Happy New Month
December 2024

We have stepped into the last month of the year quietly, with no dhamaka or  fanfare! Soon this month also will pass through and make way for the brand New Year!

You can look back and see if you have any pending resolutions of 2024 to complete! Or any promises to keep, any tasks to finish, anyone to forgive or anyone to apologise to. Tackle these asap before the month ends. Christmas will make you realise how close you are to the year-end.
Enjoy December and wish for a lovely new 2025 to open-up for you! Good Luck!

Happy Teacher’s Day 2024 : 05-09-2024

 

I did my schooling in SIES High School, Matunga, Mumbai, INDIA. I passed my SSC Examination from this school in 1969. Our batch of SIES-1969 are very active in our school happenings. A few of us visit our school every year on Teacher's Day, ie September 05 and show our appreciation to the teachers of our alma mater with a bouquet, sweets, greetings etc. This year, on Teacher's Day,  we were happy to share the following poem written by me. Enjoy reading the same!!

Happy Teacher’s Day 2024 

05-09-2024

 

We passed SSC 55 years ago

We are the students of 1969 Batch

Now we are Seventy+ years young (!)

Great respect, to this school, we attach….

 

Gurus are not the ones who just teach

In and out they should try and heal

To make them reach brighter years

Each student’s pulse, they should feel!

 

Our teachers were our real Gurus

In their subjects, they would deeply dwell

We still remember all of them

And have fond discussions, as well!!

 

Years have passed, but we have not missed

Wishing our teachers on this special day

As today’s teachers too play a role

In students’ life, in many ways….

 

How can we help? we often ask,

To make our school even better

Our batch is still ready to get involved

To continue to be a trend-setter!!

 

Our school and our teachers

Have always been our shining stars

From ‘1969’, we vouch for this

Because of our Gurus, WE ARE, where we ARE!!

 

Happy Teacher’s Day, we say

To each teacher here, today…

To each student, be a Guru

For their good future, please pave the way!!

 

HAPPY TEACHER’S DAY 2024! –

From SIES-1969 SSC Batch!!
