10 years after BEL CBSE
An article written for the Silver Jubilee Celebration Memoir of our school
The thought of completing 10 years after graduating out of the school rings back very fond memories. Scores of images were recreated in front of my eyes. Every morning during the morning assembly, news headlines, trivia and the population count for the day were read. I was the school captain then, and opposite to me was the queue for First Std and Second Std students. Even these students have graduated of the school now. This is how fast the time flies.
These are not just images, they are experiences. Each of these experiences has affected us in the next phase of life - work/career. These learnings from school have helped us steer clear of many things. It has taught us some of the most basic skill-sets that a student must have – discipline, obedience, loyalty, punctuality, courage, fearlessness, inquisitiveness and friendliness, only to be shattered in the tough competitive environment outside of school. But in most of us, it surfaces at the right time to solve our challenges.
How do we do sound judgement? This ability is achieved when we do mistakes. At school, they taught us to learn from these mistakes. The cumulative effect of these mistakes has enabled us to make sound judgement now.
This school has seen many siblings studying together, likewise in our batch too. My brother, G S Naqvi, was also a student of this institution. Unlike me, he was here for all the 10 years of his schooling. The friends and company he developed here are the ones, I hope, will cherish for life. He too, like his older sibling, was the school captain and shares the similar characteristics. But in some ways, he was a better leader. He was really an all-rounder. He was equally good in education, sports, painting, dance and
drama. The values of friendship, discipline, patience was all learnt and developed in school. He was always, at least, a step ahead of his brother.
I wish that the school continues to stay as a blessing for generations to come and the new teachers bear the same feelings towards the students and the ones that taught us. Let the school reach great heights and accomplish laurels in the world.
