Letter To The President Of India - Nishan Karki
1st November 2022
To
Her Excellency Droupadi Murmu
President of India
Rashtrapati Bhavan
New Delhi - 110 004
Dear Madam
I would like to draw your kind attention towards the children who want to participate in an online program like 'My Good School'.
My Good School is a program run by experienced and well-educated people. Here children are free to freely share their thoughts, opinions, incidents and feelings about themselves. Children here learn, read and write with joy and enjoyment. That's why it is also called the joy of learning diaries.
We should encourage children from different parts of India to attend or participate in the My Good School program. We can put up advertisements explaining the advantages or merits of the My Good School program to the children. We also can collaborate with other schools to inform their students about the My Good School program. For all this work, we need your maximum effort and help to cooperate with us to encourage children to attend the My Good School program.
I hope my concern towards the children attending My Good School program will be looked into by you.
Looking forward to a favourable response.
Thanking you
Yours sincerely,
Student

Sayonara Totto-chan! - Anvesha Rana
I have often heard a story of a woman who lost her son but was so desperate to get him back that she went to Lord Buddha to bring her son to life again. In listening to her story, Lord Buddha said he would bring her son to life again only if she could get a fist full of mustard seeds from a house where no one had died. So the woman had set out on her task, she had gone to every home in each locality, but there was not a single house where someone had not died, be it the grandfather, father, mother, child, someone or other had always passed away. Lost and depressed when the woman returned to Lord Buddha, he had simply told her that human lives are like flickering lights. They light for a long time, but suddenly they extinguish. We need to learn to accept the loss and let the ones gone be always loved in our hearts. Just like Totto-Chan will always love Rocky and Yasuaki Chan.
When Ryo-chan, the janitor at Tomoe, had to leave for the War, all the students had organized a special Tea Party just for him. Everyone drank saké and shared something or the other for Ryo-chan. It was a fun time and the children continued the tradition of the Tea Party even after Ryo-chan was on the war ground. It was the last time they had ever gathered at Tomoe.
Whenever I have to drop someone at the station and bid goodbye, I feel as if they could have stayed just a little longer; no matter how many days we spent together or how much fun we had, at that point, all that matters is whether they can be here for just a bit more time because no amount of time feels enough when you are with your loved ones.
Sayonara, Sayonara is a Japanese goodbye, but it literally means 'if that's the way it is'. We have learned so much from Totto-chan, the Headmaster and Tomoe. It is even so unique that a young girl, simply through the means of her actions, has taught us friendship, responsibility, coping with loss, freedom and most importantly, love. So all we can say is Thank You and Sayonara, Totto-chan!
