Classes VI and VII went to Jogi- Bhadak on 8th August. This water fall is located in Manpur. It was really a trek full of fun, enjoyment and excitement. In bus we played antakshri, we sang a lot of songs. When we reached Manpur it was around 11:30. When we started the trek, at first we saw a lot of mint (podinhara) planted around. Then some of my friends and I started to collect some stones present over there. The one which I picked up looked like a crystal! On some stones fungus was also there. Then as we moved beyond, I was very scared because the area seemed a bit dangerous also. But our mentors were with us and they guided us. Then we stopped in between for some rest and to have lunch. At lunch time we were feeling very hungry. We had brought our own food and some of us had already started finishing our lunch boxes while we were still walking!. After lunch we walked for some more time and then we were almost near the river. Then the real fun began. Within no time, all of us were in the river, splashing water at each other. We had a lot of fun in the river. We continued playing in the river for nearly three hours and then we changed and came back to the school, this time also we were busy playing antakshari in the bus. One lesson that I did learn is that I need to be both mentally and physically strong. This was a good test of my stamina and endurance.

4th August - a very auspicious day, the birth of Kishore da. Class 8 Vasant got the golden opportunity to visit Indore Christian College, where Kishore da got his higher education. He made some of his wonderful songs in the college itself which are very well known. He dedicated his life for music and became a famous personality in the world. When we went there, an uncle guided us and told whatever he knew about Kishore Da. In a room all his memories were reserved with the help of some clippings, cutouts, photos and many more things. Few of my classmates got the opportunity to sing with Srichand uncle. He was a person in college who immitated and admired him for what he was. After all these plesant things, media came and captured those wonderful moments.While the media was on their job, the principal came and gave him honour by saying few words about him.
I would like to wind up by saying that we are looking for some more such golden opportunities.
