Chairman’s Message

Chairman’s Message

One of the problems with our education system is that everyone thinks that she or he has the authority to speak on it. It is true that every parent is the first teacher that a child learns from.

It is a common belief that good education is that which helps to build good character and personality of a child. For Vivekananda, education is a process of “life building, man and woman making and character building”. Today secularism is spreading widely as a global phenomenon in all societies. So far, it concerned mainly the Western society.

As secularism spreads, religious and spiritual values are pushed to the side lines.

Pursuit of knowledge in this competitive world today has become the pursuit of self, power and status. In this pragmatic world, we seem to be losing sight of character building. This has a direct bearing on our country’s social ethos and value system where corruption has become the order of the day at all levels of public life.

It is obvious that our education system has failed to promote and meet spiritual needs. It has failed to mould the character of young people on moral and spiritual values and develop a balanced, well rounded and humane personality.

Loss of character is the loss of the most precious jewel in a person’s life. John Wooden puts it aptly and says, “Ability may get you to the top, but it takes character to keep you there.” The general environment in our society is corrupted. Therefore, it is no more possible to instill a good character among the young by the school alone. The effort of the school, in this regard, has to be complemented by the efforts of parents, officials, political leaders and by our society itself.

From The Principal’s Desk

“Only as high as I reach can I grow, Only as far as I seek can I go, Only as deep as I look can I see, Only as much as I dream can I be”

In Queen Mary School we teach our students to aim for great goals and reach higher, we teach them to reach out far and seek further, we teach our students to introspect and look deeper. In Queen Mary School we teach them to dream and reach out for those dreams.

We transform dreams into reality, thoughts into ideas and ideas into action.

That is the magic of Queen Mary School.

Every year in Queen Mary School we see a vision come alive, touch our lives and transform it in such a way that we are never the same.

The whole purpose of education is to turn mirrors into windows.

Sydney J. Harris

In Queen Mary School we do just that .We turn mirrors into windows; windows through which the soul sees the world, feels the impact and flies with courage to shape the world of their dreams transforming the world and life itself.

The Queen Marian is a joyful journey of life in Queen Mary School . It is a medium by which we share our joys and our tears, our challenges and our vision, our dreams and our achievements, our happiness and our world with you.

This year the vision of Queen Mary School was Incredible India - Its Agony and Ecstasy and our activities have centered around our great country in all her angst and her glory. In this process we have not only learned to perceive her with new respect but also take responsibility for all the shame and degradation she has to endure due to our silence ,our fear and our lacunae.

It has been a year filled with sorrow and joy, triumph and defeat, a year filled with lessons life has taught us . It has been a year where life and the human spirit has faced obstacles and emerged victorious. We look ahead with renewed hope and new life to another wonderful period of imbibing both knowledge and values and acquiring holistic education that will make us better human beings.

DIARY

2014

The Future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.

- Eleanor Roosevelt In Queen Mary School, we teach our students to believe in themselves and in the beauty of their dreams; to believe that with God overhead and the spirit ,belief and passion in their hearts, nothing is impossible.

The Principal’s Diary and the reports record the journey of Queen Marians in the academic year 2014.

Keeping with the theme of the academic year, 'Incredible India', many of the school activities were centered around the theme sketching a moving picture of the nation as seen on the cover page of our magazine. The diverse activities focused on the highs and lows, the ups and downs, the painful and the blissful moments our country has experienced from time to time, fearlessly withstanding the challenges that keep surfacing, reminding its countrymen to awaken, uphold their dignity, strive for excellence and take pride in their rich cultural heritage.

Exhibition Indeed it has been a memorable journey so far. A big thanks to my drawing teacher. He was the one who informed me about the Nehru Art Gallery giving opportunity to budding artists and encouraging me to display my talents. This was a challenging opportunity for me as I had many things clubbed together such as my 80 marks exam and also my elementary exam. I had less time for my submission and so I had to work hard. I had put all my efforts to paint my drawings. The response has been overwhelming. All the love and appreciation from the people has infused a certain burst of energy into me driving me to excel. All the hours of hard work and dedication I took from the brilliant hues on canvas has apparently made my life brighter too. This event wouldn’t have been possible without my parents. They have been my guiding light throughout.

Smt. Prema Tandon

In Memoriam Mrs. L Pereira “She left us peaceful memories,her love is still our guide and though we cannot see her she is always by our side” Mrs. Leena Pereira one of our senior most teachers in the pre –primary department started her career in Queen Mary School as an accountant in the school office.She later on became a pre-primary teacher till her last days.She was always known for her kind,understanding and loving nature. She left us after fighting a battle with breast cancer.We all remember her a lot and she is a person we can never forget.

Smt. Prema Tandon was one of the best Hindi teachers and is remembered with love and respect by all her students. She is admired till date for being a soft spoken and caring colleague.

She was an avid reader and was always in pursuit of higher learning.

Today, as she resides in that special place called heaven, she leaves behind in our hearts wonderful memories which we will cherish and value. She will continue to reside in our hearts forever.

Duhita Save-June 7th 2014

“She’s gone” the message flashed on my mobile.

I reconfirmed the message hoping sincerely that there has been an error.

Time stood still for the longest time ever. A knot built up in my chest. I looked up heavenward and asked Jesus ‘Why?’-a question that will remain unanswered……

A hundred needles seem to pierce my body as I tried to come to terms with the truth.

My Duhita was lost forever……

The empty desk in my class (7A) screams out for Duhita. I can see her sitting at the desk with her twinkling eyes and ever smiling face. She is there with her passion and eagerness to learn, her willingness to try anything and everything new.

The image of Duhita on the sports ground dances in front of my eyes. A born sportsperson, Duhita was very good at chess and carrom. A spirited athlete, Duhita ran bare-feet to win it all.

The box of paints-a riot of colors stands still….waiting for Duhita to bring the canvas to life. A thousands of words remain unspoken. I am sure she is busy painting the skies. Those stupefying colours you see in the sky are her handiwork.

A Bible verse comes to my mind-“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.”

Duhita lived and she lived well-she didn’t just exist. I’ve gained so much from her, learnt so much, amassed a treasure that no book or anything for that matter can give.

I’ve learnt that persistence will always be rewarded.

I’ve learnt that I must put my heart and soul in all I do.

I’ve learnt that I must live every single day as if there is no tomorrow.

I thank God that He brought Duhita in my life- she is a part of me forever. What Duhita is to me is indescribable……

1. Traffic Park and Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya The PPD went for a field trip to the Traffic Park and the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya (Prince of Wales Museum) on 3rd April 2014.

We left school at 9 am after assembly. The children were settled in the bus and offered snacks and frooti. On our way we sang a number of nursery rhymes. We showed the children many places like the Churchgate Station, Oval Maidan, Rajabhai Towers and Cooperage ground. On reaching the Traffic Park the traffic policeman explained the traffic rules and showed the children different traffic signs on the board. The traffic park is a model of a road where the policeman practically showed the children how to obey the traffic rules. We left the traffic park at 10:30 am to visit the museum.

We reached the museum at 10:45 am and the children were lined up and taken inside to see the museum. They were excited to see the models of different birds, sea creatures, animals and reptiles.

Some animals looked so real that the children were surprised to know that it was artificial.

We left the museum by 12:30. Children were given snacks in the bus and we returned to school at 1:15pm with happy memories.

