M’me Indira Yakthumba, Founder, Gyanodaya, honoured him with a shawl and presented a citation noting his contribution as a public figure. A host of other individuals were then honoured by the Chief Guest with shawls and citations including Lt. Gen. (Retd.) Fatte Bahadur Limbu, S.P.

Included in the list of honoree were some physically differently-abled people with visual impairment, senior citizens and representatives of the local Youth Club who ` were presented with walking sticks, shawls and cash awards. The Chief Guest , speaking on the occasion, thanked the Gyanodaya family for the honour given to him and for the publication of a historically important biography based on the life and work on Late G. B. Yakthumba. He lauded the role of Late G. B. Yakthumba in laying the foundation of democratic Nepal and recognised the felt need to honour individual of his stature by the Government. A good number of parents, well wishers, invited guests, alumni, students and teachers formed a part of the passionate, enthusiastic and nostalgic gathering. They were all treated to superb refreshment at the end of the programme courtesy the Hospitality Department of Gyanodaya. What a culmination to the commemorative year! Indeed, it was truly a remarkable day and it will forever remain etched in the institutional memory of Gyanodaya as a red letter day. (Caught in the Frame on 2 & 3) Founder Principal’s Voice I am happy to lend my voice to yet another issue of the Gyanodaya Times. I must say my students h a v e invested a remarkable effort in this quarterly. In a cycle that is unbroken, you all have ensured that the School newsletter maintained continuity since its first issue was published about four years ago. Continue with this attempt and by your endeavour give life to our work at School. All that I would want to say to you all here is that keep your effort on track, please. How imperative education is cannot be overstated. Many issues are there, of course, that are important in the life of a nation. But to my mind nothing is more central than education. In whatever we choose to do in life, we will need education to do it. Every career that we chose to pursue will need a good education. So one has to work for it, learn for it and train for it. Education gives us freedom and the opportunity to build our lives. Education makes us more literate, more skilled and more competitive to be able to find jobs more easily. In that sense, education strengthens us all. But education is not just important for your life and your own future. What you make of your education will decide nothing less than the future of the country. Your contribution to the pride of your country and the country’s economy will be determined by how you use your time in school and what you make of your education. Education is thus our strength; it is the foundation of our society. At School our priority should, therefore, be to adequately prepare children for the world they will inherit. And it is for sure that the world they will inherit will be more complex and competitive. So it is imperative that we strengthen our students and that begins, if I may say so, with those who teach. So let us teach our students to be somebody. I see that this issue comes on the occasion of our New Year. Allow me to use this space to wish all our parents, friends and well wishers and all the Gyanodayans a Happy New Year 2068 B.S.

