They say something's can’t be
taught and they also say something's you need to experience to learn better and
so it was on 3rd July 2015 when we had one good day full of high
quality edutainment, where we did not just learn but also enjoy every
bit we learnt.
The day began with reflecting
that how nature with every living and non living thing inspires us, from
the waves that rise in the sea displaying it’s strength to the dragon flies
that soar over the waters and A light house that is a “ A ray of hope “ , and a
rock that said “never let it go”. Everything that is around us teaches us a
lesson.
As we went down with the flow we
understood how important it is to listen, because everyone can speak, but how
many do listen? We had many entertaining sessions like every group had to
memorizing couple of countries and capitals in a minute and then choose correct
option on the question paper. Also we made a bridge with newspaper it was a
group activity again, we solved the jigsaw puzzle of a world map in group and
understood the importance of group work, like quote goes “united we stand and
divided we fall”.
We also were given various tasks group-wise where we had to in act that we are in a train or in a fruit shop without speaking and the others had to guess . Then JJ sir taught the Steven Covey concept of interdependence, where we can remodel our lives from the state of dependence to interdependence(via independence), it is where we need to break ourselves and make ourselves into something more valuable. He elaborated on the seven habits which can help us be more effective people.

For some Life is a complex
concept where you need to achieve success with enormous formulas ,for some it
is a song you just sing it and life passes by, but for few Life is all about
giving and attaining happiness , because the feeling of being selfless is over
all the success you have achieved.

The day’s last task was a mime where the students were divided into 2 groups and they have to act on the various situations. In all it was one of the most fabulous day we had at Christ University, and we will cherish this memory all through our lives. Thank you Sir for all that you did and you do.
In the morning when I left for
the college I was envying my roommates as they were sleeping, but now I realize
the day was all worth it. One of the best days in Christ University!
