A “Personality Class” was conducted by the Department of Physics on 13th February, 2023 at 12:00 PM in offline mode for the undergraduate Semester 4 students. Dr. Amrita , Assistant Professor, Department of Physics addressed the students present and introduced the theme of this personality class and its value in our life. The program continued with a video which was shown to the students. It was about a “Perspective of a differently abled person and a able bodied beggar”. Through the video the students learnt that it all depends on how we look at things and not on how things are in themselves. Just like in the video was showed a differently abled person who works hard for his livelihood. He was also a kind person who helped others. And on the other side there was a able bodied beggar who begged every passer by. This reflected the perspective of both the persons. We can change our life by changing our thoughts. Everyone should have positive approach towards life and work for our livelihood. We must be grateful for what we have because someone needs that.

The class concluded by discussion and interaction with the students about what they learnt and how they can change way of thinking.

An online “Personality Class” was conducted by the Department of Physics, on 27th January, 2023 at 4:30 PM for the undergraduate Semester- 4 students of Physics Department. Dr. Amrita, Assistant Professor, Department of Physics addressed the students present and introduced the theme of the personality class and its importance in the present times. Thereafter, the program continued with a video which was played online by Dr. Amrita . At last, there was a question-answer session in which the students actively participated.
In today’s world which is full of rush and competition, people sometimes forget their moral values. It cannot be denied that today people are acknowledged by their success but on the other hand they they are also appreciated by the courtesy they give.

From the video, it was clearly visible how miserably the lady used to treat her father-in-law. She forgot that whatever her husband was, all due to her Father-in-law. In our society, it is transparent how the daughters-in -law treat their in-laws . This is really heart-breaking. An ideal woman is one who holds her family and share a good bond with them. She should always treat her in-laws with same love and care that she gives to her own parents. One should always remember that whatever we are today is all because of our parents and should give love and respect to them. Parents are the guardian angels for all of us and they need love and care.
