Building strong foundations for successful lives...

SAT KIRAN BUZZ...

Empowerment... ...the road ahead

Dear Readers,

CSKM over the years has been opening the doors of discovering the joys of learning for every child whether a low achiever or a high achiever. The founder chairman of CSKM Public School, Col P S Satsangi made this possible through his constructive and innovative approach of education. A dynamic educationist, visionary and thinker he institutionalized the "Busy Bee" concept of work being the greatest pleasure in life.

He opened the doors to all, the poor and needy, the special needs child, the gifted child and made them into skilled dreamers and achievers, believing in each one of them.

The student today is an individual and a real person with feelings of self-respect, sensitivity, responsibility and compassion. We need to recognize, appreciate, applaud and foster the fine blend of sensibilities in a child – and thus this Charisma is to be viewed as a launch pad for the child's creative urges to blossom naturally. As the saying goes, a mind like a parachute works best when opened. This initiative is to set the budding minds free, allowing them to roam free in the realm of imagination and experience to create a world of beauty.

Under the dynamic leadership of the Principal Dr (Mrs) S S Jaiman CSKM is imparting quality education to the students so that they may develop values, life skills, right attitude in addition to humane and conventional cognitive abilities. The whole school is charged with a buoyant spirit to scale greater heights as the foremost residential and day boarding public school in the country and abroad. CSKM attains its eminence through the success and achievement of its students.

Working for the magazine has indeed been a rich experience for the entire editorial team. The magazine also espouses the School spirit which is built up through the collective actions, thoughts and aspirations of the whole school fraternity; specially the students of the school in which "Every Child is a Winner". This magazine is a colourful bouquet of literary contribution of budding writers and artists. We have tried our best to reflect the efforts and achievements of staff and students in academics, sports and co-curricular activities and invaluable contribution of our dear parents.

Our thanks to the editorial board, students and teachers who have been of immense help in breathing life into these pages. Our profound indebtedness to the Principal for her valuable support and guidance at every step which goes a long way in making the school an enjoyable arena.

Happy reading!!!

Chairman’s MessageCSKM school has always strived to educate the students to value and respect their heritage and culture, and bring it out into the global realm. We are fortunate that we are born into this incredible country India that believes in the spirit of oneness. The need of the hour as you and I have recently felt is to develop social responsibility and community spirit in the society. At CSKM the committed academic and non academic staff have been instrumental in preparing individuals from multicultural and multilingual background into one community ‘CHARISMAS’. The family environment in the school encourages a sense of responsibility towards each other. I wish all the students, staff and parents all the best and request for their support in our quest towards moulding individuals into wonderful human beings and world citizens.

God Bless CSKM.....

Vidya implies “right knowledge” or clarity. It develops man’s faculty, especially his mind so that he may be able to enjoy the contemplation of supreme truth, goodness and beauty (satyam, shivam, sundaram) the ingredients of perfect bliss (anand). The opposite of vidya is avidya that is, ignorance or misinformation.

To attain knowledge, we need to educate ourselves. “By education, I mean an all round drawing out of the best in the child and man, body, mind and spirit,” said Mahatma Gandhi. Swami Vivekananda wrote, “Education is the manifestation of the divine perfection already existing in man.” For Socrates, education meant, “bringing out of the ideas of universal validity which are latent in the mindset of every man”. A quick review of thoughts on education of various philosopher kings tells us that the purpose of education is to draw out man’s inner potentials.

Col Satsangi’s Kiran Memorial Public School has been the fertile ground for my action research and innovation of methods for effective development of potentially Gifted Children. Over the last two decades, the meaning of giftedness has evolved from being an inherent global ability to potential giftedness as an expertise in the developmental stage. A further dimension has been added to it by Howard Gardner’s ‘Theory of Multiple Intelligences’. The latest thought employs the idea that each individual possesses his/her own gift. This is to be drawn out in a supportive environment, full of opportunities for all kinds of children.

Children possess above normal capacity which exceeds that which one looks for in routine expectations. As teachers we need to learn how to harness this potential. Potentially gifted children are well equipped but we may not always have the skills to realize their potential. In many cases the parents and teachers do not even realize various capacities their gifted children may possess. Most of these children function well within the basic expectations in a classroom; however every thing that they can accomplish remains undiscovered.

The role of an awakened school/teacher is to assist and allow each child to discover their hidden or untapped potential, to realize their own unique potentials optimally.

Ability is evenly distributed in the population while achievement is not. Therefore, an inclusive approach is suggested to schools and teachers so that all the children are provided means to understand their own potentials and the freedom to discover and explore all possibilities. To fulfill this aspiration a school’s approach has to be flexible and responsive to the individual need of each child. The school should offer a strategy encompassing various situations, methods and interventions to cater to the needs of all kinds of learners.

Every school should look at identifying and nurturing a growing pool of gifted and talented students. Provision for them is to be made in terms of their potentials and not the past achievements. Factors that negatively or positively affect achievement of students from culturally, academically, socially different backgrounds as compared to those from more fortunate backgrounds, need to be considered.

To understand this, one has to understand that giftedness is multi dimensional, contextually and culturally sensitive, manifest in multiple ways, more amenable to assessment than identification, needs emphasis on continuous and long term assessment, is based on a philosophy of inclusiveness, is a prescriptive philosophy, requires collaborative partnerships, needs constant development of educators, parents and family and a strong commitment to reform education.

This helps to convert underachieving learners to discover and realize their gifts. Children are nurtured to develop the ability to solve a problem or create things that are valued by a culture. Situations that use their task commitment, creativity, practical and analytical thinking to solve actual or simulated real world problems are helpful in developing their achievement.

Principal’s Message“Sa Vidya ya vimuktaye” meaning ‘That which is true knowledge, liberates’.

To an inexperienced observer, overachievers or bright children may seem gifted, however the questioning, involvement, perfection, information, manipulation, creative abstractions and ethics are far more intense in the gifted. It may sometimes raise problems for the teacher in the class room; therefore most educators find it difficult to encourage the gifted. Such children get bored in the normal classroom and need enrichment to discover and hone their giftedness.

Jaiman convening the interaction of Mr. Vineet Joshi IAS, Chairman, CBSE with the members of the media at the Annual Conference of Forum of Public School held at India International Centre, New Delhi. The keynote address was delivered by Mr. Vineet Joshi IAS on the topic Learning for Life: Changing Education Paradigms. Other eminent speakers included Ms. Nalini Singh, Prof. M.M. Pant, Mr. Steven Rudolf. Dr. S. S. Jaiman chaired the session conducted by Mr. Steven Rudolf on the topic Deeksha Guru: The Mentor

The Principal Dr. (Mrs.) S S Jaiman

Dr. Jaiman is the guiding light of the school. A brilliant scholar all through her academic career, she received her doctorate from the prestigious IIT, Delhi, on ‘Dimensions of Giftedness, which has also been published in the form of a book.

As the Director, Institute for Gifted Children, she has been instrumental in motivating and organizing national and international seminars.

A problem solver, a mentor, a guide, a friend and philosopher and above all a mother figure speaks of her versatility.

Plato defines, “Education as the capacity to feel pleasure and pain at the right moment. It develops in the body and in the soul of the pupil all beauty and all the perfection which he is capable of.” The ultimate aim of education is to pave the way for each individual to become an exemplary human being, a leader in his/her own right, one who respects every human being and works towards a world of peace, harmony and happiness for all.

CHARACTER – Ultimate Self Reflections

A man’s character is everything. The foundations of building a character is built on the impressions one gathers. If good impressions prevail the character becomes good and vice versa. It is always said that your actions reflect your thoughts. If a man thinks bad it will subconsciously reflect in his thought and work. A man is a tool in the hands of impressions that he assimilates thereby creating the strong motive for evil action. If a man’s thoughts are good it will result in good work thereby inspiring and motivating him to do good.

In the Vedas, it is said that the ultimate goal of mankind is acquisition of knowledge. It is the only thing to strive for, whereas all other material things including pleasure and happiness come to an end. The cause of all worries and miseries in the world is that men foolishly think of pleasure to be the ideal to long for. As pleasure and pain pass before a man’s soul they have upon it different pictures, and the result of these combined impressions creates “character”. Good and evil have an equal share in moulding character and in some cases:

“MISERY IS A GREATER TEACHER THAN HAPPINESS”The example of this is right in front of our eyes. While going though the lives of great men, it is found that it was misery that taught more than happiness. It was poverty that taught more than wealth, it was a blow that brought out the inner fire more than praise. Everything we do, physical or mental, is called ‘karma’ and it leaves its marks on us. Every task consists of small and minute parts.

All the actions that we see in the world, the movements in society, all the work that we have around us are simply the display of thought, the manifestation of the will of man. All this is determined by karma (work). No one can achieve anything unless he earns it. When we ponder over the achievements of Jesus Christ, Buddha or Abraham Lincoln, we come across their great willpower - powerful enough to overturn the world. Such a gigantic will power as of Christ or Buddha could not be obtained in one life. It was not the case of hereditary transmission. It was only the accumulation of power which must have been there through ages and ages, continually growing until it spread in the society. So the karma ‘decides’ what we deserve and what we can assimilate. What we are now has been

the result of our own past action. It is pertinent that whatever we wish to be in future can be produced by our present action, so we have to know how to act. The Gita says that doing work with cleverness and scientifically; by knowing how to work, one can obtain greatest results. All work is simply to bring out the power of the mind which is already there, to wake up the soul. Most of the people in today’s world work for a motive, some work for fame, some work for money, some work for power, some work so that they leave a name. But there are some people who work for work’s sake and don’t care about name and fame. They work because they believe in doing good deeds for a noble cause. The motive for name and fame seldom brings immediate result. They come to us when we are old and have almost done with life. Unselfishness is more paying but people don’t have the patience to practise it. Even the lowest form of work is not to be despised. Let man not work for selfish ends, for name and fame; but always for higher and higher motives. “To work we have the right, but not to the fruits thereof”.