(an update on Gyanodaya Associates)<br />

Commemorative Year Celebrated<br />

(Au Revoir to Annus Mirabilis)<br />

Cultural Day Observed<br />

If the academic year 2010-’11 symbolized<br />

35 years of Gyanodaya’s establishment, 26<br />

February 2011 marked a fantastic<br />

culmination of the year with a commemorative<br />

function amidst great pageantry within the<br />

sprawling compound of the Gyanodaya Int’l<br />

Residential School, Bungamati, Khokana. Mr.<br />

Subas Chandra Nembang, Speaker of the<br />

Constituent Assembly, was the Chief Guest.<br />

The celebration marked a series of events<br />

which kick started with the lighting of<br />

Gyanodaya’s Lamp of Truth and Wisdom by<br />

the Chief Guest. The nucleus of the programme<br />

was a book launch by the Chief Guest - a<br />

biography titled ‘G. B. Yakthumba: A<br />

Champion of Democracy’ written by Mr. Dilli<br />

Bikram Edingo based on the life and work of<br />

His Excellency Late Gyan Bahadur<br />

Yakthumba.<br />

On whose inspiration, pray!<br />

Gyanodaya as it stands today<br />

Was built on a pledge<br />

To uphold truth and knowledge.<br />

The book chronicles the contribution of a<br />

multi-faceted man to the national life as a<br />

leader in the national liberation struggle<br />

ushering in democracy in 2007, his role as the<br />

first Inspector General of Police from the rank<br />

of commoners, as a votary of egalitarian<br />

approach in social evolution and as a diplomat.<br />

Welcoming the guests, M’me Indira<br />

Yakthumba, Founder, Gyanodaya, said that her<br />

wish, in publishing the biography, was to see<br />

that through this book a significant phase of<br />

our nation’s history was brought to the public<br />

domain. And in doing so hopefully mark a trail<br />

for academicians and researchers to delve<br />

deeper into the hitherto totally disregarded and<br />

ignored facts of our history as it unfolded<br />

including the historical personages.<br />

Another event that marked the occasion was<br />

the Gyanodaya Cultural Day - a glittering affair<br />

reflecting the breathtaking richness of our<br />

national diversity and showcased the colourful<br />

mosaic of so many inter-ethnic cultures at<br />

Gyanodaya. The programme featured cultural<br />

parade where children dressed in ethnic and<br />

national costume walked on stage and included<br />

song and dance numbers depicting our rich<br />

cultural heritage.<br />

In between, of course, there was the<br />

Book Launched<br />

Individuals Feted<br />

programme to honour individuals who had<br />

made notable contribution to the social,<br />

political and economic life of the nation. The<br />

first to be feted was the Chief Guest - the<br />

Speaker of the Constituent Assembly Mr. Subas<br />

Chandra Nembang. M’me Indira<br />

Yakthumba, Founder, Gyanodaya,<br />

honoured him with a shawl and presented<br />

a citation noting his contribution as a<br />

public figure. A host of other individuals<br />

were then honoured by the Chief Guest<br />

with shawls and citations including Lt.<br />

Mr. Ram Chandra Timothy, Dr. Kedarnath<br />

Shrestha, Dr. Rajendra Kumar Rongong,<br />

Mr. Gopal Bahadur Shahi and Mr.<br />

Buddhabir Lama among others.<br />

And M’me Indira Yakthumba presented<br />

tokens to those former students who had<br />

studied at Gyanodaya from Nursery<br />

through to Bachelor’s level. Among them<br />

were Bina Bajracharya, Samir Poudel,<br />

Shraddha Rana, Samjhana Nyachu and<br />

Supriya Basnet. Included in the list of honoree<br />

were some physically differently-abled people<br />

with visual impairment, senior citizens and<br />

representatives of the local Youth Club who `<br />

were presented with walking sticks, shawls and<br />

cash awards.<br />

The Chief Guest , speaking on the occasion,<br />

thanked the Gyanodaya family for the honour<br />

given to him and for the publication of a<br />

historically important biography based on the<br />

life and work on Late G. B. Yakthumba. He<br />

lauded the role of Late G. B. Yakthumba in<br />

Adieu to Passing Out Batch<br />

As a part of the<br />

institutional<br />

tradition at<br />

Gyanodaya, farewell<br />

programmes for the SLC<br />

bound students were<br />

organised by students of<br />

Grade IX both at the Day and<br />

Residential Schools. If the<br />

students at the Residential<br />

School chose 10 February to<br />

hold the send off programme,<br />

the students of the Day<br />

School organized the farewell<br />

function for their seniors on<br />

12 February 2011.<br />

Speaking to the students,<br />

Hon’ble Founder M’me<br />

Indira Yakthumba reminded<br />

them that as they write the<br />

SLC examination, they are,<br />

in fact, set to make a new<br />

with a positive attitude and<br />

Schools had given much<br />

thought to the organization<br />

Birth Anniversary<br />

Observed<br />

Gyanodaya observed the 91 st<br />

birth anniversary of His<br />

Excellency Late G. B.<br />

Yakthumba on 16 March (2<br />

Chaitra), both at the Day School<br />

teaching and non-teaching<br />

staff remembered the<br />

significance of the day for<br />

everyone associated with<br />

Gyanodaya and respectfully<br />

beginning in their life. And<br />

much of that new beginning<br />

will, of course, depend<br />

entirely on how they do in<br />

their SLC examination. She<br />

urged them to get ahead<br />

work hard<br />

standing equal to<br />

the challenge and<br />

pass the<br />

examination with<br />

good results<br />

making their<br />

parents and the<br />

School proud. She wished the<br />

graduating students GOOD<br />

LUCK personally from her and<br />

on behalf of the entire Gyanodaya<br />

family.<br />

The students in both the<br />

Inter-House Trophy<br />

Awarded<br />

Activities, be they<br />

related to academics<br />

or non-academic in<br />

nature, keep students busy at<br />

diary and letter writing, art,<br />

quiz and handwriting<br />

including sports. Even the<br />

academic performance is<br />

and had done everything<br />

possible to make the function<br />

memorable for their seniors.<br />

There was entertainment with<br />

the rhythm and beat of song and<br />

dance numbers. And there was<br />

emotion too in the air; naturally<br />

perhaps in programmes of such<br />

nature where people gather to<br />

bid goodbye.<br />

Everyone was treated to a rich fare<br />

of food – delicious and sumptuous<br />

– at the end of the programme.<br />

Great job Grade IX, both day<br />

scholars and in residence!<br />

Primary Division Holds<br />

Exhibition & Pot Luck<br />

In a span of about three weeks,<br />

on two occasions separated<br />

over two different days, the<br />

Primary Division at the<br />

Day School at Sanepa<br />

organized an exhibition of<br />

at Sanepa and the Residential<br />

School at Bungamati. Gyanodaya<br />

was founded by M’me Indira<br />

Yakthumba in 1975 in tribute to<br />

his memory. And all things at<br />

Gyanodaya emanate from his<br />

name Gyan.<br />

A solemn occasion it was, the<br />

ceremony was dignified. Led by<br />

M’me Indira Yakthumba, the<br />

mache involving cutting,<br />

tearing and pasting waste<br />

papers and giving them<br />

different shapes creating<br />

dolls, animals and flowers.<br />

Exhibits also included fabric<br />

painting with the theme tie<br />

and dye and painting of<br />

earthen wares with a rich mix<br />

of variety of colours. Objects<br />

paid homage to the Late icon<br />

by offering flowers and<br />

vermilion on his statue<br />

erected within the compound<br />

in both the Schools.<br />

After the ceremonial<br />

observance, everyone attended<br />

the high tea organized by the<br />

Gyanodaya Hospitality<br />

Department on the occasion.<br />

dishes including the locally<br />

popular momos. At the end of<br />

the programme, it was<br />

wonderful to see students<br />

happily and willingly sharing<br />

the food among themselves,<br />

with their parents, visitors and<br />

their teachers.<br />

Gyanodaya. Such activities<br />

are held internally as interhouse<br />

competitions and<br />

points tally is maintained to<br />

determine the champion<br />

house. And the purpose in<br />

doing so is to give a<br />

competitive flair and<br />

stimulate excitement and<br />

enthusiasm in the students<br />

and fuel their urge to be<br />

winners. And these activities<br />

comprise a whole area of<br />

learning like debate,<br />

recitation, elocution, essay,<br />

factored into the points tally.<br />

The points are then computed<br />

at the end of the academic year.<br />

And when this was done this<br />

year end, it was the Yellow<br />

House that had emerged the<br />

winner with 139 points. And the<br />

champions were presented the<br />

Inter-House Championship<br />

Trophy on 11 February amid a<br />

formal function during the<br />

School Assembly by M’me<br />

Indira Yakthumba.<br />

Congratulations! Three<br />

Cheers to Yellow House!<br />

arts and crafts by its students and<br />

held pot luck for them. While the<br />

first one involving students from<br />

Grade III to Grade IV was held<br />

on 19 February, the second<br />

segment of the exhibition and pot<br />

luck with students from Nursery<br />

to Grade II was held on 8 March<br />

2011.<br />

Art and craft exhibition displayed<br />

the grade level ingenuity of the<br />

primary children. Most of the art<br />

and craft work comprised of paper<br />

on show, among others,<br />

also consisted of water<br />

animals like crocodile<br />

and tortoise, pencil<br />

holders, dolls, flowers<br />

and trees made from<br />

waste materials like egg<br />

shells and egg crates. In<br />

doing so, the children<br />

were able to demonstrate<br />

how even waste materials could<br />

be purposefully used to produce<br />

fine work of art and craft.<br />

Pot Luck had a different appeal –<br />

a welcome charm. With food items<br />

brought in by each student and the<br />

many different households<br />

involved in providing them, pot<br />

luck actually had a dazzling array<br />

of food items representative of our<br />

rich culture like bara, choila,<br />

selroti, khir and many types of<br />

vegetarian and non-vegeterain<br />

A hectic day both the times no<br />

doubt but nonetheless<br />

rewarding days that brought<br />

so much joy and happiness to<br />

so many. It was a day truly<br />

well spent. And in particular<br />

the worth of the programme<br />

was not lost on the parents.<br />

They thanked the School for<br />

organizing the programme<br />

and many held the view that<br />

such events should be<br />

organized more frequently in<br />

the future.

The 2010 edition of Inter-Plus Two<br />

Invitational Basket<strong>bal</strong>l Tournament,<br />

delayed due to packed School<br />

calendar, was held from 7- 16 February<br />

2011. It opened amidst a colourful<br />

ceremony with lively music and dance<br />

sequence on 7 February in the premises<br />

of Gyanodaya Bal Batika at Sanepa. Mr.<br />

S. K. Shrestha of the Professional<br />

Education Consultancy, chief sponsor of<br />

the event, was the Chief Guest. Mr.<br />

Gyan Carnival : 2010<br />

(annual Inter-Plus Two Boys and Girls Basket<strong>bal</strong>l Tournament<br />

