Jai Hind, dear readers
Today’s Good School Alliance session, conducted by Jugjiv Sir and Manisha Ma’am, was truly enlightening and inspiring. Jugjiv Sir read and explained the story “The Door-to-Door Bookstore” in a very expressive and engaging manner. The story beautifully conveyed the power of reading and how books can shape our imagination and personality.
The story revolves around Carl Konrad Koreander, a passionate bookstore owner, whose shop is filled with rare and magical books. One day, a young boy named Bastian visits his store and discovers that books are not just pages with words, but gateways to imagination, wisdom, and self-discovery. Through their interaction, the story highlights how reading can open our minds, deepen our understanding, and make us see the world differently.
Throughout the session, Sir guided us in learning the correct pronunciation and meanings of several difficult words. This helped improve our reading fluency and vocabulary. The interactive discussion and thoughtful questions encouraged us to think critically and share our interpretations, which made the session both educational and enjoyable.
From this experience, I understood that regular reading not only enhances our language skills but also strengthens our concentration, creativity, and empathy. Books truly are our best companions, helping us learn, grow, and dream beyond boundaries.
In conclusion, today’s session was deeply motivating, informative, and memorable. It has inspired me to make reading a daily habit and to explore more meaningful stories that enrich both mind and heart.
Reflection on today's session✨
Today's session was very inspiring and knowledgeable for everyone. In the first session, Jugiv Singh sir had read a book named "The Book To Book Store" in which we have learnt a lot of new words, and also this improved my vocabulary and some English.
In the second session we were having Manisha Khanna ma'am who told us about the "Ruskin Bond" story and the story name was "char pankhudiyan" and also at the beginning of the story we played a short quiz about Ruskin Bond in the quiz she asked us some unique things about Ruskin Bond life and asked the questions related to that and the story was about four friends. At last, Sandeep sir told us very nice and good things, and also motivated us to move forward in our lives. I am really thankful to have this opportunity to have such a great platform for learning new things, to have motivation from all the members of My Good School ๐บ.
I thank Sandeep sir, Jugiv sir and Manisha ma'am for taking today's great session
Both sessions were truly amazing
Thank you ๐
Today’s Good School Session✨
Today's session was truly inspiring and informative. In the first session with Jugjiv Sir, we learned how to pronounce words correctly and use punctuation marks effectively through reading reflections and the book “The Door to Door Bookstore.” This activity significantly improved my vocabulary and communication skills.
The second session with Manisha Ma’am was equally enriching. She read us the story “เคाเคฐ เคชंเคुเคก़िเคฏां” (Four Petals) written by Ruskin Bond. The story revolved around four friends who were mistaken for kidnappers while trying to care for a small child. We also enjoyed an engaging quiz that deepened our understanding of Ruskin Bond’s works. The session was truly interactive and fun.
One key takeaway that resonated with me was the importance of avoiding impulsive decisions, especially when we are emotional. This valuable lesson has left a lasting impact, and I’m truly grateful for the opportunity to learn.๐ธ
Thank you, Manisha Ma’am and Jugjiv Sir, for such a thought-provoking session.๐ซ
Today’s Good School Alliance Session✨
Today's Good School Alliance session was truly phenomenal and left an indelible mark on my learning journey. I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to Jugjiv Sir for his engaging and thought-provoking presentation.
The story he shared was captivating, and the interactive discussion that followed was incredibly enriching. It not only enhanced my comprehension skills but also encouraged me to think critically and express my thoughts confidently.
What struck me most was the emphasis on the importance of regular reading in improving our reading skills and vocabulary. The session was a perfect blend of learning and fun, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to be part of it.
I’m excited to include reading in my daily routine and look forward to more such sessions that foster growth and development. Thank you to our facilitators for an unforgettable experience! ๐
Today’s Good School Alliance Session
Today’s Good School Alliance session, conducted by Jugjiv Sir and Manisha Ma’am, was truly inspiring and engaging. They read a beautiful story, and we listened attentively. Afterwards, they asked us some thought-provoking questions that encouraged everyone to share their ideas and perspectives.
This activity helped me understand the story more deeply. While listening, I paid close attention to their pronunciation, which helped me improve my own reading and speaking fluency. I also realized how regular reading can strengthen our vocabulary and overall language skills.
Thank you, Ma’am and Sir, for such a wonderful and enriching session! ๐ธ