We reached the zoo by 10:15am .As we entered the zoo the children were happy to see the different animals like Elephant, Hyena, Hippo, Monkeys, Crocodiles, Alligators, African birds, Cranes, Snakes and Deer. They were amazed to see the bats hanging upside down from the trees. Children played for a while at the zoo play area and photographs were clicked. we then left the zoo for the Fire Station. At the fire station the children saw the fire men dressed in their uniforms with oxygen cylinders. They explained the children how the fire is put off and how to protect themselves from fire. The children were also shown different types of fire engines and explanation was given about each of them. The children enjoyed the session and were excited to see the fire station.

We then left for school with ever lasting memories.

The children were ushered into a mini auditorium where a lovely animated movie was shown on the conception of the factory and the products they manufacture. The movie took us inside the various sections of Parle G and showed how the confectionary and biscuits are made. After the movie they were given few biscuits to eat and were then taken in to see the factory. The children saw how cheeselings and Monaco biscuits were made and transported from conveyor belt to the packing machine. The children were so excited and eager to see the biscuits which were being made. The girls went back with happy memories and a packet of glucose biscuit gifted by the Parle-G Company.

TODAY’S MENU - EAT IT OR STARVE !

In today’s time, junk food has taken over the healthy diet. This is exactly why we teachers thought of celebrating a healthy day in school. The main idea behind this event was to inculcate healthy eating food habits among the children.

The food fiesta was held on 11th September’14 in the Lambert hall. The mothers of KG & TRANSITION section had prepared some very delicious and healthy snacks and drinks for the children.

Innovative ideas were on display and enthusiasm was at its peak. There was a wide variety of colourful snacks like ‘Tricolour Idlis’, Tiranga lifafa’, ‘oat lollipop’, ‘mini pav bhaji burgers to name a few. Some tangy drinks like Mohjito, mix fruit punch ,mint water and melon juice were also served.

Mother’s magic was very evident as they paid attention to the minute details with regards to presentation and the nutritive value. The food fiesta was a grand success and the children enjoyed it immensely.

ANNUAL DAY Queenie TV presents - “Celebrations on Earth”. Yes, this was the theme of the PPD annual day for 20142015. It was yet another blockbuster with every child of PPD department up on the stage in some or the other role. While our comperes mesmerized the audience as aliens coming down on earth in an extra ordinary spaceship, the dancers and the gymnasts did some wonderful presentations too. The fillers with Amitabh Bachchan KBC act, the fun singing choir, the ramp-walking brides of India were truly a candy to the eye! Little angels from nursery were a joyful sight performing on some memorable children movies such as Barbie and Lion King .We saw the dreams in the eyes of our young girls as they pepped up on ‘Papa kehte hain bada naam karega!’

All in all it was a day to remember!

‘Impressions’-2014 This world is but a canvas to our imagination.

True to this saying, Queen Marians have always excelled in art, be it in our Annual Art Festival 'Impressions' or in other Interschool and International Events .

This year we were privileged to express our ideas through our drawings which were made by listening to Dutch and Indian music. It was an amazing experience for our students to draw while listening to music and the children enjoyed it. The Project also included research on an Indian Artist and to make a Video and a Quiz on the Artist which was a wonderful experience and here the students learned the importance of team work.

As we come to the end of our third successful year at QMS, the experience has been very exciting , fulfilling and enriching.Our vision to make a significant impact on the mental potential of children has been our guiding light through the years.

Senior Section Report

The Argument of the Year The Inter-House Debate Competition for Seniors was held on 27th of June, 2014. The judges for the day were Mr.Anil Bhatia and Mrs. Nikat Azam.

The topic in accordance to the theme of the year ‘Incredible India’ was ‘India is a poor country’.

Darling House and Joan-of-Arc House were in the Opposition and Nightingale House and Cavell House were in the Proposition in the first and second rounds respectively. After three hours of non-stop debating , arguing, ‘ooh’-ing and ‘aahing’, Cavell House was declared the winner .It’s team members consisted of Gauravi Shantaram, Anoushka Jaipuria(Captain), Palak Sheth and Pushtii Parikh. The second place was bagged by Nightingale House, and the third by Darling. The Best Speaker was awarded to Anoushka Jaipuria of Cavell House and the Best Debater to Harshita Patil of Nightingale House. Here is what the Captain of the winning team, Cavell House, had to say about whether India was a rich country or a poor one: “India dreams to develop into a super power ,but this is going to remain just a dream. Super Power?

Ehh, no! It’s more like a super poor nation.

A third of the world’s poor live in India. 41.6% of India’s population is living below the new international poverty line of $1.25(Rs. 75) per day as defined by the World Bank. The yearly income earned by an individual in India is the lowest when compared with people living in Brazil, Russia, China and South Africa. At 1.27 billion, India has 17.4% of the world’s population ,but 33% of the world’s poor,37%of the world’s illiterate and 33% of the world’s malnourished children are in India-If this does not represent poverty then what does? Let

Queen Marian 2014-2015

me tell you what does. Look at the quality of air we breathe, water we consume, the soil beneath our feet and the state of our flora-fauna and forests.

The air is thick with smoke and smog ,the water (where ever available) is full of filth and the soil beneath our feet is polluted with overuse of fertilizers and is depleting fast, plant and animal species are going extinct at an alarming rate and forest cover is disappearing faster than hair on a 70 year old’s head!

The bankruptcy of our value system and basic humanity is a great worry. How do we explain the sickening stories of corruption that we read everyday, the unspeakable horrors that our women undergo everyday, the inhuman brutality meted out to our sister Nirbhaya on the streets of our capital, Delhi?

Something is seriously wrong with our humanity or the very lack of it. Our values and our value system is completely bankrupt. This is the state of our nation after almost 67 years of Independence.

During the British rule, we blamed our foreign rulers for our sorry state. Now, who do we blame? I think, we as a collective nation, have simply lost the will to improve, and this to my mind is the biggest poverty of all-a crushing poverty of the very will to improve and move forward and to eradicate our own poverty.

A Luxurious Culinary Experience

On the 17th of July, the students of Home Science were given an opportunity to visit the Taj Vivanta Hotel and enhance their skill in the field of cookery.

We were really excited for this particular excursion.

We reached the hotel around 9:45 and were welcomed with great warmth.

The Chef at the Taj took us to a banquet hall and all of us got seated. He was friendly and asked us what we wished to learn. We suggested fruit carving, cake decoration, mocktail drinks and salad. He listened to all of us patiently and took us on a visit to the kitchen of the Taj hotel. We saw different kitchens for different cuisines. He informed us about various ways of cooking. When we returned to the hall, we were offered delicious mocktails. Some of them were Mojito, Khus Cooler and Guava Tabasco drink.

Later, he taught us ways to make various drinks as Queen Marian 2014-2015

well as Waldorf salad. At our request, he decorated a chocolate cake which we devoured within no time. He showed us how to carve a papaya, tomato, pumpkin and a watermelon.

I would like to thank Mrs.Choudhary for giving us an opportunity to visit the Taj Vivanta Hotel.

A Celebration of Freedom Independence Day celebrations are held every year. The celebrations remind us of nationalism and patriotism, of which we read only in books.

We remember the freedom fighters and martyrs who gave up their lives so that we could enjoy freedom. On this day, we honour them and their selflessness.

The chief guests this year were Mr. and Dr. Mrs. Ghiara. Mrs. Ghiara gave an awe inspiring speech

about the wonderful day.After Mrs. Ghiara’s speech the school choir sang a patriotic song. The end of the celebration marked a well-prepared karate demonstration, which showed various types of selfdefense manoeuvers. The celebrations ended with chocolates being distributed to all the students. It was a perfect end to a perfect celebration.

Chief Guest’s Speech-August 15, 2014

Respected Principal Ms Mathias, Vice Principals Ms Manickam and Mrs. Ashar, all you wonderful teachers and staff of Queen Mary School, and my dear young ladies gathered here today!

