Yaashna Goyal, XII C Kavish, VIII C Editorial: “Flights of Fantasy” Imagination is the spark that lights the torch of progress, and fantasy is its most vibrant flame. It is with immense joy and creative fervor that we present this year’s edition of our school magazine, themed 'Flights of Fantasy.' In a world where facts often dominate, fantasy reminds us of the importance of dreaming beyond the limits of logic, and reaching for the skies of possibility.

This theme invites us all—students, teachers, and readers alike—to unshackle our minds from the ordinary and to explore the extraordinary. 'Flights of Fantasy' celebrates the curious minds that dare to wander, to wonder, and to weave stories that defy boundaries. Whether it’s a tale of distant galaxies, talking animals, enchanted forests, or invisible cities—fantasy nurtures the soul, develops creativity, and helps us understand the world through new and imaginative perspectives. In this issue, you will discover a colourful collection of stories, poems, essays, artwork, and reflections—all echoing the spirit of this theme. Each contribution is a window into a world where imagination takes the pilot’s seat, steering us through magical landscapes, futuristic dreams, and heartfelt adventures. These pieces are not just works of art; they are expressions of young minds daring to dream without fear or restraint.

As we turn each page, we are reminded that every great invention, every revolution in thought, and every leap in progress began as a wild idea—a fantasy, once scoffed at, now celebrated. So let us not shy away from fantasy. Instead, let us embrace it, for it is in dreaming that we find the seeds of tomorrow’s realities.

We thank all our contributors, teachers, and mentors for nurturing the spirit of imagination. To our readers: may this edition inspire you to dream more, imagine more, and create fearlessly.

“Let your thoughts take flight. After all, the sky is not the limit—it’s just the beginning.”

Happy reading!

Nita Pathak, Head of Editorial Board

OUR VISIONARIES

Mr. Raj Singh Gehlot Founder & Chairman of Ambience Group “The future belongs to those who dare to shape it with courage, conviction and conscience.”

Dear Trailblazers of Ambience Public School

Every generation stands at the threshold of possibility but few truly recognize the power within to redefine it. Today, I see before me not merely students but visionaries, creators and custodians of values, each capable of leaving an indelible mark on the world. This magazine is more than a record of achievements; it is a celebration of your imagination, intellect and the relentless spirit that propels you forward.

Education is the forge where knowledge meets purpose and curiosity is transformed into action. It demands courage to question, discipline to persevere and wisdom to discern the right path even when the road is uncharted. It is not measured solely in grades or accolades but in the character you cultivate, the challenges you overcome and the impact you leave behind.

The world awaiting you is vast, dynamic and unyielding. It seeks thinkers who innovate, leaders who empathize and citizens who act with integrity. Let ambition be guided by purpose, knowledge tempered with humility and success defined by the lives you uplift. Stand fearless in adversity, rise with resilience and let each endeavour be a testament to the values instilled within these walls.

As you leaf through the pages of this magazine, let them ignite your imagination, reinforce your courage and remind you of your limitless potential. May they inspire you to dream audaciously, act decisively and craft a legacy that resonates far beyond your years.

Remember, greatness is not a gift bestowed. It is earned through vision, persistence and unwavering ethical resolve. Lead boldly, act judiciously and let your life be a beacon of inspiration for generations to come.

With unwavering faith in your abilities and immense pride in your journey, I leave you with the following thoughts:

“Be architects of change, guardians of values and pioneers of a future only you can shape.”

OUR VISIONARIES

Mrs. Sheela Gehlot Co-Chairperson Ambience Group "विőजेता वो नहीं̅ होते जो कभी असफल नहीं̅ होते, बल्किȻ� वो होते हैं जो कभी हार नहीं̅ मानते।"

हमारे वि�द्यालय की वार्षिॱिक पत्रिਲका का प्रकाशन हम सभी के लि६ए हर्ष और गर्वव का वि�षय है।

अनुसार न आएँ, तो नि�राश न हों—हर अनुभव आपको कुछ नया सि�खाने के लि६ए आता है। “हम चाहते हैं कि� हमारे वि�द्यार्थी न केवल अकादमि�क क्षेत्र में उत्कृष्ट हों, बल्कि৹� वे भावनात्मक सहनशीलता, सामाजि�क जागरूकता और नैति�क दि�शा वि�कसि�त करें, जि�सकी उन्हें जीवन में आवश्यकता होगी। वे प्रति�स्पर्धी दुनि�या में दयालु बनें, अनि�श्चिଏत समय में साहसी रहें, और करुणा व साहस के साथ नेतृत्व करें।”

हम चाहते हैं कि� वि�द्यार्थी केवल परीक्षा में अच्छे अंक प्राप्त करने तक सीमि�त न रहें, बल्कि৹� अच्छे इंसान बनने की दि�शा में भी नि�रंतर आगे बढ़ें। सच्चाई, सम्मान, सहयोग और जि�म्मेदारी जैसे मूल्य ही आपके व्यक्ति૰त्व को मजबूत बनाते हैं। याद रखि�ए, ज्ञान आपको सफल बनाता है, पर संस्कार आपको महान बनाते हैं।

वि�द्यालय केवल शि॰क्षा का मंदि�र ही नहीं, बल्कि৹� वह स्थान है जहाँऻ बच्चों के व्यक्ति૰त्व का सर्वां૝गीण वि�कास होता है।

वि�द्यालय का वातावरण वि�द्यार्थि�ियों को सीखने, सोचने, प्रश्न पूछने और अपनी प्रति�भा को पहचानने के अवसर देता है। खेल, कला, साहि�त्य और सह-पाठ्य गति�वि�धि�याँऻ बच्चों के आत्मवि�श्वास को बढ़ाती हैं और बच्चों को जीवन के लि६ए तैयार करती हैं। इसीलि६ए मैं चाहती हूँ कि� मेरे वि�द्यालय का हर बच्चा हर मंच पर भाग ले, क्योंकि� हर अनुभव बच्चे को और बेहतर बनाता है।

कक्षा में दी जाने वाली शि॰क्षा, अनुशासन, सह-पाठ्यक्रम गति�वि�धि�याँऻ, खेल-कूद, सां�स्कृति�क कार्ययक्रम और सामाजि�क दायि�त्व—ये सभी मि�लकर एक वि�द्यार्थी को उत्कृष्ट नागरि�क बनने की राह दि�खाते हैं।

हमारा यह सदैव वि�श्वास रहा है कि� शि॰क्षा केवल पुस्तकों तक सीमि�त नहीं होती, बल्कि৹� यह जीवन को समझने और उसे सही दि�शा देने की प्रक्रि�या है

मेरे प्यारे बच्चों! बड़े सपने देखि�ए और उन्हें पूरा करने के लि६ए पूरे समर्पण के साथ कार्यय कीजि�ए। अपने शि॰क्षकों के मार्गगदर्शशन और अपने माता-पि�ता के वि�श्वास को अपनी सबसे बड़ी शक्ति૰ बनाएँ। जब हम मेहनत और अच्छे मूल्यों को साथ लेकर चलते हैं, तब सफलता नि�श्चिଏत होती है।

