A wise man speaks because he has something to say; a fool speaks because he has to say something.
This timeless quote aptly captures the essence of the Modern Monologue activity held on 24th April 2025, where students of Grades 9 and 10 spoke not merely to impress, but to express. With depth, clarity and creativity, they showcased their flair for literature and classics by selecting renowned speeches, literary monologues and personal narratives, and then rephrased them in modern language. Each participant demonstrated the art of meaningful expression with powerful messages. The event not only refined their oratory skills but also helped them engage with enduring themes in a voice relevant to today’s world.
