Happy New Year 2018

“What can be said in New Year rhymes, That’s not been said a thousand times?

The new years come, the old years go,

We know we dream, we dream we know.

We rise up laughing with the light,

We lie down weeping with the night.

We hug the world until it stings,

We curse it then and sigh for wings.

We live, we love, we woo, we wed,

We wreathe our prides, we sheet our dead.

We laugh, we weep, we hope, we fear,

And that’s the burden of a year.”

– Ella Wheeler Wilcox

My New Year Solutions, Not Resolutions

This year I want to be a monkey

Jumping from tree to tree

Next year I can be a donkey

Braying from sky to sea.

Every year I want to change

And experience something new

I wish I am something strange

Like the disappearing dew.

I want to feel the life of a lion king

Sitting inside its majestic skin

Turning into a peacock I will sing

And be a cuckoopea Siamese twin

Why can’t I be a bubble?

Blow away and disappear

Instead of getting into trouble

Making resolutions every year.

Visit to National Philatelic Museum

Students of class 3, 4 and 5 (PRIMUS) visited National Philatelic Museum on 27.12.17, Wednesday. 
The National Philatelic Museum at Dak Bhawan, New Delhi, India, is operated by the Department of Post.  
The Museum had number of frames in which exhibits of Post Independence era stamps were displayed. The frames were arranged beautifully in different sections like section for Sheetlets, section for different themes, Section for Stamps from different countries. 

The visit started with an interesting and informative Audio Visual show showcasing the many different stamps which had been issued in India by the Post and Telegraph Department. These stamps could be classified under various categories such as famous events in history, famous people from India and the world, sports, art and nature.The show was followed by a walking tour around the museum where the students were introduced to different series of stamps issued every five years, since 1947.Students saw rarest of rare first stamp issued by Sindh Dak in 1854 & from the old princely world! 
Children had fun in participating in two activities organised by the museum, namely, Drawing Competition-My Stamp on the theme winter and writing New Year wishes on a post card. They were excited to actually post their cards in a letter box.

Many students had started the day thinking that the trip to a museum of philately would hold no interest for them; they came back buzzing with excitement after a trip that turned out to be a fun trip with a great deal of learning! In this age of emails where posted letters are fast becoming out dated they learnt the beauty of Philately and its significance !

The winners of the drawing competition are- 
Gauri Jain- 1st prize
Sana Rikhi- 3rd prize.
