CONGRATULATIONS TOPPERS!

Yoga is a group of physical, mental, and spiritual prac�ces or

disciplines which originated in ancient India. Interna�onal Yoga Day

has been celebrated at Anubhu� since 2015. This year too it was st

celebrated on the 21 of June. Even though yoga exercises are part of

our regular morning ac�vi�es at school, this special day fills us with

lots of enthusiasm. We turned out in white kurtas and paijamas and

whole heartedly prac�ced various yoga techniques as guided by Dr.

Tiwadi Sir. Our prac�ce included Bhramari, Anulom-Vilom, Ardha-chakrasan, to name but a few. A�er breakfast, the second session was conducted by our Yoga teachers Mr and Mrs. Tiwadi. The presenta�ons focused on the importance of yoga.

Yoga must be prac�sed by all regardless of their cultural and religious

backgrounds.

Hi Freshers!

We were more than excited when we got to know that we were going on an excursion to Dharamshala, Dalhousie and Amritsar. Our first stop was Pathankot from where we went to Dharamshala. We got into our allo�ed rooms and then got ready for our first sightseeing spot that was St. John's Church. The church lies in a dense jungle between Mcleodganj and Forsythganj and is a monument dedicated to Lord Elgin, one of the viceroys of India, who died at Chauntra (Mandi district) and was buried here in 1863 A.D. This classic church, which has a Chris�an cemetery surrounding it, has lovely glass windows and boost amazing architectural design. From there we visited the Namgyal monastery which is also the resident of Dalai Lama. The monks living here perform rituals for the welfare of Tibet and work as a center of learning and medita�on on the profound Buddhist trea�ses. We were given �me to shop. Next morning we visited a couple of temples. First we visited the Jain Mandir and then the Chamunda Devi's Mandir. It felt as if God was showering his blessings over us. We again came back to our hotel for lunch and le� for the favourite spot of all cricket lovers The Dharamshala Cricket Stadium. It was a wonderful experience. And then we enjoyed ea�ng at the khau-gali outside the stadium. We ate pani puri, corn bhel, cucumber, co�on candy, nimbu shikanji and not to forget maggi. Next we visited The War Memorial. It was built to commemorate the memory of those who fought valiantly for the honour of their motherland. A�er spending some �me over there, we went to Chinmaya Tapovan. It was a beau�ful ashram. In 1977, Swami Chinmayananda came across the barren, hilly landscape and ins�nc�vely knew that it was hallowed space. There he founded The Chinmaya Tapovan Trust (CTT) and the ashram it now administers.

Next day, we started off early and a�er a journey of about 5 hours, we reached Khajjiar. It is also called 'Mini Switzerland' owing to its picturesque landscape. This lush green plateau

surrounded by huge fir trees was a stunning place. We spent a couple of hours there taking in all the beauty. A�er a fairly long photo session, we departed from there and checked in our hotel. We also had a small campfire set for the night around which we sang songs and had a good �me. It was very chilly and the fire soothed us.

Next morning, we went to Panchkula, where we enjoyed various adventure ac�vi�es. From there, we le� for Amritsar. It was a �ring journey but the DJ night filled us with lots of energy. We danced a lot. Next day, some of us along with Akka got up as early as 5 a.m. to a�end the ardas at the Golden Temple. We all went there at around 9. It was mesmerizing beyond words. An en�re temple made out of gold was a stunning sight. It is a place of great beauty and sublime peacefulness. Just outside the temple was the Jallianwalah Bagh. This memorial park stands as a poignant memorial to the pilgrims and fes�val-goers who lost their lives during a notorious 20��-century massacre. The well-preserved walls with numerous visible bullet marks provide significant reminders of the massacre. A�er lunch, we le� for Wagha Border. On the way, we visited a wool factory. The lowering of the flags ceremony at the Wagah border is a daily military prac�ce that the security forces of India and Pakistan have jointly followed since 1959. The atmosphere there was immensely na�onalis�c and a different kind of patrio�sm was filled in the hearts of all those who saw this ceremony. The ceremony begins with the girls and women folk running with our flag, which is followed by dancing on the patrio�c songs. We felt proud to be a part of this. It was a thrilling experience. This marked the end of the amazing excursion we had.

We would like to thank Neerja Akka, Snehal Akka and Hardik bhaiyaa for this great experience!

An Art of Living Happiness programme based on breathing

exercises and medita�on was conducted for teachers soon

a�er they reported back a�er the summer holidays. Ms. Sujata

Bansal, a senior teacher of Art of Living courses and Ms. Lata

Radhakrishnan, both from Indore, conducted this three-day

programme. They were assisted by the local AOL teachers

from Jalgaon.

