FROM THE DESK OF THE EDITOR “Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.” - Albert Camus Hola Royalites! The 14th issue of ‘Royal Mirror’ showcases the coming of age of every sapling planted at the anvil of this academic session amidst a kaleidoscope of accomplishments. The autumnal session commenced with myriad ventures besides hosting the prestigious Far East Zone Swimming Competition. We also took immense pride in establishing the awe-inspiring presence of the legendary icon Rupkonwar Jyoti Prasad Agarwala into our midst. We then joined hands to revel in the throes of celebratory fervor in the spate of the festive season. The much awaited NASA Trip was consummated with resounding success and encouraging prospects. Furthermore, the school celebrated Rashtriya Swachata Divas by participating in the cleanliness campaign, ‘Cleanathon’. Last but not the least, our school proudly hosted the first ever inter school RGS Model United Nation where numerous eloquent speakers from different schools displayed their debating finesse to glory. We are sure that such exemplary treasure trove of positive attitude, hard work, sustained efforts and innovative ideas exhibited by our talented peers will surely stir the mind of the readers and take them to the surreal world of unalloyed joy and pleasure.
