“It is our attitude at the beginning of a difficult task which, more than anything else, will affect its successful outcome.” - William James The world we live in today looks drastically different than the one we knew a year ago. The challenges can make it difficult to stay hopeful but now more than ever, it is important that we look to the future. The pandemic has acted as a catalyst to choose virtual platforms and possibilities to the maximum and we have left no stone unturned in making the online teaching process hassle-free from its integration into the system. The teaching techniques in the virtual classrooms have been more interactive and engrossing thus capturing and retaining the interest of the students. Such collaborative learning has helped to enhance interpersonal skills and master life skills thus furthering the aim of overall development of a child. In the background of the rapidly changing times, it is necessary to continuously expand critical thinking skills, and adapt to any situation thrown our way. We are proud of our innovative and holistic approach that goes beyond pedagogy and enables our students to become leaders and worthy citizens of the society. This e-edition of the school magazine is the perfect representation of how our school continued its endeavours to adapt to the challenges of the pandemic. It has enabled the young students to tap into their imaginative minds and discover skills they were not aware they had, explore new ideas and discover their potential and inner strength. I commend the entire editorial team for their efforts in creating this e-magazine, filled to the brim with creativity, ideas and achievements of the students.

Education is a lifelong process of acquiring and updating the knowledge in all aspects – physical, intellectual, spiritual or emotional. Our endeavour is to equip our students with life skills to face the real world, be it planning, organizing, reasoning, team building, communicating effectively or dealing with challenges confidentially. At DPS Bangalore East, we value individualism, creativity and innovation and strive to nurture them in our students. We firmly believe that Education is a partnership between the parents and the institution with a common goal and vision – to impart the best to our children in the most favourable and welcoming ambience. It is not just about enrolling the child in the best school or system, but an inherent involvement at every stage of their development in school. The Year 2020-21 has indeed been challenging and we never envisioned a school without children on campus. Online teaching, competitions and even functions did happen. Children and teachers adapted to the new way and took up challenges. Together we have ensured that each child takes a step forward towards a brighter future. Vibrant Vision is the amalgamation of ideas, achievements, creations and innovations by children. This magazine brings to you the works of children from their homes. I do hope you enjoy each page as you read through it.

“We all have our time machines. Some take us back, they are called memories. Some take us forward, they are called dreams.” – Jeremy Irons A school magazine showcases the dreams of little creative minds, future authors, artists and achievers. It also serves as a great memoir to recollect fond memories of a School Life for the old students.

Mohan Das Karam Chand Gandhi - a name that needs no introduction! October 2nd holds a significance as it is the day when our 'Father of the Nation' was born. To commemorate the great leader, Grade 1 children celebrated the 151st birth anniversary of Gandhiji by making 'Gandhiji's spectacles.' Children of Grade-2 made Charkhas which is not only a symbol of revolution but now is a symbol synonymous with the power of self-reliance, perseverance, and determination. To instill the Gandhian principles and values the children of Grade III and IV prepared a poster on Swachh Bharat. Mahatma Gandhi's life is an inspiration for all of us and the sacrifices he made are our responsibilities now. Let us contribute ourselves to the growth and development of our country to pay a salute to Father of the Nation. Jai Hind! Jai Bharath!

Grade V - VIII Celebrating Raksha Bandhan “Our brothers and sisters are there with us from the dawn of our personal stories to the inevitable dusk." – Susan Scarf Merrell Raksha Bandhan is one of the auspicious festivals celebrated with abundant zeal and enthusiasm in India, Nepal and other parts of the subcontinent as well as by people around the world influenced by Hindu culture.The significance of the festival can be gauged from the fact that it strengthens the relationship between a brother and sister, a defining character of Indian society. The Sanskrit term, Raksha Bandhan literally means “bond of protection”, and on this day women and girls of all ages tie a rakhi, around the wrists of their brothers as a symbol of protection. The men and boys in turn offer gifts to their sisters. It is a festival marked since ancient times and there are several mythological stories that revolve around this custom. Indian history has several stories when brothers are said to have stepped up to protect their sisters during the times of adversity. The festival helps siblings realise the importance of growing up together. Nowadays, not only siblings take part; many people exchange gifts on Raksha Bandhan. The festival of rakhi brings the entire family together and strengthens the bond of love and affection between the siblings. Thus it is a symbol of purity of relationship between them. To mark this day, our students unleashed their creativity and dexterity by making artistically impressive e-cards and handmade rakhis which told a whole new story of brother - sister bonding. The ability of our students to use innovative thoughts and create wonderful artefacts places Delhi Public School, Bangalore East at a high pedestal. We feel extremely delighted to see their amazing works and
sincerely appreciate it. This proves that our students are competent not only in academics but also in cocurricular activities.

Gandhi Jayanthi Activity -2020 'Strength Does Not Come from Physical Capacity. It Comes from An Indomitable Will.’ Mahatma Gandhi On October 2nd, 2020 we at DPS East celebrated the 151st Birth Anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi. He was not only a great leader but also a calm and composed man who could stir the world with his invaluable ideologies. He taught the world that humans are capable of conquering anything with the tools of non-violence and truth. Cleanliness was an integral part of the struggle for freedom that he led. “Sanitation,” he once observed, “is more important than political independence.” He dreamt of a clean India. He believed that it was inevitable to possess a clean mind, clean body and clean surroundings. Cleanliness is the symbol of dignity, health and safety. It holds much more significance as we are engulfed in the hands of the deadly pandemic. In connection with Gandhi Jayanthi, the students of Grade VIII participated in an Essay Writing Activity on the topic‘Mahatma Gandhi-Father of the Nation’. Students fervently participated in the essay writing and this activity helped the students to understand the key role played by Gandhiji in pioneering the principle of Satyagraha and applying the principles of non-violence in freeing India from British rule. Through the essays the students highlighted the Gandhian ideology of nonviolence, truth, love for humanity and why he is fondly called ‘Bapuji’.

It was an attempt to bring together different languages, linguistic skills, artistic and creative expressions under one umbrella. It was a fusion of several activities such as writing, designing, narrating, acting, advertising, singing, drawing and

We had received an overwhelming participation from our students in this enchanting endeavour and consider it as a matter of pride to have such talented and creative geniuses at our enclave. Champions do not become champions when they win the event, but in the hours, weeks, months and years they spend preparing for it.

for encouraging awareness and action for the protection of the environment. This year, as every other year, Delhi Public School, Bangalore East observed Environment Day on 5th June. The theme was Biodiversity in Bangalore. Currently, the life of the entire world has come to a standstill. This is the time that calls for every individual to put their best foot forward. The current scenario is something that no one had heard of or even comprehended. The lockdown has proven to be a blessing in disguise for our children and it has failed to dampen their spirits. This was reflected in the whooping response we got for the Environmental Day Activity that was based on Biodiversity in Bangalore. The students of Class VI have done an applaudable work by designing posters that showcases the heart-warming sights of animals enjoying a new sense of freedom. The students have also found solace in their art and presented painting that captured some of the beautiful moments that have forever embedded in their minds. The heartfelt poems written by the young poets made us think deeply about everything that is happening right now. They helped in spreading positivity and made us firmly believe that if we believe we can, then we are halfway there. This year, let us come together not only to achieve triumphs in the academic field, but also gain victory over our common enemy. Every cloud has a silver lining, they say. And sometimes, the silver lining is in the clouds themselves, as they become cleaner.

The whole solar system that spins around the burning Sun About Sun Sun is a star. It is a burning ball of fire in our solar system. With a mean radius of six hundred ninety-six thousand three hundred and forty kilometres. All the planets orbit around the burning Sun. Life on Earth depends on the burning Sun. The Sun is bigger than all the planets that orbit around it. The burning Sun comes in the morning but hides in evening. Sun is the too hot to live. If you will live on the burning Sun, then you will die. The burning Sun is the centre of all the planets that orbit around the Sun. There is no water and no moon. There is no life on the burning Sun.

During the lockdown I got so bored, what would I do? I couldn't go to school, couldn't meet my friends and so I was sad. Then my mom introduced me to a new friend, the story books. I strapped in and went on a rollercoaster ride of stories. When I read the secret seven series, I felt like I was solving the mysteries with them and went on adventures with them. I enjoyed the stories written by Enid Blyton, Sudha Murthy, Ruskin bond and Geronimo Stilton. Sudha Murthy's books are simple, inspiring and teach lessons about importance of doing what is right. One of her stories tells us how the onion gets the layers and why it brings tears to the eyes when cut, it's really interesting. Ruskin bond's stories show how sharing caring and compassion can make a difference and teach how to stay positive. The books of fairy tales take me to a different world of fantasy and imagination. The treasure of the books enriches me with the jewels of knowledge. Each book gives me the pleasure of a new journey. Now we are the bestest best friends. - Riyon Biswas, I-M

Radioactive-green bioluminescent is a light produced by a chemical reaction within a living organism. These fungi produce a chemical called luciferin, which releases energy in the form of green light. Some mushrooms glow in the dark to attract the attention of insects that spread the fungal spores around. The Greek philosopher Aristotle was aware of the fact that some mushrooms glow in the dark. On our Earth planet, there are more than 80 species of glowing mushrooms found. It might be a little scary sometimes but friends not to worry as they are friendly and not harmful.

My trip to Candolim Beach….. A day worth memories! I still remember that sleepless night before going to the beach. How could have I slept? Afterall, I was going to go to Candolim beach for the first time in Goa. We were going with our cousins. Before heading towards the beach, my mom packed a cap, sunglasses, and a swimsuit for all of us. She also packed veg cutlets, chips, and sandwiches for snacks
and my most favourite juice – “orange juice”! On our way to the beach, we saw a lot of trees and buildings. We made sandcastles and houses. It was a lot of fun! But after all that playing, we were extremely hungry. So, my mom served us cutlets and juice. They were very yummy! We played for some more time. We were so tired that we could not even move ourselves. So, we had dinner outside. We had a heavy dinner as we were very hungry. We finally came home and lay down on the bed. I told my parents that I had enjoyed a lot. I loved that day. It was the best day of my life. Diyaa. V,II -I
BIRBAL’S KHICHDI Akbar the great, is also known to be a people’s king and he had a court of advisors who helped him in doing the job. Among his advisor, who is well known was Birbal for his good sense of humor. Many stories are famous about the two. One is as below. Once Akbar had placed a challenge to his people, that whoever can stay one whole day and night in the river nearby, in the cold outside without warmth around, he shall be rewarded by the king. No one was ready to take the risk. A man, took up the challenge and completed it. Before rewarding, Akbar checked how the man could finish the task. The man replied that he kept seeing the lamp lit in a temple throughout and diverted his mind from feeling cold. Akbar felt cheated and took him to prison. Birbal was seeing all this. The next day Birbal said he wished to treat Akbar with his mom’s recipe of khichdi. Two days passed by, there was no sign of Birbal. Akbar went searching for him and found him cooking with 100 pots placed on top of each other and the topmost had the khichdi. Akbar laughed and said, “how will the food get heated so far off from the fire?” To that Birbal said, “the same way how the man in the river got heat from the temple lamp.”
Akbar realized his mistake, released the man from the prison and praised Birbal for his intelligence.

SUN TEMPLE OF KONARK
The Chance Meeting
The Sun Temple of Konark was built around 13th century. It took 12 years to build and required 1200 artisans. The temple has many stories and one of the story describes about a 12 year old boy “Dharmapada” who sacrificed his life to save all artisans.
Once upon a time, there lived a king who was a kind ruler and adventurous too. His name was Akbar. One day Akbar and his courtiers went for hunting. They could not find a single deer. They were hungry and tired. To make matter worse, he was separated from rest of his group. He was at the crossroad, when he saw a boy pass by. Akbar said, “Listen young lad, which road goes to Agra?” The lad said, “Huzoor! No road goes to Agra. It is only the people.” Akbar said, “What is your name?” He boldly said, “Mahesh Das.” Akbar said, “You are talking to Akbar, the emperor of Hindustan. We need fearless people like you”. Akbar gave him a ring and said that if you show the ring, I will recognize you. The lad was bright and intelligent. Later when he grew up, he was known as Birbal- the witty one.
The construction of the temple was overseen by “Vishu Maharana” as the chief architect. There was a condition between the king and the workers that no one will be allowed to go away until the whole work was completed. The temple was nearing its completion but the workers faced the difficulty on fixing up the “temple crown stone” ( Kalasha ) in its proper position. In the mean time the chief architect’s son, Dharmapada came to see his father as he was away from home for a long time. Dharmapada was always sad has he had never seen his father. Then his mother told him about his father’s responsibility to build sun temple. After a long Journey, Dharmapada reached the construction site and spotted his father. His father was glad to see him. Then he came to know that artisans are facing a major problem to put the “temple crown stone” (kalasha) properly. If they fail to do it, the king will detach their heads. On hearing this, the boy immediately got up at the top and discovered something wrong in the work . He rectified the defect immediately and put the “Kalasha” in its proper position.
The work was done but the artisans were still thinking of their fate, that if the king comes to know all about this, he will think that the artisans weren’t doing their job properly, which a little boy had done in a short time. He was happy that he saved so many lives by completing the temple for Sun God. Dharmapada was very much shocked and to cover up the matter, he climbed onto the top of the temple and jumped off into the deep blue waters of the sea to sacrifice his life.

The Busy-Bee Far far away, in the middle of a small town, there was a park. The park had lot of tall trees and on one such tree, there was a beehive. The beehive had lot of bees but there was one bee who was always busy. The b ee’s name was Busy-Bee. He had a son named Fuzzy-Bee. Fuzzy always wanted to play with his father but Busy-Bee was very busy collecting nectar from flowers throughout the day. One day, after returning to the beehive, Busy-Bee didn’t find his son. He looked all around the corners of the beehive but Fuzzy was missing. He looked around the different trees but Fuzzy was missing. Busy got tensed. He thought that a bird must have eaten his son. He flew up in the sky and was desperately looking for his son. He went to the nests of the birds in the park to find his son but Fuzzy was missing. The sun was about to set and the dark winter night was about to settle in. While Busy was still trying to search for his son with a hope to get his son back, he suddenly saw a bee lying far and distant away on the green grass and was trying to crawl. He rushed towards it. It was little Fuzzy who was carrying nectar on his back. The weight of the nectar was so heavy for little Fuzzy, that he was not able to fly. He was crawling. Busy asked, “Why are you carrying the heavy nectar with you? I have been so worried about you”. Fuzzy looked at his father with tired eyes. Gulping some air, Fuzzy said, “Father, I want to play with you. But you are always busy collecting the nectar and arranging it in the beehive throughout the day. I thought if I could help you out to finish your work, you could get some time to play with me”. Busy-Bee was silent. His eyes got filled with tears. He lifted his son from the ground and took Fuzzy onto his chest and said, “Dear son, I’ll play with you even if I’m busy”. The tears rolled down from Busy-Bee’s checks. Sounak Sarkar, III - O
The Lion and the Magic Den
A long time ago, there was a magic den. Many animals wanted to live in it. But the den asked them to give something in return whenever they approached it; and they had nothing. One day a tiger named Tigo, came to stay in the den. When the den asked the tiger to give something, he yelled “Houses do not ask things from anyone who comes to stay in them.”
The magic den replied, “Mmmmm, nice thought but I have a question for you in return. If you catch a deer, but, before you could kill it, the deer asks to leave it alone, what will you do?” “I will ask the deer to give something to me to save its life or ask it to hunt an animal for me to eat”, said the Tiger The den laughed, “How will a deer which is herbivore hunt an animal?” The tiger replied, “Why cannot it kill an animal with its antlers?” The den replied, “Anyways, see you also will ask the deer to give something away, would you not? Huh!” “But you are not hunting me, or are you?” replied the shocked tiger. “I am not hunting you but I am haunting you.” “Fine, but if you are haunting me, I’m not scared.” “Okay you are not getting haunted but you still have to give me something to stay here.” “I will give myself to you, then I can stay in you.” “I do not want that offer. You can’t live in me.” The angry tiger went inside the forest like all the other animals did before him. The king of the forest, a lion named Leo, heard the news of the magic den. He decided to stay in the den and approached the den the next day. “Go away”, said the den. “I am sure that you have nothing good to give me.” “No den, I have something very interesting to give you”, said Leo. The den was excited to find out what the lion wanted to give.
“Okay, kind lion, now what are you going to give me?” “Be my kingdom. Do you accept it?” “Really….? Yes, I can accept this offer surely. You can start living in me from tomorrow.” At night when the den was asleep, Leo woke up the other animals who visited the den before with an intention to live in it. “Why did you wake us all up at midnight?”, asked Tigo the tiger, who visited the den last time. “Do you want to live in the den?” asked Leo. All animals together said yes to Leo’s question except Tigo. “But how Leo?”, asked Tigo. “Tigo, wait and listen to me.”
“Ah, but only you can live in me ha, ha, ha”. “No, in the jungle, the original kingdom, all the animals used to live together. So now everybody gets inside the den as it is the new kingdom”. The den got tricked and the animals lived happily ever after in it. So, even if you go to a jungle today, you will see some caves and dens; and inside them you will see lions, tigers, bears, cheetahs, wolfs and many other animals living happily. Who knows, one of the old and large dens might be the magic den. Don’t enter any den without making sure that its empty!!! If you do, be careful. The animals living in the den may think you are trying to harm them, and they might harm you in return. But it eventually turned out that the jungle, including all the dens and caves within it, is the true kingdom of the animals.
“Okay I will listen without asking any questions.” “That is good. Now, everybody get ready to get inside that magic den in the morning.” Next morning, a big crowd was outside the den. “Hey get out of here. You should listen to me as I am your king from now on. Your king Leo gave me his kingdom”, said the den angrily.
Moral: Don’t accept an offer without fully understanding it!!! -Anayah Saleh, III - B
The Eagle, the Vulture and the Parrot
“Oh no, Leo gave away the kingdom to the den”, cried all the animals. “Oh hello Mr. Den”, said Leo. “Don’t call me Mr. Den, call me king Denom, that’s a good name for me”. “Oh Denom, who told you that you are the king?” “Ha, you gave away the kingdom to me.” “But who told you that you are the new king?” “You gave me the kingdom yesterday”, told the den angrily. “Don’t show your anger Demon, I mean Denom. I did not give you my kingdom; I just told you to be my kingdom”. “Okay I do not accept the offer now”, told Denom smiling. “You cannot take the offer back after accepting it”.
In a forest in Mexico a long time ago, there was a very big tree. A lot of birds made their nests in that tree and used to call it home. Among the birds, there was a Bald eagle, a Griffon vulture, a parrot and many other birds of different sizes and colours. Due to its huge size, the local Mexican people called the tree as “Castillo de Aves”, Spanish for “Castle of Birds”. There was plenty of food and water for the birds in and around the tree; the air was fresh and it was covered in thick green leaves. The tree was near a mountain called the Mantis Mount. Mantis Mount was very tall and it was full of birds, animals, fishes and reptiles. The birds loved that place and they lived in peace. Near the tree, there was a river. The birds drank water from the river and the birds of prey used to catch the fat fishes with their strong and beautiful
curved beaks. The birds of prey could hunt as much as they want, as the area near the tree was full of mice, rats, snakes, squirrels, fishes and other birds. The bird population grew larger and larger every year. The birds’ nests were soft and cozy, and the young birds chirped happily from their nests. All the birds were very hardworking except one parrot. This parrot was very selfish and lazy though the other parrots were hardworking. The lazy parrot used to make fun of the other parrots as they worked hard to find food for themselves and their families. The parrot was also a big bully; and it used to snatch and steal food from other smaller birds instead of finding its own food. He also used to pick fights with bigger birds and used to get beaten-up by them when he annoyed them too much. The parrot had two scars on its body, one made by the Bald eagle and the other one by the Griffon vulture, when he picked up fights with them for no reason. The eagle and the vulture were very good friends and they usually hunted for food together. One day, the eagle and the vulture went hunting for some rodents in a nearby cluster of bushes. The selfish parrot made large squawking noises and drove the rodents away. He did this just for fun. He also used to throw sand at the preys which the eagle and vulture hunted to eat, making the food inedible. Though the big birds always left the parrot after a warning, today it was too much for them. They were angry at the parrot for driving away the rodents. They were also very hungry. In anger, they decided to hunt the parrot instead and eat it.
The vulture was still sitting on a nearby rock on Mount Mantis. Vultures usually feed on dead animals and birds; and as he saw the dead parrot, it thought “I can definitely eat that dead parrot and reduce my hunger”. It swooped down on the parrot, with an intention to carry it to his nest. But the parrot stirred and flew away from the vulture, startling it. The eagle, who was still circling the sky, saw the parrot flying up above the trees, trying to get away from the vulture. It went into a speedy dive and put its talons on the back of the parrot killing it instantly. The eagle then called the vulture and they both made a great feast of the stupid parrot.
Moral of the story: You should not annoy others and push your luck too far!!!