We must work and find out the motives that drive us. While we work we must spare a thought to the motives and almost without exception the motives are selfish. But this selfishness can be gradually diminished by our persistence to do good. Our knowledge and power will reflect in our striving towards selfless work.

Character is EverythingMoney can give you bread but not hunger. Money can give you a bed but not sleep. Money can give you medicine but not health. Money can give you comfort but not peace. Money can give you power but not respect. Money can give you a degree but not knowledge. Money can give you security but not freedom.

It is character and character alone that can give you everything.

Dear students,

“It is not the brains that matter the most, but the minds that guide them in developing character, generous qualities and progressive ideas”

As you journey through the portals of this great institution, remember that education is a means to knowledge, self preservation and success. The days spent in school under an experienced mentor should equip you with the knowledge of social conduct, strength, character and self respect. The greatest gift the school life gives is knowledge of unconditional love and a set of values to change the world, where peace and harmony prevail.

Here are a few simple tips that will make your life more beautiful

• Take 10-30 minutes walk everyday and smile while you walk.

• Mediate for at least fifteen minutes everyday.• When you wake up in the morning, plan your day with

a purpose and remember God to be successful.

Message from Vice Principal

• Spend more time with people over the age of 60 and under the age of 6.

• Dream more while you are awake. • Try to make at least three people SMILE everyday .• Life is a school and you are here to learn and pass all

your tests. Problems are simply part of the curriculum that appear and fade away but the lessons you learn will last a life time.

• Life is not fair but still it may be good, better or best depending upon your efforts and attitude.

• Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.• Remember that you are blessed to be stressed.• Believe in 3Ds for success DREAM, DETERMINATION,

DESTINY• Live with the 3Es – ENERGY, ENTHUSIASM, EMPATHY • Believe in 3Fs – FAITH, FAMILY, FRIENDS.• Learn, Earn and Enjoy for a happy life.• Try to get 3 things in life - Grace of God, Blessings of

parents and elders and affection from people.

God Bless you all!!!

Who is a better teacher

The blooming flower which fills our lives with pleasing and refreshing fragrance, which leaves a deep impression on our soul, motivates us to fill others’ lives with refreshing fragrance.

The trees which are nesting and resting places for the birds, which themselves burn in hot sun and give shade to others influence us to help others in every sense of life.

The bonding of the ‘willow tree’ instructs us to be flexible. It teaches us mental flexibility.

The floating of the clouds teaches us their agility. Even the difficult phases of the storm instruct us to be strong in adversity.

The twinkle of the stars like diamonds in the sky influences us to do such great deeds by which we can shine in the world like stars.

The moon in the sky which brightens this dark world by providing light, motivates us to help others to get out of the darkness which fills their lives.

The clear stream of water which fills our soul with joys and coolness teaches us to share joy and happiness with others.

The mountain teaches us to be strong in life whatever may be the circumstances of life.

The rainbow is so much more than just the colors in the sky, it is a visual reminder of youth. The feelings of youth and purity are perhaps what carry us through many tragedies we experience in life.

NatureManorNature is the best teacher; it silently teaches us the real values of life in this world. The rising sun brings hope along with it and tells us that after every dark night there is a new starting, new day.

The colorful butterfly which keeps on flitting from flower to flower in search of nectar shows us that this life is full of opportunities, it’s we who have to make an effort to find the door behind which it rests.

The hard working bee motivates us to keep on giving life our best.

The rain which fills every soul with joy teaches us to be cheerful in every situation of life.

The river which keeps on flowing, which never stops even if any thing comes in the way tells us that failure is the path to success, we should keep on moving regardless of the circumstances.

The Earth teaches us to be patient and the sky teaches us to provide roof to everyone.

Thus we can say that: Nature is a living entity whose every single action teaches us many unknown facts of life.

Man can only gives us bookish and formal knowledge but nature guides us at every step of our life to get adjusted in different situations of life. Nature teaches us throughout our life. We can say that nature is the best teacher.

Man himself learns from nature so our first and primary teacher is nature.

A Letter from a MotherMeena, Mother of Maninder Singh – IX

CSKM is a school which I thought would be the best for my child and today I am proud that I was proved right.

My ward Maninder Singh started his journey in this prestigious institution as an average student. By average student, I mean a student who does his work which we tell him to do. After joining CSKM, over a period of time, he is a changed person. An individual who can now search for his goal and decide how to achieve success. The faculty and all the teachers helped him to move forward with confidence.

Hoping to get more support from CSKM and all the teachers so that my ward recognizes his goal in life with a clear vision. Improvement is what we are wanting and what we are constantly achieving in our ward at CSKM.

A heartfelt thanks to the CSKM family .

A school with a difference…….Mini Baiju, (Parent - Staff Nurse in AIIMS)

Our relationship with CSKM School began around three years ago.

At that time, we were actually in search of a school which offers day boarding facility, as both - my husband and I have a hectic duty schedule. Most of our friends were not convinced when we took the decision to admit Febin in CSKM School. Nonetheless, we stood by our decision. The very first day itself we felt the warmth of hospitality shown by the school authorities.

Most schools don’t pay special attention to children who are low in academic performance. What they would do is, during PTM, they put all the blame on to the parent’s shoulders. I have seen many parents in tears after the PTM. Here CSKM is really different. I have only seen parents satisfied after PTM. A special thanks to all the teachers!!!!

We love the concept of “NIL failure” and “Long Hours Day Boarding System. The school’s motto “Busy Bee Pleasure” in fact is a motivation for students to work hard and derive pleasure from it.

We love the approach of the teachers who are always happy to listen and help. If you have a problem, you can always contact them on their cell phones.

Thanks to the teachers for their patience, hard work and dedication. Our child was an average child, but slowly the teachers taught him the techniques of learning. Now we don’t need to force him to do his home work or to participate in school activities.

I take this opportunity to thank you all for your unconditional support.

Wishing all the CSKM students and teachers good luck!!!!!!

Japanese culture, a love of photography(to be cultivated as a hobby), new friends… whom I will cherish for life! I strove to capture the beauty of Japan in my camera – a near impossible task in the short duration of the 8-days in the beautiful Nippon.

Every one of us, without exception, on the day of reporting - 9th of June, was bright, cheerful and bubbling with excitement. We had Orientation sessions before leaving for Japan to equip us better for our stay in Japan. It was during the orientation that we were introduced to ‘Sarah Sohma San ’ who escorted our group .We had a formal sending-off party prior to boarding our much-awaited scheduled flight.

On our arrival in Japan on June 11, at the Narita Airport, we were received by the very warm problem coordinator – ‘Matsuda San ’. The day after arrival, there was a presentation on Japan by Mr. Hideo Kimura, Executive M.D., SIMA (Strategic International Management Associates), Tokyo. Kimura San explained to us that Japan lacks natural resources but makes up for the same by using their human resources to a great extent; thereby rendering Japan a stable and independent economy.A very informative trip to the Edo-Tokyo Museum followed. We were amazed to see the very first Japanese car ‘Subaru One’. We also had a very fruitful interaction in the Ministry of Human Affairs. We then began to understand that it is time for India and Japan not only to respect but also celebrate their differences in order to

My Memorable Trip to Nihon (Japan)

109 fortunate students finally made it to the India-Japanese Learner’s Batch under the JENESYS (Japan-East Asia Network of Exchange for Students and Youths) programme to visit the Land of the Rising Sun… yeah, Japan! There were 6 groups – Hokkaido, Aichi/Gifu, Ishikawa, Tottori and Nagasaki. Hassan Kalam and I, Ananya Bhav were assigned to the Tottori group. Our group comprised of eight girls and fourteen boys...

The life-transforming and memorable trip to Japan, I believe, has contributed to making me a little more mature and hmmm... patient. Japan is an amazing

island country of many traditions, ceremonies and festivals but we missed the magical cherry blossoms by a good two months!

This student exchange programme provided me with a lot…much more than I had expected or imagined – a beginning of an understanding of the nuances of the

11

advance mutual friendship to an altogether new level.The next happening event, after we moved onto Tottori, was visiting the Yaegaki Shrine (a Shinto-love shrine). There we interestingly learnt about which would be the suitable direction to find our love and what would be good for the relationship. What followed was a great boat ride in the moat around the magnificent Matsue Castle. We missed the sunset at Lake Shinji, the seventh largest lake in Japan, as the sky was overcast, it being the rainy season.

After our visit to the Yonago Cleaning Center, we headed for the school exchange program. There we visited the Yonago National College of Technology. Introductions with the Japanese students were fun and then, we went on to assemble robots and thereafter we had a tour of the campus. It was touching that they gave away those robots to us as a souvenir.

Out of the multitude of activities and events organized by the ‘Tottori Friendship Force’, I found ‘calligraphy’ and ‘origami’ the most aesthetic.

