More Than Four Seasons

All of us are familiar with the four cardinal seasons of: Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter. We Indians have been using these seasons since the 16th or 17th century, and we know exactly when these seasons occur and what they represent. However, the world is vast and home to a multitude of diverse cultures; as a result, the paradigm of seasons celebrated varies between cultures

Japan had twenty four different seasons and seventy two micro seasons each lasting just a few days! during ancient times. These fascinating seasons had names such as “mist starts to linger,” “first lotus blossoms,” and “deer shed antlers”; each of them supposedly symbolised a significant event at a point in time. India, too, celebrated Spring and Pre Winter in the past. But due to cultural developments, we no longer celebrate them in today’s world.

Thailand’s season system comprising merely three seasons Wet Season, Cool Season, and Hot Season may appeal to minimalists They may be further exhilarated to indulge the pattern of seasons observed in the Arctic and Antarctic: both these regions only experience two seasons throughout the year, and each of them lasts for six months! Polar day marks the first season wherein the Sun remains adamant and doesn’t set for six months, followed by Polar night wherein the Sun hides elsewhere and does not rise for six months.

Diversity in culture also brews different perceptions of seasons. While most of us may perceive winter as gloomy and sad, there are others who consider it a time for celebration. So, the next time you feel sad or lonely on a rainy day, try to change your perception of the season by thinking about how other cultures see it. You might find yourself growing enticed to learn more about the world around you consequently!

Culture

What is culture? Culture is a reflection of our beliefs and values. Our cultures all vary; you could be a Hindu or I could be a muslim. Culture is shared between a group of people. Cultures can also be switched, like how I could go from Hindu to Jain. But, it is important to understand that our culture doesn't define us, our actions and thoughts do.

Amala

On the eve of the 15th, there was an uncontrolled gush of blood and a sense of delight in my heart as I completed the final chapter of ‘Discovery of India’ by Jawaharlal Nehru- the first Prime Minister of India. It was an indescribable experience which I would term as obeisance towards my country and the affection and love induced by the nation’s 75 glorious years of liberty and self governance.

To add to my joy, the school bolstered the legendary past by asking students to hold the symbol of the nation above their heads, allowing them to feel the vibes of Independence Day and have a sense of pride towards their motherland during the grand finale of our celebrations.

As for our programs on the 15th, we began with the flag hoisting, followed by speeches by our President and Vice President, leading to a variety of performances in a wide array of languages. It was no less than a dream to witness and cherish students from across the school exhibiting their patriotism through various artistic mediums: ‘Vande Mataram’ performed by Grades 9,10 and 12, ‘Rang de Basanti’ - releasing a melange of colours and poetic verses about India into the hearts of millions and making us feel a sense of belonging, ’Pagdi Sambhal Jatta’ walking us through the past and making us reminisce the contributions of freedom fighters, and finally, ‘Tere Mitti Mein Mil Jawa’ giving us a glimpse of the contributions of the Sikhs. Students were also encouraged to reflect on their idea of India while considering its heterogeneity and vastness and consequently, write about the achievements of India, its improvements, and its future.

In conclusion, through this Independence Day, I got more connected to my country and understood its significance better. As I see a group of children lost in the tunes of Kathak, see a group of singers rendering a Raga and performing an Alapana, and a woman performing a Kuchipudi concert, I am connected back to the idea of how my country can make me comprehend art.

JAI HIND!

Our chief guest for the occasion was Ms Manju Mehra a traffic warden who has brought a smile to the faces of many a Bangalorean; who has contributed to society immensely through her munificent actions. I am truly moved by her willingness to serve the people and act as an inspiration for future generations.

OBSTACLES

Terrible Bangalore weather forced us to switch to online school for a week, preventing our Teacher's day celebrations. That didn’t stop us though. We managed to split the teacher’s day event into two parts--PP & PYP grades, and MYP & IBDP grades. Despite having a busy schedule, the student government with the help of our teachers managed to find time to host the event, which was short but heartwarming for everyone.

EVENTS

First, an intricately crafted poem by Srihita about teachers, and what they mean to us, set the mood for the rest of the event. We then had an exhilarating electric guitar performance by Armaan from M4. This was followed by the main event of the day; the student government called up teachers to stage, and presented them with certificates containing specialized messages. And every time a teacher was called up on stage, there was a unanimous eruption in the crowd with clapping, cheering, and whistling. It was certainly an emotional, and fun, ceremony.

