DIWALI “I presented the thought for the day in
A Diwali, with a promise - to be the change:
asatomā sadgamaya
tamasomā jyotir gamaya
mrityormāamritam gamaya
Om śhānti śhānti śhāntih
(From ignorance, lead me to truth;
From darkness, lead me to light;
From death, lead me to immortality
Om peace, peace, peace)
A special assembly to celebrate the festival of
Diwali was presented on October 25, 2019, by
the students of Class VI. Through the programme,
the students of grade VI portrayed the
significance of light that creates sheer magic
and radiance in the surroundings and fills the
mind with positivity. The students of the
Primary wing also had a special assembly to
celebrate the festival of lights. They enacted a
play based on the story of Lord Rama
returning to Ayodhya.
‘A Diwali with a difference’ is what Principal,
Ms Seema Kaur tried to inculcate among the
young learners through her address. She
appealed to the students to go green and
convince their parents to do away with the
concept of wrapping Diwali gifts as that
would create less trash and would eventually
restore, renew and sustain the manifold
beauty of Mother Earth. She further urged
everyone to illuminate the world with joy,
happiness and cheer.

“The Diwali Assembly we did last year was a
day to remember. As it was the Diwali
assembly, it had to be glamorous and
meaningful! We decided on a good script
which the comperers executed very well. We
also did a street play alongside a dance
performance.
The preparation for the street play was done
mostly by students. We prepared the script,
got it edited and practised. After many tries,
when we got it all right, we were overjoyed!
We knew the assembly was going to be a
success.”

“The saying, "Good Wins Over Evil " goes hand
in hand with Diwali. The presentation by the
students of grade VI beautifully demonstrated
the importance of this saying. From the
assembly, I also learnt some interesting facts
about how Diwali is celebrated all over India.”
