SMALL & SMART I-DAY FETE AT EVERWIN ! Good Turnout despite Attendance Not Compulsory Circular ! The age-old blind beliefs that are never a part of spiritualism cause immense fear in young minds and erode their self-confidence to achieve bigger things, said B Purushothaman, Senior Principal, Everwin on Friday (15.08.2014). Addressing a well-attended crowd of students, teachers and parents on the occasion of our 68th Independence Day at the school campus, he said the country needed in immediate future sweeping and dramatic changes in the way children are groomed. Devotional songs are played on TV in the morning giving the kids a message that they alone cant achieve things. This takes away a good part of their self-confidence. Play songs of philosophy and motivation as the day dawns for them and see the results, Mr Purushothaman argued. But instead motivating songs like thoongathe thambi thoongathe are played late night when all are in deep slumber, he pointed out. From the mike I hold now to the mobile you hold in your hands, all were invented by foreigners. At schools teachers need to educate kids in a more effective way and at home parents need to motivate children without suppressing their freedom and thinking skills. Then we will have our own inventions too, the Principal explained. Stating that the number of those thinking beyond self is on decline, Mr Purushothaman cited an incident in Sardar Patels life when in the mid of his arguing in court he received a telegram informing about his wifes death. He continued his argument for an hour to save an innocent prisoner from the death sentence and got him released too. I cant give life to my wife who is dead but I could save an innocent person from death, Patel explained later. This is a painful but true sacrifice but today even a lovers sacrifice is hailed great; a shame indeed. The Principal concluded by exhorting children to rise to such a great height in life that they could enact laws banning cine programmes on TV channels on solemn days like I-Day, paving way for activities that recall the sacrifices of freedom fighters in total gratitude Mrs V Mageswari, CEO of Everwin Group, M Kalaiarasi, Principal, Everwin Vidhyashram, Level Principals and Vice Principals were among those present. Mr M M Srinivasan, an elderly parent, hoisted the tricolour to the applause and salute of the audience.
