THE SHOWSTOPPER.

 THE SHOWSTOPPER

The “Best of The Show” winner “Miss T” was the proverbial beauty with brains. She was an astute lady with intelligence and poise personified. Her raven hair was neatly combed and curled up in a bun. Sometimes, it tumbled over her shoulders. And when she smiled that perfect smile with her pearly white teeth, it lit up the room. Her brown, smoky eyes were alluring. 

 

The ease with which she moved suggested she was well-versed in some aerobic dance movements. She moved with the grace of a model with a practised perfect ramp walk. She was always dressed in fashionable clothes of the day, and if she walked into a room, it was hard to ignore her. She had a dainty powdered nose and pouting, inviting lips. Her slender, pencil-thin eyebrows added character to her face. God must have carved out her features with great care.

 

 When she opened her mouth and spoke, it was evident that she had a sweet voice. She exhibited a keen sense of aesthetics, signifying a keen interest in the arts and subjects like design. Her bubbly but genteel personality added to her charm. She was easy to talk to and fun to be around. Her exotic complexion was radiant. She was well aware of her good looks and used it to her advantage. She basked in the attention she always received. 

 

“Miss T” blushed uncontrollably when she was announced as the “Best of The Show” winner, edging past “Mr S”. She extended her perfectly manicured fingers to “Mr S” in a friendly gesture, showing her graciousness in victory. Her Glaxion owner, a connoisseur of talent and beauty, had invested heavily in her grooming and upkeep. Today, the showstopper “Miss T” epitomises sophistication, a film star in ethnic Indian attire. She is a complete package.

MEMORIES OF SCHOOL DAYS

    MEMORIES OF MY DAYS AT ST. EDMUND’S SCHOOL   Nestled among the hills, ours was an Irish Christian Missionary School. It was founded by Edmund Ignatius Rice, a great missionary and educationist. The story goes that he belonged to a family of tenants who were into farming. When tragedy struck, and his wife died, he was left alone to care for his daughter with special needs. He sold his elegant house, moved into a stable, and opened his first school. Today, about 800 Christian Brothers in 28 countries run prestigious Edmund Rice educational institutions and follow in his footsteps.   St. Edmunds School had colossal buildings built by the Irish Brothers amidst picturesque settings. The school had three large play fields. It also had a very tranquil and very quaint chapel. Prayers were offered here in the serene atmosphere. The classrooms were spacious, roomy, and airy, with a giant blackboard in front. An intercom was fixed in the top corner of each class, through which our Principal B
