“Your success and happiness lies in you. Resolve to keep happy, and your joy and you will form an invincible host against

difficulties.” – Helen Keller

Oftentimes, our propensity to, to use a popular phrase, remain caught

in the rut, to seek the comfort and solace of a mundane routine to keep

our lives well-oiled, forbids us to look for an inventory that would

truly offer us a meaningful life. However, as Craig D. Lounsbrough so

wisely puts it, “The miracle is that the brilliance of the miraculous can

live in the blandness of the mundane.” The most valued adventures

lie in pushing the boundaries of quotidian life to enjoy the fruits of

some of the richest of experiences. These not only acquaint us with the

rare lessons for life, but also encourage us to explore dimensions

where our truest self is revealed in our actions.

The life of a student in the contemporary society, trapped in a vicious

circle of familial and societal expectations on the one hand and the

ponderous weight of academic rigour, is narrated by a series of

inevitable frustrations. They also have an obligation to prove

themselves to the unceasing expectations of a tech curated world.

Such an institutionalized approach to life stifles the spontaneous

bursts of creative expression and disregards the gifts of inner peace

and joy that constitute the very core of our soul. Healthy stress is a

natural part of life, for it offers us beneficial challenges to grow and

develop as individuals. However, in the modern education system,

where the demands consistently outpace our ability to cope with

them, healthy stress is frequently displaced by toxic stress.

As essential as it is to seek the success of the outer world, it is also

necessary to look inward in order to discover the reservoir that carries

the greatest source of peace and happiness. We must slow down the

pace of our hectic lives, and embrace the spirit of mindfulness, for it

not only restores a sense of calm and tranquility, but also counteracts

stress and anxiety, improving our self-esteem and self-regulation,

and in the process, the very quality of our life.

Best WishesMrs. Anjali Kotnala

These words by Abraham Lincoln aptly describe the responsibility all educationists shoulder to shape the future of their students.

The word motivation originates from the Latin word 'movere'-which

means 'to move'.Manouvering a child's efforts in the direction of

excellence is imperative. In order to enable them to meet the

challenges of globalised society it is needed to have a self-disciplined

life style that would lay foundation for persistence, commitment and

consistency in academic pursuits. The pivot ingredient for students'

success lies in using their energy in a constructive way and enable

them to aim higher by seizing the opportunities that come their way.

For this they need to focus on three Es of education –excellence, ethics

and engagement. So many of us have heroes, leaders, artists or

entrepreneurs that inspire us. People who have made an impact,

people who have shown us a better way, people who have overcome

outrageous odds. They all possess vision, dream and goal which is

invisible to all the world except the person holding it, is responsible

for perhaps every great advance and achievement of humankind. It's

been said that what the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve.

E. Paul Torrance wrote a famous piece called “The Importance of

Falling in Love With 'Something,'” in which he tells young people:

Follow the path that most calls to you, resist the pressures of others,

celebrate and enjoy your greatest strengths. Success doesn't lie in the

achievement of a goal, although that's what the world considers

success; it lies in the journey towards the goal. We're successful as

long as we're working towards something we want to bring about in

our lives. That's what Cervantes meant when he wrote, “The road is

better than the inn.” We're at our best when we're climbing, thinking,

planning, working. Dear Rukminians always remember the words as

Barack Obama aptly puts it ,“Keep exploring. Keep dreaming. Keep

asking why. Don't settle for what you already know. Never stop

believing in the power of your ideas, your imagination, your hard

work to change the world.”

Best Wishes

Another excellent academic session takes a bow, and it is now time to beckon the merry winds of the next session and

discover the rich harvest it has in store for us. Welcome to the beginning of another eventful academic year 2018-19! Our

hearts fill with joy and pride when we reminisce all our glorious triumphs and accomplishments in the past six months,

and in spirit of the tradition that the Rukminians have set for their successors, gladly expect ourselves to be inundated by

another colossal gift of success. The passion, grit and the indomitable spirit that defines

the personalities of all Rukminians will surely fuel their desires and ambitions and

encourage them to undertake the fiercest academic and co-curricular adventures. Our

biannual 'Reflections' is a proud testimony to our students' flourishing success. As we

unveil a new edition of the school newsletter, we proudly congratulate all our pupils who

have demonstrated an outstanding performance and kept the school's tradition of

rewriting success alive by scaling newer heights.