The high point of the entire programme was the home-stay with the ‘Higuchi’ family. Two students stayed with each host family. We had a whirlwind time with the hosts – Masa San and Naomi San. We bonded well with their Golden Retriever - Jack. They took us for baseball practice, fishing, sailing and ‘onsen’ (hot spring/ public bath). Yet meeting their daughter and a year old twin grandsons – Yuito and Toma was the most fabulous experience. Our hosts actually took the trouble to take us to their daughter’s home! It was only a two day stay but we had a heavy heart when it was time to say Sayonara. At the farewell party we bid adieu to our generous hosts, with our student friends from Yonago National College and members of Tottori Friendship Force saying ‘Dewa, mata’ (see you again).

The visit to the Tokyo University was worthwhile and educative. The University has Gothic architecture - inspired structures, a well-equipped library with a million odd books. The concluding presentation went off very well.

Like all good things come to an end; we, enriched with our experiences in Japan- had to return to our homeland the

next day. I must reiterate that the Japanese are very warm, courteous, peace-loving, disciplined, humane and intelligent.

I am immensely grateful to our Principal, Dr Shakuntala S. Jaiman, to JICE – Japan International Cooperation Center and the Japan Embassy for this experience for a lifetime.

INDO- JAPAN RELATION

The year 2012 marked the 60th Anniversary of Diplomatic Relations between Japan and India. There were various programs organized

in Japan Embassy. Our school also featured in the list of invitees. On 11th March 2012 I and Ms Rajbala attended the Prayer Meeting at the Japan Embassy to commemorate the Anniversary of the devastating Earth quake and the Tsunami of 2011 which brought a great loss to Japan in terms of lives and infrastructure. The programme started with a prayer followed by a speech by His Excellency Mr Akitaka Saiki, Ambassador of Japan to India. He reiterated that Japan would like to renew commitment to magnify further the bilateral relationship between Japan and India in a comprehensive manner, and look forward to a new chapter of Indo-Japan friendship and cooperation. After the speech, a documentary was shown reflecting how the indomitable people of Japan dealt with the situation and brought things back to normalcy within a year.

Our students- Tamchos, Sonam, Alisha, Sumanpreet escorted by Ms Rajbala and me, went to see the exhibition put up at the India International Centre, exhibiting the 60 years of diplomatic relations between the two nations. The students relished the sushi and other Japanese delicacies offered after the exhibition.

Long live Indo-Japan relationship!!!

Interns from Canada and Kyrgyzstan - Ms Samantha and Ms Dilde respectively, stayed at CSKM as trainee-teachers. They enthusiastically

conducted various workshops together namely, cultural interaction, wherein they exchanged information about Canada and Kyrgyzstan and got better acquainted with India and her traditions through interactions with the students. ‘Leadership’ and ‘Peer Pressure’ workshops with students of classes VI to VIII and X were very successful. After Ms Samantha had to leave, Ms Dilde discussed ‘Time Management’, ‘Alcohol awareness’, ‘HIV & AIDS awareness’ and so forth... burning issues with students of classes IX, XI and XII.

Interspersed with these fruitful and educative workshops, facilitated by the school counselor were visits to Dilli Haat, Purana Quila, Sarojini Nagar Market, the Lotus temple, Gurudwara Bangla Sahib and the Taj Mahal in Agra. Ms Dilde also savoured the flavours of India through celebration of Janamshatmi, Rakshabandhan, Independence Day, Cultural House Nites with the boarding students and thoroughly enjoyed the experience of decking up in a sari – gifted to her by the Principal, Dr S S Jaiman on the Independence Day, 15th August.

Deepika Abrol, TeacherKyrgyzstanMy Father, Abdilasiz an artist and an architect, is kind and at the same time strict, strong and wise. My mother – Damira also an artist, designer, is very smart, beautiful and kind.

Once upon a time they met in the most romantic city Lviv, Ukraine and fell in love with each other. In 1992, on the 14th of May, already in Bishkek the capital of Kyrgyzstan, I (Dilde) was born. Then it was my sister – Siyada, who was born 3 years later, who gives hope to become the legendary designer to follow our parents’ creative way. I’ve turned out to be not so close to the craft. My childhood interests were war games and I used to wish to become the President in future.

Now I’m a junior student in Biskkek Humanities University. My profession is a teacher of English and Italian.

Although I’m studying languages, I do not have any plans to become a teacher. At present a hobby that I find more interesting than anything else is journalism. I take interviews, write short articles on various topics and get a tiny amount of money as a volunteer in my spare time. Usually I do volunteer work in the ‘Association of parents of Disabled children’. There, I’ve

learned a lot in two years. Thanks to this organization, my social life is richer. I began to apply for different projects and then participated in them. One day I filed for the International exchange programme though AIESEC and I was accepted. I stayed in CSKM Public School for four weeks.

At CSKM, I prepared workshops on social themes and in the mornings I rushed to the school to share on the topics that I had prepared with the students. It’s a little hard for me to speak a foreign language, because I have to memorize all the words. Students actively participated for which I’d like to thank all of them. But often the situation went out of control, and Deepika Ma’am took the interaction under her strong leadership. Here I have a relaxed schedule. India indulges me with its holidays and festivals and that I like very much. And on 15th August, 2012 Indian Independence Day, I was helped to wear a beautiful sari, presented to me by the Principal, Dr Shakuntla S Jaiman. Performances of students in different events do not raise any doubt about their various abilities and talents. Also I had the luxury of pleasant excursions to the temples of Delhi with school children. There are very interesting rituals and rules in the temples such as entering the shrine in shoes is not allowed. Well, that is massage for the feet -walking barefoot! The singing by the priest was great. I like the fact that you are served food and drinks when you exit the temple.

I appreciate the approach of teachers toward students. Students feel at great ease in front of them. At least, it was noticeable during classes for juniors. I saw the notebooks of the students, and there were painted ‘smileys’ next to the marks. This motivates them, said Madhu Kapoor Ma’am. It’s a good idea and it gives the little ones really positive approach to life.

I loved the interactions with students. Most high school students pleased me by being positive. The younger students of junior classes were the most lovely, genuine and alive. Workshops with them were really fun.

One boy even drew me with Deepika ma’am, standing next to the flag of Kyrgyzstan. We both had huge hands and the head of Deepika Ma’am was in the form of a heart. It was very funny.

I really wished to visit the Taj Mahal before going back and time was running out. The school responded very quickly and didn’t let me go alone. Chances of being lost were great and so we went with our ‘family’ - 3 boys and 3 girls, Deepika ma’am and the taxi driver.

The Taj Mahal is huge and beautiful. However, the delight and attraction were not only the beauty of the building and its patterns, but in the background, history, about how and why Taj Mahal was built. Well, everybody knows its amazing history.

HelloThank you all for your kind words and thoughts. My family and I appreciate them.

I would like to thank everyone at CSKM for making my time there very special and memorable. I felt very welcomed and a part of school right away. The girls were very nice to show me around the school and take care of me everyday. All of the students were great in class and participated making it a lot of fun to be there. All of the teachers were very nice and planned great day trips. I had a lot of fun on all of the outings and was happy that I got to learn about local traditions and customs. Thank you everyone, you should all be very proud of your school. Please take care and let me know if any of you plans to come to Canada.

Summer Camp - 40 Productive Days of Summer Vacation

I am glad, I joined the Summer Camp in my school. The camp was from 1st May to 9th June. In the beginning, I was hesitant as I was new to the school.

The camp as we all know is for all the new students and the old students who need extra help to come up to the desired academic level. The classes were from morning till noon. We had classes of English, Maths,

Art & Craft and Cycling. After lunch we were given rest. Evening was fun time for us when we played Tennis and Cricket. Skating was the most enjoyable sport. We had calligraphy class to improve our hand writing. We were also taught English songs for the cultural evening. In the cultural nite every child participated. During the Camp, we also participated in various competitions like Maths Marathon, Word Chain and Recitation. We also went to

the Fun & Food Village and had a gala time there.

I enjoyed and learnt so much in the camp and it helped me to adjust myself in the hostel. In the camp students were given individual attention. I am convinced that the camp is very good and I will join it whenever I can.

Hassan : Ma’am did Politics happen to you by luck or was it your aim?

Ms Dikshit : Both. I wanted to be a politician. First it happened by chance and now it is my passion. When someone becomes a doctor, then his work becomes passion for him and the same happened with me.

Vivek : How do you shoulder your responsibilities in spite of such a busy schedule?

Ms Dikshit : I take it very smoothly and do it with a feel of passion. One should take everything in life as adventure because if you are adventurous in performing your tasks and duties then you will enjoy it and never feel that you’re busy.

Anupma : Do you think abolishment of board exam from 10th standard is good for students? Should it be re-imposed?

Ms Dikshit : We don’t have to run for marks, it hardly matters whether you get 80% or 90%. The only thing that matters is that how we are getting knowledge to become successful in our life. Even my own grand-daughter used to tell me, “I got neither 80% nor 90%. In such a situation I console her not to worry about marks.

Akshay : Ma’am, since childhood we’ve heard that the upcoming generation will change India. What should be our role?

Ms Dikshit : Every child is taught to do something good. When he grows up it is upto him/her to decide what is good and what is bad. If he/she will take the side of good then he will definitely do something good for the nation. When I was a child I too heard the same from my parents. I read the same thing in newspapers, books and magazines. Now what you’re seeing is a better India and completely different from the one we saw in our childhood. You’re provided with a beautiful nation.

Mohit : Being the capital of India, Delhi isn’t devoid of crime. What are your views on it?

Ms Dikshit : Yes, you’re right. India isn’t devoid of crime but police and government authority alone can’t do anything. We need co-operation from public. Clapping can’t be done by one hand, it needs both. So, for wiping out these evils we need help of public.

