was held from 28 December 2010 to 24 

January 2011. It had a grand Opening 

Ceremony on 30 December 2010 at 

CMS Kanpur Road auditorium. 

Children from 12 countries lived here 

happily together for a whole month and 

learnt each other's customs, traditions, 

and food habits. They became close 

friends during the camp, promising to 

each other life - long friendship. The 

objective behind keeping these children 

of varied culture at the camp for one 

month was to cultivate the feelings of 

World Brotherhood, World Peace and 

World Unity in their tender hearts. 

During their stay at the camp, the 

children got the experience of global 

living as citizens of the world. The 

feelings thus formed by them were 

evident at the time of their departure to 

their countries when they bade tearful 

farewell to one another.

CMS to observe Valentine's 

Day as Family Unity Day 

14th February is observed the world over 

as Valentine's Day. On this day Saint 

Valentine laid down his life to uphold the 

institution of marriage. He was beheaded 

by King Claudius II who had forbidden 

his soldiers to get married as he beleived 

that marriage would undermine their 

valour. CMS observes this sacred day as 

Family Unity Day since it has discovered 

the true objective of St. Valentine's 

conviction about the institution of 

marriage.

CISV — Hum Saath Saath Hain Village 

Where the past meets the present 

From Sweden with love 

Unity gives us strength 

Delegates from 12 countries of the world made up the CISV Global Village 

held at CMS Kanpur Road from 28 December 2010 to 24 January 2011 

th 

This was the 17 Children's 

International Camp hosted by City 

Montessori School. It was held at CMS 

Kanpur Road Campus. Delegates arrived 

from 12 countries and lived here for a 

whole month with weekend breaks with 

the host families. National nights at the 

camp were special occasions when the 

delegations cooked their traditional 

food for all the campus. At the Open Day 

of the camp, held on 13 January, 2011, 

the delegates dressed up in their 

national costumes presented their 

country's culture through songs, dances 

and skits. 

The aim of Hum Saath Saath Hain Village 

was to foster cross cultural friendships 

and build strong relationships between 

children in a multilingual and 

multicultural setting. When the time 

arrived for the children to depart and fly 

back to their respective countries on 24 

January, most of them were in tears. 

The emotions they had built up for a 

month have created strong bonds of 

CISV delegation from Guatemala 

friendship that touched their hearts and 

they became the ambassadors of love, 

hope, peace and unity. The camp sowed 

the seeds of a better world in the future. 

It was a positive step in breaking the 

barriers of caste, creed, race and colour 

– so aptly expressed in the CISV song – 

Here in this village you may see 

Children living happily 

Different race and different land 

Here we come to understand 

One another's point of view 

Learning through the things we do 

How alike am I to you 

Here we live and eat and sleep 

Talk and laugh and sometimes weep 

Here we share our hopes and fears 

Build a bridge across the years 

Sow a seed and plant a tree 

Beneath whose branches there may be 

All the nations gathered free 

That our children so may grow 

In a world we did not know 

Sharing all they have to give 

Learning how to love and live 

In our hands the future lies 

Seize the moment there it flies 

Stamp the present with an act 

Dare to make our dreams a fact.

CMS BULLETIN — POWER OF PEN 2010 FEBRUARY 2011 (6) 

FIRST PRIZE 

Power of Pen 2010 organised by CMS Editorial Department 

The Clock Struck One ….. 

The clock struck one and I was still awake. It was for the 

first time I slept soundly at night since I received my call 

letter from Michigan University, USA. I was scared of 

sleeping. I knew what would happen as soon as my lids 

shut. Again those nightmares! I had been getting them ever 

since I had received my call letter. 

I see myself sitting on my seat in the plane. It takes off. 

Memories of my home – my parents warning me at the 

airport, my brother with tears in his eyes hugging me run 

like a film in my mind. These images occupy my attention 

and I finally realize what homesickness is all about. I start 

having butterflies in my stomach. As I am thinking about 

my family, my life in my city and how everything is going 

to change. I feel shaking. May be it is my imagination. No, 

smoke is filling the entire cabin. As I try to focus my 

thoughts on what is happening I hear the pilot's voice 

announcing that there is some technical fault in the plane's 

engine and we will have to prepare ourselves for our 

emergency landing. He can't complete his sentence 

because he is interrupted by a blast and soon the entire 

cabin is engulfed in flames…. 

