Today
the Confessions of the Batch of 2016
It seems impossible to capture 90 people, 13 years, moments, memories, and
entire lifetimes into a few hundred words. But finally, we decided on confessions- confessions that encompass the Batch of 2016’s entire school experience.
We confess to having transformed ourselves. Oversized maroon tracksuits
have given way to altered shirts and salwars. Once chubby cheeked and acne
prone – our classmates now boast the fittest of physiques and instagram-ready
pouts.
We have the greatest camp stories ever. We’ve done it all — from shaving people’s moustaches in their sleep, and having cross-tent gossip sessions, to sneaking out at midnight to sleep under the stars. But then, we’ve also stood out
on snowy Himalayan trails to lend a helping hand to our fellow trekkers, performed ‘Kumla Vista’ motivation songs, and juggled toiletries as our friends
used makeshift loos.
We have only recently gotten to know our teachers. We have come to see them
as comrades, friends, and family. We will always remember the countless occasions on which we dodged expertly thrown chalk, or were made to stand
outside class. Talking to our teachers, we’ve discovered penchants for shayari, a
love for zumba, secret service experiences and exotic Tollywood connections.

Students from the Nishayamoto High School in
Japan visited us on the 2nd of November.
Subject Awards were given on the 16th of November.
We celebrated our 26th founders day on the 18th
of November. The Excellence awards were given on
Founder’s Day as well.
We have some jokes that we will never let go of. Ever. We obsess over the
beauty of Nicole, the superiority of Abhishek, the amazing friday act renditions of ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’, the legendary 2390, and the motto or
“mottu” of our school.
We are party animals. We love parties. Especially dance parties. Our class
is filled with its very own Govindas and Prabhu Devas- masters of steps
to every song. From Gallan Goodiyan to Get Low, we are always ready to
shake a leg.
We to chilling out in school more than we study. Half of us live for HALO
in lunch break. You will not find a single macbook in the school which isn’t
filled with our selfies. If all else fails, we play music from the smartboard
in 12 B and dance our best Bollywood, or play with Jazz and Skippy, our
favourite school dogs.
We admit that we have never fully thanked our teachers, staff, and school.
This school has given us a treasure of precious memories to look back on
and tough lessons we can proudly say we learned from. Dear Ms. Krishnan
and Mr. Kapoor, no amount of open letters can express how much we love
you. We confess that the people we might have taken for granted were the
people that always had our best interest.
However hardened and indifferent we sometimes may seem, these beige
and maroon walls of Vasant Valley will forever be imprinted in our hearts
as home. I don’t think any of us will be able to sit through a college lecture
without our minds drifting off to the sun-drenched alcoves of school. It’ll
take a long time to hit us that our time in Vasant Valley is over- that the
Vasant Manch, the Big Field, courtyard, and the Centre Steps will no longer
be witness to our loud laughs and excited murmurs. That we won’t line up
for assembly at 7:25, like we have so punctually for our time here.
As the Batch of 2016 we know, that we will never forget this school,
these years, and these moments. And in the immortal words of Badshah from the movie Khoobsurat, ‘Abhi toh party shuru hui hai’.

