This school might be a good school. But they need to change their counselor. She doesn’t know how to do business. She doesn’t know the slightest etiquette even. I asked her how many kids are there in a class? And she said it’s non of your business. Then I said thank u and came back from there. I will never ever go back there. When they cann’t respect us how can they respect our kids.

  1. This school is not concentrating on Basics which is very much required for any child. They have no text books also.
    I don’t think this school is a good school for children of all ages

 
3 August 2012      Hi all,

I would like to share my experience with Silver oaks. My Daughter studied from LKG to 4th Class ( close to six years) I paid only 10000 as donation in 2006. Currently it went up to 1 lack, all most ten folds of increase.

Following are my ratings compared to other school around Miyapur

Infrastructure — 7/10
Education standards —8/10 ( Very good for lower classes)
Education standards — 6/10 ( Not good from 5th grade)
Teaching staff — 7/10
Admin staff — 3/10 (Bunch of idiots)
Management attitude towards education— 4/10 (commercial)

Thanks
Ram

Silver Oaks School bachupally is THE school i was looking for.The excellent Principal Mrs Sita murthy has trained her staff extremely well .She focuses on overall development in a child with a loving attitute towards a child ,since my son is in class PP1 ,children at that age need the love more than harsh method.She manages to make children Happy Learners who look forward to going to school everyday.

I am extremely happy with the administrators especially Mr Dhanunjaya who is very dynamic and full of energy and takes intrest in every child to excel, with a fatherly touch.All children like him very much.

I think Silver Oaks school is the No 1 school in Hyderabad!

 
5 Hi,

I went to silver oaks on saturday for my daughter.this is for  LKG admission.As it is well established school(at least in parents mind),they are in hurry to make money.There is no advisor available,only apllication vendors are there.If you ask about fee structure and academic details,they are giving in short answers.more over asking to go through their site.only they will tell you fee structure.the fee also increased drsstically compared to last year(more than 30%).If you do not buy the apllication,they will give you rude look on you.For LKG ,the fee structure as follow.

Donation:40K

Term fees:12k*

transportatioin:4.5k*3

deposit:10k

annual fee:9k

books+exam fee+uniform–10K(This is my guess)

outings+picnix etc—5k(this is als guess)

If you dont have any problems in spending money on education,then you can think of.what i have mentioned above is for LKG.

my opinion :

1) Quality of education– no idea

2) Teachers & Management–in one of the reviews,some people mentioning different opinoins.if the application vendors are teachers,my vote is negative

3) Infrastructure–too good

4) Extra Curricular Activities–might be good

5) Transportation–mentioned

6) Fee Structure–mentioned

Vikas is much closer to highway than Kennedy or Silver Oaks may be after Sentia. My cousin’s kid goes here for LKG. He has been happy. I am sure Acaademics will be good at Vikas nto sure how good are extra curriculars. For now i choose Silver Oaks. i am sure there will be seats at other schools (Kenndy or Sentia) even in Febrarury. last year they had seats in April too. Silver oaks has Dec 31 dead line for phase 1 that is why i put in app there now and seems to be higher demand of all schools on that road.Srini

2.) Silveoaks: 10 year old school follow IB-PYP till class 6 and then CBSE, Fee comparatively lesser than DPS but after Admission year to year cost will be more or less same. Good feedback from parents

The Creek

BinduLeave a comment

This is just a collection of the reviews I got on the school from different sources.

  1. One of my neighbour’s kids go to creeks. As far as I know from them, it is good studies wise as well as the fees. my kid goes to Silver oaks. I feel even Silver Oaks is good..My kid has improved a lot..teachers are friendly..and one more thing is that they have specific principles like thay dont let parents spend extra money for annual days etc..they follow IB teaching techniques..so I feel it is good. I think I have spoken much about Silver oaks than creeks..anyways..I find Creeks is gud in all ways (economically also)..
  2. for long term also creek will be the best i think so as  per my knowledge
  3. greener space is good….but did u notice the building of creek….it has not concrete roof. so in summer our kids will wither to the heat.