I woke up bathed in sweat. My mistake. I had given way to 

sleep and as anticipated, the nightmare again! Why did I 

ever get the call letter? 

Life had been normal till about a week ago until I got the 

call informing me that I had qualified for the research 

fellowship in biotechnology. This was what I had been 

dreaming about since I was thirteen. My dream had finally 

come true at the age of twenty. Alas! How happy I was that 

day, unaware of what fate had in store for me. 

I glanced at the clock, 4.00 am. The first day I had this 

dream, I told my parents about it. They cajoled me and 

convinced me that it was just a nightmare. I also believed 

that the apprehension of being away from home for the 

first time probably instigated my subconscious to play 

cruel tricks with me. After all, I had to be practical. But 

something happening every night can't be dismissed as a 

coincidence. Even now I was skeptical of going abroad. 

The most important thing was that my flight was scheduled 

for today. I got out of my bed, decided to go to the kitchen 

to have a glass of water to cool my nerves. 

Despite the air being quite cool, I felt very hot. I looked out 

of my kitchen window. The dawn was just breaking. 

Watching the first rays of the sun penetrate the dark street 

of the night sky was one scene I was always going to 

remember. 

On the brink of leaving home, everything seemed so 

beautiful. For that moment, I could myself connect to that 

precious soul within me that gave me life. For at that 

moment I was submerged in the ocean of internal beauty. 

This was the moment when yesterday was becoming 

today. I was leaving home today. This thought transported 

me back to reality. 

I decided to take a round of my house recollecting all the 

beautiful memories of my childhood. Five minutes later, I 

was standing in front of my parents’ bedroom door, 

smiling, the smile of a grown up child, remembering how I 

used to wake up parents in the middle of the night when I 

was unable to sleep. The harsh reality that I was going to 

leave home today brought tears to my eyes. 

How could I ever say anything? How could I tell them that 

I was cancelling my plans of going abroad? I remembered 

the smiles on their faces and the happy tears in their eyes 

when I had broken the news to them. They had believed in 

me when all of my cousins and friends were becoming 

doctors and engineers, I had told them that my heart lay in 

research work. I had told them that I wanted to become a 

scientist. 

They never forced me to abandon my dreams. They never 

doubted me and now that I had finally qualified for 

fellowship and in such a reputed university too, how could 

I tell them that all those years had been a waste? That I was 

going to leave the opportunity because of nightmares that 

followed me every night. I just couldn't rely on my 

hunches. After all, one decision on my part, could wipe off 

the smiles on my parents’ faces. 

I would definitely go and carve a niche for myself in the 

great world out there. With this thought I went upstairs to 

my room and hopped on my bed. I was already beginning 

to feel better. I don't know when or how sleep came over 

me, but I woke up at 9.00 am. I went downstairs. Mamma 

was already preparing breakfast in the kitchen. “So you are 

up scrambled eggs for you – your favourite dish!” With 

this she gave me a peck on my cheek. Daddy was reading 

the morning paper at the dining table. He gave me a big hug 

and said, “My bird is leaving our nest today. We have only 

six hours to be together.” My flight was scheduled for 3.00 

pm. My bags were all packed. 

Suddenly, I noticed my pet terrier Dan was missing. He 

was very attached to me. He was usually very playful. But 

since the past week, I had noticed that he had been sulking 

a lot “Mamma, where's Dan?” I asked “Probably in the 

garden” – She replied “Yeah, maybe.” 

