Sainik Schools have been entrusted with a responsibility of bringing up our youth to achieve higher standards not only in the field of education but also in other walks of life. I am happy to note that Sainik School Kazhakootam has set its goal towards achieving this task. A large number of its alumni serving in our Defence Forces is a testimony to school’s commitment towards this noble cause.

The school journal provides students an opportunity to express their talent and to exhibit creativity. It also showcases the scholastic and non-scholastic activities of the school held throughout the year which are designed for all-round development of the personality of the cadets. I have no doubt that the journal will provide a forum for exchange of views and will be of great interest to all readers.

I am delighted to learn that Sainik School Kazhakootam is publishing its Annual Journal shortly. Sainik Schools are known for their high standard of discipline, moral and ethical values and for designing a curriculum which ensures holistic development of the cadets by making them self-reliant, physically robust and mentally agile.

Since its inception in 1962 Sainik School Kazhakootam has nurtured a large pool of talented cadets whose commendable contribution in nation building has made the school and the country proud. I am sanguine that Sainik School Kazhakootam will continue to strive hard to accomplish the objectives for which it has been established.

On the occasion I convey my best wishes to the Principal, staff and the cadets of the school and wish them success in all their future endeavours.

s I pen down my thoughts after having been in the school just for a couple of months, it gives me a feeling that I am in God's own country and in one of the best schools of our motherland. One of the objectives of establishing Sainik Schools is to develop qualities of body, mind and character which will enable the young boys of today to become Col VKS Rawat good and useful citizens of tomorrow and this is the Principal central theme towards which all the members of staff at this grand school are committed to accomplish.

Education plays a vital role in everyone’s life by shaping the personality, improving knowledge and skill and by providing a feeling of well being to a human being. It develops our analytical skills, character and overall personality in the end. There is no denying the fact that in today’s highly competitive arena, school education has gained great value and even today’s young students have realised that without hard work there is no success.

It is a universal fact that stage by stage as the human organism matures, it struggles to maintain itself against the pressures of surrounding field of people and things.

Some of these pressures are beneficial, supporting and furthering growth; while some are a little challenging, inhibiting and at times threatening. At every stage of life, these pressures write their effects into our psyche and as we come to terms with these challenges we become intelligent and successful. At this school we take it as our duty and feel fortunate that we have more than six hundred young leaders of tomorrow with us, who would be the torch bearers of our nation and we are part of their journey of success.

I would like to take this opportunity to reiterate to the parents, well-wishers, stakeholders and alumni of the school that we shall never rest at the laurels of the past glory but re-dedicate ourselves to scale greater heights of glory in the years to come. Wishing all the readers a “happy reading”.

It's indeed a singular honour for me to be here to present the annual report of the school to such an exalted audience whose collective value has been exponentially increased by the presence of none other than our honourable Presiding Officers. They have been adequately introduced to the audience in the morning and I do not wish to duplicate the same. Let me now embark on the onerous task of presenting my report.

Sainik School Kazhakootam is one of the 26 Sainik Schools in the country, which was established in 1962. Apart from our principal aim of preparing the boys for entry into the pre commission training academies, the training imparted in this school shape the students socially and create in them a know how to approach life meaningfully in order to emerge as responsible citizens of India and leaders in different walks of life.

New Admissions After the All India Sainik Schools Entrance Examination this January and selection procedure thereafter, 108 cadets were admitted to the school, 94 in Class VI and 14 in Class IX. The present school strength is 668 including 625 Boarders and 43 Day Scholars. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m happy to announce that the second set of 4 cadets have joined us from Attapadi through Project Shine. It is with pride that

Parent-Teacher Meeting

Training In the arena of academics, we came first among all Sainik schools in the country in the year 2016 in the class xii results. However, this year, we came a close second to SS Korukonda by a sheer margin of 1%. I wish to place on record the excellent work done by the Vice Principal, Lt Cdr Parichay Kalra, Senior Master Mr. K Rajendran and his team of teachers to bring up the results to this enviable standards. It may be appreciated that this result is a product of pure classroom education and not based on any sort of extra tuitions.

The class X results were a bit discouraging with 3 compartments in Mathematics. All the three cleared the compartment and are in XI now. These three boys were a part of 11 who were recommended to be dismissed on grounds of low academic performance in their class ix exam. It was a challenge taken by us to keep all 11 with us and give special attention. One

I mention that all of them have adjusted very well to our environs.

Out of the seven children who joined last year, six have been promoted on their own effort whereas one has been detained in class six based on parentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request.

The number of applications being received have shown a steady rise, thanks to our overdrive on propagation of our cause.

wonders whether to take credit for bringing eight out of them to the other side of the fence in the first go or accept blame for spoiling a cent percent score of the school in class X due to the remaining three who later cleared.

For bettering the approach towards academics, extra classes for weak students are organized daily. The overall failures in various classes have much reduced and the bell curve now shows a forward thrust.

The number of casual tests have been increased. The system of evening study period have also been changed and it now happens in houses under the direct supervision of a master. The commuting time to and fro the academic block has been thus gained.

The graph of withdrawals have also seen a healthy decline. The ousters due to academic under performance has reduced. By the grace of God, there has not been any case of absconding from the school.

The Parent teacher meet which was a once in a year affair has been increased to three in 2015-16 and now to five in a year. PTM was held for Junior & Senior classes separately on 05 & 12 Aug, 14 & 21 Oct and

together on 25 Nov 17. A large number of parents attended the meeting and interacted with members of the faculty. The PTM for third session is slated for 10 Feb 18.

In-service Training for Sainik School Teachers An In-service training programme for Mathematics, English and Social Science teachers was conducted at Sainik School Puruliya, West Bengal from 05 to 09 Jun 2017. Three teachers, Mr Mathew KT, Asst Mas-

ter Social Science, Smt Sonia R, Asst Master English and Smt OK Supriya Rani, Master in Mathematics attended and successfully completed the training programme.

Sports and Games Facilities for playing almost all major games (Football, Hockey, Volleyball, Tennis, Basketball, Cricket and Badminton) and participation in athletic track and field events exist in the School campus. To the chagrin of many, cricket has been reserved only for Sundays which ensures that all cadets play contact and troop games on all other days. Besides these, the Cadets take up indoor games like

Table Tennis, Chess and Caroms.

Participation in major sports for all the boys is compulsory and one hour in the evening in the daily routine has been earmarked for this purpose. The School has a modern swimming pool of Olympic Standards and the curriculum has an inbuilt Swimming Class for each cadet from VII to XII in the non contact hours. Cadets are also exposed to multifarious hobby activi-

ties like Karate, Kungfu and Yoga.

The ongoing academic session also witnessed a sort of Renaissance with regard the house system. When I took over, the school had a four tier structure with holding house for 6th STD, 7 & 8 as sub juniors, 9 & 10 as juniors and 11 n 12 as seniors. That was immediately changed to 6 & 7 as sub juniors, 8, 9 & 10 as juniors and 11 & 12 as seniors as a first step towards

bringing back the old house system of 4 senior, 4 affiliated junior and 3 sub junior houses. This year, that has been achieved by adding class X also in senior houses. The present house system has been vetted by the LBA so that it is no more subjected to frequent changes.

pared speech and could not do so due to stage fright. This led to the understanding that more than half of the school does not get a chance on stage to face an audience.

Participation in all literary competitions were immediately doubled and now each house is represented by 4 speakers for each event. The numbers of events permissible for a cadet has been reduced to two which ensures that different cadets are fielded by the houses and more cadets get to take the podium.

Nine class xii students now engage in a group discussion on stage during the Principalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assembly on all Mondays. A zero period of 20 minutes has been incorporated in the time table on all non assembly days wherein the concerned class teachers get 2 to 3 cadets to speak

in the class. The system of public speaking during the house roll calls are also seeing good results. The house masters now opine that there is a healthy competition within the house during auditions for various events with more and more volunteers coming up.

Co-curricular Activities To bring forth the latent talents in the Cadets, Inter House Competitions were held in Recitation, Declamation, Quiz, Essay Writing, Calligraphy, Debate and Extempore Competition. Wide exposure is also given to the cadets by allow-

Our first batch of students joined NDA in 1965 and till date, more than 900 alumni have been awarded the President’s Commission in the Armed Forces. Quite a few of them have been conferred gallantry awards for their services and sacrifices rendered to the nation.

Very many OBs have reached the higher echelons the defence forces.

Regular NDA preparatory classes are arranged for the boys to prepare them for the UPSC written examination.

67 Cadets appeared in the UPSC Exam for 138 & 139 NDA Courses, 16 cadets qualified the exam and 07 cadets qualified SSB, whereas 05 cadets joined NDA/ Naval Academy and OTA Gaya. The UPSC written examination for entry into the 140 NDA course was held on 10 Sep 2015. 84 cadets of Class XII appeared in the examination. 14 passed the exam and are awaiting their call letters.

Speaking of NDA results, our school had won DM trophy 5 times. First in 1968 and then in 71, 73, 74 and 78. The maximum entry percentage wise was 40% in 1974 and lowest in 90, 2001 and 2017. The consolidated

data is as shown on the view foil.

The comparative performance of all schools in UPSC vis-à-vis CBSE is as per the chart.

It has been our single point endeavour to improve the results of the UPSC. We had left no stone unturned in the preparation part with external faculty, mock tests etc.

There’s been a marginal improvement of 10% over the last year’s performance which in no way can be termed as fully satisfactory. We have undertaken various steps towards motivating these youngsters.

Ignite sessions were conducted by serving officers of the three services.

NDA and INA visits, visit to various defence establishments, address by high ranking defence officers and such other measures were undertaken including ignite session for the parents. Through effective liaison with AFSB, we could send 6

cadets for live SSB exposure of the de-novo selection system. We are in active consideration to send them again in January Last year, soon after the 7 CPC was declared, a few parents from the class XII and parents body had asked me why I still insisted on forcing their children to join the services. In my first interaction with them, I had reiterated that my only KRA was reversing the NDA trend.

Their question was purely based on a misconception that the defence forces were given a raw deal. They couldn’t digest the reasons spelt out by me, where upon the matter was broached to the LBA chairman.

Some were still not convinced. The crowd today is different but the question may be same. Ladies and Gentlemen, here is the answer why you should force your children to join this great service. Look at our chief guests. Can you imagine anything which gives more pride and dignity to an individual, to an alma mater, to a community than this? If you are still unconvinced, well, our guests will address you a while later.

kAZHAK C ADET // 2017-2018

Old Boys’ Association Sainik School Kazhakootam has a vibrant and closely - knit Old Boys Association. We as old boys have a very close association with our Alma mater. Every year OBA organises a re-union in which quite a good number of Old Boys come ‘Home’ along with their families. On behalf of the school, as the Principal and patron of the OBA, I am happy to place on record our deep appreciation for the yeomen service rendered by the OBA in all the developmental activities of the school.

