A Momentous Occasion: The Foundation Laying Ceremony.

Beneath the golden embrace of the morning sun, the O-Level boys of the English Medium stood in solemn anticipation, forming an impeccable L-shaped procession—an emblem of discipline and reverence. Just before the ceremony commenced, a gentle drizzle descended upon the gathering, as if the heavens themselves had chosen to bestow their blessings upon this sacred endeavor. The raindrops, delicate yet profound, whispered a message of divine benediction, cleansing the earth and anointing the moment with an air of sanctity.

The ceremony commenced with Moulavi Abdul Haleem invoking the blessings of the Almighty by reciting verses from the Holy Qur’an. His resonant voice filled the air, enveloping the occasion in a sense of spiritual solemnity. With heartfelt supplications, he prayed for the successful completion of the building, free from obstacles, ensuring that it would stand as a beacon of knowledge for generations to come.

Held under the auspices of Mr. Trizviiy Marikkar, Principal, and Mr. Fouzul Hameed, Chairman of the Board of Governors, the event bore the mark of profound institutional significance. The occasion was further graced by Mr. Thufyl Farook, Chairman of the Building Committee, and Mr. Hilal Sanoon, Project Chair, along with other esteemed dignitaries, whose presence underscored the gravity of this milestone in the school’s history.

The foundation was laid for a magnificent six-story structure, marking a transformative chapter for the institution. The new building rises on the very ground that once housed its predecessor—a two-story structure built in 1955—which had stood as a testament to the past, nurturing generations of students within its modest confines. This moment symbolized not only expansion but the relentless pursuit of excellence, ensuring that the institution evolves to meet the demands of a new era.

As the first stone was ceremonially placed, an air of reverence settled over the gathering—a silence that spoke of the significance of beginnings, of aspirations taking shape in the very foundations being laid. The boys, their eyes alight with curiosity and reverence, stood as living witnesses to history in the making. Each brick, each layer of concrete, carried with it the weight of promise and possibility.

As the sun climbed higher, casting its golden glow upon the solemn assembly, a quiet realization took hold: history was being written, not in ink, but in cement and resolve. This was not merely a foundation-laying ceremony; it was the genesis of a new chapter—one that would shape minds, lives, and destinies—an endeavor blessed from the very first drops of rain and sanctified by the verses of the Holy Qur’an.
