 Diwali Celebrations 

The Diwali Celebration on 13th October, 2025, at The Fabindia School was a vibrant symphony of devotion, culture, and joyous participation, beautifully illuminating the morning hours with the spirit of light and togetherness across all classes.

The festivities began with a heartwarming musical play presented by our Pre-Primary students, who brought the timeless Ramayana to life through six captivating acts. With expressive acting, singing, and dance, the children vividly portrayed key episodes—from Lord Rama and Goddess Sita’s poignant exile to the thrilling kidnapping by Ravana, the loyal meeting with Hanuman, the determined building of the Ram Setu bridge, and the ultimate victory and triumphant return to Ayodhya. This enchanting performance, enriched with colorful costumes and engaging props, mesmerized the entire school community and beautifully showcased the values of sacrifice, loyalty, teamwork, and righteousness in a way that touched every heart.

Following this magical presentation, the Primary classes carried forward the festive spirit with equally inspiring contributions. Class V students opened with a rhythmic recitation of the Chopaiya, invoking spiritual reverence that set a solemn tone for the day. This was followed by a thoughtful speech that illuminated the significance of Diwali, honouring the Goddess Lakshmi as the embodiment of prosperity, wisdom, and light, which overcomes darkness.

The joyous energy continued with lively group songs from Classes 2 and 3, whose youthful voices filled the halls with melodies of hope and happiness. Classes III and IV then captivated the audience with a dramatic enactment of Diwali legends and moral lessons, emphasizing timeless values of devotion and righteousness that underpin this cherished festival.

Adding depth to the celebration, Savita Dagar ma’am’s insightful speech inspired reflection on our rich cultural heritage, while our Principal ma'am's encouraging address bestowed blessings and motivation to all present. The event concluded gracefully with a sincere vote of thanks from Prerna ma’am, our Headmistress, who extended gratitude to everyone who contributed to this memorable occasion.

This Diwali Celebration was a perfect blend of spirituality, education, and entertainment—refreshing our connection with India’s cultural wealth and nurturing a sense of pride and unity among students and staff alike. Special appreciation goes to the dedicated teachers and support staff whose creativity, hard work, and guidance made this joyous morning possible.

Together, through music, drama, speeches, and songs, our school community welcomed Diwali with open hearts, shining brightly with the festival’s true spirit: the triumph of light, knowledge, and truth over darkness and ignorance.

Poem – 'विराग'

छिपा है पतझड़ की ओट में,

सार इस निस्सार माया का।

उमड़ती जाती है यदा-कदा,

मन की सोयी हुई उमंगें।

जानें कब आएँगे दिन वे,

सावन के झूलों के,

मन के हिचकोलों के,

मन की बगिया की मोहक बयारों के दिन;

जा रहे हैं ढोये कांधों पर,

तन्हा अनथके पथिक-से पगडंडियों पर,

अभिज्ञ इस जगत् के पथ में हैं हम,

सुलगाई हुई लौ अंतस्चेतना की,

विरक्त चेतनामय साधक-से,

जानें कब आएँगे... मगर,

अफसोस नहीं किंचित, समझे मन को,

है सत्य परम यह, इस लोक-जीवन का।

Indian Fashion and Lifestyle

Indian fashion and lifestyle represent an intricate synthesis of cultural continuity and adaptive modernity. The sartorial traditions of the subcontinent are deeply embedded in its historical and regional diversity. Classical attire such as the saree, lehenga, dhoti, and turban is not merely garments but cultural signifiers, encapsulating artistic craftsmanship, social hierarchy, and ritual significance.

Distinctive textile practices, including Banarasi weaving, Kanchipuram silk, and Phulkari embroidery, exemplify India’s rich aesthetic heritage. In recent decades, Indian designers have successfully integrated indigenous motifs with global fashion sensibilities, thus creating a hybrid idiom that resonates internationally while preserving cultural authenticity.

Indian lifestyle harmoniously blends tradition with modernity, rooted in cultural diversity and philosophical wisdom. Everyday life reflects values of family unity, respect for elders, and spiritual consciousness, expressed through rituals, festivals, and cuisine. Traditional practices such as yoga and Ayurveda highlight a holistic approach to well-being, while contemporary urban life embraces global influences in fashion, technology, and education.

 "नमन है" 

एक रिश्ता जो जुड़ा था तुमसे माँ, 

मेरे जन्म से भी पहले, 

तुम करती थी अनेक बातें 

और सुन भी लेती थी 

वो सब कहीं अनकही बातें

महसूस कर लेती थी

तुम्हारे स्नेह स्पर्श को

तुम्हारे भीतर, तुम्हें देखे बिना भी,            

जन्म लेते ही मैंने देखा

तुम्हारे उस मृदुल रूप को

जिसने सींच1 मुझे प्रतिपल

अपने प्राणो से, 

तुम्हारे कंधे से लगकर

मधुर लोरियां सुनते ना जाने कब सो जाती थी,

तुम्हारी उंगली पकड़कर 

चलना सीखा, जीवन की 

ऊंच- नीच राहों पर

मैंने देखा मेरे एक आंसू पर 

तुम्हारा विहल हो जाना,

मैं कृतज्ञ हूं मां

तुम्हारे अपार स्नेह की

प्रिय माँ आज मैं स्वयं हूँ

मातृत्व की उसी डगर पर

मगर लगता है आज भी जुडी हूं तुम्हारे उसी सूत्र से 

जिसने दिया मुझे यह स्वरूप

तुम्हारे उस निर्मल ,सरल स्वरूप को मेरा बार-बार नमन है!