This is an occasion to acknowledge their unstinted support and I thank Cdr Sam T Samuel, President, Mr Sony Somarajan, and Col Sajjad, Vice Presidents, Shri VP Jain, Gen Secretary OBA, all executive members and all life members for their selfless dedication.

This year marked the elevation of three of our stalwarts to the higher Admin Grade of Govt of India. Fortunately, two out of them are here with us today. Vice Admiral Ajit Kumar P, AVSM, VSM, VCNC was held back at Delhi due to unavoidable official reasons. Air Vice Marshal IP Vipin stands approved for Air Marshal and shall soon be elevated.

We recently had a splendid re-union on 08 Jul 2017, sponsored by the batch of 1992. The Chief Guest for the function was Gen Cherish Mathson, SM, VSM. A felicitation function titled ‘Guruvandanam’ was organised by the batch, where the teachers, past and present, were presented with a Harvard model as a token of love. A cultural evening

was also organised. The event was much enjoyed by our cadets. The event concluded with a Grant Kazhak Meet.

In NDA, there’s an off repeated statement made during the POP. It goes something like this, when two Ex NDA meet, the first thing is which Sqn, which Course and then the work gets done in a jiffy. We too boast of a similar if not better system when two OBs meet. The way the OBs uphold each other and work for each has been the envy of many. Most old boys association have been structured around our system.

The ninth edition of the Capt R Harshan, Ashok Chakra Memorial All Kerala Inter School Basketball tournament sponsored by Old Boys Association (OBA) of the school concluded on 06 Nov 15. Twelve teams from various schools participated. Maj Gen AnoopKumar V, SM ADG NCC graced the function as Chief Guest and gave away the trophies and medals to the winners.

In an evenly poised tournament, Our school emerged the rightful winners. Cdt Amar Prathap Singh was declared as the best player.

Col NJ Nair memorial Debate competition, also under the umbrella of OBA was held on 03 Nov 17. Nine schools participated and once again our school emerged the champions. Cdt Shilpa Rajiv Nair was one among the two who were adjudged as the best speakers.

The first edition of NBN memorial teacher enrichment workshop was

conducted on 18 Nov 2017. Twenty one teachers from 9 schools other than 20 teachers from our school participated. Prof Richard Hay, Hon’ble MP inaugurated the one day workshop. Eminent speakers like Prof Achyuth Shankar S Nair, Dr Sreedhar and Dr Jayakiran conducted the event. I too was fortunate to be given a slot to address the teachers and share my thoughts on parenting adolescence. The event was well covered in print.

Before moving ahead, I’d like to apprise the gathering here that there is an acute financial crisis through which the school is passing now.

We are under a total deficit of Rs 4.81 Crore and are debtors to the Old boys and reserve fund of the school. This stiffles not just the normal functioning, but even thoughts for administrative enrichment.

Therefore, it has been my endeavor to procure through the old boys

fraternity, Parents association and CSR ventures, the requirements of the school.

Towards the upkeep and maintenance of the general area, the batches from 91 onwards had been contributing to employ dedicated workers. The batch of 1992 sponsored water purifiers for all Houses.

The farm project, initiated by the 91 batch has been steered forward by the 92 batch. It’s a sight worth beholding. My sincere thanks to them.

Do take some time and visit the farms that are so lovingly nurtured by the Agro club. The batch of 93 has promised a new pavilion near the hockey ground in memory of Shri TP Ramachandran sir and an on ground periodic table in memory of Shri NBN. Through another old boy, roll no 551 Shri Sasikumar, erstwhile MD of SBT, the school got an ambulance through a CSR initiative.

Conclusion It is my pristine duty to profoundly thank the Chairman LBA, Air Marshal RKS Bhadauria, AVSM, VM, Air Officer Commanding in-Chief Southern Air Command in absentia and members of the Local Board of Administration for their valuable guidance and support. I am also grateful to the Govt of Kerala, NCC, DPI, PWD, LNCPE, KSRTC, Sports council and Police Dept for their timely help. I also thank the President and other respected members of Parents’ Association and the OBA for their advice, support and suggestions.

Together we tried to keep up the good name of the school, whether it was in child rights commission or SC ST or human rights commission and even in the civil courts.

My gratitude and thanks to the Electronic and Print media for giving ample publicity and recognition to our school. I would like to place on record the excellent work done by the Admin Officer, Vice Principal, Senior Master, Academic, Administrative, PT and NCC staff,

14 / / S ainik S cho ol K a zhako ot am

General Employees and the daily wage employees for the continued vigour and dedication. The direct or indirect contributions of each cadet and parent are commendable and highly appreciated. My compliments to every one of them for cheerfully shouldering the responsibilities assigned to them in making all the activities meaningful and organized in a befitting manner. On behalf of all Kazhaks, I once again express my sincere thanks to our chief Guests, other distinguished guests, parents, Old Boys, and all well wishers of the school on this occasion for being with us.

The Principal’s report is the most formal occasion in a year for the principal to speak. This is my third such report and most probably the last. This must be the only time in history that a Principal’s report is being presented by an Old boy to two presiding officers, both illustrious Old boys, who are epitomes of all the virtues this temple of grooming offers. I thank

God Almighty for having given me this opportunity and the greater opportunity to serve my Alma Mater, a very rare honour that is bestowed only on very few. At times I wonder why out of all, He had chosen me, stage managed my conversion to the AEC from Infantry and changed my posting from SS Bijapur to Bhubaneshwar to my school in one single day with no external influence at all.

He must have had some reasons, and as I’m poised to move out, though I know that I’ve not been able to meet all of my own goals mainly the UPSC and NDA results, His hidden motives would’ve been met. But I know that he knows that I have tried. I thank Him for standing by all of us during our trials and tribulations. I thank Him for being there whenever we wanted Him. Before I wind off, on behalf of the entire Kazhak family, I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year 2018.

Jai Hind.

SAINIK SCHOOL NCC & ME

Brig. K Nandakumaran 1013 1980 Batch

A NOSTALGIC TRIP W

hile studying in Sainik School, NCC was compulsory part of the curriculum.

Though our normal life and routine were in uniform, we loved the NCC parades because it was different. Two days in a week, instead of normal games, we had to attend NCC parades. Preparing for it by itself was exciting. The uniform had to be set, the brass runners on the belt and the badge on the beret were to be shined using Brasso till they shined like gold. The big boots with its hard heel and toe had to be polished till one could see his reflection in it and also ensure that they had the horseshoe and thirteen hobnails under them.

These NCC periods added to our rudimentary knowledge about the armed forces because that was the time we got to see real faujis very closely.

They amused us with lots of macho stories ( most of which we later realised, were made up – like one of them said that the 400 meter run in the army was double the 400 meters we ran in school!). At the end of it, there were refreshments with tea. We also got a cake of soap at the end of the month for washing our uniform and socks.

Sometime in our eighth class, we were given training in weapon handling which culminated in

firing at the ranges. There was a big adrenaline rush as we were handling weapons and live ammunition for the first time in our life. The instructors from the army briefed us in great detail most of which went over our heads because the whole briefing was in Hindi and our understanding of our ‘Rashtrabhasha’ was very basic. Anyway, pretending that whatever was said was understood, we took to firing. Before the actual firing, we were made to do so much of physical activities like musketry and running around a small hillock nearby, which our instructor said was for warming up and building up stamina, we hardly had any stamina left to hold our breath, take aim and fire. But fire, we did. After firing five rounds from a .22 rifle, we were to have a look at our targets to see how many hits we had. Luckily for me, I had three hits on the target. But my neighbour had none. He looked dejected but then on the target next to him, there were seven hits. It was obvious that he had taken aim and fired on the wrong target. He got a nice firing from our instructor for it.

The acme of our NCC training was when next year, in our ninth class, five of us from our class were selected to participate in the Republic Day Parade at New Delhi. Three of us (Kartha- 974, Sunil-1009 & self-1013) represented the state and two ( Sashi-956 & Sohanlal - 1026 ) represented Sainik Schools . It was for the first time that a Sainik School contingent marching on the Rajpath. The year was 1977 and what a proud moment it was for us.

Those days when communications and railways were not as developed as they are now, Delhi was too far away from Trivandrum. Through two preparatory camps, we were kitted and prepared

S ainik S cho ol K a zhako ot am // 2 1

kAZHAK C ADET // 2017-2018

to proceed to Delhi for the greatest event of our lives. The woollens which were issued to us were a novelty for us as we had never known what winters are, other than the Kerala winter where one sleeps with a fan on and says that the winter is too cold that year. But our instructors from the army warned us of the sub zero or near sub zero temperatures in Delhi around that time.

Kitted and booted, we set out for Delhi from Trivandrum in one coach specially booked for us and attached with a regular train to Delhi. By now, we were a mix of senior and junior, girls and boys and a set of instructors to look after us all.

The train journey which took five days was very exciting. Almost all of us were embarking on such a long journey for the first time in our lives. While the train was on the move, we also prepared for and fine tuned all the activities in which we had to participate while at Delhi. Since I was selected to take part in the quiz competition, I was left alone to read and study. We also spent lot of time watching the scenery outside and were amused at the changing landscape as we moved from the southernmost part of India to its capital.

And finally, we were there- the RDC Camp, the dream of every NCC cadet. Though it was

22 / / S ainik S cho ol K a zhako ot am

very cold, much more than we had imagined it to be, the hectic pace of activities kept us warm. The rehearsals for march past and other competitions and activities kept us totally involved. Our involvement was so much that not for once we felt homesick . And there were no mobile phones those days to keep reminding us of our homes. Everything was like a dream . It was a new experience which enriched our minds. As the pace of activities increased, and we were hopping from one activity to another, time started to fly. And finally the D Day dawned- 26 January 1977. A day I will never forget in my life. As part of the NCC contingent, with chests swollen with pride, we marched in front of the nation on the Rajpath. Parade over when we returned to the camp another great news awaited us that our quiz team in which I was a member, stood second overall. It was such a memorable day of achievements. These were followed by a series of other activities which included a felicitation ceremony at the Rashtrapati Bhavan. What more could a Class IX student dream for- to have a cup of tea and shake hands with the First Citizen of our great nation. These were all dreams coming true.

During this one month of camping at Delhi, we made many new friends even from other states.

