Testimony On Silver Jubilee<br />

"Hey, beautiful people! I hope whoever reading<br />

this right now is having an amazing day!<br />

I would like to share a few thoughts on what<br />

Anweshana Montessori House of Children<br />

means to me.<br />

As people would say, home is where is the<br />

heart is. That's what I would consider<br />

Anweshana to me as it has made me what I<br />

am, as a person, given me a basic foundation<br />

to live life the right way and to treat all people<br />

with utmost respect. I joined Anweshana in the<br />

year, 2000. I was a pretty tiny tot back then.<br />

Well, I could say that my parents made the<br />

best decision of their lives to make me be a<br />

part of such a wonderful school. I am<br />

absolutely blessed to have received my<br />

education from Anweshana as it was no<br />

ordinary school. I had the privilege to learn<br />

everything, the way I wanted. The first word<br />

that we all learnt in the school was Namaste,<br />

which means greetings in the utmost respect.<br />

Well, isn't that enough for you to know how<br />

awesome my school is?<br />

Anweshana is what has moulded me into an<br />

independent, responsible, and a happy go<br />

lucky person after being able to go through the<br />

whole Montessori Method of learning. The<br />

multiple excursions, the early morning yoga<br />

sessions, the mid - day singing classes, the<br />

rolling of the mats, the world books, the Melas<br />

we had every year, the eco-friendly way of<br />

living and everything that happened in<br />

Anweshana are what I'm nostalgic about every<br />

day and I can't imagine experiencing all of this<br />

in any other school. Hence, I am forever<br />

grateful to all my teachers, friends, Akkas,<br />

Shakti uncle and Mariappa Uncle for learning a<br />

new lesson of life every day.<br />

I was pretty devastated to leave Anweshana and join a<br />

public school in my later years as it was a completely<br />

different environment compared to that of Anweshana.<br />

That claustrophobic feeling of having being restricted<br />

to learn what I want came into existence and the<br />

whole idea of school changed for me.<br />

Well, in short, I believe, once a student of Anweshana,<br />

always a student of Anweshana!<br />

Thank you!"<br />

There is a school that we can’t imagine.<br />

It is like the place we are meant to be.<br />

It is the place where we learn happily.<br />

It is the place where we have a lot of fun.<br />

It is my school it is my school it is my school<br />

Anweshana.<br />

It is the place where we have so much to do.<br />

It is the place where children wear colourful clothes.<br />

It is the place where we learn to save our planet.<br />

It is my school it is my school it is my school<br />

Anweshana.<br />