The eagle started to chase the parrot. The parrot flew low and hid behind the thick leaves. The eagle couldn’t find it and went soaring very high in the sky to have a good look from the top. The parrot told itself, “I need to save myself from these giants. They are really angry and will definitely kill me. If I can somehow save myself from them today, their anger will subside and I will be forgiven like every other time in the past. Eagles usually don’t eat dead animals and birds. So, if I act dead, it will leave me alone”. The parrot flew into a branch faking a collision, fell to the ground and pretended to die. The eagle saw this and thought that the parrot died and started scanning the area for other prey.
Sara and the Sun
Sara – Hi Sun! Sun – Hey Sara. What’s up? ☺ Sara – It’s freezing winter! We are shivering and our clothes are not keeping us warm. Why are you not giving us warmth like before? Don’t you see how much we all are suffering? Sun – Oh Sara! I am so sorry, but you see, even I am bound by the law of nature. That’s why it is winter now. Following winter, you will have Spring, following Spring you will have Summer. After Summer there will be Autumn and then you will have winter again. So, it’s a cycle Sara.
there will be Spring in your place! In the meantime, take good care of yourself! Always wear warm clothes and have warm drinks and food! Stay safe ! Sara – Thanks Sun. Will do! -Saranya Banerjee, III - O
CREEPY CREATURES Hello,
Sara – Yes Sun, I know that!
My name is Krithick. I am eight years old. I like Animals. Today I am here to tell you about, CREEPY CREATURES like Snakes, Spiders and insects. Let me start with snakes. I know you probably do not like snakes, then this magazine is for you. Now imagine a world without snakes. The following things will happen in a world without snakes:
Sun – Great ! Then you also know the name of your planet?
I think people with phobia of snakes will be the one happy lot.
Sara – It’s Earth, Sun. Everybody knows that!
Mice, rats, insects, birds, spiders and more would be invading our homes as snakes keep these animals in check by eating them.
Sara – Oh ! Could you please tell me why we have so many seasons? Sun – Let me try to explain it in a simpler manner. I guess you already know that the earth not only spins but also revolves around me.
Sun – Hahaha! Yes Sara. I was actually kidding. Long long ago, when earth was young something big hit earth and tilted it a bit. The name of the big thing is Theia. Sara – Oh wow! I wonder how powerful the impact was! Sun – Yes. Indeed, it was very powerful! So that made the earth tilted . So due to Earth’s tilted posture, different part of the earth gets direct light from me . The part that gets the direct light feels hot and summer there and for the rest of the part where the sunlight is not direct gets winter. In December, I shine directly on southern hemisphere , so northern hemisphere gets winter. Since you are in norther hemisphere of the earth , you get winter! Sara – Oh Sun! I see. I was thinking it’s your fault ! Sun – No my child! We all are bound by the laws of nature and we all abide by them.Do not worry. Soon
Scientists think we evolved colour vison to see snakes, and to not be eaten by them. If there were no snakes humans would be seeing black and white. Let’s move on to Spiders and other Arachnids. Here is what a world without spiders and other Arachnids would look like, insects would be coming to our house because spiders primarily feast on insects. Without spiders there would be no food for humans as spiders eat many pests that like to eat agricultural food such as, grasshoppers, beetles and more. Humans would have surely gone extinct. Let us move on to the final topic Insects. Here is what a world without insects will look like. When humans were small mammals after the dinosaur extinction, we ate insects to survive. Hence, if insects never evolve humans might have never evolved either.
Our planet is secret, primeval and diverse. If we want to discover all our earth secrets, we have to preserve it. Almost 95% of all creatures have disappeared from the face of our planet earth. I am not saying that you have to look at animals up close, just do not kill them, next time you see a snake, back away slowly, this tells the snake that you are not a threat. DO NOT ruin a spiders web or kick a spider, it is more likely to bite. It is not the animals intention to harm us, if we destroyed their habitats, where would they go? In our habitats of course!!! Let’s take steps to preserve the life we have and prevent all the amazing animals from going extinct, including the creepy animals!!!! -Krithick.S, III -J
MY FAVOURITE SPORT Benjamin Franklin said it best when he said, “Games lubricate the body and the mind.” Games awaken us from within and refine our concentration skills. Playing games is very important. It teaches teamwork, patience, composure, social interaction. * I love playing many games but badminton is my favourite game. * Badminton is one of the most famous sport in the world. * People in India are very passionate about badminton * I also play badminton in the park near my home and with friends. * There are many rules and regulations in badminton which makes the game more interesting. * Badminton is a racquet sport played using racquets to hit a shuttle cock across a net. * P.V.SINDHU is my favourite badminton player.

Kind Pratheeksha Once upon a time, there was a girl named Pratheeksha. She was very kind. Pratheeksha lived with her grandparents and parents in an apartment Bougainvillea. There was an orphanage near the apartment. On a cold morning of 23rd December, while Pratheeksha was watching the scenery from her balcony, she noticed the kids playing outside the orphanage. She wanted to do something for the kids for Christmas. Immediately, she ran to her mother and asked her to stitch about 20 dresses for the kids. Pratheeksha started making the accessories for Christmas decoration. Hours passed, finally it was Christmas Eve. Pratheeksha woke up early, ate breakfast and went to the orphanage with her grandparents and parents. She gifted the dresses to the kids and decorated the orphanage with the accessories she made. All of them had lunch together and enjoyed the rest of the day by playing games. The children at the orphanage were very happy and thanked Pratheeksha for such a wonderful day! Pratheeksha’s family was very proud of her

The Lost Kittens Hi there! Do you like cats? Well, I love them! I am going to tell you the story of 5 kittens and their mother. Once, there was a cat named Thunder. She still lives close to my house. She was just a cat who lived in my society. She was the only cat who lived in my block. She was very naughty, always stealing food and breaking things. She was a very friendly cat. She belongs to the tabby breed. My neighbour, Shoba aunty, loves her. Thunder always goes to her house for food. One day, she came inside my house through the balcony of the kitchen. She ran into the kitchen and pushed a bottle of water. It spilled it everywhere. She got scared and ran away. After a few weeks, Thunder came into the house when I was still
sleeping. She went under the washing machine, and put something under it. I was woken up by a loud screeching sound. I thought they were only the birds so I went back to sleep. After 30 minutes, I woke up. My father rushed and showed me a video of kittens. He told me that, when I was sleeping there were 5 kittens under the washing machine. I asked “are they still under the washing machine?’’ “No. their mother carried them one by one and took them somewhere” I was very sad. I hoped that they would come back some day.
After a week, I heard the same screeching sounds! I rushed and saw there were 5 kittens. I took a gingercolored kitten out and I observed it. It had very less fur and could not walk at all. Since the ground was cold, I took them all out, and put a piece of cardboard under the washing machine. After putting the cardboard, I put them all back in. I turned back and saw that Thunder was standing behind me. I moved and let Thunder feed her kittens. I loved them a lot. They stayed under the washing machine for a week. We had to wash our clothes, so we had to remove them. I took big cardboard box and I put them in. I put 2 bowls of milk in the box. I was late for class so I had to leave them. In the afternoon, we heard a loud meow. We ran out and saw Thunder was carrying a kitten in her mouth. Thunder was moving her kittens to a new place. We followed her and saw that she kept one kitten near Shoba auntie’s house. We went to meet them every day. Shoba aunty fed them every day. Little did they know, she had a dark side? After a few days, we went to visit them. We saw that there were no kittens, only Thunder was sitting on the floor. We searched for them everywhere. We still could not find them. We told our mother that the kittens weren’t there. We thought that Thunder moved them to a new place. The next day, we went to search for them again. We still could not find them. We thought Thunder ate them. My mom was going for morning walk. She met Shoba aunty. She asked her if she knew where the kittens were. She said that she told the security guard to throw them away! After her morning walk, my mom came home and told me that Shoba aunty told the security guard to throw them somewhere. We were very sad. While our mother told us, Thunder came under my father’s
table and ran all around the house. She was searching for her kittens! I touched her. She was a bit warm. We did not shoo her away. We gave her some milk. She drank it and ran away. We decided to go out in the evening and ask the security guard where he threw them. In the evening, we grabbed our masks and ran down. We asked the security guard where he threw them. He said that he threw them outside the main gate of our society. We were horrified. We asked if he could bring them back. He gave no reply. We went home and told our father. He told the security guard to bring them back. We were not sure if they were alive, it was very cold and it was raining. My sister and I went home. While we were at home, we heard very loud meowing sounds. We ran out and saw that the kittens were back! We were very happy. Thunder heard the sounds and came running. She came and took them one by one in her mouth. She was very happy. We were glad that the kittens were back. But the security guard told us there were only 4 kittens. 3 grey and 1 ginger. Where was the 2nd ginger colored kitten? I hope somebody who was kind enough, adopted it… However, we are still searching for the lost kitten. -Sooryanshi Raut, IV-M
A Night out with my Best Friends – Sakleshpur Trip One day in November, 2019 me and two of my best friends along with our families decided to go to Sakleshpur on an upcoming saturday. We planned to spend a night out there. We left early in the morning so that we could reach our destination before lunch. We travelled by car and I took the opportunity to sleep half way through on the back seat. I was thrilled to see the sunrise. While leaving we had a very light breakfast so we stopped in “Ananda Bhavan” to have a heavy breakfast together with the families. Once we were done with breakfast, me and one of the other friends got into our third friends’ car, so as to have some fun on the rest of the journey to Sakleshpur.
Sakleshpur is a hill station in Karnataka surrounded by slopes with tea, coffee and spice plantation. We were heading to a resort which was on top of a mountain. When we started uphill, me and my friends started feeling pukish... Our parents advised us to open the car windows to let the cool breeze in and it worked as we felt better. We had juice and chips on our way. When we looked around, we saw many big trees, tea garden, colourful flowers, lush green grass, tall and short bushes and even a wild cat! WOW….
When we reached the resort, we felt that we were going to enter a planet called FUN! Yaaay…First we looked at the cool stream which had many rocks. We were feeling hungry so we had a quick lunch at the resort restaurant, but before that me and my friends went behind the restaurant and then we saw a tire bridge. We climbed on it and jumped off it. We chose tents instead of resort rooms. The place was beautiful. Then we found a white Labrador dog sleeping near the stream. We started petting him and also kept his name “BIXBEE”. We thought of walking on the cool water of the stream but surprisingly we saw a red-orange snake!!! We got out from the place immediately. Then we went to the other narrow side of the stream to get a view of giant tadpoles as told by the resort workers, we enjoyed there a lot. Mom told they look like fishes rather than tadpoles and that was true. I have never seen such big tadpoles. Next, we played mud volley ball. We surely got dirty, but it was a lot more fun than it looked like. Best part is going for kayaking in the wide side of the stream. We fell, we slipped, we laughed and we played. Parents also had lot of fun during kayaking. After that we went to the rain water dance. When it started to rain and the music started to play, we danced till our legs hurt. It was also like having a shower. We changed our clothes and played a little. After it was dark, the resort workers lit campfires in many places. We along with our families chose one near our tent and sat around it. It was quite cold there and the fire gave us much warmth. All of us played antakshari while our dads prepared barbeque chicken on the fire. Then we had our dinner and went to sleep in the tents which were next to each other. It was a great experience. We could even hear each other’s whispers.
Next morning, we woke up, quickly changed our clothes and went for breakfast. After that our parents started to pack, while we friends played archery, fetch and also ran with Bixbee. There was a zip-line in the place. We enjoyed it and did not want to leave. After we said good bye to Bixbee and the place we started our journey back home. On our way back, at lunch-time, we stopped at a restaurant and had a nice lunch. Three of us were together in the same car playing cards. It was indeed a wonderful trip to Sakleshpur which I will always remember and feel happy! -Ritkriti Bordoloi, III-N
Health and Environment
Save Life during Covid 19
We may be young or old, But we must be bold,
Against the enemy untold. We can’t go to malls, Nor can we go to water parks, Because Corona virus is scaring Sending our spines into a shiver. If you have to go out think twice, Take precautions. Stay home. Avoid hand-shake. Wash your hands. Wear masks. Cover mouth while coughing.
There was an open stage at his school where students perform different arts like singing, dancing, dramas etc. He also showed us the playground where he used to play during his childhood days. We were wandering through the roads in that area and suddenly noticed an old abandoned well. Me, my elder sister and my mother curiously went to see if any water is left. Inside the well there were many plants and water was also there! We were surprised to know that this well was built from the time of the British era in India. After walking a bit ahead, my grandfather pointed towards some trees on the left and right and told us that teachers took classes under those trees. In the olden days, when buildings were not there, kids used to attend classes under trees. After that, we went to see my great-grandfather’s office. He used to help people. It was a government office. Then he showed us the house he lived in.
Social distancing is the only solution. -Aaditri Thakur, III-J
A Trip to Sriniketan Recently, I visited my native place in West Bengal during Diwali holidays. My grandfather had planned a trip to Sriniketan during our stay. In Sriniketan, my greatgrandfather had a job and his son (my grandfather), lived in a nearby house with his family. On this tour, my grandfather was our guide. He showed us every single place including his school and college. The name of his school is Sikha Satra and college name is Palli Siksha Sadana.
At Rangabitan
Swans Then we went to a tourist place called ‘Rangabitan.’ We had our lunch there. We also clicked some photos and went to see some small cottages. These cottages were built so that people can stay there and continue their vacation. My grandparents said that they came sometime in February, stayed for one day, and left. However, that one days’ experience was good. After roaming a bit more, we left for a place called ‘Amar Kutir.’ Amar Kutir was a place where many handicrafts are made. We picked and examined them. My mother, aunt and grandmother bought beautiful and colourful kantha stitch sarees, a speciality of that place. I chose a black skirt with brown and peach coloured patterns. My aunt gifted me a handmade wooden owl. She also gifted a fishshaped dokra show piece. While shopping, I saw a flock of swans walking in a queue towards a river called ‘Shal/Kopai.’ My uncle even clicked a photo of them.
Ektara
Kash Phul After purchasing the items, we went to see the river. It was a very good picnic spot when people come during winters. Both sides of the river bank were covered with catkin flowers. We call them ‘kash phul’ in Bengali. It was a beautiful scenery. Sonajhuri Haat (Drawn by Aahana Adak)
People were selling different items such as sarees, skirts, lehengas, jewell ery, bags, show pieces, etc. We bought leather bags, necklaces, show pieces, etc. We saw a man making a necklace using beads and a woman was making wooden sculptures. A man was playing many instruments together and singing a song. It was a fun filled day and in the evening we returned home. It was a memorable trip and I wish to visit again in future. -Aahana Adak, III- B
SPRING IS HERE
After Amar Kutir’s experience, we went to ‘Sonajhuri Haat.’ Sonajhuri Haat is an open market where artisans sell their handmade crafts sitting in a forest. When we entered there, we saw some women dancing and a man was playing the beat for them. There I learnt what ‘ektara’ is. It was a musical instrument with one string. That is why it is called ektara.
When the trees sing a chorus, And the flowers bloom with a happy face; The Sun in the most wonderful place, The water shining like gold, Not to even look old. That means its SPRING, Better than anything. Fruits are very ripe, All of different types.
Twittering of birds, Call the elephants in herds; Joining all along, And singing a song. That’s why I love SPRING, More than anything. -Aahana Adak, III- B
New year
2020 Started on a high note, And we all were very happy.
The Puzzle
But as we moved forward,
One day, me and my friends woke up and found ourselves stuck in a cave. We only had a few sticks and matchsticks. We lighted up a stick and went to find a way out of the cave. We finally saw a way out. It was a small hole. I was about to go when one of my friends thought that it wasn’t a good idea. He said that “What if we get stuck?”. So, the smallest should go first. After he went, we all tried to go. We all could actually fit through it. On the other side of the cave, we saw a boat with a map in it. The map showed an island with a cross. The island was 10 kms away. So, we went to the island. On the way it started drizzling. We saw another island. We went on that island. We saw a cave and went in there. We covered the entrance with banana leaves. The next day, the cave was flooded with water. We ran to the boat and went away. When we finally got there, we dug up the cross. Then we saw a key with a note that read, “If you find the chest, then you can leave.” We didn’t exactly know where
It became much scrappy. It was more like a test series,
With COVID not ready to get out. Doctors are now on the field, Who will win? Everyone is in doubt. As the year ends, And we enter into the new year. I wish good health for everyone, And the pandemic should just disappear! -Samarth Bandish, III- I
the chest was. But we still didn’t give up hope. We went to all the islands where we had been before. Finally, in one of the islands, we saw another cross. We dug it up too and found the chest. It had a cube with a button on it. We tapped and a door appeared in front of us. We went through the door and reached our home. -Pratyai Das, IV-N

Few more non fire recipes I made during lockdown to have restaurant fun at home. -ELINA ROY , IV- F
LOCKDOWN CHEF How did the cheetah run so fast?
After the horses had their speed test and were declared as fastest, they would walk in the rainforest and praise themselves. Whenever they saw the cheetah eating leaves, they tease him saying “You are a loser, I don’t think that you even know how to run !! ” .
That time onwards the cheetah thought to himself that he would practice running every day. After a few days, the cheetah noticed changes and his speed increased. But he needed more strength to build his body, so he started eating flesh. He practiced running for days and nights. After some days when he thought he is ready to marathon against animals, he went to the small town with full speed and waited until some men found him. The men took him to the arena. His first race was against dog and was a 7 miles race. The cheetah, without any effort, won the race. Next, the cheetah had to race the bison. It was a 30 miles race. The cheetah found it a little difficult at the beginning, but he was determined and won the race. Now the cheetah had to race a last participant to get in the finals. Now came the antelope to race the cheetah. It was a 50 miles race. To the antelope’s astonishment, the cheetah took off in the beginning of the race and went much ahead. The antelope kept slowing down and couldn’t believe how did the cheetah over take him.
The cheetah could not take any more teasing, so one day he planned to go towards the arena and some men saw him and got him to the arena. There he had to beat 3 animal participants to go to the finals and battle with the horse. First, he had to race with the dog. It was a 5 miles race. When half a mile was left, the dog slowed down because of tiredness. Hence, the cheetah thought that it was his chance to overtake the dog and win the race. So, he ran as fast as he could and won by a slight difference. Next, the cheetah had to race an antelope. The cheetah did his best, but the antelope over took him and won the race.
The cheetah again won the race. Now, at last the cheetah had to race the horse. The horse showed him angry faces and kept teasing him. Horse was over confident and thought he can easily win against cheetah. It was a 65 miles race. It was a tough race for the horse and the cheetah. Both ran almost at same speed, but at the end the cheetah increased his speed and won the race. From that day onwards the cheetah was declared as the fastest running animal on earth. The cheetah kept practice running so that he remains the fastest. Therefore, the cheetah realized that hard work and determination leads to success.
In the beginning of the world, nobody knew who runs fastest, the humans then started hunting animals to test their speed. There lived a cheetah in the rainforest. He was too lazy and did not want his speed to be tested and always wanted to relax. He used to live in deep caves so that humans do not see him and capture him. The cheetah used to see from the caves how humans captured other animals. Whenever the path was clear he would go out and eat some leaves and fill his belly and return to his cave before somebody could see him.

