From Principal’s Desk
The most important step we can take toward achiev-
ing our greatest potential in life is to learn to monitor
our attitude and its impact on our work performance,
relationships and everyone around us.
We all have a choice. We can choose an inner dia-
logue of self-encouragement, self-motivation, or we
can choose one of self-defeat and self-pity. It’s a
power we all have.
Our mind is a computer that can be programmed. We
can choose whether the software installed is produc-
tive or unproductive.
attitude, which determines how we present ourselves
to the world around us. We have control over the
programming. Whatever we put into it is reflected in
what comes out.
programmed into our brains at a very tender age. The
sad reality of life is that we continue to hear negative
information, but we don’t have to program it into our
brains.
The most influential voice we hear is our own inner
voice, our selfcritic. It can work for or against us, de-
pending on the messages we allow.
It can be optimistic or pessimistic. It can wear us
down or cheer us on. We control the sender and the
receiver, but only if we consciously take responsibil-
ity for and control over our inner conversation.
Habitual bad attitudes are often the product of past
experiences and events. Common causes include low
self-esteem, stress, fear, resentment, anger and an ina-
bility to handle change.
It takes serious work to examine the roots of a harm-
ful attitude, but the rewards of ridding ourselves of this
heavy baggage can last a lifetime.
School Magazine is a wonderful platform for students to
showcase their talents of creativity, writing, ideating, etc. I
appreciate the efforts of all the budding writers and artists
for making this magazine vibrant. I thank the entire Editori-
al Team for their good work and support. God bless you all.

This is a time of massive changes.in every sector. The stu-
dent today is an individual, is a real person with feelings of
self-respect, sensitivity, responsibility and compassion. We
need to recognize, appreciate, applaud and foster the fine
blend of sensibilities in a child – and thus this is to be
viewed as a launch pad for the children’s creative urges to
blossom naturally.
humble initiative is to set the budding minds free allowing
them to roam free in the realm of imagination and experi-
ence to create a world of beauty in words.
This school attains its eminence in the first place through
the achievement of children. This magazine also espouses
the School spirit which is built up within the school through
the collective actions, thoughts and aspirations. All these,
I believe would spur higher growth and enterprise in chil-
dren.
students and teachers to have been of immense help in
breathing life into these pages.
Hope the readers will enjoy every word of it and applaud
the efforts put into its making Happy viewing and Reading
Editor
“Micro changes in Life can bring Macro Transformation.”
Children should be taught to think . We should help them to unfold their imaginations and give life to
their thoughts & aspirations. The Hands on Learning Activities done in class will unleash a wide
spectrum of creative skills. This I believe is the strongest factor for success in raising his self esteem
& the most overwhelming key to a child’s success is the attitude by parents by giving the space to the
child and not comparing them to others. “The secret of getting ahead is getting started.” So why not
give them a jumpstart from the grass root level itself.
We are pleased to present to you , our E-Magazine .It is a milestone that marks our growth, unfolds
children’ s imagination to foster a positive learning Environment. Let’s give them a platform to
think , express &exhibit their skills.
I congratulate the editorial team for their hard work in releasing this E magazine
Happy Reading…..

“ What you are is God’s gift to you. What you become is your gift to God “
Language is one of God’s greatest gift to humans, given for the purpose of sharing ideas with others.
Without leaving our chairs we can go to all parts of the world. We mediate on the wonders of creation.
But without the gift of language we would be limited in the ways we can share these ideas. Words help
us let others know what we are feeling, how much we care or how our hearts are filled with awe and
wonder and gratitude to God for all He has given us.
Our School magazine is a mirror reflecting the creativity of young minds of the school. I extend my
warm wishes to continue this journey on the road of excellence. May God Bless us with wisdom.
Ruby Verghese
Sr. Coordinator
The school proudly presents its unique creation in the form of the E magazine which serves as a plat-
form to highlight the literary and artistic segment of NHPS family forming a bridge between flowing
thoughts and artistic magnification. The magazine also highlights the educational ,cultural and sports
activities of the institute.
Students articles have been instrumental in reflecting their literary spirits and ideals.
I appreciate the daunting efforts put in by the team to put together the myriad thoughts into a visual
fest. I wish them success for its timely release.

A shadow side in me - Sunit Dighe VIII-A
Your life is in your hands. How to solve your life with
ease? That's always a big question in a puzzled mind.
Synchronizing the answer is always necessary . Elabo-
ration the next ,first let's understand why you get a
human life hereditarily. Until and unless you have
solved the Rubik's cube of your life with cases truly
hard then you are fulfill to get handout of the running
notes written by your mind for a total 70 years. That's
not a small value! It's 70×12=..etc..
Now what's a shadow side of your life. It's none other
than your emotions. Answer to the shadow side of
your life in emotions is depression. Not going beyond
and deeper in depression. But those who don't know
what is depression :-It is the state in which your mind
losses thinking , will power and confidence for find-
ing no way in taking the right path for the solution.
Depresion acts in making your life a
bit difficult. Mind makes all unneces-
sary savages which have a result 0.
See the matchmaking here, the villain
depression has no hero to be defeated. You yourself
are a hero but you sometimes fail to take control over
depression. So here, motivation plays a extravagant
role.
How to solve your life with ease? That was our ques-
tion in the start. Life isn't easy but definitely you can
decide your life. Have a success it's good , defeating
all sort of gratuitous emotions is better and thinking
optimistically is best. Like with what the quote moti-
vates“only when you illuminate others...without ex-
pectation or reward...will you truly understand how to
illuminate yourself” only remember don't let you sink
your mind sink and your foolish but previous life to
sink in the deep disarrayed water .
The destiny in my hands - Aaryan Aggarwal IX-B
Destiny. The word means the inevitable fate or some
events that will necessarily happen to some person in
the future. It is however, a notion and not a proven
fact, as obviously no one can see the future. People
believe that what destiny says is the ultimate truth and
absolutely nothing can change it. However, I beg to
differ as while it may be inevitable, it will not neces-
sarily be completely unchangeable. To give an exam-
ple, a person born into a poor family, may believe that
his destiny is poverty and nothing else.
However, with enough efforts and determination, he/
she may grow up to be very successful. This has led
me to believe that destiny is not any actual power or
anything that can affect our future. Rather, it is a state
of mind that sometimes may lead to demotivation.
This happens because success has never come without
failures. In failures, we tend to lose
positivity and start becoming nega-
tive and their mindset towards life all
-in-all becomes negative. This is
where we begin to believe that this is what destiny had
in store for us and this is exactly what we are going to
get. With this preconceived notion, people often lose
interest or even give up entirely. However, since desti-
ny is a figment of a person’s mind, it can be modified
as and when required.
Thus, believing in destiny and hoping that the hard-
ships that you have faced are all part of a bigger plan
will give you the motivation to do better and improve.
Thus, I believe that destiny, while not being real to
some extent can change the course of a person’s life.
Destiny is not unchangeable, the power to do so lies in
your very hands.
Savior of all Nikita V IX– A
Our country is safe,
The tri-colour will glare,
Because you are there.
Our country we share,
Bravery in your fights
The almighty soldiers,
will always be proud of your story .
