It really set me thinking when my colleague Reena Verma asked me to pen down how I felt while making the musical ‘Roar of the Jungle’ for the ‘Grandparents’ Day cum Annual Day’, 2012.

How does a gardener feel as he sits back and surveys the little garden he has made? He looks at it with the satisfaction of having sowed the seeds, watched them grow into plants, nurtured them and fi nally seen them bear fruits. I felt akin to the gardener. But I alone did not make this garden. I had a team of most dedicated seniors,

faculty, specialists, and helpers and of course the best children in the world –the youngest of the young of GGS.

‘Roar of the Jungle’, the musical had a message that modernity and development can co-exist with conservation of Mother Earth. The story is all about some animals and tribals who are living happily in Chunmun Forest when trouble strikes. It is declared that a railway line is going to be laid through the forest and there is going to be heavy deforestation. The inhabitants of Chunmun Forest react strongly and meet with the forest offi cials.

Asghar Wajahat’s ‘Yadi’ was staged in the Multi-Purpose hall of Genesis Global School on the 7th of July’12 before a keen and discerning audience. The play was Directed by Tom Alter and produced by Monish Bhalla.

While the play had many interesting features and many fi ne performances, Tom Alter’s obstinate, sanctimonious, ponderous but always civilized Gandhi stole the show from the predictable truculence of Harish Chhabra’s Godse and from Anju Chhabra as Nirmala Devi – a delightful purveyor of rustic sarcasm and homespun wisdom aimed mostly at the prudish Mahatma, creating moments at once comic and deeply poignant. Anil George as the Jailor played the comedian and one wondered at the rationale of the characterization. Benjamin Gilani was surprisingly subdued in what was eventually a bland performance. The two lovers, P. Sikka and Vikram Davar failed to evoke much ardour but managed to convey stealth and guilt in equal proportions.

Production values were, in keeping with modern theatre traditions, stark and minimalistic with no backdrop and no attempt at simulation. The doing away with the shifting of props and the changing of sets helped set a brisk directional pace but deprived the play of more substantial atmosphere. Keeping the jail set - players included, on tab, ready to be lit up and roll and Nehru leaning over the shoulder of the action as it were, was interesting, though in Nehru’s case one wondered if the ploy was meant as a refl ection of reality!

The action of the play being confi ned to one half of the stage proved a limitation in the visual sense, from the point of view of the audience. Background music was of exceptional quality. The vocals by Dhruv, conveyed a sense of time and history. Mona Ambegaonkar was outstanding as the chastising voice of

Kasturba. Costumes were simple and elegant and the lighting effective. Sound, despite a false start, was excellent.

Tom Alter’s direction was crisp. The use of song as dialogue was strategic and greatly enhanced dramatic impact. His own performance as Gandhi was off to a slow start but as he warmed u,p he underwent complete transmutation and became indistinguishable from the persona he was portraying. It was a master class in the art and craft of acting.

There was abundant intellectual stimulation, especially towards the close of the play as the playwright sought to unravel some of the myths of sub-continental identity. By now Gandhi was in complete command as dialectical protagonist and pacifi st extraordinaire and even Godse was forced to soften. The audience was fully absorbed, if not spellbound, over the two hours of action.

I hope the play has many more showings around the country so more and more people are touched by its humaneness and rationality.

YADI – A REVIEW

THE MAKING OF ‘ROAR OF THE JUNGLE’

The confl ict is resolved peacefully wherein it is decided that a deep underground railway line is going to be made without disturbing the ecology of the area. There were interesting dialogues, beautiful dances and a breathtaking backdrop.

The making of ROJ was a lot of hard work but it was also fun. There were happy moments and anxious moments, and tense moments and euphoric moments. The minutest of detailing had to be taken care of. But all ended well when the children performed to perfection and all the hard work bore fruit. The show was appreciated by one and all. The smiles on the faces of parents, grandparents and children said it all.

I am an exchange student from Germany. Here a wonderful host family has accepted me and given me a chance to experience the every-day life of an Indian family. Also, I am proud to study in Genesis for the next 10 months. I am taking part in this programme to learn a lot about the culture, the mentality, the festivals, the customs, the food, the language and the religions of India. It is a country with a lot of differences. I am sure this year will be one of the best years in my life, with a lot of new experiences and perspectives.

