“The possession of knowledge does not kill the sense of wonder and mystery. There is always more mystery.”

Anais Nin.

Greetings from S.P.S. family !

Our endeavour is to set up conditions of learning which make for uniqueness, for self direction and self initiated learning for the students. Our current compilation is an attempt to allow the students to explore, as widely and clearly as possible India’s immense heritage, to discover that exclusive enigma and charm of India in the most interesting manner and to take them on a journey through the land of dreams and romance, of splendour and magnificence cence, palaces and monuments, fabulous wealth and royalty that India was.

Indeed our attempt has been successful- you will find our young writers marveling at the genius of builders long dead and the glory that was associated with the intricate, ethereal architecture of the buildings featured in the magazine. The grandeur of the architectural legacy of our great civilization has come alive for the students as they meander through the remains of the ages gone by- some world famous like the Taj Mahal and the Qutub Minar and other cloaked in obscurity, but architectural gems nevertheless.

Our attempt is always to introduce our children to the universe which is full of magical things patiently waiting to be explored. All we need to do is to fi re and ignite the imagination of the young. As Albert Einstein said so correctly, “Imagination is more important than knowledge. For while knowledge defines all we currently know and understand, imagination points to all we might yet discover and create.
