“Those who try their best, taste victory!”
Even the turbulence of this Pandemic could not stop our LMLites to reach new heights. Our
students created history as they excelled in ISC (class XII) and ICSE (class X) results.
City Topper Anjali Mehta secured 99.8% marks in ISC-2021 from Science stream. It was all
possible because of her consistent hard work and perseverance. Nisarg Patel (Humanities)
bagged 97.2% and was on cloud nine when the results were declared. Diva Lohiya (Commerce)
secured 94.8% and won accolades.
In ICSE (Class X) 2021, Prempratit Kothari stood first by securing 98.33%, Renee Shah and
Kuljot Bakshi with 97.17% stood second and Prarthan Patel stood third with 96.83% marks.
My sincere congratulation to all the students who brought laurels to the LML School with their
outstanding performance!!
The Management and the staff of LML School are overwhelmed with the stunning results of our
students and wish them luck for their future endeavors.
The year was full of changes and challenges. It was a year of digital revolution in Education. On
one side, we saw students trying hard to cope up with the online classes and on the other side our
educators rendering their selfless efforts to provide safe and effective digital platform to cater to
the need of the students. Both readily accepted the challenge and emerged out to be successful in
mastering the blended mode of teaching-learning transaction.
We at LML School believe that with the tremendous power of our latent capabilities, we can win
against all odds. That’s why we accept this ‘New Normal’ with optimism. Nothing can shake our
confidence and faith if we are illuminated from within. With the same spirit and enthusiasm, we
celebrated our 75th Independence Day on our campus. The exuberant students and educators of
LML School organized a heart touching event to praise the glory of our Motherland. The entire
event was full of vigor that replenished our enthusiasm.
I would like to convey my sincere gratitude to my LML family for their tireless efforts and always
leaving a legacy for others to emulate.
At the end, I would like to conclude with the quote “ If you BELIEVE IN YOURSELF and have
DEDICATION and PRIDE and never QUIT, you will be a WINNER. The price of VICTORY is
high but so are the REWARDS.
May God bless you all!!

Students of Classes XII and X did unprecedently well in their ISC and ICSE
Examinations 2021.
Presenting the stalwarts and their SUCCESS MANTRA.

ANJALI MEHTA ( 99.8%) BELIEVES…….
   Success is the result of perfection, hard work, learning from failure, loyalty, and
    persistence.
   Success does not come easy. If life throws you a challenge, fight back hard. You might
    fail numerous times to achieve your ambition. But never let failure be an end as there
    is always light at the end of every tunnel.
   Self belief and determination will always earn you success. Don't wish for it, work for
    it. I believe that in life, you have to give things your best shot, do your best.
   Remember, big journeys always begin with the small steps!

DIVA LOHIA (94.8%) BELIEVES…….
   Being consistent is the main key in order to achieve your desired goal.
   One needs to be consistent and have patience throughout their preparation with positive
    mindset without worrying about the result.
   Constant practice is all needed to succeed also one needs to stay calm during
    preparation and be persistent .
   Also, keep in constant touch with your mentors and teachers as they will guide you in
    correct direction. With all this kept in the mind you will come out with flying colours!

NISARG PATEL (97.2%) BELIEVES…….
   Focus is the key to success. As long as you're focused, everything is possible.
   One needs to have a winner mindset, not arrogance, just self-confidence.
   A very important thing to note is that if you want to succeed, you must distance yourself
    from distractions like social media, games, etc.
   In case you want to relax, just take up a good book or talk to your family, teachers and
    friends, because they are as much a part of your success as you!
From the desk of Principal - LML School
KULJOT SINGH BAKSHI (97.17%) BELIEVES…….
   First and foremost make a schedule a night before to start your day with.
   You have to step out of your comfort zone to perform at your utmost potential.
    Without stepping out of that box of yours, you won’t get to experience your limits.
   Prioritize things in a well-defined manner. You would have to leave certain things
    at some point of time for the things that matter the most at that time.
   Consistency and regularity play a key role in your preparation.
   Be ambitious and set your aspirations high. “Shoot for the moon. Even if you
    miss, you'll land among the stars.”

REENE SHAH (97.17%) BELIEVES…….
     What is "Success"? Success is the accomplishment of a goal or an aim. This is the
      definition that you can find in any book.
     To be honest, success is defined differently for each individual. It could be scoring
      97% in 10th for one student, or passing for another.
     Thus it becomes extremely important not to compare the level of success you have
      achieved with others, but focus on doing your best.
     Success is not being as good as the best individual in a certain field, but being the
      best that you can be in that field.
     This is why my success mantra is to focus on myself, and not let others, or the
      expectations of others get to me.
     Small efforts must be put it in regularly, and giving up should never be an option.
     Following discipline and applying proper time management will not only lead
      you to the path of success, but will take you all the way across.
      Just make sure that YOU are happy in what you are doing and no one can stop
      you! Happy Conquering!!!

PRARTHAN PATEL (96.83%) BELIEVES…….
   Consistency : one should always be regular in his or her work .Regularity helps
    in prevention of stress during time of exams.
   Self Discipline plays a major and vital role in academics when it comes to online
    studying. One must not be distracted and be attentive during lectures.
   According to me balance between hard work and smart work .

WHAT DOES FREEDOM MEAN TO A STUDENT?

