DEDICATED TO MY CGHS FAMILY BOTH PAST AND PRESENT

On this our Founder’s Day 2020, we the daughters of Calcutta Girls’ High School, give thanks for the founders who established our Alma Mater.

We thank God for
our principals, our teachers, our office staff, our support staff and our students both past & present🙏🏽

About 20 days ago I posted my first rendition of ‘School of Mine’ and I am so humbled that the video has been viewed over 19K times!

Thank you to Paulami Guha and Chetna Gaurav Gupta for believing that I could play, sing and record this song even though I did not!!! Thank you Sunita Basak for reminding me of this very special day!! Thank you mama Effie for helping me with my old ‘hairstyle’ and papa Victor for filming and taking the photos 😊🙏🏽

May we CGHS Daughters keep our school banner flying high and may we never forget our motto Deus et Humanitas🙏🏽 (God and Humanity)

Today, I sing the school song again but this time to celebrate Founder’s Day I’ve tried to look like what I used to look like over 20 years ago! I’ve outgrown my school uniform but I’ve cherished some of my badges and my school sash! I know I may seem a bit ‘cracked’ but it was very special ‘dressing up’ for the occasion and to record the next few videos. Nostalgia and memories... that’s what this video is made of!

This is not a hymn, a chorus, a country folk song, a pop song or even a patriotic song. Yet to those of us, who are/were a part of the CGHS Family, this was and is a ‘special’, ‘unforgettable’ song which will always be dear to our hearts! Thank you I do hope you sing along with me 🎼🎶🎵

PS: I re recorded my ‘contemporary’ and ‘jazzed up’ interpretation of the song and sang with this recording instead of playing and singing together. In any case this is the best I could do as it is impossible for me to play the song as our dear music teachers, Ms. Kanade and Mrs. Raju, used to play it!!