Horizon of our awareness widened much more

than what class rooms could do to us. Finally, bidding farewell to our newly found friends, we returned with heavy hearts. Though we had many achievements to show off, the return journey was not as exciting as the onward one. But as it is often said, all good things do come to an end. Back to where we started from, we were given a rousing welcome by the state. The grand finale was a felicitation function by the Governor of the state where those who did well were commended by the Governor himself. Another proud moment it was, for all of us.

Sainik School and NCC gave us a lot of such proud moments and experience to cherish. In the very next year, 1978, we went for our Annual Training Camp to Khrew in Jammu & Kashmir.

We moved from Kanyakumari to Kashmir, literally.

More about it later. When I rewind my life back to those years, I feel that these experiences I gained in the School and in NCC, played a pivotal role in shaping my future and instrumental in me getting through to NDA and life beyond.

Today as a Group Commander in NCC, I see children with dreams in their eyes. I was lucky that I was in an institution which gave me an opportunity to dream and to make those dreams come true.

he menaces caused by plastic are many in numbers. Such menaces are caused due to the everyday activities of man. This menace starts right from the time we get up. We eat a chocolate and throw the wrappers on the road side or in the surroundings carelessly. Likewise if the waste papers are thrown all around it causes huge sanitation problem. We use plastic carry bags to buy vegetables and groceries and such carry bags are thrown carelessly in our surroundings which make the environment dirty and polluted. This makes our world a dump yard of plastic.

The plastic which we litter around in our environment pollute the air water and soil of the earth. The plastic which we throw contains toxic chemical substances which eventually get mixed up with water and soil. It results the death of marine animals

Plastic menace & its impact on

Environment The second impact of plastic in our society is that the plastics we litter are non-degradable. Nondegradable substances refers to those substances which do not mix up with the soil or the topography.

The second impact of plastic in our society is that the plastic we litter are non-degradable. Non-degradable substances refers to those substances which do not mix up with the soil or the topography. So the plastics we litter will never disappear on their own. So it is we who should make sure that we do not litter our surroundings. I hope you all have seen dustbins in diďŹ&#x20AC;erent colours.

These do refer something. The green dustbins are used for the waste which are degradable and the red one is used for non-degradable like plastics, iron etc.

Nowadays the world is changing very fast and accordingly the environment in which we live is to be kept clean to keep us free from diseases.

Another impact is the burning of plastics. This is highly dangerous to our health. Instead of burning plastics we should go to the nearest plastic recycle

unit and dispose it there. The gas produced by burning of plastics causes a major damage to the ozone layer and health hazard to the living beings.

You know the plastic which you use in everyday life starting from the tooth brush, comb, pen, water bottle, etc are made of plastic. The present day world has taken the use of plastic to a whole new level. And this caused a serious menace to the very existence of living beings in the world.

We must make an honest effort to bring down

the use of plastic to save our planet.

The evil effects of plastic are caused by the casual attitude of the people. The people should know the problems caused by the careless handling of plastic waste. The future of the earth is in danger if we continue to pollute the planet earth with plastic.

Nowadays NGOs conduct campaigns against the intensive use of plastics in the society.

Our honourable Prime Minister Shri. Narendra

Modi called for a nationwide huge campaign against the menace of plastic and invited people for a clean India drive or “Swach Bharat Abhyan”. Some years back NASA had a plan to collect all the non-bio gradable waste and dump it into the outer space. Later this plan was dropped because if it is dumped in space it may cause further problems in the space. Therefore the golden rule is to follow the three ‘R’s ; Recycle, Reuse and Reduce the use of plastic.

Dream Poem

Salute the golden Sun!!!

Nakul Viswanathan, 5679

As I take my pen To write it down Some master piece That has not yet found.

I take a look At the paper in front Smooth and white Without the content.

Hisham N 5405

I thought of writing a poem right away, To my friends when I said they tease, “No way”.

They’re just joking I convince myself, But the other me asked, “Can you do it yourself?”

So, what should be the poem, I write about?

The usual stuff that They print out, It should be different from others I say, Not about trees, wind, birds or the sun so gay I roughly scribbled The first few lines And showed to my sarcastic friends Who said, “It’s just fine'' I glare at them and They laugh out loud I crumble the sheet In front of the crowd I can’t write a poem they say So I’ll write a story this day!!.

28 / / S ainik S cho ol K a zhako ot am

Get up, Get up you lazy ones!

And salute the golden sun!!!

Look how great he is, Be like him!

Get up, Get up you lazy ones!

And salute the golden sun!!

Go and take bath, Be like him!

Get up, Get up you lazy ones!

And salute the golden sun!!!

Go and eat your breakfast!

Be like him!

Get up, Get up you lazy ones! and salute the golden sun!!!

Go to school Don’t be like him!

ow a days development in technology has brought about drastic changes in our environment which eventually had led to a very adverse effect on our Nature. Nature is very essential and it is a part of all living things in this world but now a days in order to fulfil our needs human beings degrade the environment and this greed had created an adverse effect on the nature. Industrialisation, urbanization and uncontrolled use of fossil fuel had affected the atmosphere

and depleted the nature. A major problem is that many countries are making atom and hydrogen bombs to make their defence forces strong but uses of destructive weapons affect the nature. If it continues for long time, life will not exist anymore on this planet. So, we have to protect our environment to make life safe on planet earth. I hope you will care for nature by not cutting down trees and by not polluting the environment.

Abhinav 5974

Our Nature

I have an elder brother.

He’s sweet just like a sugar.

But if he gets some real angry Then he’s just like a tiger He’s very studious, whether day or night, He takes on a schedule which is very tight, I know he can reach great heights I know he’s always right.

That Friend of

Mine

He was with me, from a young, tender age Never ever let me taste loneliness, He was as humble as can be, With a kind heart he led me Out of the bewitched darkness He taught me all about the good And pushed me out of the bad Never ever let me drop into the Cage of terror and the evil Globs of danger And here I stand, right next to His grave, of course With a heavy heart I must say He had left me forever; Never, ever to be such again…

ttending Republic Camp at Delhi is a dream come true for any NCC cadet in India.

After rigorous training and competition held in a number of Pre-RD camps one hundred and eleven cadets are selected from Kerala & Lakshadeep to represent the state at Republic Day camp in New Delhi in Jan 2018. It was indeed a proud moment for me as I was also selected to attend the camp. It was a long cherished ambition for me to represent the state at RD camp in New Delhi Our Joy and excitement doubled in the kitting camp at Calicut, when we came to know that we were given items worth of Rs. 12000 in our kit. I addition we were also given Rs. 2000 for our expenditure en-route to Delhi. The items issued to us in our kit were of superior quality as we were representing our state in Delhi.

On the of 25th of December 2017 we had a high tea at Calicut hosted by ADG Maj Gen Anoop Kumar V who is an alumnus of Sainik School Kazhakootam. Soon after that we left for the station and boarded Mangala Express and headed for Delhi. We were warmly welcomed by the reception committee from the RD Camp. The climate in Delhi was biting cold and the temperature was below 400C. As it was a national level camp we had excellent food and accommodation at the camp. The K & L Directorate participated in guard

of honour, Rajpath marching, Prime Minister’s Rally and brought laurels to the Directorate.

On the 5th of January the honourable Vice President of India Shri Venkaiah Naidu formally inaugurated the camp. It was a great honour for us to meet the Vice President so closely and interact with him freely. In the following days we had tea and interaction at the residence of Chief of Army Staff General Bipin Rawat, UYSM, AVSM, YSM, SM, VSM, Chief of Naval staff Admiral Sunil Lanba, PVSM, AVSM, ADC and Chief of Air Staff Air Chief Marshal Birender Singh Dhanoa, PVSM, AVSM, YSM, VM, ADC and thus my dream of meeting all three service chiefs of defence forces fulfilled.

The climate in Delhi was getting colder as days passed, however the competition and the activities of the camp went on uninterrupted despite the bad weather. We also had an opportunity to have dinner with the Chief Minister of Delhi Shri Arvind Kejriwal. The greatest honour as a cadet in my life was when I was selected as pilot to escort the Hon’ble Defence Minister of India Smt. Nirmala Sitharaman.

On the 14th and 15 Jan we were taken for Delhi Darshan and visited places like Qutab Minar, India Gate, Rajghat, Red Fort and other historically important places. On 22 Jan we visited Rashtrapathi Bhavan and had an interaction with

Hon’ble President of India His Excellency Ram Nath Kovind. As part of the Republic Day celebrations the Rashtrapathi Bhavan was tastefully decorated and it was a sight to behold. We were awaiting for the moment on 28th Jan as Prime Minister’s rally was scheduled on this day. Finally at the PM’s rally at the point of ‘Daine Dek’ I could not believe my eyes as I saw our Prime Minister so closely watching us proudly marching.

As all good things come an end so fast, so was our camp on 31evening we boarded the train for our return journey to Kerala. We reached Thiruvananthapuram on 2nd Feb and attended de-kitting camp in Trivandrum. During this time we had a number of VIPs visiting us and talking to the contingent. On 6th Feb we were taken to the majestic Raj Bhawan for an ‘at home’ function with Governor of Kerala Justice P Sathasivam. We also had interaction with Education Minister of Kerala Prof C Raveendranath.

Finally on 7th Feb with a heavy heart we said good bye to all our friends with whom we spent all the happy and difficult moments throughout the camps. It was a proud moment for me to realise that the RD camp was over. I take this opportunity to extend my deep gratitude to the Principal Col A Rajiv, OC NCC Lt Cdr Parichay Kalra, ANOs, PI Staff, and all the other supporting staff for having helped me to fulfil my long cherished dream of attending the Republic Day Camp.

he Indian army is the largest component of the Indian Armed Forces. The president of India is the supreme commander of the Indian Defence Forces. Indian Army originated from the Armies of the East India Company which eventually became the British Indian Army and finally became the Indian Army after Independence. The units and the regiments of the Indian Army have glorious history and have participated in many wars. The primary mission of the Indian army is to ensure National Security and Unity. The Indian Army has always defended the country from external aggression and helped maintain peace and security within its border. It also organises humanitarian activities and rescue operations during natural calamities and other eventualities. The Indian Army, Air Force and Navy have been involved in four major wars with our neighbour Pakistan and one with China. We should be proud of the Indian Army and its brave soldiers.

The Greatest

was found extraordinary. During his childhood, an envious attack by his flinty opponents resulted in a very serious injury in his left leg. But that didn’t stop him as he rose like a phoenix from the ashes with a metal bar inside his leg to become a part of the state football team and then lead it from the front to lift is first ever ‘Santhosh trophy’ – the India’s most coveted football trophy after a wait of nineteen long years. Sathyan- the Captain carried the hopes of lakhs of people upon his shoulders during the tournament and the pain he suffered never hampered the confidence and ‘believe in yourself’ attitude of this gallant captain.