TRIP TO MY GRANDPARENTS HOUSE
The cheetah was very upset and howling. When he came back to his cave, suddenly a genie appeared before him, and said “by hard work and devotion you can achieve anything.”
On December 26th 2020, I went to stay with my grandparents for four days, during my Christmas holidays. There were several pet animals. There were- 3 adult dogs, 3 adorable puppies, 9 adorable chicks, 3 adult chickens, 2 giant turtles inside the well and 2 cats. The names of the adult dogs were Gimi and Tiga. The names of the puppies were
Raju, Ruby and Raksha. Gimi is the mother of the puppies. The names of the cats were Papu and Bili. Papu was a beautiful cat.
There were many plants also. Examples- mango tree, coconut tree, pepper tree, banana tree, papaya tree, betel nut tree, etc. There were also many things to play with. Every time we got close to the cats, they would run away and disappear suddenly, but they come back for food, following my grandpa. Whenever we touch Tiga it jumps on us happily and Gimi always roams around everywhere wherever it wants. Whenever it is food time, the pets follow my grandpa for food and then they sleep in the evening. The chickens also roam around everywhere, wherever it wants and the chicks follow their parents wherever they go. Gimi and the puppies are similar as the chicken and chicks are. Every day we get fruits or vegetables or spices from the plants. One day, one of the adult chickens chased a grownup cat and it was a beautiful scene to look at. Last time, when I came here, at night, always different types of insects arrived. But, this time none of them came. And also, last time I came here in March I did not want to stay even a day, because it was so hot. But this time it was not like that, it was hot just like summer season in Bangalore. But when it is 4 o’clock it is cold in December. And in evening and night, it has a normal weather there. We had a lot of fun and a wonderful time. Important places nearby

The Farmer
There was a farmer who lived in a small village. He used to go to the city once in a while to buy seeds or fertilizers for his field. Once the farmer went to the city for work. While returning back to his village, after completing his work, he went to a nearby bus stop and was waiting for the bus for so much time, but the bus didn’t come. As it was getting late, he was feeling hungry. He noticed a luxurious restaurant beside the bus stand. He went inside the restaurant to have food. Looking at his clothes, one waiter questioned him for the purpose of his visit. When the farmer told him that he wants to have food, the waiter insulted him saying “See your clothes! Look at yourself. Do you have money to buy a candy at least? This place is not for you, please leave!”. The farmer didn’t react to this, and quietly, took a bundle of money from his pocket and kept it on the table. Then, the waiter became silent and served food as required by the farmer. While settling the food bill, the famer gave tip of Rs.500 to the waiter and advised him, Not to Judge People by seeing their clothes and look.
Moodbidre is mainly known as Jain Kashi of India which is a historical place for Jainism, since it is dotted with many Jain temples, mainly thousand pillars temple. Moodbidre is located 6 kms away from my Grandpa’s house. It is also the birth place for a 16th-century Kannada poet named as Ratnakaravarni Karkala is famous for Gomateshwara statue built by Veera Pandya

new school, dreamt of making new friends, aspired to learn new activities? It meant that I could not go to school, or go to play with my friends and had to spend twenty-four hours within the four walls of my home. It forced me to find innovative ways to entertain myself. Here is what I learnt from this unique experience of lockdown during the coronavirus pandemic. Over the weeks, I tried several things to pass my time productively. These included activities like

“Unlocking” During Lockdown In 2020, something unusual happened. A new disease, SARS-COV-2, started and was spreading rapidly across the world. As it became a pandemic, governments of several
countries started lockdowns. This meant that people could not go out of their homes for months, in an attempt to stop the spread of the disease. So, what did it mean to me, a 9-year-old who was about to join a

drawing, painting, pot painting, paper/ card board crafts, programming in Scratch, origami fighter planes & battle tanks, building Lego sets and creating movies using Lego models. I did all of this with the help of my parents. However, the most interesting activities were building a robot and learning to play the guitar. Robotics involved several activities and challenges, while learning guitar gave me a sense at them.
In robotics, I built an obstacle sensing rover. It moves in a random direction until it senses a roadblock. Then, it makes a reverse turn for a few seconds, and then continues forward in a new direction. I built the rover using DC motors, sensors, wheels, and a frame made of Mechanix pieces. For powering the rover, I used a 6V USB power bank. I used Arduino Uno microcontroller board to control the motors, using signals from the sensors. I used an ultrasonic sensor for forward direction, and an infra-red sensor for reverse direction. I programmed the Arduino microcontroller
using the Arduino Integrated Development Environment (IDE). I learnt programming from my father and the internet (www.arduino.cc). In addition, I found a lot of help about Arduino boards in YouTube. It was a great experience trying to design all the features of the system, testing it and debugging to ensure it functioned as intended. Now, I have acquired additional parts like servo motors to build more interesting robots. On the guitar, I learnt a few songs and some chords. As I could not go to the training centre due to the lockdown, I looked up guitar tutorials on YouTube. I found a lot of videos that taught to play chords, songs, fingerstyle and patterns. With their help I learnt A minor, D minor, and C and 9 other chords. I also learnt to play “Believer”, “My Heart Will Go On” and “Intentions”. It took a lot of effort and practice, sometimes more than 2 weeks to master one song. For some others, I am still getting better, with practice. Of course, there is a lot more to learn, but I made a good use of the time and opportunity to get started. I will always recommend my friends to learn some musical instrument, as it gives a lot of satisfaction to play melodious songs. In conclusion, I was able to explore a lot of new hobbies, and nurture a few of them into a passion. I would always encourage my friends to try Obstacle Sensing Robotic Rover new things, and focus on a few that they like, and develop them into hobbies. -Aishik Dasgupta, IV-J
The owl’s ❤ Once upon a time there lived a loved family, the mom and dad , had 2 children. One was a girl and the
other was a boy, the girls name was Lily who was 8 years old, and the boy’s name was Max who was 10 years old. Max and Laura were very obedient kids and always listened to their parents. If the parents gave them toys to play with, they would play with it every day and never abandon it, if the parents gave them a book, they would read very carefully and tell the parents the story and what they learned in the story. The parents once thought, our kids have pleased us a lot, now we need to give them something they will love... They then remembered that the children loved the bird owl. They soon got an idea! They went through an online shopping app and found an owl decoration, and found 4 cute owls with instruments on each of them! They were adorable so the parents bought this and kept it in their children’s room. Laura and Max were very happy to see that they had those 4 cute owls in their bedroom. (Laura and Max are in the same room and they both love owls like anything). They always looked at the owls while waking up and when they’re about to go to bed. Everything was going well until, work, interrupted. They were growing older so the parents wanted them to learn an instrument, but when they joined the instrument class, they weren’t doing well. So, the parents were disappointed with them. Also, now the parents had lots of work to do too, their office got very busy and thus they couldn’t concentrate on the children anymore.
The children were also having a bad time so they went to the owl decoration their parents had brought and prayed, “oh dear owl, please help us, things are not going good now days.” (They prayed to the owls because the owls and instruments have a bond, the owls loved instruments and were like the god of music and instruments). Even after the children prayed nothing changed… One night the children couldn’t sleep, they just had so much tension in mind and were thinking about the instruments class. Suddenly they heard a thud! Luckily the parents didn’t wake u but the children who were already awake, went to check on the sound which came from their hall. When they reached the hall they could not
believe their eyes! There stood the 4 owls that were decoration in their room, they weren’t decoration! They were actual owls playing the instruments. Before the children could say anything, the owls spoke to them. “We have heard your prayers and we are here to help you, we know how much tension you are having these day so we can help you improve in instruments. Don’t worry we won’t be strict, you can as many as mistakes, we will correct you. Laura said “I can’t believe this! Thank you so much for your honesty, we will never forget this!!! Max said “I agree... we have been having so much tension and now our favorite animal comes to life and agrees to teach us... This is the best thing ever.” The owls said “its ok children we will always be there to help you now let’s get studying! So every night the children would practice the instruments without hesitation and soon perfected in playing the instruments. Slowly the owls also introduced themselves to the parents. The parents were shocked too! But the owl’s helped them in their work and soon their work lessened and they were able to concentrate on the children again. The whole family was so thankful so they took care of the owls with lots of love and care. The owls only wished love and care and now they got what they want, and the family got what they wanted. They all lived happily since then.

The story of a motivational man On March 14, 1889 in Ulm, Württemberg a boy was born named Albert, who soon shifted to the city of Zurich in Switzerland. He completed his studies in the University of Bern. He started working as a patent examiner, which aspired him and in 1905 he proposed the special theory of relativity. By now all of you must have understood that I am talking about the greatest physicist and scientist "Albert Einstein". He eventually became a teacher at University of Zurich, then the University
of Prague. In 1916 he introduced the theory of general relativity as a professor in the Prussian academy of sciences in Berlin. In the following decade, he found the Proton theory of light and explained the motion of molecules. Later, he moved to the United States and became a professor at the Princeton University. He helped the United States by playing a major role in their nuclear forces of the World War II. He died in 1955. Einstein won the Nobel Prize for physics in the year 1922.This great man has inspired many science lovers like me. His life has influenced many young minds. Inspirational quotes by Albert Einstein:• •

"Education is not learning of facts, but the training of the mind to think." "Everybody is a genius, but if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid." "Try not to become a man of success. Rather become a man of value." -Ishan Singh,IV-O
How balloons came to be
A few years ago, in a small village lived a toy maker. His name was Peter. People from all over the world would come to buy his toys for their children, as his work was exquisite. He also had a son named Jack, who was a smart boy. He was nine years old and loved to learn about science. One normal day in the village when Peter was hard at work, Jack sneaked out of the house to play with his bouncy and big rubber ball. He wondered why the ball didn’t float in the air? He asked this question to his teachers, but they didn’t know either. So, he asked his father. His father was surprised at the question. The next day he went to the ‘Science Academy for Young Learners’ or the SAYL. There he learned about the different parts of the human brain, things about respiration and many other interesting topics and he enjoyed it a lot. One day he learned about gravity and the next week he went on a field trip with his class to
learn everything about gas and how it is formed by coal. The next day it was a Saturday. Jack and Peter went to a science amusement park. On the way back home, they stopped at the gas station and there, he filled his ball with some variants. First, he filled it with petrol. The workers said this is used for small vehicles like cars. Then, he found diesel. The workers said this is used for big vehicles like trucks and buses. He then found a very useless gas called helium but this time the gas worked it got bigger and bigger and the whole village saw a big ball floating in the air. The news writers rushed up towards the gas station the cameras flashed at him. Jack was nervous. “Now, here is the newspaper about your discovery Jack” said Peter.
AN AMAZING DISCOVERY WITH HELIUM (newspaper) A boy (Jack) from a small village discovers an amazing playing toy fuelled by helium.
A few weeks later Peter, who was really proud of his son’s accomplishment, thought of making a rubber-ball in different colours. He also thought of letting the receivers blow up the toy. Jack said he should make it helium fuelled. So, they started getting to work. When they finished it, they called it a BALLOON because it came from a ball but it wasn’t a ball. Now you know how balloons, that we still play with today, were formed.
swarmed with ants, for there were anthills at the base. The ants loved the ripe fruits of the banyan tree. One day an ant on its way to a cluster of fruits, on a high branch was swept away by a strong wind. It was struggling desperately to swim over to the bank. The pigeon watched the ant’s efforts from its home. Moved by its plight, the pigeon plucked a big banyan leaf and dropped it onto the river. The leaf reached the ant after a short while. The ant climbed onto it, and looked thankfully at the pigeon. The leaf finally took the ant to the bank. Both of them, the pigeon and the ant again got busy with their daily routine. One day while the ant was busy in search of food, it saw a hunter approaching the banyan tree. The ant followed him. Coming close to the tree. the hunter was carefully looking up and down the tree." He is on the lookout for birds. I should watch him" the ant said to itself. Soon he found the hunter taking aim with his bow and arrow at some bird. Following the line of his vision the ant saw that it was the pigeon who was his target. The ant who was gratefully, remembered how the pigeon had saved his life. it climbed up the leg or the hunter reached his head, and just when he was about to let go the arrow, stung him hard at the corner of his eye. With a groan the hunter dropped his bow and arrow. The noise startled the pigeon and it flew away immediately. MORAL: Always try to render help to your benefactor. -Dakshita Gouda, IV - R

The Ant and The Pigeon There was an old banyan tree on the brink of a river. Birds flew in from distant places, rested on its branch and made their home there. In the morning the birds would fly away in search of their companions and would return before dusk. The tree was also
I know a curious little boy, Who is always asking “Why?” Why this, why that, why then, why now?
Why not, why by-the-by?
He wants to know why wood should swim, Why lead and marble sink, Why Sun should shine and wind should blow, And why we eat and drink.
MY BELOVED GRANDFATHER “A grandfather is someone with silver in his hair and Gold in his heart” This saying aptly suits my granddad. My mom always says “Blessed are the kids who get to be around their grandparents” and I feel I am very blessed. I missed being with my grandfather when I lived abroad but now, I realize how fun it is to be with him.
He wants to know what makes the clouds And why they cross the sky. Why sinks the Sun behind the hills And why the flowers die. Some of these why’s are not too hard To answer if you’ll try; Others no one yet Has found the reason why. -Anika Jain , IV- B
My cute little brother 😊 My name is Iha Bhalerao. Today I’m going to tell you about my little brother. My little brother is 3 months old. He is very cute. I play with him every day. He cannot speak English or any other language. He doesn’t cry during the day-time but cries a lot at night. He is the cutest person I have met. At nights my mother, my dad or my grandmother have to walk while holding him. He only says oh oh oh oh oh... He likes his massage and bathing a lot. If he doesn’t wear his mittens, he scratches himself. Once his cheek was bleeding because he had scratched himself really bad. His clothes become small really very fast. His eye colour is grey brown. He enjoys playing with me.
My granddad was a professor in the Agricultural University and retired. He has done his PhD and is a very knowledgeable person. Even now he visits various farms, and has his own organic garden on the terrace. He guides everyone with their gardening needs. He always keeps himself occupied and spends every minute being useful and productive. Me and my sister love being with him. It is fun when he is around. He knows our likes and dislikes and always wants to make us happy. I cherish each and every moment being with him. The most touching incident was, the moment he got to know that I was injured and that I was wanting to see him, he travelled right away, all the way to meet me the same night. He makes his presence for all my birthdays. Last birthday he gifted me a skateboard which I was longing for. He always waits for me to have lunch together when I am at his home for vacation. He knows I love chocolate ice cream and we both have it together. Almost everyday I talk to him through video call. Thanks to technology ! He is very friendly, guides me over my flaws, teaches me values, and is always there to guard me. My mom used to say that he was an awesome dad for her which I feel is true. He encouraged me over improving my handwriting and I am thankful to him. Its awesome spending time with him. MY GRANDPA IS A GREAT INSPIRATION TO ME.

Where the World Goes Water bottles and tissue paper rolls, I wonder where the world goes! Reduce plastic, save trees, Stop giving the animals grief! Now I am told, Do online shopping, But all this comes with plastic wrapping! Sanitize your hand once and more, But how I wonder where the bottle goes! The plastic in the beach gets stuck on the seagull’s beak, And the rest is left for the poor cow to eat. Where the world goes, Where the world goes.

The Intelligent King Once upon a time, there was a king who was devoted to the people of his kingdom. Everything was going fine until one day a villager reported to the king about a robbery in his home. The king decided to catch the thieves himself because he did not want to alert the villagers as even the thieves would be alerted. So, the King called some miners and asked them to dig a ditch in the middle of the court. The next day he assembled all the villagers, ministers, etc and told them that all the treasure he owned had been dropped in the ditch and that ditch had been marked by a red cross. He also said that all the people had to go to sleep by 10:30 pm. And that anybody who stepped on the
red cross would be cursed for the whole life. So, everybody was very careful not to step on the mark. Now, the gang of robbers were also there in the meeting and decided to rob the king. They had completely forgotten that they could be cursed. So, at 11:00 pm night they all sneaked into the castle and they could not believe their eyes as there were no guards in sight. The king had actually asked them to hide in places where they wouldn’t be visible. So, taking advantage of the situation the thieves decided to dig on the red cross. But the moment they did that they all fell into the ditch. The guards got alerted due to the noises made by the thieves and checked the ditch. On finding the thieves they quickly informed the king. The thieves were then arrested, and all the people in the kingdom lived happily ever after. -

The New Year Party It was dark by 7:00 pm, when me and my family went out for a New Year party. There were loud songs playing in my apartment complex. The game schedule of the New Year party was splendid! I had gone through the schedule of the games this year. The first game in the list was ‘Tambola’ , my favourite! We all were seated in one place and the game conductor gave us the ticket. We were excited. ‘Where’s the prize?’ I asked my mom with excitement. She said, ‘ it is yonder!’ The game was about to start in 5 seconds. 5…..4……3……2……1……..Go! The game conductor yelled the first number, ‘23’ and then the game moved on . The game got more exciting when it nearing the end. The numbers in our tambola ticket were almost over. We were overexcited now. We could not wait. ‘Finally the last number of the game! It is……………52!’, said the game conductor. We were very happy because we had that number! And that number was only left for a full house! ‘ We won! We won! We won!’ I cried in excitement. The prize was a gift voucher of 1 lakh rupees! Woohoo! -Chaitri Ambati, VI C
The Little Kitten A little kitten was walking on the road. It was raining that day and she was hungry with no food to eat and no one to care for the little kitten. It had no partner to steal fish from the store or have the courage to go to a person’s door to ask for food. A little girl, with an umbrella, was crying on the road as she was lost. The cat thought to help the little girl and started purring on the girl’s leg. The girl picked up the cat, gathered courage and went to the police and told the police that she was lost. The police then phoned her mother who was searching for her daughter. The mother was happy to have found her. The girl asked if she could keep the kitten. Seeing her cute eyes, mother said, ‘Yes! You can keep the kitten’. The girl was incredibly happy. The little kitten thought it got everything in life and would live there happily ever after. After some time, one day the little kitten broke the mother’s phone while playing. The girl’s mother got angry and left the little kitten in some street on a rainy night. The little kitten was sad that she was left alone again and now forced to go to door to door for food and water. Moral of the Story – Never get too comfortable with your surroundings as winds always change. Just like the winds change, so does your fortune. -

What Thoughts This Virus Has Brought in Our Mind
This virus has made a major difference in the lives of all people in the world. Our schools were shut down! Offices were closed! Economy suffered! But luckily, our education did not stop as we took online classes. People did not stop working, they worked from home. But this didn’t mean that it was all well and good! What about the millions of people who lost their lives after getting infected with this virus? What about the millions of people who lost their jobs? Who will answer to all of this? Everyone blames China for this, but is it right or not to blame them? Well, there are so many different stories of how this virus started, some say that it is because of the bats, but if it is so, then why didn’t this virus occur before? How come it arrived suddenly? Some say that it was all planned, and that Chinese created the virus, and let it loose on purpose! But the question is, do the Chinese have any fault in this virus? The answer is, ‘Yes’, because the Chinese, were supposed to seal Wuhan as soon as possible, Because Wuhan was the place the virus was left loose, and also, China gave limited information about this virus to the rest of the countries. And so, the other countries took the virus lightly, for they did not know how dangerous this virus was, and hence, the virus spread like crazy in many countries. If China would have given all the information about this virus to the rest of the countries, strict actions would have been taken immediately, and the virus wouldn’t have spread. And this virus is so complex, that it took more than a whole year to find the vaccine. However, there is one advantage of this virus, due to the virus, most factories were closed, people travelled less, etc. and, because of this, the usual rate of pollution in this world decreased. And as far as I know, there is no other advantage of this virus. And all of these, are the thoughts the virus has brought into our minds. - Eshal Sayed, V H
Me and the Munia In summer, mom & I sowed some corn in one of our balconies to see the process of germination. Those germinated into saplings by June. I continued to water them and the stock grew taller.
One sunny October afternoon, a Munia tweeted on our other balcony. Very quickly another Munia
Two weeks later we saw the chicks trying & struggling to fly. Next day they managed to hop & fly off. Mother returned to check if any chick was still in the nest, and there was one. The mother tried to push the chick out, but it kept on resisting. A day later, the last chick also left. After this event, I’ve realised that growing plants around your house is rewarding 😊. -

They chose a planter full of grass and started weaving the nest with their beak using the corn leaves plucked from the other balcony. When finished, it was an amazingly comfortable and protective looking nest hidden in the grass.