Sponsored by Professional Education Consultancy)<br />

A good number of Plus Two<br />

institutions from the valley<br />

participated in the tournament. The<br />

game opened with a Girls’ match<br />

played between the National Campus<br />

and Trinity where Trinity took early<br />

control of the game and won<br />

eventually with a comfortable margin.<br />

With each team wanting to go out with<br />

nothing less than the championship<br />

trophy, every game was<br />

National Campus emerged as finalists<br />

in the boys category and<br />

NASA and Xavier<br />

International booked<br />

their berths in the finals<br />

of the girls section.<br />

The tournament closed<br />

with a formal ceremony<br />

in the afternoon on 16<br />

February. The boys finals<br />

played between Prime<br />

and endurance and the score moving<br />

Narendra Thapa, Sr. Vice President of the<br />

Nepal Basket<strong>bal</strong>l Association, graced the<br />

occasion as the Guest of Honour.<br />

With the theme<br />

share the<br />

similarities<br />

and celebrate the<br />

differences Gyanodaya<br />

+2 observed its annual<br />

Cultural Day on 1<br />

March 2011. Parents,<br />

invited guests and<br />

students participated in<br />

the programme.<br />

Incidentally, the result<br />

of the Second Term<br />

was also declared on<br />

the day.<br />

Hon’ble Founder<br />

M’me Indira<br />

Yakthumba briefly<br />

addressed the parents,<br />

informed them of the<br />

academic activities<br />

during the term,<br />

impending HISSAN<br />

Pre-Board and HSEB<br />

Board examinations,<br />

thanked them for their<br />

support and<br />

cooperation and also<br />

spoke of the<br />

significance of the<br />

Cultural Day.<br />

Our country is a<br />

colourful mosaic of so<br />

many inter-ethnic<br />

cultures. Diversity is<br />

its hallmark. We are a<br />

big family of many ethnic<br />

groups. And that diversity<br />

was well represented in<br />

the +2 community with<br />

students dressed in their<br />

own attractive ethnic<br />

costumes. But what is<br />

important is that this big<br />

enthusiastically contested and keenly<br />

fought. After over a week of intense<br />

competition in the league and the<br />

knock-out stage, Prime College and<br />

College and National Campus was a<br />

hard fought game with the teams<br />

matching each other in skill, ability<br />

Cultural Day @ +2<br />

(Share the similarities; Celebrate the differences)<br />

family lives in harmony.<br />

And that is what our Cultural Day<br />

is intended to achieve. The idea of<br />

dedicating this day as cultural day<br />

is to appreciate the multiplicity of<br />

our culture and raise the levels of<br />

consciousness in understanding,<br />

awareness and<br />

tolerance of intercultural<br />

differences<br />

and share different<br />

c u l t u r a l<br />

experiences.<br />

The programme<br />

began with the<br />

singing of the<br />

National Anthem<br />

by +2 students.<br />

neck to neck.<br />

Eventually<br />

Prime College<br />

got the better<br />

of their rivals<br />

and won the<br />

championship<br />

with a 61 - 44<br />

margin. In the girls final played earlier<br />

in the day, NASA won the trophy with<br />

a score of 31 – 28.<br />

The winners and runners-up were given<br />

certificates, medals and trophies<br />

including the most valuable player awards<br />

by the Guests of Honour, sponsors of the<br />

event and the Senior Vice Principal of<br />

Gyanodaya.<br />

We take this opportunity to thank our<br />

sponsor Professional Education<br />

Consultancy for their continued<br />

goodwill and sponsorship of the<br />

tournament.<br />

And that was<br />

followed by some<br />

song and dance<br />

sequence that<br />

reflected our rich<br />

culture which had the<br />

audience spellbound.<br />

In between we had<br />

the finale draw and<br />

award ceremony<br />

where achievers in<br />

academics and sports<br />

were given<br />

certificates, medals<br />

and trophies<br />

including the Inter-<br />

House Championship<br />

Trophy by the<br />

Hon’ble Founder<br />

M’me Indira<br />

Yakthumba. The<br />

programme ended<br />

with the singing of<br />

the School song by<br />

the students.<br />

The day was<br />

educative and<br />

entertaining; the time<br />

was well spent. All<br />

the parents were<br />

appreciative of the<br />

thought that was put<br />

into the programme.<br />

They felt that<br />

organising such a<br />

day would help<br />

socialisation of the<br />

individual which is<br />

an essential part of<br />

education.<br />

Every one was<br />

treated to a sumptuous<br />

lunch at the end of the<br />

programme.


10 GYANODAYA TIMES<br />

Oct. '10 - March '11<br />

eDITORIAL<br />

Annus Mirabilis; so we said as we began the academic year<br />

with a commemorative issue of our newsletter to mark 35<br />

glorious years of the foundation of Gyanodaya. Ad fin that is<br />

what we say now as we are at the end of the remarkable year<br />

as this issue of the Gyanodaya <strong>Times</strong> comes to your hand.<br />

Indeed, the year may very well end but this scholastic year<br />

was remarkable in many ways.<br />

A massive infusion of resources in the beginning of the<br />

educational year saw the teaching-learning process undergo a<br />

major revamp with IT friendly system in place bidding adieu<br />

to traditional approach to education, and making teachinglearning<br />

experience at Gyanodaya more fitting with the<br />

demands of time.<br />

In July came the SLC result. A cent percent pass result with<br />

58 of the 190 SLC appeared getting through with distinction<br />

and the rest passing in the first division brought much cheers<br />

all around for Gyanodayans.<br />

And in August Gyanodaya came up with a hi-tech inter-school<br />

mathematics quiz that was projected live within the circuit<br />

through state-of-the art computers with broad band internet<br />

connected with a Wi-Fi system. A big screen projection got<br />

these questions live to the audience too. So in that sense it<br />

was a trend setting event, and this efficient application of<br />

technology to further education is at the heart of Gyanodaya.<br />

In what may be termed as the life blood of a school, activities,<br />

co and extra-curricular, provided excitement and flavour to<br />

an otherwise dull and monotonous routine of an academic life.<br />

Students were kept occupied through the year with a series<br />

of activities with a competitive flair internally as inter-house<br />

competitions to stimulate excitement and enthusiasm and fuel<br />

their urge to excel.<br />

At the inter-school competitions – literary, artistic and<br />

sporting variety - organized within the valley by various<br />

schools, agencies and departments our children proved that<br />

Gyanodayans are winners. Four of our students represented<br />

the School at the 26 th Asia Pacific Jamboree in January 2010<br />

at the Philippines.<br />

True to its billing as the much looked forward to event at the<br />

school level, the Gyan Carnival 2010, 17th edition of the interschool<br />

basket<strong>bal</strong>l, foot<strong>bal</strong>l and volley<strong>bal</strong>l tournament, saw huge<br />

