EDITORIAL

BUREAU

Is love and compassion a parenthesis in life’s memoir, a foreword for an awaited
debut, an arc to a piece of fiction, an epilogue of a best-seller, or is it the book
itself? The discernment of love and compassion is of radical sensibility where
it is said to have no boundaries but can be confined within one’s home. It
is a judgement that blurs the line between a personification and a metaphor,
camaraderie and acquaintance, materialistic possessions and the living, feelings
and philosophy.

Being an ardent nature lover, you admire sunrises and sunsets and the chirping
of the birds. Observing the transition of the aesthetically pleasing nature, in
general, brings immense pleasure to one’s heart. Long walks, full of silence all
around, help in discovering the inner poet.

As the inner poet blossoms, creativity piles up desks and thus we draw forth
this year’s Swarnima ornamented with literary sakuras from Japan, Haiku.
Traditional Haiku uses sensory awakening words to describe the moment of
time as Matsuo Basho noted it to be, “simply what is happening in this place at
this moment.”

Embarking on this voyage on a new tide for a moment of time we leave our
readers with a fine line of discernment. We express our gratitude to the School
Administration, Mrs Poonam S Rampal (Principal), Mrs Rashmi Soota (Vice-
Principal), Mrs Ruchi Agarwal (HM, Primary Wing), Mr Amresh Chandra (HM,
Special Wing) for their assiduous support in these enervating times. We are
indebted to our school students for their self-rendered contributions to our issue
of irrepressible feelings, love and compassion.

This issue is pioneered collectively by Mrs Alka Singh (HOD-English), Mr
Onkar Singh Dharwal (HOD-Hindi/Sanskrit), Mrs R Venkateswari (Lecturer
English), Mr Titas Das (TGT Art), Mrs Mithu Basu (TGT English), Dr
Archana Kaushik (TGT Hindi), Mrs Geeta Nair (PRT), Mrs Bharati Singh
(PRT), Mrs Shefali Paliwal (Special Educator), and Mrs Suman Puria
(Special Educator).

Dear Readers

It is heartening to see our school grow from pillar to pillar and strength to “Kind hearts are the gardens,
strength. This edition of our school magazine ‘Swarnima’ is not 34 years kind thoughts are the roots,
'old'; but 34 years ‘new’. Every edition comes with a whiff of freshness and Kind words are the flowers
in this one, the newness is because of a special segment on Haiku poems. and kind deeds are the fruits.
When the idea of writing Haiku poems was proposed, all AFGJItes lapped Take care of your garden,
it up zealously: the little ones, the very young, the mentors and even our Fill it with sunshine, kind
gifted veterans were extremely enthusiastic to create Haiku poems – age
and language no bar. The idea of writing Haiku poems infected all and the words and kind deeds”.
outcome is there for you to see and read. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

In our endeavour to impart quality education at AFGJI, the values of love,
compassion and empathy occupy a prominent place in the teaching-learn-
ing process. We strive to make our students compassionate beings so that
they can be of service to the society. Compassion comprises of kindness,
openness and forgiveness; be compassionate towards yourself and towards
others. It is not only about giving to others but also being compassionate
and kind to ourselves. ‘Only when things change inside you, things change
around you'. We need to appreciate who we are as individuals, to recognise
and value our diverse strengths and accept our common humanity.

Compassion should not be perceived as ‘softness’ or ‘not strong enough'.
A compassionate being is more mature, sensible and wiser than others. A
seed falls on land oblivious of its future, warmth makes it grow strong. So
spread love and warmth wherever you are and wherever you go.

My compliments to all the students for adapting themselves to the changing
milieu. God Bless!

Poonam S Rampal

FARE

WELL

PW

Farewell is an occasion where we bid “Goodbye” and express our good wishes
to our near and dear ones at parting. In AFGJI, the outgoing Class V students
of the academic year 2020-21 were given an “out of the ordinary” farewell
by the Class IV students due to the unusual circumstances brought forth by
the COVID-19 pandemic. It was a “virtual” farewell; the first of its kind in the
history of the school. However, the “virtuality” did not dampen the spirits of our
enthusiastic students and the show indeed was of sheer grandeur in all aspects.
The programme included an invocation dance, solo instrumental music, an
Assamese dance, a group song and a poem recitation. Class IV students also
penned down their parting emotions in the form of virtual “Goodbye” cards. The
curtain came down after the motivational addresses by the Principal and the
Head Mistress (Primary Wing).