Plastic Pollution from fishing nets threatening Ganges Wildlife Plastic pollution from discarded fishing gear is threatening the Ganges wildlife. This is critical for the endangered species in the Ganges region, Example: - The Three-Striped roofed Turtle and The Ganges River Dolphin. According to and International team including researchers from The Wildlife Institution of India.
•
The researchers noted that the fishing gear (which was all Plastic). Was the most common fishing gear around
•
High rates of discarded fishing gear is being dumped in rivers because of the unrecyclable plastic gear and lack of appropriate disposal systems, The researchers say.
For the next few weeks we didn’t hear much. Munias are shy birds, so we didn’t go close. After a couple of weeks, we heard a feeble chirping. Few more days and we could hear the chicks loudly fighting for food just like my cousins fighting for a pizza slice 😊. We still couldn’t see them.
My Opinion With the article above I feel we should try and avoid using plastic bags, Plastic wrappers, ETC. Instead we should try using cloth and jute bags. We should also use old newspaper in place of plastic wrappers. I also feel that we should pay a little amount of money so that animal sanctuaries can be opened to preserve endangered animals. -

Goodbye to My Hero - Diego Maradona 2020 is the worst year of my life because of the Corona pandemic and the loss of the football god ‘Diego Maradona’. Maradona was one of the reasons I started playing football and like me, he has inspired many other kids and adults to play football. This is the story of our football god, He was born in Buenos Aires on Oct 30 ,1960 and passed away on Dec 02, 2020 due to a heart attack. He was the first son after four daughters. He has two younger brothers, Hugo and Raúl, both of whom were also professional football players. Maradona received his first soccer ball as a gift at the age of three and quickly became devoted to the game. When he was eight, Maradona was spotted by a talent scout while he was playing in his neighbourhood club Estrella Roja. He became a staple of Los Cebollitas (The Little Onions), the junior team of Buenos Aires's Argentinos Juniors. As a 12-year-old ball boy, he amused spectators by showing his wizardry with the ball during the halftime intermissions of first division games. He met Brazilian playmaker Rivellino and Manchester United winger George Best among his inspirations while growing up. Maradona's vision, passing, ball control, and dribbling skills were combined with his small stature, which gave him a low centre of gravity allowing him to manoeuvre better than most other players. His presence and leadership on the field had a great effect on his team's general performance, while he would often be singled out by the opposition. In addition to his creative abilities, he possessed an eye for goal and was known to be a free kick specialist. A precocious
talent, Maradona was given the nickname "El Pibe de Oro'' ("The Golden Boy''), a name that stuck with him throughout his career. Maradona has won 5 titles with Napoli, 2 world cup titles, 3 titles with Barcelona. He won the golden boot in the world cup and also won World Athlete of the Year. He was one of the two joint winners of the FIFA Player of the 20th Century award. He has played for many famous teams like Argentina's junior , Boca Juniors, Barcelona, Napoli, Sevilla and Newell’s old boys. Maradona was Argentina’s manager in the year of 2008 and was responsible for the world cup in 2010 and was the coach for gymnasia de la plate from 2019 till he passed away. He has scored 312 goals and 207 assists in his career. He became very famous in the quarter finals of the 1986 world cup match against England when he scored a goal with his hand and the referee did not notice. Maradona said that that goal was because of the hand of god. Maradona is also called 'The God of Football' because he saw heaven and hell on earth. Maradona was a player who apart from scoring goals, also made lots of mistakes. Let’s all hope that Maradona gets to play lots of football in heaven and lots of Maradona’s appear in this world Fun Fact: He has the world record for the maximum number of fouls in one world cup, he got fouled every 12 mins and approximately got fouled 7 times in each match. -

The Giant wave There lived a boy named Jerry. He was plump and short. His eyes were almond shaped and he had brown curly hair. He had two best friends named Bob and Ruby. One day, they were crossing the ocean, on their large red boat. They had carried a lot of sandwiches and biscuits as it was a long journey. They were cruising along but suddenly, Bob saw a huge wave approaching them. Their hearts pounded like drums, their legs wobbled and their voice was numb. In no time, the wave hit the boat and it capsized. All of them were drowning in water.
Their food and other items were washed away. The boat sank in water. Although Bob and Ruby managed to swim, Jerry could not. He was bobbing up and down with his life jacket. He was petrified. Bob and Ruby tried to save him but they could not. Tears welled up from deep inside and coursed down his cheeks. A beautiful mermaid who lived in a burrow deep inside the ocean saw this and showered her mercy. She waved her Arctic blue tail and glided and reached there. She caught his hand and saved him. It was a miracle. They were shocked to see such a merciful, beautiful and mesmerising creature. The mermaid waved her magical wand and gave them a cute small boat which was so strong that nothing in the world could break it. She also gave them back their food and other essentials. They thanked the mermaid and had a safe and happy journey.

Santa Claus!! On Christmas morning I was very sleepy. But somebody woke me up in the morning. I thought it was my mother(as usual). I wouldn’t wake up. Then my mother gently pulled my blanket off me. I pulled it back up, annoyed. She started to wake me up gently. I got annoyed and woke up. My eyes were not completely open and I saw a huge man standing beside my bed trying to wake me gently. I opened my eyes completely and saw SANTA CLAUS himself. He had a patient and kind look. He was wearing a red and white hat, a red dress with a black belt and black, clean boots. I was in complete shock. I woke up and got dressed. Then I asked him, “Why did you not get me a present last Christmas? Why did everyone think he was a myth? He said he does not know why people took him as a myth but last Christmas he could not give me a present as he was very busy. I told him that people say that he delivered presents to everyone, every Christmas. Is that true? asked, “That is true. But last Christmas I was so busy that I could not deliver presents to anyone”. I started getting to work. He said he had only one day with me, so I had to make it count. I was lucky that he woke me up at 6am. I still had half an hour
It is 2020 and the new disease Covid-19 was affecting the world. So I wanted him to get rid of the virus. I wanted to ask him for a huge telescope that would allow me to see other galaxies. I wanted him to help the poor people. Give them a good life, like the one I experience or an even better one. I wanted to invite my friends over for a party and introduce them to SANTA. I wanted him to give all my friends, family members and teachers one gift that they really want. I wanted him to get me a collection of books of: Percy Jackson, Famous Five and Secret Seven. I wanted a watch. I wanted it to be a beautiful smart watch. I wanted him to give me a pet dog.
This was my list. He had dinner with my family. He magically made a meal appear on the table. And my mother did not have to cook. The food appeared in a flash. The meal was delicious. After dinner, he stayed and had a chat with me and my family. At night, when it was time for me to go to bed, he tucked me in and played some music for me. He told me good night and played a soothing song. Soon I was asleep. And I felt so happy. I had enjoyed my day with him very much. The next day I woke up. I checked my calendar. It was the 25th of December. It was CHRISTMAS DAY. I was very excited. I asked my mother how long Santa had stayed after I fell asleep? My mother replied Santa did not exist and he is just a myth. I described my day with Santa. My mother said “I guess you had such a great dream you thought it actually happened.” I couldn’t believe it. My mother was right. The dog I had in my dream was not there. In fact there was no dog at my house like it was before my dream. I was unhappy that day did not exist. Though I was happy it was finally Christmas Day. Hey, has this ever happened to you? Did you ever have a dream so good that you find it real but later you find out it was just a dream? It has happened to me many times, though this was the best dream I had, so I thought I would share it with you all. Bye! -

The Halloween Mystery Once there was a girl named Lily, it was Halloween night and Lily was having a Halloween party with all her friends. Mary, Sophia, Stephanie, Maudie, Jessica and Ava were all her friends who were coming. Lily’s mother, Emma, was getting all the food and decorations ready. Lily was very excited as she and her friends were going Trick or Treating and having a sleepover later! After a while, all her friends started arriving. First Sophia, then Maudie, then Jessica, then Stephanie, Mary and at last Ava. After all her friends arrived, Lily decided to start the party with going Trick or Treating. They went to various houses in Lily’s neighbourhood; they knocked on a house’s door which said “ VILLA NO. 000” nobody opened the door even after 5-6 minutes. “Why does this house number say 000?” asked Ava. “I don’t know!” said Lily with a scared voice. The door then suddenly opened! Sophia gasped, “Why is there nobody at the door?” Everyone was scared.
All of them were starting to worry. “Mom! Dad! Evan! Somebody ! HELP! Screamed Maudie. “Chill, I know we will and surely find a way out!” said Stephanie with a chill voice. Everyone could believe that Stephanie was still staying chill because she always finds a solution. Stephanie called an emergency silent meeting because the ghost should not hear what they are saying. “Okay, I have a idea!” whispered Stephanie. “What is it?” asked Lily in a silent voice. Stephanie said that “ I know that the ghost wouldn’t be so smart to lock all the windows and balconies of the second floor.” She ordered Mary to go and check if they were locked or not. Mary said “Dear ghost may I go and look at your house upstairs? “OKAY, BUT DON’T DO ANYTHING SNEAKY!” said the ghost. “Okay!” nodded Mary. She went upstairs and saw that the balconies and windows were NOT locked! Then she went and told the others quietly. “Ghost we heard from Mary that your second floor is really beautiful, so can we all go look at it please?” asked Stephanie. “SURE!” said the ghost.They all went upstairs and escaped through a balcony! Then they all went home and told Lily’s mother everything. “WOW, Stephanie, you were very smart!” exclaimed Lily’s mother. Everyone agreed with Emma. Then they all had a very good Halloween party after all!!! -
They all went into the house slowly…. There were many cobwebs, pumpkins and very scary Halloween decorations. Now everyone was even more scared. “HELLO AND WELCOME TO MY HAUNTED HOUSE!” shouted a very scary and spooky voice. “ARE YOU READY TO BE HAUNTED?” said the spooky voice again. There were a few mirrors in the middle of the kitchen which said, “Why did you enter this house?” Another one said, “Are you ready to be haunted?” and the last one said, “This house is private!” Jessica read all of the mirrors and said “Guys, I think we should get out!” Mary agreed that they should.

This situation forced us to look at things differently. It made us realize the value of everyday food, and manage ourselves with limited resources. It taught us to respect our farmers and vendors who brought essentials to respect our doorstep. It taught us not to waste food as many people were unable to get a single meal during the lockdown period. We became more alert and aware about our hygiene and cleanliness. We got close to our parents and understood about their childhood days. Also we learnt about our moral duty is to stand by our domestic help who makes our life easy and smooth. The selfless work by our health care workers to save thousands of lives is indeed great! This quarantined life that we are living today has taught us many lessons. It is clear that our strength lies in our unity. Weather clapping hands as a gesture of thanksgiving or lighting diyas or lanterns, every nation is trying to spread solidarity among all its citizens. Nature too is repairing due to decreased pollution. We now have enough time to hear birds chirping, flowers blooming. The pandemic has made us realize the significance of living in harmony with nature and we ought to respect and protect it. It is time to rise above supremacy and greed and join hands to fight against such pandemics and protect our environment, rebuilding a new greener and a healthier world. We all have to be creative, positive and innovative to pass this situation calmly. While we reach out for the sky and aim at touching new heights, it is important to strengthen the Earth beneath our feet. Let the light of hope calm and tranquility prevail!! -

Learnings from the Pandemic
Me and My Budgies
The whole world has come to a standstill, it seems like the Almighty has pressed the pause button for all of us, to make us rethink the life we are living. The COVID-19 pandemic had turned our lives upside down. The villainous coronavirus was killing thousands of people and we were helpless. None of us ever imagined that we would have to be confident in our homes, with no outings and unable to meet our friends and relatives.
I loved to read about pets and how to take care of them. I wanted a dog but my parents said I could have one on my next summer holidays. But, I was very bored without any pets so my parents thought to buy me a pair of budgies. I was fine with that idea. So that Sunday we went and bought a pair of budgies. The male was blue and the female was yellow. I was very happy. On the first day the budgies just sat on the perches doing nothing else.
After 3 days the budgies started playing a bit. I tried to feed them but still they would get scared if anyone came near their cage. After at least a week they felt quite at home in their new cage. I fed them fruits and leaves. After a few months I guessed the female budgie is going to lay eggs. I had read that the female budgie’s cere (the part above the beak) will turn brown from peach. Then I went and told my parents that we need to give her a nest box. My parents bought one the next day. I kept waiting, but there was no sign of any eggs. Then one day, I woke up and found one tiny egg inside the nest box. As soon as I came too close to the cage, the female budgie went back inside the nest box. I just had a glimpse of the egg. I then told my parents. Then again the next day I found another egg. That went on for a week. After a week there were 5 eggs in the nest box. I was very happy. After 15 days of waiting, one egg finally hatched. A tiny pale budgie could be seen. Then I thought that the next budgie may appear the next day. But, I didn’t see anything the next day. I waited for days but there was no sign of the second egg hatching. One day I found the second egg had broken and not hatched. That showed that the budgie was forming inside the egg, but could not hatch because it broke. I was sad after the incident. Then I waited for more days but not a single of the 3 remaining eggs hatched. I then knew the other eggs were not fertile. But the hatched budgie kept growing and started to grow feathers. Sometimes there would even be cats lurking around because they mostly target and hunt baby budgies. So I never left them outside at night. The stray birds also used to visit sometimes. After a few weeks the baby budgie grew strong and came out of the nest box. I then took out the nest box inside the cage. After that day the budgie family of 3 and my family of 3 lived happily together. -

Nothing is Impossible Reading the title, you may think it’s not true. But it is for Eg: people thought going to space was impossible but now you can. If you think something is impossible, it will be for you. Everything is
possible for anyone. Hard work and perseverance will help achieve any goal. Some obstacles may discourage you on your way but these are just imaginary distractions which will sidetrack you and make achieving your goal harder. Believing in yourself will keep you motivated for any task. Albert Einstein, APJ Abdul Kalam and Walt Disney are notable figures but their beginnings are quite surprising. Albert Einstein math’s teacher complained that he did not pay attention in math. APJ Abdul Kalam’s first rocket mission failed multiple times. Walt Disney was fired from his newspaper job due the lack of imagination. From their humble beginnings to what they are known for now, the reason they did not fail was due to their own determination to achieve their goal. The Missile Man of India, to one of the greatest minds in history and the maker of the animated characters. Their goal always was achievable and though they had some major setbacks, they never gave up. Albert Einstein himself said “Everyone is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.” To conclude, in the present world many things have been proven possible. The world is full of opportunities grabbing them and doing justice is on you. If you’re offered a seat on a rocket ship, don’t ask what seat, “Just get on” as said by Sheryl Sandberg. Just like that we must make use of every single opportunity we get. Aim higher, do bigger, try harder and be better. A famous saying by Brandt Paul has inspired many to do the same with his famous saying “How can the sky be the limit when there are footprints on the moon.” -

Lockdown from a different lens Rufus Scrimgeour, the Minister of Magic said in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1, “These are dark times, there is no denying. Our world has perhaps faced no greater threat than it
does today.” This quote stands true for COVID19 as well. The virus brought the world to its knees. Most part of this globe came to a standstill in Feb-Mar, 20 and for some their world went topsy turvy. A new pandemic shook the world and a deadly virus dominated the lives of us humans. It imposed a lockdown situation which meant people stayed inside their premises and their freedom to move around was restricted. 10 months on, when I look back at the other side of the coin, I see that lockdown gave us an opportunity to cherish the little joys of life and value this gift and the people around us. Firstly, we understood the great value that our Covid Warriors hold in our lives; people who we never really get to thank enough, we now thank them for being there for all of us. We no more take our health for granted. Most of us learnt the tricks to increase our immunity, like drinking the famous grandma recipe ‘Kadha’ and making healthy meals at home. Some even honed their love for cooking and baking. I did learn to bake a variety of cakes. Family – near or far came closer and we think about their well-being all the time. Chatting and video calling my grandparents regularly made me more caring as a person and a better version of me. I don’t remember the last time I played so many indoor games with my family. Story books made their way back in my rack, having all 3 meals together as a family and discussing stories, cycling for an hour with my sister, binging on Netflix and Amazon Prime, watching and giving opinion on every news report is my new time pass. An interesting way of education came up in the form of Online classes for kids around the globe, just like Work from Home for adults. Teachers went out of their way to keep the same momentum going like they did in the conventional way of teaching. As for personal development I enjoyed my daily dose of my passion - colouring, an art that I could not pursue daily. I even learnt the art of growing and maintaining a kitchen garden. I realized how celebrations like birthdays could be done as a lowkey affair. And yes, the world healed. It got the much needed break especially from pollution and overcrowding.
In all, lockdown did change our lives. If we look at the positive side then it gave us an opportunity to cherish and thank God for each and every moment in life. -

Words of wisdom that I will not forget During the lockdown I was in my native Dharwad, which is known for its delicious sweets. I was with my grandparents, my cousins, and my parents. My parents mostly were working from home, my grandparents had to take care of my younger brother and my cousin brother. So, I did not have much company. I did have my laptop, so I started reading e-books and playing online chess. I watched epics like Mahabharat and Ramayana on T.V. Soon after that I started to help my grandparents and lost my boredom. Before I slept, I used to ask them how they were when they were as young as me, a thought that fascinated me. What if elders could relive their childhood, wouldn’t that be spectacular? With evolving knowledge and technologies this can be soon possible. Three months later I found myself in Bangalore studying for my pre-midterm exams, I called my grandparents to tell them I had exams. They wished me good luck and told me to concentrate on the questions. Two weeks later the results were out, and I did not in the slightest get what I expected in Mathematics. The very same day my grandparents called and asked my result in math, in all honesty I told them my marks feeling rather ashamed of myself. My grandfather told me that this had happened to him as well, hearing this I was shocked because he had done PhD in soil science. He continued that he could not consult anyone at that point; he started studying hard, day and night. I knew I had to practice 10 times more than what I did, so I tried another time nonetheless I got average marks in math and I was again told by my grandparents that I was improving. I thought let’s not give up. So, I tried again and the fruit of hard work was sweeter than I thought, I got full marks and I rushed to call my grandparents to tell them this miracle or rather fruit of hard work. They were incredibly happy to hear this and my Grandfather told me to be consistent in my efforts and to always work hard. I
will never in my life forget the wise words of my Grandfather. - Vismith, VII-N
Monsoon Days Monsoon makes me happy, And makes me sad. It rains all day, And that’s not very bad! Plants bathe themselves, Flowers play along. The smell of earth being very happy, Lasts very long! But the gloominess makes me very sad, As the sun is not out. It is playing hide and seek with the earth, And there is no time-out! Monsoon makes me happy, And it also makes me sad. I don’t know which feeling to choose, and that is very bad! - Bidhatrika Banerjee, VIII N
Educated but Helpless I was walking down the temple stairs as I heard someone sobbing. When I turned around, I found a woman sitting near the steps. She was very young, probably in her late 20's; She was wearing an old tattered sari with some half-broken bangles on either of her hands. I felt pity for her. It was Diwali, the festival of lights. It is a festival when everyone meets their family and friends and distributes sweets. I went up to her and asked her if I could help her. Generally, when you want to help someone, you should take their consent too or it looks harsh. As soon as she saw me, she covered her face with her sari's pallu and she looked frightened. It wasn't my first time I had met someone who I wanted to help and it wasn't going to be my last either! Somehow, I convinced her that I would take care of her and finally she agreed to come with me. I called up my secretary and he gave me some location close by old-age homes. I knew that she wasn't old but until I found a proper house for her to stay, I thought that she could manage there.
When I was on my way back home, my phone started ringing loudly; I picked it up and realized that my school friends had called me to a coffee shop. I quickly told my driver to take a turn and reached the coffee shop as fast as possible. When I entered, I saw all my school friends sitting there talking and reviving old memories. I kept my bag aside and sat to talk with the others. Just as I was talking, I remembered that all of my classmates hadn't come for the reunion, there was someone missing. Then I remembered, Aaradhya was the person I was missing out on! She was one of the most studious and diligent girls of our school, she always topped the class. She had gotten into a respectable university in the US and after that I had lost contact with her. I thought she would also be attending the reunion and I thought it would be exciting to meet her again. After talking for a while, we decided to leave as it had been four hours since we had come. I sat in my car and waved everyone goodbye. It certainly had been a fun time with my classmates talking about all we did in school. As I was thinking, my phone started ringing again. I picked it up and I found my secretary calling me. He said that he had found some information regarding the lady whom I had left in the old-age home. When he told me all about the lady, I was shocked! That lady was no one other than Aaradhya! After she had passed out of university, she got married to an Indian guy. Her mother-inlaw had been rude to her, as she thought that women are not to be educated. She had asked for more dowry from Aaradhya. Aaradhya being educated was against giving dowry and had tried to file a case. The same day, her husband and his family moved away, leaving Aaradhya on the road. This was all I could hear. Was this the future of a girl who studied hard all her life and earned a respectable position? Are the future of educated as well as uneducated girls lead to the same point? I felt helpless at that point of time, it was as if I couldn't help Aaradhya at all! People had to understand that women are also humans not toys and they deserve the same respect as men. All of these questions started to buzz in my mind, as a tear fell from my eye...