A very Happy Independence Day to you all! I wish to thank you for inviting us and having us in your midst today. You might wonder why I am giving the speech instead of my husband. Well – two reasons.

Firstly, I’m a Queen Marian and secondly, Queen Marians love to talk!!

Today, on this occasion of Independence Day, I take the opportunity to appreciate our great nation. India is the land that has nurtured our hopes, given wings to our dreams, overlooked our flaws, celebrated our success stories and made us inextricably her own – like only a mother can. That is reason enough to love this motherland of ours!

I will not lecture you about the Independence movement and it’s importance – you have a very capable History Department, who will do a far better job than I ever could, so I’ll just share a few thoughts with you!

You, young ladies are India’s future, and you Queen Marians are second to none. From experience, I can say that women from this school are talented, feisty, opinionated and can stand up for themselves and for others. They are diligent, accomplished, charming, ambitious, yet rooted , steadfast and centered around family and friends. To put it simply, YOU are exactly the type of women our country needs today and for her future.

Ishah Taimni 9 Alpha

Each and every one of you here is gifted, but learn to use your gifts wisely and well. Today, you have the latest in technology at your fingertips, but try to make technology work for you, and NOT become a slave to technology. It is sad that the simple skills of communication are being lost in today’s world of internet, tablets and i- phones. Many of you may not agree, but I personally believe that a single hello, handshake or hug means much more than a hundred SMS’s or e mails.

So, on this day I urge you all, that as you step out into the world, reach confidently for the stars, the moon or even the sun, but do so with honesty, dignity, humility and integrity. As you accomplish great things in life for yourselves and your country, remember the values imbibed within these walls - play the game fair and square, always think of ‘Others’ before yourself, maintain the spirit of ‘Fellowship’ binding us all, and have the ‘Courage’ to do and to dare. I have always found these values to support me in my journey of life, and with these values, you can transform our sometimes dusty and dysfunctional India into a land we can be proud of and others can envy.

Let us celebrate 67 years of freedom by promoting a culture in which respect, dignity and equality become a code for living.

Let us cherish being INDIAN !!

Thank you.

Nourishing our intellectual faculties The R.B.I Annual National Quiz was held on the 22nd of August, 2014. We were accompanied by our teacher, Mrs. Fernandes. It was conducted at the Swatantryaveer Savarkar auditorium in Dadar.

This was the first round, at an inter school level.

The quiz was mainly centered on topics such as banking, finance, banking institutions, economics, current affairs, personalities and the Reserve Bank of India itself.

This was the third year of the quiz which was launched in 2012. The age group consisted of

students from forms IX to XII . The winning school from Mumbai was St. Gregorious , Chembur.

The event was very well organized by the R.B.I. Overall, it was an intellectual learning experience.

We got to know so much more about the complexity of the R.B.I and its working. We would definitely recommend each student to take part in this quiz, especially if they hold interest in commerce, economics and finance.

Just Dance!

Let’s Be Well Read For the first term of the past year, Form 10 had undertaken ‘Let’s Be Well Read’ as their SUPW activity. ‘Let’s Be Well Read’ is a foundation which has been started in order to spread awareness about anaemia. We were briefed about the organisation and about anaemia. Anaemia or iron-deficiency is a disease caused by a low RBC count. We were asked for ideas as to how we the students of Queen Mary School, could do our bit for society. We had a variety of options and finally decided on doing a street play. The play was about the symptoms and effects

of anaemia. We also distributed ‘GudNess’ bars which are made of iron-rich constituents like Gud, Nachani and Sesame seeds. We also made charts and banners, in order to spread awareness. We performed at Marine Drive, Gateway of India and Churchgate station on 12th October. It was a very good learning experience, as we made ourselves as well as others aware about the need to combat anaemia.

The Joy of Giving at Tata Memorial Hospital On 16th October 2014 our class 7A prepared around 220 sandwiches. The ingredients were brought by the students and under the guidance of our teacher Ms. Raiborde we accomplished our mission of making 220 sandwiches. We were overwhelmed by all the efforts and were eagerly awaiting our next step. Thereafter, a few students along with few parents drove to the Tata Memorial Hospital.

However, we were disheartened to see the patients in pain. There was a long queue of small children

waiting in the scorching heat to be treated. We were granted permission from the administrative department of the Tata Memorial Hospital to distribute the food. We had mixed emotions of pleasure and grief. We were very happy to bring a smile on each patient’s face. This day will remain memorable forever. This Diwali was indeed a very special one because I learnt the joy of giving and helping.

The Guide Camp was organized for the students of form eight at the Ambivali village on 19th and 20th October 2014 (2 days and 1 night). The students along with their teachers left early morning from school and reached the village by 10 a.m. On reaching the venue the students were allotted their dormitories to stay in. Immediately after that, the students got involved in doing various activities like rope climbing, river crossing and rope walking.

Later, during the day the students decorated their respective corners using only natural articles like leaves and sticks that were lying on the ground . Day one ended with a campfire with children performing one item each. Day two started with

the children rising up early by 5:45 a.m. They said their morning prayers and later left for a long trek to the villages around the place. The students saw the paddy fields, the local school , brinjal farm and an EMU farm where the emu birds are bred. After the trek, the children had a treasure hunt and found some time for swimming. After lunch, we left the Ambivali village with happy memories and reached school in the evening.

Every year, on 14 th November,our school celebrates Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru’s birthday as Childrens’ Day very enthusiastically.This year our teachers organised a very entertaining programme for us.

The programme began with a soulful rendition of “You raise me up”.

couple of dances which included various dance styles like Salsa, Contemporary and classical.

ONE NATION READING DAY On 28th November, 2014, all students of Queen Mary School celebrated ONE NATION READING DAY. Classes 1 to 10 read books of their choice and did activities. My class, 7A had planned something different……..

Our class teacher, Mrs.Raiborde decided that a few girls from our class had to dress up like their favourite characters from books. Some girls dressed up like Heidi, Noddy, Harry Potter, Matilda, Percy Jackson and many more. We started by discussing why that girl dressed up like that character. Harry Potter said that she chose to be Harry Potter because he was a unique character with magical powers. One of them dressed up like a mouse from

the book ‘Thea Stilton’. She dressed up like a pretty mouse with whiskers and a small mouth. She then spoke about her character. After this activity we read our favourite books.

On this day we got to learn something new and we read different new books. We are lucky that we humans can read and also understand what a particular author writes in his or her books and expresses what he or she imagines.

We humans are lucky that we have the privilege to read. We should enjoy One Nation Reading Day and celebrate it with fun and joy so that we learn more!

Perimeter And Area Activity

We started with the chapter Perimeter and Area in Math class. To make this topic more interesting our Math teacher, Mrs.Raiborde told us to bring building blocks and make a garden out of it. We had to then find out the area of the garden and the objects in it and the inner and outer perimeter of the whole garden. We had a lot of fun while doing this activity.

We did it in groups of four. In the garden we built all different types of equipments like slides, swings,

monkey bars, sea saws and many other objects. It was a very memorable experience and the class was enthusiastic about making a beautiful garden while learning about area and perimeter in a creative way.

When we did this activity we remembered the time when we were in playgroup as very small kids and we had never thought that we could learn a Maths chapter in such an innovative way.

Vogue -A Journey to Success An Inter-city Inter-School personality contest was organized by the Rotract Club of HR College. The 17th Vogue was a dream journey that began on 18th January 2014. Going on for a month this experience not only enhanced my confidence but developed my personality too.

