The CBSE's belief 'Catch them Young' resulted in the incorporation of 'Health and Fitness' into the school curriculum. A session that had an overwhelming response from the students. The reason being crystal clear… more time on the playground !! But why is it so important to remain fit? It is the physical well being that encompasses a healthy mind. Your mind is the engine that sets the machine, in this case your body to work joyfully. A healthy mind and body is all about making the right choices; like being active, exercising, thinking positive, working hard and focusing on your goal. When we are fit in body and mind, we remain healthy and happy. So eat right, have some structured exercise, do your assigned duties and be happy. Every year we have to bid farewell to a staff member. It is a heart wrenching task but has to be done and this year we say adieu to three of the VM family members. Mr. G Mohaan, the ever popular PT master, Mrs. Rama the loving and lovable teacher from the KG and Mr. Venkatesa Perumal, from the office known for his precision. All have put in long years of service, having worked faithfully and tirelessly for the institution and now step out to enjoy their retirement. We wish them all a happy and healthy retirement. Do get to know them better in this issue by reading their interviews. All of us are aware of the dictum “Be the change you want to see” We at Darpan have taken a small step to do our bit towards conservation. No longer will Darpan be printed for Darpan goes digital ! Of course the essence remains the same, with the articles in all languages, school reports, the art work etc. Happy Reading ! 3 Vidya Mandir Darpan 2019 - 2020 Editorial Board STUDENTS TEACHERS Mridula Ganesh Mr Saravanan Manasvini Sekar Mr CK Sivaramakrishnan Meera V Mr K K Jeyadevan Bhagyashree Sriram Ms Rajalakshmi Divyashree Sriram Ms K S Bhuvaneshwari Ananyaa K Ms Subhapradha Nandita Ganesh Ms T Sharada Itkila Ramachandran Ms Sheela Sridhar Raghavendra Ravi Raman Ms Susila Sampathkumar Vibha Sangeetha Ms Anuradha Anand 4 Vidya Mandir Darpan 2019 - 2020 PREFECTS SPL Avinash Narsipur ASPL Nishant S ASPL Harshini S 5 Vidya Mandir Darpan 2019 - 2020 PREFECTS Nanga Parbat House A P Arjun Sneha Raghuram Kailash House Kessav N Supraja Kanchenjunga House Tejas Kaundinya Meera Kumar Neelkant House John Tarun George Sagarikha N Sports Secretary Dhananjay Dhanshita Cultural Secretary Aditya Ramakrishnan Sapna Krishnakumar Spam Secretary K K Arvind Vidya Dhwani Editor Tejasri 6 Vidya Mandir Darpan 2019 - 2020 Class - XII 7 Vidya Mandir Darpan 2019 - 2020 Class - XII 8 Vidya Mandir Darpan 2019 - 2020 Class - XII 9 Vidya Mandir Darpan 2019 - 2020 ODI VILAYADU PAPA A story from the PT room of Vidya Mandir, the last period of a hot and sunny day. Mohaan Sir takes a break to answer the questions posed by the Darpan Editorial team and his friend VV. CHARACTERS DARPAN : Students by the names of Mridula, Meera, Vibha and Divya. GM : Mohaan Ganesan, PT teacher and overall superstar of VM VV : Viswanathan V, Techie, Economist and a close friend of the superstar SCENE DARPAN : In which year did you join Vidya Mandir? GM : I joined Vidya Mandir in 1994. DARPAN : Were you a science or a commerce student? GM : Science. I did my BSc in mathematics DARPAN : Which sport did you specialise in? GM : Football. I also did athletics. I was the athletics champion of my physical education college. I also captained my college cricket team between 1982-83. DARPAN : What are your hobbies? GM : I read books. I enjoy reading poetry, like Bharathiyar Padals. I also used to enjoy reading books, historical ones. Now, I don’t have the time. Of course, sports was always one of my favourite hobbies, before I took it up as a profession. DARPAN : Who is your inspiration in the sports field? GM : No, nobody in particular. Many of my co-players were very good. I played in the nationals (football) with some good players. In college, I was awarded by Mr.Wilcox, the state champion of pole vaulting at that time. Pole vaulting was my main event DARPAN : What made you decide to teach at Vidya Mandir? 