शि॰क्षा का उद्देश्य प्रत्येक बच्चे का सर्वां૝गीण वि�कास करना है, ताकि� वह बौद्धिଇक रूप से सक्षम, भावनात्मक रूप से संवेदनशील, सामाजि�क रूप से जागरूक और नैति�क रूप से मजबूत बन सके।

हमारा वि�श्वास है कि� हमारे वि�द्यालय के सभी वि�द्यार्थी अपने आचरण , परि�श्रम और उपलब्धि৴ियों से न केवल अपने परि�वार और वि�द्यालय, बल्कि৹� पूरे समाज का नाम रोशन करेंगे।

जीवन में आगे बढ़ने के लि६ए प्रति�भा महत्वपूर्णण है, परंतु उससे भी अधि�क आवश्यक है नि�यमि�त मेहनत, अनुशासन और सकारात्मक सोच। सफलता का कोई शॉर्टटकटट नहीं होता। जो वि�द्यार्थी धैर्यय के साथ नि�रंतर प्रयास करते हैं, वही अपने सपनों को साकार करते हैं। यदि� कभी परि�णाम आपकी अपेक्षा के

“हर दि�न थोड़ा सीखो, थोड़ा आगे बढ़ो और कभी मेहनत करना मत छोड़ो—यही सफलता का सबसे सच्चा मार्गग है।”

सप्रेम शुभकामनाएँ 3 Mrs. Jeanie Naozer Aibara Director, Ambience Public School, “Learning is not attained by chance; it must be sought for with ardour and

diligence” — Abigail Adams Schooling is the accumulation of knowledge, the mastering of exams, and the pursuit of perfect scores. But education is something deeper. It is the quiet awakening of the mind and the steady shaping of character. It is not about filling a child with facts, but about lighting a flame that continues to burn long after they leave the classroom. It is not about using the learned facts to achieve worldly success, but about using the knowledge to help others and leave the world a better place than the one we inherited.

stayed with me, or state-of-the-art facilities offered, not the great programmes we designed, not even the top performances of students in board exams - yes we did all that; we made many advances that made us proud and brought us ample rewards and satisfaction. But what has stayed with me are the faces of our brilliant students, always curious about the world around them, restless for the next challenge, hopeful of the future, and full of possibilities on how they will change the world. It is through those faces of our students that I came to recognize and continue to understand the true meaning of education.

Every child who walks into a school carries a gift. Some gifts are easy to recognize as they come in the form of academic excellence and creative brilliance. Others are quiet - kindness, resilience, curiosity, and the courage to stand by truth. Our duty as educators and as a community is not to compare these gifts among children; our duty is to nurture them so that every child knows she or he is special, each in their own way shining the light for those around them.

Of course, knowledge and creativity alone are not enough. Education must also build conscience. Today success is defined by professional status, income, and its rewards and these are certainly worth pursuing but we must teach children to think not only about what they can achieve, but who they become in the process. True education and the success that follows is not measured by personal gain alone, but by the ability to uplift others. In a world that emphasizes competition, we must remind our children of compassion. In a world that is becoming increasingly reactive, we must teach our children to be responsive to the needs of others.

One of the greatest responsibilities of education is to teach children to question. A questioning mind is a living mind. When children ask questions they are not being difficult; rather, they are being thoughtful. When they challenge our ideas, they are not being resistant— they are learning to think. In their questions, lie the kernels of discovery and progress.

We cannot ignore the realities beyond our school walls. There are those who lack opportunities, resources, and even basic necessities. Education means being cognizant of this and inspiring them to care, to act, and to give back. The educated mind must walk hand in hand with a compassionate heart. If we can teach our children this, then we truly are an educational giant.

Alongside questioning must come exploration. Children should feel free to venture beyond textbooks and factual learning, to experiment, perhaps to fail, and then to try again. Learning does not happen only within the boundaries of a syllabus or school curriculum; it happens when a child wonders, imagines, and dares to explore the unknown. As teachers, principals, and parents we must create spaces where curiosity and exploration are encouraged.

As I write this, I feel a deep sense of hope. The future does not depend on how much our children know, but on how wisely they use what they know. If they learn to question with courage, explore with curiosity, create with integrity, and care with sincerity, then they will not only succeed—they will make the world better.

When I look back on my years as a principal of this wonderful school, it is not the beautiful buildings that

4 Mrs. Himani Asija Principal “Education is not just about going to school and getting a degree. It’s about widening your knowledge and absorbing the truth about life.”

— Shakuntala Devi As we stand at the threshold of a new academic year, we find ourselves in a world that is evolving rapidly— socially, technologically, and environmentally. In such a dynamic environment, the purpose of education extends far beyond academic achievement. It is about shaping character, nurturing empathy, and equipping individuals with the wisdom, integrity, and resilience needed to navigate life. At Ambience Public School, we believe that education should enlighten the mind, enrich the heart, and empower the spirit, enabling students not only to succeed but also to contribute meaningfully to society.

The early years of schooling lay a strong foundation for both academic and emotional growth. By strengthening reading, writing, and arithmetic skills, we prepare learners for future success. Our experiential approach encourages deep understanding, meaningful application, and a genuine love for learning, aligned with NEP 2020 and NCF 2023.

Innovation and curiosity are integral to our philosophy. Facilities like the Atal Tinkering Lab, Reflection Centre, and Teaching and Learning Centre foster creativity, critical thinking, and personalized growth. Our commitment to sustainability through eco-clubs, a plastic-free campus, and outreach programmes nurtures responsible global citizens.

Our vision is rooted in the belief that every child is unique and full of potential. Guided by empathy and purpose, education becomes a transformative force that nurtures confident, compassionate, and capable learners. We strive to create an environment where students and teachers grow together, with a strong focus on academics, discipline, ethics, and personality development. The mental and emotional well-being of our students remains central, supported through wellness programmes, counselling, and mindfulness practices that build resilience and self-awareness.

Through continuous teacher development and progressive assessment practices, we promote holistic growth. Guided by our motto, ‘Humanity First,’ we inspire students to lead with compassion, responsibility, and a lifelong love for learning.

As we move forward, we remain committed to nurturing a generation that is intellectually capable, emotionally grounded, and socially responsible. Learning, we believe, is a lifelong journey — a continuous process of discovery, reflection, and growth. Therefore, we draw strength from the timeless Gandhian wisdom: “Live as if you were to die tomorrow, learn as if you were to live forever.”

I extend my heartfelt gratitude to our dedicated teachers, supportive parents, and diligent students who together form the heart of our school community. Your trust, collaboration, and shared vision continue to inspire us to aim higher and dream bigger.

As we embrace another year of exploration and innovation, let us continue to believe that education is not merely about acquiring knowledge but about transforming lives. It is through education that we widen our understanding, deepen our compassion, and create a better, more humane world.

