An overview of 2012 and Programs for 2013

It is after a long time I am writing for our BLOG. As you all know that I had been sick for a long 100 days, I hardly had time for posting on the BLOG.

A lot of things are expected to happen too. But before that I would like to recount a few things.

The year 2012 have seen a few interesting things:

1. A few students from our English Language / Literature Class have got admission in the following Colleges - Bryn Mawr, Mount Holyoke College, BROWN, U Chicago, Sarah Lawrence College, Augsburg College, SUNY Buffallo and Georgia Tech.
2. ALL of the students received significant amount of Financial Aid [Between 85% - 92%]
3. Our O Level Literature students got A and B grades.
4. Azima Tarannum [Sunbeams, Class-VIII student] got a Silver in Commonwealth Essay Competition.

In 2013 we have taken the following steps

1. We have already watched Satjit Ray's c‡_i cvuPvjx and we have had a long-drawn class on its specific aspects. The students also presented Sketches on different scenes.
2. We plan to watch a few more such Films.
3. We have also decided to Work on a Screenplay based on a Shakespeare Play and turn it into a Short Film AND send it to international Film Festival.  
4. A few students of our class got registered for the online Academic Courses in Algebra and Modernism.
5. We have decided to work on EMMA.
6. We have been working on a few Poems and Novels too.
