SCHOOLDAYS

 

FROM SAMPATH’S DESK:

 



SCHOOLDAYS

 

 

Had no WORRY;

 

Woke up daily as a fully charged BATTERY;

 

Never felt SORRY;

 

Fond of hearing STORY;

 

Lot of books and notes to CARRY;

 

Sometimes, some routines were monotonous  and DRUDGERY;

 

No SALARY, yet a lot of  GLORY;

 

Daily burnt many a CALORY,

 

Attempted BRAVERY and DEVILRY;

 

But mostly landed in a mere FAKERY;

 

With friends, maintained a good CHEMISTRY;

 

Boring subject was HISTORY;

 

Friendships were EXTRAORDINARY;

 

School life was always GLIMMERY and GLITTERY!

 

At times, we had sessions of MIMICRY;

 

Play and more play, and fun-making dominated our ITINERARY;

 

Bonding with each other was stronger like a mountain, and IVORY;

 

On the constructive side, group studies were MANDATORY;

 

Peer tutoring was eagerly VOLUNTARY;

 

Knowledge-sharing was EXEMPLARY;

 

Toward examination times, bright and updated classmates/schoolmates would,  in a nice gesture, make revisions for others COMPULSORY and  REGULATORY;

 

Even as we played, we always built a knowledge FACTORY;

 

All to make everyone pass and sail safe in the boat of VICTORY!

NETAJI SUBASH CHANDRA BOSE

FROM SAMPATH’S DESK:                 NETAJI SUBASH CHANDRA BOSE (23 January 1897-18 August 1945) PARAKRAM DIWAS - (DAY OF VALOUR)   Subash Chandra Bose was born on 23 rd January 1897 in Cuttack in the erstwhile Orissa Division of Bengal Province of the British India.   Though born into a large, wealthy, well-educated, and privileged Bengali family, the fire in him for the freedom of India was rather inextinguishable, and his thirst unquenchable. The British rulers jailed him in 1921-1922 because he took active interest in our national independence struggle. Again, in 1925, he was sent to prison in Mandalay for nationalist activities and released in 1927.   After being the President of the Indian National Congress during 1938-1939, differences arose with the top Congress leadership and he resigned from the post and party.   He advocated complete Swaraj and was in favour of the use of force, if necessary,...

FEATHERS OF POSITIVE PHILOSOPHY!

Image
From Sampath’s Desk :     FEATHERS OF POSITIVE PHILOSOPHY!     The concept of ‘philosophy’ used here is about the empirical aspects of life such as - how to find joy and happiness generally and to keep ourselves cool and unperturbed, clothed with feathers of positive philosophy in the face of ordeals and distress. Again, on the one side, it is about feeling self-joy, and on the other, a solace-seeking exercise during trials and tribulations. Some tips have been attempted here.   If you happen to be rich in wealth and affluent, think that God has given you the extra wealth and money for helping others. The best way to find joy and happiness is to make others happy by charity without expecting anything in return much less gratitude. It is only the possessor of wealth who should be actually grateful to God for providing him/her the opportunity to help the needy. It is of course easier said than done, but the real joy lies in giving and in going to the succo...

INDIAN DEFENCE PERSONNEL

  FROM SAMPATH’S DESK:     INDIAN DEFENCE PERSONNEL (Indian Army, Indian Navy and Indian Air Force) 15 January - Indian Army Day 4 December - Indian Navy Day 8 October - Indian Air  Force Day   Soldiers, while the whole nation sleeps, you remain awake; Ready for any sacrifice for our sake; You have a lot of renunciation to make; Abdication and abandonment of life comforts being your normal take!   National battlers, when all relax in their sweet homes, you lie down on a bed of thorns; At times, locking and taking the enemy bull by its horns; Constantly addressing our safety and security concerns; Remaining ever alert in our borders of inhospitable and hostile patterns! Armed Forces and National Guards, you have two spiteful and cantankerous neighbours to grapple with; For taking them head-on whenever necessary, not fearing even death; People of India have in you the fullest faith; Your physical strength and mental makeup are ...
