A dark complexioned boy at a village fete asked a balloon seller selling different color gas balloons if even the black colored balloon would go up. The balloon seller told him it is is not what you are on the outside, but rather what you are in the inside that makes you go up in life. So cultivate values and inner zeal if you want to accomplish anything in life”. The Archbishop later hoisted the School flag during the assembly while the staff and students sang the school anthem.