The core of the Art of living Happiness course is a set of highly

effec�ve breathing techniques. A prac�cal medita�on tool

known as 'Sudarshan Kriya' restores the body, mind and spirit

to its natural rhythm. Its uniqueness is not only in its

performance, but also in its origin as His Holiness Sri Sri Ravi

Shankar is believed to have invented the Sudarshan Kriya on

emerging from a ten-day silence period.

Along with Sudarshan Kriya, other powerful breathing

techniques, yoga postures and medita�on taught in the

interac�ve sessions of the Happiness Programme help the

prac��oners to be a calm, relaxed, wiser, healthier and

happier person. They get equipped with easy-to-use tools to

maintain the benefits for life. A happy mind lets one stay calm,

make be�er decisions. In fact, Sudarshan Kriya helps improve

the overall quality of one's life.

As the teachers discovered the secrets of breath, they felt

relaxed and energized for the new academic session.

A TRIP TO MALAYSIA

MY FIRST DAY AT ANUBHUTI

I le� my home—bidding farewell to friends and some

rela�ons, and looking forward to a new chapter in my life at

a new place. I held the hands of my younger brother, and

was glad that I was going to travel with my parents. As we

reached the school gate, I started keenly observing

everything. I was intrigued to see how the security staff was

checking everyone's luggage

including mine. Soon our

luggage was loaded on the

school van which brought us

t o o u r n e w h o m e , o u r

dormitory. On our way to the

dorm, my mesmerised eyes

were fixed on the lush green

grounds and the happy faces

around. However, at the

same �me, my introspec�ve

mind was busy analysing my

own emo�ons and feelings.

As I entered my hostel building and was walking up the stairs I saw my new, comfortable home where I would be spending two wonderful years of my life. My mother helped me in arranging and organizing my belongings. I met

my houseparent who was as caring as my mother. She welcomed me with an open heart and an affec�onate smile. I started to go and meet all my other teachers. Interac�ng with them, though for a short while, I started feeling close to them. We then took the path towards the dining hall for our lunch. There I was glad to meet a few more girls who would be my companions during my life at Anubhu�. Then

came the emo�onal moment when my parents had to say goodbye to me. Suddenly my heart started feeling heavy.

I remembered that before coming here I had felt that I would never be able to change my life meaningfully un�l I changed something that I had to do on a daily basis. It is rightly said: 'The secret of your success is found in your daily rou�ne'. I had promised myself not to cry because that would

defeat the purpose of my making Anubhu� my new home.

I along with my family visited Malaysia in the summer holidays. We boarded the flight at Bengaluru Interna�onal Airport on 29 May and reached Kuala Lumpur a�er 4 and a quarter hours. With its es�mated popula�on of 1.73 million, Kuala Lumpur is the largest city and capital of Malaysia.

We checked in at a hotel and had good rest. The next day, we started our sightseeing by first visi�ng the Lord Shiva temple at Batu Caves, half an hour drive from Kuala Lumpur City Centre. The temple is 176 metres high and has 616 steps. Lord Shiva's statue has the height of 40 metres. To my surprise, there were many monkeys who looked absolutely calm.

Our next sightseeing spot was Coka chocolate factory. We found 80 types of chocolates there. I had never imagined that there could be something like chilli chocolate. The next spot was Kuala Lampur tower. It is the tallest tower in the city. Its height is 421 metres above sea level. The last spot of our day 1 was the tween Petronas Towers. According to the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH)'s

official defini�on and ranking, these towers were the tallest buildings in the world from 1998 to 2004 and remain the tallest twin towers in the world. The buildings are a

landmark of Kuala Lumpur, along with nearby Kuala Lumpur Tower.

The following day was really amazing. We bought �ckets for the show of the most famous magician of India Mr. T C the Mentalist. He presented the magic show at an award ceremony.

Day 3 started with shopping at the Berjaya Times Square Mall. From there we went to visit Muzium Diraja (The Royal Museum). It used to be the residence of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong (Supreme King) of Malaysia. It stands on a 13-acre (50,000 m²) site, located on a

commanding posi�on on the slope of a hill.

Though we spent only a few days in Kuala Lumpur, it was a truly mesmerizing and deligh�ul trip that would always be etched on my memory.