10 Vidya Mandir Darpan 2019 - 2020 GM : I was a part of the P.T department at Santhome School. I was planning to join the railways, but I found that I liked working with students and joined here instead. DARPAN : What was your first day here like? What were your expectations? GM : I have worked in 2-3 schools in the past. But something about our school is that our students are very intelligent. Even when doing mischief, they do it using their brains. They also grasp things very quickly. There is a lot of enthusiasm from the children, parents and the school management. That is a very good thing about our school. There is also a very good balance between sports and academics and focus on all-round development. DARPAN : Which was the most memorable year for you in Vidya Mandir? GM : I don’t think there was any year in particular. I feel like every day is quite memorable. We face a new set of students and new experiences each year. We learn a lot each day, and we are adapting ourselves to have a good understanding with the students. I think it is necessary to do this in order to run a good show and achieve maximum results DARPAN : What are the qualities you would like to see in a VM student? GM : I feel that our students are good as they are. There is no such thing as good quality or bad quality. Everybody has their bad days and there is no student with a bad or a good attitude. Also, over the years, we can see their character develop into something good. DARPAN : How do you feel when you see your students grow and develop and succeed in the sport of their choice over the years? GM : I feel proud of course (laughs). Not just about myself. As a teacher, there are innumerable things you can teach, but it is important how the student works to execute them well. DARPAN : Who are your closest friends in Vidya Mandir? 11 Vidya Mandir Darpan 2019 - 2020 GM : I think my closest friends are GP sir, CKS Sir and Vishwanathan sir. I am friendly with all the staff. (ENTER VV Sir Stage right) VV : You have always kept your standards and those of the school’s at the highest level. How have you done that? GM : (laughs) He is complimenting me. All we (teachers) want is for our students to be happy. If they are happy, we are satisfied. DARPAN : Both of you have been actively involved in various team activities (trekking, health camps etc). Based on these experiences, what do you think is essential for a team? VV &GM : We need to keep in mind what the primary aim of the exercise is. If we have the same ideas about it, then it is possible to pull up more like-minded people and make it happen. DARPAN : What would you do if you were a student who had left his ID card at home? GM : If it was the first time I had left it at home, I would apologise to the ID card in-charge.

  • Novels of Paul G
    Novels of Paul G. Dedicated to the fond memories of my dad, Dr. George Gasper This is purely a work of fiction and has no resemblance or nothing to do with anyone living or dead and the author profusely apologizes and regrets if the feelings of anybody is hurt or offended. MALDIVES TALES When I am sitting on my easy chair and thinking about writing Maldives Tales, my dream to become a writer is fulfilled. Everything happens for a reason and there is no coincidence. Life always put me in very tricky and delicate situations so that I could feel the hands of Providence always in my life, supporting and sustaining me, as well as those of the evil one trying to hamper my dream to be a writer to come true. I tried myriad ways to get exposure and experience, to bring out the best in me. I went chasing a dream to be a writer and that dream came pursuing me and I learned that the best is yet to come, all is always for better and now is the best and most opportune time for everything, even in this corolla times. Since I had an accident breaking my right leg, I had to postpone a Middle East trip, the next day and that saved me from getting stranded in some airport and undergoing quarantine there. There is such an episode in my life that I always wanted to forget, but never could, and it always came popping up on the monitor of my mind, like a disco, snorkelling in the shallow seas, scuba diving, beach parties or even a hard drink of Tequila with a pinch of pepper on the expense account, the life at Pathala resort in Maldives, a sought after destination of the billionaires and connoisseurs of the world, who did not know what else to do with their money, which they had plenty.