We concluded the event with heartfelt, personal messages from a couple of individual students to their favorite teachers. They talked about how much these teachers meant to them and how they helped with the student’s own personal journey. It was a very raw moment that we rarely see and often forget to cherish in today's world.

Teacher’s day is memorable for both teachers and students alike. Teachers get to take a break from their hardworking jobs, and the students get to plan something special for them. As a result of the pandemic, this ended up being our first offline teacher’s day in 2 years. The student government organized a day of events for the entire school.

Teachers provide the power of education and the possibility for a better future. They challenge us, guide us, and ultimately help us achieve our highest potential. They are the pillars of society without which our heritage would start and stop with the present, and this event, letting them know how appreciated they are, was truly a memorable experience.

Investiture Ceremony

Article by Dhivya Iyer, M5 EVENTS

There are few things as nerve wracking as standing up in front of a crowd, filled with your parents and teachers, swearing that you will do your level best to look after the needs and wishes of over a thousand students, all of whom are watching you. This is what our student government did on August 4th, at Silver Oak’s Investiture Ceremony 2022.

RESPONSIBILITIES

The ceremony started off with the lighting of the lamp by our principal and director, followed with musical performances by Grade Six students; including Feeling Good by Michael Bublé, leaving everyone, well, feeling good. The main event consisted of the captains and vice captains leading the prefects of the four houses in a march up the red carpet, to receive a badge, a sash, and a letter of appointment. The school president and vice president were next, leading the core student government: the captains and vice captains of every house, the chief editor of the school magazine, and the sports captain. Having received the customary badges and sashes, the title holders were presented with their letters of appointment. The entire student government stood united to take the oath, swearing to look after the members of the school and houses, and to be the best leaders they could be for the school. In addition, as a pleasant surprise, the title holders were presented with business cards, stating their names and positions.

Being chosen for the post of a member of the student government means the entire school has their eyes on you: on the way you talk, act and speak. There’s an enormous amount of responsibility given to you the moment you take the oath. The student government chose to step up to bear this weight with the same fervour with which the students had chosen them.

BEHIND THE SCENES

A lot of planning and work was involved, which went on for over a month. It wasn’t as easy as just collecting donations from the generous students of Silver Oaks, and dumping them on tables for people to pick up and take away I wish it were that simple. The key to our success was planning and coordination. Roles were assigned to different people resource estimation, coupon managing, distribution, poster making, store set up etc.

Street Store

Article by Amodi Kulkarni, DP1

I’m sure you ’ ve heard the words “Street Store” before; you ’ ve heard about it from your teachers and the DP students. But you ’ ve probably only heard of the end results that the members of our local community benefited greatly from our endeavours. You might not have heard of all the work done backstage. Well, I’m here to give you the inside scoop on the Street Store.

TIMELINE

We started by sorting the donations in a variety of categories clothes, books, toys, stationery, bags, and more. We designed and printed coupons to hand out on the big day, to ensure smooth distribution of items. We made posters and announcements to let our fellow students know when the Street Store was being held, and what they could donate.

On the eleventh of September, Sunday, we opened the gates of Silver Oaks to our local community. We arranged the segregated donations on tables, manned the stalls, and prepared to experience, firsthand, the joy of giving. Three overwhelming, yet delightful hours later, the tables were empty. Nearly everything that had been donated was gone, off to a place where it would be put to much better use. It had been a whirlwind of activity, and watching our hard work come to fruition brought with it a certain kind of satisfaction which is, in all honesty, rather difficult to achieve. And achieve it we did. Ecstatic with our success, we could check off Street Store 2022 from a long list of our accomplishments.

I believe that an expression of gratitude is in order. Thank you, students of Silver Oaks, for your philanthropic donations towards a noble cause, changing many lives for the better. Thank you, teachers and support staff, for guiding us through this wonderful journey, and for showing your unwavering support. And finally, thank you, fellow DP students, for spearheading this project, making a difference where it matters, and most importantly, for showing up on the eleventh--Imagine going to school on a Sunday.

Good Habits Festival

Article by Charvi Pallakuru, DP1

“Good Habits Festival” is a day to celebrate and work on our good habits, over the not so Good Habits in our life. It provides the opportunity to reflect and correct our bad habits, for a more positive and efficient approach to daily life tasks.

Sticking to the school motto of ”character before competence”, acorns are encouraged to develop their characters by working towards a better lifestyle.