Happy 4th Birthday to My Good School! ๐ May it continue to shine as a place of knowledge, growth, and inspiration for many more years to come.
Today’s session was truly inspiring and informative. In the first session with Amardeep Sir, we learned about the teachings of Guru Nanak and gained insight into his travels across various regions, including Makkah, Madina, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Tibet, and India, as he explored the true meaning of life and religion.
The second session was a fascinating discussion with Brinda Ma’am and Jugjiv Sir, where we read excerpts from The Inner Life of Animals. We delved into the world of animals, exploring their desires and emotions towards humans. The session was both encouraging and thought-provoking, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
A heartfelt thank you to the organisers for an engaging and enriching experience.

In today’s session, we had the great personality, Mr. Amardeep Singh Sir with us. His best quality is that he does not believe in any kind of discrimination in religion. He told us about the Islamic religion and the story of Mecca and Madina. Then, he showed us a video about all religions in India. He also shared an important moral – the compassion of a mosque. Sir very patiently answered the questions of the students.
After some time, one more teacher, Mrs. Brinda Ghosh Ma’am, entered the class. She read a story titled The Inner Life of Animals and later asked us questions related to the story.
This session was truly one of the best sessions!

Educating with Empathy.pptx by Manisha Khanna
Our Sunday School experience was more than a class; it was a gentle reminder that values shape who we are. We carry these lessons forward, proud to be Sunbeamians who believe in touching lives with empathy, spreading kindness, and facing every challenge with determination.
The second session with Jugjiv sir was a delightful book-reading experience. The Door-to-Door Bookstore by Carsten Henn highlighted the immense value of friendship through the story of Carl, a bookseller.
Today's session was incredibly encouraging and helpful in my journey to develop essential skills, be empathetic, and practice kindness.
Today, we had Ms. Shikha ma'am with us, and we learnt about kindness, friendship, and empathy. I understood how we can help our friends in every situation—whether they are facing a problem or not, and whether they are in a good mood or not. I felt thrilled because Ma'am helped me answer my question and also gave me a chance to speak. Today's session was very interactive and genuinely one of the best sessions I've ever had.
In today's session, I learnt that kindness is when we do something good for others, but empathy is when we actually feel what they feel. Kindness is like giving a hand, and empathy is like walking beside someone so they don't feel alone. When both come together, even small actions can make a big difference. A simple act, such as listening to a friend or standing with someone who feels hurt, can give them the courage they need.
Today, I understood that kindness is the action, but empathy is the heart inside it. If we practice both, we not only make one person's day better, but also make this world a softer and kinder place to live in.
It was one of the most fruitful sessions I have ever attended. It was taken by Ms. Shikha Agnihotri and focused on how children's emotions affect their lives. She has conducted multiple analyses of child psychology, and her explanation of kindness and empathy made it clear how we should practice these values in our daily lives.
We asked many questions, and Shikha ma'am answered them patiently, ensuring that she conveyed the essence of kindness and empathy to us. In the middle of the session, we even discussed coping with bullying, which made the discussion even more impactful.
In the first part of the session, we read a story about the inner life of animals. The story was truly confronting—the life of animals, how they feel, what problems they face. This story also tells you about a place where animals stay freely without any danger. And in the second part, Manisha ma'am read the story of Lakshya and also told us about what things are required in the path of your success. The story tells about why there is a need for ambition.
And my favourite part was the question-and-answer session where Jugjiv sir answered all questions in a very understandable way. At the beginning, I also got a suggestion for making my reading better.
Today’s My Good School session left me with many thoughts to carry forward. The first book, Inner Life of Animals, read with Ms. Brinda Ghosh, opened my eyes to the depth of emotions animals experience. It was touching to realise that they too have feelings and connections, reminding me that empathy must extend beyond just people—it should include every living being.
The second book, เค्เคฏा เคเคชเคा เคฌเค्เคा เคฆुเคจिเคฏा เคा เคธाเคฎเคจा เคเคฐเคจे เคे เคฒिเค เคคैเคฏाเคฐ เคนै, shared by Ms. Manisha Khanna, made me reflect on how we prepare children for life. It was a gentle reminder that education is not only about marks or subjects but also about giving children the strength and courage to face real-world challenges with confidence.
Both readings beautifully connected—the first teaching us compassion, the second resilience. Together, they showed that true learning is about shaping both the heart and the mind. Each Sunday at My Good School feels like a step toward becoming better versions of ourselves.

