These sessions were about something what we already know yet we tend to ignore them. Every task, every example and every situation felt so real. Many a times the the sharing got emotional but still everyone was equally engaged and spoke their hearts out. Learnt so much. Hope to remember all the important points when they are actually needed.
This was a very different experience as it was first life class. We get to learn many things, and the facilitators had indeed planned it very interactive and interesting.
The workshop was a great reminder of the importance of proactive decision making, setting clear goals, prioritizing our time and activities, seeking mutual understanding and benefit in relationships, working effectively with others, taking care of ourselves, and continuously growing and improving. I feel inspired to put these habits into practice and see the positive impact they can have in my life.
The session was very good and effective for me and both facilitator are very amazing they both shared your personal experiences with us . I have learned so many valuable things in your class. It’s very helpful to our day to day life.I am really admire your work and effort. Thank you and keep smiling always!!
In life class sessions, I learnt about the importance of love, forms it can be expressed in and different principles that need to be followed for a successful marriage, which includes but are not limited to commitment to love, Equality in marriage, Forgiveness in love, etc.
Marriage have different mental stages and one needs to fulfill all of them to demonstrate Unconditioned love, which only happens when enough time has been spent with your love partner.
The sessions were well planned with relevant activities. Got to know a lot of different perspectives, which helped widen the knowledge base.
Things that we learned in the life + love class was really eye opening for me from 7 habits to talking about death. From bonding with other colleagues to playing games with them. I learned different forms of love and things that I am not doing correctly. With all the learnings I got I think there could’ve been more activities showing those real life situations where we can applied this and some mindful meditation sessions could have been done before starting the day.
I really thoroughly enjoyed and had an amazing time as these life classes gave a boost of energy to implement the crucial points not only in professional life but in personal life as well. All the videos and learnings in the life classes are actually very practical rather than just going through the bookish materials. I would sincerely like to thank my both facilitators Ms. Chaahat and Ms. Yasmin for such a wonderful first life class experience at fountainhead school. Looking forward for next year’s life class too.
I really liked the life classes, as I enjoyed learning about the 7 habits, which we can inculcate in our lives to make ourself the best of us, also about the love class I enjoyed how different movies were related to explain about love and relationships, I liked how we all bonded together in this life classes which we are taking with us for a life time, I am really glad that such Sessions are done so that we can enjoy and make ourselves better! Thank You so much! – Hatim.
The first ever reaction that comes to anyone on listening to chocolate is pleasure and comfort. It makes the world go round. It is the ultimate happiness that anyone can savour. We would all agree that everything is good if it is made of chocolate. Most of us would relate chocolate as a way to deal with feelings instead of to satisfy hunger.
We were all super-excited when we learnt that we were going to learn about chocolate. And this is the first thing that we got to read.
Imagine our disbelief when we learnt that our delicious chocolate has been termed as something that is suited for the consumption of pigs! And then we learnt that what we read was one of the first detailed accounts of the original chocolate that comes from the History of the New World (1564) by the Milanese Girolamo Benzoni, who travelled in Central America.
So the story goes like this. In the early days, before the 16th century, chocolate wasn’t this creamy, rich, sweet, sensuous, soft, decadent and super addictive food that we know of. It was extremely bitter, gruelly, coarse, crumbly and too heavy to eat. More than a treat, it was a treatment, used as a medicine or fed to soldiers as an instant energizer to prepare them for war.
It is only through the human desire to improvise, innovate and derive pleasure that we got the chocolate that we know. It is a great example of human ingenuity in action.
So if you were born before the 16th century, your experience with chocolate would have been very different. So different that if you time travelled and reached this day in Switzerland and tasted chocolate, chances are you wouldn’t be able to make any association of one with the other.
And this is the short video about the history and evolution of chocolate that we watched,

Chocolate has been known and loved for many centuries, not only as food but also as medicine. The process of how chocolate is created right from the cocoa beans that grow inside the pods of the cacao trees that are native to central South America to the bars that we relish was worth learning.
So the next time you find yourself craving some chocolate, don’t dismiss it as simply craving for a sweet treat. It could be an important signal that your heart is in need of love. Give in to the desire and buy yourself a big bar.
