Today we have naming of parts. Yesterday,We had daily cleaning. And tomorrow morning,
We shall have what to do after firing. But today,
Today we have naming of parts. Japonica
Glistens like coral in all of the neighboring gardens,
And today we have naming of parts.
- Henry Reed (22 February 1914 - 8 December 1986) "Naming Of Parts"

In the beautiful hills of east Nepal surrounded by tea gardens, hopefully they WILL be as distracted as the young recruits in the poem by Henry Reed. One of the best mottoes for a school is probably Non Scholae, Sed Vitae Discimus, (We do not study for school but for life) meaning that we should gain knowledge and skills not for the school or exams or to please the teacher but to benefit our entire life.
Every morning in the hills of east Nepal you can see many young smartly dressed students heading to their respective schools. All seem to be very proud of their uniforms. Well almost all of them. No doubt they will be learning for life and not to just pass their yearly exams or please the teachers.
.......Camellia sinensis glistens like emerald in all of the neighboring gardens,
And today we have Three Rs....

Lochan, enjoyed pictures of the tea garden in Ilam( my first view), what I also liked was your remembrance of the school motto. Seeing the school kids did take me back to the hills from our last visit and just showed me that kids are interested in bettering their lives.
ReplyDeleteI liked the Three Rs and the Chinese poem too. Makes me want to sit up and take pen to paper, something that I did on and off at college... Pradip
Pradip, please visit this site more often and leave some comments. That is what we bloggers like most!
ReplyDeleteIf you pen a nice poem, please send it to me by email. Perhaps I can use it in my blog with some appropriate image.
Great that you liked this and other blogposts. Spread the word around to other alumni of Non Scholae, Ded Vitae Discimus!!
