AASCENTSCENT - 22014.indd014.indd 4 55/27/2014/27/2014 55:06:30:06:30 PPMM EDITORIAL FROM THE BOARD BOARD ROOM We have the pleasure of bringing out yet another issue of our JHPS Annual magazine ‘Ascent’ in commemoration of the 150th Birthday of Swami Vivekananda. To cherish high ideals, to reach great heights in life, to come out with fl ying colours in one’s endeavours, to attain a desired goal even after facing mighty obstacles is the ambition of every JHPian. To create such JHPians who will bring glory to JHPS, we have to mouldthem in the right manner. We need to expose them to the positive methods of learning. That is what, we at JHPS strive to do for the students. Modern system of education has distanced itself from the objectives of Swami Vivekananda but as teachers if we can fi ght MMs.s. MM.. LLakshmiakshmi GGowriowri against all odds and try to inculcate these objectives, our goal MMs.s. VVinodinod KumariKumari CChiefhief EEditorditor and vision will be achieved. Swami Vivekananda has already DDept.ept. ooff HindiHindi suggested the type of education the present generation needs today. He said, “We want that education by which character is formed, strength of mind is increased, the intellect is expanded, and by which one can stand on one’s own feet.” Education, thus, is an evolution . . . and values and ideas too should evolve with time, otherwise it will not make a child complete, creative and considerate. We are here to try and mould the growing change with the best possible environment, not in size, but in quality so that we can defi ne and refi ne the vision of the school. Well, as you read this magazine, I’m sure you would be genuinely impressed to see a wide range of write -ups like poems and message – oriented articles of Swami Vivekananda, Dream meetings and conversations with Swami Vivekananda, Promises MMs.s. KKantaanta CChettrihettri for tomorrow, interviews and general articles. Apart from this, this MMr.r. AA.. SS.. RR.. K MMurthyurthy DDept.ept. ofof EEnglishnglish edition serves like a mirror which refl ects the annual events of the DDept.ept. ooff SanskritSanskrit school and the achievements of the students. Every care has been taken to make this edition ‘interesting, innovative, impressive and message – oriented.’ We regret in case of any errors that might have crept in inadvertently. We thank all those who have helped in different ways so as to make this school magazine a success.

Happy Reading!

AASCENTSCENT - 22014.indd014.indd 5 55/27/2014/27/2014 55:06:30:06:30 PPMM Student Editorial Message

Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success. Swami Vivekananda

This particular quote was the most inspiring one I‛ve read in the recent times. This particular edition is now ready for the release which is in commemoration of the 150th Birthday of Swami Vivekananda.

When we were given the opportunity to be the Editors of the School Magazine, we immediately worked upon the theme. We spent hours together editing the articles, conducting interviews and writing articles ourselves for the magazine. We really worked hard, and now it has paid off! We got to know so much about what JHPS wants to do in the future .The articles written by the students and teachers, views shared by the higher authorities, messages given by the eminent personalities speak volumes about Swamiji‛s life and his valuable messages. They are indeed inspiring, motivating and educating! This publication also carries a lot of information about not just the events of our School, but also the events around the world.

We hope, this magazine serves you as a unique Edition of our School. So much of hard work has been put into it and of course, you are a part of it for the success of its launch. Enjoy reading!

I am extremely glad to know that the management of Jubilee Hills Public School, Hyderabad, is bringing out the annual magazine on the occasion of the 150th Birth Anniversary of Swami Vivekananda and on the theme ‘Tomorrow’s Promise’.

Any magazine of an educational institution is a welcome addition to the students and others because it is an opportunity to showcase their writing skills and bring out the creative ideas hidden within oneself. Thanks to the fast paced technology boom, the youth who have the writing ﬂ air are becoming less and less and the quality of writing is becoming a reality of the past. I hope and wish that the contents of the magazine will inspire the youngsters to use their pen and thoughts for stimulating their intelligence for positive and the noble purposes. Swami Vivekananda who was a champion of Education and National Development wanted an education system that would give character, courage, purity, a spirit of philanthropy and which would enable a person stand on his or her own feet. Moreover, the youth should have a real education rooted in ancient cultural and spiritual values for the whole nation, nay the whole universe.

