A Cultural Canvas with Rangoli Radiance

Greenwood High School, Hasanparthy, hosted an Inter-House Rangoli Making Competition to celebrate the Sankranthi Festival on 5th January 2025. The event was a vibrant and exciting experience for our enthusiastic girl students from classes VII to X. They participated with great zeal, showcasing their creativity, teamwork, and cultural appreciation. The competition provided a platform for students to express themselves through the traditional art form of Rangoli, highlighting the rich cultural heritage of India.

Significance of Rangoli Making

Rangoli making is a beautiful art form that involves creating intricate patterns using various materials such as powdered lime, red ochre, rice flour, colored sand, quartz powder, flower petals, colored rocks, and glitters. This traditional practice is an integral part of Indian culture, especially during festivals like Diwali, Tihar, Onam, Pongal, and Sankranthi. Rangoli designs are often passed down through generations, preserving the cultural legacy and connecting families.

Role of Rangoli During Sankranthi

Sankranthi, also known as Makar Sankranti, is a major harvest festival celebrated across India. During this festival, Rangoli plays a significant role in welcoming prosperity and happiness into homes. The vibrant designs are created at the entrance of houses to invite positive energy and ward off evil spirits. Rangoli patterns during Sankranthi often depict symbols of abundance, such as grains, flowers, and traditional motifs, reflecting the joy and gratitude of the harvest season.

The Rangoli competition’s seamless execution was made possible by the unwavering support and guidance of Greenwood’s leadership team, including Director Sri. Dr. G. Bharadwaja Naidu, General Manager Sri. A. Prabhu Kumar, Academic Principal Sri. V. V. V. Naveen Kumar, Administrative Principal Sri. T. Pavan Kumar, Vice Principal Sri . V. Suresh Kumar, and Academic Coordinator Smt. P. Kanthi. Their collective efforts ensured an enriching experience for the students, fostering a deeper connection to their cultural roots.

24 Teams of girls participated in the competition, putting in tremendous effort and showcasing their artistic skills.

Adapting to Winter: Changes, Challenges, and Care for All

Founder's Pen

11/11/2024, Monday

Winter is a season of noticeable change, bringing colder temperatures, shorter days, and unique adaptations for humans, animals, and birds alike. As winter sets in, the climate transforms dramatically, especially in colder regions. Snow may cover the ground, rivers and ponds may freeze, and chilly winds blow through the air. These changes require everyone—humans, animals, and birds—to adjust in order to survive and stay comfortable.

Winter changes the climate in many ways. The temperatures drop significantly, which is especially common in areas that experience snowfall. In some parts of the world, temperatures go below freezing, making water turn to ice. The days become shorter, while nights grow longer and colder. Cold winds make it feel even chillier than the actual temperature. These weather conditions also bring fog and frost, which reduce visibility and make travel challenging. Such changes require extra effort from all forms of life to adapt and stay warm.

Winter brings many changes to people’s daily routines. Clothing becomes thicker and warmer, as people wear jackets, sweaters, gloves, and scarves to keep warm. Households also prepare to keep the cold out, using heaters, hot water bottles, and even lighting fires in fireplaces. Food habits may change, too. Many people consume warm, nutritious foods and hot drinks like soup, tea, and coffee to keep their bodies warm. Schools and workplaces may adjust their schedules or encourage people to stay indoors during the coldest parts of the day.

However, winter also brings health challenges. Common colds, coughs, and even flu are frequent as the body becomes more vulnerable to infections. The elderly and children are particularly at risk and need extra care to stay healthy.

Animals and birds also experience significant changes during winter. Many animals, such as bears, hibernate to conserve energy during this season when food is scarce. They sleep for weeks, even months, without needing to eat or drink. Some animals, like rabbits and foxes, grow thicker fur coats to stay warm. Birds, on the other hand, often migrate to warmer regions, flying thousands of miles to find food and shelter. For birds and animals that stay put, finding food becomes a daily challenge. Many small creatures like squirrels store food in advance to survive the winter months.

Precautions for Children and Adults during Winter

To enjoy a safe and healthy winter, children and adults alike need to take certain precautions.

Dress in Layers: Wearing layers of warm clothing helps trap body heat. Woolen clothes, gloves, hats, and scarves protect against cold air and prevent heat from escaping.

Eat Nutritious Food: Hot and nutritious meals, rich in vitamins and minerals, help strengthen immunity. Warm drinks like soups, herbal teas, and hot milk are comforting and help keep the body warm.

Stay Active Indoors: While it’s tempting to stay cozy, staying active improves blood circulation and keeps the body warm. Simple indoor exercises can be great for both adults and children.

Practice Good Hygiene: Winter is flu season, so it’s important to wash hands frequently, avoid sharing personal items, and cover coughs and sneezes. This helps prevent the spread of colds and flu.

Protect Against Dry Skin: Winter air can dry out skin, so using a moisturizer is essential to avoid dry and cracked skin, especially for young children and elderly people.