and enthusiastic participation, and was held with much fan<br />

fare and great success in December.<br />

Life was demanding and full of activity for the students at<br />

the Plus Two too. We had senior representatives from INTI<br />

and BINARY, two Universities in Malaysia, speak to them about<br />

education and career in the context of glo<strong>bal</strong>ization;<br />

representatives from The Chopras in India, a consultancy<br />

engaged in shaping lives and careers, conduct a seminar on<br />

personality development and pathway to a comfortable career;<br />

qnd a consultant/motivational speaker, Mr. Jagdish Agrawal,<br />

FCA, gave them an overview of the corporate world and spoke<br />

to the students of the management faculty on a myriad of<br />

management career opportunities and requisite competency<br />

to make a successful career in any one of them.<br />

Education for them was, of course, not confined only to the<br />

class room or the conference hall. Students of Science faculty,<br />

on a study tour, visited the Khopasi Hydel Project and the<br />

Sericulture Centre at Panauti. And as a part of mission<br />

education they also visited the science laboratory and the<br />

meteorology unit at the Tribhuvan University. Those in<br />

management and humanities were taken on a day educational<br />

x-cursion to Nagarkot where they were instructed on the<br />

various facets of hotel business. They also visited the<br />

industrial estate at Bhaktapur.<br />

And in January 2011 they all got involved with the Winter<br />

Festival, an annual occasion at +2, where students engage in<br />

outdoor sports and track and field events. Another annual<br />

event – the Gyan Carnival, the Inter-Plus Two Basket<strong>bal</strong>l<br />

Tournament, followed in February. The tournament was a huge<br />

draw. And the activity calendar of +2 wound up with the<br />

celebration of the Diversity Day.<br />

Came February and we had the grand culmination a truly<br />

remakable year. A combination of events - a biography on the<br />

life and work of His Excellency Late G. B. Yakthumba was<br />

launched, Gyanodaya Cultural Day was observed and individuals<br />

who had made a mark in the national psyche with their<br />

contributions were honoured and some elderly and physically<br />

differently abled individuals were also feted - to mark the<br />

year. The function to mark the occasion was held on 26<br />

February with the Speeaker of the Constituent Assembly Mr.<br />

Subas Chandra Nembang as the Chief Guest.<br />

One cannot possibly list all the events in the limited space of<br />

this editorial. Certainly we had a busy year and a year that<br />

was both interesting and exciting. As we move into the<br />

threshold of the new academic year, what is more important<br />

for us is that our raison d’ etre remains as relevant as ever,<br />

and our tasks unfulfilled. Education will continue to impact on<br />

humanity and determine its progress. It will have meaning and<br />

purpose until such time civilization ceases to exist.<br />

So our task continues ad infinitum; without limit and for ever.<br />

Let us brace up and be up to the task.<br />

Youth as Nation Builders<br />

You are young only once,<br />

and if you work it right,<br />

once is enough’, so said<br />

Joe F. Lewis.<br />

The term nation-building usually<br />

refers to a constructive process of<br />

engaging all citizens for social<br />

cohesion in a democratically<br />

inclusive manner to achieve the<br />

desired economic prosperity and<br />

political stability. Here it is important<br />

to note that skilled manpower is a<br />

sin qua non for nation-building. And<br />

this skilled manpower embodies the<br />

experience of trained veterans and<br />

the fresh exuberance and dynamism<br />

of youths.<br />

A nation is built out of collective<br />

human intellect and concentrated<br />

effort. This can be confirmed by<br />

the fact that many countries are able<br />

to attain steady growth and<br />

development with limited natural<br />

resources through the intelligence<br />

of their people and the integrity and<br />

industry of their labour force.<br />

Youths are considered social assets<br />

and they occupy a crucial place in<br />

the unfolding saga of a nation. Their<br />

contribution is acutely needed and<br />

valued by every nation.<br />

Young minds can work more<br />

ingeniously than tired minds. The<br />

pattern of new thoughts and ideas<br />

which spring up in young minds can<br />

bring about a wind of<br />

transformational change in our<br />

societies. Youths are referred to as<br />

the future of a nation. This to my<br />

mind is a fallacy. How can we forget<br />

that they are as much a part of the<br />

present? So it is said that youths are<br />

not only the leaders of tomorrow but<br />

also the partners of today.<br />

Overlooking the youths or ignoring<br />

their potential today by deeming<br />

The mystery refers to unusual<br />

disappearances of a number<br />

of aircrafts and surface<br />

vessels around the area somewhere<br />

on the Atlantic coast of Miami,<br />

Pureto Rico and the mid Atlantic<br />

island of Bermuda. This area is<br />

located in the south eastern Atlantic<br />

coast of the United States of<br />

America. It has been famous for a<br />

high incidence of losses of boats,<br />

ships and even aircrafts. But the<br />

area did not receive the nickname<br />

until 1964 although reports of<br />

bizarre happenings had been<br />

recorded for many years. Over 200<br />

incidents have been attributed to the<br />

area so far. The area was christened<br />

the ‘Bermuda Triangle’ by Vincent<br />

Gaddis in 1964. It is also known as<br />

the ‘Devil’s Triangle’. In 1974 the<br />

novel by its name became a best<br />

seller although it was based merely<br />

on exciting imagination that was<br />

thoroughly inaccurate.<br />

The triangle became a legend in<br />

1945 when five navy planes, known<br />

as flight 19, disappeared<br />

mysteriously in the area while on a<br />

routine training mission. A rescue<br />

plane sent on a search mission also<br />

disappeared. Six planes and 27 men<br />

were gone without a trace.<br />

Many interesting theories have been<br />

them as assets of tomorrow only can<br />

be a ruinous mistake. Empowering<br />

them and engaging them in<br />

constructive pursuits today could<br />

very well be the harbinger of a better<br />

tomorrow for the nation.<br />

Many scholars opine that time is not<br />

evaluated by what has been<br />

harvested but by what has been<br />

planted. They also say that investing<br />

in a child is the best investment.<br />

Thus and so, instead of drying out<br />

every little bit of natural resource,<br />

non-renewable more so in the name<br />

of progress, it would perhaps be<br />

wise to invest in the development<br />

of youths. Both the government and<br />

society at large have equal<br />

responsibility to provide avenues for<br />

the holistic growth of the population<br />

through total quality education and<br />

create opportunities for their<br />

individual improvement and<br />

collective national betterment.<br />

Here one can clearly feel the need<br />

for a comprehensive national youth<br />

development policy, national youth<br />

service scheme and such other youth<br />

related programmes.<br />

A point to note, however, is the fact<br />

that policies and structures by<br />

themselves mean little if youths do<br />

not demonstrate the required<br />

purpose and inclination to make<br />

their best use. The younger<br />

generation must, therefore, be ready<br />

and willing to take any opportunity<br />

that might come their way. It is the<br />

reality of the world that all youths<br />

cannot end up occupying executive<br />

chairs and working in posh offices<br />

with state-of-the-art facilities. It is<br />

fine if white-collar jobs come your<br />

way. What, if they don’t? There is<br />

dignity in every labour. So it is<br />

important that youths be prepared<br />

to take up vocational education and<br />

The Mystery of Bermuda Triangle<br />

advanced to explain the<br />