He then had his engagement and a very beautiful and nifty Juliet became part of his life. She supported and cared for him throughout the rest of his life. Part of the then Kerala Police he never lost his love and passion for the game. He then received in invitation to play for the Indian team.

This defender eventually became the Indian Football team’s captain and represented the country for eighty-three international matches and won major titles for the country. And during all these years the injury in his leg was excruciating and finally it festered the career of this legend. But he could never accept that and he tried to continue playing for the Nation till the Sports Authority’s decision prevailed. Finally the injuries on his leg became highly painful and the final solution was the amputation of the kernel of this footballer.

But Sathyan was never be able to control his

emotions and his love for the game. Unable to accept the reality Vatta Parambil Sathyan finally committed suicide in 2006 at Chennai Railway Station. As for Sathyan, life without football was equal to having no life at all. Such was his love for the game. His body was wrapped in tricolour before the last rites as a mark of respect to this football legend.

To describe Sathyan’s untimely death in the simplest words possible it would be like depression had made him receive the red card of life.

We are very much indebted to such a personality for raising Indian football to its highest pedestals.

In the years from 1992 to 1996 V.P. Sathyan as captain of Indian team earned India a place in the top100 nations for the first time and under him the Indian football touched its zenith.

A big salute to you sir…

ife is never easy for those who dream big. The name of ‘V.P Sathyan’ would be most probably be unfamiliar for the youngsters especially from the southern part of God’s own country. So for those people I bring out V.P. Sathyan, a football legend who captained the Indian football team for four years and for whom life without football was unimaginable. I am well aware of the fact that what I scribble down here would just be a small part of this legend’s life. But at the same time I am pretty sure that all those who read between the lines here would definitely fall in love with this man for whom football was life and life was football.

Born in Malapuram where the people consider football as a religion, Sathyan’s calibre

The Ashoka Seniors The new academic year ushered in a plethora of opportunities for the mighty yellow crusaders. We set our sights on each and every competition and vowed to bring it into our kitty. The multifaceted yellow army were disappointed and when the coveted cock house trophy eluded us. However we put forward a brave fight and ensured that we could keep our head held high. We excelled in Academics, co-curricular and physical activities alike. Even though we couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t place the yellow footprint on the first few trophies, we finally ended our trophy drought by bagging the runners-up trophy in the Athapookalam competitions. Stalwarts like Aravind J, Ajay Sankar and Ashwin A Nair were instrumental in this triumph. From then on, it was a period of Ashokian dominance. We had abundance of oratory talents and the fiery orations of cadets Rohith Raj, Joel Alex, and Sooraj Krishna ensured that we left an indelible mark in the English & Hindi debates as well as in the extempore speech competition.

The sustained Ashokian efforts finally paid rich dividends and the Malayalam debate trophy landed into our hands. Thanks to the stellar performance by cadets Albert Benjamin and Ashlay Abraham who bagged the first and second positions respectively. We proved our mettle in the physical field too as we finished runners-up in the athletics championship. The invaluable contributions of cadets Ajay Rathod, Akash P, Naveen Hari, Gogul M, Rajnish Rajan and Nandagopan N proved the difference between the yellow brigade and the rest of the houses.

In the cross country race, the yellow dare-devils showed immense grit and determination. We had a slew of first-place in literary competitions like essay writing competitions in which cadet Naveen Hari bagged first in English and Cadet Ananad Krishnan got second in Malayalam. In the Calligraphy competition too, cadets Gokul M and Vipin Kumar bagged first in Malayalam and second in English respectively. This trophy bonanza helped the yellow house to clinch the co-curricular trophy. We had our fair share of near misses and heartbreaks too as even though we had strong teams in football, basketball, volleyball and hockey comprising of talented players like Sreeram Aneesh, Ashin Roshan, Akash P, Ajay Sankar Jayanarayanan and Naveen Hari we couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get any trophies in spite of our best efforts. As discipline is the cornerstone of any military institution, we did not slack in that particular aspect as we got the runners-up trophy

for discipline. Academically too, the yellow crusaders were brilliant. Two of our cadets, Akash P and Jayanarayanan MS cleared the UPSC examinations and brought laurels for the house. There were no dearth of academic maestros too as cadets Rounak Raj, Manjeet Kumar, Rajnish Rajan, Abhin Jayakumar and Sudeepdharan shone brilliantly. Ultimately, even though the cock house trophy eluded us, we had some proud moments and hope to add the coveted trophy to our trophy cabinet next year. The Ashokians' zeal for glory remains undiminished and we sign off this Academic year nurturing hopes of going further in the years to come and stamping the yellow footprint in each of our endeavours.

The Nehru Seniors The year 2017-18 was the beginning of a new chapter for Nehruvians with the arrival of Mr Jestine KJ as our new House Master. A black panther who is hungry is always dangerous as it can hunt its prey down. So was the attitude of the Nehruvians for the year 2017-18. Five of them Kishore, Jason, Subin, Abhijith and Arvind cleared UPSC and Subin SB joined National Defence Academy. That was a milestone achievement for the Nehruvians. Nehruvians also excelled in academics by winning the Academic Trophy. Two of our class X cadets Viresh and Dilip scored 99% in Maths and the Jaison excelled in class XII in the CBSE Board exams 2018.

Nehruvians not only showed their excellence in academic but also in the field too. The house is filled with talented players in various games.

Nehruvians bagged runners up trophy in Volleyball. Vidhu, Neeraj, Tashan, Kishore, Niketh, Abhijith, Kiran, Naveen, Anjay Vinod were the players who out shined others in various games. Cdt Naveen, Kiran Chacko, Sidharth represented the school in Loyola and Navajeevan for Basketball Championship Nehruvians sweated it out to come second in the PT competition. We performed well together as a team during the cross country but we missed out by a whisker. Athletics was an enthralling event for the Nehruvians.

The Prasad Seniors W

e the green warriors have done it yet again. Sheer hard work and dogged determination had brought the cock house trophy to our folds for the seventh consecutive year.

The ever reigning champions began their epic run by taking home the English debate trophy.

Thanks to the crew led by Dhanvin Vinod and Adrian and supported by Aaron and Aswin. The jaw dropping team spirit displayed by Kashyap R, Manoj, Abhishek A and Govind P ensured that the football trophy never parted ways with us. Cleanliness is next to godliness and so the almighty bestowed upon us the much deserved cleanliness trophy.

Next in our array of achievements was the Hindi debate trophy won by cadets Shashank and Aditya Dubey who were fully geared up with their arguments. Persistence and persever-

ance were also the driving force behind us lifting the coveted cross country trophy. Despite being second in the inter house basketball, the sterling performance by Andrene M and Nithin Sreekumar were the highlight of the finals. Another feather was added in our cap when cadets Shilpa Rajiv and Dhanvin Vinod brought laurels to the school by lifting the Col NJ Nair AC, KC memorial Inter School English Debate trophy.

Even though we could not win the athletics trophy, the talents displayed by Nithin Sreekumar, Kashyap R, Abhishek A, Abhishek MS, Manoj K and Rohit Gireesh made significant change in favour of us in the score board. Even though we had a few set back in stage events, we went ahead with our head held high and took home three prizes in English extempore speech competition. Cadets Andrene M, Adrian D and Manoj Kumar won the first, third and Principal’s special prize respectively We also had scribes who excelled in calligra-

phy. Cadets Kashyap R and Sreeram stood first in Malayalam and English calligraphy competition respectively. The UPSC examination was yet another area in which three of our green warriors; Prakash, Abhinesh and Manoj managed to overcome.

‘Quitters never win and winners never quit’.

The green warriors always follow this adage and it helped the Prasadians to lift the mother of all trophies, the Cock House trophy for the seventh consecutive year. Before we end the mighty green warriors thank everyone from the bottom of our heart who stood with us in all our efforts towards success. We look forward to sail into greater heights of glory and achieve perfection in all activities in the coming years.

“Refusing to be ordinary, settling for not less than legendary” is our guiding principle

The Shivaji Seniors The new senior house, Shivaji Seniors, was not considered as formidable opponents by others. But the roaring lions of Shivaji proved otherwise. We began the year by smashing our way to the volley ball trophy under the captaincy of Cadet Sharath R Thoppil. Cadet Amarnath Prathap Singh was adjudged best player of the tournament. House captain Vikash Kumar yet another Shivajian, was adjudged the best player in football tournament. The Games trophy naturally found its way to Shivaji. When we were crowned with the basketball trophy, the School

stood witness to a rare distinction of Cadet Amarnath Pratap Singh bagging his second best player trophy in basketball. The brilliant minds of Cadet Mohammed Bilal, Sal SS, Karthikeyan, Nived PC, G Sreeram, Akash P, Anshu Kumar and Anand AS were instrumental in our academic excellence. The house also stood second in the

NDA trophy. Thanks to the efforts of Mohammed Shah, Randhir Kumar, Vikash and Akshay.

The efforts of Cadet Chandan Kumar is worth mentioning as he bagged the first prize in Hindi calligraphy and essay writing competitions. The second prize bagged by school Cadet Captain Piyush V complemented by the efforts Cadet Adwaith MS, Ayush Raj and Hisham helped the house to win the second position in English debate. The house also stood second in the Hindi debate with the splendid heart rendering efforts of Cadet Chandan Kumar, Vikash, Amardeep and Ankit Kumar in which Cadet Ankit Kumar got the individual first prize. The spontaneous and thought provoking speeches made by Cadet Agam, Justine Jiby, Vikash and Anshu ensured that the house stood first in the Inter house extempore speech competition. The high level endurance and team spirit shown by the Shivajians got them the runners up trophy in the cross country. The mammoth score of 105 points was

well ahead of other houses in the athletic championship largely because of the efforts of Cadet Vikash, Amarnath, Yadu, Agam, Shivsagar, Chandan, Aswin, Adwaith MS., Mohammed Shah, Randhir, Dawn Koshy, Sal SS, Goutham Giri and Vishwajeet Kumar. House captain Vikash Kumar was adorned with the best athlete’s trophy. We are proud to place on record that two of the Shivajians, Piyush V and Mohemmed Shah were awarded the best all round cadet trophy during the ‘Passing Out Parade-2017’. House captain Vikas Kumar was also awarded the best sportsman of the year during the same function.

Even though we fought tooth and nail for every trophy, we were disappointed to have slipped the cock house trophy from our hands by a whisker. We the Shivajians hope to make a glorious comeback in the coming year with more wit, vigour and valour. Fullfilling our slogan ‘With thee at the helm we will win at the end’.

