Chairman Speaks

What I am is God's gift to me what I became is my gift to God.

"Strong Lives are motivated by dynamic purposes; lesser ones exist on wishes & inclinations. The most glowing successes are but reflections of an inner fire.

We in Vidhya Vruddhi have tried to do credible activities in all areas of opportunity. I shall call these activities as invisible activities because they are not seen once they are conducted and over. But I am sure such activities have definitely reached to the minds & heart of all our students & Parents.

During this year we have tried to maintain a very good standard in our pursuit to achieve our goals. But never shall we be satisfied in yesterday's accomplishments nor shall we indicate in self praise for our achievements as we can achieve far more than what we have done & continue to put our efforts to surpass every action which we have performed yesterday.

I take this opportunity to thank you all for giving me this opportunity to serve as the chairman of PTA for third consecutive year. I was ably supported by our vice Chairman Mrs. Preeti Naik, Secretary Mrs. Seema Keni, Jt. Secretary Miss Anupama Naik, Treasurer Mr. Babuso Naik & other Executive Members. I congratulate & thank all the members of other committees for successful implementation of activities like Sports Day, Exhibition, Saraswati Pooja, Teachers Day, to mention a few. We could achieve this success due to support & encouragement from Madam Rukmi Dangui & Shri. Uday Dangui.

It gives me immense pleasure & satisfaction in presenting this issue of "SPARK" for this year 2014-15. As the name suggests, this magazine serves as the tool to bring out the hidden talents of our students teachers & parents. It gives them an opportunity to showcase their potential. Also we have highlighted the various activities carried out during this year, achievements of students etc.

My thanks & appreciations go to the magazine Editor Mrs. Priya Verlekar & her Editorial team for all their efforts & hard work put in bringing out this issue. I also thank all our sponsors, advertisers & well wishers for their patronage.

I conclude with an appeal to every member of PTA to remain fully involved & committed with our Sincere efforts to the cause of our children because changing a life or the world start with each one of us.

With Love & Regards, Sudan KuncolienkarChairman, PTA, VVS

Time is the deposit each one has in the bank of God and no one knows the balance.

At the beginning of the school year, for an

administrator it is hard to untangle all the tasks

falling under his attribution. While dealing with

all the co-curricular, curricular and the class

activities, leaves hardly any time to tap some of the areas. I

appreciate school PTA for working vigorously for shouldering

responsibility of some school activities.

I congratulate the school PTA for this year's edition of the school

magazine which showcases not only school activities and

achievements but also the talent of our students, teachers and

parents.

Studies show that parental involvement plays a significant role in

student achievement and performance. A strong parents group can

make a tremendous difference in how a school functions.

My appeal to all the parents to support altruistic work of PTA

Executive committee and sub committees which will give boost to

their enthusiasm to sketch out novel activities for the development

of the students in future .

Take time to laugh, It is the music of the soul.

Science has invented a number of machines which are very useful for man in his daily life - Everything that the modern man uses from morning till night has been manufactured by one machine or the other. Machines lift weight for him, plough his field, cook his food and also serve it for him. Computers have made calculation easy and swift beyond imagination. The inventions of such machines save human time and drudgery.

The blessings of science are its inventions in the field of medicines and surgery. Human pain and sufferings have been conquered and the life expectancy has gone higher. Science has invented a number of drugs such as Penicillin, Cortisone etc that are very useful in everyday life. x-ray, body scanning machines are the window through which we can peep into the inside of our body. There are machines with which we can peep into the entire human body and detect diseases. Major operations can now be performed and broken limbs set right without the patient feeling any pain. Different parts of the body can be replaced by artificial ones. It is expected that atomic energy, when

a large scale would transform human life.

Science has added to the human comfort in various ways. With electricity man can turn night into day and carry on his work with perfect ease. In summer he enjoys cool breezes by the use of electric fan and air conditioner. Many inventions of science are used for our recreation that provide amusement for both the rich and the poor. Through radio, we can enjoy music, drama, short stories. Through the television we can see drama, dances etc. being staged at television station.