Self Confidence
Self Confidence is an attitude that allows you to move
forward and achieve your goals. Self confidence
means believing in yourself. It is an ability that makes
the human believe in himself. For example, Tim was a
boy who had a stage fear. One day he was selected for
the assembly as a reporter. On the day of assembly,
Tim was very scared to go on the stage. Then he
thought about Self confidence. Long ago his mother
said him that if a person has Self confidence, he can
cross away all the difficulties in his life. So at that
time, Tim forgot all the fear and became a self confi-
dent boy.
other positives like positive thinking, concentration,
good manners, being kind etc. Like Theodore Roose-
velt said “Each time we face fear, we gain strength,
courage and confidence in the doing”. I will conclude
my article with this quote, “Believe in yourself and
you will be unstoppable”.
But to draw proper shape I need a stencil.
I was using a pencil to write a phrase,
I wrote it wrong, then the teacher said “Erase! Erase!”
I lost my pencil,
With that pencil I drew a triangle and a rectangle,
But I was not able to find its angle.
In English I had to complete punctuation marks,
With help of that pencil , James drew many sharks.
In science there was a chemical blast,
My teacher said “pencil’s life is very vast”.
Once more I lost my pencil,
It was stuck in my hair.
Once again i lost my pencil,
But this time it was lost in a fair..
Tara's intelligence
- Pritika Manohar kadam VIII –D
Once upon a time there lived a couple near the town.
They were just married and expected a child. After a
year they had twins. Both were charming. Their
names were Yash and Tara.
Tara was expected to do the household work and
Yash was to go to school and do a job. Tara was an
very intelligent girl so she used to take her brother's
old books and study on her own.
One fine day she asked her brother " Why every time
I have to do the household work and not study like
you ?"Her brother asked many people but got a com-
mon answer that girls are not meant to study .
So both of them decided to ask their father . He gave a
confusing answer that if Tara wants to go to school , I
can help her to learn and write but which school will
give her admission? I can't fight for one girl .
She understood what he meant so Tara had an idea
about that. She gathered her friends and told them the
importance of education .
went to her father and said you
won't help one girl (me) so can
you help us to study. Her father was impressed by her
intelligence.He took them to the principal who was
his friend and requested him several times about the
admission of the girls.
At last one day he agreed to take the admission of
those girls. They started going to school everyday .
The problem was all the people were frustrated . They
used to throw garbage near their house and also say
abusing words . Also stop the ways of the girls for
going to school .
They also took the house of Tara and Yash . They
used to live in a hut with those girls as well.
The people used to throw stones on them . The girls
did not lose their hopes and studied hard . All those
after many years started working in office .
The people were proud afterwards and they started a
girls school . They gave back house of Yash and Tara.
The ordeal to say a ‘goodbye’
-Nidhi Mishra VIII-G
Together we laughed
Together we wept,
We didn’t bother about others,
We chuckled like crazy
Together we were scintillating
We were engrossed in,
Our cackles were uplifting
That gloominess was undesirable
Our parting was lamentable
Our disunion was forthcoming
With those yet, we had to split.
Years had flown by
‘goodbye’
And to lose a loyal oppo.
My dream House!!
-Harshith Nair IX-B
Now can’t get over the whoaas and wowws!!
Ancient doors and artefacts with a palatial tinge,
Enter ..... and you would feel you’ve got wings.
Vintage artefacts and interiors add to the glam
quotient,
era that’s ancient.
To me and my brother’s surprise, there’s an excit-
ing bunk bed,
Now who sleeps on the top, there’s gonna be a
bloodshed.
I hate boasting .... but this one’s the icing on the
cake,
Let me tell you friends, this was a dream, all
fake !!!
Friendship
Sometimes leaves us cold and forlorn,
and sometimes gives us the power to go on.
We mistake it often for something materializing,
but it’s free and artistic,
It is hard to catch,
no other virtue has its match.
Indomitable Earth - Poorvi Sanu IX –G
Our global crisis has created a cure
No , A treatment for what is in the store
New seasons simmer , shorelines bore .
Plastics not fake , its sweet
Everlasting, a love we adore .
Are you sure ?
Wild material machine . Unseen .
What can I do ?
It takes more than
one . It takes society
Globally to do what
needs to be done .
Our footprint is mas-
It’s worth the attempt to help her adorn
To help her heal her sores , prevent more welts.
Travelling via train -Aditya Patil VIII-E
Travelling is a prominent and a fun-learning activity of
our life. It introduces us to new people, their culture
and enhances skills that are essential in our lives.
Travelling gives a wonderful experience to the travel-
ers especially by train. I am being so sight to write the
essay ‘cause guess what, “I AM TRAVELLING IN
THE BUMPY TRAIN”, hearing the quarrels for seats
with the bumps of the train.
Train to me is the most favourite mode of transport for
long journeys. I am sure even others love travelling via
train inspite of the long journey and time. But if its
with families or with bachelor friends there’s no one
stopping them from being happy. During travelling we
also get familiar to stops during the journey where
people get off and enter. This introduces us to the cul-
ture of those regions
India famous and legend-
those India-famous snacks
from all over India like ‘Shehgaon kachori’, ‘ Kol-
hapuri misal’ and I would stop here or else I know
your mouth is watering and you wanna eat this.
This is what travelling is. It increases our general
knowledge as we get across so many new things. Trav-
elling by train is much more affordable than aero-
planes ; where we just have to sit and enjoy the luxury.
Travelling will also introduce you to all kinds of peo-
ple like the innocent ones, the fighters, the caring ones
who surrender themselves for you and sometimes the
people you know. So to enjoy these beautiful moments
of life travel once or twice a year to refresh your-
selves.
Controlling yourself is something great that you have
achieved in your whole life. Controlling a particular
thing with which you get addicted is a big thing. Dur-
ing puberty, children get addicted to various bad things
such as food, mobile, T.V. or maybe food.
“Control Yourself Kid!!!!”, “Done, not more than
this!!!”, “Control!!!!” such types of sentences maybe
familiar to you which must be said by your mom, dad,
teachers and your elders. But that’s exactly true, what
they say. I know that it’s difficult to leave a particular
thing with which you get addicted. But still if you
leave it , certainly this can make an impact in your life.
I mean to say that leave only bad things and not the
good things like reading or studying. Believe it, every-
thing is possible in this whole world. If Neil Arm-
strong can go to moon then why cannot you leave your
bad habit. Lets take an example, a
boy who likes to eat a lot, he may
like to eat Chinese, Continental,
Asian and whatever. But you must
take care of your fitness too. We can
eat whatever we want but in a limit.
If you start practicing such good practices you can
surely be the one who has changed his whole life to a
certain life.
last my opinions may have some differences but, eve-
ryday we get to learn something from our daily experi-
ences. And I truly believe that if we make a decision
and start opting it in our daily life we can surely our-
selves make a change in our whole life. At last I con-
vey that you need to control yourself and follow this
motto in your life……..Control Yourself & Be the
Change

Nature
Just look around yourself
Even somewhere in your bookshelf.
The most surprising is nature,
It’s full of different stuff.
It can be a human or thing or even a creature.
We humans made strong big buildings,
And that’s what we think is great
But look deep in nature
You will find trees, plants and Animals everywhere.
Some may be mild, And some may be wild!
Mother nature provides us with our needs,
And still we use it for our greeds.
Let’s join hands together,
To save this marvelous creation,
For our next generation.
