BHAVAN’S FAITH
Let me once more set forth the Bhavan’s faith for the
benefit of new students and members, for it is necessary that
they should understand it clearly and imbibe its spirit. The
Bhavan stands for the reintegration of Indian culture.
In a world falling to pieces under the impact of an amoral
technological avalanche, it tries to hold fast to the fundamental
values for which our culture stands-
RITA, SATYA, YAGNA, AND TAPAS.
FAITH in God, who is in the form of the cosmic order:
TRUTH which is accord between mind, word and deed;
DEDICATION which offers all movements of life as an offering to God,
SUBLIMATION which purifies the body and mind and transmutes instincts, passions
and emotions into things of beauty.
This, regardless of forms and doctrines, is Dharma, the three-fold aspects of which are
SATYAM, SIVAM, SUNDARAM Truth, Love and Beauty.
For these values our forefathers lived and died. So did Sri Ramakrishna
Paramahamsa, Swami Dayananda, Swami Vivekananda, Gandhiji and Sri Aurobindo
among moderns.
These values are embedded in our national outlook We command the respect of the
world because of them.
We can look forward to the future with confidence only because they have the vitality
which gives the power to vindicate their validity even in this fear-and- avarice ridden
age of ours.
We must make every effort in restoring an awareness of these values in personal and
collective life.
The Founder President of Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan KULAPATHI Dr. K.M. MUNSHI

A great scholar, a practical idealist, a visionary and a messenger of the oneness of
human kind, of peace, creativity and mutually supportive action.
‘India will once again be acknowledged as the Vishwa Guru-a superpower that embodies

Praise be to God who sent His Messenger with guidance and the light of truth.. Praise be to God who helped us
overcome difficulties and gave us from his bounty and generosity what we sought to face the challenges in
pursuit of our vision and helped us in presenting our message. Thanks God our students back again to our
schools. We are proud of what all we had achieved; Our educational edifice did not stop and our educational
services did not stop, so that we would continue to fulfill our mission, care for the young, and germinate them
with good plants to help them face challenges and overcome difficulties. They realized that the right to
education is a right to life and that the education process must continue with every inhale and exhale.
I thank everyone who contributed to this achievement. I thank the work team and ask them for more because
they can.
I thank the parents who have trusted us. I thank my students for their effort, diligence, patience and
perseverance, believing in science and its impact on achieving a better life.
We pledge to all of you on further progress and achievement, asking God Almighty for success and redemption.
He is the best of the Lord and the best of the protector.

Message from the Chairman
50, 40, 30, or even 20 years back – children were focused on age appropriate matters – be it their education and cultural
activities in school, responsibilities at home or the social community they lived in. Character building was the essence in
school and at home. Individual satisfaction and personal needs were not given importance or priorities. The change from
then to now is visible at every home – The attitude of parents and children at every home – then and now is far different
from the way it was back then. Change is necessary and even mandated as generations pass. But we as a school believe
that culture and values should remain the same and be the solid foundation of every home for generations. During the last
15 years of my 24/7 involvement with children, parents and teachers, I am really surprised or in fact more saddened to
see the current level of attitude of children from class 3 onwards. May be I belong to an older generation or still continue
with the old school of thoughts. But I believe many of the children are diverting from their proper path, and chasing
things that are not age appropriate, and not at all necessary in these years of their life. This will ultimately lead to more
children being trapped in a whirlwind of activities and emotions that divert their attention and focus from matters most
essential to set their future on track. Many of the children are in the trap. I am very sure that as a parent you belong to
one of these parent groups – either the ‘trapped’, or the possibly ‘going to be trapped’. During several interactions with
parents it has come to my notice that there are a number of instances where children lack respect, cases where they
retort and answer back, and yell at, when even the slightest or basic questions are asked at home, but the very same child
was obedient and mostly well behaved at school. Yesterday I heard from my senior leadership team that grade 8 children
have started answering back to Principal and Vice Principals. In the last couple of months, I have seen lots of such
unhealthy incidents which warrant the parents’ immediate intervention. I am sure many parents are experiencing the
same, or similar situations at home, as well. Our children grow physically and they may be aware of many more things than
necessary for their age because of increased social media presence – but their emotional responsibility level is still that
of a child and not of an adult. They need to understand the impact of their words and actions, and take responsibility for
the effects of the same. At Bhavans, we believe in character building which is the foundation of any child for a better
tomorrow, better future. Education will follow automatically. Parents are requested to communicate with the senior
management team of the school as and when necessary to discuss the progress of their children in all matters of their
growth or when you feel there is a visible change in child’s attitude and behavior. Let us work together for a better
tomorrow. Trust us, we are with you.

