A Day Before Examination

Khushi Khanna, Class VII B

Examinations are an integral part of a student’s life. They are intended to test their knowledge and skills. Examinations are helpful in providing a stimulus to work. Systematic and consistent study is essential to tackle examinations.

The day before an examination is very important in the life of a student. It is this day, when the assimilation of knowledge takes place in our mind. It is very important to relax and have proper nutrition and sleep on the eve of an examination.

This enhances our concentration level. It is often seen that students become quite nervous before the exams. They cease to follow their regular routine and just think about the uncertainty of the questions or the result. This is not good. Instead, one should ensure comfortable and cool environment and should avoid panic before the exams. And during the day, only the important value points should be revised.

What A Teacher Can Do

Riddhi Singhania, Class XI D

STUDENT:

I once had a dream

A dream, to reach there,

Touch the stars of the sky,

But couldn’t do it

No matter how hard did I try.

I needed a ladder,

To take me up there;

Someone who could

Equip me with skills

And the one who would care

There it was, a gentle touch

And without it,

It might have been tougher;

That voice kept guiding me,

Without showing the pains it had to suffer.

Here I am,

From among the stars,

Looking at you

And do you ask how I did it,

I say, it’s only because of what a teacher can do!

Interesting Mars, or is it….?

Rusham Singh Bais, Class X A

John rushed into the room announcing, “I am going to mars!” breaking the eerie silence that had prevailed in the room. His parents and elder brother were having an important discussion and had abruptly stopped when John had impertinently interrupted their conversation.

His brother sniggered at him asking, “And how exactly are you going there, by train?” John scowled at him, he always made fun of his dreams and thoughts. John said with a ring of hostility in his voice that Ganesha was going to take him.

“Baby, are you feeling sick? Do you have fever?” his mother asked, her voice filled with trepidation and concern. John snapped ‘No’ at his mother and exited the room as quickly as he had entered.

I was waiting for him there with tranquility. Oh! I apologize, I forgot to introduce myself. I am Ganesha, a very good friend of John. John and I had met at Ganesh Chaturthi, he had looked forlorn then. I could not bear the sad look that he bore in his eyes and thus became his companion. We’ve been together since then.

As soon as John entered the room, he hurled himself at me saying that he hated his family. I disapproved his saying such things about his family but decided to keep my mouth shut. After he had drained himself of all his bitter thoughts, I asked him cautiously if he still wanted to go to Mars, and he eagerly said ‘Yes!’

With the magical powers vested in me, John and I reached Mars in a nanosecond. With dust all around, Mars was nothing but a small hot planet with no water. However, John loved the rocks present there, admiring the beautiful texture, the red merging with the sapphire created ravishing shades.

Mustering courage to walk on such a hot planet, we walked around and talked. We could have done that in the garden on earth, but it is so much cooler to talk on Mars! Thankfully, John had packed some sandwiches, and with our mouths full of the yummy bites, we returned to beloved Earth.

We plan to go to Jupiter next. With our fingers crossed, we hope that it will be more interesting than Mars.

Adorable Arts

Soumya Tiwari, Class X B

Arts, many colours they bind,

And are found in numerous kinds.

On a glistening paper,

A paint brush made its way…

Spreading bright colours,

Across the sad, dull grey.

Tracing creativity on a paper,

The colours slowly merged,

The hand made artistic swirls and whirls,

And a splendid painting emerged!

Art is not what you see,

It’s what you make others see,

So paint all your thoughts on a sheet,

And see what a great artist you’ll be!

Rains…

Vasudha Gupta, Class XI D

Rain drains in the streets,

Already surging in water,

Coming down in sleets,

Hitting every traveller.

Drops drum furiously on rooftops

As to make their presence known,

Puddles gather on sidewalks

Where infection will be grown.

Keeping everybody inside,

Flooding basements and drives,

But try, look the other way,

And step out in the tide.

Let drops trickle down your spine,

Making every cell alive,

Let wind whip your hair from your face,

And oh! See what peace you’ll embrace.

