Education can yield
peace and prosperity
only when along with
k n o w l e d g e a n d
information students
are equipped with moral
ideals and spiritual
i ns igh t . Educa t ion
without moral values will
only fashion lopsided
personality who may
become rich in material
possession but will
remain poor in self
understanding , peace
and social concern.
E d u c a t i o n s h o u l d
sensitize the students to
the need of the people
around them. Let me
end with the oft quoted
words of APJ Abdul
Kalam “ Dream, dream,
dream! Conduct these
dreams into thoughts
and then transform
them into action!” Let's
dream for a better
tomorrow .

NEWSLETTERApril to August 2015
Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan's , Vadodara, organized the Investiture Ceremony with the commencement of new academic stsession on 1 April 2015 in the school campus. The student council members who were appointed after a rigorous
selection, were invested with the badges by the Principal Mr. Swapan Mukherjee and senior Co-coordinator Mr. Mayur
Desai. Marking a pious beginning, the ceremony started with a prayer song sung by the teachers of the primary wing,
seeking God's blessings for the newly elected council. After that, Principal and Senior Co-coordinator lighted the
candles of the student council members solemnizing the ceremony, following which the badges were given away to
the students.
The Principal administered the oath of office which was repeated by the council members. Later, the Principal recited
a prayer soliciting God's blessings for the bright future of the newly constituted student body. The Head Boy and the
Head Girl addressed the assembly and put forth their plans and agenda for the year. The ceremony concluded with the
Principal's address wishing the student council good luck and expecting the best from them.
The student council members are now shouldered with the maximum responsibility of maintaining the discipline
and code of conduct among the students. They themselves plan out the arrangements for disciplinary actions. A
commendable effort on their part so far has brought maximum positive results. Thus they imbibe in themselves a
sense of responsibility as well as the leadership qualities. The teachers appointed are ready to assist them when
the need arrives.

During this year the school has so far made few changes in the infrastructural area.
Renovation has been done in the Junior section. Such as rearrangements in the classroom, with new furniture, new
flooring etc. near the classrooms sufficient playing area is arranged with newly painted walls and pathways. This
would attract the students to come to school on regular basis. The colours would capture their attention to come to
school and indeed consider their school as 'a second home'. The Junior section is also fortunate enough to expand its
library with innumerable interesting and informative books. The minds and hearts of the students would thus be now
to a greater extent filled with joy and enthusiasm for learning.
As all of you are aware that Bharatiya Vidhya Bhavan's,
Vadodara has, in the past, always come out with new ideas
and thoughts that were always beneficial to the students in
their career as well as personal upgradation.
During this academic year we have introduced certain
changes in the assembly which we do hope will be of help to
our students.
Teachers are given opportunities to present a talk which is
pregnant with moral values to inculcate the same in the
students. Apart from the above, twice a week English teachers
come up with four new English words along with their
elaborated meanings and pronunciation. The students in turn
are asked to pronounce those words. This invites their
participation and makes them learn those words faster and
thus this informal drill stays in their mind.
"TO IMPROVE is to change, to be perfect is to change often"
NEW & BETTER

