The Memoir of 6 Golden Years

This is the story of a child who went to his maternal grandmother's house after taking his Annual Exams in Class V. He was enjoying his holidays when a thunderclap of news came his father was coming to pick him up because his results were out. The boy was well aware that he was considered below average by his teachers, who often passed out of grace. They used to complain that he was a "dumb boy" who came to school, carried his bag, and left without making any meaningful impact.

His father had decided to transfer him to a new school, which came as a shock to the boy. He knew he would lose all the friends he had worked so hard to make and leave behind the world he had slowly built for himself—a particularly challenging reality for an introverted child like him.

The boy accompanied his father to the new school for admission, and soon after, the first day of this new chapter arrived. He was overwhelmed with nervousness and underconfidence, wondering how he would make new friends or adapt to this unfamiliar environment. As he entered his new classroom, surrounded by unfamiliar faces, he felt lost and alone amidst hundreds of students.

Day by day, he tried to adjust to his new world. Then came the announcement of the first inter-house debate of the year. His teachers insisted that he participate, unaware that he had never been on stage. With guidance from his teachers and the help of Google, he prepared a speech. Writing wasn’t the hardest part—speaking was.

The day of the debate arrived, and it was his turn to speak. Terrified and shivering, he approached the podium, clutching his speech paper. Fear gripped him what if someone laughed at him? Mustering all his courage, he turned on the mic and began in a hesitant voice: “Good mor… morning… one.” It was incredibly difficult, but somehow, he completed his speech.

At that point, the boy was someone who struggled to read and write properly. He couldn’t even do basic calculations, and as his teachers described him, he was a "dumb child." But with time, effort, and determination, he began to improve.

Fast-forward to Class 10—the board exams, a societal taboo often used to compare and judge young minds. The boy worked incredibly hard and scored an impressive 83%. Despite this, he was still compared to others, and no one truly appreciated the journey he had taken—from barely passing to excelling. But the boy didn’t mind; he was proud of himself.

Although Mathematics remained his weakest subject, he chose Science with Mathematics in Class XI and worked even harder. When nominations for the position of Assistant School Captain were announced, he decided to nominate himself—and he won. No one understood how he managed to achieve this, but someone above, watching his efforts, was surely appreciating his hard work.

The boy’s greatest strength was his ability to dream big. He believed in himself when no one else did. Everything happening to him felt like a dream, but he knew he was living his own dream.

Then came Class 12 his final year of school. It was a flood of emotions and heartbreak, knowing he would soon have to say goodbye to the place that had transformed him. His journey was never easy; it was filled with highs, lows, and taunts. But it was this journey—this ongoing effort—that shaped him into the person he is today.

Looking back, he believes miracles do happen, especially at Fabindia, his school, which made him capable enough to write this article. Every teacher in his life acted as a sculptor, shaping him. He now understands that the ultimate goal of education is not just about marks but about building character and creating a successful future.

This journey was only possible because of his family—his parents, his sister, and his principal, Ms. Rajshree Shihag. To all his teachers, and to Fabindia, he owes immense gratitude. It is heartbreaking for him to bid farewell in two months, but his heart is full of appreciation.

Thank you, everyone, for leading me to where I am today.

How I Spent My Last Sunday

After six busy days, Sunday was a day of enjoyment for me. It is, and always has been, a very special day as I can enjoy the whole day to the fullest. I woke up early in the morning around 6:25 A.M. I took bath, got ready, and enjoyed delicious aloo parathas with milk. Then I studied for an hour, finished my homework, and went on to watch a cartoon film on television.  

My friends arrived at my home around midday. We talked about many things and had a good lunch together. In the evening, around 5 o'clock, I played games with my friends, and we continued until 7:30 P.M. After that, my friends departed for their homes.

The Importance of Patience

Patience means staying calm and waiting without getting angry or upset. It is an important skill that helps us in many parts of life. Whether we are learning something new, working towards a goal, or dealing with problems, patience makes everything easier.

When we are patient, we can think more clearly and make better decisions. It also helps us get along with others because we take time to understand their feelings and ideas. Being patient shows respect and care, which can strengthen relationships.

Good things often take time to happen. For example, learning to play an instrument, growing a plant, or achieving a dream needs effort and patience. If we rush, we might give up too soon. But if we stay patient, we can achieve more than we imagined.

We can practice patience by staying calm when things don’t go as planned, taking deep breaths, and focusing on the positive. Over time, patience becomes a habit that makes life more peaceful and rewarding.

Patience is not just about waiting—it’s about how we wait. By being patient, we show strength, kindness, and hope for the future.

 Importance of Respect 

Respect is one way of expressing love and gratitude towards others. It is an important component of personal self-identity and interpersonal relationships. We must respect and value others so that the rest of the world recognizes and respects us. It is a feeling of care for someone, which can be shown through good manners. There are several ways in which we can show respect to others. We all learned the value of respecting others from childhood. We all know that doing namaste when guests come to our home is a way of showing respect in our country. It is a gesture of acknowledgment and greeting people. We should not forget all these manners to succeed in our lives.

