TV, video games, social networking platforms, radio, etc.
They all play a huge role in shaping up your teens. If the latter see
violence all over the news against people of one race, then they might
grow sympathetic towards them, or spiteful towards the oppressors.
However, if the same news channels start to show those same victims
as the bad people, then they will most likely develop a strong hatred
for every individual in that race. That’s how racism has managed to
stay around for so long. There’s a feeling of superiority in some
societies and it’s generated solely by the media. Teens form their
opinions based on what they see on the media, and their behavior is
guided by these opinions.
• The Effect of Crime in Society on Teens
The rate of crime and how law enforcement reacts to it also play an
important role in affecting the behavior and mindset of teens. If kids
find crime to be prevalent around them, then they may accept it as
something normal, and might even indulge in it eventually. However,
things can be entirely different if the situation of law enforcement is
better in the neighborhood. If teens see criminals getting punished for
their crimes, then they will know that walking down the wrong path

has its consequences, and thus refrain from making a similar choice.
Both of these scenarios are triggered by society, while you don’t have
a huge role to play in this.
• The Influence of School and Peers on Teens
Schools also play a huge role in shaping up the mindset and
character of teens. They meet all sorts of people there, and in many
cases it’s their friendships that determine how they turn out. Good,
caring, and civil friends will improve the overall behavior of the kids,
whereas bad company can ruin them. They can get addicted to drugs,
alcohol, and even get involved in petty crimes.
Just because society plays a huge role in shaping up the behavior,
mindset, and character of your teen doesn’t mean that you simply sit
idle. You have a responsibility to nurture the positive effect of society,
while discourage any negative impact. At the end of the day, what
kind of person your teen grows up to be depends just as much on
your parenting as it does on the society.

Digital Health and Wellness
{Computer}
❖ How to reduce eye strain caused by using digital
devices ?
1. Keep your distance. Position your device so there is sufficient
distance between your eyes and the screen.
• For computers, extend your arm while seated in front of the
computer monitor. The correct distance to be seated from the
screen occurs when you can comfortably place your palm flat
on the monitor, as though you were high-fiving the screen.
• For hand-held devices, hold the device just below eye level and
at a distance that still enables you to comfortably read the
screen.
2. Reduce glare. Adjust the brightness of your screen by checking
the device’s control setting. Consider changing your
background color from bright white to a cooler gray. Glare
20 | P a g e

reduction filters are also available and easily attach to
computer screens.
3. Clean your screen. A dust-free, smudge-free screen helps
reduce glare.
4. Dim surrounding lights. Reduce the amount of light competing
with your device’s screen. Dim inside lights, and when
outdoors, try to avoid competing with direct sunlight while
using your digital device. Doing so will help reduce glare and
eye strain.
5. Adjust your screen. Regardless of what type of device you’re
using, digital screens should always be directly in front of your
face and slightly below eye level.
6. Increase text size. Try increasing text size to help better define
screen content and to make reading more comfortable for your
eyes.
7. Wear computer glasses. Computer glasses are an increasingly
popular solution for reducing both computer eye strain and the
potentially damaging effects that increased digital use can
have on vision. They help the eye adjust to intermediatedistance
objects, such as computer screens, are available in all
shapes and sizes and can be made with or without a
prescription. They look like regular glasses but the difference is
in the lens. Depending on your visual needs, some computer
glasses have a modified lens power that relaxes the eye while
providing a large field of view, while other computer glasses
feature an anti-reflective coating that helps combat eye strain
by softening the glare from harsh indoor and outdoor lighting
and improving contrast. Some computer glasses even feature
lenses that selectively absorb harmful blue light, preventing it
from entering the cornea and causing eye damage. Computer
glasses can include all three of these features or only the
feature or features that your eyes need.
21 | P a g e

8. Blink more often. Staring at a digital screen can reduce how
often you blink, causing eyes to become dry. Remind yourself
to blink more often, which also helps the eyes refocus.
9. Take a 20-20-20 break. Every 20 minutes, take a 20-second
break and look at something 20 feet away. Even short breaks
make a huge difference.
22 | P a g e

❖ How to reduce backache caused by using digital
devices ?
1. Bring the device to eye level. This will minimize the bend in your
neck and maintain optimal spine posture;
2. Use the hands-free function during long conversations;
3. Keep your messages short on mobile devices and use a computer
for longer messages;
4. Take frequent micro-breaks to move/stretch your neck and back.
Limit your device use to 20-minute sessions. Consider making a
phone call rather than spending a long time texting;
5. Download an app to dim the blue light on your screens;
6. When possible, try to avoid bringing your smartphone to the
bedroom. This will eliminate any temptation to pick the device up
when you are trying to fall asleep.
23 | P a g e

❖ How to reduce Carpal Tunnel Syndrome caused by
using digital devices?
1. Keep wrists flat. Maintaining the wrist in a straight position can
reduce stress on the median nerve, White said.
2. Pay attention to form and posture. Loosen up tight grips on
gaming devices and avoid applying too much force when
typing. Avoid keeping the thumb and fingers in a flexed
position for long periods of time. This advice is especially
important when using only a single hand on a device, White
said.
3. Take frequent breaks. Build in regular rest periods to gently
stretch out your hands (and the rest of your body) and give
them a break from constant activity, White said. He
recommended taking a 5-minute break for every 30 minutes of
device use.