Humans Without Humanity
As Friday the 13th of November 2015 loomed upon us it indeed was a poignant day for humanity. As noises of explosions
and gunshots encircled the globe the screams for help echoed
from every corner. A state of emergency was declared across
France as Paris was terrorized with a total of about six attacks
throughout the city. Around 80 innocent bystanders of a rock
concert were mercilessly killed by heavily armed gunmen
while many more were taken hostage. Triple suicide bombings
also took place outside Stade de France, the national stadium
wherein French president Francios Hollande was viewing a
friendly football match between France and Germany. This
heart wrenching incident has left everyone shell-shocked and it
is extremely upsetting to see that the world has been reduced to
a battlefield in which we immediately turn to weapons and violence to make our voices heard. The organized ambush came
as a result of France being a member of the US led coalition
against ISIL warriors in Syria. While the death toll has risen to
more than 120 in Paris this isn’t the only tragedy that struck the
world on November 13, 2015.
sein in 2003. The heart ache doesn’t seem to end on that particular week as Beirut witnessed a twofold suicide attack on the
12th of November, 2015. The attack carried out by ISIS took
place during rush hour in a civilian neighbourhood to increase
the death toll. While at least 43 people were murdered and 200
more wounded these attacks seem to have been a result of the
Lebanese political movement Hezbollah.
On one hand incidents of terror like these make us loose almost all faith in humanity while on the other instances of
people helping victims and opening their doors to people in
need thwart the purpose of the attack in the first place. If we
stand together as a world instead of different nations terrorism
cannot defeat us. Our prayers are with all those who lost their
loved ones in any one of these attacks. We stand collectively
and pray for a better world.
- Asees Kaur, 10
The Islamic state has taken responsibility for the suicide bombing in Baghdad that beleaguered Shiites. The bombing took
place at the funeral service of a Shiite army fighter who lost
his life in battle against ISIS. These attacks wounded a dozen
people and cost the lives of about 21. Iraq has been tormented
by partisan clash mostly between the Shia and Sunni Muslims
since the U.S. driven attack that toppled despot Saddam Hus-
Through The Eight-Fold Path
Gautama Buddha was born as Prince Siddhartha Gautama, in the
6th Century BCE, in a town in Nepal.When he was very young, a
renowned priest had given a prophecy that said that he would ‘either
become a skilled warrior, or a saint.’
His father was worried and in order to make sure that his son would
proceed according to his wishes, Siddhartha was made to grow up
in a protected, luxurious environment inside the walls of the palace,
away from the sights of human suffering.
One day, when the prince was about twenty-nine years of age, he
persuaded his charioteer into taking him to see the kingdom outside.
He was shocked to see an aged man, a sick man, and corpse. All of
this was unknown to him before and his charioteer explained him
the realities of old age, disease and death. He also saw a wandering
ascetic.
This is what caused him so leave the luxuries of his life, his family
and his kingdom to go and live an ascetic life trying to find a way of
relieving the universe of this suffering. After spending the next six
years practicing the ascetic life he decided that he needed answers
elsewhere. Siddhartha then settled into meditation under a sacred
fig called ever after as the Bodhi Tree. He sat still, untouched and
undisturbed by all distractions and soon realized enlightenment, becoming the great Gautama Buddha.
This year, for Vasant Valley School’s 26th Founders day, the theme
was “Buddha”.
- Ananya Jain, 10
The life and teachings of the great Gautama Buddha were displayed
magnificently through the various dances. His birth as a prince, his
young years and then also his marriage. That was followed by his
first experience with the realities of human frailty of youth, sickness
and old age.
Succeeding that, his journey to enlightenment was depicted with an
array of lights and lastly the show ended in all its grandeur with a
divine performance showing the path to Nirvana.
Our Very Own Nirvana
Class eleven brings with itself a wave of excitement. The freedom to choose
our subjects, the life changing experience of Yamuna Yatra, preparation
for our SATs and obviously, our last Founder’s Day dance. Throughout the
year, we waited anxiously for what would be not only school’s but also our
grand finale. We crossed our fingers and hoped that we would have the
opportunity to break a leg to Bollywood numbers, the way batches before
our’s did. And how utterly disappointed we were, when instead of dhinchak
music and ghagra-kurta costumes, Karsh Kale’s sombre beats and Buddha’s
enlightenment became our reality. We tried to convince teachers to change
our theme. When that didn’t work, we tried to get them to change our music. But when that didn’t work either, it came down to us; to try and change
our perspective and turn what had been given to us into the best possible
dance. And we did it.
Over the course of those two months, we grew to like our music, like our
dance and especially like our choreographers. But a thought greater than
just the dance began to form in our minds. It began to seep into our being
that for the last time, lessons would turn into practice time, for the last
time, run-throughs would mean playing ‘Messages’ and ‘Mafia’ and for the
last time, lights rehearsal and 17th November would mean ghost stories in
the dark. And as we walked through the wings, on Founder’s Day, onto the
stage, with our costumes glittering in the bright light and music blaring
through the speakers, it hit us. This would be the last time the centre stage
would be home to the dance, the feet and the hearts of the Batch of 2017
beating as one.
And so we admit,
that we will miss
Praveen sir asking
us, “Are you ready?”
or whistling to us
and promising us
he’d give us a dance
that will get a standing ovation. We will
miss the costumes
that made us want
to break into Jailhouse Rock. We’ll
miss our seniors
and our teachers
running after us to
make sure we had
our make-up on.
We’ll miss the long
practices that gave
us bruises on our
knees. We’ll miss
the feeling of being on stage, as one
entire batch. We’ll miss all our choreographers and our brilliant lifts. We
might have stumbled on that stage or forgotten our steps or screamed while
running to our positions, but we admit we had a good time.
It’s been rightly said that it isn’t about the destination, but the journey.
Though it wasn’t all that we had wanted, it was more than enough for
most of us to know, that our long journey culminated into a beautiful
end, our own little nirvana.
-Kamya Yadav, 11

जेल में लिखी किताबें
किताबे हमारे जीवन का बहुत ही महत्वपूर्ण हिस्सा है ।
बचपन में वह हमारे सोच व विचार को आकार दे ते है ।
किताबें मनोरं जन का एक रूप है जो लोगों को एक
अलग दनु िया में ले जा सकती है । अजीब बात है
कि किताबे कोई भी लिख सकता है । और भी अजीब
बात यह है कि जेल में लिखी पुस्तकें सबसे ज़्यादा
अंतर्दृष्टि प्रदान करती है । अगर दे खा जाए तो यूरोप का

