Mera Bali

Amer Fort is located in Amer, 11 kilometres from Jaipur. Located high on a hill, it is the principal tourist attraction in the Jaipur area. The town of Amer was originally built by Meenas and later it was ruled by Raja Man Singh I (December 21, 1550 – July 6, 1614). Amer Fort is known for its artistic Hindu style elements. With its large ramparts and series of gates and cobbled paths, the fort overlooks Maota Lake. It is the main source of water for the Amer palace.

Constructed of red sandstone and marble, the attractive, opulent palace is laid out on four levels, each with a courtyard. It consists of the Diwan-i-Aam, or "Hall of Public Audience", the Diwan-i-Khas, or "Hall of Private Audience", the Sheesh Mahal (mirror palace), or Jai Mandir, and the Sukh Niwas where a cool climate is artificially created by winds that blow over a water cascade within the palace. Hence, the Amer Fort is also popularly known as the Amer Palace. The palace was the residence of the Rajput Maharajas and their families. At the entrance to the palace near the fort's Ganesh Gate, there is a temple dedicated to Sila Devi, a goddess of the Chaitanya cult, which was given to Raja Man Singh when he defeated the Raja of Jessore, Bengal in 1604.  

This palace, along with Jaigarh Fort, is located immediately above on the Cheel ka Teela (Hill of Eagles) of the same Aravallirange of hills. The palace and Jaigarh Fort are considered one complex, as the two are connected by a subterranean passage. This passage was meant as an escape route in times of war to enable the royal family members and others in the Amer Fort to shift to the more redoubtable Jaigarh Fort.

Report of Exchange Program by MGD Girls

We a group of nine girls visited The Fab India School,Bali in Pali District for an exchange programme from 14th-20th November 2016. The school staff welcomed us very warmly and whole heartedly. Soon we left with our host teachers to their houses. By living with our host teachers we learnt about different work styles, cultures, customs and living habits. We learnt how to take proper care of flowers, how to make garlands, we learnt to cook traditional Rajasthani dishes like dal dhokli and how to eat them traditionally as well. We observed that most houses had a small space left on the roofs since they believed that some rituals will be performed when the daughter of the house gets married. We also noticed that the women, even now, cover their forehead and they were very particular about personal hygiene. The people were caring, hardworking and loving. The school campus provided the students with great facilities like courts and coaches. The atmosphere was positive and green. The school's discipline was a model to behold. There were certain differences we found like their exhibitions were set up subject wise, their school had blocks and not buildings. They had co-education and ours is an all girls school. Other than all this we were impressed by the dedication of students towards their education. We thank the school authorities for organizing a visit to the famous places of Pali like Ranakpur Temple, Jawai Bandh, Shivganj Market and the Golden Temple of Falna .Our visit has taught us the value of the facilities we were provided with. For sure we loved the school, teachers, host teachers and students and would love to pay another visit if we get a chance.

The activities carried out in the classes were Poetry Writing, Quiz, Extempore etc. In the Assembly speeches were given, articles were readout, poems were recited and quiz was organized by the students and teachers all through the week.

इस हिन्दी सप्ताह को प्रारंभ करने से पहले हमारे हिन्दी अध्यापक कृष्णगोपाल सर इस विषय के बारे मे बताते है कि हिंदी फ़ारसी भाषा का शब्द है। ईरानी लोग स को ह बोलते थे। इसी कारण सिंध प्रान्त में रहने वाले लोगों की भाषा सिंधी यानी हिंदी कही गयी। आर्य भाषाओं में प्राचीनतम भाषा वैदिक संस्कृत मानी जाती है। कई लेखक तथा कवियों ने इसमें काव्य सृजन किया। वैदिक संस्कृत के साथ-साथ बोल-चाल की भाषा को लौकिक संस्कृत नाम दिया गया। यही लौकिक संस्कृत आगे चलकर पालि के रूप में परिवर्तित होती गयी भगवान बुद्ध के उपदेश पालि भाषा में मिलते हैं। इसके पश्चात प्राकृत भाषा का प्रादुर्भाव हुआ पहली से 500 ई.पु. तक प्राकृत लोकभाषा रही। प्राकृत से अपभ्रंश भाषाएँ विकसित हुई। अपभ्रंश की अंतिम अवस्था अवहट्ठ थी इसी से हिंदी भाषा का जन्म हुआ। अवहट्ठ को पुरानी हिंदी कहा जाता है। 13वीं शताब्दी के आस-पास हिंदी में साहित्य रचना होने लगी। यह सप्ताह विद्यालय में हिन्दी साहित्य सप्ताह के रूप में मनाया जाएगा | जिसमें कई गतिविधियाँ आयोजित की जाएगी|

