dreams of a glamorous life. Unfortunately, her dreams are too
unrealistic to be true.She asked the students to have high aspirations
and work steadily towards making them a success .She also spoke of how
parents do not want their children to face failure, and instead advised
the parents present to bestow their children with values needed to fight
their own battles.

courage exhibited by eminent personalities in the face of fear and
adversity. The skit culminated into a dance to the lilting tunes of

Hindi poetry and a Kathak performance.