Some of my fondest memories as a young school boy involve eagerly waiting for the latest issue of 'Reflections', flipping through its pages excitedly once it arrived, cheering for the triumphs of my schoolmates, and reminiscing all the wonderful events that were organized in the school. For, 'Reflections' is much more than the biannual newsletter of our school. Every inch of the newsletter throbs with the rhythm of activities that celebrate the diversity of talents, pursuits and interests that champion the creative momentum of the school. We are fortunate to remain in close proximity to a vast multitude of opportunities, both at national and international forums, thanks to the numerous initiatives taken by the school to flourish their numbers. 'Reflections' is a powerful reminder of rich fruits gifted to us when we work tirelessly with these opportunities to fine-tune and enhance our cognitive, physical and aesthetic potentials.

Shivam KotnalaXII C

David Brinkley pertinently quoted,” A successful man is one

who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks others have

thrown at him.” These words precisely reflect the strength of

dedication and commitment in our lives. We humans are god-

gifted because we are able to comprehend things from a very

early stage and our school has provided its

with a plethora of opportunities. 'Reflections',

the biannual newsletter of RDPS is a

testimony to the hard work of the students.

The newsletter not only appreciates the

achievements of our Rukminians, but also

motivates young neophytes to set prodigious

milestones and acts as a stunning repository of

their creative endeavours.

Success is no accident. It is perseverance, learning, studying, sacrificing and most of all, love of what you are doing or learning to do.The child is a born researcher and it's the school that expands the capacities and makes the child passionate to grasp more knowledge. Same happens here, RDPS offers the students diverse range of opportunities to nurture and articulate their skills. It provides a platform to showcase our capabilities and stand out different from the throng because of our personality. RDPS also provides an opportunity to the students to share their achievements in REFLECTIONS, the bi-annual school newsletter. Flipping through its pages, makes us proud and inspires us to add to its glory by bringing more laurels. It's a subject of prestige to be part of such an esteemed educational institution that believes education is not just about going to school and getting a degree, it's about widening our knowledge and absorbing the truth of life.

Learning Beyond Classrooms

The old school model of passively learning facts and reciting them out of context is no longer sufficient to prepare student's to survive in today's world. It is essential for students to learn skills such as team work, problem solving, research gathering, t ime management, information synthesizing, utilizing digital tools. Annual IT Project is extra co-curricular program for young Rukminians which walks in alignment with the 21st century skill requirement. It is three year journey from class V to VII to make students independent learners and of their learning process.Annual IT Project is mandatory for all students from class V to VII. Under its umbrella student's take up projects in group of four and compete the project in two phases. First, the students collect data from books, magazines, internet, encyclopedias, newspaper and

journals.

Collaborative Projects at RDPS

Collaboration is just like any other skill and is one of the most

sought after in workplace and education. In light of the same

Collaborative project is an effort by Rukmini Devi Public School to

facilitate young Rukminians to collaborate with fears around the

globe. These projects helped students to think more deeply,

creatively and develop empathy for others perspectives.

Collaborative Projects are mandatory for all students of class VIII.

The Collaborative project is a combination of interactive based

and survey based project which gives students platform to reach

their peers across the globe through internet. Utilizing the digital

platform students can communicate with students across globe

and become responsible global citizen. These projects help

students to explore, understand and appreciate diverse cultures

and promote interdisciplinary curriculum.

Approximately 172 students of class VIII participated in

collaborative projects. They interacted with students all across the

globe such as Canada, Russia, UK, Netherlands, USA, etc. on

project topics such as sustainable development, My

Neighborhood, Food for Thought, Beauty in their part of the world

with the help of videos, Ppt. etc. The method of communication

was through online communication, VC session and survey based.

Videoconferencing helped students to communicate with their

feers face to face at different locations and provided them with a

global exposure. VC session with Russia on topic “ We the

teenagers and with UK on topic “ Sustainable Development” ,

helped students to understand culture and tradition of the

country. Also students came up with beautiful videos to share

with the country partners.

Collaborative projects focuses on developing analytical minds of

students. Survey projects such as ‘Down the Drain’ provided a

platform to students to churn their analytical skills by calculating

the average per day per person water usage and comparing the

same with the data available of various countries on the ciese

website.

Delicious and healthy food is necessary for young minds. Students

prepared creative videos and presentation on the food categories

such as Indian breads, local customs and celebration food. These

were shared with World Class Schools forum.

Students of class VIII explored the ten countries of UTN by

studying History and Geography, Art and Entertainment, Sports

and Leisure, social, political and current affairs. This was an

attempt to know detailed knowledge of their respective

countries. Also, students prepared a multiple choice question on

India, as per the difficulty level of UTN quiz.

Altogether, Collaborative Projects gave students the opportunity

to move out of their domain and explore new digital tools and

communicate with their peers applying what they have learnt in

different subject in integrated manner.