I convey my greetings and best wishes to the management, faculty and the students of Jubilee Hills Public School for academic success combined with Human Excellence and in imparting character building education to the students. My sincere prayer to Bhagavan Sri Ramakrishna, Holy Mother Sri Sarada Devi and Swami Vivekananda to shower their choicest Blessing on all concerned!!

With Loving Greetings

Srimath Swami Jnanadananda President, Ramakrishna Math Hyderabad.

It is heartening to commemorate the patriotic saint and philosopher Swami Vivekananda.

I deem it a privilege to send a few words as a token of my SHRADANJALI to Swami Vivekananda in commemoration with his 150th Birth Anniversary.

Jubilee Hills Public School is a reputed institution with high moral values bringing out the Annual Magazine ‘ASCENT’ for the academic year 2013-14 in commemoration with the 150th Birth Anniversary of Swami Vivekananda and also in connection with the theme ‘TOMORROW’S PROMISE.

India is proud to have outstanding Social Reformer like Swami ji who gave inspiring messages to the Global Community. He is not only a Social Reformer but a ray of hope for the Youth for all times and for all generations .His life is signiﬁ cant with varied Messages which awakened the dormant ﬁ re among the Youth.

The message I learnt from him is ‘MEANS ARE AS IMPORTANT AS AN END’. He has not only addressed the social ills of the existing generation but also left indelible mark in the minds of the future generation. That is the reason; his ‘Universal Development’ can be seen as a process of expanding the ‘Humanistic Values of Life’. I am aware that the institution is not only cherishing his high values but also practicing his Ideology. I wish the Institution all the success in their endeavour.

Dear Students and Staﬀ ,

Congratulations to you all on the completion of yet one more successful year. The theme of this year’s school magazine ASCENT is “tomorrow’s promise”. I will share my views on this subject with the help of a couple of quotations, which should be read together in conjunction. “Tomorrow is promised to no one.” - Clint Eastwood (famous Hollywood Actor/Producer/Director) “Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today.” -Malcolm X (controversial human rights activist 1925-1965) The message is clear. Tomorrow belongs to those of you who prepare for it today, by taking advantage of quality education. The management and the staﬀ of the JHPS endeavor to do that and it is your responsibility to take the best advantage of this. We are also celebrating the 150th birth anniversary of Swami Vivekananda. While many consider Swami Vivekananda as a great religious leader and a Hindu Monk, for me he is a spiritual (as opposed to religious) guru. Very little of what the Swami has espoused is Hindu speciﬁ c. What he has taught and propagated is to have faith in the human nature and live life without fear. I bring to you this quotation from the Swami which brings out this idea. “If faith in ourselves had been more extensively taught and practiced, I am sure a very large portion of the evils and miseries that we have would have vanished.” - Swami Vivekananda I wish you all a long and prosperous career and life of nurturing and upholding high values. Thank you,

KODE SATYANARAYANA President - Jubilee Hills Education Society

Vision of Vivekananda

In memory of Swami Vivekananda, our school has grandly celebrated his 150th Birth anniversary and it is time that we reﬂ ect on his life and legacy.

Vivekananda realized that mankind is passing through crisis and he strongly felt that only Education is the main solution for eliminating all evils. He said that the goal of all education is man-making by invoking the spirit of inquiry in the child. Vivekananda also laid a lot of emphasis on Home and School environment for proper character of the child.

Reminding the educated Indians of their duty towards the nation he said, “I hold every person a traitor who having been educated at their expense, pays not the least heed to them.”

Keeping his inspiring ideas in mind let us all come together to his call of “Arise, awake and stop not till the goal is reached”.

