A Call for Global Peace From DMA on International Peace Day

21^st September is observed as International Peace Day and Patel House celebrated this day to strengthen and commemorate the ideals of peace within and among all.

The celebration initiated with prayer followed by thought for the day proclaiming peace as an integral part for human existence. Its absence makes our challenges and our struggles much more difficult.

Shruti Chauhan in her inspiring speech exhorted on development of inner peace and nurturing attitudes that promote the expansion and integration of peaceful principles.

After the motivational words vouched in favour of peace, Sakshi Sharma recited her poem enveloping this small word with a deeper meaning attached to it as well as its different interpretations, perspectives and understandings yet the meaning is one but  for one’s own self.

Next followed the group song by choir students with the beautiful message that peace can be reached within,  at the right time, through mutual sympathy,  values, attitudes and ways of life, that rejects conflicts. Thereafter the Patel House students presented “Peace March” where Tanish Arora as Gandhiji spread the message of universal brotherhood overcoming the constant fight going on ,inside us in the form of good versus evil. He urged to be on the path of peace to have no strife of conflicts, wars and terrorism.

After the meaningful message by Gandhiji, the epitome of peace and non violence, another power packed enactment by Nimisha as Mother Teresa stole the show. As her words have cast a magical aura where all the unrest within us got settled as peace has the true power of moving the mountains. In the same way, when we put our problems in God’s hands, he puts his peace in our hands.

Up next , the students took the pledge to maintain peace in speech, actions, conduct and by uniting together in all respect to create a safe haven for one and all.

Mrs Geeta Arora in her speech apprised that flourishing culture of peace will generate the mindset that is a prerequisite for the transition from force to reason, from conflict and violence to dialogue and peace.

After that honourable Principal Dr (Mrs) Ritu Dewan appreciated the efforts being put up by the students and the teachers of Patel House in presenting peaceful, serenading and yet meaningful assembly. She also urged that each one of us can make an active choice each day through seemingly small acts of kindness, compassion, forgiveness, co-operation and understanding and thereby contributing to the establishment of peace all around.
