Bhaiji. An enthralling one hour talk, on 'Achieving Excellence in Education' left the audience spellbound and in awe of Bhaiji's&nbsp; repository of knowledge. The lecture was interspersed with good humour and his lucid delivery went well with the children. <img src="http://www.dps.edu.sg/DNLImages/kbj2.jpg" width="230" height="147" hspace="5" vspace="5" border="0" align="right"></p> <p>Commenting on the intriguing and enthusiastic responses of little DIPSITES on education he wisely said : "Education is not necessarily academic in nature. It is all encompassing of the values and morals in life. Values and morals is what makes a man. Life becomes successful when we search for the truth, imbibe it and also utilize to the fullest the limited money and time that we have. We should always have the winning streak in us or else we will not be successful." <br> The catch phrase of the session was "<em>time flies</em>". How true and aptly put by Bhaiji that 'When time is concerned everybody is poor'. </p> <p align="justify">Bhaiji was highly appreciative of the standard set by DPSIS in achieving excellence. In the end, the floor was open to the children for Q &amp; A session. Bhaiji was very much impressed by the questions posed to him and in fact he admitted&nbsp; that his ambition was to become a Pilot which he felt he would achieve one day.

The concept, which was well appreciated by the students of class 9, 10, 11 and 12, is a step in the right direction so that DIPSITES at Singapore achieve their aspirations through awareness at right time during their <img src="../images/CF_news.jpg" width="225" height="158" hspace="5" vspace="5" align="right">careers. Professionals from various spheres of life and business lent their valuable presence to the event. To name a few, Mr. Nirmal Gopalan from one of Singapore's biggest banks - HSBC, told the students that there was more to life than becoming a doctor or an engineer and that "if they had an inclination, there was a career to be had". Mr. Varun Vishwanath - a hseadhunter, stressed that grades wasn't the </p> <p>only thing that mattered in life, all-round aptitude was what recruiters looked for. Mr. Nagita and Ms. Shareena of SATZONE provided counseling for how to&nbsp; apply for the Student's Aptitude Test, and what universities and colleges in the United States looked for in their applicants. The students heard first hand about how co-curricular activities, social work, a varied set of interests were as, and sometimes even more important than academic qualifications. The event was brightened up by Varun Venkit, a percussionist with a leading rock band in India - Agni. Varun, all of 22 years old, had followed his heart and taken up percussion as a career. A passionate young man, he had his own vision for his art, which he sought to use not just as a form of entertainment but also as a form of therapy. <BR> <BR> To add further colour to the event, students dressed up as professionals from the sphere of their choice, and addressed the class on why they were choosing the career that they wanted, their goals and the challenges&nbsp;that awaited them.<BR> <BR> A very well organised interactive event, the career fair turned out to be popular with both the participating students as well as the professionals, and there was no doubt that this would become a permanent fixture of the DPSIS calendar for years to come.</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="content"><span class="contentHead">Falguni Pathak's Visit </span><br> <br> <p>8th September 2006 was an unforgettable day as the Dandiya Queen, Falguni Pathak, visited our school. <img src="../images/falguni1.jpg" width="180" height="122" align="left">She was greeted not only by our reception, but also by a group of young, eager children.

The cultural show commenced with the Garba dance. Our little Dipsites spiritedly danced on the stage. The stage looked like a riot of colours, with the wonderful Ghagra-Cholies of the young girls and the beautiful backdrop made of shades of pink and purple. The dance was accompanied by Mr. Amit s tabla beats and Mrs. Patralekha s dandiya beats. This was followed by a dance, performed by a score of teachers and some parents.