They say, “It’s the journey that matters and its worthwhile, not the final destination. The 17th Vogue wasn’t a red carpet walk with rose petals or a piece of cake, but it was the most memorable journey one could travel and explore. We the participants of Vogue felt like explorers whose enthusiasm and inquisitiveness only got stronger with each passing day, it seemed like there was no end.

Vogue was divided into three phases.

The 1st phase comprised an interview and written questionnaire. Based on this, two participants from each participating school were selected.

The 2nd phase went on for about two weeks where in there were speaker sessions, workshops, mock-stock markets, quizzes and several activities that groomed our personalities. After a few days one participant from each school was eliminated.

The last day of this phase was the talent round where each of us had 90 seconds to showcase our talents on stage. For the talent round, I performed a monologue and a dance based on a fusion of western and Indian culture.

64

Phase three was the finale. It was divided into three rounds. The first round compromised a fashion show in Indian and Western attire. As each round passed students were eliminated. For the 2nd round participants were called on stage to have a question answer session with the panel of judges. In the 3rd round the top five were called on stage at a time and had to speak impromptu about an abstract painting shown to them in 45 seconds. After which the winner was announced.

Vogue taught me that experience is the most brutal of all teachers.The experience that I have had on this wonderful journey is definitely going to be an arch to build upon.

As the days passed by we had something new to learn. Despicable, Passionate, Confident, Enthusiastic, Determined- all these characteristics only grew in each one of us by the day.

The friends I have made here are sure to last forever.

It was an amazing learning experience to see fellow students so very talented. In fact, Vogue helped many to discover their individual hidden talents.

This journey has been a joyride, one to cherish and many memories to last a life time.

SUPW - Club Activities Splash (Tie and Dye) Form 8 Alpha India has a very old tradition of dyeing the knotted and folded textiles in vibrant colours. This art work is called Bandhej. Variety of patterns are revealed when these knots and folds are opened. Our tie and dye sessions aim at encouraging the Queen Marians to explore this traditional art. Girls were taught different types of folds like fan fold, samosa fold ,crumble the cloth and many more. We hope

the girls would further like to explore the art of Bandhej and achieve greater heights.

Children are taught various types of embroidery stitches in an easy and interesting manner in the group by their teachers.

In the second term, the children of 5 Alpha were given a floral pattern wherein the same stitches were used by the students. A new stitch-Satin stitch was also introduced to them. It was indeed a Great Beginning for our Small hands.

After that, every Tuesday was awaited for by all of us and Tuesdays ended our school days with peace, joy and happiness in our hearts.

The clippings of stories shown to us gave us the ultimate confidence and now I know for sure that GOD loves me as he loves all his creatures -be it microscopic, small, big, dark, fair, good or bad.

The worksheets given were thoroughly enjoyed by us and without knowing how the message of love of God has gone through the hearts of all of us.

The action songs were an unforgettable experience of releasing ourselves, again for the love of GOD.

‘GOD HAS A PLAN FOR EACH ONE OF US AND EACH LIFE COUNTS AND IS PRECIOUS FOR GOD’...

This was a very valuable lesson that we learnt and I remember it every time I’m sad or elated.

If I were a magician

If I had a puppy, I would play with him all day.

I would never leave him alone.

I would give him food too.

I would dress him up.

I would take him for a walk in the garden.

I would paint and draw with him.

He would be my best friend.

Ganesh Chaturthi I was born on Ganesh Chaturthi which is Lord Ganesha’s birthday. On this day many people bring Lord Ganesha’s idol home to worship. I like this festival because I go with my parents to see the idols of Lord Ganesha in different areas.

After praying to Lord Ganesha, Indian sweets which are also called ‘prasad’ are distributed. This festival is celebrated for ten days and on the eleventh day the Idol is immersed in the sea. Ganesh Chaturthi is a colourful festival. It is my favourite festival.

My Hobby

Trishla Mayani 2A

My hobby is craft. I do craft whenever I get free time.

My mother teaches me craft. I make many different types of things. I prepare things with unwanted and waste materials. I make wall hangings, diyas, rangolis and lanterns. My sister helps me sometimes.

I also like to watch craft shows like Mister Maker and Art Attack. I am planning to make a photo frame with shells and sand.

If I were a magician I would surprise people . I would turn blue balloons to red balloons and get rabbits out of my hat. In a blink of an eye, I would make buildings disappear and reappear. I would turn a bunch of pencils into a beautiful bunch of roses and gift it to my teacher. A lovely princess would come out from an old cupboard. A joker would appear from nowhere and make people laugh. I enjoy doing my shows and entertaining my audience.

My Three Wishes.

Denita Rana 2B

One day my mother had gone to a clinic and my elder sister and I were alone at home. My sister started reading a magazine, but I took a ladder and climbed up till I reached the attic. I started searching for my father’s old piano. While searching for it I came across an old lamp but soon found the piano.

I came down with it in one hand and the ladder in the other. I showed the lamp to my sister. She thought it was an ordinary one, but a strange light attracted me towards it so I decided to clean it. I blew the dust and as soon as I did that a genie came out and asked me my three wishes.

I asked the genie whether he was in the lamp and thrown it into the sea. He also told me that my father had found him. He told me that as I freed him, he would grant me three wishes. I thought for a while and told him my three wishes. My first wish was that every person should get education whether he

Janvi Shetty 1A 72

Queen Marian 2014-2015

or she is poor or not. People who are not educated have to struggle a lot for money. Also, as poor people cannot afford their school fees, they should get free education. My second wish was that I had a magic airplane with which I could travel anywhere in the world or in space and would reach there in 4-5 minutes. Also the clothes needed to wear in space would automatically come in the airplane when I would press a button. My third wish was that I would become a great and a famous author and play writer when I would grow up. I wish that I would be able to write very good books.

Suddenly, I heard my mother’s voice and she was telling me to wake up. I opened my eyes. Alas! This was just a dream but I will remember this awesome dream forever.

The Day I Won One Crore Rupees Junior KBC One day I saw an advertisement on television related to Junior KBC. I got excited and decide to apply for it. Much to my surprise I got a phone call saying that I was selected. I was excited as well as nervous.

The next day I had to go to the KBC set. I couldn’t wait any longer and got ready by putting my new clothes on. Once I reached there we played fastest finger first, where I was the lucky one to win. I got a chance to play with Mr. Amitabh Bachan. My family was also there to support me.

I could answer the first few questions easily. They gradually became harder and by the time I had fifty lakh rupees, I had only one lifeline left. Finally I won the game. As I was going home I had a lot of things I wanted to do with the money. As I slept I thought this is a new beginning for me.

Rainy season

Ashna Thakkar 4B

Rainy season is my favourite season. I like to get wet in the rain.

We carry an umbrella or wear raincoats and go in the rain. I love to eat sweet corn especially in the rainy season. We see many small creatures enjoying the rain like the earthworm, snail and frog. The best part of the rainy season is the rainbow in the sky. I always long for the rainbow after the rains. Rain is very useful for all living creatures. We get water due to rain. Without rain there is no life on Earth.

Mr.Monkey Mr.Monkey, Is quite funky, His brain is like a donkey,

WHY

He copies whatever he sees, He is scared of bees, He loves the cold breeze, But sometimes he might freeze, He lives mostly on trees.

He is quite naughty, Not at all haughty, He looks Chinese, He is pale as blue cheese, He will entertain you without charging any fees.

So this is Mr.Monkey, Who is quite funky.

Asked Chintu to papa, Why are roses red?

Why is the sky blue?

And why are the crew always getting flu?

Why are leaves green?

Why are there different types of hair?

And I am afraid …..

That everybody might become a bear.