Ms Rajbala : Ma’am would you like to convey any message to the teachers?

Ms Dikshit : I request teachers to take care of the students as they are very precious and our future generation.

Students’ visit to Chief Minister’s ResidenceThe students and staff members, Officiating Principal, Mr S K Thakur, Dr Parvez Alam and Mrs Raj Bala Sharma had a wonderful opportunity for an interactive session with Hon’ble Chief Minister, Mrs Shiela Dikshit. It was indeed an exhilarating experience.

Founder’s Day

CSKM Public School celebrated the Founder’s day commemorating the 83rd birth anniversary of our Founder Chairman, Col P.S Satsangi, VSM on 20th

October 2012.

The programme commenced with the lighting of the lamp of learning by the Chief Guest, Prof M.M Pant and the Guest of Honour, Gp Capt Ram Parvesh Kumar.

With the enchanting beats of ‘Shivoham’ to which the school girls danced gracefully, the blessings of the Almighty were invoked. It was followed by a presentation on the Founder Chairman, Col PS Satsangi; his charisma, vision and innovative leadership as an educationist par excellence were witnessed by the spectators.

Gp Capt R P Kumar in his oratory tribute paid homage to Col P S Satsangi, who was his Principal in Sainik School Tilaiya. Under Col Satsangi’s tutelage, the young R P Kumar blossomed, ultimately to reach a distinguished position.

The 7th Col P.S Satsangi Memorial Lecture was delivered by the internationally renowned scientist, researcher, ‘thought-guru’, Prof M M Pant on the theme –‘Every Child …… a winner’ echoing the educational philosophy of Col Satsangi. Prof Pant reiterated the importance of creativity, innovation and conducive environment for young learners for these very qualities to flourish. He elucidated that sustaining good education, making theory relevant, applying it to problem solving in life is real education. Prof Pant’s very apt message for

school teachers was to encourage students to ask ‘good questions’ and to create an environment for the students to educe their latent talents.

As far as the school curriculum is concerned, according to Prof Pant, it is not the content but how it is transacted which is the important aspect.

In Prof Pant’s own words, “If you can only do what you have been taught how to do, you are replaceable by a software or by a robot …” In essence, it is the ideas and the power of thought that are paramount.

Prof Pant is successfully working towards his vision to promote learning, thinking, creating and caring to achieve the higher goals of human existence; and for the young learners to be ready for future.

Founder’s Day commemorative awards were presented to faculty members for 25 years of dedicated service to the institution. The prestigious ‘Prem Kiran Guru Samman’ was awarded to Mr. Ashok K. Pandey, from an early batch of teachers, mentored by Col. Satsangi. Mr. Ashok Pandey is now the Principal, Ahlcon International School, Mayur Vihar, New Delhi.

Chairman, Dr. Rohit Jaiman profusely thanked Prof M.M. Pant in the valedictory for his relevant and profound talk. The programme concluded with the presentation of school mementos to the Chief Guest and the Guest of honour as a token of gratitude and appreciation. The programme concluded with the school song.

Spic Macay is a cultural society that aims at bringing awareness about the rich cultural heritage of India among the youth. This year Virasat 2012

was dedicated to Ustad Amir Khan, Janab Saadat Hassan Manto.

Our school got the privilege to host the colourful five day workshop of traditional Madhubani Painting under the aegis of Spic Macay. The renowned artist, Ms Ambika Devi conducted the workshop brilliantly. The children were encouraged and they came forward to contribute in learning the traditional painting style that mostly depicts the Nature and Hindu Religious Motifs. In all it was a wonderful experience.

We also had the pleasure of witnessing Kathak by world renowned dancer Padmabhushan Ms Uma Sharma. She commenced the recital with

‘Vishnu Vandana’ followed by some pure techniques of Kathak. She apprised the students about the rich repertoire that comprises Kathak Dance. She told them that Kathak dance is divine and Indian classical dance has its roots in the mythology of Gods. She also informed the audience of the enriching influence of the Mughal patronage on Kathak. Through hands, eyes, facial expressions and foot movements she demonstrated how the technique of Kathak makes use of fast rhythmic foot and body movements. What made the performance special was the interactive approach through which the artist generated interest among the students.

Spic Macay ‘Virasat -2012’

KathakThen we witnessed an entirely abhinaya filled performance in which she played the role of Maa Yashoda, Krishna and his friends through stylised mime using hand gestures and facial expressions. This way she demonstrated how one dancer goes into many characters. The audience was awestruck by her performance. She went on to mesmerize the young audience with the famous anecdote ‘Marich Vadh’ from Ramayana. The Kathak performance concluded with Jugalbandi of ‘Tabla’ and ‘Ghungru’. It was indeed a performance that the students will always remember very fondly and with awe. The show concluded with a vote of thanks by the Principal Dr (Mrs) S S Jaiman and honouring the artist with special token of appreciation.

It was indeed a matter of great pride and pleasure for our students as they got an opportunity to witness a Qawwali Recital by the famous Qutabi Brothers.

Illiyas Ji and further added, “Qawwali singing has been the art form of our family for the past

Tour To Manali

Sixty five students from classes IV to X and six staff members went on a five day Manali tour in October, 2012. They stayed in the Jessica Hotel.

The rooms and food was good. Visits to Hidimba temple, Buddhist temple, Manikaran, Rohtang pass and Solang Valley were conducted. The students were excited to see snow at Rohtang pass as many had never seen it before. They also did shopping at the mall. We visited a shawl factory also. We enjoyed and learned a lot from this tour.

They further enthralled the audience with their famous qawwali “Chaap Tilak Sab Chhini…”. Intermittently they recited couplets in praise of the Almighty, the ‘Guru’ and ‘Parents’. It was indeed a novel way of teaching and reaching out to the young minds. The students went into raptures as they culminated their recital with ‘Damadam mast kalandar’, ‘Mera piya ghar aaya’ and some lines of ‘Bulle Shah.’ It was a spectacular medley which resulted in a standing ovation.

I came to CSKM in 2001 for my son’s admission. I still remember my first meeting with the Founder Chairman, Col. Satsangi. I was highly impressed

with his far sightedness, vision and his contribution to the field of education. At that time I worked for a school in administration office. I was looking for a change… I wanted to be a teacher.

I fully realize that to be a teacher is truly a calling of not just the mind but the heart as well.

Sir showed confidence in me and told me to try teaching for a week. I seized this opportunity.

Teaching was one thing that I had never done before but I always wanted to be a teacher. I was really fortunate to have had Col Satsangi Sir as my guide and the one who understood my thirst for teaching and supported my efforts to achieve my goals.

Teaching was different from my previous work. The responsibilities were greater. I was very nervous and excited on my first day of TEACHING. It went by so quickly with so many new staff and pupils to meet; I didn’t have time to think about the day. I did feel really apprehensive, constantly thinking about if I had made the right decision. At the end of the day when I finally got home it began to sink in how exciting teaching really was and that the opportunity which Col. Sir gave me - was just right for me.

It took a couple of days to get fully into the swing of things, but since then there was no looking back, it was just moving forward.

Within a couple of years I was honoured with the “Teacher Of The Year Award”. Until then I had not known that I could also become a good teacher. My heartfelt thanks to Col. Satsangi for shaping my career! I am not going alone from here; I am taking some unique experiences, a lot of learning, lots of cherished memories and the diligent leadership that Shaku Ma’am provided to me.

The rough and tough philosophy of the school has made me so tough that I am certain that I can withstand any challenges in life now. This school has been ‘my home away from home’.

CSKM has a deep imprint on my heart that will go with me wherever I go. I will MISS you all!

We are all aware that our environment plays a significant role in our lives. One of the most important components of it is fresh air.

We feel that the air is being contaminated by unwanted substances like smoke from factories, power plants and automobile exhaust etc. Other pollutants are CFCs which are used in refrigerators, air conditioners and aerosol sprays. CFCs damage the ozone layer of atmosphere which protects us from harmful UV rays of sun.

In addition to this a very huge cause of air pollution is celebrating Diwali by bursting a large number of crackers. They not only produce sound pollution but also cause air pollution which leads to many respiratory problems and are also responsible for global warming which is a serious threat to mankind. Keeping in mind all these harmful effects of air pollution, we the students and staff of CSKM Public School took initiative to organize a campaign titled “Say No to crackers” on 12 November, 2012. A team of about 100 students from classes III to VIII and 25 teachers participated in this campaign. We started the campaign from our school itself and then covered the neighbouring areas.

The purpose of this rally was to generate awareness among the people of neighbouring areas about harmful effects of bursting crackers. The students along with teachers walked the lanes with the slogans written on banners like ‘Say No To Crackers’ and ‘Save Environment Save Life’ etc. Children also distributed about 200 handouts depicting the harmful effects of bursting

crackers. After the campaign everyone assembled in at the MCD Park, Chhattarpur.

Mrs Anita Tyagi (Deputy Chairperson, South Delhi) was the Chief Guest of the event. She also made the students aware about ill effects of bursting crackers. Afterwards Mr R K Tyagi, Vice Principal and Mr S K Thakur, Officiating Principal addressed the gathering. Enthusiasm of all students and teachers who participated was really appreciable. Our Principal Dr (Mrs) S S Jaiman encouraged the students and staff for this noble cause. People who interacted with the students during the campaign were really impressed with the commendable efforts of the students and promised not to burst crackers on Diwali.

To celebrate crackerless Diwali on the campus, a speech and a poem on Diwali was recited by the students and worship of idols of Ganesh ji and Lakshmi ji was conducted. This was followed by an Oath not to burn crackers on Diwali.

