To platform the hidden talent of tiny tots and to give them the chance to present themselves before public, a Fancy Dress Parade was organized for Nursery students of Udgam School For Children presented themselves beyond expectations. Right from Political Leaders to Fairies to Animal kingdom – all were witnessed. Along with students even parents had a wonderful time, observing their confident wards on stage.

Great Expectations - Charles Dickens

"In what ecstasy of unhappiness I got these broken words out of myself, I don't know. The rhapsody welled up within me, like blood from an inward wound, and gushed out. I held her hand to my lips some lingering moments, and so I left her."

Her feet dipped into the Indian Ocean. At first the water felt warm, then a sudden rush of cold as her expectations drowned. And as she walked along the sandy beach, trailing through the shallows she realised: it was luke warm.

This journal entry met my expectation because it addressed most of the concepts that needed to be discussed. It would have been nice if the student could have been a little more creative both with their details as well as their word choice.

Advent, a season of great expectations, with all the nostalgia of loved hymns, carols and pageants. Is this our sole expectation, or a soul expectation? On a personal level do we offer ourself, our own inner soul, as the place for Christ's birth?

This painting with the concerned, compassionate face ....is it John the Baptist, Jesus, or an Oscar Romero? A demanding face, offering hope but also judgement....the fly-away hair and beard dissolving into the words Justice, Faithfulness, and Steadfast Love. ...The hard service of the Word, burning like the prophets. An advent expectation; what can it mean for our society to await the birth of the Christ child?
