The Global Edge School Success Saga
The latest feather in our cap, Shreyas Srinivasan, a 9th Grader, is at the zenith of success. What
started with an audition in the school to compete in the Hyderabad Metro Rail Brand Ambassador
Campaign, has now propelled him to stardom. Shreyas is now the face of Hyderabad Metro Rail.
The Journey
Shreyas was one of the 14 students who represented The Global Edge School at the auditions. He
contended with about 18,000 participants. The students were to showcase their talent in Extempore,
Dance or Music. Though an all-rounder, Shreyas chose to use his gift of the gab and spoke
eloquently on the topic ‘Favourite festival’ to secure a place in the semi-finals. He was one of the
250 boys selected in the school category. In the Semi finals, Shreyas again put his vocal cords to use,
but this time he sang. His melodious voice and clear notes on the guitar made him a strong contender
for being the face of HMR.
It was a proud moment when Shreyas’ name featured in the Top Ten finalists. In the finals, his self
introduction was comprehensive and the song he sang, “Aashayein” was a manifestation of his state
of mind. His answer in the Q & A round bowled each one of the eminent judges besides getting the
loudest cheer from the audience. To the question on how to work towards world peace, he said that
people must think of erasing borders as these boundaries are manmade while god made us all as one.
After that, being in the Top 3 was inevitable.
Being the Topper
Running up to the Grand Finale, Shreyas had the privilege of being groomed by the Panache
finishing school. The long journey reached its climax at the Grand felicitation ceremony held at the
JRC Convention Centre on 23rd
November. The incessant rain could not dampen the soaring spirits
of Shreyas, his family and The Global Edge team. Our joy knew no bounds when Shreyas was
announced as the Brand Ambassador of the Hyderabad Metro Rail.
The triumph is a culmination of the excitement and hard work of 11 months. This is just the tip of
the iceberg and there is more to come.

Robot dance, Avatar dance, Ega dance, Charlie Chaplin dance, Super girls dance, Spiderman dance,

dwelling served. The grandeur of independent
houses amazed them while the simplicity of a
tent enticed them.

On the second day, our mentor brought some musical
instruments and played. The first instrument made
sounds that made us feel as if it was raining inside the
room. The second instrument made sounds of thunder
and lightning. Then they mixed both the sounds. First
thunder and lightning and then rain sound. It sounded
real!
Then we all summarized what we have learnt during the
workshop. Later we were asked to write a story to screen
entries towards the final event “Katha Utsav” to be
organized in New Delhi.
Now I came to know that my story got selected for the
final event. I am excited and looking forward to join the
final event in New Delhi in December 2013.

Events at the Katha Regional Writing
workshop in Chennai
- K Sri Snigdha, The Global Edge School, Madhapur,
Hyderabad
I was one of the 200 participants who got selected out of
6000+ entries from all over India for the 2-day regional
writing workshop organized by Katha in association
with CBSE in Chennai. I came to know about other
cultures during the workshop as the participants of the
workshop are from different parts of our country.
On the first day of the workshop, we were first
introduced to each other. Later we were made to
exercise. The organizers asked us to make a mind map
of all the places we had been to in India and write it on a
sheet of paper and color it. Later they explained us about
all the elements of a story and requested us write three
short stories comprising all those elements.
Towards the end of first day, the organizers showed us
an educational video “Save our Sholas”. It was a nice
video and it showed us all kinds of wildlife and
vegetation. The video also described the destruction
happening over there. I had never seen a video so
realistic! Later we were asked to write a paragraph on
the video we saw. After completing the work, we were
asked to read first 6 lines of our work. It was so much
fun exchanging ideas with each other! Some of the ideas
were of mystery, some ideas were of fun and some ideas
were realistic!