From the Vice Chairman
INFINITE POSSIBILITIES THROUGH DIALOGUE.
Basic values stem from the culture a child is exposed to. Values may differ from
generation to generation. A set of values suitable to one generation may not be
suitable to another. It all depends on individual perception of values. Educators,
have infinite possibilities. Expectations should be modified. Ideas should not be
bull dozed on children. The communication channels should be kept open to be
constantly in dialogue with the children. Listen to them and try to understand
them. All their demands need not to be compiled with or all their concerns need not
be addressed. But once they feel their voice is heard, half the battle is won.

Message from Bhavans Director
Dear Students, Teachers and Parents ,
I am very certain that the passion and hard work that is definitely shining through these pages has been
stirring up for a long time. And true to its name Mélange I am sure the magazine will be a magical medley of
stories , a beautiful blend of ideas , an admirable assortment of art, a curious collection of creativity and a
marvelous mixed bag of experience. Just as each one of us is – a unique patchwork of stories, experiences,
ideas , talent and creativity. Being a student is perhaps one the most important and impressionable phases
of our life. It is also that age in time when we can follow a hundred different dreams and walk many paths
before we chose a final destination. The excitement of being able to mould and train a young mind should
be carried by the teachers and the parents too. It is such a unique and wonderful opportunity. There is no
doubt and I am sure all of you would agree that each one of us is different. I personally prefer to use the
term unique. Our tastes, our experiences, our understanding , our skills are all unique. And then the most
important truth being that all of us have our own unique intelligences and skill sets. The pressures of
modern living are hard enough and we do not really need families, schools , society and any other social set
up trying to fit us into a pre- casted mold. We do not need to bend and fold ourselves to squeeze into a
space that does not recognize our true skills and rather forces us to develop accepted qualities. The need
of the times is definitely - acceptance of us as we are, which again brings me back to how the student life
is such an important phase. And school activities like sports and annual days and school publications like the
magazine become such an important tool to unleash the passion and creative talents a child has. Every child
should be encouraged to try their hands at sports , art , creative / free thinking. As teachers and as
parents doing this is so important. I wish the Smart Indian School the very best in moulding a generation
of evolved citizens. I pray that parents continue to be the backbone of their child’s strengths – no matter
if it does not match up with their own dreams – and the driving force that pushes them to achieve their
true potential. And last but not the least I wish to encourage every child to dream – dream big , and be the
inspiration that you seek outside.
God Bless.

Message from the Principal
Our ability to reach unity in diversity will be the beauty of our civilization even after crossing all the hurdles of our
life.
During Covid-19 pandemic we had faced many challenges and lost many lives. However the imprint to be a human being
with a humanitarian and supportive heart is left forever.
We belong to a society where people think differently, speak differently and act differently, however if we have the
ability to think globally and feel the essence of unity in diversity, that would be a real achievement for our future
generation and the nation. With this in our mind we have compiled different cultures, different feelings, different
colours, different souls and different skills of different people to portray the sense of ACCORD in Mélange - our
school magazine.
It’s my supreme pleasure to decree the proceeding of our fourth edition of Mélange. Due to Covid-19 pandemic
restrictions, we are left behind with no other choice than to publish our annual School Magazine online.
At the outset, I express my gratitude to the management of Bhavans Smart Indian School for the indefatigable
support given for the SIS TEAM, providing a platform for the performances in various hues for the all the curricular,
extra-curricular and non-curricular activities in our school, which abetted us to reach many milestones. My heartfelt
gratitude to the much-committed SIS Team for the astonishing efforts taken by each team member for making the
events happen perfectly on time and in a perfect professional way educating the students to manage the event and
learn from each event, even during the competitive online and hybrid platform. Special kudos to the Mélange Team for
their astounding exertions to document each milestone event in a different shade in Mélange – A tangible example
for Unity in diversity. I wish the entire team of Bhavans Smart Indian School all the success, peace, harmony, and
happiness as we believe in one world one family.
Let us all understand the real spirit of MASK TO UNMASK, which will give us more insight
for self-analysis, self-realization and self-transformation. Let us face all the tasks with a
positive approach so that we all can unmask ourselves and be an accomplished and compas-
sionate human being with all the wisdom from the chores of our life.
Let us all have a great expectancy that if there is a strong will to face any challenge in our
life we can UNMASK our hidden talents and skills for a better life ahead. We can take the
inspiration from others, however, don’t allow others to control our progress.
Always be yourself …. Mask to Unmask

“There is no ‘there’ to reach.
No end. No beginning.
Life is a perennial flow….
Life is best lived when you don’t try to demystify everything about life. Yes, it is
true that life must be future oriented but it is necessary that every moment is to
be lived. ‘This’ moment must be made to count. Smile now when smile is happening,
let the tear drop flow when it must.
Let us make an attempt to make every moment significant and let’s be sincere, alive
and real in this very moment. Whether we live a useful life or a useless life,
remember, after the game the king and the pawn go into the same box.
Moment after moment, let us live useful moments and let it aggregate into a

“Education for each child should be the number one priority.
Families should realize that houses and cars are much less
important than a child’s education”- Narendra Modi
Every child has an inner schedule for growth- a design exclusively for him/her.
Educational growth of all children is not tenacious; it is instead a zigzag trail;
three steps forward, two steps back, one around the bushes, and a few simply
standing before another forward leap. Dear parent and teachers, let them take
their time for their growth, we can be the effective fertilizers to catalyze their
growth. We will together teach them to be happy, so that they know the value
of things and not the price, differentiate the right and wrong and be kind to
others.

