YESTERDAY WAS A MONUMENTAL DAY FOR ME AS I WAS BESIEGED BY A GROUP OF YOUNG,BUBBLY, ENTHUSIASTIC AND SUPER CHARGED EX-STUDENTS OR A.K. A.ALUMNUSS OF ISS AT MY RESIDENCE LATE IN THE EVENING...................WHAT WAS A SHORT PLANNED SMALL CHAT SESSION TURNED OUT TO BE MARATHON DISCUSSION WELL PAST MIDNIGHT. SOME EXCERPTS FROM THAT AMAZING CONVERSATION................. Q-1 DOC,WHAT IS THE ROLE OF EX-STUDENTS IN THE PRESENT SCHOOL FUNCTIONING?? ANS-1 WELL! I BELIEVE EACH ONE OF YOU ENTERED THE ISS BEFORE 15YRS ATLEAST AS A MASS OF SHAPELESS,WET,MUCKY DOUGH AND THEN FOR 14YRS [INCLUDING KG+10+2] WERE KNEADED,THRASHED,MOLDED,BAKED,GRILLED, THROWN IN FLAMES,SINGED WITH HOT IRON TO EMERGE AS THE MOST PERFECTLY BAKED,PUFFY,CREAMY AND ULTRA TASTY BUNS OF SALALAH SCHOOL BAKERY. IN SHORT YOU ALL WERE BAPTIZED BY FIRE & HOLY WATER OF WISDOM & MANNERS & ETIQUETTE AT THE HOLY ABODE OF LEARNING CALLED ISS. Q-2 DOC,WHAT CAN BE DONE BY US IN LIFTING THE SCHOOL FROM ITS PRESENT STATE TO A HIGHER PEDESTAL OF ACHIEVMENT OF GLORY & STATUS ? ANS-2 WELL BOYS,YOU ARE THE TRUE AMBASSADORS OF THE QUALITATIVE & QUANTITATIVE STANDING OF THE ISS THEN & NOW.YOU ALL MAY HAVE EITHER YOUNGER SIBLINGS OR NEPHEWS & NIECES WHO MAY BE MAKING YOU AWARE OF THE PRESENT STATUS OF THE SCHOOL. Q-3 DOC ,CAN WE BE A PART OF THE SCHOOL MANAGEMENT BASED UPON OUR CAPABILITIES AND FORTE AND HELP TO IMPROVE OUR VERY OWN ALMA MATER?? ANS-3 OFF ,COURSE !!!! PLEASE VISIT THE WEBSITE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE INDIAN SCHOOLS IN OMAN.THERE IS A SAMPLE OF A FORM CALLED EXPRESSION OF INTEREST WHICH CLEARLY STATES THAT ALL PARENTS/EX-STUDENTS AND EX-PARENTS ARE ELIGIBLE TO APPLY FOR THE SMC POSTS . Q-4 SIR,BUT WE HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT UNLESS YOU ARE A PARENT OF AN ISS KID YOU CANNOT BE CONSIDERED FOR SMC??? ANS-4 OH! NO.......YOU DONT NEED TO HAVE A CHILD AT ISS TO BE A MEMBER OF SMC. ACTUALLY WE HAVE EVEN TEACHERS OF ISS WHOSE CHILDREN STUDY IN OTHER SCHOOLS WHILE THEY WORK AT ISS. WHO CAN BE MORE ELIGIBLE THAN YOU BOYS THE FINEST OUTPUTS FROM ISS AFTER 14 LONG YEARS OF PENANCE. COMING TO THINK OF IT,MOST OF THE SMC PEOPLE THEMSELVES HAVE NOT CLOCKED 14 OR 15 YEARS IN SALALAH THEMSELVES,SO IF THEY CAN RULE THIS MAMMOTH ORGANIZATION WITH THEIR LIMITED KNOWLEDGE OF THE ECONOMICS OF SALALAH,THEN WHY CANNOT YOU BOYS BE ELIGIBLE FOR THE SAME................. IF THIS POSITIVE TREND IS ALLOWED TO FLOURISH,VERY SOON WE WONT FACE TEACHERS SHORTAGE OR STAFF ISSUES AS A LOT OF OUR VERY OWN BOYS WILL RETURN TO THEIR ALMA MATER AS TEACHERS AND PROFESSORS OF INTELLECT & CAPACITY AND LEAD ISS TO A GOLDEN TOMORROW..........................
