About 5000 students of ISM
and other capital schools had
a rare opportunity to interact with Dr. Kiran Bedi, IPS
who is a retired police officer and a great social
activist on Monday, 2nd November 2009 in the
Indian School Muscat multipurpose hall. Dr. Kiran Bedi,
the first woman to join the Indian Police Service (IPS),
who is on a short visit to Muscat, visited ISM to share
her experiences and the secrets of success with the
children of Indian schools who are the future citizens
of our great country. She
was given a very warm reception
by the Principal Mr. Achuthan Madhav, vice principals,
assistant vice principals, heads of departments,
teachers and students of Indian School Muscat. Anjana
Nanda, Head Girl and Krushika Patankar, Assistant Head
Girl presented a floral bouquet to the distinguished
chief guest.
The

his immense happiness to welcome Dr. Kiran Medi to ISM with
the support of BEC dignitary and
former committee member Mr. CM Sardar. While introducing
the Guest, the Principal gave a long list of academic
and professional scholarships of
Dr. Kiran Bedi to enlighten the student community.
This he believed the students could emulate her
spirit of achievement and mark for success.
The
Primary
Section school choir dedicated
a melodious and enthusiastic song
to welcome Dr. Kiran Bedi. These young girls sang with
great zeal and enthusiasm waving the Indian National
flag. Ms. Aishwarya of XI E rendered a mellifluous song
to welcome the
chief guest. The
chief guest was moved by the presentation.
Dr.
Kiran Bedi, a Ramon Magsaysay Award winner, revealed the
secrets of her success to the young students. The former
UN Civilian Police Advisor, advised the students to take
up their responsibilities on their own without being
reminded by their parents and teachers; to utilize their
time profitably; to develop a sense of ‘higher purpose
of achievement in life’; and to be a value to the
society and the nation wherever they live. Dr.
Bedi, a famous social activist and an outstanding tennis
star player also
reminded the students to be grateful to their parents,
and each of them was a fruit bearing banyan tree to the
world. Later she enthusiastically interacted with the
students answering their questions. Dr. Bedi enthused
the children with several comic instances and class room
events. She
said she would finish studying the course before the
teachers teach. Such
a practice she said would be a revision when the teacher
teaches the class.
She
also presented copy
of her biography “ I DARE !” to the school library
and urged the children to visit website – www.kiranbedi.com
and pickup whatever best available to them as students.
Maser
Subrajeet Gosal of Std. VIII-A presented her portrait,
drawn by him to the Chief Guest which she thankfully
acknowledged and praised his benevolent artistic skill.
Later Dr. Bedi cheerfully posed the students and
teachers of all the capital school during the
photography session. This great interaction with Dr.
Kiran Bedi and her motivational address to the children
will be cherished for a long time and certainly the
students will emulate her hard work chase such
achievements and would be one day like her contributing
greatly to the humanity of the Mother Earth.
Dr.
Kiran Bedi was profusively showing her love to the
children and enthusiastically left the hall, waiving and
cheering and giving flying kisses to show her love for
the children. The
entire 5000 students who benefited from the glimpse of
her enthusiasm and address were stunned with joys of
cheer.
