 Fight


When you fight

To show your muscle and might

It could turn into an awful sight

Fight for what you think is right.

Are Resolutions Valid?

 It's that time of the year when Santa is making his list of 'naughty and nice'and you

  besides getting the Christmas tree and lights out, somewhere at the back of your mind are toying with resolutions to be made  for the New Year. 

Your resolutions will be as valid as you want them to be. Even as the shine of the new year dulls and you trudge on determined to see at least one resolution through, you are winning. Its okay to fail and to fall but as long as you don't give in to,'spirit is willing but flesh is weak' your resolutions are valid. 

So its you and only you who make the resolution valid or invalid.

A schoolbag of memories

Four decades have winged by; 

Since I crossed a T and dotted an I

Within the portals of Sacred Heart High. 
Looking back with so much nostalgia 
I sift through my memorabilia 

And thro’the past I let my mind wander…

 

Standing in line for morning assembly at 9 
Drill, athletics, mathematics
That sometimes caused a dreadful colic. 
Rotation and Revolution

Fractions and chemical reactions

 Not Everyone's cup of tea.

Yes I remember ol’ Allauddin Khiliji!

 

‘March Past Eliminations'examinations 

At the time, matters of great consternation!
Elocution and debates always on our plates.
Sports Day, Hip-hip Hurray!
Who’s going to carry the cup away?
Kho-Kho, Kabbadi
Weren't they favourites of everybody!

Singing ditties was so much fun.

 

Like those lunches we shared beneath the sun…
Teachers strict, yet always kind
The ones who helped us get thro’ the grind –
“Love Conquers All”, they reiterated
Lifetime values they inculcated.

 

The self control bell
Meant you just couldn’t yell

And a two minute impatient silence fell.

 

There was happiness and sadness 
And more than an ounce of madness
In that very dear school
Where we had to live by the rule.
