We the students of Classes 3, 4 and 5 of Chinmaya Vidyalaya, Hyderabad went on an educational trip to Masqati Dairy Farm in Gurram Guda and Parle Biscuit Factory in Sayeedabad near Hyderabad on 5th February 2019. Last year in December 2017, we had a wonderful fun-filled day at The Hidden Castle. We all eagerly waited for the day making plans for the trip. On the field trip day we all lined up after our morning prayers, with much excitement and walked out of the classroom. We boarded the respective buses and felt too happy to go on a field trip with our school /classmates. After taking the attendance, teachers also boarded the bus and we all shouted cheerfully as the bus started. We waved our hands to our parents who were waiting outside the buses.

I think it was in October 2012, my daughter who was then studying in a play school in Columbus, Ohio, had an apple school tour to Lynd Fruit Farm at Pataskala in Ohio. We were in Columbus, Ohio at that time. There is no transport facility for the play school, so parents were asked to get their kids to Lynd Fruit farm in their own vehicles. It was a cloudy morning and the weather was quite chill. One of my daughter's classmate's parent (an Indian / Keralite) staying close to my house offered help. She took us in her car to the fruit farm. As parents were asked to accompany their kids for the school tour to Apple Farm, I got the wonderful opportunity of visiting the farm. Being a South Indian, I never got the chance of seeing apple trees. And I was too excited to see the apple farm and equally excited on plucking the delicious juicy fruits. It was an an enjoyable drive through the quiet roads in the chill and cloudy morning. We reached Lynd Fruit farm and could see many parents l...

The students of primary classes 2, 3 and 4 of Chinmaya Vidyalaya went on a Field Trip to Surendrapuri on Nov 12, 2016 (Saturday). My daughter (then in Std II) was too excited as she will be going on a long trip to Surendrapuri with her friends. The previous evening she quickly made preparations on her own like backpacking for the next day's field trip. I dumped few dry food stuffs in her backpack like biscuits, potato chips and sweet items too. The next day, I got up early in the morning to prepare and pack breakfast and lunch box for my daughter's trip. The reporting time was 8:00 a.m. My daughter too got up early than usual and got ready for the trip. By the time we reached school, I could see, as always, parents waiting at the respective classrooms to see off their dear little ones. After a couple of minutes wait, there was prayer and meditation. The class teachers took the attendance and on announcement, took the children in lines to board the respective buses. OMG! p...

It was a bright pleasant morning on Nov 14, 2016. Hindus across the world were busy celebrating Kartika Pournami - the full moon day in the Hindu month of Kartik - the most auspicious day of the month. It was a holiday for most of the schools in the city. We drove to Raj Bhavan, Hyderabad and reached the place sharp by 10:30 a.m. The reason, my daughter who studies in Std II in Chinmaya Vidyalaya at Begumpet, Hyderabad, got the wonderful opportunity of meeting our State Governor, Sri E.S.L. Narasimhan on the occasion of Children's Day celebs. Raj Bhavan is the official residence of State Governors in India. More than my daughter, it's I who got too excited and was eager to meet our Governor. On reaching the venue, we saw the primary class children and few teachers waiting at the entrance gate. One of the teachers in-charge was checking the attendance of the children. There were children from other schools too waiting at the entrance gate. Children forming lines After a...
