24 Karat Magic In The Air


After the scorching heat of October, we have realized to appreciate and welcome the change in weather. As the festive season is approaching, one can feel the wave of energy and enthusiasm everywhere. Houses are getting cleaned, streets are lit, hawkers and shopkeepers are geared up with colourful rangolis, lanterns, clothes and lots of stuff. Online shopping sites are coming up with new fashion statements and a range of offers. Aroma of diverse food items has filled the air.Children are relieved from their hectic schedules and parents have got a breathing space. People of all age groups are enjoying chatting over the topics of preparation of the festive season.

What makes this time so special?Is it because of food items or lights or new clothes or holidays? None of these … there is no novelty in any of the reasons as it’s a part of our routine lifestyle throughout the year. I guess it is the feeling that everyone looks forward to! The feeling of being lively and enjoying the festive vibes in the air. The best part is every person is involved in some or the other task. The feeling of being involved is essential for our smooth ongoing routine. It keeps us tied to someone and one can sense the belongingness.This season also marks get-togethers, fun and laughter, moments to cherish; may it be with family, relatives or friends. Such gatherings help us to move out of our monotonous routines and spend time with our near and dear ones. The current trend of capturing moments in pictures and selfies makes it all the more memorable. There is one more reason for many to get excited and that is planning for holidays. Such trips help to enhance the bonding and strengthen their faith in each other.Some people take this outing as an opening to strike a chord with nature.

Overall it is the time to be YOU! The masks that we wear at different points, come out during this time. You enjoy being with your own likes and dislikes, strengths and challenges and start feeling good about yourself.Being active and enthusiastic is the outcome of our positive feelings and the right mindset. So, without analysing too much, grab this opportunity to find your inner self! Engage yourself into the preparation of the festive season and feel the ‘24 Karat Magic’ in the air!

Wishing you all a very Happy Diwali and compliments of the upcoming season!!

Adieu 2018

It seems like yesterday we welcomed the New Year 2018 and today we are entering its last month! Days have not just passed but flown with time. It’s now time to cherish memories of the year gone by, review our own thoughts and correct our mistakes. 2018 has given some of the best memories like witnessing the Royal Wedding (though on media) with full excitement, construction of the huge Statue of Unity, the launch of Echo plus device just like Alexa to work in smart homes and many more advancements. Technology has simply broken its boundaries and is ready to take a leap. Awareness about health and fitness in people has increased and a positive shift is seen in food habits and regular exercise.  At the same time, environmental problems are escalating. Deforestation is at its peak, breathing air has become equivalent to smoking number of cigarettes and temperature is on the rise day by day, one sixth of the world is facing drinking water scarcity. Extreme climatic conditions

Take That Pause…

The Human race is currently facing a strange situation of being locked down due to the COVID-19 crisis. A virus measuring an insignificant size has brought the whole world to a standstill. While marching towards the 21st century with the globe at his fingertips, man has never imagined this vulnerability. Maybe, this is the way of nature to remind him the purpose of life and teach him the right way of living it!! We Mumbaikars are so used to planning our day to the minute that the race against time has become our daily ritual. Our routines are such that there are no time gaps and all is set to the tee not giving us any opportunity to think of any spare time. Malls, theatres, restaurants, transport, etc. are easily available for our entertainment and luxury. We like to make our holidays or even the smallest weekends special by being away from home. We always complain that we don’t get enough time with our family as we are busy in our work schedules, tours, conferences and so on.

Two Decades at DSRB…

This academic year has been special for us as we are completing thirty years of Bombay Cambridge Gurukul and twenty years of our school! Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan Vidyalaya, Borivali has grown into an international school as Dr. S. Radhakrishnan International School, Borivali. In twenty years we have made our mark from the local map to the global map. Sixteen batches of students have passed SSC and our first batch of IGCSE students is getting ready! What makes each school special? I believe it’s the school’sculture that makes each school unique! Over these twenty years, we are learning to learn new ideas and skills every day. Few years back, there was a different set of problems and solutions, but we have labelled those old sets as ‘Obsolete’ and are now ready to evolve with new systems, procedures and solutions every day. Parent profile has changed to a great extent from joint family culture to nuclear families with working and ambitious parents - naturally more demanding
