Peace--- The Only way out

The students were recently shown a touching music video about the 9/11 disaster to truly understand the meaning of sympathy and understand how it is different from empathy. The beautiful song elevated the sense of brotherhood amongst students. The students voiced their opinion/feelings with an open heart much to the surprise of their facilitators……
=====================================================================================


As we came to know that we have to go the IT room, various thought came in our mind as to why we were going there. But once we were in IT room, it was a twist. Ma’am suddenly showed us a video of "He aint heavy he is my brother" . But the video shown to us made us feel really very emphatic for those who suffered from the attack. We saw that during the 9/11 attack family members and non-family members were helping each other. Fire fighters played the most important role. They did not care for their own lives, instead they thought of the people who were in need. At that point of time religion, caste, race etc did not have any effect on the minds of the fire fighters. This is a perfect example of empathy and also the fact that brotherhood is not yet extinct. As spoken in the first line of the poem, "he aint heavy, he is my brother, means that the people were not a burden for anyone at that time. During the attack people were in grief and tears were rolling down from their eyes. The crash of 9/11 attack just took a second but the impact was just unimaginable

Humans have always shown a feeling of sympathy whenever a disaster or a sad thing happens. The event of 9/11 attack took away lives of thousands of people with it. The sufferings were sympathised by many people, but it was the firefighters, the rescue operation workers and the volunteers helping in the rescue work who showed empathy not sympathy. They were helping selflessly and they did not care who they were helping. They just helped anybody who was in need. The line of the song, "he aint heavy he is my brother" correctly expresses the feeling of the people who were working tirelessly in the rescue operations.

Determination replacing disillusion

"Give me some Sun shine.....give me some Rain....give me another chance...i wanna grow up once again...."

No No No No No!!!!! I don't want to sing this song after ten years from now. Yes, indeed, the song is nice...but it has a strong essence of defeat....the defeat of a system in raising its most prized posession--- The People!!
I don't want to exist---- I want to live instead. And i have this strong desire of doing something to improve this system. Ultimately we all are human beings....and human beings are full of weaknesses. I don't know how i'll do it...but i really want to contribute to give a value contribution. I don't want student 30 years from now to continue singing this song---thereby continue reflecting the defeat of our system...

Commonwealth games


• I hope that it gets complete because all the slums are destroyed and a fact that India always works at the last moment might turn against us this year. But, I think that the hotel rooms won’t be enough for the athletes and other players. Atleast this time India should win minimum 10 medals because the games being held in India and we will scare all other countries.

–Kunal Max VIIB


• I think that it will all be completed but the quality of the hotel rooms will be very poor and pathetic.

-Yash Max VIIB

• I don’t think that the rooms for the athletes will be completed and the athletes would have to be shifted to the best of Diili’s (DELHI”S) hotels. End moment solution !!!

-Pranav BHasin

• I hope this time the govt. will take quick and serious actions and terrorist won’t spoil things !!

-Apeksha

• Well, I hope it is complete and this is a sincere hope but still it is doubtful that it will be a grand success like other International event hosted in some other country. Truly to say it could be a flop movie with lot of promotion actually bad promotion !!

Victory @Playons'2009

So now it’s a common knowledge that the recent concluded ‘Playons’ was a runaway hit amongst everybody who was connected to the Maxfort School, Dwarka. We are proud….we are happy….and we are determined more then ever. We are proud because of our achievement which is of course a collective effort of our staff members, students and our lovely parents who have placed their unconditional trust in our institution. We are happy because the after effect of this painstaking event has resulted in joyfully brimming faces of parents, students and of our facilitators. Finally, we are determined, to hold an even bigger and better event this coming year.
Our idea is not only to hold a big event…an event which would have the finest of performances while involving the best of technology, that is just a small fraction of our endevour behind organizing such an event annually. What we intend to achieve is actually the value that we earnestly seek to extract out of these events.
Events of such kind involve facilitators and students primarily. And both these entities try to take out the best from their minds to give their best on the final day. Looking at it at the macro level, well, the performances depict some story in the form of a ballet…or may be some song or dance. Children perform while trying to challenge their inhibitions of facing the public which is actually the worst fear that one may have. Facilitators on their part stretch their schedules (at school and at home as well) and explore their grey matter. The intent is the same… to challenge themselves to give something extra, to create an achievement and finally, to add value to their existence. Events of such kinds always help us in polishing our skills and strengthening our weak areas.
Current ‘Playons’ was again a victory of our commitment; the commitment that ‘Come what may, but we’ll forever continue to excel in life and try to become fine human beings’….. We pay our utmost gratitude to each and everyone who was (in some way or the other) a part of our collective endevour, ‘The Playons’.