LEADING BY EXAMPLE

From the Ink of Junior Head Girl/Boy

स्वामी वि�वेकानंद जी ने कहा था – “उठो, जागो और तब तक मत रुको जब तक लक्ष्य की प्राप्ति৴ि न हो जाए।”

इन्हीं शब्दों से प्रेरणा लेकर मैं, हेड गर्लल होने पर गौरव और आभार व्यक्त करती हूँ। यह पद केवल सम्मान नहीं, एक ज़ि঎म्मेदारी है। यह अवसर केवल नेतृत्व का नहीं, बल्कि৹� सेवा और समर्पण का है।

नेतृत्व मेरे लि६ए दूसरों की सेवा का नाम है – कि�सी पर शासन करने का नहीं, बल्कि৹� साथ चलकर उन्हें आगे बढ़ाने का। हमारा वि�द्यालय सि�र्फफ कि�ताबें और परीक्षाएँ नहीं सि�खाता, बल्कि৹� हमें इंसानि�यत के रास्ते पर चलना सि�खाता है। हमारा मूल मंत्र ‘Humanity First’ यानी ‘मानवता सर्वोपरि�’ हमें हर कदम पर यह याद दि�लाता है कि� सबसे बड़ा धर्मम इंसानि�यत है। इस आदर्शश को मैं अपने जीवन का मार्गग बनाना चाहती हूँ। मैं यह वचन देती हूँ कि� मैं सभी साथि�यों के साथ संवेदना, सहयोग और समानता का व्यवहार करूँगी।

मेरा उद्देश्य है एक सकारात्मक, सुरक्षि�त और प्रेरणादायक वातावरण बनाना, सभी वि�द्यार्थि�ियों के आत्मवि�श्वास को बढ़ाना, और यह सुनि�श्चिଏत करना कि� हम सभी ‘Humanity First’ के सि�द्धां�त को अपने वि�चारों और कर्मों में उतार सकें।

आइए, हम सब मि�लकर इंसानि�यत की इस लौ को जलाए रखें। मेधावी छिॗब्बर हेड गर्लल “Leadership is not about being the best; it’s about making everyone else better.”

As the Head Boy of Ambience Public School’s Junior School Council, I embrace this role with pride and gratitude. It reminds me to listen more, care more, and do more—not to command, but to uplift. Ambience is more than just classrooms; it is a place of dreams, inspiration, and life lessons, where I have learned to believe in myself. Teachers’ kindness and guidance have lit my path. Fellowmates, your friendship and shared growth make us a family. Management, your trust fuels our passion.

My vision is of a junior school where every voice matters, every talent shines, and every child feels proud. We will choose kindness over competition, cooperation over comparison, and compassion over criticism—building joy, friendships, and values that go beyond achievements.

I trust our student council—bright and responsible students who are ready to voice their peers’ needs, assist teachers, and represent our school with pride. Together, we will make our junior school a beacon of unity and positivity.

I dedicate myself to honest service, humble leadership and a compassionate heart, with an aim to uplifting us all together.

Anshul Kushwaha Head Boy

6 “अगर ठान लो तो मुश्कि৾�ल कुछ भी नहीं, हर राह आसान बन जाती है। जो हो जज़्बा कुछ करने का, तो पहचान आसमान बन जाती है।”

मैं आज जो कुछ भी हूँ, उसमें वि�द्यालय का बहुत बड़ा योगदान है। यहाँऻ न केवल मुझे शि॰क्षा मि�ली, बल्कि৹� नेतृत्व, अनुशासन, आत्म-वि�श्वास और सेवा का भाव भी मि�ला। हेड गर्लल के रूप में मेरा उद्देश्य सि�र्फफ नि�यम बनाना या नि�गरानी करना नहीं है, बल्कि৹� हर वि�द्यार्थी की आवा

“If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more, and become more, you are a leader.”

The mantle of Head Boy isn’t just a designation, it’s a symbol of inspiration and leadership to those who soon wish to be in the same position. That’s why I am so grateful for being provided the opportunity to serve as the Senior Head Boy of Ambience Public School, and at the same time, being the entity whose duty is to ignite the spirit of Humanity First in every student across the school.

Being the essence of our school, the phrase ‘Humanity First’ describes the true nature and true aspirations of every student that is a part of this institution, to build a world with humanity as its foundation. This phrase instills in our students a responsibility to uphold moral values in their life’s endeavours and to light the torch of humanity on the world.

The life lessons learnt in school are crucial for each child who aspires to be a harbinger of change in the world as it allows us to understand the significance of growth as a whole instead of personal ambitions. The student council is a perfect instance of students utilising this mindset that the school instills in us, to make use of our capabilities for the need and betterment of all.

I encourage my juniors to take their best stance in promoting the values of our school and its spirit in every endeavour of life they participate in for their personal interests, as to make the world a better place. The torch of humanity lies in your hands, so light the path which allows you to make a change and provide for others.

Class with the Devil and His Brother?

The Land of Dreams

HUES OF INNOCENCE

I never wanted to go to tuition. But after my math marks hit rock bottom, my parents dragged me to Mr. Kumar’s tuition center — or as I now call it, The Devil’s Den.

The birds, the trees, The clear blue skies. The land of my dreams, Where I want to be day & night.

The place was strange from the start. The lights buzzed occasionally and the smell of faint burning always lingered. The walls had old Latin phrases framed like inspirational quotes, except one of them literally translated to “The weak shall be removed.”

The water, so clean my mind goes blank The people so kind, my heart feels bland The birds, the trees, The clear blue skies. The land of my dreams, Where I want to be day & night….

Mr. Kumar himself was tall, pale, and always wore black. He didn’t smile much. When he did, it looked like it hurt. “Don’t break the rules” was the first thing he muttered to me when I first stepped into the center.

Aryan M S, X C He wasn’t joking. The rules were printed on a red sheet of paper: 1. Do not look into the hallway mirror. 2. Do not yawn. 3. Do not touch the red-covered book. 4. Do not ask about former students. Guess what I wanted to do first?

Oh! How Beautiful is the World Oh how beautiful is the world Trees as green as an emerald Forests as big as countries And old as centuries

It started small. Once, I saw him leave the room but just two seconds later, he was somehow already back, correcting a paper. Another time, I watched his reflection in the mirror keep moving even after he stood still.

Oh how beautiful is the world Water as blue as the sky So many stories that haven’t been told Oh my my my

“You’re overthinking,” said Rishi, the only guy who seemed sane (other than me, of course). “It’s just tuition.” But a week later, Rishi stopped coming. Vanished. Mr. Kumar said, “Some students don’t survive the pressure.” Then gave us a worksheet titled: “MATH TEST – JUDGEMENT DAY.” I had to know the truth. So I stayed behind one day, hiding behind the shelf near the back.

Oh how beautiful is the world

Veera Kaur, 7 A At exactly 6:45, Mr. Kumar walked in. He sat down and began grading papers. Then, footsteps upstairs. Another Mr. Kumar, identical, came down the stairs. Same clothes. Same serious face.

