“Crea vity is contagious ,
pass it on.”
EDITORIAL
Dear Readers, They say that a publica on must encapsulate the true essence of the ins tu on it represents, the spirit of the people who create it and the values they stand for. So, when we started to contemplate the actual ethos of the N&V, we realized that the real ques on was, “ What is Welham to us?” ‐Albert Einstein
While there are no concrete answers to the above ques on, we did realize that Welham is much more than just another name, just another ins tu on. To us, it is a home away from home and home is where one has the freedom to be oneself Pg 2
without having to put on any added facades. Therefore, it would be unfair on our part to create a magazine that is either intellectual or frivolous in its en rety. We must seek to strike the same balance in Pg 3
our publica on which Welham strives to strike within us. Welhamites are not intellectuals but cri cal thinkers; not frivolous but humorous, not perfect but Pg 4
humans. Pg 6
In this issue, we bid farewell to one of the strongest pillars of our school‐ Mrs. Jyotsna Brar and welcome Mrs. Padmini Sambasivam who will be stepping Pg 7 into Mrs.Brar’s shoes. We have also included our usual features like Junior Jamboree, Aunt Agatha, Birdbrains and The Bulle n. CONTENTS

ADIEUMRS.BRAR
This year, we bid farewell to Mrs. Brar who has been one of the driving forces behind Welham. As she hands over the reins to Mrs Padmini Sambasivam a er sixteen years of faithful and relentless service, we are le with a strange feeling in the pit of our stomachs owing to the void that will be created by her absence, combined with the excitement of Mrs. Sambasivam’s arrival. The News And Views honours Mrs. Brar’s commitment to the School by presen ng an excerpt from her very first Founders’ Day Speech delivered soon a er she took over as the Principal of the School. Founders’ Day, 2000: “If schooling is merely an exercise in collec ng and mugging up informa on, then one can get all the
schooling one needs locked up in a room with a computer, downloading and memorizing the informa on needed to get into
college. But schooling has to be more than mere informa on gathering. A school is the place where a tudes are formed, and
work habits are formed. If these are correct, they will not only get the students into ins tu ons of further learning, but will decide
whether they will make a mark in their future lives.”
“There was a me when educa on was considered a simple, peaceful ac vity ‐ a serene affair. In modern mes nothing is more
complicated than the business of educa on. The foremost stress is on the quality and excellence and this imposes its own
challenge ‐ how to achieve quality in academic and co‐academic spheres, how to maximize the development of each individual student so that each may experience self‐actualiza on; how to
provide the students the vision, the knowledge and the compe‐
tence to cope with social reali es. At the same me to give the
students a set ethical values for human rights and concern for the
environment. Today’s Welhamite must make her place in society
tomorrow with dignity and with pride.
She must be a person who can make informed decisions and the
correct choices in a complex world.”
We wish Mrs Brar the very best for her years ahead. She will be dearly missed but as the saying goes, “You can take the girl out of Welham, but you can’t take Welham out of the girl.” ALongWaytoGo
India is the “one eyed man in the land of blind” says Raghuram Rajan . India’s economy has been developing swi ly in the recent mes and this has led to India to becoming one of the fastest growing economies of the world. India is considered to be the “bright spot” in a world gripped by anxie es. Despite the severe consequences of price fluctua ons, what India needs is to op mize the momentum of the macro‐stable situa on to sa sfy the aspira ons of the “janta”. What proves to be an advantage is not the vastness of the expanse but the vastness of the willing, youthful, produc ve and intellectual working force. As “things are falling into place” under the present NDA government, India s ll has a lot of structural developments to look forward to. Even if India is not immune to every shock, the fact that it is immune to a fair number of shocks makes her prospects of progress higher. However, dancing in her glory is not an op on for India as every other country running this rat race is compe ng –going the whole hog to a ain a higher GDP while securing for the ci zens sustainable growth. To conclude, Arun Jaitley’s words effec vely sum up the present scenario in a nutshell; “India is be er than many, ….but has a long way to go.” ‐Navya Sureka B/25 Class 12 WelhamGirls’School2 NewsandViews2016AprilIssue
INTERVIEW