Science thus is a great blessing for mankind. Its utility in everyday life is unlimited. But the inventions of science are being misused in various ways. Instead of using aeroplanes for travel, we use them to drop bombs. In this way the blessing has turned into a curse, and it is feared that science will destroy humanity. Science should be a compulsory subject to study, so that man may understand its true nature, and put it to right use. If our country needs to progress, more scientists are urgently needed. Therefore science should be taught to all.

Only when we learn to see the invisible, will we learn to do the impossible.

One lady was seen looking for something in the street in front of her house. A neighbour, going to the mosque for his prayer, stopped to ask her what she was searching.

She said, she was looking for a needle. The neighbour thought, she must be a determined but slightly eccentric woman, how could she expect to find a tiny needle in a street? When the neighbour returned after a long time, he found the lady still hard at work. Wanting to help, he joined the search and asked her to remember where she had lost the needle. The lady answered, "Inside the house".

This irritated the neighbour who then out of curiosity asked how on earth can a needle lost in the house be found in the street.

"well" answered the lady, "I see, you go out of the house to look for God every day, so I thought I too had a better chance of finding the needle outside.

"The neighbour was stunned by the woman's insight."

"Did you see how poor people live?" the father asked.

"Oh yeah," said the son.

"So, tell me, what you learnt from the trip?" asked the father.

The son answered: "I saw that we have one dog and they had four. We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden and they have a creek that has no end. We have imported lanterns in our garden and they

Application of Science in Daily Life

It is said that science is the religion of the modern age. Science has changed the thinking of modern man and has exposed him to a lot of new things. Science is the modern god of reason that abhors blind faith.

Science has provided man with great material comforts and amazing facilites. The trains, the aeroplanes, the sea ships, the space ships, to say least, are some of the undreamt of wonders of science. The space has been annihilated. The whole world has become a very narrow place. One can have breakfast in Delhi, lunch in london and dinner in san Francisco. Today, there are innumerable electric and electronic gadgets for the comfort of man. The stove, the L.P.G., the heater, the geyser, the air conditioner, the electric generator, the refrigerator, the washing machine etc. provide comfort to man. The television , LCD, LED, touch screen mobiles, tabs, etc. provide him with exciting amusement. He can no longer feel bored.

In the field of agriculture, numerous water dams have been constructed. Agricultural and irrigational devices invented increase the production of crops to feed the millions. There has been a great increase in industrial production. Big factories and mills, equipped with complicated machinery of great skill and awful technology. work day and night to produce innumerable items of use, ranging from small needles to huge ships.

Great discoveries and inventory in the field of medical science have greatly mitigated man's misery and even tried to banish altogether some disease like chickungunya, polio, dengue, etc. Much more attention is now given to child and mother's health. There have been great discoveries in the field of nutrition and diet. Mortality rate has fallen and life span has increased. New techniques in education are being developed. Telecommunication system, computer system, etc. have brought about a revolution in all fields. The meteoro- logical space-crafts forecast weather to near accuracy. The success of Indian's Mars orbiter Mission, affectionately nicknamed MOM, brings India into an elite club of Martian explorers.

Despite all the comforts provided by science where man can not only walk on earth like an animal but fly in air like a bird and swim in water like a fish, it is a pity that he has also developed and amassed horr ib le weapons of destruction. These weapons threaten even his very existence on this planet. If man stops production of such weapons, he can banish poverty, disease and ignorance which are his real enemies. Let us hope better sense prevails on us.

Importance of Sports

My favourite Sport

All work and no play makes jack a dull boy is a popular saying. There are different types of games and sports Table Tenis, Ludo, chess and Carom are indoor games. Football, Volleyball, Cricket etc. are outdoor games.

