Teacher's Day Visit

On 5th Sep 2010 the teacher's of GEMS English School were taken on a visit to Sasaram, the district Head Quarters of Rohtas District in Bihar. Since my wife works as an English teacher at the School, we went as a family to the trip. We all went in two buses of the school to the tomb of Emperor Sher Shah Suri.

This tomb belongs to the Emperor Sher Shah who was a commander under the Mughal emperor Babur and then became the governor of Bihar. He later overthrew the Mughals and established the Suri dynasty. He is well known for rebuilding the Grand Trunk Road. He died in the year 1545.

This massive structure is 122 feet high and it is built in the center of an artificial lake.

We all went around this place for sometime. Then we had games. The female staff played passing the ball and the male staff played a game in which each male member was given a name of a fruit and the ring was thrown up and the name of a fruit was called. We had to quickly respond and catch the ring or else we lose. Then all were given newspaper sheets and were told to tear them and make into a long rope without any cut. The games were all interesting.

We all had some snack and then we left back to the campus in the evening.

We all had a good time of fellowship and the teacher's day was a memorable one.