The German school system is very different. At fi rst, little children from 3 to 6 are in the “Kindergarten” (nursery school). Then they change their school and study from 6 to 9 years in the “Grundschule” (primary school). After that a student has different options. After the primary school education one can go to the “Hauptschule” (secondary modern school). This kind of school teaches from the 5th to the 9th grade. The “Realschule” (junior high school) continues one more year and ends after the 10th grade. At last, the “Gymnasium” (senior secondary school). Children study up to the 12th or 13th grade.

The subjects are very similar. The main subjects are Maths, German and English. The students have a choice between Latin, French and in most schools Spanish. Otherwise the subjects are the same like Biology, Art, Music, Geography, History, Sports and so on.

In Germany the school starts at the same time as in India: 8 o’clock. Every day of the week has a different ending time. It varies

from 1 to 5 o’clock. Most children come to school by bus, car or cycle. In Germany there is no school uniform and no lunch break. We have two 20 minutes breaks and after every lesson 5 minutes free-time for changing the rooms, going to the toilet and so on. Normally, we pay nothing for the school. Education to the 13th grade is free and most children go to government schools. But there are also some private schools which take money (fees).

I don’t know which school system is better. It’s like everything in India and Germany and so it is in the rest of the world. This is just another world: It’s not good; it’s not bad and it’s just different.

NOT GOOD, NOT BAD, JUST DIFFERENT

So we started making our movie: without any script, without any camera! But then, it was no fault of ours for we got to know about this movie-making competition only fi ve days prior to the submission deadline. When asked if we could make a movie over such short time, I had rather instinctively said, "For sure."

The theme of the competition – computers – was a little odd for us to create a good storyline. Nevertheless, after nibbling at a handful of minds, we did come up with what we had called 'script'. Cool. Now: Lights, camera, action... wait, where's the camera? Ha! That was another problem we faced. Before long, Principal Sir provided us with a centuries-old handy-cam, which I fathom would have made a perfect piece for the National Museum. Sorry Sir, but the camera didn't work. Somehow, we managed to shoot the required scenes using my digital camera and a DSLR lent to us by Sarthak, to whom I am still indebted. Sticking our bums to the chairs of the Resource Centre, we completed our editing in two long days. And at last, we completed our movie, feeling just like James Cameron.

1 August was the day when our movie was to be shown to public and judged. The four of us – Praveer, Ameer, Abhishek, and me – were there at Tagore International School among students gathered there from forty other NCR schools. One after another movies were screened. I must say, not exaggerating: our movie seemed way too better than others in terms of camera and editing.

The time came to give away the awards. "The fi rst prize goes to..." All four of us exclaimed, "Genesis Global School!" But, alas, the words didn't echo. Not even for the second prize and neither for the third. We frowned. Just when everyone was getting up to depart, the speaker blared out, "We also have awards for technical excellence given by Chinh India." We sat back.

"The award for best cinematography goes to Genesis Global School." Huh? Did they say Genesis Global? Heavens yes! We walked up to the stage wide-eyed and merrily took the awards, feeling just like James Cameron.

We also got nominated to the Chinh India International Kids’ Film Festival. These days, I am working on the script for the same. And I only hope one thing: we get a good camera!

Amen!

LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION...WAIT, WHERE'S THE CAMERA?

“Don’t judge a book by its cover”. It seems that this saying is very common but when we surf through magazines the most common thing that is being advertised is “BEAUTY PRODUCTS”.

Does it really matter whether you are as pretty as Cleopatra or not? I believe what counts is that one should be beautiful at heart. Nevertheless, throughout generations, people have been using makeup to enhance their looks.

When people get old, very few accept the ravages of time and refuse to age gracefully. They would rather deceive the world and camoufl age themselves behind the layers of makeup.

Everybody has been created with an individual identity. If God had wanted us to look identical, then he would have created us

with identical features but he did not do so, and we should learn and accept ourselves the way we are.