Drifting Beauty

The bird-filled sky, Admires the river. The trees fill space, The wind makes them shiver.

“Get the red book,” one said. “We begin tonight,” said the other. I felt my heart skip a beat. Without wasting any time, I rushed out the door.

The next day, I exploded. “There are TWO of you!” I shouted. “You’re not human — you’re some kind of demon!”

Father & Son slowly drift Before they go to the city, The father reminisces his days While the son finds the sky pretty.

Everyone stared.

Then Mr. Kumar burst out laughing. Not evil laughter. Actual tears in his eyes kind of laughter. Moments later, the second Mr. Kumar walked in. “Class,” he said, wiping tears, “meet my twin brother. Vikram. He helps me run the tuition.” “Hi,” said Vikram, casually biting into an apple.

Aditya M S, X B

My Parents

“But... the shadows, the mirror, the rules?” I asked. Mr. Kumar smiled. “Fear makes you focus. When I was friendly, students didn’t care. So we made the place a little spooky. Fake rules, flickering lights, staged footsteps. And Vikram plays the ‘devil’s clone.’”

Me and my parents, are like grass and sun. Like Sun makes light, They keep my future glowing and bright. My father is the superhero. My mother is the angel . She cooks food like a miracle. My father inspires me, my mother motivates. I give them the love I got. I love them a lot.

“You scared us on purpose?” “Last year, my students averaged 43%. This year? You all are memorizing trigonometry out of sheer terror. Worth it.”

“And Rishi?” “On vacation. His mom sends me photos.” Honestly? It worked. I studied harder than ever. I even dreamed about math equations chasing me through fire.

I topped the next test.

Harbani Kochar, X A Jayant Srivastava, VII A 110 Beyond Exams: How Competencies Shape Careers

HUES OF INNOCENCE

‘Grades fade. Titles change. But the skills you master and the value you bring? That’s what builds a career’. Steve Jobs, an American entrepreneur, inventor, and business visionary best known as the co-founder of Apple Inc wasn’t the most technical person at Apple, but he had a vision and could communicate ideas so powerfully that people rallied around him. His design, thinking and product intuition changed the entire industry. His ability to envision the future and inspire others to build it was a game-changing skill. The question has shifted from “What did you study?” to “What can you do?” Age and credentials don’t define leadership; it simply relies on skills like communication, empathy, decision-making, and teamwork, none of which are directly tested in exams. Indeed, examinations teach students how to plan, prioritise, and manage stress, which builds lifelong habits that are essential for careers, relationships, and personal growth. However, success today demands emotional intelligence, adaptability, creativity, and resilience. The ability to keep learning, pick up new tools, adapt to change, and solve emerging problems is a competency in itself and it’s far more valuable than static textbook knowledge.

of teamwork, of aligning with people from different backgrounds and ideas, and finding common ground to achieve a shared goal. It’s in these moments, not during exams that I discovered who I truly am and what I can become. Competencies like time management, adaptability, and confidence helped me balance studies with responsibilities and still show up with passion. These experiences have fueled my ambition, not just for a career, but for a life of impact. I now believe that success is not defined by a score, but by the value we create for others. As I move toward college and beyond, I carry the mindset of a leader, ready to learn, to build, and to lead by example. The world is changing fast, and we need more than memorised answers. We need adaptable, emotionally intelligent, and purpose-driven individuals. That’s the kind of person I strive to be. Not just someone who performs well in exams, but someone who makes a difference. I want to be the kind of individual who brings people together, even when opinions clash. Initiative matters more than instructions. And passion matters more than perfection. As I prepare for the future, I carry more than lessons. I carry leadership, resilience, and purpose. I’m not defined by numbers on a paper, but by the change I’m willing to create and that, I believe, is what true success looks like. I’ve had to make tough choices, manage deadlines, and work with people whose ideas were very different from mine. In doing so, I’ve learned the value of listening before reacting, of staying calm under pressure, and of believing in a bigger goal than just personal recognition. These are skills that no textbook can teach, yet they’ve shaped me more than any syllabus ever could. I won’t let a percentage define my future. I choose to be defined by my principles, by my actions, and by the change I aim to create. The real success isn’t about being better than someone else. It’s about being better than who you were yesterday and using that growth to build a future that matters.

by a number on a report card. They are built through real-world experiences through group projects, challenges, failures, and everyday moments where we choose to lead, to grow, and to rise. From my own experience in student leadership, I’ve learned that it’s not just about being right, it’s about being responsible. Not just about speaking but knowing when to listen. These are the competencies that shape resilient, self-aware individuals ready for the demands of the future. In a world where industries change rapidly and problems are complex, being competent matters more than being perfect. The future doesn’t belong to those who only score high, it belongs to those who can think clearly, act ethically, adapt fast, and lead with empathy. So, as I move forward, I no longer chase success in the form of marks alone. I choose to build my competencies, knowing that they will shape not only my career, but the kind of impact I want to leave behind. Because in the end, it’s not about being the top of the class. It’s about being ready for the real world. I would always prefer being recognised by my skill set and confidence to overlap hurdles, not by what I had to feed into my mind and jot down on a piece of paper.

Aanya Ahuja, XII-A As a 12th-grade student standing at the edge of academic life and future aspirations, I’ve come to realise an important truth: exams may measure what we remember, but they don’t always reflect what we’re capable of. As a student council member, I’ve had the unique opportunity to experience leadership firsthand and it’s this experience that has taught me that competencies are what truly shape our careers and define our potential. In the student council, I learned how to manage feedback, make quick decisions, handle criticism, and build consensus. This is what makes me thrive at the work I do, with tremendous potential and proficiency not just as a student, but as a leader, a team player, and a solution- driven thinker. These skills, which aren’t tested in any exam, are the very ones that prepare me for real-world success and long-term growth. As I prepare for the next chapter of my journey, I carry with me not just the academic lessons I’ve learned, but the leadership experiences that have shaped who I am becoming. I discovered the value

Humanity First

Humanity refers to the virtues and behaviours expected of humans such as kindness and empathy. It is a unifying force. It is an integral part of our society as man is a social animal and the acts of kindness and compassion towards others is what makes us better human beings. Our history is full of examples of great humanitarians such as Nelson Mandela and Mother Teresa. We should take inspiration from them. We don’t need vast resources to showcase humanity. Simple acts of kindness, helping and sharing makes us better human beings. Our actions help heel others and the society as a whole. If we don’t have humanity in us, what is the use of living in a society. Do you also have humanity? Have you helped anyone?

Throughout this essay, I’ve explored how competencies such as leadership, emotional intelligence, adaptability, and decision-making are not only important, but essential in shaping our future careers. These traits can’t be captured

The Teacher and the Child Within

Wings of Wonder

HUES OF INNOCENCE

“A teacher does not simply teach — she becomes the wind beneath wings and the light inside dreams.”