MASK TO UNMASK
Oh, what a year it’s been!
The long months of isolation and quarantine have finally come to an end, and we are limping back to
normal life. However, due to this pandemic, our sense of “normal” has forever been warped. Our
minds now associate school as a five second walk from the bed to the computer, and our ability to
pay attention to the class as being dictated by our internet connection. Our horizons have been
broadened to the online platform , however absence makes the heart grow fonder, and we all
yearn to go back to our shared second home, face to face after so long. We will walk into school
as changed individuals, forever molded by the experiences we have had in isolation. We have
adapted. Through loss, we have learnt that life is not a given, family and friends matter now more
than ever, and we have discovered the profound effects that small acts of kindness can have.
The technological blunders of the online class provided much needed laughter amidst dark times.
It always makes my day when someone forgets to mute themselves or turn off their video and
says something incredibly embarrassing.
Oh, how we all wished that it would happen in every class. However, we always knew that online
classes would be a temporary phenomenon, of that there was no doubt. Yet during this pandemic,
we have grown our own talents, and discovered new ones. We have come out more skilled than
ever, and we should be grateful for it.
We have unmasked our true selves by wearing the mask. We have been set free by quarantine.
We have been thriving while we were surviving. We are changed people.
In your hands, you hold our unmasked thoughts and feelings, portraying the changed reality that
is the new normal. I am so proud to be part of a team that has delivered so much in these times.
Will you unmask your own hidden talents for the world to see? How long are you planning to stay
hidden behind the cloth and polyester shielding your face? There is only one answer to that. So,
with a final thank you to all who contributed to Mélange 2021-22,
I wish each of you Happy reading!

SCHOOL ANNUAL REPORT
“Challenges are what make life interesting
Overcoming them makes life more transforming”
A cheerful merriment onboard to walk into the walkway of spanking
master strokes created in the realm of Bhavan’s Smart Indian School and
a cheerful 2021 to set up much more mosey of marvels in the days of
challenges amidst the challenging Covid-19 pandemic.
I am profoundly privileged and reckoned once again to have led such a strong, vibrant school community through a year of
great achievements. The triumphs are of collateral nature for both individual and combined with our students and their parents,
our staff, and the school as a whole. School achievements this year continued to double up and speckled across academic,
sporting, and cultural fields, reflecting our vows to the development of the whole child. All the educators always feel proud to
be an integral part of Bharatiya vidya Bhavan as it has the tradition of teaching the basics to all. The family values that we
teach our pupils will keep our education upright and esteemed always in our life. We at SIS strive for inculcating project-based
concepts to the students along with the life skills involving the parent community. We believe in learning by doing in all the
subjects whether it is a child, a teacher, or a parent. We try to invite the parents too wherever and whenever possible to do the
activities along with their wards.
Our school starts a day with a mélange of educative views in the school assembly. Each class is assigned a day to conduct the
assembly. The assembly protocol is School Prayer, Word of the Day in five languages English, Hindi, French, Arabic and
Sanskrit, Thought for the Day, Idiom of the Day, Significance of the Day, Wrong Usage in English, News Headlines in five
languages followed by Bhavans & SIS Anthem. During the enrichment period all the students are made to write the word of
the day, thought for the day and the idiom of the day and also use it in their own sentence on the enrichment notebook. The
morning assembly really raises the bar for each student with real enrichment for life along with family values which is the
source of success for everyone.
Every day the last period is used as review period where the students revise the portions taken on the day and complete the
homework that too under the supervision of the class teacher.
The special assembly assigned to each class will make all the students of that class to know more about the assembly protocol
and each student would come on the stage to conduct the assembly.
Declaring one-week portion in advance will make the kids to read the chapters in advance and come prepared with few
questions from the new chapters. When the teachers discuss the chapter, students can understand the concept better and faster.
Regular One to One PTM in the presence of the wards and the class teacher gives a perfect idea about the student’s progress
and the areas of improvement. Each parent is given enough time to discuss about the kid with the class teacher who knows all
about the kid.
Writing a sentence in all the forms of the tenses and using the same in framing sentences everyday helps the students improve
their language skills tremendously and in a grammatically right way.
The SIS FM gives a bizarre dais to each student to talk about book reviews and express their special talents to the whole
school. The FM is a platform to express the talents of the students like RJ, singing, public speaking or orator skills .
Water bell in the form of the sound of flowing water reminds everyone to drink water which shows a community concern to
have a healthy life. The soothing music of meditation involuntarily makes all the students and teachers to sit quietly for
analyzing themselves in a meditative mood.
It is only because of the steadfast and stern TEAM of teachers who work hard to fish out the skills inherent within the child
that has helped in the progressive development of the child. This in turn has helped each student in chishing out a better
personality.