Balapur Ganesh

Bindu3 Comments

I often come across interesting news items in ‘The Hindu’ and feel like sharing with you. Because not all of you subscribe to ‘The Hindu’ and not all editions carry all the local news!

So the latest one I wondered at was about “Balapur Ganesh’ . It is not the Ganesh that makes news, but the Laddu he holds in his hand! Way back in 1994, the person who bought this Laddu got good fortune, and since then it has become a ritual to auction the Laddu and people buy the Laddu by bidding higher prices. And it is believed the Laddu brings them luck.

If the tradition continues from 1994 till date and the bidding price for the Laddu has almost reached amounts ranging to 5 lakhs, then you can imagine how much of fortune that Laddu must be bringing.

The Visa Balaji – Chilkur Balaji Temple

Bindu5 Comments

Finally we saw the Visa Balaji – Chilkur Balaji temple – The Visa Balaji

Image

Chilkur is a small village situated at a distance of 30 kilometers from Hyderabad city. I had heard a lot about it but had not visited the same. I often postpone visiting places as I reserve it for vacation so that both my mother and my nephew will be here and we can visit places along with them. But this time we had to hurry. The reason was my husband had to submit his Visa documents in three days. He has been working on it for months and still not able to complete the same, how can he do that in three days. But his manager asked him to hurry up. So there was no other way, than to take the help of Visa Balaji!

Yes, believe it or not, this Lord Venkateshwara at Chilkur Balaji temple is popularly known as Visa Balaji. All those aspiring to go abroad come here and take his blessings. During the first visit, they will offer 11 Rounds of Pradakshina ( Going around the God or the Temple for 11 times) . Then once their wish is fulfilled they have to come back and offer 108 rounds of PradakshiNa. If you are too lazy to offer the Pradakshina, and if you plan to offer only Dakshina the so called donation to temple in monetary form, this God will not accept.

Yes, the beauty of this place is

ü     it does not have Hundi, the box where devotees offer cash to God.

ü     Also it does not have separate queue system. All should go in only one line.

ü     When we do pradakshina, the Purohits stand their and they keep singing and make devotees sing.

So, coming back to our story, when my husband suddenly came and told me tomorrow we are going to Chilkur Balaji temple, I thought why tomorrow, how can Anagha (my small daughter) get up early? Why early? Why cannot we go afternoon?

He said, ‘No, I heard there will huge rush of devotees, if we can reach their by 7am, then it is ok, afterwards there will be huge crowd’. I said, ok, let us leave at 6.30 then.

We booked the taxi at 6.30 a.m, and it was 7.a.m by the time we left. I was just praying that, let there be not too much crowd, otherwise my husband would scold me for not leaving early!

But to our surprise there was not much vehicle movement in road. So our family friend Mr.Vasant, who accompanied us told, there might not be much crowd today as it is Ganesh Visarjan in Hyderabad. Otherwise by now, we should have come across lot of vehicles. So by God’s grace there was not much crowd when we reached temple. We took Coconut and flower to offer to the God. Mr.Vasant told, they will not accept anything. But the shopkeeper insisted. He told us, we will be allowed to Garbhagudi, the inside shrine where God’s Pooja takes place if we have that Tulasi garland!. We did not believe him, but still took the Tulasi leaves garland, coconut and flower garland. There was no queue at all and we reached the inside of temple very easily. But there were hundreds of people doing the Pradakshina. If on a un-croweded day there are so many people doing Pradakshina, you can imagine what will be the plight on other days, peak days and during afternoon hours.

We got to see the god from outside the shrine, not the inner shrine as told by flower shop keeper!. But Darshan was good. Here also they would ask us to move, but still we could fill our eyes with God’s beauty for atleast 30-40 seconds, as against Tirupati, where you get a glimpse only for fraction of second. After the Darshan and offering flowers, which were kept in the Tray there, we made 11 Pradakshina to God. Even my daughter happily joined us in the Pradakshina. Then we sat in the temple premises for a while as is the custom we follow. Then we had the darshan of Lord Shiva in the same temple.