I mount a cloud, soft as a dream, And soar above a silver stream. The sky is painted pink and gold, A work of wonder to be hold,

Every morning, I walk into school with my diary of plans, my heart full of hope, and my mind eager to guide. Yet, the moment I see those young faces — curious, bright, expectant

Dragons curl in rings of fire, Their eyes like lanterns, never tire. Unicorns with flowing manes, Gallop across the crystal plains.

— I am reminded that I am not just a teacher standing before children. I am also a child, learning silently beside them, discovering life through their eyes.

For in every child, I see a new universe — untouched, innocent, and shimmering with possibilities. And in their gaze, I see something profound:

Floating islands drift on air, With castles built beyond compare. Rivers sparkle, rivers sing, Carrying whispers of everything.

A child does not just learn from a teacher... a child believes in one.

They look at me not as someone who knows everything, but as someone who knows how to make them feel seen, safe, and capable. To them, I am not simply a lesson-giver. I am a dream-keeper. A problem-solver. A comfort-giver. A quiet hero.

Giant flowers, tall as towers, Opens petals to sunlit hours. Bees the size of tiny boats, Buzz along in shimmering coats.

A child watches me with eyes full of trust — eyes that whisper, I ride a comet through the night, Chasing moons that glows so bright. Stars play hide and seek above, Lighting paths for dreamer I love.

“Teach me, guide me, hold my hand… but also see the little dreamer inside me.” And in those eyes, I find my greatest lessons. I learn patience from the child who tries again despite stumbling. I learn purity of love from the little arms that offer sudden hugs. I learn resilience from trembling voices answering bravely. I learn forgiveness from tiny hearts that forget anger within minutes. I learn gratitude from smiles that light up just because I said, “Well done!”

Talking owls and foxes wise, Offer riddles as my prize. Through forests where the tree all hums, I find the place where dreams came from.

No rule can bind this skyward flight, No ends to wonder, no worry or right. Imagination is my key, Unlocking worlds where I am free.

Children look to us for wisdom — yet they unknowingly become our teachers. Their innocence humbles my pride. Their curiosity stirs my intellect. Their laughter heals my tired soul. Their trust strengthens my resolve to be worthy of it.

So close your eyes and hold my hand, Well fly together this land. A world where fantasy takes wing, And every hearts can laugh and sing.

Sometimes I see a child staring at me, studying me silently — not my lesson, but my kindness.

To them, I am not merely teaching English, maths, or science — I am teaching how to be gentle, how to persevere, how to dream boldly and rise gracefully.

Prisha, VI C They may forget formulas and dates. But they will remember how I made them feel — seen, valued, loved, capable, courageous, enough.

Dare to Dream

Close your eyes, let your spirit soar, Beyond the clouds, past every door. Picture a place where your hopes reside, Where courage walks and fears subside.

And so, I teach — but I also learn.

I guide — but I also grow.

I light little lamps — but I also borrow their light to brighten my own journey.

I am a teacher, yes — but within me lives a student who refuses to stop learning. And beside me stands a child, believing in magic, believing in goodness, believing in me.

Let the hues of your heart softly blend, To craft a dream that knows no end. Hold it gently—let it gleam, Feed it love and let it dream.

Together, we are both growing — not just in knowledge, but in heart, spirit, and hope.

But dreams, like birds, are born to fly, So when it’s time, don’t question why. Release it to the sky so wide, And trust the winds to be its guide.

If ever the world wonders why teaching is sacred, let them see a child’s hand in mine — small fingers holding infinite trust. Let them hear that tiny voice saying, “Teacher, when I grow up, I want to be like you.”

In that moment, I know — I am not just shaping a future… I am being shaped by it.

Then close your eyes, begin once more, Seek a new dream to explore. Keep dreaming, daring, reaching high— For dreams are stars that light the sky.

And perhaps that is the most beautiful learning of all.

With Love, Rudransh Tyagi, VII A 112 Ms. Suruchi Wadhwa, TGT English

The Dream Painter

Colours of Nature’s Tapestry Wrapped in beautiful strings of colour, beneath fascinating clouds in the sky... With birds buzzing around, we hear their cheerful, chirping sound.

HUES OF INNOCENCE

He dipped his brush in midnight skies, And painted stars with wondering eyes. Each stroke he made a world anew, With purple grass and skies of blue.

Flowers bloom in colours sublime, while winds blow with repose and serene . Where sunlight falls like a blessing, gently enlightening the space.

He gave the moon a golden grin, And carved a castle on the wind. He taught the clouds to dance and play, And turned the night to bright ballet.

Flies hover in the sky with magnificent butterflies, as the river’s flowing sound reaches the celestials. Harmonious landforms stand in ease, draped in colours — a vibrant tapestry of love and peace.

The mountains whispered songs he knew, The rivers flowed with shades of hue. His canvas stretched from shore to star, No wall could hold his dreams afar.

The holy tree, the holy grass, the stillness of every other plant. “Can you find a place better than this?” nature asks, where one could feel everything at once.

They said, “Be still, the world is real,” But he replied with brush and zeal— “For in my art, the truth takes flight, And fantasy becomes the light.”

Sia Mishra, VII C So when he paints, he paints to be The boy who sets imagination free. No need for crown or cloak or throne— His dreams have wings all of their town.

Our Great Past Through the annals of time, never once forgotten The bravehearts that gave up their lives Undaunted by danger, they stood their ground They stood tall and strong, a legacy that lives on Their sacrifice was not in vain, for one day it paved the way

Rudransh Tyagi, VII A The Nature of Adventure Nature is a path, a way, Like a torch that lights the day. Nature is a land of peace, With countless trees and endless leaves.

The way to go, the way they showed The way we never knew would unfold For there was a time in 1857 When freedom fighters rose, their hearts full of pride For it was the time to bring on the battle

Fortunately their dreams have come true For us to live in this world anew Not anew in sight but when our hearts unite A strong bond that we share with might But the journey still lives on to this day Their memory shall live on this way

There’s too much water all around, Monkeys eating fruit they’ve found. I love to live where green is seen, And love the beauty of the scene.

Fruits grow high above the roots, Monkeys swing in lively loops. How beautiful is this world so wide, I love adventure, with nature as my guide.

Joy, VII C In the Realm of the Imagination Imagination, a wondrous key Unlocks the doors of possibility A world of dreams, a world of might Where creativity takes flight

Rudransh Tyagi, VII A A Fisherman’s Day Waking up at the crack of dawn, Just to stare at the crystal water. I have nothing except for my brawn. My work is the only thoughts I foster.

With imagination, we can touch the sky And dance among the stars, with a twinkle in the eye We can create worlds and characters too And bring our deepest thoughts, and desires anew

Upon the river, the boat is afloat. The river wears the sky as a coat. The fishes fill the basket, As if it is their casket.

In the realm of imagination, we roam Free to create, to make our own home Where the ordinary, becomes extraordinary And the impossible becomes merely a memory

As the day closes in, I earn enough bread. I must do this work as the family head. The moon appears in the night sky. I finally rest, underneath the starry sky.

