WHAT’S INSIDE

FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK

“New I am but new I shall not be I will do my best to be a part of thee…”

All of us have been newcomers somewhere…sometime, whether in a new school, a new college, a new apartment society or a new job. We know and understand the travails that a newcomer faces. And yes, being new in a set up that’s not new, is not easy. One has to begin afresh. While the upside is that you have a new blank page to write on and past mistakes can be erased to

begin anew, the flipside is you have to begin again from scratch.

Many students join Udgam every year and settle down so amazingly well that after a few weeks it is difficult to tell them apart from the existing students. While the students have to be praised for good adjustment skills, due credit goes to the school too. Being a parent and student friendly school, Udgam takes every newcomer into her fold. Our teachers take extra care to see that the students are comfortable and students are assigned to help the newcomers settle down.

We asked some newcomers who joined this year for their views and issues they faced in this school and we have shared their responses with you (page 10,11).

Since this is the month of ‘Freedom’, we have covered a very special person in Life Story (page 17) whose story you will enjoy reading. Also we thought it apt to cover a few facts less known about our own country in page 16. Read and enjoy each and every page of our school magazine and do drop in a line to [email protected].

THE DUAL ROLE OF PARENTS:PROVIDING NURTURE AND STRUCTURE

“Am I being loving and attentive enough?” “ Am I being too giving”?

“Are my children becoming spoiled?” “ Am I too strict?” “Am I too lenient?” “ What is a good balance”?

These questions point to the two broad categories into which the role of parents

can be divided: the “nurture” role and the “structure” role. All the responsibilities of parenting fall under one of these two headings.

The Nurture RoleIn the nurture role, parent’s take care of children’s basic needs, such as food, medical care, shelter, clothing, etc., as well as give love, attention, understanding, acceptance, time, and support. They listen to their children, are patient, and have fun with them. They make time for their kids, show an interest in them and their activities, and encourage them to pursue their passions. Through the parent’s words and actions, the children know that they are loved and accepted. Typically, when the parent is in the nurturing role, they enjoy and accept children as they are and do not expect any change in behaviour.

When the parent is nurturing the children, the children-

• feel good about themselves.• feel lovable and worthy of

being cared for.• feel listened to – learn their

ideas, feelings, and needs are important – and feel that they are understood.

• become trusting because they know that their needs will be met.

• learn that they can tackle diffi cult situations and face challenges because they do not have to face them alone When parents give too much nurture, they may be overly protective, too responsive to the children’s needs, and too involved in their lives. Under these conditions, children don’t learn skills to care for themselves and they don’t learn to consider other people’s needs. Conversely, when there isn’t enough nurturing , parents are too emotionally distant and not adequately involved in the children’s lives. As a result, children don’t feel loved or supported.

The Structure Role

The other part of a parent’s job is to provide “structure” for the children. In this role, parents give direction, impose rules, use discipline, set limits, establish and follow through with consequences, hold the children accountable for their behaviour, and teach values. They provide the guidance that helps the children to change, grow, and mature. Responsible behaviour, in line with the children’s maturity levels, is taught and expected. It is in the structure

role that the parents expect change in behaviour and increased growth, maturity, and ability.

When parents provide this kind of structure, children:

• feel a sense of safety that rules will be in place when they can’t control their own impulses.

• learn to tolerate a reasonable amount of frustration and disappointment when they don’t always get their own way.

• discover that the world does not revolve totally around them.

• learn responsible behaviour and that they are capable of doing things.

• learn from their mistakes, gain experience making decisions.

• become more self-suffi cient and capable as they learn the skills to become independent.

It is vitally important to the children’s development that parents discipline them, teach them, guide them, provide rules and follow through on the rules, and set reasonable expectations for their behaviour.When parents provide too much structure, they may be rigid and use harsh discipline; children don’t learn to think for themselves, and they may either become passive or they might rebel. When parents give too

little structure, the expectations and rules may be unclear and inconsistent. Children may feel confused; they don’t feel that they will be protected; and they don’t learn to be responsible because they are not held accountable for their behaviours. In order for children to thrive and develop in a healthy way, parents need to carry out both of these roles.

• If parents only provide the nurture piece without any structure or limits or without holding children accountable, the children can become spoiled, unappreciative, self-centered, and not learn how to do things for themselves.

• If parents only provide the structure piece without building a strong relationship of trust, the children may feel resentful, unloved, abandoned, and may be less likely to cooperate willingly with the rules. Fearing punishment, children may try to hide their vulnerabilities.

