"Warriors are not born, they are made in INDIAN ARMY."
Captain Manoj Kumar Pandey lost his life while fighting in Kargil. He said:” If death strikes before I prove my blood, I swear I’ll kill death”. Our students had researched about those brave soldiers who fought valiantly and lost their lives. They presented an informational skit which left the audience nostalgic.
The objective was to reinforce the importance of 26th July 1999 and understand it’s relevance in our History. We showcased a video where children of Shiv Nadar School were asked to recognize some important dates like 14th Nov, 26th January and 5th September etc. and then finally they were asked to recognize 26th July 1999 which left them speechless!
Building on the same note, we showcased a video which brought the Kargil War Alive. Why and where it happened, how many brave soldiers we lost and when did it come to an end explaining the whole event in chronological manner. Finally seeding in the importance of this day in our lives and Indian History.
Then we had a poem recitation by Mansi Grade 9 student where she recited a poem on Kargil War by Late Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee. Followed by though of the day by Suhani grade 9 student - As George Patton said, “The soldier is the Army. No army is better than its soldiers. The Soldier is also a citizen. In fact, the highest obligation and privilege of citizenship is that of bearing arms for one’s country.”
We concluded the assembly with 2mins silence in the remembrance of our martyrs and National Anthem.
WALK THE TALK
Chef Bhasin started the session with showcasing an interesting video about cooking techniques which are used in the Hotel Industry to create different cuisines and food shapes. He introduced children with the fact that Everything about a professional kitchen (even an educational one) is easily 100 times more intense than your home kitchen. Knives are sharper, stoves are hotter, space is tighter, and everything moves at a sprintlike pace. Even simple tasks like turning on a stove are much more difficult, and you'll be expected to figure everything out very quickly.
Post the video introduction, he briefly talked about Hotel Management and different streams it offers. He shared his journey, experiences, challenges and various opportunities that came his way of becoming an Executive Chef. He talked about the role & responsibilities one needs to take up to survive in Hotel and Tourism Industry and also mentioned about one clear Rule - ‘Customers First’ Chef Bhasin referred himself as a chef who gives emotions to the ingredients to reach the heart through the stomach. He motioned that "Visual appeal and presentation is key to a cuisine and a concept's success as we do eat with our eyes and first impressions are everlasting," He talked about cross culture culinary experience with some real life example to relate with our students.
The icing on the cake was the live demo where he prepared ‘Watermelon and Feta Salad’ for our audience.

Book Lovers' Club
"We Read and We Encourage Everyone to Read". With this thought, we initiated a Book Lovers' Club for our parents who would meet once a month. The first meeting was held on Saturday, 3rd August with the theme: Let's start with a short story'. When parents met, there was a splendid activity conducted with them 'Let's be Wordsmith'. Parents were to give captions to certain images that were shown to them. Post that, parents read profound short stories that were quite relatable. It was delightful and overwelming to see zealous parents narrating stories including "The Holocaust"and "The postmaster". Few parfents also came up with hindi short stories.
Principal, Ms. Anju Wal ended the session with a short story on The Bet by Anton Chekhov.