Sports are very useful to students. They give a good exercise to the body. When a man becomes active through sports, he does his work with care and interest. Students generally work in same room. They do mental labour. Physical activities are very necessary for the proper growth of the body. In short, sports makes us active and healthy.

In this age of machines everybody is busy students and office goers work hard during day time. They get tired and feel dull.

sports give them relief and pleasure after work. A visit to a film requires money but sports give them relief and pleasure after work. They make us physically strong and mentally well balanced.

Sports make us disciplined. Players have to follow rules in sports. The referee’s decision is final on the playground. Whether we like or not, we have to follow the rules of the sports. Sports have healthy effects on every growing indiscipline among students today.

A sport should be played in the spirit of the port. The mobility of sport should not be lost. Victory is not all that matters. The main thing is the participation in an event. Thus, sports should be played in good spirit and friendly gesture.

Cricket is my favourite sport and Sachin Tendulkar is my ideal star. Though, I like to play badminton, football, table tennis and volleyball too, but they are secondary to me.

Cricket started first in England. Later this game spread to many other countries of the world, including India, Pakistan, Australia, New zealand South Africa, kenya and Bangladesh.

In a cricket team, there are eleven players. The team has a captain and a vice-captain. There are two kinds of cricket matches - a test match and a one-day match. In a one-day match, each team plays fifty overs. Each over has six balls and bowler can bowl a maximum of ten overs. The captain who wins the toss, decides whether his team will bowl first or bat. Test matches are played for five days. In a test match, both teams have

to play two innings to get the result. But five days are not enough to play two innings so, most of the test matches end in a draw. In this types of matches an additional over is played, who scores more wins the match.

One Sunday Night a of few of my friends decided to play a match. My team “Rising star cricket team" played a one day match against the Indi-Fighters team. I was the captain of my team, we won the toss and elected to bat first. We made a big score of 200 runs. The Indi- fighters team was all out at the score of 176 runs. We won the match by 24 runs.

The game of cricket is really exciting and I wish to play an International cricket match as a player of India.

Happiness is a wonderful commodity, the more you give, the more you have.

Today I Smiled, and all at Once things didn’t look so bad.Today I Shared with someone else, a bit of hope I had.Today I Sang a little song, and felt my heart grow lightAnd walked a happy little mile, with not a cloud in sight.Today I worked with what I had and longed for nothing more,And what had seemed like only weeds, were flowers at my door.Today I loved a little more and complained a little lessAnd in the giving of myselfI forgot my weariness Mrs. Juhi Vaz, Teacher

Sports and games are very important for us. They keep us healthy and fit. They offer us a change from the monotony of daily life. It is a useful means of entertainment and physical activity. Sports and games helps in character building. They give us energy and strength.

Sports and games are means of mental and physical growth. During sports we come to learn many things. We learn how to maintain mental balance in the midst of hopes and despair. They make us learn how to tackle the difficult situation. Sports develop a sense of friendliness. They develop in us team spirit. They shape our body and make it strong and active. They remove tiredness and lethargy. They improve blood circulation. This improves our physical well being Education without sports is incomplete.

My favourite Sport :- Swimming

Swimmings has been my favourite sport since I was very small. I learnt to swim when I was just 7 years old. Swimming is a very popular sport.

Swimming is a sport for all age groups, besides it is a lifetime activity. Swimming is cheap you dont' have to spend much money on it. All you need is just a swimsuit that makes you feel comfortable and a goggle that keeps away water from your eyes. Swimming is one of the most popular sports in the world. As all your muscles are used during swimming, it is an excellent from of exercise swimming builds up muscle strength; so your body is kept in perfect shape. Besides its physical benefits swimming is also a great recreational sports giving you peace of mind to continue with your day. Swimming has numerous advantages over other exercise and if done consistently will keep you in shape for a long period of time.

They keep us healthy and fit. They offer us change from monotony of daily life. They improve our daily life. They make us learn how to tackle difficult situations.