So, let’s cherish our imagination, and never let it fade For it’s the source of our creativity and the spark that’s made To dream, to create, and to bring to life The endless possibilities, that imagination provides in strife.

Isha Sharma, X B Vedika K, VII A 113 From Y2K to AI: 25 Years of Technological Transformation

The world of technology is ever evolving. Just when we think we’ve grasped it all, a new wave of innovation reminds us how much more there is to learn.

at the forefront of this evolution is artificial intelligence— no longer just a futuristic concept, but a real force driving business, science, education, entertainment, and more.

AI tools can now write content, diagnose diseases, power self-driving cars, and even mimic human creativity. We live in an era where machines can understand language, make decisions, and generate ideas—a reality that once belonged only in science fiction.

Back in the year 2000, the world stood on the edge of a digital disaster known as Y2K. Many computer systems at the time used only two digits to represent the year for example 98 for 1998. This seemingly harmless shortcut posed a serious threat. As the date changed to “00,” these systems might interpret it as 1900 instead of 2000, potentially causing widespread malfunctions in almost every sector.

And yet, despite all this progress, one truth remains: the journey of technology is far from over.

It was a time of global anxiety. Headlines warned of planes being grounded, financial markets crashing, and critical infrastructure failing. But what followed was a powerful demonstration of collective problem-solving. But thanks to a massive, coordinated global effort involving code rewrites disaster was largely averted. The transition into the new millennium occurred with barely a glitch. Y2K which, once was feared as the end of the digital age, instead became a turning point that ushered in a new era of technological confidence.

The question now is: Where will technology take us in the next 25 years? Will AI become our most trusted collaborator—or our greatest challenge? Will we live in a world dominated by autonomous systems, where human effort is replaced by intelligent machines?

It truly feels as though we are entering a science fiction era—one where AI might not just support the world, but shape it. The choices we make today, in how we build, regulate, and interact with these technologies, will define the kind of future we inherit.

Now, 25 years later, the digital world has transformed beyond anything most could have imagined in 2000. The internet has become the backbone of modern life. Mobile computing has untethered us from desks and wires, putting the world in our pockets. Cloud technologies have reshaped how we store, access, and process information, enabling global collaboration and real-time innovation. And

As we look ahead, one thing is certain: just like in the days of Y2K, our ability to adapt, collaborate, and think critically will determine whether technology becomes a force for progress or a source of disruption.

The future is unwritten—but it is undoubtedly digital.

Ms. Mridula Gandhi, TGT Computer Science The Flight of Fantasy Sparkle and Vibe : The world is pretty, But kinda plain to me. My mind’s got a filter, Sparkling for all to see. My daydreams are slaying, A vibe so on point. A whole aesthetic mood, No room to disappoint. In my head,colors flash, And glitter starts to gleam. It’s not just a fancy, It’s a whole vivid scene. Gursifat Kaur Bedi, VI C

The Flight of Fantasy

Once upon a time in the middle of the night, I was sleeping on my bed, then I heard a bang! I thought it’s just a storm, and again I heard someone bang!

Kuromi’s world was amazing with everyone, rainbow tattoos on their hands, rainbow streams,rivers, oceans and the list goes on…

So I thought to go upstairs and check on my terrace, and guess what? I found my favourite character (KUROMI) swinging, she was so cute. When I went closer she looked like a little baby. I couldn’t control myself so I asked her can I pick you up? She smiled at me and wanted me to pick her up.

After exploring Kuromi’s world, I asked Kuromi to come with me in my world. This world is too colourful for me so come on what are you waiting for ?? she said, "Ok! When we arrived she got very excited and shouted, "where is your house!" I said, "Shh! we have arrived." Then she said, "Where are your mum and dad?" I said, "It's midnight and they are sleeping."

I quickly held her in my arms, I loved her so much and then she spoke for the first time, she said, "Hi! Ruhaani", then I asked how do you know my name. She said, "How would I not know your name!"

The Flight of Fantasy With wings of thought, I start to fly, Beyond the clouds, across the sky. A castle of stars, a rainbow bright, Opens its doors in the moonlit night. I ride a dragon, I sail the seas, I talk to flowers, I climb tall trees. A carpet of magic takes me away, To lands of wonder where fairies play. Though my feet stay on the ground, My dreams and hopes know no bound. In flights of fantasy, wide and free, I find the best of worlds in me. Hardik Kapoor, VI -E

I made dinner for Kuromi but there was a twist, in her magic watch She was getting a call from her mom, then she said, "Ruhaani I'm sorry, I have to go but there is a gift for you."

"You always watch youtube videos of mine." I was sad as she had to go back but happy too, she gifted me a magic ball, which can make your wishes come true. She left and said goodbye Ruhaani. If you miss me just rub the ball I will come to see you!

Ruhaani, "You are my favourite human, you talk about me with your friends all the time." After our chit chat Kuromi took me to her world. Then I saw her friends Cinamaroll, mellody and pom pom.

दि�नां�क 29.11.2025 को पार्थथ इंटरनेशनल स्कूल, गुरुग्राम में “21वीं सदी में कक्षा-कक्ष, वि९ द्यार्थी और हिंॳंदी-शि�क्षणण की चुनौतिफ़याँऻ वि९षय पर एक संक्षि�प्त कार्ययशाला आयोजि�त की गई। इस कार्ययशाला का संचालन हिंॳंदी-शि�क्षणण के प्रसि�द्ध शि�क्षाशास्त्री और हिंॳंदी-अध्यापन वि९शेषज्ञ डॉ. प्रदीप कुमार जैन जी द्वारा कि�या गया।

अंग्रेज़ी के ब डॉ. जैन ने अपने संबोधन में बताया कि� आधुनि�क समय में कक्षा- कक्ष तकनीक आधारि�त और अधिॡक सहभागि�तापूर्णण हो गए हैं। आज के वि९द्यार्थी तेज, जि�ज्ञासु और बहुमुखी हैं। वे दृश्य-श्रव्य माध्यमों के माध्यम से जल्दी सीखते हैं। आज के वि९द्यार्थी डि�जि�टल माध्यमों से सीखने में अधिॡक रुचि� रखते हैं, इसलि�ए शि�क्षकों का नवीन तरीकों को अपनाना आवश्यक है। उन्होंने यह भी कहा कि�

गि�ल्लू की कहानी - मेरी जुबानी छोटी-सी जान, बड़ी कहानी, ममता में छि�पी एक नि�शानी। गि�ल्लू ने सि�खाया, प्रेम है दवा, जो भरे हर दि�ल की हर ख़ता। एक दि�न की बात है। महादेवी वर्माড় जी अपने कमरे में बैठकर कुछ लि�ख रही थीं। अचानक उन्होंने खि�ड़की के पास एक हल्की-सी आवा