disappearances like the machinations<br />

of enormous sea monsters, giant<br />

squid or the power of extraterrestrials.<br />

Alien abductions and<br />

ocean flatulence, i.e., the sudden<br />

release of great quantities of trapped<br />

methane in the ocean have also been<br />

suggested as possible causes.<br />

But the reasons, many say, is much<br />

simpler. Compass variation is one<br />

of the cited causes for the Triangle<br />

incidents. However, there is nothing<br />

mysterious about a compass<br />

changing across the Triangle area.<br />

The reality is that there is compass<br />

variation in the magnetic (compass)<br />

north and the geographic north in<br />

many places across the world.<br />

These disappearances have got to do<br />

more with the environmental factor<br />

like the treacherous Mother Nature,<br />

human error, inferior craftsmanship<br />

or design of sea vessels,<br />

inexperience and lack of skill of<br />

crew and even plain bad luck.<br />

Accidents do happen and will<br />

continue to happen. If we do not<br />

avoid studying minutely the<br />

circumstances leading to such<br />

disappearances, we may perhaps be<br />

able to uncover the mystery behind<br />

the Bermuda Mystery.<br />

Subhechha Khatri, VIII ‘B’<br />

train as junior level<br />

technicians in<br />

different fields and be<br />

the engine of national<br />

growth.<br />

Any economy cannot be considered<br />

prosperous with the growth of one<br />

isolated sector. For the economy to<br />

stand strong, overall progress in<br />

every area is essential. And for this<br />

to happen every youth must<br />

engender in her or him the value that<br />

every job is important. Equally<br />

imperative it is for their parents to<br />

understand the fact that there is no<br />

work that is more or less important.<br />

All the vocations hold equal<br />

significance seen in the larger<br />

context of national development.<br />

As per Pearl S. Buck, a Nobel<br />

laureate in literature, ‘The young do<br />

not know enough to be prudent, and<br />

therefore they attempt the impossible<br />

and achieve it, generation after<br />

generation.’ The significance here is<br />

clear: the youths are go-getters, they<br />

are achievers. And the nation<br />

advances on their achievement. So<br />

the effort put in by youths is<br />

invaluable for the onward march of<br />

a nation. If we are to imagine an ideal<br />

world, I believe it is one where adults<br />

and young – combined might of a<br />

nation – work together and build a<br />

thriving society from ground up<br />

where there is no hunger, no<br />

illiteracy, no discrimination but equal<br />

opportunity for every one and where<br />

there is no poverty but enough for<br />

all and where there no insecurity, fear<br />

and violence but peace. Youths hold<br />

the capacity to help realize it and<br />

therein lies the power behind the<br />

potential role of youths as nation<br />

builders. Viva la youth!<br />

Shashank Bista, XI ‘Sc.’<br />

Teenage<br />

You spend your time being gay<br />

It’s your life’s greatest day<br />

Your life is full of mischief<br />

And passing from joy and grief<br />

You end up your teen<br />

become right<br />

The best memories that keep you<br />

Awake the whole night<br />

Good becomes better<br />

And better the best<br />

Oh! What wonderful days<br />

When you forget about the rest<br />

Your heart is filled with fun<br />

With lessons that you‘ll ever learn<br />

Hello and Hi!<br />

Smiles and laughter<br />

Fun with friends<br />

Happiness that never ends<br />

You understand the meaning of life<br />

Preservation of National Cultural Heritage :<br />

a Challenge of Glo<strong>bal</strong>isation<br />

National cultural heritage &<br />

how to preserve them is a<br />

much talked about subject<br />

and in the forefront of national<br />

debate in many countries.<br />

Glo<strong>bal</strong>isation has given it a greater<br />

urgency. Preservation of national<br />

cultural heritage has indeed become<br />

a major challenge in today’s context.<br />

But if we value our national culture,<br />

we must be able to overcome the<br />

challenge and protect our identity at<br />

My Best<br />

Friends<br />

We all make friends and in<br />

our life we make a<br />

number of them. But it is<br />

very difficult to discover who your<br />

true friends are. I consider myself<br />

lucky to have been born to my<br />

parents. I feel blessed to have some<br />

special persons around me without<br />

whom my life would not be<br />

complete. There are five people in<br />

my life who have been a positive<br />

influence on me. They touch not<br />

only my heart but also my soul.<br />

They are my best friends.<br />

I say best friends because they know<br />

instantly if there is something wrong<br />

with me. Even my bright face and<br />

biggest smile cannot deceive them.<br />

They are my own image. I have them<br />

with me in times good. But more<br />

importantly they are there for me<br />

when I am down and out. They are<br />

the ones who walk in when rest of<br />

the world walks out. I would rather<br />

walk with them in the dark than walk<br />

alone in bright light. I value their<br />

worth more than that of a thousand<br />

relatives. They understand my inner<br />

self. When I am afraid to look back<br />

for fear of the pain it may cause me<br />

and I am scared to look up front for<br />

a lack of self-belief, I know I can look<br />

beside me and I can find these five<br />

well by my side.<br />

My companions may appreciate<br />

some good qualities in me but these<br />

five love me despite them. They tell<br />

me my faults, and make me realize<br />

my mistakes. How lucky I am that I<br />

have these close friends who<br />

overlook my faults and rejoice in my<br />

success. They are always honest<br />

with me even though the truth may<br />

not be what I want to hear. They are<br />

always there to support me and<br />

encourage me and I know in times<br />

bad I have their shoulders to lean<br />

on. I share my secrets with them,<br />

and they understand my fears and<br />

share my dreams.<br />

I wonder sometimes if distance or<br />

any adversity may separate me from<br />

them. Again I say how that can be<br />

possible when I am always in their<br />

heart. They are the sunshine of my<br />

life. Just like a continual circle, I<br />

wish to remain with them endlessly.<br />

I love these five very much and if<br />

you wonder who these five are, they<br />

are my mom, dad, my teacher,<br />

Prabha Vaidya and Inosha Karki. I<br />

heartily thank them all for being so<br />

good to me.<br />

Barsha Shrestha, VIII ‘B’<br />

the same time.<br />

What are national cultural<br />

heritage? People may define it in<br />

many ways. Each one has a<br />

perspective about what it is and<br />

what it should be. To put it simply,<br />

in my view, national cultural<br />

heritage is the lifestyle, culture,<br />

architecture and structures that<br />

define a place and its people. For<br />

instance, Paris is defined by the<br />

Eiffel Tower, Red Indians by their<br />

unique dress and lifestyles and<br />

Maoris in New Zealand by distinct<br />

culture rich in mythology and their<br />

distinctive crafts and performing<br />

arts. And we are known by our rich<br />

cultural values, ancient heritage<br />

and splendid architecture.<br />

hen comes glo<strong>bal</strong>ization. What is<br />

it? Glo<strong>bal</strong>isation is all about<br />

transformation. The world has<br />

shrunk in time and space. Thanks<br />

to science and the ever evolving<br />

information technology the world<br />

has become very small, and now it<br />

is common to hear people speak of<br />

the world as a ‘glo<strong>bal</strong> village’.<br />

Glo<strong>bal</strong>isation is thus a synonym for<br />

modernization.<br />

In the modern world we are all<br />

modernized. People, particularly<br />

the younger lot are found<br />

frequently questioning the<br />

existence and value of national<br />

heritage. They consider it more<br />

10 Excuses<br />

for Not Doing<br />