A special workshop was conducted for making candles and Diyas under the guidance of our Art & Craft teachers Mr R K Ojha and Mrs Malti Ojha.

Though the quality of air at various locations is monitored regularly by Government and other agencies but a small contribution on our part can make a huge difference. I would like to appeal you all on behalf of CSKM Eco Club to celebrate crackerless and safe Diwali every year and care for our environment by planting trees, properly disposing garbage etc.

We celebrated our 27th Parents Annual Day to commemorate the birthday of Late Ma’am Kiran Satsangi in whose loving

memory Col P S Satsangi, VSM, Founder Chairman Sir established this institution. Mr SBK Singh, the Joint Commissioner of Police (Crime) Delhi Police was the Chief Guest. The programme commenced with the lighting of ceremonial lamp followed by spiritual invocation ‘SHIVOHAM’. Officiating Principal Mr S K Thakur presented the Annual School Report highlighting the school achievements. Tiny tots performed the ‘SONG OF LIFE’ full of energy and enthusiasm. The highlight of the day was a play ‘TO GIVE A DAUGHTER AWAY’ by Malini Bhattacharya. Cultural items also included a mime show emphasizing the role of a mother and a solo performance on ‘MAA’ by Rigzin of class XII. Trophies and certificates were awarded to students for their scholastic, co-scholastic and sporting excellence. CSKM BAND rocked and took everyone away a hundred miles.

I do not expect India of my dreams to develop one religion, i.e., to be wholly Hindu or wholly Christian or wholly Muslim, but I want it to be wholly tolerant,

with its religions working side by side with one another,’’ said Mahatma Gandhi. India is a secular land, filled with the fragrance of varied cultures and traditions. CSKM fraternity feels proud to be a medium of enhancement of the same. We being secular in spirit, celebrate all religious festivals from time to time like Lohri, Makar Sankranti, Holi, Raksha Bandhan, Dussehra, Diwali, Eid, Onam and Christmas with equal fervor. This inspires the students to adhere to the rich heritage of our sacred motherland.

FAREWELL - Be Problem Solvers and Facility Creators

The metamorphosis of students from gawky young boys and girls to poised confident, young ladies and gentlemen was a treat for the eyes, as the school

wished them God-speed on the occasion of farewell.

Drama Competition

T heatre brings out the innate personality of a child and also helps to develop confidence of the actor within. Students

participated in Inter School Drama Competition at Lok Kala Manch, Lodhi Road organized by Peagle Education Solutions for Delhi, NCR schools.

The theme of the Drama was ‘Maa’. We conveyed the message about the role of mother in a child’s life. Through this play we showed various stages of childhood, school life and married life and how a mother plays a very special role in the child’s life for his/her growth and development. Children should understand the importance of mother and take care of her but nowadays mothers are taken for granted. We forget how and what mothers have gone through in bringing us up in the world and making us good human beings.

The following students participated enthusiastically and won the second prize - Moirangthem Kunal, Hemant Swami , Anurag Anand and Ankit Yadav of Class V, Nitin Bhatt, Arun Kumar Pandit, Eklavya Yadav and Abhishek Rout of class VII.

ParaglidingIn summer vacation I visited Kullu and Manali. I played different adventurous games like skiing, zorbing, rafting and paragliding there. I liked paragliding the most. It is done with the help of very high quality polyester. You can glide in the air with Parachute. You have strings in your hands to control your Parachute.

Paragliding was a wonderful experience for me. I felt as if I was flying in the sky. It was like a dream come true. I will never forget this experience.

Love Our CountryIndia is our country. We must love and respect our country.

As a mark of respect we celebrate Independence Day and Republic Day in our school. We hoist the national flag and sing the national anthem. This makes us feel patriotic. Our national flag has three bands with three different colours. Each colour has its own significance.

The colour Saffron stands for courage and bravery. White reminds us to be truthful, honest and peaceful. Green colour symbolizes prosperity. At the centre of the white band is a blue wheel. It has twenty four spokes. The spokes of the wheel stand for twenty four hours of the day. The wheel is the symbol of right conduct and continuous efforts.

Our national flag symbolizes courage, truth, purity, prosperity and right conduct. Our country is a land where people of different religions live in unity. God wants his children to be united and to love one another. He wants us to obey and respect the laws of our country.

My Dream WorldIf I have a dream world, it will be of chocolates and vanilla ice creams. The buildings will be made of chocolate bricks and ice-creams of different flavours like chocolate, vanilla, butter scotch and strawberry. The parliament will also be in the shape of an ice cream cone. The rivers, ponds and seas will be full of flavoured milk and even the human beings will be made of chocolate. Tables, books and fans will also be made up of chocolate and ice-creams. Leaves, fruits and flowers of chocolate will grow again and again on the trees I adore this world of chocolates and ice-creams. Some dreams come true and I wish this too comes true!

PuppyI found a puppy lying on the road. I went near him. I saw him, his eyes were closed and he was still a baby. I picked him up and I took him home. I cleaned him and gave him some milk to drink. Then I covered him with a cloth and put him in a little box. After sometime his eyes opened and I knew he was safe. Now he is my happy puppy!!!!!

Magical GenieOne day my friends and I were playing in the garden. We saw a Genie coming. They were very shocked to see that she was wearing heavy jewellery and a beautiful dress. The children went to her and started talking to her and gave her compliments. After talking for sometime, we asked her where her home was. She said that she was from a magical world. All of us were surprised and asked if she also had a magic wand. She gave a sweet smile and said that she could do magic with her hands. Then she was hungry. We quickly brought some food from our house. The Genie exclaimed that it was Yummy! She wanted to meet our mothers because she found the food delicious.

For some time we all played in the garden. She then said, “Now I will grant you a wish, tell me what do you want?”. All all of us said that we wanted her to grant us the power of not doing anything wrong in life.

Genie said, “It will be done...“. And then she returned to her magical world. May be from there she always guides all of us.

A PeacockI woke up at 6 O’clock in the morning. I brushed my teeth and washed my face and came out on the verandah. There I saw a peacock with big, long colourful feathers. I went to the room. I put some seeds in a bowl and put it on the ground. The peacock saw me and came running towards me. I went into my house. The peacock quickly ate all the bajra seeds. Then it happily flew away into the forest. It was a very pleasant morning experience.

When I met a Genie one dayOne day, I and a lot of my friends and others were playing in the park. Some were playing Kabaddi and some cricket. Suddenly a Genie appeared. She was wearing a bright red Punjabi dress. She was coming towards us. We went to her. We were amazed because we had never seen such a girl walking in the garden. She kept smiling and looking at us happily. We began to talk. She was hungry. We went to our homes and all of us brought food for her. The Genie was very happy. But after some time, she shouted and said that her dress had got dirty. We rushed again to our homes to get a dress for her. suddenly a big man appeared and said that he was Genie’s father and had come to take her home. When he asked her to accompany him, she wished to stay with us. She was upset and we made her understand that she must go back to her own world and finally she agreed. The Genie and her father held hands and disappeared. Before going, the sweet Genie promised to be with us whenever we needed her company.

A World Without Trees….If there are no trees, the world will be barren. We can’t survive because trees give us oxygen and absorb carbon dioxide. Rain is formed due to the trees and if rains don’t occur we would not have water to drink, to wash clothes, to cook food and finally we will die. Without trees, global warming will increase and we will die because of heat. Hence, due to lack of oxygen, scarcity of water; all forms of life on earth will end. Trees are also the source of many medicines. When we are sick these medicines cure us. Trees give us wood with which we cook our food. Without furniture, medicines and wood etc life will become very difficult. Many trees also provide us clothes which we wear on various occasions . Even our note books, books and every single sheet of paper are made from trees. So trees are integral to our life and crucial for survival. That is why, it is said –

‘SAVE TREES, SAVE LIFE’

I love my India I love my India. It is a land of wonders, mysticism and traditions and a bonanza of rich cultural heritage. India’s rich heritage is its beautiful buildings, magnificent treasures and historical monuments. India has different customs followed in its different regions. Each state has its own different features - its people, its food, its ornaments and its dress. India has so much to offer spiritually, culturally and continues to fascinate a steady flow of tourists who are keen to explore “Incredible India”. I feel proud when I say “I Love my India”.

How we saved our house from robbersMy mother and I were at home. My mother was cooking food and I was watching television. When I switched on the air-conditioner I found it was not working. My mother rang up father to call for an electrician to repair the air-conditioner.

My father called the electrician and told him what the problem was and gave him the address of the house. The electrician said that he was busy and he would be able to come only after 9 O’ clock. There was a man standing behind my father who was listening to the telephonic conversation of my father. This man happened to be a robber who wanted to ransack our house.

At 8 O’clock, my father was back from work. The robber posing as the electrician rang the bell. My father opened the door and the person said that he was the electrician and had come to repair the air-conditioner. The robber said that he had forgotten to bring the gas to fill in the air-conditioner. He said that he would call another electrician who will provide the gas. He asked my father to wait downstairs. My mother had to go to the market and told me to stay in the house.

The bell rang again and I opened the door. The men said that they had brought the gas for the air-conditioner. I directed them to go upstairs and came down. The bell rang yet again. The man at the door said that he had received the call from my father to check the air-conditioner. I quickly called my father and we realized that the men upstairs were frauds. My father called the police as well as the neighbours. The robbers were caught red handed as they were tucking away goods and valuables. The robbers were given a sound thrashing and were handed over to the police.

Well, we were saved only because of the real electrician.