An Emotional Adventure
The clock struck one. Everyone turned around and stared, it was time for ‘The Adventurous Five’ meeting.
They hadn’t had one for a long time. The meeting took place in Peter and Lucy’s house. Peter is the head
of the adventurous five.Peter and Lucy are brother and sister. The other members are Jack, Cobbin and a
dog named Scamper. Peter and Lucy informed the other members the day before and sure enough they
came but nobody remembered the password to enter the meeting. Only Jack and Scamper remembered it.
The password was ‘wiff’. Peter had called for a meeting because he had seen something suspicious. He
told the adventurous five that, day before yesterday, he and Lucy had gone to the field next to an abandoned house to fly his plane and it had landed on the abandoned house’s balcony. When he climbed
the balcony to get his plane, he saw that the heater was on in one of the rooms. What he couldn’t understand was that how could the heater be ‘on’ if nobody was allowed there except a gardener who watered the plants and even he wasn’t allowed to go inside the house. Peter thought of going inside to
investigate but the gardener shooed him away. Hearing Peter say that the adventurous five got all excited. All the members of the adventurous five thought that the gardener was staying at the house.
Peter said, “ We’ll decide what we’ll do in the meeting tomorrow.”
The next day when everybody came they were happy to see some scrumptious cake and lemonade on the
table. Lucy said that her mother had made some food for the meeting. All the children ate their food and
took an hour to decide what they should do. In the end they decided to call the police. When the police came
the Adventurous Five took them to abandoned house. The police went upstairs as Peter told them in which
room the heater was on. When they opened the door to the room, sure enough they saw the gardener. The
police let him stay in the house because he was sick. The gardener told the police that he was homeless. This was
the end of a rather emotional adventure for the Adventurous Five.

The top 10 moments of the
TICK TOCK
Great American Circus
Straight off the bat, you spend twenty-six years
asleep. In the rare case you didn’t know that is a lot
of time. Just to add to that you use up seven years
lying in wake trying to sleep and hence you can say
insomnia does take its toll. To all those of you reading this article and thinking that it was not worth
the effort don’t worry, the average human being
spends about five months of his/her life complaining and moaning. That’s eight minutes every day.
Every few years, the entire political system is thrown into a frenzy as the American Presidential debates commence. As
every time before,the race for 2016 has
too promised as much of debate with
fervour, anger and determination!
1)The clash between Donald Trump’s
election slogan ‘How to Make America
Great Again’ and the name of his new
book ‘Crippled America’.
Why is this man so confused-all the
time!
2)How Republican candidate Scott
Walker lead the pack of 17 candidates
at one point but had to drop out after
3 months as his vote share was nearing
0%.
How did he manage to do that?
3)Ben Carson called Obamacare the
worst thing since slavery.
Either Carson’s dictionary does not
know how to define slavery or he does
not know what Obamacare is, but it
clearly seems to be both cases here!
4)A 92 year old woman has registered to
vote for the first time,simply to cast her
ballot for Trump.
When Obama ran for for President,similarly a 108 year old woman registered
to vote for the first time too, so OLD IS
GOLD!
5)Jeb Bush, the brother and son of former Presidents, excluded his surname
‘Bush’ from his campaign altogether.
Guess Jeb wants to go all alone!
6)Trump’s announcement of the Trump
Wall between Mexico and the USA,built
and paid for by the Mexicans themselves.
52% of Trump’s ventures have ‘Trump’
in them,this is simply another attempt
to increase the number!
7)Ben Carson said that many Americans
are so stupid that they’d vote for Satan.
Surely, many of them are stupid that they Football is a fun sport and even better to watch. So

Homosexuality is Not A Disease
A student studying in China, who goes by the pseudonym Qiu Bai, was looking through
textbooks as a freshman two years ago whilst searching for answers towards her own
sexuality and came upon an issue stating that homosexuals can change their sexual orientation through therapy.
She, being unclear about her own sexual orientation, felt horrible as this textbook classified homosexuality as a psychological disorder. She therefore decided to take a stand
against this discrimination. She later discovered a 2014 census taken by China’s Tong
Cheng Gay and Lesbian Campus Association which revealed that over 40% of Chinese
Textbooks published after 2001, which was the year in which homosexuality was officially removed off of China’s list of mental disorders, were still classifying homosexuality
as a psychological disorder.
This led Qiu Bai to write an open letter to the Chinese Ministry of Education, highlighting the errors and requesting corrections. After a few months of
not getting a response Qiu Bai decided to file a lawsuit against
these companies in August of 2015, which was heard by the
Municipal Intermediate People’s Court in Beijing who have decided to hold a second court hearing.
Qiu Bai with her never-ending persistence has said that she will
not give up fighting for her cause until and unless the Ministry
of Education takes action and change this illicit, homophobic
classification.