ANNUAL DAY SPECIAL
Mera Bali

Ranthambore National Park is one of the largest national parks in Northern India, covering entire area of 392 km². It is situated in the Sawai Madhopur district of southeastern Rajasthan, about 110 km northeast of Kota and 160 km southeast of Jaipur. The nearest town and railway station is at Sawai Madhopur, about 11 km away. The park is also close to the Kota railway station. Ranthambore National Park lies at the edge of a plateau and is bounded to the north by the Banas River and to the south by the Chambal River. It is named after the historic Ranthambhore fortress, which lies within the park.

Ranthambhore was established as the Sawai Madhopur Game Sanctuary in 1955 by the Government of India and was declared one of the Project Tiger reserves in 1973. Ranthambore became a national park in 1980. In 1984, the adjacent forests were declared the Sawai Man Singh Sanctuary and Keladevi Sanctuary, and in 1991 the tiger reserve was enlarged to include the Sawai Man Singh and Keladevi sanctuaries.

Ranthambore wildlife sanctuary is known for its tigers and is one of the best places in India to see these animals in their natural jungle habitat. Tigers can be easily spotted even in the daytime. The best times for tiger sightings at Ranthambore National Park are in November and May. The park's deciduous forests are characteristic examples of the type of jungle found in Central India. Other major wild animals include leopard, nilgai, wild boar, sambar, striped hyena, sloth bear, southern plains gray langur, rhesus macaque and chital. The sanctuary is home to a wide variety of trees, plants, birds and reptiles, as well as one of the largest banyan trees in India.

ALUMNI

I am missing my school friends. Each and every moment I spent in the school is memorable. I still miss every lecture, especially Krishna Gopal Sir's lecture. My favorite teacher is our Ex-Principal ma'am and the other entire teacher who taught us in 12th standard. 

When I was studying, all the Annual Functions which I attended and participated were special and awesome. And as much I remember I have not missed any annual function of my school when I was studying. I am missing my classmates when I was in school. In my view point The Fabindia is the best school in this area. I am so lucky that I didn't need to change the school. 

All my days, I remember are memorable for lifetime. I have finished my graduation and am doing my post graduation in Commerce. - Sagar Rajpurohit/ Batch 2013

Keynote Speaker Chief Guest Mrs. Ritu Sharma’s Speech
Esteemed SMC Chairman Brigadier Karan Singh , Principal, distinguished guests, parents, teachers and dear students, I am honoured to be invited as the Chief Guest to The Fabindia’s 24th Annual Day Celebration. It gives me immense pleasure to join you all on this occasion. I have thoroughly enjoyed a brilliantly organized school exhibition and the wonderful performance put up on stage by the students to commemorate the occasion. I am indeed awestruck by you lush green campus and state of the art infrastructure, responsible for making learning a joyous process in such a beautiful environment.

It’s always nice to be in the company of young people. It allows me to share the joy, energy and spirit of youth. I take this opportunity to celebrate your success in pursuing excellence in education and witness the remarkable achievements of this school. Fabindia has been consistently producing good results through its holistic approach to education. Under the excellent leadership of Ms. Deepika Tandon along with the whole hearted efforts of a dedicated team of teachers, a lot of innovative ideas have been successfully implemented in the school. It also has been offering much needed cross cultural exposure to its student’s body while remaining truly rooted in its own local heritage. I congratulate the Bhadrajun Artisans Trust and its associates for leading such a successful educational project in the country and setting a stellar example for us to emulate. Bearing in mind the ethos and culture of our land, Fabindia made it its missions to lay a solid foundation for each child and groom her for a lifelong journey of learning. William and John Bissell’s pioneering efforts to establish a model school for young people that could reach out to the rural populace of Rajasthan has made an incredible difference in the lives of many. The growing alumni body of Fabindia speaks volumes about impact it has had on the lives of numerous youngsters.
Among children not attending school there are twice as many girls as boys, and among illiterate adults there are twice as many women as men. In a patriarchal society, Fabindia’s mission to promote high quality education to both boys and girls is truly ground breaking as we live in an environment which is negligent to the needs of girls children. Fabindia recognizes primary education to be the stepping stone in attaining social mobility, equality and employment opportunities. It is an apt to say that when you educate a woman, you educate an entire family. Offering basic education is one sure way of giving them greater power- of enabling them to make genuine choices over the kinds of lives they wish to lead. This is not a luxury but a basic human right. That woman might have the chance of a healthier and happier life. should be reason enough for promoting girls’ education. However, there are also important benefits for society as a whole. An educated woman has the skills, information and self-confidence that she needs to be better parent, worker and citizen.