Cognitive Domain “Children must be taught how to think, not what to think.” -Albert EinsteinRDPS believes that the goal of education is not to increase the amount of knowledge but to create the possibilities for a child to invent and discover, to create individuals who are capable of doing new things. The wider the range of possibilities we offer the children, the more intense will be their motivation and the richer their experiences. The activities thus planned aims to kindle a strong desire in Rukminians to learn and explore in order to awaken in their hearts a joy of creative expression and knowledge. The workshops, visits and seminars give students and staff an opportunity to keep themselves abreast of changes and let the flame of learning stay ignited forever.

The group visited Indian heritage sites such as Qutub Minar, Red Fort, India Gate, Lotus Temple and Taj Mahal, among others. This cultural exposure not only gave them a platform to learn about the Indian history, art, architecture,

culture, and education system but also allowed them to acknowledge and appreciate our cultural diversity.

Shreya Mukhi (12.08.2001-16.04.2019)

Condolence MessageThe Rukminian family grieves the sad and untimely demise of Shreya Mukhi, student of class XII

session 2018-19. She was an extraordinary brilliant student imbibed with deep rooted moral values.

Her unfortunate and sudden departure is not only a great loss to the family members but also to the

school. May Almighty give rest and peace to the departed soul and strength to the family to bear this

irreparable loss.

Kashish Bansal (IX C)

Student CornerStudent CornerStudent CornerLife for Nation

A sister crying for her brother

A son's body in front of his mother

Aren't they deserve a better life?

Where a husband has forever left his wife

Someone you don't know dies for the nation.

Their families' pain and fear… you have no clue.

Its easy to take out their flows

But those poor lives are full of loss.

They die for their nation

But they need to keep patience.

They for their nation's pride die

Their corpses in the battle ground lie

A father can only feel the pain of losing a son

An enemy shoots our soldier with a gun

But this one won't go on for a long run

In front of our bravery they wont' stand

We will unfurl our nation's flag on their land

We are proud of those mind's beauty

They chose to protect the nation as their duty.

Our nation's soldiers will never bow.

They will take revenge for their dead fellow

A terrorist attack kills many

But a single surgical strike won't let regrets any

The strength is what our beloved soldiers will

showcase

They will ruin their enemy from their base

If a soldier gives up his life in war

He doesn't regret but thinks he has opened the

heaven's door

He doesn't feel at all sad

But he requests for one thing to his dad

He requests his dad not to cry

Because he was happy to die.

They love their mother nation and so we should

do,

And plead to God to protect them.

'O God ! Please do'.

Perception is Man's Last Freedom"He who has a way to live can bear with almost any how" -

Friedrich Nietzsche

A person who has nothing to live for prefers death but

someone who has something to live for can endure almost

anything. The evidence of the quote can be extracted from

'Man's Search for Meaning' by Dr. Viktor Frankl. The book

offers an invaluable resource for the thoughtful seekers

searching for a way through adversity and answers to some

of life's most important questions.

Dr. Frankl from his experiences of the concentration camps

states that prisoners were handed like cattle, they starved and

were tortured. For them, morning became a horrible

nightmare and night a beautiful reality. Because it was only in

their dream that they would forget the reality of the camps.

The Nazi period is known as the most dreadful era in the

entire history, but still in such a dreadful situation where

there was abuse, disease, torture, famine and mental

suffering, people chose to live. Most of them were murdered

and some committed suicide but those who did not, I wonder

what stopped them from quitting ? The answer is that they

had a reason to live, a purpose that gave them hope to live.

Some were eagerly waiting to reunite with their family. These

prisoners devoted themselves to something they consider is

greater than themselves and this motivated them to live.

Viktor Frankl said that , "Everything can be taken from a man

but one thing, the last of human freedoms to choose one's

attitude in any given set of circumstances ,to choose one's

own way." Where we are not able to change the situation we

are forced to change ourselves. It's only till the line we are

alive we have the potential to change, If not the situation, then

our attitude. If those prisoner's could find a purpose to live for

in that dreadful era, then we can do it too. When we are

devoted to something greater than ourselves, we are satisfied

even in the most terrible situations.

"A life with a meaning is a life worth living."

Have you ever thoughtHow are we safeIt is because of those who foughtOn the border were brave

They were, they areAnd they will beConstant as the northern starSo that live sound life we

They are our soldiersThe true loyals to their countryThe real nation serversMotherland's protection is their sacred duty

Their life span is not so sureSalute to a soul so pureDeath on the door might come the next secondYet they act as a shield every second

Away from their familyThey forever stayDevoting everything to mother countryConquer the opponent in every single way.