My favourite Sport :- Badminton

Games are played primarily for entertainment or enjoyment. But may also serve as an exercise. Everyone in this world has their own favourite games, so do I. My favorite game is Badminton. Badminton is a western game. It is an indoor game. It is played in a hall which is called a “court” It is played between two single players which is called “singles”. It is also played by four players making two pairs, which is called “double game” This game needs some implements to play. Each must have a racket in his hand and a shuttle cock. The shuttle cock is made of Cork and feather.

Badminton is a game of skill

A Badminton player should have strong hand and legs. He should be very agile. He should be able to run quickly, jump, and hop instantly. I am a good player of badminton. I enjoy it very much. I go to the stadium to practice daily in the early morning as well as in the evening.

There are certain rules of the game, that the player must follow. The player stands opposite to each other. A net is hung between them. The referee counts the points. The player who scores the maximum over the other player within the fixed time limit wins. The game is expensive because of necessary implements, but I like it because of its benefits. The game gives us full exercise. While playing badminton one must be alert and watchful. He should have full judgement skill of tossing and placing the shuttle at such a place that he wins a point.

All these qualities of a good badminton player get into us if we practice the game daily. That’s why, I like this game very much and never miss to play it. I hope to play for my country some day. I shall continue to play it all my life. I think that playing sports like badminton keeps my body healthy. Playing Badminton is very interesting because every battle that you join is an excitement but at the end of the game there is only one winner and a losser.

The Examination Hall

The bell goes and all are in their seats,

Eyes all set on the given sheets,

The different contours of the faces seen

Some tensed some doomed and a few bubbling with tune.

The atmosphere of silence everywhere

Only a slight murmur here and there

The turning of papers or falling of a pen

the supervision reviewing his craftmen with care.

Their heads down their pen scribbling

Ventilating the answers on the paper sheets

Disturbed by a yawn or a sneeze

Some speeding, while a few relaxing for the ball to squeeze

Its tedious watching the dolls and Pauls,

Attentively sirring for the band to toll

One feeds as if, attending a dumb, deaf ball

That’s the atmosphere in the Examination hall

Goa - of My Dreams

A Truth

- Aastha Komarpant, Std VI

There are two times when to keep your mouth shut: while swimming and when angry.

Goa better known as the “Pearl of the Orient” is situated on the west coast of India. It is blessed with lush greenery, golden beaches and serene temples. The people are known for their hospitality and piety. But are the goans of today able to sustain its natural beauty? Well if we look around us, the answer cannot be the affirmative. As Goans we face some major problems which I feel affect our lives to a large extent. Some of the major problems are illegal mining, corruption, garbage disposed and the after effects of tourism. Since we youth claim ourselves to be the future of our state, I think it is high time that we put in efforts to eradicate all these problems as they threaten our very existence. My dream is to see Goa free from all these problems.

Corruption is the another major problems that we Goans face today. In Goa, I have noticed that right from the sweepers to the executives, there is corruption at every level. In recent times, we can see politicians extorting lakhs and crores of rupees just to grant people “regular” jobs. I agree that corruption cannot be uprooted, but at least a strong Lokpal Bill will minimize it. If our great politician do not want to support a strong Lokpal, then it is evidents that they are guilty of being a hurdle in Goa's progress.

The garbage problem is yet another problem that seems to be increasing by the day.

To conclude I feel that the root cause for all these problems is corruption, dirty politics, selfishness, greed and narrow mindedness.

I dream of a Goa where youth has picked up the challenge of bringing about a

When I dig others out of trouble, I find a place to bury my own.

A Teacher of a New Era"Know they self", These words of the great philospher socrates echo in my mind when it

comes to the education of a child. A child possesses the potential in him of all the possible knowledge. A teacher only ignites the minds of the children and helps them to bring the best of every child. A lamp already contains the oil and cotton fibre, it only needs to be lighted and this task is very well done in the process of education.