Tomorrow’s Promise - The Challenge -The Opportunities

The Promise The promise to children and their future requires vision and support for it to become a reality. • First, the realization will come through the extraordinary promise of young people and their ability to imagine, create, and manage an even better future and tomorrow. Today’s students are truly tomorrow’s promise. It is in the interest of all of us to provide each and every child access to a system of education that will prepare them to take on the huge challenges and magnifi cent opportunities before them. • Second, the realization will come through our shared and enduring commitment to a framework that ensures students will receive high-quality education that prepares them for success in a rapidly changing world which is the best investment we can make for future returns. The Challenge The challenge can be resolved when people reconcile the diff erence between what we say we value and how we choose to invest our resources. The Opportunities There is a role for everyone in unlocking the potential of today’s leaders and learners to fulfi ll tomorrow’s promise. What can you do to fulfi ll the promise and realize the dream? Learn about it. Talk about it. Commit to it. The education we give will ultimately provide INDIA with both a strong economy and a civilized society. “Stand up, be bold, be strong. Take the whole responsibility on your own shoulders, and know that you are the creator of your own destiny. All the strength and succour you want is within yourselves. Therefore, make your own future”-Swami Vivekananda I wish the JHPS staff & students who are celebrating the150th birth anniversary of Swami Vivekananda all the best.

A New Tryst with Destiny

Nehru in his “Tryst With Destiny” speech on the eve of our Independence said, “The achievement we celebrate today is but a step, an opening of opportunity, to the greater triumphs and achievements that await us. Are we brave enough and wise enough to grasp this opportunity and accept the challenge of the future?” In the 67 years of our Independence what do we see in hindsight? Did we take the requisite step to development? Were we brave enough and wise enough to grasp this opportunity and accept the challenge of the Future? Or did we prove a renowned World Leaders’ argument that if India is granted freedom, “They will ﬁ ght amongst themselves for power & India will be lost in political squabbles. A day would come when even air & water would be taxed in India.” Are we today, with the change that is emerging, on the threshold of regrouping ourselves to prove him wrong? Are we on the verge of becoming a Developed Nation after being a developing nation for so long? Swami Vivekananda said “We have a glorious past but we cannot rest on that….. We must build an India yet greater than what she has been. There have been periods of decay and degradation. I do not attach much importance to them; we all know that. Such periods have been necessary. A mighty tree produces a beautiful ripe fruit. That fruit falls on the ground, it decays and rots, and out of that decay springs the root and the future tree, perhaps mightier than the ﬁ rst one.” Our youth who are ‘Tomorrow’s Promise’; on whom the destiny of our Nation rests should never forget the vision and dream that the dawn of our Nation had envisaged for us. If we have decayed, let us regenerate. Schools and Parents should realize the enormous responsibility of nurturing fertile young minds. Unless we sow the seeds of nation building in these students India cannot reap a rich harvest by becoming a developed Nation. We should make our Students aware of the price that we as a Nation would have to pay if we become lax or there is lack of unity among us.

Let us be the Change to usher in Tomorrow’s Promise.

A) I believe commitment and responsibility are the most important qualities to lead any educational institution to success. They are HEART TALK not only qualities, but are determinants and requirements of any effi cient leadership. Also hard work is extremely important. I would WITH THE also like to add that in order to lead any institution towards success one must be smart as well. PRINCIPAL Q) In your opinion, what are the key ingredients for the true and right education of a child? A) Education should be the right blend of academics, sports, co- curricular activities, values and morals. There is no use of education without values, morals and ethics. I believe if you don’t believe in the values you are nothing. Also the child must be provided the best infrastructure and technology. Q) What has been your greatest achievement as the Principal of JHPS? A) My greatest achievement as the Principal of JHPS is to see JHPS placed at 54th position in the India School Ranking by Education World magazine. We have also been awarded CBSE Sanitation award and received a cash price of Rs. 60,000/-. This year also, we have successfully secured the blue rating for the same, which only few schools from Hyderabad have received. Q) What is your vision to make JHPS a better educational institution? A) I am consistently making efforts to make JHPS one among the top schools in Hyderabad, in fact the best. We are not 100%, I can say we are 99% perfect and the rest 1% will remain for further more advancements. One major goal in the future is to receive CBSE accreditation. It is a process which requires the support of all teachers, management and parents. But the task must be easier after receiving ISO certifi cation. Education should be the Q) What has been the most cherishable moments of your course of work? right blend of academics, A) (laughs) Any major cultural event, be it Annual Day or Sports day are times which I cherish the most, when I can relax and sports, co-curricular admire the wonderful performances put up by the students. These are the times when the hard work of the four major pillars of this institution – parents, teachers, students and Management is activities, values and refl ected. Showcasing talents is also important. I also cherish the morals. There is no use good academic results a lot. Q) What do you consider the ‘JHPS effect’ to be on any student? of education without A) Wherever I go, students wish me, unlike many other children who try and escape from their teachers. Our alumnus greets and approaches us even today. I believe that these are the values that values, morals and ethics JHPS has given them. No matter what profession they are in, they are still down-to-earth and give utmost respect to others. This is how a JHPian is distinguished from others. Attitude is everything!