Through the fort's edge I scoped A dusty sheath of smoke had my view blockedAll I could see were the birds that flocked After a second or two I saw them beating their drums and on their horses they galloped We were heavily outnumbered more than we could've fathomed. The crowd boomed...With fury in their eyes they fumedAnd post the Conch they resumedThe victory was theirs they had assumedWe knew to die in this battle were we doomedYet in our hearts a seed of hope still bloomed...I fastened myself and into the messaging station I turned...The weather was beautiful, the golden sky and the

golden sound was tunedScattered winds blew...In the sky the birds flew.And soon we were reduced to a handful few...As the war grew,We became few, fewer and few.And than it was just me among those few...As those steps thundered, those ominous winds blew...And with my hands I wrote this letter before from the fort's edge it flew.

Ich hing meinenTraumfänger vor meinem Schlafzimmer,Sah seine glitzern den Perlen sparkle mit dem Sonnenschein, Vorgebildet von ihrer schwanken den Feder, Träumen davon, durch den Himmel zuschießen,und in jeder Nacht, wenn ich meinen Kopf auf mein Kissen legte, Fühlte die heilige Schönheit in der StilleMeines Geistes in der Stille. Ein Wunsch, ein Traum, der zärtlich in Zwillinge gehüllt ist. Die Schützen gräben, die es mir antriebUnd ich folgte blind, Nur um über wältigt zu werden.Tausend an mutige und begeistert Bewegungen, fand ich mich wirbelnmit den schillern den orangefarbenen Bändern des Nachmittagshimmelswehen mit den Vögeln.

Wo niemand ist arm oder reich

Ein Land wo alle wohnen glücklich

INDISCHE KULTUR

Die Kultur Indiens ist eine Mischung aus unverwechselbaren Kulturen aller Religionen und Gemeinschaften in unserer nation. Indien ist beliebt für seine reiche Kultur und Erbe auf der ganzen Welt. Menschen in Indien Folgen bestimmten Traditionen aus mehreren Jahrzehnten, die auch in der Neuzeit prominent sind. Es gibt verschiedene Bräuche und Traditionen von Menschen in Indien wie die einzigartige Art und Weise, in der Menschen einander GRÜßEN gefolgt. Gruß mit ,,Namaste'' ist einer der beliebtesten Bräuche in Indien. Es ist eine der ältesten und traditionellsten Formen der Grüße in Veden und Hindu-Schriften erwähnt. Es ist die gebräuchlichste und konventionellste Begrüßung, wenn Menschen sich treffen oder sich verabschieden. Eine andere Art, in Indien am häufigsten zu GRÜßEN, ist ,,Charana-Spärlich'', d.h. die Füße der ältesten berühren. Es ist der häufigste Weg in Indien, den ältesten Respekt zu zeigen. Der Brauch ist alt und wird auch heute noch befolgt.

Indianer Folgen auch dem einzigartigen Brauch der Begrüßung mit Blumengirlanden. Es ist eine tradition, Girlande vor einem Gast oder einer respektablen Persönlichkeit anzubieten. Auch die Ausländer werden manchmal mit Blumengirlanden begrüßt und sind überwältigt von der Art von Liebe und Respekt, die Sie in Indien erhalten. Es ist ein bescheidener Akt der Bewunderung, und das ist der Geist Indiens.

Daher ist Liebe und Respekt explizit sehr wesentlicher Teil der indischen Kultur. Es ist die Essenz Indiens. Obwohl es eine Menge transformation in den Kulturen, Traditionen, Werten und überzeugungen der Menschen in Indien in der Neuzeit gibt, sind einige der reichen indischen Bräuche in Indien immer noch prominent und haben große Bedeutung · Nandini Achhra

Mein mystischerTraumfänger

-Und unter der Menge -Ich sah ein kleines Mädchen Zweifellos -Und was für ein schönes Mädchen war sie wirklich -Ihr Gesicht strahlte heller als der Mond diese Nacht-Ich glaube, sie hat alle ewigen Kräfte -Diese Anmut und dieser Charme waren ein visueller Genuss -Aber was war falsch, ich weiß es immer noch nicht -Warum diese roten Lippen so traurig wirkten -Warum schwieg sie, wenn sie wollte sprechen-Ich bin mir immer noch nicht sicher, welche Worte sie hatte.-Und tief in ihren Augen sah ich sie kurz und Schrei-Ganz alleine in einem schwarzen Käfig -Wie hoffnungslos, verzweifelt hätte sie sich gefühlt -Einige Angst hielt sie sicher zurück.-In einem zerrissenen Kleid sah sie alles aus um-Sie verwundet wie, aber wer weiß warum -Sie versteckte ihre Worte, Gefühle und Schuld -In der Stille stand sie, sie hat nicht geweint -Und wie schade, muss ich sagen -Ihre einzige Freundin war ihr altes Wrack Spielzeug-Er sprach ohne Worte mit ihr und -Er war der einzige, dem sie gefallen konnte oder nerven -Dann blitzschnell unter der Menge -Eine grausame Hand packte sie zärtlich Hand-Lautlos ging sie einfach weg, aber ihr Spielzeug Um Hilfe geweint, im Sand liegend -Ich lief ihr nach, aber sie war gegangen -Ich öffnete die Augen und war überrascht-Jetzt frage ich mich, war es nur ein Alptraum-Und wenn sie jemals wiederkommen würde