An Angel’s WorldIt was all white everywhere around me. After sometime a light appeared. I was not able to see what that was. Then, the light disappeared. I was able to see all the things around me. There were trees, many colourful flowers, a big palace, a beautiful lake, clouds of many shapes etc. I was feeling like a queen there. For a second, I forgot all the things and I felt that was my kingdom. I went near the lake. Suddenly a lotus plant floated on its water. Then, I went near a tree. That tree did not have any fruit. I thought of having fruits, and all of a sudden many fruits appeared on that tree. I was very surprised to see that. Finally I found that I was flying in the sky. It made me more surprised. I was scared too. So, I looked here and there and cried for help. An angel appeared before me. I stopped and was amazed to see her. That angel was very beautiful. She did not say anything and took me inside the palace. In that palace I met the angel’s family. She was very happy to take me around the heavenly palace. I saw everything very closely. There was no pollution, no man made destruction and no violence. It was so well maintained by the angels. All the angels were very cheerful. I talked to the angel and her family. They were very nice. I wished that I could live there forever as I was very happy there. Out of excitement I started running here and there. Suddenly I fell on the ground while jumping up and down and then I realized it was all a dream. The next day I shared my dream with my friends and we were all laughing over it.

I was bed ridden for almost one month as I was very sick. I lay on my bed thinking and crying. Soon I went into a deep sleep and I was lost in a dream. I asked myself where I was. Suddenly I saw a palace right in front of me. It was designed beautifully in gold, silver and different kinds of stones. It was glittering. The palace was so big and beautiful. Suddenly there came a beautiful and lovely angel. She was very fair. She called me by my name and we went inside to have a look around the palace. Then she took me to the garden, it was green everywhere. There were so many birds, flowers and fruits. She again called me and took me over the clouds. She asked me if I wanted to get better. I said yes I wanted. She gave me so many sweets and chocolates. She told me to give some to my parents. I was feeling as if I was in heaven. Sometime later I woke up. My mouth was moving when I woke up. I saw my mother sitting beside me. She was asking me if I wanted to have something. I asked her where I was and then she told me that I was at home on my bed. Then I realized that I had been in a dream in heaven talking to the angels. I told everything about my dream to my parents. My parents and I laughed together. After some days I was better. That was how I happened to meet an angel in my dream.

I was afraid and wondered where I was when I found I was up in the sky where I couldn’t see anything except blue and white clouds. Then I heard someone crying close by. I walked towards the sound. Suddenly I saw a girl in a white dress. She was sitting and crying. She was a girl aged between 15 to 20 years. She was fair and had hair of golden colour. I was not able to make out who she was. I was alone in the sky among the clouds and the weeping girl. She had pretty wings and was wearing gold bangles.

I was a little afraid to go near her but as she was crying I thought she needed some help. I pushed myself and asked why she was crying. She asked me who I was to ask her a question. I told her I just wanted to help her. She told me that she had lost her parents and was alone. I asked her to be my friend. She agreed. Then I asked to her about her parents and she told me many more things. She said that it was time for her to go and she would grant me five wishes. My first wish was for the angel to be my friend forever. The second wish I made was to be with my family. The third was to find her parents. The fourth and fifth were for everyone to live happily. I was overwhelmed. Someone was shaking me and I realised that my mother was waking me up and it was all a dream. I wish that I may have the same dream next time as I had forgoten to ask the angel’s name.

The Candle in a LifeTeaching is the most honourable profession in the world. God is our first teacher. There is a well known saying “The character of a Teacher is embodied by his students”. Everyone in this world is either a teacher, or a student, if we observe the great development in the world, it is only because of teachers. The recent great advancements in industries, medicine, various technologies, social, economical and cultural fields are because of teachers. If one says that it is the teachers who are the back bone of each and every country, then it would not be wrong.

A well known European philosopher says that “if you want to destroy a nation, destroy its teachers and the nation itself will be destroyed”. In a nut shell “A teacher plays great and pivotal role in the rise and downfall of not only nations but also the humanity. When we come in this world we see in the face of our parents our first teachers. So we can say that the teacher is one who can help us differentiate between the right and wrong. The teacher is like a candle in our life….

Water Is Life - Save Water! Save Life!Water is the most essential natural resource in our life. Without water we can’t survive. Water helps us in various life-processes like digestion, excretion, circulation etc. Water is also known as ‘Wonder liquid’ because it covers a large area of the earth’s surface. Water is present in all the three forms-solid, liquid and gas. Of recent, water is being polluted regularly by human beings. We have polluted the surface water. The level of fresh water has decreased. Water is also polluted by industries and factories. We must save water. We can conserve water by using rain water harvesting and can use clean water for healthy living.

My First Day in SchoolOh! What a wonderful day it was when my Kabul express stopped at CSKM station in the capital city of India. Although it had stopped at other schools too but the school I got in is really the one I desired. It has beloved policy that says “EVERY CHILD IS A WINNER”. No doubt everyone is very cooperative. The teachers never treat me differently as I am weak in studies. Infact, they give me equal importance as the toppers. They always encourage me. The pollution free environment can’t be expressed in words. Being quite naughty I was in the habit of bunking classes but the school inspired me to stay away from such bad habits. The school is also following the policy of ‘Nil Failure System’ which is a real blessing for students. Serious academic atmosphere prevails in the academic time. This place like heaven can not be forgotten. I love this school very much and I am very fortunate to be a part of the CSKM family.

Water – A Wonder Liquid The nature created water. Why? To quench our thirst.Why did nature create water? To help plants grow so that they give us oxygen,Why did nature create water? To give life to very big and beautiful species of fishes.Why did nature create water? To help scientists invent new machines, invention and elements.Why did nature create water? To help us do our household work daily.Why did nature create water? To give rise to huge rivers and oceans.Why did nature create water? If water hadn’t been there, the longest river Nile and Holy river Ganga wouldn’t exit.Why did nature create water? To help cure diseases and wash cuts and bruises.Why did nature create water?If water didn’t exist life on earth would not be possible.I think that is why water is called ‘the wonder liquid’.Because it sustains life and keeps planet Earth alive.

The Worst Moment of My LifeIt was the last day of Ramadhan and we were going for shopping for Eid. My elder brother, I, my dad and his six guards. We had done our shopping and were on the way back home and just then what happened was the worst moment of my life. A road side bomb blew. The blast took place at a distance of four metres. At that moment, I felt that I was very far from my mother, my family and friends. “Dad, my head hurts”, suddenly my elder brother cried out and at the same time, one of the guards called out to my father, “Sir, one of the soldier is dead and another one is injured”. My dad drove straight to the hospital in the car which was badly damaged by the bomb blast. The other soldier also left us at midnight.

We were then shifted to the Army hospital and we were there till morning. We returned home after being discharged. I didn’t even realize that Eid had come and gone. But for me, it was more than Eid that I was alive and was with my family and friends again.

I thank God Almighty for keeping us safe.

That was the worst moment of my life and the happiest also as I am still alive. It is, indeed, a great wonderful feeling.

A Visit To Dilli Haat!It was such a wonderful experience and a memory I will cherish for long. We were a group of Senior Secondary students who went to Dilli Haat with Miss Samantha and Miss Dilya – our guest teachers from Canada and Kyrgyzstan respectively, escorted by Ms. Deepika and Ms. Vanaja.

It was fun traveling by the Metro from Chattarpur to INA Station.

Dilli Haat is altogether another world! We saw beautiful handicrafts displayed there – jute bags, colourfully and aesthetically woven scarves, sarees, ethnic bangles, coconut shell jewellery, belts, sandals, key rings, bags….oh, the list is endless.

Imprinted in my memory is the old man who was playing a traditional musical instrument with the notes floating in the air…right in the middle of the Haat. Hmmm….a very pleasant and peaceful memory.

Antique pieces of furniture were a feast for the eyes while the traditional miniature paintings of Rajasthan on old, used envelopes, seen with a magnifying glass, were simply incredible. The beauty of intricate ‘jaali’ work on stone – carved pieces and marble from Agra can be experienced only when you look at and hold the articles yourself. The attractive, artistic and well as useful products sold like hot cakes. Many foreigners appreciate both the toil of the craftsmen as well as the aesthetic products.

The food court is simply ‘wow’. It has a variety of cuisines from all over India. The mouth – watering dishes tickled our childhood memories. We ate till we could eat no more.

All in all, Dilli Haat beckons one for more!

The Taj Beckons...Despite having lived in Delhi for many years, we had never been to Agra before. We were really excited, when we heard that we will be going on a trip to Agra, to see the Taj Mahal – one of the wonders of the world!!We couldn’t sleep the day before the trip. We were so looking forward to the trip. We had to wake up at 5 am. Usually, when the warden comes to wake us up, we don’t wake up on time but on that day, warden’s one knock at our door, and we were wide awake. Usually, a girl takes half an hour to dress up but we took only 10 minutes. Imagine, how fast! Then we rushed to the place where our three more classmates were waiting for us. We got into the car and then the wonderful JOURNEY began…. And thanks to Ms Dilya, the intern from Kyrgyzstan because of whom the trip was organized.

The weather was beautiful and there was a gentle drizzle. It felt like home inside the car. We passed our time by eating, sleeping, singing and enjoying as much as we could till we reached our destination.

The nearer the Taj Mahal was, the more excited we were. As usual, we had to take entry tickets and the ticket man thought we were foreigners. Oh, what an argument we had…haha, funny! But anyhow, we enjoyed the trip to the fullest. And at last, there we saw the ‘heaven’ – amazingly beautiful, shining like never before – the Taj. We took many snaps, roamed and shopped a little.Thank you CSKM for a lovely trip!

