Independence Day!!!
Hey everyone, let me first wish all of you a very...
Happy 58th Independence Day!!!
Our Principal had mentioned that it is our national duty to be present today for Independence Day Celebrations. Yet many students gave it a miss so that they could prepare for the upcoming Unit Tests. This is really a sad situation, but what can you expect when there is so much cut-throat competition when it comes to academics? No matter how hard the principal tries, she won't be able to ensure 100% attendence on such important dates....unless of-course she "bribes" students with Marks...he he...
Anyway enough about the educational system, I'm going too much off-topic. Our School too had it's own way of celebrating Independence Day. The much-awaited Patriotic Singing Competition was held today and here's my personal view about it.
I had practically seen every house practice for the competition. Each House seemed capable to grab the first place but for some reason, the instruments, the beats and the voices just seemed to have lost their co-ordination. This was the same case with all the houses and according to me, the house that won, had made the least mistakes. And that was ANGRE which grabbed the Shield ( and you know what?? On the Shield was engraved...:"CRICKET SHIELD"...I realised that as I lifted it with Prachi ) but who cares what you get, as long as you win it for the house. All the male singers were "punished"(lol) to wear DHOTI'S...and I think that probably the attire made it easier for us to reach top-spot.
Then followed the speech of Cmde. Gidwani (my apologies in case i got the rank and name wrong) and thanks to background interference, the reactions of the seated students was rather amusing...However the Prefectorial Council seemed to do a good job in maintaining discipline today.
The Head Boy and Head Girl's presence as MC was also greatly appreciated.
So much for 15th August. Coming up now on 18th August is the Investiture Ceremony. Be sure to tune in to this Blog for the post on that
