“World Within Words” Exhibition Brings Books to Life at AHS Boys

Shimla, August 25 – Auckland House School for Boys hosted its Annual Exhibition “World Within Words”, which turned into an extraordinary celebration of literature, creativity, and imagination. Far from being a routine exhibition, the event transported visitors into a wonderland where stories, characters, and ideas came alive.

Students enthralled audiences with enactments of timeless tales like The Thirsty Crow, Humpty Dumpty, King Midas’ Golden Touch, Alice in Wonderland, and Gulliver’s Travels. A puppet show on Tenalirama showcased wit and wisdom, while adaptations of Malgudi Days highlighted how screen versions bring literature closer to the masses. Comic strips inspired by Harry Potter, acts from The Diary of a Young Girl and Letters from War, and mythological characters such as Medusa added depth, addressing themes of humanity, existentialism, and the futility of conflict. Secene from Ramyan’s Ashok Vatika was also enacted bringing students close to the roots.

The dioramas on display captivated everyone, drawing admiration for their detailing and imaginative presentation. They served as visual gateways into different literary worlds, making the connection between books and imagination even more profound.

The exhibition also featured interactive segments like the Puzzle Corner, Story Sequence Challenge, and Author-Work Match, ensuring that learning and fun went hand in hand.

Chief Guest Shri S.N. Joshi lauded the efforts of the students and teachers, describing the exhibition as “a journey into a wonderland of imagination and not just a regular display.”

Adding to the collaborative spirit, other schools from Shimla including Loreto Convent, Laureate Public School, Students of St. Bede’s College also visited the exhibition, making the event an enriching exchange of creativity and ideas among young learners.
