Pratibimb 2013 (1)

Shishukunj International School is proud to announce “Pratibimb” the Annual Exhibition on July 28, 2013.  It  is a platform for the students of the school to showcase their talent in different areas like maths, commerce, banking, and various other areas in front of parents, teachers and fellow students. Also, for entertainment, various recreational activities have been organized.  

Our class students have worked hard and are playing an important role in this exhibition. Nehal has made a chart on diet in which she has covered topics like what we should eat, how much and at what timings should we eat. Shourya and Dhairya have made a chart on body mass index (BMI). They also have a beautiful model of the Olympic track of Beijing that is The Bird's Nest Stadium. 

A group project on sport injuries made by Muskan, Mansi, Krishna and Rishabh will surely be attracting lots of parents. Shivesh has portrayed the life of our nation's pride “The Flying Sikh” (Milkha Singh) through charts and models. 

Yash has made a chart for maths related to the graphs of trigonometric functions. Khushi will be explaining the guests about security measures in banking and RTGS, with the help of two charts made by her. Along with these there are many recreational ideas like quiz on The Reserve Bank of India organized by Disha and Tanishq. Varnika, Vinisha, Mohnish and Avani J will put up a skit depicting the financial difference in the society.

An Inter-House TV show is also going to be held during the Exhibition. Shivesh, Sanjana N, Priyamvada and others in various capacities have participated for their House TV show. 

For the refreshments Sarthak and Manas will put up food stalls in which they will be selling vada pau.

With all the efforts and the hard work put in by the students, the exhibition will undoubtedly be a grand success. 

End of a 'Decade' - Another Beginning...

'It is the end of a decade, but the start of an age.'

The end of class X is a precursor to many new hopes, challenges and aspirations. We have taken our first tentative steps by making a choice of the subject stream we are going to study in school.

The school journey is considered to be the metamorphic stage in our lives, we wriggle out of our cocoons to soar high in the sky. Our school days have been pretty amazing. From the hot summer refreshments to getting wet in the rain. The day starts with the morning prayer and in our case the 'Thought of the Day' as well. Among all the chattering and giggling we try to find our way to wake up in the real sense.

So far, we've had the Inter-House English Word Power competition in which Akshina, Disha, Saurabh and Priyamvada represented their Houses.

We had the Investiture Ceremony. Krishna and Sanjana G from the class are a part of the Students' Council. Disha had proposed the Vote of Thanks for the Ceremony.

The Annual Awards Function 'Ojas' was held on June 27, 2013. The following students from the class received awards.

Akshina                Disha          Disha          Disha          Saurabh          Disha          Mansi          Rajat          Saloni          Shivesh          Siddhi

Sidhhi and Shivesh have brought laurels to the school by participating in the Sunita Singh Memorial Basketball Competition.

The mid term is over and everybody is gearing up for the half yearly.

But before that we are all engrossed in preparations for the Annual Exhibition that is on Sunday, July 28. Each of us is involved in some activity or presentation. It is certainly going to be grand!

Sometimes the journey is more beautiful than the actual destination. We do not know where the destination lies for us. Nevertheless, it has been another good beginning. Class XI is certainly going to be memorable!

Dreamology - A Childhood Rhyme

POEM BY VINISHA SHRIMAL

(This poem was written as part of a class assignment which required us to talk to an adult at home and find out how their childhood was different from ours.)

From the albums of my father’s mind,

His childhood was one of a kind,

The kingdom where nobody dies,

His childhood world had lesser lies.

Life was good,

Skipping up and down,

And running like a clown,

Scattered stones were around,

Shouting sitolia when completely bound.

Be it kho-kho, kabaddi or gulli danda,

Dad puts down all the techno-fundas,

Playing on mobiles, computers which are all indoors,

Dad only gets amused by the outdoors.

Along the days of dreaming,

And the childhood gleaming,

There were no fans on the school ceiling,

Still the childhood was amazing.

Teachers were strict,

Standing with a stick,

They are still in contact,

They enriched their students, it’s a fact.

Waiting to open his lunch box,

Sharing the food stocks,

After the food fight,

They again ran behind the kite.

Comics had them spell bound,

Chacha Choudhary, Champak were the gifts found.

A Childhood snippet,

10 paisa was enough buy a movie ticket,

Mischiefs caught,

For which daddy fought,

He and his friends made teachers funny sketch,

And also put glue on his bench,

Professor could see daddy's notorious smile,

And he asked him to display the funny profile.

Attending a marriage feast,

Was the only treat,

Poha and other Indian snacks,

Were definitely better than fast food packs.

Costs were low,

Of all lands and bungalows,

Now it’s seen moving with the wind,

Hence petrol and gold are bought thin.

He had interest in sport,

Cricket was his daily port,

Grandpa said,

“No! You need a profession.”

And he had to give in to this repression

Yet my father never told lies,

He made me experience his childhood time,

“Unbelievable”, said my eyes,
The English class made me write this childhood rhyme.

Dâstân-é-Class-XI-A

What happens when you have a room full of excited, confused, intelligent, boisterous, shy, wide-eyed, gifted,  eager teenagers? 

First, you run out of adjectives.

It is difficult to have a dull moment in such company. 

While there is a set of newcomers (including me), there are also seasoned Shishyans in the gang. When talking about the experiences of class X, something that came up repeatedly was how we missed our friends and the wonderful time we had last year. The time spent with friends always becomes cherished. We always wish we could travel back to those times when we were younger.

And then there is so much we can learn from each other. Where to contain all the brimming creativity? A space to express ourselves? A platform to celebrate the class that we are?

So, here we present, the first time ever from Shishukunj, a class blog

              
                      Dâstân-é-Class-XI-A

the legends of our time together as Shishukunj Class XI-A, 2013-14.