Corona’s Persona
Corona, corona what a persona, You smell like a scary aroma!! I have been hearing you ringing bells off the hook, But didn't actually know how you were going to look! You were on your way, Yet I was calling it a fine day. I thought it to be fun, Who knew you were going to make us run!! You came with a gun! Leaving us all stunned!! Out whoever so got, They with your gun were shot! Finally I decided to stay at home, And Google more about you at Google chrome. People working from their homes are paid, That’s what my research says.
- Aadyyot Raaj, VIII B How Jupiter and Saturn stole Christmas Helloooo everybody, this is IdkAnyGoodUsername speaking from what might be the last blog of my life. Right now, it is 23:40, 24th December 2020, ThursdaySaturday (Yes that is now a thing). In 20 minutes, the world is supposedly ending, and I have many things to say about it. Well, actually, most bloggers do, but I figured since I have around a billion followers, this might get a tad bit more noticed. For the people who don’t have the time to scroll through all my endless chatter, I think I’ll just make it short. First, Thursday and Saturday became the same day. From there, it all went downhill. Okay, let’s begin… It all started at exactly 16:56, 21st December 2020, Monday (I did remember all that, thank you very
much). All of a sudden, my mother called me. She said that today, we could see Jupiter and Saturn in the sky at the same time. All I could see was two tiny dots of light, so, so, so, so, so far away. So much fuss about two dots. I just don’t get it. So, I went back to doing what I do. You know, just checking my feed and all those things. And my phone beeped.Now, I know what you guys are thinking.Why do we care if your phone beeped? You’re probably imagining a “beep” beep, but it was more like a “BLARARPARPARPARRRRRP”. So basically, it was a BLARP. Or maybe a BLARPARP Whatever, let's get back to the topic. So, the President was going to address the people that day at 19:00 Hrs, hence the beep. And after some research I found out that every leader of every country was addressing their subjects at the same time.Weird right? Fast forward to 19:00. Here’s what the President said.Well, actually, all the leaders said the same thing, except the parts where there are references to their own country.So, just replace USA references with those of your country, and you have it. Even weirder. I mean, they’re DEFINITELY not supposed to be doing this. The President said,“Citizens of America, today is a turning point in world history. We are going to witness a phenomenon that no one has ever even heard of before. We have with us here-” He gestured to the video slot beside him where there was this religious scholar sitting, “A religious scholar who will tell you all about it.”That was strange in itself. How often does the President address the people only to talk about some “Interesting Phenomenon?” And then hands the mic to the religious scholar? Getting weirder and weirder by the second. The scholar said,“As you all probably know, today, Jupiter and Saturn are visible in the sky together-” I know right? So much fuss about two dots. “We scholars believe this is a sign from heaven. It is giving us a warning, telling us something. In Bengali, the words for Jupiter and Saturn are Brihaspathi and Shani. They also happen to be the words for Thursday and Saturday. And the fact that they are visible together means that the coming Thursday and Saturday shall be the same day, making it a Thursday-Saturday (Told you that was a thing). There shall be 365 days this year, not 366, as Sunday will come backwards to fill the gap made by missing Saturday.”
Then it ended. AAAAH IT WAS JUST TOO WEIRD AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. Seriously? Well, but since the President approved it, I guess it’s true. Also, in case you were wondering, no, it wasn’t the same religious scholar on every address. I know what you’re thinking now as well (HA, I’m a psychic. IN YOUR FACE FORTUNE TELLERS).So there’s one day less in the year. How does that lead to the world ending? Wait and watch. Lemme just fast forward it to Thursday-Saturday 17:00. Again, I wasn’t doing anything wrong, just minding my own business. And then there was another announcement, this time held by the Head of NASA. There were also many other famous scientists (Except the dead ones, of course). And a bunch of religious scholars.I figured the scientists were going to debate with the scholars on the Thursday-Saturday thing. How wrong I was. The address used so many big brain words, I had to google almost every word in it. So, I will just simplify it. Basically, Saturday was the 26th of December, which is Boxing Day. And on Boxing Day, a test cricket match is always held. And if Sunday came back to fill the gap created by Saturday, the test match would start on Sunday. Apparently, the rules of the cosmos state that test matches cannot start on Sundays. So, the forces of the cosmos would pull Friday forwards to fill Saturday’s gap. And since it had the power of two days, Thursday-Saturday could resist the pull of the void created by missing Friday (My brain is exploding trying to make sense of this). Therefore, there would be a void where Friday was. Which also happens to be Christmas. Doesn’t the title make sense now? Jupiter and Saturn stole Christmas. But wait, there’s more. Not only is there a void, but it is also some sort of black hole in time (I googled it, it would be a temporal black hole).This temporal black hole would suck everything up, and the world would end. That is so unfair! And even the scientists confirmed this. Which, as you can probably (no, definitely) imagine, threw everyone into a blind panic. I’m not gonna lie, I panicked all the way until it was 20:00 Hrs.But then I became sane again. So, I just said goodbye to everyone. And only in the last twenty minutes did I think of writing this.
So here I am, sitting here at my desk, writing my blog, and awaiting impending doom. And this is the story of how Jupiter and Saturn single-handedly (I don’t know, is it doublehandedly) stole Christmas and ended the world.Well, it’s 23:59 now, and I know it’s hard to imagine I wrote all this in just 19 mins, but I type FAST, okay? Now to send this and wait for death. This is IdkAnyGoodUsername, signing off. See you. NEVER. ----------UPDATE---------Huh. This is strange. Apparently, I’m alive. And exhausted. It is 11:00, 25th December 2020, Friday, and all seems to be normal. I’m confused. What happened? There was a press conference today where the President admitted the “truth”. The reason “truth” is in quotes will be clear shortly. I’m too tired to simplify the speech (It was SO sciencey), so have it as it is, with a few simplifications, of course. Oh, and this was supposedly a UN venture, so every leader again gave the exact same speech. The President: “Citizens of America, I, President of America, have something to confess. On 21st December 2020, the UN was testing out a new peacekeeping weapon. We have with us today, a scientist, who will clear up.” The Scientist (No, it wasn’t the same scientist for everyone): “What we did was, we took the most potent sedative we had. Then, using lasers, we injected the drugs into a secret species of airborne virus which absorbed it. We changed the biological matter in the virus to electromagnetic signals using another secret device, which we put into every popular file we could find online. It was both a computer and biological virus. When we thought the virus couldn’t spread any farther, we used a program to run the files, but made the device overheat so the virus, which we changed back to a living being, could escape through the air vents. It then spread by every medium and infected every human on this planet.” The President: “But, we had grossly overestimated the amount of sedative needed. It ended up knocking all humans out. Also, because of all the changes in the makeup of the virus, it developed a side effect- Lucid, strange, and common dreams. By common, I mean that everyone infected by it would dream the same thing. I now see that this was a very immoral action,
and this bioweapon has been banned from further use.” Many scientists also confirmed this, so most people believed it. I wasn’t one of them. Why do you ask? Two reasons. UN- It’s a peacekeeping organisation. Why would they create a weapon? The second one is more important. If it was all a dream, how come I wrote all this out and posted it???
- Anagh Bagchi, VII B Examination of life
followed by a two-or-three-years of junior college or a four-year college. Compulsory education lasts for 9 years through elementary and junior high school. For physically or mentally challenged students, there is a system to support special students, to develop their self-reliance and thus enhance their social participation. Generally, public schools in Japan have classes five days a week, from Monday to Friday. In junior high and high schools, there are six class periods each day, typically lasting 50 minutes for each. After classes, students clean the classrooms in shifts and then start their club activities. There are a variety of clubs such as cultural and sports ones. An Example of School Timetable
Don’t get upset from the ups and downs, Take life as it comes your way, This is the examination of life, Be patient, and the sorrows will far away. Your life is yours, But not its strands, Your luck is yours, But not in your hands. Have faith in God and yourself too, Faith will never let you go wrong, It’s the hidden power within yourself, Rather, it makes weak souls so strong. Every black spot paves, the path for a ray, This is the examination of life, Be patient, and the sorrows will far away.
School year begins in April and ends in March of the following year. Most schools adopt a threesemester system, with the first semester from April to August, the second semester from September to December, and the third semester from January to March. There is also a summer break (from the end of July to the end of August), a winter break (from the end of December to the beginning of January), and a spring break (from the end of March to the beginning of April). Student clubs are a characteristic part in Japan’s school education. There are also numerous student clubs revolving around Japanese traditional sports and culture, such as judo, kendo(Japanese swordsmanship), sado (Japanese tea ceremony), kado (Japanese flower arrangement), shodo (Japanese calligraphy), etc. Club activities also provide students with the chance to participate in school exchange and friendly matches.

- Saksham Bandhlish, VIII I Japan’s Education

The Japanese school system primarily consists of six-years of elementary school, threeyears of junior high school and three-years of high school,

School Band, School Choir Drama, Art, Literature Kado (Japanese flower arrangement) Sado (Japanese tea ceremony)
Track and Field
Shodo (Japanese calligraphy) etc.
Kendo (Japanese swordsmanship) etc. Although Japan is known to have one of the best education systems, it still lacks a few key elements. Having a high level of education, such as a college diploma or a university degree, is critical for Japanese students, since education directly affects their future career and a university’s name value determines students’ future employment prospects. As a result, the competition to enter prestigious universities is extremely severe and creates many negative effects on Japanese high school students. Three of the major problems are student’s lack of creativity, lack of freedom, and lack of future vision are: Firstly, Japanese educational system does not encourage creativity among the students. In Japan, university entrance does not depend on the students’ performance in high school; that is, only the results of the entrance examinations determine whether or not students can enter a university. This leads to an over-emphasis on memorization in the high school curriculum. Due to this, they hardly spend time on other activities such as class discussions, presentations, or experiments, which are also supposed to be part of their education. For example, class discussions and presentations help students learn to explore and express their opinions in public, and experiments require keen observation and analysis, which train students to think analytically. By removing all of these other important activities, the Japanese educational system prevents students from developing creativity. Secondly, students do not have much freedom. One reason is the number of assignments and examinations in high schools. The third year of high school (equivalent to grade 12 in Canada) is the most typical. Students have at least one exam every week, so they hardly have any weekends off. They spend almost all their holidays such as summer holidays taking supplementary classes. The second reason is the class size. Japanese high schools usually have fairly large class sizes with approximately 40-45 students in one class sharing one teacher (Johnson and Johnson). Such class sizes are too large for the teacher to pay attention to
each student, so some students cannot get the help they need. In fact, 60% of Japanese high school students attended juku (private schools) in 1993 (“The Japanese Education”). These two factors cause students to have hardly any free time to balance their life. Finally, Japanese educational system creates a lack of future vision among students. One of the main reasons is pressure from teachers. For each high school, the percentage of students entering university, especially prestigious ones, directly influences the school’s reputation. The more students go to decent universities, the better image the high school will enjoy. Therefore, more students will apply to the high school. As a result, teachers are usually very eager to push students to aim for prestigious universities rather than focus on their career goals. Such pressures from teachers make students unable to develop a clear vision of their future. In brief, Japanese educational system prevents students from developing creativity, enjoying free time, and maintaining a clear future vision.
- Ushashi Roy, VII F From Mother Nature’s Eyes
Today’s largest crisis- the Novel Coronavirus, Is it a threat, or a cleanser? Well, this question only remains, Because Mother Nature sees a different picture. This crisis- The COVID-19, T’has given a chance to more plants to be seen, The bushes, the shrubs, and the trees, Are reinforced and swaying with the breeze. Yesterday- a beautiful view from the balcony, A flock of birds danced in symphony, Arranging together; to form various entities, Going ‘round, showing their flair in all cities. Flowers all ‘round, growing very fair,
Of various shades, growing without despair, No mowing of grass, no plucking flowers very rare, All growing lovely and beautiful to stare.
homes for weeks and months together, scared of going outside or meeting people. This pandemic has brought its share of good as well as bad or even worse changes to our lives.
The Corona Virus must be a threat to human, But it’s God’s will to retain the greenery, He wants planet Earth to regain its purity, So that all living beings can live open and free.
We have spent considerable time in our homes with our families, much more than we ever did – doing a lot of new and different things viz. learning to cook new dishes, doing household chores and playing board games with kids – which otherwise people seldom get time to do.
- Aarav Barnwal, VIII D Moonlight When I went outside, I saw the moonlight Shining by the seaside So pretty in the night. Each full moon reminds me of you, I feel like singing out a tune, What a wonderful view! Oh moonlight, Always shining bright You wish me goodnight And spend the night. You disappear on days, Darkening all ways The sky looks so dark, Where is the white mark?
The pandemic has inevitably taught us the importance of maintaining hygiene and cleanliness. We have definitely become much more conscious of making right choices about what we eat, drink and do to keep ourselves fitter and safer. Immunity boosters have become the buzzword today. More and more people have started devoting their time for physical exercise and fitness. However, there is one aspect which is not on top of our priority list that is, keeping ourselves mentally fit. Mental health plays a very important role in keeping us fit and healthy. It includes our emotional, psychological, and social wellbeing. It affects how we think, feel and act, determines how we respond or react to a particular situation. Pandemic has had its negative impact on mental health for a large section of society due to a variety of reasons – be it risk of getting infected with the virus, or risk of losing employment or earning opportunities. World is facing new realities of working from home, online learning for children and lack of face-to-face connection with relatives, friends and colleagues. Hence, it is important that we give adequate focus to our physical as well as mental health. Here are some recommendations on how to cope up with the stress and keep our mental health in a good shape during such pandemic situations:

Reduce the screen time – avoid spending long hours on surfing the internet, playing mobile games, watching TV. Reading or hearing about the negative stories on pandemic repeatedly can be upsetting.
This pandemic has affected all. But let us all take very good care of ourselves and our near ones - both physically and mentally. Keep the hope alive that this phase shall too pass away and we would definitely see the better times ahead.
- Heli C Shah, VIII A Lockdown When comes the lockdown Nobody can walk down, Tired of being at home And staying alone. If you want to visit workplace You have to go through a tough phase, Thinking of going to the mall While sitting in the living hall. The roads are vast, Everyone’s wearing a mask Can’t do an task Why is time spending so fast.
- Tanvi Priyadarshini, VII F My Dream
On a shore, I was standing alone when a sudden chill woke me. I woke up and saw the blanket had left me. So, I pulled it closer and went to sleep, On the shore which was in peace.
The peace was broken by a roaring sound, which freaked me out. I woke up and saw it was the AC machine, not an animal. Phew! I saw my mom waking up with me and she looked extremely angry. So, without another word, I was off to the beach which was in peace. When the morning rolled in, I forgot what happened last night. So, I went for breakfast, with a new, fresh mind.
- Bidhatrika Banerjee, VIII N Nature The greenery, living creatures, beautiful flowers and the cleanliness of nature is what gives utmost pleasure to the one who observes it. Spending time in a green, pleasant, natural, pollution free place gives peace of mind. Nature completely absorbs your mind and takes away your worries. It also promotes creative thinking like writing poems,essays and so on. During the hard time when coronavirus or COVID-19 was on the loose and affecting many people a strict lockdown was followed in India. Even now the virus is spreading but the lock down is not strict any longer. During the lockdown period many people lost their jobs, thousands of people did not get paid, hundreds of people died due to hunger, millions of doctors, medical staff and police worked day and night risking their own lives to save others. I was safe in my hometown during the lockdown period. This was the time when I noticed how beautiful the place appeared. During this difficult time many jobs, lives and minds were shattered, but none of This affected nature. Nature grew and blossomed with its own strength, health and speed. The nature was amazing. The innumerable birds that flew
past us, the various kinds of trees, the lovely animals, oh how beautiful! I loved laying in my hammock in the middle of the orchard and staring at the beautiful nature. All the fruit markets and shops were shut during the lockdown. But we grew fruits in our garden and orchard. We ate delicious mangoes, sweet bananas, sour wild berries, juicy water apples and tasty jamun fruits. With my family I enjoyed the treat of nature. It is after all our responsibility to protect our nature. For wonderful memories with nature we must take care of our surroundings by cleaning it, growing more plants, keeping food and water for birds and small animals specially during the summer season. If we keep our earth and our natural surroundings healthy and green we will certainly get the fruit of our hard work. Only cleaning it and grooming it won’t complete the work, it will only be finished when we spend time in nature and show our love towards nature. Nature does receive love. It is a fact that when we show love or sing to plants they grow faster than usual. Protection of nature is in our hands. Nature is wonderful. It has shown me its utmost beauty this summer.
- Ananya, VIII Q Rain – A blessing
The wind roared; the trees swayed, The dark clouds greeted; children danced, It was long since we felt those drops, Long since we grew our crops, Finally, was it when we could smell the rain? The tiny drops started to pour,
And there was a cheer among the young and old, All were seen chanting, For it was God’s granting.
- Bhavik Mittal, VIII F Raksha Bandhan celebrations with my little sister! I’m very fortunate to have a little sister. She is very cute and endearing. Whoever knows her, loves her a lot.She has the most charming smile in the world. My sister’s name is Anahita, which means ‘pure’ and it suits her a lot. Like my short name Adi, everyone at home calls her by the short name Ana. My sister was born on the day of Ram Navami, and so my grandparents call her ‘Navami’. She is now 4 years old and she has many nicknames! My sister calls me ‘Brado’, which is the short form of the word brother. I always play with her after my online school classes. I’m very happy to have such a lovely sister and wish to stay with her for the rest of my life. Every year we celebrate Raksha Bandhan. This is an extremely special occasion that celebrates the pure bond of love between a brother and a sister. My mother helps my sister light a diya and perform aarti on me. My sister then applies tilak on my forehead and ties the prettiest rakhi on my hand. My father gives both of us chocolates and I give my sister a gift. Last year I gave her a silver bracelet and she loved it. This year too we’re planning to celebrate the festival on 3rd of August. I’ve already ordered her favourite barbie doll and intend to give her a surprise. Would request all of you to keep my sister and me in your prayers this Raksha Bandhan. Thank you!
- Abhisyant M Baruah, VII B Revival
The flowers that were once brown and withering, Now blossom into a gift of nature, And the trees that were once rough and weeping, Now look up sturdy and blessed. Even the sky is a deeper hue of blue that can be, Seen clearly, without the smoke of pollution, The parks can be seen with green grass galore, And Cherry Blossoms in every inch. A certain fragrance now fills our world, The streets empty and people have stopped torturing Our planet… The pandemic may be Troublesome for many, But to see the silver line is to know, That it does well. It rejuvenates our environment, Good to the plants that used to hang, Their heads down in shame and ruination. Good to the fresh winter The blooming springs The bright summers, And the autumns, We will always cherish. As a memory of how the Mankind was locked down, While the nature was Allowed to flourish.

still going through, however one profession is getting stronger in my mind. The COVID-19 situation has been tough for everyone, we are all locked in our homes, a lot of restrictions to move around, and the situation has created a lot of fear and havoc. At the same time the COVID-19 situation has led to many positive and innovative perspectives such as digitalization (online classes, payments, and other touch-less transactions.), robotics in restaurants, touchless technologies at airports, railway stations and other public transport systems. The COVID-19 has made me wonder how an invisible and a microscopic organism can potentially destroy the entire humanity. As I read through my VIII grade science chapters on body cells and its functions, and different microbes such as viruses, bacteria, fungi etc., I always related this to COVID-19. It is fascinating to learn how COVID-19 locates its host and how it replicates and uses the replication mechanism of the human cell itself to clone itself, how intelligent it is! Another aspect of this virus which caught my attention is that it is totally invisible, it reminds of the Hollywood movie, “Hollow Man”, and how difficult it was to fight him. These deadly microbes which harm us are known as pathogens. Some viruses are dangerous because there is no cure for them.
How COVID-19 shaped my dream of becoming a Microbiologist
The final aspect, which fascinates me is the mutation process. The virus mutates and takes a different form, which can be potentially dangerous and stronger than the previous version. This makes vaccination a cumbersome and difficult process. The best example is the Influenza (aka The Common Flu) virus, every year it mutates and therefore the vaccine must be changed and newly manufactured each year.
What am I going to become when I grow up? This is a very common question that children of every age ask themselves or an elder asks a child. The most common occupations which children love to become are either a doctor, engineer, or a scientist etc. I too have gone through this confusion and am
Therefore, I have been dreaming to study and research about viruses, and I learnt that this field is called microbiology and the person who researches about microorganisms is called a Microbiologist. And I want to become a microbiologist! Ever since we have got separate components for science like
biology, chemistry and physics, I have been a real fan of biology or bio, and now I love studying and researching microorganisms and their behaviour. I did some more study to know who all the famous microbiologists are. And I was pleasantly surprised to know the names - Louis Pasteur, Antonie Van Leeuwenhoek, and others. Antonie Van Leeuwenhoek is my favorite, I recollected that I had read about him in my textbook. He is known as the father of microbiology. That’s because he was the one who discovered the first living cell and the invisible world of microorganisms. Now I want to explore the world of microorganisms and I want a microscope! Today, 30 Dec is my birthday, I asked my dad to give me a microscope, and he readily agreed to it and I can’t wait anymore to receive my first microscope. When I grow up, I want to find a cure for all kinds of harmful viruses. We all know some of these viruses either come from various animals such as pigs and bats. But I wonder why these viruses don’t affect them. th

Mexican and American authorities also used the ventilator. WE.RACE.ON The first ever Virtual Grand Prix was held on 22 March with the slogan “WE.RACE.ON” to replace the cancelled races. Many drivers, former drivers and celebrities joined the virtual races. A new calendar was revealed on 25 August. Additional circuits that were not were not part of the original schedule were added to complete a 17-race calendar. Circuits like Istanbul Park, Mugello, Portimao, Imola, and Nürburgring were added as the spread of COVID-19 was relatively lower. Few circuits hosted 2 Grand Prix back-to-back to accommodate the new schedule.

Black Lives Matter Season started on the 3 July in Austria, this time with a new cause, ending racism. The racial acts in the US made 7-time world champion Lewis Hamilton of the Mercedes team raise his voice against racism. The 2020 Mercedes F1 car was painted black when the season was restarted.