The Cariappa Sub Juniors W

e the Cariappans, started the academic year 2017-18 with the intention to control and conquer everything. The tiny purple army of 63 knights started the year with utmost devotion and dedication.

Our endless journey started with our smart cadets Sunny, Manish, Virat and Gautam, who powered the football team to runner-up position. The skill of cadet Rufus and cadet Devanarayanan made our presence felt in the inter-house calligraphy competition. The cleanliness of our house is done meticulously. During the cleanliness competition we maintained the house in a ship shape manner and eventually lifted the cleanliness trophy.

The tireless perseverance and enthusiasm that we had, made us stand first in the inter house PT Competition. Even though we put up a spirited fight led by cadet Prince Kumar, we couldn’t clinch the cross country trophy as we lost the first position by a very narrow margin.

The exorbitant style and dramatic skills of cadets Adwaith , Milan and Rufus brought us glory as we had a ‘clean-sweep’ in the inter-house recitation competition in which we were adjudged the champions. We were all the more exhilarated as all the three participants bagged individual positions.

Even though the athletic trophy was not in our hand, we did make a mark as our dynamic cadets Sunny, Virat, Gautam, Jufan and Manikandan won prizes in various events. With sheer confidence and utmost discipline in all our activities, our cadets were exemplary in all competitions.

We Cariappans proved to others that we are good not just at field, but is

even better when it comes to academics as we jointly lifted the academic trophy with VKKM House. The brilliant academic performance of cadets Hrishikesh, Karthikeyan, Amal V, Sabarinath, Manish, Devmadhav, Arpit and Adwaith Prashanth is worth mentioning.

To mark the year end we Cariappans staged the cultural extravaganza ‘Drishya 2017-18’, which was a sight to behold. All the inmates actively took part of this extravaganza and showcased their high potential and talents which was well applauded by the Principal. Even though we won so many prizes and trophies, we were not lucky enough to lay our hands on the most coveted ‘Cock House Trophy’. We are never go easy warriors and will strive hard to make an all-out efforts to improve our performance next year as we believe in the motto “We grow from our failures, we learn from our mistakes, we the Cariappans.

The Rajaji Sub-juniors We the mighty Rajajians have passed yet another marvellous year 2017-18 with spectacular performance in all school activities. We started off our endeavour by bagging first, second and third house positions in Hindi, English and Malayalam calligraphy competitions respectively.

We had our finest athletes, Cadets Chandan, Osama, Gopal, Shubham, Amit, Anand and Bhumikesh who gave their best and placed the house the runners-up in athletics. We also had the PT competition in which all of us displayed our physical fitness to the best of our abilities,

but we lost our grip and ended up last. However we have our hope in the long distance running event, the cross-country trophy. We, the energetic and the most determined Rajajians proved ourselves the best in unity and teamwork by clinching the cross-country trophy. Besides two of our ace runners Chandan and Osama secured

first and third individual positions in the above event. The Inter-house literary competition made the way for the display of our poetic and recitation skills.

In the recitation competition, three of our participants cadets Yaduraj, Manav and Rishikesh participated and from which cadet Manav secured second position. Rajajians proved their worth in cultural activities as well. The energetic and talented cadets of Rajaji had presented a cultural extravaganza ‘BRAHMASTRA 18’ for which we were admired by many. As part of our Onam Celebrations, we had prepared a beautiful floral carpet to welcome the king Mahabali for which we won the second prize. In the field of games, we had two main events, first the football in which all our star players cadets Joel, Osama, Chandan, Shubham and Aditya fought well till the last minute, but unfortunately could not bag the trophy.

In cricket, it was our turn to strike back. Our house cricketers; cadets Osama, Balwant, Vivek

and others fought valiantly and brought laurels to the house by emerging as the champions. Cadet Osama Alam was adjudged the best player in cricket. The team spirit that we showed, made us the runners up in the overall position in the games.

Coming on to the academics, we all did well in studies but couldn’t bag the academic trophy by a very small margin. The efforts put in by our brilliant cadets; Yaduraj, Joel, Manav, Osama, Deepak, Santhanan, Rishikesh, Aditya and others are worth mentioning.

We, the Rajajians cherish this wonderful year and thank the almighty for all the blessings that have been showered on us. We all continue to strive hard to achieve the pinnacle of glory in the years to come. We will continue to strive hard to achieve greater heights of victory in the years to come.

t was raining heavily. The dark clouds covered the sky and it gave an eerie feeling. Sam was fed up. He was sitting near the window in his room. He required some spark from his imagination. He needed to submit the draft of his story the next day. Sam was a bachelor, living in an old house in the avenue. The neighbours called him ‘eccentric Sam’ due to his abnormal behaviour. Sam took such comments in a sportive manner and did not bother much about it.

That day was special for him because if he could give the draft of his story and the editor was satisfied with it, he would get a job. Thereby he would get a means to earn his bread and butter. As he was sitting near the window, he heard a sound. It was from the attic. Sam shouted, “Who is there?”

‘Meow! came the reply. “Oh! Morty, get out from there!” shouted Sam. “This silly cat”- sighed Sam. He looked outside just for a moment. He did not realize that the action he just did was the greatest mistake he had done. He saw a shape. He looked closer. Boo! He nearly jumped out of his skin. It was his friend from the old school. Sam couldn’t believe his eyes. It was Marco. He got out of his chair and opened the door. Marco was dripping wet. Sam rushed to him and hugged him without asking anything. Marco hugged him back. Sam ushered Marco inside. He fetched him a towel for wiping the head and they began exchanging pleasantries. Marco and Sam were best of friends in the school. There was competition between them for everything, be it sports, academics, debates, essays so on and so forth. Academically Marco was a little brighter than Sam. So after the schooling, he joined the army. It was during the time of World War II. Marco went for war and after that there was no contact with him. It was after a gap of ten years they are meeting each other. Sam was

I found your telephone number, so I called you.” “Hai, How are you?, This is a pleasant surprise. “I’m fine, why? I find happiness in your sound. Anything special? “I have a visitor. on cloud nine. He couldn’t believe his eyes. Sam said about his life for the last ten years. After the college, he couldn’t stay anywhere and get a good job. His parents passed away in an accident and his only brother who was in the army also died in the war. His life was full of miseries and misfortunes.

He worked really hard to earn his daily bread and lived in an old rented house. A visitor like Marco was very important guest for him. At this juncture the phone rang in the room. Sam apologised to Marco and picked up the phone.

“Hello” “Who is there?” The answer came from other side. “This is your old friend, Robben. I found your telephone number, so I called you.” “Hai, How are you?, This is a pleasant surprise. “I’m fine, why? I find happiness in your sound. Anything special? “I have a visitor”. You won’t believe who it is!” replies Sam. Robben says “who is it?” Sam readily replies, “Our old classmate, Marco”. "Have you gone mad?” screamed Robben. “What happened?” asks Sam. “He passed away in the war!!!” long ago! Sam’s face turned pale. A big lightning strikes and the lights goes out. There was pitch darkness all around…

“H

ey, would you like to watch a movie on my tab?” said Anurag. “Oh, not now dude”. I said. Even though it was a tiresome travel, back home for my vacation, I was occupied with a nice book ‘The fault in our stars’ by John Green.

The train was always noisy with vendors making a hell out of the place. It was not so soothing to have the hot breeze shrivelling in through the windows.

I could feel my shirt sticking to my back with sweat gushing out although. Still I was Okay because I was a guy who would live anywhere in the world if I have a good book to read and food to eat. I was in the last semester of my B. Tech at a college in Pune. The college was indeed a nice place with lots of friends and fun. I actually enjoyed a lot there and wouldn’t even feel the pressure of studies. I come from a poor family background, with my father working in a village in Kerala. He works so hard to send money to me to meet my requirements.

By around 4’o clock in the evening I was up with the book. I was in the hangover of the book and got lost in the thoughts. As the thoughts flashed through my mind I suddenly recollected my childhood days in a distant village in Kerala. It was full of fun and frolic. Life was simple and I spent time playing around with my friend from dawn to dusk I had my primary education in a mixed school in my native village. I interacted well with my friends both boys and girls and days passed so fast. In my high school I studied in a boys’ school. In the

By around 4’o clock in the evening I was up with the book. I was in the hangover of the book and got lost in the thoughts. As the thoughts flashed through my mind I suddenly... beginning I was disheartened as I lost all my old friends. The college where I continued my studies was also was a men’s college.

Suddenly I was out of my thoughts when somebody patted at my back it was Anurag with two packets of dinner in his hands. It was half past nine so we had our dinner and soon we were off to bed.

I got up at the middle of the night as I felt thirsty. I took my water bottle out and unfortunately it was empty. I checked my watch and it was half past one. After a while the train came to a halt. I somehow managed to reach the door of the compartment as many passengers were sleeping on the path.

I walked through the platform and found that all the water points were empty. I was at the second last water point to be dejected with no drop of water. But finally I saw the last water point at my

site in the darkness. I walked, towards the water point. As I was nearing towards the point, I heard a feeble shrill sound. I couldn’t make out what it was. When I checked the water point, I was so lucky to have some water to quench my thirst . I gulped the water as fast as I could and I had a sigh of relief.

As I quenched my thirst, I got curious about the sound which continued even now. When I moved further towards the darkest corner, it became louder and louder. I found hundreds of sacks piled up at the corner. The sound grew louder as I neared the pile of sacks. The curiosity in me was at the verge of eruption like a volcano. I walked between the piles of sacks and to my utter disbelief I found three men cornering a woman who was crying for help. I could see the evil intention of those men and I acted quickly. I ran towards them shouting and all of a sudden they just vanished into the darkness. I went near the woman and she was almost unconscious. Her clothes were fully torn. I covered her body with my coat which I was wearing. I took her to the station master and told him about the incident. The station master arranged an ambulance and she was taken to the hospital. I sat on the chair of the platform with a feeling of achievement or may be feeling of having done something good. Suddenly the sound of the siren of my train was blown and I went inside the train, with the hope that the lady will get well soon and had the satisfaction of having saved the life of an innocent woman.

Jonath Vipin 5328

P

into was a boy of XII and lived with his parents in Madhya Pradesh. He was a lazy boy and he used to waste time by loitering around.

He tremendously depended upon his parents for everything. He being the only son had many concessions from his parents side as well. His mother being a little over affectionate even used to do his homework as he was so lazy.

On one fine day, pinto’s parents went out to buy groceries. Suddenly from the opposite side of the road, a speeding ambulance came and hit them, taking them a few metres ahead. They were immediately taken to the hospital by the same ambulance and rushed to the ICU. By this time the doctors identified the injured persons and Pinto’s grandmother was informed. The doctors tried hard to keep the bodies alive but due to ill fate they couldn’t make it. Pinto was shocked when he heard this. He was gravely depressed.

