the national anthem reverberated uniting the entire school community in a shared spirit of pride and solidarity.

Students from class S3 presented a magnificent ballet, ‘Sanskriti’ which captured the essence of who we are, not just as individuals but as a nation. Sanskriti or culture is the soul of India. It is what binds us together across languages, religions and regions. Yet in a rapidly modernising world, our understanding of freedom and culture is changing, and for many of us in this generation, freedom is often mistaken for convenience. This is perhaps due to a lack of connection with the past, and that is why we must rest, reflect and reconnect.
