‘Vyomotsav’, the name chosen for our much-anticipated Space Fest celebration. The name was thoughtfully suggested by Mohammad Ammaar, a bright student of Class X-A1, Rajendra Nagar Campus 1, whose creativity and passion for exploration embody the values CMS seeks to instill in every learner.
Mohammad Ammaar said, “From an early age, I have been deeply fascinated by the world of ideas and imagination. I find joy in studying theology and philosophy, world of fiction classics, architecture, fine arts, and sciences. One of my greatest passions is drawing comics or mangas and writing stories, both being my favourite things to cure boredom! These interests have helped me create a mind and personality that is curious, thoughtful, and driven by the ideals of creativity, excellence, and exploration — the very values CMS strives to instill in all its students.
When given the opportunity to suggest a name for this ‘Space Fest’ celebration, I wished to offer something that would resonate with our collective spirit — a name that would honor our roots, reflect our ambitions, and celebrate our journey beyond the ordinary.
I found my inspiration in the timeless beauty of Sanskrit. The word ‘Vyom’, meaning the infinite sky or cosmos, to pair it, I chose ‘Utsav’, symbolizing a joyful celebration of life’s triumphs. Together, they beautifully became ‘Vyomotsav’ — a celebration of the skies, of victories that reach beyond our limits.
‘Vyomotsav’ is more than just a name; it is an ideology, of what we stand for. It invites us to look upwards with wonder, to celebrate the human spirit that refuses to stop learning. It aligns perfectly with the values of City Montessori School — ‘Celebrating Success and Excellence’ in every dimension of life. It mirrors CMS’s vision of nurturing ‘global citizens’ who remain deeply rooted in Indian culture yet soar across the horizons of success.
And now, as we honor the remarkable journey of Shubhanshu Shukla — an illustrious alumnus of CMS who has secured his place in NASA’s prestigious AXIOM-4 (AX-4) space mission — ‘Vyomotsav’ finds its true voice. His story is not just one of individual success; it is a beacon of inspiration for all of us, reminding us that with courage, dedication, and vision, we too can rise from the soil of our homeland to swim across the cosmos.
Through ‘Vyomotsav’, we celebrate not just one shining star, but the eternal spirit of dreaming, striving, and achieving that defines us as the CMS family.”