And when Chintu looked at papa to answer his queries, Papa was already asleep.

“What a waste of time,” said Chintu to himself.

And he too quietly fell asleep.

The School.

A school is a place where you learn and play, A place where you make new friends and foes, A place where the teachers teach you everyday, A place where you’ll develop from head to toe.

A school is a place where you say Hurrah!

A place where you learn things you’ll love to say, A place where you’ll never feel sad or low, The subjects are vast and varied though.

A school is a place where you’ll sing and dance, A place where you can call out everyone, A school will always welcome you with open arms, Who can ever forget such a place of charm !

The flower A flower is a gift of God, That brings calmness to our soul, In every creature’s life, It plays an important role.

Like a treasure of emotions With a fresh and lingering, sweet smell, As its innocent appearance, Casts on our hearts, a magical spell.

As the frail petals, Rise from the beautiful, green, centre base, There blooms the fragile flower, Spreading it’s love like the sun’s rays.

A stem, with a green, velvety finish, Would be every flower’s sole wish.

The tinge of orange merges into the yellow, I dream of flowers, when I lie down putting my head on pillow.

The sun has set now, so from dawn to dusk, I promise to spread love like the fragrance of musk!

Blossoms

Empowerment of Women

Like a flower That you are; Blossom Like you’re the only one In the lonely garden afar.

Smile, Like you’re the only one Floating in the calm sea, Sing, Like a lovely little bird Who was just set free.

Don’t let the haters criticize you, Don’t let them kill you from the inside, Even if they try to.

Act as if you aren’t scared of severe high-tides.

If you ever fell down, Remember, The rain doesn’t last forever.

After rain comes the beautiful sunshine, Pulling you out of dread, Pulling you out of severe cold, Giving you warmth, Helping you blossom Like the wonderful, Beautiful And Lovely Flower that you are.

I knew myself not yesterday , But I know myself today.

I love who I am inside of me , And there’s a lot I need to say.

I will never let another person , Bring me to my knees.

Because I have chosen to grow and fly, To find my destiny.

I smile a different smile today, Than I smiled in the past.

Today it is a heartful smile , One I know will last.

I will no longer have to hide, From what I want to be.

Because today I don’t wear a disguise, And the “ME” people see is “ME”.

Nature’s Beauty I sit on my window and watch the sky, That vast stretch of blue silk.

At night it possesses a blanket of silver stars, In the morning a white cloud cover shining like milk.

Mother Her heart so pure, her love so true, She is such a great guidance for me and you!

Her words so wise and kind, Such a great lady, you’ll never find!

Even the toughest of times….she faces happily, She is the binding cord of my family.

Then I see the majestic being , Rooted to the ground, As the wind blows past it, It makes a silent,rustling sound.

Her love and generosity can be given no price, She is always the right person for a true advice.

Its green leaves and firm branches, Yielding flowers red and green, Give home to the beautiful birds, Such beauty can never be seen.

She is as trustworthy and responsible, as she teaches us to be….

She has always been a role model for me.

The cuckoo’s melodious song, Fills my heart with happiness, At night I hear the sea water rippling, That relieves me from all the stress.

Whenever we need her she has always been there, Being the senior most, she has always been fair.

The thunders frighten and threaten me, But the rains then lift my soul.

The winter snow gets me thrilled to bits, As we slurp the hot soup from the bowl.

The wonders of nature…..now I know!

That wash our sorrows away, It makes us feel like heaven on earth, And this-I can confidently say!

Under her guidance I am always at rest, Really….you’re truly the best!

What if?

Bullying hurts, don’t you see?

You are nothing, but a big bully.

Don’t you think what could have been What if they wrote a note to say goodbye?

And their family and friends were wondering why?

What if at night, they cry themselves to sleep?

By morning, its too hard to get upon their feet.

They are afraid to come to school because of bullies like you, When they try to tell an adult, their plea is overruled.

Soon they can’t take it anymore, They begin to think what they have to live for, Finally all their sorrows start to spill, They grab the bottle and overdose of pills,

All they ever wanted was a friend And to hear the words, “I’m sorry, I won’t do it again”, You did it all for fun You didn’t know what it could have done!

What if you pushed them a bit too far?

All your actions would have caused one big scar!

Haven’t you seen what you put them through?

You think they’re weak, but they are stronger than you!

Don’t you know how big is that fear?

They scream so hard but no one can hear, What if it was you who got hurt everyday?

Tell me how many words you would have been left with to say!

Cyber Bullying Some people think That words on the screen Don’t mean as much So they have right to be mean.

They don’t understand The power they hold, With each letter they type With each letter they make bold.

They don’t think a bit About what might come, When that message receiver Decides to succumb.

Every day they wake up with regret All they want to do is forget!

So next time you are online And want to act like a fool Just keep in mind That cyber bullying is not cool!

A Poem For Duhita God saw she was getting tired, And a cure was not to be.

So he put his arms around her And whispered “Come with me”.

With tearful eyes we watched her suffer, And saw her fade away, Although we loved her dearly, We could not make her stay.

A golden heart stopped beating, Hardworking hands to rest.

God broke our hearts but to prove to us, He only takes the best!

Although her heart stopped beating, Her love will remain.

Her absence puts upon our hearts, A very heavy strain.

For now she is in a place of everlasting rest, We just have to understand that God only takes the BEST! Vanshika Mithani 8 Alpha

My City Of Dreams (Mumbai) The lifestyle you can die to live , Hotels, Malls and Night Clubs give , Tall buildings is the view you will see here, But higher are the dreams of the people who live here.

Where local trains hardly run on time, Where rushing and pushing is no crime.

The city of glamour and fashion, The city of love and attraction.

Sev Puri and Bhel Puri , are all examples of Mumbai’s chaat, Relishing it with the spicy chutney is no easy art .

From popcorn to ice creams all sold on a cart, Mumbai, you will always stay close to my heart.

Be it the seaside or a horse ride, Be it the Sidhivinayak Temple bells or the stories it tells.

Be it the fresh Neera or the Veer Zaara, Be it the fish or prawn dish, Be it Sholay or Lagaan , Yeh Hai Mumbai Meri Jaan !

A Distant Future She looked at the land all barren and dead, All dark and dull-not a tree ahead.

Her mother had told her tales of days gone by, When all was green and birds twittered in the sky.

She sighed for she knew what was wrong, All the power on earth was gone.

It had happened millions of years ago, The story went somewhat so: The humans had lots of fossil fuel to use, But they never thought of using alternate energy sources too.

But what they did not know Was that whatever had come, had to go.

They squandered oil and wasted coal, Till Mother Earth decided that humans must be told, That the resources were few That they must find energy in something new.

But the humans paid no heed, And Earth suffered from their greed.

“I have to end this,” She said to herself, “They will repent for what they’ve done themselves.”

Slowly but surely the resources began to decrease, But the human activity refused to cease.

What they were doing was wrong, much to earth’s dismay, The errors of their ways was there on display.

So thus the great humans met their end, Because alternate energy sources they did not befriend.

Let us take this an example to see, What happens when we refuse to hear the earth’s plea.

Using alternate energy is the way, We can keep such a dreadful future at bay.

Let’s fight for energy conservation, So that energy may last for generations!

The World The world is but a stage, With kings and a page.

Everyone has a part , Not always played from the heart.

Some people are good, some are bad, Some are happy, some are sad.

Some are cruel, some are kind, People of every type, you will find.

The Dark Side of the World The pollution of the world is increasing, The effect-wildlife is slowly decreasing.

And the world is becoming a dark place, With nowhere for animals to show their face.

The beauty of our land is going away, And unless we preserve nature, it will not stay.