FRANÇAISFRANÇAISFRANÇAIS"Le bonheur c'est lorsque nos pensées, nos paroles et nos actes sont en harmonie"

L'adolescence Le mot vient du verbe latin adolescere qui signifie grandir ou entrer dans l'âge adulte. On quitte une vie joyeuse et sans soucis pour les dures réalités

de la vie. Parce qu'on se construit sa propre identité et que cela ne se fait généralement pas sans douleur. Parce qu'on est à la recherche de

reconnaissance, qu'on a besoin de se sentir exister, et qu'on a l'impression que personne ne

nous comprend, qu'on est inutile et futile. Pour certains, ça se passe très bien parce qu'ils en

parlent autour d'eux avec leurs parents ou leurs amis. Et d'autres gardent leur mal-être au

fond d'eux même, et s'auto détruisent et en viennent à vouloir quitter cette Terre. D'où

l'importance de parler de ce qu'on ressent !

L'adolescence est la meilleure étape de la vie humaine. Malgré qu'elle soit

courte, si on essaie de l'écrire, nous allons écrire le plus long chapitre du

livre: les étapes de la vie humaine. C'est à cette époque que notre corps est

en pleine maturité, Notre personnalité commence à se forger, on

découvre la conception du vrai amour, l'amour qui fait pleurer. On

commence à avoir des problèmes sérieux avec notre entourage. Mais

toutes ces actions successives, on les garde par la suite comme souvenirs,

des souvenirs qui vont nous accompagner tout le reste de notre vie.

Notré santé est à nousLe mot santé vient du mot "sain". Quand votre corps, votre mental, vos émotions, vos énergies sont en phase les uns avec les autres, et que vous vous sentez sain intérieurement, c'est là que vous vous sentez en bonne santé. Un grand nombre de personnes dans le monde, y compris beaucoup de ceux qui sont considérés médicalement en bonne santé, ne sont pas en bonne santé. Ils n'ont peut-être pas besoin de médicaments mais leur système ne connaît pas la moindre salubrité. Il n'y a pas de sensation de joie ou de paix en eux. Vous pensez que vous n'êtes pas en bonne santé quand vous déprimez au-delà d'un certain point, en fait vous n'êtes pas en bonne santé si vous ne débordez pas de joie. Il n'y a pas de salubrité au niveau de la composition interne de l'être que vous êtes. La santé n'est pas seulement physique. Aujourd'hui la médecine moderne dit que l'humain est psychosomatique. Ce qui se passe dans le mental

va se passer naturellement dans le corps. Ce qui se passe dans le corps va se passer naturellement dans le mental. Alors la façon dont nous vivons ici, notre attitude, nos émotions, notre état mental de base, le niveau d'activité que nous avons, la façon dont notre mental est orienté, tous ces éléments font partie de notre santé. Si les gens consacrent 25 à 30 min par jour, le matin, à leur bien-être intérieur, à des procédés simples qui peuvent établir l'ingénierie de leur corps et de leur mental afin de faire l'expérience d'une santé totale et du bien-être, alors chaque être humain est capable de vivre bien et en bonne santé.

La Fête de la Musique est un événement participatif, festif et collectif : fait pour et par le public. Ainsi, comme chaque année depuis 1982, la nuit du 21 juin, nuit du solstice d'été, chacun est invité à venir jouer et écouter de la musique dans l'espace public, à venir vivre un moment de partage autour de concerts donnés par des amateurs et/ou des professionnels. C'est aussi une fête incitative qui donne envie à ceux qui ne connaissent pas encore la musique de la découvrir et de se lancer à leur tour dans l'apprentissage d'une pratique musicale. Depuis les origines, le succès de la Fête ne se dément pas et, en 2014, 17 000 concerts ont réuni plus de 10 millions de personnes autour de la musique en France. Et l'ampleur de la Fête de la Musique est telle que plus de 120 pays et 700 villes dans le monde l'ont célébrée, la transformant en une manifestation musicale internationale emblématique. La musique est l'activité culturelle préférée des Français, celle dont ils disent qu'ils pourraient le moins se passer, devant la lecture et le cinéma. Une large majorité (61 %) d'entre eux en écoute tous les jours, un chiffre qui passe à 73 % si on prend en compte ceux qui disent en écouter « 4 ou 5 fois par semaine».