-Janak Tanna, Class 9

The Na�onal Doctors' Day is celebrated on the 1�� of July across

India to honour the legendary physician and the second Chief

Minister of West Bengal, Dr Bidhan Chandra Roy. To celebrate

this important day at Anubhu�, we invited Dr. Sameer Pawar,

Dr. Snehal Pawar, and Dr. Sandeep Pa�l to make interac�ve

presenta�ons on general health and hygiene. They all spoke

about their thrilling journey of life, especially their experience

of working in rural areas where good health care infrastructure

is s�ll missing. Dr. Sameer highlighted general health and

fitness offering valuable �ps while Dr. Pa�l focused on the

healthcare of our eyes. In a humorous way, they talked about

the life of a doctor, the challenges faced by them, and their

commitment to go anywhere at any �me to help the people in

need of medical care.

I think we are lucky to have them as our school doctors. Imagine

what a day without doctors would be like. Hats off to our school

doctors as well as all the doctors of the world!

Summer is indeed a special �me for everyone and so was it for

me. This summer I a�ended an IIMUN (Indian Interna�onal

Model United Na�ons) conference which really made a part of

my vaca�on very frui�ul. The conference was held in Nashik from 27April to 29 April and was organized by

the D.P.S Nashik. In all, there were six

commi�ees including the one I was part of:

ECOSOC (The United Na�ons Economic and

Social Council). The agenda for our commi�ee

was Achieving gender equality and laying

d o w n t h e r o a d m a p f o r s u s t a i n a b l e

development, Goal 5: Achieve gender equality

and empower all women and girls. I was

represen�ng the Russian Federa�on.

On the first day, the conference was inaugurated by the dignitaries from various parts of Maharashtra. By the second day, the commi�ee sessions were in full swing. The sessions were full of debates, arguments, statements, asser�ons with a taste of diplomacy whose legacy we carried on �ll the last day.

On the concluding day, we had the prize distribu�on. A strong feeling of ecstasy ran up my spine when I got to know that my hard work had made me the best delegate of my commi�ee.

Overall, it was a great experience which helped me learn lots of new things and gave me an opportunity to make lots many new friends.

DOCTORS’ DAY

A GALVANIZING MUN

stOn the 1 of June 2018, we were taken on a visit to the Jain Spice Factory. We were accompanied by Raghavan sir, our chemistry teacher. On the bus, Pande sir told us all the rules and regula�ons. He also gave us the detailed safety instruc�ons such as not to touch any part of the machinery without the permission of the department supervisor. The workers provided us with masks to cover our nose so that it would prevent us from coughing.

On entering the factory we were divided into groups. Each group consisted of 10 students and there was a guide for every group. He explained to us each and every process as well as showed us all the equipment and machinery used in the spice making process. Everybody was keenly listening to him with rapt a�en�on. He also told us that 1 lakh litres of water was used on a daily basis for all the processes and for the smooth func�oning of the machinery. The factory works on both solar and hydroelectricity.

The procedures were too long, especially the prepara�on process for chili powder and turmeric powder.

We were flooded with more informa�on about the factory and its incep�on. The plant produces 25 metric tons of spices every day. Most of the machines used in the processes were made in India while some of them were imported from China and the

stUK. This factory was inaugurated on the 1 of December, 2017. The visit was highly informa�ve.

Towards the end of the visit, the whole team answered our never-ending ques�ons. We thanked them for coming to the plant even on a Sunday and providing us with so much knowledge. We bade them farewell and trooped into the bus to return to school.

A TRIP TO UTTARAKHAND

The much awaited day came at last: 5 April, 2018. We all class 9 students had been eagerly wai�ng for this day. This trip was a special one as we had to stay behind another few days even a�er the commencement of the summer vaca�on—without having a clue where we were going.

Our group included Vishal sir (the tour guide), Mani sir, Gangadhar sir and Mr. P.R. Bani. We boarded the train on the 5th of April at Bhusawal junc�on. It was a pre�y long journey as we spent one whole day and night on the train. During our long journey we ate lots of mouthwatering food, listened to enchan�ng music and thoroughly enjoyed the train journey.

We reached Haridwar on 6 April around lunch �me. A�er checking in at the hotel we freshened up and headed for lunch. The lunch was delicious and filled us with enough energy to go sightseeing. Temples do�ng the city of Haridwar are its main a�rac�on. We went to a couple of famous temples. Before leaving we collected a few items hoping that the souvenir would remind us of this holy place.

We also a�ended the famous evening Aar� of the Ganga, which a�racts large crowds of devotees from across India. This was the best part of the day. Decora�ve lights could be seen everywhere while people were praying and enjoying the Aar� with their families.

The final thing that was le� now was the shopping part, so we went shoping in the city market, which was followed by a sumptuous dinner. As the day came to an end, we went to bed with much curiosity about our next des�na�on: Mussoorie, the queen of hills.