Our Kindergarten class is a place for talking, thinking, and hands-on learning.

Our curriculum outcomes for preschool children include preparing them academically for the demands of the elementary school curriculum.

World of creativity

An excerpt – Introducing Art Sessions

With Art as part of the curriculum, the idea is to maximize the child’s creative potential with a little guidance from the facilitator to inspire, and at the same time provide quality supplies to help support the experimental artist in the child. Allowing them to dabble in a wider choice of material and mediums, our art sessions bring out their creative expression and an urge to explore. Art as a form of creative expression requires a ﬂ ow of thoughts, the right surroundings to experience it, and the right material to express the same. The aim of our art sessions is to ensure that all this is in place so that children can have fun with the Art Process and of course prove to be a value addition for their overall development.

Sometimes, we need to be courageous to speak the truth. But how many courageous people are there in this world who speak only the truth?

SWAMI VIVEKANANDA -A SPIRITUAL LEADER One of the most notable personalities of INDIA, Swami Vivekananda was a spiritual leader , philosopher and a social reformer. He was born on 12th January 1863 in Kolkata. In 1893, he attended the World Parliament of Religions at Chicago to represent Hinduism. When one reads the writings of Swami Vivekananda who has touched on so many topics of our individual and national life, one is sure to have one’s own preferences. According to Vivekananda, “Education is the Manifestation of the Perfection already in Man.” He says that education is not merely book reading but life- building, man -making, character - making and assimilating of ideas. Knowledge - secular or spiritual, comes from the human mind which is the library of the Universe. E.g.: the falling of an apple gave the suggestion to Newton and he studied his own mind and discovered a new link between the two which we call the LAW OF GRAVITATION .The law was not in the apple but in the mind of Newton. Swami Vivekananda says Religion is ‘Realising God’. Man should become divine by Realising the Divine ; idols or temples or books are the only supports of his spiritual child hood and he must continue to progress .Man must see God, feel God and talk of God ,that is, religion. Love and charity is the test of true religion. In 1897, he formed the Ramakrishna Mission to carry out charity work for the spiritual welfare of the people. It was unfortunate for India that he died early at the age of 39 in 1902. Ravi Teja, Class VII

ARISE, AWAKE AND STOP NOT TILL THE GOAL IS REACHED This is the basic message that was conveyed by Swami Vivekananda. Though it is a simple sentence, it conveys a lot of meaning. ARISE : Do not sit idle. Get up. Get into action. Don’t waste your life in sitting idle and doing things that waste years and takes one away from one’s GOALS. Give up laziness and be fi lled with energy to get into action. Always be fi lled with a positive energy that lets you stay focused and be in action. AWAKE: Awakening does not mean just getting up from sleep. Here ‘Awakening’ means the mental realization about one’s state. Awakening comes when one realizes that one is sleeping. Realize one’s current state and realize where one needs to go is the mental awakening that is needed for an individual. GOAL: Having a goal is the fi rst step towards realizing the same. One of the most diffi cult things in life is to become aware of one’s goals. Goal is not a petty desire that one attempts to achieve. A goal should be very clear in one’s mind. Reaching the goal should be the only purpose for which the individual lives. The thought about the goal motivates the individual to do anything. Character of the individual is developed and motivated by the GOAL. STOP NOT TILL THE GOAL IS REACHED: Once the GOAL is clear in mind, work with unwavering concentration and determination towards achieving the goal. Do not fl inch from a path that leads to the ultimate GOAL. Have only one aim day in and day out to reach the goal. Sriyarsha, Class X

