HAPPY NEW YEAR !!! 2020 On 2nd of January, our school celebrated both Christmas and New year together. It meant double fun for us. This fun became more vibrant as being Thursday, so the celebrations started with few soulful bhajans in the glory of our Beloved Swami and that was followed by Harathi. The students decorated the Christmas Tree and the Principal wished the teachers and students Merry Christmas and extended her wishes for the New Year. In her New Year message, she included an anecdote about how to learn to give rather than to take.

Further, the Vice-Principal also conveyed Merry Christmas and warm New Year wishes to all the teachers and the students. Class IX girls presented an informative approach of analyzing English alphabet. That was just splendid work by them. Next, these girls sang Christmas Carols. Again, they nailed it! At the end of the program, New Year gifts were given to the teachers and the students through „Lucky Dip‟. Everyone enjoyed the celebrations very much. Indeed, both the events were memorable. CULTURAL WEEK

The colourful Cultural Week was held after Sankranthi Holidays to enhance the hidden talents and confidence in the students. As a part of Cultural Week Mono-action and Group Singing competitions were organized for classes VI to IX on 17th January and III to V classes on 20th January 2020. All the participants were well dressed and prepared as per their role. The students enacted as Jhansi Laxmi Bai, Rudramma , Alluri Sitaramaraju, Peasant, etc and conveyed valuable messages. Indeed the Cultural Week was a unique one and the students participated in an exceptional way.

The 71st Republic Day was celebrated in the School Campus with great nationalistic spirit. The event was anchored by Sathya House Teacher Mrs. Deepa in a commendable way. The Principal, Vice Principal and one of the senior teachers Mrs. Jayashree hoisted our National Flag. This was followed by the spectacular March Past by students of Classes VI to X. Miss A. Srimedha of II std gave a wonderful speech stating the importance of Republic Day. Mrs. Jayashree also came out with a thought provoking speech stressing on the idea that every Citizen should serve our Motherland. Patriotic songs sung in Kannada and Telugu was the highlight of the program. The program concluded with Harathi to Swami. “QUOTABLE QUOTES “

.God places the heaviest burden on those who can carry its weight. . Be the change you want to see in this world. . Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into a friend. . God puts something good and something lovable in every person he creates. . It is greed to do all the talking but, not to want to listen at all. . Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies. . Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart. . Successful leaders have the courage to take action while others hesitate. . The mind is not a vessel to be filled but a fire to be kindled. . Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony. DO NOT JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER

JUDGE OTHERS BY THEIR CHARACTER AND INNER QUALITIES MORE, RATHER THAN OUTWARD APPEARANCES.

A lady and her husband dressed in ordinary clothes stepped off the train in Boston and walked timidly without an appointment into the Harvard University President‟s outer office. The secretary could tell in a moment that such country people had no business at Harvard University. “We want to see the President,” the man said softly. “He will be busy all day,” the secretary snapped. “We will wait,” the lady replied. For hours, secretary ignored them, hoping that the couple would finally be discouraged and leave. They did not and secretary grew frustrated and finally decided to disturb the President.“May be if you see them for a few minutes, they will leave,” she said to him. He sighed in exasperation and nodded. The President, stern faced and with dignity, strutted towards the couple. The lady told him, “We had a son who attended this University. But about a year ago he was accidently killed. My husband and I would like to erect a memorial to him, somewhere in the campus.” The President was not touched…..he was shocked. “Madam,” he said gruffly,” we can‟t put a statue for every person who attended this University and died. If we did , this place would look like a cemetery. “Oh no!” the lady said . He glanced at her their clothing and explained, “A building costs seven and a half million dollars at this University.” For a moment the lady was silent. The lady then said to her husband, “Is that all it costs to start a University? Why don‟t we start our own?” Her husband nodded. The President‟s face turned white and the couple got up and went to California where they established their own, Stanford University, a memorial to a son. -V. Sai Sripad (VIII-B) George Crum: Inventor of Potato Chips The potato chip was invented in 1853 by George Crum. Crum was an American Chef at the Moon Lake Lodge resort in Saratoga Springs, New York, USA. French fries were popular at the restaurant and one day a diner Complained that the fries were too thick. Although, Crum made a thinner batch, the customer was still unsatisfied. Crum finally made fries that were too thin to eat with a fork, hoping to annoy the extremely fussy customer. The customer, surprisingly enough, was happy – and potato chips were invented!!! -P.

Ujwala, VII B Goats have rectangular pupils in their eyes. The smallest country in the world takes up 2 square miles, it is the Vatican City. “Dreamt” is the only English word that ends in the letters “mt”. There is a tree called the Idiot Fruit Tree, it grows in Australia‟s Daintree rainforest. Cucumbers are actually a fruit and not a vegetable. They are a part of the melon family. Electronic computers were developed around the 1940s and were the size of a large room. -CH. Sai Sathvik, VI A

GOLDEN WORDS OF BHAGAWAN FOR STUDENTS “Each religion forgets that God is all forms and all names, all attributes and all assertions. The religion of humanity is the sum and substance of all these partial faiths; for there is only one religion and that is the religion of Love.” JAI SAIRAM