COVID 19 Impact Before the first practice session, few members of McLaren were tested positive for coronavirus and the race was cancelled. To the disappointment of many fans this Formula One season came to a standstill. With the unseen impact of coronavirus, governing body FIA set up a crisis cell to monitor the evolving situation and potential impact on the rest of the scheduled season. Seven F1 teams put their old rivalries aside and combined efforts to battle the virus. This was called Project Pitlane. Project Pitlane started to adapt, innovate and develop ventilators and other
The virus was the biggest concern, innumerable preventive measures were taken to stop the virus from entering the paddock, and every race venue had COVID testing personnel and equipment. Every team had ‘bubbles’, where the team members did not have to socially distance themselves, but they had to follow all the COVID protocols when giving interviews, talking to other teams, etc. However, few team members and drivers still contracted the virus and followed the quarantine protocols of the country. Thankfully, every person who contracted the virus was cured. Controversies The 2019 Ferrari power unit was protested by Mercedes, Red Bull, McLaren, Renault, AlphaTauri, Racing Point and Williams. After the end of the season, the FIA investigated the Ferrari engine. They reached a ‘settlement’ whose details were not released to the public. This led to the 2020 Ferrari SF1000 to be highly uncompetitive.
Racing Point was a team that drew a lot of attention during testing, it had a lot of parts particularly the front wing and the brake ducts very similar to the 2019 Mercedes W10. This made many teams including Renault, Ferrari and McLaren to protest against the legality of the car. Racing Point had taken pictures of the Mercedes W10 and created a slightly modified version. Their team principal Otmar Szafnauer said that the cars were completely legal. However, the FIA fined the team 400,000 euros and removed 15 constructors’ championship points.
What is gender equality? The definition of this word is ‘When people of all genders have equal rights, opportunities and responsibilities.’ Has the world achieved gender equality? The answer is “no”. I see every day how women are discriminated against because of their gender. As a young female idealist, I resent it when I see these acts of inequality happening towards women. For example – •
Records Broken Kimi Räikkönen broke the record for the highest distance driven in F1 beating Rubens Barrichello. Mercedes broke the record for the highest number of consecutive constructors’ championships won. And finally, Lewis Hamilton broke the record for the most race wins and matched Michael Schumacher for the highest number of Drivers’ World Championships won (7) by winning the 2020 season. The season also saw 2 new race winners and one new pole sitter. Crash In the Bahrain grand prix, Romain Grosjean suffered one of the worst crashes in the modern era of Formula One with his car piercing through a barrier and going up in flames. Thankfully, the Halo device, a protection device placed above the driver’s head saved his life along with all the fireproof gear and the medical crew. He only had minor burns on his hands and was otherwise, completely fine. This season was unique in its own way. It was going to be the longest F1 season, but became one of the shortest in the modern era. But it had a new purpose, to end racism. It was record breaking but also equally heart wrenching. A roller coaster for teams and fans alike this season will be remembered as one of the most extraordinary and peculiar seasons in Formula One.

Uneven access to education: Around the world, women still have less access to education than men. We see millions of girls dropping out of school either for marriage or for other reasons. In fact, according to a survey, due to the current ongoing pandemic there has been a maximum number of school dropouts and mostly it is girls. Lack of employment, in workplaces we see women employees being deprived of various opportunities. Poor medical care: in developing and poor countries we observe highest number of maternal deaths and sometimes female infanticide also. Gender equality is more than a goal in itself. It is a precondition for meeting the challenge of reducing poverty, promoting sustainable-development and building good governance in the world. I hope one day I would be able to contribute to this cause and try to give my small share to it as I feel so strongly towards it.
- Siya Mathur, VII D The Elemental Sacrifice Part – 1 “What is happening to us?!” There were 5 friends cycling down to their houses. Their names were: Alex, Webby, Blue, Adi and Rae. They were chatting and teasing each other, but then suddenly a giant hole appeared, and they all fell into it. They saw themselves going through all the cities and the wonders of the world. Suddenly Rae and Adi saw a huge clock ticking backwards. They understood that this could only mean one thing. TIME TRAVEL!! All the friends had time travelled and they fell in front of a weird, shaped temple. Blue
was exceptionally good at history and by the shape of the temple, he predicted that they were in the 14th Century. They saw a priest and asked him to be sure and the results were surprising. They were in 300 BC. Blue said to the priest “How is it possible that in 300B C this temple could have had such good technology.” The priest replied and said that this was a secret underground city which has the technology of the 15 Century and he said that they were struggling because of an elemental hero who was supposed to help them to thrive, but he instead used all the powers for himself and destroyed the farms, poultries etc. His name was Simpion and he was the sixth elemental, he had the powers of controlling the nature around him. The priest also said that there was a legend that 5 kids bearing the possible power of the 5 elements will save all humanity. The kids looked at each other and told the priest about how they came there and what had happened to them. Then suddenly the inscription on the wall which was according to the legend started to glow. The priest found out that the 5 kids were the savior elementals. So, the priest chanted and all the 5 friends started to float in the air. They all were surprised. th
Part – 2 “Let's Train!!” After floating they all fell down and felt weird. The priest gave them specific elements to control. Blue got water, Alex got fire, Webby got rock, Adi got to control atoms around him and could create anything out of something. But Rae did not feel weird. She thought that she didn’t get any power and then the priest said, “You are the strongest of them all. You get to keep the squad together. Without you, they will just fall apart at harsh times. You are the leader of them all.” So, then Rae felt super good and started to get the team together and they trained to get the evil Simpion. Adi asked the priest about what was happening in the real world. The priest had the answer to that too. He said, “while you all are here, the time at your dimension has stopped due to the tear in time. So, after you kill Simpion, you will wake up at the place you fell through the giant hole. To kill Simpion, you must shout his name to challenge him.” Part – 3 “The fight for our lives” After weeks of severe training, they had finally been given access to their full potential powers and the authority to fight Simpion. They started to
travel from the unknown temple to the Simpion caves (present day Elephanta caves). They faced many obstacles like the golden dragon of loot and the storms of the underground seas. After 4 days of nonstop travel, they had finally reached the Simpion caves. It looked like a mountain of a turtle. They shouted his name, and he accepted the challenge. Their fight went on for 2 days. Simpion didn't even hurt a little. They were exhausted but then Blue realized that if he flooded the Simpion, he would just flow away because he is mostly sand and rock. So, they agreed to his plan and distracted him while blue went on Simpion and started to throw water. That did almost nothing because like our actual earth, even he had many layers, and he was mostly rock on the outside. The only way to penetrate his shell was to go inside and flood him. That meant that blue had to sacrifice himself. The friends didn’t like that plan but then without listening he went and broke his shell. The war just got over like that, but they didn’t travel back to their time. Something was wrong. While trying to figure out what to do, Simpion was collecting himself and became even stronger. Now the 4 friends started to use all their energy on him but Rae was not feeling right. She was feeling sick and she fainted. The friends didn’t notice and continued to use their energy. Simpion was about to kill all of them and then from behind them a beam of all elements emerged and killed the almighty Simpion. It was Rae. She had the power of every element!! They then TIME TRAVELLED back to their time and they rejoiced, and they mourned for Blue. But then another giant hole appeared, and Blue came out of it! They rejoiced and looked forward to another adventure like this. After this journey they went to Blue’s house to enjoy their victory over dinner and they lived happily ever after.
- Saksham Bandlish, VIII I The Mysterious Angel!! OMG!! There was an accident and the lady was lying unconscious and was unrecognizable. My friend Kiran had two options before her save life or realize her dream. She chose to save her “life” and immediately called the ambulance. Soon the ambulance arrived and took the woman to the nearby hospital. Kiran reached the hospital and admitted her and paid for her treatment.
Kiran then rushed to the dance auditions venue hoping to make it to auditions at the last minute but when she reached, finalists' names were being announced. She couldn’t bear the pain and reached home dejected. She however thought, “Opportunities may come again in different forms but life doesn’t. I had followed my heart and did the right thing.” Later, she got a call from her friend to reach the same hospital where she had admitted that woman. Kiran reached the hospital and realized that it was her teacher whom she had saved earlier in the day. Kiran was stunned and happily greeted her. Her teacher explained the accident and mentioned she was so thankful for the mysterious angel who admitted her to the hospital and saved her life. Kids, Kiran later on became a successful CEO of an MNC. You know what my mom used to call me in childhood - “Kiran”!!
- Shreevarsha C, VIII D The New Path to Study in 2020 Technology has gone through many changes throughout the years. Humanity is on a critical journey where we must literally learn our way into a better and a brighter future. Being connected through the internet fuels this learning. Informed decisions make us venture into a better future. Now more than ever, being digitally connected is of paramount importance. People with poor or no internet connection are at a huge disadvantage.
we got to have internet access which is our ticket to virtual learning and the web. This vital link is important to keep the fuel for learning going. Now the virtual difference of ‘have’ and ‘have not’ have become ‘know’ and ‘know not’ which means the entire humanity’s future is at risk. People of Smile foundation have collaborated with Ericsson, to make Ericsson teaching centres accessible in small villages to help the students, who have dropped out of school due to financial problems. They teach these students free of cost so that their learning is not disrupted. I believe that we should also help students with financial problems during these difficult times. We should not give up hope and look at the brighter side of things. “We should care about each other, because the moment everyone stops caring about each other is the moment we lose humanity.”
- Kanishk Thamman, VII K The Night The night is the time, When it’s quiet and peaceful. There is no sunshine so, It's not at all bright. The jolly silver moon is giving a smile, The stars are shining their light. Shrink, blink, shine. The weather is brisk and bleak, Dark and gloomy. Little Charlie is tired now, Sleeping on the cosy bed. Dreaming about the night, Waiting for the next sunrise.
Around 1.3 billion students and youth across the planet are affected by school and university closures due to COVID-19. As COVID-19 continues to disrupt the school's education system, it is important to switch to an online mode of teaching and learning. COVID-19 has rewritten our lives and demands us to learn as fast as we can. For the online education to continue,

Changing the seasons And giving no reasons. The time soon goes Like a river that flows, It is a powerful tool To misuse is to be a fool. Tick, tock, tick, tock The sound of a clock It spends really fast, Forgetting about the past. Make sure to use it properly, Or get into a case of robbery.
- Tanvi Priyadarshini, VII F T-shirt –Life harder than human beings Who am I? I am a versatile garment of different colours, patterns, and designs. Everyone across genders and generations wear it. I am worn to beaches, parties and umm……. everywhere, I guess! People wear me when they are knackered. They always pair me with my best friend. SHORTS. Now that you know who I am, let us move on to the next segment of my so-called autobiography. How am I made? Step 1-My parents who are also widely known as cotton balls were put into a grin where usable cotton was mechanically separated from seeds and chaff. My parents always told me that this step was exceedingly difficult for them as they were getting separated from their friends……But I would always tell them to be happy. Step 2-Now these bales of cotton fibres are taken to a well facilitated area where they are carded, combed, and blended. This was a relief after the first step. It felt like someone was giving me a massage. I would exclaim, “OH! So, relieving!”.
Step 3-Now it is high time people realise that even I need a bath! So, I am treated with heat and highquality chemicals. What an experience! Step 4-It is time for a makeover! This process includes dyeing, bleaching, and printing. Now it is time for me to go through inspection for grey textile. Or maybe in simple terms, you can divide it into three stages: - preparation, coloration, and finishing. It is easier to understand now right? Step 5-This is the step I dread the most! Cutting and Sewing! This is much similar to a nightmare. We are cut and sewn into our shapes. Step 6-It is time for the design print. This is the step that urges you to buy those beautiful shirts that are stacked up at the store! Let us learn a new term right now. Screen Printing. Here, specific films are used to expose an image on the mesh screen that has a photo sensitive emulsion. Each screen is exposed on a vacuum sealed UV Light table. The screens are rinsed with water and the images are checked for accuracy. These screens are registered into a place on an automatic screen press that can print up to 900 t-shirts per hour! Isn’t it amazing? I am also one of these 900 t-shirts. Step 7- It is the final step! I am folded, sorted, and placed in branded shops! People come and buy me and my friends! I still remember the day Mr. Singh brought me to his house. Since that day I have been hanging on the hanger of his cupboard. Just living an ordinary life like all other t-shirts. Step 8- If you thought this is the end. No this is a new beginning. When I am worn and torn, I am used as a cleaning cloth at the houses till the time I am mutilated and then thrown to be recycled again or am laid to rest. I am a T-shirt, and this is my story. I can make people feel and look happy or sad as the case may be and also I have lived my life to the fullest as we all know. “Har Pal Yahaan Jee Bhar Jeeyo kya pata Kal Ho Na Ho”

Journey to USA 19th November 2020 was the day when my family and I had to fly to the United States of America, as my father was unable to travel back to India due to the current COVID-19 crisis. He was assisting the first responders, basically the frontline workers and the hospitals to get as many PPE kits (Personal Protective Equipment) as possible in the U.S. These 8 months were very tough for our family. My father went to the United States for business reasons, but he was stuck there which we did not expect at all. So, we reached the airport to board the Air India flight. The process to board the flight was exhausting. We had to board 3 flights to reach Las Vegas, the place where my father was staying in the USA. The journey was not so great as it was very suffocating due to the masks, face shields and the smell of the sanitizer in the flight. The first flight was for 2 hours which was manageable, but the second flight was for 15 hours. It was an uncomfortable journey and I felt scared. The Delhi Airport was crowded, and no one followed social distancing which was not good. The next flight from San Francisco to Las Vegas was for an hour and when we reached Las Vegas safely, I saw my father and was incredibly happy.
- Vrishank Sai Ramadurgam, VII C Who Gave the Magic? This story is about a girl, Jasmine, who used to love doing DIYS craft. She also believed in magic but she did not know any spells. One day she was sitting on her balcony and daydreaming about being a witch and all of a sudden, she saw 5-6 students flying in the sky. Out of them, a girl named Lavender, hit the balcony and broke her broomstick and she was very sad. Jasmine was very shocked and she muttered…Is magic real?? Lavender said, “Well it is! You see those people flying in the sky, it’s all magic! Jasmine was astonished, she thought that she was dreaming. Jasmine pinched herself and uttered “Ouch! It’s real …. She wished she had it too!! “You never know who has magic and
who does not have”, said Lavender. Lavender again looked at her broomstick which was broken and was disappointed. Since Jasmine was good at craft, she fixed the broom stick by taking an elastic out of an old pant. And then Jasmine asked her where she was going on that broomstick? Lavender said that she was going to Mathews, a magical school located on a mountain in London where magic was taught. “I wish I could also go to that school,” said Jasmine. Lavender told that she could accompany her after taking permission from her mother. They both went on one broomstick. They went dashing into the trees, making the clothes fall from the ropes and reached Mathews but not inside the building but they fell in a pond near Mathews. Principal Isabella looked at them and was pretty astonished! She said she will conduct entrance exams where they have to fly with a cat on a broomstick, they also have to do potion spell- test. Jasmine was very scared of the exams. They went in and there was a big queue to pick up a cat and a broomstick. Jasmine started praying to God. All of a sudden she and her cat started flying on the broomstick. She was surprised, she wanted to know if someone was helping her. But no one was there to answer her question as everyone was busy practicing. The next was the potion test. Jasmine believed in herself. A written test was also conducted, and Jasmine didn’t know most answers. After the exams she called father through magic. Her parents came and forcibly took her away from the magic school. She was sad. One day her parents told that they had a lot of trouble using magic. They had become a rock due to illegal use of magic. They had stolen magic from a fig potion and passed it to a friend. That friend started misusing it and converted school kids into toys and made the school building very small. Principal Kale helped them to become normal again. He did not help that friend who had also turned into a rock. Her stone statue is still in the St Joseph garden. First time in her life she was told that she also belonged to a family of magicians. She wanted to go to that school and she promised her parents that she will not use magic to harm others. They agreed to send her to that magic school. There was a magic mirror in each students’ room to interact with their parents. Jasmine was very happy to meet Lavender again . NEVER GIVE UP ON YOUR DREAMS!

Zero Hunger: Responsibility of today’s youth Hunger is a vicious cycle- poor nutrition stunts physical and mental development in children, which leads to chronic health problems in youth and keeps them out of school; this lack of education limits their ability to work as adults; poor health in women leads to undernourished future generation, starting the cycle again. Food is crucial for survival and it is not a luxury but a right. I am chagrined that there are millions of malnourished people in the world. The numbers are rising and if the trend continues, there will be more than 840 million malnourished people in the world by 2030. It is a global phenomenon, as even in the US, more than 35 million people are hungry. Governments should grow fiber-rich foods to provide proper nourishment to the people. Other key areas which should be focused upon areclimate-smart agriculture, timely response to forced migrations, empowering women in agriculture, proper management of natural resources, preparing for disasters like floods and famines well in advance and supporting hygiene. Families dealing with poverty need help in transitioning into a state of selfdependence. Proper education helps as it gives exposure to a better quality of life. The benefit of a smaller family allows parents to feed the children better. A social change needs to be brought upon wherein people in developed nations begin to care about the issues facing the poor and pressure their governments to help the poorer societies and countries. This is extremely hard and will not take place overnight. There is a lot of work happening today to help sustain the campaign on zero hunger. Big organizations are partnering with NGOs to organize Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities to provide free food to hundreds of undernourished children and to educate them. Humanitarian organizations are helping by effectively addressing the root causes. As a youth, I take it upon myself to create awareness and actively help in alleviating hunger. As Mother Teresa once said, “If you can’t
feed a hundred people, then feed just one.” One of the greatest feelings is knowing that we as individuals can make a difference. Simple things like building community apps for restaurants to provide the leftover food to the deprived, dedicating a day to serve food to the needy, donating our old mobile phones, gadgets to the poor and arranging free virtual classes for them will go a long way towards this end. We should actively participate in the activities of organizations like the United Nations World Food Program (WFP) and UNICEF. We should not let the Covid pandemic prevent us, as the deprived sections of the society need us more than ever. To conclude, to create a world with zero hunger, we must become more charitable. This is a tough goal to achieve, but we must start today, however small it may be, to change the world for the better.
- Abhisyant M Baruah, VII B Stand Up for Earth “To cherish our Earth and foster its renewal is our only hope.” It is exceedingly important to save and protect our dear planet Earth, for our survival and that of other creatures. I am pretty sure that you agree with me. Why should we protect the Earth? Well, is that even a question! You would not want to cut the branch you are sitting on! You would never want to destroy the body giving life to you! You would not want to dig the roots that give you the standing! That’s your answer. What is it that is destroying our Earth? It is us, we human beings are destroying the Earth as we desire every element of comfort. In the process of acquiring this comfort, we don’t realize but simultaneously destroy the Earth in a small way. But these small destructions add up all together at the end just like how many drops could make an ocean. How can we preserve our planet? I believe you already know that and have heard a lot about how to save the Earth. Some ways are afforestation, better waste management, water conservation and usage of sustainable sources of power. So, let’s together work for the betterment of our planet Earth and conserve and preserve it.

Awakening Every time I open my eyes, at midnight to see the stars rise. A whole new universe of feelings builds up in me, It’s the magic you can’t see. Wondering if stars feel the same about life, and if love and hope is what makes them alive. If they too hate being sad and lonely, and if happiness is what makes them shine so boldly. With all these wonders in mind and answers to find, I close my eyes, to find another miraculous surprise.
According to the researchers the gland probably lubricates and moisten the upper throat behind the nose and mouth. When researchers who investigate the side effects of radiations on the head and neck, where studying a new type of scan as part of their research work. They found two unexpected areas that lit up in the back of the nasopharynx. These areas looked like salivary glands. Until now there were three large salivary glands in humans: one under the tongue, one under the jaw and one at the back of the jaw, behind the cheek. Doctors use radiotherapy for treating cancers in the head and neck trying to avoid the main salivary gland as damaging them could make eating, speaking, or swallowing difficult in patients. However, in this case the newly discovered gland was getting hit by radiation as doctors were not knowing their existence in the human body. Thus, the newly discovered gland may result in fewer side effects of the treatment of cancer patients.

- Riddhi Vasisht, VIII K New Gland Found in the Human Body - 2020 In the medical breakthrough, research at the Netherlands cancer institute have discovered a set of salivary glands deep in the upper part of the throat and have named these as tubarial salivary glands. The new organ was found when scientists were studying prostate cancer cells using PSMA PET – CT technology – a combination of Ct scans and positron emission tomography (PET) – which is good in detecting salivary gland tissues . In this technique, a radioactive tracer is injected into the patient that binds to the protein PSMA, which is elevated in prostate cancer cells so far this nasopharynx region behind the nose was not through to host anything but microscopic, diffuse, salivary gland. The newly discovered glands are about 1.5 inches (3.9 cm) in length on average and are located over a piece of cartilage called the torus tubarius.

Do not move the same piece then once in the opening if you do not have a very good reason for it (such as material gains). Do not accept many pawn sacrifices during the opening, especially playing black. Otherwise, you can get a couple of extra pawns, but also get checkmated quickly because of your underdeveloped pieces. Remember, the main purpose of “opening” is to develop pieces quickly and efficiently. Developing the queen too early in the game is usually bad Occupy the center Attack in the middle game Expect your opponent’s moves
What can be the first MOVE? •
Start the first move playing 1. e4 or 1.d4 (1.c4 is for advanced positional players)

Digital platforms’ time has come to be on the show. The whole shooting match is reliant on digitalization. The only thing we can do right now is to be in quarantine and polish your knowhow. This time is the best one for this, though we’ve got this accidentally. Hope this virus is eliminated and the quantum leap in the world comes soon.

