STUDENTS' SPARKLE

Students' Speak out!

JAYANTHI started off with her Revolutionary Speech on Puritanism. Tracing the Puritanic Revival in England, where vulgarity in all forms was banned till the Restoration, she added that this Puritanic revival, on the other hand, would start from within. 'Temptations oft times overtake us and overrule us, but I'd like to reconstruct the genuine love between God and man by my Revolution.' 'Remembering God at 20 is much much better than remembering God at 50,' she added. Spiritual Lethargy is another point that she wishes to address through her Revolution.
She summed up with a beautiful line "Having seen the world's fair beauty, Lord I would be blind once more."
Comments: You have a very good command over the language and the felicity and ease of expression, characterised by good communication skills and self-confidence, are your hallmark. Keep it up! Kudos! It was a great effort!

IRENE wanted to base her REVOLUTION on and within the framework of Christianity. Lamenting the plethora of sects available across the frontiers, on the religious front, she said, she wanted to unite all these sects under a single umbrella. Stressing the importance of the Cross, she said, "A single spark can bring about a great forest fire, and I would like to be this spark," she added. She expressed concern on the half-baked pastors who preach without proper training, and said, she would start a big Bible College to meet the demands. Quoting from the Scriptures in I Cor 1:18, she talked about worldly love which is enemity with God.
Comments: You've got Good language skills and good points, but a little more self-confidence and facing the audience might have proved better.

SAYUJYA based her revolution on a tirade against the present Education System. She came down heavily on the lots of technicality that has plauged the Education System and early schooling, which she feels, affects children greatly. Vocational Courses like Music and Arts, should be introduced at the early stages, where students' potential can be gauged, honed and effectively implemented, based on their preferences, likes and dislikes.
A practical side to studies, she felt, is the need of the hour. On the side of Implementation, she added that it should start from the higher echelons of the Government. A uniform syllabi is another agenda which would get adequate attention in her Revolution. The rural-urban divide should be bridged by deliberations and discussions with the Academic fraternity. In this regard, village planning has become indispensable, to make them self-sufficient. Water management, Solar power are some of the areas which she plans to look into, as part of the Village Planning agenda.
Comments: A good command over the language, self-confidence, and critical thinking are the highlights of your Speech. Added to that, some of the points on rural-urban divide were valuable and highly practical. Kudos! A noble effort!

RINILA's Revolution would be based on proper Garbage Disposal, and in this regard, her special focus would be on the youth, as she strongly feels that it is the youth who are going to take over 'tomorrow.' She would form a core group which would be divided into two main divisions, the first one to take on the government, and request for grants and rebates, while the second division would base itself on volunteers who would create awareness in schools and colleges through lectures, presentations etc. A perfect strategy for garbage disposal would be compost, where organic food is made into manure and put to effective use. With immense developments in the field of Biotechnology, she plans to hire people to help her in Idea generation, and also in garbage disposal. On the strategies she's planning to evolve to popularise her Revolution, she added that she'll make people excited about the Revolution through AD campaigns, slogans, etc. She cited Dharwad - a quiet, pleasant, and fast growing city in the northern part of Karnataka as a model district for garbage disposal and effective town planning.
Comments: You've got good communication skills, poise, and self-confidence, and the fact that you've come up with a pressing need of modern industrialised India, where the importance of cleanliness is and always been pushed to the periphery is laudable. Kudos! A good effort!

NOELINE spoke on revolution among orphaned children. Children who have lost both their parents, have become a victim to child labour, begging, AIDS, physical harassment, bonded labour in the guise of adoptions etc. In some instances, children are made to transport drugs too. Twenty years of war has left 40,000 children homeless in Sri Lanka. Thus, psychologically speaking, their mind is almost dead. Taking care of children and controlling them is quite a challenging task. Spending time with them daily, and listening to what they have to say, is a great source of psychological therapy for them. The Government and the media concentrate a lot on Scientific advancements, agriculture, sports etc, but nobody seems to be bothered about the children of today, to whom we are going to hand over the reins of tomorrow.
Comments: Your speech had a great impact because you spoke with conviction. Congrats. The Revolution that you've taken up is an indispensable necessity from the societal perspective, and as such deserve special kudos.! You were confident throughout, and you also have good communication skills. Keep up the good work!
