Rabindranath World School, DLF City, Phase-III, Gurgaon students had a great interaction with a young, vibrant author of a detective book “THE KILLING OF MR HEATHCOTE”, Ms. Meghna Singhee. She created a crime scene to catch the interest of the students and set their minds ticking. Ms. Singhee read out excerpts from her book and then patiently answered all questions of the students. She told the children that if they are keen observers they can train their minds to work as good detectives or writers.

At one point, she asked children to “read like a butterfly and write like a bee”.

On being asked about what inspired her to create P.I. Pojo, she smiled and answered that she used to read a lot of detective books but mostly got inspired by Agatha Christie. The school editorial board took her interview. A large number of students lined up to get their books signed by her.

The Principal, Dr. Kiran R Banerji, thanked the proprietor of BookVook and Penguin Random House for arranging this session in the school.

The sessions were an eye-opener to some intricate aspects of the world issues. Delegates used all their diplomacy and ingenious methods of reasoning and argument to defend their country’s policies. They asserted their country’s stance on the floor.

Open forum witnessed heated debates by the members on the topic “National Health Scheme affordable for each citizen”. Members came well informed with points to state why NHS in India has not been successful as compared to in the western world. Many positive points were also highlighted.
