- The dream come true!!!
Leadership Village is going on…
Yesterday we got nice chance to intercat with Ms.Murial the French lady.
really living library is a great thought where we can interact very freely with others,it will make a friendly mood with everyone.library on wheels is a great experience for all of us.
we found Banasura sagar dam as our first living library on wheels.we went there about to 3′o clock.before going to banasura ms.murial has inaugrated the leadership village office in anne frank.
we got our bus at 3′o clock it self.every body is in a picinic mode.we have our voice recorder with us to interviwe ms.murial.she was very happy with us in the journey.we got many time to spent with her.we never felt any distance between us through the journey,and we are in a friendly mode.
we got many things about french culture and also about her viewes on indian culture.murial is a french citizen ,and her parents are from pondicheri in tamilnadu.she was very interesting to talk with us.now we are more femilier with france and french culture.
the govt.rules and regulations are very strict at france.public smoking is prhibited at there,speed controller is must for all vehicles and all places must be cleaned etc.if anyone tried to do anything against the rules,they will be punished like,they have to pay big amount as fines and they may be caught by the police.
the interesting thing is that there is only 15 hours for study in a week in educational centres.the teachers are not friendly to students at there,and they will be always very strict.in france there are so many chances to encourage reading habbits in syudents.
most of the people are using english instead of french.ther are so many foiegn students studiying at there.
in france they depends wheat food items mainly,so they are doing wheat farming.they are getting rice food also, but they will not depends much on rice foods.
the main dress which the are following is jeans and top.the people are not much interested in ornaments.
like kerala the education not compulsary at there,those who interested in college education can study.
the interesting thing in france is about their marriege .there is no problem on age diffrence,religion,cast or anything.there will not be a great marriege function,they will invite only thier close relatives.they need only registraton at there.
there some diffrence in their pronuonciation also.they are very free in their behaviour.they will become very friendly.
she included that most of the people are interesed in well jobs only and we can’t see much farmers at there.they will not have time to spent with their outer world.
at there all people are living in seperate resident colonies.murial is living in pondichery housing colony,and all the people are from tamilnadu at there.even they are from same country there is no good relation between them.
the common festival that everyone celebrates in france is x-mas.at that time there is no diffrence between peoples.everybody is seeing it same and celebrates.the celebration will be in 2 days.she included all her memories likex-mas carol,x-mas tree,santha,and many things.
there are so many tourist spots in france,and many of them she has alredy visited those places.
now we are very femilier with france. really we had nice time with ms.murial in yesterday.we got many information about france.
actually this is only because of library on wheels. we decided to make kuruva and banasura as living library training centre.
library on wheels is very interesting,informative and also useful.
we are very happy in here.
we are enjoying our life in here.