- Rihana Antony II - C
In 2011, my mom gave birth to a cute little girl and named her Rihana. After four years, in 2015, my mom
gave birth to one more child , my adorable sibling , Richelle. A few years passed and we grew up. My sister is
now three years and I am seven. Every noon and night we go to the garden and play. We leave for home when
our mother comes to pick us up from the garden. At 9 o’clock in the evening, we eat our dinner and go to
sleep.
Anger Management
Anger….The worst of emotions. It causes a LOT of
problems. Like damaged friendships, separated fami-
lies, to list a few. The list is long. But, as many people
have tried and failed, controlling anger can be impos-
sible at times when the little fuse in your brain blows
off. Let us discuss controlling anger today.
Basically, anger management seems and sounds im-
possible. But, as it turns out, it isn’t. It’s really simple.
To be honest, I am a cranky person. Even the slightest
bit of annoying thing or the face of an irritating person
blows my fuse off. So, well, yeah. I’m trying to get it
under control. Sort of.
fix an imaginary meter in your brain which indicates
anger level. My meter is always near 50-60. When I
say that I’m a cranky person, you can see that I mean
it!
As I was saying, the meter. Anytime you feel that the
meter is rising, just find some ways to control it. Like
the classic, “drink cool water to cool down your warm
head”, or breathe. Listen to your fav music. Or ask
yourself this simple question.
“Is getting angry at this person or screaming at them
going to improve my day in any way whatsoever”?
If the answer is yes, go ahead. Scream all that you
want at the person and improve your day. But if the
answer is no, STOP yourself in time. Maybe make
yourself an anger dice. Or, breathe in. Out. And may-
be the classic as mentioned above.
Frankly, these ways have helped me to reduce my
“fuse blowing off” times since grade 4. Anger may be
one of the smartest issues, but we are smarter!
You are a masterpiece - Tisha Gangar, VIII-A
There are songs in your eyes
Singing lullabies
That it charms in the whole city
There is dance in your smile
With moves in a pile
You make people laugh
There is a magical art
Right inside your heart
Painting pictures ,which create
breeze
Creativity is your strength
Friend
With your friend
Friend is the one
who makes your mood.
A true friendship is
higher than a tower.....
Have Patience -Ayush Lonakadi IX– C
Read to the end,
Because there’s something you don’t know,
Have patience, let the excitement grow.
I betcha, it’s a secret that’ll help you lifelong,
No, I am not joking nor am I wrong,
Wait for some time and you won’t regret your action,
Have patience, it isn’t a wrong decision.
Oh, are you bored of waiting?
I know it’s frustrating,
But you are really very close,
Have patience, the secret, now I
disclose.
mild,
Have patience, the door to the secret, now, is ajar.
Finally, now I’ll reveal the secret,
Read closely; all other works, please forget,
There you go, the moment you’ve awaited for,
One, two, three and then comes four!
Monsoon -Isha Bhanushali IX –A
The most alluring part in monsoon season is the way
people tackle them. Every where you scan, people are
struggling back to reach their home back safely and it
indeed gives you a sense of achievement when you
reach home without getting drained by the gushing
water the automobiles blow on you!Well, my case is a
little bit different. Every time I attempt not to step in-
side the puddle ,the next step will certainly be inside
it.
It was raining heavily that day and unlike my usual
days ,it was a special one. I got dispersed from my
classes by 6:00 and not aware about the conditions
outside , I stepped outside ,expecting my van to pick
me up. Suddenly there was gloomy all around and
there was silence everywhere (huh! Because the light
went off) and to add insult to injury I got a call from
my Sir that the van will be com-
ing 1 hour late.
mind, I will set out and go on
my own.I took my umbrella and set out with my
friend. The roads were all muddy and the water
reached up to my ankle. The situation got testified as
it started raining heavily. We all expected the rain to
stop after a while but it was adamant, throwing it's
tantrums on us .All over the road there were vehicles
parked and there was no way to move.
But not giving up we carried forward to reach our des-
tination. After a long tiring journey of 1km (which
took us almost 1hr) we reached our home safely. I had
a feeling of accomplishing a big feat that day.
But the climax is here,
I had to listen to my Mom's scolding,
Yes, because I had stepped inside a big puddle!
Soldier - Marisha Nath VIII-C
But people think it’s your job, not your passion!
You are a warrior,
You are our savior,
You are in the list of God’s golden fame,
But alas! No book mentions your name.
Man, Woman, and Equality Poorvi Sanu IX-G
Why are women considered inferior to men? Why is
it so? Even in the olden days, gender inequality was
very common.
etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.What do these words re-
mind you of? Yep. That’s right. These are all systems
for women.
for their better halves. So that their spouses have a
long and safe life. But what do these spouses do in
return? Discriminate these women. Consider them
inferior. I think that only about 15% of men give
equal opportunities and rights to women.
This number is increasing, no doubt, but then this is a
slow process.Men work approximately 6 – 8 hours a
day. Women, on the other hand, work at least 16
hours a day. Yet, men get salary and women, in some
cases, don’t.
To all the men and boys reading this, I have a few
questions for you.Do you have the guts to perform all
housework with 5 guests in the house? Do you have
enough courage to change your sur-
name after marriage? Do you have
the guts to leave your ancestral home
where you have lived for at least 23
years? Are you ready to be dominated
by women? More importantly, are you ready to listen
to pungent words from your mother-in-law? And of
course, do you guys have courage to bear a child for 9
months and 9 days and give birth and nurture the ba-
by?
Giving birth is simultaneous to fracturing 20 – 21
bones at once. Did men know this? And yet, they con-
sider women weak. They think, that because we’re
women, we cannot think.If we cannot think, who is
Marie Curie? If we are weak, who delivers kids?
Women aren’t any different. They are children of
gods. They aren’t your personal secretaries, they are
your partners.Only a woman knows how much suffer-
ing women go through. And yet, women are discrimi-
nated daily.
What women want is love and respect. They work
hard for it, they toil day and night, and what they get
is….absolutely nothing.
Is this right?
“Hey Mohan! When did you get this new iPhone-X”,
we asked him in surprise as we knew the financial
condition of his family. “My cousin gifted it to me”,
quipped Mohan sheepishly. All the boys resumed
playing, but I knew there was something amiss.Peer
pressure is becoming increasingly inevitable amongst
teenagers . One may argue that it is a part of human
nature. It may be pivotal for a human being but its
darker side is certainly the more powerful one.
People are easily succumbing to peer pressure without
realising its consequences. Just to gain respect in
someone’s eyes, they are even ready to quarrel with
their parents and ward their attention from their nec-
essary activities. A recent survey suggested that the
maximum people in a rave are a group of teenagers.
The clutches of peer pressure are so strong that people
aren’t being able to listen even to their conscience.
The youth mostly is just littering around the streets,
smoking cigarettes, boozing or becoming a victim to
social networks sites like Facebook or Instagram. Hu-
man resource is the most valuable resource that we
have and the youth are supposed to replenish this re-
source, not just to become egoists. The are the future
of the planet but sadly, they aren’t forging the path for
mankind that they are supposed to.
Hopefully, there is some resistance against this social
evil in modern days. Such people have sworn to stay
adamant and not stray from the rightful path. These
days of hope do believe in working for the greater
good and are spreading awareness and showing the
society that peer pressure is deleterious sort individual
growth and well being.
