Christmas Celebration 6

I completed two months in TCDAV

and I consider it my pleasant duty to

convey my appreciation and

thankfulness to all of you for the co-

operation and warmth extended to

workers and dedicated faculty

intend to provide quality education

to each and every child in the school

so that after schooling from here

the child progresses by leaps and

bounds in all spheres of his life and

turns out to be a successful citizen

in global scenario. We always believe

that love for education should be

developed in initial years and

conditions should be created for

them to pursue a positive approach in

life. Home assignments given by the

school are not a carry-over of class

work but oriented towards honing

individual talents .I wish to all my

students to do very well in their

forthcoming examinations and bring

Manali Trip

Manali is a beautiful place where

natural beauty is scattered in

every corner. I also got an

opportunity to visit KULLU

MANALI-‘the Valley of Gods’ and

Shimla with my parents and my

uncle’s family. Our tour was for

10 days. We started our journey

through train & reached Manali

directly and stayed in hotel

Adarsh Anexy at Mall Road. The

hotel was located at height so we

were able to have a wonderful

view of the surroundings. Next

day we hired taxi for all 10 days

and first visited Rohtang Pass

that was 45 km away from Manali

where we enjoyed a lot by skiing

& skating as it was all snow

there. Next day we enjoyed

river crossing at Nehru Club, saw

many water falls. After passing 5

days in Manali we started our

journey for Kullu where we saw a famous Gurudwara and hot water

spring. We also got a taste of

adventurous paragliding there.

Then we started our journey for

Shimla. We also visited an

interesting Rabbit Farm where

thousands of beautiful rabbits

were playing. Lastly we reached

shimla where we stayed for two

days and enjoyed at Mall road &

did horse riding and then came

back to Babrala. I have visited

many tourist places with my

parents earlier too but this tour

left some everlasting memories.
