From Principalrsquos 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 Itrsquos 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

Our inner dialogue is the software that programs our

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

Many of us have behavior patterns today that were

programmed into our brains at a very tender age The

sad reality of life is that we continue to hear negative

information but we donrsquot 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

Dr Nicholas Correa

Executive Director amp Principal

Editorial

This is a time of massive changesin 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 ndash and thus this is to be

viewed as a launch pad for the childrenrsquos creative urges to

blossom naturally

As the saying goes leadersare built in classroomsThis

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

My thanks are due to the PrincipalVice Principal editor

students and teachers to have been of immense help in

breathing life into these pages

the efforts put into its making Happy viewing and Reading

ldquoMicro changes in Life can bring Macro Transformationrdquo

Children should be taught to think We should help them to unfold their imaginations and give life to

their thoughts amp 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

amp the most overwhelming key to a childrsquos success is the attitude by parents by giving the space to the

child and not comparing them to others ldquoThe secret of getting ahead is getting startedrdquo 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

childrenrsquo s imagination to foster a positive learning Environment Letrsquos give them a platform to

think express ampexhibit their skills

I congratulate the editorial team for their hard work in releasing this E magazine

Happy Readinghellip

ldquo What you are is Godrsquos gift to you What you become is your gift to God ldquo

Language is one of Godrsquos 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-C

Your life is in your hands How to solve your life with

ease Thats always a big question in a puzzled mind

Synchronizing the answer is always necessary Elabo-

ration the next first lets understand why you get a

human life hereditarily Until and unless you have

solved the Rubiks 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 Thats

not a small value Its 70times12=etc

Now whats a shadow side of your life Its 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 dont 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 isnt easy but definitely you can

decide your life Have a success its good defeating

all sort of gratuitous emotions is better and thinking

optimistically is best Like with what the quote moti-

vatesldquoonly when you illuminate otherswithout ex-

pectation or rewardwill you truly understand how to

illuminate yourselfrdquo only remember dont 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 personrsquos 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 personrsquos life

Destiny is not unchangeable the power to do so lies in

your very hands

Savior of all Nikita V IXndash A

Our country is safe

Because of you

You protect our country today

And forever yoursquoll do

The tri-colour will glare

Because you are there

And the feelings of love with

Our country we share

Bravery in your fights

And surgical strikes

Salute to you and all

The almighty soldiers

I pledge my glory and

will always be proud of your story

Self Confidence

Anirudh Shetti VI B

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

On assembly he reported beautifully and he was the

best reporter in the assembly There are some more

other positives like positive thinking concentration

good manners being kind etc Like Theodore Roose-

velt said ldquoEach time we face fear we gain strength

courage and confidence in the doingrdquo I will conclude

my article with this quote ldquoBelieve in yourself and

you will be unstoppablerdquo

Pencil

-Aadya Agarwal V

Once I was drawing with a pencil

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 ldquoErase Eraserdquo

I lost my pencil

But it was with my friend Jencil

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 ldquopencilrsquos life is very vastrdquo

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

Taras intelligence

- Pritika Manohar kadam VIII ndashD

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 brothers

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 cant 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

Next day she gathered them and

went to her father and said you

wont help one girl (me) so can

you help us to study Her father was impressed by her

intelligenceHe 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 lsquogoodbyersquo

-Nidhi Mishra VIII-G

Together we laughed

Together we wept

Myriad fond impressions We kept

Jointly we danced like daisy

We didnrsquot bother about others

We chuckled like crazy

Concerning about the fussy was tempestuous

Together we were scintillating

We were engrossed in

Our cackles were uplifting

Something was sinister I remained keen

That gloominess was undesirable

Not you but our disunion was near

Our parting was lamentable

The distance between us was my fear

Our disunion was forthcoming

I wished I could quit it

Tears from our eyes were running

With those yet we had to split

Years had flown by

Not the echo

The ordeal to say a

lsquogoodbyersquo

And to lose a loyal oppo

My dream House

-Harshith Nair IX-B

Voila I have shifted to my new house

Away from those lizards and that cunning mouse

That was once a basic and simple house

Now canrsquot get over the whoaas and wowws

Ancient doors and artefacts with a palatial tinge

Enter and you would feel yoursquove got wings

Vintage artefacts and interiors add to the glam

quotient

A gramophone an antique

telephone that take you to an

era thatrsquos ancient

To me and my brotherrsquos surprise therersquos an excit-

ing bunk bed

Now who sleeps on the top therersquos gonna be a

bloodshed

I hate boasting but this onersquos the icing on the

cake

Let me tell you friends this was a dream all

fake

Friendship

-Divya Johnson VIII ndash I

Friendship has no form

sometimes it makes us feel secure and warm

Sometimes leaves us cold and forlorn

and sometimes gives us the power to go on

We mistake it often for something materializing

but itrsquos free and artistic

It is hard to catch

no other virtue has its match

Indomitable Earth - Poorvi Sanu IX ndashG

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

Intestinal hurdle artwork framed

Mammals fattened by unnatural floating

Wild material machine Unseen

Where does your waste ream

What can I do

It takes more than

one It takes society

Globally to do what

needs to be done

Our footprint is mas-

sive weighty

Join Mother Earth

On our journey here and abroad

Full of disbelief and open scorn

Itrsquos 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 lsquocause guess what ldquoI AM TRAVELLING IN

THE BUMPY TRAINrdquo 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 therersquos 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

and thatrsquos what makes our

India famous and legend-

ary We also get to eat

those India-famous snacks

from all over India like lsquoShehgaon kachorirsquo lsquo Kol-

hapuri misalrsquo 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

Control Yourself - Suvan Lokhande IX-A

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 TV or maybe food

ldquoControl Yourself Kidrdquo ldquoDone not more than

thisrdquo ldquoControlrdquo such types of sentences maybe

familiar to you which must be said by your mom dad

teachers and your elders But thatrsquos exactly true what

they say I know that itrsquos 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

And these changes can definitely make you proudAt

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 lifehelliphellipControl Yourself amp Be the

Change

Nature

- BHUMESH DADHWAL VIImdashC

The earth is full of surprises

Just look around yourself

It can be anywhere around you

Even somewhere in your bookshelf

The most surprising is nature

It can be a human or thing or even a creature

We humans made strong big buildings

And thatrsquos 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

Anger Management

- Sfurti Kumbhar IX-A

AngerhellipThe 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 isnrsquot Itrsquos 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 Irsquom trying to get it

under control Sort of

Impossible right Managing anger sounds easy You

can distract yourself from the situation Permanently

fix an imaginary meter in your brain which indicates

anger level My meter is always near 50-60 When I

say that Irsquom 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 ldquodrink cool water to cool down your warm

headrdquo or breathe Listen to your fav music Or ask

yourself this simple question

ldquoIs getting angry at this person or screaming at them

going to improve my day in any way whatsoeverrdquo

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

ldquofuse blowing offrdquo 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

The voice is so pretty

That it charms in the whole city

There is dance in your smile

With moves in a pile

There is a magical art

Right inside your heart

Painting pictures which create

memories

That are soothing just like a

breeze

You are a Masterpiece

With an end number of skills

Creativity is your strength

Keep safe till the end

Friend

- Nupoor Teli VIII

Friend is like

the leaves of a tree

of the shining night

It is the light

that makes your life bright

Friend is the one

Friend is like

a blooming flower

A true friendship is

higher than a tower

Monsoon -Isha Bhanushali VIII

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 youWell 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 600 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

I after a while made up my

mind I will set out and go on

my ownI 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 its

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 Moms scolding

Yes because I had stepped inside a big puddle

Soldier - Marisha Nath VIII-C

Dear soldier you sacrifice yourself for your nation

But people think itrsquos your job not your passion

You are a warrior

You are our savior

You are in the list of Godrsquos 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

mind you of Yep Thatrsquos right These are all systems

for women

These are sacrifices and systems that women perform

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 processMen work approximately 6 ndash 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 donrsquot

To all the men and boys reading this I have a few

questions for youDo 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 ndash 21

bones at once Did men know this And yet they con-

sider women weak They think that because wersquore

women we cannot thinkIf we cannot think who is

Marie Curie If we are weak who delivers kids

Women arenrsquot any different They are children of

gods They arenrsquot your personal secretaries they are

your partnersOnly 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

ishellipabsolutely nothing

Is this right

Submission to Peer Pressure -Akshat Mishra IX -G

ldquoHey Mohan When did you get this new iPhone-Xrdquo

we asked him in surprise as we knew the financial

condition of his family ldquoMy cousin gifted it to merdquo

quipped Mohan sheepishly All the boys resumed

playing but I knew there was something amissPeer

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

someonersquos 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

arenrsquot 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 arenrsquot 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

ldquoFreedom of Press in Democracyrdquo

- 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

about news from vari-

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

Even if the media subsequently correct a statement the

damage done may be irreparable Hence the media should

take care to carefully investigate any news item before

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

New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 22

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 priceAlso 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

democracySome newspapers espouse the cause of

only one community

ldquoThey do not judge problems on their merits They

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 worldrsquos 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

We all know the present condition of our environment

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 Its 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 beauti-

ful earth and so itrsquos 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 trsquos

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 rdquoEveryone

has a good and a bad side in his life What matters is

the part we choose to act upon rdquoThis is an excellent

thought said by Sirius Black in the movie Harry Pot-

ter Itrsquos 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 donrsquot 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

- Heet Shripal Kankariya VII-G

It is hard to recall the past

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

Dont lose ittry and endeavor

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

With all the night strength and gust

Preserving nature is must

Mother Nature has been so lucrative

Letrsquos do something to save her

Something new and creativersquo

Let us get pollution under control

Before mother Earth weeps and implores

Let clean air sweep

Both high and deep

Let the tiny piece of land

Be clean tidy and neat

Let uncontaminated water be

So that everything doesnrsquot

end like the sea

Let the tree stand

lsquoCause it is more alluring than the seven colour band

Without being loquacious

Mother nature is indeed precious

The Little girl

- Bhumika Sharma VI-F

I found in a garage

Near the carriage

A tiny little baby girl

She had cute blue eyes

Which were very small in size

And had beautiful hair with a cute little curl

I wonder why she was there

And she came fromhellipwhere

I then asked a person passing on the road

If he knew the merciless who

kept her near the horses and

toads

The person replied ldquoWho cares

O Madamhellip

hellipFor a girl who is denied by her

dad and mum

I felt very sad and cried

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 ndashD

It was rainy season

At home came a pigeon

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 didnrsquot fly away

Because I took care

Soon there were three small

eggs

Which were taken care of by the guest

The bird is easy to guess

Because it doesnrsquot make a mess

With its red tail

It looked a bit frail

Between the plants green full full

Was the nest of the little Bulbul

The Art of Dharma as per Mahabharata

- Abhishek Singh [Teacher SrSecondary]

Dharma means the Duty or RighteousnessDharma is

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)Its like the Ying and Yang

Duryodhanarsquos envy for the Pandvarsquos Indraprastha and

Yudhishthirarsquos 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

rivalrsquos possessions or eternal sickness to pull the rival

downThe envy and greed are both presents even in

the

modern day world the failure

of communism was caused by

envy among citizens while 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

Dharma is not justice Its difference between Retribu-

tive Justice and forgiveness While a nation with

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 wasnrsquot happy to see me happy

and I noticed a photograph in my phone which be-

mused me ndash not mentioning how frightened I had be-

come

The picture waswashow can I explain The back-

ground was of my house In the photoI was

sleeping Butbut 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 ndash the

noises from outside noises of something creaking and

the wind forcefully blowing through the thin slit of the

window eerily

I was panic-stricken I

quickly switched my

phone off and kept it on

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 lsquoIt is Tues-

day todayrsquo 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 couldnrsquot 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 doesnrsquot 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 wonrsquot 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

- Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D

She lived under a rock

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

From being the young shy girl they saw

But all this struggle slowly had her crumbling

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 lsquolifersquo as its spell

Being myself Irsquoll uplift

Life is too short

Donrsquot be someone else

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 educationWith 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

status of women bringing

them shoulder to shoulder

with men These particular

measures constitute a pro-

cess which is known as ldquoWomen Empowermentrdquo

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

- 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 lsquoEscape and start overrsquo

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

embryos is set up they would

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

Television Pros and Cons

- Soumya Sheth

What do most of the people do these days to entertain

themselvesEveryone 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

However like every good and popular inventions tel-

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 elseItrsquos

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 inven-

tion of science in

the right and bene-

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 donrsquot

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

The night before the final examination appears to all

examinees as the night before the Battle of Waterloo

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-

tion they would be

going about their

daily rounds They

may be found in the parks cafes and restaurants talk-

ing about tips ndashtalking 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 ndashconscious 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

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 ldquoHello My friendrdquo but the elephant replied rude-

ly saying ldquoYou tiny

ant Get off my way

otherwise yoursquoll get

crushed to deathrdquo

Hearing this ant

challenged the elephant sayingrdquo My big friend I can

make you cryrdquo The ant quickly climbed onto the trunk

of the elephant and ran towards its earit 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

ldquoPlease come out of my ear I canrsquot bear the painrdquo As

soon as the ant came out the elephant apologized for

its mistake and didnrsquot tease any animals from that day

nevolence they are bounded

Water Conservation

Water is life If there was no water there would be no

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

Water is the force behind all the industry agriculture

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

without water No

water no life

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-

The kind Fairies -Aditys Patil VIII-E

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 askedwhere are

the schools There are no schools here Mother said

dont 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

The Day Irsquoll Never Forget - Saranya Sarangi VII -

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 hadnrsquot the thee

Perished laid the martyrs

Whom our motherland gave birth

I still remember that scaring sight

The scattered limbs I couldnrsquot see

My heart got filled with grief and fright

No Indian could glee

Terribly writhing the soldiers were seen

Some families languished and some

were crying

So loyal to their country they had been

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

I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom

O human Then why do you steal my FREEDOM

Binding me alone in the cage makes me sad

Donrsquot you know caging a bird is bad

Looking at the sky

I wish I could fly

I never disturb you

I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom

O human Then why do you steal my

FREEDOM

Summers in India - Saranya Sarangi VIII

A hot season beginning from April till May is what we

call summer And thatrsquos the basic rule in India But

thatrsquos 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 donrsquot 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-

dents can join different aca-

demic and co-curricular

courses to improve them-

selves Many children even spend time with their fami-

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 lsquoSummers in Indiarsquo

Exams are good or bad

- Nupoor Teli VIIIndashI

In my humble opinionexams are apressure on the stu-

dents They are forced to study and score good

markswhich 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 studybut 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

-daysthe main reason for studying is gaining marks If

there are no marksno career andno success This is the

mindset of 70 people of the worldespecially 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-

verthere are projectssubject-enrichment activi-

tieschapter test sfter every topicnotebookfile submis

sion etcAnd as acherry on top

of the cakewe have the semes-

ter exams of eighty marks as

well What all will the students

do And even if any extra-

curricular activities are being learntthen more extra

studies Just studystudy 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 notThey shouldnt be pressurized for

their marksbut 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 dont pressurize

students for what they dont likeand encourage them in

what they do After allthey 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

Never accept less than best

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 magicalhellip

Life is so magicalhellip

Humility -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D

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 personrsquos 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 personrsquos 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

canrsquot 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 yoursquore not strong enough to

stand up for yourself They think you surrender in-

stead of protesting They will despise and scorn you

but they donrsquot know that you take pleasure in what

you do because they havenrsquot experienced that kind of

joy

So if you do have humility donrsquot 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

Mom -Tanvi Sawant VII-C

Oh mom I came to this beautiful world just because

of youhellip

Mom what would I do without you

Oh mom there are thorns on the way

But you manage to get me awayhellip

Oh mom I canrsquot say how much yoursquore to me

Mom just promise me that yoursquoll and

always be with mehellip

Oh mom this world is incomplete

without you

Just like the sky without itrsquos bright color bluehellip

Oh mom yoursquore the candle that showed the way in the

dark

My dear mom you made my life spark

OUR FUTURE EARTH - Hiya Purswani VIII-B

We all know the present condition of our environment

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 Its 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 its 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 Itrsquos 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

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 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 Itrsquos 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 donʼt

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 quoterdquo 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

And wait the unfailing gray

Oh Sad are winter nights and slow

And sad is a song thatrsquos dumb

And sad it is to lie I know

Another dawn will come

Floods and Destruction

- Nirvi Soni IV-H

India faces occurrence of floods each year in some

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

Good Morning Everyone -Vyomi ThakkarVI - H

Come with me wersquoll have some fun

Roaming around the ground

With beautiful birdrsquos sound

We donrsquot know if anything will be found

Wersquoll 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

-Shravya Atreya IX-D

Think before you speak

There are hearts you must please

Think before you speak

You canrsquot undo the harm done after you squeak

Think before you speak

You might have done greater harm than you might

think

Think before you speak

There are still places left for you

to seek

Think before you speak

There is a long way to go before

you sleep

Think before you speak

There are hearts you must

please

Sunrise -Anuradha Singh VII-H

GLOBAL WARMING - Adhyant Singh VII-F

Global warming refers to the steady rise in the Earthrsquos mean temperature The effect of global

warming had come into sight when polar ice caps started melting this phenomena is called ICE ndash

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 400000000000 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 Earthrsquos surface thus increasing the temperature and also

destroying the ozone layer which prevents the ultraviolet rays of the sun from reaching the earthrsquos 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 (CFCrsquoS) 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

earthrsquos doomsday we all must work together

Itrsquos not too late there is still timehellipBefore the earth ends and we whinehellipSo keep on marching and planting

greens To end Global Warming and Make our planet greenhellip

The Night - Matangi Rajesh VII-D

Its the night

The moon is white

When we switch off the light

What a beautiful sight

After this comes the sun bright

There is no more artificial light

This is the time to start your diet

To go for a run wearing tights

Then comes the evening when

you have snacks light

And fly a big colorful kite

or include your sibling in a pillow fight

Again comes the night

A moon which is white

We switch off the light

A beautiful sight

heavy duty rockets designs and fabricates some of the most sophisticated satellites In a singular achievement

Indiarsquos 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 ldquoharness space technology ldquofor 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 ISROrsquos Fat Boyrsquo

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

Indiarsquos 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 didnt 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 Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane

with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing

speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt 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-

perloops 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 itThe first Hyperloop ndash 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

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

wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-

ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities

chapter test after every topic notebookfile 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

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 lifeI fell that exams

should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate

whether the students are clear with the concepts or

not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but

should be made understand their mistakes Let them

choose their own career options on their own Help

them know what they like to study and what they want

to do in their life So dont pressurize students for

what they dont like and encourage them in what they

do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the

country

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B

Life is all about interactions You meet people and

you interact You observe them consciously or sub-

consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us

more than we even realise Some people leave a last-

ing impression on us and entirely change the course of

life for better or for worse Some people influence us

help us go further and make all the difference

I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-

tial people They have taken care of me ever since I

came into this world They are the ones who wish the

best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-

cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel

no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-

come a part of my personality They are the ones who

helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me

to be better

When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are

the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-

takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique

learning experience It has made me realise how eve-

rything they do has a reason They are the ones who

have taught me the importance of the little things in

life They are the ones who have helped me recognize

and follow my passion The very thought of them not

being a part of my life is scary to the least as without

them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am

today and whatever I have achieved is all because of

them and I am very grateful of that

Eyesight

-Aditi Shenoy VIII-F

The tired little girl went to bed

Recollecting the days bygone

Seeing them in her dreams

As the day she was born

Trying to see the world

With her little eyes

But the sun with his brightness

Wouldnt let her catch the sights

The girl still eager

And curious to see the world around her

Again opened her eyes

But her vision was blurred

Still she did not lose hope

Which flowed through her blood

Encouraging and pushing her

To see the world further

Her heart beating fast

Her enthusiasm increasing

She slowly tried to see

With her eyes continuously blinking

Starting to lose hope

She was ready to give up

But curiosity got the upper hand

And pushed her forward

With her hope again rising

and strength in her eyesight

She is finally seeing the world

With wide open eyes

Conquering the space

Chandrayan-2 Indiarsquos Moon Mission The dream of

entire India to land on moon and become the 4th Na-

tion in the world to put its flag on the soil of moon

after USSR USA amp China

ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launched

Chandrayan-2 on 22nd July 2019 from Bengaluru

(Satish Dhawan Space Center) under the command of

ISRO chief K Shivan It consists of ORBITER

LANDER amp Lunar Rover PRAGYAN Like Chandra-

yan-1(22nd Oct2008) it was Indiarsquos indigenous moon

mission

It touched the Moon Surface on Saturday early morn-

ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-

ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-

ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of

moon it lost contact with the ground station Because

of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be

monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m

(approx) away from its assigned location near

SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still

orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange

signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it

The ORBITER which will remain active for another

12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-

owed portion of the moon for the first time in history

with the help of its high-resolution camera

The entire Nation irrespective of their field of

knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front

of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of

VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true

Indians who always dream progress and development

of their motherland But our heart never accepts this

as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement

for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-

pose of our mission

But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at

this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring

country quoting this as a big failure on part of India

blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos

money on this

Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will

be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to

this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other

nations on such missions

Further I should say that India is not new in the field

of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-

TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975

It was named after famous scientist of ancient India

ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested

for the first time the HELIOCENTRIC THEORY

(Sun at the center and all planets revolve around the

Sun) of the Solar System much earlier than ready for

New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 57

COPERNICUS as believed in the western world

Other countries might have moon on their flags but

we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is

great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are

whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-

rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is

only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the

unknown and its continual application for the benefit

of the mankind)rdquo

Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by

various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-

PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-

cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958

onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as

46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was

attempted out of which only 21 was successful

Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-

tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the

overall attempts conducted by other Nations

USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-

NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was

planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January

SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR

successfully on moon

NASA after many attempts was successful to send

first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th

July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk

on moon

Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-

clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-

SION MANGAL for our next moon mission

From Principalrsquos 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 Itrsquos 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

Our inner dialogue is the software that programs our

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

Many of us have behavior patterns today that were

programmed into our brains at a very tender age The

sad reality of life is that we continue to hear negative

information but we donrsquot 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

Dr Nicholas Correa

Executive Director amp Principal

Editorial

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 ndash and thus this is to be

ence to create a world of beauty in words

dren

ldquoMicro changes in Life can bring Macro Transformationrdquo

Children should be taught to think We should help them to unfold their imaginations and give life to

their thoughts amp 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

amp the most overwhelming key to a childrsquos success is the attitude by parents by giving the space to the

child and not comparing them to others ldquoThe secret of getting ahead is getting startedrdquo 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

childrenrsquo s imagination to foster a positive learning Environment Letrsquos give them a platform to

think express ampexhibit their skills

I congratulate the editorial team for their hard work in releasing this E magazine

Happy Readinghellip

ldquo What you are is Godrsquos gift to you What you become is your gift to God ldquo

Language is one of Godrsquos 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-C

Your life is in your hands How to solve your life with

ease Thats always a big question in a puzzled mind

Synchronizing the answer is always necessary Elabo-

ration the next first lets understand why you get a

human life hereditarily Until and unless you have

solved the Rubiks 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 Thats

not a small value Its 70times12=etc

Now whats a shadow side of your life Its 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 dont 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 isnt easy but definitely you can

decide your life Have a success its good defeating

all sort of gratuitous emotions is better and thinking

optimistically is best Like with what the quote moti-

vatesldquoonly when you illuminate otherswithout ex-

pectation or rewardwill you truly understand how to

illuminate yourselfrdquo only remember dont 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 personrsquos 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 personrsquos life

Destiny is not unchangeable the power to do so lies in

your very hands

Savior of all Nikita V IXndash A

Our country is safe

Because of you

You protect our country today

And forever yoursquoll do

The tri-colour will glare

Because you are there

And the feelings of love with

Our country we share

Bravery in your fights

And surgical strikes

Salute to you and all

The almighty soldiers

I pledge my glory and

will always be proud of your story

Self Confidence

Anirudh Shetti VI B

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

On assembly he reported beautifully and he was the

best reporter in the assembly There are some more

other positives like positive thinking concentration

good manners being kind etc Like Theodore Roose-

velt said ldquoEach time we face fear we gain strength

courage and confidence in the doingrdquo I will conclude

my article with this quote ldquoBelieve in yourself and

you will be unstoppablerdquo

Pencil

-Aadya Agarwal V

Once I was drawing with a pencil

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 ldquoErase Eraserdquo

I lost my pencil

But it was with my friend Jencil

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 ldquopencilrsquos life is very vastrdquo

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

Taras intelligence

- Pritika Manohar kadam VIII ndashD

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 brothers

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 cant 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

Next day she gathered them and

went to her father and said you

wont help one girl (me) so can

you help us to study Her father was impressed by her

intelligenceHe 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 lsquogoodbyersquo

-Nidhi Mishra VIII-G

Together we laughed

Together we wept

Myriad fond impressions We kept

Jointly we danced like daisy

We didnrsquot bother about others

We chuckled like crazy

Concerning about the fussy was tempestuous

Together we were scintillating

We were engrossed in

Our cackles were uplifting

Something was sinister I remained keen

That gloominess was undesirable

Not you but our disunion was near

Our parting was lamentable

The distance between us was my fear

Our disunion was forthcoming

I wished I could quit it

Tears from our eyes were running

With those yet we had to split

Years had flown by

Not the echo

The ordeal to say a

lsquogoodbyersquo

And to lose a loyal oppo

My dream House

-Harshith Nair IX-B

Voila I have shifted to my new house

Away from those lizards and that cunning mouse

That was once a basic and simple house

Now canrsquot get over the whoaas and wowws

Ancient doors and artefacts with a palatial tinge

Enter and you would feel yoursquove got wings

Vintage artefacts and interiors add to the glam

quotient

A gramophone an antique

telephone that take you to an

era thatrsquos ancient

To me and my brotherrsquos surprise therersquos an excit-

ing bunk bed

Now who sleeps on the top therersquos gonna be a

bloodshed

I hate boasting but this onersquos the icing on the

cake

Let me tell you friends this was a dream all

fake

Friendship

-Divya Johnson VIII ndash I

Friendship has no form

sometimes it makes us feel secure and warm

Sometimes leaves us cold and forlorn

and sometimes gives us the power to go on

We mistake it often for something materializing

but itrsquos free and artistic

It is hard to catch

no other virtue has its match

Indomitable Earth - Poorvi Sanu IX ndashG

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

Intestinal hurdle artwork framed

Mammals fattened by unnatural floating

Wild material machine Unseen

Where does your waste ream

What can I do

It takes more than

one It takes society

Globally to do what

needs to be done

Our footprint is mas-

sive weighty

Join Mother Earth

On our journey here and abroad

Full of disbelief and open scorn

Itrsquos 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 lsquocause guess what ldquoI AM TRAVELLING IN

THE BUMPY TRAINrdquo 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 therersquos 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

and thatrsquos what makes our

India famous and legend-

ary We also get to eat

those India-famous snacks

from all over India like lsquoShehgaon kachorirsquo lsquo Kol-

hapuri misalrsquo 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

Control Yourself - Suvan Lokhande IX-A

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 TV or maybe food

ldquoControl Yourself Kidrdquo ldquoDone not more than

thisrdquo ldquoControlrdquo such types of sentences maybe

familiar to you which must be said by your mom dad

teachers and your elders But thatrsquos exactly true what

they say I know that itrsquos 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

And these changes can definitely make you proudAt

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 lifehelliphellipControl Yourself amp Be the

Change

Anger Management

- Sfurti Kumbhar IX-A

AngerhellipThe 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 isnrsquot Itrsquos 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 Irsquom trying to get it

under control Sort of

Impossible right Managing anger sounds easy You

can distract yourself from the situation Permanently

fix an imaginary meter in your brain which indicates

anger level My meter is always near 50-60 When I

say that Irsquom 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 ldquodrink cool water to cool down your warm

headrdquo or breathe Listen to your fav music Or ask

yourself this simple question

ldquoIs getting angry at this person or screaming at them

going to improve my day in any way whatsoeverrdquo

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

ldquofuse blowing offrdquo 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

The voice is so pretty

Monsoon -Isha Bhanushali VIII

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 youWell 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 600 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

I after a while made up my

mind I will set out and go on

my ownI 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 its

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 Moms scolding

Yes because I had stepped inside a big puddle

Soldier - Marisha Nath VIII-C

Dear soldier you sacrifice yourself for your nation

You are a warrior

You are our savior

You are in the list of Godrsquos 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

Sati widows shravana shraddha managala gaur

akshaya tritiya child marriage karva chauthhellip

etcetera etcetera etceteraWhat do these words re-

mind you of Yep Thatrsquos right These are all systems

for women

These are sacrifices and systems that women perform

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 processMen work approximately 6 ndash 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 donrsquot

To all the men and boys reading this I have a few

questions for youDo 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 ndash 21

bones at once Did men know this And yet they con-

sider women weak They think that because wersquore

women we cannot thinkIf we cannot think who is

Marie Curie If we are weak who delivers kids

Women arenrsquot any different They are children of

gods They arenrsquot your personal secretaries they are

your partnersOnly 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

ishellipabsolutely nothing

Is this right

Submission to Peer Pressure -Akshat Mishra IX -G

ldquoHey Mohan When did you get this new iPhone-Xrdquo

we asked him in surprise as we knew the financial

condition of his family ldquoMy cousin gifted it to merdquo

quipped Mohan sheepishly All the boys resumed

playing but I knew there was something amissPeer

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

someonersquos 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

arenrsquot 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 arenrsquot 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

ldquoFreedom of Press in Democracyrdquo

- 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

about news from vari-

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

Even if the media subsequently correct a statement the

damage done may be irreparable Hence the media should

take care to carefully investigate any news item before

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

New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 22

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 priceAlso 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

democracySome newspapers espouse the cause of

only one community

ldquoThey do not judge problems on their merits They

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 worldrsquos 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

We all know the present condition of our environment

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 Its 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 beauti-

ful earth and so itrsquos 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 trsquos

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 rdquoEveryone

has a good and a bad side in his life What matters is

the part we choose to act upon rdquoThis is an excellent

thought said by Sirius Black in the movie Harry Pot-

ter Itrsquos 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 donrsquot 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

- Heet Shripal Kankariya VII-G

It is hard to recall the past

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

Dont lose ittry and endeavor

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

With all the night strength and gust

Preserving nature is must

Mother Nature has been so lucrative

Letrsquos do something to save her

Something new and creativersquo

Let us get pollution under control

Before mother Earth weeps and implores

Let clean air sweep

Both high and deep

Let the tiny piece of land

Be clean tidy and neat

Let uncontaminated water be

So that everything doesnrsquot

end like the sea

Let the tree stand

lsquoCause it is more alluring than the seven colour band

Without being loquacious

Mother nature is indeed precious

The Little girl

- Bhumika Sharma VI-F

I found in a garage

Near the carriage

A tiny little baby girl

She had cute blue eyes

Which were very small in size

And had beautiful hair with a cute little curl

I wonder why she was there

And she came fromhellipwhere

I then asked a person passing on the road

If he knew the merciless who

kept her near the horses and

toads

The person replied ldquoWho cares

O Madamhellip

hellipFor a girl who is denied by her

dad and mum

I felt very sad and cried

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 ndashD

It was rainy season

At home came a pigeon

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 didnrsquot fly away

Because I took care

Soon there were three small

eggs

Which were taken care of by the guest

The bird is easy to guess

Because it doesnrsquot make a mess

With its red tail

It looked a bit frail

Between the plants green full full

Was the nest of the little Bulbul

The Art of Dharma as per Mahabharata

- Abhishek Singh [Teacher SrSecondary]

Dharma means the Duty or RighteousnessDharma is

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)Its like the Ying and Yang

Duryodhanarsquos envy for the Pandvarsquos Indraprastha and

Yudhishthirarsquos 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

rivalrsquos possessions or eternal sickness to pull the rival

downThe envy and greed are both presents even in

the

modern day world the failure

of communism was caused by

envy among citizens while 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

Dharma is not justice Its difference between Retribu-

tive Justice and forgiveness While a nation with

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 wasnrsquot happy to see me happy

and I noticed a photograph in my phone which be-

mused me ndash not mentioning how frightened I had be-

come

The picture waswashow can I explain The back-

ground was of my house In the photoI was

sleeping Butbut 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 ndash the

noises from outside noises of something creaking and

the wind forcefully blowing through the thin slit of the

window eerily

I was panic-stricken I

quickly switched my

phone off and kept it on

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 lsquoIt is Tues-

day todayrsquo 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 couldnrsquot 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 doesnrsquot 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 wonrsquot 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

- Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D

She lived under a rock

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

From being the young shy girl they saw

But all this struggle slowly had her crumbling

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 lsquolifersquo as its spell

Being myself Irsquoll uplift

Life is too short

Donrsquot be someone else

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 educationWith 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

status of women bringing

them shoulder to shoulder

with men These particular

measures constitute a pro-

cess which is known as ldquoWomen Empowermentrdquo

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 lsquoEscape and start overrsquo

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

embryos is set up they would

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

Television Pros and Cons

- Soumya Sheth

What do most of the people do these days to entertain

themselvesEveryone 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

However like every good and popular inventions tel-

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 elseItrsquos

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 inven-

tion of science in

the right and bene-

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 donrsquot

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

The night before the final examination appears to all

examinees as the night before the Battle of Waterloo

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-

tion they would be

going about their

daily rounds They

may be found in the parks cafes and restaurants talk-

ing about tips ndashtalking 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 ndashconscious 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

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 ldquoHello My friendrdquo but the elephant replied rude-

ly saying ldquoYou tiny

ant Get off my way

otherwise yoursquoll get

crushed to deathrdquo

Hearing this ant

challenged the elephant sayingrdquo My big friend I can

make you cryrdquo The ant quickly climbed onto the trunk

of the elephant and ran towards its earit 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

ldquoPlease come out of my ear I canrsquot bear the painrdquo As

soon as the ant came out the elephant apologized for

its mistake and didnrsquot tease any animals from that day

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 ldquoWomen Empowermentrdquo 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

Water is the force behind all the industry agriculture

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

without water No

water no life

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 -Aditys Patil VIII-E

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 askedwhere are

the schools There are no schools here Mother said

dont 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

The Day Irsquoll Never Forget - Saranya Sarangi VII -

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 hadnrsquot the thee

Perished laid the martyrs

Whom our motherland gave birth

I still remember that scaring sight

The scattered limbs I couldnrsquot see

My heart got filled with grief and fright

No Indian could glee

Terribly writhing the soldiers were seen

Some families languished and some

were crying

So loyal to their country they had been

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

I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom

O human Then why do you steal my FREEDOM

Binding me alone in the cage makes me sad

Donrsquot you know caging a bird is bad

Looking at the sky

I wish I could fly

I never disturb you

I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom

O human Then why do you steal my

FREEDOM

Summers in India - Saranya Sarangi VIII

A hot season beginning from April till May is what we

call summer And thatrsquos the basic rule in India But

thatrsquos 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 donrsquot 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-

dents can join different aca-

demic and co-curricular

courses to improve them-

selves Many children even spend time with their fami-

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 lsquoSummers in Indiarsquo

Exams are good or bad

- Nupoor Teli VIIIndashI

In my humble opinionexams are apressure on the stu-

dents They are forced to study and score good

markswhich 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 studybut 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

-daysthe main reason for studying is gaining marks If

there are no marksno career andno success This is the

mindset of 70 people of the worldespecially 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-

verthere are projectssubject-enrichment activi-

tieschapter test sfter every topicnotebookfile submis

sion etcAnd as acherry on top

of the cakewe have the semes-

ter exams of eighty marks as

well What all will the students

do And even if any extra-

curricular activities are being learntthen more extra

studies Just studystudy 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 notThey shouldnt be pressurized for

their marksbut 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 dont pressurize

students for what they dont likeand encourage them in

what they do After allthey 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

Never accept less than best

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 magicalhellip

Life is so magicalhellip

Humility -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D

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 personrsquos 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 personrsquos 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

canrsquot 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 yoursquore not strong enough to

stand up for yourself They think you surrender in-

stead of protesting They will despise and scorn you

but they donrsquot know that you take pleasure in what

you do because they havenrsquot experienced that kind of

joy

So if you do have humility donrsquot 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

Mom -Tanvi Sawant VII-C

Oh mom I came to this beautiful world just because

of youhellip

Mom what would I do without you

Oh mom there are thorns on the way

But you manage to get me awayhellip

Oh mom I canrsquot say how much yoursquore to me

Mom just promise me that yoursquoll and

always be with mehellip

Oh mom this world is incomplete

without you

Just like the sky without itrsquos bright color bluehellip

Oh mom yoursquore the candle that showed the way in the

dark

My dear mom you made my life spark

OUR FUTURE EARTH - Hiya Purswani VIII-B

We all know the present condition of our environment

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 Its 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 its 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 Itrsquos 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

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 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 Itrsquos 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 donʼt

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 quoterdquo 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

And wait the unfailing gray

Oh Sad are winter nights and slow

And sad is a song thatrsquos dumb

And sad it is to lie I know

Another dawn will come

Floods and Destruction

- Nirvi Soni IV-H

India faces occurrence of floods each year in some

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

Good Morning Everyone -Vyomi ThakkarVI - H

Roaming around the ground

Wersquoll 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

-Shravya Atreya IX-D

Think before you speak

There are hearts you must please

Think before you speak

You canrsquot undo the harm done after you squeak

Think before you speak

You might have done greater harm than you might

think

Think before you speak

There are still places left for you

to seek

Think before you speak

There is a long way to go before

you sleep

Think before you speak

There are hearts you must

please

Sunrise -Anuradha Singh VII-H

GLOBAL WARMING - Adhyant Singh VII-F

Global warming refers to the steady rise in the Earthrsquos mean temperature The effect of global

warming had come into sight when polar ice caps started melting this phenomena is called ICE ndash

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 400000000000 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 Earthrsquos surface thus increasing the temperature and also

destroying the ozone layer which prevents the ultraviolet rays of the sun from reaching the earthrsquos 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 (CFCrsquoS) 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

earthrsquos doomsday we all must work together

Itrsquos not too late there is still timehellipBefore the earth ends and we whinehellipSo keep on marching and planting

greens To end Global Warming and Make our planet greenhellip

What will happen without Instagram

Again nobody was aware

I wondered why was it like so

Why is it they donrsquot know

There was one time we were

engrossed in books

Now we care more about our looks

Instagram wonrsquot give you a job

You will have to study and top

Your fellow followers wonrsquot help either

If you donrsquot have a job no one will bother

I am a tree

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

Its the night

The moon is white

When we switch off the light

What a beautiful sight

After this comes the sun bright

There is no more artificial light

This is the time to start your diet

To go for a run wearing tights

Then comes the evening when

you have snacks light

And fly a big colorful kite

or include your sibling in a pillow fight

Again comes the night

A moon which is white

We switch off the light

A beautiful sight

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 didnt 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 Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane

with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing

speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt 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-

perloops 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 itThe first Hyperloop ndash 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

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

wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-

ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities

chapter test after every topic notebookfile 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

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 lifeI fell that exams

should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate

whether the students are clear with the concepts or

not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but

should be made understand their mistakes Let them

choose their own career options on their own Help

them know what they like to study and what they want

to do in their life So dont pressurize students for

what they dont like and encourage them in what they

do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the

country

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B

Life is all about interactions You meet people and

you interact You observe them consciously or sub-

consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us

more than we even realise Some people leave a last-

ing impression on us and entirely change the course of

life for better or for worse Some people influence us

help us go further and make all the difference

I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-

tial people They have taken care of me ever since I

came into this world They are the ones who wish the

best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-

cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel

no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-

come a part of my personality They are the ones who

helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me

to be better

When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are

the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-

takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique

learning experience It has made me realise how eve-

rything they do has a reason They are the ones who

have taught me the importance of the little things in

life They are the ones who have helped me recognize

and follow my passion The very thought of them not

being a part of my life is scary to the least as without

them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am

today and whatever I have achieved is all because of

them and I am very grateful of that

Eyesight

-Aditi Shenoy VIII-F

The tired little girl went to bed

Recollecting the days bygone

Seeing them in her dreams

As the day she was born

Trying to see the world

With her little eyes

But the sun with his brightness

Wouldnt let her catch the sights

The girl still eager

And curious to see the world around her

Again opened her eyes

But her vision was blurred

Still she did not lose hope

Which flowed through her blood

Encouraging and pushing her

To see the world further

Her heart beating fast

Her enthusiasm increasing

She slowly tried to see

With her eyes continuously blinking

Starting to lose hope

She was ready to give up

But curiosity got the upper hand

And pushed her forward

With her hope again rising

and strength in her eyesight

She is finally seeing the world

With wide open eyes

Chandrayan-2 Indiarsquos Moon Mission The dream of

entire India to land on moon and become the 4th Na-

tion in the world to put its flag on the soil of moon

after USSR USA amp China

ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launched

Chandrayan-2 on 22nd July 2019 from Bengaluru

(Satish Dhawan Space Center) under the command of

ISRO chief K Shivan It consists of ORBITER

LANDER amp Lunar Rover PRAGYAN Like Chandra-

yan-1(22nd Oct2008) it was Indiarsquos indigenous moon

mission

It touched the Moon Surface on Saturday early morn-

ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-

ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-

ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of

moon it lost contact with the ground station Because

of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be

monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m

(approx) away from its assigned location near

SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still

orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange

signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it

The ORBITER which will remain active for another

12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-

owed portion of the moon for the first time in history

with the help of its high-resolution camera

The entire Nation irrespective of their field of

knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front

of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of

VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true

Indians who always dream progress and development

of their motherland But our heart never accepts this

as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement

for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-

pose of our mission

But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at

this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring

country quoting this as a big failure on part of India

blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos

money on this

Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will

be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to

this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other

nations on such missions

Further I should say that India is not new in the field

of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-

TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975

It was named after famous scientist of ancient India

ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested

for the first time the HELIOCENTRIC THEORY

(Sun at the center and all planets revolve around the

Sun) of the Solar System much earlier than ready for

New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 57

COPERNICUS as believed in the western world

Other countries might have moon on their flags but

we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is

great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are

whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-

rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is

only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the

unknown and its continual application for the benefit

of the mankind)rdquo

Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by

various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-

PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-

cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958

onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as

46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was

attempted out of which only 21 was successful

Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-

tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the

overall attempts conducted by other Nations

USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-

NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was

planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January

SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR

successfully on moon

NASA after many attempts was successful to send

first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th

July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk

on moon

Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-

clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-

SION MANGAL for our next moon mission

From Principalrsquos 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 Itrsquos 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

Our inner dialogue is the software that programs our

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

Many of us have behavior patterns today that were

programmed into our brains at a very tender age The

sad reality of life is that we continue to hear negative

information but we donrsquot 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

Dr Nicholas Correa

Executive Director amp Principal

dent today is an individual is a real person with feelings of

ldquoMicro changes in Life can bring Macro Transformationrdquo

Children should be taught to think We should help them to unfold their imaginations and give life to

their thoughts amp 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

amp the most overwhelming key to a childrsquos success is the attitude by parents by giving the space to the

child and not comparing them to others ldquoThe secret of getting ahead is getting startedrdquo 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

childrenrsquo s imagination to foster a positive learning Environment Letrsquos give them a platform to

think express ampexhibit their skills

I congratulate the editorial team for their hard work in releasing this E magazine

ldquo What you are is Godrsquos gift to you What you become is your gift to God ldquo

Language is one of Godrsquos 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-C

Your life is in your hands How to solve your life with

ease Thats always a big question in a puzzled mind

Synchronizing the answer is always necessary Elabo-

ration the next first lets understand why you get a

human life hereditarily Until and unless you have

solved the Rubiks 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 Thats

not a small value Its 70times12=etc

Now whats a shadow side of your life Its 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 dont 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 isnt easy but definitely you can

decide your life Have a success its good defeating

all sort of gratuitous emotions is better and thinking

optimistically is best Like with what the quote moti-

vatesldquoonly when you illuminate otherswithout ex-

pectation or rewardwill you truly understand how to

illuminate yourselfrdquo only remember dont 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 personrsquos 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 personrsquos life

Destiny is not unchangeable the power to do so lies in

your very hands

Savior of all Nikita V IXndash A

Our country is safe

Because of you

You protect our country today

And forever yoursquoll do

The tri-colour will glare

Because you are there

And the feelings of love with

Our country we share

Bravery in your fights

And surgical strikes

Salute to you and all

The almighty soldiers

I pledge my glory and

will always be proud of your story

Self Confidence

Anirudh Shetti VI B

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

On assembly he reported beautifully and he was the

best reporter in the assembly There are some more

other positives like positive thinking concentration

good manners being kind etc Like Theodore Roose-

velt said ldquoEach time we face fear we gain strength

courage and confidence in the doingrdquo I will conclude

my article with this quote ldquoBelieve in yourself and

you will be unstoppablerdquo

Pencil

-Aadya Agarwal V

Once I was drawing with a pencil

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 ldquoErase Eraserdquo

I lost my pencil

But it was with my friend Jencil

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 ldquopencilrsquos life is very vastrdquo

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

Taras intelligence

- Pritika Manohar kadam VIII ndashD

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 brothers

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 cant 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

Next day she gathered them and

went to her father and said you

wont help one girl (me) so can

you help us to study Her father was impressed by her

intelligenceHe 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 lsquogoodbyersquo

-Nidhi Mishra VIII-G

Together we laughed

Together we wept

Myriad fond impressions We kept

Jointly we danced like daisy

We didnrsquot bother about others

We chuckled like crazy

Concerning about the fussy was tempestuous

Together we were scintillating

We were engrossed in

Our cackles were uplifting

Something was sinister I remained keen

That gloominess was undesirable

Not you but our disunion was near

Our parting was lamentable

The distance between us was my fear

Our disunion was forthcoming

I wished I could quit it

Tears from our eyes were running

With those yet we had to split

Years had flown by

Not the echo

The ordeal to say a

And to lose a loyal oppo

My dream House

-Harshith Nair IX-B

Voila I have shifted to my new house

Away from those lizards and that cunning mouse

That was once a basic and simple house

Now canrsquot get over the whoaas and wowws

Ancient doors and artefacts with a palatial tinge

Enter and you would feel yoursquove got wings

Vintage artefacts and interiors add to the glam

quotient

A gramophone an antique

telephone that take you to an

era thatrsquos ancient

To me and my brotherrsquos surprise therersquos an excit-

ing bunk bed

Now who sleeps on the top therersquos gonna be a

bloodshed

I hate boasting but this onersquos the icing on the

cake

Let me tell you friends this was a dream all

Friendship

-Divya Johnson VIII ndash I

Friendship has no form

sometimes it makes us feel secure and warm

Sometimes leaves us cold and forlorn

and sometimes gives us the power to go on

We mistake it often for something materializing

but itrsquos free and artistic

It is hard to catch

no other virtue has its match

Indomitable Earth - Poorvi Sanu IX ndashG

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

Intestinal hurdle artwork framed

Mammals fattened by unnatural floating

Wild material machine Unseen

Where does your waste ream

What can I do

It takes more than

one It takes society

Globally to do what

needs to be done

Our footprint is mas-

sive weighty

Join Mother Earth

On our journey here and abroad

Full of disbelief and open scorn

Itrsquos 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 lsquocause guess what ldquoI AM TRAVELLING IN

THE BUMPY TRAINrdquo 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 therersquos 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

and thatrsquos what makes our

India famous and legend-

ary We also get to eat

those India-famous snacks

from all over India like lsquoShehgaon kachorirsquo lsquo Kol-

hapuri misalrsquo 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

Control Yourself - Suvan Lokhande IX-A

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 TV or maybe food

ldquoControl Yourself Kidrdquo ldquoDone not more than

thisrdquo ldquoControlrdquo such types of sentences maybe

familiar to you which must be said by your mom dad

teachers and your elders But thatrsquos exactly true what

they say I know that itrsquos 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

And these changes can definitely make you proudAt

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 lifehelliphellipControl Yourself amp Be the

Change

Anger Management

- Sfurti Kumbhar IX-A

AngerhellipThe 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 isnrsquot Itrsquos 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 Irsquom trying to get it

under control Sort of

Impossible right Managing anger sounds easy You

can distract yourself from the situation Permanently

fix an imaginary meter in your brain which indicates

anger level My meter is always near 50-60 When I

say that Irsquom 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 ldquodrink cool water to cool down your warm

headrdquo or breathe Listen to your fav music Or ask

yourself this simple question

ldquoIs getting angry at this person or screaming at them

going to improve my day in any way whatsoeverrdquo

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

ldquofuse blowing offrdquo 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

The voice is so pretty

indeed gives you a sense of achievement when you

reach home without getting drained by the gushing

water the automobiles blow on youWell 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 600 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

I after a while made up my

mind I will set out and go on

my ownI 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 its

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 Moms scolding

Yes because I had stepped inside a big puddle

Soldier - Marisha Nath VIII-C

Dear soldier you sacrifice yourself for your nation

But people think itrsquos your job not your passion

You are a warrior

You are our savior

You are in the list of Godrsquos 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

Sati widows shravana shraddha managala gaur

akshaya tritiya child marriage karva chauthhellip

etcetera etcetera etceteraWhat do these words re-

mind you of Yep Thatrsquos right These are all systems

for women

These are sacrifices and systems that women perform

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 processMen work approximately 6 ndash 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 donrsquot

To all the men and boys reading this I have a few

questions for youDo 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 ndash 21

bones at once Did men know this And yet they con-

sider women weak They think that because wersquore

women we cannot thinkIf we cannot think who is

Marie Curie If we are weak who delivers kids

Women arenrsquot any different They are children of

gods They arenrsquot your personal secretaries they are

your partnersOnly 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

ishellipabsolutely nothing

Is this right

Submission to Peer Pressure -Akshat Mishra IX -G

ldquoHey Mohan When did you get this new iPhone-Xrdquo

we asked him in surprise as we knew the financial

condition of his family ldquoMy cousin gifted it to merdquo

quipped Mohan sheepishly All the boys resumed

playing but I knew there was something amissPeer

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

someonersquos 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

arenrsquot 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 arenrsquot 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

ldquoFreedom of Press in Democracyrdquo

- 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

about news from vari-

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

Even if the media subsequently correct a statement the

damage done may be irreparable Hence the media should

take care to carefully investigate any news item before

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

New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 22

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 priceAlso 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

democracySome newspapers espouse the cause of

only one community

ldquoThey do not judge problems on their merits They

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 worldrsquos 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

We all know the present condition of our environment

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 Its 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 beauti-

ful earth and so itrsquos 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 trsquos

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 rdquoEveryone

has a good and a bad side in his life What matters is

the part we choose to act upon rdquoThis is an excellent

thought said by Sirius Black in the movie Harry Pot-

ter Itrsquos 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 donrsquot 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

- Heet Shripal Kankariya VII-G

It is hard to recall the past

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

Dont lose ittry and endeavor

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

With all the night strength and gust

Preserving nature is must

Mother Nature has been so lucrative

Letrsquos do something to save her

Something new and creativersquo

Let us get pollution under control

Before mother Earth weeps and implores

Let clean air sweep

Both high and deep

Let the tiny piece of land

Be clean tidy and neat

Let uncontaminated water be

So that everything doesnrsquot

end like the sea

Let the tree stand

lsquoCause it is more alluring than the seven colour band

Without being loquacious

Mother nature is indeed precious

The Little girl

- Bhumika Sharma VI-F

I found in a garage

Near the carriage

A tiny little baby girl

She had cute blue eyes

Which were very small in size

And had beautiful hair with a cute little curl

I wonder why she was there

And she came fromhellipwhere

I then asked a person passing on the road

If he knew the merciless who

kept her near the horses and

toads

The person replied ldquoWho cares

O Madamhellip

hellipFor a girl who is denied by her

dad and mum

I felt very sad and cried

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 ndashD

It was rainy season

At home came a pigeon

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 didnrsquot fly away

Because I took care

Soon there were three small

eggs

Which were taken care of by the guest

The bird is easy to guess

Because it doesnrsquot make a mess

With its red tail

It looked a bit frail

Between the plants green full full

Was the nest of the little Bulbul

The Art of Dharma as per Mahabharata

- Abhishek Singh [Teacher SrSecondary]

Dharma means the Duty or RighteousnessDharma is

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)Its like the Ying and Yang

Duryodhanarsquos envy for the Pandvarsquos Indraprastha and

Yudhishthirarsquos 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

rivalrsquos possessions or eternal sickness to pull the rival

downThe envy and greed are both presents even in

the

modern day world the failure

of communism was caused by

envy among citizens while 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

Dharma is not justice Its difference between Retribu-

tive Justice and forgiveness While a nation with

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 wasnrsquot happy to see me happy

and I noticed a photograph in my phone which be-

mused me ndash not mentioning how frightened I had be-

come

The picture waswashow can I explain The back-

ground was of my house In the photoI was

sleeping Butbut 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 ndash the

noises from outside noises of something creaking and

the wind forcefully blowing through the thin slit of the

window eerily

I was panic-stricken I

quickly switched my

phone off and kept it on

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 lsquoIt is Tues-

day todayrsquo 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 couldnrsquot 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 doesnrsquot 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 wonrsquot 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

- Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D

She lived under a rock

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

From being the young shy girl they saw

But all this struggle slowly had her crumbling

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 lsquolifersquo as its spell

Being myself Irsquoll uplift

Life is too short

Donrsquot be someone else

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 educationWith 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

status of women bringing

them shoulder to shoulder

with men These particular

measures constitute a pro-

cess which is known as ldquoWomen Empowermentrdquo

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 lsquoEscape and start overrsquo

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

embryos is set up they would

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

Television Pros and Cons

- Soumya Sheth

What do most of the people do these days to entertain

themselvesEveryone 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

However like every good and popular inventions tel-

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 elseItrsquos

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 inven-

tion of science in

the right and bene-

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 donrsquot

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

The night before the final examination appears to all

examinees as the night before the Battle of Waterloo

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-

tion they would be

going about their

daily rounds They

may be found in the parks cafes and restaurants talk-

ing about tips ndashtalking 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 ndashconscious 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

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 ldquoHello My friendrdquo but the elephant replied rude-

ly saying ldquoYou tiny

ant Get off my way

otherwise yoursquoll get

crushed to deathrdquo

Hearing this ant

challenged the elephant sayingrdquo My big friend I can

make you cryrdquo The ant quickly climbed onto the trunk

of the elephant and ran towards its earit 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

ldquoPlease come out of my ear I canrsquot bear the painrdquo As

soon as the ant came out the elephant apologized for

its mistake and didnrsquot tease any animals from that day

nevolence they are bounded

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 ldquoWomen Empowermentrdquo 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

Water is the force behind all the industry agriculture

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

without water No

water no life

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 -Aditys Patil VIII-E

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 askedwhere are

the schools There are no schools here Mother said

dont 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

The Day Irsquoll Never Forget - Saranya Sarangi VII -

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 hadnrsquot the thee

Perished laid the martyrs

Whom our motherland gave birth

I still remember that scaring sight

The scattered limbs I couldnrsquot see

My heart got filled with grief and fright

No Indian could glee

Terribly writhing the soldiers were seen

Some families languished and some

were crying

So loyal to their country they had been

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

I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom

O human Then why do you steal my FREEDOM

Binding me alone in the cage makes me sad

Donrsquot you know caging a bird is bad

Looking at the sky

I wish I could fly

I never disturb you

I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom

O human Then why do you steal my

FREEDOM

Summers in India - Saranya Sarangi VIII

A hot season beginning from April till May is what we

call summer And thatrsquos the basic rule in India But

thatrsquos 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 donrsquot 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-

dents can join different aca-

demic and co-curricular

courses to improve them-

selves Many children even spend time with their fami-

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 lsquoSummers in Indiarsquo

Exams are good or bad

- Nupoor Teli VIIIndashI

In my humble opinionexams are apressure on the stu-

dents They are forced to study and score good

markswhich 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 studybut 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

-daysthe main reason for studying is gaining marks If

there are no marksno career andno success This is the

mindset of 70 people of the worldespecially 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-

verthere are projectssubject-enrichment activi-

tieschapter test sfter every topicnotebookfile submis

sion etcAnd as acherry on top

of the cakewe have the semes-

ter exams of eighty marks as

well What all will the students

do And even if any extra-

curricular activities are being learntthen more extra

studies Just studystudy 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 notThey shouldnt be pressurized for

their marksbut 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 dont pressurize

students for what they dont likeand encourage them in

what they do After allthey 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

Never accept less than best

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 magicalhellip

Life is so magicalhellip

Humility -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D

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 personrsquos 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 personrsquos 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

canrsquot 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 yoursquore not strong enough to

stand up for yourself They think you surrender in-

stead of protesting They will despise and scorn you

but they donrsquot know that you take pleasure in what

you do because they havenrsquot experienced that kind of

joy

So if you do have humility donrsquot 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

Mom -Tanvi Sawant VII-C

Oh mom I came to this beautiful world just because

of youhellip

Mom what would I do without you

Oh mom there are thorns on the way

But you manage to get me awayhellip

Oh mom I canrsquot say how much yoursquore to me

Mom just promise me that yoursquoll and

always be with mehellip

Oh mom this world is incomplete

without you

Just like the sky without itrsquos bright color bluehellip

Oh mom yoursquore the candle that showed the way in the

dark

My dear mom you made my life spark

OUR FUTURE EARTH - Hiya Purswani VIII-B

We all know the present condition of our environment

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 Its 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 its 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 Itrsquos 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

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 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 Itrsquos 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 donʼt

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 quoterdquo 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

And wait the unfailing gray

Oh Sad are winter nights and slow

And sad is a song thatrsquos dumb

And sad it is to lie I know

Another dawn will come

Floods and Destruction

- Nirvi Soni IV-H

India faces occurrence of floods each year in some

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

Good Morning Everyone -Vyomi ThakkarVI - H

Wersquoll 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

-Shravya Atreya IX-D

Think before you speak

There are hearts you must please

Think before you speak

You canrsquot undo the harm done after you squeak

Think before you speak

You might have done greater harm than you might

think

Think before you speak

There are still places left for you

to seek

Think before you speak

There is a long way to go before

you sleep

Think before you speak

There are hearts you must

please

GLOBAL WARMING - Adhyant Singh VII-F

Global warming refers to the steady rise in the Earthrsquos mean temperature The effect of global

warming had come into sight when polar ice caps started melting this phenomena is called ICE ndash

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 400000000000 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 Earthrsquos surface thus increasing the temperature and also

destroying the ozone layer which prevents the ultraviolet rays of the sun from reaching the earthrsquos 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 (CFCrsquoS) 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

earthrsquos doomsday we all must work together

Itrsquos not too late there is still timehellipBefore the earth ends and we whinehellipSo keep on marching and planting

greens To end Global Warming and Make our planet greenhellip

The Night - Matangi Rajesh VII-D

Its the night

The moon is white

When we switch off the light

What a beautiful sight

After this comes the sun bright

There is no more artificial light

This is the time to start your diet

To go for a run wearing tights

Then comes the evening when

you have snacks light

And fly a big colorful kite

or include your sibling in a pillow fight

Again comes the night

A moon which is white

We switch off the light

A beautiful sight

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 didnt 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 Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane

with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing

speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt 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-

perloops 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 itThe first Hyperloop ndash 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

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

wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-

ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities

chapter test after every topic notebookfile 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

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 lifeI fell that exams

should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate

whether the students are clear with the concepts or

not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but

should be made understand their mistakes Let them

choose their own career options on their own Help

them know what they like to study and what they want

to do in their life So dont pressurize students for

what they dont like and encourage them in what they

do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the

country

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B

Life is all about interactions You meet people and

you interact You observe them consciously or sub-

consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us

more than we even realise Some people leave a last-

ing impression on us and entirely change the course of

life for better or for worse Some people influence us

help us go further and make all the difference

I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-

tial people They have taken care of me ever since I

came into this world They are the ones who wish the

best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-

cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel

no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-

come a part of my personality They are the ones who

helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me

to be better

When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are

the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-

takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique

learning experience It has made me realise how eve-

rything they do has a reason They are the ones who

have taught me the importance of the little things in

life They are the ones who have helped me recognize

and follow my passion The very thought of them not

being a part of my life is scary to the least as without

them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am

today and whatever I have achieved is all because of

them and I am very grateful of that

Eyesight

-Aditi Shenoy VIII-F

The tired little girl went to bed

Recollecting the days bygone

Seeing them in her dreams

As the day she was born

Trying to see the world

With her little eyes

But the sun with his brightness

Wouldnt let her catch the sights

The girl still eager

And curious to see the world around her

Again opened her eyes

But her vision was blurred

Still she did not lose hope

Which flowed through her blood

Encouraging and pushing her

To see the world further

Her heart beating fast

Her enthusiasm increasing

She slowly tried to see

With her eyes continuously blinking

Starting to lose hope

She was ready to give up

But curiosity got the upper hand

And pushed her forward

With her hope again rising

and strength in her eyesight

She is finally seeing the world

With wide open eyes

monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m

(approx) away from its assigned location near

SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still

orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange

signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it

The ORBITER which will remain active for another

12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-

owed portion of the moon for the first time in history

with the help of its high-resolution camera

The entire Nation irrespective of their field of

knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front

of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of

VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true

Indians who always dream progress and development

of their motherland But our heart never accepts this

as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement

for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-

pose of our mission

But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at

this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring

country quoting this as a big failure on part of India

blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos

money on this

Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will

be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to

this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other

nations on such missions

Further I should say that India is not new in the field

of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-

TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975

It was named after famous scientist of ancient India

ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested

for the first time the HELIOCENTRIC THEORY

(Sun at the center and all planets revolve around the

Sun) of the Solar System much earlier than ready for

New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 57

COPERNICUS as believed in the western world

Other countries might have moon on their flags but

we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is

great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are

whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-

rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is

only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the

unknown and its continual application for the benefit

of the mankind)rdquo

Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by

various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-

PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-

cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958

onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as

46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was

attempted out of which only 21 was successful

Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-

tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the

overall attempts conducted by other Nations

USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-

NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was

planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January

SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR

successfully on moon

NASA after many attempts was successful to send

first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th

July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk

on moon

Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-

clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-

SION MANGAL for our next moon mission

From Principalrsquos 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 Itrsquos 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

Our inner dialogue is the software that programs our

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

Many of us have behavior patterns today that were

programmed into our brains at a very tender age The

sad reality of life is that we continue to hear negative

information but we donrsquot 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

Dr Nicholas Correa

Executive Director amp Principal

ldquoMicro changes in Life can bring Macro Transformationrdquo

Children should be taught to think We should help them to unfold their imaginations and give life to

their thoughts amp 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

amp the most overwhelming key to a childrsquos success is the attitude by parents by giving the space to the

child and not comparing them to others ldquoThe secret of getting ahead is getting startedrdquo 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

childrenrsquo s imagination to foster a positive learning Environment Letrsquos give them a platform to

think express ampexhibit their skills

I congratulate the editorial team for their hard work in releasing this E magazine

ldquo What you are is Godrsquos gift to you What you become is your gift to God ldquo

Language is one of Godrsquos 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-C

Your life is in your hands How to solve your life with

ease Thats always a big question in a puzzled mind

Synchronizing the answer is always necessary Elabo-

ration the next first lets understand why you get a

human life hereditarily Until and unless you have

solved the Rubiks 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 Thats

not a small value Its 70times12=etc

Now whats a shadow side of your life Its 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 dont 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 isnt easy but definitely you can

decide your life Have a success its good defeating

all sort of gratuitous emotions is better and thinking

optimistically is best Like with what the quote moti-

vatesldquoonly when you illuminate otherswithout ex-

pectation or rewardwill you truly understand how to

illuminate yourselfrdquo only remember dont 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 personrsquos 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 personrsquos life

Destiny is not unchangeable the power to do so lies in

your very hands

Savior of all Nikita V IXndash A

Our country is safe

Because of you

You protect our country today

And forever yoursquoll do

The tri-colour will glare

Because you are there

And the feelings of love with

Our country we share

Bravery in your fights

And surgical strikes

Salute to you and all

The almighty soldiers

I pledge my glory and

will always be proud of your story

Self Confidence

Anirudh Shetti VI B

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

On assembly he reported beautifully and he was the

best reporter in the assembly There are some more

other positives like positive thinking concentration

good manners being kind etc Like Theodore Roose-

velt said ldquoEach time we face fear we gain strength

courage and confidence in the doingrdquo I will conclude

my article with this quote ldquoBelieve in yourself and

you will be unstoppablerdquo

Pencil

-Aadya Agarwal V

Once I was drawing with a pencil

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 ldquoErase Eraserdquo

I lost my pencil

But it was with my friend Jencil

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 ldquopencilrsquos life is very vastrdquo

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

Taras intelligence

- Pritika Manohar kadam VIII ndashD

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 brothers

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 cant 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

Next day she gathered them and

went to her father and said you

wont help one girl (me) so can

you help us to study Her father was impressed by her

intelligenceHe 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 lsquogoodbyersquo

-Nidhi Mishra VIII-G

Together we laughed

Together we wept

Myriad fond impressions We kept

Jointly we danced like daisy

We didnrsquot bother about others

We chuckled like crazy

Concerning about the fussy was tempestuous

Together we were scintillating

We were engrossed in

Our cackles were uplifting

Something was sinister I remained keen

That gloominess was undesirable

Not you but our disunion was near

Our parting was lamentable

The distance between us was my fear

Our disunion was forthcoming

I wished I could quit it

Tears from our eyes were running

With those yet we had to split

Years had flown by

Not the echo

The ordeal to say a

And to lose a loyal oppo

My dream House

-Harshith Nair IX-B

Voila I have shifted to my new house

Away from those lizards and that cunning mouse

That was once a basic and simple house

Now canrsquot get over the whoaas and wowws

Ancient doors and artefacts with a palatial tinge

Enter and you would feel yoursquove got wings

Vintage artefacts and interiors add to the glam

quotient

A gramophone an antique

telephone that take you to an

era thatrsquos ancient

To me and my brotherrsquos surprise therersquos an excit-

ing bunk bed

Now who sleeps on the top therersquos gonna be a

bloodshed

I hate boasting but this onersquos the icing on the

cake

Let me tell you friends this was a dream all

Friendship

-Divya Johnson VIII ndash I

Friendship has no form

sometimes it makes us feel secure and warm

Sometimes leaves us cold and forlorn

and sometimes gives us the power to go on

We mistake it often for something materializing

but itrsquos free and artistic

It is hard to catch

no other virtue has its match

Indomitable Earth - Poorvi Sanu IX ndashG

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

Intestinal hurdle artwork framed

Mammals fattened by unnatural floating

Wild material machine Unseen

Where does your waste ream

What can I do

It takes more than

one It takes society

Globally to do what

needs to be done

Our footprint is mas-

sive weighty

Join Mother Earth

On our journey here and abroad

Full of disbelief and open scorn

Itrsquos 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 lsquocause guess what ldquoI AM TRAVELLING IN

THE BUMPY TRAINrdquo 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 therersquos 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

and thatrsquos what makes our

India famous and legend-

ary We also get to eat

those India-famous snacks

from all over India like lsquoShehgaon kachorirsquo lsquo Kol-

hapuri misalrsquo 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

Control Yourself - Suvan Lokhande IX-A

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 TV or maybe food

ldquoControl Yourself Kidrdquo ldquoDone not more than

thisrdquo ldquoControlrdquo such types of sentences maybe

familiar to you which must be said by your mom dad

teachers and your elders But thatrsquos exactly true what

they say I know that itrsquos 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

And these changes can definitely make you proudAt

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 lifehelliphellipControl Yourself amp Be the

Change

Anger Management

- Sfurti Kumbhar IX-A

AngerhellipThe 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 isnrsquot Itrsquos 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 Irsquom trying to get it

under control Sort of

Impossible right Managing anger sounds easy You

can distract yourself from the situation Permanently

fix an imaginary meter in your brain which indicates

anger level My meter is always near 50-60 When I

say that Irsquom 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 ldquodrink cool water to cool down your warm

headrdquo or breathe Listen to your fav music Or ask

yourself this simple question

ldquoIs getting angry at this person or screaming at them

going to improve my day in any way whatsoeverrdquo

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

ldquofuse blowing offrdquo 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

Monsoon -Isha Bhanushali VIII

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 youWell 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 600 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

I after a while made up my

mind I will set out and go on

my ownI 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 its

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 Moms scolding

Yes because I had stepped inside a big puddle

Soldier - Marisha Nath VIII-C

Dear soldier you sacrifice yourself for your nation

But people think itrsquos your job not your passion

You are a warrior

You are our savior

You are in the list of Godrsquos 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

Sati widows shravana shraddha managala gaur

akshaya tritiya child marriage karva chauthhellip

etcetera etcetera etceteraWhat do these words re-

mind you of Yep Thatrsquos right These are all systems

for women

These are sacrifices and systems that women perform

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 processMen work approximately 6 ndash 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 donrsquot

To all the men and boys reading this I have a few

questions for youDo 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 ndash 21

bones at once Did men know this And yet they con-

sider women weak They think that because wersquore

women we cannot thinkIf we cannot think who is

Marie Curie If we are weak who delivers kids

Women arenrsquot any different They are children of

gods They arenrsquot your personal secretaries they are

your partnersOnly 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

ishellipabsolutely nothing

Is this right

Submission to Peer Pressure -Akshat Mishra IX -G

ldquoHey Mohan When did you get this new iPhone-Xrdquo

we asked him in surprise as we knew the financial

condition of his family ldquoMy cousin gifted it to merdquo

quipped Mohan sheepishly All the boys resumed

playing but I knew there was something amissPeer

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

someonersquos 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

arenrsquot 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 arenrsquot 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

ldquoFreedom of Press in Democracyrdquo

- 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

about news from vari-

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

Even if the media subsequently correct a statement the

damage done may be irreparable Hence the media should

take care to carefully investigate any news item before

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

New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 22

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 priceAlso 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

democracySome newspapers espouse the cause of

only one community

ldquoThey do not judge problems on their merits They

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 worldrsquos 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

We all know the present condition of our environment

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 Its 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 beauti-

ful earth and so itrsquos 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 trsquos

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 rdquoEveryone

has a good and a bad side in his life What matters is

the part we choose to act upon rdquoThis is an excellent

thought said by Sirius Black in the movie Harry Pot-

ter Itrsquos 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 donrsquot 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

- Heet Shripal Kankariya VII-G

It is hard to recall the past

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

Dont lose ittry and endeavor

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

With all the night strength and gust

Preserving nature is must

Mother Nature has been so lucrative

Letrsquos do something to save her

Something new and creativersquo

Let us get pollution under control

Before mother Earth weeps and implores

Let clean air sweep

Both high and deep

Let the tiny piece of land

Be clean tidy and neat

Let uncontaminated water be

So that everything doesnrsquot

end like the sea

Let the tree stand

lsquoCause it is more alluring than the seven colour band

Without being loquacious

Mother nature is indeed precious

The Little girl

- Bhumika Sharma VI-F

I found in a garage

Near the carriage

A tiny little baby girl

She had cute blue eyes

Which were very small in size

And had beautiful hair with a cute little curl

I wonder why she was there

And she came fromhellipwhere

I then asked a person passing on the road

If he knew the merciless who

kept her near the horses and

toads

The person replied ldquoWho cares

O Madamhellip

hellipFor a girl who is denied by her

dad and mum

I felt very sad and cried

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 ndashD

It was rainy season

At home came a pigeon

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 didnrsquot fly away

Because I took care

Soon there were three small

eggs

Which were taken care of by the guest

The bird is easy to guess

Because it doesnrsquot make a mess

With its red tail

It looked a bit frail

Between the plants green full full

Was the nest of the little Bulbul

The Art of Dharma as per Mahabharata

- Abhishek Singh [Teacher SrSecondary]

Dharma means the Duty or RighteousnessDharma is

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)Its like the Ying and Yang

Duryodhanarsquos envy for the Pandvarsquos Indraprastha and

Yudhishthirarsquos 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

rivalrsquos possessions or eternal sickness to pull the rival

downThe envy and greed are both presents even in

the

modern day world the failure

of communism was caused by

envy among citizens while 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

Dharma is not justice Its difference between Retribu-

tive Justice and forgiveness While a nation with

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 wasnrsquot happy to see me happy

and I noticed a photograph in my phone which be-

mused me ndash not mentioning how frightened I had be-

come

The picture waswashow can I explain The back-

ground was of my house In the photoI was

sleeping Butbut 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 ndash the

noises from outside noises of something creaking and

the wind forcefully blowing through the thin slit of the

window eerily

I was panic-stricken I

quickly switched my

phone off and kept it on

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 lsquoIt is Tues-

day todayrsquo 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 couldnrsquot 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 doesnrsquot 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 wonrsquot 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

- Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D

She lived under a rock

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

From being the young shy girl they saw

But all this struggle slowly had her crumbling

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 lsquolifersquo as its spell

Being myself Irsquoll uplift

Life is too short

Donrsquot be someone else

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 educationWith 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

status of women bringing

them shoulder to shoulder

with men These particular

measures constitute a pro-

cess which is known as ldquoWomen Empowermentrdquo

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 lsquoEscape and start overrsquo

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

embryos is set up they would

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

Television Pros and Cons

- Soumya Sheth

What do most of the people do these days to entertain

themselvesEveryone 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

However like every good and popular inventions tel-

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 elseItrsquos

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 inven-

tion of science in

the right and bene-

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 donrsquot

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

The night before the final examination appears to all

examinees as the night before the Battle of Waterloo

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-

tion they would be

going about their

daily rounds They

may be found in the parks cafes and restaurants talk-

ing about tips ndashtalking 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 ndashconscious 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

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 ldquoHello My friendrdquo but the elephant replied rude-

ly saying ldquoYou tiny

ant Get off my way

otherwise yoursquoll get

crushed to deathrdquo

Hearing this ant

challenged the elephant sayingrdquo My big friend I can

make you cryrdquo The ant quickly climbed onto the trunk

of the elephant and ran towards its earit 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

ldquoPlease come out of my ear I canrsquot bear the painrdquo As

soon as the ant came out the elephant apologized for

its mistake and didnrsquot tease any animals from that day

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 ldquoWomen Empowermentrdquo 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

Water is the force behind all the industry agriculture

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

without water No

water no life

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 -Aditys Patil VIII-E

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 askedwhere are

the schools There are no schools here Mother said

dont 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

The Day Irsquoll Never Forget - Saranya Sarangi VII -

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 hadnrsquot the thee

Perished laid the martyrs

Whom our motherland gave birth

I still remember that scaring sight

The scattered limbs I couldnrsquot see

My heart got filled with grief and fright

No Indian could glee

Terribly writhing the soldiers were seen

Some families languished and some

were crying

So loyal to their country they had been

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

I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom

O human Then why do you steal my FREEDOM

Binding me alone in the cage makes me sad

Donrsquot you know caging a bird is bad

Looking at the sky

I wish I could fly

I never disturb you

I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom

O human Then why do you steal my

FREEDOM

Summers in India - Saranya Sarangi VIII

A hot season beginning from April till May is what we

call summer And thatrsquos the basic rule in India But

thatrsquos 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 donrsquot 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-

dents can join different aca-

demic and co-curricular

courses to improve them-

selves Many children even spend time with their fami-

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 lsquoSummers in Indiarsquo

Exams are good or bad

- Nupoor Teli VIIIndashI

In my humble opinionexams are apressure on the stu-

dents They are forced to study and score good

markswhich 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 studybut 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

-daysthe main reason for studying is gaining marks If

there are no marksno career andno success This is the

mindset of 70 people of the worldespecially 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-

verthere are projectssubject-enrichment activi-

tieschapter test sfter every topicnotebookfile submis

sion etcAnd as acherry on top

of the cakewe have the semes-

ter exams of eighty marks as

well What all will the students

do And even if any extra-

curricular activities are being learntthen more extra

studies Just studystudy 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 notThey shouldnt be pressurized for

their marksbut 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 dont pressurize

students for what they dont likeand encourage them in

what they do After allthey 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

Never accept less than best

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 magicalhellip

Life is so magicalhellip

Humility -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D

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 personrsquos 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 personrsquos 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

canrsquot 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 yoursquore not strong enough to

stand up for yourself They think you surrender in-

stead of protesting They will despise and scorn you

but they donrsquot know that you take pleasure in what

you do because they havenrsquot experienced that kind of

joy

So if you do have humility donrsquot 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

Mom -Tanvi Sawant VII-C

Oh mom I came to this beautiful world just because

of youhellip

Mom what would I do without you

Oh mom there are thorns on the way

But you manage to get me awayhellip

Oh mom I canrsquot say how much yoursquore to me

Mom just promise me that yoursquoll and

always be with mehellip

Oh mom this world is incomplete

without you

Just like the sky without itrsquos bright color bluehellip

Oh mom yoursquore the candle that showed the way in the

dark

My dear mom you made my life spark

OUR FUTURE EARTH - Hiya Purswani VIII-B

We all know the present condition of our environment

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 Its 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 its 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 Itrsquos 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

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 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 Itrsquos 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 donʼt

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 quoterdquo 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