An ideal teacher takes pain on her part to see her students flourishing. She considers them as her own children. More than a career, she makes loving the children, as an art of enlightening the students. She spends more of her time on those weak and less fortunate students to make them fortunate and happy. She imparts Moral Values besides the textbook knowledge. How privileged is the student who encounters such a teacher.

At this advancing technology age, "Google" is easily available in order to fetch instant knowledge. One is aware that necessary matters can be easily obtained and learned from it. In spite of knowing, we prefer school education. Knowledge with creativity can also be given by our teachers but what it special about our teachers is that they give the human love which no gadget can substitute, Moral Values and humanity inspiration which only a teachers can convey.

The role of a teacher has been rather challenging in the Present era. More than teaching, a teacher needs to understand the capability of a student, give him/her more attention, understand his Milieu, thus enable and guide him in the path of illumination. I m reminded of an anecdote of a teacher who used to always bow at the children while passing by their classroom. When asked, the teacher replied that these children are very special. We do not know, tomorrow they might be prime Minister, the president etc. I may not get an opportunity to see them. Its better that I bow and respect them now. To conclude, a teacher serves as a channel of enriching the fate of a child.

Chhatrapati Shivaji

Shivaji was born in the fort of Shivneri in 1627. Shivaji mother's name was Jijabai

and father's name was Shahaji who worked as general under the sultan of Bijapur.

Shivaji founded the Hindu Kingdom in the Deccan against all odds, fighting against the

mighty Mughal. At the age of 16 he took a pledge to establish a sovereign, Hindu state.

He clearly oustanded the rulers and generals of India by the exemplary life he lived and

was respected by the entire cross section of Indians.

Shivajis thoughts and deeds were inspired by the teachings of his mother Jijabai,

teacher Dadaji Konddev, great saints like Dnyaneshwar and Tukaram and the valiancy

and ideals of the Lords Rama and Krishna. The tiny kingdom established by

chhatrapati Shivaji known as "Hindavi Swaraj"

Shivaji raised a strong army or many he constructed and repaired forts such as

fort of Deogiri, fort of Raigad, Sindhudurga, Purandar, Harischandragad, Shivneri etc.

He also developed a strong intelligence network, gave equal treatment to the people

from all religion and caste based on merit functioned like a seasonal statesman and

General. He appointed ministers on specific function such as internal security, foreign

affairs, finance law justice, religion matters, Defence etc. with very powerful army

Shivaji fought and conquered many battles such as Battle of Pratapgarh, Battle of

Kolhapur, Battle of Pavan Kind, Battle with the Mughalas, Battle of Sinhagad etc.

Shivaji was a lion that had grown up independently in the mountain ranges of

Sahyadri. The hero who escaped from the prison of the Mughal Emperor and became

the ruler of the kingdom devoted to Dharma and the service of the people. As a boy he

dedicated himself to Hindu Dharma. He matched cunning against cunning and

courage against courage; he was one of the wisest ruler and one of the greatest

generals. Chhatrapati Shivaji died on 3rd April, in 1680 at Raigad, after running a fever

for three weeks.

A Clever PlanOnce there lived three beautiful sisters. An ugly and wicked king wanted a

beautiful bride. So he visited the girls home. Their father knew that his daughter

had thought of a clever plan. He led the royal visitor to the eldest daughter’s room.

She told the king that she was too weak to get up and bow to him!

The second girl screamed in her room, tearing the bed sheets and clothes.

She pretended to be very angry.

The third girl was in the garden laying bricks around a tall tree. she said she

wanted to catch a bird she had seen sitting on the tree. “Sick, short tempered and

stupid!

“Who wants a beautiful bride?” said the king and returned home.

Ammas Picture

Tanmay V. Sankolli

In the art class, the teacher told the children to draw picture of someone they loved.