However, since we didn't want to get late, we got ready by 

1.00 pm and apprehensive of the infamous traffic jams of 

Mumbai, were getting into the car when we heard the 

screeching of tyres outside our gate and there a dog's 

whimpering, “Dan!” I rushed outside and what I saw 

scared the wits out of me. I saw Dan lying in a pool of blood 

evidently run over by a car. For a second, I forgot 

everything – my nightmares, the incomprehensible grief 

of leaving home, leaving behind my family, hopes of a new 

future, everything, only one thing remained, Dan. I 

regained my wits and rushed to Dan. My father followed 

me. I gathered Dan in my arms and sat in the car asking my 

father to drive to the nearest vet. “Your flight?” “We'll see 

about it. I can't leave Dan alone like this.” 

We were soon in the vet's clinic. Dan had a couple of 

stitches and his paw was fractured. But he was alright. My 

T-shirt was soaked in blood so I had already changed into a 

new dress. It was already 2.30 pm and we had to rush to the 

airport. 

Unfortunately, we were caught in a traffic jam. There had 

been an accident and one of the drivers had lost his life. My 

heart was already pounding “What if I miss the plane?” 

This definitely was a lifetime opportunity. I was already in 

tears when we reached the airport at 3.15 pm. I felt awful. 

Although I was scheduled to leave today, but I was 

supposed to join two days later. So may be if I was lucky 

enough to get an emergency ticket for the next day's flight, 

I could still manage to join. 

We reached the information desk, and as expected, were 

informed that my plane had already taken off, and yes, one 

passenger had backed out so I was lucky enough to book a 

ticket for the next day. This thought consoled me. 

However, I felt bad. Resignation is no sudden thing. Part of 

myself was still happy that I would be leaving tomorrow. 

We returned back home. I went to my room. As I was 

changing my clothes, I heard my mother call my name. I 

rushed to my parents’ room. I saw my parents sitting in 

front of the T.V and what I saw made me feel as if my eyes 

we going to pop out of their sockets. What I heard sent 

shivers down my spine. Boeing 707, the plane I was 

scheduled to board on, had crashed ten minutes after take 

off. Investigations were being carried on. There was 

probably some problem in the engine. Nobody survived. 

The very thought that I could have been sitting on that 

plane scared me. I noticed Dan licking my feet – so happy 

after seven days. 

Was his accident just a coincidence? Was the accident on 

the road that day just a coincidence? Was I destined to die 

or to live? My nightmares? Were they subconscious 

warnings? 

I joined Michigan University a week later. Today the world 

recognizes me as a scientist who has contributed a lot to the 

field of biotechnology by discovering a cure for 

hemophilia and thus giving a second life to 1.5 lakh people 

around the world. But to this day, I have never forgotten 

that I have got a second life by escaping death by a 

hairline. 

Was I the chosen one? Did God take somebody else's life to 

save mine? Sometimes fate has a totally different thing in 

store for us than we can ever imagine. Maybe I was 

destined to die that day but coincidences made me survive. 

Maybe I was destined to live, but my actions and decisions 

could have taken my life so God had to take somebody 

else's life to save mine. Did I defy destiny or did destiny 

favour me? All that I can say is that God has strange ways 

of signaling us his presence.

SECOND PRIZE 

No, I did not cry. It was a special day. I knew it. I just turned to ice. But, 

but the fire of emotions raged within me. The image of a bride leaving 

her parents' home flashed before my eyes, We just see a traditional 

crying but it is definitely much deeper. Overnight she becomes a guest 

in her own house but it was never going to be that way for me. 

No, it was never going to be the same for me. My cradle of love was 

going to be left behind. I had to move on in life. But today was my 

farewell day. I was numb, my tears seemed to have dried out. I felt 

speechless and frozen. 

For days I had been crying on my grandmother's shoulder at home and 

sometimes alone in school. I had been dreading this moment, the 

farewell day of our Class VIII. 

“Damini, fetch me the books from the cupboard!” “Damini, will you 

carry my purse to the staff room? “Come and help me with the posters 

for Innovation Day!” These and so many other instructions by my 

teachers kept ringing in my ears as I stared blankly at the school black 

board. 

The classes galloped faster than I had imagined. Suddenly I was in class 

VIII, “And Miss Industrious is, Damini Rani Shankar!” Kahkashan 

Ma'am made the announcement giving us the titles on the Farewell Day. 