There are not any hard and fast rules about when parents should be nurturing or when they should use structure. It is the overall balance that is important and that impacts the children’s development.

ART OF COMMUNICATIONMrs. Shivani Sheth, Primary Section

WHAT IS COMMUNICATION?

Communication can be expressed as way of interacting with others. The way we interact with others gives an impact on every sort of people in the society.Today communication is a key in all the professions to fulfil goals and lead to success. It is indispensable to maintain good rapport with people from laymen to top superiors. Good communication skills help to give essential information authentically. We can influence the attitudes and behaviours of others. It facilitates in resolving problems and taking correct decisions. Communication skills should always follow KISS (keep it short and simple). It helps to convey our message easily and fosters in

building healthy relationship, trust, love and respect.

If you lack communication skills it can be disastrous in your personal as well as professional life. You come across someone who has a habit of speaking loudly on the phone which disturbs you and despite your umpteen efforts the habit gets worse. In this case, the best option is to have an open discussion with him/her and resolve it amicably. Good communication skills helps in stress and conflict management too. As someone has rightly said “Art of communication is crucial to leader’s success. He can accomplish nothing unless he can communicate effectively”.

LOve BeYONd OUR IMAGINATION

-Ms. daisy John Canara, Teacher – Secondary School

When in today’s world I read and come across cases where people backbite every single moment, families separating, and youngsters are not able to cope with their day to day pressures and prefer to quit life or engage in addiction instead, trying to get happiness that is short lived, all I can sense is that they all have failed to find themselves loved at some or the other point in life.

We all at some or the other point in life go through a phase where we feel rejected, unloved and unwanted. Life seems meaningless and we start living with a question within us as to, are we truly loved and desired by someone? The whole and sole reason behind this quest is that we all are made of love and all we need to survive is love. It is said that man is made of jealousy and greed. But this wasn’t the case when God made the first man, Adam. After creating the earth and everything in it

He decided to make His best creation, man. When He molded the wet mud and formed what we can now see in plenty around us was just filled with Lord’s breath and love. There is by no means a chance for us to live without love as there was by no means a chance for Lord to create man without love since He himself is love. When we face a refutation and feel despicable, trust the word of the Lord which say- “As for you, even the hair of your head have all been counted.” Isn’t this insightful? There is someone who loves you so deeply that He knows everything about you. Amazing Isn’t it? even we don’t know about ourselves so eminently. What Lord wants to convey here is that He is so much in love with us that He doesn’t let our single thought, our single emotion or our single tear go unnoticed. His complete attention is on us, quite aware of what is killing us from within. Though He himself faces rejection from us; He wants, through this verse make us sentient that it doesn’t matter to Him where we come from, what our past was, no matter what wrong we have done till now or whether we love Him or not. All He wants to say is He loves us enough to take the deepest care. He wants us to trust on the very truth that He made us all out of His love and He will never let our lives be without love. He’ll make sure we have the right blessing at the right time in our lives. Love Him and you will see love will blossom within and around us. God bless you.

RADIANT REFLECTIONS

WHY HUMANITIeS?Mrs. G vijayalakshmi,

Teacher – Sr. Secondary

This question pops in the minds of many a student passing out from 10th and on the brink of choosing career options. And both the students and the parents have the right to get an answer…It is of course the bare truth that the world always requires good engineers and the Medical professionals. Our dependence on technology grows by leaps and bounds. Increasing populations throw greater challenges in terms of health care, so doctors are a weighty need.

SO WHY HUMANITIeS INdeed?

The Humanities centre of the Stanford University offers an explanation when it says that it is through exploration of the humanities that we learn how to think creatively and critically,

to reason, and to ask questions, to make sense of the vastness of human experience. Since these skills allow us to gain new insights into everything from cultures, languages, poetry and paintings to business models, world economies and politics to the human psyche, humanistic subjects have been at the heart of a liberal arts education since the ancient Greeks first used them to educate their citizens.In an article written a couple of years ago by Scott Samuelson of the Wall Street Journal, he cites a study that was released by the Association of American Colleges and Universities. The association had analyzed Census Bureau data on the education and occupations of almost 3,000,000 American residents. The study found that in the peak earning years, men and women who majored in the humanities or Social Sciences earned on average at least $2,000 more than those who majored in professional or pre-professional fields. It is an irrefutable fact that business houses and employers constantly seek to employ people who possess a proven ability to contemplate critically, communicate clearly and unravel complex problems. It goes without saying these are the sorts of skills that anyone who pursues an education in the humanities often will receive. So what about India? It is a collective myth, thriving among the Indian psyche, that the Arts/Humanities stream is