Home Work<br />

1. I knew we had to do it but I<br />

didn’t know that we had to<br />

bring it.<br />

2. My mother wrapped up my<br />

father’s tiffin in it.<br />

3. You asked us to save paper to<br />

save trees. So I didn’t do my<br />

homework and saved the<br />

whole forest.<br />

4. My ecologically conscious<br />

brother recycled it.<br />

5. My grandmother kept it in the<br />

puja room so that God could<br />

bless it. But by morning, God<br />

still hadn’t blessed it so I<br />

couldn’t bring it.<br />

6. Last night I did my homework<br />

so well that I hid it somewhere<br />

so that no one would steal it.<br />

But in the morning I could not<br />

find it.<br />

7. I keep thinking about doing it<br />

and when I woke up it was<br />

morning.<br />

8. I had done it so well that my<br />

father took it to his office today<br />

to show his friends what a<br />

clever son he had.<br />

9. My dog wanted to chew it up<br />

and you told us to be kind to<br />

animals so I let him.<br />

10. My father forbade me to watch<br />

TV and do my homework at<br />

the same time. So I sacrificed<br />

my homework.<br />

with time to embrace hip-hop<br />

culture and go for fast food.<br />

Protecting our national heritage for<br />

them is like watering our<br />

neighbours’ garden – a wasted<br />

effort. What will we get if we protect<br />

our national heritage? It is<br />

considered outdated, orthodox and<br />

something that has outlived its<br />

utility. Why not construct a mall or<br />

an amusement park that will<br />

generate more income? It should not<br />

matter even if it led to defacing a<br />

heritage site. That is the way it is<br />

now. I am not suggesting that we<br />

should not modernize. What I am<br />

saying is that in our bid to be seen<br />

as modern we must not ignore and<br />

forget things that matter to us and<br />

that have meaning to us.<br />

Have we ever given time to think<br />

why people go to visit a foreign<br />

country? Not for shopping,<br />

definitely. Venice has more than a<br />

million tourists visiting annually.<br />

Why? The city has its natural<br />

cultural heritage that is the envy of<br />

the world. Peru is famous for its<br />

Macchu Picchu. It is such heritage<br />

sites that draw people.<br />

Let me relate my recent experience<br />

of Darjeeling. There is this beautiful<br />

train called the Darjeeling Himalayan<br />

Railway popularly known as the Toy<br />

Train which snakes through the hills<br />

to Darjeeling from the plains of<br />

THREE<br />

PASSIONS<br />

Three passions have<br />

governed my life:<br />

The longings for love, the<br />

search for knowledge,<br />

And unbearable pity for the<br />

suffering of [humankind].<br />

Love brings ecstasy and<br />

relieves loneliness.<br />

In the union of love I have<br />

seen<br />

In a mystic miniature the<br />

prefiguring vision<br />

Of the heavens that saints and<br />

poets have imagined.<br />

With equal passion I have<br />

sought knowledge.<br />

I have wished to understand<br />

the hearts of [people].<br />

I have wished to know why<br />

the stars shine.<br />

Love and knowledge led<br />

upwards to the heavens,<br />

But always pity brought me<br />

back to earth;<br />

Cries of pain reverberated in<br />

my heart<br />

Of children in famine, of<br />

victims tortured<br />

And of old people left<br />

helpless.<br />

I long to alleviate the evil, but<br />

I cannot,<br />

And I too suffer.<br />

This has been my life; I found<br />

it worth living.<br />

BERTRAND RUSSELL<br />

Siliguri. This train powered by steam<br />

locomotives is in operation from the<br />

19 th century and is one of the highest<br />

located train tracks in the world. It is<br />

viewed with affection and enthusiasm<br />

by travelers to the region. But this<br />

train track, 2 ft. narrow gauge, loops<br />

and reverses through the vehicular<br />

route often bringing road traffic to a<br />

standstill causing much discomfort<br />

and irritation to passengers. So the<br />

people wanted the track to be<br />

removed. Darjeeling almost lost its<br />

most prized attraction to the pressure<br />

of glo<strong>bal</strong>ization. Fortunately, good<br />

sense prevailed and the rail remains<br />

on track, and continues to delight<br />

travelers to the area. This is one<br />

example of why preservation of<br />

national cultural heritage is a<br />

challenge of glo<strong>bal</strong>ization.<br />

Erosion of cultural values and Xerox<br />

lifestyles from the west is very much<br />

prevalent, particularly in developing<br />

society like ours. We can see people<br />

go to great lengths to look like blondes<br />

or resort to surgical measures to<br />

alternate their heredity characteristics.<br />

Most of us have become brand-cattle.<br />

We often feel ashamed of our cultural<br />

values and paint them with a wide<br />

brush as orthodox or even<br />

superstitious. One actually begins to<br />

wonder if the whole world will dress<br />

up the same way in another twenty or<br />

so year. Let us hope not.<br />

Nepal with its idyllic setting is a<br />

much sought after tourist<br />

Confusables<br />

Appraise is to estimate; apprise is<br />

to inform.<br />

Balmy means fragrant; barmy<br />

means crazy.<br />

Beret is a hat; a berry is a fruit.<br />

Hoard is a store; horde is a tribe.<br />

Ordinance is a decree; ordnance<br />

is weaponry.<br />

Scull is an oar: skull is a bone of<br />

the head.<br />

destination. And to add<br />

to the natural<br />

splendour we have our<br />

rich social, cultural<br />

and religious heritage.<br />

Many of our natural<br />

and historical sites are recognised<br />

in the UNESCO World Heritage list.<br />

Tourists from around the world<br />

come here to enjoy the scenic beauty<br />

of our land, trek in the mountains,<br />

climb the many peaks here, engage<br />

in adventure sport and stroll in the<br />

many squares that speak of our<br />

ancient heritage and visit the many<br />

religious sites. If all that we have to<br />

offer to foreign visitors were no<br />

longer to exist, do we get any one<br />

to visit our land?<br />

So it is important that our national<br />

cultural heritage is preserved. It is our<br />

heritage that gives us our identity and<br />

that is what has given us recognition<br />

in the world. We must be aware of<br />

this fact, and act now to keep away<br />

from the ghost of glo<strong>bal</strong>ization in so<br />

far as it seeks to undermine our value<br />

system and defile our culture and<br />

heritage in the name of<br />

modernization. Any differences that<br />

we may have must be set aside and<br />

all of us must work jointly before<br />

glo<strong>bal</strong>ization becomes too powerful<br />

an enemy and swallow what has all<br />

along been our pride - our common<br />

culture and our national heritage –<br />

and with it our identity.<br />

Samer Chhetri, XI ‘Sc.’<br />

HUMOR<br />

Going To A Lecture<br />

A man was so drunk that he<br />

was in no shape to drive. So<br />

he wisely left his car parked<br />

on a roadside and was<br />

walking home. As he was<br />

walking unsteadily along, he<br />

was stopped by a policeman.<br />

“What are you doing out<br />

here at two in the morning?”<br />

said the officer.<br />

“I’m going to a lecture”, said<br />

the man.<br />

Angrily the cop asked, “Who<br />

is going to give a lecture at<br />

this hour?”<br />

“My wife”, said the man.<br />

Damaging Food<br />

A dietician was once<br />

addressing a large audience<br />

in a city hall. He said, “The<br />

material we put into our<br />

stomachs is enough to have<br />

killed most of us sitting here<br />

years ago. Red meat is awful.<br />

Vegetables can be<br />

disastrous, and none of us<br />

realizes the germs in our<br />

drinking water. But there is<br />

one thing that is the most<br />

dangerous of all and we all of<br />

us eat it. Can anyone here<br />

tell me what lethal product<br />

I’m referring to? You, sir, in<br />

the first row, please give us<br />

your idea.”<br />

The man lowered his head<br />

and said, “Wedding Cake.”

