I think reading the third part will take some patience and after the usual OH Hell ! A third part !!! But before we delve into the musings of Cadet Druv, a look around would be ideal. The exams for the seniors have finished, while the exams, according to the new CBSE rules, for the IX will soon begin by the 20th as per the given schedule. This means the teachers are hard put to work as well as the students will enjoy the r
elaxed atmosphere since the teachers will be checking the copies during the class.And the pupils....they would be relaxing. Well, that is life ! And, to beat it what could be better than the weather that we have been blessed with by the gods themselves.However, around us there is still rain and more rain.
And the festive season ! With Idd round the corner, the world seems to be agog with the thought of the pleasures of Idd announcing the end of the holy month of Ramadan.The rural population is making a beeline for the cities to make purchases for the Day. Thus festivals come and go and life goes on and on and on. . . . .

Now continuing with the musings of Cadet Dhruv:

So much this time. Of course there is more to follow.
The Dream Tree By Master Verma
Before I knock off, here is a beautiful doodling which was contributed by the young Master Verma of our school. It seems he must have been sitting near a window with a tree outside. Maybe ! However, the doodle has a firmness with a sign of love being most prominent and the rest just hangin' around !
At  the of this article, there are some good links, worth logging onto. There is one explaining the reason why Muslims fast in the month of Ramadan. Another, to interesting articles on education and good topics of debates, article writing.It would be worth the try.
Well, it says it all ! With this I leave, till next time....