meant for students who are “not smart enough” for studying either Science or Commerce. This myth has to be busted as Humanities students do very well in the fields of Economics, International relations, Law, Journalism and Mass media communications, Psychology, Fine Arts and design, Language studies, Interpretation studies, education Archaeology, etc,. Focused students with a strong background in History and Political Science are well groomed to take up Bureaucratic careers through the UPSC exams and enter the IAS cadres. Many Universities both in India and abroad offer lucrative professional UG and PG courses related to the Humanities stream. Nothing is simple or easy to obtain in life. Efforts are required to shine in every field. It is therefore the wise parent who understands the innate potential of the child and steers him/her accordingly. Let us not punish and force the young mind who has a penchant for Humanities to take up subjects that do not interest him at all.As seen, there are a plethora of career options open for a student who has chosen the Humanities stream. Far from being the last resort when no other stream can be chosen, the Humanities encompass a wide field of study, with extremely interesting and mind-stimulating career options galore.So now the question is- Why not Humanities?

Life has taught me many important things such as strength,courage,friendships etc.Life has on many occasions has taken many things from me such as friends, hope etc. But in return it has taught me how to remain strong and have courage during those hardships. Like once, during my dance performance, I made a mistake, but then I realised that making mistakes is okay. We make mistakes but we have to

correct them the next time.Life has also taught me that when I’m angry or sad, I should just forget all that anger and sadness and just think positively.It has also taught to be grateful for whatever I have because not many people have the

same opportunities I or we all have.It has taught me to be kind and caring to those have been kind and caring to me, because then and only then will our objective, which life has given us, to live life to its

fullest will be complete.These are the main reasons why life is one of my most important teachers.

UDGAM MATTERS

INdIA OF MY dReAMS India of my dreams is not a utopia… It may not be the most virtuous

place in the world nor the replica of heaven, but India of my dreams would definitely be the land of peace, prosperity and opportunity for every Indian citizen. I dream of an India where everyone will have all the basic necessities like proper food, clothes and houses. everyone will have adequate education, jobs and a peaceful happy life. everyone will be safe and secure, and women will be treated with utmost dignity and respect. India where exploitation of women and children would not only be a criminal offence but also a social taboo.

Poverty, diseases, ignorance, bribery, corruption, indiscipline, divisions and disunity - India of my dreams will be free from all these evils India of my dreams will be a place where there is an IIT for every Harvard, a Narayan Murthy for every Bill Gates, a Sachin Tendulkar for every Brain Lara, and a vishwanathan Anand for every Gary Casparove of the world. India where youngsters would not hop aboard a plane to US for either study or their dream job but

rather would stay back and work towards the welfare and progress of their homeland - there will even be ‘reverse brain-drain’. India would be a country with the highest economic drive, GdP and highest human development index. There would be rapid developments in science and technology as well as medical research. Roads and Infrastructural development would keep pace with the overall economic growth. India will be a military superpower along with spiritual superpower.

India, where roads, streets and public places would be neat and clean. Hygiene of the highest standards would be maintained. There would be no littering, no garbage spills on roads and no wandering cows, buffaloes, dogs and even beggars on roads. development of architecture, music, dance, painting, sculpture and arts would bring the rich cultural heritage back, like the good old times. India, where those not related by blood would be united by belief and love for countrymen. They would not be separated by their faith, colour, cast or creed. India, where wedding out of community would not be considered a crime involving ‘honour killings’. India, which is not divided by any religious divisions or any divisions between the rich and the poor or urban and rural. micro-finances will drive the growth of the country right from smallest villages, while rich will be empathetic to the poor.India, where politicians would be men of

honour and principles with no corruption of politics and there would be honest, responsible and efficient bureaucrats putting together transparent administration with public accountability. My dream India would be a compassionate, vibrant, prosperous, healthy, corruption free, value based, equitable, homogenous and a fairer society.

It would be based on Rabindranath Tagore in Geetanjali :

“Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high

Where knowledge is freeWhere the world has not been broken up

into fragmentsBy narrow domestic walls

Where words come out from the depth of truth

Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection

Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way

Into the dreary desert sand of dead habitWhere the mind is led forward by theeInto ever-widening thought and action

Into that heaven of freedom, my Father,let my country awake.”