And wait the unfailing gray

Oh Sad are winter nights and slow

And sad is a song thatrsquos dumb

And sad it is to lie I know

Another dawn will come

Floods and Destruction

- Nirvi Soni IV-H

India faces occurrence of floods each year in some

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

Good Morning Everyone -Vyomi ThakkarVI - H

Wersquoll surely find the crown

Up on the chilled mountain

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

There are hearts you must please

Think before you speak

You canrsquot undo the harm done after you squeak

Think before you speak

You might have done greater harm than you might

Think before you speak

There are still places left for you

to seek

Think before you speak

There is a long way to go before

you sleep

Think before you speak

There are hearts you must

please

GLOBAL WARMING - Adhyant Singh VII-F

Global warming refers to the steady rise in the Earthrsquos mean temperature The effect of global

warming had come into sight when polar ice caps started melting this phenomena is called ICE ndash

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 400000000000 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 Earthrsquos surface thus increasing the temperature and also

destroying the ozone layer which prevents the ultraviolet rays of the sun from reaching the earthrsquos 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 (CFCrsquoS) 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

earthrsquos doomsday we all must work together

Itrsquos not too late there is still timehellipBefore the earth ends and we whinehellipSo keep on marching and planting

greens To end Global Warming and Make our planet greenhellip

The Night - Matangi Rajesh VII-D

Its the night

The moon is white

When we switch off the light

What a beautiful sight

After this comes the sun bright

There is no more artificial light

This is the time to start your diet

To go for a run wearing tights

Then comes the evening when

you have snacks light

And fly a big colorful kite

or include your sibling in a pillow fight

Again comes the night

A moon which is white

We switch off the light

A beautiful sight

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 didnt 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 Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane

with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing

speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt 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-

perloops 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 itThe first Hyperloop ndash 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

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

wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-

ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities

chapter test after every topic notebookfile 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

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 lifeI fell that exams

should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate

whether the students are clear with the concepts or

not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but

should be made understand their mistakes Let them

choose their own career options on their own Help

them know what they like to study and what they want

to do in their life So dont pressurize students for

what they dont like and encourage them in what they

do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the

country

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B

Life is all about interactions You meet people and

you interact You observe them consciously or sub-

consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us

more than we even realise Some people leave a last-

ing impression on us and entirely change the course of

life for better or for worse Some people influence us

help us go further and make all the difference

I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-

tial people They have taken care of me ever since I

came into this world They are the ones who wish the

best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-

cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel

no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-

come a part of my personality They are the ones who

helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me

to be better

When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are

the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-

takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique

learning experience It has made me realise how eve-

rything they do has a reason They are the ones who

have taught me the importance of the little things in

life They are the ones who have helped me recognize

and follow my passion The very thought of them not

being a part of my life is scary to the least as without

them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am

today and whatever I have achieved is all because of

them and I am very grateful of that

Eyesight

-Aditi Shenoy VIII-F

The tired little girl went to bed

Recollecting the days bygone

Seeing them in her dreams

As the day she was born

Trying to see the world

With her little eyes

But the sun with his brightness

Wouldnt let her catch the sights

The girl still eager

And curious to see the world around her

Again opened her eyes

But her vision was blurred

Still she did not lose hope

Which flowed through her blood

Encouraging and pushing her

To see the world further

Her heart beating fast

Her enthusiasm increasing

She slowly tried to see

With her eyes continuously blinking

Starting to lose hope

She was ready to give up

But curiosity got the upper hand

And pushed her forward

With her hope again rising

and strength in her eyesight

She is finally seeing the world

With wide open eyes

Chandrayan-2 Indiarsquos Moon Mission The dream of

entire India to land on moon and become the 4th Na-

tion in the world to put its flag on the soil of moon

after USSR USA amp China

ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launched

Chandrayan-2 on 22nd July 2019 from Bengaluru

(Satish Dhawan Space Center) under the command of

ISRO chief K Shivan It consists of ORBITER

LANDER amp Lunar Rover PRAGYAN Like Chandra-

yan-1(22nd Oct2008) it was Indiarsquos indigenous moon

mission

It touched the Moon Surface on Saturday early morn-

ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-

ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-

ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of

moon it lost contact with the ground station Because

of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be

monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m

(approx) away from its assigned location near

SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still

orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange

signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it

The ORBITER which will remain active for another

12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-

owed portion of the moon for the first time in history

with the help of its high-resolution camera

The entire Nation irrespective of their field of

knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front

of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of

VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true

Indians who always dream progress and development

of their motherland But our heart never accepts this

as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement

for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-

pose of our mission

But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at

this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring

country quoting this as a big failure on part of India

blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos

money on this

Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will

be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to

this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other

nations on such missions

Further I should say that India is not new in the field

of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-

TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975

It was named after famous scientist of ancient India

ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested

for the first time the HELIOCENTRIC THEORY

(Sun at the center and all planets revolve around the

Sun) of the Solar System much earlier than ready for

New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 57

COPERNICUS as believed in the western world

Other countries might have moon on their flags but

we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is

great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are

whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-

rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is

only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the

unknown and its continual application for the benefit

of the mankind)rdquo

Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by

various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-

PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-

cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958

onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as

46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was

attempted out of which only 21 was successful

Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-

tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the

overall attempts conducted by other Nations

USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-

NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was

planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January

SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR

successfully on moon

NASA after many attempts was successful to send

first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th

July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk

on moon

Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-

clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-

SION MANGAL for our next moon mission

From Principalrsquos 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 Itrsquos 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

Our inner dialogue is the software that programs our

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

Many of us have behavior patterns today that were

programmed into our brains at a very tender age The

sad reality of life is that we continue to hear negative

information but we donrsquot 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

ldquoMicro changes in Life can bring Macro Transformationrdquo

Children should be taught to think We should help them to unfold their imaginations and give life to

their thoughts amp 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

amp the most overwhelming key to a childrsquos success is the attitude by parents by giving the space to the

child and not comparing them to others ldquoThe secret of getting ahead is getting startedrdquo 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

childrenrsquo s imagination to foster a positive learning Environment Letrsquos give them a platform to

think express ampexhibit their skills

I congratulate the editorial team for their hard work in releasing this E magazine

ldquo What you are is Godrsquos gift to you What you become is your gift to God ldquo

Language is one of Godrsquos 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

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-C

Your life is in your hands How to solve your life with

ease Thats always a big question in a puzzled mind

Synchronizing the answer is always necessary Elabo-

ration the next first lets understand why you get a

human life hereditarily Until and unless you have

solved the Rubiks 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 Thats

not a small value Its 70times12=etc

Now whats a shadow side of your life Its 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 dont 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 isnt easy but definitely you can

decide your life Have a success its good defeating

all sort of gratuitous emotions is better and thinking

optimistically is best Like with what the quote moti-

vatesldquoonly when you illuminate otherswithout ex-

pectation or rewardwill you truly understand how to

illuminate yourselfrdquo only remember dont 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 personrsquos 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 personrsquos life

Destiny is not unchangeable the power to do so lies in

your very hands

Savior of all Nikita V IXndash A

Our country is safe

Because of you

You protect our country today

And forever yoursquoll do

The tri-colour will glare

Because you are there

And the feelings of love with

Our country we share

Bravery in your fights

And surgical strikes

Salute to you and all

The almighty soldiers

I pledge my glory and

will always be proud of your story

Self Confidence

Anirudh Shetti VI B

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

On assembly he reported beautifully and he was the

best reporter in the assembly There are some more

other positives like positive thinking concentration

good manners being kind etc Like Theodore Roose-

velt said ldquoEach time we face fear we gain strength

courage and confidence in the doingrdquo I will conclude

my article with this quote ldquoBelieve in yourself and

you will be unstoppablerdquo

Pencil

-Aadya Agarwal V

Once I was drawing with a pencil

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 ldquoErase Eraserdquo

I lost my pencil

But it was with my friend Jencil

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 ldquopencilrsquos life is very vastrdquo

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

Taras intelligence

- Pritika Manohar kadam VIII ndashD

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 brothers

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 cant 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

Next day she gathered them and

went to her father and said you

wont help one girl (me) so can

you help us to study Her father was impressed by her

intelligenceHe 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 lsquogoodbyersquo

-Nidhi Mishra VIII-G

Together we laughed

Together we wept

Myriad fond impressions We kept

Jointly we danced like daisy

We didnrsquot bother about others

We chuckled like crazy

Concerning about the fussy was tempestuous

Together we were scintillating

We were engrossed in

Our cackles were uplifting

Something was sinister I remained keen

That gloominess was undesirable

Not you but our disunion was near

Our parting was lamentable

The distance between us was my fear

Our disunion was forthcoming

I wished I could quit it

Tears from our eyes were running

With those yet we had to split

Years had flown by

Not the echo

The ordeal to say a

lsquogoodbyersquo

And to lose a loyal oppo

My dream House

-Harshith Nair IX-B

Voila I have shifted to my new house

Away from those lizards and that cunning mouse

That was once a basic and simple house

Now canrsquot get over the whoaas and wowws

Ancient doors and artefacts with a palatial tinge

Enter and you would feel yoursquove got wings

Vintage artefacts and interiors add to the glam

quotient

A gramophone an antique

telephone that take you to an

era thatrsquos ancient

To me and my brotherrsquos surprise therersquos an excit-

ing bunk bed

Now who sleeps on the top therersquos gonna be a

bloodshed

I hate boasting but this onersquos the icing on the

cake

Let me tell you friends this was a dream all

Friendship

-Divya Johnson VIII ndash I

Friendship has no form

sometimes it makes us feel secure and warm

Sometimes leaves us cold and forlorn

and sometimes gives us the power to go on

We mistake it often for something materializing

but itrsquos free and artistic

It is hard to catch

no other virtue has its match

Indomitable Earth - Poorvi Sanu IX ndashG

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

Intestinal hurdle artwork framed

Mammals fattened by unnatural floating

Wild material machine Unseen

Where does your waste ream

What can I do

It takes more than

one It takes society

Globally to do what

needs to be done

Our footprint is mas-

sive weighty

Join Mother Earth

On our journey here and abroad

Full of disbelief and open scorn

Itrsquos 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 lsquocause guess what ldquoI AM TRAVELLING IN

THE BUMPY TRAINrdquo 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 therersquos 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

and thatrsquos what makes our

India famous and legend-

ary We also get to eat

those India-famous snacks

from all over India like lsquoShehgaon kachorirsquo lsquo Kol-

hapuri misalrsquo 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

Control Yourself - Suvan Lokhande IX-A

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 TV or maybe food

ldquoControl Yourself Kidrdquo ldquoDone not more than

thisrdquo ldquoControlrdquo such types of sentences maybe

familiar to you which must be said by your mom dad

teachers and your elders But thatrsquos exactly true what

they say I know that itrsquos 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

And these changes can definitely make you proudAt

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 lifehelliphellipControl Yourself amp Be the

Change

Anger Management

- Sfurti Kumbhar IX-A

AngerhellipThe 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 isnrsquot Itrsquos 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 Irsquom trying to get it

under control Sort of

Impossible right Managing anger sounds easy You

can distract yourself from the situation Permanently

fix an imaginary meter in your brain which indicates

anger level My meter is always near 50-60 When I

say that Irsquom 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 ldquodrink cool water to cool down your warm

headrdquo or breathe Listen to your fav music Or ask

yourself this simple question

ldquoIs getting angry at this person or screaming at them

going to improve my day in any way whatsoeverrdquo

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

ldquofuse blowing offrdquo 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

The voice is so pretty

Right inside your heart

Painting pictures which create

memories

That are soothing just like a

breeze

You are a Masterpiece

With an end number of skills

Creativity is your strength

Keep safe till the end

Monsoon -Isha Bhanushali VIII

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 youWell 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 600 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

I after a while made up my

mind I will set out and go on

my ownI 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 its

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 Moms scolding

Yes because I had stepped inside a big puddle

Soldier - Marisha Nath VIII-C

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

Sati widows shravana shraddha managala gaur

akshaya tritiya child marriage karva chauthhellip

etcetera etcetera etceteraWhat do these words re-

mind you of Yep Thatrsquos right These are all systems

for women

These are sacrifices and systems that women perform

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 processMen work approximately 6 ndash 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 donrsquot

To all the men and boys reading this I have a few

questions for youDo 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

Submission to Peer Pressure -Akshat Mishra IX -G

ldquoHey Mohan When did you get this new iPhone-Xrdquo

we asked him in surprise as we knew the financial

condition of his family ldquoMy cousin gifted it to merdquo

quipped Mohan sheepishly All the boys resumed

playing but I knew there was something amissPeer

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

someonersquos 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

arenrsquot 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 arenrsquot 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

ldquoFreedom of Press in Democracyrdquo

- 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

about news from vari-

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

Even if the media subsequently correct a statement the

damage done may be irreparable Hence the media should

take care to carefully investigate any news item before

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

New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 22

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 priceAlso 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

democracySome newspapers espouse the cause of

only one community

ldquoThey do not judge problems on their merits They

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 worldrsquos 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

We all know the present condition of our environment

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 Its 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 beauti-

ful earth and so itrsquos 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 trsquos

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 rdquoEveryone

has a good and a bad side in his life What matters is

the part we choose to act upon rdquoThis is an excellent

thought said by Sirius Black in the movie Harry Pot-

ter Itrsquos 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 donrsquot 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

- Heet Shripal Kankariya VII-G

It is hard to recall the past

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

Dont lose ittry and endeavor

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

With all the night strength and gust

Preserving nature is must

Mother Nature has been so lucrative

Letrsquos do something to save her

Something new and creativersquo

Let us get pollution under control

Before mother Earth weeps and implores

Let clean air sweep

Both high and deep

Let the tiny piece of land

Be clean tidy and neat

Let uncontaminated water be

So that everything doesnrsquot

end like the sea

Let the tree stand

lsquoCause it is more alluring than the seven colour band

Without being loquacious

Mother nature is indeed precious

The Little girl

- Bhumika Sharma VI-F

I found in a garage

Near the carriage

A tiny little baby girl

She had cute blue eyes

Which were very small in size

And had beautiful hair with a cute little curl

I wonder why she was there

And she came fromhellipwhere

I then asked a person passing on the road

If he knew the merciless who

kept her near the horses and

toads

The person replied ldquoWho cares

O Madamhellip

hellipFor a girl who is denied by her

dad and mum

I felt very sad and cried

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 ndashD

It was rainy season

At home came a pigeon

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 didnrsquot fly away

Because I took care

Soon there were three small

eggs

Which were taken care of by the guest

The bird is easy to guess

Because it doesnrsquot make a mess

With its red tail

It looked a bit frail

Between the plants green full full

Was the nest of the little Bulbul

The Art of Dharma as per Mahabharata

- Abhishek Singh [Teacher SrSecondary]

Dharma means the Duty or RighteousnessDharma is

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)Its like the Ying and Yang

Duryodhanarsquos envy for the Pandvarsquos Indraprastha and

Yudhishthirarsquos 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

rivalrsquos possessions or eternal sickness to pull the rival

downThe envy and greed are both presents even in

the

modern day world the failure

of communism was caused by

envy among citizens while 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

Dharma is not justice Its difference between Retribu-

tive Justice and forgiveness While a nation with

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 wasnrsquot happy to see me happy

and I noticed a photograph in my phone which be-

mused me ndash not mentioning how frightened I had be-

come

The picture waswashow can I explain The back-

ground was of my house In the photoI was

sleeping Butbut 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 ndash the

noises from outside noises of something creaking and

the wind forcefully blowing through the thin slit of the

window eerily

I was panic-stricken I

quickly switched my

phone off and kept it on

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 lsquoIt is Tues-

day todayrsquo 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 couldnrsquot 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 doesnrsquot 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 wonrsquot 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

- Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D

She lived under a rock

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

From being the young shy girl they saw

But all this struggle slowly had her crumbling

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 lsquolifersquo as its spell

Being myself Irsquoll uplift

Life is too short

Donrsquot be someone else

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 educationWith 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

status of women bringing

them shoulder to shoulder

with men These particular

measures constitute a pro-

cess which is known as ldquoWomen Empowermentrdquo

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

- 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 lsquoEscape and start overrsquo

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

embryos is set up they would

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

Television Pros and Cons

- Soumya Sheth

What do most of the people do these days to entertain

themselvesEveryone 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

However like every good and popular inventions tel-

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 elseItrsquos

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 inven-

tion of science in

the right and bene-

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 donrsquot

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

The night before the final examination appears to all

examinees as the night before the Battle of Waterloo

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-

tion they would be

going about their

daily rounds They

may be found in the parks cafes and restaurants talk-

ing about tips ndashtalking 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 ndashconscious 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

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 ldquoHello My friendrdquo but the elephant replied rude-

ly saying ldquoYou tiny

ant Get off my way

otherwise yoursquoll get

crushed to deathrdquo

Hearing this ant

challenged the elephant sayingrdquo My big friend I can

make you cryrdquo The ant quickly climbed onto the trunk

of the elephant and ran towards its earit 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

ldquoPlease come out of my ear I canrsquot bear the painrdquo As

soon as the ant came out the elephant apologized for

its mistake and didnrsquot tease any animals from that day

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

Water is the force behind all the industry agriculture

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

without water No

water no life

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 schools There are no schools here Mother said

dont 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

The Day Irsquoll Never Forget - Saranya Sarangi VII -

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 hadnrsquot the thee

Perished laid the martyrs

Whom our motherland gave birth

I still remember that scaring sight

The scattered limbs I couldnrsquot see

My heart got filled with grief and fright

No Indian could glee

Terribly writhing the soldiers were seen

Some families languished and some

were crying

So loyal to their country they had been

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

I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom

O human Then why do you steal my FREEDOM

Binding me alone in the cage makes me sad

Donrsquot you know caging a bird is bad

Looking at the sky

I wish I could fly

I never disturb you

I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom

O human Then why do you steal my

FREEDOM

Summers in India - Saranya Sarangi VIII

A hot season beginning from April till May is what we

call summer And thatrsquos the basic rule in India But

thatrsquos 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 donrsquot 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-

dents can join different aca-

demic and co-curricular

courses to improve them-

selves Many children even spend time with their fami-

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 lsquoSummers in Indiarsquo

Exams are good or bad

- Nupoor Teli VIIIndashI

In my humble opinionexams are apressure on the stu-

dents They are forced to study and score good

markswhich 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 studybut 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

-daysthe main reason for studying is gaining marks If

there are no marksno career andno success This is the

mindset of 70 people of the worldespecially 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-

verthere are projectssubject-enrichment activi-

tieschapter test sfter every topicnotebookfile submis

sion etcAnd as acherry on top

of the cakewe have the semes-

ter exams of eighty marks as

well What all will the students

do And even if any extra-

curricular activities are being learntthen more extra

studies Just studystudy 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 notThey shouldnt be pressurized for

their marksbut 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 dont pressurize

students for what they dont likeand encourage them in

what they do After allthey 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

Never accept less than best

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 magicalhellip

Life is so magicalhellip

Humility -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D

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 personrsquos 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 personrsquos 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

canrsquot 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 yoursquore not strong enough to

stand up for yourself They think you surrender in-

stead of protesting They will despise and scorn you

but they donrsquot know that you take pleasure in what

you do because they havenrsquot experienced that kind of

joy

So if you do have humility donrsquot 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

Mom -Tanvi Sawant VII-C

Oh mom I came to this beautiful world just because

of youhellip

Mom what would I do without you

Oh mom there are thorns on the way

But you manage to get me awayhellip

Oh mom I canrsquot say how much yoursquore to me

Mom just promise me that yoursquoll and

always be with mehellip

Oh mom this world is incomplete

without you

Just like the sky without itrsquos bright color bluehellip

Oh mom yoursquore the candle that showed the way in the

dark

My dear mom you made my life spark

OUR FUTURE EARTH - Hiya Purswani VIII-B

We all know the present condition of our environment

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 Its 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 its 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 Itrsquos 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

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 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 Itrsquos 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 donʼt

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 quoterdquo 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

And wait the unfailing gray

Oh Sad are winter nights and slow

And sad is a song thatrsquos dumb

And sad it is to lie I know

Another dawn will come

Floods and Destruction

- Nirvi Soni IV-H

India faces occurrence of floods each year in some

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

Good Morning Everyone -Vyomi ThakkarVI - H

Come with me wersquoll have some fun

Wersquoll go on a walk

Donrsquot worry will have a great talk

Roaming around the ground

With beautiful birdrsquos sound

We donrsquot know if anything will be found

Wersquoll 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

-Shravya Atreya IX-D

Think before you speak

There are hearts you must please

Think before you speak

You canrsquot undo the harm done after you squeak

Think before you speak

You might have done greater harm than you might

think

Think before you speak

There are still places left for you

to seek

Think before you speak

There is a long way to go before

you sleep

Think before you speak

There are hearts you must

please

Sunrise -Anuradha Singh VII-H

Everything is fine

GLOBAL WARMING - Adhyant Singh VII-F

Global warming refers to the steady rise in the Earthrsquos mean temperature The effect of global

warming had come into sight when polar ice caps started melting this phenomena is called ICE ndash

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 400000000000 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 Earthrsquos surface thus increasing the temperature and also

destroying the ozone layer which prevents the ultraviolet rays of the sun from reaching the earthrsquos 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 (CFCrsquoS) 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

earthrsquos doomsday we all must work together

Itrsquos not too late there is still timehellipBefore the earth ends and we whinehellipSo keep on marching and planting

greens To end Global Warming and Make our planet greenhellip

The Night - Matangi Rajesh VII-D

Its the night

The moon is white

When we switch off the light

What a beautiful sight

After this comes the sun bright

There is no more artificial light

This is the time to start your diet

To go for a run wearing tights

Then comes the evening when

you have snacks light

And fly a big colorful kite

or include your sibling in a pillow fight

Again comes the night

A moon which is white

We switch off the light

A beautiful sight

INDIArsquoS 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

Indiarsquos 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 ldquoharness space technology ldquofor 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 ISROrsquos Fat Boyrsquo

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

Indiarsquos 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 didnt 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 Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane

with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing

speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt 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-

perloops 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 itThe first Hyperloop ndash 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

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

wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-

ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities

chapter test after every topic notebookfile 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

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 lifeI fell that exams

should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate

whether the students are clear with the concepts or

not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but

should be made understand their mistakes Let them

choose their own career options on their own Help

them know what they like to study and what they want

to do in their life So dont pressurize students for

what they dont like and encourage them in what they

do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the

country

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B

Life is all about interactions You meet people and

you interact You observe them consciously or sub-

consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us

more than we even realise Some people leave a last-

ing impression on us and entirely change the course of

life for better or for worse Some people influence us

help us go further and make all the difference

I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-

tial people They have taken care of me ever since I

came into this world They are the ones who wish the

best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-

cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel

no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-

come a part of my personality They are the ones who

helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me

to be better

When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are

the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-

takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique

learning experience It has made me realise how eve-

rything they do has a reason They are the ones who

have taught me the importance of the little things in

life They are the ones who have helped me recognize

and follow my passion The very thought of them not

being a part of my life is scary to the least as without

them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am

today and whatever I have achieved is all because of

them and I am very grateful of that

Eyesight

-Aditi Shenoy VIII-F

The tired little girl went to bed

Recollecting the days bygone

Seeing them in her dreams

As the day she was born

Trying to see the world

With her little eyes

But the sun with his brightness

Wouldnt let her catch the sights

The girl still eager

And curious to see the world around her

Again opened her eyes

But her vision was blurred

Still she did not lose hope

Which flowed through her blood

Encouraging and pushing her

To see the world further

Her heart beating fast

Her enthusiasm increasing

She slowly tried to see

With her eyes continuously blinking

Starting to lose hope

She was ready to give up

But curiosity got the upper hand

And pushed her forward

With her hope again rising

and strength in her eyesight

She is finally seeing the world

With wide open eyes

Conquering the space

ldquoThere is no failure in Science it is only continual

effort to conquer the unknown On the way even if we

face failure it rather adds more value to our effort for

our next journey to know the unknownrdquo

Chandrayan-2 Indiarsquos Moon Mission The dream of

entire India to land on moon and become the 4th Na-

tion in the world to put its flag on the soil of moon

after USSR USA amp China

ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launched

Chandrayan-2 on 22nd July 2019 from Bengaluru

(Satish Dhawan Space Center) under the command of

ISRO chief K Shivan It consists of ORBITER

LANDER amp Lunar Rover PRAGYAN Like Chandra-

yan-1(22nd Oct2008) it was Indiarsquos indigenous moon

mission

It touched the Moon Surface on Saturday early morn-

ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-

ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-

ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of

moon it lost contact with the ground station Because

of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be

monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m

(approx) away from its assigned location near

SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still

orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange

signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it

The ORBITER which will remain active for another

12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-

owed portion of the moon for the first time in history

with the help of its high-resolution camera

The entire Nation irrespective of their field of

knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front

of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of

VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true

Indians who always dream progress and development

of their motherland But our heart never accepts this

as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement

for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-

pose of our mission

But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at

this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring

country quoting this as a big failure on part of India

blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos

money on this

Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will

be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to

this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other

nations on such missions

Further I should say that India is not new in the field

of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-

TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975

It was named after famous scientist of ancient India

ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested

for the first time the HELIOCENTRIC THEORY

(Sun at the center and all planets revolve around the

Sun) of the Solar System much earlier than ready for

New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 57

COPERNICUS as believed in the western world

Other countries might have moon on their flags but

we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is

great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are

whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-

rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is

only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the

unknown and its continual application for the benefit

of the mankind)rdquo

Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by

various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-

PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-

cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958

onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as

46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was

attempted out of which only 21 was successful

Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-

tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the

overall attempts conducted by other Nations

USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-

NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was

From Principalrsquos 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 Itrsquos 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

Our inner dialogue is the software that programs our

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

Many of us have behavior patterns today that were

programmed into our brains at a very tender age The

sad reality of life is that we continue to hear negative

information but we donrsquot 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

ldquoMicro changes in Life can bring Macro Transformationrdquo

Children should be taught to think We should help them to unfold their imaginations and give life to

their thoughts amp 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

amp the most overwhelming key to a childrsquos success is the attitude by parents by giving the space to the

child and not comparing them to others ldquoThe secret of getting ahead is getting startedrdquo 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

childrenrsquo s imagination to foster a positive learning Environment Letrsquos give them a platform to

think express ampexhibit their skills

I congratulate the editorial team for their hard work in releasing this E magazine

ldquo What you are is Godrsquos gift to you What you become is your gift to God ldquo

Language is one of Godrsquos 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-C

Your life is in your hands How to solve your life with

ease Thats always a big question in a puzzled mind

Synchronizing the answer is always necessary Elabo-

ration the next first lets understand why you get a

human life hereditarily Until and unless you have

solved the Rubiks 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 Thats

not a small value Its 70times12=etc

Now whats a shadow side of your life Its 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 dont 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 isnt easy but definitely you can

decide your life Have a success its good defeating

all sort of gratuitous emotions is better and thinking

optimistically is best Like with what the quote moti-

vatesldquoonly when you illuminate otherswithout ex-

pectation or rewardwill you truly understand how to

illuminate yourselfrdquo only remember dont 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 personrsquos 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 personrsquos life

Destiny is not unchangeable the power to do so lies in

your very hands

Savior of all Nikita V IXndash A

Our country is safe

Because of you

You protect our country today

And forever yoursquoll do

The tri-colour will glare

Because you are there

And the feelings of love with

Our country we share

Bravery in your fights

And surgical strikes

Salute to you and all

The almighty soldiers

I pledge my glory and

will always be proud of your story

Self Confidence

Anirudh Shetti VI B

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

On assembly he reported beautifully and he was the

best reporter in the assembly There are some more

other positives like positive thinking concentration

good manners being kind etc Like Theodore Roose-

velt said ldquoEach time we face fear we gain strength

courage and confidence in the doingrdquo I will conclude

my article with this quote ldquoBelieve in yourself and

you will be unstoppablerdquo

Pencil

-Aadya Agarwal V

Once I was drawing with a pencil

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 ldquoErase Eraserdquo

I lost my pencil

But it was with my friend Jencil

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 ldquopencilrsquos life is very vastrdquo

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

Taras intelligence

- Pritika Manohar kadam VIII ndashD

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 brothers

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 cant 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

Next day she gathered them and

went to her father and said you

wont help one girl (me) so can

you help us to study Her father was impressed by her

intelligenceHe 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 lsquogoodbyersquo

-Nidhi Mishra VIII-G

Together we laughed

Together we wept

Myriad fond impressions We kept

Jointly we danced like daisy

We didnrsquot bother about others

We chuckled like crazy

Concerning about the fussy was tempestuous

Together we were scintillating

We were engrossed in

Our cackles were uplifting

Something was sinister I remained keen

That gloominess was undesirable

Not you but our disunion was near

Our parting was lamentable

The distance between us was my fear

Our disunion was forthcoming

I wished I could quit it

Tears from our eyes were running

With those yet we had to split

Years had flown by

Not the echo

The ordeal to say a

lsquogoodbyersquo

And to lose a loyal oppo

My dream House

-Harshith Nair IX-B

Voila I have shifted to my new house

Away from those lizards and that cunning mouse

That was once a basic and simple house

Now canrsquot get over the whoaas and wowws

Ancient doors and artefacts with a palatial tinge

Enter and you would feel yoursquove got wings

Vintage artefacts and interiors add to the glam

quotient

A gramophone an antique

telephone that take you to an

era thatrsquos ancient

To me and my brotherrsquos surprise therersquos an excit-

ing bunk bed

Now who sleeps on the top therersquos gonna be a

bloodshed

I hate boasting but this onersquos the icing on the

cake

Let me tell you friends this was a dream all

Friendship

-Divya Johnson VIII ndash I

Friendship has no form

sometimes it makes us feel secure and warm

Sometimes leaves us cold and forlorn

and sometimes gives us the power to go on

We mistake it often for something materializing

but itrsquos free and artistic

It is hard to catch

no other virtue has its match

Indomitable Earth - Poorvi Sanu IX ndashG

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

Intestinal hurdle artwork framed

Mammals fattened by unnatural floating

Wild material machine Unseen

Where does your waste ream

What can I do

It takes more than

one It takes society

Globally to do what

needs to be done

Our footprint is mas-

sive weighty

Join Mother Earth

On our journey here and abroad

Full of disbelief and open scorn

Itrsquos 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 lsquocause guess what ldquoI AM TRAVELLING IN

THE BUMPY TRAINrdquo 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 therersquos 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

and thatrsquos what makes our

India famous and legend-

ary We also get to eat

those India-famous snacks

from all over India like lsquoShehgaon kachorirsquo lsquo Kol-

hapuri misalrsquo 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

Control Yourself - Suvan Lokhande IX-A

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 TV or maybe food

ldquoControl Yourself Kidrdquo ldquoDone not more than

thisrdquo ldquoControlrdquo such types of sentences maybe

familiar to you which must be said by your mom dad

teachers and your elders But thatrsquos exactly true what

they say I know that itrsquos 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

And these changes can definitely make you proudAt

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 lifehelliphellipControl Yourself amp Be the

Change

The earth is full of surprises

Anger Management

- Sfurti Kumbhar IX-A

AngerhellipThe 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 isnrsquot Itrsquos 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 Irsquom trying to get it

under control Sort of

Impossible right Managing anger sounds easy You

can distract yourself from the situation Permanently

fix an imaginary meter in your brain which indicates

anger level My meter is always near 50-60 When I

say that Irsquom 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 ldquodrink cool water to cool down your warm

headrdquo or breathe Listen to your fav music Or ask

yourself this simple question

ldquoIs getting angry at this person or screaming at them

going to improve my day in any way whatsoeverrdquo

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

ldquofuse blowing offrdquo 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

The voice is so pretty

Keep safe till the end

Monsoon -Isha Bhanushali VIII

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 youWell 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 600 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

I after a while made up my

mind I will set out and go on

my ownI 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 its

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 Moms scolding

Yes because I had stepped inside a big puddle

Soldier - Marisha Nath VIII-C

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

Sati widows shravana shraddha managala gaur

akshaya tritiya child marriage karva chauthhellip

etcetera etcetera etceteraWhat do these words re-

mind you of Yep Thatrsquos right These are all systems

for women

These are sacrifices and systems that women perform

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 processMen work approximately 6 ndash 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 donrsquot

To all the men and boys reading this I have a few

questions for youDo 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 ndash 21

bones at once Did men know this And yet they con-

sider women weak They think that because wersquore

women we cannot thinkIf we cannot think who is

Marie Curie If we are weak who delivers kids

Women arenrsquot any different They are children of

gods They arenrsquot your personal secretaries they are

your partnersOnly 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

ishellipabsolutely nothing

Is this right

Submission to Peer Pressure -Akshat Mishra IX -G

ldquoHey Mohan When did you get this new iPhone-Xrdquo

we asked him in surprise as we knew the financial

condition of his family ldquoMy cousin gifted it to merdquo

quipped Mohan sheepishly All the boys resumed

playing but I knew there was something amissPeer

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

someonersquos 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

arenrsquot 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 arenrsquot 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

ldquoFreedom of Press in Democracyrdquo

- 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

about news from vari-

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

Even if the media subsequently correct a statement the

damage done may be irreparable Hence the media should

take care to carefully investigate any news item before

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

New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 22

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 priceAlso 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

democracySome newspapers espouse the cause of

only one community

ldquoThey do not judge problems on their merits They

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 worldrsquos 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

We all know the present condition of our environment

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 Its 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 beauti-

ful earth and so itrsquos 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 trsquos

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 rdquoEveryone

has a good and a bad side in his life What matters is

the part we choose to act upon rdquoThis is an excellent

thought said by Sirius Black in the movie Harry Pot-

ter Itrsquos 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 donrsquot 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

- Heet Shripal Kankariya VII-G

It is hard to recall the past

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

Dont lose ittry and endeavor

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

With all the night strength and gust

Preserving nature is must

Mother Nature has been so lucrative

Letrsquos do something to save her

Something new and creativersquo

Let us get pollution under control

Before mother Earth weeps and implores

Let clean air sweep

Both high and deep

Let the tiny piece of land

Be clean tidy and neat

Let uncontaminated water be

So that everything doesnrsquot

end like the sea

Let the tree stand

lsquoCause it is more alluring than the seven colour band

Without being loquacious

Mother nature is indeed precious

The Little girl

- Bhumika Sharma VI-F

I found in a garage

Near the carriage

A tiny little baby girl

She had cute blue eyes

Which were very small in size

And had beautiful hair with a cute little curl

I wonder why she was there

And she came fromhellipwhere

I then asked a person passing on the road

If he knew the merciless who

kept her near the horses and

toads

The person replied ldquoWho cares

O Madamhellip

hellipFor a girl who is denied by her

dad and mum

I felt very sad and cried

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 ndashD

It was rainy season

At home came a pigeon

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 didnrsquot fly away

Because I took care

Soon there were three small

eggs

Which were taken care of by the guest

The bird is easy to guess

Because it doesnrsquot make a mess

With its red tail

It looked a bit frail

Between the plants green full full

Was the nest of the little Bulbul

The Art of Dharma as per Mahabharata

- Abhishek Singh [Teacher SrSecondary]

Dharma means the Duty or RighteousnessDharma is

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)Its like the Ying and Yang

Duryodhanarsquos envy for the Pandvarsquos Indraprastha and

Yudhishthirarsquos 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

rivalrsquos possessions or eternal sickness to pull the rival

downThe envy and greed are both presents even in

the

modern day world the failure

of communism was caused by

envy among citizens while 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

Dharma is not justice Its difference between Retribu-

tive Justice and forgiveness While a nation with

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 wasnrsquot happy to see me happy

and I noticed a photograph in my phone which be-

mused me ndash not mentioning how frightened I had be-

come

The picture waswashow can I explain The back-

ground was of my house In the photoI was

sleeping Butbut 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 ndash the

noises from outside noises of something creaking and

the wind forcefully blowing through the thin slit of the

window eerily

I was panic-stricken I

quickly switched my

phone off and kept it on

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 lsquoIt is Tues-

day todayrsquo 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 couldnrsquot 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 doesnrsquot 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 wonrsquot 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

- Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D

She lived under a rock

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

From being the young shy girl they saw

But all this struggle slowly had her crumbling

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 lsquolifersquo as its spell

Being myself Irsquoll uplift

Life is too short

Donrsquot be someone else

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 educationWith 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

status of women bringing

them shoulder to shoulder

with men These particular

measures constitute a pro-

cess which is known as ldquoWomen Empowermentrdquo

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 lsquoEscape and start overrsquo

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

embryos is set up they would

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

Television Pros and Cons

- Soumya Sheth

What do most of the people do these days to entertain

themselvesEveryone 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

However like every good and popular inventions tel-

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 elseItrsquos

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 inven-

tion of science in

the right and bene-

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 donrsquot

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

The night before the final examination appears to all

examinees as the night before the Battle of Waterloo

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-

tion they would be

going about their

daily rounds They

may be found in the parks cafes and restaurants talk-

ing about tips ndashtalking 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 ndashconscious 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

-Prajna VIII-D

Elegant you be for the universe to learn your versatility

Brighter you shine the orb will know your sustenance

The ideal triumph mustnrsquot be exaggerated

How can you be silent if you donrsquot know your efficiency

And could hear the doorrsquos 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 ldquoHello My friendrdquo but the elephant replied rude-

ly saying ldquoYou tiny

ant Get off my way

otherwise yoursquoll get

crushed to deathrdquo

Hearing this ant

challenged the elephant sayingrdquo My big friend I can

make you cryrdquo The ant quickly climbed onto the trunk

of the elephant and ran towards its earit 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

ldquoPlease come out of my ear I canrsquot bear the painrdquo As

soon as the ant came out the elephant apologized for

its mistake and didnrsquot tease any animals from that day

Grandparents

nevolence they are bounded

Be sure to always meet your grandparents once in a

while and enhance yourself by their presence

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

Water is the force behind all the industry agriculture

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

without water No

water no life

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 -Aditys Patil VIII-E

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 askedwhere are

the schools There are no schools here Mother said

dont 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

The Day Irsquoll Never Forget - Saranya Sarangi VII -

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 hadnrsquot the thee

Perished laid the martyrs

Whom our motherland gave birth

I still remember that scaring sight

The scattered limbs I couldnrsquot see

My heart got filled with grief and fright

No Indian could glee

Terribly writhing the soldiers were seen

Some families languished and some

were crying

So loyal to their country they had been

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

Looking at the sky

I wish I could fly

I never disturb you

I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom

O human Then why do you steal my

Summers in India - Saranya Sarangi VIII

Many people even donrsquot 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-

dents can join different aca-

demic and co-curricular

courses to improve them-

selves Many children even spend time with their fami-

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 lsquoSummers in Indiarsquo

Exams are good or bad

- Nupoor Teli VIIIndashI

In my humble opinionexams are apressure on the stu-

dents They are forced to study and score good

markswhich 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 studybut 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

-daysthe main reason for studying is gaining marks If

there are no marksno career andno success This is the

mindset of 70 people of the worldespecially 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-

verthere are projectssubject-enrichment activi-

tieschapter test sfter every topicnotebookfile submis

sion etcAnd as acherry on top

of the cakewe have the semes-

ter exams of eighty marks as

well What all will the students

do And even if any extra-

curricular activities are being learntthen more extra

studies Just studystudy 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 notThey shouldnt be pressurized for

their marksbut 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 dont pressurize

students for what they dont likeand encourage them in

what they do After allthey 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

Never accept less than best

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 magicalhellip

Life is so magicalhellip

Humility -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D

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 personrsquos 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 personrsquos 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

canrsquot 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 yoursquore not strong enough to

stand up for yourself They think you surrender in-

stead of protesting They will despise and scorn you

but they donrsquot know that you take pleasure in what

you do because they havenrsquot experienced that kind of

joy

So if you do have humility donrsquot 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

Mom -Tanvi Sawant VII-C

Oh mom I came to this beautiful world just because

of youhellip

Mom what would I do without you

Oh mom there are thorns on the way

But you manage to get me awayhellip

Oh mom I canrsquot say how much yoursquore to me

Mom just promise me that yoursquoll and

Oh mom this world is incomplete

without you

Just like the sky without itrsquos bright color bluehellip

Oh mom yoursquore the candle that showed the way in the

dark

Make a better home for you on me

Recycle things donrsquot throw them awayhellip

OUR FUTURE EARTH - Hiya Purswani VIII-B

We all know the present condition of our environment

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 Its 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 its 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 Itrsquos 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

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 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 Itrsquos 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 donʼt

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 quoterdquo 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

And wait the unfailing gray

Oh Sad are winter nights and slow

And sad is a song thatrsquos dumb

And sad it is to lie I know

Another dawn will come

Floods and Destruction

- Nirvi Soni IV-H

India faces occurrence of floods each year in some

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

Good Morning Everyone -Vyomi ThakkarVI - H

Come with me wersquoll have some fun

Wersquoll go on a walk

Donrsquot worry will have a great talk

Roaming around the ground

With beautiful birdrsquos sound

We donrsquot know if anything will be found

Wersquoll 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

-Shravya Atreya IX-D

Think before you speak

There are hearts you must please

Think before you speak

You canrsquot undo the harm done after you squeak

Think before you speak

You might have done greater harm than you might

think

Think before you speak

There are still places left for you

to seek

Think before you speak

There is a long way to go before

you sleep

Think before you speak

There are hearts you must

please

Sunrise -Anuradha Singh VII-H

GLOBAL WARMING - Adhyant Singh VII-F

Global warming refers to the steady rise in the Earthrsquos mean temperature The effect of global

warming had come into sight when polar ice caps started melting this phenomena is called ICE ndash

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 400000000000 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 Earthrsquos surface thus increasing the temperature and also

destroying the ozone layer which prevents the ultraviolet rays of the sun from reaching the earthrsquos 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 (CFCrsquoS) 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

earthrsquos doomsday we all must work together

Itrsquos not too late there is still timehellipBefore the earth ends and we whinehellipSo keep on marching and planting

greens To end Global Warming and Make our planet greenhellip

What will happen without Instagram

I asked who was the inventor

Nobody knew the answer to my question

Mobiles Mobiles Mobiles

I wondered why was it like so

Why is it they donrsquot know

There was one time we were

engrossed in books

Instagram wonrsquot give you a job

You will have to study and top

Your fellow followers wonrsquot help either

The Night - Matangi Rajesh VII-D

Its the night

The moon is white

When we switch off the light

What a beautiful sight

After this comes the sun bright

There is no more artificial light

This is the time to start your diet

To go for a run wearing tights

Then comes the evening when

you have snacks light

And fly a big colorful kite

or include your sibling in a pillow fight

Again comes the night

A moon which is white

We switch off the light

A beautiful sight

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

Indiarsquos 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 ldquoharness space technology ldquofor 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 ISROrsquos Fat Boyrsquo

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

Indiarsquos 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 didnt 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 Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane

with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing

speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt 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-

perloops 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 itThe first Hyperloop ndash 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

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

wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-

ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities

chapter test after every topic notebookfile 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

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 lifeI fell that exams

should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate

whether the students are clear with the concepts or

not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but

should be made understand their mistakes Let them

choose their own career options on their own Help

them know what they like to study and what they want

to do in their life So dont pressurize students for

what they dont like and encourage them in what they

do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the

country

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B

Life is all about interactions You meet people and

you interact You observe them consciously or sub-

consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us

more than we even realise Some people leave a last-

ing impression on us and entirely change the course of

life for better or for worse Some people influence us

help us go further and make all the difference

I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-

tial people They have taken care of me ever since I

came into this world They are the ones who wish the

best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-

cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel

no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-

come a part of my personality They are the ones who

helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me

to be better

When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are

the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-

takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique

learning experience It has made me realise how eve-

rything they do has a reason They are the ones who

have taught me the importance of the little things in

life They are the ones who have helped me recognize

and follow my passion The very thought of them not

being a part of my life is scary to the least as without

them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am

today and whatever I have achieved is all because of

them and I am very grateful of that

Eyesight

-Aditi Shenoy VIII-F

The tired little girl went to bed

Recollecting the days bygone

Seeing them in her dreams

As the day she was born

Trying to see the world

With her little eyes

But the sun with his brightness

Wouldnt let her catch the sights

The girl still eager

And curious to see the world around her

Again opened her eyes

But her vision was blurred

Still she did not lose hope

Which flowed through her blood

Encouraging and pushing her

To see the world further

Her heart beating fast

Her enthusiasm increasing

She slowly tried to see

With her eyes continuously blinking

Starting to lose hope

She was ready to give up

But curiosity got the upper hand

And pushed her forward

With her hope again rising

and strength in her eyesight

She is finally seeing the world

With wide open eyes

Conquering the space

ldquoThere is no failure in Science it is only continual

effort to conquer the unknown On the way even if we

face failure it rather adds more value to our effort for

our next journey to know the unknownrdquo

Chandrayan-2 Indiarsquos Moon Mission The dream of

entire India to land on moon and become the 4th Na-

tion in the world to put its flag on the soil of moon

after USSR USA amp China

ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launched

Chandrayan-2 on 22nd July 2019 from Bengaluru

(Satish Dhawan Space Center) under the command of

ISRO chief K Shivan It consists of ORBITER

LANDER amp Lunar Rover PRAGYAN Like Chandra-

yan-1(22nd Oct2008) it was Indiarsquos indigenous moon

mission

It touched the Moon Surface on Saturday early morn-

ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-

ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-

ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of

moon it lost contact with the ground station Because

of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be

monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m

(approx) away from its assigned location near

SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still

orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange

signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it

The ORBITER which will remain active for another

12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-

owed portion of the moon for the first time in history

with the help of its high-resolution camera

The entire Nation irrespective of their field of

knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front

of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of

VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true

Indians who always dream progress and development

of their motherland But our heart never accepts this

as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement

for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-

pose of our mission

But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at

this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring

country quoting this as a big failure on part of India

blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos

money on this

Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will

be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to

this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other

nations on such missions

Further I should say that India is not new in the field

of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-

TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975

It was named after famous scientist of ancient India

ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested

for the first time the HELIOCENTRIC THEORY

(Sun at the center and all planets revolve around the

Sun) of the Solar System much earlier than ready for

New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 57

COPERNICUS as believed in the western world

Other countries might have moon on their flags but

we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is

great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are

whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-

rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is

only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the

unknown and its continual application for the benefit

of the mankind)rdquo

Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by

various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-

PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-

cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958

onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as

46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was

attempted out of which only 21 was successful

Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-

tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the

overall attempts conducted by other Nations

USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-

NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was

planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January

SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR

successfully on moon

NASA after many attempts was successful to send

first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th

July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk

on moon

Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-

clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-

SION MANGAL for our next moon mission

ldquoMicro changes in Life can bring Macro Transformationrdquo

Language is one of Godrsquos 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

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

fest I wish them success for its timely release

A shadow side in me - Sunit Dighe VIII-C

Your life is in your hands How to solve your life with

ease Thats always a big question in a puzzled mind

Synchronizing the answer is always necessary Elabo-

ration the next first lets understand why you get a

human life hereditarily Until and unless you have

solved the Rubiks 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 Thats

not a small value Its 70times12=etc

Now whats a shadow side of your life Its 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 dont 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 isnt easy but definitely you can

decide your life Have a success its good defeating

all sort of gratuitous emotions is better and thinking

optimistically is best Like with what the quote moti-

vatesldquoonly when you illuminate otherswithout ex-

pectation or rewardwill you truly understand how to

illuminate yourselfrdquo only remember dont 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 personrsquos 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 personrsquos life

Destiny is not unchangeable the power to do so lies in

your very hands

Savior of all Nikita V IXndash A

Our country is safe

Because of you

You protect our country today

Bravery in your fights

Self Confidence

Anirudh Shetti VI B

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

On assembly he reported beautifully and he was the

best reporter in the assembly There are some more

other positives like positive thinking concentration

good manners being kind etc Like Theodore Roose-

velt said ldquoEach time we face fear we gain strength

courage and confidence in the doingrdquo I will conclude

my article with this quote ldquoBelieve in yourself and

you will be unstoppablerdquo

Pencil

-Aadya Agarwal V

Once I was drawing with a pencil

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 ldquoErase Eraserdquo

I lost my pencil

But it was with my friend Jencil

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 ldquopencilrsquos life is very vastrdquo

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

Taras intelligence

- Pritika Manohar kadam VIII ndashD

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 brothers

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 cant 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

Next day she gathered them and

went to her father and said you

wont help one girl (me) so can

you help us to study Her father was impressed by her

intelligenceHe 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 lsquogoodbyersquo

-Nidhi Mishra VIII-G

Together we laughed

Together we wept

Myriad fond impressions We kept

Jointly we danced like daisy

We didnrsquot bother about others

We chuckled like crazy

Concerning about the fussy was tempestuous

Together we were scintillating

We were engrossed in

Our cackles were uplifting

Something was sinister I remained keen

That gloominess was undesirable

Not you but our disunion was near

Our parting was lamentable

The distance between us was my fear

Our disunion was forthcoming

I wished I could quit it

Tears from our eyes were running

With those yet we had to split

Years had flown by

Not the echo

The ordeal to say a

lsquogoodbyersquo

And to lose a loyal oppo

My dream House

-Harshith Nair IX-B

Voila I have shifted to my new house

Away from those lizards and that cunning mouse

That was once a basic and simple house

Now canrsquot get over the whoaas and wowws

Ancient doors and artefacts with a palatial tinge

Enter and you would feel yoursquove got wings

Vintage artefacts and interiors add to the glam

Friendship

-Divya Johnson VIII ndash I

Friendship has no form

sometimes it makes us feel secure and warm

Sometimes leaves us cold and forlorn

and sometimes gives us the power to go on

We mistake it often for something materializing

but itrsquos free and artistic

It is hard to catch

no other virtue has its match

Indomitable Earth - Poorvi Sanu IX ndashG

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

Intestinal hurdle artwork framed

Mammals fattened by unnatural floating

Wild material machine Unseen

Where does your waste ream

What can I do

It takes more than

one It takes society

Globally to do what

needs to be done

Our footprint is mas-

sive weighty

Join Mother Earth

On our journey here and abroad

Full of disbelief and open scorn

Itrsquos 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 lsquocause guess what ldquoI AM TRAVELLING IN

THE BUMPY TRAINrdquo 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 therersquos 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

and thatrsquos what makes our

India famous and legend-

ary We also get to eat

those India-famous snacks

from all over India like lsquoShehgaon kachorirsquo lsquo Kol-

hapuri misalrsquo 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

Control Yourself - Suvan Lokhande IX-A

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 TV or maybe food

ldquoControl Yourself Kidrdquo ldquoDone not more than

thisrdquo ldquoControlrdquo such types of sentences maybe

familiar to you which must be said by your mom dad

teachers and your elders But thatrsquos exactly true what

they say I know that itrsquos 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

And these changes can definitely make you proudAt

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 lifehelliphellipControl Yourself amp Be the

Change

Anger Management

- Sfurti Kumbhar IX-A

AngerhellipThe 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 isnrsquot Itrsquos 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 Irsquom trying to get it

under control Sort of

Impossible right Managing anger sounds easy You

can distract yourself from the situation Permanently

fix an imaginary meter in your brain which indicates

anger level My meter is always near 50-60 When I

say that Irsquom 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 ldquodrink cool water to cool down your warm

headrdquo or breathe Listen to your fav music Or ask

yourself this simple question

ldquoIs getting angry at this person or screaming at them

going to improve my day in any way whatsoeverrdquo

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

ldquofuse blowing offrdquo times since grade 4 Anger may be

one of the smartest issues but we are smarter

You are a masterpiece - Tisha Gangar VIII-A

You are a Masterpiece

With an end number of skills

Creativity is your strength

Keep safe till the end

Monsoon -Isha Bhanushali VIII

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 youWell 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 600 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

I after a while made up my

mind I will set out and go on

my ownI 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 its

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 Moms scolding

Yes because I had stepped inside a big puddle

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

Sati widows shravana shraddha managala gaur

akshaya tritiya child marriage karva chauthhellip

etcetera etcetera etceteraWhat do these words re-

mind you of Yep Thatrsquos right These are all systems

for women

These are sacrifices and systems that women perform

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 processMen work approximately 6 ndash 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 donrsquot

To all the men and boys reading this I have a few

questions for youDo 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 ndash 21

bones at once Did men know this And yet they con-

sider women weak They think that because wersquore

women we cannot thinkIf we cannot think who is

Marie Curie If we are weak who delivers kids

Women arenrsquot any different They are children of

gods They arenrsquot your personal secretaries they are

your partnersOnly 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

ishellipabsolutely nothing

Is this right

Submission to Peer Pressure -Akshat Mishra IX -G

ldquoHey Mohan When did you get this new iPhone-Xrdquo

we asked him in surprise as we knew the financial

condition of his family ldquoMy cousin gifted it to merdquo

quipped Mohan sheepishly All the boys resumed

playing but I knew there was something amissPeer

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

someonersquos 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

arenrsquot 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 arenrsquot 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

ldquoFreedom of Press in Democracyrdquo

- 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

about news from vari-

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

Even if the media subsequently correct a statement the

damage done may be irreparable Hence the media should

take care to carefully investigate any news item before

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

New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 22

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 priceAlso 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

democracySome newspapers espouse the cause of

only one community

ldquoThey do not judge problems on their merits They

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 worldrsquos 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

We all know the present condition of our environment

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 Its 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 beauti-

ful earth and so itrsquos 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 trsquos

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 rdquoEveryone

has a good and a bad side in his life What matters is

the part we choose to act upon rdquoThis is an excellent

thought said by Sirius Black in the movie Harry Pot-

ter Itrsquos 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 donrsquot 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

- Heet Shripal Kankariya VII-G

It is hard to recall the past

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

Dont lose ittry and endeavor

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

With all the night strength and gust

Preserving nature is must

Mother Nature has been so lucrative

Letrsquos do something to save her

Something new and creativersquo

Let us get pollution under control

Before mother Earth weeps and implores

Let clean air sweep

Both high and deep

Let the tiny piece of land

Be clean tidy and neat

Let uncontaminated water be

So that everything doesnrsquot

end like the sea

Let the tree stand

lsquoCause it is more alluring than the seven colour band

Without being loquacious

Mother nature is indeed precious

The Little girl

- Bhumika Sharma VI-F

I found in a garage

Near the carriage

A tiny little baby girl

She had cute blue eyes

Which were very small in size

And had beautiful hair with a cute little curl

I wonder why she was there

And she came fromhellipwhere

I then asked a person passing on the road

If he knew the merciless who

kept her near the horses and

toads

The person replied ldquoWho cares

O Madamhellip

hellipFor a girl who is denied by her

dad and mum

I felt very sad and cried

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 ndashD

It was rainy season

At home came a pigeon

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 didnrsquot fly away

Because I took care

Soon there were three small

eggs

Which were taken care of by the guest

The bird is easy to guess

Because it doesnrsquot make a mess

With its red tail

It looked a bit frail

Between the plants green full full

Was the nest of the little Bulbul

The Art of Dharma as per Mahabharata

- Abhishek Singh [Teacher SrSecondary]

Dharma means the Duty or RighteousnessDharma is

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)Its like the Ying and Yang

Duryodhanarsquos envy for the Pandvarsquos Indraprastha and

Yudhishthirarsquos 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

rivalrsquos possessions or eternal sickness to pull the rival

downThe envy and greed are both presents even in

the

modern day world the failure

of communism was caused by

envy among citizens while 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

Dharma is not justice Its difference between Retribu-

tive Justice and forgiveness While a nation with

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 wasnrsquot happy to see me happy

and I noticed a photograph in my phone which be-

mused me ndash not mentioning how frightened I had be-

come

The picture waswashow can I explain The back-

ground was of my house In the photoI was

sleeping Butbut 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 ndash the

noises from outside noises of something creaking and

the wind forcefully blowing through the thin slit of the

window eerily

I was panic-stricken I

quickly switched my

phone off and kept it on

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 lsquoIt is Tues-

day todayrsquo 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 couldnrsquot 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 doesnrsquot 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 wonrsquot 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

- Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D

She lived under a rock

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

From being the young shy girl they saw

But all this struggle slowly had her crumbling

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 lsquolifersquo as its spell

Being myself Irsquoll uplift

Life is too short

Donrsquot be someone else

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 educationWith 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

status of women bringing

them shoulder to shoulder

with men These particular

measures constitute a pro-

cess which is known as ldquoWomen Empowermentrdquo

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 lsquoEscape and start overrsquo

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

embryos is set up they would

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

Television Pros and Cons

- Soumya Sheth

What do most of the people do these days to entertain

themselvesEveryone 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

However like every good and popular inventions tel-

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 elseItrsquos

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 inven-

tion of science in

the right and bene-

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 donrsquot

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

The night before the final examination appears to all

examinees as the night before the Battle of Waterloo

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-

tion they would be

going about their

daily rounds They

may be found in the parks cafes and restaurants talk-

ing about tips ndashtalking 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 ndashconscious 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

-Prajna VIII-D

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 mustnrsquot be exaggerated

Till you salve someonersquos hurt

Elegant you be for the universe to learn your versatility

How can you be silent if you donrsquot know your efficiency

One of the values to become successful is simplicity

Through elegance letrsquos spread positivist

Once I had been to the Chocolate Land

Chocolate all around to the reach of my hand

Toffees candies lollies and bars

In my mouth a crunchy munchy war

White dark nutty and sweet

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 chocolate car

Soon after it was 6 oclock

And could hear the doorrsquos 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 ldquoHello My friendrdquo but the elephant replied rude-

ly saying ldquoYou tiny

ant Get off my way

otherwise yoursquoll get

crushed to deathrdquo

Hearing this ant

challenged the elephant sayingrdquo My big friend I can

make you cryrdquo The ant quickly climbed onto the trunk

of the elephant and ran towards its earit 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

ldquoPlease come out of my ear I canrsquot bear the painrdquo As

soon as the ant came out the elephant apologized for

its mistake and didnrsquot tease any animals from that day

Grandparents

-Aditya Patil VIII-E

The best place in vacation

A heaven like destination

Their love for us is endless

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

coolest dude

They yell at our parents

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

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

Water is the force behind all the industry agriculture

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

without water No

water no life

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 -Aditys Patil VIII-E

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 askedwhere are

the schools There are no schools here Mother said

dont 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

The Day Irsquoll Never Forget - Saranya Sarangi VII -

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 hadnrsquot the thee

Perished laid the martyrs

Whom our motherland gave birth

I still remember that scaring sight

The scattered limbs I couldnrsquot see

My heart got filled with grief and fright

No Indian could glee

Terribly writhing the soldiers were seen

Some families languished and some

were crying

So loyal to their country they had been

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

I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom

O human Then why do you steal my FREEDOM

Binding me alone in the cage makes me sad

Donrsquot you know caging a bird is bad

Looking at the sky

I wish I could fly

I never disturb you

I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom

O human Then why do you steal my

Summers in India - Saranya Sarangi VIII

A hot season beginning from April till May is what we

call summer And thatrsquos the basic rule in India But

thatrsquos 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 donrsquot 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-

dents can join different aca-

demic and co-curricular

courses to improve them-

selves Many children even spend time with their fami-

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 lsquoSummers in Indiarsquo

Exams are good or bad

- Nupoor Teli VIIIndashI

In my humble opinionexams are apressure on the stu-

dents They are forced to study and score good

markswhich 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 studybut 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

-daysthe main reason for studying is gaining marks If

there are no marksno career andno success This is the

mindset of 70 people of the worldespecially 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-

verthere are projectssubject-enrichment activi-

tieschapter test sfter every topicnotebookfile submis

sion etcAnd as acherry on top

of the cakewe have the semes-

ter exams of eighty marks as

well What all will the students

do And even if any extra-

curricular activities are being learntthen more extra

studies Just studystudy 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 notThey shouldnt be pressurized for

their marksbut 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 dont pressurize

students for what they dont likeand encourage them in

what they do After allthey 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

Never accept less than best

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 magicalhellip

Life is so magicalhellip

Humility -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D

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 personrsquos 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 personrsquos 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

canrsquot 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 yoursquore not strong enough to

stand up for yourself They think you surrender in-

stead of protesting They will despise and scorn you

but they donrsquot know that you take pleasure in what

you do because they havenrsquot experienced that kind of

joy

So if you do have humility donrsquot 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

Mom -Tanvi Sawant VII-C

Oh mom I came to this beautiful world just because

of youhellip

Mom what would I do without you

Oh mom there are thorns on the way

But you manage to get me awayhellip

Oh mom I canrsquot say how much yoursquore to me

always be with mehellip

Oh mom this world is incomplete

without you

Just like the sky without itrsquos bright color bluehellip

Oh mom yoursquore the candle that showed the way in the

dark

I provide you with lots of stuff

With food and the mangoes that you love

I give you water soil and Sun

I am special as I am just one

But the humans living on me

Are making me dirty

They are cutting all the trees

And killing all the species helliphellip

They filling me with smoke and death

They are killing themselves

with lack of breath

I am the Earth

I am your mother

Make me the best by pol-

luting me less and less

And preventing my green dress

You can save water

you plant a tree

Make a better home for you on me

Recycle things donrsquot throw them awayhellip

MAKE EVERY DAY AN EARTH

What are you waiting for

Just stand up and fight

OUR FUTURE EARTH - Hiya Purswani VIII-B

We all know the present condition of our environment

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 Its 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 its 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 Itrsquos 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

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 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 Itrsquos 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 donʼt

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 quoterdquo 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

And wait the unfailing gray

Oh Sad are winter nights and slow

And sad is a song thatrsquos dumb

And sad it is to lie I know

Another dawn will come

Floods and Destruction

- Nirvi Soni IV-H

India faces occurrence of floods each year in some

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

Good Morning Everyone -Vyomi ThakkarVI - H

Come with me wersquoll have some fun

Wersquoll go on a walk

Donrsquot worry will have a great talk

Roaming around the ground

With beautiful birdrsquos sound

We donrsquot know if anything will be found

Wersquoll 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

-Shravya Atreya IX-D

Think before you speak

There are hearts you must please

Think before you speak

You canrsquot undo the harm done after you squeak

Think before you speak

You might have done greater harm than you might

think

Think before you speak

There are still places left for you

to seek

Think before you speak

There is a long way to go before

you sleep

Think before you speak

There are hearts you must

please

Sunrise -Anuradha Singh VII-H

Over the glimmering purple sea

Under the golden sun rise

staring at his own in the

enamelled sea

Everything is fine

With fading stars and rising light

GLOBAL WARMING - Adhyant Singh VII-F

Global warming refers to the steady rise in the Earthrsquos mean temperature The effect of global

warming had come into sight when polar ice caps started melting this phenomena is called ICE ndash

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 400000000000 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 Earthrsquos surface thus increasing the temperature and also

destroying the ozone layer which prevents the ultraviolet rays of the sun from reaching the earthrsquos 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 (CFCrsquoS) 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

earthrsquos doomsday we all must work together

Itrsquos not too late there is still timehellipBefore the earth ends and we whinehellipSo keep on marching and planting

greens To end Global Warming and Make our planet greenhellip

What will happen without Instagram

- Kaavya Chaudhary VII-F

Instagram Instagram Instagram

I was hearing it from everyone

I asked who was the inventor

Nobody knew the answer to my question

Mobiles Mobiles Mobiles

I was able to see them everywhere

I asked who was the inventor

Again nobody was aware

I wondered why was it like so

Why is it they donrsquot know

There was one time we were

engrossed in books

Now we care more about our looks

Instagram wonrsquot give you a job

You will have to study and top

Your fellow followers wonrsquot help either

If you donrsquot have a job no one will bother

I am a tree

- Yashawini Pillai

I am a tree

With a dark green crown

And a thick strong trunk

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

Its the night

The moon is white

When we switch off the light

What a beautiful sight

After this comes the sun bright

There is no more artificial light

This is the time to start your diet

To go for a run wearing tights

Then comes the evening when

you have snacks light

And fly a big colorful kite

or include your sibling in a pillow fight

Again comes the night

A moon which is white

We switch off the light

A beautiful sight

heavy duty rockets designs and fabricates some of the most sophisticated satellites In a singular achievement

Indiarsquos 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 ldquoharness space technology ldquofor 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 ISROrsquos Fat Boyrsquo

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

Indiarsquos 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 didnt 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 Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane

with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing

speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt 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-

perloops 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 itThe first Hyperloop ndash 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

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

wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-

ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities

chapter test after every topic notebookfile 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

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 lifeI fell that exams

should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate

whether the students are clear with the concepts or

not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but

should be made understand their mistakes Let them

choose their own career options on their own Help

them know what they like to study and what they want

to do in their life So dont pressurize students for

what they dont like and encourage them in what they

do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the

country

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B

Life is all about interactions You meet people and

you interact You observe them consciously or sub-

consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us

more than we even realise Some people leave a last-

ing impression on us and entirely change the course of

life for better or for worse Some people influence us

help us go further and make all the difference

I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-

tial people They have taken care of me ever since I

came into this world They are the ones who wish the

best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-

cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel

no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-

come a part of my personality They are the ones who

helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me

to be better

When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are

the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-

takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique

learning experience It has made me realise how eve-

rything they do has a reason They are the ones who

have taught me the importance of the little things in

life They are the ones who have helped me recognize

and follow my passion The very thought of them not

being a part of my life is scary to the least as without

them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am

today and whatever I have achieved is all because of

them and I am very grateful of that

Eyesight

-Aditi Shenoy VIII-F

The tired little girl went to bed

Recollecting the days bygone

Seeing them in her dreams

As the day she was born

Trying to see the world

With her little eyes

But the sun with his brightness

Wouldnt let her catch the sights

The girl still eager

And curious to see the world around her

Again opened her eyes

But her vision was blurred

Still she did not lose hope

Which flowed through her blood

Encouraging and pushing her

To see the world further

Her heart beating fast

Her enthusiasm increasing

She slowly tried to see

With her eyes continuously blinking

Starting to lose hope

She was ready to give up

But curiosity got the upper hand

And pushed her forward

With her hope again rising

and strength in her eyesight

She is finally seeing the world

With wide open eyes

Conquering the space

-Marisha Nath VIII-C

ldquoThere is no failure in Science it is only continual

effort to conquer the unknown On the way even if we

face failure it rather adds more value to our effort for

our next journey to know the unknownrdquo

Chandrayan-2 Indiarsquos Moon Mission The dream of

entire India to land on moon and become the 4th Na-

tion in the world to put its flag on the soil of moon

after USSR USA amp China

ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launched

Chandrayan-2 on 22nd July 2019 from Bengaluru

(Satish Dhawan Space Center) under the command of

ISRO chief K Shivan It consists of ORBITER

LANDER amp Lunar Rover PRAGYAN Like Chandra-

yan-1(22nd Oct2008) it was Indiarsquos indigenous moon

mission

It touched the Moon Surface on Saturday early morn-

ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-

ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-

ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of

moon it lost contact with the ground station Because

of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be

monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m

(approx) away from its assigned location near

SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still

orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange

signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it

The ORBITER which will remain active for another

12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-

owed portion of the moon for the first time in history

with the help of its high-resolution camera

The entire Nation irrespective of their field of

knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front

of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of

VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true

Indians who always dream progress and development

of their motherland But our heart never accepts this

as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement

for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-

pose of our mission

But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at

this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring

country quoting this as a big failure on part of India

blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos

money on this

Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will

be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to

this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other

nations on such missions

Further I should say that India is not new in the field

of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-

TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975

It was named after famous scientist of ancient India

ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested

for the first time the HELIOCENTRIC THEORY

(Sun at the center and all planets revolve around the

Sun) of the Solar System much earlier than ready for

New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 57

COPERNICUS as believed in the western world

Other countries might have moon on their flags but

we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is

great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are

whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-

rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is

only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the

unknown and its continual application for the benefit

of the mankind)rdquo

Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by

various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-

PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-

cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958

onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as

46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was

attempted out of which only 21 was successful

Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-

tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the

overall attempts conducted by other Nations

USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-

NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was

planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January

SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR

successfully on moon

NASA after many attempts was successful to send

first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th

July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk

on moon

Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-

clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-

SION MANGAL for our next moon mission

A shadow side in me - Sunit Dighe VIII-C

Your life is in your hands How to solve your life with

ease Thats always a big question in a puzzled mind

Synchronizing the answer is always necessary Elabo-

ration the next first lets understand why you get a

human life hereditarily Until and unless you have

solved the Rubiks 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 Thats

not a small value Its 70times12=etc

Now whats a shadow side of your life Its 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 dont 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 isnt easy but definitely you can

decide your life Have a success its good defeating

all sort of gratuitous emotions is better and thinking

optimistically is best Like with what the quote moti-

vatesldquoonly when you illuminate otherswithout ex-

pectation or rewardwill you truly understand how to

illuminate yourselfrdquo only remember dont 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 personrsquos 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 personrsquos life

Destiny is not unchangeable the power to do so lies in

your very hands

Savior of all Nikita V IXndash A

Our country is safe

Because of you

You protect our country today

And forever yoursquoll do

Because you are there

And the feelings of love with

Our country we share

Bravery in your fights

And surgical strikes

Salute to you and all

The almighty soldiers

I pledge my glory and

Self Confidence

Anirudh Shetti VI B

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

On assembly he reported beautifully and he was the

best reporter in the assembly There are some more

other positives like positive thinking concentration

good manners being kind etc Like Theodore Roose-

velt said ldquoEach time we face fear we gain strength

courage and confidence in the doingrdquo I will conclude

my article with this quote ldquoBelieve in yourself and

you will be unstoppablerdquo

Pencil

-Aadya Agarwal V

Once I was drawing with a pencil

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 ldquoErase Eraserdquo

I lost my pencil

But it was with my friend Jencil

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 ldquopencilrsquos life is very vastrdquo

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

Taras intelligence

- Pritika Manohar kadam VIII ndashD

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 brothers

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 cant 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

Next day she gathered them and

went to her father and said you

wont help one girl (me) so can

you help us to study Her father was impressed by her

intelligenceHe 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 lsquogoodbyersquo

-Nidhi Mishra VIII-G

Together we laughed

Together we wept

Myriad fond impressions We kept

Jointly we danced like daisy

We didnrsquot bother about others

We chuckled like crazy

Concerning about the fussy was tempestuous

Together we were scintillating

We were engrossed in

Our cackles were uplifting

Something was sinister I remained keen

That gloominess was undesirable

Not you but our disunion was near

Our parting was lamentable

The distance between us was my fear

Our disunion was forthcoming

I wished I could quit it

Tears from our eyes were running

With those yet we had to split

Years had flown by

Not the echo

The ordeal to say a

lsquogoodbyersquo

And to lose a loyal oppo

My dream House

-Harshith Nair IX-B

Voila I have shifted to my new house

Away from those lizards and that cunning mouse

That was once a basic and simple house

Now canrsquot get over the whoaas and wowws

Ancient doors and artefacts with a palatial tinge

Enter and you would feel yoursquove got wings

Vintage artefacts and interiors add to the glam

quotient

A gramophone an antique

telephone that take you to an

era thatrsquos ancient

To me and my brotherrsquos surprise therersquos an excit-

ing bunk bed

Now who sleeps on the top therersquos gonna be a

bloodshed

I hate boasting but this onersquos the icing on the

cake

Let me tell you friends this was a dream all

Friendship

-Divya Johnson VIII ndash I

Friendship has no form

sometimes it makes us feel secure and warm

Sometimes leaves us cold and forlorn

and sometimes gives us the power to go on

We mistake it often for something materializing

but itrsquos free and artistic

It is hard to catch

no other virtue has its match

Indomitable Earth - Poorvi Sanu IX ndashG

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

Intestinal hurdle artwork framed

Mammals fattened by unnatural floating

Wild material machine Unseen

Where does your waste ream

What can I do

It takes more than

one It takes society

Globally to do what

needs to be done

Our footprint is mas-

sive weighty

Join Mother Earth

On our journey here and abroad

Full of disbelief and open scorn

Itrsquos 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 lsquocause guess what ldquoI AM TRAVELLING IN

THE BUMPY TRAINrdquo 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 therersquos 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

and thatrsquos what makes our

India famous and legend-

ary We also get to eat

those India-famous snacks

from all over India like lsquoShehgaon kachorirsquo lsquo Kol-

hapuri misalrsquo 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

Control Yourself - Suvan Lokhande IX-A

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 TV or maybe food

ldquoControl Yourself Kidrdquo ldquoDone not more than

thisrdquo ldquoControlrdquo such types of sentences maybe

familiar to you which must be said by your mom dad

teachers and your elders But thatrsquos exactly true what

they say I know that itrsquos 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

And these changes can definitely make you proudAt

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 lifehelliphellipControl Yourself amp Be the

Change

Nature

- BHUMESH DADHWAL VIImdashC

The earth is full of surprises

Just look around yourself

It can be anywhere around you

Even somewhere in your bookshelf

The most surprising is nature

It can be a human or thing or even a creature

We humans made strong big buildings

But look deep in nature

You will find trees plants and Animals everywhere

Some may be mild And some may be wild

Anger Management

- Sfurti Kumbhar IX-A

AngerhellipThe 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 isnrsquot Itrsquos 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 Irsquom trying to get it

under control Sort of

Impossible right Managing anger sounds easy You

can distract yourself from the situation Permanently

fix an imaginary meter in your brain which indicates

anger level My meter is always near 50-60 When I

say that Irsquom 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 ldquodrink cool water to cool down your warm

headrdquo or breathe Listen to your fav music Or ask

yourself this simple question

ldquoIs getting angry at this person or screaming at them

going to improve my day in any way whatsoeverrdquo

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

ldquofuse blowing offrdquo times since grade 4 Anger may be

one of the smartest issues but we are smarter

You are a masterpiece - Tisha Gangar VIII-A

Monsoon -Isha Bhanushali VIII

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 youWell 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 600 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

I after a while made up my

mind I will set out and go on

my ownI 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 its

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 Moms scolding

Yes because I had stepped inside a big puddle

Soldier - Marisha Nath VIII-C

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

Sati widows shravana shraddha managala gaur

akshaya tritiya child marriage karva chauthhellip

etcetera etcetera etceteraWhat do these words re-

mind you of Yep Thatrsquos right These are all systems

for women

These are sacrifices and systems that women perform

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 processMen work approximately 6 ndash 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 donrsquot

To all the men and boys reading this I have a few

questions for youDo 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 ndash 21

bones at once Did men know this And yet they con-

sider women weak They think that because wersquore

women we cannot thinkIf we cannot think who is

Marie Curie If we are weak who delivers kids

Women arenrsquot any different They are children of

gods They arenrsquot your personal secretaries they are

your partnersOnly 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

ishellipabsolutely nothing

Is this right

Submission to Peer Pressure -Akshat Mishra IX -G

ldquoHey Mohan When did you get this new iPhone-Xrdquo

we asked him in surprise as we knew the financial

condition of his family ldquoMy cousin gifted it to merdquo

quipped Mohan sheepishly All the boys resumed

playing but I knew there was something amissPeer

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

someonersquos 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

arenrsquot 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 arenrsquot 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

ldquoFreedom of Press in Democracyrdquo

- 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

about news from vari-

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

Even if the media subsequently correct a statement the

damage done may be irreparable Hence the media should

take care to carefully investigate any news item before

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

New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 22

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 priceAlso 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

democracySome newspapers espouse the cause of

only one community

ldquoThey do not judge problems on their merits They

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 worldrsquos 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

We all know the present condition of our environment

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 Its 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 beauti-

ful earth and so itrsquos 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 trsquos

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 rdquoEveryone

has a good and a bad side in his life What matters is

the part we choose to act upon rdquoThis is an excellent

thought said by Sirius Black in the movie Harry Pot-

ter Itrsquos 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 donrsquot 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

- Heet Shripal Kankariya VII-G

It is hard to recall the past

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

Dont lose ittry and endeavor

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

With all the night strength and gust

Preserving nature is must

Mother Nature has been so lucrative

Letrsquos do something to save her

Something new and creativersquo

Let us get pollution under control

Before mother Earth weeps and implores

Let clean air sweep

Both high and deep

Let the tiny piece of land

Be clean tidy and neat

Let uncontaminated water be

So that everything doesnrsquot

end like the sea

Let the tree stand

lsquoCause it is more alluring than the seven colour band

Without being loquacious

Mother nature is indeed precious

The Little girl

- Bhumika Sharma VI-F

I found in a garage

Near the carriage

A tiny little baby girl

She had cute blue eyes

Which were very small in size

And had beautiful hair with a cute little curl

I wonder why she was there

And she came fromhellipwhere

I then asked a person passing on the road

If he knew the merciless who

kept her near the horses and

toads

The person replied ldquoWho cares

O Madamhellip

hellipFor a girl who is denied by her

dad and mum

I felt very sad and cried

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 ndashD

It was rainy season

At home came a pigeon

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 didnrsquot fly away

Because I took care

Soon there were three small

eggs

Which were taken care of by the guest

The bird is easy to guess

Because it doesnrsquot make a mess

With its red tail

It looked a bit frail

Between the plants green full full

Was the nest of the little Bulbul

The Art of Dharma as per Mahabharata

- Abhishek Singh [Teacher SrSecondary]

Dharma means the Duty or RighteousnessDharma is

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)Its like the Ying and Yang

Duryodhanarsquos envy for the Pandvarsquos Indraprastha and

Yudhishthirarsquos 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

rivalrsquos possessions or eternal sickness to pull the rival

downThe envy and greed are both presents even in

the

modern day world the failure

of communism was caused by

envy among citizens while 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

Dharma is not justice Its difference between Retribu-

tive Justice and forgiveness While a nation with

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 wasnrsquot happy to see me happy

and I noticed a photograph in my phone which be-

mused me ndash not mentioning how frightened I had be-

come

The picture waswashow can I explain The back-

ground was of my house In the photoI was

sleeping Butbut 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 ndash the

noises from outside noises of something creaking and

the wind forcefully blowing through the thin slit of the

window eerily

I was panic-stricken I

quickly switched my

phone off and kept it on

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 lsquoIt is Tues-

day todayrsquo 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 couldnrsquot bear and today I am here telling 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 wonrsquot 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

- Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D

She lived under a rock

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

From being the young shy girl they saw

But all this struggle slowly had her crumbling

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 lsquolifersquo as its spell

Being myself Irsquoll uplift

Life is too short

Donrsquot be someone else

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 educationWith 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

status of women bringing

them shoulder to shoulder

with men These particular

measures constitute a pro-

cess which is known as ldquoWomen Empowermentrdquo

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 lsquoEscape and start overrsquo

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

embryos is set up they would

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

My vision reflects its flaming intention

Irsquom steady upon the decision

About which Irsquoll never disclaim

Accepting the outcome never blame

To impulse refer those achieves

Itrsquos your resolve donrsquot quit

There wasnrsquot any lose that grieves

There was just a lesson in it

In the decision of mine

I possess optimism in myself

And so I believe everything

will be fine

Though it may be tough

To perceive ones way to success

A dose of victory isnrsquot enough

Television Pros and Cons

- Soumya Sheth

What do most of the people do these days to entertain

themselvesEveryone 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

However like every good and popular inventions tel-

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 elseItrsquos

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 inven-

tion of science in

the right and bene-

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 donrsquot

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

The night before the final examination appears to all

examinees as the night before the Battle of Waterloo

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-

tion they would be

going about their

daily rounds They

may be found in the parks cafes and restaurants talk-

ing about tips ndashtalking 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 ndashconscious 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

-Prajna VIII-D

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 mustnrsquot be exaggerated

Till you salve someonersquos hurt

Elegant you be for the universe to learn your versatility

How can you be silent if you donrsquot know your efficiency

One of the values to become successful is simplicity

Through elegance letrsquos spread positivist

Chocoland - Talreja Aastha IV-J

Once I had been to the Chocolate Land

Chocolate all around to the reach of my hand

Toffees candies lollies and bars

In my mouth a crunchy munchy war

White dark nutty and sweet

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 chocolate car

Soon after it was 6 oclock

And could hear the doorrsquos knock

I woke up in a hurry

Just to realise that it was a dream

Me Myself

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 ldquoHello My friendrdquo but the elephant replied rude-

ly saying ldquoYou tiny

ant Get off my way

otherwise yoursquoll get

crushed to deathrdquo

Hearing this ant

challenged the elephant sayingrdquo My big friend I can

make you cryrdquo The ant quickly climbed onto the trunk

of the elephant and ran towards its earit 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

ldquoPlease come out of my ear I canrsquot bear the painrdquo As

soon as the ant came out the elephant apologized for

its mistake and didnrsquot tease any animals from that day

Grandparents

-Aditya Patil VIII-E

The best place in vacation

A heaven like destination

Their love for us is endless

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

coolest dude

They yell at our parents

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

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

Water is the force behind all the industry agriculture

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

without water No

water no life

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 -Aditys Patil VIII-E

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 askedwhere are

the schools There are no schools here Mother said

dont 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

The Day Irsquoll Never Forget - Saranya Sarangi VII -

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 hadnrsquot the thee

Perished laid the martyrs

Whom our motherland gave birth

I still remember that scaring sight

The scattered limbs I couldnrsquot see

My heart got filled with grief and fright

No Indian could glee

Terribly writhing the soldiers were seen

Some families languished and some

were crying

So loyal to their country they had been

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

I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom

O human Then why do you steal my FREEDOM

Binding me alone in the cage makes me sad

Donrsquot you know caging a bird is bad

Looking at the sky

I wish I could fly

I never disturb you

I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom

O human Then why do you steal my

FREEDOM

Summers in India - Saranya Sarangi VIII

A hot season beginning from April till May is what we

call summer And thatrsquos the basic rule in India But

thatrsquos 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 donrsquot 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-

dents can join different aca-

demic and co-curricular

courses to improve them-

selves Many children even spend time with their fami-

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 lsquoSummers in Indiarsquo

Exams are good or bad

- Nupoor Teli VIIIndashI

In my humble opinionexams are apressure on the stu-

dents They are forced to study and score good

markswhich 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 studybut 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

-daysthe main reason for studying is gaining marks If

there are no marksno career andno success This is the

mindset of 70 people of the worldespecially 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-

verthere are projectssubject-enrichment activi-

tieschapter test sfter every topicnotebookfile submis

sion etcAnd as acherry on top

of the cakewe have the semes-

ter exams of eighty marks as

well What all will the students

do And even if any extra-

curricular activities are being learntthen more extra

studies Just studystudy 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 notThey shouldnt be pressurized for

their marksbut 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 dont pressurize

students for what they dont likeand encourage them in

what they do After allthey 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

Never accept less than best

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 magicalhellip

Life is so magicalhellip

Humility -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D

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 personrsquos 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 personrsquos 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

canrsquot 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 yoursquore not strong enough to

stand up for yourself They think you surrender in-

stead of protesting They will despise and scorn you

but they donrsquot know that you take pleasure in what

you do because they havenrsquot experienced that kind of

joy

So if you do have humility donrsquot 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

Mom -Tanvi Sawant VII-C

OUR FUTURE EARTH - Hiya Purswani VIII-B

We all know the present condition of our environment

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 Its 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 its 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 Itrsquos 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

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 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 Itrsquos 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 donʼt

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 quoterdquo 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 sad it is to lie I know

Floods and Destruction

- Nirvi Soni IV-H

India faces occurrence of floods each year in some

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

Wersquoll surely find the crown

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 might have done greater harm than you might

Think before you speak

There are still places left for you

to seek

Think before you speak

There is a long way to go before

you sleep

Think before you speak

There are hearts you must

please

GLOBAL WARMING - Adhyant Singh VII-F

Global warming refers to the steady rise in the Earthrsquos mean temperature The effect of global

warming had come into sight when polar ice caps started melting this phenomena is called ICE ndash

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 400000000000 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 Earthrsquos surface thus increasing the temperature and also

destroying the ozone layer which prevents the ultraviolet rays of the sun from reaching the earthrsquos surface Al-

so burning fossil fuel contributes to the problem Effects of global warming have also led to the increase in the

What will happen without Instagram

- Kaavya Chaudhary VII-F

Instagram Instagram Instagram

I was hearing it from everyone

I asked who was the inventor

Nobody knew the answer to my question

Mobiles Mobiles Mobiles

I was able to see them everywhere

I asked who was the inventor

Again nobody was aware

I wondered why was it like so

Why is it they donrsquot know

There was one time we were

engrossed in books

Now we care more about our looks

Instagram wonrsquot give you a job

You will have to study and top

Your fellow followers wonrsquot help either

If you donrsquot have a job no one will bother

I am a tree

- Yashawini Pillai

I am a tree

With a dark green crown

And a thick strong trunk

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

Its the night

The moon is white

When we switch off the light

What a beautiful sight

After this comes the sun bright

There is no more artificial light

This is the time to start your diet

To go for a run wearing tights

Then comes the evening when

you have snacks light

And fly a big colorful kite

or include your sibling in a pillow fight

Again comes the night

A moon which is white

We switch off the light

A beautiful sight

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 didnt 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 Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane

with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing

speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt 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-

perloops 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 itThe first Hyperloop ndash 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

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

wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-

ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities

chapter test after every topic notebookfile 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

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 lifeI fell that exams

should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate

whether the students are clear with the concepts or

not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but

should be made understand their mistakes Let them

choose their own career options on their own Help

them know what they like to study and what they want

to do in their life So dont pressurize students for

what they dont like and encourage them in what they

do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the

country

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B

Life is all about interactions You meet people and

you interact You observe them consciously or sub-

consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us

more than we even realise Some people leave a last-

ing impression on us and entirely change the course of

life for better or for worse Some people influence us

help us go further and make all the difference

I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-

tial people They have taken care of me ever since I

came into this world They are the ones who wish the

best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-

cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel

no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-

come a part of my personality They are the ones who

helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me

to be better

When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are

the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-

takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique

learning experience It has made me realise how eve-

rything they do has a reason They are the ones who

have taught me the importance of the little things in

life They are the ones who have helped me recognize

and follow my passion The very thought of them not

being a part of my life is scary to the least as without

them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am

today and whatever I have achieved is all because of

them and I am very grateful of that

Eyesight

-Aditi Shenoy VIII-F

The tired little girl went to bed

Recollecting the days bygone

Seeing them in her dreams

As the day she was born

Trying to see the world

With her little eyes

But the sun with his brightness

Wouldnt let her catch the sights

The girl still eager

And curious to see the world around her

Again opened her eyes

But her vision was blurred

Still she did not lose hope

Which flowed through her blood

Encouraging and pushing her

To see the world further

Her heart beating fast

Her enthusiasm increasing

She slowly tried to see

With her eyes continuously blinking

Starting to lose hope

She was ready to give up

But curiosity got the upper hand

And pushed her forward

With her hope again rising

and strength in her eyesight

She is finally seeing the world

With wide open eyes

Conquering the space

-Marisha Nath VIII-C

ldquoThere is no failure in Science it is only continual

effort to conquer the unknown On the way even if we

face failure it rather adds more value to our effort for

our next journey to know the unknownrdquo

Chandrayan-2 Indiarsquos Moon Mission The dream of

entire India to land on moon and become the 4th Na-

tion in the world to put its flag on the soil of moon

after USSR USA amp China

ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launched

Chandrayan-2 on 22nd July 2019 from Bengaluru

(Satish Dhawan Space Center) under the command of

ISRO chief K Shivan It consists of ORBITER

LANDER amp Lunar Rover PRAGYAN Like Chandra-

yan-1(22nd Oct2008) it was Indiarsquos indigenous moon

mission

It touched the Moon Surface on Saturday early morn-

ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-

ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-

ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of

moon it lost contact with the ground station Because

of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be

monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m

(approx) away from its assigned location near

SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still

orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange

signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it

The ORBITER which will remain active for another

12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-

owed portion of the moon for the first time in history

with the help of its high-resolution camera

The entire Nation irrespective of their field of

knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front

of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of

VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true

Indians who always dream progress and development

of their motherland But our heart never accepts this

as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement

for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-

pose of our mission

But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at

this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring

country quoting this as a big failure on part of India

blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos

money on this

Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will

be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to

this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other

nations on such missions

Further I should say that India is not new in the field

of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-

TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975

It was named after famous scientist of ancient India

ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested

for the first time the HELIOCENTRIC THEORY

(Sun at the center and all planets revolve around the

Sun) of the Solar System much earlier than ready for

New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 57

COPERNICUS as believed in the western world

Other countries might have moon on their flags but

we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is

great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are

whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-

rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is

only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the

unknown and its continual application for the benefit

of the mankind)rdquo

Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by

various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-

PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-

cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958

onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as

46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was

attempted out of which only 21 was successful

Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-

tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the

overall attempts conducted by other Nations

USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-

NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was

planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January

SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR

successfully on moon

NASA after many attempts was successful to send

first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th

July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk

on moon

Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-

clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-

SION MANGAL for our next moon mission

Savior of all Nikita V IXndash A

Our country is safe

Because of you

You protect our country today

And forever yoursquoll do

The tri-colour will glare

Because you are there

And the feelings of love with

Our country we share

Bravery in your fights

And surgical strikes

Salute to you and all

The almighty soldiers

I pledge my glory and

will always be proud of your story

Self Confidence

Anirudh Shetti VI B

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

On assembly he reported beautifully and he was the

best reporter in the assembly There are some more

other positives like positive thinking concentration

good manners being kind etc Like Theodore Roose-

velt said ldquoEach time we face fear we gain strength

courage and confidence in the doingrdquo I will conclude

my article with this quote ldquoBelieve in yourself and

you will be unstoppablerdquo

Pencil

-Aadya Agarwal V

Once I was drawing with a pencil

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 ldquoErase Eraserdquo

I lost my pencil

But it was with my friend Jencil

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 ldquopencilrsquos life is very vastrdquo

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

Taras intelligence

- Pritika Manohar kadam VIII ndashD

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 brothers

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 cant 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

Next day she gathered them and

went to her father and said you

wont help one girl (me) so can

you help us to study Her father was impressed by her

intelligenceHe 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 lsquogoodbyersquo

-Nidhi Mishra VIII-G

Together we laughed

Together we wept

Myriad fond impressions We kept

Jointly we danced like daisy

We didnrsquot bother about others

We chuckled like crazy

Concerning about the fussy was tempestuous

Together we were scintillating

We were engrossed in

Our cackles were uplifting

Something was sinister I remained keen

That gloominess was undesirable

Not you but our disunion was near

Our parting was lamentable

The distance between us was my fear

Our disunion was forthcoming

I wished I could quit it

Tears from our eyes were running

With those yet we had to split

Years had flown by

Not the echo

The ordeal to say a

And to lose a loyal oppo

My dream House

-Harshith Nair IX-B

Voila I have shifted to my new house

Away from those lizards and that cunning mouse

That was once a basic and simple house

Now canrsquot get over the whoaas and wowws

Ancient doors and artefacts with a palatial tinge

Enter and you would feel yoursquove got wings

Vintage artefacts and interiors add to the glam

quotient

A gramophone an antique

telephone that take you to an

era thatrsquos ancient

To me and my brotherrsquos surprise therersquos an excit-

ing bunk bed

Now who sleeps on the top therersquos gonna be a

bloodshed

I hate boasting but this onersquos the icing on the

cake

Let me tell you friends this was a dream all

fake

Friendship

-Divya Johnson VIII ndash I

Friendship has no form

sometimes it makes us feel secure and warm

Sometimes leaves us cold and forlorn

and sometimes gives us the power to go on

We mistake it often for something materializing

but itrsquos free and artistic

It is hard to catch

no other virtue has its match

Indomitable Earth - Poorvi Sanu IX ndashG

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

Intestinal hurdle artwork framed

Mammals fattened by unnatural floating

Wild material machine Unseen

Where does your waste ream

What can I do

It takes more than

one It takes society

Globally to do what

needs to be done

Our footprint is mas-

sive weighty

Join Mother Earth

On our journey here and abroad

Full of disbelief and open scorn

Itrsquos 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 lsquocause guess what ldquoI AM TRAVELLING IN

THE BUMPY TRAINrdquo 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 therersquos 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

and thatrsquos what makes our

India famous and legend-

ary We also get to eat

those India-famous snacks

from all over India like lsquoShehgaon kachorirsquo lsquo Kol-

hapuri misalrsquo 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

Control Yourself - Suvan Lokhande IX-A

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 TV or maybe food

ldquoControl Yourself Kidrdquo ldquoDone not more than

thisrdquo ldquoControlrdquo such types of sentences maybe

familiar to you which must be said by your mom dad

teachers and your elders But thatrsquos exactly true what

they say I know that itrsquos 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

And these changes can definitely make you proudAt

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 lifehelliphellipControl Yourself amp Be the

Change

The earth is full of surprises

Just look around yourself

It can be anywhere around you

Even somewhere in your bookshelf

The most surprising is nature

Itrsquos full of different stuff

It can be a human or thing or even a creature

We humans made strong big buildings

And thatrsquos 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

Anger Management

- Sfurti Kumbhar IX-A

AngerhellipThe 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 isnrsquot Itrsquos 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 Irsquom trying to get it

under control Sort of

Impossible right Managing anger sounds easy You

can distract yourself from the situation Permanently

fix an imaginary meter in your brain which indicates

anger level My meter is always near 50-60 When I

say that Irsquom 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 ldquodrink cool water to cool down your warm

headrdquo or breathe Listen to your fav music Or ask

yourself this simple question

ldquoIs getting angry at this person or screaming at them

going to improve my day in any way whatsoeverrdquo

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

ldquofuse blowing offrdquo 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

The voice is so pretty

That it charms in the whole city

There is dance in your smile

With moves in a pile

You make people laugh

Monsoon -Isha Bhanushali VIII

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 youWell 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 600 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

I after a while made up my

mind I will set out and go on

my ownI 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 its

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 Moms scolding

Yes because I had stepped inside a big puddle

Soldier - Marisha Nath VIII-C

Dear soldier you sacrifice yourself for your nation

You are our savior

You are in the list of Godrsquos 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

Sati widows shravana shraddha managala gaur

akshaya tritiya child marriage karva chauthhellip

etcetera etcetera etceteraWhat do these words re-

mind you of Yep Thatrsquos right These are all systems

for women

These are sacrifices and systems that women perform

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 processMen work approximately 6 ndash 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 donrsquot

To all the men and boys reading this I have a few

questions for youDo 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 ndash 21

bones at once Did men know this And yet they con-

sider women weak They think that because wersquore

women we cannot thinkIf we cannot think who is

Marie Curie If we are weak who delivers kids

Women arenrsquot any different They are children of

gods They arenrsquot your personal secretaries they are

your partnersOnly 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

ishellipabsolutely nothing

Is this right

Submission to Peer Pressure -Akshat Mishra IX -G

ldquoHey Mohan When did you get this new iPhone-Xrdquo

we asked him in surprise as we knew the financial

condition of his family ldquoMy cousin gifted it to merdquo

quipped Mohan sheepishly All the boys resumed

playing but I knew there was something amissPeer

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

someonersquos 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

arenrsquot 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 arenrsquot 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

ldquoFreedom of Press in Democracyrdquo

- 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

about news from vari-

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

Even if the media subsequently correct a statement the

damage done may be irreparable Hence the media should

take care to carefully investigate any news item before

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

New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 22

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 priceAlso 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

democracySome newspapers espouse the cause of

only one community

ldquoThey do not judge problems on their merits They

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 worldrsquos 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

We all know the present condition of our environment

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 Its 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 beauti-

ful earth and so itrsquos 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 trsquos

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 rdquoEveryone

has a good and a bad side in his life What matters is

the part we choose to act upon rdquoThis is an excellent

thought said by Sirius Black in the movie Harry Pot-

ter Itrsquos 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 donrsquot 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

- Heet Shripal Kankariya VII-G

It is hard to recall the past

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

Dont lose ittry and endeavor

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

With all the night strength and gust

Preserving nature is must

Mother Nature has been so lucrative

Letrsquos do something to save her

Something new and creativersquo

Let us get pollution under control

Before mother Earth weeps and implores

Let clean air sweep

Both high and deep

Let the tiny piece of land

Be clean tidy and neat

Let uncontaminated water be

So that everything doesnrsquot

end like the sea

Let the tree stand

lsquoCause it is more alluring than the seven colour band

Without being loquacious

Mother nature is indeed precious

The Little girl

- Bhumika Sharma VI-F

I found in a garage

Near the carriage

A tiny little baby girl

She had cute blue eyes

Which were very small in size

And had beautiful hair with a cute little curl

I wonder why she was there

And she came fromhellipwhere

I then asked a person passing on the road

If he knew the merciless who

kept her near the horses and

toads

The person replied ldquoWho cares

O Madamhellip

hellipFor a girl who is denied by her

dad and mum

I felt very sad and cried

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 ndashD

It was rainy season

At home came a pigeon

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 didnrsquot fly away

Because I took care

Soon there were three small

eggs

Which were taken care of by the guest

The bird is easy to guess

Because it doesnrsquot make a mess

With its red tail

It looked a bit frail

Between the plants green full full

Was the nest of the little Bulbul

The Art of Dharma as per Mahabharata

- Abhishek Singh [Teacher SrSecondary]

Dharma means the Duty or RighteousnessDharma is

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)Its like the Ying and Yang

Duryodhanarsquos envy for the Pandvarsquos Indraprastha and

Yudhishthirarsquos 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

rivalrsquos possessions or eternal sickness to pull the rival

downThe envy and greed are both presents even in

the

modern day world the failure

of communism was caused by

envy among citizens while 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

Dharma is not justice Its difference between Retribu-

tive Justice and forgiveness While a nation with

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 wasnrsquot happy to see me happy

and I noticed a photograph in my phone which be-

mused me ndash not mentioning how frightened I had be-

come

The picture waswashow can I explain The back-

ground was of my house In the photoI was

sleeping Butbut 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 ndash the

noises from outside noises of something creaking and

the wind forcefully blowing through the thin slit of the

window eerily

I was panic-stricken I

quickly switched my

phone off and kept it on

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 lsquoIt is Tues-

day todayrsquo 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 couldnrsquot 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 doesnrsquot 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 wonrsquot 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

- Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D

She lived under a rock

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

From being the young shy girl they saw

But all this struggle slowly had her crumbling

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 lsquolifersquo as its spell

Being myself Irsquoll uplift

Life is too short

Donrsquot be someone else

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 educationWith 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

status of women bringing

them shoulder to shoulder

with men These particular

measures constitute a pro-

cess which is known as ldquoWomen Empowermentrdquo

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 lsquoEscape and start overrsquo

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

embryos is set up they would

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

Television Pros and Cons

- Soumya Sheth

What do most of the people do these days to entertain

themselvesEveryone 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

However like every good and popular inventions tel-

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 elseItrsquos

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 inven-

tion of science in

the right and bene-

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 donrsquot

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

The night before the final examination appears to all

examinees as the night before the Battle of Waterloo

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-

tion they would be

going about their

daily rounds They

may be found in the parks cafes and restaurants talk-

ing about tips ndashtalking 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 ndashconscious 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

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 ldquoHello My friendrdquo but the elephant replied rude-

ly saying ldquoYou tiny

ant Get off my way

otherwise yoursquoll get

crushed to deathrdquo

Hearing this ant

challenged the elephant sayingrdquo My big friend I can

make you cryrdquo The ant quickly climbed onto the trunk

of the elephant and ran towards its earit 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

ldquoPlease come out of my ear I canrsquot bear the painrdquo As

soon as the ant came out the elephant apologized for

its mistake and didnrsquot tease any animals from that day

Grandparents

-Aditya Patil VIII-E

The best place in vacation

A heaven like destination

Their love for us is endless

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

coolest dude

They yell at our parents

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 ldquoWomen Empowermentrdquo 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

Water is the force behind all the industry agriculture

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

without water No

water no life

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 -Aditys Patil VIII-E

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 askedwhere are

the schools There are no schools here Mother said

dont 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

The Day Irsquoll Never Forget - Saranya Sarangi VII -

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 hadnrsquot the thee

Perished laid the martyrs

Whom our motherland gave birth

I still remember that scaring sight

The scattered limbs I couldnrsquot see

My heart got filled with grief and fright

No Indian could glee

Terribly writhing the soldiers were seen

Some families languished and some

were crying

So loyal to their country they had been

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

I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom

O human Then why do you steal my FREEDOM

Binding me alone in the cage makes me sad

Donrsquot you know caging a bird is bad

Looking at the sky

I wish I could fly

I never disturb you

I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom

O human Then why do you steal my

FREEDOM

Summers in India - Saranya Sarangi VIII

A hot season beginning from April till May is what we

call summer And thatrsquos the basic rule in India But

thatrsquos 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 donrsquot 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-

dents can join different aca-

demic and co-curricular

courses to improve them-

selves Many children even spend time with their fami-

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 lsquoSummers in Indiarsquo

Exams are good or bad

- Nupoor Teli VIIIndashI

In my humble opinionexams are apressure on the stu-

dents They are forced to study and score good

markswhich 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 studybut 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

-daysthe main reason for studying is gaining marks If

there are no marksno career andno success This is the

mindset of 70 people of the worldespecially 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-

verthere are projectssubject-enrichment activi-

tieschapter test sfter every topicnotebookfile submis

sion etcAnd as acherry on top

of the cakewe have the semes-

ter exams of eighty marks as

well What all will the students

do And even if any extra-

curricular activities are being learntthen more extra

studies Just studystudy 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 notThey shouldnt be pressurized for

their marksbut 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 dont pressurize

students for what they dont likeand encourage them in

what they do After allthey 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

Never accept less than best

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 magicalhellip

Life is so magicalhellip

Humility -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D

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 personrsquos 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 personrsquos 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

canrsquot 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 yoursquore not strong enough to

stand up for yourself They think you surrender in-

stead of protesting They will despise and scorn you

but they donrsquot know that you take pleasure in what

you do because they havenrsquot experienced that kind of

joy

So if you do have humility donrsquot 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

Mom -Tanvi Sawant VII-C

Oh mom I came to this beautiful world just because

of youhellip

Mom what would I do without you

Oh mom there are thorns on the way

But you manage to get me awayhellip

Oh mom I canrsquot say how much yoursquore to me

Mom just promise me that yoursquoll and

always be with mehellip

Oh mom this world is incomplete

without you

Just like the sky without itrsquos bright color bluehellip

Oh mom yoursquore the candle that showed the way in the

dark

My dear mom you made my life spark

OUR FUTURE EARTH - Hiya Purswani VIII-B

We all know the present condition of our environment

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 Its 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 its 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 Itrsquos 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

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 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 Itrsquos 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 donʼt

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 quoterdquo 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

And wait the unfailing gray

Oh Sad are winter nights and slow

And sad is a song thatrsquos dumb

And sad it is to lie I know

Another dawn will come

Floods and Destruction

- Nirvi Soni IV-H

India faces occurrence of floods each year in some

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

Good Morning Everyone -Vyomi ThakkarVI - H

Wersquoll 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

-Shravya Atreya IX-D

Think before you speak

There are hearts you must please

Think before you speak

You canrsquot undo the harm done after you squeak

Think before you speak

You might have done greater harm than you might

think

Think before you speak

There are still places left for you

to seek

Think before you speak

There is a long way to go before

you sleep

Think before you speak

There are hearts you must

please

GLOBAL WARMING - Adhyant Singh VII-F

Global warming refers to the steady rise in the Earthrsquos mean temperature The effect of global

warming had come into sight when polar ice caps started melting this phenomena is called ICE ndash

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 400000000000 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 Earthrsquos surface thus increasing the temperature and also

destroying the ozone layer which prevents the ultraviolet rays of the sun from reaching the earthrsquos 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 (CFCrsquoS) 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

earthrsquos doomsday we all must work together

Itrsquos not too late there is still timehellipBefore the earth ends and we whinehellipSo keep on marching and planting

greens To end Global Warming and Make our planet greenhellip

The Night - Matangi Rajesh VII-D

Its the night

The moon is white

When we switch off the light

What a beautiful sight

After this comes the sun bright

There is no more artificial light

This is the time to start your diet

To go for a run wearing tights

Then comes the evening when

you have snacks light

And fly a big colorful kite

or include your sibling in a pillow fight

Again comes the night

A moon which is white

We switch off the light

A beautiful sight

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 didnt 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 Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane

with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing

speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt 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-

perloops 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 itThe first Hyperloop ndash 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

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

wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-

ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities

chapter test after every topic notebookfile 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

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 lifeI fell that exams

should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate

whether the students are clear with the concepts or

not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but

should be made understand their mistakes Let them

choose their own career options on their own Help

them know what they like to study and what they want

to do in their life So dont pressurize students for

what they dont like and encourage them in what they

do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the

country

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B

Life is all about interactions You meet people and

you interact You observe them consciously or sub-

consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us

more than we even realise Some people leave a last-

ing impression on us and entirely change the course of

life for better or for worse Some people influence us

help us go further and make all the difference

I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-

tial people They have taken care of me ever since I

came into this world They are the ones who wish the

best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-

cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel

no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-

come a part of my personality They are the ones who

helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me

to be better

When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are

the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-

takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique

learning experience It has made me realise how eve-

rything they do has a reason They are the ones who

have taught me the importance of the little things in

life They are the ones who have helped me recognize

and follow my passion The very thought of them not

being a part of my life is scary to the least as without

them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am

today and whatever I have achieved is all because of

them and I am very grateful of that

Eyesight

-Aditi Shenoy VIII-F

The tired little girl went to bed

Recollecting the days bygone

Seeing them in her dreams

As the day she was born

Trying to see the world

With her little eyes

But the sun with his brightness

Wouldnt let her catch the sights

The girl still eager

And curious to see the world around her

Again opened her eyes

But her vision was blurred

Still she did not lose hope

Which flowed through her blood

Encouraging and pushing her

To see the world further

Her heart beating fast

Her enthusiasm increasing

She slowly tried to see

With her eyes continuously blinking

Starting to lose hope

She was ready to give up

But curiosity got the upper hand

And pushed her forward

With her hope again rising

and strength in her eyesight

She is finally seeing the world

With wide open eyes

Conquering the space

-Marisha Nath VIII-C

ldquoThere is no failure in Science it is only continual

effort to conquer the unknown On the way even if we

face failure it rather adds more value to our effort for

our next journey to know the unknownrdquo

Chandrayan-2 Indiarsquos Moon Mission The dream of

entire India to land on moon and become the 4th Na-

tion in the world to put its flag on the soil of moon

after USSR USA amp China

ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launched

Chandrayan-2 on 22nd July 2019 from Bengaluru

(Satish Dhawan Space Center) under the command of

ISRO chief K Shivan It consists of ORBITER

LANDER amp Lunar Rover PRAGYAN Like Chandra-

yan-1(22nd Oct2008) it was Indiarsquos indigenous moon

mission

It touched the Moon Surface on Saturday early morn-

ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-

ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-

ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of

moon it lost contact with the ground station Because

of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be

monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m

(approx) away from its assigned location near

SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still

orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange

signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it

The ORBITER which will remain active for another

12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-

owed portion of the moon for the first time in history

with the help of its high-resolution camera

The entire Nation irrespective of their field of

knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front

of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of

VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true

Indians who always dream progress and development

of their motherland But our heart never accepts this

as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement

for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-

pose of our mission

But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at

this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring

country quoting this as a big failure on part of India

blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos

money on this

Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will

be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to

this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other

nations on such missions

Further I should say that India is not new in the field

of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-

TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975

It was named after famous scientist of ancient India

ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested

for the first time the HELIOCENTRIC THEORY

(Sun at the center and all planets revolve around the

Sun) of the Solar System much earlier than ready for

New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 57

COPERNICUS as believed in the western world

Other countries might have moon on their flags but

we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is

great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are

whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-

rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is

only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the

unknown and its continual application for the benefit

of the mankind)rdquo

Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by

various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-

PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-

cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958

onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as

46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was

attempted out of which only 21 was successful

Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-

tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the

overall attempts conducted by other Nations

USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-

NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was

planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January

SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR

successfully on moon

NASA after many attempts was successful to send

first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th

July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk

on moon

Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-

clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-

SION MANGAL for our next moon mission

Savior of all Nikita V IXndash A

Our country is safe

Because of you

You protect our country today

And forever yoursquoll do

The tri-colour will glare

Because you are there

And the feelings of love with

Our country we share

Bravery in your fights

And surgical strikes

Salute to you and all

The almighty soldiers

I pledge my glory and

will always be proud of your story

Self Confidence

Anirudh Shetti VI B

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

On assembly he reported beautifully and he was the

best reporter in the assembly There are some more

other positives like positive thinking concentration

good manners being kind etc Like Theodore Roose-

velt said ldquoEach time we face fear we gain strength

courage and confidence in the doingrdquo I will conclude

my article with this quote ldquoBelieve in yourself and

you will be unstoppablerdquo

Pencil

-Aadya Agarwal V

Once I was drawing with a pencil

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 ldquoErase Eraserdquo

I lost my pencil

But it was with my friend Jencil

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 ldquopencilrsquos life is very vastrdquo

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

Taras intelligence

- Pritika Manohar kadam VIII ndashD

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 brothers

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 cant 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

Next day she gathered them and

went to her father and said you

wont help one girl (me) so can

you help us to study Her father was impressed by her

intelligenceHe 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 lsquogoodbyersquo

-Nidhi Mishra VIII-G

Together we laughed

Together we wept

Myriad fond impressions We kept

Jointly we danced like daisy

We didnrsquot bother about others

We chuckled like crazy

Concerning about the fussy was tempestuous

Together we were scintillating

We were engrossed in

Our cackles were uplifting

Something was sinister I remained keen

That gloominess was undesirable

Not you but our disunion was near

Our parting was lamentable

The distance between us was my fear

Our disunion was forthcoming

I wished I could quit it

Tears from our eyes were running

With those yet we had to split

Years had flown by

Not the echo

The ordeal to say a

And to lose a loyal oppo

My dream House

-Harshith Nair IX-B

Voila I have shifted to my new house

Away from those lizards and that cunning mouse

That was once a basic and simple house

Now canrsquot get over the whoaas and wowws

Ancient doors and artefacts with a palatial tinge

Enter and you would feel yoursquove got wings

Vintage artefacts and interiors add to the glam

quotient

A gramophone an antique

telephone that take you to an

era thatrsquos ancient

To me and my brotherrsquos surprise therersquos an excit-

ing bunk bed

Now who sleeps on the top therersquos gonna be a

I hate boasting but this onersquos the icing on the

Let me tell you friends this was a dream all

Friendship

-Divya Johnson VIII ndash I

Friendship has no form

sometimes it makes us feel secure and warm

Sometimes leaves us cold and forlorn

and sometimes gives us the power to go on

We mistake it often for something materializing

but itrsquos free and artistic

It is hard to catch

no other virtue has its match

Indomitable Earth - Poorvi Sanu IX ndashG

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

Intestinal hurdle artwork framed

Mammals fattened by unnatural floating

Wild material machine Unseen

Where does your waste ream

What can I do

It takes more than

one It takes society

Globally to do what

needs to be done

Our footprint is mas-

sive weighty

Join Mother Earth

On our journey here and abroad

Full of disbelief and open scorn

Itrsquos 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 lsquocause guess what ldquoI AM TRAVELLING IN

THE BUMPY TRAINrdquo 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 therersquos 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

and thatrsquos what makes our

India famous and legend-

ary We also get to eat

those India-famous snacks

from all over India like lsquoShehgaon kachorirsquo lsquo Kol-

hapuri misalrsquo 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

Control Yourself - Suvan Lokhande IX-A

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 TV or maybe food

ldquoControl Yourself Kidrdquo ldquoDone not more than

thisrdquo ldquoControlrdquo such types of sentences maybe

familiar to you which must be said by your mom dad

teachers and your elders But thatrsquos exactly true what

they say I know that itrsquos 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

And these changes can definitely make you proudAt

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 lifehelliphellipControl Yourself amp Be the

Change

Anger Management

- Sfurti Kumbhar IX-A

AngerhellipThe 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 isnrsquot Itrsquos 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 Irsquom trying to get it

under control Sort of

Impossible right Managing anger sounds easy You

can distract yourself from the situation Permanently

fix an imaginary meter in your brain which indicates

anger level My meter is always near 50-60 When I

say that Irsquom 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 ldquodrink cool water to cool down your warm

headrdquo or breathe Listen to your fav music Or ask

yourself this simple question

ldquoIs getting angry at this person or screaming at them

going to improve my day in any way whatsoeverrdquo

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

ldquofuse blowing offrdquo 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

The voice is so pretty

memories

That are soothing just like a

breeze

You are a Masterpiece

With an end number of skills

Creativity is your strength

Keep safe till the end

Monsoon -Isha Bhanushali VIII

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 youWell 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 600 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

I after a while made up my

mind I will set out and go on

my ownI 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 its

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 Moms scolding

Yes because I had stepped inside a big puddle

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

Sati widows shravana shraddha managala gaur

akshaya tritiya child marriage karva chauthhellip

etcetera etcetera etceteraWhat do these words re-

mind you of Yep Thatrsquos right These are all systems

for women

These are sacrifices and systems that women perform

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 processMen work approximately 6 ndash 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 donrsquot

To all the men and boys reading this I have a few

questions for youDo 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 ndash 21

bones at once Did men know this And yet they con-

sider women weak They think that because wersquore

women we cannot thinkIf we cannot think who is

Marie Curie If we are weak who delivers kids

Women arenrsquot any different They are children of

gods They arenrsquot your personal secretaries they are

your partnersOnly 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

ishellipabsolutely nothing

Is this right

Submission to Peer Pressure -Akshat Mishra IX -G

ldquoHey Mohan When did you get this new iPhone-Xrdquo

we asked him in surprise as we knew the financial

condition of his family ldquoMy cousin gifted it to merdquo

quipped Mohan sheepishly All the boys resumed

playing but I knew there was something amissPeer

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

someonersquos 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

arenrsquot 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 arenrsquot 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

ldquoFreedom of Press in Democracyrdquo

- 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

about news from vari-

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

Even if the media subsequently correct a statement the

damage done may be irreparable Hence the media should

take care to carefully investigate any news item before

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

New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 22

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 priceAlso 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

democracySome newspapers espouse the cause of

only one community

ldquoThey do not judge problems on their merits They

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 worldrsquos 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

We all know the present condition of our environment

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 Its 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 beauti-

ful earth and so itrsquos 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 trsquos

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 rdquoEveryone

has a good and a bad side in his life What matters is

the part we choose to act upon rdquoThis is an excellent

thought said by Sirius Black in the movie Harry Pot-

ter Itrsquos 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 donrsquot 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

- Heet Shripal Kankariya VII-G

It is hard to recall the past

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

Dont lose ittry and endeavor

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

With all the night strength and gust

Preserving nature is must

Mother Nature has been so lucrative

Letrsquos do something to save her

Something new and creativersquo

Let us get pollution under control

Before mother Earth weeps and implores

Let clean air sweep

Both high and deep

Let the tiny piece of land

Be clean tidy and neat

Let uncontaminated water be

So that everything doesnrsquot

end like the sea

Let the tree stand

lsquoCause it is more alluring than the seven colour band

Without being loquacious

Mother nature is indeed precious

The Little girl

- Bhumika Sharma VI-F

I found in a garage

Near the carriage

A tiny little baby girl

She had cute blue eyes

Which were very small in size

And had beautiful hair with a cute little curl

I wonder why she was there

And she came fromhellipwhere

I then asked a person passing on the road

If he knew the merciless who

kept her near the horses and

toads

The person replied ldquoWho cares

O Madamhellip

hellipFor a girl who is denied by her

dad and mum

I felt very sad and cried

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 ndashD

It was rainy season

At home came a pigeon

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 didnrsquot fly away

Because I took care

Soon there were three small

eggs

Which were taken care of by the guest

The bird is easy to guess

Because it doesnrsquot make a mess

With its red tail

It looked a bit frail

Between the plants green full full

Was the nest of the little Bulbul

The Art of Dharma as per Mahabharata

- Abhishek Singh [Teacher SrSecondary]

Dharma means the Duty or RighteousnessDharma is

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)Its like the Ying and Yang

Duryodhanarsquos envy for the Pandvarsquos Indraprastha and

Yudhishthirarsquos 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

rivalrsquos possessions or eternal sickness to pull the rival

downThe envy and greed are both presents even in

the

modern day world the failure

of communism was caused by

envy among citizens while 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

Dharma is not justice Its difference between Retribu-

tive Justice and forgiveness While a nation with

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 wasnrsquot happy to see me happy

and I noticed a photograph in my phone which be-

mused me ndash not mentioning how frightened I had be-

come

The picture waswashow can I explain The back-

ground was of my house In the photoI was

sleeping Butbut 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 ndash the

noises from outside noises of something creaking and

the wind forcefully blowing through the thin slit of the

window eerily

I was panic-stricken I

quickly switched my

phone off and kept it on

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 lsquoIt is Tues-

day todayrsquo 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 couldnrsquot 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 doesnrsquot 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 wonrsquot 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

- Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D

She lived under a rock

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

From being the young shy girl they saw

But all this struggle slowly had her crumbling

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 lsquolifersquo as its spell

Being myself Irsquoll uplift

Life is too short

Donrsquot be someone else

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 educationWith 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

status of women bringing

them shoulder to shoulder

with men These particular

measures constitute a pro-

cess which is known as ldquoWomen Empowermentrdquo

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 lsquoEscape and start overrsquo

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

embryos is set up they would

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

Television Pros and Cons

- Soumya Sheth

What do most of the people do these days to entertain

themselvesEveryone 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

However like every good and popular inventions tel-

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 elseItrsquos

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 inven-

tion of science in

the right and bene-

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 donrsquot

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

The night before the final examination appears to all

examinees as the night before the Battle of Waterloo

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-

tion they would be

going about their

daily rounds They

may be found in the parks cafes and restaurants talk-

ing about tips ndashtalking 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 ndashconscious 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

-Prajna VIII-D

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 mustnrsquot be exaggerated

Elegant you be for the universe to learn your versatility

How can you be silent if you donrsquot know your efficiency

One of the values to become successful is simplicity

Through elegance letrsquos spread positivist

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 chocolate car

Soon after it was 6 oclock

And could hear the doorrsquos 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 ldquoHello My friendrdquo but the elephant replied rude-

ly saying ldquoYou tiny

ant Get off my way

otherwise yoursquoll get

crushed to deathrdquo

Hearing this ant

challenged the elephant sayingrdquo My big friend I can

make you cryrdquo The ant quickly climbed onto the trunk

of the elephant and ran towards its earit 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

ldquoPlease come out of my ear I canrsquot bear the painrdquo As

soon as the ant came out the elephant apologized for

its mistake and didnrsquot tease any animals from that day

Grandparents

-Aditya Patil VIII-E

The best place in vacation

A heaven like destination

Their love for us is endless

All their sacrifices are worthless

Great is their surrounding divinity

To your grandparents never be rude

Because they are your

coolest dude

They yell at our parents

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

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

Water is the force behind all the industry agriculture

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

without water No

water no life

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 -Aditys Patil VIII-E

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 askedwhere are

the schools There are no schools here Mother said

dont 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

The Day Irsquoll Never Forget - Saranya Sarangi VII -

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 hadnrsquot the thee

Perished laid the martyrs

Whom our motherland gave birth

I still remember that scaring sight

The scattered limbs I couldnrsquot see

My heart got filled with grief and fright

No Indian could glee

Terribly writhing the soldiers were seen

Some families languished and some

were crying

So loyal to their country they had been

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

Looking at the sky

I wish I could fly

I never disturb you

I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom

Summers in India - Saranya Sarangi VIII

A hot season beginning from April till May is what we

call summer And thatrsquos the basic rule in India But

thatrsquos 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 donrsquot 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-

dents can join different aca-

demic and co-curricular

courses to improve them-

selves Many children even spend time with their fami-

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 lsquoSummers in Indiarsquo

Exams are good or bad

- Nupoor Teli VIIIndashI

In my humble opinionexams are apressure on the stu-

dents They are forced to study and score good

markswhich 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 studybut 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

-daysthe main reason for studying is gaining marks If

there are no marksno career andno success This is the

mindset of 70 people of the worldespecially 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-

verthere are projectssubject-enrichment activi-

tieschapter test sfter every topicnotebookfile submis

sion etcAnd as acherry on top

of the cakewe have the semes-

ter exams of eighty marks as

well What all will the students

do And even if any extra-

curricular activities are being learntthen more extra

studies Just studystudy 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 notThey shouldnt be pressurized for

their marksbut 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 dont pressurize

students for what they dont likeand encourage them in

what they do After allthey are only the Rising stars of

the country

bleness can make a personrsquos 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

canrsquot 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 yoursquore not strong enough to

stand up for yourself They think you surrender in-

stead of protesting They will despise and scorn you

but they donrsquot know that you take pleasure in what

you do because they havenrsquot experienced that kind of

joy

So if you do have humility donrsquot 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

I am the EARTH - Deepashikha P VII F

Hello I am the Earth

For me I am the sweetest heart

I provide you with lots of stuff

With food and the mangoes that you love

I give you water soil and Sun

I am special as I am just one

But the humans living on me

Are making me dirty

They are cutting all the trees

And killing all the species helliphellip

They filling me with smoke and death

They are killing themselves

with lack of breath

I am the Earth

I am your mother

Make me the best by pol-

luting me less and less

And preventing my green dress

You can save water

you plant a tree

Make a better home for you on me

Recycle things donrsquot throw them awayhellip

OUR FUTURE EARTH - Hiya Purswani VIII-B

We all know the present condition of our environment

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 Its 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 its 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 Itrsquos 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

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 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 Itrsquos 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 donʼt

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 quoterdquo 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

And wait the unfailing gray

Oh Sad are winter nights and slow

And sad is a song thatrsquos dumb

And sad it is to lie I know

Another dawn will come

Floods and Destruction

- Nirvi Soni IV-H

India faces occurrence of floods each year in some

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

Good Morning Everyone -Vyomi ThakkarVI - H

Donrsquot worry will have a great talk

Roaming around the ground

With beautiful birdrsquos sound

Wersquoll 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

-Shravya Atreya IX-D

Think before you speak

There are hearts you must please

Think before you speak

You canrsquot undo the harm done after you squeak

Think before you speak

You might have done greater harm than you might

think

Think before you speak

There are still places left for you

to seek

Think before you speak

There is a long way to go before

you sleep

Think before you speak

There are hearts you must

please

GLOBAL WARMING - Adhyant Singh VII-F

Global warming refers to the steady rise in the Earthrsquos mean temperature The effect of global

warming had come into sight when polar ice caps started melting this phenomena is called ICE ndash

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 400000000000 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 Earthrsquos surface thus increasing the temperature and also

destroying the ozone layer which prevents the ultraviolet rays of the sun from reaching the earthrsquos 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 (CFCrsquoS) 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

earthrsquos doomsday we all must work together

Itrsquos not too late there is still timehellipBefore the earth ends and we whinehellipSo keep on marching and planting

greens To end Global Warming and Make our planet greenhellip

What will happen without Instagram

I wondered why was it like so

Why is it they donrsquot know

Instagram wonrsquot give you a job

You will have to study and top

Your fellow followers wonrsquot help either

The Night - Matangi Rajesh VII-D

Its the night

The moon is white

When we switch off the light

What a beautiful sight

After this comes the sun bright

There is no more artificial light

This is the time to start your diet

To go for a run wearing tights

Then comes the evening when

you have snacks light

And fly a big colorful kite

or include your sibling in a pillow fight

Again comes the night

A moon which is white

We switch off the light

A beautiful sight

heavy duty rockets designs and fabricates some of the most sophisticated satellites In a singular achievement

Indiarsquos 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 ldquoharness space technology ldquofor na-

tional development while pursuing space science research and planter exploration

Some achievements of ISRO in 2017

South Asia Satellite (GSAT- 9) launch

Launch of ISROrsquos Fat Boyrsquo

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

Indiarsquos 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 didnt 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 Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane

with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing

speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt 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-

perloops 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 itThe first Hyperloop ndash 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

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

wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-

ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities

chapter test after every topic notebookfile 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

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 lifeI fell that exams

should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate

whether the students are clear with the concepts or

not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but

should be made understand their mistakes Let them

choose their own career options on their own Help

them know what they like to study and what they want

to do in their life So dont pressurize students for

what they dont like and encourage them in what they

do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the

country

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B

Life is all about interactions You meet people and

you interact You observe them consciously or sub-

consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us

more than we even realise Some people leave a last-

ing impression on us and entirely change the course of

life for better or for worse Some people influence us

help us go further and make all the difference

I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-

tial people They have taken care of me ever since I

came into this world They are the ones who wish the

best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-

cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel

no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-

come a part of my personality They are the ones who

helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me

to be better

When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are

the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-

takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique

learning experience It has made me realise how eve-

rything they do has a reason They are the ones who

have taught me the importance of the little things in

life They are the ones who have helped me recognize

and follow my passion The very thought of them not

being a part of my life is scary to the least as without

them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am

today and whatever I have achieved is all because of

them and I am very grateful of that

Eyesight

-Aditi Shenoy VIII-F

The tired little girl went to bed

Recollecting the days bygone

Seeing them in her dreams

As the day she was born

Trying to see the world

With her little eyes

But the sun with his brightness

Wouldnt let her catch the sights

The girl still eager

And curious to see the world around her

Again opened her eyes

But her vision was blurred

Still she did not lose hope

Which flowed through her blood

Encouraging and pushing her

To see the world further

Her heart beating fast

Her enthusiasm increasing

She slowly tried to see

With her eyes continuously blinking

Starting to lose hope

She was ready to give up

But curiosity got the upper hand

And pushed her forward

With her hope again rising

and strength in her eyesight

She is finally seeing the world

With wide open eyes

Conquering the space

Chandrayan-2 Indiarsquos Moon Mission The dream of

entire India to land on moon and become the 4th Na-

tion in the world to put its flag on the soil of moon

after USSR USA amp China

ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launched

Chandrayan-2 on 22nd July 2019 from Bengaluru

(Satish Dhawan Space Center) under the command of

ISRO chief K Shivan It consists of ORBITER

LANDER amp Lunar Rover PRAGYAN Like Chandra-

yan-1(22nd Oct2008) it was Indiarsquos indigenous moon

mission

It touched the Moon Surface on Saturday early morn-

ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-

ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-

ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of

moon it lost contact with the ground station Because

of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be

monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m

(approx) away from its assigned location near

SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still

orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange

signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it

The ORBITER which will remain active for another

12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-

owed portion of the moon for the first time in history

with the help of its high-resolution camera

The entire Nation irrespective of their field of

knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front

of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of

VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true

Indians who always dream progress and development

of their motherland But our heart never accepts this

as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement

for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-

pose of our mission

But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at

this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring

country quoting this as a big failure on part of India

blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos

money on this

Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will

be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to

this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other

nations on such missions

Further I should say that India is not new in the field

of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-

TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975

It was named after famous scientist of ancient India

ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested

for the first time the HELIOCENTRIC THEORY

(Sun at the center and all planets revolve around the

Sun) of the Solar System much earlier than ready for

New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 57

COPERNICUS as believed in the western world

Other countries might have moon on their flags but

we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is

great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are

whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-

rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is

only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the

unknown and its continual application for the benefit

of the mankind)rdquo

Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by

various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-

PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-

cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958

onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as

46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was

attempted out of which only 21 was successful

Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-

tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the

overall attempts conducted by other Nations

USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-

NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was

planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January

SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR

successfully on moon

NASA after many attempts was successful to send

first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th

July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk

on moon

Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-

clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-

SION MANGAL for our next moon mission

Taras intelligence

- Pritika Manohar kadam VIII ndashD

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 brothers

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 cant 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

Next day she gathered them and

went to her father and said you

wont help one girl (me) so can

you help us to study Her father was impressed by her

intelligenceHe 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

Together we laughed

Together we wept

Myriad fond impressions We kept

Jointly we danced like daisy

We didnrsquot bother about others

We chuckled like crazy

Concerning about the fussy was tempestuous

Together we were scintillating

We were engrossed in

Our cackles were uplifting

Something was sinister I remained keen

That gloominess was undesirable

Not you but our disunion was near

Our parting was lamentable

The distance between us was my fear

Our disunion was forthcoming

I wished I could quit it

Tears from our eyes were running

With those yet we had to split

Years had flown by

Not the echo

And to lose a loyal oppo

My dream House

-Harshith Nair IX-B

Voila I have shifted to my new house

Away from those lizards and that cunning mouse

That was once a basic and simple house

Now canrsquot get over the whoaas and wowws

Ancient doors and artefacts with a palatial tinge

Enter and you would feel yoursquove got wings

Vintage artefacts and interiors add to the glam

quotient

A gramophone an antique

telephone that take you to an

era thatrsquos ancient

To me and my brotherrsquos surprise therersquos an excit-

ing bunk bed

Now who sleeps on the top therersquos gonna be a

bloodshed

I hate boasting but this onersquos the icing on the

cake

Let me tell you friends this was a dream all

fake

Friendship

-Divya Johnson VIII ndash I

Friendship has no form

sometimes it makes us feel secure and warm

Sometimes leaves us cold and forlorn

and sometimes gives us the power to go on

We mistake it often for something materializing

but itrsquos free and artistic

It is hard to catch

no other virtue has its match

Indomitable Earth - Poorvi Sanu IX ndashG

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

Intestinal hurdle artwork framed

Mammals fattened by unnatural floating

Wild material machine Unseen

Where does your waste ream

What can I do

It takes more than

one It takes society

Globally to do what

needs to be done

Our footprint is mas-

sive weighty

Join Mother Earth

On our journey here and abroad

Full of disbelief and open scorn

Itrsquos worth the attempt to help her adorn

To help her heal her sores prevent more welts

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 lsquocause guess what ldquoI AM TRAVELLING IN

THE BUMPY TRAINrdquo 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 therersquos 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

and thatrsquos what makes our

India famous and legend-

ary We also get to eat

those India-famous snacks

from all over India like lsquoShehgaon kachorirsquo lsquo Kol-

hapuri misalrsquo 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

Control Yourself - Suvan Lokhande IX-A

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 TV or maybe food

ldquoControl Yourself Kidrdquo ldquoDone not more than

thisrdquo ldquoControlrdquo such types of sentences maybe

familiar to you which must be said by your mom dad

teachers and your elders But thatrsquos exactly true what

they say I know that itrsquos 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

And these changes can definitely make you proudAt

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 lifehelliphellipControl Yourself amp Be the

Change

Nature

- BHUMESH DADHWAL VIImdashC

The earth is full of surprises

Just look around yourself

It can be anywhere around you

Even somewhere in your bookshelf

The most surprising is nature

It can be a human or thing or even a creature

We humans made strong big buildings

And thatrsquos 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

Letrsquos join hands together

To save this marvelous creation

Anger Management

- Sfurti Kumbhar IX-A

AngerhellipThe 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 isnrsquot Itrsquos 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 Irsquom trying to get it

under control Sort of

Impossible right Managing anger sounds easy You

can distract yourself from the situation Permanently

fix an imaginary meter in your brain which indicates

anger level My meter is always near 50-60 When I

say that Irsquom 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 ldquodrink cool water to cool down your warm

headrdquo or breathe Listen to your fav music Or ask

yourself this simple question

ldquoIs getting angry at this person or screaming at them

going to improve my day in any way whatsoeverrdquo

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

ldquofuse blowing offrdquo times since grade 4 Anger may be

one of the smartest issues but we are smarter

Monsoon -Isha Bhanushali VIII

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 youWell 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 600 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

I after a while made up my

mind I will set out and go on

my ownI 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 its

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 Moms scolding

Yes because I had stepped inside a big puddle

Soldier - Marisha Nath VIII-C

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

Sati widows shravana shraddha managala gaur

akshaya tritiya child marriage karva chauthhellip

etcetera etcetera etceteraWhat do these words re-

mind you of Yep Thatrsquos right These are all systems

for women

These are sacrifices and systems that women perform

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 processMen work approximately 6 ndash 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 donrsquot

To all the men and boys reading this I have a few

questions for youDo 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 ndash 21

bones at once Did men know this And yet they con-

sider women weak They think that because wersquore

women we cannot thinkIf we cannot think who is

Marie Curie If we are weak who delivers kids

Women arenrsquot any different They are children of

gods They arenrsquot your personal secretaries they are

your partnersOnly 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

ishellipabsolutely nothing

Is this right

Submission to Peer Pressure -Akshat Mishra IX -G

ldquoHey Mohan When did you get this new iPhone-Xrdquo

we asked him in surprise as we knew the financial

condition of his family ldquoMy cousin gifted it to merdquo

quipped Mohan sheepishly All the boys resumed

playing but I knew there was something amissPeer

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

someonersquos 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

arenrsquot 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 arenrsquot 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

ldquoFreedom of Press in Democracyrdquo

- 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

about news from vari-

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

Even if the media subsequently correct a statement the

damage done may be irreparable Hence the media should

take care to carefully investigate any news item before

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

New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 22

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 priceAlso 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

democracySome newspapers espouse the cause of

only one community

ldquoThey do not judge problems on their merits They

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 worldrsquos 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

We all know the present condition of our environment

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 Its 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 beauti-

ful earth and so itrsquos 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 trsquos

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 rdquoEveryone

has a good and a bad side in his life What matters is

the part we choose to act upon rdquoThis is an excellent

thought said by Sirius Black in the movie Harry Pot-

ter Itrsquos 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 donrsquot 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

- Heet Shripal Kankariya VII-G

It is hard to recall the past

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

Dont lose ittry and endeavor

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

With all the night strength and gust

Preserving nature is must

Mother Nature has been so lucrative

Letrsquos do something to save her

Something new and creativersquo

Let us get pollution under control

Before mother Earth weeps and implores

Let clean air sweep

Both high and deep

Let the tiny piece of land

Be clean tidy and neat

Let uncontaminated water be

So that everything doesnrsquot

end like the sea

Let the tree stand

lsquoCause it is more alluring than the seven colour band

Without being loquacious

Mother nature is indeed precious

The Little girl

- Bhumika Sharma VI-F

I found in a garage

Near the carriage

A tiny little baby girl

She had cute blue eyes

Which were very small in size

And had beautiful hair with a cute little curl

I wonder why she was there

And she came fromhellipwhere

I then asked a person passing on the road

If he knew the merciless who

kept her near the horses and

toads

The person replied ldquoWho cares

O Madamhellip

hellipFor a girl who is denied by her

dad and mum

I felt very sad and cried

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 ndashD

It was rainy season

At home came a pigeon

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 didnrsquot fly away

Because I took care

Soon there were three small

eggs

Which were taken care of by the guest

The bird is easy to guess

Because it doesnrsquot make a mess

With its red tail

It looked a bit frail

Between the plants green full full

Was the nest of the little Bulbul

The Art of Dharma as per Mahabharata

- Abhishek Singh [Teacher SrSecondary]

Dharma means the Duty or RighteousnessDharma is

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)Its like the Ying and Yang

Duryodhanarsquos envy for the Pandvarsquos Indraprastha and

Yudhishthirarsquos 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

rivalrsquos possessions or eternal sickness to pull the rival

downThe envy and greed are both presents even in

the

modern day world the failure

of communism was caused by

envy among citizens while 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

Dharma is not justice Its difference between Retribu-

tive Justice and forgiveness While a nation with

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 wasnrsquot happy to see me happy

and I noticed a photograph in my phone which be-

mused me ndash not mentioning how frightened I had be-

come

The picture waswashow can I explain The back-

ground was of my house In the photoI was

sleeping Butbut 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 ndash the

noises from outside noises of something creaking and

the wind forcefully blowing through the thin slit of the

window eerily

I was panic-stricken I

quickly switched my

phone off and kept it on

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 lsquoIt is Tues-

day todayrsquo 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 couldnrsquot 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 doesnrsquot 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 wonrsquot 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

- Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D

She lived under a rock

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

From being the young shy girl they saw

But all this struggle slowly had her crumbling

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 lsquolifersquo as its spell

Being myself Irsquoll uplift

Life is too short

Donrsquot be someone else

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 educationWith 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

status of women bringing

them shoulder to shoulder

with men These particular

measures constitute a pro-

cess which is known as ldquoWomen Empowermentrdquo

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

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

embryos is set up they would

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

My vision reflects its flaming intention

Irsquom steady upon the decision

About which Irsquoll never disclaim

Accepting the outcome never blame

To impulse refer those achieves

Itrsquos your resolve donrsquot quit

There wasnrsquot 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

Though it may be tough

To perceive ones way to success

A dose of victory isnrsquot enough

Itrsquos always limitless

Television Pros and Cons

- Soumya Sheth

What do most of the people do these days to entertain

themselvesEveryone 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

However like every good and popular inventions tel-

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 elseItrsquos

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 inven-

tion of science in

the right and bene-

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 donrsquot

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

The night before the final examination appears to all

examinees as the night before the Battle of Waterloo

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-

tion they would be

going about their

daily rounds They

may be found in the parks cafes and restaurants talk-

ing about tips ndashtalking 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 ndashconscious 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

-Prajna VIII-D

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 mustnrsquot be exaggerated

Till you salve someonersquos hurt

Elegant you be for the universe to learn your versatility

How can you be silent if you donrsquot know your efficiency

One of the values to become successful is simplicity

Through elegance letrsquos spread positivist

Chocoland - Talreja Aastha IV-J

Once I had been to the Chocolate Land

Chocolate all around to the reach of my hand

Toffees candies lollies and bars

In my mouth a crunchy munchy war

White dark nutty and sweet

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 chocolate car

Soon after it was 6 oclock

And could hear the doorrsquos 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 ldquoHello My friendrdquo but the elephant replied rude-

ly saying ldquoYou tiny

ant Get off my way

otherwise yoursquoll get

crushed to deathrdquo

Hearing this ant

challenged the elephant sayingrdquo My big friend I can

make you cryrdquo The ant quickly climbed onto the trunk

of the elephant and ran towards its earit 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

ldquoPlease come out of my ear I canrsquot bear the painrdquo As

soon as the ant came out the elephant apologized for

its mistake and didnrsquot tease any animals from that day

Grandparents

-Aditya Patil VIII-E

The best place in vacation

A heaven like destination

Their love for us is endless

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

coolest dude

They yell at our parents

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 ldquoWomen Empowermentrdquo 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

Water is the force behind all the industry agriculture

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

without water No

water no life

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 -Aditys Patil VIII-E

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 askedwhere are

the schools There are no schools here Mother said

dont 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

The Day Irsquoll Never Forget - Saranya Sarangi VII -

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 hadnrsquot the thee

Perished laid the martyrs

Whom our motherland gave birth

I still remember that scaring sight

The scattered limbs I couldnrsquot see

My heart got filled with grief and fright

No Indian could glee

Terribly writhing the soldiers were seen

Some families languished and some

were crying

So loyal to their country they had been

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

I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom

O human Then why do you steal my FREEDOM

Binding me alone in the cage makes me sad

Donrsquot you know caging a bird is bad

Looking at the sky

I wish I could fly

I never disturb you

I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom

O human Then why do you steal my

FREEDOM

Summers in India - Saranya Sarangi VIII

A hot season beginning from April till May is what we

call summer And thatrsquos the basic rule in India But

thatrsquos 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 donrsquot 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-

dents can join different aca-

demic and co-curricular

courses to improve them-

selves Many children even spend time with their fami-

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 lsquoSummers in Indiarsquo

Exams are good or bad

- Nupoor Teli VIIIndashI

In my humble opinionexams are apressure on the stu-

dents They are forced to study and score good

markswhich 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 studybut 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

-daysthe main reason for studying is gaining marks If

there are no marksno career andno success This is the

mindset of 70 people of the worldespecially 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-

verthere are projectssubject-enrichment activi-

tieschapter test sfter every topicnotebookfile submis

sion etcAnd as acherry on top

of the cakewe have the semes-

ter exams of eighty marks as

well What all will the students

do And even if any extra-

curricular activities are being learntthen more extra

studies Just studystudy 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 notThey shouldnt be pressurized for

their marksbut 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 dont pressurize

students for what they dont likeand encourage them in

what they do After allthey 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

Never accept less than best

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 magicalhellip

Life is so magicalhellip

Humility -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D

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 personrsquos 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 personrsquos 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

canrsquot 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 yoursquore not strong enough to

stand up for yourself They think you surrender in-

stead of protesting They will despise and scorn you

but they donrsquot know that you take pleasure in what

you do because they havenrsquot experienced that kind of

joy

So if you do have humility donrsquot 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

Mom -Tanvi Sawant VII-C

Oh mom I came to this beautiful world just because

dark

OUR FUTURE EARTH - Hiya Purswani VIII-B

We all know the present condition of our environment

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 Its 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 its 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 Itrsquos 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

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 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 Itrsquos 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 donʼt

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 quoterdquo 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

Floods and Destruction

- Nirvi Soni IV-H

India faces occurrence of floods each year in some

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

There is a long way to go before

Think before you speak

There are hearts you must

please

GLOBAL WARMING - Adhyant Singh VII-F

Global warming refers to the steady rise in the Earthrsquos mean temperature The effect of global

warming had come into sight when polar ice caps started melting this phenomena is called ICE ndash

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 400000000000 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 Earthrsquos surface thus increasing the temperature and also

destroying the ozone layer which prevents the ultraviolet rays of the sun from reaching the earthrsquos 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 (CFCrsquoS) 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

earthrsquos doomsday we all must work together

Itrsquos not too late there is still timehellipBefore the earth ends and we whinehellipSo keep on marching and planting

greens To end Global Warming and Make our planet greenhellip

The Night - Matangi Rajesh VII-D

The moon is white

When we switch off the light

What a beautiful sight

After this comes the sun bright

There is no more artificial light

This is the time to start your diet

To go for a run wearing tights

Then comes the evening when

you have snacks light

And fly a big colorful kite

or include your sibling in a pillow fight

Again comes the night

A moon which is white

We switch off the light

A beautiful sight

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 didnt 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 Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane

with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing

speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt 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-

perloops 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 itThe first Hyperloop ndash 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

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

wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-

ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities

chapter test after every topic notebookfile 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

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 lifeI fell that exams

should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate

whether the students are clear with the concepts or

not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but

should be made understand their mistakes Let them

choose their own career options on their own Help

them know what they like to study and what they want

to do in their life So dont pressurize students for

what they dont like and encourage them in what they

do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the

country

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B

Life is all about interactions You meet people and

you interact You observe them consciously or sub-

consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us

more than we even realise Some people leave a last-

ing impression on us and entirely change the course of

life for better or for worse Some people influence us

help us go further and make all the difference

I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-

tial people They have taken care of me ever since I

came into this world They are the ones who wish the

best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-

cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel

no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-

come a part of my personality They are the ones who

helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me

to be better

When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are

the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-

takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique

learning experience It has made me realise how eve-

rything they do has a reason They are the ones who

have taught me the importance of the little things in

life They are the ones who have helped me recognize

and follow my passion The very thought of them not

being a part of my life is scary to the least as without

them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am

today and whatever I have achieved is all because of

them and I am very grateful of that

Eyesight

-Aditi Shenoy VIII-F

The tired little girl went to bed

Recollecting the days bygone

Seeing them in her dreams

As the day she was born

Trying to see the world

With her little eyes

But the sun with his brightness

Wouldnt let her catch the sights

The girl still eager

And curious to see the world around her

Again opened her eyes

But her vision was blurred

Still she did not lose hope

Which flowed through her blood

Encouraging and pushing her

To see the world further

Her heart beating fast

Her enthusiasm increasing

She slowly tried to see

With her eyes continuously blinking

Starting to lose hope

She was ready to give up

But curiosity got the upper hand

And pushed her forward

With her hope again rising

and strength in her eyesight

She is finally seeing the world

With wide open eyes

Conquering the space

-Marisha Nath VIII-C

ldquoThere is no failure in Science it is only continual

effort to conquer the unknown On the way even if we

face failure it rather adds more value to our effort for

our next journey to know the unknownrdquo

Chandrayan-2 Indiarsquos Moon Mission The dream of

entire India to land on moon and become the 4th Na-

tion in the world to put its flag on the soil of moon

after USSR USA amp China

ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launched

Chandrayan-2 on 22nd July 2019 from Bengaluru

(Satish Dhawan Space Center) under the command of

ISRO chief K Shivan It consists of ORBITER

LANDER amp Lunar Rover PRAGYAN Like Chandra-

yan-1(22nd Oct2008) it was Indiarsquos indigenous moon

mission

It touched the Moon Surface on Saturday early morn-

ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-

ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-

ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of

moon it lost contact with the ground station Because

of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be

monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m

(approx) away from its assigned location near

SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still

orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange

signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it

The ORBITER which will remain active for another

12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-

owed portion of the moon for the first time in history

with the help of its high-resolution camera

The entire Nation irrespective of their field of

knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front

of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of

VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true

Indians who always dream progress and development

of their motherland But our heart never accepts this

as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement

for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-

pose of our mission

But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at

this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring

country quoting this as a big failure on part of India

blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos

money on this

Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will

be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to

this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other

nations on such missions

Further I should say that India is not new in the field

of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-

TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975

It was named after famous scientist of ancient India

ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested

for the first time the HELIOCENTRIC THEORY

(Sun at the center and all planets revolve around the

Sun) of the Solar System much earlier than ready for

New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 57

COPERNICUS as believed in the western world

Other countries might have moon on their flags but

we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is

great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are

whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-

rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is

only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the

unknown and its continual application for the benefit

of the mankind)rdquo

Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by

various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-

PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-

cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958

onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as

46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was

attempted out of which only 21 was successful

Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-

tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the

overall attempts conducted by other Nations

USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-

NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was

planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January

SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR

successfully on moon

NASA after many attempts was successful to send

first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th

July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk

on moon

Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-

clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-

SION MANGAL for our next moon mission

My dream House

-Harshith Nair IX-B

Voila I have shifted to my new house

Away from those lizards and that cunning mouse

That was once a basic and simple house

Now canrsquot get over the whoaas and wowws

Ancient doors and artefacts with a palatial tinge

Enter and you would feel yoursquove got wings

Vintage artefacts and interiors add to the glam

quotient

A gramophone an antique

telephone that take you to an

era thatrsquos ancient

To me and my brotherrsquos surprise therersquos an excit-

ing bunk bed

Now who sleeps on the top therersquos gonna be a

bloodshed

I hate boasting but this onersquos the icing on the

cake

Let me tell you friends this was a dream all

fake

Friendship

-Divya Johnson VIII ndash I

Friendship has no form

sometimes it makes us feel secure and warm

Sometimes leaves us cold and forlorn

and sometimes gives us the power to go on

We mistake it often for something materializing

but itrsquos free and artistic

It is hard to catch

no other virtue has its match

Indomitable Earth - Poorvi Sanu IX ndashG

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

Intestinal hurdle artwork framed

Mammals fattened by unnatural floating

Wild material machine Unseen

Where does your waste ream

What can I do

It takes more than

one It takes society

Globally to do what

needs to be done

Our footprint is mas-

sive weighty

Join Mother Earth

On our journey here and abroad

Full of disbelief and open scorn

Itrsquos 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 lsquocause guess what ldquoI AM TRAVELLING IN

THE BUMPY TRAINrdquo 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 therersquos 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

and thatrsquos what makes our

India famous and legend-

ary We also get to eat

those India-famous snacks

from all over India like lsquoShehgaon kachorirsquo lsquo Kol-

hapuri misalrsquo 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

Control Yourself - Suvan Lokhande IX-A

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 TV or maybe food

ldquoControl Yourself Kidrdquo ldquoDone not more than

thisrdquo ldquoControlrdquo such types of sentences maybe

familiar to you which must be said by your mom dad

teachers and your elders But thatrsquos exactly true what

they say I know that itrsquos 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

And these changes can definitely make you proudAt

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 lifehelliphellipControl Yourself amp Be the

Change

Nature

- BHUMESH DADHWAL VIImdashC

The earth is full of surprises

Just look around yourself

It can be anywhere around you

Even somewhere in your bookshelf

The most surprising is nature

Itrsquos full of different stuff

It can be a human or thing or even a creature

We humans made strong big buildings

And thatrsquos 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

Letrsquos join hands together

To save this marvelous creation

For our next generation

Anger Management

- Sfurti Kumbhar IX-A

AngerhellipThe 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 isnrsquot Itrsquos 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 Irsquom trying to get it

under control Sort of

Impossible right Managing anger sounds easy You

can distract yourself from the situation Permanently

fix an imaginary meter in your brain which indicates

anger level My meter is always near 50-60 When I

say that Irsquom 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 ldquodrink cool water to cool down your warm

headrdquo or breathe Listen to your fav music Or ask

yourself this simple question

ldquoIs getting angry at this person or screaming at them

going to improve my day in any way whatsoeverrdquo

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

ldquofuse blowing offrdquo 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

The voice is so pretty

That it charms in the whole city

There is dance in your smile

With moves in a pile

You make people laugh

With dance as your better half

There is a magical art

Right inside your heart

Painting pictures which create

memories

That are soothing just like a

breeze

You are a Masterpiece

With an end number of skills

Creativity is your strength

Keep safe till the end

Friend

- Nupoor Teli VIII

Friend is like

the leaves of a tree

With your friend

Friend is the moon

of the shining night

It is the light

that makes your life bright

Friend is the one

who brings out your good

Friend is like

a blooming flower

A true friendship is

Monsoon -Isha Bhanushali VIII

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 youWell 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 600 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

I after a while made up my

mind I will set out and go on

my ownI 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 its

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 Moms scolding

Yes because I had stepped inside a big puddle

Soldier - Marisha Nath VIII-C

Dear soldier you sacrifice yourself for your nation

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

Sati widows shravana shraddha managala gaur

akshaya tritiya child marriage karva chauthhellip

etcetera etcetera etceteraWhat do these words re-

mind you of Yep Thatrsquos right These are all systems

for women

These are sacrifices and systems that women perform

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 processMen work approximately 6 ndash 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 donrsquot

To all the men and boys reading this I have a few

questions for youDo 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 ndash 21

bones at once Did men know this And yet they con-

sider women weak They think that because wersquore

women we cannot thinkIf we cannot think who is

Marie Curie If we are weak who delivers kids

Women arenrsquot any different They are children of

gods They arenrsquot your personal secretaries they are

your partnersOnly 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

ishellipabsolutely nothing

Is this right

Submission to Peer Pressure -Akshat Mishra IX -G

ldquoHey Mohan When did you get this new iPhone-Xrdquo

we asked him in surprise as we knew the financial

condition of his family ldquoMy cousin gifted it to merdquo

quipped Mohan sheepishly All the boys resumed

playing but I knew there was something amissPeer

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

someonersquos 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

arenrsquot 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 arenrsquot 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

ldquoFreedom of Press in Democracyrdquo

- 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

about news from vari-

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

Even if the media subsequently correct a statement the

damage done may be irreparable Hence the media should

take care to carefully investigate any news item before

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

New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 22

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 priceAlso 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

democracySome newspapers espouse the cause of

only one community

ldquoThey do not judge problems on their merits They

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 worldrsquos 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

We all know the present condition of our environment

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 Its 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 beauti-

ful earth and so itrsquos 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 trsquos

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 rdquoEveryone

has a good and a bad side in his life What matters is

the part we choose to act upon rdquoThis is an excellent

thought said by Sirius Black in the movie Harry Pot-

ter Itrsquos 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 donrsquot 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

- Heet Shripal Kankariya VII-G

It is hard to recall the past

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

Dont lose ittry and endeavor

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

With all the night strength and gust

Preserving nature is must

Mother Nature has been so lucrative

Letrsquos do something to save her

Something new and creativersquo

Let us get pollution under control

Before mother Earth weeps and implores

Let clean air sweep

Both high and deep

Let the tiny piece of land

Be clean tidy and neat

Let uncontaminated water be

So that everything doesnrsquot

end like the sea

Let the tree stand

lsquoCause it is more alluring than the seven colour band

Without being loquacious

Mother nature is indeed precious

The Little girl

- Bhumika Sharma VI-F

I found in a garage

Near the carriage

A tiny little baby girl

She had cute blue eyes

Which were very small in size

And had beautiful hair with a cute little curl

I wonder why she was there

And she came fromhellipwhere

I then asked a person passing on the road

If he knew the merciless who

kept her near the horses and

toads

The person replied ldquoWho cares

O Madamhellip

hellipFor a girl who is denied by her

dad and mum

I felt very sad and cried

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 ndashD

It was rainy season

At home came a pigeon

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 didnrsquot fly away

Because I took care

Soon there were three small

eggs

Which were taken care of by the guest

The bird is easy to guess

Because it doesnrsquot make a mess

With its red tail

It looked a bit frail

Between the plants green full full

Was the nest of the little Bulbul

The Art of Dharma as per Mahabharata

- Abhishek Singh [Teacher SrSecondary]

Dharma means the Duty or RighteousnessDharma is

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)Its like the Ying and Yang

Duryodhanarsquos envy for the Pandvarsquos Indraprastha and

Yudhishthirarsquos 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

rivalrsquos possessions or eternal sickness to pull the rival

downThe envy and greed are both presents even in

the

modern day world the failure

of communism was caused by

envy among citizens while 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

Dharma is not justice Its difference between Retribu-

tive Justice and forgiveness While a nation with

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 wasnrsquot happy to see me happy

and I noticed a photograph in my phone which be-

mused me ndash not mentioning how frightened I had be-

come

The picture waswashow can I explain The back-

ground was of my house In the photoI was

sleeping Butbut 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 ndash the

noises from outside noises of something creaking and

the wind forcefully blowing through the thin slit of the

window eerily

I was panic-stricken I

quickly switched my

phone off and kept it on

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 lsquoIt is Tues-

day todayrsquo 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 couldnrsquot 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 doesnrsquot 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 wonrsquot 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

- Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D

She lived under a rock

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

From being the young shy girl they saw

But all this struggle slowly had her crumbling

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 lsquolifersquo as its spell

Being myself Irsquoll uplift

Life is too short

Donrsquot be someone else

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 educationWith 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

status of women bringing

them shoulder to shoulder

with men These particular

measures constitute a pro-

cess which is known as ldquoWomen Empowermentrdquo

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 lsquoEscape and start overrsquo

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

embryos is set up they would

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

Television Pros and Cons

- Soumya Sheth

What do most of the people do these days to entertain

themselvesEveryone 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

However like every good and popular inventions tel-

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 elseItrsquos

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 inven-

tion of science in

the right and bene-

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 donrsquot

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

The night before the final examination appears to all

examinees as the night before the Battle of Waterloo

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-

tion they would be

going about their

daily rounds They

may be found in the parks cafes and restaurants talk-

ing about tips ndashtalking 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 ndashconscious 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

