LEARNS THE NUANCES OF FILM MAKING
I was lucky to get an opportunity to attend a wildlife film-making workshop
organized by CMS-VATAVARAN on 20 October 2009 at India Habitat Centre.
The 12-hour workshop was hosted by Mr. Vijay Bedi, a Green Oscar Awardee
whose family has been in wildlife film making from three generations.
Eighteen students from different schools participated. We were briefed
by him about the various steps involved in film making. We were also
made aware of the problems we would face and how to overcome them. We
learnt how to use the state of the art equipment. We then headed to
the zoological park for a hands-on experience. It was wonderful to be
so close to nature.
We returned to the Habitat Centre and shifted our focus on editing of
films. It was an amazing experience and I felt enlightened after attending
it.

The countdown has begun. The clock strikes and here we are sitting all
night, trying to cram the course with the anxiety of completing the
syllabus and fear of not passing the exams. Therefore, the need of the
hour is how to beat the exam monster with study skills and time management.

a workshop under the renowned Psychiatrist, Dr. Samir Parikh at Max
Health Care, Saket; that awakened us to the fact that studies can be
made really interesting and easy with the right study skills.

A highly informative street play was presented on Disaster Management,
for students of class IX by artists from Theatre Point. Through their

fire hazards and acts of terrorism. They gave valuable inputs for tackling
these disasters through alertness and preparedness. Panic at the time
of disasters augments the casualties, while wisdom and preparedness
