Hello readers! In this blog, I am going to write down about whatever I have learned from this workshop, based on thinking skill. This blog is inspired by Dr. Dilip sir barad.
On 13th - 14th August, The Department of English organized two day's workshop on thinking skill by professor Milan pandya.
Brief Introduction of Mr. Milan sir pandya :-
Milan sir pandya is a teacher , trainer, and educator in the field of thinking skills. With more than 12 years of teaching experience he has authored 02 books and presented a number of research papers in national and international Conferences and journals. 
The workshop started on 13th August - on the day of saturday. While introducing Mr. Milan sir pandya , Dr Dilip sir barad warmly welcomed him and gave brief information about Milan sir's works and his great achievements. 
While Dilip sir was talking about asking questions to Milan sir, during the workshop. Sir added one line that :
" A stupidest question can bring the smartest answer. "
As sir always told us that " Keep on asking questions. " If you will simply seat down and listens everything it's not going to work. But, asking questions will help you a lot . So, it helped us a lot in the entire workshop. 
On the very first day of our workshop, Milan sir started the session by asking ine question that
What do you mean by the word critical thinking? Or what is your understanding on critical thinking?
As sir talked about two important parts of thinking.
1.creative thinking.
2.critical thinking.
According to sir , Thinking is a part of our life. We human beings have a great advantage or benefit to think. We can apply our own minds. and thinking about every little aspects. While we are thinking, it is very important " To create a spark. " But as we all know that human beings are replaced by machine. and in our present time, we gave very less importance to thinking skill.
"Thinking skill is a life skills."
We should never accept the things as it is presented or shown to us. But, we need to doubt. When we doubt only and only than we can find the roots of what is right and what is wrong. All this things helped us a lot in order to improve our thinking skills.
" It is our thinking that differentiate us from each other. "
We all think very differently. Every one has their own perspective and point of view. But, as we all know that it is only our thinking that differentiate us from each other. So, we can say that - "Thinking skill is a necessary. "
This picture clearly shows the importance of creative thinking that how it helps us in many ways. When we talked about thinking, it covers three major things.
1.Rational 2.Logical 3.Scientific.
Milan sir defined the term - thinking by saying that " Thinking about thinking in order to improve thinking. "
This definition of thinking given by Milan pandya sir, shows the importance of thrice thinking. Things are connected with each other. So, we always have to think from various angle.
" If something is true, what else has to be true with that. "
Milan sir pandya used this lines in his speech. and gave clear justification of thinking. It is very important for us to think on our own. Sir also told us that start with small situations. So, it will give us one kind of confidence.
" Words are like bullets. "
So we always have to think about everything from various kind of perspectives. Sir also talked about so many examples in this session.
1.A famous scene from Starplus T. V serial - yeh hai Mohabbatein. 
In this particular scene of this serial, we can find that a husband is helping his wife in folding sari. But, if we will observe the thing closely we came to know that there is fracture in female's hand still her makeup and hair style looks perfect. But, only while folding sari she wants her husband's help. So, we can find this silly thing. Others may not have find this thing silly. In fact they love this scene. But with our critical thinking we can observe this kind of things.
2. A Twitter post of the actor satish shah :
In this post, he said that " The very sane tiranga Dhwaj my mother had got during quit india movement in the year 1942. If we will analyze it, we came to know that we got freedom in 1947.and he is talking about 1942. At that time, we had our national flag but instead of Askok chakra we had Gandhiji's charkha. So if we are not at all aware about our history we will consider it as a truth.
We may find all this things very minor. But if we will analyze it or critically evaluate we came to know that what is actually true.
Milan sir also told us that there is a difference between possible Or
plausible.
Sir further talked about QAnon theory. It is an American political conspiracy theory and political movement. It originated in the American - far -right political sphere in the year 2017.
If we talked about conspiracy we can relate with Divya Bharti, sushant singh, and shridevi's murder mystery.and there are other examples of all this conspiracy things.
" Context is everything. "
" We all should think independently. "
Sir used all this quotations during his session. One way or the other way it tells us the importance of thinking. He added one more thing that:-
" The real education is to develop the ability to understand and comprehend the thing. "
Milan sir last presented one quote by Lao Tuz ( 600 BC).
" Your Teacher might be wrong. Learn to think for yourself. "
Sometimes, your teacher might be wrong. Or they can also make mistakes. If they are our teacher it doesn't mean that they are always right. We need to learn and think for ourselves.
I would like to say A very big thank you to Dilip sir barad and Milan sir for organizing this wonderful session for all of us. After attending this workshop, we can say that it gives proper shape to our leaning, and thinking.
We learned about so many things and it gave us a new way of our thinking.
Thank you for visiting..
