‘Thoughts have energy, make sure your thoughts are positive and powerful. Be
optimistic – a strong and positive self-image is the best possible preparation for
success. Trust your positive instincts and surround yourself with thinkers, doers
and the believers. Remember, a good laugh is like sunshine in the house. Your
attitude is like a box of crayons that add colour to your world. Be proactive, be
positive – always keep your face to the sunshine and you’ll never see a shadow. A
positive attitude empowers you to overturn adverse circumstances to your
advantage. You cannot tailor-make the situations in life but you can customize the
right attitude to approach them. With a positive attitude, the world is your oyster
and virtually no impediments can stop a person with positive perspective from
accomplishing the goals set.As we embark on the journey of yet another promising
new year, we stand at a crossroad. We have the choice to be defined by the
decisions and challenges of the year gone by, or take on the new year with the
experience of all our past tribulations and the zest that this new year deserves. We
won't be defined by years, we in fact will define them.’
Happy New Year!
'Happiness is a many splendored thing. It is different for everyone and impossible to define. And
yet, it would be unusual for anyone to be constantly happy as life is full of its share of sufferings.
You will never know happiness unless you have known sadness. This fact has assumed greater
relevance with the COVID-19 pandemic having caused unprecedented collective death and misery
on a global scale, disrupting lives and livelihoods.
To dispel the gloom and to continue steadfast in our quest for happiness, we must embrace the
change and evolve. The year 2021 has shown us a quintessential aspect of life - happiness is not
one big thing, it is a mosaic of many little things. Through our countless experiences, we gain more
knowledge in the form of lessons learnt. The learning sources could have been the simple acts of
doing small household chores during the lockdown and realizing the value of people around you or
the physical absence of your teachers and school, filling you with gratitude as the challenges have
been transformed into a chalice of opportunities.
All of us have had positive moments, joys, regrets, losses and celebrations. While the joyous
moments spread a sparkle in our lives, the adverse ones strengthen us as capable individuals
armored to be confident even in the dark terrains.
Every year is different from the previous one and will continue to be. So as we step into 2022 let’s
resolve not to scramble with changes but take charge of our life. Let’s make resolutions- setting
resolutions is a wonderful way to articulate values. Values, that once instilled will make us
formidable in our pursuit of happiness. Let's trailblaze the way ahead, carrying on the baton of
hope and sowing the seeds of love.'
Happy New Year!

Are aliens really there?
I heard the music as I entered the room, but no one was sitting at
the piano. Guess what? I was shivering with fear. Suddenly,
someone appeared in front of me and boom! It was a figure with
one small eye, a small green coloured body, short legs but long
arms. He called himself an Alien. How silly! I thought someone
was playing a prank on me. But I tried to be brave and asked him
his purpose for coming. He told me that I was chosen as the one
to protect their planet from a group of demons. Receiving no
response from me he continued. “It was told to us by a future
predictor that you were the one who could save us”, he said
calmly. I did not believe a word he said and this was enough for
me. I started bombarding him with more questions to irritate him.
Finally, when he saw that I was not convinced, he gave me a
special suit as proof. I wore it and yes indeed that suit was
magical! I lived up to the alien’s expectations and saved their
planet from tremendous danger. That was the day when I started
believing in aliens. After the problem was over I asked the alien
why his entry was so horrific. He had no answer and I laughed
aloud!