We should be mindful of the fact that winter brings beauty and magic but also requires preparation and care. With the right clothing, healthy food, and safe practices, both children and adults can stay warm and healthy. Meanwhile, it’s fascinating to see how animals and birds adjust to winter in their own unique ways, reminding us of the importance of adapting to nature’s seasons. Taking precautions helps everyone—humans, animals, and birds—face the challenges of winter with resilience.

Teachers’ Day in Schools

2 Comments / Founder's Pen

01/09/2024, SUNDAY

Teachers’ Day is a special occasion celebrated in schools across the country to honor and appreciate the hard work, dedication, and influence of teachers in shaping the lives of students. It is a day filled with joy, gratitude, and reflection on the role teachers play in our personal and academic growth.

Teachers’ Day is celebrated to acknowledge the significant contributions of teachers to society. They are the guiding lights who shape the future by imparting knowledge, instilling values, and nurturing talents. Celebrating Teachers’ Day gives students an opportunity to express their gratitude and admiration for the teachers who have played a pivotal role in their development.

In India, Teachers’ Day is celebrated on 5th September every year, marking the birthday of Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, a respected scholar, philosopher, and the second President of India. Dr. Radhakrishnan believed that teachers are the backbone of society, and his dedication to education and teaching inspired the nation to observe his birthday as Teachers’ Day.

Teachers’ Day celebrations in schools are marked by various activities organized by students. On this day, students usually take over the responsibility of teaching, as a gesture of respect and understanding of the teachers’ role. Schools organize cultural programs, including songs, dances, skits, and speeches, where students showcase their talents in honour of their teachers.

Teachers play a vital role in our lives. They are more than just instructors who teach subjects like math, science, or history. They guide us, inspire us, and often serve as role models. The influence of a good teacher goes beyond the classroom, as they help shape our character, beliefs, and aspirations.

One of the most significant roles of a teacher is to nurture a love for learning. A passionate teacher can ignite curiosity in students and make them eager to explore new ideas and concepts. This love for learning stays with students throughout their lives, enabling them to adapt and grow in a constantly changing world.

Teachers also instill values such as discipline, respect, empathy, and perseverance. Through their words and actions, they teach us how to face challenges, work hard, and treat others with kindness. The lessons learned from teachers help us navigate not just our academic journey but also our personal and professional lives.

Moreover, teachers provide emotional support and encouragement to students. They recognize our potential, even when we doubt ourselves, and push us to do our best. A teacher’s belief in us can be a powerful motivator, helping us achieve goals we never thought possible.

Teachers’ Day is a reminder of the crucial role teachers play in shaping the future of individuals and society as a whole. It is a day to show appreciation for their hard work, dedication, and the impact they have on our lives. As students, it is essential to recognize the value of our teachers and the lessons they impart, for they are the ones who guide us toward becoming responsible, knowledgeable, and compassionate individuals. Celebrating Teachers’ Day in schools not only strengthens the bond between students and teachers but also highlights the importance of education in our lives.

The Embodiment of Friendship and Divine Philosophy

1 Comment / Founder's Pen

Lord Krishna, one of the most revered deities in Hinduism, represents much more than divinity. He embodies friendship, wisdom, and the very essence of life’s profound philosophies. As we celebrate Krishnashtami, it’s important to reflect on how Krishna’s life and teachings continue to inspire and guide us.

Krishna’s life is a beautiful blend of divine playfulness and deep wisdom. From his childhood, he captivated hearts with his mischievous charm and loving nature. His friendships, particularly with Sudama and Arjuna, reveal the purest forms of bond and loyalty. Krishna’s friendship with Sudama is a timeless example of how true friends value each other beyond material wealth or social status. Despite being a king, Krishna welcomed Sudama, a poor Brahmin, with open arms and treated him with utmost respect. This story teaches us that true friendship is not defined by external appearances but by inner connection and mutual respect.

Krishna’s role as a philosopher is equally significant. The Bhagavad Gita, a dialogue between Krishna and Arjuna on the battlefield of Kurukshetra, is one of the greatest philosophical texts. Through his teachings in the Gita, Krishna guides Arjuna to overcome his doubts and fears, offering profound insights into life, duty, and righteousness. He emphasizes the importance of selfless action, encouraging us to perform our duties without attachment to the outcomes. This principle of “Karma Yoga” is a cornerstone of Krishna’s philosophy, urging us to live with integrity and purpose.

Krishna’s teachings transcend time and continue to resonate with us today. His message of balance, detachment, and inner peace provides a practical approach to navigating the complexities of modern life. Whether we are dealing with personal challenges or seeking deeper meaning, Krishna’s wisdom offers guidance.

Krishna is not just a divine figure but a symbol of friendship and philosophy. His life and teachings inspire us to be better friends, embrace wisdom, and live with purpose.

As we celebrate Krishnashtami, let us remember the lessons of Krishna and strive to embody the values of love, loyalty, and wisdom in our lives.