EVENTS THE BIG SHOW

This year on Friday, 21st October, the entire school celebrated the “Good habits festival” with festivities and joy. The day commenced with acorns entering the premises in bright and colorful ethnic wear, and a morning assembly to start the fun filled day. Later on, the entire school once again gathered in the green meadows, to burn their not so good habits along with a statue of Ravana to symbolize the triumph of good over bad. To celebrate, teachers and students danced to upbeat songs as an annual tradition of Silver Oaks.

Throughout the day, acorns gathered in the multipurpose hall to watch a variety of performances. Acorns showcased their talents in the "Lost in Motion” and “Battle of the Bands” competitions. Additionally, teachers and acorns joined in to show off their dance moves, sing songs and explain the value of good habits. The event was delightful and enjoyable, as we witnessed some extraordinary dances and music, and clapped along to the performances.

As the cherry on top of this wonderful day, acorns danced to their favorite songs before departing for the holidays.

Season Depression [SAD]

Have you heard of something called winter blues? It’s something many are affected by; they feel under the weather in winter months. This, however, is a milder version of SAD Seasonal Affective Disorder (commonly known as seasonal depression) a form of depression impeding your daily activities and thereby your life. Individuals not afflicted with other mental health disorders exhibit symptoms of SAD with changes in seasons and weather

Symptoms of SAD surface when winter commences, and resolve as the seasons change into spring and summer. There have also been rarer cases where SAD manifests during summer and spring months, and resolves during fall and winter.

Common symptoms of SAD include: sleeping too much, little energy, loss of interest, heightened anxiety, and more. Young adults, women, and people with other mental disorders/illnesses are at higher risk of having SAD.

Studies have proven that extreme weather changes, into colder weather especially, have an impact on our temperament; it affects our moods and perspective. People tend to stay inside more often, detaching from daily activities, leading to isolation, followed by loneliness, and eventually depression. Reduced exposure to sunlight warranted by staying home disrupts our internal clock and can affect serotonin levels Other examples of weather affecting your mental health is humidity, which has been proven to increase sleepiness and lower concentration.

We have established that natural disasters such as droughts and floods, as well as phenomena such as heavy rainfall, raise our anxiety levels which is in turn associated with symptoms of depression and PTSD. Therefore, seasons and the weather do have an impact on our mental health.

It's important to note that while SAD may seem similar to depression, they are quite different. We must address this. With the recent Bangalore and Kerala floods, and the beginning of fall and winter months, SAD is something that more awareness needs to be raised on. Should you find yourself regularly experiencing symptoms of SAD, consult a mental health professional and seek diagnosis to receive timely treatment and care.

e had our share of petty disputes, y faded away in the forest profoundly. n the woods, chasing after you, no class Wasn't that a lot of fun? g under the trees and through the long grass, But all of that is now done.

Those days slipped away, one and left me with nothing but a box of memories

Shrruti Ramanan Bharatnatyam

The sun glistens brightly on the ground, The sound of anklets fills the air around.

She moves her hands gracefully and fast, As her feet tap along to the rhythm swift

The music sings of “tats” and “thams” And the teacher speaks of posture and calm.

She jumps and twirls, Her smile similar to a bright pearl.

Knees bent, Feet forming a V, Her dancing is a pleasant sight to see.

As she moves Neatly to the beat, You can hear the light tapping of her feet

It takes a lot of talent to perform, The art of Bharatanatyam with the right form.

Shriyaa

Seasons

Seasons change, and along with it my mood does too

From happy to grumpy to gloomy to jumpy; the wheels on the old cart across the street, too, get rusty

Summer spreads warmth to everyone And deep inside, our hearts become warmer; as we use the sun's warmth to spread joy to you, to everyone whose lives have become harder.

Autumn, oh autumn, as the leaves fall gently on the ground, Graceful, yet making a beautiful rustling sound

Winter: a wonderful season As the snow falls down all kinds of children make happy sounds: skipping, jumping, and running around.

So, keep your mind away from the hustle and bustle, look outside the window appreciate the view, and forget your troubles.