The Role of Students in Removing Illiteracy Illiteracy is still a major blot on India, after more than sixty years of its achieving independence. To an extent it exemplifies India’s failure to reach out to its masses. Although India produces the best doctors and engineers in the world, it still remains an educationally backward nation. Most of the people living in villages are illiterates. They can’t read or write. Economic backwardness, ignorance as well as lack of opportunities have deprived them of literacy and knowledge. The removal of illiteracy has to be tackled on a priority basis and students can play an important role in achieving this goal. Since they are in the process of receiving education themselves they are most appropriate for also putting forth their services to achieve the goal of educating the illiterate masses. In India youth is in majority so, we can make this positive change easily in India. Students should be encouraged to carry the lamp of knowledge by organizing events such as, ‘Each One, Teach One’. If every student resolves to teach two illiterate persons in a year during his vacations, it will in the long run help to eradicate illiteracy. We should be self-motivated not only to teach students in villages but also persuade poor people to take challenge of learning irrespective of any age to remove illiteracy which will eventually help them to raise their standard of living and awareness. The government should also render full support to students in terms of infrastructure in their contribution to the Indian Literacy Campaign. Students can also play a vital role in the program of Adult Literacy. If all our students get together and try to work towards achieving literacy among the masses, then the day is not far when India too will join the league of countries that have attained hundred percent literacy.
purity of human nature by conveying the message that a single act of kindness and compassion can create a chain reaction so powerful, that not even the famous chemical reaction of chlorination of ethane (in the presence of sunlight) can compare. Think of it this way- a single person, a single benevolent person can affect a million other people’s lives. How, may you ask? It’s simple- one person reaffirms the faith of another person, who in turn changes two other people, who in turn change four other people’s lives and so on. Powerful, isn’t it? This is exactly what Gandhiji believed in. His simplicity, philanthropy and his simple yet crucial ideologies were like an imperial bronze sword, thrust high in the face of adversity. His famous belief in ahimsa was an unconventional approach to war and pain. Yet this unconventional approach is not only valued today, but is also kept as a benchmark for future generations. Mankind has been through terrible ordeals such as war, desolation, famine, sickness and poverty. Acts of terrorism and racism shook 2020 and the pandemic ripped the world apart. It is crucial to adhere to the principles of ahimsa, but are we really following them? Have we not seen the monstrous act of Derek Chauvin kneeling on George Floyd’s neck for more than eight minutes, killing him? Millions of people face countless acts of violence every day, be it domestic violence, community violence, or even bullying. Needless to say, that despite being in awe of Gandhiji’s credos, mankind still has a lot to learn. We definitely value his principles, but we do not practice them. The path towards change is a long, twisted and winding road, but the end results of embarking on this journey will reap remarkable benefits. -Ashmita Kapur, XII-F

Importance Of Truth And Ahimsa In Today’s World “Be the change you wish to see in the world.” An extremely apt quote given by the renowned personality Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi reflects the current situation of the world extremely well, and conveys a very important message. It highlights the
Environmental Changes From An Artistic Viewpoint “It’s been a long day without you my friend, and I’ll tell you all about it when I see you again”- While we’re all cooped up at home singing along passionately to this nostalgic song and relishing the thought of an era devoid of COVID-19, rare
sightings of Mother Nature stretching her legs and leaping and bounding joyfully across her homeland have been hitting the headlines. It’s as though one bright winter’s day, on that rare day when the sun shyly peeks through the clouds after what seems like an endless slumber, Mother Nature in hiding, who had been looking out of the window, had put down her cup of coffee, rubbed her eyes in disbelief at the sight of the sun, had rushed outside and bounded across the lawn in joy and ecstasy and announced in a high-pitched voice, “I’m here, I’m finally outside!” It’s as if the roles have been reversed; humans, the gregarious species with not a minute to rest have been shoved into a haven of peace and quiet, and nature, Mother Nature, has finally been able to spend time with her children. Looking outside, the enthused poet in me cannot help but marvel at the sudden changes that have taken place. It is a wonderful sight to view as a spectator the beauty of the bare world and marvel at God’s stunning eye for detail; the landscape appears as though an experienced painter has, with an expert stroke of his paintbrush, splashed a spectrum of colour across a canvas, and that canvas has shone for ages, for lifetimes and for eras. The colours are as lustrous as jewels; the azure sky shines as bright as sapphires, the lush green lawns glint as bright as emeralds, the flowers shine like rubies, citrines and amethysts. Although the lockdown has lifted some strain on the environment, a lot of damage has already been inflicted. Over the years, pollution, dust, dirt and smoke held together with negligence of humans have gradually dulled the gemstones- they’ve lost their glow, and a coat of dust has settled on them. The canvas has been torn apart and scattered in pieces, lost in the dry wind that monotonously blows across the terrain. Cue COVID-19 and the pieces have stumbled back together and formed a picture, but not quite, as the permanent tear lines stay as a reminder of the wreckage that has been inflicted upon them. With humans locked up at home, the painter takes out his cloth, rubs the canvas till the jewels sparkle and stands back to admire his work- cue the present canvas, the present environment around us.
The birds chirrup merrily, the crickets and insects buzz steadily, and it is quiet and peaceful and calm. The roads are empty, and the misty early morning air
is devoid of smoke and pollution. The hustle-bustle of everyday life has slowed down, families have been brought together and relationships have soared. Old friends reminisce over college and school days in Zoom meetings, crack the same jokes and take part in friendly banter as though nothing has changed. Old friends are reconnected with, and new friends are made. With plenty of time on our hands, we have been moulded and shaped by the changing world around us which has given us plenty of time to reflect, relax and rejuvenate. It is a change, and a massive change at that, which would not have taken place had we been more careful about our choices. It is prudent to build a stable structure, and a safe environment with opportunities for all, regardless of gender, identity, race, caste and religion. With the cloudy sky visible without any haze or smoke, finding a silver lining in the clouds could prove to be an easy task; with new dawn around the corner hopeful of change and growth and the fate of the world in our hands, it is never a better time to say this - “the world is not ‘your’, but ‘OUR’ oyster.”

My trip to the Land of Goodies One fine day, In the month of May; I left my house, Accompanied by my pet white mouse; As I continued my long and adventurous walk A golden path gleamed before me; I continued to follow the path of golden chalk, Farther was the destiny as I could see. As I drew more and more near, My curiosity grew about what lies there; When I reached the wonderful place, I couldn’t believe my eyes. There were chocolate cakes And apple pies. -Aayan Hasan, IX-B
Jade Jade was tired. She had spent years working on her latest project: the world’s first sentient robot, in secret. She was a reclusive scientist who couldn’t be around people. Therefore she spent her days in her house in San Jose, rarely stepping out. To repel the solitude, she started creating a friendly robot. That night a final piece had gone into place. ‘Oh my god. I’ve finally done it.’ She whooped; wiping sweat off her brow. ‘Now, all it needs is charging. I’ll check on it tomorrow.’ She decided and went to sleep. The next morning a scream ensued from Jade. Her precious robot, Whirly, was missing and in his place was a note that read ‘Dearest Jade. Thank you for giving me life. I’ve decided that the best way to repay you is to save lives on my own. Yours truly, Whirly.’ She clawed at her throat in agony. ‘All my years’ work’ she cried, her head spinning. She stayed like that for a while, drowning in her misery, then decided to go look for Whirly. First, she checked the news for any disasters near her. It was currently portraying the news of a flood happening in Chicago. ‘The rain had been going on for three days now. When we were starting to lose hope, a miraculous robot came through the sky and evacuated everyone.’ Jade gasped. ‘I need to get there right now.’ Jade hopped onto the closest Chicago plane and was there within a few hours. ‘There he is!’ she cried when she spotted Whirly talking to some survivors. Jade marched up to him. ‘And what do you think you’re doing, mister?’ she demanded. Whirly looked up and smiled. ‘Hello. You must be Jade. I’m pleased to meet you’ ‘You’d better be pleased. Now let’s go home.’ She said. ‘But I’m needed here’ he said mildly. ‘The only place you’re needed is home’ she asserted. ‘Please let me stay here. I’ll come home when I’m done’ he asked. After lots of persuasion, Jade huffily agreed. They began helping people trapped in the flood, though Jade was extremely reluctant at first . ‘The faster we finish, the faster we get home’ Whirly kept reminding her. When they were on breaks Whirly taught her proper etiquette while interacting with people, liking extending a hand while greeting, to not cut people with her words, to not harrumph at others , the basics.
Once, when Jade was talking to a small girl and calming her, she felt a strange warmth in her heart, mingled with concern for the survivors. She didn’t recognize the feeling, though and ignored it. But it appeared more frequently after that, and she soon associated it with the feeling she got when her inventions went right. ‘What is happening to me?’ she wondered and smiled to herself. Once Whirly caught her and offered a smile of his own. ‘Looks like someone is enjoying herself’ he said. Once, she would have reddened and snapped, but she surprised herself. ‘I’m beginning to feel love and happiness and worry and concern, Whirly. I’ve never felt this way before. I didn’t even know if I had it in me’ she admitted. Whirly sat down next to her. ‘When you created my personality chip, where do you think my awesome personality came from? It was in you all this time. I always knew that you had it in you’ he said gently. Jade felt ecstatic. She was a new person. Whirly opened his mouth but stiffened. He opened his hand and a news report was projected holographically. ‘Alan Rickman has struck again, this time by bombing Chicago’s aqua wave building.’ The reporter was saying. ‘ Most people have escaped, but few are still trapped inside and no one is daring to rescue them’. At that Whirly jumped up. ‘NO’ Jade said before he could utter a word. ‘Don’t you dare’. But Whirly had a determined stance. ‘I’m sorry, Jade. I don’t care if you dismantle me after this, but I have to rescue them’ he said and lithely jumped from roof to roof. Jade almost screamed, but ran after him. Panting, she finally reached the building. Whirly was climbing the wall and rescuing people on the way. ‘Fast’ Jade whispered. Whirly at last rescued the last person and shooed him out. He smiled victoriously at Jade. Jade smiled back. He was about to walk out when another Alan dropped another bomb. Everyone shielded their eyes. ‘That’s your lesson for now’ he announced and flew away on his copter. Jade screamed and ran into the building. She rummaged through the rubble furiously. She gave a little gasp and, with trembling hands, picked up an utterly destroyed personality chip. Jade held the chip to her forehead and cried as though her heart would break. -Malavika, IX-G
LOCKDOWN
More time to spend with our family
Sitting at our home all alone
Time to follow our hobbies leisurely
Talking to our friends on the phone Everyday has become a Sunday
So, let’s stay home
We are all yearning for the Monday
Do not moan
We are in the lockdown
Let the earth heal from the pollution
The whole city seems to be lown
Till then let’s find for a better solution Cause a healthy environment
Quiet all around
Is an actual present.
Not a single person to be found There are no more traffic jams
-Sachet Bhat, IX-O
"Tomorrow never comes " No more trains or trams No more crowded street No more bustling of feet The streets are so empty
What beholds us the very next moment is a probability, what has passed is unchangeable, the only instant to create is a cogent word "NOW". Indeed, easy to pronounce but difficult to accept. Everything is momentary, everything around is transient, nothing is fleeting never.
Oh, what a pity!! But every cloud has a silver lining We can see the pollution declining The world is cooling And global warming’s soothing
Each minute is precious, once lost it can be revived by nobody. Every glimpse will one fine day become a bead of memory interwoven in our minds and will be treasured forever. we all are rest assured that renascence of time is impossible.
Tigers, lions and deer are roaming free Monkeys and birds are on the tree Plants and bushes are growing
What we have is " Now ", what we can conquer is " Now “, what we rectify is the only word " Now". Now may be a three-letter word but immensely difficult to avail in the realistic world.
Rivers are freely flowing The earth is rejuvenating From the smokes that are obnubilating You can see a school of dolphins Coming back to the surface to rinse Technology is advancing in every way
Once wasted everything shatters and seems black. If you wish to vanquish failure start "Now " nothing can replace this frail word " Now ". To go ahead begin now. To cross the sea, foresee now. To fly in the blue yonder set your wings now.

Maps
The Masquerade
Learning to let go’s not easy Maybe it’s all part of a plan; Is there a truth? Is there a consequence, or a cost? Or does it lead to a rocky terrain, where everyone’s lost?
The doors open and the music surrounds, Enter men with bowties and ladies with gowns. The colors and lights being dazzling And now the masquerade is beginning. Ladies and gentlemen swivel and turn,
If I had a map, I would take the starry highways and the flowery lands;
Children trip and wobble as they still learn. The night went on in all its beauty,
Build a wooden alcove where the sunset is strong and the sunrise smiles;
Time being its only formidable enemy.
Amidst the rocky terrain, my heart would lie in my hands,
Gowns and silhouettes engulfed the place,
Soul-deep in a fresh white page that is yet to be conquered.
Now the room seemed to be a confusing maze. Who were among these strangers? Masked faces hiding some danger?
Should my pen colour the page from the beginning of the story,
The mask hides a friend who is true friend,
where all that’s been hurt still rages like cold ice? Or should it start afresh,
The mask hides an enemy who waits for your friend.
With golden-yellow dreams?
The mask itches, but why leave it behind? The mask hides the truth, it makes people blind.
Maybe being lost is a blessing in disguise;
Everyone wants to wear the perfect mask,
Or maybe it’s a haven where you find
Showing an outward smile is the day’s ultimate task.
A new road imprinted with white arrows of a different kind; But you know that when you find
Time passes, the night is over, and the masquerade is done, The dawn of truth has begun.
that perfect alcove, It’s where you leave your old story far, far behind.
People wished that the night would prolong, With the dance and music and melodious song But the party was over, the crowd was gone

Furiosity With blood and chaos, The world is besieged, With the wrath of humanity, Upon us, unleashed. I'd rather die, Than live to see such ferity, In a world where kindness, Is nothing but a rarity. Dark, grey clouds, Smouldered deep red, Disfigure the once-free skies, Filling the atmosphere with cold dread. How I long, To see the world run in peace, But alone I cannot fix, The world, piece by piece. With furiosity, I depart, For the world inspires my words, But can the world not once, Be inspired by my words? -Kashvi Dikshit, X-F
Little Things I was told to write About my happy place All while I was stuck In a disturbed headspace Time and time I told them That I could write all but this While I failed to notice The beauty outside my abyss
Golden rays at sunset Which paint the heavenly skies Daub a myriad of pink hues That stain the tall skyrises The grey skies that follow With a light sprinkle of rain The smell of petrichor evident The water washing away the pain Long drives on country roads Destination afar Songs that play on the radio A gentle strumming of the guitar The strings of the guitar That my fingertips brush against Strike a chord within me so deep A passion all-consuming and intense I close my eyes and sing along My voice a powerhouse of emotion Time freezes till my voice breaks Life around me defying motion Sheaves of paper lay around me Scribbled down is the poetry of my mind All my thoughts and emotions In the form of art you will find Books of all kinds That line my endless shelves Transport me to a state of elysium They're worlds complete in themselves My footsteps that linger In the remnants of an unfinished dance While I toil in sweat till perfection Each step bound to hold you entranced Sunlight filters through my curtains Dancing spotlights formed by the rays
The smell of the freshly brewed coffee That I wake up to on Sundays Waking up in the early hours To catch a morning flight To destinations abroad Overjoyed to see new sights Nineteenth century museums That bring history to life Cobbled streets and sloped roof houses A pleasant break from city life Mountains and seas Behold sights in galore Old monuments that stand As remnants of ancient war Hours spent talking To the moon and the starlit night Snapped out of a reverie By the following daylight The way that people smile Talking to the ones that they love As they talk about their life Myriads of stories unheard of I find joy in little things A happiness that is pure Although ephemeral Somehow an omnipresent cure The beauty in little things Is what I always failed to remember Although there will exist dark times These little things will last forever. -Kashvi Dikshit, X-F
Gratitude Several months fleeted by Within walls we remain confined Isolated, torn apart My sole companion my mind If these walls could talk Perhaps I wouldn't feel so alone Alas, I must not cower, Rather, face this on my own And so with a smile As a weapon of choice In the littlest things I begin to rejoice Out of necessity Rose a virtue One that would change My entire worldview Freed of toxicity The rise of a new earth Gives the human race A chance at rebirth Bogged up in work Days spent in monotone Friends taken for granted Sole friend a cellphone Those days are far gone We're left with wisps of memories Wisps that we grasp on to In an attempt to forever revel in reveries Now we have no choice But to be bogged down in our work Days spent in monotone Friends stuck in the web of social network
All is but the same Yet somehow worse Not much different Yet somehow inverse Alas, you see There lies a difference so vast One that makes us wish That we'd made a difference in our past We often fail to realise What we have until it's gone And all of our lives fleet by As on the past we dwell on Alas what use is a life Where nothing is valued We shall remain but confined Till we learn of gratitude. -Kashvi Dikshit, X-F
How I Always Fell In Love with My Roots On a hot scorching summer morning, the Kannur express hissed and screeched to a big halt. As I stepped out of the train, I felt the moist and humid air blowing against my face which made me feel the humidity at the station. I like travelling by train as it allows us to get a view of the greenery. Getting an auto here is not a big deal. The best part of coming to Kerala is to travel in an auto. It’s my favourite part of the trip. I prefer travelling in an auto rather than a taxi because of the abundant air gushing inside and making me feel closer to nature. I love to discover the breeze, coconut trees swaying elegantly and the tiny rain droplets falling on my face to give me a cool feeling. The green paddy fields, the tall coconut trees, the wonderfully small built houses and the green ponds with pretty water lilies has always left me mesmerized and astonished about how beautiful is this God’s own country, Kerala!
As the auto approached the first turn, I was eagerly waiting to see my cousins, grandmother and my aunts. As expected, everyone was waiting to greet us. This vacation I am here to watch a very popular ritual form of dance worship, 'Theyyam'. The previous vacation, I witnessed the five-day grand and extravagant show put in the region celebrated during the festival Vishu.Vishu is the festival in Kerala celebrated to mark the beginning of a new year. I have been watching Theyyam for a long time but it was my first time watching 'Makkam'. Makkam was a heroine of a tragic story which is depicted through Theyyam. The next day early morning at 4:00 am, we set off to watch Makkam. The dense crowd was very evident, making me wonder where we would put up ourselves. That's when my aunt got a spot for us, it wasn't comfortable at all, but that was good enough to watch. The Theyyam had entered and there was an observed silence with only the ringing anklets of the Theyyam. The vibrant red attire with very well blended colours on the face was truly a unique sight. Soon the story of Makkam began to be depicted. I understood only a part of it but I felt that was very impressive. The Nomadic shops outside the temple which shifts after every festive season to a different place is my weakness. Usually after the Theyyam, my cousins and I sneak into these shops. Ranging from ornaments, jewellery to snacks, there were many other things. I always wondered how the vendors accommodated so many items in the temporarily built shop having a tarpaulin stretched on the top. After all that window shopping, we decided to return home, not by a car or an auto but the same way we commuted to reach here. That’s by walking. We could enjoy the morning beauty and after that onekilometre walk, I was pleased just to see “Idiyappam” and Curry, a delicious and traditional Kerala breakfast.Another habit I made each time I went to my native is to visit shops with my cousins and get the essential items for the household and get chocolates if there is any balance amount. These are not the tall city super markets which we see in the urban. These shops are small and take up very little area. They have limited items but good enough for a household. The items are very well arranged. Surprisingly, the shopkeeper is very proud of his new tiles paved in the shop. He expects us to remove our
sandals and then step in! Usually on our way back, we collect “Manjadi Kuru” or The Lucky Red Seeds. They are small, but they have one of the brightest shades of red I have ever seen. The mornings are usually welcomed with plenty of sunlight and a natural alarm noised by a rooster.The atmosphere is filled with a smoky smell of burning firewood. During the midday there is a peaceful silence observed which I like to witness from the balcony. I still remember that late summer evening when we were getting ready for the return journey to Bangalore. While boarding the train, I felt that I am taking together so many memorable incidents which are unforgettable. As the train pulled out, I felt that I was moving farther from my roots every minute. That is when I really thought, how I always fell in love with my roots!
TRUTH I smile at the beautiful trees I smile at the wonderful world I smile at the graceful people I smile at it all.
Suddenly there is a flash And for a moment all is dark I am not fazed and keep smiling But now, it is brittle.
The world flashes dark and I see The pointed, dark and horrific truth The sharp towers, the dead trees They seem menacing, but real.
- Archa, IX-M
Sorrow I am sorrow, When I come depression befalls, I make your memories hollow, Once I enter, seclusion calls, Seclusion from everyone, And now in your world, you’re the only one; I get your mind ready for a mess, And make you feel worthless; I make your goals unclear, Now you can only hear the scary voices of fear, On extreme occasions you will feel your death near; Never call me on invitation In your home Else very soon you will be waiting for your cremation In a gloomy dome; I would be the last one to be expected, If you want a foe, As for the mentioned reasons which you have just read, I am sorrow. Sorrow -Aayan Hasan, IX-B
I am scared, but not surprised I have seen this before It amazes me how People can be so ignorant. Then the light comes back And all is beautiful I am not fooled But then, why do I keep smiling?
I smile at the dead trees I smile at the dark world I smile at the cruel people For it is the truth, of it all.

