Friday at Sumati Bal Van

Friday we spare some time for general knowledge. This week we found out some interesting proverbs. A learned man is twice born. Argentinean Proverb – We liked it and shared it with our students, we received a warm admiration from out 9^th and 10^th students.

Our Math’s teacher came up with another wonderful proverb on books and knowledge. Books speak to the mind, friends to the heart, heaven to the soul, all else to the ears. Chinese Proverb – This left us agog.

The next was our English teacher who shared a Hebrew Proverb, I learned much from my teachers, more from my friends, and the most from my pupils. Hebrew Proverb – Really, how these different cultures teach us through their proverbs. We always have this exercise in school on Friday. I would love to share it with you all.

We leave you with a quotation by Pablo Neruda – “Laughter is the language of the soul.”

R.K.Laxman  the creator of Common Man

R.K.Laxman  the creator of ‘Common Man’. The Common man who represents an ordinary Indian national spends most of his life in meeting the both ends.  Times of India carried Common Man series regularly. It helped Indians to nourish their taste with cartoon an art of sarcasm. R K Laxman witnessed development and displacement phase of India. He used his pencil to comment on evils of society and enticed the issues of underprivileged.

Every morning, Indians started their day by reading the cartoon of R K Laxman. His jokes are the part of post-lunch discussions in offices.  Many got enlighten with current affairs and rest smiled on their fate.

Today Sumati Bal Van school children kept one minute silence. Sumati Bal Van a school where news paper reading is a part of their daily activity.  Today students got amazed with the news coverage of R K Laxman but on next moment they were deep silent for his demise.