Dear Students

Today, life as we know it, is full of challenges that all of us are facing together.
It may not be easy for us to remain open and always show love and compas-
sion towards people, while undergoing a huge amount of stress and facing
hardship but expressing love and being compassionate not only helps the
person on the other side but acts as a remedy for our mind in times like this.

This pandemic has brought out people’s true characters and intentions in
multiple situations. Even those people who were not in touch for many years
have come forward and helped each other in times of need. We need to
know that it’s important to keep in mind that we are all human beings, de-
serving love and compassion to get us through times, when we may not feel
that there is any hope left.

Being compassionate does not necessarily mean going out of the way and
showing love and care. Small acts of kindness can go a long way; calling a
friend or a relative you haven’t spoken to for a while, just helping with house-
hold chores or even something as small as keeping a positive attitude and
being aware of how your energy might affect the people around you depicts
your empathetic side.

As we start this life and get used to the new normal, let’s help each other
make it a smooth ride. Ask your classmates if they’re okay. Help your teach-
er grab a glass of water, thank your school staff for their services or maybe
even smile and see them smile back immediately.

Together, let's make the world a happier place full of love with our little acts
of kindness.

Rashmi Soota

This edition of our magazine has Haiku poems written by the teachers and
students, wherein they have juxtaposed the themes of Nature, Empathy,
Love and Compassion. Haiku poems are of ancient Japanese origin dat-
ing back to the 9th century. These poems are renowned for their brevity as
well as the precise punctuation and the syllables needed for the three lines.
They contain 17 syllables (5,7 and 5) to be written in 3 lines. The theme
of Haiku poems is basically ‘Nature’; but they can be written on other
themes also. They are not just poems; they are a way of looking at the phys-
ical world and seeing something deeper like the very nature of existence.

CAT Niyata

Jha, X A

I was coming home from work when I first saw him. The day had come to an end. The setting
sun was casting different kinds of shadows around me. He was crouching in a dark corner of
the dumpster, hissing at the kids who were throwing stones at him. As I got near them, the
children ran away. The cat looked at me. His large golden eyes shone in the dark. He hesitantly
came forward, curled his body around my feet and purred. He was rather an unattractive cat. It
looked like life hadn’t been so fair to him. The ear on the left side of his head was missing. His
white fur had turned a dirty shade of yellow. His right foot had appeared to be badly broken at
one time and had healed at an unnatural angle.

I didn’t want a pet, especially not an ugly one. So, I left him
as he continued to search for food in the dumpster.
Soon, his visits to our apartment became very frequent.
Everyone got to know him. He became our resident
tomcat. But it wasn’t like his visits were welcomed
warmly. Every time someone saw him there was the
same reaction, ”That’s an ugly cat!." That is how his
name came to be ‘Ugly’.

The children were warned not to touch him, adults threw
stones at him, hosed him down or shut the door at his paws
when he wouldn’t leave. But Ugly would never hurt anyone. If
someone would turn the hose at him, he would stand there getting
soaked. If one would throw stones at him he would curl his body
around one’s feet in forgiveness. Whenever he spied on children
he would come running frantically and bump his head against
their legs, begging to be loved.

One day, as I woke up in the morning, I heard loud noises coming from outside. I opened the
door and gasped. There was Ugly, lying in the pool of his own blood. His back legs and lower
back were grossly out of shape, a gaping tear was on the white strip of fur that ran down his
neck. His golden eyes were looking directly at me. It looked like a large animal had attacked him.
It must have been the neighbor’s Huskies. It was apparent that ugly’s sad life was almost at an
end. My heart melted at the pitiable sight.

As I picked him up and carried him to my house, I could hear him wheezing and gasping. I
could feel him struggling. I must be hurting him terribly, I thought. Then I felt a familiar tugging
sensation on my ear. Ugly, in so much pain, suffering and obviously dying was trying to nip at my
ear. I pulled him closer and he bumped my hand with his head and turned his golden eyes on
me. I could hear the distinct sound of purring. That brought tears to my eyes. Even in the greatest
pain, that ugly battle-scarred cat was asking only for a little affection, perhaps some compassion.
At that moment I thought Ugly was the most beautiful, loving creature I had ever seen. Never
once did he try to bite or scratch me, or even tried to get away from me. I remembered how I
had left him alone, starving in winter. But he held no grudges against me. Ugly just looked at me,
completely trusting in me to relieve his pain.

Ugly died in my arms before I could do anything. But I sat on the sofa and held him for a long
time afterwards, thinking about how a deformed little stray could so alter my opinion about what
it means to have true pureness of spirit, to love so totally and truly. Ugly taught me more about
giving and compassion than a thousand books, lectures or talk shows ever could and for that I
will always be thankful.

