Cake

Mishi Jain, Class VII F

Birthday cake,

Is the best thing to bake.

It is very easy to make

Just a piece of cake.

First take,

Some water from the lake.

Add some flour,

Then the baking soda and powder,

Then vanilla essence for the flavor.

Some cocoa powder,

Some milk and butter.

Then mix it hard

With the help of pestle and mortar.

Put it in the oven,

Check after some time

For topping add some lime.

So, here is your cake

Wasn’t it a piece of cake?

Keep making cake,

It will not let your confidence break.

The Beauty of Nature

Ayush Khurana, Class VIII E

What is man without Nature?

Like an adult who is not mature.

Nature is a creator like Einstein,

Helps us even though we hit her in the intestine.

She gives us food and oxygen,

Then why do we destroy her with bullets and gun?

We are the consumers of our caretaker

We use her so much that she wouldn’t be left till the future.

Existence – an Illusion

Iti Kathed, Class X D

Is the world we’re living in, real,

Or everything in here is just an illusion?

Do we know what we are

Or we would be anyone

People would want us to be in that hour?

Life is so certainly uncertain

Everyone knows that

Though only some accept

And others deny this fact.

We wish our happiness is perpetual

But we don’t ever want to feel sad

It’s so weird that we easily forget

That our journey is more important

Than the destination we’re designed for.

Judging and scrutinizing is so easy

If others are the targets

But it is so ironical when it comes to ourselves

We aren’t even capable to examine.

Life is a mixture

Everybody knows

Nothing is constant

Is the happiest and saddest part of it though.

Movie Review – Interstellar

Interstellar is certainly a unique movie. The movie begins with a father and child trying to figure out certain messages, which the child believes a ghost has placed. The father decodes the message and finds them to be latitudes and longitudes. He reaches the location and the place turns out to be a NASA station.

The scientists have been looking for a new planet and were trying to solve equations which would help them shift earth’s population to the new planet. The father is requested to join the search. He and four others enter worm holes, battle time, enter new and dangerous planets and find out that saving earth is not possible but finding a new planet is.

The father then enters a black hole along with a robot to save the remaining crew. There he finds data that can help solve equations that can save planet earth.

The plot could be a little hard to digest but the acting makes it believable. What I liked best in the movie was that the plot pushes Einstein’s, Hawking’s equations and gives us a representation of their thoughts. The visual representation of the 4^th dimension is not possible on a 2-dimensional screen but the director has done his best in his efforts to overcome the limitation. At certain points, the background music gave me goosebumps. Truly, it is not just background music as it captures the mood and feelings of a father separated from his children.

The movie is a complete blend of action, drama, love, animation and science. I personally found no weakness in the movie except that the plot depended extremely on luck. I would rate this movie with four stars out of five.

Mind Boggling

Avani Kamdar, Class XII C

How mind boggling it is, right?

They give you their everything.

When dreamy monsters scare you at night…

A lullaby with sweet voice they’d sing.

When your world is falling apart,

Or you’re starting to fail,

When you think there’s no one,

And no wind for your boat to sail,

Be thankful for one thing you have,

One thing which will remain forever.

Unconditional and eternal,

A love which will end never ever.

A love that can fix a million hearts,

And a love which can never be replaced.

A love that can heal wounds and remove your deepest scars,

This is the love which our parents give.

Cell Phone Etiquettes – Do We Possess Them?

Sanika Fegade, Class XI A

We possess mobile phones but lack mobile phone etiquettes.

Imagine a situation where you’ve spent hard-earned cash to watch a suspense thriller, the mystery is at its peak as the culprit is about to be revealed, you are at the edge of your seat when you hear a catchy – Bollywood-inspired tune, a cell phone ringtone actually. Wouldn’t you be irritated that someone has interrupted you? Moreover, this irritation doesn’t stop here – the next thing you hear is an old gentleman with a booming voice complaining about the food he had yesterday.

What I would like to talk about is something which is slightly more important to us than breathing – our cell phones. As a society, we have come to accept mobile phones as an important organ of our body. But have we learnt how to use this organ efficiently?

The answer is an obvious no!

Every day, we are subject to irrelevant conversation of strangers because people just don’t talk softly. Every day, we are disturbed during important meetings because the facility of ‘silent mode’ has been left unexplored by a large section of our society. This matter is of such great importance that even renowned writers like Jug Suraiya have taken up the cause of ‘Cell phone Privacy’. But even so, we haven’t come to realize any correlation between owning extravagant cellphones and practising free of cost cell phones etiquette.

This problem does not require a solution as ground breaking as rocket science but a simple understanding that people are not interested in our lives and that we must let people live their own lives without the worry of cellphone interruption.