“Freedom of Press in Democracy”
- Poorvi Sanu IX-G
A free press and a free judiciary are two very important
cornerstones of a democracy. Especially in the modern
era of widely accessible news and innumerable infor-
mation at our fingertips, freedom of press is highly valued
liberty that citizens should be aware of and know the rea-
son why it is given to us as Indians. Freedom means those
people, who state the liberty, or right and privileged to
speak according to their will.
Freedom is that opportunity, which we should never avoid
and in all bad situations, it gives us all right to handle the
problems in our own innovative and thoughtful way. Press
and media are the vital way to express and speech some
views and opinions in a democratic country. It is the me-
dium of expressing an opinion of the people. It justifies
the individual right to speech and expression, a coveted
right enshrined in the Indian constitution and the law of
other countries on the globe.
The importance of freedom of press lies in the fact that
for most citizens the prospect of personal familiarity with
newsworthy events is unrealistic. In seeking out news, the
media therefore acts for the public in large. it is the means
by which people receive free flow of information and ide-
as, which is essential to intelligence self-governance, that
is in turn, democracy. For a proper functioning of democ-
racy, it is essential that
citizens are informed
ous parts of the coun-
try and even abroad, because only then can they form ra-
tional opinions. A citizen surely cannot be expected per-
sonally to gather news to enable him or her to form such
opinions. Hence, the media plays an important role in a
democracy and serves as an agency of the people to gath-
er news for them.
It is for this reason that freedom of press has been empha-
sised in all democratic countries, while it was not permit-
ted in feudal or totalitarian regimes.
In India, the media have a great responsibility also to see
that the news they present is accurate and serve the inter-
est of the people. If the media convey false news that may
harm the reputation of a person or a section of society, it
may do a great damage since reputation is a valuable asset
for a person.
carefully reporting it.
I know of a case were the photograph of a High Court
judge, who was known to be upright ,was shown on a TV
channel along with that of a known criminal .The alle-
gation against the judge was that he had acquired the
land not in any discretionary quota but in the open
market at the market price.Also, sometimes the media
present twisted or distorted news that may contain an
element of truth but also an element of untruth. This,
too, should be avoided because a half-truth can be
more dangerous than a total lie. The media should
avoid giving any slant to news and avoid sensational-
ism and yellow journalism. Only then will they gain
the respect of the people and fulfil their true role in a
democracy.Some newspapers espouse the cause of
only one community
view problems from a communal angle. Such newspa-
pers do disservice to the nation. On the other hand,
some responsible newspapers exercise great restraint
while reporting news about riots between two commu-
nities. They never give the identity of the community
which started the riot. If there are any casualties, they
do not give a community-wise break up lest this
should trigger off a bigger riot
In India, most of the newspapers are controlled by
business magnates Such newspapers, therefore, pro-
mote the interest of the capitalists by given tainted
news. They pay no heed even to the genuine prob-
lems of the worker^ farmers, artisans and other
weaker sections of the people.
The press is the defender and the protector of the
rights and liberties of the people. But it can per-
form this role only if it enjoys freedom in publish-
ing news, views and reporting. It can function ef-
fectively only in an open society, where decisions are
made in a democratic manner. The press should not be
scared of influential people. The press should consider
it their duty to protect the right of the workers and oth-
er downtrodden sections of the people.
While the press should enjoy freedom to perform its
role effectively, it should not treat such freedom as a
licence to defame anybody. It should not publish any
views or support any movement which violates our
Constitution or is against the territorial integrity and
unity of the country.
To the conclusion, As the world’s largest democracy,
India has a duty to ensure that the press has the duty to
disseminate information and express opinions without
excessive censorship. Unfortunately, in recent years,
the right has been increasingly curbed. This oppres-
sion of press is an alarming trend as it does not allow
for proper checks and balances on the government and
its activities. The people of our country need to re-
member that in order to have a strong democracy they
need a strong and free press.
Our Future Earth
- Hiya Purswani VIII-B
around us. Inspite of advanced and modern technolo-
gy, we humans, are still not able to find a solution.
Early humans neither they had much technology nor
they had enough intelligence but still in the early ages,
the environment was clean making it the reason for
the increasing life span of humans. It's a shocking
news to know that the amount of plastic bottles pro-
duced now may lead to increase in plastic pollution
and cause several death.
It's a great opportunity to be as a human in this beauti-
ful earth, and so it’s our responsibility to make it
clean. In monsoon, people cut down trees to prevent
accidents to occur, but do we plant trees in summer to
prevent more global warming? We can prevent bad
things to happen but not cannot take that much efforts
for good things to spread. Have you ever wondered
while seeing a tap open, how many taps are left open
at the same time in the whole world? It might sound
unbelievable, there can be a World War III on water,
land and fresh air. The way we are thinking about the
wastage of water may lead us to a massive pain. I t’s
truly said by Warren Buffet, sometimes to buy things
we need we have to sell things we do not need. This
happens in the case of lacking of intelligence. We say
every scholar is a true genius, but in my opinion a per-
son is genius if he has the ability to save and change
things in his own way. We all have the ability to save
this earth, but our thoughts, our ego and our greedi-
ness is stopping us to think in a better way. ”Everyone
has a good and a bad side in his life. What matters is
the part we choose to act upon. ”This is an excellent
thought said by Sirius Black in the movie Harry Pot-
ter. It’s time to bring a change.
We always have time to do good things, all we need is
hope. Spreading awareness is the best idea to bring a
change. If everyone stops thinking about their eco-
nomical needs and start contributing towards the envi-
ronment by planting more trees, certainly there will be
a beneficial change in this world. Neither do we think
about the future, nor care about the present. Why not
be an optimist and think in a positive way of life? Our
studies, our needs, our knowledge will not help us in
any way if we don’t change. Its not that easy to plant a
tree and care for it a whole year, but if we only plant it
with all our love, nature is certainly going to care for
it. Lastly, I would like to end with a quote "Come
forth in the light of things, nature will be your teach-
er."
Endeavor
but good thoughts are forever.
Remember the step you took,
May it be stupid or clever.
Though the time runs out,
your hope should never.
Do your best even if the conse-
quences make your work the worst.
Try and try, and make your work better
It is hard to recall the past,
but good thoughts are forever.
Remember the step you took, maybe stupid or clever.
The Aloof Humans - A curse to mother
earth - Vaijayanthimala Navneet VIII-J
Preserving nature is must,
Let’s do something to save her;
Something new and creative’
Let clean air sweep
Both high and deep
Be clean, tidy and neat
Let uncontaminated water be
end like the sea
Let the tree stand
‘Cause it is more alluring than the seven colour band
Without being loquacious
The Little girl
- Bhumika Sharma VI-F
Near the carriage,
Which were very small in size,
And had beautiful hair with a cute little curl.
I wonder why she was there,
And she came from…where?
I then asked a person, passing on the road,
If he knew the merciless who
kept her near the horses and
toads.
O Madam?…
dad and mum.
But I saved her, lest she died.
Who will save many such girls?
Imagine a world without these pearls.