Hence, education is one of the most critical areas of empowerment for women. Empowering girls is through educating them and schooling is the primary step in that direction. I am glad to know that the school funds around 200 scholarships, majority of which are reserved for girl children alone. I am also pleased by the high percentage of girl children enrolled at Fabindia from neighbouring villages. It is needed a matter of pride that women hold several key posts in your school that aspires to achieve the dream of providing equal educational and job opportunities to men and women alike.
Gathered here today are promising young minds that have reached a milestone in their lives and are looking forward to new challenges ahead. We also have parents amidst us who support their children with selfless love and educators who are passionate in moulding the students by equipping them to meet the demands of an ever changing world. As educators and parents, we share the responsibility of nurturing young minds by bringing out the best in them while inspiring them to become lifelong learners. Families and communities must be important partners with schools in developing curriculum and managing children’s education. The greatest gift we can give our daughters today is the power of education which can challenge the perpetuation of gender stereotypes.
I ask the students of The Fabindia to not allow circumstances to dictate or restrict your dreams! Learning does not end when one leaves school. Look for the opportunities that hide behind adversities in life. Believe in yourself and remember that there is always another way of looking at the world. I wish you all the very best in your journey to fulfil your dreams, aspirations and surpass all our expectations. ‘’ Under the stars, I can see with my eyes that sweet dreams not only survive, but thrive.
Thank you and God bless!
Saturday, 19th November: The School observed a holiday. Staff came to School to remove the Exhibitions and set the Classes for regular School on Monday.

Old Rangji  Temple

Pushkar is a town in the Ajmer district in Rajasthan. It is situated 14 km northwest of Ajmer at an average elevation of 510 m (1,670 ft) and is one of the five sacred dhams (pilgrimage site) for devout Hindus. According to Hindu theology, the pond at the Katas Raj temple near Choa Saidan Shah in Chakwal District of Pakistan has a theological association with Shiva; it was formed by the tears of Lord Shiva which he is believed to have shed after the death of his wife, Sati. The story goes that when Sati died, Shiva cried so much and for so long, that his tears created two holy ponds – one at Pushkara in Ajmer in India and the other at Ketaksha, which literally means raining eyes, in Sanskrit. It is from this name that the word Katas is derived. It is often called "Tirth Raj" – the king of pilgrimage sites – and has in recent years become a popular destination for foreign tourists.

Pushkar has many temples. Most of the temples are not very old because many temples were destroyed during Muslim conquests in the area.  Subsequently, the destroyed temples were rebuilt. The most famous among all is the Brahma Temple built during the 14th century CE. The Pushkar Lake has 52 ghats where pilgrims descend to the lake to bathe in the sacred waters. Pushkar is also famous for its annual fair (Pushkar Camel Fair) held in  the month of November.

Children day is a day to enjoy ,

it is a day of love and joy.

All children play and dance,

The pride of India.

So let’s have this children day

Full of happiness.

Sketch by Tanoj Sompura/X/TH

India’s first Prime Minister, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, was born on 14^th November. Apart from being known for his skills as a statesman, Nehru was also immensely fond of children.
He thought children are the future of a Nation and they need utmost care. They win over our hearts with their angelic eyes and innocent smiles. Nehru wished his birthday to be celebrated as Children’s Day. Since his death in 1963, his birthday is being celebrated as Children's Day in India. So the Children’s Day is dedicated to the Children of India. Children are loved by one and all. Children’s Day is not just a day to let the future generation have its say. It is a day to remember a leader who, in his quiet but determined way, laid the foundation to convert a nascent nation into a world power. The more popular and famous of Nehru's pictures show him with children. He is always called as Chacha Nehru (Nehru Uncle).