Education Beyond Classroom<br />

In separate<br />

programmes, +2<br />

students of all<br />

three faculties -<br />

S c i e n c e ,<br />

Management and<br />

Humanities – were<br />

taken on an<br />

Excursion-cum-<br />

Study Tour to<br />

Panauti, Nagarkot<br />

and Bhaktapur.<br />

Students in the<br />

Winter Festival : 2010<br />

(annual + 2 Inter-House Competition)<br />

Every year, during the winter,<br />

+2 students at Gyanodaya<br />

engage in a wide range of<br />

field and track sports under the<br />

banner of Winter Festival. And<br />

this year too our students<br />

experienced the joy of sports<br />

spread over two venues - School<br />

compound at Sanepa and the<br />

extensive playing arena of the<br />

Gyanodaya Int’l Residential<br />

School at Bungamati, Khokana<br />

The closing of the event this year<br />

was held on 1 March coinciding<br />

with our Cultural Day in the<br />

Science faculty visited the<br />

Khopasi Hydel Project and the<br />

Panauti Sericulture Centre on 24<br />

September 2010. And this visit<br />

was intended to acquaint them<br />

with the technical details of<br />

hydro-electricity generation and<br />

the mechanism of silk<br />

production.<br />

Similarly, students of the<br />

Management and Humanities<br />

faculties visited Hotel Country<br />

Villa at Nagarkot and the<br />

Industrial Estate at Bhaktapur on<br />

29 December. The visit helped<br />

them gain exposure to<br />

international standard hotel<br />

business and acquire first hand<br />

practical knowledge of how<br />

hotels function, businesses are<br />

handled and industries run.<br />

The students found the visit<br />

enjoyable and educative. It gave<br />

them the opportunity to break<br />

away from the monotony of<br />

structured classroom routine and<br />

glean knowledge relating to their<br />

subjects through the practical<br />

experience of site visits.<br />

Annual Sports Day at Residential School<br />

– and over a period of three days<br />

from 5-7 December 2010.<br />

The Winter Festival, in its true<br />

sense, is an occasion for the<br />

students to demonstrate their<br />

endurance, strength, skill, speed<br />

and stamina. Students compete in<br />

a wide range of field sports –<br />

basket<strong>bal</strong>l, volley<strong>bal</strong>l and foot<strong>bal</strong>l<br />

– and track events involving<br />

sprint, jump and throw.<br />

Enthusiasm and participation<br />

from the students was particularly<br />

encouraging and satisfying. Since<br />

the events are organized as interhouse<br />

competitions, there is<br />

excitement, competition and the<br />

urge to excel for the ultimate<br />

prize. And that is the Inter-House<br />

Championship Trophy.<br />

presence of parents and invited<br />

guests. A major attraction of the<br />

Winter Festival for the students<br />

every year is the <strong>Final</strong>e Draw<br />

which is looked forward to with<br />

much hope and anticipation for the<br />

prizes it carries. So when the draw<br />

was over, one could see a sense<br />

of joy in the faces of those who<br />

won the prizes and<br />

disappointment, of course, among<br />

those who did not.<br />

The winners of the team and<br />

individual events were awarded<br />

certificates and medals by the<br />

Hon’ble Founder M’me Indira<br />

Yakthumba. In fact, certificates<br />

and prizes were also given by her<br />

on the day to those students who<br />

excelled in academics during the<br />

Second Term Examination.<br />

The Inter-House Championship<br />

Trophy this year was won by Red<br />

House with 168 points with<br />

Green House emerging as the<br />

Runners-Up.<br />

Gyanodaya Int’l<br />

Residential School held<br />

its annual sports day on<br />

12 February 2011 amidst lot of<br />

excitement in the presence of<br />

parents, invited guests and the<br />

School community. The day, in<br />

fact, marked the culmination of<br />

a week of preparation when<br />

preliminary contests and final<br />

heats were held among the<br />

competitors.<br />

The sports day showcased all<br />

fun games for the juniors and<br />

running,<br />

jumping<br />

a n d<br />

throwing<br />

events<br />

for students in the intermediate<br />

and senior category. If fun games<br />

comprised of sack race, threelegged<br />

race, bursting of the<br />

<strong>bal</strong>loons, picking up the sweets<br />

etc, the running, jumping and<br />

throwing events comprised of<br />

distance run including 4 x 100<br />

meter relay, high jump, long<br />

jump and shot-put for both boys<br />

and girls. Cycle race formed a<br />

common part of the competition<br />

for both boys and girls at all<br />

levels. In fact, the sports day<br />

began with the cycling event.<br />

One must say that through the<br />

week there was excitement and<br />

competitive spirit in the air. Eyes<br />

eager and expectant waited<br />

for the final day with much<br />

anticipation. It was the day<br />

when the best competed in<br />

the respective events to<br />

prove that they were one<br />

better than the best. And<br />

compete they did in the spirit<br />

of sport accepting victory<br />

and defeat as a part of sport.<br />

The winners were given<br />

certificates during the School<br />

Assembly by the Hon’ble<br />

Founder M’me Indira<br />

Yakthumba.