Today’s session was truly eye-opening and deeply enriching. We began by exploring Peter Wohlleben’s The Inner Life of Animals, where scientific facts unfolded like gentle forest fables. His storytelling revealed the emotions and hidden struggles of creatures like squirrels, ravens, and horses—transforming them from mere animals into beings with inner lives that deserve empathy and respect. It made me more aware of the challenges animals face and the importance of creating safe spaces where they can live peacefully alongside us.
Adding to this, Manisha Ma’am shared the inspiring story of Lakshya, centred on ambition and determination. It beautifully highlighted how clarity of goals and a strong mindset can shape success. This narrative not only encouraged me to reflect on my own ambitions but also reminded me of the value of perseverance in everyday life.
What truly elevated the session was the engaging way our mentor connected these stories with larger life lessons. The discussions showed me how storytelling has the power to reshape our perspectives—whether about the natural world or about personal growth.
Overall, the session left me inspired, motivated for self-reflection, and equipped with practical ideas to grow both as a learner and as a person.

Manisha Ma’am then shared the story of Lakshya, which focused on ambition and determination. It taught me that having clear goals and the right mindset is essential for success, and it made me reflect on how I can apply these lessons in my own life.
Overall, the session inspired me, encouraged self-reflection, and gave me practical ideas to grow both as a learner and as a person.

At today’s Good School Alliance Reading Session, I attended the discussion on The Inner Life of Animals by Peter Wohlleben. I really liked how the storytelling made scientific facts feel like little stories, almost like fables of the forest. Animals were shown not just as creatures but as beings with emotions—squirrels, ravens, and even horses felt alive in a new way through his words.
Our mentor’s responses during the session made the discussion even more engaging and helped me realise how storytelling can completely change the way we look at the natural world.

Today, I learned that achieving success requires a clear aim, skill development, and hard work. Breaking down goals into smaller parts helps maintain momentum, and embracing failure as a learning opportunity is crucial. By staying focused and committed, I can make steady progress towards my objectives. This reflection reminds me to work diligently and maintain a growth mindset to achieve my goals.
Today’s My Good School session was truly inspiring.
The Meet and Greet with Pramod Sharma Sir allowed us to learn from a veteran educationist who has dedicated 50+ years to shaping education. His presence was a reminder of the value of lifelong learning and the powerful impact a single teacher can create.
The first book reading from The Door-to-Door Bookstore (Chapter 5: Words with Jugjiv Singh) highlighted the importance of words, stories, and conversations in bringing people closer. It reminded me that books are not just meant for reading—they open doors to meaningful connections and thoughtful discussions.

In today’s session, meeting Mr. Pramod Sharma was truly inspiring. His unwavering determination and clarity of purpose showed us what true passion looks like. As I asked him questions, I realised how deeply committed he is to education and personal growth. His explanation of gratitude reminded us to cherish every moment. One quote I now believe in is: “Purpose fuels passion, and passion shapes legacy.” This session wasn’t just informative—it was a powerful reminder to lead with intention and heart.
Today’s first book reading from The Door-to-Door Bookstore (Chapter 5) made me realise how powerful words and stories can be in connecting people. It showed me that books aren’t just meant to be read—they spark meaningful conversations and help build genuine bonds between individuals.