Frequently I'm asked to describe my favourite placeThe answer comes and there's a smile on my face- It's a place where dreams come true, A place which is destined only for a few. Where to reciprocate good for every cause Is the preamble of everyone's ethosWhere everyone believes in SERVICE BEFORESELFWhere all stand together cause UNITY IS STRENGTHWhere WISDOM IS COUPLED WITH TOLERANCE To accentuate the greatest performanceWhere the sun of knowledge shines eternally bright To bring us out FROM DARKNESS TO LIGHTWhere everyone can scale the greatest heights As they are taught by gods in disguiseWhere a child enters innocent and naïve And leaves as an asset for the country who thrives This is the place of my delight! With astonishment I'm asked- "What's this place and is it true?" I reply- "Its name is Bhavan's and it's the greatest school" Then I'm asked- "How do you know the Bhavan's you described?" with pride in heart and head raised high I reply "It's my school and I'm a Bhavanite!"
-Jay Parikh, XII C
Imagination, a hidden power
Its like a secret treasure
It's a dream with an open eye.
When imagination becomes bright,
The sun of ideas comes to rise,
This power is going to stay with someone
Even if we die
If the flower of imagination
Is not blooming anymore
It simply indicates that,
the whole world has changed.
Let this lamp remain alight
To keep our world shining bright.
-ArushiAnupam Gupta (Class V B)
Creative SectionI want to ask you a few questions tonight,
I don't know why I am facing a little fright,
But I know that you will make me feel alright,
Because I know that you won't mind.
Yesterday we had the last of exams,
All came out with nice programs,
I asked my friend, in last question what did he wrote,
He replied, all he could rote.
I felt like my heart full of holes,
Eaten up by a number of moles.
This proves to student as a dilemma,
Just like a signal not reaching antenna,
I asked for help from my parents,
They ordered me to just get marks and not warrants.
I wondered if I can identify in anyone my own
reflection.
Was really this the purpose of education?
Luckily to all us weird creatures,
We have our unique teachers,
I asked her-what do we get from education?
She replied-mere satisfaction.
Her answer took me from dark to light,
And ensured that my future remains bright.
I want to ask you a few questions tonight,
I don't know why I am facing a little fright,
But I know that you will make me feel alright,
Because I know that you won't mind.

When opportunity knocks don't hesitate,
Open the door and celebrate.
It may be what you are looking for,
How would you know, if you don't open the door.
When opportunity knocks let it in,
It may bring you a bashful grin.
But if only one side of the door you abide,
How would you know what is on the other side.
When opportunity knocks,
Go in hurry; leave your doubt, fear and worry,
Be sure and let opportunity in
Because opportunity may never knock again.

The grass was wet,
it was the time when we met.
We turned out to be best friends,
& I dont want this fiendship to ever end.
I cant imagine my life without you, You see,
as you are very very special person for me.
I know sometimes things are not fair,
but dear in my heart you are always their.
Oh our stupid fights,
I know its not always that I am right,
but trust me, your turned my life,
from darkness to light.
When I got scared,
You are the only one who cared.
You helped me when things got tough,
we solved them together with a sweet laugh.
You were their to wipe my tears,
and to fight away all my fears.
You made me smile with just a small touch,
at the end, I just want to say,
Dear Thank u so much

Let it be the film 'Koi Mil Gaya' or 'PK', the game 'Alien
Shooter', or 'Saints row 4', they are all created by us, the
humans, on the idea of aliens. The pictures of alien
existence are always viral on internet. We have a strong
belief that, in other planets, in other galaxies, there exist
living beings just like us, or advanced, may be, who come
to visit earth often.
Aliens, what we call them, the word refers to a foreign or
queer object on being. They are believed to land on earth
in their huge Frisbee shaped spaceships, which we call
UFOs(Unidentified Flying Objects). Some believe that
aliens conspire to demolish the earth with their future
weapons, while some believe to befriend them. And
others, who believe to catch them and carry out scientific
research on their existence in large numbers. But, Koi Mil
Gaya was a different film in which Rohit Mehra (Hritik
Roshan) displayed humanity by befriending the alien,
and sending him back to his planet. Recently, the super
hit film PK, starring Aamir Khan, displayed an alien
(A.Khan) who learnt to speak Bhojpuri and several other
things from humans. He also displayed and shared his
idea about God. But during his return, he was found to
have learnt how to lie, from humans.
Whether these beings exist or not, whether they visit us
or not, we, the humans have used the idea of aliens very
innovatively in movies, computer games etc. how these
beings would think, would react, would take action, has
been displayed in different fields of media. In science
fiction books, aliens have the leading role. The people
who use the idea of aliens to convey practical messages
to people, we salute them! The amount of intelligence
they possess has surpassed the most advanced aliens,
because humans can predict the thoughts of the aliens.
If, ever in the future, aliens pay a public visit to the earth,
they would be really fascinated to see their popularity,
even before they came. Unless we kill and capture them,
aliens might contribute hugely to human development.