Zai made a picture of his mother(Amma). He was very pleased with it. He put it carefully in

his bag to take it home.

On his way back home after school, Zai met snowy swan as he passed the pond. He

showed snowy his mother’s picture. "Oooh! That's lovely picture," said Snowy swan. "But

isn't the neck too short?" Zai took out his box of crayons. He did something to the picture.

"Its that better?" asked Zai "Perfect!" replied Snowy Swan.

On the other side of the pond, Zai met Frisky Frog. He showed his mother's picture.

"Hey that’s great!" said Frisky. But aren't the eyes too small and thin? Zai took out his box of

crayons. He did something to the picture. "Is that better" asked Zai. "perfect" replied Frisky

Frog.

Zai passed the playground on his way. He met his Friend Cully Crow. He showed his

mother's picture. "Wow! That's super!” said Cully. "But isn't the mouth too small and

round?" Zai took out his box of crayons. He did something to the picture. "Is that better?"

asked Zai. "Perfect"! replied Cully Crow.

Zai turned to the corns and almost bumped into Dino Donkey. He showed his

mother's picture. "Hmmm!' That's wonderful!" said Dino. "But aren't the ears too short?"

Zai took out his box crayons. He did something to the picture. "Is that better" asked Zai

"Perfect!" replied Dino Donkey.

Near the big field, Zai waved to Emmy Elephant. He showed his mother’s picture.

"Aahaaa! That's a fine picture !" said Emmy "But isn't the nose too short and flat?" Zai took

out his box of crayons. He did something to the picture. "Is that better?" asked Zai

"Perfect!" replied Emmy Elephant.

Finally Zai reached home. He met Beenu Buffalo standing in front of the gate. He

showed his mother's picture. "Hambrawa! That's a masterpiece!" said Beenu "But why

isn't she smiling?" Zai took out his box of crayons. He did something to the picture. "Is that

better?" asked Zai "perfect !" replied Beenu Buffalo. Then, Zai ran inside the house, and

went straight to his mother. who was waiting for him "Amma! Amma! This is your picture. I

made it in art class today." His mother took the picture. She looked at it, smiled and said,

"Its perfect" and hugged him tightly. After lunch, Zai's mother put up the picture on the main

door. Jai looked at his picture and looked at his mother.??!!!!!

Teachers as MentorsIn any society a teacher has a very respectable place. They are the real makers of

Nation. They are the very torch bearers of knowledge and wisdom who remove the

darkness. They are the very light house to guide the destiny of a nation and a

builder of a strong moral character of the youth. A teacher possesses a strong

moral character and takes personal interest in the shaping of the ball round

personality of the student. Possessed of the qualities of head and heart, an Ideal

teacher never believes in physical punishment. A teacher is never ambitions in

terms of money, social status or political games. He leads a dedicated, simple but

dignified life. If we wish teachers to have a place of honour in the community, the

teachers have to continuously upgrade their professional skills and have a code of

conduct for the discharge of their duties.

Reasons to Smile "When you smile, the whole world smiles Back with you". Smiling Happens without much thought when you watch a friends do some thing silly or embarrassing, you smile (silly) And when you are recognised for top performance in academics or at work.

2) Smiling can make others happy.

3) Smiling makes you more attractive

4) Smiling can help you de stress

5) Smiling can help you land a job

6) Smiling can lead to laughter

7) Smiling just feels good.

So the next time you're feeling down or out of sorts of problems, try to smile It just like seeing someone also smile makes you smile.

NEVER COME INTO TENSION- The moment you are in tension- You will lose your attention- Then you are in total confusion and you'll feel irritation- This may spoil your personal relation- Ultimately, you won't get co-operation- And things get into complication- Then your BP may raise caution- And you may have to take medication- Why not try understanding the situation - And try to think about the solution - Many problem will be solved by discussion- Which will work out better in your profession- Don't think it's my free suggestion- It is only for your prevention - If you understand my intention - You'll never come again into tension!!!

