Educon 2013

Educon 2013 was a GERA (Global Education Research Association) Conference held in neighboring country on 2^nd and 3^rd Sep. I, Pahadi, Maag and Anna had an opportunity to attend it. Allow me to introduce these four characters of our journey to Nepal. Let us start from me- most of you know me and rest can pull out my profile from the blog. Pahadi is a research scholar from Jammu. Maag is a professor in a college in Indore and last but not the least Anna from Kerala. In short I had friends from Kashmir to Kanyakumari traversing Madhya Pradesh. All 4 were like tires of a car, if anyone of us was not there our trip would not be called complete. There is a lot more to tell about fantastic 4, but Ill get back to them in coming posts. We were preparing ourselves for the Conf. from last year, at that time; it was just a thought which all of us made real through mutual understanding. Our mentors informed us about the conference that it is going to be organized in Nepal and we should attend it. One I heard about going to another country, I thought, I can do it, if conditions favor me. 

When we planned to visit there, we had a setback when we were forced to book the rooms at the venue of Conf which were too costly. Even we thought of cancelling once, but our mentors (organizers) allowed us to stay in hotel of our choice and hence again we made our mind to attend it. I am thankful to them about this arrangement, not because we saved some money but because of this trip, we learned a lot, we actually had a great time. Now we made our mind and decided to visit, but again Anna backed and tried to cancel his trip, I think that this action of Anna was due to a fear which occurs when someone is about to accomplish something which they tried to achieve from long time. I don’t know, maybe I am wrong, but that’s what I felt. Pahadi was determined about the plan, so she called Anna and made him to come there. Finally this time we all prepared ourselves to feel the essence of unconditional Nepal. Tickets and registrations were made in advance only. Hotel was also selected, not booked, but confirmed.