Mussoorie turned out to be an unforge�able place. The road to Mussoorie was itself so thrilling with hills on both sides, steep slopes and hairpin bends. We reached Mussoorie in the a�ernoon and took some rest in the hotel as the journey was �resome. The following day we went to the second highest peak in Mussoorie which had the surprising temperature of 2 Cͦ. The view from the peak was amazing and to add to our excitement, we also had a glimpse of the house bought by Sachin Tendulkar where he spends his summer months. From there we went to the famous Mall Road which is famous as a shopping des�na�on. We came across exquisite things made by the locals.

We were totally exhausted when we returned to our hotel. We sat down, switched on TV and watched the match between CSK Vs MI. The following day we went to a waterfall where we did quite a bit of swimming and had lots of fun.

The next place on our i�nerary was Dehradun but due to �me constraints we could only visit a mall named 'Pacific Mall' where we shopped for almost three hours. A�er this, we went to the sta�on to catch a train to Nainital. The train was late which

bored us a lot.

We reached Nainital on the 9�� April morning. We stayed in a hotel named Dynasty Resort. We visited several places there including the Cave Garden and Nainital Lake. Soon we found ourselves on a shopping spree for a whopping two and a half hours.

On the 10�� April morning we had to leave for a place named Ramnagar. We got some free �me in which we played a ten-over cricket match. Though it was exhaus�ng, we were s�ll brimming with enthusiasm and liveliness to see more places.

This was the last des�na�on we were visi�ng. We felt sad that our enchan�ng trip was coming to an end. We succeeded in hiding this feeling and started enjoying the rest of the final moments in U�arakhand. On the way back, we stayed in a resort called Corbe� Adventure Resort. This was a real fun place because there was a swimming pool where we swam for almost four hours. They had many games and thrilling adventure ac�vi�es like Rock Climbing, Ropeway and Military Circuit Training. The visit to Jim Corbe� Museum added tremendously to our knowledge.

Next day we went to Jim Corbe� Na�onal Park. The safari vehicle drivers happened to be on a strike that day. We waited there for a long �me hoping for the strike to end, but we were not so lucky.

That day we had a huge lavish dinner that compensated well for whatever we had missed out.

With a heavy heart we boarded our train to Delhi and from there to Bhusawal, where our trip ended.

Excursions are an integral part of holis�c learning for

students. They have a great deal of educa�onal value. That

is why schools o�en organize excursions for their students.

Apart from educa�ng students and exposing them to

various experiences, it is a profound means of recrea�on.

The annual excursion is the most awaited event that no

students want to miss at school.

thTowards the end of the academic year 2017-2018, the 11

class students of our school went on an excursion to

Nainital, Mukteshwar, Ranikhet and Jim Corbe� Na�onal ndPark. We le� the campus in the early hours of April 2 . We

were accompanied by our teacher, Mr. Deepak Ahuja, Dr.

Sameer Pawar and a member of the school security staff.

A�er wai�ng for an hour the train arrived and we all

boarded the train with lots of excitement.

We had our breakfast and cha�ed for hours, since it was a

very long journey. There were some policemen in our bogey

who were on the way to their duty in a nearby place. We

happily shared our seats with them. As they sat with us, we

got an opportunity to talk to them. We discussed some

general and poli�cal issues with them. The next day, our

train was nearly 2-3 hours late, hence we had late breakfast.

It was truly delicious. We reached our first des�na�on:

Nainital. A�er some rest we went sightseeing, which was

followed by lavish lunch. Later in the evening, we watched

the IPL match between Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai

Indians team on TV. The CSK won the match. The next day

we started our journey towards Jim Corbe� Na�onal Park.

The route was difficult and the drive made some of my

friends sick. On the way to Jim Corbe� Na�onal Park, we

saw the Animal Museum as well as a waterfall. Early evening

we reached the hotel in Jim Corbe� Na�onal Park. The

evening was spent larking and frisking about in a swimming

pool, playing cricket, table tennis and basketball. The next

day we woke up early and went towards the forest to enjoy

the safari. Immediately a�er the safari, we le� for Ranikhet,

where we visited the Army Museum and a beau�ful garden.

We liked the place so much that we kept walking around in

the garden �ll 7.00 pm. To learn more about the garden and

its vegeta�on we hired a special guide. The day ended with

lots of joy. We also saw different types of wood and

equipment that were used by early man to make fire. The

next day we visited Mukteshwar. It was raining there.

Nonetheless, we managed to visit some temples. It was too

cold and the chilly wind made us all shiver. From the temple

we went to a restaurant where, a�er a long wait, we got to

eat our food.