Mera Bali

Mehrangarh Fort located in Jodhpur, Rajasthan, is one of the largest forts in India. Built around 1460 by Rao Jodha, the fort is situated 410 feet (125 m) above the city and is enclosed by imposing thick walls. Inside its boundaries there are several palaces known for their intricate carvings and expensive courtyards. A winding road leads to and from the city below. The imprints of cannonball hits by attacking armies of Jaipur can still be seen on the second gate. To the left of the fort is the chhatri of Kirat Singh Soda, a soldier who fell on the spot defending the Mehrangarh fort.

There are seven gates, which include Jayapol (meaning 'victory'), built by Maharaja Man Singh to commemorate his victories over Jaipur and Bikaner armies. Fattehpol (also meaning 'victory') gate was built by Maharaja Ajit Singh to mark the defeat of the Mughals. The palm imprints upon these still attract much attention.
The museum in the Mehrangarh fort is one of the well-stocked museums in Rajasthan. In one section of the fort museum there is a selection of old royal palanquins, including the elaborate domed gilt Mahadol palanquin which was won in a battle from the Governor of Gujarat in 1730. The museum exhibits the heritage of the Rathores in arms, costumes, paintings and decorated period rooms.

Friday, 4th November: Staff had a PDP Session with BAT Chairman Mr. Sandeep Dutt at 3.00 PM in the Staff Room. They were given the theme ‘From Trust to Relationship’. Staff discussed in their groups on how a teacher can develop trust among their students. Each group came out with many good opinions. They said that trust can be developed by collaborating with students by mutual understanding, listening patiently to the students in a positive manner, by motivating the students, praising and rewarding the students. Trust can be developed by believing in oneself and sharing their experiences with the students. Students should be given a free environment so that they can feel free to share their difficulties with their teachers. Interaction in a friendly manner will create a free and happy environment for a student. Love and Care is the most necessary element of trust. It was announced that from now onwards Prerna Rathod will be the Coordinator for PDP Session.

Value of Words
Words can be impressive and expressive.
Words can destroy a relation.
Words can make rivals and friends too.
A word said cannot be taken back.
Words can make someone love and also hate.
Words have a strong impact on humans.
Words can work on feelings and emotions.
So check your words before using them,
Because you are saying it to a person like yourself,
Who has a brain that functions and heart that feels?

In the journey of life

The creature of the Earth had made a fantastic thing on the Earth that is human and this god also given human some extraordinary powers from which he can decide what good and bad means feeling is. The man is born to achieve something special in life and in the journey of life he faces many struggle, risks and happiness. When a baby is born then he is kept in the care of his mother and when he grows up he is sent to school or is taught the family occupation. Many of them acquire success in their fields and many of them do not. Man’s life is the life which faces many problems and the person who comes across these problems leave a sign on people’s heart and mind. Man take birth without having anything and goes without taking anything but one thing that the man leaves is a sign about his attitude and achievement. During the journey of life people’s main focus remain on their aim that they want to achieve but these people cannot be called a happy human. Happy human is one who works hard for his aim with the love and enjoyment of life and enjoys every second of life, and then the man can be called a happy human who walks happily and enjoys the journey of life. - Khushi Malviya/ X/ DH

जय जवान
हे जवान,
करता हुँ मैं तुझे सलाम ।
तु है हमारा रक्षक,
तूने मिटाए कितने भक्षक।
माँ माना इस धरती को तूने,
दे दिया बलिदान ।
गोली खाई सीने मे ,
अपनाई देश भक्ति की राह ।
हे जवान
है तु बड़ा महान
फ़ौज मे होते हो भर्ती छोड़ कर मोह-माया,
तपते हो तुम धुप में देकर हमको छाया।
जहां तुम्हे याद करेगा,
करेगी ये जमीन ।
तुम बॉर्डर पर मरते हो,
देकर हमें चैन की नींद ।
हे जवान,
करता हुँ मैं तुझे सलाम ।
