Lala Lajpat Rai, the ‘Lion of Punjab’, continues to inspire the students of Modern

School and bring out the best in them. The Biennial Lajpat House function was

held on 3rd May, 2019. The exhibition’s theme was ‘The Galaxy- A Dimension of

the Unknown’. The function commenced in the HLL Auditorium. The occasion

was graced by the Chief Guest, Mr Bharat Sharma, Director, Bhoomika Creative

Dance Centre, accompanied by the Principal, Dr Vijay Datta. After the lighting of

the ceremonial lamp, Kavya Aggarwal (S6-G) performed a graceful Vandana to

invoke the blessings of Goddess Saraswati. This was followed by a foot tapping

performance by the House orchestra accompanied by rhythmic yoga which was

performed by Saumya Panwar (S6-B). The House Ballet was a tribute to the role

of grandparents in the current times. The next performance was a western

mash-up by a talented pianist and singer duo, Disha Aggarwal (S7- B) and Ira

Agrawal (S4-A). The hall echoing with melodies was soon replaced by fits of

laughter as the members of Lajpat House represented ‘Kaamchor’, an

adaptation of a short story written by Ismat Chughtai. The atmosphere became

tranquil with a reverberating patriotic song ‘Ae Watan’ sung by the House led by

Aditya Pathak (S7-C). The members of the house were appreciated immensely

by the Chief Guest and the Principal.