Mrs Padmini Sambasivam, our new Principal is a dynamic lady with a passion for educa ng bright young minds and is, in her own words, “ an eternal op mist”. The N&V had an opportunity to conduct an interview with her on 3 April, 2016 and here is what we discovered – N&V: Have you ever experienced failure? If you have, what has it taught you? PS: Of course, I have experienced failure! In class 10, I did extremely well in my exams and that made me slightly overconfident. So, in class 12, while I did well, I did not do well enough to secure a seat in a medical college. I wanted to touch lives and at that me I thought I could only do so by being a doctor. Now, I have been in the field of educa on for 20 years and have realized that you can touch lives through anything if you really want to. N&V: As we all know, you have a very diverse range of interests. How do you manage to maintain a healthy balance? And has having numerous interests and being good at all of them ever prevented you from focusing and excelling in one? PS: Whoever said that being a ‘Jack of all trades’ makes one unhappy? If I had to make a choice, I’d rather not be a genius because even if you push yourself to be extremely focused in one field, there are no guarantees that you are bound to be successful in that. For me, life is not about sacrificing opportuni es but about seizing them and not having to prove yourself to anybody. N&V: For most academic ins tu ons, the ‘pursuit of excellence’ is of supreme importance. Is there anything for you that supersedes this in an ins tu on? PS: I think that the real ques on is ‘What is excellence?’ Is it the understanding of concepts and being able to apply them in real life or is it securing brilliant grades? In my view, true excellence is a ained when every individual can sit alone and be in harmony with oneself. Other than this, I think that a student’s strength of character and ability to adapt with changing mes is of supreme importance. N&V: Do you see any specific problems that arise in a single sex school? If you do, how do you think we could prevent them ? PS: The outside world has an environment that calls for a natural coexistence between males and females and I do not think that separa ng the two genders makes anything be er. You are definitely missing out on an amazing opportunity to grow with boys and learn so much about life from them. The differences that spring up when one is studying in a single sex school can only be overcome by changing one’s perspec ve and by not constantly viewing the other sex as a threat or compe on. N&V: Lastly, what is your take on Welhamites? PS: Well, Welhamites are extremely smart kids. This is just my first impression, but they seem to be very warm, lovable and earthy. I think they stand out because of their value systems, which are so in place. WelhamGirls’School3 NewsandViews2016AprilIssue
INDIVIDUALCOUNSELLING
From 4 to 6 April, 2016 the students of Classes 11 and 12 a ended the career counseling sessions conducted by Mrs. Amrita Das and her team of counselors. This was followed by sessions of individual career counseling for the students. This workshop informed them about the wide range of desired colleges suitable for them. The students were apprised of a variety of careers available to them and they iden fied the prospec ve careers that each of them could pursue. LAWFULCAREERS
On 8 and 9 April,2016, Ms. Malvika Rajko a was invited to the school for a discussion on careers related to law and Crime & Punishment. A famous Supreme Court Counsel and an ex‐Welhamite herself, Mrs. Rajko a is an influen al lady running her own law firm. She urged the students to have the courage to stand alone and do what they think is right. To meet and hear such a focused and dedicated lady was a great experience for students and teachers alike. IAYP
The IAYP programme endeavours to ins ll in the students a strong sense of responsibility and leadership. The Class 10 students visited the Pinehill Eco‐Camp and Chopta‐Tungnath as a part of the IAYP programme, this year for five days. At the Eco‐Camp, the students first met the Camp‐Coordinator and were then divided into teams. They scaled Panchmundya, the tallest hill in the region. At Chopta‐Tungnath, the students trekked everyday. Their daily schedule consisted of tasks like cooking food, collec ng firewood and washing. Both trips provided a unique experience and the girls learnt the value of the facili es that they take for granted in the urban environment. WelhamGirls’School4 NewsandViews2016AprilIssue

THELASTTREE
Hogwarts school of wizardry is where Harry goes; Always up to mysteries and surrounded by foes. Ron Weasely and Hermione Granger are his best friends Really special to wizards and witches all around England, Young was he when his parents died. I am the last tree on this planet which once smiled on the green and blue surface of the earth. I had many companions and our green leaves moved in harmony when the wind howled; crea ng an extraordinary tune. Now, the earth stands bare with brown patches as if someone has splashed mud on its beau ful face. Many birds o en sat on my branches, chirping, to give me company. Squirrels and ants were my li le friends who I loved dearly. There was someone called Man who disliked us and cursed us. He destroyed everything. Phoenix was the saviour who stood by his side. First, he cut down some of us just for his need; but then, overcome by greed, he cut down many more and planted none. When I saw this, I could foretell the calamity which was imminent. I had to bear the pain of seeing everyone around me die as I stood in isola on. Humans could not survive either because they were heavily Old‐fashioned gold rimmed glasses he wore, Trouble always followed him wherever he would go. The seeker of Gryffindor in Quidditch Expelliarmus was the spell that did the magic; Rowling was the one who created the boy on the brooms ck! ‐Anushka Khetawat B/445 Class 7 dependent on us. Some mes, I wish I hadn’t lived so long to see this destruc on because now the earth, like the other planets, dances in the sorrow of its demoli on. These last few moments of my life will end in terrible pain; not the pain of my death but that of the memories of my friends and family being tortured and hacked to death. I wish that Man would have thought twice before cu ng down all of us so unscrupulously. Had humans been more careful, this day would never have come. ‐Anoushka Buddhia H/99 Class 7 WelhamGirls’School6 NewsandViews2016AprilIssue