पक्ष (K): महँगाई को केवल बोझ कहना अनुचि�त है, क्योंकि� यह कि�सी भी प्रगति�शील अर्थथव्यवस्था की स्वाभावि९क पहचान होती है।

वि९पक्ष (R): परंतु मैं इसके वि९पक्ष की ओर से कहना चाहूँगी कि� जहाँऻ रसोई का बजट हर हफ्ते बि�गड़ जाए और आम इंसान हर ची

'परीक्षा' हर वि९द्यार्थी के जीवन का महत्वपूर्णण हि�स्सा होती है। परंतु आज के समय में परीक्षा का नाम सुनते ही डर और घबराहट महसूस होती है। प्रधान मंत्री श्री नरेंद्र मोदी जी ने ‘परीक्षा पे चर्चा�’ कार्ययक्रम की शुरुआत की। यह कार्ययक्रम हम वि९द्यार्थि�ियों को तनाव से मुक्त होने की सीख देता है।

परीक्षा पे चर्चा� से हमें यह सीख मि�लती है कि� परीक्षा एक बोझ नहीं होती, बल्कि৹� अपने ज्ञान और मेहनत को परखने का अवसर मानना चाहि�ए। इस कार्ययक्रम से यह भी समझ में आता है कि� समय का प्रबंधन कि�तना महत्वपूर्णण है। कहते हैं - समय एव करोतिॠ बलाबलम।

परीक्षा पे चर्चा� हमें यह भी सि�खाती है कि� स्वस्थ मन और शरीर सफलता का ही गुणण है। नींद, सही खान-पान और शरीर की सही देखभाल ज़रूरी है। माता-पि�ता का सहयोग भी वि९द्यार्थि�ियों के आत्मवि९श्वास को और अधि�क मज़बूत करता है।

परीक्षा पे चर्चा�, जीवन जीने की कला सि�खाने वाला कार्ययक्रम है। इससे यह सीख मि�लती है कि� आत्मवि९श्वास और मेहनत से प्रयास करने पर सफलता प्राप्त होती है।

परीक्षा पे चर्चा� हमें यह भी सि�खाती है कि� हर वि९द्यार्थी, की प्रति�भा अलग होती है। सभी बच्चे एक जैसे नहीं होते हैं और न ही सभी की रूचि�याँऻ

(वि९श्व के प्रति�ष्ठि�त, परि�मार्जि�ित, अद्भुत, सारगर्भि�ित वैज्ञानि�क और ऐति�हासि�क संस्कृत व्याकरणण के प्रणेता आचार्यय पाणि�नि�)

छात्रकालः मनुष्यजीवनस्य सुवर्णणमयः कालः । अस्माकं पुरातनग्रन्थेषु अस्य ईदृशं महत्वं यत् अनेन मनुष्यस्य विଆतीयं जन्म मन्यते, स च विଆजः उच्चयते। वस्तुतः छात्रजीवनं मनुष्यस्य विଆतीयं जन्म एव वि९द्यते । यदा मनुष्यः जायते, तदा सः पशुतुल्यः एव भवति�, केवलं खादि�तुं�, पातुं� स्वपि�तुं� च जानाति� । परन्तु छात्रजीवने एव सः ज्ञानं लभते, परेषां� दुःखम् अवबोधः, धर्ममस्य तत्वं ज्ञातुं�, परमशक्ति�वि९षये अनुभवि९तुं� महापुरुषाणां� वि९चारान् पठिग़तं, सम्यग् आचरि�तुं� च अवसरं लभते । प्राचीनकाले छात्रजीवनं ब्रह्मचर्ययम् उच्चयते स्म। ब्रह्मचारी तपोमयं जीवनं कठोर व्रतं च आचार्यय सरलभावेन केवलं ज्ञानोपार्जने संलग्नो अभवत् । अनेन तपसा ज्ञानेन च भावि९जीवने सः कष्टानि� सोढुं� समर्थों अभवत्। ज्ञानस्य, वि९द्यायाःऽ तपसः, दानादि�धर्ममस्य च वि९शि�ष्टं महत्वमस्ति�ि मनुष्यजीवने, अन्यथा मनुष्यः पशुतुल्यो भवति�। उक्तं हि�-

इन्द्रश्चन्द्रः काशकृश्त्नाऽऽपि�शली शाकटायनः। पाणि�न्यमरजैनेन्द्राः�ः जयन्त्यष्टादि�शाब्दि৶िकाःि ।। (कवि�कल्पद्रुम)

“ माहेश्वराणि� सूत्राणि� “ (महर्षि�ि पाणि�नि� के चतुर्दश सूत्र जि�न्हें माहेश्वर सूत्र कहा जाता है) ये सूत्र ही संस्कृत व्याकरणण और भाषा वि९ज्ञान के आधार हैं: (अइउण्, ऋलृक्, एओङ्, ऐऔच्, हयवरट्, लण्, ञमङणनम्, झभञ् घदधष्, जबगडदश्, खफछठयचटतव्, कपय्, शषषसर्, हल् )

महर्षि�ि पाणि�नि� के जीवन वृत्तत्त के वि९षषय में नि�श्चिଏत रूप से कुछ भी कहना कठिग़न है, पतंजलि� के महाभाष्य (1.1.20) से पता चलता है कि� उनकी माता का नाम दाक्षी था। श्री युधि�ष्ठि�र मीमां�सक ने उनका काल लगभग 2800 वि९क्रम पूर्वव माना है किं�ंतु डॉ. वासुदेव शरणण अग्रवाल ने उनका समय 500 ई. पूर्वव के मध्य नि�श्चिଏत कि�या है और उन्हें नंद राजा महानंद का समकालीन बताया है। गणतंत्र महोदधि� के आधार पर उनका जन्म स्थान शालातुर नामक ग्राम बताया जाता है किं�ंतु श्री युधि�ष्ठि�र मीमां�सक का कथन है कि� शालातुर पाणि�नि� के पूर्ववजों का वास स्थान था। पाणि�नि� स्वयं कहीं अन्यत्र रहते थे। उन्होंने पाणि�नि� को वाहीक देश या उसके अति� समीप का नि�वासी माना है। कथा सरि�त्सागर के अनुसार उनके गुरु का नाम वर्षष था और वे प

येषां� न वि�द्या न तपो न दानं, ज्ञानं न शीलं न गुणो न धर्मःि। ते मृत्युलोके भुवि� भारभूता, मनुष्यरूपेण मृगाश्चरन्ति৳ि ।।

अर्था�त् जि�न लोगों के पास न तो वि९द्या है, न तप, न दान, न ज्ञान, न शील, न गुणण और न धर्मम। वे लोग इस पृथ्वी पर भार हैं और मनुष्य के रूप में मृग/जानवर की तरह घूमते रहते हैं।

अतएव छात्रस्य सुवर्णा�वसरस्य सदुपयोगः कर्ततव्यो न च नाशयि�तव्यः । यद्यस्मि�िन् काले छात्राःऽ संयमेन, तपसा, परि�श्रमेणण वि९ना वि९द्या न लभ्यते सर्ववि९धो वि९कासश्च न भवति�। अत एवोच्यते-