  • Indigenous Graphic Design Practices
    CHAPTER5 INDIGENOUS GRAPHIC DESIGN PRACTICES Is graphic design only a modern idea or do we have art practices from earlier times which could be called graphic design practices? Do only the urban educated practise graphic design or can we find art practices in tribal and rural areas among people and communities that are not educated in a modern way? What do you think? Yes, we can see many art activities that come under graphic design among the pre-modern and traditional people and communities. It ranges from drawings on thresholds to corners, walls, roofs and front-yards of houses. The list goes on to the handloom cloth, ceramic decorations, tattoos, designs on hands and palms such as the mehendi to religious icons and yantras, talismans, walls and roofs of temples and forts in India and so on. All the art activities can be distinguished from the modern or contemporary graphic design practices and may be called indigenous graphic design traditions or traditional graphic design practices. Based on the tradition to which they belong, living Indian indigenous graphic designs and motifs may broadly be classified as under: ª Vedic and earlier design practices ªFolk and popular traditions ªTribal design practices ªTantric design practices CHAPTER5 INDIGENOUS GRAPHIC DESIGN PRACTICES Is graphic design only a modern idea or do we have art practices from earlier times which could be called graphic design practices?

  • History of Rangoli Rangoli at Diwali
    History of Rangoli Rangoli at Diwali Rangoli, which means rows of colours, is drawn on the entrance and filled with colours during Diwali. Rangoli designs are created using the thumb and forefinger. It is drawn to welcome guests and different Gods and Goddesses and to bring joy into homes. Origin of Rangoli Lopamudra was the wife of a sage called, Augustya Rishi. She also wrote 2 portions of the Rigveda (famous holy books). She and her husband lived in a remote place, away from others. People would describe them as hermits. Lopamudra wanted help her husband in worshiping the gods, so she started to make rangoli, a decoration for the Yagyakunda. Yagyakunda is what we call a place of worship. Lopamudra asked the Panchatatva (the five elements – sky, wind, water, earth, fire) to give her colours to please her husband. She was able to collect blue from sky, green from water, black from soil, red from fire and white from wind. She then added these colours to the rangoli (made from ground rice, lentils, flowers and spices) which is why they look so beautiful today. Rangoli Colours Blue represents the sky and green represents the sea. Both colours bring calm and helps with using our imagination. These are good colours for story-telling. Black brings strength and stability. Red, the colour of fire or danger, represents the code of conduct the artist must follow. White represents peace and positivity and embodies all colours. All of these colours in Rangoli bring in elements that we wish for in the new year, when celebrating Diwali.

  • A Language of Symbols: Rangoli Art of India by Nayana Tadvalkar
    A Language of Symbols: Rangoli Art of India Nayana Tadvalkar Abstract Rangavali or Rangoli is an ephemeral floor art practiced in India since ancient times. The sources of the rangoli diagram lie in the protection sought by Homo sapiens in the magical drawings, which were believed to prevent the auras of bad spirits from coming into the house. This tradition continues down the history of man till date. Rangoli, essentially a woman’s art, carries connotations of anonymity, collective wisdom, spontaneity and simplicity. It reflects the larger philosophy of life through patterns of memory and an extensive visual and geometric vocabulary. The art of rangoli is a storehouse of symbols. Beginning with the auspicious dot, the symbols go on expanding to form a line and the basic geometrical shapes like the circle, triangle, square and so on, each having its own significance. The geometrical figures as the point, line, circle, triangle and square, have a symbolic value in representing the basic energies of the universe. The survival of rangoli symbols through space and time and their facility for absorption in new environments can be attributed to their simplicity, flexibility and elemental appeal and most importantly to the beliefs of the people. This paper attempts to trace the meaning of symbols hidden in the rangoli diagrams. Rangoli or Rangavali in Sanskrit - rang (colour) and aavali (row), is an ancient Indian folk art created on the floor. Literally, it means creepers drawn in colours. In India, traditional place to draw rangolis is the threshold of the house, a zone of passage from the known – the house, to the unknown outer world.