In today’s world we judge people by their appearance. If a frail man with an ordinary khadi could move the mighty British Empire out of India and an unglamorous lady in a simple sari (I am referring to Mother Teresa), still inspires us then why are we still obsessed with those fairness creams and designer labels. It’s time that we shed off our made up skin and bring forth our natural fl avour and live the life of “Natural Beauty”. It's time we leave behind the world of cosmetics and live naturally.

BORN BEAUTIFUL!


Ever since the concept of The Trumpet was envisaged in July 2010, Mr. Pramod Sharma has been a silent and a resolute supporter of the publication. Being a visionary, he has always wanted the school newsletter to be a creative expression of the scholars. In fact, The Trumpet has always truthfully refl ected the sentiments of the students. At GGS, the mentors have imbibed the role of counselors and guides.

Mr. Gurbir Singh, too, has always extended his unwavering guidance at every step of our progress. Whenever we run into each other in any corner of the school building, he pops the same question, ‘When is the next issue of TT due?’ And that’s the moment of elation for it truly makes me realize that we are on the right path.

I left Mr. Dar’s name for the last because he is like a solid pillar, guiding and leading in the most positive manner. He is the one who tirelessly encourages every student to explore their potential and come up with something imaginative and creative.I take immense pleasure in announcing that we have four young budding journalists, who are enthusiastic and raring to go where no Genesian has ever dared to go before…..oops, I got a little carried away! Rhitik Jassar can be saucy at times but he has always shown keen interest in the production phase of TT. Achal Mishra has recently become a member of the Genesis family, but this tall, soft-spoken lad works quietly and silently and never fails to make an impact on people around him. Shinjini is a surprise pack-age, she is soft-spoken and diminutive, but can shoulder any heavy responsibilty. Nishka's quiet and ladylike persona actually adds to her mystique. They all have agreed to shoulder the responsibility of the Student Editorial Board – our fi rst one.

This should be a beacon for other aspiring writers, for it is with small steps that we take off on a fl ight towards the blue sky.

OUR GM(Mr Christopher Hanvey joined Genesis Global School as our first General Manager together with his wife, Seema Hanvey, on 1 July 2011, after a varied and interesting experience. We were lucky to meet him in his office on 2 August 2012. Here are some excerpts from this interview.)

SANU: Why does a school require a General Manager and what’s his work?

CH: The General Manager of any day school/boarding school looks after the operational part of the school i.e. Transport, Security, Administration, Housekeeping, Student Movement, etc. For the smooth running of a school, all the above departments need to function smoothly.

SANU: What positive things have you found in GGS?

CH: At Genesis we have a very vibrant community of students, teachers and other staff members. This community allows everybody to be innovative and try out new things with the support of the community.

SANU: How is GGS different from Kasiga?

CH: I was the General Manager at Kasiga School, Dehra Dun prior to joining GGS. GGS and Kasiga share both similarities and differences. In terms of similarities, they are both residential schools, offering the CBSE and Cambridge curriculum. They also have a modern and progressive vision. In terms of differences, I see GGS using more technology and incorporating enhanced methodologies of learning. The use of technology encompasses both the learning and administrative functions of the institution.

SANU: What made you decide to take up management as a career?

CH: I belong to a family which is very closely connected with the defence services. My late father

was a colonel in the army; my brother followed his footsteps and is a colonel in the army. If that was not enough, both my sisters are married to army off icers. I, too, had been selected for the army when I f inished college, but chose not to take it up because I wanted to pursue varied options which would come my way. I therefore did not join the Army.

SANU: Other than managing schools what all have you tried?

CH: This is my second stint with a school. Education has always interested me. In my stint with Kasiga School, I also taught Business Studies to the IGCSE classes i.e. IX & X. Prior to that I worked for a company overseas in consumer durables for about f ive years before returning to India in 2007.

I star ted working in 1982 with CII in Delhi, went on to market computers in education from 1984 to 1987. This involved marketing inexpensive computers to schools and preparation of educational software in collaboration with NCERT. In 1987, I moved to a design project in collaboration with NID in Ahmedabad. In the early 90s, I was Branch Manager in Mumbai for a Lalbhai Group company. I also ran my own industry for about 10 years in between.

