                                       A COIN FOR A THOUGHT 13th of December was the last PPD session for the first year. As usual we had an interesting session on this day also. This week's session is called "Rupee for Thoughts". First our madam Miss.Sarasi collect a coin from each of us and put it into a purse. And then the purse was passed from one person to another. When our madam tapped on the table we had to stop passing the purse and the person who is currently holding the purse must take a coin from the purse. That particular person had to talk about his/her memories related to the year of the coin. The session was going awesome. My fellow mates brought out their remarkable memories when they got the chance to present their memories. Those were very funny and some are very interesting. Unfortunately I haven't got the chance in this time. But I enjoyed this session by list...

From that we got an idea of what was that day's scenario. In that presentation there were some awesome life stories of great true leaders who lives and who had lived in the world.

After this we were divided into two groups and our lecturer told us to perform an act in front of the class regarding leadership. Two instances of leadership were given to two groups and we got about fifteen minutes to ready for the act. After the preparation both teams acted for the given scenarios.

At first we were divided in to 4 groups, 8 members in each. Then each team was given one sheet of a newspaper, in which all the members had to stand on that paper. We had to stand sticking to one another and each members legs had to be inside the paper. It was really hard to manage all the members inside the paper because all were in different sizes, and we had to make sure that the sheet of paper did not tear. So for this we were given 5 minutes to strategise.    It was really hard to manage all the members inside the paper because all were in different sizes, and we had to make sure that the sheet of paper did not tear.

We were divided in to 4 groups 5 in each, and we were given round shaped card boards. The activity we were supposed to do was to cross the classroom from one end to the other using the limited card boards we had got, with all the group members while ensuring that non of us our feet touched the tile instead of  the card board. The task was really challenging because we had to work smart and hard making sure we were fulfilling the conditions. We tried our best to succeed, but unfortunately, our team couldn't cross the classroom successfully. Even this was  a sm...