Aamir's best till date

I can say that this is easily the best aamir khan movie and this says a lot about this movie. When i saw the movie the only thing i could think of was that when can i get the chance to see this movie again and again and again.

meaningful entertaining cinema

i felt that 3 idiots was just an amazing movie ..... and i felt that it is a reality that the burden and stress children in India get from their parents and teachers is very harsh……………but the speech that ‘silencer’ gave was just amazing ..and the ragging part was just awesome...but the thing i felt bad about was the part related to the character ‘Joy’…….he should have got at least one chance to show his talent. And the most important thing that i learnt and want others to understand is that we all should not give up so soon...and should be determined to achieve our goals in life.....-- Diksha Chauhan Max VIII

My Opinion About
The Film 3 Idiots
I think that 3 idiots is the best movie I have ever watched. It is funny, emotional and entertaining. Aamir Khan was really very good in this movie. The scene which I liked the most was when Aamir changed the entire speech. The speech was really funny and the way that the boy said it. It was very sad when the character Raju jumped from the 3rd floor. I think that it’s very entertaining and you can’t get bored even if you watch it 100 times

Fantastic movie

3 IDIOTS

3 IDIOTS IS A FANTASTIC MOVIE . THE MOVIE IS VERY FUNNY BUT IT ALSO INVOLVES RAGGING . RAGGING IS A SOCIAL PROBLEM AND THE GOVERNMENT IS TRYING THEIR BEST TO STOP IT . SO , IN MY VIEW THE MOVIE IS BREAKING LAWS BY INVOLVING a scene showing RAGGING .

Infinite Me

I was very excited and elated on coming to know that I was selected as a part of MAXFORT contingent for INME challenge camp. Many thrilling activities like white water rafting, off-road biking, etc which were a part of the camp excited me and at the same time, there was a fear of the unknown because I was about to enter into a new territory with tens of students from various schools. I participated in all these thrilling activities and my participation made me overcome my fears and taught me the importance of continuous learning. The most important exposure I got was observing the unity , behaviour, and performance of other teams. This exposure inculcated in me the team spirit, to get along with others which is very vital for a performer both as an individual and as a part of a team and also introduced me to “INFENITE ME”. This thing infused in my life a disciplined daily routine in my life. Earlier I used to react to comments or pranks made by my team mates in a negative manner. But now I have learnt how to get along with other team members so that the team spirit and sportsmanship is always sustained. I think this experience has made me a different personality. One who is more friendly, resilient, fearless, and adventurous. This experience also inculcated in me an ability to trust my mates. The experiences also made me self-reliant and taught me survival skills in a place which is out of my comfort zone. This challenge allowed me to make more friends from various schools and stay in contact with them. This INME challenge made us look into ourselves and throw away our fears and also taught me that speed is not everything, strategizing is also important. I would love to go back again and prove that I now actually imbibe what I have learnt.

me@Playons2009

I would like to share with you all my experience of being one of the comparer in the grand evening of our annual day also known as Playons. First I was getting Goosebumps because I had never done this before but I tried to gather all the courage I had .As everyone had shown so much faith in me I just could not think of letting them down... Then I took one deep breath and announced for the first program. We had the students from the choir and kindergarten who started the function with the beautiful prayers to evoke God’s presence. After seeing their performance I thought even I could do it and there was nothing to be scared of and my teachers filled me with the enthusiasm and also told me that I could do it. I started the program, in the mean time our school’s director Deepa ma’am told us that the guest of honour was not there so we had to really maintain our cool and handle the situation as I had just began the first line introducing the guest of honour. Oh God! What a fiasco we would have made if we had got scared and messed up. After Deepa ma’am had welcomed the chief guest, I began introducing the chief guest and then what…….. a mosquito started to irritate me! Gosh!! It surely had eagle’s eye…….and it chose me…… Oops, do I have sweet blood??? So, that creature made me conscious of what I was doing. But what to do, as they say –“The show must go on”
Then after waiting for a long time it was time for our play. I had to make moustaches as I had to play the role of the master of the ceremony. As soon as the play was over I came down to the podium and started to rub the moustache off. My co-comparer Shiv started to tease me but as I rubbed it he was left with nothing to say…..complete mouth shut (just kidding). I was now again back to my original self. Shiv appreciated me a lot for my performance but as soon as the curtain call song was over we had to again start with the comparing as it was not over yet. After announcing for our Middle Years Program Leader to present the vote of thanks speech, myself and Shiv rushed to our class to change as the dispersal was going to start and we ran through the backstage at a very high speed giggling all the way as we could not see much in the dark. At the end of the day for me it was kind of a great victory as I thought I had won some war. All my teachers praised me a lot and some of the viewers also did so. I felt as if I was on the eleventh cloud…….. and I would love to do it again in my life if I got an opportunity. It was one of the great achievements for me. I feel like discovering a new ‘ME’ within myself….I feel a lot more confident. ‘Stage’, which is a challenge for majority of people, is more like a home coming for me.