La mer Ah, c'est un bateau !

Abandonné au milieu de l'eau.Ah, c'est un bateau !

Qui vogue sur les flots.

Ah, les moussaillons,Qui observent les poissons.

Ah, les moussaillons,Sur leurs galions.

Ah, les navires,Qui tirent et virent.

Ah, les naivres,Sont prêts à partir.

Ah, c'est un filet, Qui sert à pêcher.Ah, c'est un filet,

Prêt à être remonté.

Nuestros idioma, Reflejo de nosotros

Cada frase que decimos revela algo acerca de quiénes somos como seres humanos. Incluso las personas que hablan el mismo idioma tienen dialectos distintos. Estos están arraigados en su historia y cultura. Decir “coche” o “carro” al hablar de un automóvil puede revelar de qué país y de qué región es la persona. La forma en que uno llame a la noche a n t e r i o r a H a l l o w e e n p u e d e relacionarse con sus creencias religiosas. El tipo de argot o jerga que uno usa puede provenir de los hábitos

de la comunidad en la que uno creció.La lengua también arroja luz sobre las conexiones entre nosotros y nuestros entornos naturales. En cualquier lengua, las plantas y los animales que reciben nombres son generalmente aquellos que son relevantes para las personas que hablan ese idioma. La relevancia viene dada por la manera en que la gente ha interaccionado con esos animales y plantas. En algunos casos, esto ha sucedido a lo largo de siglos.

Leonardo Torres Quevedo

Leonardo Torres Quevedo fue un matemático, ingeniero de caminos e

inventor español de finales del siglo XIX y principios del XX. Nació el 28 de

diciembre de 1852, en Santa Cruz de Iguña.En 1902, Leonardo Torres Quevedo presentó en las Academias de Ciencias

de Cantabria y París el proyecto de un nuevo tipo de dirigible que

solucionaba el grave problema de suspensión de la barquilla al incluir un

armazón interior de cables flexibles que dotaban de rigidez al dirigible por

efecto de la presión interior. En 1905, con ayuda del capitán Alfredo

Kindelán, Torres Quevedo dirige la construcción del primer dirigible

español en el Servicio de Aerostación Militar del Ejército, creado en 1896 y

situado en Guadalajara. Finalizan con gran éxito, y el nuevo dirigible, el

España, realiza numerosos vuelos de exposición y

prueba. Quizá la innovación más importante en este

dirigible fue la de hacer el globo trilobulado, de modo

que aumentaba la seguridad. También construyó un

proyector didáctico que mejoraba la forma en la que las

diapositivas se colocaban sobre las placas de vidrio para

proyectarlas.

El Flamenco

El flamenco no es folklore.El flamenco es una expresión artística que nace de la mezcla de muchas culturas: la árabe, la judía, la de los gitanos (que llegaron a España en el siglo XV y muchos se quedaron en Andalucía).

EL flamenco se improvisa pero para poder improvisar se necesitan muchos años de estudio y ensayos.Cada artista conoce un código y un lenguaje, conoce los diferentes palos flamencos, la estructura de cante en cada uno de ellos, y a partir de este código y lenguaje se puede improvisar en un escenario.Si está claro donde nació, ocurre todo lo contrario si queremos saber cuando nació, porque no empezó en un año concreto, fue creándose poco a poco con todas esas mezclas. Aunque hay noticias documentadas, hacía el año 1770, en las que cuentan que se celebraban algunas fiestas y reuniones .

Alcazar De Segovia

El Alcazar de Segovia no es solo uno de los monumentos más importantes de España, sino que también es uno de los 10 castillos más impresionantes del mundo. Este sensacional alcázar ha sido testigo de numerosos acontecimientos históricos, sus estancias fueron lugar de reposo de Alfonso X el Sabio, de ellas salió Isabel la Católica camino de la iglesia de San Miguel para ser coronada. Además en su capilla se celebró la misa del casamiento de Felipe II y Ana de Austria.

The Power of ReadingThe Power of ReadingThe Power of ReadingWhen was the last time you read a book, or a substantial magazine article? Do your

daily routine reading habits center around tweets or Facebook or messenger

updates? If you're one of the countless students who don't make a habit of reading

regularly, you might be missing out on a vital component of our culture. Reading

has a significant number of benefits. The Great English Poet Milton rightly says,

“A good book is the precious life blood of a master spirit embalmed and treasured

up on purpose to a life beyond life.”

