Literary Week Literature is a source of knowledge, entertainment and above all moral lessons that stimulate healthy growth. The theme for 2023-24 was ‘The Power of Literature.’ The event took place from 18th to 20th May. The English Department conducted a series of activities including special assembly where the students of class VIII presented the early works, contribution as well as advancements brought about by some of the most prolific literary icons in history. The characters portrayed were- William Shakespeare, Jane Austin, Sarojini Naidu and Rabindranath Tagore. Poetry recitation was held for students of class VI to VIII. All contestants recited their self-composed poems. To conclude the week, an Inter House Debate Competition was conducted for students of class IX to XII. It was a highly anticipated event. The topic of the debate competition was ‘Happiness is more important than Success.’ All participants were well prepared and presented their arguments with conviction and clarity. The judges were impressed with the performances and had a tough time selecting the winners. After much deliberation Nile House was announced as the winner of the competition followed by Euphrates, Tigris and Jordan House. To inculcate the habit of reading, the department also organized a book fair. It was a week of flurry and excitement, with the children being fruitfully engaged and getting exposure to literature in different ways. In an age when people are replacing the book with television, computer and smart phones, it was a delightful sight to witness students enthusiastically contributing to the literary week.

Life Is a Tall Tender Tree A New World Life is a tall tender tree, There lies a place not many might know, You have to struggle even if it’s free. A place many long to go. Even though you want a key, A new world not everyone seems to care, You cannot flee. But a place that all of us can share But I guarantee you will see, Though it’s right in front of us, The reward for thee We can’t go with a train or bus. For life is like a puzzle you have to, One becomes citizen with a golden heart, Find the pieces in order to find your None can make them depart. answer It requires only but a strand of trust, Be careful with your tree for its But not for those whose minds are of lust. precious, We might have seen in a dream or two, Even if it’s free. But believe me when I say, It will come to each one of us. - Bijano Lotha Class: VI-A - Akangjungshi Jamir Class: VIII-A The Butterfly Evonbeni Ngullie Class: VII-A The white butterfly lays all her eggs, One of them pops a larva, crawling on its legs. The caterpillar at first is sticky and thin, But it eats the leaves until it comes out from the skin. After growing bigger and big, The caterpillar sticks to a twig. It makes a pupa where it is warm inside, Then the pupa cracks, and the parts divide. Inside the pupa, something was going on, The caterpillar of that shape was gone. When the pupa cracked, something came out, A black butterfly was fluttering about.