Asanas with Yogacharya Pratishthaji

We, the students of classes IX to XII, were indeed very fortunate to attend the SPIC MACAY YOG workshop with the youngest Yog-Guru and

Mind Therapist, Yogacharya Pratishthaji organized by our school. Yogacharya Pratishthaji internationally spreads the message of -’Yog: A life style ‘. I used to think that yoga is boring exercises. However, I have realized that it is not so; Yoga is rather related to our day-to-day life and it is the only solution to our real life problems. It touches all the spheres of life and is beneficial for all of us. It should be done under the guidance of an expert Yoga Instructor. This is what I learnt in the 5-day workshop.

At the beginning of each Yog Session, we chanted mantras led by Pratishthaji to make us calm, peaceful and full of positive energy. Our Yogacharya would say, “Whatever we give to others, comes back to us”. She has deep philosophical knowledge yet she is so childlike. During this short period of time, Yogacharyaji

Vanishing Values

The world is changing very fast which has brought changes in our thinking too. With the discovery of jets and rockets, people are making

everything in their life jet–quick even when there are little things that we need to pay attention to.

There are differences in how we show our patriotism. People do not care to keep their arms straight or their head high while the national anthem is being played. There are even those who consider national holidays as general holidays, on which they simply pass time by watching movies or sleeping.

There are only a few people who actually know their country and are proud of it. Our history is replete with the valour and sacrifice of many heroes. But people are not interested in discovering their own culture and heritage! They are interested in aping the western culture. Forgetting our simplicity, they

are attracted towards fake things. “My country is the best” – is a slogan few people will speak out with pride in their hearts.

Wherever we are, we find people speaking ill about politics. No one has interest in the political system. Though everyone has had enough of this nonsense, no one has the guts to come forward and bring about changes. Actually, we should not expect these things from others. It is for us to take responsibility. However, my suggestion is–believing in utopian concept does not help. One should be prepared to do everything to usher in the change he/she wants to see. Especially, teenagers who are considered to be future heroes should be willing to take up their responsibility. Indeed, it takes a lot of courage to protect and cherish our rich heritage.

In conclusion, I have a suggesion – “Think about it and take the baby steps towards your vision.”

bonded with us and came really close to each one of us-observing us minutely and guiding accordingly. She not only made us perform different yogic exercises but also gave solutions to many of our problems. She also set a benchmark of moral values and valuable teachings that can bring positive and constructive changes in each one of us. Understanding Yog, the union of mind, body and soul; and discovering the real ‘me’ was enjoyed by all of us. Almost everyone present in the session must have at least become aware of his/her potential. The best part of the whole workshop was the meditation time. I don’t know what Yogacharyaji did or how it was done but she would each time take us to a whole new world which was serene and peaceful, very different from the world we live in. It definitely helped me find the extraordinary ‘real me’ inside an ordinary girl. This whole experience was totally different from what we come across in our everyday life and I think that this wouldn’t have been so much effective, exciting as well as enthralling if Pratishthaji would have not guided us the way she did . We fervently hope to meet her again and I feel immense gratitude to have had such a wonderful experience.Soni Prabhakar – XI

Head Boy SpeaksA school is a place where education is a fine balance of modernity and conventional norms, a hub where students from different parts of the world are nurtured and encouraged to have a deep sense of responsibility. Whenever we face challenges it takes mental toughness to endure but you need to plan for the best and be prepared for the worst. Expect surprises but continue to move forward any way.

Do something that would show a caring and respectful gesture to your role models. Always give more than what you get. Have self – confidence, be creative, be motivated and act consciously. Here in CSKM we have all been trained to excel and simply be the best. I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to all the CSKM faculty members for assigning me the responsibility of the school captain. I will do my best, I quote Shiv Khera - “Winners don’t do different things, but they do things differently”. It would be my earnest endeavour to do my part with a deep abiding involvement and commitment.

A Visit to Nift!!!

It is truly said that many a times how things appear to the society, it isn’t the same as it actually is. The same is the situation in the field of ‘Fashion

Technology’ in our society. It’s often referred to as a field to distract a student from the ‘thought to be’ prestigious goals of life, but that isn’t the case. To know about the actual hard work, creativity, passion, courage and confidence needed to excel in such a field, we need to explore it more deeply. And such an opportunity was provided to the students of our school by getting us a chance to visit one of the leading institutes of Fashion Technology in our country, i.e. ‘National Institute of Fashion Technology’, in an open house programme. We all had many doubts and queries in our minds regarding what we were actually going to see, but once we entered and started our tour of the campus, all the confusion and doubts were dispelled. We were all taken to the labs of each and every course offered by them. The best creations from each of their departments were on display.

Trust me! We all were literally mesmerized by just having a first look at them. The students who were volunteering in their respective sections were confidently briefing us about their beautiful work. Very soon we all realized that there is much more to Fashion technology than just glamour. There are deep thoughts and analysis behind it, they take care of people’s mindsets and look into these matters with so many perspectives that our society will take time to understand. Especially a compulsory 15 week visit to and interaction with artisans from all over

Head Girl Speaks ‘Hard work: The only key to success’

Friends, we all want to be successful in our lives but unfortunately it is not a cup of tea which can be sipped with ease. For this we have to struggle very much in our life. The only key which can unlock the gate to success is hard work.

There is nothing that we can’t achieve with this tool i.e. hard work. Even if we do not have a very sharp mind, we can still enhance its brilliance by toil and hard work. I agree that we can’t change our destiny but I’m sure that we can make it better with perseverance and sincerity that we possess, consistently working towards our goals.At last I wish to quote a few lines which I hope will make a difference in your life too.

the country – a must for each student wherein students learn from the craftsmen and give back in terms of giving suggestions for their products to be more viable for the market. Now, to continue with the tour, we were shown a variety of sophisticated machines that are used for different purposes - right from stitching to packaging – and all on a conveyor belt.

Towards the end, we were shown a presentation made by the faculty and students of NIFT. During the discussion of the admission procedure and future in various courses we were urged by them to give wings to our dreams if we felt that we had the creativity required in this field. At last, I just wish to say on behalf of XII standard students that - ‘It Indeed was worth a day out’.

How to Overcome Stage Fear

Stage fear is a normal feeling of nervousness that a person feels while performing before an audience. It is pertinent to mention here why the stage is

perceived to be so frightening to many people! I think it is lack of preparation before going on to the dais; and lack of confidence may be due to maiden performance, shyness or introvert nature etc. To overcome stage fear, the first thing one should do is to prepare oneself thoroughly, completely and overwhelmingly and acquire mastery over the material content before going to stage. Much of the fear comes from thinking that we might commit a mistake while performing or making a speech before the audience. The performer or the speaker should think that he is wiser, competent and more knowledgeable than the audience sitting before him/her. The other way is practice. This is the best way to gain confidence in order to control stage fear. It would be better if a performer practices four to five days before actually going to stage.

POSITIVE THOUGHTS: The performer should stop thinking that he is not going to perform well. Motivate yourself with positive thoughts often and tell yourself from time to time that YOU CAN DO IT. IMAGINATION: The performer should practice and rehearse a number of times before a mirror. Listen to your own speech and words carefully and then imagine a flawless performance.

PARTICIPATE IN ACTIVITIES: The easiest way to eliminate stage fright is to be involved in various activities like projects, group songs, sports, group reading and discussions etc that include speaking before a number of people to build confidence and courage step by step. There are some other factors also which can help overcome stage fear like focusing on your powerful experiences, controlling tension, always being cheerful, energizing oneself and thinking that ‘I am my own critic’, etc. In conclusion, I would like to say that knowledge is important and having a strong hold on your subject gives a lot of confidence to the performer. Once you are on the stage, it is you who is going to take charge of the situation and not the audience sitting before you.

Dr Parvez Alam, HOD – English

Face to Face with Dr Howard Gardner

Once in a lifetime opportunity for us the Principal, Dr Shakuntla S Jaiman, Mr S K Thakur, Ms Yeshi Choedon, Ms Shilpi

Sharma and I to be amongst those in India who saw and listened to the legendary professor of Cognitive Psychology (Harvard Graduate School of Education), Dr Howard Gardner on India Tour. The historic day was 7th February, 2012 and the venue, Talkatora Indoor Stadium.

Dr Gardner, ‘Father of Multiple Intelligences’ has redefined the meaning of intellect in his own life time. His theory was conceived of as a contribution to Psychology but its greatest influence has been in education. Dr Gardner emphasized on Leadership, Creativity and Good work as he firmly believes that the goal of education is to help people use their minds better, to think about what is true in the world and what is not...what is ethical and what is not.

I quote Dr Gardner, “I think that the ideas Mahatma Gandhi developed about how human beings relate to one another, what people do when they do not agree about things, about what kind of stance that you have to be prepared to take in terms of your value system – incredibly important but it will probably take a long period of time to see whether or not the Gandhian ideas take hold both in Asia and the rest of the world”.

Well, that is a lot to ponder over and the implications are indeed profound.

Every individual has his or her own views, understanding and ways of doing things. What, when and how he or she puts them into effect is

determined by his aptitude and attitude. It is said that you need aptitude and attitude to achieve (A+A+A)!

We must have proper aptitude and the right attitude to achieve in our endeavours. There must be keen desire to put in the right amount of effort, application and intention. Our pursuits must be guided by a sense of meaningful purpose, knowing what is required and what role to play in achieving whatever task we undertake.