“Why did I have to be Miss Industrious? Why didn't I stay in the same 

class and get more love and affection of my teachers? How can I leave 

so soon?” 

Life's harshness suddenly gripped me on the last day- the point of no 

return, it seemed. I looked longingly at my teachers and my Principal, 

Perhaps somewhere, someone would have a heart and ask me to stay. 

But they all smiled and wished me luck. It seemed ominous! I must 

obey as always. 

Jopling Road Campus was for me, a home away from home. The 

Ashoka trees, the shed, the classrooms brimming with life and activity, 

the library where we chose our favourite books and were under the 

watchful eyes of my teachers, the Principal, Mrs. Manju Nautiyal's 

office where we were taken for reward and naughty students for 

punishment and where I first sat as a two and a half years old when 

Mrs Usha Francis was Principal and created tantrums. Also, the water 

cooler where we filled our bottles and also chatted in between classes. 

All this was a part of our daily lives and we were so used to it. And now, 

all would vanish after today… 

I can still recall the Nursery Rhymes “Be careful little eyes and the 

beautiful song “A hundred miles”. That day I crossed an ocean of 

childhood experiences and felt as I never felt before. I left behind a 

childhood. A tsunami of emotions surged inside me, I wanted to burst 

into tears but felt a sharp pain inside. My feelings were too deep. I did 

not cry on the last day and the pain remained. I still carry the pain inside 

me. I feel sad, I want to return, I want to do something for my school, I 

want to repay my Principal and teachers for all the love and affection 

they showered upon me and I miss my friends. 

“We look before and after and pine for what is naught. 

Our sincerest laughter with some pain is fraught 

Our sweetest songs are those that tell of saddest thought” - Shelley 

Perhaps, if I can live up to the ideals of my school and promote love, 

peace and unity in the world, I will find true happiness. 

The first experience of bidding farewell to my school has also given me 

a kind of hidden strength. I am empowered with the love of my teachers 

and I know I have to make my life worthwhile so that I can make my 

institution proud of me. I will make the tears welling up inside me now 

turn to gems of wisdom and dew drops of knowledge. It was no ordinary 

day, after all!”

Power of Pen 2010 (continued from page 6) 

Someday when I am older 

Prologue: I am seven. Lot of things are confusing to me. Grown-ups tell me that 

someday I'll understand, but I wish that "Someday" were now. There is something 

grownups call death. I know it's not a good thing, but don't know quite what it is. 

Maybe I'll know someday when I'm older. 

It was never going to be an ordinary day. I don't usually wait with Sania for her bus 

before school in the morning, but today, we are sitting on the steps together. The 

bus has just stopped outside our home. Sania is eleven and she doesn't like to hug 

me too often, but this morning, she hugs me good bye. I don't know why? 

In art class today, I drew a picture of Baby Jesus in the manger with an angel above 

him. Now school is over, and one of the teachers drives me home. She says that 

Sania met with an accident. 

Now I'm walking into my house. Mummy's crying, She never cries, even when I'm 

really, really bad. All the grown-ups are talking, but I can't understand what they 

are saying; maybe someday I will. Daddy is the only one who speaks to me. 

He says, “Sania has gone up to heaven.” I'm crying now. I don't really want to, but 

Mummy is, and I think it's the right thing to do. I am so confused. Mummy and 

Daddy told me that heaven is where we go when we die, but Sania can't be dead. I 

want to ask questions, but I know I'm supposed to be just sad now. This is really 

complicated. I want someone to explain, but as usual, I'm too young to understand 

anyway. 

It is over a year now. Sometimes they tell me more about 'the accident'. Sania was 

waiting for the bus after school. A car was driving too fast and went out of control 

and hit her. They tell me she didn't feel any pain. That's good, because I don't want 

Sania to be hurt. I am trying very hard to understand death. 

Sometimes, I ask Mummy questions like, “Mummy, why did it happen to Sania 

that she was hit. Why couldn't it have been someone else who was standing there?” 

Mummy starts crying again and says, “Because then another family would have to 

go through all the pain and sadness that we feel.” 

