EXPLORING A NEW UNIVERSE

Padmaja Vikas Chavan
12 B

Today, I think of days when I was a small child thinking about my plausible future which to me, now, seems to be a ludicrous idea of doing something in childhood. Today, I think of days which I had squandered in thinking about the future. Anyways, in both the cases I owe to miss something very important, the prominence of which could be understood only when you yourself be in that place. When I was small I was told by every Tom, Dick, and Harry that I bore similitude to a rabbit and the consequences arose such that I was christened by an appellation, ‘SASA’, (a Marathi word for rabbit). Today, I don’t take after one. Today, I am not the same which I was earlier, for I have changed in a lot many aspects as one could ever think of. I had never imagined how time has conceded in the last fifteen years. …(Read More)

Time to say Good-Bye…….

Julie Ghosh
Teacher

It’s that time of the year when students are wrapping-up the last minute of textbook information and teachers are wrapping-up all their memories associated with the Batch. Difficult as it may seem for both, but remember all the values and lifeskills you have been nurtured with to make you sail smooth on the journey of life.

Every flower was once a bud

Amarpreet Rawat

Every teacher was once a student and every student is a learner. We all evolve as mature, complex humans by learning,unlearning and re learning in our life. We all make mistakes.So it’s ok. Chillax.

Make someone smile every day, touch a heart by your gesture, help the elderly and whatever you do, do your job well. By the end of the day, if you feel that you have tried your level best, it is a day well spent….(Read More)

SAVE TIME – PRODUCTIVITY

Selwyn Francis
Teacher

You can’t change the number of hours in a day, but you can fill them more efficiently, with less stress and mental effort. You’ve likely heard this before, and perhaps your past efforts at time management have been, well, a waste of time. But most people’s attempts to increase productivity get derailed by two virtues of modern living: technology and options. Today’s onslaught of tech — smartphones, iPads, search engines, social media — is fragmenting our attention spans, gumming our mental gears with useless facts, and turning us into surface-level thinkers. At the same time, all the communication choices we have today — email, IM (Instant messaging), Skype or Gmail chat — are thwarting …(Read More)

Are we (Indians) ready for Alternative Education?

Mrs. Ranjna Jangra
Principal

This was the topic of a panel discussion in a conference attended by me last week. What is Alternative Education? Any pedagogical approach which is different from the mainstream pedagogy can be called as the alternative education. Home Schooling is one of the examples of alternative education.
It is very popular in the countries like USA, UK and New Zealand. The question emerged in my mind was that why do we need Alternative Education? Can’t we have an appropriate blend of the conventional and alternative pedagogies in our schools?…(Read More)
