Life and School Days

Vasudha Gupta, Class IX D

Life

Life is a journey

We walk through it slowly

Skipping and tripping, falling and soaring

It’s always fun, even though it gets boring

Near ponds we lurk

In waves we surf

From rocks we fall

Yet keep our crawl

Sometimes it rains

And suns a pain

But we walk through

And that’s how we grow!

School Days

School days were the ones

Where our hearts had sung

We could be anyone

And laugh in the sun.

The changing life, arrival of new generation has changed and developed our society. New ideas, more convenience in every way is a better way of lifestyle than the old generation, but the youth is now lost in their own world of gadgets and other convenient modes. They are happy alone and want their own privacy. Interference of anyone in their lives is disliked by them. They have forgotten the moral values that should be followed to make one a compatible and complete personality. The youth is getting influenced from each other and are choosing the wrong path. They have no respect for their family. Where parents, with a lot of love and affection make four children capable of handling themselves, their four children are not able to handle their two old parents but consider them a step to convenience and nothing more than that. They don’t even respect their grandparents who need their help in old age. Our grandparents are like a tree that protects us from all the difficulties. They even show us the correct path to be followed. They are even more experienced than us and have the ability to judge the decisions. They never let us entangle in troubles which they have faced in their lives. Knowing all this the young generation does not respect them. In a family get together no one talks about education, inspiring topics rather point out faults in others. Many children, after getting money, property, jewellery and other valuables from their parents, leave them or throw them out of their house. And their parents, in such a condition, when they are so old have to manage themselves. The youth should understand the importance of elders, they are our guardians and our well wishers, who really care and wish well for us. Therefore, it is the duty of the new generation to keep their well wishers happy because there are more enemies and more people who dislike you and very few well wishers in this world. Last but not the least they should never forget, as you sow, so you reap.

In the Lap of Happiness

Rishita Neema, Class VII A

Cherished childhood passes,

In her loving lap.

Mind gets relaxed,

Because of her and I begin to clap.

When I was happy

You swayed me.

In the worst days,

You never betrayed me.

You are the spirit of heaven,

Every time I made a mistake, I was forgiven.

We’ll remain together all my life,

And share secrets worth their while.

Well she’s my mom,

God is the person whom she came from.

Her attitude is optimistic,

And her face is fair.

She always helps me,

Whenever unhappiness I bear.

My Name is Rain

Adi Dantre, Class IX A

I am like a bursting bucket of water,

I emerge from the cynical water of life and death,

Falling like tears and descending from the clouds,

To rejuvenate young minds.

I am like the tears of god,

Crying for the loathsome sins committed,

Tears which emerge from a cycle and end a cycle in a fearful way.

I am the third eye of Shiva,

Bleeding destruction if too much and the same if less,

I am like the spark for fire,

Light for dark,

Cure for diseases and food for hunger.

I am rain.

Information Technology – Its Impact on Society

Yoga – A Way of Life

Ishika Mundhra, Class IX A

Yoga, an ancient but perfect science deals with the evolution of humanity. Yoga cultivates the ways of maintaining a balanced attitude in day-to-day life and endows skills in the performance of one’s actions. It is more than a simple workout session.

Yoga has innumerable benefits as the mind, body and soul get relaxed. Even starting with twenty minutes a day will let you reap many benefits of yoga. Yoga helps you get a better posture, strength, balance, endurance and flexibility.

It is a well-known fact that people who regularly do yoga are more likely to maintain their weight than those who don’t. Doing yoga regularly lowers levels of adrenalin, blood pressure, pulse rate and cholesterol. The list of benefits of yoga is endless. As the holy Bhagwat Gita says, ‘Yoga is the journey of the self, through the self and to the self’. Everybody should devote at least twenty minutes to yoga and they will certainly notice a positive difference in themselves.

Project on Indian Architecture

British Council Project

The British Council Social Science Project was titled Indian Architecture – An Amalgamation of Various Styles.

It was a very interesting study which opened the eyes of the students to the architectural marvels not only of India but of other countries as well.

Extensive research, making of calendars, quizzes, site visit, community service, guest lecture ………it had it all!

“Jharokha”, the exhibition was a showcase of the creativity of the Shishyans.

A fascinating project which involved learning at every step!

Shishyans Go Organic

A British Council Project

Shishyans have plunged headlong into the Science British Council Project titled ‘Go Organic – It’s the New Way to Go!’

This project involves a plethora of activities: research on organic farming in several countries, visit to Jaivik Setu – the one stop organic destination in Indore, making posters and charts, guest lectures, street plays, etc. The most fun filled activity has been the creation of a small organic garden in Shishukunj. Shishyans are nurturing it with great care and can often be found taking a peek into the area just to check ‘if the plants have grown a lil’ bit more!

Through these multiple activities, the seeds of ‘going organic’ have been sown in Shishukunj, it will be in no time that these seeds will grow into big trees…….. meaning a big movement!

This project is surely the start of a big Organic movement in Shishukunj. Go Shishyans Go !

Dear Mother

Nandini Shroff, Class IX F

Oh my mother,

My loving mother,

You are the one who’s always by my side,

You know everything about me,

Even the things I try to hide.

You were there when I cried,

And even when I laughed with delight,

You seem to have the most loving sight

Your love, by all means, is my right.

Oh my mother,

My lovely mother,

I’ll make you proud,

and try with all my might!

That is Nature

Mihir Bagadia, Class IX F

The clouds in the sky,

And grass heaven on land,

The water of gold,

The life of the earth,

That is our beautiful Nature.

The beauty of Pegasus,

The size of Megalodon,

The power of the mammoth,

And the light of the sun,

Can’t be challenged by anyone,

That is our Nature’s law.

The growth of life,

To the end of life,

Nature is on your side,

These are our Nature’s gifts.

Since the start of the world,

To the end of the world,

Take care of the Nature,

That is what the Nature wants.