-Prajna VIII-D

Elegant you be for the universe to learn your versatility

Brighter you shine the orb will know your sustenance

Apparently it seems your flawless abundance

The ideal triumph mustnrsquot be exaggerated

How can you be silent if you donrsquot know your efficiency

And could hear the doorrsquos 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 ldquoHello My friendrdquo but the elephant replied rude-

ly saying ldquoYou tiny

ant Get off my way

otherwise yoursquoll get

crushed to deathrdquo

Hearing this ant

challenged the elephant sayingrdquo My big friend I can

make you cryrdquo The ant quickly climbed onto the trunk

of the elephant and ran towards its earit 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

ldquoPlease come out of my ear I canrsquot bear the painrdquo As

soon as the ant came out the elephant apologized for

its mistake and didnrsquot tease any animals from that day

Grandparents

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

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

Water is the force behind all the industry agriculture

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

without water No

water no life

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 -Aditys Patil VIII-E

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 askedwhere are

the schools There are no schools here Mother said

dont 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

The Day Irsquoll Never Forget - Saranya Sarangi VII -

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 hadnrsquot the thee

Perished laid the martyrs

Whom our motherland gave birth

I still remember that scaring sight

The scattered limbs I couldnrsquot see

My heart got filled with grief and fright

No Indian could glee

Terribly writhing the soldiers were seen

Some families languished and some

were crying

So loyal to their country they had been

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

I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom

O human Then why do you steal my FREEDOM

Binding me alone in the cage makes me sad

Donrsquot you know caging a bird is bad

Looking at the sky

I wish I could fly

I never disturb you

I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom

O human Then why do you steal my

Summers in India - Saranya Sarangi VIII

A hot season beginning from April till May is what we

call summer And thatrsquos the basic rule in India But

thatrsquos 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 donrsquot 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-

dents can join different aca-

demic and co-curricular

courses to improve them-

selves Many children even spend time with their fami-

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 lsquoSummers in Indiarsquo

Exams are good or bad

dents They are forced to study and score good

markswhich 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 studybut 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

-daysthe main reason for studying is gaining marks If

there are no marksno career andno success This is the

mindset of 70 people of the worldespecially 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-

verthere are projectssubject-enrichment activi-

tieschapter test sfter every topicnotebookfile submis

sion etcAnd as acherry on top

of the cakewe have the semes-

ter exams of eighty marks as

well What all will the students

do And even if any extra-

curricular activities are being learntthen more extra

studies Just studystudy 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 notThey shouldnt be pressurized for

their marksbut 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 dont pressurize

students for what they dont likeand encourage them in

what they do After allthey 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

Never accept less than best

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 magicalhellip

Life is so magicalhellip

Humility -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D

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 personrsquos 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 personrsquos 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

canrsquot 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 yoursquore not strong enough to

stand up for yourself They think you surrender in-

stead of protesting They will despise and scorn you

but they donrsquot know that you take pleasure in what

you do because they havenrsquot experienced that kind of

joy

So if you do have humility donrsquot 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

Mom -Tanvi Sawant VII-C

Oh mom I came to this beautiful world just because

of youhellip

Mom what would I do without you

Oh mom there are thorns on the way

But you manage to get me awayhellip

Oh mom I canrsquot say how much yoursquore to me

Mom just promise me that yoursquoll and

always be with mehellip

Oh mom this world is incomplete

without you

Just like the sky without itrsquos bright color bluehellip

Oh mom yoursquore the candle that showed the way in the

dark

My dear mom you made my life spark

Hello I am the Earth

For me I am the sweetest heart

I provide you with lots of stuff

With food and the mangoes that you love

I give you water soil and Sun

I am special as I am just one

But the humans living on me

Are making me dirty

They are cutting all the trees

And killing all the species helliphellip

They filling me with smoke and death

They are killing themselves

with lack of breath

I am the Earth

I am your mother

Make me the best by pol-

luting me less and less

And preventing my green dress

You can save water

you plant a tree

Make a better home for you on me

Recycle things donrsquot throw them awayhellip

OUR FUTURE EARTH - Hiya Purswani VIII-B

We all know the present condition of our environment

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 Its 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 its 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 Itrsquos 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

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 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 Itrsquos 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 donʼt

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 quoterdquo 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

And wait the unfailing gray

Oh Sad are winter nights and slow

And sad is a song thatrsquos dumb

And sad it is to lie I know

Another dawn will come

Floods and Destruction

- Nirvi Soni IV-H

India faces occurrence of floods each year in some

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

Good Morning Everyone -Vyomi ThakkarVI - H

Come with me wersquoll have some fun

Wersquoll go on a walk

Donrsquot worry will have a great talk

Roaming around the ground

With beautiful birdrsquos sound

We donrsquot know if anything will be found

Wersquoll 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

-Shravya Atreya IX-D

Think before you speak

There are hearts you must please

Think before you speak

You canrsquot undo the harm done after you squeak

Think before you speak

You might have done greater harm than you might

think

Think before you speak

There are still places left for you

to seek

Think before you speak

There is a long way to go before

you sleep

Think before you speak

There are hearts you must

please

Sunrise -Anuradha Singh VII-H

Over the glimmering purple sea

enamelled sea

Everything is fine

With fading stars and rising light

GLOBAL WARMING - Adhyant Singh VII-F

Global warming refers to the steady rise in the Earthrsquos mean temperature The effect of global

warming had come into sight when polar ice caps started melting this phenomena is called ICE ndash

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 400000000000 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 Earthrsquos surface thus increasing the temperature and also

destroying the ozone layer which prevents the ultraviolet rays of the sun from reaching the earthrsquos 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 (CFCrsquoS) 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

earthrsquos doomsday we all must work together

Itrsquos not too late there is still timehellipBefore the earth ends and we whinehellipSo keep on marching and planting

greens To end Global Warming and Make our planet greenhellip

What will happen without Instagram

- Kaavya Chaudhary VII-F

Instagram Instagram Instagram

I was hearing it from everyone

I asked who was the inventor

Nobody knew the answer to my question

Mobiles Mobiles Mobiles

I was able to see them everywhere

I asked who was the inventor

Again nobody was aware

I wondered why was it like so

Why is it they donrsquot know

There was one time we were

engrossed in books

Now we care more about our looks

Instagram wonrsquot give you a job

You will have to study and top

Your fellow followers wonrsquot help either

If you donrsquot have a job no one will bother

I am a tree

- Yashawini Pillai

I am a tree

With a dark green crown

And a thick strong trunk

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

Its the night

The moon is white

When we switch off the light

What a beautiful sight

After this comes the sun bright

There is no more artificial light

This is the time to start your diet

To go for a run wearing tights

Then comes the evening when

you have snacks light

And fly a big colorful kite

or include your sibling in a pillow fight

Again comes the night

A moon which is white

We switch off the light

A beautiful sight

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

Indiarsquos 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 ldquoharness space technology ldquofor 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 ISROrsquos Fat Boyrsquo

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

Indiarsquos 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 didnt 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 Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane

with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing

speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt 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-

perloops 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 itThe first Hyperloop ndash 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

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

wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-

ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities

chapter test after every topic notebookfile 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

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 lifeI fell that exams

should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate

whether the students are clear with the concepts or

not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but

should be made understand their mistakes Let them

choose their own career options on their own Help

them know what they like to study and what they want

to do in their life So dont pressurize students for

what they dont like and encourage them in what they

do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the

country

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B

Life is all about interactions You meet people and

you interact You observe them consciously or sub-

consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us

more than we even realise Some people leave a last-

ing impression on us and entirely change the course of

life for better or for worse Some people influence us

help us go further and make all the difference

I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-

tial people They have taken care of me ever since I

came into this world They are the ones who wish the

best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-

cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel

no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-

come a part of my personality They are the ones who

helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me

to be better

When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are

the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-

takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique

learning experience It has made me realise how eve-

rything they do has a reason They are the ones who

have taught me the importance of the little things in

life They are the ones who have helped me recognize

and follow my passion The very thought of them not

being a part of my life is scary to the least as without

them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am

today and whatever I have achieved is all because of

them and I am very grateful of that

Eyesight

-Aditi Shenoy VIII-F

The tired little girl went to bed

Recollecting the days bygone

Seeing them in her dreams

As the day she was born

Trying to see the world

With her little eyes

But the sun with his brightness

Wouldnt let her catch the sights

The girl still eager

And curious to see the world around her

Again opened her eyes

But her vision was blurred

Still she did not lose hope

Which flowed through her blood

Encouraging and pushing her

To see the world further

Her heart beating fast

Her enthusiasm increasing

She slowly tried to see

With her eyes continuously blinking

Starting to lose hope

She was ready to give up

But curiosity got the upper hand

And pushed her forward

With her hope again rising

and strength in her eyesight

She is finally seeing the world

With wide open eyes

Conquering the space

-Marisha Nath VIII-C

ldquoThere is no failure in Science it is only continual

effort to conquer the unknown On the way even if we

face failure it rather adds more value to our effort for

our next journey to know the unknownrdquo

Chandrayan-2 Indiarsquos Moon Mission The dream of

entire India to land on moon and become the 4th Na-

tion in the world to put its flag on the soil of moon

after USSR USA amp China

ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launched

Chandrayan-2 on 22nd July 2019 from Bengaluru

(Satish Dhawan Space Center) under the command of

ISRO chief K Shivan It consists of ORBITER

LANDER amp Lunar Rover PRAGYAN Like Chandra-

yan-1(22nd Oct2008) it was Indiarsquos indigenous moon

mission

It touched the Moon Surface on Saturday early morn-

ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-

ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-

ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of

moon it lost contact with the ground station Because

of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be

monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m

(approx) away from its assigned location near

SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still

orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange

signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it

The ORBITER which will remain active for another

12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-

owed portion of the moon for the first time in history

with the help of its high-resolution camera

The entire Nation irrespective of their field of

knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front

of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of

VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true

Indians who always dream progress and development

of their motherland But our heart never accepts this

as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement

for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-

pose of our mission

But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at

this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring

country quoting this as a big failure on part of India

blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos

money on this

Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will

be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to

this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other

nations on such missions

Further I should say that India is not new in the field

of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-

TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975

It was named after famous scientist of ancient India

ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested

for the first time the HELIOCENTRIC THEORY

(Sun at the center and all planets revolve around the

Sun) of the Solar System much earlier than ready for

New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 57

COPERNICUS as believed in the western world

Other countries might have moon on their flags but

we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is

great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are

whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-

rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is

only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the

unknown and its continual application for the benefit

of the mankind)rdquo

Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by

various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-

PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-

cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958

onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as

46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was

attempted out of which only 21 was successful

Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-

tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the

overall attempts conducted by other Nations

USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-

NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was

planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January

SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR

successfully on moon

NASA after many attempts was successful to send

first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th

July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk

on moon

Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-

clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-

SION MANGAL for our next moon mission

My dream House

-Harshith Nair IX-B

Voila I have shifted to my new house

Away from those lizards and that cunning mouse

That was once a basic and simple house

Now canrsquot get over the whoaas and wowws

Ancient doors and artefacts with a palatial tinge

Enter and you would feel yoursquove got wings

Vintage artefacts and interiors add to the glam

quotient

A gramophone an antique

telephone that take you to an

era thatrsquos ancient

To me and my brotherrsquos surprise therersquos an excit-

ing bunk bed

Now who sleeps on the top therersquos gonna be a

bloodshed

I hate boasting but this onersquos the icing on the

cake

Let me tell you friends this was a dream all

fake

Friendship

-Divya Johnson VIII ndash I

Friendship has no form

sometimes it makes us feel secure and warm

Sometimes leaves us cold and forlorn

and sometimes gives us the power to go on

We mistake it often for something materializing

but itrsquos free and artistic

It is hard to catch

no other virtue has its match

Indomitable Earth - Poorvi Sanu IX ndashG

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

Intestinal hurdle artwork framed

Mammals fattened by unnatural floating

Wild material machine Unseen

Where does your waste ream

What can I do

It takes more than

one It takes society

Globally to do what

needs to be done

Our footprint is mas-

sive weighty

Join Mother Earth

On our journey here and abroad

Full of disbelief and open scorn

Itrsquos worth the attempt to help her adorn

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 lsquocause guess what ldquoI AM TRAVELLING IN

THE BUMPY TRAINrdquo 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 therersquos 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

and thatrsquos what makes our

India famous and legend-

ary We also get to eat

those India-famous snacks

from all over India like lsquoShehgaon kachorirsquo lsquo Kol-

hapuri misalrsquo 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

Control Yourself - Suvan Lokhande IX-A

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 TV or maybe food

ldquoControl Yourself Kidrdquo ldquoDone not more than

thisrdquo ldquoControlrdquo such types of sentences maybe

familiar to you which must be said by your mom dad

teachers and your elders But thatrsquos exactly true what

they say I know that itrsquos 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

And these changes can definitely make you proudAt

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 lifehelliphellipControl Yourself amp Be the

Change

Nature

- BHUMESH DADHWAL VIImdashC

The earth is full of surprises

Just look around yourself

It can be anywhere around you

Even somewhere in your bookshelf

The most surprising is nature

It can be a human or thing or even a creature

We humans made strong big buildings

And thatrsquos 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

Letrsquos join hands together

To save this marvelous creation

Anger Management

- Sfurti Kumbhar IX-A

AngerhellipThe 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 isnrsquot Itrsquos 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 Irsquom trying to get it

under control Sort of

Impossible right Managing anger sounds easy You

can distract yourself from the situation Permanently

fix an imaginary meter in your brain which indicates

anger level My meter is always near 50-60 When I

say that Irsquom 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 ldquodrink cool water to cool down your warm

headrdquo or breathe Listen to your fav music Or ask

yourself this simple question

ldquoIs getting angry at this person or screaming at them

going to improve my day in any way whatsoeverrdquo

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

ldquofuse blowing offrdquo times since grade 4 Anger may be

one of the smartest issues but we are smarter

Monsoon -Isha Bhanushali VIII

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 youWell 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 600 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

I after a while made up my

mind I will set out and go on

my ownI 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 its

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 Moms scolding

Yes because I had stepped inside a big puddle

Soldier - Marisha Nath VIII-C

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

Sati widows shravana shraddha managala gaur

akshaya tritiya child marriage karva chauthhellip

etcetera etcetera etceteraWhat do these words re-

mind you of Yep Thatrsquos right These are all systems

for women

These are sacrifices and systems that women perform

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 processMen work approximately 6 ndash 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 donrsquot

To all the men and boys reading this I have a few

questions for youDo 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 ndash 21

bones at once Did men know this And yet they con-

sider women weak They think that because wersquore

women we cannot thinkIf we cannot think who is

Marie Curie If we are weak who delivers kids

Women arenrsquot any different They are children of

gods They arenrsquot your personal secretaries they are

your partnersOnly 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

ishellipabsolutely nothing

Is this right

Submission to Peer Pressure -Akshat Mishra IX -G

ldquoHey Mohan When did you get this new iPhone-Xrdquo

we asked him in surprise as we knew the financial

condition of his family ldquoMy cousin gifted it to merdquo

quipped Mohan sheepishly All the boys resumed

playing but I knew there was something amissPeer

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

someonersquos 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

arenrsquot 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 arenrsquot 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

ldquoFreedom of Press in Democracyrdquo

- 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

about news from vari-

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

Even if the media subsequently correct a statement the

damage done may be irreparable Hence the media should

take care to carefully investigate any news item before

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

New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 22

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 priceAlso 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

democracySome newspapers espouse the cause of

only one community

ldquoThey do not judge problems on their merits They

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 worldrsquos 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

We all know the present condition of our environment

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 Its 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 beauti-

ful earth and so itrsquos 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 trsquos

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 rdquoEveryone

has a good and a bad side in his life What matters is

the part we choose to act upon rdquoThis is an excellent

thought said by Sirius Black in the movie Harry Pot-

ter Itrsquos 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 donrsquot 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

- Heet Shripal Kankariya VII-G

It is hard to recall the past

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

Dont lose ittry and endeavor

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

With all the night strength and gust

Preserving nature is must

Mother Nature has been so lucrative

Letrsquos do something to save her

Something new and creativersquo

Let us get pollution under control

Before mother Earth weeps and implores

Let clean air sweep

Both high and deep

Let the tiny piece of land

Be clean tidy and neat

Let uncontaminated water be

So that everything doesnrsquot

end like the sea

Let the tree stand

lsquoCause it is more alluring than the seven colour band

Without being loquacious

Mother nature is indeed precious

The Little girl

- Bhumika Sharma VI-F

I found in a garage

Near the carriage

A tiny little baby girl

She had cute blue eyes

Which were very small in size

And had beautiful hair with a cute little curl

I wonder why she was there

And she came fromhellipwhere

I then asked a person passing on the road

If he knew the merciless who

kept her near the horses and

toads

The person replied ldquoWho cares

O Madamhellip

hellipFor a girl who is denied by her

dad and mum

I felt very sad and cried

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 ndashD

It was rainy season

At home came a pigeon

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 didnrsquot fly away

Because I took care

Soon there were three small

eggs

Which were taken care of by the guest

The bird is easy to guess

Because it doesnrsquot make a mess

With its red tail

It looked a bit frail

Between the plants green full full

Was the nest of the little Bulbul

The Art of Dharma as per Mahabharata

- Abhishek Singh [Teacher SrSecondary]

Dharma means the Duty or RighteousnessDharma is

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)Its like the Ying and Yang

Duryodhanarsquos envy for the Pandvarsquos Indraprastha and

Yudhishthirarsquos 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

rivalrsquos possessions or eternal sickness to pull the rival

downThe envy and greed are both presents even in

the

modern day world the failure

of communism was caused by

envy among citizens while 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

Dharma is not justice Its difference between Retribu-

tive Justice and forgiveness While a nation with

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 wasnrsquot happy to see me happy

and I noticed a photograph in my phone which be-

mused me ndash not mentioning how frightened I had be-

come

The picture waswashow can I explain The back-

ground was of my house In the photoI was

sleeping Butbut 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 ndash the

noises from outside noises of something creaking and

the wind forcefully blowing through the thin slit of the

window eerily

I was panic-stricken I

quickly switched my

phone off and kept it on

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 lsquoIt is Tues-

day todayrsquo 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 couldnrsquot 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 doesnrsquot 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 wonrsquot 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

- Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D

She lived under a rock

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

From being the young shy girl they saw

But all this struggle slowly had her crumbling

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 lsquolifersquo as its spell

Being myself Irsquoll uplift

Life is too short

Donrsquot be someone else

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 educationWith 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

status of women bringing

them shoulder to shoulder

with men These particular

measures constitute a pro-

cess which is known as ldquoWomen Empowermentrdquo

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

brows The plan was simple lsquoEscape and start overrsquo

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

embryos is set up they would

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

My vision reflects its flaming intention

Irsquom steady upon the decision

About which Irsquoll never disclaim

Accepting the outcome never blame

To impulse refer those achieves

Itrsquos your resolve donrsquot quit

There wasnrsquot 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

Though it may be tough

To perceive ones way to success

A dose of victory isnrsquot enough

Itrsquos always limitless

Television Pros and Cons

- Soumya Sheth

What do most of the people do these days to entertain

themselvesEveryone 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

However like every good and popular inventions tel-

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 elseItrsquos

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 inven-

tion of science in

the right and bene-

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 donrsquot

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

The night before the final examination appears to all

examinees as the night before the Battle of Waterloo

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-

tion they would be

going about their

daily rounds They

may be found in the parks cafes and restaurants talk-

ing about tips ndashtalking 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 ndashconscious 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

-Prajna VIII-D

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 mustnrsquot be exaggerated

Till you salve someonersquos hurt

Elegant you be for the universe to learn your versatility

How can you be silent if you donrsquot know your efficiency

One of the values to become successful is simplicity

Through elegance letrsquos spread positivist

Chocoland - Talreja Aastha IV-J

Once I had been to the Chocolate Land

Chocolate all around to the reach of my hand

Toffees candies lollies and bars

In my mouth a crunchy munchy war

White dark nutty and sweet

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 chocolate car

Soon after it was 6 oclock

And could hear the doorrsquos 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 ldquoHello My friendrdquo but the elephant replied rude-

ly saying ldquoYou tiny

ant Get off my way

otherwise yoursquoll get

crushed to deathrdquo

Hearing this ant

challenged the elephant sayingrdquo My big friend I can

make you cryrdquo The ant quickly climbed onto the trunk

of the elephant and ran towards its earit 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

ldquoPlease come out of my ear I canrsquot bear the painrdquo As

soon as the ant came out the elephant apologized for

its mistake and didnrsquot tease any animals from that day

Grandparents

-Aditya Patil VIII-E

The best place in vacation

A heaven like destination

Their love for us is endless

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

coolest dude

They yell at our parents

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 ldquoWomen Empowermentrdquo 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

Water is the force behind all the industry agriculture

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

without water No

water no life

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 -Aditys Patil VIII-E

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 askedwhere are

the schools There are no schools here Mother said

dont 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

The Day Irsquoll Never Forget - Saranya Sarangi VII -

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 hadnrsquot the thee

Perished laid the martyrs

Whom our motherland gave birth

I still remember that scaring sight

The scattered limbs I couldnrsquot see

My heart got filled with grief and fright

No Indian could glee

Terribly writhing the soldiers were seen

Some families languished and some

were crying

So loyal to their country they had been

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

I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom

O human Then why do you steal my FREEDOM

Binding me alone in the cage makes me sad

Donrsquot you know caging a bird is bad

Looking at the sky

I wish I could fly

I never disturb you

I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom

O human Then why do you steal my

FREEDOM

Summers in India - Saranya Sarangi VIII

A hot season beginning from April till May is what we

call summer And thatrsquos the basic rule in India But

thatrsquos 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 donrsquot 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-

dents can join different aca-

demic and co-curricular

courses to improve them-

selves Many children even spend time with their fami-

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 lsquoSummers in Indiarsquo

Exams are good or bad

- Nupoor Teli VIIIndashI

In my humble opinionexams are apressure on the stu-

dents They are forced to study and score good

markswhich 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 studybut 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

-daysthe main reason for studying is gaining marks If

there are no marksno career andno success This is the

mindset of 70 people of the worldespecially 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-

verthere are projectssubject-enrichment activi-

tieschapter test sfter every topicnotebookfile submis

sion etcAnd as acherry on top

of the cakewe have the semes-

ter exams of eighty marks as

well What all will the students

do And even if any extra-

curricular activities are being learntthen more extra

studies Just studystudy 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 notThey shouldnt be pressurized for

their marksbut 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 dont pressurize

students for what they dont likeand encourage them in

what they do After allthey 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

Never accept less than best

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 magicalhellip

Life is so magicalhellip

Humility -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D

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 personrsquos 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 personrsquos 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

canrsquot 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 yoursquore not strong enough to

stand up for yourself They think you surrender in-

stead of protesting They will despise and scorn you

but they donrsquot know that you take pleasure in what

you do because they havenrsquot experienced that kind of

joy

So if you do have humility donrsquot 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

Mom -Tanvi Sawant VII-C

OUR FUTURE EARTH - Hiya Purswani VIII-B

We all know the present condition of our environment

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 Its 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 its 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 Itrsquos 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

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 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 Itrsquos 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 donʼt

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 quoterdquo 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

Floods and Destruction

- Nirvi Soni IV-H

India faces occurrence of floods each year in some

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

There is a long way to go before

you sleep

Think before you speak

There are hearts you must

please

GLOBAL WARMING - Adhyant Singh VII-F

Global warming refers to the steady rise in the Earthrsquos mean temperature The effect of global

warming had come into sight when polar ice caps started melting this phenomena is called ICE ndash

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 400000000000 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 Earthrsquos surface thus increasing the temperature and also

destroying the ozone layer which prevents the ultraviolet rays of the sun from reaching the earthrsquos 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 (CFCrsquoS) 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

earthrsquos doomsday we all must work together

Itrsquos not too late there is still timehellipBefore the earth ends and we whinehellipSo keep on marching and planting

greens To end Global Warming and Make our planet greenhellip

The Night - Matangi Rajesh VII-D

Its the night

The moon is white

When we switch off the light

What a beautiful sight

After this comes the sun bright

There is no more artificial light

This is the time to start your diet

To go for a run wearing tights

Then comes the evening when

you have snacks light

And fly a big colorful kite

or include your sibling in a pillow fight

Again comes the night

A moon which is white

We switch off the light

A beautiful sight

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 didnt 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 Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane

with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing

speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt 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-

perloops 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 itThe first Hyperloop ndash 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

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

wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-

ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities

chapter test after every topic notebookfile 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

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 lifeI fell that exams

should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate

whether the students are clear with the concepts or

not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but

should be made understand their mistakes Let them

choose their own career options on their own Help

them know what they like to study and what they want

to do in their life So dont pressurize students for

what they dont like and encourage them in what they

do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the

country

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B

Life is all about interactions You meet people and

you interact You observe them consciously or sub-

consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us

more than we even realise Some people leave a last-

ing impression on us and entirely change the course of

life for better or for worse Some people influence us

help us go further and make all the difference

I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-

tial people They have taken care of me ever since I

came into this world They are the ones who wish the

best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-

cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel

no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-

come a part of my personality They are the ones who

helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me

to be better

When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are

the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-

takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique

learning experience It has made me realise how eve-

rything they do has a reason They are the ones who

have taught me the importance of the little things in

life They are the ones who have helped me recognize

and follow my passion The very thought of them not

being a part of my life is scary to the least as without

them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am

today and whatever I have achieved is all because of

them and I am very grateful of that

Eyesight

-Aditi Shenoy VIII-F

The tired little girl went to bed

Recollecting the days bygone

Seeing them in her dreams

As the day she was born

Trying to see the world

With her little eyes

But the sun with his brightness

Wouldnt let her catch the sights

The girl still eager

And curious to see the world around her

Again opened her eyes

But her vision was blurred

Still she did not lose hope

Which flowed through her blood

Encouraging and pushing her

To see the world further

Her heart beating fast

Her enthusiasm increasing

She slowly tried to see

With her eyes continuously blinking

Starting to lose hope

She was ready to give up

But curiosity got the upper hand

And pushed her forward

With her hope again rising

and strength in her eyesight

She is finally seeing the world

With wide open eyes

Conquering the space

-Marisha Nath VIII-C

ldquoThere is no failure in Science it is only continual

effort to conquer the unknown On the way even if we

face failure it rather adds more value to our effort for

our next journey to know the unknownrdquo

Chandrayan-2 Indiarsquos Moon Mission The dream of

entire India to land on moon and become the 4th Na-

tion in the world to put its flag on the soil of moon

after USSR USA amp China

ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launched

Chandrayan-2 on 22nd July 2019 from Bengaluru

(Satish Dhawan Space Center) under the command of

ISRO chief K Shivan It consists of ORBITER

LANDER amp Lunar Rover PRAGYAN Like Chandra-

yan-1(22nd Oct2008) it was Indiarsquos indigenous moon

mission

It touched the Moon Surface on Saturday early morn-

ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-

ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-

ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of

moon it lost contact with the ground station Because

of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be

monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m

(approx) away from its assigned location near

SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still

orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange

signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it

The ORBITER which will remain active for another

12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-

owed portion of the moon for the first time in history

with the help of its high-resolution camera

The entire Nation irrespective of their field of

knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front

of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of

VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true

Indians who always dream progress and development

of their motherland But our heart never accepts this

as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement

for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-

pose of our mission

But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at

this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring

country quoting this as a big failure on part of India

blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos

money on this

Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will

be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to

this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other

nations on such missions

Further I should say that India is not new in the field

of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-

TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975

It was named after famous scientist of ancient India

ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested

for the first time the HELIOCENTRIC THEORY

(Sun at the center and all planets revolve around the

Sun) of the Solar System much earlier than ready for

New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 57

COPERNICUS as believed in the western world

Other countries might have moon on their flags but

we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is

great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are

whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-

rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is

only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the

unknown and its continual application for the benefit

of the mankind)rdquo

Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by

various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-

PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-

cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958

onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as

46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was

attempted out of which only 21 was successful

Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-

tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the

overall attempts conducted by other Nations

USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-

NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was

planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January

SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR

successfully on moon

NASA after many attempts was successful to send

first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th

July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk

on moon

Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-

clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-

SION MANGAL for our next moon mission

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 lsquocause guess what ldquoI AM TRAVELLING IN

THE BUMPY TRAINrdquo 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 therersquos 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

and thatrsquos what makes our

India famous and legend-

ary We also get to eat

those India-famous snacks

from all over India like lsquoShehgaon kachorirsquo lsquo Kol-

hapuri misalrsquo 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

Control Yourself - Suvan Lokhande IX-A

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 TV or maybe food

ldquoControl Yourself Kidrdquo ldquoDone not more than

thisrdquo ldquoControlrdquo such types of sentences maybe

familiar to you which must be said by your mom dad

teachers and your elders But thatrsquos exactly true what

they say I know that itrsquos 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

And these changes can definitely make you proudAt

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 lifehelliphellipControl Yourself amp Be the

Change

Nature

- BHUMESH DADHWAL VIImdashC

The earth is full of surprises

Just look around yourself

It can be anywhere around you

Even somewhere in your bookshelf

The most surprising is nature

Itrsquos full of different stuff

It can be a human or thing or even a creature

We humans made strong big buildings

And thatrsquos 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

To save this marvelous creation

Anger Management

- Sfurti Kumbhar IX-A

AngerhellipThe 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 isnrsquot Itrsquos 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 Irsquom trying to get it

under control Sort of

Impossible right Managing anger sounds easy You

can distract yourself from the situation Permanently

fix an imaginary meter in your brain which indicates

anger level My meter is always near 50-60 When I

say that Irsquom 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 ldquodrink cool water to cool down your warm

headrdquo or breathe Listen to your fav music Or ask

yourself this simple question

ldquoIs getting angry at this person or screaming at them

going to improve my day in any way whatsoeverrdquo

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

ldquofuse blowing offrdquo 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

The voice is so pretty

That it charms in the whole city

There is dance in your smile

With moves in a pile

You make people laugh

With dance as your better half

There is a magical art

Right inside your heart

Painting pictures which create

memories

That are soothing just like a

breeze

You are a Masterpiece

With an end number of skills

Creativity is your strength

Keep safe till the end

Monsoon -Isha Bhanushali VIII

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 youWell 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 600 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

I after a while made up my

mind I will set out and go on

my ownI 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 its

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 Moms scolding

Yes because I had stepped inside a big puddle

Soldier - Marisha Nath VIII-C

Dear soldier you sacrifice yourself for your nation

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

Sati widows shravana shraddha managala gaur

akshaya tritiya child marriage karva chauthhellip

etcetera etcetera etceteraWhat do these words re-

mind you of Yep Thatrsquos right These are all systems

for women

These are sacrifices and systems that women perform

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 processMen work approximately 6 ndash 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 donrsquot

To all the men and boys reading this I have a few

questions for youDo 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 ndash 21

bones at once Did men know this And yet they con-

sider women weak They think that because wersquore

women we cannot thinkIf we cannot think who is

Marie Curie If we are weak who delivers kids

Women arenrsquot any different They are children of

gods They arenrsquot your personal secretaries they are

your partnersOnly 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

ishellipabsolutely nothing

Is this right

Submission to Peer Pressure -Akshat Mishra IX -G

ldquoHey Mohan When did you get this new iPhone-Xrdquo

we asked him in surprise as we knew the financial

condition of his family ldquoMy cousin gifted it to merdquo

quipped Mohan sheepishly All the boys resumed

playing but I knew there was something amissPeer

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

someonersquos 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

arenrsquot 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 arenrsquot 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

ldquoFreedom of Press in Democracyrdquo

- 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

about news from vari-

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

Even if the media subsequently correct a statement the

damage done may be irreparable Hence the media should

take care to carefully investigate any news item before

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

New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 22

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 priceAlso 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

democracySome newspapers espouse the cause of

only one community

ldquoThey do not judge problems on their merits They

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 worldrsquos 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

We all know the present condition of our environment

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 Its 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 beauti-

ful earth and so itrsquos 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 trsquos

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 rdquoEveryone

has a good and a bad side in his life What matters is

the part we choose to act upon rdquoThis is an excellent

thought said by Sirius Black in the movie Harry Pot-

ter Itrsquos 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 donrsquot 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

- Heet Shripal Kankariya VII-G

It is hard to recall the past

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

Dont lose ittry and endeavor

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

With all the night strength and gust

Preserving nature is must

Mother Nature has been so lucrative

Letrsquos do something to save her

Something new and creativersquo

Let us get pollution under control

Before mother Earth weeps and implores

Let clean air sweep

Both high and deep

Let the tiny piece of land

Be clean tidy and neat

Let uncontaminated water be

So that everything doesnrsquot

end like the sea

Let the tree stand

lsquoCause it is more alluring than the seven colour band

Without being loquacious

Mother nature is indeed precious

The Little girl

- Bhumika Sharma VI-F

I found in a garage

Near the carriage

A tiny little baby girl

She had cute blue eyes

Which were very small in size

And had beautiful hair with a cute little curl

I wonder why she was there

And she came fromhellipwhere

I then asked a person passing on the road

If he knew the merciless who

kept her near the horses and

toads

The person replied ldquoWho cares

O Madamhellip

hellipFor a girl who is denied by her

dad and mum

I felt very sad and cried

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 ndashD

It was rainy season

At home came a pigeon

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 didnrsquot fly away

Because I took care

Soon there were three small

eggs

Which were taken care of by the guest

The bird is easy to guess

Because it doesnrsquot make a mess

With its red tail

It looked a bit frail

Between the plants green full full

Was the nest of the little Bulbul

The Art of Dharma as per Mahabharata

- Abhishek Singh [Teacher SrSecondary]

Dharma means the Duty or RighteousnessDharma is

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)Its like the Ying and Yang

Duryodhanarsquos envy for the Pandvarsquos Indraprastha and

Yudhishthirarsquos 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

rivalrsquos possessions or eternal sickness to pull the rival

downThe envy and greed are both presents even in

the

modern day world the failure

of communism was caused by

envy among citizens while 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

Dharma is not justice Its difference between Retribu-

tive Justice and forgiveness While a nation with

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 wasnrsquot happy to see me happy

and I noticed a photograph in my phone which be-

mused me ndash not mentioning how frightened I had be-

come

The picture waswashow can I explain The back-

ground was of my house In the photoI was

sleeping Butbut 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 ndash the

noises from outside noises of something creaking and

the wind forcefully blowing through the thin slit of the

window eerily

I was panic-stricken I

quickly switched my

phone off and kept it on

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 lsquoIt is Tues-

day todayrsquo 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 couldnrsquot 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 doesnrsquot 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 wonrsquot 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

- Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D

She lived under a rock

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

From being the young shy girl they saw

But all this struggle slowly had her crumbling

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 lsquolifersquo as its spell

Being myself Irsquoll uplift

Life is too short

Donrsquot be someone else

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 educationWith 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

status of women bringing

them shoulder to shoulder

with men These particular

measures constitute a pro-

cess which is known as ldquoWomen Empowermentrdquo

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 lsquoEscape and start overrsquo

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

embryos is set up they would

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

Television Pros and Cons

- Soumya Sheth

What do most of the people do these days to entertain

themselvesEveryone 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

However like every good and popular inventions tel-

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 elseItrsquos

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 inven-

tion of science in

the right and bene-

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 donrsquot

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

The night before the final examination appears to all

examinees as the night before the Battle of Waterloo

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-

tion they would be

going about their

daily rounds They

may be found in the parks cafes and restaurants talk-

ing about tips ndashtalking 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 ndashconscious 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

-Prajna VIII-D

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 mustnrsquot be exaggerated

Elegant you be for the universe to learn your versatility

How can you be silent if you donrsquot know your efficiency

One of the values to become successful is simplicity

Through elegance letrsquos spread positivist

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 chocolate car

Soon after it was 6 oclock

And could hear the doorrsquos 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 ldquoHello My friendrdquo but the elephant replied rude-

ly saying ldquoYou tiny

ant Get off my way

otherwise yoursquoll get

crushed to deathrdquo

Hearing this ant

challenged the elephant sayingrdquo My big friend I can

make you cryrdquo The ant quickly climbed onto the trunk

of the elephant and ran towards its earit 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

ldquoPlease come out of my ear I canrsquot bear the painrdquo As

soon as the ant came out the elephant apologized for

its mistake and didnrsquot tease any animals from that day

Grandparents

-Aditya Patil VIII-E

The best place in vacation

A heaven like destination

coolest dude

They yell at our parents

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

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

Water is the force behind all the industry agriculture

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

without water No

water no life

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 -Aditys Patil VIII-E

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 askedwhere are

the schools There are no schools here Mother said

dont 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

The Day Irsquoll Never Forget - Saranya Sarangi VII -

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 hadnrsquot the thee

Perished laid the martyrs

Whom our motherland gave birth

I still remember that scaring sight

The scattered limbs I couldnrsquot see

My heart got filled with grief and fright

No Indian could glee

Terribly writhing the soldiers were seen

Some families languished and some

were crying

So loyal to their country they had been

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

I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom

O human Then why do you steal my FREEDOM

Binding me alone in the cage makes me sad

Donrsquot you know caging a bird is bad

Looking at the sky

I wish I could fly

I never disturb you

I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom

O human Then why do you steal my

Summers in India - Saranya Sarangi VIII

A hot season beginning from April till May is what we

call summer And thatrsquos the basic rule in India But

thatrsquos 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 donrsquot 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-

dents can join different aca-

demic and co-curricular

courses to improve them-

selves Many children even spend time with their fami-

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 lsquoSummers in Indiarsquo

Exams are good or bad

- Nupoor Teli VIIIndashI

In my humble opinionexams are apressure on the stu-

dents They are forced to study and score good

markswhich 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 studybut 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

-daysthe main reason for studying is gaining marks If

there are no marksno career andno success This is the

mindset of 70 people of the worldespecially 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-

verthere are projectssubject-enrichment activi-

tieschapter test sfter every topicnotebookfile submis

sion etcAnd as acherry on top

of the cakewe have the semes-

ter exams of eighty marks as

well What all will the students

do And even if any extra-

curricular activities are being learntthen more extra

studies Just studystudy 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 notThey shouldnt be pressurized for

their marksbut 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 dont pressurize

students for what they dont likeand encourage them in

what they do After allthey are only the Rising stars of

the country

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

Never accept less than best

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 magicalhellip

Life is so magicalhellip

Humility -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D

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 personrsquos 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 personrsquos 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

canrsquot 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 yoursquore not strong enough to

stand up for yourself They think you surrender in-

stead of protesting They will despise and scorn you

but they donrsquot know that you take pleasure in what

you do because they havenrsquot experienced that kind of

joy

So if you do have humility donrsquot 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

Mom -Tanvi Sawant VII-C

Oh mom I came to this beautiful world just because

of youhellip

Mom what would I do without you

Oh mom there are thorns on the way

But you manage to get me awayhellip

Oh mom I canrsquot say how much yoursquore to me

Mom just promise me that yoursquoll and

always be with mehellip

Oh mom this world is incomplete

without you

Just like the sky without itrsquos bright color bluehellip

Oh mom yoursquore the candle that showed the way in the

dark

My dear mom you made my life spark

I am the EARTH - Deepashikha P VII F

Hello I am the Earth

For me I am the sweetest heart

I provide you with lots of stuff

With food and the mangoes that you love

I give you water soil and Sun

I am special as I am just one

But the humans living on me

Are making me dirty

They are cutting all the trees

And killing all the species helliphellip

They filling me with smoke and death

They are killing themselves

with lack of breath

I am the Earth

I am your mother

Make me the best by pol-

luting me less and less

And preventing my green dress

You can save water

you plant a tree

Make a better home for you on me

Recycle things donrsquot throw them awayhellip

MAKE EVERY DAY AN EARTH

OUR FUTURE EARTH - Hiya Purswani VIII-B

We all know the present condition of our environment

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 Its 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 its 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 Itrsquos 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

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 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 Itrsquos 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 donʼt

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 quoterdquo 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

And wait the unfailing gray

Oh Sad are winter nights and slow

And sad is a song thatrsquos dumb

And sad it is to lie I know

Another dawn will come

Floods and Destruction

- Nirvi Soni IV-H

India faces occurrence of floods each year in some

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

Good Morning Everyone -Vyomi ThakkarVI - H

Come with me wersquoll have some fun

Wersquoll go on a walk

Donrsquot worry will have a great talk

Roaming around the ground

With beautiful birdrsquos sound

We donrsquot know if anything will be found

Wersquoll 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

-Shravya Atreya IX-D

Think before you speak

There are hearts you must please

Think before you speak

You canrsquot undo the harm done after you squeak

Think before you speak

You might have done greater harm than you might

think

Think before you speak

There are still places left for you

to seek

Think before you speak

There is a long way to go before

you sleep

Think before you speak

There are hearts you must

please

Sunrise -Anuradha Singh VII-H

Over the glimmering purple sea

Under the golden sun rise

staring at his own in the

enamelled sea

Everything is fine

With fading stars and rising light

GLOBAL WARMING - Adhyant Singh VII-F

Global warming refers to the steady rise in the Earthrsquos mean temperature The effect of global

warming had come into sight when polar ice caps started melting this phenomena is called ICE ndash

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 400000000000 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 Earthrsquos surface thus increasing the temperature and also

destroying the ozone layer which prevents the ultraviolet rays of the sun from reaching the earthrsquos 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 (CFCrsquoS) 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

earthrsquos doomsday we all must work together

Itrsquos not too late there is still timehellipBefore the earth ends and we whinehellipSo keep on marching and planting

greens To end Global Warming and Make our planet greenhellip

What will happen without Instagram

- Kaavya Chaudhary VII-F

Instagram Instagram Instagram

I was hearing it from everyone

I asked who was the inventor

Nobody knew the answer to my question

Mobiles Mobiles Mobiles

I was able to see them everywhere

I asked who was the inventor

Again nobody was aware

I wondered why was it like so

Why is it they donrsquot know

There was one time we were

engrossed in books

Now we care more about our looks

Instagram wonrsquot give you a job

You will have to study and top

Your fellow followers wonrsquot help either

If you donrsquot have a job no one will bother

I am a tree

I am a tree

With a dark green crown

And a thick strong trunk

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

Its the night

The moon is white

When we switch off the light

What a beautiful sight

After this comes the sun bright

There is no more artificial light

This is the time to start your diet

To go for a run wearing tights

Then comes the evening when

you have snacks light

And fly a big colorful kite

or include your sibling in a pillow fight

Again comes the night

A moon which is white

We switch off the light

A beautiful sight

INDIArsquoS 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

Indiarsquos 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 ldquoharness space technology ldquofor 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 ISROrsquos Fat Boyrsquo

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

Indiarsquos 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 didnt 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 Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane

with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing

speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt 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-

perloops 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 itThe first Hyperloop ndash 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

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

wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-

ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities

chapter test after every topic notebookfile 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

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 lifeI fell that exams

should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate

whether the students are clear with the concepts or

not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but

should be made understand their mistakes Let them

choose their own career options on their own Help

them know what they like to study and what they want

to do in their life So dont pressurize students for

what they dont like and encourage them in what they

do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the

country

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B

Life is all about interactions You meet people and

you interact You observe them consciously or sub-

consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us

more than we even realise Some people leave a last-

ing impression on us and entirely change the course of

life for better or for worse Some people influence us

help us go further and make all the difference

I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-

tial people They have taken care of me ever since I

came into this world They are the ones who wish the

best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-

cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel

no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-

come a part of my personality They are the ones who

helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me

to be better

When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are

the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-

takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique

learning experience It has made me realise how eve-

rything they do has a reason They are the ones who

have taught me the importance of the little things in

life They are the ones who have helped me recognize

and follow my passion The very thought of them not

being a part of my life is scary to the least as without

them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am

today and whatever I have achieved is all because of

them and I am very grateful of that

Eyesight

-Aditi Shenoy VIII-F

The tired little girl went to bed

Recollecting the days bygone

Seeing them in her dreams

As the day she was born

Trying to see the world

With her little eyes

But the sun with his brightness

Wouldnt let her catch the sights

The girl still eager

And curious to see the world around her

Again opened her eyes

But her vision was blurred

Still she did not lose hope

Which flowed through her blood

Encouraging and pushing her

To see the world further

Her heart beating fast

Her enthusiasm increasing

She slowly tried to see

With her eyes continuously blinking

Starting to lose hope

She was ready to give up

But curiosity got the upper hand

And pushed her forward

With her hope again rising

and strength in her eyesight

She is finally seeing the world

With wide open eyes

Conquering the space

ldquoThere is no failure in Science it is only continual

effort to conquer the unknown On the way even if we

face failure it rather adds more value to our effort for

our next journey to know the unknownrdquo

Chandrayan-2 Indiarsquos Moon Mission The dream of

entire India to land on moon and become the 4th Na-

tion in the world to put its flag on the soil of moon

after USSR USA amp China

ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launched

Chandrayan-2 on 22nd July 2019 from Bengaluru

(Satish Dhawan Space Center) under the command of

ISRO chief K Shivan It consists of ORBITER

LANDER amp Lunar Rover PRAGYAN Like Chandra-

yan-1(22nd Oct2008) it was Indiarsquos indigenous moon

mission

It touched the Moon Surface on Saturday early morn-

ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-

ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-

ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of

moon it lost contact with the ground station Because

of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be

monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m

(approx) away from its assigned location near

SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still

orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange

signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it

The ORBITER which will remain active for another

12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-

owed portion of the moon for the first time in history

with the help of its high-resolution camera

The entire Nation irrespective of their field of

knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front

of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of

VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true

Indians who always dream progress and development

of their motherland But our heart never accepts this

as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement

for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-

pose of our mission

But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at

this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring

country quoting this as a big failure on part of India

blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos

money on this

Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will

be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to

this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other

nations on such missions

Further I should say that India is not new in the field

of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-

TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975

It was named after famous scientist of ancient India

ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested

for the first time the HELIOCENTRIC THEORY

(Sun at the center and all planets revolve around the

Sun) of the Solar System much earlier than ready for

New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 57

COPERNICUS as believed in the western world

Other countries might have moon on their flags but

we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is

great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are

whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-

rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is

only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the

unknown and its continual application for the benefit

of the mankind)rdquo

Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by

various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-

PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-

cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958

onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as

46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was

attempted out of which only 21 was successful

Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-

tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the

overall attempts conducted by other Nations

USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-

NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was

planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January

SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR

successfully on moon

NASA after many attempts was successful to send

first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th

July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk

on moon

Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-

clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-

SION MANGAL for our next moon mission

The earth is full of surprises

Just look around yourself

It can be anywhere around you

Even somewhere in your bookshelf

It can be a human or thing or even a creature

We humans made strong big buildings

And thatrsquos 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

Letrsquos join hands together

To save this marvelous creation

Anger Management

- Sfurti Kumbhar IX-A

AngerhellipThe 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 isnrsquot Itrsquos 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 Irsquom trying to get it

under control Sort of

Impossible right Managing anger sounds easy You

can distract yourself from the situation Permanently

fix an imaginary meter in your brain which indicates

anger level My meter is always near 50-60 When I

say that Irsquom 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 ldquodrink cool water to cool down your warm

headrdquo or breathe Listen to your fav music Or ask

yourself this simple question

ldquoIs getting angry at this person or screaming at them

going to improve my day in any way whatsoeverrdquo

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

Monsoon -Isha Bhanushali VIII

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 youWell 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 600 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

I after a while made up my

mind I will set out and go on

my ownI 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 its

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 Moms scolding

Yes because I had stepped inside a big puddle

Soldier - Marisha Nath VIII-C

Dear soldier you sacrifice yourself for your nation

You are a warrior

You are our savior

You are in the list of Godrsquos 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

Sati widows shravana shraddha managala gaur

akshaya tritiya child marriage karva chauthhellip

etcetera etcetera etceteraWhat do these words re-

mind you of Yep Thatrsquos right These are all systems

for women

These are sacrifices and systems that women perform

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 processMen work approximately 6 ndash 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 donrsquot

To all the men and boys reading this I have a few

questions for youDo 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 ndash 21

bones at once Did men know this And yet they con-

sider women weak They think that because wersquore

women we cannot thinkIf we cannot think who is

Marie Curie If we are weak who delivers kids

Women arenrsquot any different They are children of

gods They arenrsquot your personal secretaries they are

your partnersOnly 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

ishellipabsolutely nothing

Is this right

Submission to Peer Pressure -Akshat Mishra IX -G

ldquoHey Mohan When did you get this new iPhone-Xrdquo

we asked him in surprise as we knew the financial

condition of his family ldquoMy cousin gifted it to merdquo

quipped Mohan sheepishly All the boys resumed

playing but I knew there was something amissPeer

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

someonersquos 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

arenrsquot 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 arenrsquot 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

ldquoFreedom of Press in Democracyrdquo

- 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

about news from vari-

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

Even if the media subsequently correct a statement the

damage done may be irreparable Hence the media should

take care to carefully investigate any news item before

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

New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 22

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 priceAlso 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

democracySome newspapers espouse the cause of

only one community

ldquoThey do not judge problems on their merits They

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 worldrsquos 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

We all know the present condition of our environment

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 Its 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 beauti-

ful earth and so itrsquos 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 trsquos

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 rdquoEveryone

has a good and a bad side in his life What matters is

the part we choose to act upon rdquoThis is an excellent

thought said by Sirius Black in the movie Harry Pot-

ter Itrsquos 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 donrsquot 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

- Heet Shripal Kankariya VII-G

It is hard to recall the past

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

Dont lose ittry and endeavor

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

With all the night strength and gust

Preserving nature is must

Mother Nature has been so lucrative

Letrsquos do something to save her

Something new and creativersquo

Let us get pollution under control

Before mother Earth weeps and implores

Let clean air sweep

Both high and deep

Let the tiny piece of land

Be clean tidy and neat

Let uncontaminated water be

So that everything doesnrsquot

end like the sea

Let the tree stand

lsquoCause it is more alluring than the seven colour band

Without being loquacious

Mother nature is indeed precious

The Little girl

- Bhumika Sharma VI-F

I found in a garage

Near the carriage

A tiny little baby girl

She had cute blue eyes

Which were very small in size

And had beautiful hair with a cute little curl

I wonder why she was there

And she came fromhellipwhere

I then asked a person passing on the road

If he knew the merciless who

kept her near the horses and

toads

The person replied ldquoWho cares

O Madamhellip

hellipFor a girl who is denied by her

dad and mum

I felt very sad and cried

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 ndashD

It was rainy season

At home came a pigeon

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 didnrsquot fly away

Because I took care

Soon there were three small

eggs

Which were taken care of by the guest

The bird is easy to guess

Because it doesnrsquot make a mess

With its red tail

It looked a bit frail

Between the plants green full full

Was the nest of the little Bulbul

The Art of Dharma as per Mahabharata

- Abhishek Singh [Teacher SrSecondary]

Dharma means the Duty or RighteousnessDharma is

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)Its like the Ying and Yang

Duryodhanarsquos envy for the Pandvarsquos Indraprastha and

Yudhishthirarsquos 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

rivalrsquos possessions or eternal sickness to pull the rival

downThe envy and greed are both presents even in

the

modern day world the failure

of communism was caused by

envy among citizens while 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

Dharma is not justice Its difference between Retribu-

tive Justice and forgiveness While a nation with

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 wasnrsquot happy to see me happy

and I noticed a photograph in my phone which be-

mused me ndash not mentioning how frightened I had be-

come

The picture waswashow can I explain The back-

ground was of my house In the photoI was

sleeping Butbut 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 ndash the

noises from outside noises of something creaking and

the wind forcefully blowing through the thin slit of the

window eerily

I was panic-stricken I

quickly switched my

phone off and kept it on

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 lsquoIt is Tues-

day todayrsquo 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 couldnrsquot 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 doesnrsquot 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 wonrsquot 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

- Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D

She lived under a rock

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

From being the young shy girl they saw

But all this struggle slowly had her crumbling

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 lsquolifersquo as its spell

Being myself Irsquoll uplift

Life is too short

Donrsquot be someone else

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 educationWith 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

status of women bringing

them shoulder to shoulder

with men These particular

measures constitute a pro-

cess which is known as ldquoWomen Empowermentrdquo

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 lsquoEscape and start overrsquo

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

embryos is set up they would

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

Television Pros and Cons

- Soumya Sheth

What do most of the people do these days to entertain

themselvesEveryone 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

However like every good and popular inventions tel-

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 elseItrsquos

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 inven-

tion of science in

the right and bene-

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 donrsquot

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

The night before the final examination appears to all

examinees as the night before the Battle of Waterloo

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-

tion they would be

going about their

daily rounds They

may be found in the parks cafes and restaurants talk-

ing about tips ndashtalking 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 ndashconscious 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

Chocolate all around to the reach of my hand

Toffees candies lollies and bars

In my mouth a crunchy munchy war

White dark nutty and sweet

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 chocolate car

Soon after it was 6 oclock

And could hear the doorrsquos 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 ldquoHello My friendrdquo but the elephant replied rude-

ly saying ldquoYou tiny

ant Get off my way

otherwise yoursquoll get

crushed to deathrdquo

Hearing this ant

challenged the elephant sayingrdquo My big friend I can

make you cryrdquo The ant quickly climbed onto the trunk

of the elephant and ran towards its earit 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

ldquoPlease come out of my ear I canrsquot bear the painrdquo As

soon as the ant came out the elephant apologized for

its mistake and didnrsquot tease any animals from that day

Grandparents

-Aditya Patil VIII-E

The best place in vacation

A heaven like destination

Their love for us is endless

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

coolest dude

They yell at our parents

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 ldquoWomen Empowermentrdquo 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

Water is the force behind all the industry agriculture

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

without water No

water no life

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 -Aditys Patil VIII-E

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 askedwhere are

the schools There are no schools here Mother said

dont 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

The Day Irsquoll Never Forget - Saranya Sarangi VII -

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 hadnrsquot the thee

Perished laid the martyrs

Whom our motherland gave birth

I still remember that scaring sight

The scattered limbs I couldnrsquot see

My heart got filled with grief and fright

No Indian could glee

Terribly writhing the soldiers were seen

Some families languished and some

were crying

So loyal to their country they had been

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

I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom

O human Then why do you steal my FREEDOM

Binding me alone in the cage makes me sad

Donrsquot you know caging a bird is bad

Looking at the sky

I wish I could fly

I never disturb you

I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom

O human Then why do you steal my

FREEDOM

Summers in India - Saranya Sarangi VIII

A hot season beginning from April till May is what we

call summer And thatrsquos the basic rule in India But

thatrsquos 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 donrsquot 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-

dents can join different aca-

demic and co-curricular

courses to improve them-

selves Many children even spend time with their fami-

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 lsquoSummers in Indiarsquo

Exams are good or bad

- Nupoor Teli VIIIndashI

In my humble opinionexams are apressure on the stu-

dents They are forced to study and score good

markswhich 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 studybut 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

-daysthe main reason for studying is gaining marks If

there are no marksno career andno success This is the

mindset of 70 people of the worldespecially 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-

verthere are projectssubject-enrichment activi-

tieschapter test sfter every topicnotebookfile submis

sion etcAnd as acherry on top

of the cakewe have the semes-

ter exams of eighty marks as

well What all will the students

do And even if any extra-

curricular activities are being learntthen more extra

studies Just studystudy 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 notThey shouldnt be pressurized for

their marksbut 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 dont pressurize

students for what they dont likeand encourage them in

what they do After allthey 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

Never accept less than best

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 magicalhellip

Life is so magicalhellip

Humility -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D

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 personrsquos 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 personrsquos 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

canrsquot 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 yoursquore not strong enough to

stand up for yourself They think you surrender in-

stead of protesting They will despise and scorn you

but they donrsquot know that you take pleasure in what

you do because they havenrsquot experienced that kind of

joy

So if you do have humility donrsquot 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

Mom -Tanvi Sawant VII-C

Oh mom I came to this beautiful world just because

of youhellip

Mom what would I do without you

Oh mom there are thorns on the way

But you manage to get me awayhellip

Oh mom I canrsquot say how much yoursquore to me

Mom just promise me that yoursquoll and

always be with mehellip

Oh mom this world is incomplete

without you

Just like the sky without itrsquos bright color bluehellip

Oh mom yoursquore the candle that showed the way in the

dark

My dear mom you made my life spark

OUR FUTURE EARTH - Hiya Purswani VIII-B

We all know the present condition of our environment

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 Its 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 its 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 Itrsquos 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

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 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 Itrsquos 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 donʼt

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 quoterdquo 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

And wait the unfailing gray

Oh Sad are winter nights and slow

And sad is a song thatrsquos dumb

And sad it is to lie I know

Another dawn will come

Floods and Destruction

- Nirvi Soni IV-H

India faces occurrence of floods each year in some

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

Good Morning Everyone -Vyomi ThakkarVI - H

Wersquoll 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

-Shravya Atreya IX-D

Think before you speak

There are hearts you must please

Think before you speak

You canrsquot undo the harm done after you squeak

Think before you speak

You might have done greater harm than you might

think

Think before you speak

There are still places left for you

to seek

Think before you speak

There is a long way to go before

you sleep

Think before you speak

There are hearts you must

please

GLOBAL WARMING - Adhyant Singh VII-F

Global warming refers to the steady rise in the Earthrsquos mean temperature The effect of global

warming had come into sight when polar ice caps started melting this phenomena is called ICE ndash

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 400000000000 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 Earthrsquos surface thus increasing the temperature and also

destroying the ozone layer which prevents the ultraviolet rays of the sun from reaching the earthrsquos 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 (CFCrsquoS) 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

earthrsquos doomsday we all must work together

Itrsquos not too late there is still timehellipBefore the earth ends and we whinehellipSo keep on marching and planting

greens To end Global Warming and Make our planet greenhellip

The Night - Matangi Rajesh VII-D

Its the night

The moon is white

When we switch off the light

What a beautiful sight

After this comes the sun bright

There is no more artificial light

This is the time to start your diet

To go for a run wearing tights

Then comes the evening when

you have snacks light

And fly a big colorful kite

or include your sibling in a pillow fight

Again comes the night

A moon which is white

We switch off the light

A beautiful sight

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 didnt 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 Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane

with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing

speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt 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-

perloops 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 itThe first Hyperloop ndash 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

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

wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-

ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities

chapter test after every topic notebookfile 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

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 lifeI fell that exams

should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate

whether the students are clear with the concepts or

not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but

should be made understand their mistakes Let them

choose their own career options on their own Help

them know what they like to study and what they want

to do in their life So dont pressurize students for

what they dont like and encourage them in what they

do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the

country

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B

Life is all about interactions You meet people and

you interact You observe them consciously or sub-

consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us

more than we even realise Some people leave a last-

ing impression on us and entirely change the course of

life for better or for worse Some people influence us

help us go further and make all the difference

I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-

tial people They have taken care of me ever since I

came into this world They are the ones who wish the

best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-

cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel

no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-

come a part of my personality They are the ones who

helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me

to be better

When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are

the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-

takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique

learning experience It has made me realise how eve-

rything they do has a reason They are the ones who

have taught me the importance of the little things in

life They are the ones who have helped me recognize

and follow my passion The very thought of them not

being a part of my life is scary to the least as without

them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am

today and whatever I have achieved is all because of

them and I am very grateful of that

With her little eyes

But the sun with his brightness

Wouldnt let her catch the sights

The girl still eager

And curious to see the world around her

Again opened her eyes

But her vision was blurred

Still she did not lose hope

Which flowed through her blood

Encouraging and pushing her

To see the world further

Her heart beating fast

Her enthusiasm increasing

She slowly tried to see

With her eyes continuously blinking

Starting to lose hope

She was ready to give up

But curiosity got the upper hand

And pushed her forward

With her hope again rising

and strength in her eyesight

She is finally seeing the world

With wide open eyes

Conquering the space

-Marisha Nath VIII-C

ldquoThere is no failure in Science it is only continual

effort to conquer the unknown On the way even if we

face failure it rather adds more value to our effort for

our next journey to know the unknownrdquo

Chandrayan-2 Indiarsquos Moon Mission The dream of

entire India to land on moon and become the 4th Na-

tion in the world to put its flag on the soil of moon

after USSR USA amp China

ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launched

Chandrayan-2 on 22nd July 2019 from Bengaluru

(Satish Dhawan Space Center) under the command of

ISRO chief K Shivan It consists of ORBITER

LANDER amp Lunar Rover PRAGYAN Like Chandra-

yan-1(22nd Oct2008) it was Indiarsquos indigenous moon

mission

It touched the Moon Surface on Saturday early morn-

ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-

ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-

ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of

moon it lost contact with the ground station Because

of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be

monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m

(approx) away from its assigned location near

SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still

orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange

signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it

The ORBITER which will remain active for another

12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-

owed portion of the moon for the first time in history

with the help of its high-resolution camera

The entire Nation irrespective of their field of

knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front

of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of

VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true

Indians who always dream progress and development

of their motherland But our heart never accepts this

as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement

for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-

pose of our mission

But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at

this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring

country quoting this as a big failure on part of India

blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos

money on this

Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will

be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to

this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other

nations on such missions

Further I should say that India is not new in the field

of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-

TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975

It was named after famous scientist of ancient India

ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested

for the first time the HELIOCENTRIC THEORY

(Sun at the center and all planets revolve around the

Sun) of the Solar System much earlier than ready for

New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 57

COPERNICUS as believed in the western world

Other countries might have moon on their flags but

we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is

great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are

whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-

rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is

only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the

unknown and its continual application for the benefit

of the mankind)rdquo

Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by

various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-

PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-

cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958

onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as

46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was

attempted out of which only 21 was successful

Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-

tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the

overall attempts conducted by other Nations

USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-

NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was

planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January

SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR

successfully on moon

NASA after many attempts was successful to send

first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th

July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk

on moon

Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-

clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-

SION MANGAL for our next moon mission

Anger Management

- Sfurti Kumbhar IX-A

AngerhellipThe 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 isnrsquot Itrsquos 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 Irsquom trying to get it

under control Sort of

Impossible right Managing anger sounds easy You

can distract yourself from the situation Permanently

fix an imaginary meter in your brain which indicates

anger level My meter is always near 50-60 When I

say that Irsquom 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 ldquodrink cool water to cool down your warm

headrdquo or breathe Listen to your fav music Or ask

yourself this simple question

ldquoIs getting angry at this person or screaming at them

going to improve my day in any way whatsoeverrdquo

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

ldquofuse blowing offrdquo 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

The voice is so pretty

That it charms in the whole city

There is dance in your smile

With moves in a pile

You make people laugh

With dance as your better half

There is a magical art

Right inside your heart

Painting pictures which create

memories

That are soothing just like a

breeze

You are a Masterpiece

With an end number of skills

Creativity is your strength

Keep safe till the end

Friend

- Nupoor Teli VIII

of the shining night

It is the light

Friend is the one

who brings out your good

who makes your mood

Friend is like

a blooming flower

A true friendship is

higher than a tower

Monsoon -Isha Bhanushali VIII

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 youWell 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 600 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

I after a while made up my

mind I will set out and go on

my ownI 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 its

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 Moms scolding

Yes because I had stepped inside a big puddle

Soldier - Marisha Nath VIII-C

Dear soldier you sacrifice yourself for your nation

But people think itrsquos your job not your passion

You are a warrior

You are our savior

You are in the list of Godrsquos 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

Sati widows shravana shraddha managala gaur

akshaya tritiya child marriage karva chauthhellip

etcetera etcetera etceteraWhat do these words re-

mind you of Yep Thatrsquos right These are all systems

for women

These are sacrifices and systems that women perform

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 processMen work approximately 6 ndash 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 donrsquot

To all the men and boys reading this I have a few

questions for youDo 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 ndash 21

bones at once Did men know this And yet they con-

sider women weak They think that because wersquore

women we cannot thinkIf we cannot think who is

Marie Curie If we are weak who delivers kids

Women arenrsquot any different They are children of

gods They arenrsquot your personal secretaries they are

your partnersOnly 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

ishellipabsolutely nothing

Is this right

Submission to Peer Pressure -Akshat Mishra IX -G

ldquoHey Mohan When did you get this new iPhone-Xrdquo

we asked him in surprise as we knew the financial

condition of his family ldquoMy cousin gifted it to merdquo

quipped Mohan sheepishly All the boys resumed

playing but I knew there was something amissPeer

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

someonersquos 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

arenrsquot 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 arenrsquot 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

ldquoFreedom of Press in Democracyrdquo

- 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

about news from vari-

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

Even if the media subsequently correct a statement the

damage done may be irreparable Hence the media should

take care to carefully investigate any news item before

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

New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 22

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 priceAlso 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

democracySome newspapers espouse the cause of

only one community

ldquoThey do not judge problems on their merits They

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 worldrsquos 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

We all know the present condition of our environment

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 Its 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 beauti-

ful earth and so itrsquos 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 trsquos

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 rdquoEveryone

has a good and a bad side in his life What matters is

the part we choose to act upon rdquoThis is an excellent

thought said by Sirius Black in the movie Harry Pot-

ter Itrsquos 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 donrsquot 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

- Heet Shripal Kankariya VII-G

It is hard to recall the past

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

Dont lose ittry and endeavor

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

With all the night strength and gust

Preserving nature is must

Mother Nature has been so lucrative

Letrsquos do something to save her

Something new and creativersquo

Let us get pollution under control

Before mother Earth weeps and implores

Let clean air sweep

Both high and deep

Let the tiny piece of land

Be clean tidy and neat

Let uncontaminated water be

So that everything doesnrsquot

end like the sea

Let the tree stand

lsquoCause it is more alluring than the seven colour band

Without being loquacious

Mother nature is indeed precious

The Little girl

- Bhumika Sharma VI-F

I found in a garage

Near the carriage

A tiny little baby girl

She had cute blue eyes

Which were very small in size

And had beautiful hair with a cute little curl

I wonder why she was there

And she came fromhellipwhere

I then asked a person passing on the road

If he knew the merciless who

kept her near the horses and

toads

The person replied ldquoWho cares

O Madamhellip

hellipFor a girl who is denied by her

dad and mum

I felt very sad and cried

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 ndashD

It was rainy season

At home came a pigeon

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 didnrsquot fly away

Because I took care

Soon there were three small

eggs

Which were taken care of by the guest

The bird is easy to guess

Because it doesnrsquot make a mess

With its red tail

It looked a bit frail

Between the plants green full full

Was the nest of the little Bulbul

The Art of Dharma as per Mahabharata

- Abhishek Singh [Teacher SrSecondary]

Dharma means the Duty or RighteousnessDharma is

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)Its like the Ying and Yang

Duryodhanarsquos envy for the Pandvarsquos Indraprastha and

Yudhishthirarsquos 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

rivalrsquos possessions or eternal sickness to pull the rival

downThe envy and greed are both presents even in

the

modern day world the failure

of communism was caused by

envy among citizens while 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

Dharma is not justice Its difference between Retribu-

tive Justice and forgiveness While a nation with

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 wasnrsquot happy to see me happy

and I noticed a photograph in my phone which be-

mused me ndash not mentioning how frightened I had be-

come

The picture waswashow can I explain The back-

ground was of my house In the photoI was

sleeping Butbut 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 ndash the

noises from outside noises of something creaking and

the wind forcefully blowing through the thin slit of the

window eerily

I was panic-stricken I

quickly switched my

phone off and kept it on

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 lsquoIt is Tues-

day todayrsquo 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 couldnrsquot 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 doesnrsquot 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 wonrsquot 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

- Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D

She lived under a rock

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

From being the young shy girl they saw

But all this struggle slowly had her crumbling

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 lsquolifersquo as its spell

Being myself Irsquoll uplift

Life is too short

Donrsquot be someone else

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 educationWith such state of affairs it

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 lsquoEscape and start overrsquo

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

embryos is set up they would

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

My vision reflects its flaming intention

Irsquom steady upon the decision

About which Irsquoll never disclaim

Accepting the outcome never blame

To impulse refer those achieves

Itrsquos your resolve donrsquot quit

In the decision of mine

I possess optimism in myself

And so I believe everything

will be fine

Though it may be tough

To perceive ones way to success

A dose of victory isnrsquot enough

Television Pros and Cons

- Soumya Sheth

What do most of the people do these days to entertain

themselvesEveryone 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

However like every good and popular inventions tel-

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 elseItrsquos

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 inven-

tion of science in

the right and bene-

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 donrsquot

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

The night before the final examination appears to all

examinees as the night before the Battle of Waterloo

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-

tion they would be

going about their

daily rounds They

may be found in the parks cafes and restaurants talk-

ing about tips ndashtalking 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 ndashconscious 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

-Prajna VIII-D

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 mustnrsquot be exaggerated

Till you salve someonersquos hurt

Elegant you be for the universe to learn your versatility

How can you be silent if you donrsquot know your efficiency

One of the values to become successful is simplicity

Through elegance letrsquos spread positivist

Once I had been to the Chocolate Land

Chocolate all around to the reach of my hand

Toffees candies lollies and bars

In my mouth a crunchy munchy war

White dark nutty and sweet

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 chocolate car

Soon after it was 6 oclock

And could hear the doorrsquos 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 ldquoHello My friendrdquo but the elephant replied rude-

ly saying ldquoYou tiny

ant Get off my way

otherwise yoursquoll get

crushed to deathrdquo

Hearing this ant

challenged the elephant sayingrdquo My big friend I can

make you cryrdquo The ant quickly climbed onto the trunk

of the elephant and ran towards its earit 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

ldquoPlease come out of my ear I canrsquot bear the painrdquo As

soon as the ant came out the elephant apologized for

its mistake and didnrsquot tease any animals from that day

Grandparents

-Aditya Patil VIII-E

The best place in vacation

A heaven like destination

Their love for us is endless

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

coolest dude

They yell at our parents

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 ldquoWomen Empowermentrdquo 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

Water is the force behind all the industry agriculture

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

without water No

water no life

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 -Aditys Patil VIII-E

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 askedwhere are

the schools There are no schools here Mother said

dont 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

The Day Irsquoll Never Forget - Saranya Sarangi VII -

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 hadnrsquot the thee

Perished laid the martyrs

Whom our motherland gave birth

I still remember that scaring sight

The scattered limbs I couldnrsquot see

My heart got filled with grief and fright

No Indian could glee

Terribly writhing the soldiers were seen

Some families languished and some

were crying

So loyal to their country they had been

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

I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom

O human Then why do you steal my FREEDOM

Binding me alone in the cage makes me sad

Donrsquot you know caging a bird is bad

Looking at the sky

I wish I could fly

I never disturb you

I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom

O human Then why do you steal my

FREEDOM

Summers in India - Saranya Sarangi VIII

A hot season beginning from April till May is what we

call summer And thatrsquos the basic rule in India But

thatrsquos 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 donrsquot 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-

dents can join different aca-

demic and co-curricular

courses to improve them-

selves Many children even spend time with their fami-

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 lsquoSummers in Indiarsquo

Exams are good or bad

- Nupoor Teli VIIIndashI

In my humble opinionexams are apressure on the stu-

dents They are forced to study and score good

markswhich 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 studybut 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

-daysthe main reason for studying is gaining marks If

there are no marksno career andno success This is the

mindset of 70 people of the worldespecially 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-

verthere are projectssubject-enrichment activi-

tieschapter test sfter every topicnotebookfile submis

sion etcAnd as acherry on top

of the cakewe have the semes-

ter exams of eighty marks as

well What all will the students

do And even if any extra-

curricular activities are being learntthen more extra

studies Just studystudy 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 notThey shouldnt be pressurized for

their marksbut 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 dont pressurize

students for what they dont likeand encourage them in

what they do After allthey 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

Never accept less than best

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 magicalhellip

Life is so magicalhellip

Humility -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D

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 personrsquos 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 personrsquos 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

canrsquot 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 yoursquore not strong enough to

stand up for yourself They think you surrender in-

stead of protesting They will despise and scorn you

but they donrsquot know that you take pleasure in what

you do because they havenrsquot experienced that kind of

joy

So if you do have humility donrsquot 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

Mom -Tanvi Sawant VII-C

OUR FUTURE EARTH - Hiya Purswani VIII-B

We all know the present condition of our environment

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 Its 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 its 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 Itrsquos 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

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 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 Itrsquos 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 donʼt

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 quoterdquo 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

Floods and Destruction

- Nirvi Soni IV-H

India faces occurrence of floods each year in some

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

Think before you speak

There are hearts you must

please

GLOBAL WARMING - Adhyant Singh VII-F

Global warming refers to the steady rise in the Earthrsquos mean temperature The effect of global

warming had come into sight when polar ice caps started melting this phenomena is called ICE ndash

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 400000000000 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 Earthrsquos surface thus increasing the temperature and also

destroying the ozone layer which prevents the ultraviolet rays of the sun from reaching the earthrsquos 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 (CFCrsquoS) 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

earthrsquos doomsday we all must work together

Itrsquos not too late there is still timehellipBefore the earth ends and we whinehellipSo keep on marching and planting

greens To end Global Warming and Make our planet greenhellip

The Night - Matangi Rajesh VII-D

Its the night

The moon is white

When we switch off the light

What a beautiful sight

After this comes the sun bright

There is no more artificial light

This is the time to start your diet

To go for a run wearing tights

Then comes the evening when

you have snacks light

And fly a big colorful kite

or include your sibling in a pillow fight

Again comes the night

A moon which is white

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 didnt 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 Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane

with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing

speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt 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-

perloops 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 itThe first Hyperloop ndash 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

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

wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-

ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities

chapter test after every topic notebookfile 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

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 lifeI fell that exams

should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate

whether the students are clear with the concepts or

not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but

should be made understand their mistakes Let them

choose their own career options on their own Help

them know what they like to study and what they want

to do in their life So dont pressurize students for

what they dont like and encourage them in what they

do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the

country

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B

Life is all about interactions You meet people and

you interact You observe them consciously or sub-

consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us

more than we even realise Some people leave a last-

ing impression on us and entirely change the course of

life for better or for worse Some people influence us

help us go further and make all the difference

I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-

tial people They have taken care of me ever since I

came into this world They are the ones who wish the

best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-

cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel

no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-

come a part of my personality They are the ones who

helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me

to be better

When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are

the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-

takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique

learning experience It has made me realise how eve-

rything they do has a reason They are the ones who

have taught me the importance of the little things in

life They are the ones who have helped me recognize

and follow my passion The very thought of them not

being a part of my life is scary to the least as without

them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am

today and whatever I have achieved is all because of

them and I am very grateful of that

Eyesight

-Aditi Shenoy VIII-F

The tired little girl went to bed

Recollecting the days bygone

Seeing them in her dreams

As the day she was born

Trying to see the world

With her little eyes

But the sun with his brightness

Wouldnt let her catch the sights

The girl still eager

And curious to see the world around her

Again opened her eyes

But her vision was blurred

Still she did not lose hope

Which flowed through her blood

Encouraging and pushing her

To see the world further

Her heart beating fast

Her enthusiasm increasing

She slowly tried to see

With her eyes continuously blinking

Starting to lose hope

She was ready to give up

But curiosity got the upper hand

And pushed her forward

With her hope again rising

and strength in her eyesight

She is finally seeing the world

With wide open eyes

Conquering the space

-Marisha Nath VIII-C

ldquoThere is no failure in Science it is only continual

effort to conquer the unknown On the way even if we

face failure it rather adds more value to our effort for

our next journey to know the unknownrdquo

Chandrayan-2 Indiarsquos Moon Mission The dream of

entire India to land on moon and become the 4th Na-

tion in the world to put its flag on the soil of moon

after USSR USA amp China

ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launched

Chandrayan-2 on 22nd July 2019 from Bengaluru

(Satish Dhawan Space Center) under the command of

ISRO chief K Shivan It consists of ORBITER

LANDER amp Lunar Rover PRAGYAN Like Chandra-

yan-1(22nd Oct2008) it was Indiarsquos indigenous moon

mission

It touched the Moon Surface on Saturday early morn-

ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-

ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-

ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of

moon it lost contact with the ground station Because

of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be

monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m

(approx) away from its assigned location near

SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still

orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange

signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it

The ORBITER which will remain active for another

12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-

owed portion of the moon for the first time in history

with the help of its high-resolution camera

The entire Nation irrespective of their field of

knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front

of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of

VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true

Indians who always dream progress and development

of their motherland But our heart never accepts this

as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement

for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-

pose of our mission

But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at

this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring

country quoting this as a big failure on part of India

blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos

money on this

Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will

be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to

this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other

nations on such missions

Further I should say that India is not new in the field

of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-

TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975

It was named after famous scientist of ancient India

ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested

for the first time the HELIOCENTRIC THEORY

(Sun at the center and all planets revolve around the

Sun) of the Solar System much earlier than ready for

New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 57

COPERNICUS as believed in the western world

Other countries might have moon on their flags but

we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is

great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are

whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-

rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is

only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the

unknown and its continual application for the benefit

of the mankind)rdquo

Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by

various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-

PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-

cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958

onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as

46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was

attempted out of which only 21 was successful

Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-

tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the

overall attempts conducted by other Nations

USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-

NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was

planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January

SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR

successfully on moon

NASA after many attempts was successful to send

first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th

July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk

on moon

Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-

clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-

SION MANGAL for our next moon mission

Anger Management

- Sfurti Kumbhar IX-A

AngerhellipThe 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 isnrsquot Itrsquos 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 Irsquom trying to get it

under control Sort of

Impossible right Managing anger sounds easy You

can distract yourself from the situation Permanently

fix an imaginary meter in your brain which indicates

anger level My meter is always near 50-60 When I

say that Irsquom 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 ldquodrink cool water to cool down your warm

headrdquo or breathe Listen to your fav music Or ask

yourself this simple question

ldquoIs getting angry at this person or screaming at them

going to improve my day in any way whatsoeverrdquo

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

ldquofuse blowing offrdquo 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

The voice is so pretty

That it charms in the whole city

There is dance in your smile

With moves in a pile

You make people laugh

With dance as your better half

There is a magical art

Right inside your heart

Painting pictures which create

memories

That are soothing just like a

breeze

You are a Masterpiece

With an end number of skills

Creativity is your strength

Keep safe till the end

Friend

- Nupoor Teli VIII

of the shining night

It is the light

that makes your life bright

Friend is the one

who brings out your good

A friend is the person

who makes your mood

Friend is like

a blooming flower

A true friendship is

higher than a tower

Monsoon -Isha Bhanushali VIII

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 youWell 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 600 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