FIRE
Burning, smouldering, raging against the world‐ consuming everything in its path. Fire, blazing in hues of ruby reds, angry vermilions, deep oranges, bright yellows, pure whites and clear azures. Rising and growing as it ravages everything it touches, feeding its fury, heat and fervour. Its heart burns the brightest, figh ng for control ll the very end. Figh ng for life ll the very end. But is this the end? Is it not the beginning of a new life, born out of the scalding inferno? New life, encouraged and hastened by those le behind. So is fire a horrific beast, or is it really a blessing in disguise, burning out all the iniquity, giving rise to another wholesome and untainted life? ‐Diya Kalsi W/427 Class 10 SocialHangover
THEDIFFERENCE
The city lights are blinding. There is nothing I can see without squin ng. The colours are too bright for my taste, the various smells make me nauseated and these concrete structures are too tall to look at without me raising my head. This place is strange, too striking in its features and flashy in every facet. The crowds are large and in mida ng, the people all bulky and big. Where have I come? This is not where I belong. Where am I supposed to be? I was promised a lot, but it seems like these people are used to broken promises and sha ered hopes. Where are the riches? The luxuries? All I can see is a crowd‐ hungry, selfish and jealous in its ways. I cannot see the harmony, the peace; I cannot feel the unity, the tranquility. Everybody is running a different marathon, out on a diiferent quest. They want to win this race, but the day they do, they will see there was no race at all. ‐Madhul Sharma B/ 315 Class 10 WANDERLUST “ Not all those who wander are lost.”‐ J.R.R.Tolkien Who needs blue wallpaper and marshalled memorabilia, when I have tasted the indigo firmament, and felt the stars in my hair? The delicious smell of homemade pie does not linger for long‐ I carry the scent of Irish fields and Mediterranean waters with me. Familiarity and conven onal days dim under the weight of brilliant adventure and highways leading nowhere. This passion, this taste for the feel of cked off places, and marked atlases shall leave me in vagrancy and in solitude all my life. How can I con nue on this destruc ve and lonely, yet en cing trail? Is it a sin, to be a wanderer; to long for the bliss of uncertainty and the safety of strangers? Maybe it is an illusion, slavery of the mind disguised as a luxury, as a gi . It is wrecking my life, and yet I cannot cajole my heart into being a conformist. How am I to stray from these streets, this boulevard that I have walked forever? How am I to drive away this temptress, this wanderlust? Amidst the debris of my broken life, I have found purpose. ‐Tanisha Tekriwal W/357 WelhamGirls’School7 NewsandViews2016AprilIssue

CARTOONISCOPE
Wouldn’t you choose Mickey Mouse over Arnab Goswami? Wouldn’t you yearn for that bit of imagina on over mundane formali es? Cartoons are fond memories of our childhood. But as we progress towards adulthood, we leave behind our childish whims of visi ng Disneyland. But fic on is an integral part of our life. We cannot survive without it. For all you know, God might be a figment of our imagina on. Maybe humans just needed something to believe in to give them hope that everything will be all rosy one day and that’s why they made up God. And that is exactly how cartoons work. These caricatured images reflect the vast expanse of human imagina on. They also seem to have a las ng effect on people’s minds. If you had an adver sement in which there was a cartoon and another adver sement in which starred actors, which one would you remember? The one with the cartoon would be the obvious answer. Most tales that have morals a ached to them are fic onal. Yes, they might be based on human behavioural pa erns. But we always seem to learn more from Aesop’s fables than we do from real life experiences. While our parents might feel that cartoons hamper brain development, they do no harm when watched during intervals. They give flight to our imagina on and also, in some cases, make us be er people. Even corporate houses are now turning to cartoons for promo ng their products. Coloured television was saved because of Walt Disney’s cartoons. So the next me you are red with your hec c schedule, switch on your television and turn to cartoons for solace. ‐Sulagna Tripathi B/464 Class 9 WHAT’SIN

BOOKREVIEW
“..one leweast,one lewwest,One lewoverthecuckoo’snest.”
