Editorial

Reading between the Lines

Once again as the Indian winter begins to phase out, it punches the
atmosphere with a blast and a thrust, sending a shiver up the spine .Sucking in
the draught of the icy cold air, I pick my pen and dare to face the challenges of
nature in all its glory.
Now with the writing on the wall rather clear, like a simple, noble and god- fearing citizen of Mother India, I
jerk out my writing material and put pen to paper…
And the first thing that catches the imagination is……… “India stands at the cross roads of political
dissention while the economy takes a nose-dive and plummets to an all-time low (GDP 4.9%); while the price
hike and unemployment soar to an all-time high; Rapes, murder, lynching and a spirit of unrest envelops the
sub –continent; while we succumb to turmoil and bankruptcy of the 'common sense' in doing the absolutely
right things but at an inopportune and terribly wrong moment.

And therefore, the moving hand having written moves on ……
Putting all these aside , I find myself confronted with a galore of articles , prose, poetry, sketches, cartoons
and snippets……all with the underlying theme of “Wings to fly : Innovative India”.
Imaginations run wild, expressions thoughts, ideas and of course,rhym ,rhythms and meter have all gone to
the winds …… 'To be or not to be'! So as a conscientious editor, I pick up my pen once again,as a surgeon does
his scalpel and carefully bisect and dissect into the 'literacy mess'. Then, following after a knockout bout with
grammar, punctuation, spelling and sentence structure and language, I put my pen down, like a sovereign in
the universe …… Mission Accomplished...!!
Next after the corrections comes the fast scanning and browsing. It was a delight to realise the cover
designers Rohan and Naman arouse a spirit of patriotism, while innovative India, strives for perfection,
excellent, great job gentleman. Eric faithfully comes to the rescue of women and proclaims their
emancipation and empowerment. 'Aaj Ka Hindustan' by Kundan Tiwary which brings about the change in 'era'
in our beloved country and is a poem to cherish. Equally inspiring is Muskan's tremendous urge to soar high,
no matter what the world has to say.
And to make the Indian dream come true Akshit Anand is all praise for the government and its policies and
governance. Standing alone in a big, bad world could drive one to the brink of suicide , so listen to what
Megha has to say about “A Precious Life Wasted “.And of course all culminating is Jesson's way to the
future…..

And with all this and much more, you have the exuberance and soaring spirits of generation next -- our very
own students -- come on parents, perk up your heads and be proud -- your 'natkhat' munna/muni's name has
found itself in PRINT –BRAVO & KUDOS!!
As much as I believe that God favours the brave, I must accept and take upon myself, the discrepancies that
may have found itself into print ………my sincere apologies to all and sundry.
Well, till our paths cross again, it is 'AU REVOIR' from the Editor's Desk. Here is wishing you good luck and
happy reading.
With every good wish, God speed and God bless!!