Of all the skills that need to be acquired by a child in the basics of school learning,

perhaps the most important and the one that has far-reaching implications for

future progress is the skill of reading. According to National Institute of Child

Health and Human Development (NICHD), 2000 it is stated that the skill of

reading lays the foundation for future success at school and is the most important skill that needs to be mastered in education. The ability

to read well is essential to function in today's world as it stimulates the human mind and develops the imagination and the ability to learn

new things. Reading has at all times and in all ages been a great source of knowledge. Today the

ability to read is highly valued and very significant for the holistic development of a child. In today's

world, importance of reading has increased as learners' have so much more to know and to learn

and also the need for a cognizant effort to surmount the divisive forces. We are

the dwellers of a speedily advancing world where internet is taking over

everything. To keep the pace and flow, one should also need to do things that

benefit us. When we read a book, one has to remember an assortment of

characters, their backgrounds, ambitions, history, and nuances, as well as the

various arcs and plots that weave their way through every story. That's a fair

bit to remember, but brains are marvelous organs and can remember these

things with relative ease. Reading is no doubt a stupendous habit and help

in memory improvement. It can make a dormant, barren mind rich and

cultivatable. It pours rich thoughts in minds and helps in bringing the best

out of someone. Reading broadens the vision. One should travel with books

as their companions and carry books for reading while travelling. Visit to

book fairs for creating one's own Home library has proven to be a great tool.

Despite various means of entertainment and recreation, books continue to enjoy

the prominent position. They have been the great source of pleasure since time

immemorial. Like the seeds of flowers, these means of pleasures go on

multiplying because they are produced by teeming minds, which have the potentiality to

revolutionize the society. No doubt the introduction of technology has caused a shift in interest and

preference, but the pleasures gained from reading have their own prominent and significant value. Hence, it cannot be substituted. It is a

perennial source of joy. So dear students, step away from your computer for a little while, open a book, and rejuvenate your soul for a

little while.

Happy reading!

We are ever so grateful to our wonderful teacher, parent and alumni communities for their

generous words of appreciations. We thank you for believing in us.

"To me, RDPS is much more than a school, it's an

institution that molds entire futures". The vast

learning experience at RDPS, and the plethora of

activities it offered has not only helped me

academically but has give me a better understanding

of myself and my capabilities. It has helped me realize

there lies a promise and possibility within me and I

have to reach out to give back to the society all that I

have taken from it.

Ms. Ragini Aggarwal (Alumni)

1. Exposure: The International Exchange programs

gives you an insight of new cultures and their

lifestyles. This really develops your personality.

2. Competitive Spirit: In our school, we had a lot of

competitions, both internal & external and the

school gave us a good opportunity to learn

something out of the box and showcase the same.

3. Creativity: The school has alot of activities and

functions which allows a student to explore his

talents. In my opinion, this is one of the most

important things as, we live in a society that is

taught from a young age to zero in on one way of

about each issue and topic. This squelches creative

ideas.

Mr. Tarun Goyal (Alumni)

I was shaped into a meticulous child who never

turned her back towards hardwork and

dedication. I have learnt to contribute my best

energies into every responsibility I have

undertaken.

Ms. Nitya Shukla (Alumni)

1. Confidence: Learning about new subjects and becoming

proficient in a skill helps one grow exponentially. The same

can be seen in my daily life, whether it being giving

presentations or delegation of authority.

2. Socialization: Humans are social animals and we need

people around us to survive. The whole school system has

taught me as a person how to bond better bonds with people

around me.

3. Teamwork: Through games and projects, and even

participation in after-school sports, one learns the importance

of forging relationships with each other. These activities also

help us to manage difficult personalities, find our way as

leaders, and better understand the way we work as

individuals.

4. Inspiration: I’ve found, as a businessman, that school has

not only helped me develop lifelong friendships, work

strategies, and career goals, but has also functioned as one of

my primary means of inspiration.

5. Community: A school functions as the center of a person’s

community and acts as a meeting place, a place for one to

grow, and a second home.

Mr. Piyush Kumar Goyal (Alumni)

For me RDPS was not just a school, it was a

tradition. RDPS has a culture that allows each

individual to figure out what they're best at, and

pursue it - no matter the odds. Be it drama, music,

debates, sports, writing, anchoring, academics or

what not, the school has given me ample

opportunities to explore, nurture and present my

talents. Last but not the least, thank you for

keeping an inspiring and brilliant faculty

throughout, which guided us every step of the way.

I'm grateful that you listened to the students' needs

and helped them unconditionally. I am indebted

with the love this school has bestowed upon me,

and would love to give back in any manner possible.

Mr. Anuj Kukreja (Alumni)

RDPS cultivated an academic environment in the classroom

by setting high, but not impossible, expectations for the

students. Pushed students to achieve higher standards which

in the end really helped me develop. The school also offered a

lot of co-curricular activities so that students can follow their

passion. It eventually helped me develop and realise that i

have a keen interest in computers. It always gave students its

required freedom. It communicated with its students

effectively which in turn helped gain confidence. RDPS

always encouraged students to come forward so that each

student can bloom.