Now it is a few weeks later. Mummy and Daddy tell me that the man who hit Sania 

found out that he had killed her, so he killed himself. I think I am old enough to 

understand what this means. “That's quite right Mom? Now he has paid for what 

he did, “I say. Mummy speaks very quietly when she answers. She tells me, “No, 

it's not good. Now his family has to go through everything that we felt. He 

shouldn't have done that.” 

Epilogue: I am sixteen now and I know a lot more than I did then. Back then, I 

didn't quite understand why Mom didn't want the man to be punished, but I trusted 

that she was right. Now mom's words echo in my heart as clear as they did when I 

first heard them nine years ago. Since that time, there have been so many instances 

when I have found it difficult, almost impossible to forgive someone. then I hear 

Mom again. I realize that if Mom could forgive the man who killed her daughter, 

surely I can forgive my best friend for forgetting to call me one evening. 

It took me a long time to understand exactly what that horrific day and my sister's 

death meant. I told you it was never going to be an ordinary day. That day changed 

our lives forever. I had to grow up without a sibling. I have gradually accepted that 

I will not see her again in heaven and I know that. I also know that Sania is happy 

and that she is still with me. With time, my wounds have healed. As I have learned 

more about life, I have also come to understand death better. More important than 

all this, I have learned Mom's unforgettable lesson of the ULTIMATE 

FORGIVENESS. 

As rightly said by Alexander Pope “ To err is human to forgive, divine” 

FRUIT FOR LIFE 

When it comes to choosing fruits and vegetables, follow this 

general rule: the darker the color, the better. For a quick way 

to ensure you are getting the nutrients you need, consume 

these nutrition powerhouses. 

Popeye had the right idea – spinach (as well as other dark green leafy 

vegetables) is a super food – loaded with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. 

Sweet potatoes are also a stellar choice, providing a number of healthful benefits 

including being a good source of fiber, vitamin A, vitamin C and potassium for kids 

and adults alike. Broccoli is another winner. These "tiny trees" as children often call them provide 

fiber, vitamin C, potassium, calcium and more. 

To help boost your nutrient intake of a 

specific vitamin or mineral, try these fruits and veggies: 

For calcium: Broccoli, Cherries, Figs, Kiwifruit, Oranges, Plums, Spinach 

For vitamin B2: Beet greens, Broccoli, Mushrooms, Peas, Spinach 

For iron: Spinach, Dried apricots, Dried beans (cooked), Lima beans, Nuts 

For vitamin B3: Dates, Mushrooms, Potatoes, Nuts 

For fiber: Apples, Artichokes, Asian Pears, Bananas, Blackberries, Blueberries, Boysenberries, 

Brussels sprouts, Green beans, Green cabbage, Dates, Figs, Kiwifruit, Lima Beans, Onions, 

Oranges, Pears, Peas, Persimmons, Pumpkin, Raspberries, Spinach, Sweet potatoes 

For folic acid/vitamin B9: Asparagus, Avocados, Bananas, Beets, Bell peppers, Blackberries, 

Broccoli, Brussels sprouts, Cabbage, Cantaloupe, Cauliflower, Corn, Grapefruit juice, Green beans, 

Lettuce (red leaf, green leaf, romaine), Oranges, Orange juice, Papayas, Raspberries, Spinach, 

Strawberries, Sweet potatoes, Watermelon 

For potassium: Dried apricots, Artichokes, Bananas, Beet greens, Bok choy, Broccoli, Cherries, 

Kiwifruit, Pomegranates, Prune juice, Baked potatoes (with skins), spinach, Sun-dried tomatoes, 

Yellow tomatoes, yams 

For vitamin C: Red and yellow bell peppers, Broccoli, Brussels sprouts, Cabbage, Cauliflower, 

Chile peppers, Grapefruit, Grapefruit juice, Guava, Honeydew, Kiwifruit, 

Lemons, Limes, Oranges, Orange juice, Papayas, Pineapple, Raspberries, 

Spinach, Strawberries, Sweet potatoes, Tomatoes, Watermelon