This year marked the 17 th<br />

edition of this annual<br />

event. A formal opening<br />

inter-school relationship.<br />

‘Towards Friendship…..’ is the<br />

motto of the carnival and<br />

throughout the tournament all the<br />

competitors upheld the carnival<br />

values.<br />

School in the girls’ final.<br />

Samakushi English Boarding<br />

School won the volley<strong>bal</strong>l<br />

championship defeating Deep<br />

contested match. Host<br />

Junior Invitational<br />

Foot<strong>bal</strong>l Tournament from 18 –<br />

28 February 2011. A total of six<br />

February in the presence of<br />

parents and invited guests.<br />

Egged on by the home support,<br />

the host team gave a good<br />

account of themselves<br />

ceremony on 5 December in the<br />

expansive locale of the<br />

Gyanodaya Int’l Residential<br />

School set the arena for over a<br />

week of competitive fiesta<br />

among the participating schools.<br />

We had more than thirty schools<br />

taking part in different<br />

competitions. Maj. Gen. (Retd.)<br />

Thakur Subba was the Chief<br />

Guest on the occasion.<br />

As the name suggests, the<br />

tournament was held in a carnival<br />

atmosphere with a mix of field<br />

sports. With so many teams in the<br />

fray, and each wanting to win the<br />

championship, the tournament<br />

represented a fine display of skill,<br />

endurance and ability in a<br />

competitive spirit of ask no<br />

quarter and yield no inch. But the<br />

contest was fair and the games<br />

were played in the true spirit of<br />

sportsmanship promoting<br />

friendship among the<br />

competitors and strengthening<br />

Arich pantheon of Gods and<br />

Goddesses is the hallmark of<br />

our religion. And we have a day<br />

dedicated to the worship of each<br />

of these Gods and Goddesses. In<br />

this sequence we had 8 February<br />

this year as the day dedicated to<br />

Goddess Saraswati regarded as<br />

the Goddess of Learning.<br />

With a strong sense of veneration,<br />

the students, both at Sanepa and<br />

Bungamati worshipped Goddess<br />

Saraswati invoking her blessings<br />

for their studies. A brief ritual<br />

was performed by our teachers of<br />

Nepali language where they<br />

recited mantras from the holy<br />

scripts and everyone joined in<br />

the prayer and recitation of the<br />

Saraswati Vandana. Flowers<br />

were offered and the image of the<br />

Goddess<br />

Worshipped with the<br />

Among the many events that<br />

are permanent fixtures in<br />

our annual academic<br />

calendar, FOOD FUN & MUSIC<br />

FESTIVAL, popularly known as<br />

The November Festival, is one<br />

important cog in the annual<br />

activity wheel of Gyanodaya. And<br />

the 2010 edition of this festival<br />

was held at the vast expanse of the<br />

Gyanodaya Int’l Residential<br />

School compound at Bungmati,<br />

Khokana, Lalitpur, on Saturday,<br />

27 November.<br />

Three basic human urge – food,<br />

fun and music – was on display in<br />

the festival. FOOD section had<br />

local and international delights –<br />

from the locally popular momos<br />

and Newari delicacies to a variety<br />

of Burmese noodles, American<br />

styled fast foods like Fried<br />

Chicken, Hamburger & BarBQ,<br />

Chatpataz Chat Masala and<br />

Panipuri, Calcutta Rolls and<br />

Briyani, in-house Gyanodaya<br />

speciality and many others catering<br />

to every<br />

taste.<br />

FUN there was in plenty; in fact,<br />

the stalls with a variety of games<br />

- wheel of fortune, dart, hoopla,<br />

car race, lucky dip, treasure hunt,<br />

hit the can, hungry tom, lucky<br />

seven - were crowded with people<br />

jostling for space. MUSIC<br />

segment had bands, nationally<br />

well-established and renowned as<br />

well as international, playing<br />

popular Nepali and English<br />

numbers creating a carnival<br />

ambience. The Festival also<br />

presented the KJC’s Big Band,<br />

the only Band in its category in<br />

teams participated in the<br />

tournament. Although the<br />

tournament was limited to a<br />

small number of teams, the<br />

games were played with much<br />

enthusiasm and competitive<br />

spirit. Played in the round robin<br />

format, each team played the<br />

other once in the tournament<br />

with the arrangement for the<br />

best two teams to qualify for the<br />

finals. And the two teams that<br />

eventually qualified for the<br />

finals after the hard fought<br />

contest in the round robin<br />

format were the host<br />

Gyanodaya Int’l Residential<br />

School (GIRS) and the Graded<br />

English Medium School<br />

(GEMS).<br />

South Asia.<br />

And in a departure from its<br />

previous editions, the festival<br />

this year also introduced X-<br />

Games with BMX Pump Track<br />

and abseiling supported by<br />

professionals of Chain<br />

Holdings and Initiative<br />

Outdoors. So it had something<br />

on offer even for the adventurous<br />

bent of mind. This initiative was<br />

in line with the message of healthy<br />

life and a Greener Nepal that this<br />

festival seeks to promote.<br />

The November Festival thus is<br />

more than a carnival offering<br />

unbridled joy and excitement to<br />

every one. So it holds the power<br />

to attract large crowds of every age<br />

displaying pretty neat soccer<br />

skills and attacking their rival’s<br />

citadel initially on several<br />

occasions. But unfortunately<br />

they were not able to convert<br />

their chances into goals. And<br />

the opposing team slowly<br />

gained in confidence and<br />

displayed some gritty defensive<br />

play and attacking play. In the<br />

hard played final, the visiting<br />

team GEMS eventually got the<br />

better of the host GIRS winning<br />

the final with a 2 – 0 margin.<br />

promise to<br />

deliver<br />

something of<br />

interest to<br />

everyone<br />

cutting<br />

across all age<br />

groups. And<br />

t h e<br />

November<br />

Festival<br />

surely did.<br />

We had a<br />

huge crowd<br />

of around<br />

1 0 0 0 0<br />

people from<br />

various<br />

walks of life<br />

including<br />

students<br />

f r o m<br />

different schools and colleges in<br />

the valley who soaked in the<br />

excitement of the festival.<br />

Initially held on a smaller scale, it<br />

has since 2007 developed into a<br />

full-fledged festival with an<br />

elegant blend of food, attractive<br />

mix of fun and a synthesis of<br />

music, and adventure sports too<br />

from this year.

Oct. '10 - March '11<br />

Gyanodayans in Residence on X-cursion<br />

Education away from the<br />

drudgery of the classroom;<br />

yes, that is what this<br />

excursion for three nights and four<br />

days to Hetauda and Lumbini<br />

meant for the SLC bound<br />

residential students. The tour was<br />

organized for them by the School<br />

from 7-10 February 2011 and it<br />

combined education with pleasure.<br />

The students visited the Cement<br />

Factory and the Forestry College<br />

during their stay at Hetauda. At the<br />

cement factory, the students were<br />

taken on a guided tour where they<br />

saw different sets of machines and<br />

rotating kiln and learnt about the<br />

minerals and chemical<br />

composition used in the making of<br />

cement and the process of how<br />

they were mechanically packed to<br />

the size in plastic coated jute bags.<br />

While in the Forestry College, the<br />

Move close to the end of<br />

the academic year and<br />

it is time for the final<br />

But in a departure from this<br />

customary routine, the<br />

administration at the Gyanodaya<br />

Int’l Residential School<br />

authorities briefed them about biodiversity<br />

and its importance to plant<br />

and animal life, on endangered<br />

plant and animal species,<br />

watershed management, logging<br />

industry and medicinal plants and<br />

herbs found in Nepal. They also<br />

learnt about the impact of<br />

deforestation on the environment<br />

and how its effect could be<br />

countered by planting more trees.<br />

At the holy site of Lumbini, they<br />

learnt about the Lumbini<br />

Development Project and the<br />

contribution of many friendly<br />

countries, particularly the<br />

Buddhist nations in the<br />

development of the area as a<br />

pilgrimage site. They saw a<br />

number of historical relics<br />

connected with the life of Buddha,<br />

and visited the Maya Devi Temple<br />

and saw the Ashoka Pillar.<br />

The students found the outing at<br />

the historical and religious site of<br />

Lumbini and the natural world<br />

with lush green vegetation and a<br />

rich variety of flora and fauna at<br />

Hetauda a welcome escape from<br />

the monotony of a tedious School<br />

routine. And when they returned,<br />

there was a palpable enthusiasm<br />

in all of them to get on with their<br />

SLC preparation with greater<br />

vigor and earnestness.<br />