SANU: When you were a child, what actually did you aim to become?

CH: When you're a child you get inf luenced by what is going on around you. You get inf luenced by movies, friends and relatives or stories that you read in the newspapers and library books. You sometimes also get inf luenced by what your family does or is doing. All these inf luences run through your mind and for you to keep changing your mind about what you want to do is perfectly natural. It's different for different people but I think by the time you are about 13 or 14, some ideas seem more powerful than others and perhaps

that is what you then star t looking at more seriously. For me, it was the army which was very strong in my mind because of my family as I mentioned earlier.

SANU: What are the qualif ications required to be a GM?

CH: To be good at what you do and what you need is the ability to separate the grain from the chaff. Every day you are presented with many happenings and issues. You need to choose what it is that needs a solution from you. Of these, you will provide solutions for some and you will choose to work on solutions on another day for the others, always keeping in mind that there are one-time immediate solutions and long-term structured solutions. You also need to look ahead. Of course, there is no substitute for hard and sincere work. To be happy to work in a school in any capacity, you need to be happy to be amongst young students.

SANU: Were you supported by your family members to become a GM?

CH: Families are a wonderful thing. They always support you with whatever you do. My father always said what you do is not as important as the passion with which you do it.

SANU: Do you get stressed from your work at the end of the day?

CH: Fortunately, since I enjoy being with young people and students, I do not feel stressed at the end of the day. And once in a while, if I do, there's nothing that a good book or music cannot set right.

SANU: Yours is an intercommunity marriage of an earlier generation. Surely, there must have been some resistance from the family.

CH: This is a very interesting question coming from you. There is always resistance to change. We need

to understand that change is the only constant and it is change that enriches our lives. We travel all over the world to experience and enjoy different cultures. India is one of the most diverse countries in the world whichever way you look at it. So I thought why not star t at home. The fact that I belong to an Anglo Indian family, my paternal grandmother was Dutch and my maternal grandfather was a Scotsman, assured that an inter community marriage was not dwelt upon. Of the four siblings in my family, three are enjoying India's diversity and culture in the same way.

Thank you, Apoorv and Utsav for this candid session which I have thoroughly enjoyed.

MODEL UNITED NATIONS

MUN PARTICIPATION OF GENESIS GLOBAL SCHOOL FOR THE YEAR 2012-13

Model United Nations (also Model UN or MUN) is an academic simulation of the United Nations that aims

to educate participants about current events, topics in international relations, diplomacy and the United

Nations agenda. The participants role-play as diplomats representing a nation or NGOs in a simulated session

of a committee of the United Nations, such as the Security Council or the General Assembly. Participants

research a country, take on roles as diplomats, investigate international issues, debate, deliberate, consult,

and then develop solutions to world problems. More recently, simulation of other deliberative bodies, such

as the United Nations National Security Council, has been included in Model United Nations, even if they

are completely unrelated to the UN or international affairs as a whole. In general, the participants that the

executive panel considers to be most contributing are given awards, such as 'Best Delegate Award', and

Special Jury Award. Most Model UNs are simulations of a body in the United Nations system, such as:

• The General Assembly in both plenary form and within its functional committees

• Economic and Social Council and its specialized councils and agencies

• Security Council (SC)

• United Nations Development Program (UNDP)

• Human Rights Council (UNHRC)

• International Monetary Fund (IMF)

• World Health Organization (WHO)

• World Trade Organization (WTO)

GERMAN DAYGGS celebrated the German Day on October 3. A special assembly was organized and the event was marked by painting (for theJunior School) and article writing (for the senior section) competitions.

The following article by Sarthak Kulshreshtha, class X A, was awarded the first prize.

BERLIN WALL: FALL OF THE WALL AND THE RISE OF INTEGRITYAfter the Second World War, Germany was divided into two parts- East Germany and West Germany.

East Germany adopted communalism whereas West Germany adopted democracy. The Berlin wall divided these two countries. This was a physical division between the two countries. East Germany, being under the Soviet Union, imposed many restrictions on the people and the economy became unstable.

