Feature:Where are we heading?
There are some people who thrive on challenges, who take inspiration from life and plunge ahead wholeheartedly wanting to reach that self made pinnacle that they have set for themselves. Meet, Shalini Nambiar, Director Excelsior American School, Gurgaon, who is one of those rare persons who takes life as a challenge and meets it with a lot of

| zeal and enthusiasm. Her School- Excelsior American School believes in providing the most beneficial learning environment possible. The school's mission is to educate its students in a nurturing environment to their highest level of achievement, to produce autonomous citizens with a lifelong respect for learning and democratic values and to teach students to be sensitive to others and to have respect for human diversity.
She writes…
A bleeding knee! A bruised jaw! A broken tooth! Squeals and cries--all considered a part and parcel of growing up and yet the agonies and turmoils coupled with trepidation that it can cause in an otherwise dynamic school set up!
Isn’t this how a typical disturbed day at School seems like for us as Prinicpals who tend to thousands of children varying in temperaments and with different abilities? When disaster strikes, all our buried anxieties and niggling doubts spill over, threatening to make us view every little injury as an accident averted, making us question the very values on which we are bringing up our children. The trail of questions that will inadvertently follow is also a part of this travail. A little bit of rough and tumble is fine, we tell ourselves, but a line has to be drawn somewhere.
