Happy World Book Day! Happy Reading!

In 1995, UNESCO decided that World Book and Copyright Day would be celebrated on 23rd April to celebrate prominent literary figures like William Shakespeare's whose birth and death anniversary fall on this day, along with Miguel de Cervantes and Inca Garcilaso de la Vega's death anniversary.

Presently reading has either become an extinct interest or literature and strong fiction has given way to an infantile obsession with vampires, mythological figures, and chic stories that are laced with mediocre language. This is because today, numerous alternate forms of entertainment are available which requires far less concentration and involvement than reading. World Book Day is a good chance to turn the pages of evergreen classics and bring back the reading habit.

Let us not let the flavour die!

Happy Reading! :)

Chandrayaan 2

Dear Parent

I earnestly request all of you not to sleep on September 6th but watch the final few hour's of OUR AWESOME SPACECRAFT, CHANDRAYAAN-2, as it will land on the South Pole of our moon around 1.40 AM on September 7th. Although, I have complete confidence in OUR OWN ISRO, please remember that we are dealing with lunar dust which is very fine and also electrically charged. So much so that it sticks to any surface....We need the collective prayers of 1.2 billion Indians to make this a great and unprecedented success. ISRO with a budget of $ 1.2 billion is really giving NASA, with a budget of $ 21 billion, a run for its money. Since I have so many dear friends who speak and write most major languages, not to speak of friends from every religion and residing in so many countries, I humbly request all of you to translate this message into your respective languages and forward to as many people as possible so it will reach every Indian on this planet. I have never ever made such a request so please honour me...BRAVO INDIA, BRAVO ISRO....

Class 7- activity- Write a Sonnet

The art of writing sonnets is unique and can be traced back to long past of Shakespeare's time or even before that. The word sonnet is derived from the Italian word “sonetto,” which means a “little song” or small lyric. In poetry, a sonnet has 14 lines, and is written in iambic pentameter. Each line has 10 syllables. ... Generally,sonnets are divided into different groups based on the rhyme scheme they follow.
Students attempted this difficult art and composed sonnets on topics of their choice.