We also went to visit Nainital. We spent nearly the whole

night there enjoying the beau�ful view outside our hotel.

We had reached the fag end of our excursion. Early next

morning we managed to reach the railway sta�on in �me. It

was with scores of snaps and indelible memories of

countless joys that we were returning to our school. There

was a sudden �nge of sadness in our hearts, but within a

frac�on of second we replaced the heavy feeling with the

joyful thought of mee�ng our family members and sharing

our experiences with them.

INTO THE WORLD OF MOUNTAINS

Some things are not meant to be captured, they need to be experienced. This summer holidays, I along with my family went to an exo�c

place: Europe. It was a memorable trip on which I visited several countries including Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland,

Italy and France. We boarded our flight from Pune on 18 May, 2018 and were at Dusseldorf airport the same day. We went to

Oberhausen and had a good rest before making the next part of the journey. The

next day we visited Amsterdam in the Netherlands. Amsterdam has 165 canals

with 1281 bridges over them. We captured some glimpse of Amsterdam on

our camera and then went to Dusseldorf where we visited the famous Rhine River.

We also travelled to Koblenz, which is the confluence of the Rhine and the

Mosel. We also passed through Zurich in Switzerland. Travelling through the high

mountains and peaks with many spectacular views completely thrilled us.

We enjoyed watching clean and beau�ful rivers emerging from the

mountains. We travelled through long canals and roads witnessing waterfalls,

lakes and snow-capped mountains. We reached Italy where we visited Milan,

Rome and the city of Water and bridges i.e. Venice. The next phase of our journey

took us to Brussels, the capital of Belgium. We bought and savoured some

of the world's most delicious chocolates there. We also tasted stracciatella, a type

of chocolate bread. We did not have enough �me to spend in Brussels, so we

proceeded to Paris in France where we took a glimpse of one of the tallest

structures of the world, the iconic Eiffel Tower. We also went to Cologne where we

saw one of the oldest cathedrals of Europe; it is made of marble. We covered

our whole journey in a luxurious vanity van and got the opportunity to camp on

some of the most beau�ful camping grounds in Europe.

This European bonanza was one of the most memorable experiences of my life.

Europe is a beau�ful place; one must visit at least once in one's life�me.

Studying in a residential school is great fun. It is also a

challenge but only till one gets used to this new rhythm of

life. After one has fully settled down emotionally, it is a

wonderful experience. Living away from our parents is

initially hard, but our new classmates and friends make it

easier for us. The residential school experience makes us

independent and enterprising. In spite of all the teething

troubles, we learn to appreciate the countless opportunities

and benefits Anubhuti offers.

Over the years, Anubhuti has been an inspiring success story.

Guided by its Statement of Purpose crafted by Pujya Dadaji,

Anubhuti has produced exceptional entrepreneurs, great

artists, hardworking people and above all, great human

beings. One such student who has done Anubhuti proud is

Sudarshan Lahoti. Sudarshan has been working tirelessly to

alleviate the suffering of the people in the drought-affected

areas of Maharashtra. He has succeeded in making a huge

difference in the lives of the youth; some of them have even

achieved educational excellence. We are sure that Anubhuti

will continue to give the world such great leaders and make

us proud.

This being our last year at Anubhuti, we will definitely miss it.

There are times when we still think about some past

incidents and they tickle us to the bone. The time we have

spent here now appears to be so short that we cannot

believe it is almost over. It feels as if these 7 years have just

swished past our eyes.

Anubhuti is now turning 11, and we as Anubhutians are

proud of all its achievements and at the same time grateful

for all that it has given us. We would like to wish Anubhuti

another prosperous year and would love to possess the

spark of life in our innermost being as we spend here yet

another, our last, year as Anubhutians.

Enjoy going through the pages of the first issue of Sneak Peek

in the academic year 2018—2019!

ANUBHUTI: A HOME AWAY FROM HOME!

FROM THE PRINCIPAL

The new academic year has started in right earnest with teachers going through a course on Art of th th

Living from 6 to 8 June. This is being followed by th

students arriving in batches from 9 th

June onwards. The last batch to arrive was the 11 class and now the school is in full swing. After a very long spell of heat, Anubhuti is heaving a sigh of relief with the first rains. The trees

are alive and brimming with happiness. Nature lovers are enjoying the beauty of the

glistening leaves, the birds and their nests, the flowers and the young snakes that seem to say

hello to the newcomers. The crowning glory of Anubhuti, the new massive library complex, is abuzz with construction

activities to meet the deadline– August, for its inauguration. It's noisy now but once completed, there is hope that silence

would reign supreme there. Come, sneak a peek and enjoy what is in store for you!