Astronomy in ancient and medieval India
I wander past the searching eyes
All too often in the modern world, we forget the tremendous contribution that India has made to the world for millennia in the field of science. Many concepts from ancient and medieval India were borrowed by the Islamic and European travellers who visited India and many others were independently discovered by them centuries after Indian scientists had. Many of the concepts that took the west decades to derive and fully understand were common knowledge in ancient India. Had some of the ancient Indian texts spread throughout the world a little earlier, the advancement in science and technology that we have today could be achieved much earlier. However, India soon decelerated with the disestablishment of traditional Indian schools during the British Raj which had played a major role in this scientific advancement. In this article, I have highlighted only some of the achievements of ancient and medieval Indian scientists in the field of astronomy, the study of everything in this universe.
“Are they looking at me?” I wonder And as they turn demeaning and cruel Yet I wander, slow and steady. I wander past, the idle words “Do they talk of me?” I wonder And as they turn slandering and heartless Yet I wander, slow and steady.
I wander past the written words “Are they written of me?” I wonder And as they turn mean and cold Yet I wander, slow and steady.
I wander and wander, with but a smile Past the cruel eyes, the slandering words And the mean text And my smile crumbles, yet still I smile. I wander, and the rain falls Held back, so long, by a force of will And I look up, and the salty rain Splashes on my face. And the rain clears, as fast as it came And the green empty valley stretches I feel a laugh on my lip And I run, free at last.

The Vedanga Jyotisya, dated to 1200 BCE, centuries before the earliest Babylonian and Greek astronomical texts gives the length of a sidereal day (the length of a day on earth with respect to the stars) as 23 hours 56 minutes 4 seconds, while the modern value is 23 hours 56 min 4.091 seconds. Many temples that were constructed around this time including the famous Sharada temple at Sringeri in Karnataka included complex astronomical instruments to track the position of the sun in the sky that are functional and survive to this day. The Surya Siddhanta, an ancient Indian text dated to 3rd century CE composed by an unknown author, mentions the length of the sidereal year (now defined as the time it takes for the earth to complete one revolution around the sun) as 365.2588 days, which is a mere 3.5 minutes longer than the accepted modern value! Aryabhata (Late 4th century CE) gave the revolution period of the planets around the sun quite accurately in his Aryabhatiya. This shows that he believed in a model of the solar system similar to what was to become the Tychonic and the Copernican models which evolved in Europe only in the 15th century CE. His works and the calculations in Aryabhatiya which were composed 11 centuries before Kepler (the law of ellipses is credited to him) are based on elliptical orbits for the planets.
Bhaskara II's work on differential calculus, contained in his Lilavati, predates Newton's and Leibniz's work by half a millennium. His work was further developed by Kerala’s mathematicians and astronomers including Madhava and Nilakantha Somayaji. This led to the composition of the Yuktibhasa, acknowledged as one of the earliest complete treatises on calculus, predating Newton's and Leibniz’s work by a century. However, it failed to gain international recognition back then due to it being in the local language of Malayalam. Historians now believe that some of these texts might have been transmitted to Europe as Kerala was in continuous contact with Europe during the 16th century. They are also exploring the possibility of Newton’s immediate predecessors, Fermat and Roberval gaining from Indian works. In his Tantrasangraha (1501 CE), Nilakantha Somayaji revised Aryabhata's model for the planets, Mercury and Venus. His calculation of the equation of the center (the angular difference between the actual position of the planet considering elliptical orbits and the position if its orbit was circular) for these planets remained the most accurate for a century, until the time of Johannes Kepler. All of this had happened in India even before the west believed that the earth was round! (Ferdinand Magellan’s famous voyage was completed only in 1522.) Another interesting aspect that we must note is that all of these works were written in the form of shlokas or verses by the use of rhyming words! Some were also composed in a kind of a code language- The Katapayadi system. On the outside, they looked like verses in the praise of various deities, but when the verse was decoded using the Katapayadi system, it gave many useful values for calculation including the value of the speed of light, the value of pi up to 32 decimal places and many others. Not only in the field of Astro-mathematics, but India had also taken giant leaps in the field of observational astronomy. The world's first seamless celestial sphere (used by astronomers to show the apparent positions of stars in the sky) was also built in India in the late 1500s. Before it was rediscovered in 1980, modern metallurgists believed making such a celestial sphere was impossible. Later, Sawai Raja Jai Singh of Jaipur also commissioned five astronomical observatories in the early 18th century.
Many of these observatories have amazingly accurate instruments for the measurement of the positions of objects in the sky and are functional to this day.
However, Indians are not acknowledged as the discoverers for many of these theories due to a variety of reasons. The non-existence of fast communication between ancient India and Europe, the language barrier, the disinterest of the new generations to investigate ancient texts, and the inability of palm leaf manuscripts to survive the test of time (including the destruction of large libraries by Islamic and European invaders) have all contributed to the non-recognition of Indian advancement in science. Sadly, many of us fail to investigate and get to know about our rich history in science are completely ignorant of our its gloriousness. Reading our ancient texts will not only let us appreciate our historical advancement and be proud of our Incredible India, but will also help us gain a new perspective into many of the ‘modern’ concepts which are contained in them and probably even give us easier and more logical explanations to these concepts

La Nuit Il fait encore la nuit! Les enfants ont la peur puis. Parce qu'il fait sombre, Pendant la nuit de décembre. Il fait aussi froid, Même avec une couverture. Mais personne ne les croit, Comme s'ils conduisaient une voiture. La lune brillante essaie d'éclairer la nuit, Mais peut faire très peu. La nuit réveille les souris, Les enfants ont alors peur Quand la nuit se finit, Les enfants se lèvent pour saluer le matin. Le matin est ce qu'ils choisissent, Courez pour jouer dans le jardin! - Ananya Chakraborty, VII O

Artikel über das Corona-Virus (COVID-19) Das Corona-Virus (oder COVID-19) wurde erstmals in Wuhan (China) entdeckt. Seitdem hat sich COVID auf der ganzen Welt verbreitet und unser Leben drastisch verändert. Es hat die Wirtschaft getroffen und uns gezwungen, das Leben zu verändern. Obwohl das Virus im Dezember 2019 begann, Menschen zu infizieren, wurde angenommen, dass es bis Februar unter Kontrolle war, bevor das Virus Italien und Europa als Hotspots nutzte, um den Rest der Welt zu infizieren. Als sich diese Pandemie weiter ausbreitete, traf sie die Wirtschaft. Länder wie die USA verzeichneten im ersten Quartal einen BIP-Verlust von 4,8% (Bruttoinlandsprodukt). Dies sind die schlechtesten Zahlen seit der Weltwirtschaftskrise 2008-2009. In anderen Ländern wie die Indien wird das BIP in diesem Jahr voraussichtlich um massive 3,8% sinken. Alle Menschen im Arbeitssektor wurden von Tagelöhnern bis zu reichen Geschäftsleuten getroffen. Aufgrund eines wirtschaftlichen Erfolgs gab es viele Stellen- und Gehaltskürzungen.
Diese Pandemie hat uns auf unterschiedliche Weise getroffen, aber wir sollten niemals den Anblick besserer Tage vergessen. Mit dem jetzt entdeckten Impfstoff ist es nur eine Frage der Zeit, bis sich weniger Infektionen und ein normales Leben wieder normalisieren. Selbst wenn der Impfstoff entdeckt wurde, müssen wir die Regeln befolgen, die die Regierung uns auferlegt hat, wie das Tragen von Masken und die Desinfektion von Dingen, die das Virus enthalten könnten. Wie das Sprichwort sagt: "Nach dem Strom kommt die Ruhe", wenn wir diese Pandemie ausreiten können, werden sicherlich bessere Tage kommen. -

Mein Zimmer Hallo! Ich bin Niharika Godse. Ich liebe mein Zimmer sehr. Mein Zimmer ist sehr nützlich und gemütlich. Es ist auch nicht groß, es ist klein. Es hat einen Tisch, zwei Stühle, einen Ventilator, einen Schrank und mein Bett. Mein Schrank hat einen Spiegel und mein Tisch ist sehr praktisch. Manchmal, wenn ich früh aufstehe, kann ich den schönen Sonnenaufgang von meinem Fenster aus sehen. Das Sonnenlicht macht mein Zimmer tagsüber hell. Ich liebe es hier zu sein.
Abgesehen davon gab es auch verschiedene Entwicklungen in verschiedenen Bereichen wie Bildung, Medizin und vielen anderen Bereichen wie Fernarbeit. Das Bildungsfeld ist enorm gereift und hat den Bedürfnissen vieler Schüler und Lehrer gerecht. Remote Learning war eine solche Funktion, und das Ablegen von Online-Prüfungen war ein weiterer großartiger Schritt, den die Regierung und Schulen auf der ganzen Welt unternommen haben. Die medizinischen Wissenschaften wurden von ihren jeweiligen Regierungen stark belastet, um einen wirksamen Impfstoff zu entwickeln, und hatten gleichzeitig keine Nebenwirkungen bei Patienten mit Komplikationen. Alle Länder und medizinischen Unternehmen wurden von COVID herausgefordert. So schlecht die Pandemie auch ist, wir können das Virus dennoch vermeiden. Wie; Durch das Tragen einer Maske, die Aufrechterhaltung der sozialen Distanz, das Ausgehen, es sei denn, dies ist notwendig, kein Händeschütteln, Hände regelmäßig mit Seife waschen und vermeiden, an überfüllte Orte zu gehen.

Japan’s Education The Japanese school system primarily consists of six-year elementary schools, three-year junior high schools and three-year high schools, followed by two-or-three-year junior colleges or four-year colleges. Compulsory education lasts for 9 years through elementary and junior high school. For physically or mentally challenged students, there is a system called to support special students to develop their self-reliance and thus enhance their social participation. Generally, public schools in Japan have classes five days a week, from Monday to Friday. In junior high and high schools, there are six class periods each day, typically lasting 50 minutes for each. After classes, students clean the classrooms in shifts and then start their club activities. There are a variety of clubs such as cultural and sports ones. An Example of School Timetable
The school year begins in April and ends in March of the following year. Most schools adopt a threesemester system, with the first semester from April to August, the second semester from September to December, and the third semester from January to March. There is also a summer break (from the end of July to the end of August), a winter break (from the end of December to the beginning of January), and a spring break (from the end of March to the beginning of April). Student clubs are a characteristic part of Japan’s school education. There are also numerous student clubs revolving around Japanese traditional sports and culture, such as judo, kendo(Japanese swordsmanship), sado (Japanese tea ceremony), kado (Japanese flower arrangement), shodo (Japanese calligraphy), etc. Club activities also
provide students with the chance to participate in school exchange and friendly matches. Sports Clubs

Although Japan is known to have one of the best education systems, it still lacks a few key elements. Having a high level of education, such as a college diploma or a university degree, is critical for Japanese students since education directly affects their future career and a university’s name value determines students’ future employment prospects. As a result, the competition to enter prestigious universities is extremely severe and creates many negative effects on Japanese high school students. Three of the major problems are student’s lack of creativity, lack of freedom, and lack of future vision First, the Japanese educational system does not encourage creativity among students. In Japan, university entrance does not depend on the students’ performance in high school; that is, only the results of the entrance examinations determine whether or not students can enter a university. This leads to an over-emphasis on memorization in the high school curriculum. Due to this, they hardly spend time on other activities such as class discussions, presentations, or experiments, which are also supposed to be part of their education. For example, class discussions and presentations help students learn to explore and express their opinions in public, and experiments require keen observation and analysis, which train students to think analytically. By removing all of these other
important activities, the Japanese educational system prevents students from developing creativity. Second, students do not have much freedom. One reason is the number of assignments and examinations in high schools. The third year of high school (equivalent to grade 12 in Canada) is the most typical. Students have at least one exam every week, so they hardly have any weekends off. They spend almost all their holidays such as summer holidays taking supplementary classes. The second reason is class size. Japanese high schools usually have fairly large class sizes with approximately 4045 students in one class sharing one teacher (Johnson and Johnson). Such class sizes are too large for the teacher to pay attention to each student, so some students cannot get the help what they need. In fact, 60% of Japanese high school students attended juku (private schools) in 1993 (“The Japanese Education”). These two factors cause students to have hardly any free time to balance their life. Finally, the Japanese educational system creates a lack of future vision among students. One of the main reasons is pressure from teachers. For each high school, the percentage of students entering university, especially prestigious ones, directly influences the school’s reputation. The more students go to decent universities, the better image the high school will enjoy. Therefore, more students will apply to high school. As a result, teachers are usually very eager to push students to aim for prestigious universities rather than focuses on their career goals. These pressures from teachers make students unable to develop a clear vision of their future. In brief, the Japanese educational system prevents students from developing creativity, enjoying free time, and maintaining a clear future vision. -Ushashi Roy, VII F
にほん の たべもの (Japanese Food)
What comes first to your mind when you think of Japanese food? Sushi? Sushi may be a well-known delicacy, but in the extensive variety of foods in Japan, you will find many more amazing and elegant dishes all across the country. Typically, a Japanese home-cooked meal consists of rice, miso soup and some type of meat or vegetable, as you may have seen in some kid-based anime such as Shinhan or Doraemon. Going to a restaurant in Japan, you will see lockers for your shoes, as shoes are usually not put on while eating to feel more comfortable. Now for ordering there will be numerous options to pick from but for basics, you can pick something you have heard of before, like Ramen. Ramen is Japanese Noodle soup; the noodles are made of Chinese wheat and are served in a meat or fish-based broth often covered in soy sauce or miso soup and meat such as pork or scallions are used as toppings. Nearly every region in Japan has its own style of Ramen. In Japan, you will also find a place with a revolving counter where sushi comes and goes, called “kaiten-zushi” which means “Conveyer belt”. It is more of a local food place which not only serves sushi but a different type of raw fish such as sashimi.
Coming to a sweeter side, there is also a very unique type of deserts found in Japan. Mochi, commonly served as a sweet dish, is a rice cake made of “mochigome”, a short-grain from the tree of japonica and other ingredients such as cornstarch, water and sugar. The rice is pounded into paste and moulded into the desired shape.
Mochi ice cream is also served with mochi and an ice cream filling! It is generally eaten near the end of Japanese New Year. You may have also heard of the famous Dora-Cake from Doraemon, generally known as Dorayaki in Japan. Dorayaki is a type of red bean pancake, which consists of 2 pancake-like patties made from castella is wrapped around a filling of sweet azuki bean paste. School students or people going to the office usually carry a bento(lunchbox) which usually consist of rice, vegetables, meat, a fruit, pickle and some salad. It is a single-portion-take-out or homepacked meal. Snacks in Japan are very distinctive and should be tried. Senbei, Japanese rice crackers, Pocky, chocolate-covered breadsticks, Meji, chocolate covered almonds and okonomiyaki, a savoury pancake made of wheat-flour batter are many snacks which are favoured all over japan. There are countless amazing foods of japan I could name but unfortunately, they would not fit, I hope one day you will try all these dishes and like them, thank you for reading!

associated with Shinto belief. It is believed that some ancient sumo matches were purely religious events with predetermined outcomes as an offering to kami, with some matches regarded as divination - e.g. if a well-liked fisherman competed and won, a good catch was predicted for the year. Sports in Japan After The Meiji Restoration: After the Meiji Restoration, various kinds of Western sports were introduced into Japan. Playing sports was adopted as a school activity and matches between universities became popular. During the 1870s, track and field events, baseball, football, rugby union, cricket and ice skating were introduced. In 1911, an Austrian gave skiing instruction to the Japanese army. In those days, Western sports were played by a few people, but through the educational system, they spread throughout the country. Western sports were initially stressed as a form of mental discipline, but the Japanese have now come to enjoy them as recreational activities. There were also some minor sports like table tennis and fencing. They are not national sports but are also mildly popular. Baseball and professional wrestling were staples of early television,
Sports Culture in Japan Sports in Japan is a significant part of Japanese culture. Japan is considered a very sporty country and even has adapted to American sports, such as baseball and football. Sumo wrestling is considered Japan's national sport. Baseball was introduced to the country by visiting Americans in the 19th century. The Nippon Professional Baseball league is Japan's largest professional sports competition in terms of television ratings and spectators. Martial arts such as judo, karate and modern kendō are also widely practised and enjoyed by spectators in the country. Sumo History: Sumo shows an important side of traditional Japanese sport, a religious occasion as well as a sporting event. Many sumo rituals are closely
and boxing and sumo were aired periodically. Judo has been recognized as an official event in the Olympic Games since the 1964 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. It is also one of the four main forms of amateur competitive wrestling practised internationally today. In 2021, Japan will host the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, due to the delay due to the COVID-19 pandemic. -

Special indeed is the quality to observe, perceive and acquire every speck of emotion and energy encircling oneself and channel it into something positive, merry and mesmerizing, an attribute only apt to describe a child and metaphorically, a light pillar. The two delicate wonders are gifted with the prowess to illuminate a world of darkness.

To make our little one's special day memorable we at kindergarten organized virtual Birthday Party. Birthday children were surprised to see their photos displayed on screen with a yummy cake and birthday wishes. Their friends along with teachers wished and had fun at the birthday event. Teachers arranged various games, among all ‘Simon Says’ was their favorite. The moment that really got the kids going was when their favourite songs were played. Kids had fun while creating a sweet memory together. An Ecard was mailed to their parents Mail ID to make the celebration more personalized and to make them feel important and special.
Talk Show “Talk Show” are the perfect platform for our little ones to start expressing about their thoughts, ideas and emotions. Such kind of opportunities encourage children to build their confidence and skill set. Our kindergarteners participated in many Talk Shows regularly which were virtually organised throughout the year on the occasion of various celebrations and festivals which helped children to improve their public speaking skills and expand their vocabulary. We noticed immense positive changes in all the children as they become confident orators with enhanced creative thinking abilities, wide imaginative personas to share their brilliant ideas flawlessly. Only children believe they’re capable of everything.
We might be apart today, but children you are always in our heart.

“Doing easily what others find difficult is talent, doing what is impossible with talent is genius.”
“If you want your child to be smart tell them stories. If you want them to be brilliant tell them more stories.” -Albert Einstein
Story Telling Story Telling helps bond better with kids and it is the oldest mode of teaching. As it is proved and liked by all, kids simply fall in love with the age-
old tradition of Story Telling. With the same note, we at DPS kindergarten adopted the approach to kick start the session this year with a series of stories. Every day teachers had a beautiful session with the children narrating lovely stories along with alluring props. Children used to look forward to the session with great enthusiasm and used to get completely engrossed, mesmerized and marveled at the pictures and voice modulation of the teachers. Stories with meaningful messages inculcates value lessons in children and helps them learn about kindness, wisdom, honesty, compassion and more.
method has helped students to be independently inquisitive, think critically and to promote experiential learning.
The good stuff is always worth the time it takes.
Great stories happen to those who can tell them.

A healthy diet is the key to being fit. A child's food preference directly affects eating behaviour, which in turn is linked to overall health. To create awareness about overall health and well-being, ‘National Nutrition Week’ a weekly activity was organized for Kindergarteners.

Dressed as little chefs, children spoke about the healthy dishes and their properties with their nutritional value.

“Yoga is the journey of the self, through the self, to the self.”
Yoga For a Healthy Living Yoga is an invaluable gift of India's ancient tradition. Whenever we talk about fitness, yoga is never behind. Practising yoga at the young age can be beneficial for children. Kindergarteners celebrated ‘Yoga Day' with lots of pops and pods. Little yogi's performed each posture with utmost ease. It was amazing to see the little ones explaining different types of asanas step by step. Some charmed the audience while they explained the benefit of each asana. Their performance onscreen gave us a long-lasting impression to learn and cherish the celebration day. It was eye catching to see the little wonders being so flexible and spontaneous. It’s not about being good at something. It’s about being good to yourself. CLICK HERE

Paintings are the creative ideas of the children that are sure to capture their hearts and imagination. Children convey ideas, express emotions, use their senses, explore colour and create aesthetically pleasing art. Painting can become a pivotal mode of uninhibited self-expression and amazement for children. It is the process of creating, exploring, discovering and experimenting. In our Budding
Artist Competition, children created beautiful painting on the theme of nature. We really feel proud for all the artistry of our little Kindergarteners. Way to go Children!

“The Northern Lights painted the sky with stories we hadn’t heard of yet.” Vibrant rays of light combine in the Aurora Borealis to form graceful waves and patterns. The darkest of nights shine bright with the help of this natural display of art. Aptly named the Dawn of the North, the Northern lights or Aurora Borealis signify moving on to a fresh day, leaving the night behind. As we battle a pandemic, our students have used art as a form of expressing their inner thoughts, fears, and dreams and of showcasing their hope for a better tomorrow.
