Saina Nehwal and Kidambi Srikanth Win Indian Open

Thought for the Day

Indian Open Winners:
Saina Nehwal and Kidambi Srikanth
made the nation proud, after a huge loss
in Cricket.
Both the players clinched their maiden
women and men's singles titles at the
India Open Super Series badminton
tournament.
After defeating the former world
champion, Ratchanok Intanon from
Thailand, Saina became the first Indian
women shuttler to achieve world number
one ranking.
Srikanth, world rank no. 4, had to toil
hard to register a thrilling three-game
win over sixth seed Viktor Axelsen of
Denmark in the men's singles
competition at the Siri Fort Sports
Complex.

Preparing for the New Academic Session.
After a long break after the
final exams, it is time that the
session starts. But while you
are excited about entering the
next class, here are some
points that could help you
prepare.

1)

2)

Review and introspect:
begin by objectively reviewing your previous
year’s performance and
identify subjects that
don’t particularly interest you or where your
performance has been
relatively lower.
Create a time table basis
the new time table you
get in school, and devote
some extra time to reading more (outside your
textbook) about those
subjects you are not interested in particularly.

That helps in developing
an interest.
3)

Do not ignore the subjects
you are good at, and devote quality time to them
too.

4)

Do not compare your
performance with others.
Always compare your current performance across
subjects, with your previous performance.Your
performance should also
be upward.

5)

Ensure you devote some
time to hobbies, each day
and spend at least an hour
playing outdoors.

6)

While you enjoy cartoons,
TV, and Video Games it is
important that you read
books too. Identify books
that interest you and read
at least a page before going off to sleep.

7)

This year, instead of focusing on exams and results, focus on excellence and knowledge. Try getting as much of it as possible,
while you don’t lose sight of exams.