With the young and dynamic brigade of citizens, I hope that my dream of a ‘numero uno superpower’named India will definitely come true in no distant future

BReXIT

The United Kingdom. The place, whose very name sounds ironic after recent e v e n t s .

For those who didn’t get the reference, yes, this article is about Brexit. I know that Brexit sounds like the name of a horrible little candy that you buy at the airport, but actually, it’s even scarier, and leaves an even worse taste in your mouth. Coming to the other party involved in Brexit, the eU, or the european Union. Since its inception, it has evolved into an economic union of 28 countries, and serves as a common platform for the member countries to trade and negotiate international agreements. Britain however, is like the person who shows up at a party,

but always stands at the door. For instance, it doesn’t even use the euro. So the question arises, why exactly does Britain want to leave the eU? Well, to be honest, NO ONe KNOWS. The justifications provided by pro-Brexit euro officials, have more loopholes than a villain in one of the dabangg movies. For example, former London mayor, Boris Johnson said, that Britain sends close to 350 million pounds a week to the eU. That’s money that they can’t control. In fact, as a heavy PR campaign, he even had that printed on a bus, and had that bus drive around the city. That, is more false, than a 100 year old woman’s plastic dentures. The truth, is that Britain sends close to 190 million pounds a week to the eU, considering the rebates received from the eU. Also, if Britain does leave the eU, it will have to spend somewhere close to the amount, just to access the common trade market. There have been exceptions though. People like president Obama and even countries like China,

India, Japan among others, are against Brexit. At this point, you must be wondering that if Brexit is so universally seen as a bad idea, who on earth is in favor of it? enter, UKIP. Also known as the UK Independence Party. A party so racist, one of its members called a Member of Parliament not British enough to be a member. What UKIP says, is that if they secede from the eU, the British can stop immigration, citing immigrants as one of the biggest problems. The funny part however, is that even if they do cut away from the eU, they WILL have to allow free mobility of labor and of citizens from one place to another, just to join the common trade market. So, to wrap up, what I would like to say, is that leaving the eU, will NOT change anything for the better. It will just plunge the world into global economic crisis, which will be unrecoverable. With that, I sign off.

AN IN’SIGHT’ INTO LIFe

Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind

can see.Beautiful words penned by Mark Twain. This summer I interned at SeNSe INTeRNATIONAL, an NGO that aims on catering to the inexpressible needs of the deaf blind children in India. SeNSe believes in empathizing and nurturing the deaf blinds to a level where they can live independent and happy lives. 20 days of volunteering, slogging and hard work, yet it turned out to be a beautiful experience. Clueless about what lay ahead, I started with the interning.From writing articles and case studies,

doing project translations and excel work to photography and teaching, I did it all. I felt as if this summer was less of procrastinating and more of productivity. Running errands, managing events, dealing with people made me feel like a grown up.The experience was significant and so were the memories. I still reminisce; it was 3rd June, a Wednesday afternoon. We were in the vocational unit, photographing the deaf blinds. felt so overwhelmed capturing those frivolous and happy faces; they talking to me, in their muffled distorted voices made me realize how granted we take life for. And that’s when I realized what Helen Keller meant to say “The best things in life cannot be seen or touched; they can only be felt by heart” I did my part for the society I owe to, when are you doing your bit?

Like most schools, every year we have newcomers joining Udgam School in various

classes. Of course in Playgroup and Kindergarten most kids are newcomers and special care is taken to acclimatize them to school. But the picture is different in the higher classes of Thaltej Campus. Here only few children join a particular class every year and hence they have to gel with entirely new set up.

Team UM asked the newcomers about their experience in Udgam and the responses have been very amazing. We are sharing some of them here. To maintain anonymity, we have not used names.

The students we spoke to were unanimous about their teachers and teaching methodology being the best part about the school right from junior to senior classes. They said that their teachers helped them to settle down and paid personal attention to them in the first few days of joining. Their teachers also

ensured that the others in the class cooperated with them and the newcomers did not

feel left out.

S t u d e n t s spoke highly about the new washrooms which actually are very state-of-art.

Boys found the waterless urinals to be

a surprise at first and the girls were thrilled with the

15-second hand drying technology.

M o s t newcomers

are using t h e s c h o o l transport and found

the new comfortable

buses to be way better than

what they had in their previous schools.