I after a while made up my

mind I will set out and go on

my ownI 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 its

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 Moms scolding

Yes because I had stepped inside a big puddle

Soldier - Marisha Nath VIII-C

Dear soldier you sacrifice yourself for your nation

But people think itrsquos your job not your passion

You are a warrior

You are our savior

You are in the list of Godrsquos 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

Sati widows shravana shraddha managala gaur

akshaya tritiya child marriage karva chauthhellip

etcetera etcetera etceteraWhat do these words re-

mind you of Yep Thatrsquos right These are all systems

for women

These are sacrifices and systems that women perform

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 processMen work approximately 6 ndash 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 donrsquot

To all the men and boys reading this I have a few

questions for youDo 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 ndash 21

bones at once Did men know this And yet they con-

sider women weak They think that because wersquore

women we cannot thinkIf we cannot think who is

Marie Curie If we are weak who delivers kids

Women arenrsquot any different They are children of

gods They arenrsquot your personal secretaries they are

your partnersOnly 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

ishellipabsolutely nothing

Is this right

Submission to Peer Pressure -Akshat Mishra IX -G

ldquoHey Mohan When did you get this new iPhone-Xrdquo

we asked him in surprise as we knew the financial

condition of his family ldquoMy cousin gifted it to merdquo

quipped Mohan sheepishly All the boys resumed

playing but I knew there was something amissPeer

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

someonersquos 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

arenrsquot 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 arenrsquot 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

ldquoFreedom of Press in Democracyrdquo

- 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

about news from vari-

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

Even if the media subsequently correct a statement the

damage done may be irreparable Hence the media should

take care to carefully investigate any news item before

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

New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 22

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 priceAlso 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

democracySome newspapers espouse the cause of

only one community

ldquoThey do not judge problems on their merits They

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 worldrsquos 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

We all know the present condition of our environment

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 Its 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 beauti-

ful earth and so itrsquos 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 trsquos

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 rdquoEveryone

has a good and a bad side in his life What matters is

the part we choose to act upon rdquoThis is an excellent

thought said by Sirius Black in the movie Harry Pot-

ter Itrsquos 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 donrsquot change Its not that easy to plant a

tree and care for it a whole year but if we only plant it

Endeavor

- Heet Shripal Kankariya VII-G

It is hard to recall the past

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

Dont lose ittry and endeavor

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

With all the night strength and gust

Preserving nature is must

Mother Nature has been so lucrative

Letrsquos do something to save her

Something new and creativersquo

Let us get pollution under control

Before mother Earth weeps and implores

Let clean air sweep

Both high and deep

Let the tiny piece of land

Be clean tidy and neat

Let uncontaminated water be

So that everything doesnrsquot

end like the sea

Let the tree stand

lsquoCause it is more alluring than the seven colour band

Without being loquacious

Mother nature is indeed precious

The Little girl

- Bhumika Sharma VI-F

I found in a garage

Near the carriage

A tiny little baby girl

She had cute blue eyes

Which were very small in size

And had beautiful hair with a cute little curl

I wonder why she was there

And she came fromhellipwhere

I then asked a person passing on the road

If he knew the merciless who

kept her near the horses and

toads

The person replied ldquoWho cares

O Madamhellip

hellipFor a girl who is denied by her

dad and mum

I felt very sad and cried

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 ndashD

It was rainy season

At home came a pigeon

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 didnrsquot fly away

Because I took care

Soon there were three small

eggs

Which were taken care of by the guest

The bird is easy to guess

Because it doesnrsquot make a mess

With its red tail

It looked a bit frail

Between the plants green full full

Was the nest of the little Bulbul

The Art of Dharma as per Mahabharata

- Abhishek Singh [Teacher SrSecondary]

Dharma means the Duty or RighteousnessDharma is

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)Its like the Ying and Yang

Duryodhanarsquos envy for the Pandvarsquos Indraprastha and

Yudhishthirarsquos 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

rivalrsquos possessions or eternal sickness to pull the rival

downThe envy and greed are both presents even in

the

modern day world the failure

of communism was caused by

envy among citizens while 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

Dharma is not justice Its difference between Retribu-

tive Justice and forgiveness While a nation with

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 wasnrsquot happy to see me happy

and I noticed a photograph in my phone which be-

mused me ndash not mentioning how frightened I had be-

come

The picture waswashow can I explain The back-

ground was of my house In the photoI was

sleeping Butbut 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 ndash the

noises from outside noises of something creaking and

the wind forcefully blowing through the thin slit of the

window eerily

I was panic-stricken I

quickly switched my

phone off and kept it on

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 lsquoIt is Tues-

day todayrsquo 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 couldnrsquot 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 doesnrsquot 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 wonrsquot 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

- Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D

She lived under a rock

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

From being the young shy girl they saw

But all this struggle slowly had her crumbling

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 lsquolifersquo as its spell

Being myself Irsquoll uplift

Life is too short

Donrsquot be someone else

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 educationWith 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

status of women bringing

them shoulder to shoulder

with men These particular

measures constitute a pro-

cess which is known as ldquoWomen Empowermentrdquo

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 lsquoEscape and start overrsquo

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

embryos is set up they would

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

Television Pros and Cons

- Soumya Sheth

What do most of the people do these days to entertain

themselvesEveryone 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

However like every good and popular inventions tel-

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 elseItrsquos

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 inven-

tion of science in

the right and bene-

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 donrsquot

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

The night before the final examination appears to all

examinees as the night before the Battle of Waterloo

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-

tion they would be

going about their

daily rounds They

may be found in the parks cafes and restaurants talk-

ing about tips ndashtalking 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 ndashconscious 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

-Prajna VIII-D

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 mustnrsquot be exaggerated

Till you salve someonersquos hurt

Elegant you be for the universe to learn your versatility

How can you be silent if you donrsquot know your efficiency

One of the values to become successful is simplicity

Through elegance letrsquos spread positivist

Once I had been to the Chocolate Land

Chocolate all around to the reach of my hand

Toffees candies lollies and bars

In my mouth a crunchy munchy war

White dark nutty and sweet

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 chocolate car

Soon after it was 6 oclock

And could hear the doorrsquos 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 ldquoHello My friendrdquo but the elephant replied rude-

ly saying ldquoYou tiny

ant Get off my way

otherwise yoursquoll get

crushed to deathrdquo

Hearing this ant

challenged the elephant sayingrdquo My big friend I can

make you cryrdquo The ant quickly climbed onto the trunk

of the elephant and ran towards its earit 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

ldquoPlease come out of my ear I canrsquot bear the painrdquo As

soon as the ant came out the elephant apologized for

its mistake and didnrsquot tease any animals from that day

Grandparents

-Aditya Patil VIII-E

The best place in vacation

A heaven like destination

Their love for us is endless

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

coolest dude

They yell at our parents

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

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

Water is the force behind all the industry agriculture

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

without water No

water no life

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 -Aditys Patil VIII-E

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 askedwhere are

the schools There are no schools here Mother said

dont 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

The Day Irsquoll Never Forget - Saranya Sarangi VII -

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 hadnrsquot the thee

Perished laid the martyrs

Whom our motherland gave birth

I still remember that scaring sight

The scattered limbs I couldnrsquot see

My heart got filled with grief and fright

No Indian could glee

Terribly writhing the soldiers were seen

Some families languished and some

were crying

So loyal to their country they had been

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

I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom

O human Then why do you steal my FREEDOM

Binding me alone in the cage makes me sad

Donrsquot you know caging a bird is bad

Looking at the sky

I wish I could fly

I never disturb you

I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom

O human Then why do you steal my

Summers in India - Saranya Sarangi VIII

A hot season beginning from April till May is what we

call summer And thatrsquos the basic rule in India But

thatrsquos 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 donrsquot 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-

dents can join different aca-

demic and co-curricular

courses to improve them-

selves Many children even spend time with their fami-

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 lsquoSummers in Indiarsquo

Exams are good or bad

- Nupoor Teli VIIIndashI

In my humble opinionexams are apressure on the stu-

dents They are forced to study and score good

markswhich 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 studybut 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

-daysthe main reason for studying is gaining marks If

there are no marksno career andno success This is the

mindset of 70 people of the worldespecially 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-

verthere are projectssubject-enrichment activi-

tieschapter test sfter every topicnotebookfile submis

sion etcAnd as acherry on top

of the cakewe have the semes-

ter exams of eighty marks as

well What all will the students

do And even if any extra-

curricular activities are being learntthen more extra

studies Just studystudy 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 notThey shouldnt be pressurized for

their marksbut 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 dont pressurize

students for what they dont likeand encourage them in

what they do After allthey 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

Never accept less than best

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 magicalhellip

Life is so magicalhellip

Humility -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D

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 personrsquos 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 personrsquos 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

canrsquot 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 yoursquore not strong enough to

stand up for yourself They think you surrender in-

stead of protesting They will despise and scorn you

but they donrsquot know that you take pleasure in what

you do because they havenrsquot experienced that kind of

joy

So if you do have humility donrsquot 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

Mom -Tanvi Sawant VII-C

Oh mom I came to this beautiful world just because

Make a better home for you on me

OUR FUTURE EARTH - Hiya Purswani VIII-B

We all know the present condition of our environment

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 Its 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 its 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 Itrsquos 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

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 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 Itrsquos 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 donʼt

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 quoterdquo 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

And wait the unfailing gray

Oh Sad are winter nights and slow

And sad is a song thatrsquos dumb

And sad it is to lie I know

Another dawn will come

Floods and Destruction

- Nirvi Soni IV-H

India faces occurrence of floods each year in some

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

Good Morning Everyone -Vyomi ThakkarVI - H

Come with me wersquoll have some fun

Wersquoll go on a walk

Donrsquot worry will have a great talk

Roaming around the ground

With beautiful birdrsquos sound

We donrsquot know if anything will be found

Wersquoll 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

-Shravya Atreya IX-D

Think before you speak

There are hearts you must please

Think before you speak

You canrsquot undo the harm done after you squeak

Think before you speak

You might have done greater harm than you might

think

Think before you speak

There are still places left for you

to seek

Think before you speak

There is a long way to go before

you sleep

Think before you speak

There are hearts you must

please

Sunrise -Anuradha Singh VII-H

Over the glimmering purple sea

Under the golden sun rise

The Island dreams under the dawn

And the message is carried by the wind that blows

across the bitter sea

A sparrow sways upon a tree

staring at his own in the

enamelled sea

Everything is fine

With fading stars and rising light

GLOBAL WARMING - Adhyant Singh VII-F

Global warming refers to the steady rise in the Earthrsquos mean temperature The effect of global

warming had come into sight when polar ice caps started melting this phenomena is called ICE ndash

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 400000000000 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 Earthrsquos surface thus increasing the temperature and also

destroying the ozone layer which prevents the ultraviolet rays of the sun from reaching the earthrsquos 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 (CFCrsquoS) 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

earthrsquos doomsday we all must work together

Itrsquos not too late there is still timehellipBefore the earth ends and we whinehellipSo keep on marching and planting

greens To end Global Warming and Make our planet greenhellip

What will happen without Instagram

- Kaavya Chaudhary VII-F

Instagram Instagram Instagram

I was hearing it from everyone

I asked who was the inventor

Nobody knew the answer to my question

Mobiles Mobiles Mobiles

I was able to see them everywhere

I asked who was the inventor

Again nobody was aware

I wondered why was it like so

Why is it they donrsquot know

There was one time we were

engrossed in books

Now we care more about our looks

Instagram wonrsquot give you a job

You will have to study and top

Your fellow followers wonrsquot help either

If you donrsquot have a job no one will bother

I am a tree

- Yashawini Pillai

I am a tree

With a dark green crown

And a thick strong trunk

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

Its the night

The moon is white

When we switch off the light

What a beautiful sight

After this comes the sun bright

There is no more artificial light

This is the time to start your diet

To go for a run wearing tights

Then comes the evening when

you have snacks light

And fly a big colorful kite

or include your sibling in a pillow fight

Again comes the night

A moon which is white

We switch off the light

A beautiful sight

INDIArsquoS 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

Indiarsquos 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 ldquoharness space technology ldquofor 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 ISROrsquos Fat Boyrsquo

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

Indiarsquos 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 didnt 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 Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane

with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing

speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt 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-

perloops 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 itThe first Hyperloop ndash 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

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

wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-

ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities

chapter test after every topic notebookfile 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

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 lifeI fell that exams

should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate

whether the students are clear with the concepts or

not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but

should be made understand their mistakes Let them

choose their own career options on their own Help

them know what they like to study and what they want

to do in their life So dont pressurize students for

what they dont like and encourage them in what they

do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the

country

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B

Life is all about interactions You meet people and

you interact You observe them consciously or sub-

consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us

more than we even realise Some people leave a last-

ing impression on us and entirely change the course of

life for better or for worse Some people influence us

help us go further and make all the difference

I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-

tial people They have taken care of me ever since I

came into this world They are the ones who wish the

best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-

cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel

no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-

come a part of my personality They are the ones who

helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me

to be better

When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are

the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-

takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique

learning experience It has made me realise how eve-

rything they do has a reason They are the ones who

have taught me the importance of the little things in

life They are the ones who have helped me recognize

and follow my passion The very thought of them not

being a part of my life is scary to the least as without

them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am

today and whatever I have achieved is all because of

them and I am very grateful of that

Eyesight

-Aditi Shenoy VIII-F

The tired little girl went to bed

Recollecting the days bygone

Seeing them in her dreams

As the day she was born

Trying to see the world

With her little eyes

But the sun with his brightness

Wouldnt let her catch the sights

The girl still eager

And curious to see the world around her

Again opened her eyes

But her vision was blurred

Still she did not lose hope

Which flowed through her blood

Encouraging and pushing her

To see the world further

Her heart beating fast

Her enthusiasm increasing

She slowly tried to see

With her eyes continuously blinking

Starting to lose hope

She was ready to give up

But curiosity got the upper hand

And pushed her forward

With her hope again rising

and strength in her eyesight

She is finally seeing the world

With wide open eyes

Conquering the space

-Marisha Nath VIII-C

ldquoThere is no failure in Science it is only continual

effort to conquer the unknown On the way even if we

face failure it rather adds more value to our effort for

our next journey to know the unknownrdquo

Chandrayan-2 Indiarsquos Moon Mission The dream of

entire India to land on moon and become the 4th Na-

tion in the world to put its flag on the soil of moon

after USSR USA amp China

ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launched

Chandrayan-2 on 22nd July 2019 from Bengaluru

(Satish Dhawan Space Center) under the command of

ISRO chief K Shivan It consists of ORBITER

LANDER amp Lunar Rover PRAGYAN Like Chandra-

yan-1(22nd Oct2008) it was Indiarsquos indigenous moon

mission

It touched the Moon Surface on Saturday early morn-

ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-

ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-

ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of

moon it lost contact with the ground station Because

of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be

monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m

(approx) away from its assigned location near

SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still

orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange

signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it

The ORBITER which will remain active for another

12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-

owed portion of the moon for the first time in history

with the help of its high-resolution camera

The entire Nation irrespective of their field of

knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front

of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of

VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true

Indians who always dream progress and development

of their motherland But our heart never accepts this

as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement

for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-

pose of our mission

But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at

this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring

country quoting this as a big failure on part of India

blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos

money on this

Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will

be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to

this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other

nations on such missions

Further I should say that India is not new in the field

of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-

TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975

It was named after famous scientist of ancient India

ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested

for the first time the HELIOCENTRIC THEORY

(Sun at the center and all planets revolve around the

Sun) of the Solar System much earlier than ready for

New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 57

COPERNICUS as believed in the western world

Other countries might have moon on their flags but

we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is

great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are

whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-

rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is

only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the

unknown and its continual application for the benefit

of the mankind)rdquo

Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by

various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-

PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-

cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958

onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as

46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was

attempted out of which only 21 was successful

Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-

tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the

overall attempts conducted by other Nations

USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-

NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was

planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January

SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR

successfully on moon

NASA after many attempts was successful to send

first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th

July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk

on moon

Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-

clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-

SION MANGAL for our next moon mission

Monsoon -Isha Bhanushali VIII

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 youWell 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 600 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

I after a while made up my

mind I will set out and go on

my ownI 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 its

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 Moms scolding

Yes because I had stepped inside a big puddle

Soldier - Marisha Nath VIII-C

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

Sati widows shravana shraddha managala gaur

akshaya tritiya child marriage karva chauthhellip

etcetera etcetera etceteraWhat do these words re-

mind you of Yep Thatrsquos right These are all systems

for women

These are sacrifices and systems that women perform

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 processMen work approximately 6 ndash 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 donrsquot

To all the men and boys reading this I have a few

questions for youDo 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 ndash 21

bones at once Did men know this And yet they con-

sider women weak They think that because wersquore

women we cannot thinkIf we cannot think who is

Marie Curie If we are weak who delivers kids

Women arenrsquot any different They are children of

gods They arenrsquot your personal secretaries they are

your partnersOnly 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

ishellipabsolutely nothing

Is this right

Submission to Peer Pressure -Akshat Mishra IX -G

ldquoHey Mohan When did you get this new iPhone-Xrdquo

we asked him in surprise as we knew the financial

condition of his family ldquoMy cousin gifted it to merdquo

quipped Mohan sheepishly All the boys resumed

playing but I knew there was something amissPeer

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

someonersquos 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

arenrsquot 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 arenrsquot 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

ldquoFreedom of Press in Democracyrdquo

- 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

about news from vari-

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

Even if the media subsequently correct a statement the

damage done may be irreparable Hence the media should

take care to carefully investigate any news item before

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

New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 22

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 priceAlso 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

democracySome newspapers espouse the cause of

only one community

ldquoThey do not judge problems on their merits They

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 worldrsquos 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

We all know the present condition of our environment

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 Its 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 beauti-

ful earth and so itrsquos 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 trsquos

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 rdquoEveryone

has a good and a bad side in his life What matters is

the part we choose to act upon rdquoThis is an excellent

thought said by Sirius Black in the movie Harry Pot-

ter Itrsquos 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 donrsquot 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

- Heet Shripal Kankariya VII-G

It is hard to recall the past

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

Dont lose ittry and endeavor

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

With all the night strength and gust

Preserving nature is must

Mother Nature has been so lucrative

Letrsquos do something to save her

Something new and creativersquo

Let us get pollution under control

Before mother Earth weeps and implores

Let clean air sweep

Both high and deep

Let the tiny piece of land

Be clean tidy and neat

Let uncontaminated water be

So that everything doesnrsquot

end like the sea

Let the tree stand

lsquoCause it is more alluring than the seven colour band

Without being loquacious

Mother nature is indeed precious

The Little girl

- Bhumika Sharma VI-F

I found in a garage

Near the carriage

A tiny little baby girl

She had cute blue eyes

Which were very small in size

And had beautiful hair with a cute little curl

I wonder why she was there

And she came fromhellipwhere

I then asked a person passing on the road

If he knew the merciless who

kept her near the horses and

toads

The person replied ldquoWho cares

O Madamhellip

hellipFor a girl who is denied by her

dad and mum

I felt very sad and cried

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 ndashD

It was rainy season

At home came a pigeon

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 didnrsquot fly away

Because I took care

Soon there were three small

eggs

Which were taken care of by the guest

The bird is easy to guess

Because it doesnrsquot make a mess

With its red tail

It looked a bit frail

Between the plants green full full

Was the nest of the little Bulbul

The Art of Dharma as per Mahabharata

- Abhishek Singh [Teacher SrSecondary]

Dharma means the Duty or RighteousnessDharma is

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)Its like the Ying and Yang

Duryodhanarsquos envy for the Pandvarsquos Indraprastha and

Yudhishthirarsquos 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

rivalrsquos possessions or eternal sickness to pull the rival

downThe envy and greed are both presents even in

the

modern day world the failure

of communism was caused by

envy among citizens while 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

Dharma is not justice Its difference between Retribu-

tive Justice and forgiveness While a nation with

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 wasnrsquot happy to see me happy

and I noticed a photograph in my phone which be-

mused me ndash not mentioning how frightened I had be-

come

The picture waswashow can I explain The back-

ground was of my house In the photoI was

sleeping Butbut 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 ndash the

noises from outside noises of something creaking and

the wind forcefully blowing through the thin slit of the

window eerily

I was panic-stricken I

quickly switched my

phone off and kept it on

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 lsquoIt is Tues-

day todayrsquo 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 couldnrsquot 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 doesnrsquot 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 wonrsquot 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

- Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D

She lived under a rock

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

From being the young shy girl they saw

But all this struggle slowly had her crumbling

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 lsquolifersquo as its spell

Being myself Irsquoll uplift

Life is too short

Donrsquot be someone else

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 educationWith 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

status of women bringing

them shoulder to shoulder

with men These particular

measures constitute a pro-

cess which is known as ldquoWomen Empowermentrdquo

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 lsquoEscape and start overrsquo

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

embryos is set up they would

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

Television Pros and Cons

- Soumya Sheth

What do most of the people do these days to entertain

themselvesEveryone 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

However like every good and popular inventions tel-

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 elseItrsquos

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 inven-

tion of science in

the right and bene-

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 donrsquot

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

The night before the final examination appears to all

examinees as the night before the Battle of Waterloo

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-

tion they would be

going about their

daily rounds They

may be found in the parks cafes and restaurants talk-

ing about tips ndashtalking 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 ndashconscious 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

-Prajna VIII-D

Elegant you be for the universe to learn your versatility

Brighter you shine the orb will know your sustenance

Apparently it seems your flawless abundance

The ideal triumph mustnrsquot be exaggerated

How can you be silent if you donrsquot know your efficiency

Colourful wrapper shiny and bright

Which one to choose which would be right

And out stood there a chocolate car

And could hear the doorrsquos 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 ldquoHello My friendrdquo but the elephant replied rude-

ly saying ldquoYou tiny

ant Get off my way

otherwise yoursquoll get

crushed to deathrdquo

Hearing this ant

challenged the elephant sayingrdquo My big friend I can

make you cryrdquo The ant quickly climbed onto the trunk

of the elephant and ran towards its earit 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

ldquoPlease come out of my ear I canrsquot bear the painrdquo As

soon as the ant came out the elephant apologized for

its mistake and didnrsquot tease any animals from that day

Grandparents

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

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

Water is the force behind all the industry agriculture

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

without water No

water no life

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 -Aditys Patil VIII-E

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 askedwhere are

the schools There are no schools here Mother said

dont 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

The Day Irsquoll Never Forget - Saranya Sarangi VII -

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 hadnrsquot the thee

Perished laid the martyrs

Whom our motherland gave birth

I still remember that scaring sight

The scattered limbs I couldnrsquot see

My heart got filled with grief and fright

No Indian could glee

Terribly writhing the soldiers were seen

Some families languished and some

were crying

So loyal to their country they had been

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

I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom

O human Then why do you steal my FREEDOM

Binding me alone in the cage makes me sad

Donrsquot you know caging a bird is bad

Looking at the sky

I wish I could fly

I never disturb you

I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom

O human Then why do you steal my

Summers in India - Saranya Sarangi VIII

A hot season beginning from April till May is what we

call summer And thatrsquos the basic rule in India But

thatrsquos 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 donrsquot 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-

dents can join different aca-

demic and co-curricular

courses to improve them-

selves Many children even spend time with their fami-

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 lsquoSummers in Indiarsquo

Exams are good or bad

- Nupoor Teli VIIIndashI

In my humble opinionexams are apressure on the stu-

dents They are forced to study and score good

markswhich 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 studybut 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

-daysthe main reason for studying is gaining marks If

there are no marksno career andno success This is the

mindset of 70 people of the worldespecially 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-

verthere are projectssubject-enrichment activi-

tieschapter test sfter every topicnotebookfile submis

sion etcAnd as acherry on top

of the cakewe have the semes-

ter exams of eighty marks as

well What all will the students

do And even if any extra-

curricular activities are being learntthen more extra

studies Just studystudy 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 notThey shouldnt be pressurized for

their marksbut 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 dont pressurize

students for what they dont likeand encourage them in

what they do After allthey 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

Never accept less than best

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 magicalhellip

Life is so magicalhellip

Humility -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D

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 personrsquos 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 personrsquos 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

canrsquot 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 yoursquore not strong enough to

stand up for yourself They think you surrender in-

stead of protesting They will despise and scorn you

but they donrsquot know that you take pleasure in what

you do because they havenrsquot experienced that kind of

joy

So if you do have humility donrsquot 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

Mom -Tanvi Sawant VII-C

Oh mom I came to this beautiful world just because

of youhellip

Mom what would I do without you

Oh mom there are thorns on the way

But you manage to get me awayhellip

Oh mom I canrsquot say how much yoursquore to me

Mom just promise me that yoursquoll and

always be with mehellip

Oh mom this world is incomplete

without you

Just like the sky without itrsquos bright color bluehellip

Oh mom yoursquore the candle that showed the way in the

dark

My dear mom you made my life spark

I am the EARTH - Deepashikha P VII F

Hello I am the Earth

For me I am the sweetest heart

I provide you with lots of stuff

With food and the mangoes that you love

I give you water soil and Sun

I am special as I am just one

But the humans living on me

Are making me dirty

They are cutting all the trees

And killing all the species helliphellip

They filling me with smoke and death

They are killing themselves

with lack of breath

I am the Earth

I am your mother

Make me the best by pol-

luting me less and less

And preventing my green dress

You can save water

you plant a tree

Make a better home for you on me

Recycle things donrsquot throw them awayhellip

OUR FUTURE EARTH - Hiya Purswani VIII-B

We all know the present condition of our environment

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 Its 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 its 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 Itrsquos 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

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 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 Itrsquos 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 donʼt

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 quoterdquo 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

And wait the unfailing gray

Oh Sad are winter nights and slow

And sad is a song thatrsquos dumb

And sad it is to lie I know

Another dawn will come

Floods and Destruction

- Nirvi Soni IV-H

India faces occurrence of floods each year in some

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

Good Morning Everyone -Vyomi ThakkarVI - H

Come with me wersquoll have some fun

Wersquoll go on a walk

Donrsquot worry will have a great talk

Roaming around the ground

With beautiful birdrsquos sound

We donrsquot know if anything will be found

Wersquoll 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

-Shravya Atreya IX-D

Think before you speak

There are hearts you must please

Think before you speak

You canrsquot undo the harm done after you squeak

Think before you speak

You might have done greater harm than you might

think

Think before you speak

There are still places left for you

to seek

Think before you speak

There is a long way to go before

you sleep

Think before you speak

There are hearts you must

please

Sunrise -Anuradha Singh VII-H

Over the glimmering purple sea

Everything is fine

GLOBAL WARMING - Adhyant Singh VII-F

Global warming refers to the steady rise in the Earthrsquos mean temperature The effect of global

warming had come into sight when polar ice caps started melting this phenomena is called ICE ndash

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 400000000000 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 Earthrsquos surface thus increasing the temperature and also

destroying the ozone layer which prevents the ultraviolet rays of the sun from reaching the earthrsquos 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 (CFCrsquoS) 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

earthrsquos doomsday we all must work together

Itrsquos not too late there is still timehellipBefore the earth ends and we whinehellipSo keep on marching and planting

greens To end Global Warming and Make our planet greenhellip

What will happen without Instagram

I was hearing it from everyone

I asked who was the inventor

Nobody knew the answer to my question

Mobiles Mobiles Mobiles

Again nobody was aware

I wondered why was it like so

Why is it they donrsquot know

There was one time we were

engrossed in books

Now we care more about our looks

Instagram wonrsquot give you a job

You will have to study and top

Your fellow followers wonrsquot help either

If you donrsquot have a job no one will bother

I give you wood

I need some sunlight

And some fresh air

The Night - Matangi Rajesh VII-D

Its the night

The moon is white

When we switch off the light

What a beautiful sight

After this comes the sun bright

There is no more artificial light

This is the time to start your diet

To go for a run wearing tights

Then comes the evening when

you have snacks light

And fly a big colorful kite

or include your sibling in a pillow fight

Again comes the night

A moon which is white

We switch off the light

A beautiful sight

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

Indiarsquos 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 ldquoharness space technology ldquofor 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 ISROrsquos Fat Boyrsquo

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

Indiarsquos 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 didnt 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 Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane

with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing

speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt 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-

perloops 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 itThe first Hyperloop ndash 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

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

wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-

ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities

chapter test after every topic notebookfile 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

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 lifeI fell that exams

should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate

whether the students are clear with the concepts or

not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but

should be made understand their mistakes Let them

choose their own career options on their own Help

them know what they like to study and what they want

to do in their life So dont pressurize students for

what they dont like and encourage them in what they

do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the

country

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B

Life is all about interactions You meet people and

you interact You observe them consciously or sub-

consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us

more than we even realise Some people leave a last-

ing impression on us and entirely change the course of

life for better or for worse Some people influence us

help us go further and make all the difference

I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-

tial people They have taken care of me ever since I

came into this world They are the ones who wish the

best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-

cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel

no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-

come a part of my personality They are the ones who

helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me

to be better

When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are

the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-

takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique

learning experience It has made me realise how eve-

rything they do has a reason They are the ones who

have taught me the importance of the little things in

life They are the ones who have helped me recognize

and follow my passion The very thought of them not

being a part of my life is scary to the least as without

them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am

today and whatever I have achieved is all because of

them and I am very grateful of that

Eyesight

-Aditi Shenoy VIII-F

The tired little girl went to bed

Recollecting the days bygone

Seeing them in her dreams

As the day she was born

Trying to see the world

With her little eyes

But the sun with his brightness

Wouldnt let her catch the sights

The girl still eager

And curious to see the world around her

Again opened her eyes

But her vision was blurred

Still she did not lose hope

Which flowed through her blood

Encouraging and pushing her

To see the world further

Her heart beating fast

Her enthusiasm increasing

She slowly tried to see

With her eyes continuously blinking

Starting to lose hope

She was ready to give up

But curiosity got the upper hand

And pushed her forward

With her hope again rising

and strength in her eyesight

She is finally seeing the world

With wide open eyes

Conquering the space

Chandrayan-2 Indiarsquos Moon Mission The dream of

entire India to land on moon and become the 4th Na-

tion in the world to put its flag on the soil of moon

after USSR USA amp China

ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launched

Chandrayan-2 on 22nd July 2019 from Bengaluru

(Satish Dhawan Space Center) under the command of

ISRO chief K Shivan It consists of ORBITER

LANDER amp Lunar Rover PRAGYAN Like Chandra-

yan-1(22nd Oct2008) it was Indiarsquos indigenous moon

mission

It touched the Moon Surface on Saturday early morn-

ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-

ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-

ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of

moon it lost contact with the ground station Because

of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be

monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m

(approx) away from its assigned location near

SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still

orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange

signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it

The ORBITER which will remain active for another

12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-

owed portion of the moon for the first time in history

with the help of its high-resolution camera

The entire Nation irrespective of their field of

knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front

of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of

VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true

Indians who always dream progress and development

of their motherland But our heart never accepts this

as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement

for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-

pose of our mission

But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at

this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring

country quoting this as a big failure on part of India

blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos

money on this

Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will

be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to

this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other

nations on such missions

Further I should say that India is not new in the field

of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-

TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975

It was named after famous scientist of ancient India

ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested

for the first time the HELIOCENTRIC THEORY

(Sun at the center and all planets revolve around the

Sun) of the Solar System much earlier than ready for

New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 57

COPERNICUS as believed in the western world

Other countries might have moon on their flags but

we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is

great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are

whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-

rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is

only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the

unknown and its continual application for the benefit

of the mankind)rdquo

Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by

various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-

PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-

cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958

onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as

46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was

attempted out of which only 21 was successful

Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-

tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the

overall attempts conducted by other Nations

USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-

NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was

planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January

SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR

successfully on moon

NASA after many attempts was successful to send

first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th

July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk

on moon

Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-

clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-

SION MANGAL for our next moon mission

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

Sati widows shravana shraddha managala gaur

akshaya tritiya child marriage karva chauthhellip

etcetera etcetera etceteraWhat do these words re-

mind you of Yep Thatrsquos right These are all systems

for women

These are sacrifices and systems that women perform

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 processMen work approximately 6 ndash 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 donrsquot

To all the men and boys reading this I have a few

questions for youDo 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 ndash 21

bones at once Did men know this And yet they con-

sider women weak They think that because wersquore

women we cannot thinkIf we cannot think who is

Marie Curie If we are weak who delivers kids

Women arenrsquot any different They are children of

gods They arenrsquot your personal secretaries they are

your partnersOnly 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

ishellipabsolutely nothing

Is this right

quipped Mohan sheepishly All the boys resumed

playing but I knew there was something amissPeer

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

someonersquos 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

arenrsquot 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 arenrsquot 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

ldquoFreedom of Press in Democracyrdquo

- 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

about news from vari-

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

Even if the media subsequently correct a statement the

damage done may be irreparable Hence the media should

take care to carefully investigate any news item before

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

New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 22

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 priceAlso 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

democracySome newspapers espouse the cause of

only one community

ldquoThey do not judge problems on their merits They

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 worldrsquos 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

We all know the present condition of our environment

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 Its 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 beauti-

ful earth and so itrsquos 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 trsquos

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 rdquoEveryone

has a good and a bad side in his life What matters is

the part we choose to act upon rdquoThis is an excellent

thought said by Sirius Black in the movie Harry Pot-

ter Itrsquos 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 donrsquot 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

- Heet Shripal Kankariya VII-G

It is hard to recall the past

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

Dont lose ittry and endeavor

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

With all the night strength and gust

Preserving nature is must

Mother Nature has been so lucrative

Letrsquos do something to save her

Something new and creativersquo

Let us get pollution under control

Before mother Earth weeps and implores

Let clean air sweep

Both high and deep

Let the tiny piece of land

Be clean tidy and neat

Let uncontaminated water be

So that everything doesnrsquot

end like the sea

Let the tree stand

lsquoCause it is more alluring than the seven colour band

Without being loquacious

Mother nature is indeed precious

The Little girl

- Bhumika Sharma VI-F

I found in a garage

Near the carriage

A tiny little baby girl

She had cute blue eyes

Which were very small in size

And had beautiful hair with a cute little curl

I wonder why she was there

And she came fromhellipwhere

I then asked a person passing on the road

If he knew the merciless who

kept her near the horses and

toads

The person replied ldquoWho cares

O Madamhellip

hellipFor a girl who is denied by her

dad and mum

I felt very sad and cried

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 ndashD

It was rainy season

At home came a pigeon

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 didnrsquot fly away

Because I took care

Soon there were three small

eggs

Which were taken care of by the guest

The bird is easy to guess

Because it doesnrsquot make a mess

With its red tail

It looked a bit frail

Between the plants green full full

Was the nest of the little Bulbul

The Art of Dharma as per Mahabharata

- Abhishek Singh [Teacher SrSecondary]

Dharma means the Duty or RighteousnessDharma is

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)Its like the Ying and Yang

Duryodhanarsquos envy for the Pandvarsquos Indraprastha and

Yudhishthirarsquos 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

rivalrsquos possessions or eternal sickness to pull the rival

downThe envy and greed are both presents even in

the

modern day world the failure

of communism was caused by

envy among citizens while 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

Dharma is not justice Its difference between Retribu-

tive Justice and forgiveness While a nation with

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 wasnrsquot happy to see me happy

and I noticed a photograph in my phone which be-

mused me ndash not mentioning how frightened I had be-

come

The picture waswashow can I explain The back-

ground was of my house In the photoI was

sleeping Butbut 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 ndash the

noises from outside noises of something creaking and

the wind forcefully blowing through the thin slit of the

window eerily

I was panic-stricken I

quickly switched my

phone off and kept it on

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 lsquoIt is Tues-

day todayrsquo 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 couldnrsquot 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 doesnrsquot 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 wonrsquot 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

- Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D

She lived under a rock

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

From being the young shy girl they saw

But all this struggle slowly had her crumbling

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 lsquolifersquo as its spell

Being myself Irsquoll uplift

Life is too short

Donrsquot be someone else

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 educationWith 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

status of women bringing

them shoulder to shoulder

with men These particular

measures constitute a pro-

cess which is known as ldquoWomen Empowermentrdquo

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 lsquoEscape and start overrsquo

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

embryos is set up they would

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

Television Pros and Cons

- Soumya Sheth

What do most of the people do these days to entertain

themselvesEveryone 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

However like every good and popular inventions tel-

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 elseItrsquos

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 inven-

tion of science in

the right and bene-

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 donrsquot

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

The night before the final examination appears to all

examinees as the night before the Battle of Waterloo

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-

tion they would be

going about their

daily rounds They

may be found in the parks cafes and restaurants talk-

ing about tips ndashtalking 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 ndashconscious 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

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 ldquoHello My friendrdquo but the elephant replied rude-

ly saying ldquoYou tiny

ant Get off my way

otherwise yoursquoll get

crushed to deathrdquo

Hearing this ant

challenged the elephant sayingrdquo My big friend I can

make you cryrdquo The ant quickly climbed onto the trunk

of the elephant and ran towards its earit 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

ldquoPlease come out of my ear I canrsquot bear the painrdquo As

soon as the ant came out the elephant apologized for

its mistake and didnrsquot tease any animals from that day

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

Water is the force behind all the industry agriculture

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

without water No

water no life

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 -Aditys Patil VIII-E

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 askedwhere are

the schools There are no schools here Mother said

dont 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

Perished laid the martyrs

Whom our motherland gave birth

I still remember that scaring sight

The scattered limbs I couldnrsquot see

My heart got filled with grief and fright

No Indian could glee

Terribly writhing the soldiers were seen

Some families languished and some

were crying

So loyal to their country they had been

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

I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom

O human Then why do you steal my FREEDOM

Binding me alone in the cage makes me sad

Donrsquot you know caging a bird is bad

Looking at the sky

I wish I could fly

I never disturb you

I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom

O human Then why do you steal my

FREEDOM

Summers in India - Saranya Sarangi VIII

A hot season beginning from April till May is what we

call summer And thatrsquos the basic rule in India But

thatrsquos 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 donrsquot 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-

dents can join different aca-

demic and co-curricular

courses to improve them-

selves Many children even spend time with their fami-

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 lsquoSummers in Indiarsquo

Exams are good or bad

- Nupoor Teli VIIIndashI

In my humble opinionexams are apressure on the stu-

dents They are forced to study and score good

markswhich 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 studybut 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

-daysthe main reason for studying is gaining marks If

there are no marksno career andno success This is the

mindset of 70 people of the worldespecially 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-

verthere are projectssubject-enrichment activi-

tieschapter test sfter every topicnotebookfile submis

sion etcAnd as acherry on top

of the cakewe have the semes-

ter exams of eighty marks as

well What all will the students

do And even if any extra-

curricular activities are being learntthen more extra

studies Just studystudy 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 notThey shouldnt be pressurized for

their marksbut 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 dont pressurize

students for what they dont likeand encourage them in

what they do After allthey 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

Never accept less than best

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 magicalhellip

Life is so magicalhellip

Humility -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D

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 personrsquos 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 personrsquos 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

canrsquot 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 yoursquore not strong enough to

stand up for yourself They think you surrender in-

stead of protesting They will despise and scorn you

but they donrsquot know that you take pleasure in what

you do because they havenrsquot experienced that kind of

joy

So if you do have humility donrsquot 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

Mom -Tanvi Sawant VII-C

Oh mom I came to this beautiful world just because

of youhellip

Mom what would I do without you

Oh mom there are thorns on the way

But you manage to get me awayhellip

Oh mom I canrsquot say how much yoursquore to me

Mom just promise me that yoursquoll and

always be with mehellip

Oh mom this world is incomplete

without you

Just like the sky without itrsquos bright color bluehellip

Oh mom yoursquore the candle that showed the way in the

dark

My dear mom you made my life spark

Make a better home for you on me

Recycle things donrsquot throw them awayhellip

OUR FUTURE EARTH - Hiya Purswani VIII-B

We all know the present condition of our environment

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 Its 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 its 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 Itrsquos 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

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 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 Itrsquos 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 donʼt

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 quoterdquo 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

And wait the unfailing gray

Oh Sad are winter nights and slow

And sad is a song thatrsquos dumb

And sad it is to lie I know

Another dawn will come

Floods and Destruction

- Nirvi Soni IV-H

India faces occurrence of floods each year in some

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

Good Morning Everyone -Vyomi ThakkarVI - H

Come with me wersquoll have some fun

Wersquoll go on a walk

Donrsquot worry will have a great talk

Roaming around the ground

With beautiful birdrsquos sound

We donrsquot know if anything will be found

Wersquoll 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

-Shravya Atreya IX-D

Think before you speak

There are hearts you must please

Think before you speak

You canrsquot undo the harm done after you squeak

Think before you speak

You might have done greater harm than you might

think

Think before you speak

There are still places left for you

to seek

Think before you speak

There is a long way to go before

you sleep

Think before you speak

There are hearts you must

please

Sunrise -Anuradha Singh VII-H

Everything is fine

GLOBAL WARMING - Adhyant Singh VII-F

Global warming refers to the steady rise in the Earthrsquos mean temperature The effect of global

warming had come into sight when polar ice caps started melting this phenomena is called ICE ndash

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 400000000000 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 Earthrsquos surface thus increasing the temperature and also

destroying the ozone layer which prevents the ultraviolet rays of the sun from reaching the earthrsquos 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 (CFCrsquoS) 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

earthrsquos doomsday we all must work together

Itrsquos not too late there is still timehellipBefore the earth ends and we whinehellipSo keep on marching and planting

greens To end Global Warming and Make our planet greenhellip

What will happen without Instagram

The Night - Matangi Rajesh VII-D

Its the night

The moon is white

When we switch off the light

What a beautiful sight

After this comes the sun bright

There is no more artificial light

This is the time to start your diet

To go for a run wearing tights

Then comes the evening when

you have snacks light

And fly a big colorful kite

or include your sibling in a pillow fight

Again comes the night

A moon which is white

We switch off the light

A beautiful sight

INDIArsquoS 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

Indiarsquos 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 ldquoharness space technology ldquofor 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 ISROrsquos Fat Boyrsquo

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

Indiarsquos 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 didnt 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 Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane

with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing

speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt 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-

perloops 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 itThe first Hyperloop ndash 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

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

wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-

ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities

chapter test after every topic notebookfile 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

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 lifeI fell that exams

should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate

whether the students are clear with the concepts or

not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but

should be made understand their mistakes Let them

choose their own career options on their own Help

them know what they like to study and what they want

to do in their life So dont pressurize students for

what they dont like and encourage them in what they

do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the

country

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B

Life is all about interactions You meet people and

you interact You observe them consciously or sub-

consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us

more than we even realise Some people leave a last-

ing impression on us and entirely change the course of

life for better or for worse Some people influence us

help us go further and make all the difference

I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-

tial people They have taken care of me ever since I

came into this world They are the ones who wish the

best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-

cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel

no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-

come a part of my personality They are the ones who

helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me

to be better

When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are

the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-

takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique

learning experience It has made me realise how eve-

rything they do has a reason They are the ones who

have taught me the importance of the little things in

life They are the ones who have helped me recognize

and follow my passion The very thought of them not

being a part of my life is scary to the least as without

them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am

today and whatever I have achieved is all because of

them and I am very grateful of that

Eyesight

-Aditi Shenoy VIII-F

The tired little girl went to bed

Recollecting the days bygone

Seeing them in her dreams

As the day she was born

Trying to see the world

With her little eyes

But the sun with his brightness

Wouldnt let her catch the sights

The girl still eager

And curious to see the world around her

Again opened her eyes

But her vision was blurred

Still she did not lose hope

Which flowed through her blood

Encouraging and pushing her

To see the world further

Her heart beating fast

Her enthusiasm increasing

She slowly tried to see

With her eyes continuously blinking

Starting to lose hope

She was ready to give up

But curiosity got the upper hand

And pushed her forward

With her hope again rising

and strength in her eyesight

She is finally seeing the world

With wide open eyes

Conquering the space

ldquoThere is no failure in Science it is only continual

effort to conquer the unknown On the way even if we

face failure it rather adds more value to our effort for

our next journey to know the unknownrdquo

Chandrayan-2 Indiarsquos Moon Mission The dream of

entire India to land on moon and become the 4th Na-

tion in the world to put its flag on the soil of moon

after USSR USA amp China

ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launched

Chandrayan-2 on 22nd July 2019 from Bengaluru

(Satish Dhawan Space Center) under the command of

ISRO chief K Shivan It consists of ORBITER

LANDER amp Lunar Rover PRAGYAN Like Chandra-

yan-1(22nd Oct2008) it was Indiarsquos indigenous moon

mission

It touched the Moon Surface on Saturday early morn-

ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-

ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-

ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of

moon it lost contact with the ground station Because

of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be

monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m

(approx) away from its assigned location near

SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still

orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange

signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it

The ORBITER which will remain active for another

12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-

owed portion of the moon for the first time in history

with the help of its high-resolution camera

The entire Nation irrespective of their field of

knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front

of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of

VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true

Indians who always dream progress and development

of their motherland But our heart never accepts this

as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement

for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-

pose of our mission

But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at

this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring

country quoting this as a big failure on part of India

blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos

money on this

Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will

be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to

this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other

nations on such missions

Further I should say that India is not new in the field

of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-

TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975

It was named after famous scientist of ancient India

ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested

for the first time the HELIOCENTRIC THEORY

(Sun at the center and all planets revolve around the

Sun) of the Solar System much earlier than ready for

New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 57

COPERNICUS as believed in the western world

Other countries might have moon on their flags but

we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is

great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are

whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-

rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is

only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the

unknown and its continual application for the benefit

of the mankind)rdquo

Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by

various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-

PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-

cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958

onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as

46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was

attempted out of which only 21 was successful

Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-

tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the

overall attempts conducted by other Nations

USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-

NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was

planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January

SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR

successfully on moon

NASA after many attempts was successful to send

first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th

July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk

on moon

Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-

clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-

SION MANGAL for our next moon mission

ldquoFreedom of Press in Democracyrdquo

- 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

about news from vari-

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

Even if the media subsequently correct a statement the

damage done may be irreparable Hence the media should

take care to carefully investigate any news item before

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

New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 22

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 priceAlso 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

democracySome newspapers espouse the cause of

only one community

ldquoThey do not judge problems on their merits They

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 worldrsquos 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

We all know the present condition of our environment

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 Its 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 beauti-

ful earth and so itrsquos 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 trsquos

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 rdquoEveryone

has a good and a bad side in his life What matters is

the part we choose to act upon rdquoThis is an excellent

thought said by Sirius Black in the movie Harry Pot-

ter Itrsquos 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 donrsquot 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

- Heet Shripal Kankariya VII-G

It is hard to recall the past

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

Dont lose ittry and endeavor

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

With all the night strength and gust

Preserving nature is must

Mother Nature has been so lucrative

Letrsquos do something to save her

Something new and creativersquo

Let us get pollution under control

Before mother Earth weeps and implores

Let clean air sweep

Both high and deep

Let the tiny piece of land

Be clean tidy and neat

Let uncontaminated water be

So that everything doesnrsquot

end like the sea

Let the tree stand

lsquoCause it is more alluring than the seven colour band

Without being loquacious

Mother nature is indeed precious

The Little girl

- Bhumika Sharma VI-F

I found in a garage

Near the carriage

A tiny little baby girl

She had cute blue eyes

Which were very small in size

And had beautiful hair with a cute little curl

I wonder why she was there

And she came fromhellipwhere

I then asked a person passing on the road

If he knew the merciless who

kept her near the horses and

toads

The person replied ldquoWho cares

O Madamhellip

hellipFor a girl who is denied by her

dad and mum

I felt very sad and cried

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 ndashD

It was rainy season

At home came a pigeon

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 didnrsquot fly away

Because I took care

Soon there were three small

eggs

Which were taken care of by the guest

The bird is easy to guess

Because it doesnrsquot make a mess

With its red tail

It looked a bit frail

Between the plants green full full

Was the nest of the little Bulbul

The Art of Dharma as per Mahabharata

- Abhishek Singh [Teacher SrSecondary]

Dharma means the Duty or RighteousnessDharma is

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)Its like the Ying and Yang

Duryodhanarsquos envy for the Pandvarsquos Indraprastha and

Yudhishthirarsquos 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

rivalrsquos possessions or eternal sickness to pull the rival

downThe envy and greed are both presents even in

the

modern day world the failure

of communism was caused by

envy among citizens while 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

Dharma is not justice Its difference between Retribu-

tive Justice and forgiveness While a nation with

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 wasnrsquot happy to see me happy

and I noticed a photograph in my phone which be-

mused me ndash not mentioning how frightened I had be-

come

The picture waswashow can I explain The back-

ground was of my house In the photoI was

sleeping Butbut 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 ndash the

noises from outside noises of something creaking and

the wind forcefully blowing through the thin slit of the

window eerily

I was panic-stricken I

quickly switched my

phone off and kept it on

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 lsquoIt is Tues-

day todayrsquo 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 couldnrsquot 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 doesnrsquot 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 wonrsquot 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

- Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D

She lived under a rock

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

From being the young shy girl they saw

But all this struggle slowly had her crumbling

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 lsquolifersquo as its spell

Being myself Irsquoll uplift

Life is too short

Donrsquot be someone else

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 educationWith 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

status of women bringing

them shoulder to shoulder

with men These particular

measures constitute a pro-

cess which is known as ldquoWomen Empowermentrdquo

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 lsquoEscape and start overrsquo

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

embryos is set up they would

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

Television Pros and Cons

- Soumya Sheth

What do most of the people do these days to entertain

themselvesEveryone 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

However like every good and popular inventions tel-

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 elseItrsquos

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 inven-

tion of science in

the right and bene-

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 donrsquot

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

The night before the final examination appears to all

examinees as the night before the Battle of Waterloo

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-

tion they would be

going about their

daily rounds They

may be found in the parks cafes and restaurants talk-

ing about tips ndashtalking 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 ndashconscious 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

-Prajna VIII-D

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 mustnrsquot be exaggerated

Elegant you be for the universe to learn your versatility

How can you be silent if you donrsquot know your efficiency

One of the values to become successful is simplicity

Through elegance letrsquos spread positivist

And out stood there a chocolate car

Soon after it was 6 oclock

And could hear the doorrsquos 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 ldquoHello My friendrdquo but the elephant replied rude-

ly saying ldquoYou tiny

ant Get off my way

otherwise yoursquoll get

crushed to deathrdquo

Hearing this ant

challenged the elephant sayingrdquo My big friend I can

make you cryrdquo The ant quickly climbed onto the trunk

of the elephant and ran towards its earit 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

ldquoPlease come out of my ear I canrsquot bear the painrdquo As

soon as the ant came out the elephant apologized for

its mistake and didnrsquot tease any animals from that day

Grandparents

-Aditya Patil VIII-E

The best place in vacation

A heaven like destination

Their love for us is endless

All their sacrifices are worthless

Great is their surrounding divinity

To your grandparents never be rude

Because they are your

coolest dude

They yell at our parents

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

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

Water is the force behind all the industry agriculture

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

without water No

water no life

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 -Aditys Patil VIII-E

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 askedwhere are

the schools There are no schools here Mother said

dont 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

The Day Irsquoll Never Forget - Saranya Sarangi VII -

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 hadnrsquot the thee

Perished laid the martyrs

Whom our motherland gave birth

I still remember that scaring sight

The scattered limbs I couldnrsquot see

My heart got filled with grief and fright

No Indian could glee

Terribly writhing the soldiers were seen

Some families languished and some

were crying

So loyal to their country they had been

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

I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom

O human Then why do you steal my FREEDOM

Binding me alone in the cage makes me sad

Donrsquot you know caging a bird is bad

Looking at the sky

Summers in India - Saranya Sarangi VIII

A hot season beginning from April till May is what we

call summer And thatrsquos the basic rule in India But

thatrsquos 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 donrsquot 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-

dents can join different aca-

demic and co-curricular

courses to improve them-

selves Many children even spend time with their fami-

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 lsquoSummers in Indiarsquo

Exams are good or bad

- Nupoor Teli VIIIndashI

In my humble opinionexams are apressure on the stu-

dents They are forced to study and score good

markswhich 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 studybut 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

-daysthe main reason for studying is gaining marks If

there are no marksno career andno success This is the

mindset of 70 people of the worldespecially 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-

verthere are projectssubject-enrichment activi-

tieschapter test sfter every topicnotebookfile submis

sion etcAnd as acherry on top

of the cakewe have the semes-

ter exams of eighty marks as

well What all will the students

do And even if any extra-

curricular activities are being learntthen more extra

studies Just studystudy 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 notThey shouldnt be pressurized for

their marksbut 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 dont pressurize

students for what they dont likeand encourage them in

what they do After allthey 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

Never accept less than best

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 magicalhellip

Life is so magicalhellip

Humility -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D

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 personrsquos 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 personrsquos 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

canrsquot 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 yoursquore not strong enough to

stand up for yourself They think you surrender in-

stead of protesting They will despise and scorn you

but they donrsquot know that you take pleasure in what

you do because they havenrsquot experienced that kind of

joy

So if you do have humility donrsquot 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

Mom -Tanvi Sawant VII-C

Oh mom I came to this beautiful world just because

of youhellip

Mom what would I do without you

Oh mom there are thorns on the way

But you manage to get me awayhellip

Oh mom I canrsquot say how much yoursquore to me

Mom just promise me that yoursquoll and

always be with mehellip

Oh mom this world is incomplete

without you

Just like the sky without itrsquos bright color bluehellip

Oh mom yoursquore the candle that showed the way in the

dark

My dear mom you made my life spark

Make a better home for you on me

Recycle things donrsquot throw them awayhellip

OUR FUTURE EARTH - Hiya Purswani VIII-B

We all know the present condition of our environment

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 Its 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 its 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 Itrsquos 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

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 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 Itrsquos 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 donʼt

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 quoterdquo 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

And wait the unfailing gray

Oh Sad are winter nights and slow

And sad is a song thatrsquos dumb

And sad it is to lie I know

Another dawn will come

Floods and Destruction

- Nirvi Soni IV-H

India faces occurrence of floods each year in some

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

Good Morning Everyone -Vyomi ThakkarVI - H

Come with me wersquoll have some fun

Wersquoll go on a walk

Donrsquot worry will have a great talk

Roaming around the ground

With beautiful birdrsquos sound

We donrsquot know if anything will be found

Wersquoll 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

-Shravya Atreya IX-D

Think before you speak

There are hearts you must please

Think before you speak

You canrsquot undo the harm done after you squeak

Think before you speak

You might have done greater harm than you might

think

Think before you speak

There are still places left for you

to seek

Think before you speak

There is a long way to go before

you sleep

Think before you speak

There are hearts you must

please

Sunrise -Anuradha Singh VII-H

Over the glimmering purple sea

Everything is fine

With fading stars and rising light

GLOBAL WARMING - Adhyant Singh VII-F

Global warming refers to the steady rise in the Earthrsquos mean temperature The effect of global

warming had come into sight when polar ice caps started melting this phenomena is called ICE ndash

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 400000000000 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 Earthrsquos surface thus increasing the temperature and also

destroying the ozone layer which prevents the ultraviolet rays of the sun from reaching the earthrsquos 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 (CFCrsquoS) 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

earthrsquos doomsday we all must work together

Itrsquos not too late there is still timehellipBefore the earth ends and we whinehellipSo keep on marching and planting

greens To end Global Warming and Make our planet greenhellip

What will happen without Instagram

I was hearing it from everyone

I asked who was the inventor

Nobody knew the answer to my question

Mobiles Mobiles Mobiles

I wondered why was it like so

Why is it they donrsquot know

There was one time we were

engrossed in books

Now we care more about our looks

Instagram wonrsquot give you a job

You will have to study and top

Your fellow followers wonrsquot help either

If you donrsquot have a job no one will bother

The Night - Matangi Rajesh VII-D

Its the night

The moon is white

When we switch off the light

What a beautiful sight

After this comes the sun bright

There is no more artificial light

This is the time to start your diet

To go for a run wearing tights

Then comes the evening when

you have snacks light

And fly a big colorful kite

or include your sibling in a pillow fight

Again comes the night

A moon which is white

We switch off the light

A beautiful sight

heavy duty rockets designs and fabricates some of the most sophisticated satellites In a singular achievement

Indiarsquos 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 ldquoharness space technology ldquofor 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 ISROrsquos Fat Boyrsquo

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

Indiarsquos 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 didnt 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 Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane

with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing

speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt 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-

perloops 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 itThe first Hyperloop ndash 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

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

wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-

ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities

chapter test after every topic notebookfile 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

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 lifeI fell that exams

should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate

whether the students are clear with the concepts or

not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but

should be made understand their mistakes Let them

choose their own career options on their own Help

them know what they like to study and what they want

to do in their life So dont pressurize students for

what they dont like and encourage them in what they

do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the

country

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B

Life is all about interactions You meet people and

you interact You observe them consciously or sub-

consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us

more than we even realise Some people leave a last-

ing impression on us and entirely change the course of

life for better or for worse Some people influence us

help us go further and make all the difference

I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-

tial people They have taken care of me ever since I

came into this world They are the ones who wish the

best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-

cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel

no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-

come a part of my personality They are the ones who

helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me

to be better

When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are

the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-

takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique

learning experience It has made me realise how eve-

rything they do has a reason They are the ones who

have taught me the importance of the little things in

life They are the ones who have helped me recognize

and follow my passion The very thought of them not

being a part of my life is scary to the least as without

them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am

today and whatever I have achieved is all because of

them and I am very grateful of that

Eyesight

-Aditi Shenoy VIII-F

The tired little girl went to bed

Recollecting the days bygone

Seeing them in her dreams

As the day she was born

Trying to see the world

With her little eyes

But the sun with his brightness

Wouldnt let her catch the sights

The girl still eager

And curious to see the world around her

Again opened her eyes

But her vision was blurred

Still she did not lose hope

Which flowed through her blood

Encouraging and pushing her

To see the world further

Her heart beating fast

Her enthusiasm increasing

She slowly tried to see

With her eyes continuously blinking

Starting to lose hope

She was ready to give up

But curiosity got the upper hand

And pushed her forward

With her hope again rising

and strength in her eyesight

She is finally seeing the world

With wide open eyes

Conquering the space

Chandrayan-2 Indiarsquos Moon Mission The dream of

entire India to land on moon and become the 4th Na-

tion in the world to put its flag on the soil of moon

after USSR USA amp China

ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launched

Chandrayan-2 on 22nd July 2019 from Bengaluru

(Satish Dhawan Space Center) under the command of

ISRO chief K Shivan It consists of ORBITER

LANDER amp Lunar Rover PRAGYAN Like Chandra-

yan-1(22nd Oct2008) it was Indiarsquos indigenous moon

mission

It touched the Moon Surface on Saturday early morn-

ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-

ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-

ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of

moon it lost contact with the ground station Because

of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be

monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m

(approx) away from its assigned location near

SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still

orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange

signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it

The ORBITER which will remain active for another

12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-

owed portion of the moon for the first time in history

with the help of its high-resolution camera

The entire Nation irrespective of their field of

knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front

of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of

VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true

Indians who always dream progress and development

of their motherland But our heart never accepts this

as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement

for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-

pose of our mission

But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at

this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring

country quoting this as a big failure on part of India

blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos

money on this

Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will

be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to

this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other

nations on such missions

Further I should say that India is not new in the field

of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-

TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975

It was named after famous scientist of ancient India

ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested

for the first time the HELIOCENTRIC THEORY

(Sun at the center and all planets revolve around the

Sun) of the Solar System much earlier than ready for

New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 57

COPERNICUS as believed in the western world

Other countries might have moon on their flags but

we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is

great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are

whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-

rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is

only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the

unknown and its continual application for the benefit

of the mankind)rdquo

Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by

various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-

PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-

cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958

onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as

46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was

attempted out of which only 21 was successful

Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-

tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the

overall attempts conducted by other Nations

USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-

NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was

planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January

SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR

successfully on moon

NASA after many attempts was successful to send

first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th

July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk

on moon

Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-

clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-

SION MANGAL for our next moon mission

ldquoFreedom of Press in Democracyrdquo

- 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

about news from vari-

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

Even if the media subsequently correct a statement the

damage done may be irreparable Hence the media should

take care to carefully investigate any news item before

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

New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 22

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 priceAlso 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

democracySome newspapers espouse the cause of

only one community

ldquoThey do not judge problems on their merits They

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 worldrsquos 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

We all know the present condition of our environment

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 Its 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 beauti-

ful earth and so itrsquos 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 trsquos

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 rdquoEveryone

has a good and a bad side in his life What matters is

the part we choose to act upon rdquoThis is an excellent

thought said by Sirius Black in the movie Harry Pot-

ter Itrsquos 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 donrsquot 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

- Heet Shripal Kankariya VII-G

It is hard to recall the past

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

Dont lose ittry and endeavor

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

With all the night strength and gust

Preserving nature is must

Mother Nature has been so lucrative

Letrsquos do something to save her

Something new and creativersquo

Let us get pollution under control

Before mother Earth weeps and implores

Let clean air sweep

Both high and deep

Let the tiny piece of land

Be clean tidy and neat

Let uncontaminated water be

So that everything doesnrsquot

end like the sea

Let the tree stand

lsquoCause it is more alluring than the seven colour band

Without being loquacious

Mother nature is indeed precious

The Little girl

- Bhumika Sharma VI-F

I found in a garage

Near the carriage

A tiny little baby girl

She had cute blue eyes

Which were very small in size

And had beautiful hair with a cute little curl

I wonder why she was there

And she came fromhellipwhere

I then asked a person passing on the road

If he knew the merciless who

kept her near the horses and

toads

The person replied ldquoWho cares

O Madamhellip

hellipFor a girl who is denied by her

dad and mum

I felt very sad and cried

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 ndashD

It was rainy season

At home came a pigeon

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 didnrsquot fly away

Because I took care

Soon there were three small

eggs

Which were taken care of by the guest

The bird is easy to guess

Because it doesnrsquot make a mess

With its red tail

It looked a bit frail

Between the plants green full full

Was the nest of the little Bulbul

The Art of Dharma as per Mahabharata

- Abhishek Singh [Teacher SrSecondary]

Dharma means the Duty or RighteousnessDharma is

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)Its like the Ying and Yang

Duryodhanarsquos envy for the Pandvarsquos Indraprastha and

Yudhishthirarsquos 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

rivalrsquos possessions or eternal sickness to pull the rival

downThe envy and greed are both presents even in

the

modern day world the failure

of communism was caused by

envy among citizens while 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

Dharma is not justice Its difference between Retribu-

tive Justice and forgiveness While a nation with

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 wasnrsquot happy to see me happy

and I noticed a photograph in my phone which be-

mused me ndash not mentioning how frightened I had be-

come

The picture waswashow can I explain The back-

ground was of my house In the photoI was

sleeping Butbut 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 ndash the

noises from outside noises of something creaking and

the wind forcefully blowing through the thin slit of the

window eerily

I was panic-stricken I

quickly switched my

phone off and kept it on

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 lsquoIt is Tues-

day todayrsquo 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 couldnrsquot 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 doesnrsquot 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 wonrsquot 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

- Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D

She lived under a rock

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

From being the young shy girl they saw

But all this struggle slowly had her crumbling

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 lsquolifersquo as its spell

Being myself Irsquoll uplift

Life is too short

Donrsquot be someone else

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 educationWith 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

status of women bringing

them shoulder to shoulder

with men These particular

measures constitute a pro-

cess which is known as ldquoWomen Empowermentrdquo

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 lsquoEscape and start overrsquo

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

embryos is set up they would

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

Television Pros and Cons

- Soumya Sheth

What do most of the people do these days to entertain

themselvesEveryone 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

However like every good and popular inventions tel-

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 elseItrsquos

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 inven-

tion of science in

the right and bene-

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 donrsquot

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

The night before the final examination appears to all

examinees as the night before the Battle of Waterloo

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-

tion they would be

going about their

daily rounds They

may be found in the parks cafes and restaurants talk-

ing about tips ndashtalking 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 ndashconscious 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

-Prajna VIII-D

Elegant you be for the universe to learn your versatility

Brighter you shine the orb will know your sustenance

The ideal triumph mustnrsquot be exaggerated

How can you be silent if you donrsquot know your efficiency

And could hear the doorrsquos 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 ldquoHello My friendrdquo but the elephant replied rude-

ly saying ldquoYou tiny

ant Get off my way

otherwise yoursquoll get

crushed to deathrdquo

Hearing this ant

challenged the elephant sayingrdquo My big friend I can

make you cryrdquo The ant quickly climbed onto the trunk

of the elephant and ran towards its earit 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

ldquoPlease come out of my ear I canrsquot bear the painrdquo As

soon as the ant came out the elephant apologized for

its mistake and didnrsquot tease any animals from that day

Grandparents

nevolence they are bounded

Be sure to always meet your grandparents once in a

while and enhance yourself by their presence

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

Water is the force behind all the industry agriculture

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

without water No

water no life

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 -Aditys Patil VIII-E

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 askedwhere are

the schools There are no schools here Mother said

dont 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

The Day Irsquoll Never Forget - Saranya Sarangi VII -

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 hadnrsquot the thee

Perished laid the martyrs

Whom our motherland gave birth

I still remember that scaring sight

The scattered limbs I couldnrsquot see

My heart got filled with grief and fright

No Indian could glee

Terribly writhing the soldiers were seen

Some families languished and some

were crying

So loyal to their country they had been

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

Looking at the sky

I wish I could fly

I never disturb you

I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom

O human Then why do you steal my

Summers in India - Saranya Sarangi VIII

Many people even donrsquot 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-

dents can join different aca-

demic and co-curricular

courses to improve them-

selves Many children even spend time with their fami-

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 lsquoSummers in Indiarsquo

Exams are good or bad

- Nupoor Teli VIIIndashI

In my humble opinionexams are apressure on the stu-

dents They are forced to study and score good

markswhich 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 studybut 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

-daysthe main reason for studying is gaining marks If

there are no marksno career andno success This is the

mindset of 70 people of the worldespecially 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-

verthere are projectssubject-enrichment activi-

tieschapter test sfter every topicnotebookfile submis

sion etcAnd as acherry on top

of the cakewe have the semes-

ter exams of eighty marks as

well What all will the students

do And even if any extra-

curricular activities are being learntthen more extra

studies Just studystudy 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 notThey shouldnt be pressurized for

their marksbut 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 dont pressurize

students for what they dont likeand encourage them in

what they do After allthey 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

Never accept less than best

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 magicalhellip

Life is so magicalhellip

Humility -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D

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 personrsquos 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 personrsquos 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

canrsquot 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 yoursquore not strong enough to

stand up for yourself They think you surrender in-

stead of protesting They will despise and scorn you

but they donrsquot know that you take pleasure in what

you do because they havenrsquot experienced that kind of

joy

So if you do have humility donrsquot 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

Mom -Tanvi Sawant VII-C

Oh mom I came to this beautiful world just because

of youhellip

Mom what would I do without you

Oh mom there are thorns on the way

But you manage to get me awayhellip

Oh mom I canrsquot say how much yoursquore to me

Mom just promise me that yoursquoll and

Oh mom this world is incomplete

without you

Just like the sky without itrsquos bright color bluehellip

Oh mom yoursquore the candle that showed the way in the

dark

OUR FUTURE EARTH - Hiya Purswani VIII-B

We all know the present condition of our environment

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 Its 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 its 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 Itrsquos 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

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 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 Itrsquos 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 donʼt

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 quoterdquo 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

And wait the unfailing gray

Oh Sad are winter nights and slow

And sad is a song thatrsquos dumb

And sad it is to lie I know

Another dawn will come

Floods and Destruction

- Nirvi Soni IV-H

India faces occurrence of floods each year in some

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

Good Morning Everyone -Vyomi ThakkarVI - H

Come with me wersquoll have some fun

Wersquoll go on a walk

Donrsquot worry will have a great talk

Roaming around the ground

With beautiful birdrsquos sound

We donrsquot know if anything will be found

Wersquoll 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

-Shravya Atreya IX-D

Think before you speak

There are hearts you must please

Think before you speak

You canrsquot undo the harm done after you squeak

Think before you speak

You might have done greater harm than you might

think

Think before you speak

There are still places left for you

to seek

Think before you speak

There is a long way to go before

you sleep

Think before you speak

There are hearts you must

please

GLOBAL WARMING - Adhyant Singh VII-F

Global warming refers to the steady rise in the Earthrsquos mean temperature The effect of global

warming had come into sight when polar ice caps started melting this phenomena is called ICE ndash

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 400000000000 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 Earthrsquos surface thus increasing the temperature and also

destroying the ozone layer which prevents the ultraviolet rays of the sun from reaching the earthrsquos 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 (CFCrsquoS) 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

earthrsquos doomsday we all must work together

Itrsquos not too late there is still timehellipBefore the earth ends and we whinehellipSo keep on marching and planting

greens To end Global Warming and Make our planet greenhellip

The Night - Matangi Rajesh VII-D

Its the night

The moon is white

When we switch off the light

What a beautiful sight

After this comes the sun bright

There is no more artificial light

This is the time to start your diet

To go for a run wearing tights

Then comes the evening when

you have snacks light

And fly a big colorful kite

or include your sibling in a pillow fight

Again comes the night

A moon which is white

We switch off the light

A beautiful sight

INDIArsquoS 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

Indiarsquos 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 ldquoharness space technology ldquofor 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 ISROrsquos Fat Boyrsquo

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

Indiarsquos 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 didnt 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 Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane

with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing

speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt 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-

perloops 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 itThe first Hyperloop ndash 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

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

wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-

ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities

chapter test after every topic notebookfile 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

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 lifeI fell that exams

should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate

whether the students are clear with the concepts or

not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but

should be made understand their mistakes Let them

choose their own career options on their own Help

them know what they like to study and what they want

to do in their life So dont pressurize students for

what they dont like and encourage them in what they

do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the

country

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B

Life is all about interactions You meet people and

you interact You observe them consciously or sub-

consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us

more than we even realise Some people leave a last-

ing impression on us and entirely change the course of

life for better or for worse Some people influence us

help us go further and make all the difference

I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-

tial people They have taken care of me ever since I

came into this world They are the ones who wish the

best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-

cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel

no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-

come a part of my personality They are the ones who

helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me

to be better

When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are

the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-

takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique

learning experience It has made me realise how eve-

rything they do has a reason They are the ones who

have taught me the importance of the little things in

life They are the ones who have helped me recognize

and follow my passion The very thought of them not

being a part of my life is scary to the least as without

them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am

today and whatever I have achieved is all because of

them and I am very grateful of that

Eyesight

-Aditi Shenoy VIII-F

The tired little girl went to bed

Recollecting the days bygone

Seeing them in her dreams

As the day she was born

Trying to see the world

With her little eyes

But the sun with his brightness

Wouldnt let her catch the sights

The girl still eager

And curious to see the world around her

Again opened her eyes

But her vision was blurred

Still she did not lose hope

Which flowed through her blood

Encouraging and pushing her

To see the world further

Her heart beating fast

Her enthusiasm increasing

She slowly tried to see

With her eyes continuously blinking

Starting to lose hope

She was ready to give up

But curiosity got the upper hand

And pushed her forward

With her hope again rising

and strength in her eyesight

She is finally seeing the world

With wide open eyes

Conquering the space

ldquoThere is no failure in Science it is only continual

effort to conquer the unknown On the way even if we

face failure it rather adds more value to our effort for

our next journey to know the unknownrdquo

Chandrayan-2 Indiarsquos Moon Mission The dream of

entire India to land on moon and become the 4th Na-

tion in the world to put its flag on the soil of moon

after USSR USA amp China

ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launched

Chandrayan-2 on 22nd July 2019 from Bengaluru

(Satish Dhawan Space Center) under the command of

ISRO chief K Shivan It consists of ORBITER

LANDER amp Lunar Rover PRAGYAN Like Chandra-

yan-1(22nd Oct2008) it was Indiarsquos indigenous moon

mission

It touched the Moon Surface on Saturday early morn-

ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-

ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-

ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of

moon it lost contact with the ground station Because

of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be

monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m

(approx) away from its assigned location near

SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still

orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange

signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it

The ORBITER which will remain active for another

12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-

owed portion of the moon for the first time in history

with the help of its high-resolution camera

The entire Nation irrespective of their field of

knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front

of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of

VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true

Indians who always dream progress and development

of their motherland But our heart never accepts this

as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement

for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-

pose of our mission

But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at

this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring

country quoting this as a big failure on part of India

blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos

money on this

Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will

be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to

this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other

nations on such missions

Further I should say that India is not new in the field

of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-

TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975

It was named after famous scientist of ancient India

ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested

for the first time the HELIOCENTRIC THEORY

(Sun at the center and all planets revolve around the

Sun) of the Solar System much earlier than ready for

New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 57

COPERNICUS as believed in the western world

Other countries might have moon on their flags but

we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is

great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are

whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-

rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is

only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the

unknown and its continual application for the benefit

of the mankind)rdquo

Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by

various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-

PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-

cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958

onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as

46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was

attempted out of which only 21 was successful

Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-

tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the

overall attempts conducted by other Nations

USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-

NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was

planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January

SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR

successfully on moon

NASA after many attempts was successful to send

first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th

July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk

on moon

Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-

clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-

SION MANGAL for our next moon mission

gation against the judge was that he had acquired the

land not in any discretionary quota but in the open

market at the market priceAlso 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

democracySome newspapers espouse the cause of

only one community

ldquoThey do not judge problems on their merits They

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 worldrsquos 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

We all know the present condition of our environment

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 Its 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 beauti-

ful earth and so itrsquos 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 trsquos

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 rdquoEveryone

has a good and a bad side in his life What matters is

the part we choose to act upon rdquoThis is an excellent

thought said by Sirius Black in the movie Harry Pot-

ter Itrsquos 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 donrsquot 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

- Heet Shripal Kankariya VII-G

It is hard to recall the past

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

Dont lose ittry and endeavor

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

With all the night strength and gust

Preserving nature is must

Mother Nature has been so lucrative

Letrsquos do something to save her

Something new and creativersquo

Let us get pollution under control

Before mother Earth weeps and implores

Let clean air sweep

Both high and deep

Let the tiny piece of land

Be clean tidy and neat

Let uncontaminated water be

So that everything doesnrsquot

end like the sea

Let the tree stand

lsquoCause it is more alluring than the seven colour band

Without being loquacious

Mother nature is indeed precious

The Little girl

- Bhumika Sharma VI-F

I found in a garage

Near the carriage

A tiny little baby girl

She had cute blue eyes

Which were very small in size

And had beautiful hair with a cute little curl

I wonder why she was there

And she came fromhellipwhere

I then asked a person passing on the road

If he knew the merciless who

kept her near the horses and

toads

The person replied ldquoWho cares

O Madamhellip

hellipFor a girl who is denied by her

dad and mum

I felt very sad and cried

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 ndashD

It was rainy season

At home came a pigeon

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 didnrsquot fly away

Because I took care

Soon there were three small

eggs

Which were taken care of by the guest

The bird is easy to guess

Because it doesnrsquot make a mess

With its red tail

It looked a bit frail

Between the plants green full full

Was the nest of the little Bulbul

The Art of Dharma as per Mahabharata

- Abhishek Singh [Teacher SrSecondary]

Dharma means the Duty or RighteousnessDharma is

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)Its like the Ying and Yang

Duryodhanarsquos envy for the Pandvarsquos Indraprastha and

Yudhishthirarsquos 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

rivalrsquos possessions or eternal sickness to pull the rival

downThe envy and greed are both presents even in

the

modern day world the failure

of communism was caused by

envy among citizens while 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

Dharma is not justice Its difference between Retribu-

tive Justice and forgiveness While a nation with

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 wasnrsquot happy to see me happy

and I noticed a photograph in my phone which be-

mused me ndash not mentioning how frightened I had be-

come

The picture waswashow can I explain The back-

ground was of my house In the photoI was

sleeping Butbut 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 ndash the

noises from outside noises of something creaking and

the wind forcefully blowing through the thin slit of the

window eerily

I was panic-stricken I

quickly switched my

phone off and kept it on

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 lsquoIt is Tues-

day todayrsquo 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 couldnrsquot 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 doesnrsquot 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 wonrsquot 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

- Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D

She lived under a rock

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

From being the young shy girl they saw

But all this struggle slowly had her crumbling

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 lsquolifersquo as its spell

Being myself Irsquoll uplift

Life is too short

Donrsquot be someone else

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 educationWith 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

status of women bringing

them shoulder to shoulder

with men These particular

measures constitute a pro-

cess which is known as ldquoWomen Empowermentrdquo

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 lsquoEscape and start overrsquo

