  6. ONE QUESTION TO ALL MARSHALS.......

    The question is regarding this topic:
    "Gurus of yesterday,Teachers of today/ Yester Year Teachers vs Present Day teachers/...."

    A large number of blog-a-tonics are quite young and are exposed to only "Teachers of Today"......NOT to "YesterYear teachers"...so...how are they gonna write???????????????

  7. @ Indian Pundit: We can know about the yesteryear teachers from the anecdotes told by our parents and grandparents. And also, in the last ten years teachers have also changed their mindsets completely.

    So it can help!

    I am not a blog marshall though, but I guess you can count my theory!

  9. Hi Vipul and Pawan

    Firstly, i am NOT really complaining guys.i can write on this topic too.

    Its just that , i guess older bloggers will start with an advantage "of experience".Just my two cents.

    Cheers man for this wonderful initiative called Blog-a-ton. Shows your innovative mind.