Rain, Rain, Come Again…

Rohan Tripathi, Class XI

Rain, Rain Come Again!

We are waiting for you!

Come and drench the mother earth which is so thirsty!

Clean the streets and roads which are so dirty.

Rain Rain Come Again!

We are waiting for you!

I love the drizzle when the sky sheds the droplets.

It wets the town gradually with great zest.

Rain Rain Come Again!

We are waiting for you!

My gardens need you, my flowers need you.

We want to welcome you, we want to greet you.

Rain Rain Come Again!

We are waiting for you!

I love the music created by you when you fall,

Dip-Dip-Dip is the sound that pleases us all!

Rain Rain Come Again!

We are waiting for you!

What Chemistry Taught Me

Manvi Upadhyay, Class X B

In chemistry we learn about the three states of matter-the solids, the liquids and the gases. It was just 4 hours ago when I realised what it actually teaches us.

We all have mass and we all occupy space. This means, we matter. We sometimes are rigid, sometimes we are not. Just like the liquids we take whatever ‘shape’ we are asked to by the society. We are all attracted towards each other. This force of attraction is what you and I have termed as ‘love’. We all are the fluids, filling up and taking up the shapes and sizes the people want us to. We are all spaced from one another. We are all falling apart from each other.

The three states of matter define life. The solid state being the state in which you are ‘held’ together. The state in which you and your ideas are fixed. There is hardly anyone to bother you or to change you. Then comes the society in the form of ‘heat’. They ask us to bring about some changes in ourselves, and without even thinking once we just do it. Sometimes, this whole society effect is so strong that from the ‘rigid’ person you used to be, you become completely helpless and just go around not knowing where you are going, just like the gases.

What I’m trying to say is, be the solid. Don’t change because someone asked you to. Don’t let society’s force drift you apart from yourself. All these people out there will change with time. Just because your outer body is not as pretty as your friend’s doesn’t mean you need to change yourself. Just because one woman is prettier than you doesn’t mean you are not. We don’t count the outer beauty. We are pretty on the inside. We can’t fall apart again and again. Together we matter. Together we are one.

Tears

Samar Rajput, Class X B

They are the most precious droplets showing our emotions. When we are very happy, they come out. When sad, we show it by drowning ourselves in tears. They are not just simple drops of water, but they are the most articulate way of expressing ourselves. Without us even having to say a word, they convey the deepest of meaning.

Tears relieve us from the heavy concrete like feelings which trouble us. They are a proof that we have emotions, that we have feelings and that our heart is clean. Maybe some people think that sometimes it is easy to hold back our tears and wear a fake smile so that no one knows what we are suffering from. I think that we should never hold back our tears. If we do, they flood our lives later causing problems which are even worse. It is a way to release pain and we should release it whenever and wherever possible.

It is better to cry than be angry because anger hurts us while tears flow through us taking all our stress and tension away. It is the best way to cleanse our hearts. People always say that strength is when you have so much to cry for, but you choose to smile. I think these people are wrong. I say it takes way more strength to let our feelings come out in the open. It takes way more strength to accept the fact that we don’t care about what people think. Tears are simply the raindrops from the storm inside us.

Don’t ever care what people might think of you if they see you crying. I cry, and I am proud that I do. You should be proud to have feelings. Let the storm out. Have a good cry and wash out your heart. If you keep your tears inside, they will tear you apart. Remember, when you were born, your first cry indicated that you are alive.

The Fire

Avi Shrivastava, Class IX G

The spark which turned into fire,

Had not been seen by the Englishmen prior.

Broke out from the nation’s core,

From Peshawar to Calcutta’s shore.

After years of slavery’s night,

Ignited the fire with much awaited light.

Then came the fire in a thousand flames,

With independence as the only aim.

Against one common foe,

None could suppress the fire which has the fuel to grow.

The spark which turned into fire,

Had not been seen by the Englishmen prior!
