We won 2nd position in Skit and overall 1st position for Springdales School, Dhaula Kuan in Goenkan Literazzi 2022-23 organized by G D Goenka Public School, Sarita Vihar in October 2022. 

I played Rohit's (R) character in the skit script below...

M - (Annoyingly) Gosh, busy playing games again. I had warned you not to misuse phone. But no. (Rohit pays no attention) Rohit I’m talking to you. (Shakes him …. takes away phone)

R – Ma please … let me complete my project.

M – On phone? O really! Who are you trying to befool? Alright chuck away all those books, (she starts collecting books in Rohit’s room) forget about academics; forget about being doctor, engineer, CA and game away your time on this damn phone.

R – Ma please hold on. Have you read about NEP 2020? M – Now what is that?

R – Relax Mom, with NEP 2020 …. yah I’ll elaborate later …. Education is going to be fun and worthwhile!! More focus on skill development, skill labs, field trips, hands on training … a-n-d … future ready kids! Fantastic. You know many of my school mates have already started learning carpentry, pottery, and gardening!

M – (Not able to understand) So now you will attend school to become carpenters, electricians, gardeners and potters! I can’t believe this!

R – Ma you are getting it wrong. Academic and vocational streams will be integrated such that we have multiple career opportunities later.

M – But you said that you are doing some project on phone. R – Yes, because I have opted for coding.

M – Coding? Now what is that?

R – Ma, this is 21st century; The era of technology. Through coding I can develop apps, games, build websites or work in Robotics and Artificial Intelligence. (Excitedly) Imagine, I can set my own goals and such new heights, like Elon Musk! Isn’t that exciting!

M – It does sound exciting, Rohit

R – So, are you still annoyed that your son is busy on the phone

M – Oh no my sunny boy. Here it is (gives phone to Rohit and Hugs him)

R – Thanks for understanding mom. Now wish me luck for tomorrow's project. And yes, there is homework for you today. No chit chatting on WhatsApp or FB. Surf net and learn more about Reimagining Vocational Education (they both smile)

M – Yes, my budding Elon Musk.

Poem penned by Saion Gupta for 75th Independence Day !!!

This poem is composed by Saion Gupta for 75th Independence Day Celebrations !!!

Copyright Ⓒ Saion Gupta. All Rights Reserved.

We are Indians and we will stay
Strongly united every day
We are free and we will stay
We couldn’t, when the British were here

But here we are today
Celebrating 75th Independence day
We did slavery everyday
But look at us today

January, February, March, April, May
Every month, every week, every single day
We didn’t rest for even a day
Gandhi ji and other heroes shoved the British away

Today we are standing free
With all happiness and glee
We all should be grateful including you and me
That we are Indians and so lucky are we

25, 50 and 75 years
One day we will reach a 100 that’s clear
Now we don’t have anybody’s fear
It’s 75th Independence day, It’s big this year

I love my India and so should you
Orange, white, green and the center is blue
So let’s pick up the flag and wave it freely
It’s our India, our flag, we can do anything we want to merely

I do invite suggestions in the comments section to improve this poem.

National Level Essay Writing Competition 2022 on Japan and India

My Essay for National Level Essay Writing Competition 2022 on Japan and India, organized by Experience Japan for Indian students...

Friendship of India & Japan - Past, Present and Future

The Japan-India Association is today the oldest international friendship body in Japan. Their relations have traditionally been strong. The people of India and Japan have engaged in cultural exchanges, primarily as a result of Buddhism, which spread from India to Japan during ancient times.

The friendship between India and Japan has a long history rooted in spiritual affinity and strong cultural and civilization ties dating back to the visit of Indian monk Bodhisena in 752 AD. The exchange between Japan and India is said to have begun in the 6th century when Buddhism was introduced to Japan. Indian culture, has had a great impact on Japanese culture, and this is the source of the Japanese people’s sense of closeness to India. Post Second World War, India did not attend the San Francisco Conference but decided to conclude a separate peace treaty with Japan in 1952 after its sovereignty was fully restored marking a defining moment in the bilateral relations and setting the tone for the future. India and Japan established diplomatic relations on 28 April 1952. In the first decade after diplomatic ties were established, several high-level exchanges took place, including Japanese Prime Minister Nobusuke Kishi’s visit to India in 1957, Prime Minister Jawaharlal’s return visit to Tokyo the same year, and President Rajendra Prasad’s visit in 1958.

Mr. Mori and Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee decided the establishment of "Global Partnership between Japan and India". When Prime Minister Manmohan Singh visited Japan in December 2006, Japan-India relationship was elevated to the "Global and Strategic Partnership". In the Japan-India Vision Statement issued during Prime Minister Modi’s visit to Japan in October 2018, two leaders reiterated their unwavering commitment to working together towards a “Free and Open Indo-Pacific”. In October 2021, Prime Minister Kishida held a summit telephone talk with Prime Minister Modi. The two leaders concurred to further develop Japan-India relations and work closely toward the realization of a “Free and Open Indo-Pacific”.

The future of the friendship between India and Japan seems bright. The elevation of Indo-Japanese friendship to a “Special Strategic and Global Partnership” is based not only strategic and diplomatic ties. Both sides agreed to take the relationship forward with a “two-plus-two meeting” between the Foreign and Defense ministers of both countries. The India-Japan relationship has the strong and solid backbone of economic partnership too. The bilateral trade between the two has crossed $12 billion. India exported close to $4 billion worth of goods and services to Japan, while it’s imports from that country are close to $8 billion. What is more, Japanese investment in India is set to exceed 5 trillion yen or $40 billion over the next five years.

The strong relationship of Japan and India have been great in the past are great in the present and we hope are great in the future. This essay clearly shows the bonding between India and Japan, and how it will be in the future.

Thank you,
