Dear Cetians and Ceta Kids,
So we have
put a year behind us !!...
I think of the magazine as,
an initiative to step on the first rung of a
never ending ladder of experiences and possibilities. It
might not seem much from an elder’s perspective, but for us children, when we
look down from that rung, we can all see what we have achieved and I
am sure we are all proud of it. In order to climb this
ladder, it had to be
supported on a strong base, so that we could
trust it to keep us safe. According to me, this
foundation was our senior editors. Had’nt they laid this base for
us, and guided us, we could not have made this edition
possible.
As rungs or stringers
alone cannot make a ladder, each of the editors
were a valuable part of the team and this edition is a result of our teamwork.
Let me take this opportunity
to place on record the
sincere appreciation to each one
of our editors, Aparna, Goutham, Gayathri, Keerthi,
Rahul Vaishnavi, Nandalal and Serin for all their
creative ideas and diligent efforts
they have put into this magazine by sparing their
valuable time. I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to all
contributors, authors, well wishers and especially the senior
Co-ordinators Ganga aunty, Uma aunty, Babu Syed uncle, Brijesh
Bakshi, and Malini Suresh, Krishnakumar uncle, Satheesh uncle &
Tenny uncle for their consistent support and valuable
guidance..... I would like to acknowledge the fact that we editors,
have learnt quite a bit from this experience and we owe it all to our
coordinators and CETA President George
Abraham and all Past and Present
office bearers who gave us this
opportunity.
Last but not the least I would like to thank my mom for
being my guiding pillar throughout the magazine compiling process. Had it
not been for her, my school activities and these activities
would have clashed. Though I found my mom’s help a little irritating at times I
would not have reached anywhere without her supportive
nagging.
Ninavu - Kid’s edition is one of
its kind. Hope you find it a
ladder to gather fruit from the tree
of experiences and information. And it’s now up to you
all to tell us what you think about this edition. We wait with bated breath for
your reaction . Until then ..........
Take
care,
Cheers,
Merin