They appreciated AC buses and said they reached school fresh.

While the newcomers appreciated the school

library and its stock of

books, a few of them said that AC in the library would be very welcome.

They are quite happy with the classrooms

and the smartboards although they would like

better positioning of the fans, and if possible ACs. A few felt that the benches were quite hard and uncomfortable.

The school a u d i t o r i u m impressed the n e w c o m e r s as it is very s l e e k l y d e s i g n e d w i t h e x c e l l e n t acoustics. One new girl opined that while assembly activities are there they can be increased so that more children can participate.

Canteen has been a big hit with most newcomers and they have been

area often. They are very happy with the open air seating arrangement. A few feel that more variety can be added to the menu. Some have opted for Whattameal and Dabbawala and parents are very happy about the food arrangement.

The Before and After School

Activit ies have also been a hit with the

newcomers and many

have enrolled. They love the

variety of activities and the faculty. Children of working parents are really happy that they can be in school the entire time of their parents working hours.

A student of Class IX appreciated the career counselling sessions that are held from time to time and felt they would like more of the same.

While most n e w c o m e r s were happy with

the playground, a few felt that they should have more play

periods and the volley ball nets need

replacement.

Parents are very happy with Udgam

C o n n e c t i o n , the school mobile

app, the frequent

parent teacher meetings and the orientation meetings. Of

course their main relief is that their child has

settled down well in the new set up and they are all praises for the school, teachers and

infrastructure.

CHANGING SCHOOLS IS NOT eASY. NeWCOMeRS SOMeTIMeS FINd IT QUITe dIFFICULT TO AdJUST TO NeW SITUATIONS ANd THIS MAY ReSULT IN BeHAvIOUR PROBLeMS TOO. eXPeRTS SHARe A FeW TIPS FOR AdJUSTING TO A NeW SCHOOL BeTTeR-

1. Make it a team work: The entire family needs to be involved in the process of settling down along with the school. encouraging the child and preparing her for the new set up will help her in adapting better.

2. Visit the school and know the teachers: Before the first day of school it would be a good idea to familiarize the child with the new environment.

3. Be in touch with the teacher: Communicate with the child’s teachers more often in the starting days to know of any issue that needs to be dealt with.

4. Get the timings right: If your child is joining a new school after a vacation, then let him transition to the school year routine a week in advance.

5. Ask questions: Parents should be very sensitive to the child’s emotions in the first few days of joining a new place. Try to know about his teachers, friends, activities in school so that the child does not feel alone. If the child is unusually quiet then do not ignore.

From the Counsellors…ADOLESCENT LIFE


Through a clouded pair of spectaclesYou begin to seek life.

Before you know what’s out there.Before you know your minds eye.

You live in the now and forget what’s ahead.

You make impulse decisions,and your common sense you shed.

No responsibilities for anything at all.Family and money mean very little

of which you see no more.

Just living on your instinctto do what you see fit..

Knowing whatever you come acrosswill not bother you not one bit.

You float like a feather.through your teenage life.

You swim only in the deep endforever rolling the dice.

You regard nothing as your own,including your many mistakes.

You give me your words and promisesof which I know you that you will break.

Your world spins at a 100 miles per hour,yet you do not get travel sick.My only wish for you my love

is that something finally clicks.

That you find what it is you are looking for,So you can settle down.

I hope you get your train on trackand learn to swim before you drown..

The life I always dreamt for you,The one where it’s destination was clear.The life in which you will pick for yourself

I hope not one that I will fear.

I don’t want to

be fair and i don’t

care about being

handsome.

Hole in the ozone layer isfi nally ‘healing’

The ozone hole over Antarctica is fi nally “healing” almost 30 years after the world banned the chemicals responsible for its creation, researchers say.

According to the latest measurements, the ozone hole above the Antarctic is now smaller than it was around the year 2000, by about 4 million square kilometres.

Juno’s knocking on Jupiter’s door

Soon spacecraft Juno will be probing through the haze of the monstrous planet!

With more than twice the mass of all the other planets combined, Jupiter also reigns supreme. It’s the most infl uential member of our planetary family. Jupiter might have hurled the asteroids that delivered water to earth. It may have robbed Mars of planet-building material. And it could have nudged Uranus and Neptune to the outskirts of our solar system. Jupiter is also a massive time capsule. This ball of gas records what conditions were like when the planets formed more than 4 billion years ago.