सुखार्थी चेत् त्यजेत् वि�द्यां� वि�द्यार्थी चेत् त्यजेत् सुखम् । सुखार्थि�िनः कुतो वि�द्या कुतो वि�द्यार्थि�िनः सुखम् ॥

अर्था�त् सुख चाहने वाले को वि९द्या और वि९द्या चाहने वाले को सुख त्याग देना चाहि�ए। सुख चाहने वाले के लि�ए वि९द्या कहाँऻ और वि९द्यार्थी के लि�ए सुख कहाँऻ॥

भावि९जीवने सुखार्थथमेव छात्रजीवने परि�श्रमः क्रि�यते। छात्रे नि�यमि�तं भोजनं भक्षणीयम्, नि�यतं च व्यायामेन शरीर पोषणीयम्, आलस्यं त्यक्त्वा अध्ययनं कर्ततव्यम्। छात्रजीवनं पूर्णणतः अनुशासनबद्धं भवति�। वि९द्यार्थि�िजीवने एक समस्तानां� मानवोचि�तगुणानां� वि९कास भवति�। छात्र एव राष्ट्रस्ययानुपमा नि�धि�रस्ति�ि । अतः छात्राणां� शारीरि�क चारि�त्रि�कंच वि९कासे अत्यन्तानि�वार्ययम् वि९द्यार्थि�िजीवनमेव सम्पूर्णण जीवनस्य आधारशि�ला। अतः तेषां� सम्यक् रक्षणं, पोषणम् च कर्त्ततव्यम्। संस्कृते उक्त-

काकचेष्टा बकोध्यानं श्वाननि�द्रा तथैव च। अल्पाहारी गृहत्यागी वि�द्यार्थी पंचलक्षणम् ॥

अर्था�त् (वि९द्यार्थी के पाँऻच लक्षणण हैं- कौए की तरह चेष्टा (सब ओर दृष्टिକ, त्वरि�त नि�रीक्षणण क्षमता), बगुले की तरह ध्यान, कुत्ते की तरह नींद (अल्प व्यवधान पर नींद छोड़कर उठ जाय), अल्पाहारी (कम भोजन करने वाला), गृहत्यागी (अपने घर और माता-पि�ता का अधि�क मोह न रखने वाला)। पदैव ते शरीरसुखं परि�त्यज्य वि९द्याध्ययनं च करि�ष्यन्ति�� तदैव वि९द्वां�सः भवि९ष्यन्ति�� ।

तवि९षा यादव, नवमी 'बी ' ।। अनुशासनस्य महत्वम् ।। जीवने अनुशासनस्य अतीव महत्वम् अस्ति�ि। दैनि�क व्यवहारे नि�श्चिଏत नि�यमानां� पालनं एव अनुशासनम् अस्ति�ि । अनुशासनयुक्तः नरः सदैव प्रगति�पन्थानम् आरोहति�, तस्य यशः बलं च वर्धते। अनुशासनहीनः जनः जीवने असफलतां� हानिं�ं अपमानम् च सहते। प्रकृतिः�ः अपि� अनुशासनस्य प्रेरणां� ददाति�। सूर्यःऽ प्रति�दि�नं प्रातः यथासमयः पूर्ववस्यां� दि�शि� उदेति� न तु पश्चिଏमायाम् । पृथ्वी स्व अक्षे नि�रन्तरं भ्रमति�। ऋतवः यथा समयं आगच्छन्ति��। अतः जीवने उन्नतिं�ं प्राप्तुं� अनुशासनस्य पालनम् कर्त्ततव्यम्। जीवने अनुशासनस्य वि९शेषष महत्त्वं भवति� । प्रत्येक पदे अनुशासनम् आवश्यकं भवति�। अनुशासनं वि९ना कि�मपि� कार्यय सफलं न भवति�। छात्रेभ्यः अनुशासनं परमावश्यकम् अस्ति�ि। अनुशासि�तः सर्वेभ्यः प्रि�यः भवति� । सामाजि�कव्यवस्थाहेतु अनुशासनं अत्यन्तावश्यकम् अस्ति�ि । यस्मि�िन् समाजे अनुशासनं न भवति� तत्र सदैव कलहः भवति�। शि�क्षकस्य अनुशासने छात्राःऽ नि�रन्तरं उन्नति�पथे गच्छन्ति�� । प्रकृतिः�ः अपि� ईश्वरस्य अनुशासने ति�ष्ठति� । यः नरः पूर्णणतया अनुशासन पालयति� सः स्वजीवने सदा सफलः भवति� । अतः अनुशासनस्य पालनं जीवने बहु आवश्यकं भवति� ।

सानवी, अष्टमी ’ई’ स्पंदन संस्कृतं मम परि�चयः (संस्कृत मेरी पहचान) संस्कृतं भारतस्य प्राचीनतमा भाषा अस्ति�ि। सा देवभाषा इति� प्रसि�द्धा। संस्कृतं केवलं भाषा न, अपि� तु भारतीय-संस्कृतेःऽ आत्मा अस्ति�ि। मम जीवनस्य, मम संस्कृतेःऽ च परि�चयः संस्कृतमेव अस्ति�ि। संस्कृतभाषायां� वेदाः�ः, उपनि�षदः, रामायणं, महाभारतं, पुराणानि� च रचि�तानि� सन्ति��। एते ग्रन्थाःऽ मानवजीवनस्य आदर्शा�न्, धर्मं, सत्यं, करुणां� च शि�क्षयन्ति��। संस्कृतं ज्ञानस्य महासागरः अस्ति�ि।

अहं गर्वेणण वदामि� यत् संस्कृतं मम परि�चयः अस्ति�ि। अस्याःऽ भाषायाःऽ अध्ययनं मम वि९चारान् शुद्धान् करोति� तथा च जीवनं अनुशासि�तं करोति�। संस्कृतभाषा सरलव्याकरणयुक्ता, मधुरा तथा वैज्ञानि�कदृष्ट्या अपि� महत्त्वपूर्णा� अस्ति�ि।

आधुनि�ककालेऽपि� संस्कृतस्य महत्त्वं वर्धते। कम्प्यूटर-वि९ज्ञानम्, योगः, आयुर्वेदः इत्यादि�षु क्षेत्रेषु संस्कृतभाषाया उपयोगः दृश्यते। अतः संस्कृतं न केवलं भूतकाले, अपि� तु वर्तमान-भवि९ष्ययोःऽ अपि� उपयोगी अस्ति�ि।

अतः वयं सर्वे संस्कृतभाषां� पठेम, प्रचारं च कुर्मःऽ। संस्कृतस्य संरक्षणेन एव भारतीयसंस्कृतेःऽ संरक्षणं सम्भवति�। निः�ःसन्देहं संस्कृतं मम परि�चयः, मम गौरवः, मम अस्मि�िता च अस्ति�ि।