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

embryos is set up they would

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

Television Pros and Cons

- Soumya Sheth

What do most of the people do these days to entertain

themselvesEveryone 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

However like every good and popular inventions tel-

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 elseItrsquos

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 inven-

tion of science in

the right and bene-

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 donrsquot

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

The night before the final examination appears to all

examinees as the night before the Battle of Waterloo

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-

tion they would be

going about their

daily rounds They

may be found in the parks cafes and restaurants talk-

ing about tips ndashtalking 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 ndashconscious 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

-Prajna VIII-D

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 mustnrsquot be exaggerated

Elegant you be for the universe to learn your versatility

How can you be silent if you donrsquot know your efficiency

One of the values to become successful is simplicity

Through elegance letrsquos spread positivist

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 chocolate car

Soon after it was 6 oclock

And could hear the doorrsquos 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 ldquoHello My friendrdquo but the elephant replied rude-

ly saying ldquoYou tiny

ant Get off my way

otherwise yoursquoll get

crushed to deathrdquo

Hearing this ant

challenged the elephant sayingrdquo My big friend I can

make you cryrdquo The ant quickly climbed onto the trunk

of the elephant and ran towards its earit 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

ldquoPlease come out of my ear I canrsquot bear the painrdquo As

soon as the ant came out the elephant apologized for

its mistake and didnrsquot tease any animals from that day

Grandparents

-Aditya Patil VIII-E

The best place in vacation

A heaven like destination

Their love for us is endless

To your grandparents never be rude

Because they are your

coolest dude

They yell at our parents

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

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

Water is the force behind all the industry agriculture

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

without water No

water no life

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 -Aditys Patil VIII-E

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 askedwhere are

the schools There are no schools here Mother said

dont 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

The Day Irsquoll Never Forget - Saranya Sarangi VII -

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 hadnrsquot the thee

Perished laid the martyrs

Whom our motherland gave birth

I still remember that scaring sight

The scattered limbs I couldnrsquot see

My heart got filled with grief and fright

No Indian could glee

Terribly writhing the soldiers were seen

Some families languished and some

were crying

So loyal to their country they had been

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

I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom

O human Then why do you steal my FREEDOM

Binding me alone in the cage makes me sad

Donrsquot you know caging a bird is bad

Looking at the sky

I wish I could fly

I never disturb you

I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom

O human Then why do you steal my

Summers in India - Saranya Sarangi VIII

A hot season beginning from April till May is what we

call summer And thatrsquos the basic rule in India But

thatrsquos 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 donrsquot 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-

dents can join different aca-

demic and co-curricular

courses to improve them-

selves Many children even spend time with their fami-

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 lsquoSummers in Indiarsquo

Exams are good or bad

- Nupoor Teli VIIIndashI

In my humble opinionexams are apressure on the stu-

dents They are forced to study and score good

markswhich 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 studybut 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

-daysthe main reason for studying is gaining marks If

there are no marksno career andno success This is the

mindset of 70 people of the worldespecially 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-

verthere are projectssubject-enrichment activi-

tieschapter test sfter every topicnotebookfile submis

sion etcAnd as acherry on top

of the cakewe have the semes-

ter exams of eighty marks as

well What all will the students

do And even if any extra-

curricular activities are being learntthen more extra

studies Just studystudy 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 notThey shouldnt be pressurized for

their marksbut 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 dont pressurize

students for what they dont likeand encourage them in

what they do After allthey are only the Rising stars of

the country

But make it the most beautiful

Life is magicalhellip

Life is so magicalhellip

Humility -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D

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 personrsquos 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 personrsquos 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

canrsquot 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 yoursquore not strong enough to

stand up for yourself They think you surrender in-

stead of protesting They will despise and scorn you

but they donrsquot know that you take pleasure in what

you do because they havenrsquot experienced that kind of

joy

So if you do have humility donrsquot 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

Mom -Tanvi Sawant VII-C

Oh mom I came to this beautiful world just because

of youhellip

Mom what would I do without you

Oh mom there are thorns on the way

But you manage to get me awayhellip

Oh mom I canrsquot say how much yoursquore to me

Mom just promise me that yoursquoll and

always be with mehellip

Oh mom this world is incomplete

without you

Just like the sky without itrsquos bright color bluehellip

Oh mom yoursquore the candle that showed the way in the

dark

My dear mom you made my life spark

I am the EARTH - Deepashikha P VII F

Hello I am the Earth

For me I am the sweetest heart

I provide you with lots of stuff

With food and the mangoes that you love

I give you water soil and Sun

I am special as I am just one

But the humans living on me

Are making me dirty

They are cutting all the trees

And killing all the species helliphellip

They filling me with smoke and death

They are killing themselves

with lack of breath

I am the Earth

I am your mother

Make me the best by pol-

luting me less and less

And preventing my green dress

You can save water

you plant a tree

Make a better home for you on me

Recycle things donrsquot throw them awayhellip

MAKE EVERY DAY AN EARTH

OUR FUTURE EARTH - Hiya Purswani VIII-B

We all know the present condition of our environment

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 Its 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 its 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 Itrsquos 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

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 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 Itrsquos 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 donʼt

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 quoterdquo 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

Floods and Destruction

- Nirvi Soni IV-H

India faces occurrence of floods each year in some

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

Good Morning Everyone -Vyomi ThakkarVI - H

Donrsquot worry will have a great talk

Roaming around the ground

With beautiful birdrsquos sound

We donrsquot know if anything will be found

Wersquoll 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

-Shravya Atreya IX-D

Think before you speak

There are hearts you must please

Think before you speak

You canrsquot undo the harm done after you squeak

Think before you speak

You might have done greater harm than you might

think

Think before you speak

There are still places left for you

to seek

Think before you speak

There is a long way to go before

you sleep

Think before you speak

There are hearts you must

please

Everything is fine

GLOBAL WARMING - Adhyant Singh VII-F

Global warming refers to the steady rise in the Earthrsquos mean temperature The effect of global

warming had come into sight when polar ice caps started melting this phenomena is called ICE ndash

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 400000000000 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 Earthrsquos surface thus increasing the temperature and also

destroying the ozone layer which prevents the ultraviolet rays of the sun from reaching the earthrsquos 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 (CFCrsquoS) 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

earthrsquos doomsday we all must work together

Itrsquos not too late there is still timehellipBefore the earth ends and we whinehellipSo keep on marching and planting

greens To end Global Warming and Make our planet greenhellip

What will happen without Instagram

Instagram Instagram Instagram

I was hearing it from everyone

I asked who was the inventor

Nobody knew the answer to my question

Mobiles Mobiles Mobiles

I was able to see them everywhere

I asked who was the inventor

Again nobody was aware

I wondered why was it like so

Why is it they donrsquot know

There was one time we were

engrossed in books

Now we care more about our looks

Instagram wonrsquot give you a job

You will have to study and top

Your fellow followers wonrsquot help either

If you donrsquot have a job no one will bother

I am a tree

I am a tree

With a dark green crown

And a thick strong trunk

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

Its the night

The moon is white

When we switch off the light

What a beautiful sight

After this comes the sun bright

There is no more artificial light

This is the time to start your diet

To go for a run wearing tights

Then comes the evening when

you have snacks light

And fly a big colorful kite

or include your sibling in a pillow fight

Again comes the night

A moon which is white

We switch off the light

A beautiful sight

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

Indiarsquos 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 ldquoharness space technology ldquofor 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 ISROrsquos Fat Boyrsquo

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

Indiarsquos 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 didnt 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 Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane

with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing

speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt 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-

perloops 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 itThe first Hyperloop ndash 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

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

wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-

ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities

chapter test after every topic notebookfile 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

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 lifeI fell that exams

should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate

whether the students are clear with the concepts or

not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but

should be made understand their mistakes Let them

choose their own career options on their own Help

them know what they like to study and what they want

to do in their life So dont pressurize students for

what they dont like and encourage them in what they

do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the

country

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B

Life is all about interactions You meet people and

you interact You observe them consciously or sub-

consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us

more than we even realise Some people leave a last-

ing impression on us and entirely change the course of

life for better or for worse Some people influence us

help us go further and make all the difference

I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-

tial people They have taken care of me ever since I

came into this world They are the ones who wish the

best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-

cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel

no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-

come a part of my personality They are the ones who

helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me

to be better

When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are

the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-

takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique

learning experience It has made me realise how eve-

rything they do has a reason They are the ones who

have taught me the importance of the little things in

life They are the ones who have helped me recognize

and follow my passion The very thought of them not

being a part of my life is scary to the least as without

them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am

today and whatever I have achieved is all because of

them and I am very grateful of that

Eyesight

-Aditi Shenoy VIII-F

The tired little girl went to bed

Recollecting the days bygone

Seeing them in her dreams

As the day she was born

Trying to see the world

With her little eyes

But the sun with his brightness

Wouldnt let her catch the sights

The girl still eager

And curious to see the world around her

Again opened her eyes

But her vision was blurred

Still she did not lose hope

Which flowed through her blood

Encouraging and pushing her

To see the world further

Her heart beating fast

Her enthusiasm increasing

She slowly tried to see

With her eyes continuously blinking

Starting to lose hope

She was ready to give up

But curiosity got the upper hand

And pushed her forward

With her hope again rising

and strength in her eyesight

She is finally seeing the world

With wide open eyes

Conquering the space

ldquoThere is no failure in Science it is only continual

effort to conquer the unknown On the way even if we

face failure it rather adds more value to our effort for

our next journey to know the unknownrdquo

Chandrayan-2 Indiarsquos Moon Mission The dream of

entire India to land on moon and become the 4th Na-

tion in the world to put its flag on the soil of moon

after USSR USA amp China

ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launched

Chandrayan-2 on 22nd July 2019 from Bengaluru

(Satish Dhawan Space Center) under the command of

ISRO chief K Shivan It consists of ORBITER

LANDER amp Lunar Rover PRAGYAN Like Chandra-

yan-1(22nd Oct2008) it was Indiarsquos indigenous moon

mission

It touched the Moon Surface on Saturday early morn-

ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-

ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-

ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of

moon it lost contact with the ground station Because

of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be

monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m

(approx) away from its assigned location near

SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still

orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange

signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it

The ORBITER which will remain active for another

12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-

owed portion of the moon for the first time in history

with the help of its high-resolution camera

The entire Nation irrespective of their field of

knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front

of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of

VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true

Indians who always dream progress and development

of their motherland But our heart never accepts this

as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement

for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-

pose of our mission

But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at

this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring

country quoting this as a big failure on part of India

blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos

money on this

Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will

be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to

this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other

nations on such missions

Further I should say that India is not new in the field

of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-

TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975

It was named after famous scientist of ancient India

ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested

for the first time the HELIOCENTRIC THEORY

(Sun at the center and all planets revolve around the

Sun) of the Solar System much earlier than ready for

New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 57

COPERNICUS as believed in the western world

Other countries might have moon on their flags but

we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is

great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are

whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-

rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is

only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the

unknown and its continual application for the benefit

of the mankind)rdquo

Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by

various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-

PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-

cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958

onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as

46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was

attempted out of which only 21 was successful

Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-

tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the

overall attempts conducted by other Nations

USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-

NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was

planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January

SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR

successfully on moon

NASA after many attempts was successful to send

first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th

July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk

on moon

Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-

clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-

SION MANGAL for our next moon mission

The Aloof Humans - A curse to mother

earth - Vaijayanthimala Navneet VIII-J

With all the night strength and gust

Preserving nature is must

Mother Nature has been so lucrative

Letrsquos do something to save her

Something new and creativersquo

Let us get pollution under control

Before mother Earth weeps and implores

Let clean air sweep

Both high and deep

Let the tiny piece of land

Be clean tidy and neat

Let uncontaminated water be

So that everything doesnrsquot

end like the sea

Let the tree stand

lsquoCause it is more alluring than the seven colour band

Without being loquacious

Mother nature is indeed precious

The Little girl

- Bhumika Sharma VI-F

I found in a garage

Near the carriage

A tiny little baby girl

She had cute blue eyes

Which were very small in size

And had beautiful hair with a cute little curl

I wonder why she was there

And she came fromhellipwhere

I then asked a person passing on the road

If he knew the merciless who

kept her near the horses and

The Little Guest - Ashwathy Ganesh VI ndashD

It was rainy season

At home came a pigeon

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 didnrsquot fly away

Because I took care

Soon there were three small

eggs

Which were taken care of by the guest

The bird is easy to guess

Because it doesnrsquot make a mess

With its red tail

It looked a bit frail

Between the plants green full full

Was the nest of the little Bulbul

The Art of Dharma as per Mahabharata

- Abhishek Singh [Teacher SrSecondary]

Dharma means the Duty or RighteousnessDharma is

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)Its like the Ying and Yang

Duryodhanarsquos envy for the Pandvarsquos Indraprastha and

Yudhishthirarsquos 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

rivalrsquos possessions or eternal sickness to pull the rival

downThe envy and greed are both presents even in

the

modern day world the failure

of communism was caused by

envy among citizens while 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

Dharma is not justice Its difference between Retribu-

tive Justice and forgiveness While a nation with

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 wasnrsquot happy to see me happy

and I noticed a photograph in my phone which be-

mused me ndash not mentioning how frightened I had be-

come

The picture waswashow can I explain The back-

ground was of my house In the photoI was

sleeping Butbut 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 ndash the

noises from outside noises of something creaking and

the wind forcefully blowing through the thin slit of the

window eerily

I was panic-stricken I

quickly switched my

phone off and kept it on

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 lsquoIt is Tues-

day todayrsquo 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 couldnrsquot 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 doesnrsquot 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 wonrsquot 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

- Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D

She lived under a rock

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

From being the young shy girl they saw

But all this struggle slowly had her crumbling

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 lsquolifersquo as its spell

Being myself Irsquoll uplift

Life is too short

Donrsquot be someone else

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 educationWith 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

status of women bringing

them shoulder to shoulder

with men These particular

measures constitute a pro-

cess which is known as ldquoWomen Empowermentrdquo

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 lsquoEscape and start overrsquo

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

embryos is set up they would

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

Television Pros and Cons

- Soumya Sheth

What do most of the people do these days to entertain

themselvesEveryone 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

However like every good and popular inventions tel-

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 elseItrsquos

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 inven-

tion of science in

the right and bene-

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 donrsquot

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

The night before the final examination appears to all

examinees as the night before the Battle of Waterloo

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-

tion they would be

going about their

daily rounds They

may be found in the parks cafes and restaurants talk-

ing about tips ndashtalking 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 ndashconscious 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

-Prajna VIII-D

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 mustnrsquot be exaggerated

Till you salve someonersquos hurt

Elegant you be for the universe to learn your versatility

How can you be silent if you donrsquot know your efficiency

One of the values to become successful is simplicity

Through elegance letrsquos spread positivist

Chocoland - Talreja Aastha IV-J

Once I had been to the Chocolate Land

Chocolate all around to the reach of my hand

Toffees candies lollies and bars

In my mouth a crunchy munchy war

White dark nutty and sweet

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 chocolate car

Soon after it was 6 oclock

And could hear the doorrsquos 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 ldquoHello My friendrdquo but the elephant replied rude-

ly saying ldquoYou tiny

ant Get off my way

otherwise yoursquoll get

crushed to deathrdquo

Hearing this ant

challenged the elephant sayingrdquo My big friend I can

make you cryrdquo The ant quickly climbed onto the trunk

of the elephant and ran towards its earit 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

ldquoPlease come out of my ear I canrsquot bear the painrdquo As

soon as the ant came out the elephant apologized for

its mistake and didnrsquot tease any animals from that day

Grandparents

-Aditya Patil VIII-E

The best place in vacation

A heaven like destination

Their love for us is endless

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

coolest dude

They yell at our parents

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

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

Water is the force behind all the industry agriculture

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

without water No

water no life

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 -Aditys Patil VIII-E

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 askedwhere are

the schools There are no schools here Mother said

dont 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

The Day Irsquoll Never Forget - Saranya Sarangi VII -

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 hadnrsquot the thee

Perished laid the martyrs

Whom our motherland gave birth

I still remember that scaring sight

The scattered limbs I couldnrsquot see

My heart got filled with grief and fright

No Indian could glee

Terribly writhing the soldiers were seen

Some families languished and some

were crying

So loyal to their country they had been

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

I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom

O human Then why do you steal my FREEDOM

Binding me alone in the cage makes me sad

Donrsquot you know caging a bird is bad

Looking at the sky

I wish I could fly

I never disturb you

I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom

O human Then why do you steal my

Summers in India - Saranya Sarangi VIII

A hot season beginning from April till May is what we

call summer And thatrsquos the basic rule in India But

thatrsquos 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 donrsquot 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-

dents can join different aca-

demic and co-curricular

courses to improve them-

selves Many children even spend time with their fami-

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 lsquoSummers in Indiarsquo

Exams are good or bad

- Nupoor Teli VIIIndashI

In my humble opinionexams are apressure on the stu-

dents They are forced to study and score good

markswhich 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 studybut 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

-daysthe main reason for studying is gaining marks If

there are no marksno career andno success This is the

mindset of 70 people of the worldespecially 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-

verthere are projectssubject-enrichment activi-

tieschapter test sfter every topicnotebookfile submis

sion etcAnd as acherry on top

of the cakewe have the semes-

ter exams of eighty marks as

well What all will the students

do And even if any extra-

curricular activities are being learntthen more extra

studies Just studystudy 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 notThey shouldnt be pressurized for

their marksbut 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 dont pressurize

students for what they dont likeand encourage them in

what they do After allthey 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

Never accept less than best

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 magicalhellip

Life is so magicalhellip

Humility -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D

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 personrsquos 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 personrsquos 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

canrsquot 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 yoursquore not strong enough to

stand up for yourself They think you surrender in-

stead of protesting They will despise and scorn you

but they donrsquot know that you take pleasure in what

you do because they havenrsquot experienced that kind of

joy

So if you do have humility donrsquot 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

Mom -Tanvi Sawant VII-C

Oh mom I came to this beautiful world just because

OUR FUTURE EARTH - Hiya Purswani VIII-B

We all know the present condition of our environment

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 Its 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 its 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 Itrsquos 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

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 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 Itrsquos 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 donʼt

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 quoterdquo 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

And wait the unfailing gray

Oh Sad are winter nights and slow

And sad is a song thatrsquos dumb

And sad it is to lie I know

Another dawn will come

Floods and Destruction

- Nirvi Soni IV-H

India faces occurrence of floods each year in some

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

Good Morning Everyone -Vyomi ThakkarVI - H

Come with me wersquoll have some fun

Wersquoll go on a walk

Donrsquot worry will have a great talk

Roaming around the ground

With beautiful birdrsquos sound

We donrsquot know if anything will be found

Wersquoll 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

-Shravya Atreya IX-D

Think before you speak

There are hearts you must please

Think before you speak

You canrsquot undo the harm done after you squeak

Think before you speak

You might have done greater harm than you might

think

Think before you speak

There are still places left for you

to seek

Think before you speak

There is a long way to go before

you sleep

Think before you speak

There are hearts you must

please

Sunrise -Anuradha Singh VII-H

Over the glimmering purple sea

Under the golden sun rise

The Island dreams under the dawn

And the message is carried by the wind that blows

across the bitter sea

A sparrow sways upon a tree

staring at his own in the

enamelled sea

Everything is fine

With fading stars and rising light

GLOBAL WARMING - Adhyant Singh VII-F

Global warming refers to the steady rise in the Earthrsquos mean temperature The effect of global

warming had come into sight when polar ice caps started melting this phenomena is called ICE ndash

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 400000000000 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 Earthrsquos surface thus increasing the temperature and also

destroying the ozone layer which prevents the ultraviolet rays of the sun from reaching the earthrsquos 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 (CFCrsquoS) 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

earthrsquos doomsday we all must work together

Itrsquos not too late there is still timehellipBefore the earth ends and we whinehellipSo keep on marching and planting

greens To end Global Warming and Make our planet greenhellip

What will happen without Instagram

- Kaavya Chaudhary VII-F

Instagram Instagram Instagram

I was hearing it from everyone

I asked who was the inventor

Nobody knew the answer to my question

Mobiles Mobiles Mobiles

I was able to see them everywhere

I asked who was the inventor

Again nobody was aware

I wondered why was it like so

Why is it they donrsquot know

There was one time we were

engrossed in books

Now we care more about our looks

Instagram wonrsquot give you a job

You will have to study and top

Your fellow followers wonrsquot help either

If you donrsquot have a job no one will bother

I am a tree

- Yashawini Pillai

I am a tree

With a dark green crown

And a thick strong trunk

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

Its the night

The moon is white

When we switch off the light

What a beautiful sight

After this comes the sun bright

There is no more artificial light

This is the time to start your diet

To go for a run wearing tights

Then comes the evening when

you have snacks light

And fly a big colorful kite

or include your sibling in a pillow fight

Again comes the night

A moon which is white

We switch off the light

A beautiful sight

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 didnt 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 Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane

with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing

speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt 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-

perloops 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 itThe first Hyperloop ndash 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

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

wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-

ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities

chapter test after every topic notebookfile 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

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 lifeI fell that exams

should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate

whether the students are clear with the concepts or

not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but

should be made understand their mistakes Let them

choose their own career options on their own Help

them know what they like to study and what they want

to do in their life So dont pressurize students for

what they dont like and encourage them in what they

do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the

country

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B

Life is all about interactions You meet people and

you interact You observe them consciously or sub-

consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us

more than we even realise Some people leave a last-

ing impression on us and entirely change the course of

life for better or for worse Some people influence us

help us go further and make all the difference

I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-

tial people They have taken care of me ever since I

came into this world They are the ones who wish the

best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-

cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel

no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-

come a part of my personality They are the ones who

helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me

to be better

When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are

the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-

takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique

learning experience It has made me realise how eve-

rything they do has a reason They are the ones who

have taught me the importance of the little things in

life They are the ones who have helped me recognize

and follow my passion The very thought of them not

being a part of my life is scary to the least as without

them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am

today and whatever I have achieved is all because of

them and I am very grateful of that

Eyesight

-Aditi Shenoy VIII-F

The tired little girl went to bed

Recollecting the days bygone

Seeing them in her dreams

As the day she was born

Trying to see the world

With her little eyes

But the sun with his brightness

Wouldnt let her catch the sights

The girl still eager

And curious to see the world around her

Again opened her eyes

But her vision was blurred

Still she did not lose hope

Which flowed through her blood

Encouraging and pushing her

To see the world further

Her heart beating fast

Her enthusiasm increasing

She slowly tried to see

With her eyes continuously blinking

Starting to lose hope

She was ready to give up

But curiosity got the upper hand

And pushed her forward

With her hope again rising

and strength in her eyesight

She is finally seeing the world

With wide open eyes

Conquering the space

-Marisha Nath VIII-C

ldquoThere is no failure in Science it is only continual

effort to conquer the unknown On the way even if we

face failure it rather adds more value to our effort for

our next journey to know the unknownrdquo

Chandrayan-2 Indiarsquos Moon Mission The dream of

entire India to land on moon and become the 4th Na-

tion in the world to put its flag on the soil of moon

after USSR USA amp China

ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launched

Chandrayan-2 on 22nd July 2019 from Bengaluru

(Satish Dhawan Space Center) under the command of

ISRO chief K Shivan It consists of ORBITER

LANDER amp Lunar Rover PRAGYAN Like Chandra-

yan-1(22nd Oct2008) it was Indiarsquos indigenous moon

mission

It touched the Moon Surface on Saturday early morn-

ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-

ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-

ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of

moon it lost contact with the ground station Because

of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be

monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m

(approx) away from its assigned location near

SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still

orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange

signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it

The ORBITER which will remain active for another

12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-

owed portion of the moon for the first time in history

with the help of its high-resolution camera

The entire Nation irrespective of their field of

knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front

of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of

VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true

Indians who always dream progress and development

of their motherland But our heart never accepts this

as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement

for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-

pose of our mission

But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at

this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring

country quoting this as a big failure on part of India

blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos

money on this

Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will

be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to

this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other

nations on such missions

Further I should say that India is not new in the field

of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-

TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975

It was named after famous scientist of ancient India

ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested

for the first time the HELIOCENTRIC THEORY

(Sun at the center and all planets revolve around the

Sun) of the Solar System much earlier than ready for

New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 57

COPERNICUS as believed in the western world

Other countries might have moon on their flags but

we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is

great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are

whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-

rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is

only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the

unknown and its continual application for the benefit

of the mankind)rdquo

Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by

various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-

PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-

cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958

onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as

46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was

attempted out of which only 21 was successful

Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-

tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the

overall attempts conducted by other Nations

USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-

NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was

planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January

SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR

successfully on moon

NASA after many attempts was successful to send

first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th

July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk

on moon

Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-

clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-

SION MANGAL for our next moon mission

Our Future Earth

- Hiya Purswani VIII B

We all know the present condition of our environment

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 Its 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 beauti-

ful earth and so itrsquos 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 trsquos

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 rdquoEveryone

has a good and a bad side in his life What matters is

the part we choose to act upon rdquoThis is an excellent

thought said by Sirius Black in the movie Harry Pot-

ter Itrsquos 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 donrsquot 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

- Heet Shripal Kankariya VII-G

It is hard to recall the past

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

Dont lose ittry and endeavor

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

With all the night strength and gust

Preserving nature is must

Mother Nature has been so lucrative

Letrsquos do something to save her

Something new and creativersquo

Let us get pollution under control

Before mother Earth weeps and implores

Let clean air sweep

Both high and deep

Let the tiny piece of land

Be clean tidy and neat

Let uncontaminated water be

So that everything doesnrsquot

end like the sea

Let the tree stand

lsquoCause it is more alluring than the seven colour band

Without being loquacious

Mother nature is indeed precious

The Little girl

- Bhumika Sharma VI-F

I found in a garage

Near the carriage

A tiny little baby girl

She had cute blue eyes

Which were very small in size

And had beautiful hair with a cute little curl

I wonder why she was there

And she came fromhellipwhere

I then asked a person passing on the road

If he knew the merciless who

kept her near the horses and

toads

The person replied ldquoWho cares

O Madamhellip

hellipFor a girl who is denied by her

dad and mum

I felt very sad and cried

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 ndashD

It was rainy season

At home came a pigeon

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 didnrsquot fly away

Because I took care

Soon there were three small

eggs

Which were taken care of by the guest

The bird is easy to guess

Because it doesnrsquot make a mess

With its red tail

It looked a bit frail

Between the plants green full full

Was the nest of the little Bulbul

The Art of Dharma as per Mahabharata

- Abhishek Singh [Teacher SrSecondary]

Dharma means the Duty or RighteousnessDharma is

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)Its like the Ying and Yang

Duryodhanarsquos envy for the Pandvarsquos Indraprastha and

Yudhishthirarsquos 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

rivalrsquos possessions or eternal sickness to pull the rival

downThe envy and greed are both presents even in

the

modern day world the failure

of communism was caused by

envy among citizens while 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

Dharma is not justice Its difference between Retribu-

tive Justice and forgiveness While a nation with

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 wasnrsquot happy to see me happy

and I noticed a photograph in my phone which be-

mused me ndash not mentioning how frightened I had be-

come

The picture waswashow can I explain The back-

ground was of my house In the photoI was

sleeping Butbut 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 ndash the

noises from outside noises of something creaking and

the wind forcefully blowing through the thin slit of the

window eerily

I was panic-stricken I

quickly switched my

phone off and kept it on

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 lsquoIt is Tues-

day todayrsquo 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 couldnrsquot 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 doesnrsquot 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 wonrsquot 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

- Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D

She lived under a rock

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

From being the young shy girl they saw

But all this struggle slowly had her crumbling

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 lsquolifersquo as its spell

Being myself Irsquoll uplift

Life is too short

Donrsquot be someone else

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 educationWith 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

status of women bringing

them shoulder to shoulder

with men These particular

measures constitute a pro-

cess which is known as ldquoWomen Empowermentrdquo

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 lsquoEscape and start overrsquo

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

embryos is set up they would

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

My vision reflects its flaming intention

Irsquom steady upon the decision

About which Irsquoll never disclaim

Accepting the outcome never blame

To impulse refer those achieves

In the decision of mine

I possess optimism in myself

And so I believe everything

Though it may be tough

To perceive ones way to success

A dose of victory isnrsquot enough

Television Pros and Cons

- Soumya Sheth

What do most of the people do these days to entertain

themselvesEveryone 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

However like every good and popular inventions tel-

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 elseItrsquos

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 inven-

tion of science in

the right and bene-

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 donrsquot

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

The night before the final examination appears to all

examinees as the night before the Battle of Waterloo

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-

tion they would be

going about their

daily rounds They

may be found in the parks cafes and restaurants talk-

ing about tips ndashtalking 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 ndashconscious 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

-Prajna VIII-D

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 mustnrsquot be exaggerated

Till you salve someonersquos hurt

Elegant you be for the universe to learn your versatility

How can you be silent if you donrsquot know your efficiency

One of the values to become successful is simplicity

Through elegance letrsquos spread positivist

Chocoland - Talreja Aastha IV-J

Once I had been to the Chocolate Land

Chocolate all around to the reach of my hand

Toffees candies lollies and bars

In my mouth a crunchy munchy war

White dark nutty and sweet

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 chocolate car

Soon after it was 6 oclock

And could hear the doorrsquos 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 ldquoHello My friendrdquo but the elephant replied rude-

ly saying ldquoYou tiny

ant Get off my way

otherwise yoursquoll get

crushed to deathrdquo

Hearing this ant

challenged the elephant sayingrdquo My big friend I can

make you cryrdquo The ant quickly climbed onto the trunk

of the elephant and ran towards its earit 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

ldquoPlease come out of my ear I canrsquot bear the painrdquo As

soon as the ant came out the elephant apologized for

its mistake and didnrsquot tease any animals from that day

Grandparents

-Aditya Patil VIII-E

The best place in vacation

A heaven like destination

Their love for us is endless

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

coolest dude

They yell at our parents

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

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

Water is the force behind all the industry agriculture

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

without water No

water no life

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 -Aditys Patil VIII-E

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 askedwhere are

the schools There are no schools here Mother said

dont 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

The Day Irsquoll Never Forget - Saranya Sarangi VII -

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 hadnrsquot the thee

Perished laid the martyrs

Whom our motherland gave birth

I still remember that scaring sight

The scattered limbs I couldnrsquot see

My heart got filled with grief and fright

No Indian could glee

Terribly writhing the soldiers were seen

Some families languished and some

were crying

So loyal to their country they had been

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

I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom

O human Then why do you steal my FREEDOM

Binding me alone in the cage makes me sad

Donrsquot you know caging a bird is bad

Looking at the sky

I wish I could fly

I never disturb you

I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom

O human Then why do you steal my

FREEDOM

Summers in India - Saranya Sarangi VIII

A hot season beginning from April till May is what we

call summer And thatrsquos the basic rule in India But

thatrsquos 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 donrsquot 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-

dents can join different aca-

demic and co-curricular

courses to improve them-

selves Many children even spend time with their fami-

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 lsquoSummers in Indiarsquo

Exams are good or bad

- Nupoor Teli VIIIndashI

In my humble opinionexams are apressure on the stu-

dents They are forced to study and score good

markswhich 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 studybut 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

-daysthe main reason for studying is gaining marks If

there are no marksno career andno success This is the

mindset of 70 people of the worldespecially 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-

verthere are projectssubject-enrichment activi-

tieschapter test sfter every topicnotebookfile submis

sion etcAnd as acherry on top

of the cakewe have the semes-

ter exams of eighty marks as

well What all will the students

do And even if any extra-

curricular activities are being learntthen more extra

studies Just studystudy 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 notThey shouldnt be pressurized for

their marksbut 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 dont pressurize

students for what they dont likeand encourage them in

what they do After allthey 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

Never accept less than best

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 magicalhellip

Life is so magicalhellip

Humility -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D

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 personrsquos 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 personrsquos 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

canrsquot 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 yoursquore not strong enough to

stand up for yourself They think you surrender in-

stead of protesting They will despise and scorn you

but they donrsquot know that you take pleasure in what

you do because they havenrsquot experienced that kind of

joy

So if you do have humility donrsquot 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

Mom -Tanvi Sawant VII-C

OUR FUTURE EARTH - Hiya Purswani VIII-B

We all know the present condition of our environment

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 Its 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 its 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 Itrsquos 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

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 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 Itrsquos 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 donʼt

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 quoterdquo 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

Floods and Destruction

- Nirvi Soni IV-H

India faces occurrence of floods each year in some

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

There is a long way to go before

you sleep

Think before you speak

There are hearts you must

please

GLOBAL WARMING - Adhyant Singh VII-F

Global warming refers to the steady rise in the Earthrsquos mean temperature The effect of global

warming had come into sight when polar ice caps started melting this phenomena is called ICE ndash

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 400000000000 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 Earthrsquos surface thus increasing the temperature and also

destroying the ozone layer which prevents the ultraviolet rays of the sun from reaching the earthrsquos 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 (CFCrsquoS) 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

earthrsquos doomsday we all must work together

Itrsquos not too late there is still timehellipBefore the earth ends and we whinehellipSo keep on marching and planting

greens To end Global Warming and Make our planet greenhellip

And some fresh air

I need some water

And your loving care

The Night - Matangi Rajesh VII-D

Its the night

The moon is white

When we switch off the light

What a beautiful sight

After this comes the sun bright

There is no more artificial light

This is the time to start your diet

To go for a run wearing tights

Then comes the evening when

you have snacks light

And fly a big colorful kite

or include your sibling in a pillow fight

Again comes the night

A moon which is white

We switch off the light

A beautiful sight

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 ldquoharness space technology ldquofor 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 ISROrsquos Fat Boyrsquo

31 satellites in a single flight

Sending another communication satellite in the space

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 didnt 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 Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane

with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing

speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt 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-

perloops 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 itThe first Hyperloop ndash 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

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

wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-

ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities

chapter test after every topic notebookfile 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

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 lifeI fell that exams

should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate

whether the students are clear with the concepts or

not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but

should be made understand their mistakes Let them

choose their own career options on their own Help

them know what they like to study and what they want

to do in their life So dont pressurize students for

what they dont like and encourage them in what they

do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the

country

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B

Life is all about interactions You meet people and

you interact You observe them consciously or sub-

consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us

more than we even realise Some people leave a last-

ing impression on us and entirely change the course of

life for better or for worse Some people influence us

help us go further and make all the difference

I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-

tial people They have taken care of me ever since I

came into this world They are the ones who wish the

best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-

cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel

no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-

come a part of my personality They are the ones who

helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me

to be better

When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are

the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-

takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique

learning experience It has made me realise how eve-

rything they do has a reason They are the ones who

have taught me the importance of the little things in

life They are the ones who have helped me recognize

and follow my passion The very thought of them not

being a part of my life is scary to the least as without

them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am

today and whatever I have achieved is all because of

them and I am very grateful of that

Eyesight

-Aditi Shenoy VIII-F

The tired little girl went to bed

Recollecting the days bygone

Seeing them in her dreams

As the day she was born

Trying to see the world

With her little eyes

But the sun with his brightness

Wouldnt let her catch the sights

The girl still eager

And curious to see the world around her

Again opened her eyes

But her vision was blurred

Still she did not lose hope

Which flowed through her blood

Encouraging and pushing her

To see the world further

Her heart beating fast

Her enthusiasm increasing

She slowly tried to see

With her eyes continuously blinking

Starting to lose hope

She was ready to give up

But curiosity got the upper hand

And pushed her forward

With her hope again rising

and strength in her eyesight

She is finally seeing the world

With wide open eyes

Conquering the space

-Marisha Nath VIII-C

ldquoThere is no failure in Science it is only continual

effort to conquer the unknown On the way even if we

face failure it rather adds more value to our effort for

our next journey to know the unknownrdquo

Chandrayan-2 Indiarsquos Moon Mission The dream of

entire India to land on moon and become the 4th Na-

tion in the world to put its flag on the soil of moon

after USSR USA amp China

ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launched

Chandrayan-2 on 22nd July 2019 from Bengaluru

(Satish Dhawan Space Center) under the command of

ISRO chief K Shivan It consists of ORBITER

LANDER amp Lunar Rover PRAGYAN Like Chandra-

yan-1(22nd Oct2008) it was Indiarsquos indigenous moon

mission

It touched the Moon Surface on Saturday early morn-

ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-

ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-

ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of

moon it lost contact with the ground station Because

of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be

monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m

(approx) away from its assigned location near

SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still

orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange

signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it

The ORBITER which will remain active for another

12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-

owed portion of the moon for the first time in history

with the help of its high-resolution camera

The entire Nation irrespective of their field of

knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front

of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of

VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true

Indians who always dream progress and development

of their motherland But our heart never accepts this

as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement

for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-

pose of our mission

But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at

this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring

country quoting this as a big failure on part of India

blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos

money on this

Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will

be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to

this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other

nations on such missions

Further I should say that India is not new in the field

of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-

TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975

It was named after famous scientist of ancient India

ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested

for the first time the HELIOCENTRIC THEORY

(Sun at the center and all planets revolve around the

Sun) of the Solar System much earlier than ready for

New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 57

COPERNICUS as believed in the western world

Other countries might have moon on their flags but

we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is

great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are

whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-

rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is

only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the

unknown and its continual application for the benefit

of the mankind)rdquo

Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by

various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-

PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-

cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958

onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as

46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was

attempted out of which only 21 was successful

Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-

tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the

overall attempts conducted by other Nations

USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-

NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was

planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January

SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR

successfully on moon

NASA after many attempts was successful to send

first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th

July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk

on moon

Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-

clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-

SION MANGAL for our next moon mission

The Aloof Humans - A curse to mother

earth - Vaijayanthimala Navneet VIII-J

With all the night strength and gust

Preserving nature is must

Mother Nature has been so lucrative

Letrsquos do something to save her

Something new and creativersquo

Let us get pollution under control

Before mother Earth weeps and implores

Let clean air sweep

Both high and deep

Let the tiny piece of land

Be clean tidy and neat

Let uncontaminated water be

So that everything doesnrsquot

end like the sea

Let the tree stand

lsquoCause it is more alluring than the seven colour band

Without being loquacious

Mother nature is indeed precious

The Little girl

- Bhumika Sharma VI-F

I found in a garage

Near the carriage

A tiny little baby girl

She had cute blue eyes

Which were very small in size

And had beautiful hair with a cute little curl

I wonder why she was there

And she came fromhellipwhere

I then asked a person passing on the road

If he knew the merciless who

kept her near the horses and

toads

The person replied ldquoWho cares

O Madamhellip

hellipFor a girl who is denied by her

dad and mum

I felt very sad and cried

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 ndashD

It was rainy season

At home came a pigeon

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 didnrsquot fly away

Because I took care

Soon there were three small

eggs

Which were taken care of by the guest

The bird is easy to guess

Because it doesnrsquot make a mess

With its red tail

It looked a bit frail

Between the plants green full full

Was the nest of the little Bulbul

The Art of Dharma as per Mahabharata

- Abhishek Singh [Teacher SrSecondary]

Dharma means the Duty or RighteousnessDharma is

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)Its like the Ying and Yang

Duryodhanarsquos envy for the Pandvarsquos Indraprastha and

Yudhishthirarsquos 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

rivalrsquos possessions or eternal sickness to pull the rival

downThe envy and greed are both presents even in

the

modern day world the failure

of communism was caused by

envy among citizens while 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

Dharma is not justice Its difference between Retribu-

tive Justice and forgiveness While a nation with

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 wasnrsquot happy to see me happy

and I noticed a photograph in my phone which be-

mused me ndash not mentioning how frightened I had be-

come

The picture waswashow can I explain The back-

ground was of my house In the photoI was

sleeping Butbut 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 ndash the

noises from outside noises of something creaking and

the wind forcefully blowing through the thin slit of the

window eerily

I was panic-stricken I

quickly switched my

phone off and kept it on

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 lsquoIt is Tues-

day todayrsquo 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 couldnrsquot 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 doesnrsquot 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 wonrsquot 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

- Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D

She lived under a rock

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

From being the young shy girl they saw

But all this struggle slowly had her crumbling

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 lsquolifersquo as its spell

Being myself Irsquoll uplift

Life is too short

Donrsquot be someone else

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 educationWith 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

status of women bringing

them shoulder to shoulder

with men These particular

measures constitute a pro-

cess which is known as ldquoWomen Empowermentrdquo

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 lsquoEscape and start overrsquo

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

embryos is set up they would

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

My vision reflects its flaming intention

Irsquom steady upon the decision

About which Irsquoll never disclaim

Accepting the outcome never blame

To impulse refer those achieves

Itrsquos your resolve donrsquot quit

There wasnrsquot any lose that grieves

There was just a lesson in it

In the decision of mine

I possess optimism in myself

And so I believe everything

will be fine

Though it may be tough

To perceive ones way to success

A dose of victory isnrsquot enough

Television Pros and Cons

- Soumya Sheth

What do most of the people do these days to entertain

themselvesEveryone 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

However like every good and popular inventions tel-

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 elseItrsquos

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 inven-

tion of science in

the right and bene-

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 donrsquot

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

The night before the final examination appears to all

examinees as the night before the Battle of Waterloo

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-

tion they would be

going about their

daily rounds They

may be found in the parks cafes and restaurants talk-

ing about tips ndashtalking 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 ndashconscious 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

-Prajna VIII-D

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 mustnrsquot be exaggerated

Elegant you be for the universe to learn your versatility

How can you be silent if you donrsquot know your efficiency

One of the values to become successful is simplicity

Through elegance letrsquos spread positivist

Once I had been to the Chocolate Land

Chocolate all around to the reach of my hand

Toffees candies lollies and bars

In my mouth a crunchy munchy war

White dark nutty and sweet

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 chocolate car

Soon after it was 6 oclock

And could hear the doorrsquos knock

I woke up in a hurry

Just to realise that it was a dream

But I surely know you will always love me

I am very lucky Shirley girl

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 ldquoHello My friendrdquo but the elephant replied rude-

ly saying ldquoYou tiny

ant Get off my way

otherwise yoursquoll get

crushed to deathrdquo

Hearing this ant

challenged the elephant sayingrdquo My big friend I can

make you cryrdquo The ant quickly climbed onto the trunk

of the elephant and ran towards its earit 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

ldquoPlease come out of my ear I canrsquot bear the painrdquo As

soon as the ant came out the elephant apologized for

its mistake and didnrsquot tease any animals from that day

Grandparents

-Aditya Patil VIII-E

The best place in vacation

A heaven like destination

Their love for us is endless

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

coolest dude

They yell at our parents

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 ldquoWomen Empowermentrdquo 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

Water is the force behind all the industry agriculture

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

without water No

water no life

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 -Aditys Patil VIII-E

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 askedwhere are

the schools There are no schools here Mother said

dont 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

The Day Irsquoll Never Forget - Saranya Sarangi VII -

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 hadnrsquot the thee

Perished laid the martyrs

Whom our motherland gave birth

I still remember that scaring sight

The scattered limbs I couldnrsquot see

My heart got filled with grief and fright

No Indian could glee

Terribly writhing the soldiers were seen

Some families languished and some

were crying

So loyal to their country they had been

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

I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom

O human Then why do you steal my FREEDOM

Binding me alone in the cage makes me sad

Donrsquot you know caging a bird is bad

Looking at the sky

I wish I could fly

I never disturb you

I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom

O human Then why do you steal my

FREEDOM

Summers in India - Saranya Sarangi VIII

A hot season beginning from April till May is what we

call summer And thatrsquos the basic rule in India But

thatrsquos 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 donrsquot 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-

dents can join different aca-

demic and co-curricular

courses to improve them-

selves Many children even spend time with their fami-

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 lsquoSummers in Indiarsquo

Exams are good or bad

- Nupoor Teli VIIIndashI

In my humble opinionexams are apressure on the stu-

dents They are forced to study and score good

markswhich 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 studybut 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

-daysthe main reason for studying is gaining marks If

there are no marksno career andno success This is the

mindset of 70 people of the worldespecially 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-

verthere are projectssubject-enrichment activi-

tieschapter test sfter every topicnotebookfile submis

sion etcAnd as acherry on top

of the cakewe have the semes-

ter exams of eighty marks as

well What all will the students

do And even if any extra-

curricular activities are being learntthen more extra

studies Just studystudy 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 notThey shouldnt be pressurized for

their marksbut 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 dont pressurize

students for what they dont likeand encourage them in

what they do After allthey 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

Never accept less than best

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 magicalhellip

Life is so magicalhellip

Humility -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D

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 personrsquos 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 personrsquos 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

canrsquot 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 yoursquore not strong enough to

stand up for yourself They think you surrender in-

stead of protesting They will despise and scorn you

but they donrsquot know that you take pleasure in what

you do because they havenrsquot experienced that kind of

joy

So if you do have humility donrsquot 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

Mom -Tanvi Sawant VII-C

Oh mom I came to this beautiful world just because

of youhellip

Mom what would I do without you

Oh mom there are thorns on the way

But you manage to get me awayhellip

Oh mom I canrsquot say how much yoursquore to me

Mom just promise me that yoursquoll and

always be with mehellip

Oh mom this world is incomplete

without you

Just like the sky without itrsquos bright color bluehellip

Oh mom yoursquore the candle that showed the way in the

dark

My dear mom you made my life spark

OUR FUTURE EARTH - Hiya Purswani VIII-B

We all know the present condition of our environment

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 Its 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 its 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 Itrsquos 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

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 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 Itrsquos 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 donʼt

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 quoterdquo 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

And wait the unfailing gray

Oh Sad are winter nights and slow

And sad is a song thatrsquos dumb

And sad it is to lie I know

Another dawn will come

Floods and Destruction

- Nirvi Soni IV-H

India faces occurrence of floods each year in some

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

Good Morning Everyone -Vyomi ThakkarVI - H

Roaming around the ground

With beautiful birdrsquos sound

We donrsquot know if anything will be found

Wersquoll 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

-Shravya Atreya IX-D

Think before you speak

There are hearts you must please

Think before you speak

You canrsquot undo the harm done after you squeak

Think before you speak

You might have done greater harm than you might

think

Think before you speak

There are still places left for you

to seek

Think before you speak

There is a long way to go before

you sleep

Think before you speak

There are hearts you must

please

GLOBAL WARMING - Adhyant Singh VII-F

Global warming refers to the steady rise in the Earthrsquos mean temperature The effect of global

warming had come into sight when polar ice caps started melting this phenomena is called ICE ndash

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 400000000000 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 Earthrsquos surface thus increasing the temperature and also

destroying the ozone layer which prevents the ultraviolet rays of the sun from reaching the earthrsquos 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 (CFCrsquoS) 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

earthrsquos doomsday we all must work together

Itrsquos not too late there is still timehellipBefore the earth ends and we whinehellipSo keep on marching and planting

greens To end Global Warming and Make our planet greenhellip

The Night - Matangi Rajesh VII-D

Its the night

The moon is white

When we switch off the light

What a beautiful sight

After this comes the sun bright

There is no more artificial light

This is the time to start your diet

To go for a run wearing tights

Then comes the evening when

you have snacks light

And fly a big colorful kite

or include your sibling in a pillow fight

Again comes the night

A moon which is white

We switch off the light

A beautiful sight

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 didnt 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 Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane

with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing

speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt 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-

perloops 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 itThe first Hyperloop ndash 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

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

wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-

ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities

chapter test after every topic notebookfile 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

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 lifeI fell that exams

should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate

whether the students are clear with the concepts or

not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but

should be made understand their mistakes Let them

choose their own career options on their own Help

them know what they like to study and what they want

to do in their life So dont pressurize students for

what they dont like and encourage them in what they

do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the

country

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B

Life is all about interactions You meet people and

you interact You observe them consciously or sub-

consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us

more than we even realise Some people leave a last-

ing impression on us and entirely change the course of

life for better or for worse Some people influence us

help us go further and make all the difference

I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-

tial people They have taken care of me ever since I

came into this world They are the ones who wish the

best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-

cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel

no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-

come a part of my personality They are the ones who

helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me

to be better

When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are

the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-

takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique

learning experience It has made me realise how eve-

rything they do has a reason They are the ones who

have taught me the importance of the little things in

life They are the ones who have helped me recognize

and follow my passion The very thought of them not

being a part of my life is scary to the least as without

them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am

today and whatever I have achieved is all because of

them and I am very grateful of that

Eyesight

-Aditi Shenoy VIII-F

The tired little girl went to bed

Recollecting the days bygone

Seeing them in her dreams

As the day she was born

Trying to see the world

With her little eyes

But the sun with his brightness

Wouldnt let her catch the sights

The girl still eager

And curious to see the world around her

Again opened her eyes

But her vision was blurred

Still she did not lose hope

Which flowed through her blood

Encouraging and pushing her

To see the world further

Her heart beating fast

Her enthusiasm increasing

She slowly tried to see

With her eyes continuously blinking

Starting to lose hope

She was ready to give up

But curiosity got the upper hand

And pushed her forward

With her hope again rising

and strength in her eyesight

She is finally seeing the world

With wide open eyes

Conquering the space

-Marisha Nath VIII-C

ldquoThere is no failure in Science it is only continual

effort to conquer the unknown On the way even if we

face failure it rather adds more value to our effort for

our next journey to know the unknownrdquo

Chandrayan-2 Indiarsquos Moon Mission The dream of

entire India to land on moon and become the 4th Na-

tion in the world to put its flag on the soil of moon

after USSR USA amp China

ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launched

Chandrayan-2 on 22nd July 2019 from Bengaluru

(Satish Dhawan Space Center) under the command of

ISRO chief K Shivan It consists of ORBITER

LANDER amp Lunar Rover PRAGYAN Like Chandra-

yan-1(22nd Oct2008) it was Indiarsquos indigenous moon

mission

It touched the Moon Surface on Saturday early morn-

ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-

ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-

ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of

moon it lost contact with the ground station Because

of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be

monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m

(approx) away from its assigned location near

SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still

orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange

signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it

The ORBITER which will remain active for another

12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-

owed portion of the moon for the first time in history

with the help of its high-resolution camera

The entire Nation irrespective of their field of

knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front

of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of

VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true

Indians who always dream progress and development

of their motherland But our heart never accepts this

as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement

for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-

pose of our mission

But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at

this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring

country quoting this as a big failure on part of India

blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos

money on this

Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will

be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to

this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other

nations on such missions

Further I should say that India is not new in the field

of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-

TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975

It was named after famous scientist of ancient India

ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested

for the first time the HELIOCENTRIC THEORY

(Sun at the center and all planets revolve around the

Sun) of the Solar System much earlier than ready for

New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 57

COPERNICUS as believed in the western world

Other countries might have moon on their flags but

we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is

great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are

whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-

rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is

only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the

unknown and its continual application for the benefit

of the mankind)rdquo

Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by

various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-

PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-

cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958

onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as

46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was

attempted out of which only 21 was successful

Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-

tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the

overall attempts conducted by other Nations

USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-

NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was

planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January

SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR

successfully on moon

NASA after many attempts was successful to send

first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th

July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk

on moon

Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-

clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-

SION MANGAL for our next moon mission

The Art of Dharma as per Mahabharata

- Abhishek Singh [Teacher SrSecondary]

Dharma means the Duty or RighteousnessDharma is

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)Its like the Ying and Yang

Duryodhanarsquos envy for the Pandvarsquos Indraprastha and

Yudhishthirarsquos 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

rivalrsquos possessions or eternal sickness to pull the rival

downThe envy and greed are both presents even in

the

modern day world the failure

of communism was caused by

envy among citizens while 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

Dharma is not justice Its difference between Retribu-

tive Justice and forgiveness While a nation with

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 wasnrsquot happy to see me happy

and I noticed a photograph in my phone which be-

mused me ndash not mentioning how frightened I had be-

come

The picture waswashow can I explain The back-

ground was of my house In the photoI was

sleeping Butbut 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 ndash the

noises from outside noises of something creaking and

the wind forcefully blowing through the thin slit of the

window eerily

I was panic-stricken I

quickly switched my

phone off and kept it on

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 lsquoIt is Tues-

day todayrsquo 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 couldnrsquot 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 doesnrsquot 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 wonrsquot 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

- Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D

She lived under a rock

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

From being the young shy girl they saw

But all this struggle slowly had her crumbling

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 lsquolifersquo as its spell

Being myself Irsquoll uplift

Life is too short

Donrsquot be someone else

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 educationWith 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

status of women bringing

them shoulder to shoulder

with men These particular

measures constitute a pro-

cess which is known as ldquoWomen Empowermentrdquo

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 lsquoEscape and start overrsquo

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

embryos is set up they would

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

My vision reflects its flaming intention

Irsquom steady upon the decision

About which Irsquoll never disclaim

Accepting the outcome never blame

To impulse refer those achieves

Itrsquos your resolve donrsquot quit

There wasnrsquot 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

Though it may be tough

To perceive ones way to success

A dose of victory isnrsquot enough

Itrsquos always limitless

Television Pros and Cons

- Soumya Sheth

What do most of the people do these days to entertain

themselvesEveryone 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

However like every good and popular inventions tel-

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 elseItrsquos

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 inven-

tion of science in

the right and bene-

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 donrsquot

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

The night before the final examination appears to all

examinees as the night before the Battle of Waterloo

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-

tion they would be

going about their

daily rounds They

may be found in the parks cafes and restaurants talk-

ing about tips ndashtalking 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 ndashconscious 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

-Prajna VIII-D

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 mustnrsquot be exaggerated

Till you salve someonersquos hurt

Elegant you be for the universe to learn your versatility

How can you be silent if you donrsquot know your efficiency

One of the values to become successful is simplicity

Through elegance letrsquos spread positivist

Chocoland - Talreja Aastha IV-J

Once I had been to the Chocolate Land

Chocolate all around to the reach of my hand

Toffees candies lollies and bars

In my mouth a crunchy munchy war

White dark nutty and sweet

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 chocolate car

Soon after it was 6 oclock

And could hear the doorrsquos knock

I woke up in a hurry

Just to realise that it was a dream

Me Myself

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 ldquoHello My friendrdquo but the elephant replied rude-

ly saying ldquoYou tiny

ant Get off my way

otherwise yoursquoll get

crushed to deathrdquo

Hearing this ant

challenged the elephant sayingrdquo My big friend I can

make you cryrdquo The ant quickly climbed onto the trunk

of the elephant and ran towards its earit 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

ldquoPlease come out of my ear I canrsquot bear the painrdquo As

soon as the ant came out the elephant apologized for

its mistake and didnrsquot tease any animals from that day

Grandparents

-Aditya Patil VIII-E

The best place in vacation

A heaven like destination

Their love for us is endless

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

coolest dude

They yell at our parents

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

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

Water is the force behind all the industry agriculture

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

without water No

water no life

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 -Aditys Patil VIII-E

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 askedwhere are

the schools There are no schools here Mother said

dont 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

The Day Irsquoll Never Forget - Saranya Sarangi VII -

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 hadnrsquot the thee

Perished laid the martyrs

Whom our motherland gave birth

I still remember that scaring sight

The scattered limbs I couldnrsquot see

My heart got filled with grief and fright

No Indian could glee

Terribly writhing the soldiers were seen

Some families languished and some

were crying

So loyal to their country they had been

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

I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom

O human Then why do you steal my FREEDOM

Binding me alone in the cage makes me sad

Donrsquot you know caging a bird is bad

Looking at the sky

I wish I could fly

I never disturb you

I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom

O human Then why do you steal my

FREEDOM

Summers in India - Saranya Sarangi VIII

A hot season beginning from April till May is what we

call summer And thatrsquos the basic rule in India But

thatrsquos 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 donrsquot 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-

dents can join different aca-

demic and co-curricular

courses to improve them-

selves Many children even spend time with their fami-

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 lsquoSummers in Indiarsquo

Exams are good or bad

- Nupoor Teli VIIIndashI

In my humble opinionexams are apressure on the stu-

dents They are forced to study and score good

markswhich 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 studybut 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

-daysthe main reason for studying is gaining marks If

there are no marksno career andno success This is the

mindset of 70 people of the worldespecially 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-

verthere are projectssubject-enrichment activi-

tieschapter test sfter every topicnotebookfile submis

sion etcAnd as acherry on top

of the cakewe have the semes-

ter exams of eighty marks as

well What all will the students

do And even if any extra-

curricular activities are being learntthen more extra

studies Just studystudy 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 notThey shouldnt be pressurized for

their marksbut 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 dont pressurize

students for what they dont likeand encourage them in

what they do After allthey are only the Rising stars of

the country

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

Never accept less than best

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 magicalhellip

Life is so magicalhellip

Humility -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D

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 personrsquos 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 personrsquos 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

canrsquot 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 yoursquore not strong enough to

stand up for yourself They think you surrender in-

stead of protesting They will despise and scorn you

but they donrsquot know that you take pleasure in what

you do because they havenrsquot experienced that kind of

joy

So if you do have humility donrsquot 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

Mom -Tanvi Sawant VII-C

Oh mom I came to this beautiful world just because

of youhellip

Mom what would I do without you

Oh mom there are thorns on the way

But you manage to get me awayhellip

Oh mom I canrsquot say how much yoursquore to me

Mom just promise me that yoursquoll and

always be with mehellip

Oh mom this world is incomplete

without you

Just like the sky without itrsquos bright color bluehellip

Oh mom yoursquore the candle that showed the way in the

dark

My dear mom you made my life spark

I am the EARTH - Deepashikha P VII F

Hello I am the Earth

For me I am the sweetest heart

I provide you with lots of stuff

With food and the mangoes that you love

I give you water soil and Sun

I am special as I am just one

But the humans living on me

Are making me dirty

They are cutting all the trees

And killing all the species helliphellip

They filling me with smoke and death

They are killing themselves

with lack of breath

I am the Earth

I am your mother

Make me the best by pol-

luting me less and less

And preventing my green dress

You can save water

you plant a tree

Make a better home for you on me

Recycle things donrsquot throw them awayhellip

MAKE EVERY DAY AN EARTH

OUR FUTURE EARTH - Hiya Purswani VIII-B

We all know the present condition of our environment

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 Its 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 its 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 Itrsquos 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

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 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 Itrsquos 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 donʼt

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 quoterdquo 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

And wait the unfailing gray

Oh Sad are winter nights and slow

And sad is a song thatrsquos dumb

And sad it is to lie I know

Another dawn will come

Floods and Destruction

- Nirvi Soni IV-H

India faces occurrence of floods each year in some

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

Good Morning Everyone -Vyomi ThakkarVI - H

Come with me wersquoll have some fun

Wersquoll go on a walk

Donrsquot worry will have a great talk

Roaming around the ground

With beautiful birdrsquos sound

We donrsquot know if anything will be found

Wersquoll 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

-Shravya Atreya IX-D

Think before you speak

There are hearts you must please

Think before you speak

You canrsquot undo the harm done after you squeak

Think before you speak

You might have done greater harm than you might

think

Think before you speak

There are still places left for you

to seek

Think before you speak

There is a long way to go before

you sleep

Think before you speak

There are hearts you must

please

Sunrise -Anuradha Singh VII-H

Over the glimmering purple sea

Under the golden sun rise

staring at his own in the

enamelled sea

Everything is fine

With fading stars and rising light

GLOBAL WARMING - Adhyant Singh VII-F

Global warming refers to the steady rise in the Earthrsquos mean temperature The effect of global

warming had come into sight when polar ice caps started melting this phenomena is called ICE ndash

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 400000000000 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 Earthrsquos surface thus increasing the temperature and also

destroying the ozone layer which prevents the ultraviolet rays of the sun from reaching the earthrsquos 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 (CFCrsquoS) 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

earthrsquos doomsday we all must work together

Itrsquos not too late there is still timehellipBefore the earth ends and we whinehellipSo keep on marching and planting

greens To end Global Warming and Make our planet greenhellip

What will happen without Instagram

- Kaavya Chaudhary VII-F

Instagram Instagram Instagram

I was hearing it from everyone

I asked who was the inventor

Nobody knew the answer to my question

Mobiles Mobiles Mobiles

I was able to see them everywhere

I asked who was the inventor

Again nobody was aware

I wondered why was it like so

Why is it they donrsquot know

There was one time we were

engrossed in books

Now we care more about our looks

Instagram wonrsquot give you a job

You will have to study and top

Your fellow followers wonrsquot help either

If you donrsquot have a job no one will bother

I am a tree

- Yashawini Pillai

I am a tree

With a dark green crown

And a thick strong trunk

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

Its the night

The moon is white

When we switch off the light

What a beautiful sight

After this comes the sun bright

There is no more artificial light

This is the time to start your diet

To go for a run wearing tights

Then comes the evening when

you have snacks light

And fly a big colorful kite

or include your sibling in a pillow fight

Again comes the night

A moon which is white

We switch off the light

A beautiful sight

INDIArsquoS 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

Indiarsquos 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 ldquoharness space technology ldquofor 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 ISROrsquos Fat Boyrsquo

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

Indiarsquos 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 didnt 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 Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane

with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing

speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt 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-

perloops 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 itThe first Hyperloop ndash 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

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

wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-

ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities

chapter test after every topic notebookfile 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

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 lifeI fell that exams

should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate

whether the students are clear with the concepts or

not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but

should be made understand their mistakes Let them

choose their own career options on their own Help

them know what they like to study and what they want

to do in their life So dont pressurize students for

what they dont like and encourage them in what they

do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the

country

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B

Life is all about interactions You meet people and

you interact You observe them consciously or sub-

consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us

more than we even realise Some people leave a last-

ing impression on us and entirely change the course of

life for better or for worse Some people influence us

help us go further and make all the difference

I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-

tial people They have taken care of me ever since I

came into this world They are the ones who wish the

best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-

cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel

no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-

come a part of my personality They are the ones who

helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me

to be better

When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are

the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-

takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique

learning experience It has made me realise how eve-

rything they do has a reason They are the ones who

have taught me the importance of the little things in

life They are the ones who have helped me recognize

and follow my passion The very thought of them not

being a part of my life is scary to the least as without

them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am

today and whatever I have achieved is all because of

them and I am very grateful of that

Eyesight

-Aditi Shenoy VIII-F

The tired little girl went to bed

Recollecting the days bygone

Seeing them in her dreams

As the day she was born

Trying to see the world

With her little eyes

But the sun with his brightness

Wouldnt let her catch the sights

The girl still eager

And curious to see the world around her

Again opened her eyes

But her vision was blurred

Still she did not lose hope

Which flowed through her blood

Encouraging and pushing her

To see the world further

Her heart beating fast

Her enthusiasm increasing

She slowly tried to see

With her eyes continuously blinking

Starting to lose hope

She was ready to give up

But curiosity got the upper hand

And pushed her forward

With her hope again rising

and strength in her eyesight

She is finally seeing the world

With wide open eyes

Conquering the space

-Marisha Nath VIII-C

ldquoThere is no failure in Science it is only continual

effort to conquer the unknown On the way even if we

face failure it rather adds more value to our effort for

our next journey to know the unknownrdquo

Chandrayan-2 Indiarsquos Moon Mission The dream of

entire India to land on moon and become the 4th Na-

tion in the world to put its flag on the soil of moon

after USSR USA amp China

ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launched

Chandrayan-2 on 22nd July 2019 from Bengaluru

(Satish Dhawan Space Center) under the command of

ISRO chief K Shivan It consists of ORBITER

LANDER amp Lunar Rover PRAGYAN Like Chandra-

yan-1(22nd Oct2008) it was Indiarsquos indigenous moon

mission

It touched the Moon Surface on Saturday early morn-

ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-

ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-

ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of

moon it lost contact with the ground station Because

of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be

monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m

(approx) away from its assigned location near

SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still

orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange

signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it

The ORBITER which will remain active for another

12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-

owed portion of the moon for the first time in history

with the help of its high-resolution camera

The entire Nation irrespective of their field of

knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front

of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of

VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true

Indians who always dream progress and development

of their motherland But our heart never accepts this

as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement

for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-

pose of our mission

But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at

this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring

country quoting this as a big failure on part of India

blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos

money on this

Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will

be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to

this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other

nations on such missions

Further I should say that India is not new in the field

of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-

TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975

It was named after famous scientist of ancient India

ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested

for the first time the HELIOCENTRIC THEORY

(Sun at the center and all planets revolve around the

Sun) of the Solar System much earlier than ready for

New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 57

COPERNICUS as believed in the western world

Other countries might have moon on their flags but

we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is

great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are

whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-

rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is

only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the

unknown and its continual application for the benefit

of the mankind)rdquo

Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by

various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-

PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-

cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958

onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as

46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was

attempted out of which only 21 was successful

Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-

tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the

overall attempts conducted by other Nations

USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-

NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was

planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January

SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR

successfully on moon

NASA after many attempts was successful to send

first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th

July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk

on moon

Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-

clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-

SION MANGAL for our next moon mission

Travelling Aaryan Aggarwal IX - B

Travelling is an experience It doesnrsquot 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 wonrsquot 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

- Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D

She lived under a rock

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

From being the young shy girl they saw

But all this struggle slowly had her crumbling

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 lsquolifersquo as its spell

Being myself Irsquoll uplift

Life is too short

Donrsquot be someone else

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 educationWith 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

status of women bringing

them shoulder to shoulder

with men These particular

measures constitute a pro-

cess which is known as ldquoWomen Empowermentrdquo

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

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

embryos is set up they would

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

My vision reflects its flaming intention

Irsquom steady upon the decision

About which Irsquoll never disclaim

Accepting the outcome never blame

To impulse refer those achieves

Itrsquos your resolve donrsquot quit

There wasnrsquot 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

Though it may be tough

To perceive ones way to success

A dose of victory isnrsquot enough

Itrsquos always limitless

Television Pros and Cons

- Soumya Sheth

What do most of the people do these days to entertain

themselvesEveryone 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

However like every good and popular inventions tel-

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 elseItrsquos

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 inven-

tion of science in

the right and bene-

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 donrsquot

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

The night before the final examination appears to all

examinees as the night before the Battle of Waterloo

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-

tion they would be

going about their

daily rounds They

may be found in the parks cafes and restaurants talk-

ing about tips ndashtalking 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 ndashconscious 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

-Prajna VIII-D

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 mustnrsquot be exaggerated

Till you salve someonersquos hurt

Elegant you be for the universe to learn your versatility

How can you be silent if you donrsquot know your efficiency

One of the values to become successful is simplicity

Through elegance letrsquos spread positivist

Chocoland - Talreja Aastha IV-J

Once I had been to the Chocolate Land

Chocolate all around to the reach of my hand

Toffees candies lollies and bars

In my mouth a crunchy munchy war

White dark nutty and sweet

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 chocolate car

Soon after it was 6 oclock

And could hear the doorrsquos 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 ldquoHello My friendrdquo but the elephant replied rude-

ly saying ldquoYou tiny

ant Get off my way

otherwise yoursquoll get

crushed to deathrdquo

Hearing this ant

challenged the elephant sayingrdquo My big friend I can

make you cryrdquo The ant quickly climbed onto the trunk

of the elephant and ran towards its earit 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

ldquoPlease come out of my ear I canrsquot bear the painrdquo As

soon as the ant came out the elephant apologized for

its mistake and didnrsquot tease any animals from that day

Grandparents

-Aditya Patil VIII-E

The best place in vacation

A heaven like destination

Their love for us is endless

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

coolest dude

They yell at our parents

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 ldquoWomen Empowermentrdquo 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

Water is the force behind all the industry agriculture

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

without water No

water no life

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 -Aditys Patil VIII-E

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 askedwhere are

the schools There are no schools here Mother said

dont 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

The Day Irsquoll Never Forget - Saranya Sarangi VII -

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 hadnrsquot the thee

Perished laid the martyrs

Whom our motherland gave birth

I still remember that scaring sight

The scattered limbs I couldnrsquot see

My heart got filled with grief and fright

No Indian could glee

Terribly writhing the soldiers were seen

Some families languished and some

were crying

So loyal to their country they had been

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

I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom

O human Then why do you steal my FREEDOM

Binding me alone in the cage makes me sad

Donrsquot you know caging a bird is bad

Looking at the sky

I wish I could fly

I never disturb you

I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom

O human Then why do you steal my

FREEDOM

Summers in India - Saranya Sarangi VIII

A hot season beginning from April till May is what we

call summer And thatrsquos the basic rule in India But

thatrsquos 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 donrsquot 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-

dents can join different aca-

demic and co-curricular

courses to improve them-

selves Many children even spend time with their fami-

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 lsquoSummers in Indiarsquo

Exams are good or bad

- Nupoor Teli VIIIndashI

In my humble opinionexams are apressure on the stu-

dents They are forced to study and score good

markswhich 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 studybut 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

-daysthe main reason for studying is gaining marks If

there are no marksno career andno success This is the

mindset of 70 people of the worldespecially 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-

verthere are projectssubject-enrichment activi-

tieschapter test sfter every topicnotebookfile submis

sion etcAnd as acherry on top

of the cakewe have the semes-

ter exams of eighty marks as

well What all will the students

do And even if any extra-

curricular activities are being learntthen more extra

studies Just studystudy 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 notThey shouldnt be pressurized for

their marksbut 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 dont pressurize

students for what they dont likeand encourage them in

what they do After allthey 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

Never accept less than best

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 magicalhellip

Life is so magicalhellip

Humility -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D

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 personrsquos 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 personrsquos 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

canrsquot 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 yoursquore not strong enough to

stand up for yourself They think you surrender in-

stead of protesting They will despise and scorn you

but they donrsquot know that you take pleasure in what

you do because they havenrsquot experienced that kind of

joy

So if you do have humility donrsquot 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

Mom -Tanvi Sawant VII-C

Oh mom I came to this beautiful world just because

without you

Just like the sky without itrsquos bright color bluehellip

Oh mom yoursquore the candle that showed the way in the

dark

OUR FUTURE EARTH - Hiya Purswani VIII-B

We all know the present condition of our environment

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 Its 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 its 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 Itrsquos 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

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 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 Itrsquos 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 donʼt

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 quoterdquo 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

Floods and Destruction

- Nirvi Soni IV-H

India faces occurrence of floods each year in some

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

There is a long way to go before

you sleep

Think before you speak

There are hearts you must

please

GLOBAL WARMING - Adhyant Singh VII-F

Global warming refers to the steady rise in the Earthrsquos mean temperature The effect of global

warming had come into sight when polar ice caps started melting this phenomena is called ICE ndash

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 400000000000 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 Earthrsquos surface thus increasing the temperature and also

destroying the ozone layer which prevents the ultraviolet rays of the sun from reaching the earthrsquos 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 (CFCrsquoS) 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

earthrsquos doomsday we all must work together

Itrsquos not too late there is still timehellipBefore the earth ends and we whinehellipSo keep on marching and planting

greens To end Global Warming and Make our planet greenhellip

The Night - Matangi Rajesh VII-D

The moon is white

When we switch off the light

What a beautiful sight

After this comes the sun bright

There is no more artificial light

This is the time to start your diet

To go for a run wearing tights

Then comes the evening when

you have snacks light

And fly a big colorful kite

or include your sibling in a pillow fight

Again comes the night

A moon which is white

We switch off the light

A beautiful sight

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 didnt 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 Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane

with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing

speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt 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-

perloops 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 itThe first Hyperloop ndash 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

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

wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-

ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities

chapter test after every topic notebookfile 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

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 lifeI fell that exams

should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate

whether the students are clear with the concepts or

not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but

should be made understand their mistakes Let them

choose their own career options on their own Help

them know what they like to study and what they want

to do in their life So dont pressurize students for

what they dont like and encourage them in what they

do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the

country

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B

Life is all about interactions You meet people and

you interact You observe them consciously or sub-

consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us

more than we even realise Some people leave a last-

ing impression on us and entirely change the course of

life for better or for worse Some people influence us

help us go further and make all the difference

I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-

tial people They have taken care of me ever since I

came into this world They are the ones who wish the

best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-

cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel

no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-

come a part of my personality They are the ones who

helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me

to be better

When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are

the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-

takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique

learning experience It has made me realise how eve-

rything they do has a reason They are the ones who

have taught me the importance of the little things in

life They are the ones who have helped me recognize

and follow my passion The very thought of them not

being a part of my life is scary to the least as without

them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am

today and whatever I have achieved is all because of

them and I am very grateful of that

Eyesight

-Aditi Shenoy VIII-F

The tired little girl went to bed

Recollecting the days bygone

Seeing them in her dreams

As the day she was born

Trying to see the world

With her little eyes

But the sun with his brightness

Wouldnt let her catch the sights

The girl still eager

And curious to see the world around her

Again opened her eyes

But her vision was blurred

Still she did not lose hope

Which flowed through her blood

Encouraging and pushing her

To see the world further

Her heart beating fast

Her enthusiasm increasing

She slowly tried to see

With her eyes continuously blinking

Starting to lose hope

She was ready to give up

But curiosity got the upper hand

And pushed her forward

With her hope again rising

and strength in her eyesight

She is finally seeing the world

With wide open eyes

Conquering the space

-Marisha Nath VIII-C

ldquoThere is no failure in Science it is only continual

effort to conquer the unknown On the way even if we

face failure it rather adds more value to our effort for

our next journey to know the unknownrdquo

Chandrayan-2 Indiarsquos Moon Mission The dream of

entire India to land on moon and become the 4th Na-

tion in the world to put its flag on the soil of moon

after USSR USA amp China

ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launched

Chandrayan-2 on 22nd July 2019 from Bengaluru

(Satish Dhawan Space Center) under the command of

ISRO chief K Shivan It consists of ORBITER

LANDER amp Lunar Rover PRAGYAN Like Chandra-

yan-1(22nd Oct2008) it was Indiarsquos indigenous moon

mission

It touched the Moon Surface on Saturday early morn-

ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-

ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-

ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of

moon it lost contact with the ground station Because

of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be

monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m

(approx) away from its assigned location near

SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still

orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange

signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it

The ORBITER which will remain active for another

12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-

owed portion of the moon for the first time in history

with the help of its high-resolution camera

The entire Nation irrespective of their field of

knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front

of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of

VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true

Indians who always dream progress and development

of their motherland But our heart never accepts this

as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement

for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-

pose of our mission

But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at

this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring

country quoting this as a big failure on part of India

blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos

money on this

Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will

be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to

this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other

nations on such missions

Further I should say that India is not new in the field

of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-

TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975

It was named after famous scientist of ancient India

ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested

for the first time the HELIOCENTRIC THEORY

(Sun at the center and all planets revolve around the

Sun) of the Solar System much earlier than ready for

New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 57

COPERNICUS as believed in the western world

Other countries might have moon on their flags but

we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is

great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are

whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-

rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is

only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the

unknown and its continual application for the benefit

of the mankind)rdquo

Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by

various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-

PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-

cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958

onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as

46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was

attempted out of which only 21 was successful

Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-

tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the

overall attempts conducted by other Nations

USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-

NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was

planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January

SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR

successfully on moon

NASA after many attempts was successful to send

first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th

July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk

on moon

Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-

clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-

SION MANGAL for our next moon mission

Travelling Aaryan Aggarwal IX - B

Travelling is an experience It doesnrsquot 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 wonrsquot 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

- Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D

She lived under a rock

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

From being the young shy girl they saw

But all this struggle slowly had her crumbling

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 lsquolifersquo as its spell

Being myself Irsquoll uplift

Life is too short

Donrsquot be someone else

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 educationWith 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

status of women bringing

them shoulder to shoulder

with men These particular

measures constitute a pro-

cess which is known as ldquoWomen Empowermentrdquo

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 lsquoEscape and start overrsquo

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

embryos is set up they would

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

My vision reflects its flaming intention

Irsquom steady upon the decision

About which Irsquoll never disclaim

Accepting the outcome never blame

To impulse refer those achieves

Itrsquos your resolve donrsquot quit

There wasnrsquot any lose that grieves

There was just a lesson in it

In the decision of mine

I possess optimism in myself

And so I believe everything

will be fine

Though it may be tough

To perceive ones way to success

A dose of victory isnrsquot enough

Television Pros and Cons

- Soumya Sheth

What do most of the people do these days to entertain

themselvesEveryone 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

However like every good and popular inventions tel-

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 elseItrsquos

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 inven-

tion of science in

the right and bene-

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 donrsquot

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

The night before the final examination appears to all

examinees as the night before the Battle of Waterloo

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-

tion they would be

going about their

daily rounds They

may be found in the parks cafes and restaurants talk-

ing about tips ndashtalking 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 ndashconscious 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