If we go astray or if we waver, it is because we deviate from the right path by succumbing to diversions and distractions. It is paramount that we orient ourselves to the call of duty and act according to the prevailing situations and circumstances. We must adopt positive thinking and stand by our convictions. We must be focussed and have complete control over our actions to be on the right track. We must not waver in sincerity of purpose, motivation and determination if we want to succeed in the discharge of our duties and responsibilities entrusted to us, as students and as teachers in shaping the future careers.

If you have the right attitude, you will feel good and derive enormous satisfaction in anything and everything you do. Maintaining the right attitude is nothing short of bringing into play your true potential and being true to yourself with a total sense of involvement and commitment. You assume responsibility and maintain restraint and circumspection where necessary and

are willing to put in that extra effort in pursuit of self satisfaction of doing or having done a job well - to the best of your ability, competence and knowledge.

As teachers and students we go through the routine day in and day out. As teachers we are there to guide, direct and teach and facilitate the students in their academics and curricular activities. Both the teachers and the students must have the right attitude if this interaction is to be meaningful and purposeful. Lack of conviction and the right attitude will allow drudgery and monotony to creep in and we will falter along. Right attitude will enable us to be creative, innovative and keep up the urge to explore better and more effective methods of the teaching and learning process.

The purpose of my article on “ATTITUDE” will be amply served if we strive on in achieving excellence and in upholding and maintaining the honour, prestige and the reputation of our institution by being true to our declaration “doing the right thing, at the right place and time and in the right manner” - in short, adopting and practising the RIGHT ATTITUDE. As an institution we follow traditions and have cultivated a certain culture of our own – unique in many aspects – which we must assiduously preserve.

As teachers and as students we should be proud of and owe allegiance to our institution and be imbued with the spirit ‘we can’ and ‘we will’ attitude!

a) Like car accidents most hardware problems are due to driver error.b) Unix is user friendly, its just very selective about who its friends arec) The internet is a place where men are men, women are men and children are FBI agents.d) If at first you don’t succeed – call it version 1.0.e) Artificial intelligence usually beats natural stupidity.f) Treat your PASSWORD like your toothbrush. Don’t let anybody else use it and get a new

one every six months.g) Experts agree that the best type of computer for your need comes in market about two

days after you purchase one for yourself.h) To go FORWARD you must Backup.i) If you give someone a PROGRAMME you will frustrate them for a day.

Being Honest“Honesty is to tell the Truth”If you find a beautiful watch in the school playground.Nobody sees you picking up the watch.Will you give it to your teacher?If your answer is yes, you are honest.Children, we must always be truthful to ourselves.When we tell the truth, it gives us peace of mind.And our parents feel proud of us.We become a good person.And God is happy with us.

All of us make mistakes. We must not hide them but speak the truth. Once the truth is spoken we feel good.If your teacher has given you homework and you are not able to complete it, do not lie. When we tell one lie, we may have to tell one more lie to cover it and then the third lie and so on. At last the truth will emerge. We will feel ashamed of ourselves for telling lies. God wants us to be honest in whatever we do and say. When we speak the truth people will trust us. If our friend lies to us all the time, will we trust him? We must make our teachers proud by being honest with the work they have given us. When we do something wrong we are afraid to tell anyone.. We cover it up by telling lies. This hurts them. But if we tell the truth everybody will forgive us.

NowI knowthe subtle differencebetweenholding a handand chaining a soul.The power of winning wind, and the fear oflosing.Holding the head highIn defeatand acceptingit withGraceand not thegrief ofa child,Acknowledging the win with a smileand the power of a woman.

So nowI plant mydreams,decorate themwith rainbows.Instead ofwaiting for someoneto fulfill mywishesnow I knowwhat I can endure.That I amreally strongand dohave worthwith every stepI learned.

One message you would like to convey to us

J P UPADHYAY

Ans

It has provided us enriched environment conducive to strive for excellence and to aim for perfection in every sphere of life through adaptive and positive behavior.

Change is the law of nature. Nothing is static in this ever changing dynamic, self sustaining nature. Children now perceive themselves as participants in learning and not just as receivers of a fixed body of knowledge.

Our founder Chairman Col P S Satsangi for his visionary, brilliant thinking and matchless legacy.

“My name is Kalam”

Concept of Cooperative learning programmes, total personality development and Every child a winner.

Any change which is introduced with an ultimate aim for amelioration over the existing one should be accepted despite inherent constraint.

Yes, the attitude does change but it is because of their Cognitive, Affective, Psychomotor Physical and social development.

We adopt an integrated approach of a variety of methods and a scientific analysis of all the facts, making sure that child’s stay in our presence is a happy experience and not a source of stress or boredom.

6-8, regular sports activity builds character, fosters discipline, develops agility, strength and endurance, improves eye and hand coordination, brings about punctuality and regularity.

To be able to recognize that in the given space, time and freedom, children generate new ideas and knowledge by engaging with the information passed onto them by adults.

Strive to leave every place a little better than you found it and there is great strength as well as sweetness in Humility.

SUDARSHAN SINGH MIYAN

Ans

CSKM believes “every child is a winner” and our school is dedicated to give education to all students without any discrimination.

Yes, students are more inclined to the latest technology such as mobile phones and internet. I think there is a need to develop more personal interaction between teachers and students; and parents and their children.

R K Ojha Sir, (Fine Arts Teacher), I have never seen such level of dedication to one’s work in any teacher.

I will correlate students of our school with the movie ‘Taare Zameen Par’ All students have some skills of practical life. They may or may not be good in academics.

Every child is treated as a winner, Focus is on all round Personality development and Development of Problem solving skills among students.

Yes, shirts, pants, skirts, ties etc in brighter colours may be chosen. Such as light blue shirt, and navy blue pants or skirts. The students will look more attractive and smart.

Yes, to some extent, because students pass from childhood to adolescent stage and change in attitude in a natural process.

I believe in “Love and Affection” which is the strongest tool to solve any problem in this world. I am always a winner in guiding all the students in the right direction, using this inexhaustible tool.

8, because healthy mind resides in a healthy body.

I always see a small kid within myself. I feel young and energetic due to always being with students, which is not possible in any other profession for an individual.

The only message I wish to convey is that the school should continue to follow the philosophy of our Founder Chairman in its true sense, because our Founder Chairman was a pioneer, yet unsurpassed, in the field of education.

RAJBALA SHARMA

Ans

Ours is ‘A school with a difference.’ Every child here is special and free to express his/her views. We believe in producing future problem solvers and not facility enjoyers.

To some extent yes. They are more independent and exposed to their environment. They have a mind of their own.

Ma’am Abha Chandra. I have seen her working with dedication and full enthusiasm.

‘Chak Dey’

Student Teacher friendly relationship, Congenial Environment and Free access to the Principal

Yes, infact we can have more colourful uniforms. Different house uniforms may be considered.

Yes they do change. They do respect us but refrain from expressing it. The Primary section certainly displays a more protective environment.

I am used to it. Actually …….you know experience counts.

8, and especially girls should take part in sports activities.

I love being with and around children. I feel energetic; forget all my worries, am thrilled and feel young always.

Our Chairman Sir always emphasized that “Every Child is special and deserves the best education” so my loving children, be focused!. A right blend of hard work, determination, luck and blessings work up a magic. Have faith in the Almighty!.

MONIKA SACHDEV

Ans

It’s a place that accepts everybody who steps in the campus; that helps me to identify my worth.

Children have gained confidence and are happier, excited and outgoing.

Ma’am Yeshi and the way she handles her duties and responsibilities with ease.

“Muquaddar Ka Sikandar.” Children from all walks of life come and excel.

Clean, green, safe environment …….so close to nature.

Yes, I am in favour of using brighter colours.

Yes they start taking advantage of the independence they suddenly get exposed to.

‘Dil to Baccha hai jee’…… The kid in us is always there to have fun.

10, as sports encourage discipline, teamwork and taking loss in stride.

After hard work of an year when a child shows results, improvement.

I believe that MY WORD CREATES MY WORLD. When I say I am happy, I am happy. When I say I am satisfied, I am.

MADHU KAPOOR

Ans

Here we believe “Every child is a Winner”.

Yes, they have become more aware

Ma’am Principal

‘Jo Jeeta wohi Sikandar’

Green, Pollution – free environment, Healthy food at regular intervals and great dedicated teachers.

Yes, as soon as possible. A smart T-Shirt (Which looks better if kept out)

Yes, certainly. It’s a part of their growing up.

We give plenty of activities to keep them busy in groups, optimal use of resources like library, language lab and computer lab etc.

8, they learn discipline and co-operation.

Everyday we learn something new from these kids.

Learning has no end, be a keen learner.

DanceAbraham Lincoln once said –

“Thousands of emotions well up inside me throughout the day. They are released when I dance”.

“The most important thing in dance is devotion. The willingness to the labour that makes the class work of an hour and a half fun”.

I got an opportunity to be a part of SHIAMAK DAVAR contemporary dance group. I attended a workshop and learnt a routine (dance) on “Om Namah Shivayei” Mantra.

I got the opportunity to perform with the group at Siri Fort Auditorium on 16th June, 2012. It was a great learning experience for me.

I also got an opportunity to work with children when I conducted a workshop on dance and drama in summer. The children performed on various bollywood numbers and also presented a drama at school auditorium in Neb Sarai. Primary section CSKM also learnt bollywood bhangra and performed it in front of family and friends in school on 30th May, 2012.

So, this summer vacation I was very busy like a “BEE” and enjoyed each and every moment.
