It was amazing how with almostnegligible use of props and very few costumechanges they managed to hold audienceattention. <strong>The</strong> plays had been abridged andsomewhat simplified, without interfering withthe storyline. <strong>The</strong> performance of all theactors was commendable.Results of the SSNI Corridor Quiz :Class VI :I Shishir Garg and Sansrisht BhatiaClass VII :I Umang JainII Mohan P.L.

Maharaja Madhavrao Memorial CricketTournament with excitement. Six teams, whichincluded us, were to contest for the trophy. Allof us were keen to know which pool we’d fallinto and in the heart of hearts we wanted toavoid an encounter with the Modern <strong>School</strong>.Having won the trophy for the past five years insuccession they were undoubtedly aformidable team. But much against our wishes<strong>The</strong> <strong>Scindia</strong> <strong>School</strong> team was pitted againstthem in the first match itself.Just before the match was to begin all of us, themembers of <strong>Scindia</strong> Cricket team, huddledtogether to discuss our strategy. <strong>The</strong> toss waswon by Modern <strong>School</strong> and they chose to batfirst. This was a great disappointment as wetoo had wanted to do the same. It was veryencouraging to see the other fellow <strong>Scindia</strong>nsand the staff members out in sun, braving theheat just so that they could encourage us. <strong>The</strong>Modern <strong>School</strong> scored 170 runs and thoughwe tried our best we could score just 145 runsand lost the match. After this initial loss beganour winning streak and we won all the othermatches and reached the finals. Our coach MrVijay Prakash Sharma told us that this was agolden opportunity and that we could createhistory by winning the final match.<strong>The</strong> tension, we experienced before the finalmatch with Modern <strong>School</strong>, is indescribable.As we sat together at the Madhav Pavalion wewere sweating at the thought of the clash withthe titans. Our hearts were thumping withnervousness but soon we held each othershand and marched towards the field like lionsdeterminedto give our very best to the game.Unfortunately we lost the match and our hopesof winning the tournament were dashed.However we felt very proud as SahnawazHussain of the <strong>Scindia</strong> <strong>School</strong> was declaredthe best bowler of the tournament.After the prize distribution ceremony was theperformance by the <strong>School</strong> Brass Band. Thiswas the perfect grand end to the spectaculartournament. I consider myself fortunate to havebeen part of the tournament as not only did Iget an opportunity to hone my cricketing skillsbut also made some good friends from themembers of the visiting teams. My heartfeltthanks to all those people who made it possible.Piyush Mittal, X D

It was late night and likeeveryone else, I was on my bed. At midnightwhen I looked at my watch I got into deepmeditation. In a few minutes the dormantfeeling of being a <strong>Scindia</strong>n started surging inme. It was then that I decided to pen down myfeelings to make all <strong>Scindia</strong>ns feel all that I hadfelt a minute ago.It has been more than three years since I leftschool. But the feeling of being a <strong>Scindia</strong>n isvery much alive even now. Suddenly I couldfeel the stirrings of a writer within me. We knowof a lot of success stories from the businessand the glamour world. All these people, be itTata, Salman Khan, Danny Boyle, MukeshAmbani or anyone else, had been raw andinexperienced at some time. <strong>The</strong>n what was itthat made them different and successful. Toachieve success a person must have heightenedsensitivity and clear thinking. <strong>The</strong> greatest ofsuccess stories have been scripted by peoplewho could think and plan ahead with greatprecision.As children, all of us have sundry limitations.To ensure a bright and promising future forthe child each parent tries to do the best forhis ward. <strong>The</strong> choice of a school is also ofimmense import. Some children stay at homeand some like me leave the comfort of theirhomes to join <strong>Scindia</strong>. It is this momentousdecision of our parents which adds the lettersSC to our Indian identity and we becomeproud <strong>Scindia</strong>ns – here I would like to addthat the two are not mutually exclusive but a<strong>Scindia</strong>n definitely has an edge over others.It’s been a few years since I passed out but theimportance and significance of being a<strong>Scindia</strong>n dawned on me only at the dawn ofthis new year. What a beautiful co-incidencethat along with this I discovered yet anotherwonderful quality in me, that I too can write.Bharat Agarwal(Ex Jp, batch of 2005)Contact :Tel.: 0135 - 3246450/51thebharatworld@yahoo.inwebsite(bharatagarwal.com)<strong>The</strong> <strong>School</strong> is closing on Friday,24th <strong>April</strong>. <strong>The</strong> next issue ofReview will come out on Saturday,1st August.