Fossil fuels are getting depleted, Causing prices to be highly inflated.

People are dying everyday, Of lack of care or place to stay.

Poverty is prevalent on our earth, For most, life is darkness, no joy nor mirth.

You will find people who are half-half, They may be sad, but they will laugh.

Or vice-versa it can be Or any combination as you can see.

Look around at every man, May he be dark or fair or have a tan.

They will be a mix of some type You will understand them when the time is ripe.

There is corruption everywhere, Not an ounce of truth in the air.

Money is placed above everything, What a horrible world, no place to sing.

Superstitions still play a big part in many lives, Without thinking, in it the world dives.

Many cannot read or write, And get cheated out of every right.

So rid the world of all bad, Make sure that nobody is sad.

And make the world a better place, For all to have a happy face!

Boys are preferred over girls by most, Though they are equal and neither has higher post.

There is no peace to be found, In any place around.

Life

Life is beautiful , Life is wonderful , Experience in life is the best teacher , Which makes us a successful or failing creature .

Life offers us many opportunities , To enhance our talents in many cities , But they should be extravagantly spectacular , Ego on them makes us vulgar .

Life goes on and on , Whether you choose to move on , Or stay locked up in the past which has gone , And even meet devoidly , the evening and morn!

Some people come in our lives as blessings , Others come as lessons .

Never give up as there is nothing as an ending , Its only a new beginning .

If everyone is happy and satisfied with you , Surely you have made compromises too .

If you are happy and satisfied with everyone , Surely you have ignored many faults of others that are done .

Life is from “B” TO “D” , Birth to Death for us to face, But the “C” in between stands for choice , Make the right choice by listening to your inner voice .

Life is like a camera – Focus on what is important , Capture the good times , During Loneliness , alone with them mime !

Jewellery First come the earrings Made of gold, silver or other things.

Then comes the ring in your nose Which twinkles as you pose.

Now the neck, we’re done with the face, There you’ll find a beautiful necklace.

To the arm, which, by most people you’ve met, Is decorated by an exquisite armlet.

Now to the ring which is on the toe, Called a toe-ring, not given by a foe.

All these complete your jewellery set, Which beautifies every girl you’ve met.

Essays & Articles Section Importance Of Extra Curricular Activities In A Student’s Life Extracurricular activities play a vital role to promote the growth and overall development of a child’s personality besides academics. The hidden talent can be discovered if they are actively involved in these activities. It de-stresses one from the monotonous, mundane routine. It keeps one rejuvenated and healthy not only physically but mentally. These activities could take various forms such as music, physical fitness, mental skills or creative art forms that discuss discipline too. I, therefore, strongly promote the inclusion of extracurricular activities that would enrich and enhance the quality of a student’s life to help her identify the meaning and purpose of her life’s true calling.

Importance of Homework Everywhere I look children are complaining.

Everyone seems to be dreading the word ‘homework’. It is largely considered to be a sort of pain but when we take a closer look at the word ‘homework’, it actually means work to be completed at home.

Then why do people complain about it?

Teachers in school give us homework to revise what we learnt at school.If there was no homework some students wouldn’t even touch the books. We may be tomorrow’s leaders who will shape the country’s future and if the teachers don’t give us homework, if they don’t encourage us to do it or they don’t punish us when we don’t complete our work,it will not prepare us to become productive citizens. So next time before you complain about your homework,don’t forget this thought.

The person I admire the most I live in a big family. I have many friends. I am dear to everybody, but the person I admire the most is my mother.

I admire my mother because she takes care of us. She does tiresome jobs but she is never tired for us. My mother always helps me with my homework when I need her help. She teaches me very well. She has also taught me the value of money. She talks to me politely. She shares everything with everybody.

She is kind and gentle. Whatever I want she gives me but she scolds me too. I like my mother because she listens to me. Sometimes while doing homework, if there are any mistakes in it, she corrects them.

She takes care of me. I like my mother very much.

I know that she will never change. So that is why I am very fond of her and want to be like her when I grow up.

That is why the person I admire the most is my mother. She is the best!

A Mother’s love Nothing can come close to the love that a mother feels for her children. Most women are inherently excellent mothers. Women carry their young before they are born and then continue to nurture them throughout their childhood and adulthood. Mothers make sure that their children are safe and happy throughout their childhood.

It is the unconditional love that a mother feels that drives these feelings. It is hard to describe the feeling that a mother has towards her children. In fact most people do not understand unless they become a mother themselves.

A Lily In Heaven Duhita was a girl with a positive attitude, even when she took her last breath. She never cried over the fact that she had cancer nor did she ever lose hope. Inspite of being chosen to participate in the Mini Olympics from twenty lakh cancer survivors, and being a state champion in chess, carrom, cycling, gymnastics and art, she was grounded and humble, like a fragrant rose. Humility was her biggest virtue.

Duhita taught every child to be happy in life for whatever they had. She has left us with this message etched in our hearts. We still see her smiling in our adversities and she is still telling us to embrace life as it comes.

Duhita was like a lily in a beautiful garden, who inspite of being battered by the storms of life stood still and peaceful spreading her beauty around. On 7th June, God saw this beautiful lily with magnificent pink petals and green leaves. God was mesmerized by the beauty and was compelled to bring this lily up to his garden in heaven.

Duhita, we will never miss you because you are still in our midst, waving and smiling...

One Wish Duhita Save had taken part in, and won a scholarship from the Hindustan Times Scholarship Programme 2014. This is her Prize-Winning essay‌ If you were allowed one wish that would come true, what would it be and why?

In this world all the children definitely want to make a wish. If I was allowed to make a wish which could come true, I would definitely wish that in this world no child or for that matter anyone, should get the disease, Cancer.

I, myself am a cancer survivor. In 2008, when I was in first standard, I was detected with Cancer. It was a big shock for my parents. When I was in Senior K.G. my bones used to pain a lot. So we went to Hinduja Hospital. There we were informed that I was detected with the disease cancer. From that day for my parents and myself, our unhappy days started.

This treatment is very painful. It lasts for almost two years. During the treatment, the first nine months I had to undergo chemotherapy and then radiation. The radiation and chemotherapy are very painful with their side effects. Especially for girls, facing the world without your hair is very challenging.

During the treatment, I found many children and adults suffering from the disease. When I used to see them in pain I felt very bad for them. I have even seen new born babies in immense pain. They have to take so many injections and medicines to get rid of this disease.

If I was allowed to make a wish that could come true, I would wish that when I grow up I would become an oncologist, so that I can cure the disease and along with that I would invent a vaccine which would eradicate cancer completely. ‌And I am sure that everybody would join me in praying that my wish comes true‌ (Written on 28.8.2013)

Mangalyaan in Mars Orbit; History created says, PM Narendra Modi Mission successful, India’s Mars orbiter Mangalyaan, has entered the Red Planet’s orbit- a historic moment for the country’s space programme. ISRO – Indian Space Research Organisation successfully ignited the main 440 Newton liquid engines and eight thrusters that fired for 24 minutes and trimmed the speed of craft to allow smooth orbit inser tion under Mar’s shadow.

Two hours later, Mangalyaan transmitted the first pictures from Mars. “History has been created”. We have achieved the near impossible. India was the first country to achieve this in the first attempt. The odds were stacked against us. Of the 51 missions attempted across the world so far, a mere 21 have succeeded. By placing Mangalyaan in the Mars orbit, India joins the US, the European Space Agency and Russia in the elite club of Martians Explorers. China and Japan have failed.

