YOUR TALENT IS GOD’S GIFT TO YOU. WHAT YOU DO WITH IT IS YOUR GIFT BACK TO GOD.- LEO BUSCAGLIA
J.F. Kennedy said, “All of us do not have equal talents but all of us should have an equal opportunity to develop our talents.” One such institution which leaves no stone unturned to provide the best platform for the students to showcase their talent is St. Joseph’s Sr. Sec. School, Sector 44-D, Chandigarh. The pandemic has no doubt wreaked unprecedented havoc all over the world but it did not succeed in damping the spirit of vivacity in the Josephians.
The staff and students pulled out all the stops in order to present the Annual Cultural Eve celebrations, Expressions 2020-21virtually via the Google Meet Platform wherein parents were invited as special guests.
The show was hosted by the students of the Middle Block who carried out their tasks with grace and dignity. Apart from the main events, the show was interspersed with items prepared by students which were much appreciated by the audience. The Cultural Eve commenced with the ritualistic ‘Ganesh Vandana’ to invoke the blessings of Lord Ganeshawho is believed to bring good luck and thus he is worshipped before anything new is started. The Western Dance and the NukkadNatak on ‘Clean Chandigarh- Green Chandigarh’ won the hearts of everyone as did the rendition of the song , ‘ KarHarMaidanFateh’. A short video was also presented depicting the ‘Importance of Technology’especially during the lockdown during the pandemic.
The audience was held spellbound by the remarkableJosephians who enthusiastically came forward to exhibit their talent in diverse genres- be it Singing, Poetry Recitation, Standup Comedy, Guitar playing, Rapping or solving the Rubic’s Cube within 22 seconds. The celebrations culminatedwith the ever effervescent Bhangra.
Principal Ms. Monica Chawla was full of praise for the assiduous endeavours of the entire Josephian Family who have not let the pandemic create any hindrance in the learning process of the Josephians–be it academics or co curricular activities. She went on to express her gratitude to all the parents who have stood by and always supported the institution. She ended with the quote by Pope John Paul II-“Artistic talent is a gift from God and whoever discovers it in himself has a certain obligation: to know that he cannot waste this talent, but mustdevelop it.”