 पर्यावरण: हमारे जीवन का अभिन्न हिस्सा 

हमारा पर्यावरण हमारे अस्तित्व का अभिन्न हिस्सा है, और  यह हमारे जीवन की सभी आवश्यकताओं को पूरा करने में मदद करता है। यह न केवल हमारे शारीरिक स्वास्थ्य के लिए जरूरी है, बल्कि हमारी मानसिक और भावनात्मक स्थिति पर भी इसका गहरा प्रभाव पड़ता है। पर्यावरण का मतलब सिर्फ पेड़ पौधे और जानवर नहीं, बल्कि यह वह सभी तत्व है जो जीवन के लिए अनिवार्य है- जैसे हवा, पानी और सूर्य की रोशनी। प्राकृतिक संसाधन जैसे जल, जंगल, खनिज और जैव विविधता जीवन के लिए आवश्यक है। जल के बिना जीवन की कल्पना करना भी संभव नहीं है। यदि जल का सही तरीके से प्रबंधन न किया जाए तो यह हमारे अस्तित्व के लिए खतरे का कारण बन सकता है। इसी तरह जंगल न केवल ऑक्सीजन का स्रोत है, बल्कि यह पर्यावरण संतुलन बनाए रखने में भी मदद करते हैं। इसीलिए हमें पूरी कोशिश करनी चाहिए कि हम पेड़ों को काटने से रोके तथा नए पेड़ उगाए, ताकि हमारे जीवन का स्रोत यह पर्यावरण बचा रहे।

 HEALTH 

In this advancing world, we worry about everything except our "Health". By health, I don't just mean physical health, but mental & emotional health. People are so busy securing their future, that they often tend to ignore their health, thinking it will not create a problem. Just like our physical health is affected by the environment around us, in the same way, our mental health is affected by the people around us, and our emotional health is affected by the behavior of people toward us. These health are interrelated to each other as they can influence each other. 

To keep our physical health in good condition we must stay physically fit, for this we should exercise daily, eat healthy food, and keep ourselves hydrated. To maintain our mental health we should have a basic rule that we cannot control the actions of other people and hence we must not be bothered by their actions. For this, we must keep our mind and heart at peace, which we can do by meditation. To maintain our emotional health we must set boundaries. By boundaries, I mean to say that, if someone is not good for our emotional health then we must not allow them to affect us. 

At last, I would like to conclude by saying that take good care of your health not just physical health, but mental and emotional health also, as someone said it right : 

"HEALTH IS WEALTH".

 What’s anger? 

A man had just bought a new car and was polishing it with great enthusiasm. While doing so, he saw his 4-year-old son picking up stones and scratching lines on the sides of the car.

In anger, the man took the child’s hand and hit it many times with a wrench lying nearby not realizing that the child’s hands were too soft to handle such an attack.

At the hospital, the doctors had to amputate all the fingers as there were multiple fractures and the fingers were badly mashed. When the child saw his repenting father, he asked, ‘Dad when will my fingers grow back?’ The man was so hurt and speechless; he went back to his car and kicked it a lot of times. Devastated by his actions. Sitting in front of that car he looked at the scratches; the child had written ‘LOVE YOU, DAD’.

Anger and Love have no limits; choose the latter to have a beautiful, lovely life & remember this: Things are to be used and people are to be loved. The PROBLEM in today’s world is that people are USED while things are LOVED… Always keep this thought in mind.

Watch your thoughts; they become words…

Watch your words; they become actions…

Watch your actions; they become habits…

Watch your habits; they become character.

Watch your character; it becomes your destiny….

Remember today is the only day you’ll have before it’s over. …..

 Interview with Himanshu Rathore (Dhyanchand House Captain) 

Reporters /RP: Vijeta Solanki and Mohita Solanki  

RP: What qualities do you think are important for a House Captain?

Your role is to bring out the best in your team through dedication, positivity, and growth. Leadership is about fostering teamwork and creating a supportive environment. My journey shows that effort, perseverance, and unity matter more than excelling in just one area.  

RP: How has the school helped you?  

HRE: The school has helped me grow by providing academic knowledge and valuable life skills. It’s not just about books—sports and extracurricular activities have taught me teamwork, discipline, and perseverance. The friendly teachers, always ready to help and share their own school experiences, make learning more relatable. Leadership roles and working with others have boosted my confidence and problem-solving abilities. Overall, the school has prepared me for academic success and personal growth.  

RP: Any message for students and teachers?  

HRE: First of all, to the teachers: My deepest gratitude for your constant support, guidance, and passion for teaching. Your dedication inspires us and shapes our future in ways we may not always see but deeply appreciate.