Mangalyaan was made in just 15 months at a cost of Rs.450 crore, the cheapest inter-planetary mission ever to be undertaken. This success will boost India’s five-decade old space programme that India aims to expand with better infrastructure and technology. Riding on the recent success of its Mars Orbiter Mission, India plans to revisit the planet in 2018, possibly with a lander and rover to conduct more experiments.

Man’s Best Creation God created the land we stand on, the sky above our head, the air we breathe, the water we drink, the flora and fauna surrounding us. Every creation is marvelous. Every creature depends on each other.

But the gem of all creations is mankind. Humans are gifted with brains faster than any other living being. Truly, humans are God’s best creation, but what is man’s best creation?

Some state that fire is man’s best creation, other’s the computer. Some also say that satellites are the best creation while others money. No! I believe writing was and still is man’s best creation. Since prehistoric times, man has used writing as a way to communicate and to express his feelings. From ancient cave inscriptions to famous works of William Shakespeare, writing can be expressed in so many ways. If there would be no such thing as writing, Shakespeare would not be able to show his capability, Einstein wouldn’t be able to share his discoveries, and if it wasn’t for writing, notable people like the latter would not exist if their existence wasn’t recorded. Without writing, this page would be empty and useless.

Just imagine life without writing! What if it didn’t exist? Every piece of evolution would just vanish, and all our education and knowledge would simply cease to exist. Writing records the lives of people and so is the first necessary step in the written history of a civilization. If writing had never been invented, this world would be a wholly different place. Memories would only last as long as we lived, or as long as those who came after remembered to keep passing our stories down. As a high tech society we have learnt to loathe writing and ever ything that follows it such as reading. Although our generation

85

puts a spotlight on easy and quick fun like video games or movies instead of long and boring to death books, it is unimaginable to run away from reading.

Writing also increases the reader’s imagination by isolating the reader into self projected movie which is impossible in a movie, as the movie limits our imagination and creativity. Writing is not just books or paper and pencil. Most of the writing today is the origin of movies and T.V. shows. For example J.K.Rowling’s world famous, the Harry Potter series.

We live in the world that separates the masses by their edification level. Writing connects the world and nations together by a black and white constitution or simple facts. Writing is where conversations are engendered. Writing allows us to make logic of things. Writing helps us let go and accept that we may never find answers. Writing is the miracle that connects a soldier in a battle to his families. Writing is man’s best creation.

Should Animal Circuses Prevail?

“Ra da da da da da da da circus Da da da da da da da da afro Circus afro, circus afro, Polka dot polka dot polka dot afro” Wow! An animal circus! Isn’t it awesome! Wasn’t the circus in the movie Madagascar 3 just amazing?

But wait, are all animal circuses so much fun? Do all animals enjoy doing a circus? Are they all treated well? Unfortunately, the answer to these questions is NO! In an animal circus, animals from the wild are trapped when they are very young and are made to live this life of compulsion. Most of the time they are ill treated and beaten mercilessly. They aren’t even given good food which they deserve after so much work. Is this all fair? The animal is tortured so that we can have fun and that the circus owner can earn money. While transporting the animals

86

from the wild to the circus, some of them die.

Nobody cares that they are also living beings.

Just some animals are dying, what difference does it make, right. It does make a BIG difference. They are all living creatures, and have as much right to live as humans do. The circus owners are just tormenting and sometimes even killing the poor animals. Shouldn’t the circus owners be behind the bars under the offence of murder?

Thankfully, most animal circuses have been banned and such reckless circus owners have been jailed, but it will not stop unless all of us strongly react against these inhumane circuses. By making animals perform in circuses, we are taking away their natural lifestyle from them. In this way, we are strongly affecting the natural biodiversity of nature. As a result, even if we send these animals back to their habitats, they will not be able to adapt and,therefore,die.Hence, the circuses permanently damage the life of the animals.

Even by watching and enjoying the animal circuses, we are encouraging the circus owners to have more and more acts and use the animal to its utmost.

Hence, looking at the facts, I strongly believe that animal circuses should be banned. The animals should be allowed to live in the natural life and man has no right to interfere and destroy their lives. We should stand up as one and campaign strongly against these activities.

Prime minister Shri Narendra Modi’s speech on Teachers’ Day Teachers’ Day is celebrated each year on 5th September in honour of Dr.Sar vapalli Radhakrishnan’s birth anniversary. This year our newly elected Prime Minister had an interactive session with school students from across the country.

The interactive session was good but the speech the Prime Minister delivered was interesting and very inspirational.

In his speech, Prime Minister Modi mentioned how blessed and privileged he felt about being able to address the students who are the bright future of India. He then went on to talk about the importance of Teachers’ Day in India and how, in his opinion, the significance of teachers in society was fading away. He asked the students about how many of them wished to become teachers on growing up.

After getting a poor response, he said that there should be such large number of Indians becoming good teachers that India should think of exporting teachers to the entire world. Prime Minister Modi then mentioned an incident that took place in Japan during his recent trip there. He had met a couple, an Indian man and a Japanese woman.

The man had asked him (the Prime Minister) about his Independence Day speech especially the part about cleanliness.This man told him that in Japanese schools ,the teachers and the students work together to keep their school clean. “So why can we not apply this in India?” asked the Prime Minister.He then went on to talk about the students, called them talented and encouraged them by saying that if they are determined, nothing would possibly stop them. He stressed the importance of technology in the modern age and asked students to make full use of it without neglecting their studies. The Prime Minister also talked about the importance of sports and developing hobbies, without getting bound by the shackles of books. He encouraged the students to read biographies of famous personalities to gain Queen Marian 2014-2015

more knowledge and draw inspiration from them. Fur ther, he cautioned the children about our overdependence on google by saying, “Don’t just depend on Google Guru, because it can give you information but not complete knowledge.” His speech was met with resounding applause and it was quite clear that the students listening to the Prime Minister were motivated by now.

The speech was followed by a question and answer session with the students assembled in the auditorium asking the Prime Minister their questions .The speech had a lot of things that could be imbibed and implemented in our day to day lives. I personally learnt from it that “Those who thought of the near future planted wheat, those who thought of the distant future planted fruit trees and those who planned for generations planted human beings.”

Fighting a Phobia My name is Rhea and I have been the Head Girl of Queen Mary School. However, if few years ago anyone had mentioned this as a future possibility, I would have been aghast! Looking back at what I was, as a child, this would have seemed like an impossible dream!

By nature I was very shy and timid. I failed to understand how my brother was outgoing, daring and bold, whilst I could barely manage a few words to strangers, let alone a whole sentence. One particular incident in my child hood changed me as a person and my outlook to life.

One September evening, my brother , who is four years older than me took me to his school(St. Mary’s) for the Annual Day. At the end of the programme , he held out his arms protectively around my small 87

shoulders(I was only ten years old at that time!)and led me up to his two friends Aaron and Abhishek .I stood there silently by my brother’s side without saying a word to the two other boys.Then my brother told me to stay and talk to them while he went off to get us some snacks from the canteen.

“Talk to them! To two fourteen year old boys! Was he out of his mind, seriously?” I silently fumed,whilst my eyes tried to follow my brother as he disappeared into the crowd.Then I turned to Aaron and Abhishek and stared sullenly at them,unable to say a word , which was not at all unusual for me. However,they tried to put me at ease and said “Hi”to which I replied a humble “Hello”. Abhishek asked if I had enjoyed the programme which I had, and then asked me whether I’d like to come again. I nodded and gave monosyllable answers in my usual style .Realizing that the conversation was not going anywhere ,Aaron asked if I had any hobbies ,since I obviously did not like to talk.After pondering for some time as to whether or not I should answer that question, I decided to tell him that I liked to sing –without realizing that I had probably put my foot in it ,because he then asked me to sing a song for them.

