Horse Riding |
|
|
|
The school maintains a Horse Riding
Club. It has 10 horses. A large number of students
use this facility. |

Music |
|
|
|
SEVEN rules the roost ! The seven
– year itch, The seven colors of the sagacious
spectrum…. and of the rainbow, The seven wonders of
the world, The seven notes of music.
What else do we want?
Life is celebrated in the music
hobby. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Dance |
|
|
|
From the first step of a toddler
to negotiating all those contours of a dance
performance – evolution of humankind on a
mini-scale. Dance – the natural heir to music. And,
thus the hobby. |
|

|
Art |
|
|
|
Green for lushness, Red for ire,
White for peace- Life is a colourful riot of colours,
reserved for revelry.
We, blatantly, imitate life in
Art Hobby, to save it of banal boredom. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Needle work |
|
|
|
Life is all about stitching joys
with sorrows-making them one, remaining unaffected
by both.
The hobby personifies this
philosophy on fabric, helping us to become complete
human beings. |
|

|
Nature Club |
|
|
|
|
One of our earliest
acquaintances, besides mother, is with nature.
The passion and pursuit grows, in
the hobby, in the close proximity of plants and
trees, sheltering us from all evil with their benign
presence. |
|
|
|
|
Gardening |
|
|
|
A slightly rugged cousin of the
nature club hobby. Squatting on the ground to till
the soil, grappling with all kinds of tools and
implements, and seeing life in all its starkness and
nakedness, is what this hobby is all about. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Book Reading and Poetry |
|
|
|
|
This place is book-ed. And so is
this hobby, with sufficient number of students
opting for it. One irony of mankind is that as we
age, our brains grow, but our minds shrink.
This hobby with its treasure-trove of books
elevates mind and ennobles thinking. Poetry is a
befitting bonus. |
|
|
|
|
Carpentry |
|
|
|
Yet, one more reminder of the
kind of magics our two hands are capable of
creating, transforming lifeless, plain pieces of
wood into structures and things of immense utility.
To share an encouraging thought-if wood is melleable,
so is life…….so are its problems |
|
|
|
|
Dramatics and debating |
|
|
|
Life is an assortment of
characters, all playing varying roles according to
their capacities and circumstances.
We replicate this stage of life,
in our own small way in the Junior school amphi-theatre,
preparing and sending forth actors to face the
world.
Debating inculcates the
convincing prowess in them. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Karate |
|
|
|
If knowledge lends character to
soul, then endurance does so to body. Karate hobby
chastens the slovenliness of spirit and hastens the
agility of body, thus forming safe and secure
individuals. |
|
|
|
|
Photography |
|
|
|
Drawback of eye is it cannot
reveal to the world what it sees, a camera can.
A store house of memories, it
helps you to relive those moments, when times are
not so friendly.
Photography polishes that skill
for a happy future. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Computer |
|
|
|
|
Computer is fast giving human
brain a run for its money.
Though, the truth is, it lacks
the emotional quotient of the latter and can never
replace it.
Still, it holds its own position
in the present-day world.
Thus, the indispensability of the
hobby. |
|
|
|
|
Chess |
|
|
|
Your mind needs to know the
slither of a snake, if you want to play chess well.
Moreover, Vishwanathan Anand has
given an altogether new recognition to the game in
the country.
Hence, the rush for the hobby.

Calligraphy |
|
|
|
Some people profess to know a
person’s character through his handwriting. Isn’t
that a claim enough to make the art of calligraphy
significant in its own right, besides other
‘beautiful’ reasons? |
|
|
|
|
Home Science |
|
|
|
Now, come on! How can we leave
the vital food behind?
Moreover, cooking skills merit
high, among girls, when it comes to matrimonial
qualifications.
Chefs of the country, too, are
doing a good business. Aren’t they?
The above-cited reasons make the
Home science lab a bustling place. |
|
 |
|
|
|
|
Electronics |
|
|
|
|
A maze called the electric
circuit, the rickety paths of wire ways, screw-heads
gleaming, fixedly, in their places. It’s an
altogether new world inside an electronic appliance.
Electronic hobby is our small way
of paying tribute to what was, perhaps, the greatest
invention of the last century. |
