Poonam Shatrughan Sinha & YJ Swati Garg

The 53rd Annual Conference of the Association of Schools for The Indian School Certificate (ASISC) 2010 recently got over. And this year it was hosted by none other than our very own
Ryan.


This grand 3 day conference was held in aamchi Mumbai. Naturally, apart from the humongous number of Principals (1200 atleast from all over India), there were also a staggering number of celebs who graced the occasion. Not wanting to be left behind, we YJs took up the task of trying to glean as much info as possible from them.

The conference was held from the 24th to the 26th of November, 2010 at the picturesque Renaissance Hotel, Powai. And mind you, in spite of a wide gamut of celebs, our questions were endless and entertaining!! There wasn't a single quiet moment. With dynamite sessions and performances going on within the hall, and incessant interviewing on the outside; let's just say that we YJs didn't just learn a lot, we also enjoyed loads. What more can I say- LEARNING AT IT'S BEST!!

All together this group of students were found to be keen learners, innovative and above all original in their development of news stories. For them the world of Television News is much beyond the level of just Breaking News.
