Maula Padharo! Maula Padharo!

Maula Padharo! Maula Padharo! 

That is what each leafless branch and twig on the bare tree implored from the depths of its being and the very core of those little children's hearts whose hands had drawn them. 

The students of classes IV A & B had just read the riwayat of Jabir AS and how he heard the bare tree lament the absence of Amirul-Mumeneen Maulana Ali AS whose Tashrif awri and maseh only could bring back the glory of its greenery and freshness.

The children's immediate reaction was 'Is this riwayat about Karachi and us the mumeneen of Karachi?' They know it is only the Tashrif awri  of Dai-e-Amirul-Mumeneen AS on the dry and barren land of Karachi and His Maseh on the bleak and desolate hearts of its dwellers that has the power to bring back its original glory and grandeur.

'Will history repeat itself?

With this little display of sincere longing, the conviction in their little hearts remains strong and unwavering that their Araz has reached their Bawa Mushfiq TUS and . . .  history willrepeat itself, InsahAllah.

PROVINCE REPRESENTED BY MSB

The National Games are an important event for aspiring little sportsmen (and women) and the Provincial games can be deemed as the runner-up leading towards the main event.

Thirty girls from classes 5 till 7 took part in the Provincial Games in different categories. From all the outstanding performances, two were extra-ordinary.

Ruqaiya Taher of class 6B came second by a very narrow margin in the 100 meter sprint.

Insiyah Khuzaima of class 6A came first in the long jump category. She will now represent Sindh at the National Games. It had been a tough competition with many schools participating and it is quite a feather in our cap for one of our students to be representing the Province at the national level.

The National Games had been postponed due to certain unavoidable circumstances and may take place any time soon.

We wish Insiyah all the best. Bring the trophy home, girl!

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

‘Aha’, thought Mr. Wonka,  ‘Another set of chocolate crazy kids who think they’ve become experts on  chocolate just by reading about my chocolate factory. Well, come on Oompa Loompas, let’s see what they’ve done!’

And so on Thursday, 3^rd May, Mr Wonka entered the World of Chocolate created by the talented, creative, passionate and hard-working students of classes 5 A&B.

As the students pinned onto each guest a chocolate badge and welcomed them with sweets, Mr. Wonka slipped past, unseen. He stopped in his tracks at the welcome board with his image staring down at him along with his faithful servants. ‘Don’t I look handsome!’

Next came the colorful cacao bean tree. The Oompa Loompas drooled at the sight of their favourite food. Mr. Wonka had to drag them to the next  Choco-Room which told the complex story of chocolate from ‘Bean to Bar’in simple words.

The next Choco-Room had fun facts and the multitude of benefits for chocolate eaters. ‘Hmmmph!’ asserted Mr. Wonka, ‘haven’t I always said a chocolate a day keeps the doctor away?!!

The display of chocolate makers of the world in the next Choco-Room wasn’t to Mr. Wonka’s liking at all. ‘No one, not even the Swiss can compare to my chocolate!’ he shouted angrily. Mr. Wonka couldn’t see the recipe book as parents were crowded around it writing down their e-mail addresses and the recipes they wanted.

Suddenly the Oompa Loompas started jumping up and down. They had spied the five golden ticket winners,the shining pink boat, the chocolate room and the inventing room. ‘Good job!’ said the difficult Mr. Wonka surprising himself.

The chocolate math magician was able to tell the skeptical Mr. Wonka’s age by the number of times he liked to eat chocolate!

The next Choco-Room had a chocolate sale.  Just as a guest was happily showing her golden ticket to collect her free chocolates, the show started.

Mr. Wonka looked on with rising incredulity as the children perfectly portrayed a scene from the book. The Oompa Loompas doubled over with laughter as a child shouted row on! just as Mr. Wonka did.

As Mr. Wonka signed the comment sheet, he thought to himself, ‘Each of these chocolate crazy kids deserves to be my successor. Best of luck to you all!’
