Hello Dear Alumni

Dear Alumni

Hello to All.

I’d like to thank the entire alumni body for electing me to represent the “Alumni Association of Gulmohur (AAG Trust)”. It is an honor to be elected as the next AAG President.

I am humbled that you have placed your faith and trust in me. This is a responsibility that i can't imagine myself handling better than our Founder President Mr. Abhijit Gope, still I will endeavor to represent you with utmost transparency and boldness.

I have been working for AAG since I was in school in 2010. I remember making the alumni database, learning to handle the school website, managing AAG activities. Then on 2^nd April 2013 I was appointed as the Vice President of AAG.  It has always been a proud moment working for AAG and my Alma Mater and I wish to continue this for the whole of my life.

The primary objective of AAG is to provide a common ground to the ex-students to unite and work towards a common goal of welfare and growth of Gulmohur School and its students. Future goal of AAG is to strive hard to work towards the betterment of the school by uniting every member of the Gulmohur family and reaching newer heights of success. I expect all the alumni to come forward and help AAG meet its objective.

I would like to announce the new organogram of Alumni Association of Gulmohur (AAG Trust). Though many of AAG body members are same, a new structure of Post has been defined for all of them. This would help to renew their working experience with AAG with more motivation and dedication and help AAG reaching new heights.

According to the new Organogram the working members are:

Event Management Head: Mr. Nikhil Kumar

Student Development Head: Mr. Abu Nasim Ashraf

Public Relations Head: Mr. Gaurav Prasad

Deputy PR: Ms. Gazala Anjum

The General Operations Team includes Mr. Navin Dutta, Mr. Tapajyoti Guha and Ms. Neha Sakuja.

We are in the process of recruitment of efficient members for rest of the posts. I encourage all the Alumni to come forward and work/contribute for AAG.

Once again I would like to thank all the Alumni and the AAG Core Team for considering me worthy enough for this position.

Regards,

Rahul Kumar

President, AAG Trust

COMPETITION: GOOD OR BAD??

Competition is a part of life. When you are young and still studying in school, you would compete with your classmates for better grades, when you get older and go to work, you would compete with your colleagues so as to please the boss more with your work and get a promotion to a higher position with better salary. Companies compete with each other to get more customers and slowly expand their business. Countries compete with each other for a better economy. Even animals and plants compete with each other. The plants compete with each other to as to get more water, sunlight and nutrients, while the animals in the wild challenge each other for survival and mating. So, competition is part of everyday life, but is it really a good thing?

The cause of having competition between people is that people like to prove to themselves or other people that they are actually better than the rest. People compete with each other so as to win, and winning brings benefits to the victor. Some people compete to make their views heard, like when in political elections. The representatives debate with each other and try their best to convince the public to vote for them.

People not only compete with others but with themselves too. Some people do not concentrate on beating their peers but instead, they concentrate on competing with themselves. They keep trying to do better than they did previously, therefore these people are not under as much stress as the people who compete with the society. People who compete with themselves get to set their own goals and learn or work at their own pace, and as such there is not so much strain.

Competition causes good stress.

The issue can be viewed from another perspective. The issue is not whether competition is all good or all bad, but rather is how we can eliminate bad competition and emphasize good competition.

Good competition creates a festival atmosphere, with all the attending traditions, rituals, and celebrations. Good competition creates a forum within which children and youth can test themselves against accepted standards of excellence.

Good competition involves rivalry, but never the kind of rivalry in which one side can win only to the extent that the other side loses. Good competition also means striving within the rules and traditions to do the best you can and then, when the competition is over, understanding that the winning or losing have little meaning outside the competition itself.

Bad competition, on the other hand, should be eliminated. Using the rules to gain an advantage, assuming that the only way to win is to have the best score, disregarding the traditions and rituals of the activity, and letting the outcomes affect you after the competition is over are all indications of inappropriate competition.