On the other hand, West Germany provided better living conditions and the economy was quite stable. Seeing this, people started migrating to Western Germany. More than two million people migrated to West Germany.

To prevent the citizens from going away, the Berlin wall was erected. Oppressed by the tyranny of the East German government, the people decided to bring down the wall. The East German Government realized that the situation was out of control. They unified the two countries, thus forming a united Germany. People realized that the welfare of the country is only possible if the people are united.They believed in the saying “united we stand, divided we fall.”

This unification of people developed the feeling of brotherhood among the people. All this led to the rise of the Germany that we know now. People started working together and contributed towards the progress of the country.This led to the rise of integrity in Germany.

REPORT

SLMUN 2012 FRIENDS, FOREIGN, FUN!

DAVMUN Training programme was an interesting experience for all of us. The main goal of the workshop was to familiarize us with the rules of procedure of a MUN conference. We went through a rigorous two day training session to mould us into aspiring young MUN-ers.

We kicked off Day 1 with a presentation giving us a very basic understanding of what an MUN actually is: a simulation of the actual United Nation’s council wherein we shed our actual identities and become delegates of the respective countries allotted to us and represent our respective nation inside the Model United Nation’s council.

This was followed by a very gritty three hour long session where we were taught about the proceedings of a Model United Nations conference. It was mostly technical, although our trainers more than often dropped in with some very useful hints and tips on gaining an edge in an MUN council.

Lunch followed the more interesting session: how to do research for an MUN. Without research, one is crippled inside an MUN conference, for you can only speak and make your point heard if you know your country and its foreign policies well. And for that, you need your research. Even here, we

were taught the more technical aspects of research; which sites to use, which reports would be considered as reliable and which not, and so on.

We started afresh on Day 2, which turned out to be much more interesting. We were all eagerly anticipating the Mock Session which ran through the entire day. We had done our homework well and were quite familiar with our allotted countries (mine was Jamaica).

The mock session was amazing. A smooth, streamlined debate ensued; punctuated by regular informal sessions where we lobbied for support amongst our fellow delegates. At the point when the debate became heated, the executive board was to ensure a return to room temperature.

We learned quite a lot and returned from there with our minds bursting with knowledge. The training session taught us a lot, and I am confi dent that we will be able to give a distinguished performance in the actual MUNs.

On 4 August, 2012 a delegation of 10 students left for Sri Lanka to attend an MUN Conference. I was a part of it!

After days of rigorous training and extensive research, we found ourselves in Colombo, still preparing! Amazingly we weren’t alone: delegates from countries like China, Bangladesh, India and Sri Lanka were there, all sitting with their laptops in hand…at 2 o’clock in the morning! The tiring journey forced us to retreat to our rooms as soon as we had had our dinner. The next morning was a blur. Everyone was running around getting ready. We had a frantic breakfast and hopped on the bus. Since we were representing Nigeria and Belize, we had to wear formals. The opening ceremony was fantastic: there were traditional dances, songs and the Chief Guest was the Education Minister of Sri Lanka. All in all, it was very entertaining and helped us understand the Sri Lankan culture better.

I was in the Human Rights Council representing Nigeria and it was amazing! At fi rst I was really nervous, because, even though I knew all the rules, it was pretty intimidating sitting around with delegates who have had years of experience.

Gradually, I became more confi dent, but not enough to speak up! At fi ve in the evening, we left for the hotel and spent the remainder of the day enjoying ourselves with our friends.

Next morning we again had a session from 9 am to 5 pm. This day I enjoyed myself even more as we made the draft resolution (which is every committee’s goal) and I was myself a signatory. I even gave my name for the Speaker’s List but unfortunately my turn didn’t come. However, that doesn’t matter. It was an enjoyable day.

On reaching the hotel, all of us sat down to chat about the day’s events and what we enjoyed the most. The third day was similar: we made another resolution (solution to the agenda) and fi nalized both of them. But the best part was the feeling of doing something new, something exciting. It was such a fantastic experience that I don’t think I have a choice other than attending more and more MUNs!