People have been scrutinizing Jupiter for more than four centuries. eight spacecraft have visited the planet. But thick clouds conceal what goes on deep inside. So many of the planet’s most basic mysteries remain.

The Juno spacecraft is about to break through the haze.The spacecraft Juno left earth 5 years ago. Soon it will arrive at Jupiter and begin its up close investigations of the planet.

Three-toed sloths compensate by moving little and using the environment for heat There are degrees of slothfulness, even when it comes to sloths. And three-toed sloths may be the most slothful of all, new data show.Researchers studied two species of sloth in Costa Rica. They measured the rate at which these animals’ bodies operate, converting food to fuel and growth. And this metabolic rate in one species of three-toed sloth was the lowest ever recorded — not just for a sloth, but for any mammal.

BOOK& MOVIE REVIEW

UDGAM MATTERS15 August 2016

Lives changed by the healing power of beauty. Little Mary Lennox is brought up in India, a spoilt, sullen brat, whom her wealthy parents are more than happy to leave entirely in the care of their nanny. But when a cholera epidemic claims the lives of her mother and father, Mary is sent to live in her uncle’s mysterious old house on the rambling Yorkshire moors. Left to her own devices, talking only the the chambermaid Martha, she swiftly becomes even more disagreeable. But then Martha tells her a story about a secret garden hidden in the grounds, locked for ten years, ever since Mary’s aunt passed away. Her grieving uncle hid the key and forbade anyone to enter, ever again. But he hadn’t reckoned on the curiosity of the lonely little girl. mary fi nds a key, and tries

it in the lock of the ivy-covered door, which swings open onto a new, secret world. And

though she doesn’t know it yet, Mary’s discovery will change her life for good…

The Secret Garden was fi rst published in 1909. Its author,

Frances Hodgson Burnett, was a believer in Christian Science, which provided her with great

spiritual comfort after the death of her son Lionel. These beliefs

colour The Secret Garden, in particular the understanding that

the imagination, together with positive thinking, have a real and

tangible power to transform lives. Since publication The Secret Garden

has become a favourite children’s classic, and infl uenced

numerous modern writers.

The Pursuit of Happyness is a biographical fi lm which was made in 2006 in San Francisco, california. This fi lm tells about Chris Gardner’s life. He is a salesman who becomes a rich stockbroker. It has been directed by Gabriele Muccino. It is the story of one man’s determination and his single-handedly taking care of his

son against all odds. This entails plenty of struggle, right from sleeping out in the open to lining up at soup kitchens for meals. In the process the father picks up deep lessons from the son. Their relationship is heart wrenching as are several scenes in the movie. Will Smith who plays the

role of Chris Gardner delivers his best acting spell (was nominated for Oscar award) and is supported by his real life son Jaden Smith who beautifully portrays the emotions of a small son who is wise for his age and tries to look after his anguished father.

don’t even let somebody tell you, you can’t do something. Not even me, you got a dream, you gotta protect it. People can’t do something themselves, they wanna tell you that you

that you can’t do it to. You want something, go get it.Period

LIFE STORYwhat an inspiration!From Vadnagar to Gandhingar and Beyond…

(Source: narendramodi.in)

This is the story of a small boy who used to sell tea and who aspired to join the Indian Army but could not…

His journey began in the by-lanes of Vadnagar, a small and nondescript town in North Gujarat’s Mehsana district on 17th September 1950, 3 years after India attained freedom. Vadnagar is a town that is steeped in history. Archeological excavations suggest this was a vibrant centre of learning and spirituality.

His early years were far from what a fairy tale upbringing is like. The family belonged to the marginalized sections of society and had to struggle to make ends meet. The entire family lived in a small single storey house (approximately 40 feet by 12 feet). His father sold tea at the tea stall he set up in the local railway station. In his early years, the boy too lent a hand to his father at the tea stall.

These formative years left a strong imprint on him. As a child he balanced his studies, non-academic life and his contribution at the family tea stall. His schoolmates recall him as a diligent student with a penchant for debating and reading. He would spend hours and hours reading in the school library. He had a wide range of friends from

all the communities. As a child he often celebrated both Hindu and Muslim festivals considering the large number of Muslim friends he had in the neighbourhood.Yet, his thoughts, and dreams went way beyond a conventional life that began in the classroom and ended in the environs of an offi ce. He wanted to go out there

a n d make a

difference to society…to wipe tears and suff ering among people. At a

young age he developed an inclination towards renunciation and asceticism. He gave up eating salt, chilies, oil and jaggery. Reading the works of Swami Vivekananda cover to cover took him to a journey of spiritualism and laid the foundation for his own mission to fulfi ll Swami Vivekananda’s dream of a Jagad Guru Bharat.