He couldn’t accept the reality. He didn’t know what to do. Now he had only his grandmother to look after him. He was depressed for many days. One day a boy came for playing with Pinto.

He decided to go out and play. He asked the boy where his parents were. The boy said that he was an orphan and he lived in a nearby orphanage.

That day Pinto realized that he was not the only one who had similar problems. At the age of 13 he decided to take up life’s challenges. It was a miracle to find a boy of thirteen with so much maturity. He used to think about his mother who always used to say, “Work hard always and be a successful person, then your mother will be proud of you.” He, from then onwards decided to overcome every obstacle and be second to none.

He was soon the all-rounder of his school and

72 / / S ainik S cho ol K a zhako ot am

his teachers were very proud of him. He learned to do everything on his own and the food was provided by his uncle. Many years later, Pinto became a surgeon, and got married. He was able to take care of his family on his own. “This is my story” said Pinto to his son who was twelve years old. After narrating his past, Pinto told his son never to be lazy. His son became very proud of his father and he paid him great respect. He realized that nothing was impossible, life will have many drawbacks, many crucial problems but if you work hard you can achieve your dreams. Life can pull you down from heights to depth but it is up to you to stay on track and pursue your goal. The name of Pinto’s son was Shine. He also took upon life’s challenges bravely and followed his father’s footsteps. Pinto used to go to his parents’ grave

every Sunday to pay respects. He was thankful to god for everything. If this incident had not happened then Pinto would not have been successful. On the day of his parents’ death, he used to curse god for taking away his happiness and his smile. But now standing near the grave he is very thankful to god for everything that has happened in his life. He was also so much proud of himself for being very responsible and serious at a very tender age. Owing to this incident Pinto was able to bring about a change in his life. Life is full of surprises and a small mistake is enough to take away all your wealth and happiness. But it is upto us to take things to our stride and overcome the obstacles with will power and determination

THE BANK ACCOUNT

Sidharath Gopan, 5323

T

ime is a bank. Every morning it credits you with 88,400 seconds. Every night it writes off whatever you have failed to utilise that day. It never carry balances. It allows no over draft. Each day it opens fresh and new accounts for you. If you fail to use the day’s deposits the loss is yours and if you use the day’s deposits wisely the gain is yours as there is no going back. There is no drawing against tomorrow. You must live in the present on the day’s deposits. Utilise it wisely so as to get the most in health, the most in happiness, the most in success which makes your everyday memorable and most beautiful for you. So the best thing to remember is the clock is running faster than our thoughts, so don’t give up, chase the time with what you can and what you have, be successful and prosper in your life. Many with great potential, skill and ability do not understand the value of time:  To realize the value of one year, ask a student who failed and is repeating the year.  To realize the value of month ask a mother who gave birth to a pre-mature baby.  To realize the value of one week, ask the editor of a weekly newspaper.  To realize the value of one hour, ask the lovers who are waiting to meet.  To realize the value of one minute, ask a person who missed the train.  To realize the value of one second, ask a person who just had an accident because of the carelessness of a second.  To realize the value of one millisecond ask the person who missed the gold to silver in a 100m sprint.

eferee blew the whistle and the match came to an end.

It was a Colombian, who scored the winner for my side. His name was Carios Sidan and he called me manager. He was the star player of our club and he could make it to all the football lovers of our village. The good time did not stay for long as the news of Carios being injured spread across the village. He required a surgery and I managed to get some money from my friends and his surgery

was over and was taken back to my home. My mother looked after him with the support of my neighbours. He later revealed to me that he was not a Colombian by birth but was a refugee. He had a sister, younger brother and a grandmother.

His parents lost their life during an internal war in the country. He did everything possible to make his family happy. Later he appeared for a selection and was sent to India. He them happened to be in my club. His condition was worse as compared to mine as he now had nothing to send home. Later he came to know that his grandmother passed away and his siblings were all alone in the other part of the world. He taught us that the water we waste here cannot be tolerated as he paid for everything. Later we nursed him well and he fully recovered from his injury. Finally he made our team into finals and won the coveted trophy. He was then send back home.

During the journey to Airport we understood his willingness to stay back in the beautiful happy world like ours but it was his basic requirement to go back home and make his family out of the dirty world to a new one. Through this story we understand the suffering that people undergo in their life leaving their most important things of life (the family) who are far way with the hope of bringing up their standard of living. This story leaves behind the unknown or unnoticed way a person more precisely a human leads his life in the world we call ‘Earth’.

he protagonist of this story is I myself. This big day of mine is the day when I underwent a nasal surgery for making my nasal septum erect. If my memory is right it was on April 23rd 2016. Right from my childhood days I was looking forward for this day with fear because I knew I should undergo this surgery sooner or later. I always liked to act courageous, but the sight of the ‘Baby Memorial Hospital’ made me half-unconscious.

From the very beginning I had a very bad relation with this hospital. Every time I went to this hospital, I returned having listed one more incident in thediary of my bad experiences.

On 20th April 2016, I was not well when I woke up and the condition worsened in the afternoon. I was feeling drowsy and was very weak. My mother rushed me to the hospital as I was falling into dizziness. The world seemed to reel around me and I couldn’t see or hear any thing. The next thing I heard was “He needs an immediate surgery”. Oh! My God! It would have been the most unpleasant word of my life time.

Surgery was like a nightmare to me. For god’s sake I never wanted to lie on that stretcher in the operation theatre, with masked people standing around me with their knife, and piercing their knife into my nose and … No! Never! “I don’t need an operation” I tried to convince my family, but my parents forced me and I had no option. Finaly the date was fixed 23rd and with two days ahead for the big day. My mind was filled with various kinds of thoughts. I dreamed of my parents who supported me throughout my life, I dreamed of the haunted operation theatre filled with various supernatural elements and I even dreamed of me lying inside the coffin due to improper anesthesia. I dreamed again and again, and my dreams carried me to my dooms day 23rd April. I felt my heart beat going up. I was not at all set because I knew something horrible was waiting for me. My parents tried to console me with good and kind words. Time flew by and the next thing I knew, I was in front of that big hospital. The smell of medicines and the aroma of tincture rushed into my nose as reached the hospital. We went to a ward and settled down ourselves. After some time some nurses came to me and they checked my blood pressure which was astonishingly very high. My parents constantly asked to me stay calm and told some

‘cooked up’ stories. After half past nine in the morning a nurse brought a stretcher and I was shifted on to it. I tried to be calm and composed and finally I was taken to the operation theatre. I prayed god, for making everything alright. I tried to sleep, but my mind was adamant. It wanted my eyes to see everything. The operation theatre had a musty smell and I felt to vomit. I did not stop thinking, because I knew my blank mind will make me weak. After some time I saw some doctors near me and they spoke to me very nicely.

They patted me and boosted my confidence. I felt so happy with their kind words. Next moment a nurse gave me an injection and I found my courage crumpling down bit by bit to the floor. The doctors seemed to be hyperactive and I noticed a nasty smile in one’s face. One of them placed a mask on my face and asked me to breath in the gas. With the obedience of a sheep under the lion’s claw, I did what he told me and then I felt my eyes going down and down. I woke up and saw pleasant white light. I sensed a big bandage

on my face and suddenly I realised the fact that everything was over. I even saw my parents standing nearby which boosted my lost energy.

I gained some courage and told my brother that I was brave enough to go through the whole ordeal. It is all over now and I try to forget it every time when its comes into my mind.

An Elusive Dream

I was so thrilled in the hope that I would get a chance to play in our home ground with the support of our batch mates and friends.

I eagerly attended the practice sessions.

Some of my friends were also there with me.

ven since I joined Sainik School, I have always dreamed of becoming part of the south zone football team. When I joined in class six there was one vacancy for a player in the subjunior team. I went for the selection but was not selected because I was underaged. The following two years South Zone competition were hosted by our school. I was so thrilled in the hope that I would get a chance to play in our home ground with the support of our batch mates and friends.

I eagerly attended the practice sessions. Some of my friends were also there with me. We planned various strategies of attack, while we were having our extra diet exclusively for the South Zone teams.

But things changed within a couple of days. I was down with fever and the doctor confirmed that I had dengue fever. I felt disappointed once again.

My parents consoled me telling that, I would get chance in the coming year. That year our junior team won the match. I was so happy but the fact that I couldn’t be part of the winning team pricked me so much.

Next year a new coach came to our school to give practice for our football team. He gave

us thorough practice. He advised me to take “Pazhamkanji” as it would increase my stamina.

With the single hope of playing in the south zone, next day onwards, I was eating “Pazhamkanji” as my breakfast. I thought nothing would stop me this time from achieving my dream. But destiny had decided otherwise. That evening I had to attend an extra class. We were just playing around with our friends before the class. As I was running along the steps, I slipped and I fell down. I heard a cracking sound from my left hand which, hit the ground.

I became dizzy for a while. Suddenly my father was informed and he rushed me to the hospital.

The X-ray showed the broken area clearly and the doctor advised for the immediate surgery on the next day. My parents had no words to console me because they knew how badly I wanted to go for the game. But this time I felt so calm and peaceful at heart. I understood that god has got his own plans for me. But I will never lose my hope. I will always be after that elusive dream till I attain my goal. And I understand that “Every pain gives a lesson and Every lesson changes a person”

he sports world stood aghast in stunned disbelief to see a double amputee participate in the Olympics game with the world’s best runners and reach the semi- finals of gruelling men’s 400 meters. Eighty thousand spectators at the London Olympics 2012 gave the runner a standing ovation. A year later the world heard a shocking news that he shot none other than his girlfriend Reena Steven Camp on Valentine’s Day. Sporting legend Oscar Pistorius who commanded great respect of his countrymen for his courage of odds to win sporting laurels, now stands murdering his fame in shambles. Born on November 22 in Johannesburg without fibula in both his legs, he had both of them amputated below the knee when he was eleven months old.

He took to athletics early in life. His meteoric rise to fame goes like a fairy-tale. As a seventeen year old he won the 200 meter gold and the bronze in 700 meter at Athens Paralympics. At the Beijing Paralympics in 2008 he made a clean sweep of sprinting events by winning the 100, 200 and 400 meter events.

Nicknamed as blade runner for running on artificial legs, Pistorius completed with the cream of able-bodied runners at the London Olympics and stunned the could by reaching the semi-finals of 400 meter.

In a jarring contrast, a year later on a valentine’s day Pistorious stood aghast of murdering his sweet heart Reena Steven Camp an accomplished model and a law school graduate.

Whether the court trial will find Pistorious guilty or exonerate him, there is little doubt. The incidents represent a mighty fall from the pinnacle glory to Abysmal depths of disgrace for the unparalleled talents of this inimitable blade runner.