Warm Greetings My Dear Students

We, the staff miss seeing your happy and smiling faces in school as much
as you miss coming here.

The last year has been tough and challenging for us all. The world seemed
to have turned topsy – turvy. Nothing was normal. Though at times we felt
lost and depressed, we had to be optimistic and strong with a belief, “This
too shall pass.”

Courage and hope are the ways to move ahead. In a quote Michelle Obama
said, “Courage can be contagious and hope can take on a life of its own". It’s
so true. Ordinary people are doing extraordinary work in these unprecedent-
ed times and helping people to come out of difficult circumstances.

Did you ever think you would have classes like this, Online - studying, doing
activities, taking tests, performing tasks digitally? Unimaginable till some
time back, but you little children rose above it all and proved that nothing is
impossible. We are so proud of you. We all have learnt so many new things
and improvised on our skills.

Together we have come so far and will continue doing so with positivity and
with the aim to fulfill all our aspirations towards a better and happy future.

My prayers for you and your families to be safe and healthy.

God Bless!

Power of Love & Empathy

What Love Means to Me! - Aryaa Ojha, IV-B

LOVE is a word that has many meanings. It is all about care, affection and is a
part of our basic nature. We, humans, are believed to be the most developed
on planet Earth. Aren’t we? It becomes an extra responsibility for us to be
more considerate and responsible towards other living organisms. My teacher
explained it in a better way. She told us, "Learn to put yourself in the place of a
person who is in pain or some trouble. Then try to feel what he or she must be
going through. This will make you aware of what your ideal behaviour should
be like". Now, I have understood that there is no particular moment when we
need love and compassion. In fact, love and compassion are states of mind
and should be with us all the time.

Everyday Compassion - Ananya Singh, IV-D

My dear friends, ‘Compassion’ is a quality that is present with all of us. However,
nowadays we forget it knowingly or unknowingly. But the need of the hour
is to remember our responsibilities by showing love and compassion to all
living things on this beautiful planet with our heart and soul so that we create
a beautiful environment around us. Here, I would like to tell you ten beautiful
things that we all should follow in our day to day life.
1. Challenge yourself to smile more at your friends, neighbours and animals.
2. Open the door for someone who is expecting something from you.
3. Always motivate others so that he or she can achieve their goals.
4. Practise acts of kindness in your day to day life.
5. Allocate some time to bond with your friends and family.
6. Always say encouraging words for others.
7. Share a hug or a handshake, if situations allow.
8. Incorporate the phrase “Thank You” into your daily routine.
9. Offer help to someone who is in need.
10. Nurture relationships by taking time to listen to others.

Love Helps One Survive - Harjot Kaur, IV A

2020 was a tough year when all had to go through a strict lockdown. It was
an unprecedented event. Everything came to a halt: schools, offices, outdoor
activities, etc. stopped. However, lockdown provided us with the fortuity to spend
time with family which somehow got lapsed in our daily busy lives. This family
time was filled with such love and compassion that we began to contemplate
our lives, our purpose on Earth. It was this love and compassion that rowed us
away from all the stress and made the lockdown pleasurable. It made survival
possible in challenging times. We don’t need expensive paraphernalia, but love
and compassion that can and will help us survive in draconian times in the
future.

Brotherhood - Rudra Prasad Soni, IV-D

India is a country with diversities in religion, region, language and culture. We,
the people of India, have distinct human interactions with others. Compassion
and love have played important roles in human dynamics when looked through
a religious perspective. In this pandemic situation of COVID-19, Indian people
have shown exemplary compassion and love to all fellowmen. The love
and brotherhood amongst all are total contentment with less suffering to all.
The volunteers stepped ahead as health care workers and frontline workers
sacrificed their amenities to help others. In this ethic for the new millennium of
love and compassion, our Prime Minister has distributed Indian-manufactured
anti-COVID vaccines to different countries which has been praised worldwide.
We, the children of this new generation, should continue with our tradition of
love and compassion in the future too.

Love: An Essence - Prish Yadav, II-C

Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them humanity
cannot survive.Speak to people with love and compassion and you could
create change in them. Love is an enhanced state of kindness, compassion,
service, respect and humility. We are all here to give and to receive. Love
is one of the many emotions that we experience through affection and care.
Showering love on everyone helps us gain more of it. When we all live,

share our happiness, love, and care for each other, it’s the
best thing for one to have in the world.
