Kollywood studio!!!!!!

Hey guys & gals,

Today is your 4th day in chennai.. till now you have gotten wonderful experiences travelling in and out of Chennai city.. Over crowded buses, motorists racing, yellow autos squeezng their way in and out of parked vehicles, unexpected rain are some of things that you are surprised to see...

But the most exciting thing you all gonna see today is kollywood movie studio. I am not sure which studio you all would be going. There are couple of studios where the money making brains work! If you are lucky enough, you may get to see ur drama artistes, directors, or movie stars!!! Inside a movie studio, editing, re recording music houses and drama sets are built. So from singers to stars... you can see them rushing from one buiding to another building in a studio itself..

If you got to see any foreign imported cars sailing into the studio.. u got the lucky charm.. that means some star is arriving into the studio. Some places inside the studio may look familiar to you because you might have seen them in songs or stunt sequences in movies.

Anyone aspire to be a film maker or want to own a production house.. this is your golden opportunity, Normally local people are not allowed into all premises except the tourists and the ppl working there.

So, get ready your autograph books... like what Mr Anbu said in meetings... No taking off shirts in excitement !!!!!!!!!!! ok... enjoy kids...

Day 3 Photos

Some Day 3 photos: School visit at SBOA... you may read our students' post on their take about the school visit...i must say that i was extremely amazed by the various talents of the students.

3day

Helloo today is the 3rd day of our india trip. Today we had our first school vist to SBOA higher secondary school. We had a talk by the principle. then we proceeded to sit in their tamil class. It was a real diffrent experience, and I admit i was unable to understand half of what the teacher said. There was a lot of diffrence in the way the lesson was conducted. One obvious comparison was that we used more technology in our classroom then us. After that we were treated to a dance and song performance by the students. From interaction with them I learned that they were told to dance impromptu. That shocked me as I know for sure our students would complain and refuse to perform. So after the tiring day i'm in the comfort of my bed typing this.

Group 2, Day 3, 3D

Day 3, we went to the science centre to enjoy the 3D animation show. We had a fantastic experiance and it was a superb entertainment. Not only it was fascinating, it was also a treat for our eyes and we were so engrossed with the show that we dint even realise that the show has ended. As a whole package, day 3 was a very splendid day mainly because of the 3D animation show!

Some of Day 2 photos for you...just returned to hotel for a quick change up...will be leaving for lunch followed by Birla Planetorium shortly.

what is so great about SBOA school????

Hi guys& gals,

Today is your day to step into one of the most well known schools in India.. they have branch schools all over India. Just to share some facts with u all... This school campus itself resembles our spore schools.. SBOA is well known for its basketball... They have been state- level champions for years... Like our spore schools, SBOA also place alot of emphasis on CCAs besides Aacdemics.. Sometimes... too much pressure is placed on the kids.. sorry.. to say.. this is my personal opinion... But their future has strong foundation which paves way for their success. Getting admission in SBOA is really tough..Parents tend to queue up overnight to get a seat for their kids.. hahah sometimes the queue is longer than our queue for 1 dollar- petrol promotion.Fees are also expensive... ( consider the facilties in campus)..

Their participation in cultural aspects is also gd.. Recently, kids from SBOA got Young film maker award for their documnetary or short film.. Like our polytechinc comrades... they are also exposed to multi media stuff at early age itself..

So I am really happy for you all.You are able to experience and meet such ambitiuous kids and environment.. thanks to teachers... and GEL.. In person, you all get to see many things too.. enjoy...

The world is getting more competitive and.. we also work hard and motivate ourselves..to succeed one day...

send in more posts , kids...take care. bye.