SL MUN 2012Since I was fi rst told about the MUN being held in Sri Lanka, I knew that this is going to be awesome. So I signed up without giving it much of a thought to what was about to come…

We were allotted our committee as soon as we had given our names for the MUN. I was pretty happy with mine...The Economic and Social Council representing Nigeria. We were given our agendas and topic for each committee. After a lot of boring yet useful training and a LOT of research, we fi nally reached Colombo, Sri Lanka.

Our trip was a 3-Day conference...So we left from Delhi on the 4th of August. After reaching late in the night and being tired, we all retired to our beds as we had a very important next day.

The opening ceremony started with many beautiful Sri Lankan students performing their traditional music and dances. What a rich cultural heritage Sri Lanka has! After the grand opening ceremony, we all were sent to our respective committees. While I was in the ECOSOC, my other friends were in different committees…which made it a bit scary for me!

Our committee had a group of some awesome people as our Exec Board. Our agenda was set and the committee was ready for some heated debate between the world’s major powers discussing about “The Green Collar Jobs and their necessity as to fi ght unemployment and to support sustainable development.” Since the delegate of Nigeria didn’t have much to contribute on the topic, I decided to stay back and observe the conference. But I couldn’t hold myself for long….As the

debate proceeded I witnessed so many allegations put upon USA by China or upon Russia by UK. This made me want to participate in the debate, so I jumped in! After the resolution were submitted, it was time for the committee to suspend the meeting and for me to come back to the hotel and process the day that had been so wonderful and so full of knowledge (and also to have fun along with all my fellow delegates of Nigeria).

The second day of the conference was quite slow and boring as only the resolutions were discussed and amended. Gradually many of the delegates were fi nding it hard to stay awake through the session! But God bless the lunch break! It was time to refresh ourselves. I was able to come back to my senses. Soon the committee came back into session and the torture began again. But after a few hours the new agenda was set and some of the enjoyment came back into the committee. ECOSOC had some very entertaining delegates who made sure that every delegate was having a nice time by cracking some jokes.

Although the third day saw all the major countries debated, eventually everyone became relaxed and calm as we knew the 3-day fun was coming to an end they were signing each other’s placards as we all had made some really good friends in the course of these three days.

According to me, this trip to Sri Lanka was quite a learning experience and fi lled with loads of fun and enjoyment.

I am inspired by my favourite athlete.Without him, his team is incomplete.

He is a basket-baller,At six- foot-nine,

He is defi nitely taller!He makes his team shine.

He is known for his talent of offense,And is always there for his team’s defence.

Oh! He is none other thanMy favourite athlete is Kevin Durant.

Where did you go, my very own?Where did you go, leaving me alone?

I looked for you everywhere, but in vainCome back to me merrily, once again.

Did you go to some far off place?Ugh, was I really such a menace?

Or did that bloody endless clock took you away?Not caring that I will be left to mingle with

dismay.

Sorry, if I did something wrong.Now come back lest it be too long.

“Where did you go?” regretting, I stood.Where did you go, my childhood? Achal Mishra

Where Did You Go?

Does anybody ever think about it?The Wars over the World and between the countries,

Many die who have nothing to lose,Many die who have infi nite things to lose.

They do this for peace,Then why not start our bit for it?

Their corpses lie on the war grounds,Why to start the war?

Unless you will want peace.

Violence and peace everywhere,It depends on you what to choose,

You get your life only this once.People die and take birth every day,

It depends on you how you want to live today!

If you want peace then why fi ghtAnd if you don’t want peace then why live.

Always stand together as oneNot as many who died for nothing.

So let’s enjoy the peaceful lifeRather than being a threat to this world.

Need Peace, Why War?

You get it this once,Feel it,

It’s your life,You have no choice,

Just live it.

You have to win it,Practice it,

It’s your game,You have a choice,

It’s your wish.

Don’t you want it?Give it to me,

It’s so precious,You don’t get it

For free.

It brings you so manyOpportunities, choicesIt also brings for you

Circumstances, mourning timesBut you should know how to go about it.

Again I would sayIt has many turns

It has funIt has griefs

But just live it