Youth is that wonderful time in life when energy is limitless, human creativity is at its best and the ’never say die’ spirit is at its peak. Youth is also an impressionable age wherein we try to model our life to that of a ‘role model’ or ‘icon’. Each young person could begin with himself; prepare himself for the work ahead by ensuring that his personality is well-shaped and rounded. He needs to ensure that his physical, mental, social and psychological faculties are well tuned to the work ahead. The young need direction and what greater focus than that of serving others! One needs to begin with oneself ﬁ rst and then gradually expand this reach concentrically to include more and more deserving persons. This is one of the ways that the success and practicality of our social actions can be demonstrated to the youth of today. Swami Vivekananda once said “Be like the pearl oyster. The oysters come to the surface when that star shines and wait to catch the precious raindrop. When a drop falls into them, quickly the oysters close their shells and dive down to the bottom of the sea, there to patiently develop the drop into the pearl. Youth should be like that.” Keeping this in mind, I would like the youth to build self conﬁ dence, patience, dedication and team work to achieve success in their life. Each young person could begin with himself; prepare himself for the work ahead by ensuring that his personality is well-shaped and rounded. He needs to ensure that his physical, mental, social and psychological faculties are well tuned to the work ahead. Youth is the power of the nation. The world has put its faith in youth and a country keeps its hopes in youth. Anupama, Dept. of Science

Words of Wisdom - Swami Vivekananda

All the wealth of the world cannot help one little Indian village if the people are not taught to help themselves. Our work should be mainly educational, both moral and intellectual. Educate and raise the masses, and thus alone a nation is possible. Education, education, education alone! Travelling through many cities of Europe and observing in them the comforts and education of even the poor people, there was brought to my mind the state of our own poor people, and I used to shed tears. What made the difference? Education was the answer I got. Through education comes faith in one‛s own Self, and through faith in one‛s own Self the inherent Brahman is waking up in them. Education has yet to be in the world, and civilisation — civilisation has begun nowhere yet. Education is not ﬁ lling the mind with a lot of facts. Perfecting the instrument and getting complete mastery of my own mind [is the ideal of education]. Education is the manifestation of the perfection already in man.

There’s something special about people who have confi dence in themselves, their abilities, how they look In the words of Swami Vivekanada, ”You have in you and work. They might not be the cleverest people, or the a thousand times more than is in all the books. Never best looking but they believe in themselves. lose faith in yourself, you can do anything in this universe. Never weaken, all power is yours.” Confi dence comes from within you.

How to build Self-Conﬁ dence!!!!

It is the Self alone that predominates and not matter.” - Swami Vivekanananda. Though the potential strength is hidden within us, we are not able to utilise it. Right attitude, positive thinking, and fi rm faith alone can help us to manifest this hidden strength within. Great convictions are the mothers of great deeds.” The very fi rst step in climbing the ladder of self-confi dence is fi rm conviction about one’s own ability. Great things happen not out of magic or miracles but out of systematic preparation. Many have achieved success only through the power of perfect communication. There are people who can be compared with a huge reservoir of knowledge and information, but not always effective and inspiring due to lack of the communicative ability . Commitment and confi dence always go together. The moment we forget our commitment to a particular cause, we lose faith in ourselves and try to justify our weaknesses. Sometimes even the so-called learned scholars lose confi dence when they fail to discriminate between the real and the unreal, the right and the wrong, vice and virtue due to lack of discrimination. A clear-cut goal and a one-pointed concentration alone help us manifest tremendous confi dence. We want to do many things simultaneously. Without singular devotion to the ideal, no great things can be achieved. Concentration gave Narendranath knowledge, knowledge gave him confi dence fi nally leading to success and made him the world conqueror Swami Vivekanananda. “Promise yourself that you would concentrate and work hard to gain knowledge which will strengthen your self-confi dence to lead a successful life.” A. Shyamala - Dept. of Math