Treat them with respect and love,
The Little Guest - Ashwathy Ganesh VI –D
It was rainy season
It made its nest and was a pest
But there came another guest
Who shooed away the little pest
First there was nothing but a basket of twigs
And I watched it eating figs
When the thunder came with the rain
I got a bit scared
But it didn’t fly away
Because I took care
eggs
The bird is easy to guess
Because it doesn’t make a mess
With its red tail
Between the plants green full full
Was the nest of the little Bulbul

- Abhishek Singh [Teacher, Sr.Secondary]
subtle, many times, we are forced to take wrong
means for right means(and ends us like Arjuna in hell)
or reaches wrong ends following right means(like
Yudhishthira in exile).It's like the Ying and Yang
Duryodhana’s envy for the Pandva’s Indraprastha and
Yudhishthira’s greed, or addiction, to a game of dice
and win more territory was the main cause of war.
The envy can result in healthy competitiveness raising
oneself up by making the envious work harder, for
rival’s possessions, or eternal sickness to pull the rival
down.The envy and greed are both presents even in
the
capitalist system is stranded by greed. The aim of so-
ciety should not be to suppress these feelings among
its citizens but to channelize them productively. Envy
is the vice of socialism, Greed is the evil of capital-
ism.
stronger legal laws can prefer justice over peace, the
newly created or war-torn nations with weaker legal
laws should prefer to restore peace and harmony in
society rather than emphasizing justice.
Beware! You are in for a scare!
- Ayush Lonakadi IX-C
I had returned home late but after reaching home I had
wished I had not reached home that day. There was no
electricity, which just made it creepier. When I
reached my room, my exhaustion made me forget that
I was famished. I lay on the bed scrolling down pic-
tures I had recently clicked. I relived happy moments
but someone out there wasn’t happy to see me happy
and I noticed a photograph in my phone which be-
mused me – not mentioning how frightened I had be-
come.
ground was of my house. In the photo........I was
sleeping! But...but... how could that have been possi-
ble? I lived alone; there was no one to click my photo
while I was sleeping. I was petrified with my eyes
wide open and my whole body was horror-struck.
Then, all the unwanted noises came into focus – the
noises from outside, noises of something creaking and
the wind forcefully blowing through the thin slit of the
window eerily.
the table beside and did
not bother about changing my clothes and covered my
face with a blanket and hugged it tightly. I could not
even think of sleeping. Every second the clock ticked,
I hugged the blanket harder. My face and chest were
drenched in sweat. I felt some supernatural move-
ments around me; something trying to reach out to
me.
By then, I was praying to God to take me away from
that place; I was ready to die. Then, something hap-
pened and I became frantic from tip to toe. ‘It is Tues-
day today.’ The virtual assistant of my phone said but
I clearly remembered that I had switched off my
phone. Who asked the question? It was this trauma
that I couldn’t bear and today, I am here, telling you
this story after turning into a roaming soul. Look to
your right, I am right beside you.
Travelling Aaryan Aggarwal IX - B
Travelling is an experience. It doesn’t matter where
you travel. Every place is great in its own ways. You
could go to a culturally rich yet underdeveloped place
or you could go to an advanced metropolitan place.
You could travel slow paced or you could be adven-
turous and go off the beaten path. You could go to the
beach, you could go to a museum. It won’t matter as
wherever you go, you will always get a new and
different experience. The experiences will open your
mind to a whole new world and culture which will
change your understanding and preconceived notions
about that place. You will also get an opportunity to
detoxify yourself from social media. Thus, I believe
that travelling is more than just a hobby and can
change your entire thought process and state of
mind.
Wallflower
More by force than by will
She lived there so long
She had nothing to fight with
All these people, pushing her down
Her feeble frame could fight no long
She vowed to never stop the struggle
Until she had on her temples the crown
Declaring to the world her change
after years bygone
As she withered , her dreams fading
Cause promises are sometimes left undone
When fate decides to yield a gun
And the world never saw the light
Of a wallflower wishing to shine so bright
Being Myself -Nidhi Mishra VIII-G
I did never lie to myself
Never strived to be someone else,
And so I never shy
To look myself straight in the eye.
I did never hide myself
And lavish a priceless gift,
Having ‘life’ as its spell
Being myself, I’ll uplift.
Life is too short
A onetime offer we have got
Even more precious than a thousand jewels.
Women Empowerment - Devangi Dongre VII-B
The abilities of women in making decisions, educa-
tion, and profession have been largely suppressed
since ages, considering them inferior to men. The sit-
uation is worst in underdeveloped and developing na-
tions where women in a family are not allowed to
take financial decisions or decide on matters regard-
ing their own education.With such state of affairs, it
would be a fallacy to dream about the goals of sus-
tainable development and gender equality. There is an
instant need to take measures to lift the social,
personal and professional
Providing better education and employment opportu-
nities to women, ensuring their better health, provid-
ing justice and ensuring professional equivalence, are
the few methods of women empowerment.

LunaVenture: Beyond Horizons
- Aaryan Aggarwal, IX-B
He looked from afar at his towering creation. A re-
mote island in the Pacific Ocean seemed like a great
refuge after what had been happening on the Earth.
He chose secrecy as his mission had raised many eye-
brows. The plan was simple, ‘Escape and start over’.
Right now, Moon seemed to be the most viable option
in terms of survival. The research had been done,
Moon was habitable. So close to our abode, our cos-
mic neighbor, the Moon, must exist for a reason. It-
will not just be a secondary habitat but also be a step-
ping stone for further progress.
His meticulously crafted plan was now just minutes
away from execution. A team of four explorers would
first leave Earth and explore the Moon to test his hy-
pothesis. Once a temporary col-
ony using genetically engi-
neered pods containing human
further analyze the surroundings and find ways to
make it more habitable. The lesser gravitational pull,
which allowed for a comparatively lower escape ve-
locity made it easier to transport resources from the
Earth or the ISS. Sure, it would be difficult at first,
Earth is unmatched, but he knew it was for the greater
good of mankind. It would mean more opportunities
and help us understand our place in this universe.
Right now, we have confined ourselves in a box and
this is the only way to leave it and unleash the won-
ders of the universe. In front of his eyes, it flew, never
to come back...
Make the Choice
-Nidhi Mishra VIII-G
Accepting the outcome, never blame.
To impulse refer those achieves
It’s your resolve, don’t quit,
There wasn’t any lose that grieves
There was just a lesson in it.
I turn down to immure oneself
In the decision of mine,
I possess optimism in myself
And so I believe everything
will be fine.
To perceive ones way to success
A dose of victory isn’t enough
It’s always limitless!
Television: Pros and Cons
- Soumya Sheth VIII-I
What do most of the people do these days to entertain
themselves?Everyone likes to switch ON their televi-
sion sets, which is one of the exceptional inventions of
science. When our Dads come home tired after office,
the first thing they would like to do is, switch On the
TV and relax while watching it from his sofa seat.
This is because while watching different things that
are broadcasted on TV, we forget our worries and re-
grets of the day.
evision also has its set of some worrying habits that
people get hitched to. For example, sometimes kids
watch it for extensive time, thereby affecting their
studies. This is one of the most worrying habit for par-
ents and we should know that ignoring studies is not
good for our future and studying is as much important
for us at this tender age more than anything else.It’s
true that television can bring us the knowledge from
across the world. We can see different parts of the
world virtually sitting at the same place. But, we
should know how we
can use this incredible
ficial way for us. Now-a-days, Smart TVs have be-
come even more popular. We can even use internet on
those TVs. Use Google to search for answers we don’t
know, use YouTube to understand how things are
made or get our doubts cleared and much much more.