-Prajna VIII-D

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 mustnrsquot be exaggerated

Till you salve someonersquos hurt

Elegant you be for the universe to learn your versatility

How can you be silent if you donrsquot know your efficiency

One of the values to become successful is simplicity

Through elegance letrsquos spread positivist

Chocoland - Talreja Aastha IV-J

Once I had been to the Chocolate Land

Chocolate all around to the reach of my hand

Toffees candies lollies and bars

In my mouth a crunchy munchy war

White dark nutty and sweet

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 chocolate car

Soon after it was 6 oclock

And could hear the doorrsquos knock

I woke up in a hurry

Just to realise that it was a dream

Me Myself

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 ldquoHello My friendrdquo but the elephant replied rude-

ly saying ldquoYou tiny

ant Get off my way

otherwise yoursquoll get

crushed to deathrdquo

Hearing this ant

challenged the elephant sayingrdquo My big friend I can

make you cryrdquo The ant quickly climbed onto the trunk

of the elephant and ran towards its earit 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

ldquoPlease come out of my ear I canrsquot bear the painrdquo As

soon as the ant came out the elephant apologized for

its mistake and didnrsquot tease any animals from that day

Grandparents

-Aditya Patil VIII-E

The best place in vacation

A heaven like destination

Their love for us is endless

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

coolest dude

They yell at our parents

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

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

Water is the force behind all the industry agriculture

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

without water No

water no life

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 -Aditys Patil VIII-E

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 askedwhere are

the schools There are no schools here Mother said

dont 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

The Day Irsquoll Never Forget - Saranya Sarangi VII -

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 hadnrsquot the thee

Perished laid the martyrs

Whom our motherland gave birth

I still remember that scaring sight

The scattered limbs I couldnrsquot see

My heart got filled with grief and fright

No Indian could glee

Terribly writhing the soldiers were seen

Some families languished and some

were crying

So loyal to their country they had been

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

I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom

O human Then why do you steal my FREEDOM

Binding me alone in the cage makes me sad

Donrsquot you know caging a bird is bad

Looking at the sky

I wish I could fly

I never disturb you

I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom

Summers in India - Saranya Sarangi VIII

A hot season beginning from April till May is what we

call summer And thatrsquos the basic rule in India But

thatrsquos 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 donrsquot 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-

dents can join different aca-

demic and co-curricular

courses to improve them-

selves Many children even spend time with their fami-

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 lsquoSummers in Indiarsquo

Exams are good or bad

- Nupoor Teli VIIIndashI

In my humble opinionexams are apressure on the stu-

dents They are forced to study and score good

markswhich 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 studybut 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

-daysthe main reason for studying is gaining marks If

there are no marksno career andno success This is the

mindset of 70 people of the worldespecially 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-

verthere are projectssubject-enrichment activi-

tieschapter test sfter every topicnotebookfile submis

sion etcAnd as acherry on top

of the cakewe have the semes-

ter exams of eighty marks as

well What all will the students

do And even if any extra-

curricular activities are being learntthen more extra

studies Just studystudy 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 notThey shouldnt be pressurized for

their marksbut 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 dont pressurize

students for what they dont likeand encourage them in

what they do After allthey 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

Never accept less than best

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 magicalhellip

Life is so magicalhellip

Humility -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D

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 personrsquos 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 personrsquos 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

canrsquot 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 yoursquore not strong enough to

stand up for yourself They think you surrender in-

stead of protesting They will despise and scorn you

but they donrsquot know that you take pleasure in what

you do because they havenrsquot experienced that kind of

joy

So if you do have humility donrsquot 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

Mom -Tanvi Sawant VII-C

Oh mom I came to this beautiful world just because

of youhellip

Mom what would I do without you

Oh mom there are thorns on the way

But you manage to get me awayhellip

Oh mom I canrsquot say how much yoursquore to me

Mom just promise me that yoursquoll and

always be with mehellip

Oh mom this world is incomplete

without you

Just like the sky without itrsquos bright color bluehellip

Oh mom yoursquore the candle that showed the way in the

dark

My dear mom you made my life spark

Hello I am the Earth

For me I am the sweetest heart

I provide you with lots of stuff

With food and the mangoes that you love

I give you water soil and Sun

I am special as I am just one

And killing all the species helliphellip

They filling me with smoke and death

They are killing themselves

I am your mother

Make me the best by pol-

luting me less and less

And preventing my green dress

You can save water

you plant a tree

Make a better home for you on me

Recycle things donrsquot throw them awayhellip

OUR FUTURE EARTH - Hiya Purswani VIII-B

We all know the present condition of our environment

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 Its 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 its 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 Itrsquos 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

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 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 Itrsquos 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 donʼt

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 quoterdquo 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

And wait the unfailing gray

Oh Sad are winter nights and slow

And sad is a song thatrsquos dumb

And sad it is to lie I know

Another dawn will come

Floods and Destruction

- Nirvi Soni IV-H

India faces occurrence of floods each year in some

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

Good Morning Everyone -Vyomi ThakkarVI - H

Come with me wersquoll have some fun

Wersquoll go on a walk

Donrsquot worry will have a great talk

Roaming around the ground

With beautiful birdrsquos sound

We donrsquot know if anything will be found

Wersquoll 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

-Shravya Atreya IX-D

Think before you speak

There are hearts you must please

Think before you speak

You canrsquot undo the harm done after you squeak

Think before you speak

You might have done greater harm than you might

think

Think before you speak

There are still places left for you

to seek

Think before you speak

There is a long way to go before

you sleep

Think before you speak

There are hearts you must

please

Sunrise -Anuradha Singh VII-H

Over the glimmering purple sea

Under the golden sun rise

enamelled sea

Everything is fine

With fading stars and rising light

GLOBAL WARMING - Adhyant Singh VII-F

Global warming refers to the steady rise in the Earthrsquos mean temperature The effect of global

warming had come into sight when polar ice caps started melting this phenomena is called ICE ndash

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 400000000000 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 Earthrsquos surface thus increasing the temperature and also

destroying the ozone layer which prevents the ultraviolet rays of the sun from reaching the earthrsquos 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 (CFCrsquoS) 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

earthrsquos doomsday we all must work together

Itrsquos not too late there is still timehellipBefore the earth ends and we whinehellipSo keep on marching and planting

greens To end Global Warming and Make our planet greenhellip

What will happen without Instagram

Instagram Instagram Instagram

I was hearing it from everyone

I asked who was the inventor

Nobody knew the answer to my question

Mobiles Mobiles Mobiles

I was able to see them everywhere

I asked who was the inventor

Again nobody was aware

I wondered why was it like so

Why is it they donrsquot know

There was one time we were

engrossed in books

Now we care more about our looks

Instagram wonrsquot give you a job

You will have to study and top

Your fellow followers wonrsquot help either

If you donrsquot 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

Its the night

The moon is white

When we switch off the light

What a beautiful sight

After this comes the sun bright

There is no more artificial light

This is the time to start your diet

To go for a run wearing tights

Then comes the evening when

you have snacks light

And fly a big colorful kite

or include your sibling in a pillow fight

Again comes the night

A moon which is white

We switch off the light

A beautiful sight

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

Indiarsquos 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 ldquoharness space technology ldquofor 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 ISROrsquos Fat Boyrsquo

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

Indiarsquos 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 didnt 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 Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane

with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing

speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt 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-

perloops 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 itThe first Hyperloop ndash 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

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

wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-

ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities

chapter test after every topic notebookfile 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

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 lifeI fell that exams

should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate

whether the students are clear with the concepts or

not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but

should be made understand their mistakes Let them

choose their own career options on their own Help

them know what they like to study and what they want

to do in their life So dont pressurize students for

what they dont like and encourage them in what they

do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the

country

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B

Life is all about interactions You meet people and

you interact You observe them consciously or sub-

consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us

more than we even realise Some people leave a last-

ing impression on us and entirely change the course of

life for better or for worse Some people influence us

help us go further and make all the difference

I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-

tial people They have taken care of me ever since I

came into this world They are the ones who wish the

best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-

cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel

no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-

come a part of my personality They are the ones who

helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me

to be better

When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are

the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-

takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique

learning experience It has made me realise how eve-

rything they do has a reason They are the ones who

have taught me the importance of the little things in

life They are the ones who have helped me recognize

and follow my passion The very thought of them not

being a part of my life is scary to the least as without

them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am

today and whatever I have achieved is all because of

them and I am very grateful of that

Eyesight

-Aditi Shenoy VIII-F

The tired little girl went to bed

Recollecting the days bygone

Seeing them in her dreams

As the day she was born

Trying to see the world

With her little eyes

But the sun with his brightness

Wouldnt let her catch the sights

The girl still eager

And curious to see the world around her

Again opened her eyes

But her vision was blurred

Still she did not lose hope

Which flowed through her blood

Encouraging and pushing her

To see the world further

Her heart beating fast

Her enthusiasm increasing

She slowly tried to see

With her eyes continuously blinking

Starting to lose hope

She was ready to give up

But curiosity got the upper hand

And pushed her forward

With her hope again rising

and strength in her eyesight

She is finally seeing the world

With wide open eyes

Conquering the space

ldquoThere is no failure in Science it is only continual

effort to conquer the unknown On the way even if we

face failure it rather adds more value to our effort for

our next journey to know the unknownrdquo

Chandrayan-2 Indiarsquos Moon Mission The dream of

entire India to land on moon and become the 4th Na-

tion in the world to put its flag on the soil of moon

after USSR USA amp China

ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launched

Chandrayan-2 on 22nd July 2019 from Bengaluru

(Satish Dhawan Space Center) under the command of

ISRO chief K Shivan It consists of ORBITER

LANDER amp Lunar Rover PRAGYAN Like Chandra-

yan-1(22nd Oct2008) it was Indiarsquos indigenous moon

mission

It touched the Moon Surface on Saturday early morn-

ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-

ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-

ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of

moon it lost contact with the ground station Because

of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be

monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m

(approx) away from its assigned location near

SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still

orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange

signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it

The ORBITER which will remain active for another

12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-

owed portion of the moon for the first time in history

with the help of its high-resolution camera

The entire Nation irrespective of their field of

knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front

of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of

VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true

Indians who always dream progress and development

of their motherland But our heart never accepts this

as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement

for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-

pose of our mission

But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at

this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring

country quoting this as a big failure on part of India

blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos

money on this

Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will

be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to

this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other

nations on such missions

Further I should say that India is not new in the field

of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-

TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975

It was named after famous scientist of ancient India

ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested

for the first time the HELIOCENTRIC THEORY

(Sun at the center and all planets revolve around the

Sun) of the Solar System much earlier than ready for

New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 57

COPERNICUS as believed in the western world

Other countries might have moon on their flags but

we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is

great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are

whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-

rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is

only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the

unknown and its continual application for the benefit

of the mankind)rdquo

Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by

various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-

PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-

cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958

onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as

46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was

attempted out of which only 21 was successful

Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-

tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the

overall attempts conducted by other Nations

USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-

NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was

planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January

SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR

successfully on moon

NASA after many attempts was successful to send

first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th

July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk

on moon

Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-

clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-

SION MANGAL for our next moon mission

Women Empowerment - Devangi Dongre VII-B

The abilities of women in making decisions educa-

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 lsquoEscape and start overrsquo

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

embryos is set up they would

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

My vision reflects its flaming intention

Irsquom steady upon the decision

About which Irsquoll never disclaim

Accepting the outcome never blame

To impulse refer those achieves

Itrsquos your resolve donrsquot quit

In the decision of mine

I possess optimism in myself

And so I believe everything

will be fine

Though it may be tough

To perceive ones way to success

A dose of victory isnrsquot enough

Television Pros and Cons

- Soumya Sheth

What do most of the people do these days to entertain

themselvesEveryone 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

However like every good and popular inventions tel-

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 elseItrsquos

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 inven-

tion of science in

the right and bene-

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 donrsquot

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

The night before the final examination appears to all

examinees as the night before the Battle of Waterloo

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-

tion they would be

going about their

daily rounds They

may be found in the parks cafes and restaurants talk-

ing about tips ndashtalking 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 ndashconscious 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

-Prajna VIII-D

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 mustnrsquot be exaggerated

Till you salve someonersquos hurt

Elegant you be for the universe to learn your versatility

How can you be silent if you donrsquot know your efficiency

One of the values to become successful is simplicity

Through elegance letrsquos spread positivist

Once I had been to the Chocolate Land

Chocolate all around to the reach of my hand

Toffees candies lollies and bars

In my mouth a crunchy munchy war

White dark nutty and sweet

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 chocolate car

Soon after it was 6 oclock

And could hear the doorrsquos 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 ldquoHello My friendrdquo but the elephant replied rude-

ly saying ldquoYou tiny

ant Get off my way

otherwise yoursquoll get

crushed to deathrdquo

Hearing this ant

challenged the elephant sayingrdquo My big friend I can

make you cryrdquo The ant quickly climbed onto the trunk

of the elephant and ran towards its earit 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

ldquoPlease come out of my ear I canrsquot bear the painrdquo As

soon as the ant came out the elephant apologized for

its mistake and didnrsquot tease any animals from that day

Grandparents

-Aditya Patil VIII-E

The best place in vacation

A heaven like destination

Their love for us is endless

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

coolest dude

They yell at our parents

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 ldquoWomen Empowermentrdquo Providing better education and employment opportunities to women

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

Water is the force behind all the industry agriculture

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

without water No

water no life

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 -Aditys Patil VIII-E

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 askedwhere are

the schools There are no schools here Mother said

dont 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

The Day Irsquoll Never Forget - Saranya Sarangi VII -

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 hadnrsquot the thee

Perished laid the martyrs

Whom our motherland gave birth

I still remember that scaring sight

The scattered limbs I couldnrsquot see

My heart got filled with grief and fright

No Indian could glee

Terribly writhing the soldiers were seen

Some families languished and some

were crying

So loyal to their country they had been

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

I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom

O human Then why do you steal my FREEDOM

Binding me alone in the cage makes me sad

Donrsquot you know caging a bird is bad

Looking at the sky

I wish I could fly

I never disturb you

I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom

O human Then why do you steal my

FREEDOM

Summers in India - Saranya Sarangi VIII

A hot season beginning from April till May is what we

call summer And thatrsquos the basic rule in India But

thatrsquos 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 donrsquot 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-

dents can join different aca-

demic and co-curricular

courses to improve them-

selves Many children even spend time with their fami-

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 lsquoSummers in Indiarsquo

Exams are good or bad

- Nupoor Teli VIIIndashI

In my humble opinionexams are apressure on the stu-

dents They are forced to study and score good

markswhich 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 studybut 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

-daysthe main reason for studying is gaining marks If

there are no marksno career andno success This is the

mindset of 70 people of the worldespecially 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-

verthere are projectssubject-enrichment activi-

tieschapter test sfter every topicnotebookfile submis

sion etcAnd as acherry on top

of the cakewe have the semes-

ter exams of eighty marks as

well What all will the students

do And even if any extra-

curricular activities are being learntthen more extra

studies Just studystudy 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 notThey shouldnt be pressurized for

their marksbut 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 dont pressurize

students for what they dont likeand encourage them in

what they do After allthey 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

Never accept less than best

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 magicalhellip

Life is so magicalhellip

Humility -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D

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 personrsquos 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 personrsquos 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

canrsquot 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 yoursquore not strong enough to

stand up for yourself They think you surrender in-

stead of protesting They will despise and scorn you

but they donrsquot know that you take pleasure in what

you do because they havenrsquot experienced that kind of

joy

So if you do have humility donrsquot 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

Mom -Tanvi Sawant VII-C

OUR FUTURE EARTH - Hiya Purswani VIII-B

We all know the present condition of our environment

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 Its 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 its 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 Itrsquos 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

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 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 Itrsquos 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 donʼt

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 quoterdquo 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

Floods and Destruction

- Nirvi Soni IV-H

India faces occurrence of floods each year in some

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

There is a long way to go before

you sleep

Think before you speak

There are hearts you must

please

GLOBAL WARMING - Adhyant Singh VII-F

Global warming refers to the steady rise in the Earthrsquos mean temperature The effect of global

warming had come into sight when polar ice caps started melting this phenomena is called ICE ndash

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 400000000000 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 Earthrsquos surface thus increasing the temperature and also

destroying the ozone layer which prevents the ultraviolet rays of the sun from reaching the earthrsquos 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 (CFCrsquoS) 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

earthrsquos doomsday we all must work together

Itrsquos not too late there is still timehellipBefore the earth ends and we whinehellipSo keep on marching and planting

greens To end Global Warming and Make our planet greenhellip

Then comes the evening when

you have snacks light

And fly a big colorful kite

or include your sibling in a pillow fight

Again comes the night

A moon which is white

We switch off the light

A beautiful sight

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 didnt 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 Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane

with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing

speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt 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-

perloops 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 itThe first Hyperloop ndash 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

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

wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-

ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities

chapter test after every topic notebookfile 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

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 lifeI fell that exams

should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate

whether the students are clear with the concepts or

not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but

should be made understand their mistakes Let them

choose their own career options on their own Help

them know what they like to study and what they want

to do in their life So dont pressurize students for

what they dont like and encourage them in what they

do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the

country

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B

Life is all about interactions You meet people and

you interact You observe them consciously or sub-

consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us

more than we even realise Some people leave a last-

ing impression on us and entirely change the course of

life for better or for worse Some people influence us

help us go further and make all the difference

I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-

tial people They have taken care of me ever since I

came into this world They are the ones who wish the

best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-

cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel

no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-

come a part of my personality They are the ones who

helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me

to be better

When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are

the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-

takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique

learning experience It has made me realise how eve-

rything they do has a reason They are the ones who

have taught me the importance of the little things in

life They are the ones who have helped me recognize

and follow my passion The very thought of them not

being a part of my life is scary to the least as without

them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am

today and whatever I have achieved is all because of

them and I am very grateful of that

Eyesight

-Aditi Shenoy VIII-F

The tired little girl went to bed

Recollecting the days bygone

Seeing them in her dreams

As the day she was born

Trying to see the world

With her little eyes

But the sun with his brightness

Wouldnt let her catch the sights

The girl still eager

And curious to see the world around her

Again opened her eyes

But her vision was blurred

Still she did not lose hope

Which flowed through her blood

Encouraging and pushing her

To see the world further

Her heart beating fast

Her enthusiasm increasing

She slowly tried to see

With her eyes continuously blinking

Starting to lose hope

She was ready to give up

But curiosity got the upper hand

And pushed her forward

With her hope again rising

and strength in her eyesight

She is finally seeing the world

With wide open eyes

Conquering the space

-Marisha Nath VIII-C

ldquoThere is no failure in Science it is only continual

effort to conquer the unknown On the way even if we

face failure it rather adds more value to our effort for

our next journey to know the unknownrdquo

Chandrayan-2 Indiarsquos Moon Mission The dream of

entire India to land on moon and become the 4th Na-

tion in the world to put its flag on the soil of moon

after USSR USA amp China

ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launched

Chandrayan-2 on 22nd July 2019 from Bengaluru

(Satish Dhawan Space Center) under the command of

ISRO chief K Shivan It consists of ORBITER

LANDER amp Lunar Rover PRAGYAN Like Chandra-

yan-1(22nd Oct2008) it was Indiarsquos indigenous moon

mission

It touched the Moon Surface on Saturday early morn-

ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-

ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-

ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of

moon it lost contact with the ground station Because

of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be

monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m

(approx) away from its assigned location near

SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still

orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange

signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it

The ORBITER which will remain active for another

12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-

owed portion of the moon for the first time in history

with the help of its high-resolution camera

The entire Nation irrespective of their field of

knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front

of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of

VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true

Indians who always dream progress and development

of their motherland But our heart never accepts this

as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement

for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-

pose of our mission

But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at

this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring

country quoting this as a big failure on part of India

blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos

money on this

Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will

be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to

this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other

nations on such missions

Further I should say that India is not new in the field

of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-

TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975

It was named after famous scientist of ancient India

ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested

for the first time the HELIOCENTRIC THEORY

(Sun at the center and all planets revolve around the

Sun) of the Solar System much earlier than ready for

New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 57

COPERNICUS as believed in the western world

Other countries might have moon on their flags but

we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is

great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are

whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-

rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is

only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the

unknown and its continual application for the benefit

of the mankind)rdquo

Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by

various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-

PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-

cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958

onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as

46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was

attempted out of which only 21 was successful

Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-

tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the

overall attempts conducted by other Nations

USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-

NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was

planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January

SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR

successfully on moon

NASA after many attempts was successful to send

first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th

July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk

on moon

Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-

clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-

SION MANGAL for our next moon mission

Make the Choice

-Nidhi Mishra VIII-G

My vision reflects its flaming intention

Irsquom steady upon the decision

About which Irsquoll never disclaim

Accepting the outcome never blame

To impulse refer those achieves

Itrsquos your resolve donrsquot quit

There wasnrsquot 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

Though it may be tough

To perceive ones way to success

A dose of victory isnrsquot enough

Itrsquos always limitless

Television Pros and Cons

- Soumya Sheth

What do most of the people do these days to entertain

themselvesEveryone 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

However like every good and popular inventions tel-

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 elseItrsquos

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 inven-

tion of science in

the right and bene-

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 donrsquot

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

The night before the final examination appears to all

examinees as the night before the Battle of Waterloo

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-

tion they would be

going about their

daily rounds They

may be found in the parks cafes and restaurants talk-

ing about tips ndashtalking 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 ndashconscious 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

-Prajna VIII-D

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 mustnrsquot be exaggerated

Till you salve someonersquos hurt

Elegant you be for the universe to learn your versatility

How can you be silent if you donrsquot know your efficiency

One of the values to become successful is simplicity

Through elegance letrsquos spread positivist

Chocoland - Talreja Aastha IV-J

Once I had been to the Chocolate Land

Chocolate all around to the reach of my hand

Toffees candies lollies and bars

In my mouth a crunchy munchy war

White dark nutty and sweet

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 chocolate car

Soon after it was 6 oclock

And could hear the doorrsquos knock

I woke up in a hurry

Just to realise that it was a dream

Me Myself

- Tirtha Kiran Keni VII- G

I am naughty girl

With a black shiny beautiful curl

Darling of my parents and Heart of my grandparents

More than a friend of my sister who is like lovely

twister

I had a memorable childhood which was best better

and good

nappy

I never know in future what I will be and where I will

be

But I surely know you will always love me

I am very lucky Shirley girl

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 ldquoHello My friendrdquo but the elephant replied rude-

ly saying ldquoYou tiny

ant Get off my way

otherwise yoursquoll get

crushed to deathrdquo

Hearing this ant

challenged the elephant sayingrdquo My big friend I can

make you cryrdquo The ant quickly climbed onto the trunk

of the elephant and ran towards its earit 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

ldquoPlease come out of my ear I canrsquot bear the painrdquo As

soon as the ant came out the elephant apologized for

its mistake and didnrsquot tease any animals from that day

Grandparents

-Aditya Patil VIII-E

The best place in vacation

A heaven like destination

Their love for us is endless

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

coolest dude

They yell at our parents

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 ldquoWomen Empowermentrdquo 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

Water is the force behind all the industry agriculture

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

without water No

water no life

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 -Aditys Patil VIII-E

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 askedwhere are

the schools There are no schools here Mother said

dont 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

The Day Irsquoll Never Forget - Saranya Sarangi VII -

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 hadnrsquot the thee

Perished laid the martyrs

Whom our motherland gave birth

I still remember that scaring sight

The scattered limbs I couldnrsquot see

My heart got filled with grief and fright

No Indian could glee

Terribly writhing the soldiers were seen

Some families languished and some

were crying

So loyal to their country they had been

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

I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom

O human Then why do you steal my FREEDOM

Binding me alone in the cage makes me sad

Donrsquot you know caging a bird is bad

Looking at the sky

I wish I could fly

I never disturb you

I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom

O human Then why do you steal my

FREEDOM

Summers in India - Saranya Sarangi VIII

A hot season beginning from April till May is what we

call summer And thatrsquos the basic rule in India But

thatrsquos 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 donrsquot 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-

dents can join different aca-

demic and co-curricular

courses to improve them-

selves Many children even spend time with their fami-

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 lsquoSummers in Indiarsquo

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

Never accept less than best

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 magicalhellip

Life is so magicalhellip

Humility -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D

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 personrsquos 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 personrsquos 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

canrsquot 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 yoursquore not strong enough to

stand up for yourself They think you surrender in-

stead of protesting They will despise and scorn you

but they donrsquot know that you take pleasure in what

you do because they havenrsquot experienced that kind of

joy

So if you do have humility donrsquot 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

Mom -Tanvi Sawant VII-C

Oh mom I came to this beautiful world just because

of youhellip

Mom what would I do without you

Oh mom there are thorns on the way

But you manage to get me awayhellip

Oh mom I canrsquot say how much yoursquore to me

Mom just promise me that yoursquoll and

always be with mehellip

Oh mom this world is incomplete

without you

Just like the sky without itrsquos bright color bluehellip

Oh mom yoursquore the candle that showed the way in the

dark

My dear mom you made my life spark

I am the EARTH - Deepashikha P VII F

Hello I am the Earth

For me I am the sweetest heart

I provide you with lots of stuff

With food and the mangoes that you love

I give you water soil and Sun

I am special as I am just one

But the humans living on me

Are making me dirty

They are cutting all the trees

And killing all the species helliphellip

They filling me with smoke and death

They are killing themselves

with lack of breath

I am the Earth

I am your mother

Make me the best by pol-

luting me less and less

And preventing my green dress

You can save water

you plant a tree

Make a better home for you on me

Recycle things donrsquot throw them awayhellip

MAKE EVERY DAY AN EARTH

OUR FUTURE EARTH - Hiya Purswani VIII-B

We all know the present condition of our environment

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 Its 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 its 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 Itrsquos 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

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 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 Itrsquos 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 donʼt

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 quoterdquo 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

And wait the unfailing gray

Oh Sad are winter nights and slow

And sad is a song thatrsquos dumb

And sad it is to lie I know

Another dawn will come

Floods and Destruction

- Nirvi Soni IV-H

India faces occurrence of floods each year in some

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

Good Morning Everyone -Vyomi ThakkarVI - H

Come with me wersquoll have some fun

Wersquoll go on a walk

Donrsquot worry will have a great talk

Roaming around the ground

With beautiful birdrsquos sound

We donrsquot know if anything will be found

Wersquoll 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

-Shravya Atreya IX-D

Think before you speak

There are hearts you must please

Think before you speak

You canrsquot undo the harm done after you squeak

Think before you speak

You might have done greater harm than you might

think

Think before you speak

There are still places left for you

to seek

Think before you speak

There is a long way to go before

you sleep

Think before you speak

There are hearts you must

please

Sunrise -Anuradha Singh VII-H

Over the glimmering purple sea

Under the golden sun rise

The Island dreams under the dawn

And the message is carried by the wind that blows

across the bitter sea

A sparrow sways upon a tree

staring at his own in the

enamelled sea

Everything is fine

With fading stars and rising light

GLOBAL WARMING - Adhyant Singh VII-F

Global warming refers to the steady rise in the Earthrsquos mean temperature The effect of global

warming had come into sight when polar ice caps started melting this phenomena is called ICE ndash

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 400000000000 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 Earthrsquos surface thus increasing the temperature and also

destroying the ozone layer which prevents the ultraviolet rays of the sun from reaching the earthrsquos 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 (CFCrsquoS) 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

earthrsquos doomsday we all must work together

Itrsquos not too late there is still timehellipBefore the earth ends and we whinehellipSo keep on marching and planting

greens To end Global Warming and Make our planet greenhellip

What will happen without Instagram

- Kaavya Chaudhary VII-F

Instagram Instagram Instagram

I was hearing it from everyone

I asked who was the inventor

Nobody knew the answer to my question

Mobiles Mobiles Mobiles

I was able to see them everywhere

I asked who was the inventor

Again nobody was aware

I wondered why was it like so

Why is it they donrsquot know

There was one time we were

engrossed in books

Now we care more about our looks

Instagram wonrsquot give you a job

You will have to study and top

Your fellow followers wonrsquot help either

If you donrsquot have a job no one will bother

I am a tree

- Yashawini Pillai

I am a tree

With a dark green crown

And a thick strong trunk

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

Its the night

The moon is white

When we switch off the light

What a beautiful sight

After this comes the sun bright

There is no more artificial light

This is the time to start your diet

To go for a run wearing tights

Then comes the evening when

you have snacks light

And fly a big colorful kite

or include your sibling in a pillow fight

Again comes the night

A moon which is white

We switch off the light

A beautiful sight

INDIArsquoS 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

Indiarsquos 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 ldquoharness space technology ldquofor 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 ISROrsquos Fat Boyrsquo

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

Indiarsquos 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 didnt 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 Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane

with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing

speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt 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-

perloops 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 itThe first Hyperloop ndash 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

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

wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-

ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities

chapter test after every topic notebookfile 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

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 lifeI fell that exams

should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate

whether the students are clear with the concepts or

not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but

should be made understand their mistakes Let them

choose their own career options on their own Help

them know what they like to study and what they want

to do in their life So dont pressurize students for

what they dont like and encourage them in what they

do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the

country

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B

Life is all about interactions You meet people and

you interact You observe them consciously or sub-

consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us

more than we even realise Some people leave a last-

ing impression on us and entirely change the course of

life for better or for worse Some people influence us

help us go further and make all the difference

I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-

tial people They have taken care of me ever since I

came into this world They are the ones who wish the

best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-

cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel

no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-

come a part of my personality They are the ones who

helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me

to be better

When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are

the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-

takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique

learning experience It has made me realise how eve-

rything they do has a reason They are the ones who

have taught me the importance of the little things in

life They are the ones who have helped me recognize

and follow my passion The very thought of them not

being a part of my life is scary to the least as without

them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am

today and whatever I have achieved is all because of

them and I am very grateful of that

Eyesight

-Aditi Shenoy VIII-F

The tired little girl went to bed

Recollecting the days bygone

Seeing them in her dreams

As the day she was born

Trying to see the world

With her little eyes

But the sun with his brightness

Wouldnt let her catch the sights

The girl still eager

And curious to see the world around her

Again opened her eyes

But her vision was blurred

Still she did not lose hope

Which flowed through her blood

Encouraging and pushing her

To see the world further

Her heart beating fast

Her enthusiasm increasing

She slowly tried to see

With her eyes continuously blinking

Starting to lose hope

She was ready to give up

But curiosity got the upper hand

And pushed her forward

With her hope again rising

and strength in her eyesight

She is finally seeing the world

With wide open eyes

Conquering the space

ldquoThere is no failure in Science it is only continual

effort to conquer the unknown On the way even if we

face failure it rather adds more value to our effort for

our next journey to know the unknownrdquo

Chandrayan-2 Indiarsquos Moon Mission The dream of

entire India to land on moon and become the 4th Na-

tion in the world to put its flag on the soil of moon

after USSR USA amp China

ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launched

Chandrayan-2 on 22nd July 2019 from Bengaluru

(Satish Dhawan Space Center) under the command of

ISRO chief K Shivan It consists of ORBITER

LANDER amp Lunar Rover PRAGYAN Like Chandra-

yan-1(22nd Oct2008) it was Indiarsquos indigenous moon

mission

It touched the Moon Surface on Saturday early morn-

ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-

ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-

ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of

moon it lost contact with the ground station Because

of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be

monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m

(approx) away from its assigned location near

SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still

orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange

signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it

The ORBITER which will remain active for another

12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-

owed portion of the moon for the first time in history

with the help of its high-resolution camera

The entire Nation irrespective of their field of

knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front

of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of

VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true

Indians who always dream progress and development

of their motherland But our heart never accepts this

as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement

for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-

pose of our mission

But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at

this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring

country quoting this as a big failure on part of India

blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos

money on this

Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will

be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to

this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other

nations on such missions

Further I should say that India is not new in the field

of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-

TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975

It was named after famous scientist of ancient India

ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested

for the first time the HELIOCENTRIC THEORY

(Sun at the center and all planets revolve around the

Sun) of the Solar System much earlier than ready for

New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 57

COPERNICUS as believed in the western world

Other countries might have moon on their flags but

we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is

great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are

whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-

rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is

only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the

unknown and its continual application for the benefit

of the mankind)rdquo

Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by

various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-

PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-

cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958

onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as

46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was

attempted out of which only 21 was successful

Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-

tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the

overall attempts conducted by other Nations

USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-

NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was

planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January

SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR

successfully on moon

NASA after many attempts was successful to send

first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th

July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk

on moon

Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-

clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-

SION MANGAL for our next moon mission

The night before the final examination

-Marisha Nath VIII- C

The night before the final examination appears to all

examinees as the night before the Battle of Waterloo

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-

tion they would be

going about their

daily rounds They

may be found in the parks cafes and restaurants talk-

ing about tips ndashtalking 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 ndashconscious 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

-Prajna VIII-D

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 mustnrsquot be exaggerated

Till you salve someonersquos hurt

Elegant you be for the universe to learn your versatility

How can you be silent if you donrsquot know your efficiency

One of the values to become successful is simplicity

Through elegance letrsquos spread positivist

Chocoland - Talreja Aastha IV-J

Once I had been to the Chocolate Land

Chocolate all around to the reach of my hand

Toffees candies lollies and bars

In my mouth a crunchy munchy war

White dark nutty and sweet

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 chocolate car

Soon after it was 6 oclock

And could hear the doorrsquos knock

I woke up in a hurry

Just to realise that it was a dream

Me Myself

- Tirtha Kiran Keni VII- G

I am naughty girl

Doll of my uncle Princess of my aunt

Life imagining without them absolutely I cant

Sometimes I am angry on you amp fight with you a lot

But Love caring praising in return I have always got

But I promise you Mom amp Dad one day sure I will

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 ldquoHello My friendrdquo but the elephant replied rude-

ly saying ldquoYou tiny

ant Get off my way

otherwise yoursquoll get

crushed to deathrdquo

Hearing this ant

challenged the elephant sayingrdquo My big friend I can

make you cryrdquo The ant quickly climbed onto the trunk

of the elephant and ran towards its earit 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

ldquoPlease come out of my ear I canrsquot bear the painrdquo As

soon as the ant came out the elephant apologized for

its mistake and didnrsquot tease any animals from that day

Grandparents

-Aditya Patil VIII-E

The best place in vacation

A heaven like destination

Their love for us is endless

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

coolest dude

They yell at our parents

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 ldquoWomen Empowermentrdquo 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

Water is the force behind all the industry agriculture

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

without water No

water no life

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 -Aditys Patil VIII-E

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 askedwhere are

the schools There are no schools here Mother said

dont 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

The Day Irsquoll Never Forget - Saranya Sarangi VII -

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 hadnrsquot the thee

Perished laid the martyrs

Whom our motherland gave birth

I still remember that scaring sight

The scattered limbs I couldnrsquot see

My heart got filled with grief and fright

No Indian could glee

Terribly writhing the soldiers were seen

Some families languished and some

were crying

So loyal to their country they had been

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

I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom

O human Then why do you steal my FREEDOM

Binding me alone in the cage makes me sad

Donrsquot you know caging a bird is bad

Looking at the sky

I wish I could fly

I never disturb you

I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom

O human Then why do you steal my

FREEDOM

Summers in India - Saranya Sarangi VIII

A hot season beginning from April till May is what we

call summer And thatrsquos the basic rule in India But

thatrsquos 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 donrsquot 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-

dents can join different aca-

demic and co-curricular

courses to improve them-

selves Many children even spend time with their fami-

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 lsquoSummers in Indiarsquo

Exams are good or bad

- Nupoor Teli VIIIndashI

In my humble opinionexams are apressure on the stu-

dents They are forced to study and score good

markswhich 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 studybut 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

-daysthe main reason for studying is gaining marks If

there are no marksno career andno success This is the

mindset of 70 people of the worldespecially 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-

verthere are projectssubject-enrichment activi-

tieschapter test sfter every topicnotebookfile submis

sion etcAnd as acherry on top

of the cakewe have the semes-

ter exams of eighty marks as

well What all will the students

do And even if any extra-

curricular activities are being learntthen more extra

studies Just studystudy 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 notThey shouldnt be pressurized for

their marksbut 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 dont pressurize

students for what they dont likeand encourage them in

what they do After allthey 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

Never accept less than best

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 magicalhellip

Life is so magicalhellip

Humility -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D

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 personrsquos 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 personrsquos 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

canrsquot 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 yoursquore not strong enough to

stand up for yourself They think you surrender in-

stead of protesting They will despise and scorn you

but they donrsquot know that you take pleasure in what

you do because they havenrsquot experienced that kind of

joy

So if you do have humility donrsquot 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

Mom -Tanvi Sawant VII-C

Oh mom I came to this beautiful world just because

of youhellip

Mom what would I do without you

Oh mom there are thorns on the way

But you manage to get me awayhellip

Oh mom I canrsquot say how much yoursquore to me

Mom just promise me that yoursquoll and

always be with mehellip

Oh mom this world is incomplete

without you

Just like the sky without itrsquos bright color bluehellip

Oh mom yoursquore the candle that showed the way in the

dark

My dear mom you made my life spark

OUR FUTURE EARTH - Hiya Purswani VIII-B

We all know the present condition of our environment

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 Its 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 its 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 Itrsquos 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

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 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 Itrsquos 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 donʼt

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 quoterdquo 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

And wait the unfailing gray

Oh Sad are winter nights and slow

And sad is a song thatrsquos dumb

And sad it is to lie I know

Another dawn will come

Floods and Destruction

- Nirvi Soni IV-H

India faces occurrence of floods each year in some

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

Good Morning Everyone -Vyomi ThakkarVI - H

Wersquoll 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

-Shravya Atreya IX-D

Think before you speak

There are hearts you must please

Think before you speak

You canrsquot undo the harm done after you squeak

Think before you speak

You might have done greater harm than you might

think

Think before you speak

There are still places left for you

to seek

Think before you speak

There is a long way to go before

you sleep

Think before you speak

There are hearts you must

please

GLOBAL WARMING - Adhyant Singh VII-F

Global warming refers to the steady rise in the Earthrsquos mean temperature The effect of global

warming had come into sight when polar ice caps started melting this phenomena is called ICE ndash

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 400000000000 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 Earthrsquos surface thus increasing the temperature and also

destroying the ozone layer which prevents the ultraviolet rays of the sun from reaching the earthrsquos 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 (CFCrsquoS) 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

earthrsquos doomsday we all must work together

Itrsquos not too late there is still timehellipBefore the earth ends and we whinehellipSo keep on marching and planting

greens To end Global Warming and Make our planet greenhellip

The Night - Matangi Rajesh VII-D

Its the night

The moon is white

When we switch off the light

What a beautiful sight

After this comes the sun bright

There is no more artificial light

This is the time to start your diet

To go for a run wearing tights

Then comes the evening when

you have snacks light

And fly a big colorful kite

or include your sibling in a pillow fight

Again comes the night

A moon which is white

We switch off the light

A beautiful sight

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 didnt 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 Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane

with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing

speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt 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-

perloops 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 itThe first Hyperloop ndash 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

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

wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-

ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities

chapter test after every topic notebookfile 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

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 lifeI fell that exams

should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate

whether the students are clear with the concepts or

not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but

should be made understand their mistakes Let them

choose their own career options on their own Help

them know what they like to study and what they want

to do in their life So dont pressurize students for

what they dont like and encourage them in what they

do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the

country

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B

Life is all about interactions You meet people and

you interact You observe them consciously or sub-

consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us

more than we even realise Some people leave a last-

ing impression on us and entirely change the course of

life for better or for worse Some people influence us

help us go further and make all the difference

I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-

tial people They have taken care of me ever since I

came into this world They are the ones who wish the

best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-

cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel

no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-

come a part of my personality They are the ones who

helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me

to be better

When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are

the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-

takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique

learning experience It has made me realise how eve-

rything they do has a reason They are the ones who

have taught me the importance of the little things in

life They are the ones who have helped me recognize

and follow my passion The very thought of them not

being a part of my life is scary to the least as without

them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am

today and whatever I have achieved is all because of

them and I am very grateful of that

With her little eyes

But the sun with his brightness

Wouldnt let her catch the sights

The girl still eager

And curious to see the world around her

Again opened her eyes

But her vision was blurred

Still she did not lose hope

Which flowed through her blood

Encouraging and pushing her

To see the world further

Her heart beating fast

Her enthusiasm increasing

She slowly tried to see

With her eyes continuously blinking

Starting to lose hope

She was ready to give up

But curiosity got the upper hand

And pushed her forward

With her hope again rising

and strength in her eyesight

She is finally seeing the world

With wide open eyes

Conquering the space

-Marisha Nath VIII-C

ldquoThere is no failure in Science it is only continual

effort to conquer the unknown On the way even if we

face failure it rather adds more value to our effort for

our next journey to know the unknownrdquo

Chandrayan-2 Indiarsquos Moon Mission The dream of

entire India to land on moon and become the 4th Na-

tion in the world to put its flag on the soil of moon

after USSR USA amp China

ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launched

Chandrayan-2 on 22nd July 2019 from Bengaluru

(Satish Dhawan Space Center) under the command of

ISRO chief K Shivan It consists of ORBITER

LANDER amp Lunar Rover PRAGYAN Like Chandra-

yan-1(22nd Oct2008) it was Indiarsquos indigenous moon

mission

It touched the Moon Surface on Saturday early morn-

ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-

ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-

ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of

moon it lost contact with the ground station Because

of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be

monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m

(approx) away from its assigned location near

SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still

orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange

signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it

The ORBITER which will remain active for another

12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-

owed portion of the moon for the first time in history

with the help of its high-resolution camera

The entire Nation irrespective of their field of

knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front

of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of

VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true

Indians who always dream progress and development

of their motherland But our heart never accepts this

as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement

for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-

pose of our mission

But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at

this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring

country quoting this as a big failure on part of India

blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos

money on this

Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will

be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to

this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other

nations on such missions

Further I should say that India is not new in the field

of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-

TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975

It was named after famous scientist of ancient India

ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested

for the first time the HELIOCENTRIC THEORY

(Sun at the center and all planets revolve around the

Sun) of the Solar System much earlier than ready for

New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 57

COPERNICUS as believed in the western world

Other countries might have moon on their flags but

we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is

great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are

whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-

rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is

only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the

unknown and its continual application for the benefit

of the mankind)rdquo

Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by

various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-

PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-

cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958

onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as

46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was

attempted out of which only 21 was successful

Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-

tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the

overall attempts conducted by other Nations

USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-

NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was

planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January

SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR

successfully on moon

NASA after many attempts was successful to send

first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th

July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk

on moon

Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-

clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-

SION MANGAL for our next moon mission

The night before the final examination

-Marisha Nath VIII- C

The night before the final examination appears to all

examinees as the night before the Battle of Waterloo

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-

tion they would be

going about their

daily rounds They

may be found in the parks cafes and restaurants talk-

ing about tips ndashtalking 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 ndashconscious 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

-Prajna VIII-D

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 mustnrsquot be exaggerated

Till you salve someonersquos hurt

Elegant you be for the universe to learn your versatility

How can you be silent if you donrsquot know your efficiency

One of the values to become successful is simplicity

Through elegance letrsquos spread positivist

Chocoland - Talreja Aastha IV-J

Once I had been to the Chocolate Land

Chocolate all around to the reach of my hand

Toffees candies lollies and bars

In my mouth a crunchy munchy war

White dark nutty and sweet

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 chocolate car

Soon after it was 6 oclock

And could hear the doorrsquos knock

I woke up in a hurry

Just to realise that it was a dream

Me Myself

be

But I surely know you will always love me

I am very lucky Shirley girl

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 ldquoHello My friendrdquo but the elephant replied rude-

ly saying ldquoYou tiny

ant Get off my way

otherwise yoursquoll get

crushed to deathrdquo

Hearing this ant

challenged the elephant sayingrdquo My big friend I can

make you cryrdquo The ant quickly climbed onto the trunk

of the elephant and ran towards its earit 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

ldquoPlease come out of my ear I canrsquot bear the painrdquo As

soon as the ant came out the elephant apologized for

its mistake and didnrsquot tease any animals from that day

Grandparents

-Aditya Patil VIII-E

The best place in vacation

A heaven like destination

Their love for us is endless

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

coolest dude

They yell at our parents

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 ldquoWomen Empowermentrdquo 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

Water is the force behind all the industry agriculture

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

without water No

water no life

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 -Aditys Patil VIII-E

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 askedwhere are

the schools There are no schools here Mother said

dont 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

The Day Irsquoll Never Forget - Saranya Sarangi VII -

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 hadnrsquot the thee

Perished laid the martyrs

Whom our motherland gave birth

I still remember that scaring sight

The scattered limbs I couldnrsquot see

My heart got filled with grief and fright

No Indian could glee

Terribly writhing the soldiers were seen

Some families languished and some

were crying

So loyal to their country they had been

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

I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom

O human Then why do you steal my FREEDOM

Binding me alone in the cage makes me sad

Donrsquot you know caging a bird is bad

Looking at the sky

I wish I could fly

I never disturb you

I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom

O human Then why do you steal my

FREEDOM

Summers in India - Saranya Sarangi VIII

A hot season beginning from April till May is what we

call summer And thatrsquos the basic rule in India But

thatrsquos 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 donrsquot 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-

dents can join different aca-

demic and co-curricular

courses to improve them-

selves Many children even spend time with their fami-

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 lsquoSummers in Indiarsquo

Exams are good or bad

- Nupoor Teli VIIIndashI

In my humble opinionexams are apressure on the stu-

dents They are forced to study and score good

markswhich 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 studybut 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

-daysthe main reason for studying is gaining marks If

there are no marksno career andno success This is the

mindset of 70 people of the worldespecially 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-

verthere are projectssubject-enrichment activi-

tieschapter test sfter every topicnotebookfile submis

sion etcAnd as acherry on top

of the cakewe have the semes-

ter exams of eighty marks as

well What all will the students

do And even if any extra-

curricular activities are being learntthen more extra

studies Just studystudy 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 notThey shouldnt be pressurized for

their marksbut 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 dont pressurize

students for what they dont likeand encourage them in

what they do After allthey 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

Never accept less than best

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 magicalhellip

Life is so magicalhellip

Humility -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D

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 personrsquos 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 personrsquos 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

canrsquot 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 yoursquore not strong enough to

stand up for yourself They think you surrender in-

stead of protesting They will despise and scorn you

but they donrsquot know that you take pleasure in what

you do because they havenrsquot experienced that kind of

joy

So if you do have humility donrsquot 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

Mom -Tanvi Sawant VII-C

Oh mom I came to this beautiful world just because

of youhellip

Oh mom this world is incomplete

without you

Just like the sky without itrsquos bright color bluehellip

Oh mom yoursquore the candle that showed the way in the

dark

OUR FUTURE EARTH - Hiya Purswani VIII-B

We all know the present condition of our environment

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 Its 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 its 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 Itrsquos 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

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 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 Itrsquos 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 donʼt

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 quoterdquo 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

Floods and Destruction

- Nirvi Soni IV-H

India faces occurrence of floods each year in some

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

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 canrsquot undo the harm done after you squeak

Think before you speak

You might have done greater harm than you might

Think before you speak

There are still places left for you

to seek

Think before you speak

There is a long way to go before

you sleep

Think before you speak

There are hearts you must

please

GLOBAL WARMING - Adhyant Singh VII-F

Global warming refers to the steady rise in the Earthrsquos mean temperature The effect of global

warming had come into sight when polar ice caps started melting this phenomena is called ICE ndash

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 400000000000 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 Earthrsquos surface thus increasing the temperature and also

destroying the ozone layer which prevents the ultraviolet rays of the sun from reaching the earthrsquos 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 (CFCrsquoS) 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

What will happen without Instagram

- Kaavya Chaudhary VII-F

Instagram Instagram Instagram

I was hearing it from everyone

I asked who was the inventor

Nobody knew the answer to my question

Mobiles Mobiles Mobiles

I was able to see them everywhere

I asked who was the inventor

Again nobody was aware

I wondered why was it like so

Why is it they donrsquot know

There was one time we were

engrossed in books

Now we care more about our looks

Instagram wonrsquot give you a job

You will have to study and top

Your fellow followers wonrsquot help either

If you donrsquot have a job no one will bother

I am a tree

- Yashawini Pillai

I am a tree

With a dark green crown

And a thick strong trunk

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

Its the night

The moon is white

When we switch off the light

What a beautiful sight

After this comes the sun bright

There is no more artificial light

This is the time to start your diet

To go for a run wearing tights

Then comes the evening when

you have snacks light

And fly a big colorful kite

or include your sibling in a pillow fight

Again comes the night

A moon which is white

We switch off the light

A beautiful sight

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 didnt 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 Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane

with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing

speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt 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-

perloops 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 itThe first Hyperloop ndash 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

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

wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-

ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities

chapter test after every topic notebookfile 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

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 lifeI fell that exams

should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate

whether the students are clear with the concepts or

not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but

should be made understand their mistakes Let them

choose their own career options on their own Help

them know what they like to study and what they want

to do in their life So dont pressurize students for

what they dont like and encourage them in what they

do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the

country

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B

Life is all about interactions You meet people and

you interact You observe them consciously or sub-

consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us

more than we even realise Some people leave a last-

ing impression on us and entirely change the course of

life for better or for worse Some people influence us

help us go further and make all the difference

I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-

tial people They have taken care of me ever since I

came into this world They are the ones who wish the

best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-

cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel

no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-

come a part of my personality They are the ones who

helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me

to be better

When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are

the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-

takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique

learning experience It has made me realise how eve-

rything they do has a reason They are the ones who

have taught me the importance of the little things in

life They are the ones who have helped me recognize

and follow my passion The very thought of them not

being a part of my life is scary to the least as without

them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am

today and whatever I have achieved is all because of

them and I am very grateful of that

Eyesight

-Aditi Shenoy VIII-F

The tired little girl went to bed

Recollecting the days bygone

Seeing them in her dreams

As the day she was born

Trying to see the world

With her little eyes

But the sun with his brightness

Wouldnt let her catch the sights

The girl still eager

And curious to see the world around her

Again opened her eyes

But her vision was blurred

Still she did not lose hope

Which flowed through her blood

Encouraging and pushing her

To see the world further

Her heart beating fast

Her enthusiasm increasing

She slowly tried to see

With her eyes continuously blinking

Starting to lose hope

She was ready to give up

But curiosity got the upper hand

And pushed her forward

With her hope again rising

and strength in her eyesight

She is finally seeing the world

With wide open eyes

Conquering the space

-Marisha Nath VIII-C

ldquoThere is no failure in Science it is only continual

effort to conquer the unknown On the way even if we

face failure it rather adds more value to our effort for

our next journey to know the unknownrdquo

Chandrayan-2 Indiarsquos Moon Mission The dream of

entire India to land on moon and become the 4th Na-

tion in the world to put its flag on the soil of moon

after USSR USA amp China

ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launched

Chandrayan-2 on 22nd July 2019 from Bengaluru

(Satish Dhawan Space Center) under the command of

ISRO chief K Shivan It consists of ORBITER

LANDER amp Lunar Rover PRAGYAN Like Chandra-

yan-1(22nd Oct2008) it was Indiarsquos indigenous moon

mission

It touched the Moon Surface on Saturday early morn-

ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-

ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-

ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of

moon it lost contact with the ground station Because

of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be

monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m

(approx) away from its assigned location near

SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still

orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange

signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it

The ORBITER which will remain active for another

12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-

owed portion of the moon for the first time in history

with the help of its high-resolution camera

The entire Nation irrespective of their field of

knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front

of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of

VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true

Indians who always dream progress and development

of their motherland But our heart never accepts this

as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement

for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-

pose of our mission

But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at

this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring

country quoting this as a big failure on part of India

blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos

money on this

Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will

be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to

this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other

nations on such missions

Further I should say that India is not new in the field

of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-

TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975

It was named after famous scientist of ancient India

ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested

for the first time the HELIOCENTRIC THEORY

(Sun at the center and all planets revolve around the

Sun) of the Solar System much earlier than ready for

New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 57

COPERNICUS as believed in the western world

Other countries might have moon on their flags but

we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is

great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are

whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-

rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is

only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the

unknown and its continual application for the benefit

of the mankind)rdquo

Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by

various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-

PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-

cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958

onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as

46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was

attempted out of which only 21 was successful

Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-

tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the

overall attempts conducted by other Nations

USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-

NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was

planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January

SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR

successfully on moon

NASA after many attempts was successful to send

first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th

July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk

on moon

Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-

clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-

SION MANGAL for our next moon mission

Chocoland - Talreja Aastha IV-J

Once I had been to the Chocolate Land

Chocolate all around to the reach of my hand

Toffees candies lollies and bars

In my mouth a crunchy munchy war

White dark nutty and sweet

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 chocolate car

Soon after it was 6 oclock

And could hear the doorrsquos knock

I woke up in a hurry

Just to realise that it was a dream

Me Myself

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 ldquoHello My friendrdquo but the elephant replied rude-

ly saying ldquoYou tiny

ant Get off my way

otherwise yoursquoll get

crushed to deathrdquo

Hearing this ant

challenged the elephant sayingrdquo My big friend I can

make you cryrdquo The ant quickly climbed onto the trunk

of the elephant and ran towards its earit 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

ldquoPlease come out of my ear I canrsquot bear the painrdquo As

soon as the ant came out the elephant apologized for

its mistake and didnrsquot tease any animals from that day

Grandparents

-Aditya Patil VIII-E

The best place in vacation

A heaven like destination

Their love for us is endless

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

coolest dude

They yell at our parents

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 ldquoWomen Empowermentrdquo 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

Water is the force behind all the industry agriculture

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

without water No

water no life

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 -Aditys Patil VIII-E

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 askedwhere are

the schools There are no schools here Mother said

dont 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

The Day Irsquoll Never Forget - Saranya Sarangi VII -

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 hadnrsquot the thee

Perished laid the martyrs

Whom our motherland gave birth

I still remember that scaring sight

The scattered limbs I couldnrsquot see

My heart got filled with grief and fright

No Indian could glee

Terribly writhing the soldiers were seen

Some families languished and some

were crying

So loyal to their country they had been

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

I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom

O human Then why do you steal my FREEDOM

Binding me alone in the cage makes me sad

Donrsquot you know caging a bird is bad

Looking at the sky

I wish I could fly

I never disturb you

I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom

O human Then why do you steal my

FREEDOM

Summers in India - Saranya Sarangi VIII

A hot season beginning from April till May is what we

call summer And thatrsquos the basic rule in India But

thatrsquos 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 donrsquot 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-

dents can join different aca-

demic and co-curricular

courses to improve them-

selves Many children even spend time with their fami-

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 lsquoSummers in Indiarsquo

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

Never accept less than best

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 magicalhellip

Life is so magicalhellip

Humility -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D

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 personrsquos 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 personrsquos 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

canrsquot 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 yoursquore not strong enough to

stand up for yourself They think you surrender in-

stead of protesting They will despise and scorn you

but they donrsquot know that you take pleasure in what

you do because they havenrsquot experienced that kind of

joy

So if you do have humility donrsquot 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

Mom -Tanvi Sawant VII-C

Oh mom I came to this beautiful world just because

of youhellip

Mom what would I do without you

Oh mom there are thorns on the way

But you manage to get me awayhellip

Oh mom I canrsquot say how much yoursquore to me

Mom just promise me that yoursquoll and

always be with mehellip

Oh mom this world is incomplete

without you

Just like the sky without itrsquos bright color bluehellip

Oh mom yoursquore the candle that showed the way in the

dark

My dear mom you made my life spark

I provide you with lots of stuff

With food and the mangoes that you love

I give you water soil and Sun

I am special as I am just one

But the humans living on me

Are making me dirty

They are cutting all the trees

And killing all the species helliphellip

They filling me with smoke and death

They are killing themselves

with lack of breath

I am the Earth

I am your mother

Make me the best by pol-

luting me less and less

And preventing my green dress

You can save water

you plant a tree

Make a better home for you on me

Recycle things donrsquot throw them awayhellip

MAKE EVERY DAY AN EARTH

OUR FUTURE EARTH - Hiya Purswani VIII-B

We all know the present condition of our environment

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 Its 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 its 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 Itrsquos 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

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 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 Itrsquos 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 donʼt

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 quoterdquo 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

And wait the unfailing gray

Oh Sad are winter nights and slow

And sad is a song thatrsquos dumb

And sad it is to lie I know

Another dawn will come

Floods and Destruction

- Nirvi Soni IV-H

India faces occurrence of floods each year in some

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

Good Morning Everyone -Vyomi ThakkarVI - H

Come with me wersquoll have some fun

Wersquoll go on a walk

Donrsquot worry will have a great talk

Roaming around the ground

With beautiful birdrsquos sound

We donrsquot know if anything will be found

Wersquoll 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

-Shravya Atreya IX-D

Think before you speak

There are hearts you must please

Think before you speak

You canrsquot undo the harm done after you squeak

Think before you speak

You might have done greater harm than you might

think

Think before you speak

There are still places left for you

to seek

Think before you speak

There is a long way to go before

you sleep

Think before you speak

There are hearts you must

please

Sunrise -Anuradha Singh VII-H

Over the glimmering purple sea

Under the golden sun rise

A sparrow sways upon a tree

staring at his own in the

enamelled sea

Everything is fine

With fading stars and rising light

GLOBAL WARMING - Adhyant Singh VII-F

Global warming refers to the steady rise in the Earthrsquos mean temperature The effect of global

warming had come into sight when polar ice caps started melting this phenomena is called ICE ndash

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 400000000000 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 Earthrsquos surface thus increasing the temperature and also

destroying the ozone layer which prevents the ultraviolet rays of the sun from reaching the earthrsquos 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 (CFCrsquoS) 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

earthrsquos doomsday we all must work together

Itrsquos not too late there is still timehellipBefore the earth ends and we whinehellipSo keep on marching and planting

greens To end Global Warming and Make our planet greenhellip

What will happen without Instagram

- Kaavya Chaudhary VII-F

Instagram Instagram Instagram

I was hearing it from everyone

I asked who was the inventor

Nobody knew the answer to my question

Mobiles Mobiles Mobiles

I was able to see them everywhere

I asked who was the inventor

Again nobody was aware

I wondered why was it like so

Why is it they donrsquot know

There was one time we were

engrossed in books

Now we care more about our looks

Instagram wonrsquot give you a job

You will have to study and top

Your fellow followers wonrsquot help either

If you donrsquot have a job no one will bother

I am a tree

- Yashawini Pillai

I am a tree

With a dark green crown

And a thick strong trunk

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

Its the night

The moon is white

When we switch off the light

What a beautiful sight

After this comes the sun bright

There is no more artificial light

This is the time to start your diet

To go for a run wearing tights

Then comes the evening when

you have snacks light

And fly a big colorful kite

or include your sibling in a pillow fight

Again comes the night

A moon which is white

We switch off the light

A beautiful sight

heavy duty rockets designs and fabricates some of the most sophisticated satellites In a singular achievement

Indiarsquos 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 ldquoharness space technology ldquofor 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 ISROrsquos Fat Boyrsquo

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

Indiarsquos 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 didnt 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 Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane

with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing

speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt 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-

perloops 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 itThe first Hyperloop ndash 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

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

wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-

ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities

chapter test after every topic notebookfile 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

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 lifeI fell that exams

should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate

whether the students are clear with the concepts or

not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but

should be made understand their mistakes Let them

choose their own career options on their own Help

them know what they like to study and what they want

to do in their life So dont pressurize students for

what they dont like and encourage them in what they

do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the

country

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B

Life is all about interactions You meet people and

you interact You observe them consciously or sub-

consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us

more than we even realise Some people leave a last-

ing impression on us and entirely change the course of

life for better or for worse Some people influence us

help us go further and make all the difference

I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-

tial people They have taken care of me ever since I

came into this world They are the ones who wish the

best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-

cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel

no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-

come a part of my personality They are the ones who

helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me

to be better

When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are

the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-

takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique

learning experience It has made me realise how eve-

rything they do has a reason They are the ones who

have taught me the importance of the little things in

life They are the ones who have helped me recognize

and follow my passion The very thought of them not

being a part of my life is scary to the least as without

them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am

today and whatever I have achieved is all because of

them and I am very grateful of that

Eyesight

-Aditi Shenoy VIII-F

The tired little girl went to bed

Recollecting the days bygone

Seeing them in her dreams

As the day she was born

Trying to see the world

With her little eyes

But the sun with his brightness

Wouldnt let her catch the sights

The girl still eager

And curious to see the world around her

Again opened her eyes

But her vision was blurred

Still she did not lose hope

Which flowed through her blood

Encouraging and pushing her

To see the world further

Her heart beating fast

Her enthusiasm increasing

She slowly tried to see

With her eyes continuously blinking

Starting to lose hope

She was ready to give up

But curiosity got the upper hand

And pushed her forward

With her hope again rising

and strength in her eyesight

She is finally seeing the world

With wide open eyes

Conquering the space

ldquoThere is no failure in Science it is only continual

effort to conquer the unknown On the way even if we

face failure it rather adds more value to our effort for

our next journey to know the unknownrdquo

Chandrayan-2 Indiarsquos Moon Mission The dream of

entire India to land on moon and become the 4th Na-

tion in the world to put its flag on the soil of moon

after USSR USA amp China

ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launched

Chandrayan-2 on 22nd July 2019 from Bengaluru

(Satish Dhawan Space Center) under the command of

ISRO chief K Shivan It consists of ORBITER

LANDER amp Lunar Rover PRAGYAN Like Chandra-

yan-1(22nd Oct2008) it was Indiarsquos indigenous moon

mission

It touched the Moon Surface on Saturday early morn-

ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-

ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-

ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of

moon it lost contact with the ground station Because

of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be

monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m

(approx) away from its assigned location near

SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still

orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange

signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it

The ORBITER which will remain active for another

12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-

owed portion of the moon for the first time in history

with the help of its high-resolution camera

The entire Nation irrespective of their field of

knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front

of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of

VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true

Indians who always dream progress and development

of their motherland But our heart never accepts this

as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement

for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-

pose of our mission

But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at

this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring

country quoting this as a big failure on part of India

blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos

money on this

Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will

be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to

this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other

nations on such missions

Further I should say that India is not new in the field

of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-

TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975

It was named after famous scientist of ancient India

ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested

for the first time the HELIOCENTRIC THEORY

(Sun at the center and all planets revolve around the

Sun) of the Solar System much earlier than ready for

New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 57

COPERNICUS as believed in the western world

Other countries might have moon on their flags but

we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is

great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are

whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-

rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is

only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the

unknown and its continual application for the benefit

of the mankind)rdquo

Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by

various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-

PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-

cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958

onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as

46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was

attempted out of which only 21 was successful

Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-

tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the

overall attempts conducted by other Nations

USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-

NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was

planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January

SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR

successfully on moon

NASA after many attempts was successful to send

first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th

July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk

on moon

Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-

clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-

SION MANGAL for our next moon mission

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 ldquoHello My friendrdquo but the elephant replied rude-

ly saying ldquoYou tiny

ant Get off my way

otherwise yoursquoll get

crushed to deathrdquo

Hearing this ant

challenged the elephant sayingrdquo My big friend I can

make you cryrdquo The ant quickly climbed onto the trunk

of the elephant and ran towards its earit 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

ldquoPlease come out of my ear I canrsquot bear the painrdquo As

soon as the ant came out the elephant apologized for

its mistake and didnrsquot tease any animals from that day

Grandparents

-Aditya Patil VIII-E

The best place in vacation

A heaven like destination

Their love for us is endless

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

coolest dude

They yell at our parents

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 ldquoWomen Empowermentrdquo 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

Water is the force behind all the industry agriculture

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

without water No

water no life

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 -Aditys Patil VIII-E

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 askedwhere are

the schools There are no schools here Mother said

dont 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

The Day Irsquoll Never Forget - Saranya Sarangi VII -

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 hadnrsquot the thee

Perished laid the martyrs

Whom our motherland gave birth

I still remember that scaring sight

The scattered limbs I couldnrsquot see

My heart got filled with grief and fright

No Indian could glee

Terribly writhing the soldiers were seen

Some families languished and some

were crying

So loyal to their country they had been

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

I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom

O human Then why do you steal my FREEDOM

Binding me alone in the cage makes me sad

Donrsquot you know caging a bird is bad

Looking at the sky

I wish I could fly

I never disturb you

I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom

O human Then why do you steal my

Summers in India - Saranya Sarangi VIII

A hot season beginning from April till May is what we

call summer And thatrsquos the basic rule in India But

thatrsquos 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 donrsquot 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-

dents can join different aca-

demic and co-curricular

courses to improve them-

selves Many children even spend time with their fami-

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 lsquoSummers in Indiarsquo

Exams are good or bad

- Nupoor Teli VIIIndashI

In my humble opinionexams are apressure on the stu-

dents They are forced to study and score good

markswhich 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 studybut 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

-daysthe main reason for studying is gaining marks If

there are no marksno career andno success This is the

mindset of 70 people of the worldespecially 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-

verthere are projectssubject-enrichment activi-

tieschapter test sfter every topicnotebookfile submis

sion etcAnd as acherry on top

of the cakewe have the semes-

ter exams of eighty marks as

well What all will the students

do And even if any extra-

curricular activities are being learntthen more extra

studies Just studystudy 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 notThey shouldnt be pressurized for

their marksbut 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 dont pressurize

students for what they dont likeand encourage them in

what they do After allthey 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

Never accept less than best

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 magicalhellip

Life is so magicalhellip

Humility -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D

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 personrsquos 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 personrsquos 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

canrsquot 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 yoursquore not strong enough to

stand up for yourself They think you surrender in-

stead of protesting They will despise and scorn you

but they donrsquot know that you take pleasure in what

you do because they havenrsquot experienced that kind of

joy

So if you do have humility donrsquot 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

Mom -Tanvi Sawant VII-C

Oh mom I came to this beautiful world just because

of youhellip

Mom what would I do without you

Oh mom there are thorns on the way

But you manage to get me awayhellip

Oh mom I canrsquot say how much yoursquore to me

Mom just promise me that yoursquoll and

always be with mehellip

Oh mom this world is incomplete

without you

Just like the sky without itrsquos bright color bluehellip

Oh mom yoursquore the candle that showed the way in the

dark

My dear mom you made my life spark

Make a better home for you on me

OUR FUTURE EARTH - Hiya Purswani VIII-B

We all know the present condition of our environment

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 Its 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 its 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 Itrsquos 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

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 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 Itrsquos 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 donʼt

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 quoterdquo 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

And wait the unfailing gray

Oh Sad are winter nights and slow

And sad is a song thatrsquos dumb

And sad it is to lie I know

Another dawn will come

Floods and Destruction

- Nirvi Soni IV-H

India faces occurrence of floods each year in some

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

Good Morning Everyone -Vyomi ThakkarVI - H

Come with me wersquoll have some fun

Wersquoll go on a walk

Donrsquot worry will have a great talk

Roaming around the ground

With beautiful birdrsquos sound

We donrsquot know if anything will be found

Wersquoll 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

-Shravya Atreya IX-D

Think before you speak

There are hearts you must please

Think before you speak

You canrsquot undo the harm done after you squeak

Think before you speak

You might have done greater harm than you might

think

Think before you speak

There are still places left for you

to seek

Think before you speak

There is a long way to go before

you sleep

Think before you speak

There are hearts you must

please

Sunrise -Anuradha Singh VII-H

Over the glimmering purple sea

Everything is fine

GLOBAL WARMING - Adhyant Singh VII-F

Global warming refers to the steady rise in the Earthrsquos mean temperature The effect of global

warming had come into sight when polar ice caps started melting this phenomena is called ICE ndash

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 400000000000 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 Earthrsquos surface thus increasing the temperature and also

destroying the ozone layer which prevents the ultraviolet rays of the sun from reaching the earthrsquos 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 (CFCrsquoS) 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

earthrsquos doomsday we all must work together

Itrsquos not too late there is still timehellipBefore the earth ends and we whinehellipSo keep on marching and planting

greens To end Global Warming and Make our planet greenhellip

What will happen without Instagram

I was hearing it from everyone

I asked who was the inventor

Nobody knew the answer to my question

Mobiles Mobiles Mobiles

I wondered why was it like so

Why is it they donrsquot know

There was one time we were

engrossed in books

Now we care more about our looks

Instagram wonrsquot give you a job

You will have to study and top

Your fellow followers wonrsquot help either

If you donrsquot have a job no one will bother

The Night - Matangi Rajesh VII-D

Its the night

The moon is white

When we switch off the light

What a beautiful sight

After this comes the sun bright

There is no more artificial light

This is the time to start your diet

To go for a run wearing tights

Then comes the evening when

you have snacks light

And fly a big colorful kite

or include your sibling in a pillow fight

Again comes the night

A moon which is white

We switch off the light

A beautiful sight

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

Indiarsquos 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 ldquoharness space technology ldquofor 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 ISROrsquos Fat Boyrsquo

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

Indiarsquos 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 didnt 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 Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane

with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing

speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt 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-

perloops 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 itThe first Hyperloop ndash 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

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

wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-

ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities

chapter test after every topic notebookfile 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

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 lifeI fell that exams

should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate

whether the students are clear with the concepts or

not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but

should be made understand their mistakes Let them

choose their own career options on their own Help

them know what they like to study and what they want

to do in their life So dont pressurize students for

what they dont like and encourage them in what they

do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the

country

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B

Life is all about interactions You meet people and

you interact You observe them consciously or sub-

consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us

more than we even realise Some people leave a last-

ing impression on us and entirely change the course of

life for better or for worse Some people influence us

help us go further and make all the difference

I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-

tial people They have taken care of me ever since I

came into this world They are the ones who wish the

best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-

cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel

no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-

come a part of my personality They are the ones who

helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me

to be better

When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are

the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-

takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique

learning experience It has made me realise how eve-

rything they do has a reason They are the ones who

have taught me the importance of the little things in

life They are the ones who have helped me recognize

and follow my passion The very thought of them not

being a part of my life is scary to the least as without

them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am

today and whatever I have achieved is all because of

them and I am very grateful of that

Eyesight

-Aditi Shenoy VIII-F

The tired little girl went to bed

Recollecting the days bygone

Seeing them in her dreams

As the day she was born

Trying to see the world

With her little eyes

But the sun with his brightness

Wouldnt let her catch the sights

The girl still eager

And curious to see the world around her

Again opened her eyes

But her vision was blurred

Still she did not lose hope

Which flowed through her blood

Encouraging and pushing her

To see the world further

Her heart beating fast

Her enthusiasm increasing

She slowly tried to see

With her eyes continuously blinking

Starting to lose hope

She was ready to give up

But curiosity got the upper hand

And pushed her forward

With her hope again rising

and strength in her eyesight

She is finally seeing the world

With wide open eyes

Conquering the space

ldquoThere is no failure in Science it is only continual

effort to conquer the unknown On the way even if we

face failure it rather adds more value to our effort for

our next journey to know the unknownrdquo

Chandrayan-2 Indiarsquos Moon Mission The dream of

entire India to land on moon and become the 4th Na-

tion in the world to put its flag on the soil of moon

after USSR USA amp China

ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launched

Chandrayan-2 on 22nd July 2019 from Bengaluru

(Satish Dhawan Space Center) under the command of

ISRO chief K Shivan It consists of ORBITER

LANDER amp Lunar Rover PRAGYAN Like Chandra-

yan-1(22nd Oct2008) it was Indiarsquos indigenous moon

mission

It touched the Moon Surface on Saturday early morn-

ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-

ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-

ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of

moon it lost contact with the ground station Because

of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be

monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m

(approx) away from its assigned location near

SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still

orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange

signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it

The ORBITER which will remain active for another

12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-

owed portion of the moon for the first time in history

with the help of its high-resolution camera

The entire Nation irrespective of their field of

knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front

of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of

VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true

Indians who always dream progress and development

of their motherland But our heart never accepts this

as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement

for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-

pose of our mission

But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at

this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring

country quoting this as a big failure on part of India

blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos

money on this

Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will

be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to

this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other

nations on such missions

Further I should say that India is not new in the field

of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-

TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975

It was named after famous scientist of ancient India

ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested

for the first time the HELIOCENTRIC THEORY

(Sun at the center and all planets revolve around the

Sun) of the Solar System much earlier than ready for

New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 57

COPERNICUS as believed in the western world

Other countries might have moon on their flags but

we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is

great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are

whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-

rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is

only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the

unknown and its continual application for the benefit

of the mankind)rdquo

Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by

various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-

PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-

cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958

onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as

46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was

attempted out of which only 21 was successful

Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-

tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the

overall attempts conducted by other Nations

USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-

NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was

planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January

SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR

successfully on moon

NASA after many attempts was successful to send

first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th

July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk

on moon

Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-

clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-

SION MANGAL for our next moon mission

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 ldquoWomen Empowermentrdquo 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

Water is the force behind all the industry agriculture

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

without water No

water no life

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 -Aditys Patil VIII-E

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 askedwhere are

the schools There are no schools here Mother said

dont 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

The Day Irsquoll Never Forget - Saranya Sarangi VII -

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 hadnrsquot the thee

Perished laid the martyrs

Whom our motherland gave birth

I still remember that scaring sight

The scattered limbs I couldnrsquot see

My heart got filled with grief and fright

No Indian could glee

Terribly writhing the soldiers were seen

Some families languished and some

were crying

So loyal to their country they had been

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

I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom

O human Then why do you steal my FREEDOM

Binding me alone in the cage makes me sad

Donrsquot you know caging a bird is bad

Looking at the sky

I wish I could fly

I never disturb you

I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom

O human Then why do you steal my

FREEDOM

Summers in India - Saranya Sarangi VIII

A hot season beginning from April till May is what we

call summer And thatrsquos the basic rule in India But

thatrsquos 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 donrsquot 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-

dents can join different aca-

demic and co-curricular

courses to improve them-

selves Many children even spend time with their fami-

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 lsquoSummers in Indiarsquo

Exams are good or bad

- Nupoor Teli VIIIndashI

In my humble opinionexams are apressure on the stu-

dents They are forced to study and score good

markswhich 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 studybut 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

-daysthe main reason for studying is gaining marks If

there are no marksno career andno success This is the

mindset of 70 people of the worldespecially 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-

verthere are projectssubject-enrichment activi-

tieschapter test sfter every topicnotebookfile submis

sion etcAnd as acherry on top

of the cakewe have the semes-

ter exams of eighty marks as

well What all will the students

do And even if any extra-

curricular activities are being learntthen more extra

studies Just studystudy 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 notThey shouldnt be pressurized for

their marksbut 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 dont pressurize

students for what they dont likeand encourage them in

what they do After allthey 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

Never accept less than best

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 magicalhellip

Life is so magicalhellip

Humility -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D

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 personrsquos 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 personrsquos 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

canrsquot 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 yoursquore not strong enough to

stand up for yourself They think you surrender in-

stead of protesting They will despise and scorn you

but they donrsquot know that you take pleasure in what

you do because they havenrsquot experienced that kind of

joy

So if you do have humility donrsquot 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

Mom -Tanvi Sawant VII-C

Oh mom I came to this beautiful world just because

of youhellip

Mom what would I do without you

Oh mom there are thorns on the way

But you manage to get me awayhellip

Oh mom I canrsquot say how much yoursquore to me

Mom just promise me that yoursquoll and

always be with mehellip

Oh mom this world is incomplete

without you

Just like the sky without itrsquos bright color bluehellip

Oh mom yoursquore the candle that showed the way in the

dark

My dear mom you made my life spark

OUR FUTURE EARTH - Hiya Purswani VIII-B

We all know the present condition of our environment

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 Its 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 its 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 Itrsquos 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

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 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 Itrsquos 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 donʼt

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 quoterdquo 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

And wait the unfailing gray

Oh Sad are winter nights and slow

And sad is a song thatrsquos dumb

And sad it is to lie I know

Another dawn will come

Floods and Destruction

- Nirvi Soni IV-H

India faces occurrence of floods each year in some

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

Good Morning Everyone -Vyomi ThakkarVI - H

Come with me wersquoll have some fun

Wersquoll go on a walk

Donrsquot worry will have a great talk

Roaming around the ground

With beautiful birdrsquos sound

We donrsquot know if anything will be found

Wersquoll 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

-Shravya Atreya IX-D

Think before you speak

There are hearts you must please

Think before you speak

You canrsquot undo the harm done after you squeak

Think before you speak

You might have done greater harm than you might

think

Think before you speak

There are still places left for you

to seek

Think before you speak

There is a long way to go before

you sleep

Think before you speak

There are hearts you must

please

Sunrise -Anuradha Singh VII-H

Over the glimmering purple sea

enamelled sea

Everything is fine

With fading stars and rising light

GLOBAL WARMING - Adhyant Singh VII-F

Global warming refers to the steady rise in the Earthrsquos mean temperature The effect of global

warming had come into sight when polar ice caps started melting this phenomena is called ICE ndash

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 400000000000 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 Earthrsquos surface thus increasing the temperature and also

destroying the ozone layer which prevents the ultraviolet rays of the sun from reaching the earthrsquos 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 (CFCrsquoS) 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

earthrsquos doomsday we all must work together

Itrsquos not too late there is still timehellipBefore the earth ends and we whinehellipSo keep on marching and planting

greens To end Global Warming and Make our planet greenhellip

What will happen without Instagram

I asked who was the inventor

Again nobody was aware

I wondered why was it like so

Why is it they donrsquot know

There was one time we were

engrossed in books

Now we care more about our looks

Instagram wonrsquot give you a job

You will have to study and top

Your fellow followers wonrsquot help either

If you donrsquot have a job no one will bother

I give you wood

I need some sunlight

And some fresh air

I need some water

The Night - Matangi Rajesh VII-D

Its the night

The moon is white

When we switch off the light

What a beautiful sight

After this comes the sun bright

There is no more artificial light

This is the time to start your diet

To go for a run wearing tights

Then comes the evening when

you have snacks light

And fly a big colorful kite

or include your sibling in a pillow fight

Again comes the night

A moon which is white

We switch off the light

A beautiful sight

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 didnt 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 Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane

with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing

speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt 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-

perloops 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 itThe first Hyperloop ndash 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

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

wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-

ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities

chapter test after every topic notebookfile 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