A Visit to BijapurI paid a visit to Bijapur during Diwali Vacations. It was my dream to once visit the

beautiful monuments of Bijapur. So when an opportunity came, I just grabbed it. I had been

there with my sister my parents & grandparents. We had been there in our car. It was great

fun to see the beautiful sunflower garden and enjoy the nature's beauty on our way to

Bijapur. The first thing that we visited in Bijapur was the Gol Gumbaz. It was a breathtaking

sight. This monument has been built by 7th king Mohd. Adil Shah in the year 1626. At the

height of 109 feet there is a whispering gallery. It is one of the biggest dome in the world.

Then we had lunch in a typical Bijapur hotel. The food was very hot and spicy. Then

we visited many other monuments like Jumma Masjid which is one of the biggest Jamiya

Masjid in South India. Then we visited the Bara Kaman which is unfortunately incomplete

and is known as second Ali Roza. We visited Upir Burj which was a watch tower at that

time. Then we saw Malik Maidan which weighs 55 tons. The last thing we saw was the

Ibrahim Roza which was designed by Malik Sandal of Iran.

I enjoyed my visit to Bijapur a lot. So my dear friends whenever you get a chance

please do visit it.

Father is flying a kite. His son is watching him carefully. After sometime son says “Dad. Because of the string the kite is not able to go any further higher.” Hearing this,the father smiles and breaks the string.

The kite goes higher after breaking of the thread and then shortly after that it comes and falls on the ground.The child is very dejected and sad.

The father sits next to him and calmly explains “Son, in life we reach a certain level of prosperity and then we feel that there are certain things in our life that are not letting us grow any further like Home,Culture,Friendship,Family etc. We feel that we want to be free from those strings which we believe are stopping us from going higher.

But, remember son, Going higher is easier than staying at the higher level. And friends, family and culture etc are the things that will help us stay stable at the high heights that we have achieved. If we try to break away from those strings our condition will be similar to the kite”

Moral: “never go away from culture,family,friends and relationships as they help keep you stable while you are flying high”

LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lessons To Be Learnt In Life

Compiled by : Sudan Kuncolienkar

Its Matter in Life1. At childhood we cry loudly to get what we like. But

now when we are grown up, we cry silently to forget what we like, that's life.

2. Relationships are like glass. Sometimes it is better to leave them broken than try to hurt yourself putting it back together.

3 Genius and successful people do not relax in chairs; they relax in work; they sleep with dreams and wake with determination and commitment.

4. Always pray to have eyes that see the best, a heart that forgives the worst, a mind that forgets the bad, and a soul that never loses faith in God.

5. There is always a hope and an end. It depends on us how we deal with them: We can look at it as a hopeless end or endless hope.

6. There is no future in any job. The future lies in the person who holds the job.

7. Don't look for someone who will solve all your problems. Look for someone who won't let you to face them alone.

8. A true and caring relation doesn't have to speak loud. A soft smile is just enough, because it's not the mouth that speaks; it's the heart that feels.

9. Your problem is never really your problem; your reaction to the problem is really your problem.

10. What is the difference between truth and lie? Truth is a debit card — pay first and enjoy later. Lie is a credit card — enjoy first and pay later.

11. If a problem can be solved then there is no need for worrying; and if a problem cannot be solved then what's the use of worrying.

12. Success is the problem but failure is the formula. You can't solve the problem without knowing the formula.

13. Do not store dreams in your eyes; they may roll down with tears. Store them in your heart; each heart beat will inspire you to fulfil them.

14. No one has ever won the game of chess by moving forward alone. Sometimes you have to move backward to get a better step forward.

15. Umbrella cannot stop the rain but allows us to stand in rain. Confidence may bring success but it gives the power to face any challenge.

- Mr. Vinod R. Kamat

“Life is like a bicycles. To keep your balance, you must keep moving”.