Mr. Lakshay Bansal (Alumni)

dance and art they have separate evening classes

and fantastic infrastructure for it. They have very

good auditorium for live performances. Their

teachers are hard working and encourage their

students to perform well. PTM are held on a

regular basis- which gives parents and teachers

to interact over the performance of the students.

Mr. Subodh Choudhary

(F/o Saanvi Choudhary IV-E)

We found this school to be good at its teaching

methods. My son had also passed from this

engineer in America. The reviews of this school

are good. Also RDPS is never at rest untill and

unless it achieves its goals. The teachers are

good and highly qualified.

Mr. Subhash Chander Garg

(F/o Anvi Garg VII -D)

RDPS practices a multi-dimensional curriculum model that

incorporates the benefits of ICT, CAT (Computer Aided

Teaching), CAL(Computer Aided Learning and

CAA(Computer Aided Assessment). It provides them various

avenues that empower them with the self-confidence to

achieve success. Students are given opportunities to develop

the attitudes, skills and knowledge to participate in a globally

connected world through collaborative projects with schools

abroad via exchange programs. The students of classes III to

IX attend a wide range of in-house clubs, an intergral

component of the co-scholastic endeavours of the school.

Ms. Ranjana Longjam (Assistant Teacher)

1. The school aims at high standards of learning

at all levels, whether pre-primary, primary,

middle or senior and the same is reflected in

the outstanding results produced by the

students in various examinations.

2. The team of multi-faceted and competent

teaching staff makes the school a place

where the students gain not only knowledge,

but also wisdom and morals alike.

3. The world class infrastructure provided in the

school campus allows students to come to

terms with the national and international

dimensions in the curriculum.

Mr. Lalit Sharma (PGT Mathematics)

1. The school considers education to be a life-long

process, and thus equips the students with the

intellectual and practical skills to face professional

hurdles and challenges. Every year, the school

achieves excellent results in classes XII and X. The

students also find remarkable placements in top

international and national institutes.

2. It houses well-equipped Biology, Physics, Chemistry,

Computer and Math laboratories. Keeping pace with

the technological advancements, the school also

operates a Eureka 3D Lab, Clicker Lab and Language

appreciation of the worth of the each student through

its Mentor mentee program in which the teachers

facilitate activities that enhance the core skills of the

students.

4. It also hosts numerous international multicultural

exchange programmes that allow the students to

participate in memorable cultural encounters.

5. Each faculty member is both a teacher and a scholar.

The faculty of RDPS consists of highly qualified

teachers, who have extensive teaching experience in

their respective fields.

Ms. Neeru Arora (TGT - Mathematics)

As a member of RDPS since October 2000, I have had the fortune of being an integral witness to its multi-dimensional

growth, especially pedagogic and infrastructural, over the years. The key to its growth is its vibrant, well-trained and

phenomenally experienced teaching faculty that empowers the students to evolve as responsible citizens of tomorrow

by helping them build farsightedness to adapt to the changing circumstances. The school management leaves no

stone unturned to uphold and fuel the superior standards that have, for years, defined the reputation of the institution.

Their meticulously organized plans of action are complemented by a modern and a very competitive set of

infrastructures that create a niche for the school in the city. Discipline and security of children are the core mottos of the

school. Children are imparted with values which help them to build a democratic and comprehensive personality. The

school always stands committed to the faith and goodwill that the parents have placed on it. Over the years, the school

has achieved glorious feats in both scholastic and co-scholastic fields. It gives us an immense sense of joy and pride.

Mr. N.K. Jena (PGT Political Science)

The school is highly reputed and recommended for

preparing students to fetch high scores in CBSE

examinations and in other Olympiads and talent search

examinations which boost student's confidence. It has

made a variety of facilities accessible to the students. Rapid

and continuous use of smart boards, 3-D classes, and

various computer labs and software have provided concept

clarity accompanied by better understanding and

application and focuses on overall development of the

students and not just academics. There are diverse

departments for co-curricular activities such as dancing,

singing, art and craft, drama, sports etc. The school's staff

members are also very approachable, understanding and

are highly qualified. Teachers rather than just sticking to the

curriculum and grades of their pupils also focus on

personality development. RDPS provide a global platform to

the students for either competing with institutions world

wide or working with them by various programs like

collaboration projects, time project, snail mail, foreign

exchange. Also the school doesn't restrict students to

classrooms but also put emphasis on outdoor learning by

educational visits to museums, monuments, research

centres and much more.