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 lifeI fell that exams

should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate

whether the students are clear with the concepts or

not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but

should be made understand their mistakes Let them

choose their own career options on their own Help

them know what they like to study and what they want

to do in their life So dont pressurize students for

what they dont like and encourage them in what they

do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the

country

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B

Life is all about interactions You meet people and

you interact You observe them consciously or sub-

consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us

more than we even realise Some people leave a last-

ing impression on us and entirely change the course of

life for better or for worse Some people influence us

help us go further and make all the difference

I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-

tial people They have taken care of me ever since I

came into this world They are the ones who wish the

best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-

cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel

no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-

come a part of my personality They are the ones who

helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me

to be better

When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are

the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-

takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique

learning experience It has made me realise how eve-

rything they do has a reason They are the ones who

have taught me the importance of the little things in

life They are the ones who have helped me recognize

and follow my passion The very thought of them not

being a part of my life is scary to the least as without

them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am

today and whatever I have achieved is all because of

them and I am very grateful of that

Eyesight

-Aditi Shenoy VIII-F

The tired little girl went to bed

Recollecting the days bygone

Seeing them in her dreams

As the day she was born

Trying to see the world

With her little eyes

But the sun with his brightness

Wouldnt let her catch the sights

The girl still eager

And curious to see the world around her

Again opened her eyes

But her vision was blurred

Still she did not lose hope

Which flowed through her blood

Encouraging and pushing her

To see the world further

Her heart beating fast

Her enthusiasm increasing

She slowly tried to see

With her eyes continuously blinking

Starting to lose hope

She was ready to give up

But curiosity got the upper hand

And pushed her forward

With her hope again rising

and strength in her eyesight

She is finally seeing the world

With wide open eyes

ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-

ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of

moon it lost contact with the ground station Because

of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be

monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m

(approx) away from its assigned location near

SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still

orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange

signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it

The ORBITER which will remain active for another

12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-

owed portion of the moon for the first time in history

with the help of its high-resolution camera

The entire Nation irrespective of their field of

knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front

of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of

VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true

Indians who always dream progress and development

of their motherland But our heart never accepts this

as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement

for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-

pose of our mission

But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at

this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring

country quoting this as a big failure on part of India

blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos

money on this

Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will

be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to

this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other

nations on such missions

Further I should say that India is not new in the field

of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-

TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975

It was named after famous scientist of ancient India

ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested

for the first time the HELIOCENTRIC THEORY

(Sun at the center and all planets revolve around the

Sun) of the Solar System much earlier than ready for

New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 57

COPERNICUS as believed in the western world

Other countries might have moon on their flags but

we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is

great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are

whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-

rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is

only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the

unknown and its continual application for the benefit

of the mankind)rdquo

Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by

various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-

PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-

cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958

onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as

46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was

attempted out of which only 21 was successful

Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-

tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the

overall attempts conducted by other Nations

USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-

NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was

planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January

SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR

successfully on moon

NASA after many attempts was successful to send

first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th

July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk

on moon

Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-

clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-

SION MANGAL for our next moon mission

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 ldquoWomen Empowermentrdquo 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

Water is the force behind all the industry agriculture

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

without water No

water no life

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 -Aditys Patil VIII-E

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 askedwhere are

the schools There are no schools here Mother said

dont 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

The Day Irsquoll Never Forget - Saranya Sarangi VII -

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 hadnrsquot the thee

Perished laid the martyrs

Whom our motherland gave birth

I still remember that scaring sight

The scattered limbs I couldnrsquot see

My heart got filled with grief and fright

No Indian could glee

Terribly writhing the soldiers were seen

Some families languished and some

were crying

So loyal to their country they had been

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

I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom

O human Then why do you steal my FREEDOM

Binding me alone in the cage makes me sad

Donrsquot you know caging a bird is bad

Looking at the sky

I wish I could fly

I never disturb you

I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom

O human Then why do you steal my

FREEDOM

Summers in India - Saranya Sarangi VIII

A hot season beginning from April till May is what we

call summer And thatrsquos the basic rule in India But

thatrsquos 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 donrsquot 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-

dents can join different aca-

demic and co-curricular

courses to improve them-

selves Many children even spend time with their fami-

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 lsquoSummers in Indiarsquo

Exams are good or bad

- Nupoor Teli VIIIndashI

In my humble opinionexams are apressure on the stu-

dents They are forced to study and score good

markswhich 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 studybut 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

-daysthe main reason for studying is gaining marks If

there are no marksno career andno success This is the

mindset of 70 people of the worldespecially 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-

verthere are projectssubject-enrichment activi-

tieschapter test sfter every topicnotebookfile submis

sion etcAnd as acherry on top

of the cakewe have the semes-

ter exams of eighty marks as

well What all will the students

do And even if any extra-

curricular activities are being learntthen more extra

studies Just studystudy 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 notThey shouldnt be pressurized for

their marksbut 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 dont pressurize

students for what they dont likeand encourage them in

what they do After allthey 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

Never accept less than best

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 magicalhellip

Life is so magicalhellip

Humility -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D

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 personrsquos 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 personrsquos 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

canrsquot 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 yoursquore not strong enough to

stand up for yourself They think you surrender in-

stead of protesting They will despise and scorn you

but they donrsquot know that you take pleasure in what

you do because they havenrsquot experienced that kind of

joy

So if you do have humility donrsquot 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

Mom -Tanvi Sawant VII-C

Oh mom I came to this beautiful world just because

of youhellip

Mom what would I do without you

Oh mom there are thorns on the way

But you manage to get me awayhellip

Oh mom I canrsquot say how much yoursquore to me

Mom just promise me that yoursquoll and

always be with mehellip

Oh mom this world is incomplete

without you

Just like the sky without itrsquos bright color bluehellip

Oh mom yoursquore the candle that showed the way in the

dark

My dear mom you made my life spark

OUR FUTURE EARTH - Hiya Purswani VIII-B

We all know the present condition of our environment

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 Its 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 its 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 Itrsquos 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

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 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 Itrsquos 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 donʼt

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 quoterdquo 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

And wait the unfailing gray

Oh Sad are winter nights and slow

And sad is a song thatrsquos dumb

And sad it is to lie I know

Another dawn will come

Floods and Destruction

- Nirvi Soni IV-H

India faces occurrence of floods each year in some

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

Good Morning Everyone -Vyomi ThakkarVI - H

Come with me wersquoll have some fun

Wersquoll go on a walk

Donrsquot worry will have a great talk

Roaming around the ground

With beautiful birdrsquos sound

We donrsquot know if anything will be found

Wersquoll 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

-Shravya Atreya IX-D

Think before you speak

There are hearts you must please

Think before you speak

You canrsquot undo the harm done after you squeak

Think before you speak

You might have done greater harm than you might

think

Think before you speak

There are still places left for you

to seek

Think before you speak

There is a long way to go before

you sleep

Think before you speak

There are hearts you must

please

Sunrise -Anuradha Singh VII-H

GLOBAL WARMING - Adhyant Singh VII-F

Global warming refers to the steady rise in the Earthrsquos mean temperature The effect of global

warming had come into sight when polar ice caps started melting this phenomena is called ICE ndash

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 400000000000 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 Earthrsquos surface thus increasing the temperature and also

destroying the ozone layer which prevents the ultraviolet rays of the sun from reaching the earthrsquos 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 (CFCrsquoS) 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

earthrsquos doomsday we all must work together

Itrsquos not too late there is still timehellipBefore the earth ends and we whinehellipSo keep on marching and planting

greens To end Global Warming and Make our planet greenhellip

The Night - Matangi Rajesh VII-D

Its the night

The moon is white

When we switch off the light

What a beautiful sight

After this comes the sun bright

There is no more artificial light

This is the time to start your diet

To go for a run wearing tights

Then comes the evening when

you have snacks light

And fly a big colorful kite

or include your sibling in a pillow fight

Again comes the night

A moon which is white

We switch off the light

A beautiful sight

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 didnt 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 Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane

with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing

speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt 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-

perloops 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 itThe first Hyperloop ndash 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

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

wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-

ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities

chapter test after every topic notebookfile 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

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 lifeI fell that exams

should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate

whether the students are clear with the concepts or

not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but

should be made understand their mistakes Let them

choose their own career options on their own Help

them know what they like to study and what they want

to do in their life So dont pressurize students for

what they dont like and encourage them in what they

do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the

country

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B

Life is all about interactions You meet people and

you interact You observe them consciously or sub-

consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us

more than we even realise Some people leave a last-

ing impression on us and entirely change the course of

life for better or for worse Some people influence us

help us go further and make all the difference

I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-

tial people They have taken care of me ever since I

came into this world They are the ones who wish the

best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-

cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel

no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-

come a part of my personality They are the ones who

helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me

to be better

When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are

the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-

takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique

learning experience It has made me realise how eve-

rything they do has a reason They are the ones who

have taught me the importance of the little things in

life They are the ones who have helped me recognize

and follow my passion The very thought of them not

being a part of my life is scary to the least as without

them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am

today and whatever I have achieved is all because of

them and I am very grateful of that

Eyesight

-Aditi Shenoy VIII-F

The tired little girl went to bed

Recollecting the days bygone

Seeing them in her dreams

As the day she was born

Trying to see the world

With her little eyes

But the sun with his brightness

Wouldnt let her catch the sights

The girl still eager

And curious to see the world around her

Again opened her eyes

But her vision was blurred

Still she did not lose hope

Which flowed through her blood

Encouraging and pushing her

To see the world further

Her heart beating fast

Her enthusiasm increasing

She slowly tried to see

With her eyes continuously blinking

Starting to lose hope

She was ready to give up

But curiosity got the upper hand

And pushed her forward

With her hope again rising

and strength in her eyesight

She is finally seeing the world

With wide open eyes

Conquering the space

-Marisha Nath VIII-C

ldquoThere is no failure in Science it is only continual

effort to conquer the unknown On the way even if we

face failure it rather adds more value to our effort for

our next journey to know the unknownrdquo

Chandrayan-2 Indiarsquos Moon Mission The dream of

entire India to land on moon and become the 4th Na-

tion in the world to put its flag on the soil of moon

after USSR USA amp China

ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launched

Chandrayan-2 on 22nd July 2019 from Bengaluru

(Satish Dhawan Space Center) under the command of

ISRO chief K Shivan It consists of ORBITER

LANDER amp Lunar Rover PRAGYAN Like Chandra-

yan-1(22nd Oct2008) it was Indiarsquos indigenous moon

mission

It touched the Moon Surface on Saturday early morn-

ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-

ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-

ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of

moon it lost contact with the ground station Because

of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be

monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m

(approx) away from its assigned location near

SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still

orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange

signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it

The ORBITER which will remain active for another

12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-

owed portion of the moon for the first time in history

with the help of its high-resolution camera

The entire Nation irrespective of their field of

knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front

of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of

VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true

Indians who always dream progress and development

of their motherland But our heart never accepts this

as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement

for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-

pose of our mission

But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at

this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring

country quoting this as a big failure on part of India

blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos

money on this

Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will

be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to

this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other

nations on such missions

Further I should say that India is not new in the field

of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-

TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975

It was named after famous scientist of ancient India

ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested

for the first time the HELIOCENTRIC THEORY

(Sun at the center and all planets revolve around the

Sun) of the Solar System much earlier than ready for

New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 57

COPERNICUS as believed in the western world

Other countries might have moon on their flags but

we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is

great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are

whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-

rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is

only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the

unknown and its continual application for the benefit

of the mankind)rdquo

Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by

various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-

PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-

cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958

onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as

46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was

attempted out of which only 21 was successful

Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-

tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the

overall attempts conducted by other Nations

USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-

NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was

planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January

SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR

successfully on moon

NASA after many attempts was successful to send

first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th

July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk

on moon

Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-

clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-

SION MANGAL for our next moon mission

The kind Fairies -Aditys Patil VIII-E

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 askedwhere are

the schools There are no schools here Mother said

dont 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

The Day Irsquoll Never Forget - Saranya Sarangi VII -

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 hadnrsquot the thee

Perished laid the martyrs

Whom our motherland gave birth

I still remember that scaring sight

The scattered limbs I couldnrsquot see

My heart got filled with grief and fright

No Indian could glee

Terribly writhing the soldiers were seen

Some families languished and some

were crying

So loyal to their country they had been

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

I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom

O human Then why do you steal my FREEDOM

Binding me alone in the cage makes me sad

Donrsquot you know caging a bird is bad

Looking at the sky

I wish I could fly

I never disturb you

I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom

O human Then why do you steal my

FREEDOM

Summers in India - Saranya Sarangi VIII

A hot season beginning from April till May is what we

call summer And thatrsquos the basic rule in India But

thatrsquos 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 donrsquot 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-

dents can join different aca-

demic and co-curricular

courses to improve them-

selves Many children even spend time with their fami-

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 lsquoSummers in Indiarsquo

Exams are good or bad

- Nupoor Teli VIIIndashI

In my humble opinionexams are apressure on the stu-

dents They are forced to study and score good

markswhich 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 studybut 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

-daysthe main reason for studying is gaining marks If

there are no marksno career andno success This is the

mindset of 70 people of the worldespecially 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-

verthere are projectssubject-enrichment activi-

tieschapter test sfter every topicnotebookfile submis

sion etcAnd as acherry on top

of the cakewe have the semes-

ter exams of eighty marks as

well What all will the students

do And even if any extra-

curricular activities are being learntthen more extra

studies Just studystudy 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 notThey shouldnt be pressurized for

their marksbut 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 dont pressurize

students for what they dont likeand encourage them in

what they do After allthey 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

Never accept less than best

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 magicalhellip

Life is so magicalhellip

Humility -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D

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 personrsquos 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 personrsquos 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

canrsquot 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 yoursquore not strong enough to

stand up for yourself They think you surrender in-

stead of protesting They will despise and scorn you

but they donrsquot know that you take pleasure in what

you do because they havenrsquot experienced that kind of

joy

So if you do have humility donrsquot 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

Mom -Tanvi Sawant VII-C

Oh mom I came to this beautiful world just because

of youhellip

Mom what would I do without you

Oh mom there are thorns on the way

But you manage to get me awayhellip

Oh mom I canrsquot say how much yoursquore to me

Mom just promise me that yoursquoll and

always be with mehellip

Oh mom this world is incomplete

without you

Just like the sky without itrsquos bright color bluehellip

Oh mom yoursquore the candle that showed the way in the

dark

My dear mom you made my life spark

OUR FUTURE EARTH - Hiya Purswani VIII-B

We all know the present condition of our environment

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 Its 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 its 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 Itrsquos 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

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 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 Itrsquos 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 donʼt

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 quoterdquo 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

And wait the unfailing gray

Oh Sad are winter nights and slow

And sad is a song thatrsquos dumb

And sad it is to lie I know

Another dawn will come

Floods and Destruction

- Nirvi Soni IV-H

India faces occurrence of floods each year in some

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

Good Morning Everyone -Vyomi ThakkarVI - H

Come with me wersquoll have some fun

Wersquoll go on a walk

Donrsquot worry will have a great talk

Roaming around the ground

With beautiful birdrsquos sound

We donrsquot know if anything will be found

Wersquoll 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

-Shravya Atreya IX-D

Think before you speak

There are hearts you must please

Think before you speak

You canrsquot undo the harm done after you squeak

Think before you speak

You might have done greater harm than you might

think

Think before you speak

There are still places left for you

to seek

Think before you speak

There is a long way to go before

you sleep

Think before you speak

There are hearts you must

please

Sunrise -Anuradha Singh VII-H

GLOBAL WARMING - Adhyant Singh VII-F

Global warming refers to the steady rise in the Earthrsquos mean temperature The effect of global

warming had come into sight when polar ice caps started melting this phenomena is called ICE ndash

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 400000000000 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 Earthrsquos surface thus increasing the temperature and also

destroying the ozone layer which prevents the ultraviolet rays of the sun from reaching the earthrsquos 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 (CFCrsquoS) 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

earthrsquos doomsday we all must work together

Itrsquos not too late there is still timehellipBefore the earth ends and we whinehellipSo keep on marching and planting

greens To end Global Warming and Make our planet greenhellip

The Night - Matangi Rajesh VII-D

Its the night

The moon is white

When we switch off the light

What a beautiful sight

After this comes the sun bright

There is no more artificial light

This is the time to start your diet

To go for a run wearing tights

Then comes the evening when

you have snacks light

And fly a big colorful kite

or include your sibling in a pillow fight

Again comes the night

A moon which is white

We switch off the light

A beautiful sight

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 didnt 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 Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane

with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing

speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt 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-

perloops 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 itThe first Hyperloop ndash 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

Exams are good or bad -Nupoor Teli VIII

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

wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-

ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities

chapter test after every topic notebookfile 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

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 lifeI fell that exams

should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate

whether the students are clear with the concepts or

not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but

should be made understand their mistakes Let them

choose their own career options on their own Help

them know what they like to study and what they want

to do in their life So dont pressurize students for

do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B

Life is all about interactions You meet people and

you interact You observe them consciously or sub-

consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us

more than we even realise Some people leave a last-

ing impression on us and entirely change the course of

life for better or for worse Some people influence us

help us go further and make all the difference

I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-

tial people They have taken care of me ever since I

came into this world They are the ones who wish the

best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-

cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel

no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-

come a part of my personality They are the ones who

helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me

to be better

When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are

the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-

takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique

learning experience It has made me realise how eve-

rything they do has a reason They are the ones who

have taught me the importance of the little things in

life They are the ones who have helped me recognize

and follow my passion The very thought of them not

being a part of my life is scary to the least as without

them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am

today and whatever I have achieved is all because of

them and I am very grateful of that

Eyesight

-Aditi Shenoy VIII-F

The tired little girl went to bed

Recollecting the days bygone

Seeing them in her dreams

As the day she was born

Trying to see the world

With her little eyes

But the sun with his brightness

Wouldnt let her catch the sights

The girl still eager

And curious to see the world around her

Again opened her eyes

But her vision was blurred

Still she did not lose hope

Which flowed through her blood

Encouraging and pushing her

To see the world further

Her heart beating fast

Her enthusiasm increasing

She slowly tried to see

With her eyes continuously blinking

Starting to lose hope

She was ready to give up

But curiosity got the upper hand

And pushed her forward

With her hope again rising

and strength in her eyesight

She is finally seeing the world

With wide open eyes

Conquering the space

-Marisha Nath VIII-C

ldquoThere is no failure in Science it is only continual

effort to conquer the unknown On the way even if we

face failure it rather adds more value to our effort for

our next journey to know the unknownrdquo

Chandrayan-2 Indiarsquos Moon Mission The dream of

entire India to land on moon and become the 4th Na-

tion in the world to put its flag on the soil of moon

after USSR USA amp China

ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launched

Chandrayan-2 on 22nd July 2019 from Bengaluru

(Satish Dhawan Space Center) under the command of

ISRO chief K Shivan It consists of ORBITER

LANDER amp Lunar Rover PRAGYAN Like Chandra-

yan-1(22nd Oct2008) it was Indiarsquos indigenous moon

mission

It touched the Moon Surface on Saturday early morn-

ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-

ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-

ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of

moon it lost contact with the ground station Because

of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be

monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m

(approx) away from its assigned location near

SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still

orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange

signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it

The ORBITER which will remain active for another

12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-

owed portion of the moon for the first time in history

with the help of its high-resolution camera

The entire Nation irrespective of their field of

knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front

of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of

VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true

Indians who always dream progress and development

of their motherland But our heart never accepts this

as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement

for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-

pose of our mission

But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at

this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring

country quoting this as a big failure on part of India

blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos

money on this

Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will

be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to

this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other

nations on such missions

Further I should say that India is not new in the field

of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-

TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975

It was named after famous scientist of ancient India

ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested

for the first time the HELIOCENTRIC THEORY

(Sun at the center and all planets revolve around the

Sun) of the Solar System much earlier than ready for

New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 57

COPERNICUS as believed in the western world

Other countries might have moon on their flags but

we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is

great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are

whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-

rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is

only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the

unknown and its continual application for the benefit

of the mankind)rdquo

Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by

various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-

PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-

cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958

onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as

46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was

attempted out of which only 21 was successful

Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-

tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the

overall attempts conducted by other Nations

USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-

NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was

planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January

SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR

successfully on moon

NASA after many attempts was successful to send

first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th

July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk

on moon

Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-

clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-

SION MANGAL for our next moon mission

Summers in India - Saranya Sarangi VIII

A hot season beginning from April till May is what we

call summer And thatrsquos the basic rule in India But

thatrsquos 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 donrsquot 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-

dents can join different aca-

demic and co-curricular

courses to improve them-

selves Many children even spend time with their fami-

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 lsquoSummers in Indiarsquo

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

Never accept less than best

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 magicalhellip

Life is so magicalhellip

Humility -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D

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 personrsquos 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 personrsquos 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

canrsquot 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 yoursquore not strong enough to

stand up for yourself They think you surrender in-

stead of protesting They will despise and scorn you

but they donrsquot know that you take pleasure in what

you do because they havenrsquot experienced that kind of

joy

So if you do have humility donrsquot 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

Mom -Tanvi Sawant VII-C

Oh mom I came to this beautiful world just because

of youhellip

Mom what would I do without you

Oh mom there are thorns on the way

But you manage to get me awayhellip

Oh mom I canrsquot say how much yoursquore to me

Mom just promise me that yoursquoll and

always be with mehellip

Oh mom this world is incomplete

without you

Just like the sky without itrsquos bright color bluehellip

Oh mom yoursquore the candle that showed the way in the

dark

My dear mom you made my life spark

OUR FUTURE EARTH - Hiya Purswani VIII-B

We all know the present condition of our environment

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 Its 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 its 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 Itrsquos 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

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 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 Itrsquos 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 donʼt

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 quoterdquo 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

And wait the unfailing gray

Oh Sad are winter nights and slow

And sad is a song thatrsquos dumb

And sad it is to lie I know

Another dawn will come

Floods and Destruction

- Nirvi Soni IV-H

India faces occurrence of floods each year in some

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

Good Morning Everyone -Vyomi ThakkarVI - H

Come with me wersquoll have some fun

Wersquoll go on a walk

Donrsquot worry will have a great talk

Roaming around the ground

With beautiful birdrsquos sound

We donrsquot know if anything will be found

Wersquoll 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

-Shravya Atreya IX-D

Think before you speak

There are hearts you must please

Think before you speak

You canrsquot undo the harm done after you squeak

Think before you speak

You might have done greater harm than you might

think

Think before you speak

There are still places left for you

to seek

Think before you speak

There is a long way to go before

you sleep

Think before you speak

There are hearts you must

please

Sunrise -Anuradha Singh VII-H

Over the glimmering purple sea

Under the golden sun rise

The Island dreams under the dawn

And the message is carried by the wind that blows

A sparrow sways upon a tree

staring at his own in the

enamelled sea

Everything is fine

With fading stars and rising light

GLOBAL WARMING - Adhyant Singh VII-F

Global warming refers to the steady rise in the Earthrsquos mean temperature The effect of global

warming had come into sight when polar ice caps started melting this phenomena is called ICE ndash

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 400000000000 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 Earthrsquos surface thus increasing the temperature and also

destroying the ozone layer which prevents the ultraviolet rays of the sun from reaching the earthrsquos 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 (CFCrsquoS) 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

earthrsquos doomsday we all must work together

Itrsquos not too late there is still timehellipBefore the earth ends and we whinehellipSo keep on marching and planting

greens To end Global Warming and Make our planet greenhellip

What will happen without Instagram

Instagram Instagram Instagram

I was hearing it from everyone

I asked who was the inventor

Nobody knew the answer to my question

Mobiles Mobiles Mobiles

I asked who was the inventor

Again nobody was aware

I wondered why was it like so

Why is it they donrsquot know

There was one time we were

engrossed in books

Now we care more about our looks

Instagram wonrsquot give you a job

You will have to study and top

Your fellow followers wonrsquot help either

If you donrsquot have a job no one will bother

The Night - Matangi Rajesh VII-D

Its the night

The moon is white

When we switch off the light

What a beautiful sight

After this comes the sun bright

There is no more artificial light

This is the time to start your diet

To go for a run wearing tights

Then comes the evening when

you have snacks light

And fly a big colorful kite

or include your sibling in a pillow fight

Again comes the night

A moon which is white

We switch off the light

A beautiful sight

heavy duty rockets designs and fabricates some of the most sophisticated satellites In a singular achievement

Indiarsquos 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 ldquoharness space technology ldquofor 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 ISROrsquos Fat Boyrsquo

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

Indiarsquos 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 didnt 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 Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane

with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing

speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt 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-

perloops 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 itThe first Hyperloop ndash 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-

Exams are good or bad -Nupoor Teli VIII

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

wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-

ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities

chapter test after every topic notebookfile 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

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 lifeI fell that exams

should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate

whether the students are clear with the concepts or

not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but

should be made understand their mistakes Let them

choose their own career options on their own Help

them know what they like to study and what they want

to do in their life So dont pressurize students for

what they dont like and encourage them in what they

do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the

country

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B

Life is all about interactions You meet people and

you interact You observe them consciously or sub-

consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us

more than we even realise Some people leave a last-

ing impression on us and entirely change the course of

life for better or for worse Some people influence us

help us go further and make all the difference

I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-

tial people They have taken care of me ever since I

came into this world They are the ones who wish the

best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-

cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel

no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-

come a part of my personality They are the ones who

helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me

to be better

When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are

the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-

takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique

learning experience It has made me realise how eve-

rything they do has a reason They are the ones who

have taught me the importance of the little things in

life They are the ones who have helped me recognize

and follow my passion The very thought of them not

being a part of my life is scary to the least as without

them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am

today and whatever I have achieved is all because of

them and I am very grateful of that

Eyesight

-Aditi Shenoy VIII-F

The tired little girl went to bed

Recollecting the days bygone

Seeing them in her dreams

As the day she was born

Trying to see the world

With her little eyes

But the sun with his brightness

Wouldnt let her catch the sights

The girl still eager

And curious to see the world around her

Again opened her eyes

But her vision was blurred

Still she did not lose hope

Which flowed through her blood

Encouraging and pushing her

To see the world further

Her heart beating fast

Her enthusiasm increasing

She slowly tried to see

With her eyes continuously blinking

Starting to lose hope

She was ready to give up

But curiosity got the upper hand

And pushed her forward

With her hope again rising

and strength in her eyesight

She is finally seeing the world

With wide open eyes

Conquering the space

-Marisha Nath VIII-C

ldquoThere is no failure in Science it is only continual

effort to conquer the unknown On the way even if we

face failure it rather adds more value to our effort for

our next journey to know the unknownrdquo

Chandrayan-2 Indiarsquos Moon Mission The dream of

entire India to land on moon and become the 4th Na-

tion in the world to put its flag on the soil of moon

after USSR USA amp China

ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launched

Chandrayan-2 on 22nd July 2019 from Bengaluru

(Satish Dhawan Space Center) under the command of

ISRO chief K Shivan It consists of ORBITER

LANDER amp Lunar Rover PRAGYAN Like Chandra-

yan-1(22nd Oct2008) it was Indiarsquos indigenous moon

mission

It touched the Moon Surface on Saturday early morn-

ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-

ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-

ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of

moon it lost contact with the ground station Because

of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be

monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m

(approx) away from its assigned location near

SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still

orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange

signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it

The ORBITER which will remain active for another

12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-

owed portion of the moon for the first time in history

with the help of its high-resolution camera

The entire Nation irrespective of their field of

knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front

of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of

VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true

Indians who always dream progress and development

of their motherland But our heart never accepts this

as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement

for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-

pose of our mission

But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at

this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring

country quoting this as a big failure on part of India

blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos

money on this

Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will

be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to

this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other

nations on such missions

Further I should say that India is not new in the field

of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-

TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975

It was named after famous scientist of ancient India

ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested

for the first time the HELIOCENTRIC THEORY

(Sun at the center and all planets revolve around the

Sun) of the Solar System much earlier than ready for

New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 57

COPERNICUS as believed in the western world

Other countries might have moon on their flags but

we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is

great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are

whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-

rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is

only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the

unknown and its continual application for the benefit

of the mankind)rdquo

Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by

various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-

PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-

cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958

onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as

46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was

attempted out of which only 21 was successful

Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-

tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the

overall attempts conducted by other Nations

USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-

NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was

planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January

SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR

successfully on moon

NASA after many attempts was successful to send

first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th

July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk

on moon

Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-

clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-

SION MANGAL for our next moon mission

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

Never accept less than best

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 magicalhellip

Life is so magicalhellip

Humility -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D

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 personrsquos 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 personrsquos 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

canrsquot 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 yoursquore not strong enough to

stand up for yourself They think you surrender in-

stead of protesting They will despise and scorn you

but they donrsquot know that you take pleasure in what

you do because they havenrsquot experienced that kind of

joy

So if you do have humility donrsquot 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

Mom -Tanvi Sawant VII-C

Oh mom I came to this beautiful world just because

of youhellip

Mom what would I do without you

Oh mom there are thorns on the way

But you manage to get me awayhellip

Oh mom I canrsquot say how much yoursquore to me

Mom just promise me that yoursquoll and

always be with mehellip

Oh mom this world is incomplete

without you

Just like the sky without itrsquos bright color bluehellip

Oh mom yoursquore the candle that showed the way in the

dark

My dear mom you made my life spark

Hello I am the Earth

For me I am the sweetest heart

I provide you with lots of stuff

With food and the mangoes that you love

I give you water soil and Sun

I am special as I am just one

But the humans living on me

Are making me dirty

They are cutting all the trees

And killing all the species helliphellip

They filling me with smoke and death

They are killing themselves

with lack of breath

I am the Earth

I am your mother

Make me the best by pol-

luting me less and less

And preventing my green dress

You can save water

you plant a tree

Make a better home for you on me

Recycle things donrsquot throw them awayhellip

OUR FUTURE EARTH - Hiya Purswani VIII-B

We all know the present condition of our environment

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 Its 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 its 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 Itrsquos 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

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 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 Itrsquos 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 donʼt

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 quoterdquo 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

And wait the unfailing gray

Oh Sad are winter nights and slow

And sad is a song thatrsquos dumb

And sad it is to lie I know

Another dawn will come

Floods and Destruction

- Nirvi Soni IV-H

India faces occurrence of floods each year in some

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

Good Morning Everyone -Vyomi ThakkarVI - H

Come with me wersquoll have some fun

Wersquoll go on a walk

Donrsquot worry will have a great talk

Roaming around the ground

With beautiful birdrsquos sound

We donrsquot know if anything will be found

Wersquoll 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

-Shravya Atreya IX-D

Think before you speak

There are hearts you must please

Think before you speak

You canrsquot undo the harm done after you squeak

Think before you speak

You might have done greater harm than you might

think

Think before you speak

There are still places left for you

to seek

Think before you speak

There is a long way to go before

you sleep

Think before you speak

There are hearts you must

please

Sunrise -Anuradha Singh VII-H

Over the glimmering purple sea

Under the golden sun rise

The Island dreams under the dawn

And the message is carried by the wind that blows

across the bitter sea

A sparrow sways upon a tree

staring at his own in the

enamelled sea

Everything is fine

With fading stars and rising light

GLOBAL WARMING - Adhyant Singh VII-F

Global warming refers to the steady rise in the Earthrsquos mean temperature The effect of global

warming had come into sight when polar ice caps started melting this phenomena is called ICE ndash

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 400000000000 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 Earthrsquos surface thus increasing the temperature and also

destroying the ozone layer which prevents the ultraviolet rays of the sun from reaching the earthrsquos 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 (CFCrsquoS) 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

earthrsquos doomsday we all must work together

Itrsquos not too late there is still timehellipBefore the earth ends and we whinehellipSo keep on marching and planting

greens To end Global Warming and Make our planet greenhellip

What will happen without Instagram

- Kaavya Chaudhary VII-F

Instagram Instagram Instagram

I was hearing it from everyone

I asked who was the inventor

Nobody knew the answer to my question

Mobiles Mobiles Mobiles

I was able to see them everywhere

I asked who was the inventor

Again nobody was aware

I wondered why was it like so

Why is it they donrsquot know

There was one time we were

engrossed in books

Now we care more about our looks

Instagram wonrsquot give you a job

You will have to study and top

Your fellow followers wonrsquot help either

If you donrsquot have a job no one will bother

I am a tree

- Yashawini Pillai

I am a tree

With a dark green crown

And a thick strong trunk

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

Its the night

The moon is white

When we switch off the light

What a beautiful sight

After this comes the sun bright

There is no more artificial light

This is the time to start your diet

To go for a run wearing tights

Then comes the evening when

you have snacks light

And fly a big colorful kite

or include your sibling in a pillow fight

Again comes the night

A moon which is white

We switch off the light

A beautiful sight

INDIArsquoS 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

Indiarsquos 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 ldquoharness space technology ldquofor 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 ISROrsquos Fat Boyrsquo

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

Indiarsquos 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 didnt 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 Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane

with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing

speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt 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-

perloops 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 itThe first Hyperloop ndash 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

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

wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-

ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities

chapter test after every topic notebookfile 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

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 lifeI fell that exams

should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate

whether the students are clear with the concepts or

not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but

should be made understand their mistakes Let them

choose their own career options on their own Help

them know what they like to study and what they want

to do in their life So dont pressurize students for

what they dont like and encourage them in what they

do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B

Life is all about interactions You meet people and

more than we even realise Some people leave a last-

help us go further and make all the difference

I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-

no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-

When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are

being a part of my life is scary to the least as without

them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am

today and whatever I have achieved is all because of

them and I am very grateful of that

Eyesight

-Aditi Shenoy VIII-F

The tired little girl went to bed

Recollecting the days bygone

Seeing them in her dreams

As the day she was born

Trying to see the world

With her little eyes

But the sun with his brightness

Wouldnt let her catch the sights

The girl still eager

And curious to see the world around her

Again opened her eyes

But her vision was blurred

Still she did not lose hope

Which flowed through her blood

Encouraging and pushing her

To see the world further

Her heart beating fast

Her enthusiasm increasing

She slowly tried to see

With her eyes continuously blinking

Starting to lose hope

She was ready to give up

But curiosity got the upper hand

And pushed her forward

With her hope again rising

and strength in her eyesight

She is finally seeing the world

With wide open eyes

Conquering the space

-Marisha Nath VIII-C

ldquoThere is no failure in Science it is only continual

effort to conquer the unknown On the way even if we

face failure it rather adds more value to our effort for

our next journey to know the unknownrdquo

Chandrayan-2 Indiarsquos Moon Mission The dream of

entire India to land on moon and become the 4th Na-

tion in the world to put its flag on the soil of moon

after USSR USA amp China

ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launched

Chandrayan-2 on 22nd July 2019 from Bengaluru

(Satish Dhawan Space Center) under the command of

ISRO chief K Shivan It consists of ORBITER

LANDER amp Lunar Rover PRAGYAN Like Chandra-

yan-1(22nd Oct2008) it was Indiarsquos indigenous moon

mission

It touched the Moon Surface on Saturday early morn-

ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-

ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-

ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of

moon it lost contact with the ground station Because

of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be

monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m

(approx) away from its assigned location near

SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still

orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange

signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it

The ORBITER which will remain active for another

12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-

owed portion of the moon for the first time in history

with the help of its high-resolution camera

The entire Nation irrespective of their field of

knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front

of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of

VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true

Indians who always dream progress and development

of their motherland But our heart never accepts this

as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement

for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-

pose of our mission

But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at

this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring

country quoting this as a big failure on part of India

blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos

money on this

Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will

be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to

this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other

nations on such missions

Further I should say that India is not new in the field

of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-

TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975

It was named after famous scientist of ancient India

ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested

for the first time the HELIOCENTRIC THEORY

(Sun at the center and all planets revolve around the

Sun) of the Solar System much earlier than ready for

New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 57

COPERNICUS as believed in the western world

Other countries might have moon on their flags but

we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is

great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are

whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-

rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is

only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the

unknown and its continual application for the benefit

of the mankind)rdquo

Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by

various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-

PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-

cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958

onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as

46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was

attempted out of which only 21 was successful

Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-

tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the

overall attempts conducted by other Nations

USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-

NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was

planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January

SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR

successfully on moon

NASA after many attempts was successful to send

first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th

July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk

on moon

Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-

clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-

SION MANGAL for our next moon mission

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

Never accept less than best

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 magicalhellip

Life is so magicalhellip

Humility -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D

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 personrsquos 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 personrsquos 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

canrsquot 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 yoursquore not strong enough to

stand up for yourself They think you surrender in-

stead of protesting They will despise and scorn you

but they donrsquot know that you take pleasure in what

you do because they havenrsquot experienced that kind of

joy

So if you do have humility donrsquot 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

Mom -Tanvi Sawant VII-C

Oh mom I came to this beautiful world just because

of youhellip

Mom what would I do without you

Oh mom there are thorns on the way

But you manage to get me awayhellip

Oh mom I canrsquot say how much yoursquore to me

Mom just promise me that yoursquoll and

always be with mehellip

Oh mom this world is incomplete

without you

Just like the sky without itrsquos bright color bluehellip

Oh mom yoursquore the candle that showed the way in the

dark

My dear mom you made my life spark

luting me less and less

And preventing my green dress

You can save water

you plant a tree

Make a better home for you on me

Recycle things donrsquot throw them awayhellip

OUR FUTURE EARTH - Hiya Purswani VIII-B

We all know the present condition of our environment

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 Its 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 its 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 Itrsquos 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

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 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 Itrsquos 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 donʼt

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 quoterdquo 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

And wait the unfailing gray

Oh Sad are winter nights and slow

And sad is a song thatrsquos dumb

And sad it is to lie I know

Another dawn will come

Floods and Destruction

- Nirvi Soni IV-H

India faces occurrence of floods each year in some

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

Good Morning Everyone -Vyomi ThakkarVI - H

Come with me wersquoll have some fun

Wersquoll go on a walk

Donrsquot worry will have a great talk

Roaming around the ground

With beautiful birdrsquos sound

We donrsquot know if anything will be found

Wersquoll 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

-Shravya Atreya IX-D

Think before you speak

There are hearts you must please

Think before you speak

You canrsquot undo the harm done after you squeak

Think before you speak

You might have done greater harm than you might

think

Think before you speak

There are still places left for you

to seek

Think before you speak

There is a long way to go before

you sleep

Think before you speak

There are hearts you must

please

Sunrise -Anuradha Singh VII-H

Over the glimmering purple sea

Under the golden sun rise

staring at his own in the

enamelled sea

Everything is fine

With fading stars and rising light

GLOBAL WARMING - Adhyant Singh VII-F

Global warming refers to the steady rise in the Earthrsquos mean temperature The effect of global

warming had come into sight when polar ice caps started melting this phenomena is called ICE ndash

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 400000000000 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 Earthrsquos surface thus increasing the temperature and also

destroying the ozone layer which prevents the ultraviolet rays of the sun from reaching the earthrsquos 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 (CFCrsquoS) 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

earthrsquos doomsday we all must work together

Itrsquos not too late there is still timehellipBefore the earth ends and we whinehellipSo keep on marching and planting

greens To end Global Warming and Make our planet greenhellip

What will happen without Instagram

I asked who was the inventor

Nobody knew the answer to my question

Mobiles Mobiles Mobiles

I asked who was the inventor

Again nobody was aware

I wondered why was it like so

Why is it they donrsquot know

There was one time we were

engrossed in books

Now we care more about our looks

Instagram wonrsquot give you a job

You will have to study and top

Your fellow followers wonrsquot help either

If you donrsquot have a job no one will bother

I am a tree

I give you wood

I need some sunlight

And some fresh air

I need some water

The Night - Matangi Rajesh VII-D

Its the night

The moon is white

When we switch off the light

What a beautiful sight

After this comes the sun bright

There is no more artificial light

This is the time to start your diet

To go for a run wearing tights

Then comes the evening when

you have snacks light

And fly a big colorful kite

or include your sibling in a pillow fight

Again comes the night

A moon which is white

We switch off the light

A beautiful sight

INDIArsquoS 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

Indiarsquos 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 ldquoharness space technology ldquofor 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 ISROrsquos Fat Boyrsquo

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

Indiarsquos 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 didnt 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 Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane

with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing

speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt 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-

perloops 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 itThe first Hyperloop ndash 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

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

wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-

ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities

chapter test after every topic notebookfile 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

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 lifeI fell that exams

should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate

whether the students are clear with the concepts or

not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but

should be made understand their mistakes Let them

choose their own career options on their own Help

them know what they like to study and what they want

to do in their life So dont pressurize students for

what they dont like and encourage them in what they

do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the

country

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B

Life is all about interactions You meet people and

you interact You observe them consciously or sub-

consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us

more than we even realise Some people leave a last-

ing impression on us and entirely change the course of

life for better or for worse Some people influence us

help us go further and make all the difference

I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-

tial people They have taken care of me ever since I

came into this world They are the ones who wish the

best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-

cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel

no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-

come a part of my personality They are the ones who

helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me

to be better

When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are

the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-

takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique

learning experience It has made me realise how eve-

rything they do has a reason They are the ones who

have taught me the importance of the little things in

life They are the ones who have helped me recognize

and follow my passion The very thought of them not

being a part of my life is scary to the least as without

them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am

today and whatever I have achieved is all because of

them and I am very grateful of that

The tired little girl went to bed

Recollecting the days bygone

Seeing them in her dreams

As the day she was born

Trying to see the world

With her little eyes

But the sun with his brightness

Wouldnt let her catch the sights

The girl still eager

And curious to see the world around her

Again opened her eyes

But her vision was blurred

Still she did not lose hope

Which flowed through her blood

Encouraging and pushing her

To see the world further

Her heart beating fast

Her enthusiasm increasing

She slowly tried to see

With her eyes continuously blinking

Starting to lose hope

She was ready to give up

But curiosity got the upper hand

And pushed her forward

With her hope again rising

and strength in her eyesight

She is finally seeing the world

With wide open eyes

COPERNICUS as believed in the western world

Other countries might have moon on their flags but

we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is

great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are

whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-

rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is

only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the

unknown and its continual application for the benefit

of the mankind)rdquo

Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by

various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-

PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-

cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958

onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as

46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was

attempted out of which only 21 was successful

Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-

tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the

overall attempts conducted by other Nations

USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-

NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was

planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January

SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR

successfully on moon

NASA after many attempts was successful to send

first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th

July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk

on moon

Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-

clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-

SION MANGAL for our next moon mission

OUR FUTURE EARTH - Hiya Purswani VIII-B

We all know the present condition of our environment

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 Its 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 its 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 Itrsquos 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

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 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 Itrsquos 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 donʼt

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 quoterdquo 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

And wait the unfailing gray

Oh Sad are winter nights and slow

And sad is a song thatrsquos dumb

And sad it is to lie I know

Another dawn will come

Floods and Destruction

- Nirvi Soni IV-H

India faces occurrence of floods each year in some

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

Good Morning Everyone -Vyomi ThakkarVI - H

Come with me wersquoll have some fun

Wersquoll go on a walk

Donrsquot worry will have a great talk

Roaming around the ground

With beautiful birdrsquos sound

We donrsquot know if anything will be found

Wersquoll 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

-Shravya Atreya IX-D

Think before you speak

There are hearts you must please

Think before you speak

You canrsquot undo the harm done after you squeak

Think before you speak

You might have done greater harm than you might

think

Think before you speak

There are still places left for you

to seek

Think before you speak

There is a long way to go before

you sleep

Think before you speak

There are hearts you must

please

Sunrise -Anuradha Singh VII-H

Over the glimmering purple sea

Under the golden sun rise

The Island dreams under the dawn

A sparrow sways upon a tree

staring at his own in the

enamelled sea

Everything is fine

With fading stars and rising light

GLOBAL WARMING - Adhyant Singh VII-F

Global warming refers to the steady rise in the Earthrsquos mean temperature The effect of global

warming had come into sight when polar ice caps started melting this phenomena is called ICE ndash

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 400000000000 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 Earthrsquos surface thus increasing the temperature and also

destroying the ozone layer which prevents the ultraviolet rays of the sun from reaching the earthrsquos 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 (CFCrsquoS) 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

earthrsquos doomsday we all must work together

Itrsquos not too late there is still timehellipBefore the earth ends and we whinehellipSo keep on marching and planting

greens To end Global Warming and Make our planet greenhellip

What will happen without Instagram

- Kaavya Chaudhary VII-F

Instagram Instagram Instagram

I was hearing it from everyone

I asked who was the inventor

Nobody knew the answer to my question

Mobiles Mobiles Mobiles

I was able to see them everywhere

I asked who was the inventor

Again nobody was aware

I wondered why was it like so

Why is it they donrsquot know

There was one time we were

engrossed in books

Now we care more about our looks

Instagram wonrsquot give you a job

You will have to study and top

Your fellow followers wonrsquot help either

If you donrsquot have a job no one will bother

I am a tree

- Yashawini Pillai

I am a tree

With a dark green crown

And a thick strong trunk

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

Its the night

The moon is white

When we switch off the light

What a beautiful sight

After this comes the sun bright

There is no more artificial light

This is the time to start your diet

To go for a run wearing tights

Then comes the evening when

you have snacks light

And fly a big colorful kite

or include your sibling in a pillow fight

Again comes the night

A moon which is white

We switch off the light

A beautiful sight

INDIArsquoS 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

Indiarsquos 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 ldquoharness space technology ldquofor 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 ISROrsquos Fat Boyrsquo

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

Indiarsquos 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 didnt 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 Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane

with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing

speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt 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-

perloops 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 itThe first Hyperloop ndash 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

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

wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-

ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities

chapter test after every topic notebookfile 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

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 lifeI fell that exams

should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate

whether the students are clear with the concepts or

not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but

should be made understand their mistakes Let them

choose their own career options on their own Help

them know what they like to study and what they want

to do in their life So dont pressurize students for

what they dont like and encourage them in what they

do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the

country

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B

Life is all about interactions You meet people and

you interact You observe them consciously or sub-

consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us

more than we even realise Some people leave a last-

ing impression on us and entirely change the course of

life for better or for worse Some people influence us

help us go further and make all the difference

I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-

tial people They have taken care of me ever since I

came into this world They are the ones who wish the

best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-

cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel

no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-

come a part of my personality They are the ones who

helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me

to be better

When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are

the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-

takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique

learning experience It has made me realise how eve-

rything they do has a reason They are the ones who

have taught me the importance of the little things in

life They are the ones who have helped me recognize

and follow my passion The very thought of them not

being a part of my life is scary to the least as without

them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am

today and whatever I have achieved is all because of

them and I am very grateful of that

Eyesight

-Aditi Shenoy VIII-F

The tired little girl went to bed

Recollecting the days bygone

Seeing them in her dreams

As the day she was born

Trying to see the world

With her little eyes

But the sun with his brightness

Wouldnt let her catch the sights

The girl still eager

And curious to see the world around her

Again opened her eyes

But her vision was blurred

Still she did not lose hope

Which flowed through her blood

Encouraging and pushing her

To see the world further

Her heart beating fast

Her enthusiasm increasing

She slowly tried to see

With her eyes continuously blinking

Starting to lose hope

She was ready to give up

But curiosity got the upper hand

And pushed her forward

With her hope again rising

and strength in her eyesight

She is finally seeing the world

With wide open eyes

Conquering the space

ldquoThere is no failure in Science it is only continual

face failure it rather adds more value to our effort for

our next journey to know the unknownrdquo

Chandrayan-2 Indiarsquos Moon Mission The dream of

entire India to land on moon and become the 4th Na-

tion in the world to put its flag on the soil of moon

after USSR USA amp China

ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launched

Chandrayan-2 on 22nd July 2019 from Bengaluru

(Satish Dhawan Space Center) under the command of

ISRO chief K Shivan It consists of ORBITER

LANDER amp Lunar Rover PRAGYAN Like Chandra-

yan-1(22nd Oct2008) it was Indiarsquos indigenous moon

mission

It touched the Moon Surface on Saturday early morn-

ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-

ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-

ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of

moon it lost contact with the ground station Because

of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be

monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m

(approx) away from its assigned location near

SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still

orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange

signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it

The ORBITER which will remain active for another

12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-

owed portion of the moon for the first time in history

with the help of its high-resolution camera

The entire Nation irrespective of their field of

knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front

of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of

VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true

Indians who always dream progress and development

of their motherland But our heart never accepts this

as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement

for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-

pose of our mission

But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at

this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring

country quoting this as a big failure on part of India

blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos

money on this

Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will

be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to

this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other

nations on such missions

Further I should say that India is not new in the field

of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-

TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975

It was named after famous scientist of ancient India

ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested

Floods and Destruction

- Nirvi Soni IV-H

India faces occurrence of floods each year in some

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

GLOBAL WARMING - Adhyant Singh VII-F

Global warming refers to the steady rise in the Earthrsquos mean temperature The effect of global

warming had come into sight when polar ice caps started melting this phenomena is called ICE ndash

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 400000000000 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 Earthrsquos surface thus increasing the temperature and also

destroying the ozone layer which prevents the ultraviolet rays of the sun from reaching the earthrsquos 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 (CFCrsquoS) 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

earthrsquos doomsday we all must work together

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 didnt 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 Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane

with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing

speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt 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-

perloops 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 itThe first Hyperloop ndash 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

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

wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-

ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities

chapter test after every topic notebookfile 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

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 lifeI fell that exams

should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate

whether the students are clear with the concepts or

not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but

should be made understand their mistakes Let them

choose their own career options on their own Help

them know what they like to study and what they want

to do in their life So dont pressurize students for

what they dont like and encourage them in what they

do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the

country

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B

Life is all about interactions You meet people and

you interact You observe them consciously or sub-

consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us

more than we even realise Some people leave a last-

ing impression on us and entirely change the course of

life for better or for worse Some people influence us

help us go further and make all the difference

I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-

tial people They have taken care of me ever since I

came into this world They are the ones who wish the

best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-

cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel

no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-

come a part of my personality They are the ones who

helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me

to be better

When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are

the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-

takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique

learning experience It has made me realise how eve-

rything they do has a reason They are the ones who

have taught me the importance of the little things in

life They are the ones who have helped me recognize

and follow my passion The very thought of them not

being a part of my life is scary to the least as without

them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am

today and whatever I have achieved is all because of

them and I am very grateful of that

Eyesight

-Aditi Shenoy VIII-F

The tired little girl went to bed

Recollecting the days bygone

Seeing them in her dreams

As the day she was born

Trying to see the world

With her little eyes

But the sun with his brightness

Wouldnt let her catch the sights

The girl still eager

And curious to see the world around her

Again opened her eyes

But her vision was blurred

Still she did not lose hope

Which flowed through her blood

Encouraging and pushing her

To see the world further

Her heart beating fast

Her enthusiasm increasing

She slowly tried to see

With her eyes continuously blinking

Starting to lose hope

She was ready to give up

But curiosity got the upper hand

And pushed her forward

With her hope again rising

and strength in her eyesight

She is finally seeing the world

With wide open eyes

Conquering the space

-Marisha Nath VIII-C

ldquoThere is no failure in Science it is only continual

effort to conquer the unknown On the way even if we

face failure it rather adds more value to our effort for

our next journey to know the unknownrdquo

Chandrayan-2 Indiarsquos Moon Mission The dream of

entire India to land on moon and become the 4th Na-

tion in the world to put its flag on the soil of moon

after USSR USA amp China

ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launched

Chandrayan-2 on 22nd July 2019 from Bengaluru

(Satish Dhawan Space Center) under the command of

ISRO chief K Shivan It consists of ORBITER

LANDER amp Lunar Rover PRAGYAN Like Chandra-

yan-1(22nd Oct2008) it was Indiarsquos indigenous moon

mission

It touched the Moon Surface on Saturday early morn-

ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-

ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-

ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of

moon it lost contact with the ground station Because

of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be

monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m

(approx) away from its assigned location near

SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still

orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange

signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it

The ORBITER which will remain active for another

12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-

owed portion of the moon for the first time in history

with the help of its high-resolution camera

The entire Nation irrespective of their field of

knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front

of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of

VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true

Indians who always dream progress and development

of their motherland But our heart never accepts this

as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement

for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-

pose of our mission

But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at

this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring

country quoting this as a big failure on part of India

blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos

money on this

Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will

be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to

this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other

nations on such missions

Further I should say that India is not new in the field

of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-

TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975

It was named after famous scientist of ancient India

ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested

for the first time the HELIOCENTRIC THEORY

(Sun at the center and all planets revolve around the

Sun) of the Solar System much earlier than ready for

New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 57

COPERNICUS as believed in the western world

Other countries might have moon on their flags but

we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is

great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are

whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-

rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is

only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the

unknown and its continual application for the benefit

of the mankind)rdquo

Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by

various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-

PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-

cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958

onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as

46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was

attempted out of which only 21 was successful

Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-

tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the

overall attempts conducted by other Nations

USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-

NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was

planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January

SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR

successfully on moon

NASA after many attempts was successful to send

first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th

July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk

on moon

Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-

clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-

SION MANGAL for our next moon mission

OUR FUTURE EARTH - Hiya Purswani VIII-B

We all know the present condition of our environment

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 Its 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 its 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 Itrsquos 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

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 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 Itrsquos 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 donʼt

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 quoterdquo Come forth in the light of things

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

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 didnt 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 Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane

with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing

speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt 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-

perloops 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 itThe first Hyperloop ndash 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

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

wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-

ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities

chapter test after every topic notebookfile 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

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 lifeI fell that exams

should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate

whether the students are clear with the concepts or

not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but

should be made understand their mistakes Let them

choose their own career options on their own Help

them know what they like to study and what they want

to do in their life So dont pressurize students for

what they dont like and encourage them in what they

do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the

country

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B

Life is all about interactions You meet people and

you interact You observe them consciously or sub-

consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us

more than we even realise Some people leave a last-

ing impression on us and entirely change the course of

life for better or for worse Some people influence us

help us go further and make all the difference

I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-

tial people They have taken care of me ever since I

came into this world They are the ones who wish the

best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-

cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel

no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-

come a part of my personality They are the ones who

helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me

to be better

When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are

the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-

takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique

learning experience It has made me realise how eve-

rything they do has a reason They are the ones who

have taught me the importance of the little things in

life They are the ones who have helped me recognize

and follow my passion The very thought of them not

being a part of my life is scary to the least as without

them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am

today and whatever I have achieved is all because of

them and I am very grateful of that

Eyesight

-Aditi Shenoy VIII-F

The tired little girl went to bed

Recollecting the days bygone

Seeing them in her dreams

As the day she was born

Trying to see the world

With her little eyes

But the sun with his brightness

Wouldnt let her catch the sights

The girl still eager

And curious to see the world around her

Again opened her eyes

But her vision was blurred

Still she did not lose hope

Which flowed through her blood

Encouraging and pushing her

To see the world further

Her heart beating fast

Her enthusiasm increasing

She slowly tried to see

With her eyes continuously blinking

Starting to lose hope

She was ready to give up

But curiosity got the upper hand

And pushed her forward

With her hope again rising

and strength in her eyesight

She is finally seeing the world

With wide open eyes

Conquering the space

-Marisha Nath VIII-C

ldquoThere is no failure in Science it is only continual

effort to conquer the unknown On the way even if we

face failure it rather adds more value to our effort for

our next journey to know the unknownrdquo

Chandrayan-2 Indiarsquos Moon Mission The dream of

entire India to land on moon and become the 4th Na-

tion in the world to put its flag on the soil of moon

after USSR USA amp China

ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launched

Chandrayan-2 on 22nd July 2019 from Bengaluru

(Satish Dhawan Space Center) under the command of

ISRO chief K Shivan It consists of ORBITER

LANDER amp Lunar Rover PRAGYAN Like Chandra-

yan-1(22nd Oct2008) it was Indiarsquos indigenous moon

mission

It touched the Moon Surface on Saturday early morn-

ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-

ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-

ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of

moon it lost contact with the ground station Because

of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be

monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m

(approx) away from its assigned location near

SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still

orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange

signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it

The ORBITER which will remain active for another

12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-

owed portion of the moon for the first time in history

with the help of its high-resolution camera

The entire Nation irrespective of their field of

knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front

of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of

VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true

Indians who always dream progress and development

of their motherland But our heart never accepts this

as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement

for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-

pose of our mission

But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at

this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring

country quoting this as a big failure on part of India

blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos

money on this

Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will

be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to

this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other

nations on such missions

Further I should say that India is not new in the field

of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-

TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975

It was named after famous scientist of ancient India

ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested

for the first time the HELIOCENTRIC THEORY

(Sun at the center and all planets revolve around the

Sun) of the Solar System much earlier than ready for

New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 57

COPERNICUS as believed in the western world

Other countries might have moon on their flags but

we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is

great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are

whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-

rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is

only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the

unknown and its continual application for the benefit

of the mankind)rdquo

Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by

various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-

PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-

cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958

onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as

46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was

attempted out of which only 21 was successful

Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-

tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the

overall attempts conducted by other Nations

USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-

NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was

planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January

SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR

successfully on moon

NASA after many attempts was successful to send

first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th

July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk

on moon

Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-

clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-

SION MANGAL for our next moon mission

OUR FUTURE EARTH - Hiya Purswani VIII-B

We all know the present condition of our environment

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 Its 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 its 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 Itrsquos 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

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 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 Itrsquos 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 donʼt

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 quoterdquo 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

And wait the unfailing gray

Oh Sad are winter nights and slow

And sad is a song thatrsquos dumb

And sad it is to lie I know

Another dawn will come

Floods and Destruction

- Nirvi Soni IV-H

India faces occurrence of floods each year in some

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

Good Morning Everyone -Vyomi ThakkarVI - H

Come with me wersquoll have some fun

Wersquoll go on a walk

Donrsquot worry will have a great talk

Roaming around the ground

With beautiful birdrsquos sound

We donrsquot know if anything will be found

Wersquoll 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

-Shravya Atreya IX-D

Think before you speak

There are hearts you must please

Think before you speak

You canrsquot undo the harm done after you squeak

Think before you speak

You might have done greater harm than you might

think

Think before you speak

There are still places left for you

to seek

Think before you speak

There is a long way to go before

you sleep

Think before you speak

There are hearts you must

please

Sunrise -Anuradha Singh VII-H

Over the glimmering purple sea

Under the golden sun rise

The Island dreams under the dawn

And the message is carried by the wind that blows

across the bitter sea

A sparrow sways upon a tree

staring at his own in the

enamelled sea

Everything is fine

With fading stars and rising light

GLOBAL WARMING - Adhyant Singh VII-F

Global warming refers to the steady rise in the Earthrsquos mean temperature The effect of global

warming had come into sight when polar ice caps started melting this phenomena is called ICE ndash

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 400000000000 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 Earthrsquos surface thus increasing the temperature and also

destroying the ozone layer which prevents the ultraviolet rays of the sun from reaching the earthrsquos 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 (CFCrsquoS) 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

earthrsquos doomsday we all must work together

Itrsquos not too late there is still timehellipBefore the earth ends and we whinehellipSo keep on marching and planting

greens To end Global Warming and Make our planet greenhellip

What will happen without Instagram

Instagram Instagram Instagram

I was hearing it from everyone

I asked who was the inventor

Nobody knew the answer to my question

Mobiles Mobiles Mobiles

I was able to see them everywhere

I asked who was the inventor

Again nobody was aware

I wondered why was it like so

Why is it they donrsquot know

There was one time we were

engrossed in books

Now we care more about our looks

Instagram wonrsquot give you a job

You will have to study and top

Your fellow followers wonrsquot help either

If you donrsquot have a job no one will bother

I am a tree

- Yashawini Pillai

I am a tree

With a dark green crown

And a thick strong trunk

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

Its the night

The moon is white

When we switch off the light

What a beautiful sight

After this comes the sun bright

There is no more artificial light

This is the time to start your diet

To go for a run wearing tights

Then comes the evening when

you have snacks light

And fly a big colorful kite

or include your sibling in a pillow fight

Again comes the night

A moon which is white

We switch off the light

A beautiful sight

INDIArsquoS 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

Indiarsquos 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 ldquoharness space technology ldquofor 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 ISROrsquos Fat Boyrsquo

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

Conquering the space

-Marisha Nath VIII-C

ldquoThere is no failure in Science it is only continual

effort to conquer the unknown On the way even if we

face failure it rather adds more value to our effort for

our next journey to know the unknownrdquo

Chandrayan-2 Indiarsquos Moon Mission The dream of

entire India to land on moon and become the 4th Na-

tion in the world to put its flag on the soil of moon

after USSR USA amp China

ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launched

Chandrayan-2 on 22nd July 2019 from Bengaluru

(Satish Dhawan Space Center) under the command of

ISRO chief K Shivan It consists of ORBITER

LANDER amp Lunar Rover PRAGYAN Like Chandra-

yan-1(22nd Oct2008) it was Indiarsquos indigenous moon

mission

It touched the Moon Surface on Saturday early morn-

ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-

ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-

ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of

moon it lost contact with the ground station Because

of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be

monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m

(approx) away from its assigned location near

SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still

orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange

signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it

The ORBITER which will remain active for another

12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-

owed portion of the moon for the first time in history

with the help of its high-resolution camera

The entire Nation irrespective of their field of

knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front

of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of

VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true

Indians who always dream progress and development

of their motherland But our heart never accepts this

as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement

for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-

pose of our mission

But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at

this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring

country quoting this as a big failure on part of India

blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos

money on this

Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will

be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to

this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other

nations on such missions

Further I should say that India is not new in the field

of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-

TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975

It was named after famous scientist of ancient India

ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested

for the first time the HELIOCENTRIC THEORY

(Sun at the center and all planets revolve around the

Sun) of the Solar System much earlier than ready for

New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 57

COPERNICUS as believed in the western world

Other countries might have moon on their flags but

we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is

great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are

whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-

rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is

only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the

unknown and its continual application for the benefit

of the mankind)rdquo

Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by

various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-

PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-

cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958

onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as

46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was

attempted out of which only 21 was successful

Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-

tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the

overall attempts conducted by other Nations

USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-

NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was

planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January

SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR

successfully on moon

NASA after many attempts was successful to send

first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th

July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk

on moon

Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-

clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-

SION MANGAL for our next moon mission

Floods and Destruction

- Nirvi Soni IV-H

India faces occurrence of floods each year in some

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

Good Morning Everyone -Vyomi ThakkarVI - H

Come with me wersquoll have some fun

Wersquoll go on a walk

Donrsquot worry will have a great talk

Roaming around the ground

With beautiful birdrsquos sound

We donrsquot know if anything will be found

Wersquoll 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

-Shravya Atreya IX-D

Think before you speak

There are hearts you must please

Think before you speak

You canrsquot undo the harm done after you squeak

Think before you speak

You might have done greater harm than you might

think

Think before you speak

There are still places left for you

to seek

Think before you speak

There is a long way to go before

you sleep

Think before you speak

There are hearts you must

please

Sunrise -Anuradha Singh VII-H

Over the glimmering purple sea

Under the golden sun rise

The Island dreams under the dawn

And the message is carried by the wind that blows

across the bitter sea

A sparrow sways upon a tree

staring at his own in the

enamelled sea

Everything is fine

With fading stars and rising light

GLOBAL WARMING - Adhyant Singh VII-F

Global warming refers to the steady rise in the Earthrsquos mean temperature The effect of global

warming had come into sight when polar ice caps started melting this phenomena is called ICE ndash

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 400000000000 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 Earthrsquos surface thus increasing the temperature and also

destroying the ozone layer which prevents the ultraviolet rays of the sun from reaching the earthrsquos 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 (CFCrsquoS) 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

earthrsquos doomsday we all must work together

Itrsquos not too late there is still timehellipBefore the earth ends and we whinehellipSo keep on marching and planting

greens To end Global Warming and Make our planet greenhellip

The Night - Matangi Rajesh VII-D

Its the night

The moon is white

When we switch off the light

What a beautiful sight

After this comes the sun bright

There is no more artificial light

This is the time to start your diet

To go for a run wearing tights

Then comes the evening when

you have snacks light

And fly a big colorful kite

or include your sibling in a pillow fight

Again comes the night

A moon which is white

We switch off the light

A beautiful sight

INDIArsquoS 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

Indiarsquos 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 ldquoharness space technology ldquofor 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 ISROrsquos Fat Boyrsquo

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

Indiarsquos 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 didnt 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 Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane

with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing

speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt 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-

perloops 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 itThe first Hyperloop ndash 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

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

wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-

ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities

chapter test after every topic notebookfile 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

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 lifeI fell that exams

should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate

whether the students are clear with the concepts or

not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but

should be made understand their mistakes Let them

choose their own career options on their own Help

them know what they like to study and what they want

to do in their life So dont pressurize students for

what they dont like and encourage them in what they

do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the

country

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B

Life is all about interactions You meet people and

you interact You observe them consciously or sub-

consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us

more than we even realise Some people leave a last-

ing impression on us and entirely change the course of

life for better or for worse Some people influence us

help us go further and make all the difference

I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-

tial people They have taken care of me ever since I

came into this world They are the ones who wish the

best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-

cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel

no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-

come a part of my personality They are the ones who

helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me

to be better

When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are

the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-

takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique

learning experience It has made me realise how eve-

rything they do has a reason They are the ones who

have taught me the importance of the little things in

life They are the ones who have helped me recognize

and follow my passion The very thought of them not

being a part of my life is scary to the least as without

them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am

today and whatever I have achieved is all because of

them and I am very grateful of that

Eyesight

-Aditi Shenoy VIII-F

The tired little girl went to bed

Recollecting the days bygone

Seeing them in her dreams

As the day she was born

Trying to see the world

With her little eyes

But the sun with his brightness

Wouldnt let her catch the sights

The girl still eager

And curious to see the world around her

Again opened her eyes

But her vision was blurred

Still she did not lose hope

Which flowed through her blood

Encouraging and pushing her

To see the world further

Her heart beating fast

Her enthusiasm increasing

She slowly tried to see

With her eyes continuously blinking

Starting to lose hope

She was ready to give up

But curiosity got the upper hand

And pushed her forward

With her hope again rising

and strength in her eyesight

She is finally seeing the world

With wide open eyes

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 didnt 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 Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane

with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing

speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt 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-

perloops 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 itThe first Hyperloop ndash 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

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

wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-

ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities

chapter test after every topic notebookfile 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

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 lifeI fell that exams

should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate

whether the students are clear with the concepts or

not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but

should be made understand their mistakes Let them

choose their own career options on their own Help

them know what they like to study and what they want

to do in their life So dont pressurize students for

what they dont like and encourage them in what they

do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the

country

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B

Life is all about interactions You meet people and

you interact You observe them consciously or sub-

consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us

more than we even realise Some people leave a last-

ing impression on us and entirely change the course of

life for better or for worse Some people influence us

help us go further and make all the difference

I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-

tial people They have taken care of me ever since I

came into this world They are the ones who wish the

best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-

cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel

no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-

come a part of my personality They are the ones who

helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me

to be better

When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are

the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-

takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique

learning experience It has made me realise how eve-

rything they do has a reason They are the ones who

have taught me the importance of the little things in

life They are the ones who have helped me recognize

and follow my passion The very thought of them not

being a part of my life is scary to the least as without

them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am

today and whatever I have achieved is all because of

them and I am very grateful of that

Eyesight

-Aditi Shenoy VIII-F

The tired little girl went to bed

Recollecting the days bygone

Seeing them in her dreams

As the day she was born

Trying to see the world

With her little eyes

But the sun with his brightness

Wouldnt let her catch the sights

The girl still eager

And curious to see the world around her

Again opened her eyes

But her vision was blurred

Still she did not lose hope

Which flowed through her blood

Encouraging and pushing her

To see the world further

Her heart beating fast

Her enthusiasm increasing

She slowly tried to see

With her eyes continuously blinking

Starting to lose hope

She was ready to give up

But curiosity got the upper hand

And pushed her forward

With her hope again rising

and strength in her eyesight

She is finally seeing the world

With wide open eyes

Conquering the space

-Marisha Nath VIII-C

ldquoThere is no failure in Science it is only continual

effort to conquer the unknown On the way even if we

face failure it rather adds more value to our effort for

our next journey to know the unknownrdquo

Chandrayan-2 Indiarsquos Moon Mission The dream of

entire India to land on moon and become the 4th Na-

tion in the world to put its flag on the soil of moon

after USSR USA amp China

ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launched

Chandrayan-2 on 22nd July 2019 from Bengaluru

(Satish Dhawan Space Center) under the command of

ISRO chief K Shivan It consists of ORBITER

LANDER amp Lunar Rover PRAGYAN Like Chandra-

yan-1(22nd Oct2008) it was Indiarsquos indigenous moon

mission

It touched the Moon Surface on Saturday early morn-

ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-

ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-

ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of

moon it lost contact with the ground station Because

of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be

monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m

(approx) away from its assigned location near

SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still

orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange

signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it

The ORBITER which will remain active for another

12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-

owed portion of the moon for the first time in history

with the help of its high-resolution camera

The entire Nation irrespective of their field of

knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front

of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of

VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true

Indians who always dream progress and development

of their motherland But our heart never accepts this

as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement

for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-

pose of our mission

But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at

this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring

country quoting this as a big failure on part of India

blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos

money on this

Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will

be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to

this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other

nations on such missions

Further I should say that India is not new in the field

of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-

TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975

It was named after famous scientist of ancient India

ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested

for the first time the HELIOCENTRIC THEORY

(Sun at the center and all planets revolve around the

Sun) of the Solar System much earlier than ready for

New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 57

COPERNICUS as believed in the western world

Other countries might have moon on their flags but

we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is

great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are

whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-

rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is

only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the

unknown and its continual application for the benefit

of the mankind)rdquo

Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by

various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-

PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-

cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958

onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as

46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was

attempted out of which only 21 was successful

Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-

tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the

overall attempts conducted by other Nations

USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-

NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was

planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January

SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR

successfully on moon

NASA after many attempts was successful to send

first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th

July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk

on moon

Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-

clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-

SION MANGAL for our next moon mission

The Night - Matangi Rajesh VII-D

Its the night

The moon is white

When we switch off the light

What a beautiful sight

After this comes the sun bright

There is no more artificial light

This is the time to start your diet

To go for a run wearing tights

Then comes the evening when

you have snacks light

And fly a big colorful kite

or include your sibling in a pillow fight

Again comes the night

A moon which is white

We switch off the light

A beautiful sight

INDIArsquoS 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

Indiarsquos 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 ldquoharness space technology ldquofor 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 ISROrsquos Fat Boyrsquo

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

Indiarsquos 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 didnt 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 Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane

with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing

speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt 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-

perloops 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 itThe first Hyperloop ndash 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

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

wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-

ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities

chapter test after every topic notebookfile 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

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 lifeI fell that exams

should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate

whether the students are clear with the concepts or

not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but

should be made understand their mistakes Let them

choose their own career options on their own Help

them know what they like to study and what they want

to do in their life So dont pressurize students for

what they dont like and encourage them in what they

do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the

country

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B

Life is all about interactions You meet people and

you interact You observe them consciously or sub-

consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us

more than we even realise Some people leave a last-

ing impression on us and entirely change the course of

life for better or for worse Some people influence us

help us go further and make all the difference

I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-

tial people They have taken care of me ever since I

came into this world They are the ones who wish the

best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-

cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel

no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-

come a part of my personality They are the ones who

helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me

to be better

When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are

the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-

takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique

learning experience It has made me realise how eve-

rything they do has a reason They are the ones who

have taught me the importance of the little things in

life They are the ones who have helped me recognize

and follow my passion The very thought of them not

being a part of my life is scary to the least as without

them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am

today and whatever I have achieved is all because of

them and I am very grateful of that

Eyesight

-Aditi Shenoy VIII-F

The tired little girl went to bed

Recollecting the days bygone

Seeing them in her dreams

As the day she was born

Trying to see the world

With her little eyes

But the sun with his brightness

Wouldnt let her catch the sights

The girl still eager

And curious to see the world around her

Again opened her eyes

But her vision was blurred

Still she did not lose hope

Which flowed through her blood

Encouraging and pushing her

To see the world further

Her heart beating fast

Her enthusiasm increasing

She slowly tried to see

With her eyes continuously blinking

Starting to lose hope

She was ready to give up

But curiosity got the upper hand

And pushed her forward

With her hope again rising

and strength in her eyesight

She is finally seeing the world

With wide open eyes

Conquering the space

-Marisha Nath VIII-C

ldquoThere is no failure in Science it is only continual

effort to conquer the unknown On the way even if we

face failure it rather adds more value to our effort for

our next journey to know the unknownrdquo

Chandrayan-2 Indiarsquos Moon Mission The dream of

entire India to land on moon and become the 4th Na-

tion in the world to put its flag on the soil of moon

after USSR USA amp China

ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launched

Chandrayan-2 on 22nd July 2019 from Bengaluru

(Satish Dhawan Space Center) under the command of

ISRO chief K Shivan It consists of ORBITER

LANDER amp Lunar Rover PRAGYAN Like Chandra-

yan-1(22nd Oct2008) it was Indiarsquos indigenous moon

mission

It touched the Moon Surface on Saturday early morn-

ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-

ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-

ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of

moon it lost contact with the ground station Because

of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be

monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m

(approx) away from its assigned location near

SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still

orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange

signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it

The ORBITER which will remain active for another

12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-

owed portion of the moon for the first time in history

with the help of its high-resolution camera

The entire Nation irrespective of their field of

knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front

of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of

VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true

Indians who always dream progress and development

of their motherland But our heart never accepts this

as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement

for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-

pose of our mission

But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at

this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring

country quoting this as a big failure on part of India

blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos

money on this

Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will

be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to

this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other

nations on such missions

Further I should say that India is not new in the field

of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-

TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975

It was named after famous scientist of ancient India

ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested

for the first time the HELIOCENTRIC THEORY

(Sun at the center and all planets revolve around the

Sun) of the Solar System much earlier than ready for

New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 57

COPERNICUS as believed in the western world

Other countries might have moon on their flags but

we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is

great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are

whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-

rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is

only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the

unknown and its continual application for the benefit

of the mankind)rdquo

Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by

various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-

PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-

cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958

onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as

46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was

attempted out of which only 21 was successful

Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-

tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the

overall attempts conducted by other Nations

USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-

NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was

planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January

SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR

successfully on moon

NASA after many attempts was successful to send

first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th

July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk

on moon

Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-

clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-

SION MANGAL for our next moon mission

The tired little girl went to bed

Recollecting the days bygone

Seeing them in her dreams

As the day she was born

Trying to see the world

With her little eyes

But the sun with his brightness

Wouldnt let her catch the sights

The girl still eager

And curious to see the world around her

Again opened her eyes

But her vision was blurred

Still she did not lose hope

Which flowed through her blood

Encouraging and pushing her

To see the world further

Her heart beating fast

Her enthusiasm increasing

She slowly tried to see

With her eyes continuously blinking

Starting to lose hope

She was ready to give up

But curiosity got the upper hand

And pushed her forward

With her hope again rising

and strength in her eyesight

She is finally seeing the world

ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-

ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-

ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of

moon it lost contact with the ground station Because

of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be

monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m

(approx) away from its assigned location near

SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still

orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange

signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it

12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-

owed portion of the moon for the first time in history

with the help of its high-resolution camera

The entire Nation irrespective of their field of

knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front

of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of

VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true

Indians who always dream progress and development

of their motherland But our heart never accepts this

as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement

effort to conquer the unknown On the way even if we

face failure it rather adds more value to our effort for

our next journey to know the unknownrdquo

Chandrayan-2 Indiarsquos Moon Mission The dream of

entire India to land on moon and become the 4th Na-

tion in the world to put its flag on the soil of moon

after USSR USA amp China

ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launched

Chandrayan-2 on 22nd July 2019 from Bengaluru

(Satish Dhawan Space Center) under the command of

ISRO chief K Shivan It consists of ORBITER

LANDER amp Lunar Rover PRAGYAN Like Chandra-

yan-1(22nd Oct2008) it was Indiarsquos indigenous moon

mission

It touched the Moon Surface on Saturday early morn-

ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-

ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-

ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of

moon it lost contact with the ground station Because

of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be

monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m

(approx) away from its assigned location near

SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still

orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange

signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it

The ORBITER which will remain active for another

12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-

owed portion of the moon for the first time in history

with the help of its high-resolution camera

The entire Nation irrespective of their field of

knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front

of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of

VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true

Indians who always dream progress and development

of their motherland But our heart never accepts this

as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement

for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-

pose of our mission

But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at

this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring

country quoting this as a big failure on part of India

blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos

money on this

Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will

be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to

this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other

nations on such missions

Further I should say that India is not new in the field

of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-

TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975

It was named after famous scientist of ancient India

ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested

for the first time the HELIOCENTRIC THEORY

(Sun at the center and all planets revolve around the

Sun) of the Solar System much earlier than ready for

New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 57

COPERNICUS as believed in the western world

Other countries might have moon on their flags but

we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is

great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are

whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-

rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is

only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the

unknown and its continual application for the benefit

of the mankind)rdquo

Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by

various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-

PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-

cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958

onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as

46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was

attempted out of which only 21 was successful

Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-

tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the

overall attempts conducted by other Nations

USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-

NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was

planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January

SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR

successfully on moon

NASA after many attempts was successful to send

first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th

July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk

on moon

Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-

clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-

SION MANGAL for our next moon mission