It is said, in this temple you should not close your eyes in front of Shiva!

Then we had our breakfast at Harita restaurant, run by APTDC.  Did some shopping and returned home.

On the way back we stopped at Gandipet Dam and enjoyed the beauty of Water, then stopped at Durgam Cheruvu to get a glimpse of Biggest Ganesha Idol. Returned home before noon happily delighted and blessed!

Only washing No soaking

Bindu3 Comments

SOAK NO MORE, what a topic. From past few months this is the discussion I will have with housemaid.

Until KV started working as housemaid in our house I always kept the clothes in two baskets, one for the housemaid

and one for the washing machine. And it was our work to soak and put in washing machine. And often we would forget

to soak the clothes, so we will not put them in washing machine and it would pile up. When I say we, it refers to myself

and my husband. Both of us spend lot time in front of pc and still feel after becoming parents we are not finding time to

browse!! So forget about soaking clothes and putting them in washing machine. So finally when the clothes exceed the

capacity of the basket, and we start feeling I do not have anything proper to wear, that has gone for wash, this is not

there, then we feel it is emergency, and we put all clothes to washing machine without soaking. And as this has

continued for many years, our clothes are much dull compared to the clothes of my brother or mother, whom we often

visit or who visit us. When I see my brother’s baniyan and my husband banian next to each other on the string,

everybody can easily make out, which one is my brother’s and which is my husband’s!!

It is not that my brother is very active or hard working than us, the reason is he has mother with him :-), he has

maadevamma ( the maid from 20 years) soaking and washing his clothes regularly, mere paas kyaa hai? washing

machine hai!!!

‘unke paas washing machine nahi hai’ ( they do not have washing machine)

Then thanks to KV, the new maid to our house, she is more like a family friend than just a maid. The reason can be

she is watchman’s wife thus she is neighbour, employee of our apartment and my housemaid. So she would start

washing the clothes herself, after looking at them in basket for few days. Then I told her, its ok KV, you soak them, I

will put in washing machine. So she would soak it, and next day she would come and see it is still in bucket, then she

would put in washing machine. Next day she would come and see clothes are in washing machine, she would take

them out and put for drying.

Now everyday she teaches me, you should not soak for so many hours, it will smell, dont leave in washing machine for

so many hours, it will smell badly!! I know, I know, but I hardly get any time out of these contests, cooking and my

daughter, where is the time to remember I have to put clothes to washing machine!!!

Now it is really great news indeed!!, No soaking and only washing. That means, KV can directly put the clothes once

she comes to work, by the time she completes her other work like washing utensils, and mopping floor, the washing

machine would have washed the clothes, so she can put them for drying before she leaves!! No dull color, no smell, no

more lessons from KV!! Now I need not be afraid of maid, who would ask me everyday, you forgot to put it in washing

machine??

Sakkare Bylu (Elephant Camp) Shimoga

BinduLeave a comment

Sakkare bylu is a place situated in Shimoga District, Karnataka State which is in India.

Most part of Shimoga originally known as Shivamogga is covered by Forest area. Thus there is plenty of Greenery and wild life. Also the river Tunga flows elegantly through out the year. As such Shimoga has lots of Tourist spots but here I tell you about less known ‘Elephant camp’. The place is called Sakkare bylu. In the local language Kannada, Sakkare means Sugar. I believe there were Sugarcane fields nearby, and elephants came to eat them regularly, may be that is why they still come there today, and place is named ‘elephant camp’.

If you would like to visit Elephants you should be there by 8A.M and before 10a.m. The bathing process goes on from 8am till 10am. Then the elephants are fed breakfast. Their foreheads are smeared with Oil to keep them cool during summer. They were given Dry coconut, Banana and Hay as breakfast. You can also go for Boat ride in Tunga river.

I heard there will be elephant ride too, but on the day we went it was not available.

On the way back we visited Gajanur Dam, where a dam is constructed to Tunga river and water is used for agricultural purpose. There we played in the clean and cold water.

Here are some of the photos from our visit to Sakkare bylu.
