October 2012 [Vol 1 Issue 4]

Welcome to yet another issue of Prim Buddies! October was adventurous with the cyclone Nilam hammering Chennai. We were closed for few days, letting the kids appreciate the forces of Nature. How infinitely powerful the winds can be.. teaching us the simple, poetic wind that wipes away our heartaches can be mighty and mammoth as well. We learnt something from Nilam too. We learnt how small and insignificant we become in front of the expansive creations of the Divine. We learnt how significant we can still be, living and contributing every moment to the fullest. A truly humbling experience.

We celebrated Dr. Abdul Kalam’s birthday. The genius and the inspirer was honoured to our level best. Our first attempt at dedicating a day to the senior members of the Primrose family, our Grand Parents, was a big success. Heartfelt thanks to all the grand parents for so unreservedly joining in. All for the happiness of their proud grandchildren. The little ones in the KG sections became Community Helpers for day. Thanks to our lovely kids and their ever supporting parents.

If I had the wings…

If I have wings. I will enjoy like a Bird.

I will come to school and return to

home with the help of my wings. I will

go to forest and collect different types

of fruits. I will visit to my native

frequently and meet my grandfather

and mother. I will go around the world

and see different countries, people,

hills, rivers, valley’s etc.

If I have wings I will fly high. If I

have wings I will go to all places

quickly. If I have wings I will

enjoy the journey because I

don’t like car due to vomiting. If

I have wings I will reach mount

Everest and fly our national flag

saying loudly “Vanda Matharam”.

D.R. Varshnee, Std II

If I have Wings. If I have wings. I could

fly. I could fly up to touch the sky. I

would feel like a bird and fly around.

The world without any visas or

passport. I would visit all the beautiful

creations of God like mountains,

deserts, north poles etc. If I have

wings I could take patients to hospitals

without bring stuck in traffic jam. But

the truth is I don’t have wings. God

has gifted me many other good things

using which I can still help others.

Natania Meryn, Std II

If I have wings. I will go high up

in the sky, over the hills, over

the trees, over the mountains &

over the oceans. I will fly along

with birds without any worries &

fear. I will visit every corner of

the world to hear voices and

laughter. If I have wings, I will

bring you by my side every

sunrise and every sunset. If I

have wings. I will enjoy my life

most.

King Krishnadeva Raya was the

ruler of Vijayanagar kingdom in

South India. Tenali Raman served

in the king’s court. All courtiers

were jealous of Tenali and told

the king that he can change iron

into gold and that he doesn’t

share the secret with anybody.

The king asked Tenali whether it

was true. Tenali asked for time to

prove himself. He brought a dog

to the court with a tail tied to a

pipe. The king and all others

laughed at his foolishness. The

king told Tenali that the dog’s tail

cannot be straightened. Tenali

tells to the king, “Same way, one

can never make gold from iron.

King understood that his

courtiers were jealous of Tenali.

He scolded them and rewarded

Tenali.