When we hear the word "Freedom" the first thing which comes to our mind are the historic tales
of India's freedom journey, Maya Anglelou's famous poems and also American tales of freedom.
Some people might also think about the freedom to travel anywhere in the world, financial
freedom, freedom to hang out with friends and what not. Everyone has different perspectives of
what freedom is.

According to my view, freedom is the power to live as one wishes to. As a student, we must have
the freedom to say what we feel and think, instead of what we "should" feel and think. It means
we can express ourselves without any hesitation. It gives us right to raise our voice against any
unfair practices which can happen anywhere and anytime. This also uplifts student’s self-
confidence by letting them stand for 'themselves' against powerful people and their hurtful
practices.

We have heard one of the famous quotes of Mahatma Gandhi that says, "Freedom is not worth
having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes." Thus, the freedom also means to
take risks on our own behalf, instead of choosing to be only 'secure' so that we can learn from
our mistakes.
Freedom for us also includes the term "self -peace". By this, I mean internal freedom. You cannot
separate peace from freedom because no one can be at peace unless he has his freedom. We
believe that there is freedom in self-compassion and self-acceptance too.

To question what is right and what is wrong before blindly accepting anything is our freedom.
We have the right to know about everything without being judged. Freedom is also the right of
learning anything irrespective of his/her background.

To sum up, Freedom has both bad and good effects. It completely depends on how he wants to
use his freedom.

                          Why do we celebrate Independence Day?

India celebrates Independence day on 15th August every year. As it is on this day in the year
1947 India got its independence from British rule. … Furthermore, we celebrate Independence
Day to remember our Freedom Fighters. Because they were the ones who struggled for our
country and sacrificed their lives. Our Independence Day is of great importance to us. As it is
the only day when we can remember our martyrs who died for the country. Also, it is the only
day when we forget all our cultural differences and unite as one true Indian. Nowadays people
think that Independence Day we have holiday for making fun, but it is wrong. Independence
Day is for remembering the struggle freedom fighters face to protect our India. Special thanks
to Mahatma Gandhi, Subhash Chandra Bose, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel and many more. We
cannot forget them throughout our life. Best thing I like is that they did not use any means of
violence. I love my India.

 15th August is our Independence Day. On 15th August 1947, India became independent from
 the British Rule. It was the luckiest day of the year 1947 when India became independent after
 lots of hard struggle and sacrifices of the Indian freedom fighters.
 When India got its independence, the public of India had chosen their first Prime Minister,
 Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru who had unfurled the tricolour National Flag at the Red Fort, New
 Delhi for the first time.
 Prime Minister hoists the National Flag at Red Fort in the morning at 9:00 a.m. Lakhs of people
 go to the Red Fort to listen to the Prime Minister’s speech to the nation. National Anthem is
 played by the military band and the Prime Minister ends the function by urging the audience
 to recite ‘Jai Hind’ loudly with him. All the people rejoice this special day with great joy every
 year.

Independence Day Celebrations
                   “Swaraj is my birth right and I shall have it”
These words resonate in the heart of every patriot. Swaraj was a path of struggle ,a mass
movement under the leadership of stalwarts like Mahatma Gandhi, Nehru, Subhash Chandra
Bose to name a few.
Freedom is a right, a vision of one identity one Nation. This 75th year of Independence is being
celebrated as ‘Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav’ and keeping up with this spirit Lalji Mehrotra Lions
School proudly celebrated the 75th Independence Day with patriotic fervor and zeal.
The Platinum Jubilee of Independence was a show following all the protocols and SOP during
the pandemic. It was a freedom call against all odds. The corona virus has not defeated us but
with our resilience we have emerged from the confines of our home to freedom and once again
to a normal life.
The celebration commenced by welcoming the Chief Guest Mr.Paresh R. Jani, Guest of
Honour Ravajibhai Vasani, Honourable Lion Members and Judges with the traditional ‘Tilak’
and the guard of honour by the Headboy and Headgirl along with the school band.
The flag hoisting was followed by the National Anthem. The lighting of the lamp was followed
by felicitating the guests at Kala Kendra.
The speech in English by the Head Girl Jolly Soni spoke of the New India. In the words of
Abdul Kalam “A developed India is a mission we all can take up and succed”. The speech in
Hindi by the Head Boy Sparsh Sharma envisioned India standing tall as a global player.
The Group Song followed in the sequence Jal, Agni, Prithvi and Vayu highlighting the ‘Unity
in Diversity’ of India. The second attraction was the performances by the four houses.
The performances recreated the freedom struggle of 1857 to attaining freedom in 1947. Special
tribute to the Corona Warriors whether it be doctors, soldiers and sanitation workers was
acknowledged in the performances.
‘Sewa Parmo Dharma’ was and will be the motto of all Indians.
The speeches by the distinguished guests was motivating. The Chief Guest of the day focused
on the,’ Girl Child’. The women of India are not only looking after the home and hearth but
are also brining laurels to the country. The Tokyo Olympic is a witness to it.
The Guest of Honour reminded us about the martyr’s who laid down their lives and gave a
message that character determines our goal.
Dr.Pallavi Seth inspired us with her couplet. She highlighted that India has a rich history and
it was a fruitful year as India came out with a vaccine. This is a historic moment for us. India
proved to the world that nothing can stop it from achieving its goal
The curtain came down on the show with the Vote of Thanks by our Honourable Principal Ms
Ranjana Mandan. The much awaited results of the music and dance competition was the finale.
The first position was won by Agni, second by Prithvi and the third by Jal in both the
categories.
