On the 21st July 2004  Delhi Public School Society under the aegis of our visionary Chairman Shri Narendra Kumar presented  the students of Delhi Public School Vasant Kunj the golden opportunity to interact with the in dynamic  Mr Javed Akhtar. Mrs Suleena Sapra, Director EECC, Delhi Public School Society talked of Mr Akhtar?s contribution in various fields and expressed gratitude for this rendezvous. School Principal Shri Vinay Kumar welcomed Mr Akhtar.

Mr Javed Akhtar is perhaps the most well known name among the contemporary poets because he is a multifaceted person and has an identity of his own in the fields of poetry, film and social activism. Even with numerous achievements to his name like the Padamshree and the Gyanpeeth awards the man won the hearts of both teachers and students.
In his address to the students of classes XI and XII Mr Akhtar stressed on basic human values which are eternal and absolute and go a long way in sculpting a socially oriented and value based human being. His anecdotes and musings on life?s little nuances were exemplary and touched the hearts of all present. The children talked to him on various topics ranging from the education system to yardsticks of success to Farhan Akhtar?s Lakshya. When asked to read out a few lines of a composition he chose ?Yeh Khel Kya Hai?- a poignant and heartrending account on the truth and validity of a game.
Also present on the occasion were a team of teachers from DPS Guwahati.This association with Javed Saheb strengthens as he promises to pen the school song which will be sung by generations of Dipsites.

The session came to an end with the school?s Cultural President proposing the Vote of Thanks.