Fortune Favours the Brave One day a thief was brought before a king.

He was charged with stealing the jewellery from a house. The king asked the thief why he had stolen the jewellery. The thief was full of tears and said, ‘O Lord’ I am not a thief rather I am a farmer. The house from where I stole is the minister’s house who is very corrupt and cruel and treat us like animals. He is forcibly taking taxes from us illegally and not depositing in the treasury.

I tried many times to meet you but the soldiers didn’t allow. Hence I had done all these drama’. The king verified all these facts and found the farmer was true. So he was rewarded appropriately and the minister was punished.

Shithiga Rajan 5548

Your Silence

You kept mum When you had so much in your mind And you called it silence Silence for peace?

Thoughts are crime and thinking is sin.

You embraced them.

Not realizing that even those believed facts, Were thoughts of someone.

At last you realize your silence has made You silent for ever.

A family that laughs together stays together L

aughing together is a way to connect and a good sense of humour also can make kids smarter, healthier and better to cope with challenges.

We tend to think of humour as part of genetic makeup like blue eyes or big feet. But a sense of humour is an acquired quality that can be developed in kids, not something they’re born with.

What’s so funny anyway?

Humour is what makes something funny, and

Nihal Shahil 5653 a sense of humour is the ability to recognize it.

But most of all a sense of humour is what makes life interesting Above all humour is social. That’s why you laugh harder at a funny movie when you see it in the theatre with other people laughing around you. You might even adopt your own old family traditions whether it is wearing matching pyjamas or something else. It will be funny now and may be even funnier in years to come. When you and your kids remember those silly family times.

“Man! What a beautiful word it is!” This beautiful quote from the renowned Russian novelist Maxim Gorky is the most suitable description for a man whom I worship; Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam. Can we ever think of any other man as beautiful as Kalam who is the hallmark of thrilling inspiration and noble ideas?

Abdul Kalam was the biggest source of inspiration that India has seen after Swami Vivekananda.

Born in a humble family at Rameshwaram, Abdul Kalam grew up into a highly skilled engineer.

He dedicated his life to make India equal to the developed nations. He made India proud in the field of Missile Technology. He made a big platform of science and technology by giving training to young engineers and scientists. Through his achievements, he taught the Indians and the whole world a small but big lesson: “Nothing is impossible” India was fortunate to have him as the President of the country. He trained Indians to see big dreams.

He elevated the entire country into the highest peak of inspiration.

88 / / S ainik S cho ol K a zhako ot am

Nithin S Nair 5536 He discovered the essence of all religions and presented it before us. He stood high like a sage, and handed us great ethics. Dr. Kalam was like a full-bloomed flower, spreading the fragrance of dreams all around. He led an active life, leaving everything to others and not wanting anything for himself. He bid farewell to us in the midst of his work while he was delivering a lecture.

His smile, filled with love, humanity and inspiration is immortal. Let us fill our hearts with the glow and brightness of that smile. Let us see big dreams as he advised. Let us create a great India and world at the same time. Let us achieve ‘Mission 2020’ and follow his footsteps.

Out! No Vacancy It was for the first time I was going for an NCC camp. Sitting in the train I remembered how I had not been selected for shooting, however that did not matter much as we three were selected for the TSC along with ten SD cadets at Calicut. When we reached the camp we were told to return to the unit as JD cadets had no vacancy in the camp.

I was really disheartened. Then came the selection for RD Camp. We had missed our PRE-IGC I since it was held during vacation. However we went for selection of RDC at Pangode. Finally we seven were selected for the cultural programme. We had practice sections on every Sundays holidays and late evenings. The camp was well organised and the arrangements were far better than the normal camps. The camp site was located near Neyyar

Akhil Sebastain 5527

Dam and the climate was very cool. The training started early in the morning with parade which continued till breakfast. After breakfast again the drill practice will continue for another two hours in the afternoon we used to have theory classes.

In the evening the cultural party will have rehearsal for cultural programme.

As ill luck would have it, after few days of practice we were told that JD cadets had no vacancy in the cultural team. So we had to try our luck in the drill. We tried hard to put up our best in the drill. Our uniforms were drenched in sweat as we marched up and down. But we were enjoying the camp though we had hard times ahead. One evening our camp commander informed us that the final selection would take place the next day.

So we got up early in the morning and was ready for the parade. Though we were a bit tensed, we did our best in the parade. At the end of the parade the Commanding Officer addressed the cadets and complimented each one of us for putting up a good show. Finally he said that there was no vacancy for JD and JW cadets in the RD camp. My heart sank and I cried quietly. When I reached back the barrack we called at the school and informed NCC Officer that we are not selected. Anyway we had a good time during the camp and we learned a lot from the camp. It was once in a life time experience for me and the lessons which I learned will help me in future.

Key to Success W

hen you run a cross country race, it is the person who has the most will power and endurance who wins the race. Similarly life is a long run and the person with most will power and determination becomes successful. Success may not be in terms of wealth but in terms of happiness. We have many living examples in the world around us. One of them is the legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar. He had to undergo so much stress at the initial stage of his career but he never gave up his passion for cricket. The CEO of PEPSI Co. Indra Nooyi was just a bottle picker when she joined the company. But her hard work and determination made her reach the top. If our freedom ďŹ ghters hadn't the will power to make India free we would have still been under colonial rule. If Thomas Alva Edison had not invented the electric bulb we would have still remained in darkness. So determination, will power and hard work are the keys to success.

Growing Influence of

Mobile Phones T

he facility to talk to your well-wishers from a distant place has always amazed mankind.

In todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fast-paced, global environment, the need for effective communication network is very high. This led to the creation of the first mobile phone by Motorola. The first mobile phone was a handset which was as big as your head. Over the years the mobile phone evolved constantly and the touch screen phone invented by apple which was then called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jesus phoneâ&#x20AC;? came into existence.

This revolutionised the telecom industry.

Earlier the price of mobile phones were so high that the common man could not afford it. But later on mobile phones have become cheaper and affordable. Mobile phones became popular owing to their convenience. It helps to communicate

with your family and friends from any part of the world. Mobile phones help to search anything on the Internet, make work schedule, listen to music and make quick calculations. We can send beautiful photos, videos, enjoy video games and watch movies on the mobile. It has numerous other advantages too. It helps doctors, police and fire force in sending messages quickly.

On the other hand, a mobile phone poses many negative effects for the user in several ways.

Mobile phones emit a high level of radiation that leads to diseases like cancer and tumour.

Overuse of mobile phones have been found to impair eyesight and hearing. Doctors came across a wide range of cases due to the overuse of mobile phones. Overuse of Mobile phones has

G. Sreeram 5317 physical and psychological effects too. Many deaddiction centres have come up in our country in the recent past. Continuous use of these gadgets have found induce violent behaviour and prompts children to commit crimes. Many violent games such as blue whale has lured and trapped youngsters. Many countries have passed laws to control this menace.

Mobile phones should not be condemned, just because people make wrong choices. Using a mobile phone is not bad. It is just like a knife which can be used to cut vegetables as well as to stab a man. Much depends on the users. Excess of anything is bad. People must learn to keep a check on themselves. It will be possible only with a collective effort.

INDIA’S OWN BULLET TRAIN I

ndia’s first bullet train is expected to start its operation in 2023. A diamond quadrilateral of bullet trains to connect the four major cities of Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata and Delhi. The trains on these routes will have a speed of about 160 - 200 km/hr. Each bullet train will cost 60,000 crore. This project is estimated to cost country 10 lakh crores.

“Bullet train” is a nickname given to the first high speed trains of Japan, the ‘O’ series train on the

106 // S ainik S cho ol Ka zhako ot am

Shinkansen. Shinkansen bullet trains are considered to be among the fastest trains in the world.

According to the Detailed Project report (DPR), 25% of the proposed construction will be on elevated corridor, 64% of the work on the surface and 6% as tunnels. This includes the 21km under sea tunnel between Thane creek and Virar in Mumbai. Construction of the elevated corridor will be costlier per kilometre, but it may save the cost of land acquisition.

Japanese expertise in constructing tunnels under the sea bed would come in handy.

Japan and UK both have undersea tunnels. The 53.85 km Seikan Tunnel in Japan is the longest one followed by the 50.5 km channel Tunnel between UK and France.

Felix John 5952

The current status of our Indian trains is that it is the most outdated design in the world today where one or two locomotives pull unpowered coaches along the tracks from the front. The system was in vogue all over the world until the end of the last century. The highest speed for our trains is 110 km/hr. But the newer locomotives and coaches are capable of going up to 160 km/hr.

For high speed railway to operate safely and efficiently all track and associated infrastructure has to be rebuilt or upgraded to support trains running at high speeds without falling. But the basic requirement of high speed rail tracks are fenced tracks, CW Rails, absence of tight curves and many other features which are very important.

Thus we can hope for a faster India with the launching of India’s own bullet train.

Mr KS Antony Dept. of English

Light is dark and dark is beautiful, Beauty is black and black is colourful! There’s beauty in dark and colour in black! Aren’t you able to see it?

Hey, I see things you don’t, And I don’t see things that hurt; That’s a good bargain, don’t you see?

After all, every adversity is an opportunity!

What is white and black but for one’s narrow thought, What is pretty and ugly but for one’s silly perception? To me all is one and one is all, That’s the beauty of being what I am!

dales are but hollow words; Rose and lotus are same except for the thorny stem in one, Man and woman are same but for their dissimilar voices!

Rich and poor are equal to me, Mansions and hutments alike; Villas and pavements do not differ, And milk and water just alike!

Temple and mosque are the same, Ram and Rahim are but one; Isn’t it bliss to see one in all, When all try to see none in all?

Vision creates inhibition, And inhibition creates division; If vision divides and discriminates, Vision is curse and blindness is boon!

He gave us sight to see Him in all, He gave us vision to adore Him in all. But, alas! How we choose to see Him not, Pricks me, pains me and bleeds my heart.

There’s beauty in my ‘sight’, There’s oneness in my perception; There’s strength in my thoughts, There’s joy in my dreams! And that’s the fun of being what I am!!

Appreciate The Things That You Have Marshal of the IAF

Arjan Singh M

arshal of the Indian Air Force Arjan Singh, DFC (16 April 1919-16 September 2017) was Chief of the Air Staff from 1964 to 1969. When I read his biography I was so impressed by him that I decided to write an article on him. For his distinguished service during the Indo-Pak War of 1965 he was awarded the Padma Vibhushan and in 1966 he became the first Indian Air Force Officer to be promoted to the rank of Air Chief Marshal.

