A Delight In Discovery

Early this morning after a reasonable nights sleep, I tuned into BBC Sounds in search of a good book programme to help me into the dawn of a new day. I found a ‘Book At Bedtime’ from June 2010, telling the story ‘A Rector’s Daughter’ by F.M. Mayor, under the BBC’s ‘Neglected Classic’ series. I had never heard of either the book or the author, but the setting was a 19th century backwater in Norfolk, and as I love that county, I was immediately hooked and plugged my headphones into the Kindle and settled back down.

So far I’ve listened to four episodes and it’s an absolute joy to hear this beautiful text, written in 1925. Born in 1872, F.M Mayor read history at Newham College, Cambridge, UK. A magnificent achievement for a woman at the time. She wrote four novels and a collection of short stories, The Rector’s daughter being the best known and most popular. Most of her life was a struggle with ill health and she died in 1932 at the age of 60. Finding this gem, has spurred me on to find out more about this very talented, but mostly forgotten author.

Welcome Message of the Rector

Dear readers of the RTSS Online Magazine

It gives me great pleasure to be jotting down these few lines for all of you. This online magazine comes at a crucial point in time when we are turning to a new mindset and we are investing ourselves in devising new ways of communication with the help of the modern technology. Instead of the traditional paper school magazine, the RTSS is now moving to this online magazine and we are sending a strong signal that we are endorsing the values and precepts of Maurice Ile Durable. Why rely on paper when we can use this online medium to share our views and present the multiple facets of our school and talent?

I would like to congratulate the Editorial Team for their dedication in making this online magazine a reality. I know I can always rely on my "kids" to do great things with abnegation and seriousness. Henceforth, we will try to exploit this "virtual medium" or "online medium" of communication which is cheaper, faster, more accessible and greener way of being in touch with one another.

The RTSS is a model in itself. In the past 11 years (we started in 2003), we have achieved a lot (4 laureates, 34 pupils ranked after the laureates). But my pride knows no bounds when I realise that my kids are brought up differently at the RTSS. A Tagorean stands out in the crowd because of his/her character and personality, because of his/her values, because of his/readiness to serve in all humility. We do not do different things at the RTSS but we do things differently (as Shiv Khera would have put it). Yes, we like to be different in our approach and the way we do things.

Today, the RTSS is one of the leading educational institutions of the island, it is perhaps lost in the sugar cane fields but it is very much visible and vibrant in the educational landscape of the country. Our pupils are fully involved in myriad curricular and extra curricular activities in order to develop their personality to their best. I am happy that each Tagorean feels a sense of "humble pride" of being a member of the big RTSS family. "You will never walk alone" if you are a Tagorean because we have forged a solid and unbreakable chain of solidarity which will resist the test of time.

I would like to share the following with you so that you can ruminate and reflect upon it.

People will forgive you for your ignorance but not for your arrogance. There is a great charm and pleasure in being humble. Let people talk about you but you should not brag about yourself. Let your deeds and actions be such that they talk for you. Arrogance (ahankar) leads to destruction. Someone rightly said that humility is a sign of greatness. Let us attempt to live a life based on simplicity and humility. Our short journey on earth, in this world is an opportunity to leave behind our good deeds, nice words, the kind gestures. After we leave this world, we can still live in the hearts and minds of so many people if we have touched their hearts and minds with our good deeds. People will never remember us for our wealth, erudition (great learning), fame, beauty, power but because of our simple acts of kindness and humanism. If we lift someone who is fallen, if we dry a drop of tear, if we say a nice thing to someone who is bereaved, if we make a positive contribution in someone's life, then we leave our prints on water and on the shore of time. If we do something, let us dedicate it to the One above and let us be His instrument at the service of mankind. People will not always treat us well, some will push us towards despair, frustration and ridicule but still, let us still strive to answer back with love and affection. Humility will always defeat arrogance. When people give you the bitterness of lemon, please just add the sugar of kindness and humility, then only will you neutralise the negativity of this world. It is not always easy to be calm and to maintain poise amidst adversity and tension but each tempest is a test of our fortitude. We spit too much of venom, we get angry too easily, there are daggers in our words, eyes and intentions and we bleed silently when we stab people mercilessly. The best way to heal ourselves and this world is to handle our ego through the therapy of humility. It is not easy but at least we can try it.

Some people will doubt your potential, still you should go ahead.

Some people will create all sorts of hurdles on your way, still you go ahead.

Some people will belittle you; still you should be unwavered in your decision.

Some people will be jealous of your achievements, still you should forge ahead with unflinching determination.

If your intentions are noble, then a silent voice will come from your inner self, telling you GO AHEAD, I AM WITH YOU, then you should not be afraid of anyone. The road with be filled with hidden traps, yet your march should not never stop. We should be guided by humility, compassion, and the desire to contribute something good in the lives of others.

Humbly yours

Mahend Gungapersad
