GROUP 1
ELEMENTS DANCE, ITALIAN & KATHAK NASA STUDENTS- 3 APJ Abdul Kalam Stephen Hawking NASA-1 :Hai, the world we perceive,the world we live in, the world we experience, is a component of many things. NASA-2 : There is chemistryspeaks about atoms, But it cant answer the question how the first atom came into existence. NASA-3 :There is biology speaks about evolution of life, But it cant answer the question how the first life began. NASA-2: There is physicsspeaks about laws and motions, But it cant answer the question NASA-3 :There is philosophy(speaks of life and human being) But it cant answer the question who are you? NASA-1 : But who created the universe?

Science or god , is the answer to be questioned now. Space-ship arrives. Aliens will get down one by one. (Nasa students will be frightened) All Nasa Who are you? Alien-1:(A wish in Italian). NASA-1 :We are not Italians. Alien-2 : A wish in French. NASA-2 :We are not the French either. Alien-3 :Then who are you? NASA-2 :We are Indians. Alien all : Oh! Indians Namaste All NASA : Namaste. NASA-1 : But who the hell are you here? Alien-1 : We are from Mars. NASA: Mars.. (with surprise). NASA-1 : Tell us, how the mars is. Alien-2 : There are people like you, there are animals but the climate is very different here, comparatively, you are much advanced in technology .But we are endowed with the gift to grasp fast any language and speak fluently, as we speak with you English now. NASA-2 : Alright ! Tell me , if you can, who created this universe? God or science? Alien : It is neither God nor science. NASA-3 : Then! Alien : The whole universe is created by chance .It just happened thats all. NASA-3$4 : No, it is created by God! Alien : No, it is created by chance. NASA-1$2 : No, it is created by science. Army-commander: Shouting. Stop your futile discussion.

Here there are two eminent persons to address to issue. (Dr .Abdul Kalam and Stephen Hawkin enters) NASA-1 :Sir, who created the universe God or science. Stephen :My views are based on experiments. By and large, I believe that its a mystery, but unfolded by science.

Dr. Abdul: We claim many inventions and discoveries. But nobody claims to be human being and to know the cause behind every success. What we need today is a fearless nation with a docile heart to admit Gods presence in this world.

(We get this when we have three types of people 1. Punya atama 2. Punya neta 3. Punya adhikari) When we have a value based education taught by parents at home, teachers at school and the guru in the later life, this spirituality can be integrated with science. Teacher: Sir, our students are ready to present the five basic elements, earth, air, water, sky and fire, through a classical dance, to show the integrated spirituality. Dr. Abdul: Well. These elements, Vaayu, Jal, Prithvi, Agni and Akash are beyond our human grasp. They are created by God. Teacher: Sir, we have two more unique dance performances, Kathak and Italian dance. Dr.Abdul: Dance is very typical to human expression and it is Lord shiva who escalates our spiritual intellection with the peace and harmony. Teacher: And Sir, once you said that Kathak is one of the eight forms of Indian classical dances performed by nomadic bards to bring out mythological and moral tales from the scriptures. Dr. Abdul: Yes, indeed. I also told about Italian dance that depicts modern Italian culture. It is a very colorful, energetic dance form of Italy. Teacher: Yes, Sir. Here come our students to perform Elementary, Kathak and Italian dance. Lets welcome them whole heartedly.

English skit.
Every great leader has flaws, but one to many may lead to failure in the eyes of society. William Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar" portrayed Caesar as a strong, powerful man whose pride is his number one concern. "The line between failure and success is so fine that we scarcely know when we pass it; so fine that we are often on the line and do not know it" (Elbert Hubbard, 1927). Caesar was indeed a great leader in the long run and came extremely close to success. He was displayed as a man of constancy and greatness throughout the play. As stated in the quote above, Caesar was ."..on the line" of success and did not know it. His decree showed qualities only a gifted leader possessed, but his flaws made those qualities sightless in the views of society. Although Caesar was a great leader, his death was necessary for the success of Rome.