To summarize it, I would like to urge all my fellow
students to use this precious invention of science in a
way that will benefit you to gain constructive
knowledge and avoid destructive knowledge. We
should know that television is not the world but only a
small component of this world. Please know that there
are other things in life which we should enjoy too
along with giving utmost importance to our studies.
The night before the final examination
-Marisha Nath VIII- C
might have appeared to Napoleon or the Duke of Wel-
lington. Our system of education being what it is, we
examinees are bound to be anxious about the nature of
the nature of the questions we will have to answer
next day. Even an earnest student who has done all
that needs be done by way of nervousness, uncertainty
and suspense on the night before the examination. The
morning of the examination finds them prostate with
nervous disorder.
But this is one side the picture. There are students
who may be described as soldiers of fortune. They are
daredevil youngsters who do not take their examina-
tions seriously. But their lack of preparation is more
than made up for by the short cuts or bazar notes they
have provided themselves with. Even on the night
before the examina-
may be found in the parks, cafes and restaurants talk-
ing about tips –talking glibly and confidently about
what questions are sure to come. The morning of the
examination finds them as cheerful as they were on
the night before.
What is needed most is self-confidence and a cool
head. True, we do not remember all that we have read
when we go to the Examination Hall. This does not
mean that we have forgotten them. Many things re-
main in the sub –conscious region. They jump into
consciousness when we face the questions and seri-
ously think of the answers. Often such answers score
more marks than prepared ones.
Elegance
Elegant you be, for the universe to learn your versatility.
Brighter you shine the orb will know your sustenance.
The stars, moons and clouds let know your dignity.
Apparently it seems your flawless abundance.
The ideal triumph mustn’t be exaggerated.

Elegant you be, for the universe to learn your versatility.
How can you be silent if you don’t know your efficiency?
One of the values to become successful is simplicity.
Through elegance let’s spread positivist.

Chocolate all around to the reach of my hand

Just like a dreamy treat
Colourful wrapper, shiny and bright.
Which one to choose, which would be right
Houses made of chocolates and doors made of bars
And out stood there a

And could hear the door’s knock
I woke up in a hurry
Just to realise that it was a dream!

The ant and the elephant
- SOUMEN RAO IV-E
Once upon a time in a forest there lived an ant and an
elephant. The elephant was the biggest among all the
elephants. So he was very proud of himself and used
to criticize everyone and the ant, which was the tiniest
among them, was very happy and cheerful. It used to
help everyone I its own way.
All the animals in the forest used to complain about
the egoistic elephant. So one day when the ant saw the
elephant walking towards it, it immediately thought of
a plan. As soon as the elephant came near, the ant
said, “Hello! My friend” but the elephant replied rude-
ly saying, “You tiny
otherwise you’ll get
make you cry”. The ant quickly climbed onto the trunk
of the elephant and ran towards its ear.it went inside
the ear and started biting the elephants ear. The ele-
phant tried to flap its ears but in vain. After a few
minutes tears started rolling down its eyes. It cried,
“Please come out of my ear, I can’t bear the pain.” As
soon as the ant came out, the elephant apologized for
its mistake and didn’t tease any animals from that day.
Grandparents
A heaven like destination
All their sacrifices are worthless
Great is their surrounding divinity
In front of our ordinary identity
To your grandparents never be rude
Because, they are your
when we are shouted
With generosity and be-
nevolence, they are bounded
Be sure to always meet your grandparents once in a
while and enhance yourself by their presence!!!

Women Empowerment
- Devangi Dongre VII-B
The abilities of women in making decisions, education, and profession have
been largely suppressed since ages, considering them inferior to men. The situa-
tion is worst in underdeveloped and developing nations where women in a fami-
ly are not allowed to take financial decisions or decide on matters regarding their own education.
With such state of affairs, it would be a fallacy to dream about the goals of sustainable development and gen-
der equality. There is an instant need to take measures to lift the social, personal and professional status of
women, bringing them shoulder to shoulder with men. These particular measures constitute a process, which
is known as “Women Empowerment”. Providing better education and employment opportunities to women,
ensuring their better health, providing justice and ensuring professional equivalence, are the few methods of
women empowerment.
Water Conservation
- Paarth Bhagat, VII-J
Water is life! If there was no water, there would be no
life! Hence water is the precious gift of God to mother
Earth. We cannot imagine our lives without water.
We human beings are made up of water, it is the only
transportation medium that carries the food molecules
and oxygen to the cells of every body parts to help the
blood. It signifies that water is the most essential in-
gredient to the functioning of life of every organism.
So you see living this wonderful life is impossible
without water!
manufacturing and trade and commerce. All forms of
energy generation is done using water. Be it hydroe-
lectrically projects, or thermal power plant, or nuclear
power plant, water is
the key ingredient in
all of them. There
would be no power
So it is our responsibility to conserve this life nectar.
It is possible only through by changing our outlook
towards this wonderful natural resource. We must en-
sure there is no pollution of water bodies by dumping
any waste such as, sewage, effluents, and other toxic
substances. We must also ensure there is no emission
of green-house gases into the atmosphere. The people
and the government must ensure installation of efflu-
ents and smoke treatment plants at industrial, garbage,
and sewage units.
The kind Fairies -Ovi Vichare III-D
This story starts with two beautiful babies in a king-
dom called fairyland. The babies were very pretty.
Their names were Ovi and Riddhi. They were growing
pretty well. As they grew, they became more and
more pretty. Over and over, they were also fairies and
within 5 years, they became young girls. Their mother
told them to go to school. The girls asked,''where are
the schools?'' . There are no schools here. Mother said,
''don't worry'', you will go to the planet Earth. On the
planet Earth, there is a very good school named New
Horizon Public School and the short form is nhps. We
said ok. On the first day of our school, we were very
afraid but, after a few days , we
became more smart than the
others. We were getting a lot of
prizes which we shared with
eveyone in the school. This
made us and others happy. One day We became the
princess of fairyland. Our wings were like a rainbow.
We were twins and had very long hairs.. Now I end
my story with a beautiful quote.
ALWAYS HELP EACH OTHER LIKE THE
FARIES BECAUSE HELPING PEOPLE IS THE
PATH TO GOD!!!
It was a day of love and affection
There was no visible sign of caution,
But something unfortunate was going to happen
Nobody knew where and when.
There was a blast at half past three
In a beauty land called Paradise On Earth,
A complete silence and pity hadn’t the thee
Perished laid the martyrs,
I still remember that scaring sight
The scattered limbs I couldn’t see,
My heart got filled with grief and fright
No Indian could glee.
Some families languished and some
were crying,
None of their families were mollifying.
Whatever homage to our martyrs we pay
Tiny before their they lay
Salute to their tribute to motherland
To protect us they always walked hand in hand.
Little Birdie - Marisha Nath VIII-C
I am a little birdie in the sky,
With two wings to fly.
I never disturb you!
O human! Then why do you steal my FREEDOM?
Binding me alone in the cage, makes me sad;
Don’t you know caging a bird is bad?
Looking at the sky,
I never disturb you!