When I was 4 years old, I was playing with my friends in my house. I was pasting pictures in a book with Fevikwick. I just pressed the bottle to get the gum out so that I could paste the pictures. Suddenly a drop of Fevikwick fell into my eye. It started burning. Everybody got panicked as I was unable to open my eye because my eye lashes got stuck. My mother immediately washed the eye and asked me to open my eyes slowly but I could not. Everybody thought that my eye got damaged severely. Then after I fell asleep , my mother examined my eyes carefully and found that my eyelashes had got stuck. She cut my eyelashes, opened my eye and was relieved to ﬁ nd that Fevikwick had not fallen into my eye When I woke up the next morning, I was surprised as I opened my eyes, which had luckily not gone through any damage. I learnt a lesson not to handle dangerous things without the guidance of the elders. Mansi, Class IV

The day I came to know that I was to wear spectacles, I felt very sad. Nobody else in my classroom felt bad hearing about them. That is when my father said I should spare a thought for people who lose their eyesight and do something for them. We decided to donate some amount to the Sankara Eye Foundation to conduct the cataract operation for a person and we did so. On my birthday, I got a message from the Foundation with the photograph of the person for whom the surgery was done. This was the most special birthday gift I received. My parents have now decided to donate every year on my birthday. Our tomorrow’s promise is to help people when they are in need. Abhay Bharath, Class I

We believe that such exposure to real life environment through excursions and fi eld trips adds to holistic and comprehensive learning. In pursuance of the methodology of learning by doing, the children are exposed to camping and coping with life skills, thus making them self-suffi cient and adventurous. School trips are carefully chosen keeping in mind the age of the students and the places of worth. These are appropriately woven into the school curriculum, thereby combining learning by exploring. Classes V to VIII (Boys & Girls), classes IX & X Girls visited Bangalore, Mysore and Coorg and experienced the scenic beauty and appreciated their culture.

Once a basic understanding of gender was established among the Sensitization‛ audience, the speaker adopted an active participatory approach involving participants in dynamic exercises and brainstorming sessions. The videos shown during the session beautifully illustrated how boys and girls are unknowingly conditioned from a very young age that makes them pick up and internalize gender roles. The Social Concept of Gender was discussed in detail, which relates to both males and females and not just women with plenty of examples. Participants learned through various examples how the social concept of gender furthers the erroneous positioning of women, as opposed to men, into specifi c realms that are claimed to be suitable for their respective natures. This in turn assigns automatic roles and imposes certain expectations on both sexes based on inadequate social beliefs. Participants were led through various debates that revealed how the passive distinction between men and women based on gendered notions has oftentimes resulted in increased levels of poverty, poor economic performance, high incidents of HIV/ AIDS, and ineffi cient systems of management and governance.

A “Gender Sensitization” workshop was organized for the students of Class X on the 11th and 12th of November 2013. The workshop was conducted by “Asmita Resource Centre for Women”, an NGO that has actively been involved in campaigning for a gender free society for the past 17 years. The school counsellor Ms. Aarti, emphasized upon the need for gender sensitivity among youth for a better and safer society. She also said that sensitization towards gender should start from an early age. The workshop aimed at raising awareness on gender issues and boys and girls to shed off prejudices to be better human beings in the future. The half-a-day workshop was led by Ms.Srinidhi, a gender specialist who had prepared the training material in a way that engaged the audience with the speciﬁ cities of gender issues. The

The workshop also underlined the importance of gender equality as a means to achieve and sustain democratic governance. The need to develop a society free of violence through gender sensitization was highlighted throughout the workshop. The speaker also mentioned that it is absolutely necessary for parents to challenge gender stereotypes, but unless the rest of the world joins in, children are going to be faced with gender stereotyping which is likely to affect both men and women and in turn hinder growth and progress. The workshop successfully managed to trigger key gender issues that had been imperceptible to many participants. Educational and training material was offered to participants towards the end of the event to enable them to use them for future reference.

He learns to present ideas in a clear and effective manner, and in a way which wins others to his way of thinking. He learns to think under pressure and think on his feet and to make decisions quickly and accurately. The students were selected after undergoing a screening process.

A common language would be a great desideratum, but the same criticism applies to it, the destruction of the vitality of the various existing ones . . .