Wishing that I had kept my mouth shut ,but not be outdone, I decided to sing their own school anthem, which my brother had taught me at home. I nervously began. After the first verse ,the two boys joined in, and soon a veritable crowd of St. Mary’s boys gathered around , proudly singing along.At the end of the song, everyone’s shocked expression said it all-“A girl from another school was singing their school anthem so well!Wow!Even my brother,who had by then returned with a Frankie in each hand, stood there with his mouth gaping open,

wondering how in heaven’s name had I plucked up the courage to sing in front of two dozen strangers.

I guess I’ll never know the answer to that one,but I am so glad I did.

Aaron and Abhishek gave me a friendly pat on the back and said they were so glad that I had a ‘voice’ after all. Even their school captain came up to me and told me that I sang really well and asked me which school I was from, to which I proudly answered ‘Queen Mary School’, without even batting an eyelid. I myself was surprised that I had spoken to the school captain fearlessly. That day I realized that I could shed my fear of talking to strangers, if I tried hard enough. This way I would probably make a better life for myself and others around me.

The next day, when I came to school, Mrs. Irani asked my class as to who would like to compere the Junior School Speech Day. I actually raised my hand, went for auditions and got selected. From then on, there was no looking back. Participation in interhouse-interschool activities became a priority.

I started to talk in public, on stage, and in front of crowds, without feeling like a cat had got my tongue!

I started seeking the courage I had lacked earlier-the courage to stand up with confidence as well as to face my mistakes without defiance, as Julie Andrews so rightly sang in “The Sound of Music”.

Now I gladly step forward to take part in any activity-be it elocution, debates, acting or drama. I am grateful to my teachers and parents who have always encouraged me and helped me develop my skills. If I ever feel myself retreating to my old self, I remind myself of that Annual Day at St Mary’s, where a little bit of courage took a person from being shy to being a small star-a star that can shine to inspire mankind to go through life’s difficulties with courage, optimism and hope, because after all, stars do not shine without darkness!

A Bank Robbery...Or was it?

It was a lazy Saturday morning and it was a weekly holiday. I was woken up at 8 a.m. even though I did not have to attend school. My father drew the curtains and I was blinded by the sunlight. He cordially asked me whether I wanted to accompany him to the bank. I flatly refused but then my mother insisted that I go. I later agreed, after a good persuasion.

My father and I walked the front door of the Tardeo Branch of ICICI bank, which is the biggest branch in Mumbai. I followed my father, he made himself comfortable on one of the seats outside the branch manager’s cabin. I looked around and I saw pamphlets hanging from the ceiling, occasionally blocking the light .There were several desks and I could see people meticulously working behind the glass walls, while the clients walked around , in and out of the room. Some of them looked outside the huge glass window near the entrance. It was so peaceful.

Suddenly, a white van pulled up outside the entrance. There was a lot of commotion created which caught my eye. Two masked men, dressed in black jumped out of the van. They were armed with guns and black bags. There was a crash and the next thing I saw was a gaping hole in the glass and parts of it shattered here and there, inside the bank. The masked men hopped back onto their feet and pointed their guns at everybody in the bank and yelled “FREEZE!” I saw the manager peep through a tiny window of his door and run to the telephone. The two men began shooting at all the security cameras.

Everybody lay flat on the ground. My heart was beating faster than ever. My father whispered that everything would be alright. I watched as the men broke the glass that covered the desk and ordered the employees to hand them bundles of money.

Two more men entered through the hole, shooting the guard in the head. There was a pool of blood around the fallen guard’s head. It was horrifying.

One of the men ran past us, straight into the manager’s office. He grabbed the hand set from the manager and threw it on the floor. Later, the manager was pushed to the ground next to us.

Surprisingly, the camera outside his office was not shot and his cabin door was open the entire time.

I turned my head towards the centre of the room and I saw the first two men shove bundles of high value Indian currency into their black bags. ‘Black Money’, I wondered to myself. I tried very hard to lose myself in a daydream but in vain. One man threatened the remaining bandit that he would call the police. The masked man held him at gunpoint.

Another man got up and tried to pull the gun away from his fellow citizen’s head, accidentally making the masked man shoot at a fire alarm. I shut my eyes and grabbed my father’s hand as tight as I could. There was noise and once again everybody stuck to the ground because an employee was shot dead. I pulled myself close to the leg of a chair and hugged it tightly.

Then a very strange thing happened, the ‘dead’ guard rose from a pool of blood and the ‘dead’ employee got back onto his chair wiping the blood off his forehead. Just when I thought I was amidst a zombie apocalypse, I heard a loud voice that said ‘CUT’.

Everybody stood up including my father. I sat up cross legged with a poker face. The masked men casually revealed their faces and the bundles of notes were neatly returned to their drawers. A few people looked at me and exchanged smiles with each other. The manager helped me up and told me that a prestigious director and a well known production house had

approached the bank to shoot a sequence for their upcoming thriller ‘India’s Hero’. The man who had threatened to call the police was a budding actor.

I was so flabbergasted by the horrifying scene that it took me a few minutes to burst out into laughter.

Later, I was told that Ramesh uncle was a good friend of my father during the school days and a few people were told I was going to be surprised by the act. The arms were fake and so were the shotsall sound effects. A man walked in and everybody dispersed.

I was made to watch the scene caught on the camera outside the manager’s office. It was all so realistic. My expressions were incredible. My father handed Ramesh Uncle a cheque and an envelope.

My mother undoubtedly had a beaming smile as we got home. My father is a good actor and it was a remarkable experience at the bank.

Reflections ...To My School With Love!!

Day before yesterday, when Miss Manickam mentioned that I would have to reflect on my years in Queen Mary School, for the Founder's Day programme, an old song came to mind.

"Those were the days my friend, We thought they'd never end, We'd sing and dance for ever and a day, We'd live the life we'd choose, We'd fight and never lose, For we were young and sure to have our way."

Yes friends, those were the days!!

It seems as if only yesterday, that my parents handed me over to the kind and gentle Mrs Parekh in the Nursery class.From then on, Queen Mary's became my home away from home, where I've spent most of my waking hours, studying, playing, singing, debating and above all learning to be a good human being and living life to the fullest.

The journey through Pre-Primary brings back memories of sweet teachers like Miss Lawyer and the late Mrs. Pereira who worked with us, not just on our ABC, but also the building blocks of life.

Those were the carefree days of childhood, which I will always cherish.

Junior School was no less fun, but with a healthy dose of learning thrown in. Preparing for the Junior School Annual Days were the highlight of our years. I'm sure my Class 10 friends will recollect the Bhangra we did in Class 3 and Dances of the World in Class 4.

Oh, what fun we had!!!

And if we ever strayed too far from what was right, guess who got us to toe the line? Mrs Irani, of course!! Though firm, she instilled in us a sense of right and wrong, and we learnt to respect authority.

Senior School of course has been a roller coaster ride of unforgettable experiences – Competitions back to back, choir practises, drama practises, Immaculata, We are The World, Cascade, experiments in the Chem Lab, baking in the Home Science Lab, arguing Shylock's case in the English class, cracking jokes when History got too boring, cheering for matches in the Quadrangle, and on the side, trying to prepare for the ICSE. All these have made up the experience that is Queen Mary's and I will cherish these memories forever.

In the past few years, I have tried to do my best for the school that has given me so much, for so many years.

I have tried to stand by the lessons I have learnt here, values of sharing and caring for others, honesty, dignity and integrity. What I am today, I owe to the One and Only Queen Mary School. Three Cheers for Q. M. S.!!!