O human! Then why do you steal my
FREEDOM?
Summers in India - Saranya Sarangi VIII –A
A hot season beginning from April till May is what we
call summer. And that’s the basic rule in India. But
that’s not something through which we can define
summers in our country India. The sun shining high
above the head, increasing the heat and this scorching
heat is something very unique about summers in India.
Those ice-lolly stalls roaming down the streets, tin-
kling their tiny bells is something special one will nev-
er find in any other country. Many people love this
season.
Especially the children as they get to eat ice-creams!
Many people even don’t. As they feel that this season
can only make a person dehydrated, exhausted and irri-
tated. Summer, as we think as an unfruitful season is
contrast in reality. Schools conduct summer camps
during vacation where stu-
demic and co-curricular
lies.
Often families plan trips to different places as they get
a very long vacation during this season. But now-a-
days due to increasing heat, these pleasant summers
are becoming unbearable. Every just sweat and sweat.
We get a lethargic feeling, not ready to do any work.
Due to this heat we continually keep the ACs on which
consume a lot of electricity, creating trouble for our
mother Earth and us. Gradually, that charm of the
unique kind of summers will be lost if precautions are
not taken. We must really hope and work hard to bring
back our lovely, ‘Summers in India’.
Exams are good or bad ?
- Nupoor Teli VIII–I
marks,which can lead to frustration. An environmentof
competitivenessof standing first is created for which
students keep on studying day and night without any
recreation. It is good to study,but not just for the sake
of gaining marks.
Why do we study ? What is the main intention behind
education ? Seeking intersresting and fascinating
knowledge as well as facts about the world. But now-a
-days,the main reason for studying is gaining marks. If
there are no marks,no career andno success. This is the
mindset of 70% people of the world,especially parents.
They pressurize their children so much that they get
depressed or sometimes attempt suicide as well.
Every two months an exam is conducted. Moreo-
ver,there are projects,subject-enrichment activi-
curricular activities are being learnt,then more extra
studies. Just study,study and study.
Why so much of tension on the children ? Under this
tension only they start cheating. As time passes, cheat-
ing becomes a habit of their life.
I fell that exams should be conducted once a term in
order to evaluate whether the students are clear with
the concepts or not.They shouldn't be pressurized for
their marks,but should be made understand their mis-
takes. Let them choose their own career options on
their own. Help them knowwhat they like to study and
what they want to do in their life. So, don't pressurize
students for what they don't likeand encourage them in
what they do. After all,they are only the 'Rising stars of
the country'.
Life is magical - Piyush Sahoo VII-H
A new day or a new night,
Everything in life seems bright.
A new morning or a new evening,
Life is full of happening.
A life is just like a kite,
It may disappear in a sight
Life moves from baby to old,
Make your life challenging and bold.
Enjoy life the fullest
Unlikely life comes to an end,
But remember never to bend.
Happy, sadness, victory and loss
Accept it the way it comes
Life can be at times tragical,
But make it the most beautiful.
Life is magical….
Humility is having a heart to treat others with respect
and love. Considering people worthy of your love,
time and efforts regardless of who they are or what
they have done. A person is truly humble when they
are willing to work hard for others expecting nothing
in return.
Humility has the power to change a person’s perspec-
tive towards life. It can make a difference in the way a
person is looked upon by others. Doing an act of hum-
bleness can make a person’s day. Humility is about
not having an ego or considering things below your
dignity or considering yourself greater than others.
People often confuse humility with self-respect. They
can’t make out the difference between being useful to
others and being used by others.
It takes courage to be humble,
because in the era in which we
live humility is looked upon as
weakness. People assume you’re not strong enough to
stand up for yourself. They think you surrender in-
stead of protesting. They will despise and scorn you
but they don’t know that you take pleasure in what
you do because they haven’t experienced that kind of
joy.
So, if you do have humility don’t draw back from it
because of what others think. Whatever you are doing
is for the good of others and you have no need to be
ashamed of that. Humbleness will spread from person
to person. Who knows, maybe your one act of humili-
ty will spread on to help a person in need. So be brave,
be humble!
Oh mom I came to this beautiful world, just because
of you….
Oh mom there are thorns on the way
But you manage to get me away….
Oh mom I can’t say how much you’re to me
Mom just promise me that you’ll and
always be with me…
without you
Just like the sky without it’s bright color blue…
Oh mom you’re the candle, that showed the way in the
dark,
My dear mom you made my life spark.

around us. Inspite of advanced and modern technolo-
gy, we humans, are still not able to find a solution.
Early humans neither they had much technology nor
they had enough intelligence but still in the early ages,
the environment was clean making it the reason for
the increasing life span of humans. It's a shocking
news to know that the amount of plastic bottles pro-
duced now may lead to increase in plastic pollution
and cause several death. Its a great opportunity to be
as a human in this beautiful earth, and so it's our re-
sponsibility to make it clean. In monsoon, people cut
down trees to prevent accidents to occur, but do we
plant trees in summer to prevent more global warm-
ing? We can prevent bad things to happen but not can-
not take that much effort for good things to spread.
Have you ever wondered while seeing a tap open, how
many taps are left open at the same time in the whole
world? It might sound unbelievable, there can be a
World War III on water, land and fresh air. The way
we are thinking about the wastage of water may lead
us to a massive pain. It’s truly said by Warren Buffet,
sometimes to buy things we need we have to sell
things we do not need. This happens in the case of
lacking of intelligence. We say every scholar is a true
genius, but in my
opinion a person is
ability to save and
change things in his
own way. We all have the ability to save this earth,
but our thoughts, our ego and our greediness is stop-
ping us to think in a better way. "Everyone has a good
and a bad side in his life. What matters is the part we
choose to act upon. "This is an excellent thought said
by Sirius Black in the movie Harry Potter. It’s time to
bring a change. We always have time to do good
things, all we need is hope. Spreading awareness is the
best idea to bring a change. If everyone stops thinking
about their economical needs and start contributing
towards the environment by planting more trees, cer-
tainly there will be a beneficial change in this world.
Neither do we think about the future, nor care about
the present. Why not be an optimist and think in a
positive way of life? Our studies, our needs, our
knowledge will not help us in any way if we dont
change. Its not that easy to plant a tree and care for it a
whole year. if we only plant it with all our love, nature
is certainly going to care for it. Lastly, I would like to
end with a quote” Come forth in the light of things,
nature will be your teacher."
The Small Hours Pranjal Anil Chavan V-C
No more my little song Come back
And now of nights I lay my head on down,
to watch the black
Oh! Sad are winter nights and slow
And sad is a song that’s dumb
And sad it is to lie I know
Another dawn will come
Floods and Destruction
- Nirvi Soni IV-H
parts of Assam during the rainy season. Water of river
Brahmaputra rises and enters into many villages
causing great destruction. Floods are unavoidable but
we need to take precautions in the following ways by
reducing mining activities, building dams, growing
more trees etc. During floods the weather becomes
wet and gloomy. Trees and plants get uprooted. This
way floods cause great de-
struction to both life and
property. It also becomes dif-
ficult to travel from place to
place. Many people are left
homeless. The rain water should be harvested and
stored in large storage tanks. The harvested rainwater
can be used for washing clothes and cleaning. By us-
ing rain water in our daily life we can preserve water
resources .
