XAVIER'S FAREWELL CEREMONY

The passing out ceremony of the Class 12 students of St. Xavier's Collegiate School organised by the Old Boy's Association ( ALSOC ) was held on 9th February.The Chief Guest was Niel O'Brien, a Xaverian along with the Headmaster of the school, Fr. J. Francis, the Prefect,
Fr. B. D'Santos and the Hon. Secretary of ALSOC, Mr. Noomi Mehta. The event was marked by speeches by all the above and also of Mr. Andrew Singh, a teacher of the school. the prizes for academics was given during the function and ended with the award for the COMPLETE XAVERIAN which was given to Akhilesh Gupta for his all round excellence in
school over the past decade & 730 days. The Boy had really been the strongest contender for the award. After all those who have seen him at a drama, or at sports or has made a peep into his reports would have been surprised had it been somebody else! The boy was really the
Man Of The Moment. He got a gold medal, a cheque and a citation which was read out to the audience before the award was given. At the end, all the class 12 students went up to stage to sing the school anthem for the last time together before they left their portals to face the
world in the spirit of NIHIL ULTRA - NOTHING BEYOND. Surely, nothing is beyond Xaverians, nothing at all!!!

A Different Feel by Osibek Pal on Thursday, March 31, 2011 at 2:50pm  To, Manimanjari Sengupta THIS IS NOT A TRANSLATION OR AN INTERPRETATION OF THE SONG, ITS THE ENGLISH VERSION , OF " BECHE THAKAR GAAN" ORIGINAL VERSION BY ANUPAM ROY, WRITTEN IN THE SAME THEME, HOWEVER THERE ARE SOME OBVIOUS DIFFERENCES IN THOUGHT, FOR THE SAKE OF RHYME SCHEME, LET ME KNOW HOW YOU LIKE THIS VERSION...   Force me to forget a paintbrush..  And learn just light and dark..   Remember ,I wont comply...  Wont Pragmatise life, if you ask...     Banish me from your life's tell tale...  I wouldn't complain....

Just forget It!

Yippee! I have seemingly discovered one more truth about life..You might just say...hey this boy is crazy..how come he realises something everyday...But its not that..it just a self realisation that i quite excited about... I have been officially warned a large number of times to control my over exuberant side..remember writing 5oo lines on an occasion in school for being over enthusiastic...but ever since I have learnt to do it in a wiser way..or So as i call it... Now coming back to the point...As I said i have realised something.... Now i need to give a situation.... Its about a someone...who notices nothing in a mirror but himself...Of couse one would say..what else do you see in a mirror...But i have realised that there are many things that one can actually see, in the mirror...
