Happy Father's Day - Arav Agarwal



Fathers are fabulous and our real superheroes.
Thanks to our fathers for making our life beautiful and happy.

Fathers are fabulous; 
They guide us and take care of us.

They are our real superheroes; 
Supporting us to achieve what we want to. 

They teach us what is right and wrong; 
And help us to become strong. 

Thank you for all the hard work you do; 
To make our dreams come true!

The Art of Storytelling - Rishona Chopra


Storytelling ain't something everybody can do,
You need some content and rhythm too!
A little music with some effects,
Everything should be set and perfectly correct.
Just add some feelings,
The story could be lovely, so it works like healing!
Just add some voice modulation and thought,
So it stays in people's minds as if it was taught.
The story could have a moral,
Or a quarrel.
All you need to do is hook the audience,
By being a little more patient!
Like in a movie theatre where people feel the water splash,
Hook them with your words, so they clap with a clash.
Make people feel like they were in the story
Make them feel all happy with glory.
The fundamental trick is just to feel the theme,
And the story will come out like a beautiful dream!
Along with storytelling, we need to be good listeners too,
We need to understand the story and try our best to reflect too.
If you know how to tell a story,
Make one yourself and tell me the story quickly!

It's because of you - Rishona Chopra

It is because of you - that is what we say. We blame people for our troubles and failures, and believe me, even you do. If you get a cold, you blame another person in the family who also had a cold. You don't blame yourself for having a weak immune system! If you couldn't go somewhere, then you blame the weather. When you spill water on your t-shirt, you blame the person who bumped into you.

When we blame others, we are avoiding some truth about ourselves. We can blame other planets for our fault; we blame nature, people, and even our parents! It's always easy to blame but challenging to find and correct your faults. This also connects with one of Dr Sibal's values - Making mistakes, and accepting flaws.