It’s 2025, and students have unlocked a superpower: selective hearing.
Homework? “Oh… that was just a suggestion, right?”
Deadlines? “But sir/ma’am… time is a social construct.”
Writing assignments? “Pens are so last century, can’t we just send emojis?”
Meanwhile, Netflix, gaming, memes, and reels enjoy full attendance and 100% completion rates.
Motivation—the old fairy godmother of education—seems to have retired. “Follow your passion” has been upgraded to “Follow whatever is fun right now.” Result? Balance and time management are missing in action, probably lying somewhere between a half-finished essay and a three-hour YouTube binge on “10 ways cats secretly rule the world.”
“My hand hurts!” – after writing exactly three lines.
“Why write when AI/Google can?”
“The page looks so scary… all that white space judging me.”
“Typing is faster, duh.”
“Do I really need to write an essay when I can just make a reel about it?”
Writing, for many, feels like running a marathon… barefoot… uphill… in the snow.
Control Approach: Strict rules, constant monitoring, and punishments given out like free Wi-Fi passwords. Effective for a bit—until students start treating you like the router itself: only noticed when you block their connection.
Coach Approach: Gentle nudges, guiding questions, and life lessons. Teaching that freedom without responsibility is like a pizza without cheese—fun for one bite, but regret forever. Coaching is slower, but it builds habits, self-awareness, and the ability to manage life (and deadlines) without panic attacks.
In today’s world, pure control sparks rebellion, while pure coaching can feel too “chill.” The magic is in mixing the two—a coach with a pinch of control. Like adding just enough salt to pasta: too much ruins it, too little makes it bland.
Because while gala time is great, learning to balance fun with goals isn’t just a school requirement—it’s a life superpower. And that, dear students, is as non-negotiable as exam dates.
If writing feels like a burden, why did every great thinker, leader, and creator—from poets to inventors—still turn to pen and paper to capture their thoughts?
Maybe writing isn’t about the homework at all—it’s about discovering your own mind on paper.
Now it’s your turn: What do you think writing gives us that no screen or shortcut can?
Write back—because your thoughts matter.
This was my third session (though I could join only for the last 20–25 minutes), and once again, it was amazing—full of insights on reading techniques, explanation patterns, and the art of weaving stories through narration.
Today’s session reminded me that storytelling is more than just words—it’s a bridge between minds, turning ideas into experiences. When students share their visions, they don’t just imagine the future; they begin to shape it. Imagination fuels possibility, and stories breathe life into it. Our role is to listen, encourage, and believe in the power of their dreams.
Overall, the session was truly fruitful, offering many practical methods we can adopt in our own teaching.
Jai Hind, everyone,
Every Sunday’s session leaves me inspired, and today was no different. The techniques shared for reading, explaining, and narrating stories opened up new ways to engage learners. It proved that storytelling goes beyond speaking—it builds connections, sparks creativity, and helps shape young minds for the future.
Truly, it was a rewarding session with plenty of ideas to bring into the classroom.
Jai Hind, dear readers,
I am Aayush Kumar Singh from Class 10 A, and this is my reflection on today’s session.
Study like you’re shopping for a luxury item—focus on the quality, not the cost. The best results don’t come from watching the clock, but from immersing yourself completely in the work.
Another way to put it: Dedicate yourself to learning with the same unwavering focus you’d have when purchasing something without looking at the price tag. True wealth isn’t measured in hours spent, but in the depth of knowledge gained.
Or simply: When you’re truly invested in your goals, you stop counting the hours you put in. Success isn’t about the quantity of time you spend, but the quality of the effort you make.
I am Saksham Gupta of Class 6E, and I am going to tell you about the session named "My Good School." It takes place every Sunday to help us improve our reading skills. This platform not only strengthens our reading but also sharpens our thinking power.
About the Story
Today, the story was "Weathering the Storm" by our mentor, Ms. Brinda Ghosh. She is an amazing teacher, and I really enjoyed the way she told the story.
I would also recommend that other readers join these classes every Sunday. They will definitely help improve your reading.

PYDS Reflections.pdf posted by Manisha Khanna, GSA Principal
The children are thrilled to attend Sunday School. Each week, they look forward to the stories and lessons that spark their curiosity and joy. But what they love most is the time they spend in quiet reflection, thinking deeply about what they've learned and how it touches their lives.
This habit of introspection isn't just meaningful—it's powerful. It helps them understand themselves and the world around them. Reflection makes them more thoughtful, responsible, and aware. In fact, it shapes them into better students, not just of books, but of life.
This is a truly inspiring reflection, and I’m Aayush Kumar Singh, Class 10 A, Sunbeam School Ballia, writing this after attending the session by Mrs. Manisha Khanna Ma’am!
Thank you and Jai Hind!
What I liked the most was how the teachers explained the topics — everything was clear and easy to understand. The question-and-answer part was also exciting. The teachers answered all our questions patiently and kindly. I enjoy the My Good School sessions on Sundays. They are very informative and well-organised.
Thank you!