The creation of the seasons

The ancient Greeks worshipped many gods for many reasons. Most Greek legends incorporate components of fantasy, adventure, and war or violence; however, they were not seen by the Greeks as just exciting fictional tales Many of them were utilised as παραδειγμα (Paradeigma); others were admonitions to humans about conduct the "divine beings" saw as impermissible The Greek gods and goddesses, once in a while, exemplified thoughts or occasions in human existence that are hard to comprehend, like death, life, and growth Or, in this case, seasons

It all started when Persephone, the goddess of fertility and life, daughter of Demeter, the goddess of agriculture, ventured into the Underworld. The almighty Hades, God of the Underworld, was lounging in his palace when a beautiful young woman came into his view Golden locks that swayed like the wind, steps that matched those of feathers, eyes as alluring as the beauty of nature itself. Hades was in love, and he had only just seen her

Persephone, upon first meeting Hades, was intrigued, and slowly, over the time they spent with each other in the Underworld, she began to fall in love with him, and he even more deeply in love with her. Hades treated her like she was his Queen already, and soon, they longed for it to be true

However, all this while; they were in the Underworld, and on the Earth above, Demeter was devastated and in shambles. Crops and lands began to fail on the earth. Harvests couldn’t be made and the earth was completely infertile because Demeter couldn’t fulfil her duties How could she? Her dear, darling daughter was nowhere to be found! Not in the southmost or the northmost corner of the world, not in the sky or the water The world meant nothing if she didn’t have her daughter

Zeus, however, noticed that his offerings had become lesser, and the humans were getting sicker and more desperate. The gods were blamed and he had to find a way to stop it.

He had to strike a deal with

Persephone, Demeter and Hades

Hermes, the messenger of the gods, was immediately called upon He delivered a message: Hades was to try and satisfy Demeter to be allowed to have her daughter as his wife. Out of desperation, Hades tried to trick his Persophone into eating a few pomegranate seeds to fulfil the woman ’ s hunger. Persephone, not falling for his ploy, replied by throwing the seeds on the ground.

“There is no need for the con, ” she said, as they travelled to the earth, to meet with Demeter, “for we are truly in love.” And that meant not that he could dare try to lie to her, or trick her further, in this life or the next, for that would mean dishonesty to the very one he promised to cherish.

Hades, meanwhile, still had to find a way to convince Demeter he and her daughter were in love, but she hated him.

Perhaps: A wager, a compromise.

Persephone gave him the idea. He knew he could trust her, this amazing, breathtaking woman who held his heart in her hands, so he asked to have his wife for half the time every year, for him to cherish and to love and the goddess would return to her mother for the rest. Not a bad deal, Persephone had told him, and it should suffice and satisfy her dear old mother’s wishes

It did. Persephone became Queen of the Underworld, a celestial god; ruling and prospering for eternity Her story, her love, and her decision created the seasons that flow in the world. The cold dark winters and brown autumns when she returned to her husband; the bright green springs and the hot, yellow summers when she was her mother’s Persephone was the reason for the creation of such appreciated moments in time.

Restrictions pertaining to COVID 19 resulted in adolescents engaging in less physical exercise and utilizing screens excessively. Even though we learned a lot, about ourselves and others, throughout these two years, we also missed out on quite a few things, principally in school. We lost the opportunity for physical school activities, especially interschool sports events that a multitude of Acorns took part in. However, we did have inter house sports activities such as Chess, thanks to Basvaraj sir and the whole sports team. But the unquenchable need to compete in physical events and the exigency of winning is never subdued. This academic year, the fire’s raging vigorously in our Acorns, as we reignite their passion for sports with a plethora of inter school activities for all age groups!

Firstly, in July, our acorns bagged multiple wins at the “DPS Inter School Football Tournament” in the “Under 11” and “Under 13” categories! After persevering till the end of the match, regardless of the hurdles they faced, the boys Football team for the “Under 11” category won the “Fair Play” Award. Additionally, our “Under 13” Boys Football team won the “First Runner Up” trophy due to their splendid performance on the field. Not only this, but we ’ ve also got another win coming our way! Duggi Reddy Dhruva Revanth Reddy from MYP 2 Nikola Tesla was declared as the best player of the tournament! Needless to say, all the Acorns did an astounding job and we ’ re extremely proud of them!

Our Acorns In-Game

Before revealing the next event, here’s a short brief about the sport, and how individuals practice it. Wushu is a historic Chinese martial art that is both a choreographed routine and a full contact sport. Competitive Wushu is categorized into two categories: Taolu (forms) and Sanda (sparring). These forms integrate basic movements and the wielding of diverse weapons ranging from wooden sticks to full-blown Chinese straight swords. With sheer dedication, discipline, and tenacity shown in her practice and routines, Mihika of Grade 6 Ramanujan won the Silver Medal in the 21st State Wushu Stick competition!

Moreover, in the month of August, the students participated in several Basketball and Football practice matches with Ebenezer International School, which happened on both campuses. The Girls’ Basketball team won the “Under 14” and “Under 16” age categories. These practice matches were a great window of opportunity to hone our skills and build our collaboration skills with our respective teammates!
