The school's 50th birthday

Happy birthday to the school. I was privileged to have attended the celebration today. Many of the alumuni had shared their memories and what the school means to them, so thought of adding my contributions as well. I vivdly remember my interview for admission at the school. The moment I was with all the other students i decided that from that moment I'm going to change my life. There was Bina akka and Vaishnavi akka. They had asked us to draw a school we were to begin. Like if we were to start a school how would it look what would it have ect ...
I was wasn't able to draw ..as I couldn't express myself through drawing much. So I went up to akka and gave her a blank paper, and asked her if I could write instead of drawing as I felt I can't express myself through drawing much. She urged me to draw but i insisted so she gave in to writing. After a while all the others had done their drawings...all so magnificent and I gave my paper with writings here and there. Akka asked me a few questions and then said I could go. And I was on waiting list and got in the next year, as school admits on vacancy basis for classes other than 11th, 5th and 1st I think. 
I studied at school only for 3 years from 6th to 8th grade, but I assure it was those three year that changed my perspective of life. The school gave me self-confidence, the maturity to accept myself and take responsibility on my decisions, my best friends and my fav teachers. 
Now out in this competitive world , I see the meaning behind the value they rooted in us from respect ,the helping tendency to giving us the space to think and voice our opinions. 
Circle times, games and singing togather are the things I loved he most about school, and the class teachers period when we were allowed to play. During classes I would mainly be at two places, games ground or the library! Assemblies were a huge part of learning new things. We all did the Buddha play when we were leaving the old campus, that was one of a kind of production. Otherwise the other class plays for English and Hindi, I feel the main objective was to put yourself out of that comfort space and find your abilities. Not to miss the weaving classes the field trips,the night stay at the old campus, nature walks and Jayshree akka's English classes. The amounts of memories I hold are uncountable owing to the person I've become. The unique assignments, the freedom with discipline and the speech with respect, I'm grateful to The school for being instumental in finding myself.

it's really happening

When it all happens too fast  When you realise sitting around isn't an option anymore  When you feel the anxiety building  When your heart starts beating faster When your mind races imagining the impossible When your surroundings are quiet and dark but your gut pushes you to get out  When all that was once a routine slowly starts to end  When all the mistakes replay in your mind  When all your dreams aren't only what you see in sleep but the fuel to make everyday brighter Maybe that's when life's happening  Pulling you to make your decisions and draw your plan  Urging you to succeed in such a phenomenal way that even you had never imagined  Just random feelings and thoughts  - BHARATHI SENTHILKUMAR

WAYS OF THE MIND :D

  A churning storm,   a hidden rage,   But on my face, a practiced page.   No messy feelings, just cool clicks, A clockwork heart, with hidden tricks. The ways of the mind. What happens when you are constantly questioning things you cant change. Maybe that's the turbulence of the mind. The pilot who trains to fly through the turbulence is maybe the one who becomes successful. -Bharathi Senthilkumar

Survival vs. Success

It's a common misconception that survival and success are synonymous. While surviving challenges is undoubtedly a significant achievement, it doesn't necessarily equate to a fulfilling life. This post attempts to give perspective into the nuances of survival and success, exploring how they intersect and diverge. Historically, survival was the primary goal of human existence. Hunters and gatherers faced daily threats from predators and environmental factors. Their ability to adapt and overcome these challenges was paramount. Today, while our immediate threats have evolved, the fundamental need for survival persists. However, success is more than just staying alive. It involves achieving a sense of fulfillment, purpose, and well-being. This can be achieved through personal growth, career advancement, meaningful relationships, or contributions to society. Innovation has been a double-edged sword. It's increased our odds of survival, but it's also created new complexities. ...
