Mount Abu freezes at -1.5 Degrees.


Mount Abu Freezes at -1.5 degrees Celsius in a Winter Wonderland.
As winter blankets several areas of the world, Mount Abu, the charming hill resort tucked in Rajasthan's Aravalli Range, recently saw an incredible freeze. The air was bitterly cold as temperatures dropped to -1.5 degrees Celsius, changing the peaceful environment into an amazing winter wonderland. This freeze usually occurs when Missouri and Kasauli in the north receive considerable snowfall, causing chilly draughts to rush down to Rajasthan.
On the morning of December 16, 2014, Mount Abu locals awoke to a breathtaking sight. The frigid weather caused the hill station of Mount Abu, known as the Abode of Gods, to be wrapped in a beautiful white blanket. The temperature had dropped to -1.5 degrees Celsius, leaving a frosty path on fields, scooters, and automobiles. They ornamented small bodies of water with fractured ice, showing the intensity of the cold weather.
The freezing temperatures took their toll on the local flora, with attractive plants and specific types succumbing to the chill. Some will never regain their previous energy, providing a sharp reminder of how harsh winter can be at these elevations. The frozen landscape's fine features exhibited the aftermath of the frost, creating a strange ambience.
Photographers eager to capture Mount Abu's unearthly brilliance in its frozen splendour grabbed the chance. The photographs from December 16, 2014, depict the landscape's magical transformation into a winter wonderland. Each shot, from frost-kissed trees to snow-draped plains, tells a tale about nature's raw force and its capacity to transform everyday scenes into something amazing.
It is important to understand that Mount Abu always endures cold temperatures during the winter. According to recent estimates, the temperature in the early morning hours might reach -1 degrees Celsius on certain nights. Tourists contemplating a trip to this picturesque hill station should bring their woollies and gloves since the nights and early mornings remain frozen in time.
Mount Abu's battle with freezing temperatures on December 16, 2014, shows the unpredictability of winter in these elevated terrains. The frozen beauty made a lasting imprint on all who observed it and stands as an enthralling chapter in the ever-changing saga of Mount Abu's natural splendour. Those considering a winter vacation to this hill station should be prepared to enter a realm where nature transforms into a stunning show, freezing time itself.

St Mary’s High School


St. Mary’s was formerly known as Mount Abu Railway School (MARS). Mr Blood, Engineer in Chief of the B.B.& C.I Railway designed the School. The first headteacher was Rev. A.J. Clarkson. On July 2, 1887, the school started. Problems with enrollment affected the school drop to 30. The Government of India closed it and offered it to the Bishop of Ajmer. In 1929, the Christian Brothers took over the school and renamed it St. Mary’s. The school is about 4km from the town, surrounded by jungle. This location away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life offers students a calm and peaceful environment. The school has grown over time, now offering a full refectory with wholesome food for students' sporting activities. The school has six football pitches, three volleyball courts, and four basketball courts, it also has a swimming pool.
Education now begins from grade three and ends at grade twelve with a centralized ICSE board exam. Most of the boarding students come from the Catholic community from all parts of the country. Almost 50% of the other students are day scholars, a few local ones and the rest from private hostels that operate here in Mount Abu.

The 2014 FIFA WORLD CUP fever has it's following here in this abode of the gods. Quite a few of us here are crazy over the game, and the one of whom I've penned a few lines is also a lover of football. He gave me a short poem in my mail the day before and I'm sure footer fans will appreciate his poem.


AFTER THE FALL OF THE TITAN

No one can take a hero’s place

No one can lift a hero’s mace

No one can match a hero’s pace


Then how could one ever imagine

Not to feel the dudgeon

After being bludgeon


After the fall of the titan

Squeezed like a python

Throttled and tightened


And it was not David

That made them feel livid

To be accused to be timid


Like a lion they had roared

All along the victory road

Till some one mowed


Losing all that they did hone

After breaking of their back bone

The world could hear only their moan!
