Cricket after school.

Yesterday, was the first day of ASA. I had opted to do cricket. So basically what happened yesterday was that we split into 2 teams, one was lead by me and the other was lead by Ashish. We decided to play for 5 overs, since we did not have enough time. We flipped the coin, i had chosen, heads and i won. So we batted first and we managed to make around 78 runs. Then it was Ashish's turn to bat and he managed to make 77 till it was a draw. To break that tie we played a 1 over match, that meant that 2 people were on the feild. As the over came to an end, i managed to get Ashish out and win the game.

Cancer Hospital Concert. Desi Girl.

Druing the break, me and Sajiv were asked to perform in this concert.We accepted the invitation. Me and Sajiv had come up with a song, since the theme was Bollywood, we decided to do a typical Bollywood dance. The first song that came into our minds was "Maarjani". But we still looked into the possibilites of other songs we could do. So that was sorted for now.


So far in the group there was Thishakya, Priyanka, Me and Sajiv. But we thought if we included another pair, it would do no harm. So we asked Aniska and she immediatly agreed and now we needed another boy to balance out the group. So we asked Shashwat, he said that he would, but his mother dissagreed. So now we didn't want to kick out Aniska, so at that time a new kid had come in 11th and his name was Bharat. So i asked him if he wanted to do the dance or not? He was cool with it and he joined. So far our group looked balanced. We had taken permision from Mr. Cole's, taking into consideration what Sajiv and his family were going through at that time. He agreed, so we started practicing. At this point it was, Me, Sajiv, Bharat, Thishakya, Aniska, Priyanka.


The song we had chosen in the beginnig "Maarjani". Was declined by the others. So the next song that we came up with was, "Maujha hi Maujhiya" and thanks to the girls, we were conviced to do 2 songs. So the other song was "Ahun Ahun Ahun". So now we had the song sorted and we had started dancing.

All the practices took place and MY HOUSE.

After a month with that song, we thought that they were not working out, so we

Gym at Taj.

For months, i have been thinking of going to Taj for using the gym. But it did not work out because everyday, there would be some problem with the transport or me not wanting to go. But since, then i have developed an interest of going their.

Today i went to Taj with one of my friend, Bharat. We have a common goal that is body building.

What i aim to achieve this year is

1. lose weight

2. make as much muscles as i can

3. stay fit and healthy

It will not be an easy task as i will need to force my self and my body to do so.

What i did today :-

1, Half an hour of treadmill

2, 1 hour of Weight lifting ( 20kg ) and other machines which helped me workout on the other parts of my body.

3, 45 mins of swimming. 32 laps of freestyle and breaststroke.

I think this will be a very effective workout, and will help me reach my goal for the year.

CAS

During this weeks CAS, we discussed the problems that occured while planning for the party. We could not have the party mainly becuase of not getting the place booked, although we did get donations. Since we have the money now, but no party, we will give that money to the chlidren for the operations, and instead of haveing the party we will go to the children to meet them hopefully next week if everything goes well. We have talked to the doctor for an appointment and now we all have to look for a convinent date to go.

CAS - Cleft Clip Palate, Second Day.

Today in CAS, we came up with multiple ideas, as to how we could raise money.

Some of the ideas were,

1. Another party outside school

2. A auction

We were not clear as to what we would do. Some people were for doing the auction, because it was something new and no other CAS had done before. But on the other had we had experience with organizing the party. In the end we all voted for doing the Party, but this time with a theme, which is masquerade.

Now next CAS meeting we have to decide when and where we will do it and do the math.

CAS - Cleft Clip Palate, First Day.

Today, was the first day of CAS after the summer break. During the meeting, i noticed that many people had left the CAS to join other CAS's. But at the same time many new people joined, from different grades this time, because last year there were all 11th grader and 2 8th graders. In the first session, we all got to know each other and decided what role each person will do in the CAS.

We set a goal, this year of reaching a limit of 300 thousand for the children. We also had to explain to new people what the CAS was about and what it expected from them. In all i think we are off to a good start, and we should be able to hit the goal if all goes well :)

End Of Year Reflection

I had a great year at OSC in grade 11. This year i managed to do a lot of productive community service work. WWW was one of the few places where i got to do community. Coming half way through the semester to OSC was a challenge because 1. i had missed a lot of work already 2. i had not done the IB course at all before and 3. i had no friends. But in these 8 months, i have made friends and also been able to achieve more in terms of studies. I had made these 3 goals and i think i have succeeded in them. My goals for 12th grade are the same but work harder and also maintain doing sport (SAISA) at the same time. This is not going to be easy, but i will try my best to do them.

My CAS Cleft Clip and Palate Disorder, was a success. When i first joined that CAS i thought how can we start a CAS that is run by a student and which has no recognition, but i saw that we were able to come up with ideas as a group and use it to our advantage. We had our first charity event at the Blue Elephant at the Hilton, and we were able to manage all the arrangements, with the help of the Hilton staff. At the end we were able to collect enough money to pay for the operations and also play the DJ and some others. We also made a profit which we plan to use it for our next event. I think the i will continue to remain in this CAS in grade 12th.