‘One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest’ is a fic on drama wri en by Ken Kesey in 1962. The story is woven around through the lives of pa ents in a mental asylum. From the point of view of Chief Bromden, a man who pretends to be deaf and dumb, we are told about the horrible condi ons that the pa ents have to live in and the kind of unfair treatment meted out to them by the staff, especially ‘The Big Nurse’. The monotony in their lives is brought to an end by the entry of McMurphy, a new pa ent. McMurphy is like a breath of fresh air. He ques ons the rules of the ward, fights with the staff and does all those things which the others would have never dreamt of doing. He makes the people believe in themselves and realize that it is this belief and confidence that will help them face society, which has rejected them all along. Through his an cs, they realize that there is nothing wrong in being different and while the world outside sees them differently, they too deserve to be a part of it. This story strikes a chord with every person who reads it. While you’re reading it, you feel a medley of emo ons ranging from inspira on to humour; sympathy to anger. However once you’re done, you experience the deeply embedded sa sfac on of having read a good book which will remain in your heart for a very long me. ‐Shaurya Singh W/457 and Vedica Kedia W/568 Class 12 THEPIRANDELLIANPOINT
”Allthatlivesmustdiepassingthroughnaturetoeternity.”
Luigi Pirandello was a far famed Italian drama st who was also the recipient of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1934.He is very well known for his first widely recognized novel ’ The Late Ma a Pacal’ .Two of his most eminent plays are ‘Henry IV’ (1922) and ‘Six Characters in Search of an Author’ (1921). Pirandello himself thought that there were two kinds of writers –historical writers and philosophical writers and goes on to say that he had the misfortune of being among the la er. We are all characters in reality who have been given different roles to play — as a father,mother,sister,brother,grandfather,grandmother,wife,husband etc. As Shakespeare once said, "All the world’s a stage and all men and women merely players.” ‘Six Characters in Search of an Author’ is a play that mirrors life, and for Pirandello life itself is a play. The six characters are seen to enact a great family catastrophe. In the book, the first audience is the six characters, the second audience is the director and his troupe of actors and the third audience is the reader of this masterpiece. When one reads this book , one sees the actors as just actors and the characters as just characters, but for a person who is si ng there watching this great work of art, the characters are actors playing characters and the ac ng troupe is actors playing characters as well. This book came about when Pirandello found himself in a very lumbering situa on when six characters came his way pleading him to find in them the subject of a magnificent novel. So, Pirandello decided to make these characters, each with a different passion and adventure, live‐not in an ordinary boring book but in a play which will lead these characters to the very doors of our heart. That is the only way these characters manage to live on forever. Actors , authors ,directors , managers, screenwriters ‐ all die but the characters they create never die. This is the ‘Pirandellian’ point of things. ‐Sairaa Bains H/352 Class 9 WelhamGirls’School10 NewsandViews2016AprilIssue

I share your phobia which is probably why I choose to solicit marvellous advice anonymously through the columns of an esteemed publica on rather than giving sermons at Harvard. Now, you have two op ons: the Road Less Taken and the Road Not Taken. The former deals with you overcoming your fear wherein you just develop mannerisms that in midate your already indifferent audience; and the la er involves running away from all public speaking forums never to return. Let me know when you escape (The phobia I mean, of course). Yours truly, Aunt Agatha. Sarah Choudhary: They are sold in the Chinese black market. Maitri: They are used to make a secret robot to catch ‘other’ devices. Shaurya: They are gi ‐wrapped and parceled as peace offerings to Steve Job’s grave.