Academically, our learning and teaching programs have ensured consistently strong academic results in school based and
standardized tests. Smart Indian School (SIS) emphasizes on NCERT norms in all facets of the school curriculum. The
pedagogical methodology betrothed to the latest scientific advancements have kept the seekers and students in a more updated
and advanced way.
Even though the Covid-19 pandemic has changed the entire world’s normal functioning, we at SIS have not left any stone
untouched and any leaf unturned. All the activities for the year 2021-2022 were conducted virtually.
We the Smart Educators not only educated the MINDS but also the HEARTS of our second batch of grade 10 students who
had appeared for the CBSE examination and brought laurels to the school. The indubitable second batch result was encrypted
as the successful 100 % result, corroborating that if there is a will there is a way to success leading to a brighter future ahead.
We are proud to proclaim that the unique way of evaluation instructed by CBSE made many of the students of the second
batch also position themselves on the school toppers’ list on the WALL OF FAME.
April - with two famous Zodiac signs Aries and Taurus. Passion and determination. Imbibing the same vigor and passion
SIS kick started its new academic year 2021 -2022 with a vigorous POP (Parent Orientation Programme) where-in the
students took their parents’ and teachers’ blessings by touching their feet.
The first activity held was the SIS FITNESS WEEK which made all the students to participate in different sessions of
doing exercises, yoga, meditation and having nutritious food for a better health for the body and mind.
World Book Day made the kids to feel that there is no friend as loyal as a BOOK.
Art and literary Competitions along with the group discussions by the students on the World Earth Day made the day so

Message from Head Boy
Mask to Unmask
The world felt like a different place during the pandemic. For the past two years, the
pandemic has transformed nearly every aspect of our daily life. It has impacted our lives in
ways that are reminiscent to some of history's most terrible occurrences. All of our lives
were turned upside down in unexpected ways, with long-term consequences for everyone.
However, as the legendary basketball coach, John Wooden said,” If we fail to adapt, we fail to
move forward,".
Living in the midst of a global pandemic has changed me, but it has also given me crucial skills
like how to adapt to different situations and how to persevere even when the odds are against
me.
After a year of commitment, hard work, and pushing the limits, the Kuwaiti government has
reduced the number of covid cases and we can now finally go back to normal and attend classes
offline. But, now that I think about it, this was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that not many
others throughout the world had. While performing our tasks on a completely new platform,
we encountered a number of difficulties, which I believe we overcame.
The management of Smart Indian School is the backbone of everything, and it has done an
incredible job running the school online as well as the events and activities. Smart Indian
School has shown that nothing can stop them from reaching 100% success once again. I have
full confidence that Smart Indian School is ready to face any challenges in the future.
It is a privilege for me to be able to lead this prestigious school through these hard times, and
to work with a such talented team. This would not have been possible without the
management's and all of the teachers' participation. With everyone's cooperation and the
Almighty's grace, I am convinced that SIS will continue to thrive in every sense of the word in
the years ahead.

Message from Head Girl
Dear readers,
The past two years has transformed nearly every aspect of our world. Seemingly
overnight, the quirky (waking directly from bed and attending classes!) became
mundane. Meanwhile, our friends and family have had their lives changed in critical ways
that promise to have much longer-lasting effects. Living through a global pandemic has
driven dramatic shifts in life, eating habits, and even our collective sense of time.
But after thinking innovatively and pushing boundaries, with the help of the Kuwait
Government, we managed to start the classes offline. But thinking about it now, this
was an experience that wasn’t felt quite often around the world. We encountered
various obstacles in fulfilling our duties on an entirely new platform, but I would say we
triumphed over it. Covid 19 had provided a blank canvas to us students on which we
tried to splash colours of our thoughts.
The school management has done a wonderful job in conducting multifarious activities
and events. Be it webinars, classes or even sports, Smart Indian School Kuwait has once
again proven that nothing is out of reach, and nothing can stop us if we work as a team.
I consider it an honour to be able to lead this prodigious school for this year and to be
working alongside the best team. I thank the management and all the teachers as this
wouldn’t have been possible without their support. I am sure that with the cooperation
of all and with the blessings of the Almighty, SIS will continue to grow in all ways in the
years to come.
