NEWSLETTER JULY - SEPTEMBER

Principal’s Message Last academic year has been an extraordinary challenge on account of COVID-19. However, the pandemic gave an opportunity world-wide to rethink and reassess the strategies for higher education. Times of crisis ought to inspire creativity, critical reflection, transformation, and renewal. In the neo-normal, the challenge is to adapt, regenerate, and position the college for a strong and sustainable future. Striving for a vibrant and dynamic academic atmosphere is a wholesome and holistic exercise. This calls for the integration of students in the qualitative processes of the school. It necessitates an innovation ecosystem to hone the skills of students in diverse programs to mould them to become notable change-makers of the society. The aim is to make learning an enriching, fulfilling, and enjoyable experience through a multidisciplinary approach, combining theory and practice in pedagogy. Hence, our persistent efforts must be to leverage the intellectual and emotional capabilities of students, encourage the free and spirited exchange of ideas to celebrate diversity, while ensuring inclusivity. It should be our collective endeavour to promote an inspirational, motivational, value- abased academic, and administrative environment.. Our earnest attempt should be towards upholding academic integrity, accountability, sustaining open and transparent systems, and being sensitive to social responsibilities. This could be possible only through a collaborative, shared, and consultative work culture. “We want that education by which character is formed, strength of mind is increased, the intellect is expanded, and by which one can stand on one’s own feet” – Swami Vivekananda 2

The Town Of Ridgewood The town of Ridgewood But whHeandc. hnaeovesrksneoecnkethdeown itthcehi,r doors They claimed to have seen her cross the bridge. Hell engulfed every inch of her being, Her eyes nobody had ever seen; Darker were they than a night of new moon Quieter than impending doom. The devil was scared of his creation For she was dead inside, But once the moon glow caressed her skin Her shadows would no longer hide. Alone she danced along with fate, Foul men with greed—her only bait; Armed with her potions and spells At night, night the fire, the town yells. The town of Ridgewood lies They always see the witch, When avarice knocks on their doors They see her incant whilst she crosses the bridge —A Poem By Aanchal Singh (X A)

To Sit By The Lake ’ I have ever done. T O sit by the lake Near the forest so dism. al, To sit with the mist O ficklest mind of mine Near the yearning of warmth, Clouded with thoughts All that breaks unkind, Is mistaken for a heart I wonder where my heart ‘Oh, but she hath none. resides. To sit beside the birch To sit with the mist Near the darkened bark, Near the ghosts of admission, O brutally mistaken advances I wonder if you’d like to know Must I ask why I had no ‘No, I shan’t.’ chances?— So I stay and watch fragile The dusk won’t shift for dawn’s irises grow. many stances. To sit beside the birch Near the raven misjudged, To sit by the lake O first glory of the sun With my silent screams, Must you belittle the stone in I ponder—oh, I do. my chest unturned?— Whilst my mind remains clouded Nothing wrong--- I know my heart resides with you. —A Poem By Aanchal Singh (X A)

It's been a year of tragedy Granted All the days have been same We know it's never From Monday to Sunday simple, never easy When all the trouble came And it's a fight worth having a million No one has left the house soldiers in a field People choose to stay inside Everyone wished it to be reset From west, east, north and south Wished for a slight break People died. No one can save no one Everyone's mind is muzzled It depends on people’s fate It is an unsolved puzzle. And once people got through one year Take a moment to pray for those who Everyone thought the end of this was lost their life near It's like a never ending trail Cause no one had suffered from this Of trains coming on the tracks much pain And it's like the ups and downs in No one knows the price of losing people’s lives someone’s life And all of it seems to be stuck Today’s the day we should not take for It has changed everyone’s life granted From young to old . And enjoy every little moment. By- VAIBHAVI KUMAR 9TH A 4
