2. EDITORIAL
Dear Reader (s)
Greetings to you
The simple path silence is prayer, prayer is faith, faith is love and
love is service, the fruit of service is Peace.
Very few fully realize the wealth of sympathy, benevolence, kind-
ness and generosity hidden in the soul of a child. The effort of
every educator should be to unlock that treasure. As it is rightly
said that “It is better to be a man of values than a man of suc-
cess.”
So I feel working for community service is a noble act which
penetrates deep inside our soul. The initiative drive in the form of
Roti Bank, where Roti and vegetable is donated for the under-
privileged children has created a milestone.
I just want to urge that we must join our hands for the upliftment
of the community as ‘A journey of a thousand miles starts with a
single step.’
Cheers for all the victories and wishes for
all the sweeps yet to come!

3. Dear Students,
“Kindness does not show only mannerism, it shows that you are Hu-

There are a myriad of things the world could benefit from having more

only helping others, you are helping yourself too. There is a substantial
scientific evidence that being kind makes you -- happy. Love and
Kindness are never wasted. They always make a difference . It is a
reminder that the world is not at all bad. There are a lot of wonderful
people out there - people who are kind, generous and giving and al-
though we cant stop these awful things happen, we can be kind to one
another and do our best whether it be picking up a coin for someone at
the supermarket or writing a little note to a friend, giving a little gift or
stopping to help a stranger, it may seem little to you but to someone
else it might just make their day. So it is rightly said that no act of
