The Mythological Summit: The Birth of a New Pantheon

“When the old gods whisper and the stars realign,

New myths awaken, and a new dawn begins to shine.”

Greetings, seekers of stories and sculptors of dreams!

The stage is set, the constellations are in motion, and the echoes of ancient realms call upon you once more. KRONOS, the annual interschool Cultural and Literary Fest, returns to celebrate imagination in its most divine form.

This year, we gather under the celestial banner of “The Mythological Summit – The Birth of a New Pantheon.”

Here, myths are not relics of the past, but living sparks reborn in the hearts of creators, thinkers, and dreamers. We invite you to step beyond Olympus, Asgard, and Kailasa to forge your own pantheon of ideas, to breathe life into forgotten legends, and to weave new tales for the ages to come.

Through words that echo like prophecies, art that transcends time, and performances that stir the soul, KRONOS 2025 will be a confluence of myth and modernity where imagination reigns supreme and every participant becomes a creator of worlds.

Join us at this divine confluence where heroes rise, muses dance, and the universe itself awaits your story.

Let the myths be reborn… and a new pantheon rise!

A Legacy of Learning, Love, and Light at St. Paul’s

In loving memory of Tr. Gambetta D’Mello, affectionately known as Tr. Gambi, we gather here to pay tribute to a remarkable soul who left an indelible mark on the hearts of many at St. Paul’s.

Tr. Gambi, originally from Khar, Mumbai, brought with her a wealth of experience from prestigious offices in Bahrain, Pop Inn, and K.L.E. Hospital in Belgaum. What sets her apart is her unwavering commitment to self-improvement. She embarked on a journey of learning, qualifying, and completing her teacher’s training upon joining St. Paul’s Sunbeam Nursery under the guidance of Fr. Alban D’Souza SJ – the Manager of St. Paul’s High School.

As a second mother to the little ones in Sunbeam Nursery and later as a dedicated member of the Inigo Playschool, Tr. Gambi’s impact on her students was profound. Her blend of kindness and firmness endeared her to both parents and children, winning the hearts of all she encountered. Particularly passionate about the education of slow learners, she tirelessly motivated and uplifted them, leaving an indelible mark on their educational journey.

Tr. Gambi was a very vibrant person, always wearing a smile that warmed the hearts of everyone around her. Her considerate nature, constant worry for the well-being of others, and love for little children created an atmosphere of infectious joy. With laughter and wisdom, she brightened the days of those fortunate enough to know her, leaving an enduring legacy as a friend, mentor, and a source of endless happiness.

Beyond her role as an educator, Tr. Gambi was a pillar of support for her colleagues. Her compassion extended to accompanying them to medical appointments, especially at the KLE hospital, utilizing her influence to ease the process of medical treatment for those in need.

Tr. Gambi’s command over the English language, her eloquence, and her devout nature were truly admirable. Her regular attendance at Eucharist and prayer services reflected her deep spirituality. Furthermore, her passion for music and dance made her a shining star at school and community gatherings alike.

As we bid farewell to this remarkable educator, let us remember the joy, wisdom, and kindness she brought into our lives. In honoring her memory, let us commit to emulating the values she cherished and imparted to us.

In the spirit of Tr. Gambi’s legacy, let us continue to foster a nurturing environment for learning, showing kindness to one another, and striving for excellence in all our endeavors.

May her soul rest in God’s eternal peace.

A heartfelt reminder that her spirit lives on in the memories we hold, and her influence continues to guide us towards a brighter future.