If there is one word that characterized his childhood and stayed with him for the rest of his life, it is service.When fl oods wrecked havoc in the Tapi River, 9 year old he and his friends started a food stall and donated the proceeds for relief work. When the war with Pakistan was at its peak he set out on the railway

station and served tea to the Jawans who were going and coming from the border. This was a small step but it displayed his fi rm resolve to answer the call of Mother India, even at a remarkably young age.

He had one dream- to serve in the Indian Army. For many youngsters of his time, the Army was seen as the ultimate means of serving Mother India. He wanted to enroll in the SainikSchool at Jamnagar but as luck would have it, when the time came to pay the fees, there was no money at home. But, fate had diff erent plans for this young boy who was disappointed on not being able to wear the uniform of a Jawan. Over the years he embarked on a unique path that took him across India in pursuit of the larger mission to serve humanity.

Today we know him asPrime Minister Narendra Modi.

RECALLS

AN

The path of a school going kid’s life has quite a few milestones and transitions.

Changing a school midway is seemingly one of the difficult transitions he has to face. I took admission in Udgam in 5th Standard in the year 1989 and was the only student to get through the entrance exams, amidst students applying for different grades. To be very frank, I hadn’t known much about the school and was quite anxious about the new environs. The first thing that really impressed me was that the principal of the school Late Mrs.Sarojben Carvalho, who knew every student by name. It was almost as if the school was like a large joint family staying together in this cosy building. That eased my nerves a lot and made the transition comfortable. If I had put my finger on one particular thing that changed significantly in my approach to life, it was competitiveness. I developed a desire to excel in whatever I did, and gave it my best shot, be it studies, sports or extra-curricular activities. I had many classmates around me, some of whom excelled in studies while some won laurels in sports at the state and national level. That instilled this go-getter desire in me that if you want to achieve something in life, you have

to work hard towards your goal; no half-hearted efforts. Today I am an architect-urban planner and have my own consultancy and keep taking part in lot of design competition projects. I can safely say that this competitive instinct that I have developed is deeply ingrained in the school atmosphere that I got in Udgam. The teachers we had during those times were more like guides and advisors who believed in clearing concepts, no matter how many times we would reach out to them. The encouragement that I received from the teachers drove me to do my best in whatever assignments we got. The other very significant aspect that I truly admired was the importance given to spoken English. It was compulsory to speak in English, be it in class or even while chatting with friends. There were negative marks given if you were caught speaking in any other language. This I feel was quite a fantastic thing, as many other English medium schools that existed during those times, had students who could not converse in English for the reason that not much emphasis was laid on English. I strongly feel that if a student has strong base in spoken and written English during his formative years in school, it makes a huge difference in the later years. I have seen quite a few people around

me who find it difficult to write or converse in English even after doing post graduation from very premier institutes. The other thing that was a game changer was the ability of the school to spot and nurture specific talents in the students giving them the right exposure to allow them to hone those skills. I remember being sent to quite a few drawing competitions, quiz contests and word power contests to represent Udgam, art, general knowledge and literature being my favourite subjects back then. The pride associated with representing your school and competing with other schools was a huge confidence booster. “I realize today the value of the nurturing I received during my formative years with Udgam, when during conversations with people, I mention that I am an Udgam product, people take notice”.

THE RIGHTWAY TO READ

WITH YOUR CHILDA quick guide for parents

Select the right book: This seals the deal as children like to read books they love. It could be because of the cover and pictures inside

or because they can also read most of the words in the book.

Track what you read: For smaller children use a ruler, a pen, or your finger to track the words and the lines as you read aloud or read along.

Use a variety of reading material: Do not opt for fiction everyday. Use factual as well as informative material along with the works of fiction.

Show interest: Do not read just out of sheer habit or to get a job done. Take sufficient interest so that the child does the same. When you read

aloud use expressions and if possible props.

Read the synopsis first: Discuss the synopsis, the blurb at the back, that will attract your child to read the book.

Look up the difficult words: While reading make a note of the difficult words and look them up along with your young reader.

Review them again when you begin reading the next time.

Set a routine: Make reading a part of your daily routine.It could be after dinner or at bedtime.