Come with me we’ll have some fun.
We’ll go on a walk,
Don’t worry, will have a great talk.
Roaming around the ground,
We don’t know if anything will be found,
We’ll surely find the crown.
Up on the chilled mountain,
We saw a beautiful fountain.
Surrounded by a beautiful castle,
Decorated with the colourful tassel.
Just be quiet and keen,
Soon you will be the queen
Think before you speak!!!
Think before you speak,
You can’t undo the harm done after you squeak!
Think before you speak,
think!
to seek!
you sleep!
please!
The Island dreams under the dawn
And the message is carried by the wind; that blows
across the bitter sea .
enamelled sea
With fading stars and rising light.
GLOBAL WARMING - Adhyant Singh VII-F
Global warming refers to the steady rise in the Earth’s mean temperature. The effect of global
warming had come into sight when polar ice caps started melting this phenomena is called ICE –
ALBEDO, the ice caps melt faster due to the rise in the temperature. This sudden rise in the temperature near
the poles began in 1999. The polar ice caps in Antarctica melt at the rate of 400,000,000,000 tons per year, ac-
cording to some scientists it would approximately take 5000 years to melt the total ice on earth. In 2013 Inter-
governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) stated that the main cause of Global warming is human inter-
vention like emission of Green house gases like Carbon-Di-Oxide, nitrous oxide and methane.
These gases trap the heat which is reflected by the Earth’s surface thus increasing the temperature and also
destroying the ozone layer which prevents the ultraviolet rays of the sun from reaching the earth’s surface. Al-
so burning fossil fuel contributes to the problem. Effects of global warming have also led to the increase in the
sea level and extreme weather like heat waves and change in the regional pattern of precipitation and the ex-
pansion of desserts. A concentrated and focused effort by the entire humanity can curb down the impact of
Global warming and also prevent it. Planting more trees to control the amount of carbon-di-oxide, eliminating
the use of chlorofluorocarbon or (CFC’S) are a few steps. All the countries have signed up with the United Na-
tions Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to prevent the doomsday of Earth. So to prevent
earth’s doomsday we all must work together.
It’s not too late there is still time…...Before the earth ends and we whine…..So keep on marching and planting
greens To end Global Warming and Make our planet green…
What will happen without Instagram?
- Kaavya Chaudhary VII-F
Instagram, Instagram, Instagram
Nobody knew the answer to my question
Mobiles, Mobiles, Mobiles
I asked who was the inventor,
Again, nobody was aware
There was one time we were
engrossed in books,
Now we care more about our looks
Instagram won’t give you a job,
You will have to study and top
Your fellow followers won’t help either,
If you don’t have a job, no one will bother.
I am a tree
Above the ground.
I give you food
I give you fruits.
I give you medicine
I give you wood.
I need some sunlight
And some fresh air.
I need some water
And your loving care.
The Night - Matangi Rajesh VII-D
It's the night,
What a beautiful sight.
This is the time to start your diet,
To go for a run wearing tights.
Then comes the evening when
you have snacks light
or include your sibling in a pillow fight.
Again comes the night,
A beautiful sight.
INDIA’S JOURNEY TOWARDDS TECHNOLOGY AND SPACE - Sakshi Shetty VII-J
A little known fact , India today has end-to-end capabilities in space. The country builds and launches its own
heavy duty rockets, designs and fabricates some of the most sophisticated satellites. In a singular achievement,
India’s Mars Orbiter mission or Mangalyaan, an unmanned satellite today racing to rendezvous with the red
planet, making India a part of a select club of 6 that have dared to undertake the over 680 million kilometer
journey . The Indian Space Research Organization, ISRO is the Space Agency of Government of India head-
quartered in the city of Bengaluru. Its vision is to “harness space technology “for na-
tional development while pursuing space science research and planter exploration
Some achievements of ISRO in 2017
Launching 104 satellites with one rocket
South Asia Satellite (GSAT- 9) launch.
Launch of ISRO’s Fat Boy’
31 satellites in a single flight.
Sending another communication satellite in the space .
In 2009, Indians maiden mission to the moon ,Chandrayaan- 1 brought back the first clinching evidence of the
presence of water on the arched lunar surface. In more down to the Earth missions Indian satellites are also
helping locate underground water aquifers for some of the poorest and marginal people of India. In a way,
India’s space technology is helping everyone.

Hyperloop -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
Human inventions have baffled the world. They are
innumerable ranging from revolutionizing
smartphones to not-so-breathtaking ice cream cones
but they play a role in our life just the same. The
things which are commonplace to us now were unbe-
knownst to people once upon a time. For the people of
the 19th century the car was a thing of the future until
in 1885 Karl Benz ran his first car on the road. Then
for centuries people took the prospect of of flying like
the birds as only a wild possibility which was made
possible in 1903 when the Wright Brothers flew the
first plane.
What is the 'thing of the future' for us. Well we are the
future, modifying and bettering the things that have
been made and crating stuff that we didn't even dare
to imagine about. The Hyperloop fulfills both aspects
of the definition, a very advanced model of our faith-
ful train and yet a brand new idea to scale greater
heights. The Hyperloop is an ideal mode of efficient
transport. It's heap and faster than a normal aeroplane
with a speed of 7000 miles per hour. It's amazing
speed is due to two simple reasons. It doesn't have to
ace the two types of friction that every other vehicle
has to face. Air resistance and ground friction. The
pods of the Hyperloop are propelled through a depres-
surized tub. Since it is almost vacuum very little air
resistance can be offered inside the tube. Due to this
the energy required to travel is also very less. The Hy-
perloop's unique technology uses magnetic levitation
to guide and lift the pods of the rail. Since the pod is
not in contact with the ground there is no friction act-
ing on it.The first Hyperloop – virgin Hyperloop one
is set to run with passengers as early as 2021 and is
created by SpaceX and Tesla.
The mastermind behind the Hyperloop is Elon Musk
who first published a 58 page white-paper on the web-
site of his company-Space X. It was available to all
and was titled 'Hyperloop alpha'. The Hyperloop may
be the pioneer of a whole new era of transportation
traveling a distance which would otherwise take 12
hours in just I hour it has crossed all known bounda-
ries and created higher limits for us to reach and reach
we must for when time is money and money is time
an option that saves both needs to be used.
Exams are good or bad ? -Nupoor Teli VIII-I
In my humble opinion, exams are pressure on the stu-
dents. They are forced to study and score good marks,
which can lead to frustration. An environment of com-
petitiveness of standing first is created for which stu-
dents keep on studying day and night without any rec-
reation. It is good to study, but not just for the sake of
gaining marks.
Why do we study ? What is the main intention behind
education? Seeking interesting and fascinating
knowledge as well as facts about the world. But now-a
-days, the main reason for studying is gaining marks.
If there are no marks, no career and no success. This
is the mindset of 70% people of the world, especially
parents. They pressurize their children so much that
they get depressed or sometimes attempt suicide as
well.Every two months an exam is conducted. Moreo-
ver, there are projects, subject-enrichment activities,
chapter test after every topic, notebook/file submis-
sion etc. And as cherry on top of the cake, we have the
semester exams of eighty marks as well. What all will
the students do ? And even if any extra-curricular ac-
tivities are being learnt, then more extra studies. Just
study, study and study.