After retiring from IAF, he served as a diplomat, politician and advisor to Government of India on defence matters. In 2002, he became the first IAF Officer to be promoted to the five star rank as Marshal of the Indian Air Force equivalent to the Army rank of Field Marshal.

He was born on 16 April 1919 in Lyallpur, Punjab in what was then British India, into a Sikh family. His father and grandfather were also in the armed forces and Arjan Singh was the fourth generation of his family to join the British Indian armed force. In 1948, Singh was married to Teji Singh, a lady of his own community. The couple had a daughter, Asha and a son, Aravind who is in the USA. He was educated at Montgomery, and later entered into the Royal Indian Air Force. College Cranwell and was commissioned in the Air Force as a pilot.

Arjan Singh led No.1 squadron, of Royal Indian

Air Force into combat during Second World War and was awarded Distinguished Flying Cross (DFC) in June 1944. Arjan Singh was Chief of the Air Staff (CAS) and was awarded Padma Vibhushan in 1965. He was just forty five when appointed CAS. He also became the first Chief of Air Staff to be upgraded to the rank of Air Chief Marshal. Arjan Singh took retirement from his service in 1970 at the age of fifty.

In 1971 after his retirement, he was appointed as Ambassador to Switzerland and Vatican. He was also appointed High Commissioner to Kenya. Later he was the Lt. Governor of Delhi and was made Marshal of the Indian Air Force in January, 2002. He led an active life even at the age of ninety eight and continued to take tea and play golf twice a week.

Singh suffered a cardiac arrest in early morning of 16 September 2017. He died at 7.47 pm that evening. He was cremated at Brar square in New Delhi on 18 September with full military honours, including a military fly past by IAF fighter jets and helicopters.

He was an epitome of hard work and devotion to duty. Let’s follow his footsteps to take India ahead.

O

ne day a very wealthy man took his son on a trip to a country side with the purpose of showing him how poor people are in villages.

They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family.

On their return from their trip the father asked his son, “How was the trip?”

“It was great, Dad”.

“Did you see how poor people live?” The father asked.

“Oh yeah”, said the son.

“So, tell me, what did you learn from the trip?” asked the father.

The son answered:“I saw that we have one dog and they had four.

We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden and they have a creek that has no end.

We have imported lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at night.

Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon.

We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go beyond our sights We have servants who serve us, but they serve others. We buy food, but they grow theirs.

We have walls around our property to protects, they have friends to protect them”.

The boy’s father was speechless.

Then his son added,. “Thanks dad for showing me how poor we are”.

Isn’t perspective a wonderful thing? It makes you wonder what would happen if we all give thanks for everything we have, instead of worrying about what we don’t have.

Appreciate every single thing you have!

CALICUT M

y joy knew no bounds when I came to know that I was selected for the National Integration Camp to be held at Calicut from 22 December 2017 to 02 January 2018.

On 21 December I along with 59 cadets of Trivandrum group boarded Janasadabti express bound for Calicut. Capt. Sindu and Hav Kisan from Trivandrum Group escorted us to the camp.

We reached Calicut by about 2 Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; clock and we were warmly welcomed by the staff at the station.

Thereafter we were taken to the camp site that was Farook College Calicut. On arrival at the camp we were given a hot lunch and comfortable accommodation. In the evening we had roll call in which the camp Adjutant Maj Muthu briefed about the camp; Next day morning we had PT followed by breakfast. At 9 Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;clock we all gathered at the

auditorium for the inauguration of the Camp. After the inauguration a short variety entertainment programme by the students of the college added colour to the opening ceremony.

In the evening we had the solo dance competition in which K&L bagged the first position.

Next day morning as usual we had PT followed by drill practice. After breakfast we had lecture classes on various entry scheme to defence forces by Capt.

Ram. It was indeed a very informative talk. In the evening we had group dance competition in which Rajasthan directorate emerged as winners.

On the third day we were taken out for local sightseeing to the historically important places.

As part of this programme we visited the historic Bakel fort which was built in 18th century by the rulers of Malabar. The fort is an imposing structure facing the Arabian sea.

On the following day we had a talk on conservation of wild life by an officer from Forest Department. He also exhibited various species of snakes. His classes particularly focused on snake bite and first aid to be taken in case of a snake bite.

Then we had a lecture by an eminent journalist on his experiences of reporting various international sporting events. He also narrated his experiences of his interaction with legendary footballers like Lionel Messe, Cristiano Ronaldo etc. In the evening we had NIAP competition which was keenly contested by all directorates. Finally it was Rajasthan directorate that emerged as winners.

On the following day we had competitions in basketball, 4x100 m relay etc. On 1st January 2018 we had the camp fire and valedictory function.

Gp Cmdr Calicut group was the chief guest for the closing ceremony. All the participants were given medals and certificates in a colourful function held on the final day It was followed by a cultural bonanza by the participants. Rajasthan directorate emerged as the overall champions and K & L was placed in the second position All good things come to an end so fast, so was this camp. On the final day we packed our thing and bid farewell to all our friends from other states and headed to Calicut Railway station. Finally we boarded Janasadabti and reached Trivandrum station in the afternoon. We were received by the officials from Trivandrum Group and send to our respective Schools.

All in all it was a wonderful experience for me to have attended this camp. I also had the opportunity to interact with YEP cadets. It was once in a life time experience for me. I thank the school administration, ANOs, PI staff and SS coy NCC for all the support and guidance extended to me for attending this camp.

ports can act as a good exercise to maintain good health. When we talk about sports, what is the first thing that comes to our mind? Probably all the different sporting activities that you have either tried or are involved in every day. However there are some great sports that are very low cost and

110 // S ainik S cho ol Ka zhako ot am

something that people do every day of their lives.

Cycling is one sports activity that lets you get a great workout, but at your own pace. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to try and be an Olympian cyclist to get that great workout from cycling. This sports exercise your legs and lower body and gets your heart rate pumping to give you a very good workout.

Albin Saji 6035

Jogging is another exercise that can give you awesome workout at any time of the day. Jogging can incorporate a whole body workout in as little us thirty minutes and helps you burn much calories.

With an array of different sports activities that are available to you choosing the one that is right for you can sometimes be a daunting task. One of the easiest ways to determine which is best for you is your desired level of fitness. Once you have done this then you can make a checklist of the exercises that best fit into your lifestyle and routine. Fun sports exercises can vary greatly. So look into each one carefully and remember to start out slowly.

There is nothing wrong with starting out at the bottom and working yourself to higher levels.

When every medicine seemed to be Bitter for my tummy and nestle eclairs Were used to be more gummy.

When free candies used to exit me Really high, than getting some ones Personal hotspot or a public wifi

My Scariest

Encounter

O

ne night while everyone was sleeping, I woke up after seeing a nightmare.

I can’t precisely recollect what that nightmare was. There was silence throughout the dormitory. I peeped out of the window and saw something which blew my mind off. I saw a yellowish – green glittering object in blackish sky.

That day was a new moon day. There was darkness everywhere. Even the twinkling stars which would appear on any other normal night were missing all except for this yellowish green glittering object. I would surely make out that the object was growing bigger. Only later I could understand that it was nearing me.

I didn’t know what the object was. It was approaching very fast. Then I saw the most unbelievable sight. The object landed on our school

parade ground. Only then I could make out what the object was. It was a UFO. It was what the scientist called as Unidentified Flying Object or UFO. The object that landed on our playground was an ‘Alien aircraft’. I couldn’t believe my eyes. I thought to move out of my house to observe it but as ours was a boarding school, the door was locked during the night. I went and looked at the door only to find it locked. I wanted to call someone and show them the sight. I thought that it would create a huge chaos in the house. So I observed the object carefully. It was saucer shaped and had legs to support its weight. I suddenly saw its door opening and saw a weird creature emerging from there. The UFO and my house was only a few metres apart so I could see clearly how the creature looked like. The extra terrestrial life looked very

Revand. S 5467

strange. The alien was pale yellow and the head was triangular shaped. It had large glittering eyes. I was very scared to see all this alone. Then I saw that the alien was staring at me. My goosebumps shot up and heart began to beat so fast. I didn’t know what to do. I simply lay on my bed and covered my head with my pillow. My adrenaline production boomed up and when I looked up I saw that the UFO was gone. I saw it glittering in the sky.

When I woke up, I told this incident to all my friends but none of them believed me. They all mocked and laughed at me. To me this was of no wonder because I knew none would believe me since I had no evidence. Meanwhile I made my mind that when I become big, I would surely do a research on this. This is the incident which made me to choose my ambition to become an ISRO Scientist. And believe me, it is not a fictional story.

uring a research experiment, a marine biologist placed a shark in a large holding tank and then released several small bait fish into the tank. As you would expect, the shark quickly swam around the tank, and ate the smaller fish. The biologist then inserted a strong piece of fibreglass into the tank as a partition, creating two separate areas. She put the shark in one and put bait in the other. Again, the

116 // S ainik S cho ol Ka zhako ot am

shark quickly attacked. This time, however, it only slammed into the divider. Undeterred it kept trying every few minutes but to no avail. Eventually, about an hour into the experiment, the shark gave up.

This experiment was repeated dozens of times over the next few weeks. Progressively the shark got less aggressive and made fever attempts to attack, and eventually got tired and simply stopped attacking. The biologist then removed the

divider, but the shark didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t attack. It had become conditioned to believe a barrier existed between it and the bait fish, so the bait fish swam wherever they wished, free from harm.

Many of us after experiencing setbacks and failures, emotionally give up and stop trying.

Like the shark, we believe that because we were unsuccessful in the past we will always be so. In other words, we continue to see a barrier in our heads, even when no real barrier exists between where we are and where we want to go. Life is a race that is all about winning. But winning is not the only end-point. In life we should understand no one has ever made great achievements on the very first day. In life we should wait with patience, and just keep giving our best. Life is a long journey and you are the one who is riding the bike on it.

If weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re passing a rutted road it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean we will never face a smooth path. Setbacks are but stepping stones to success.

What will help us mark achievements is selfconfidence. If we believe we can make wonders, we will. When life gives a thousand reasons to quit, just give yourself one more reason to fight back to build your way to glory. It takes a year for a tree to give tasty fruits. Similarly, it will take time to make success. If we want to win in life we should not stop till we finally get what we are looking for.

From

“Gaming Pad” to “Battlefield” J

ust like every youth of this generation Shyam was also very crazy about gadgets and video games. He could hardly score pass marks in his examinations. But he had completed many splendid expectations in the virtual world of video gaming fanatically.

Now Shyam has been promoted to class ten.

His mother, Mrs. Radha is very much worried about her son’s future and on the other hand Shyam’s father, Mr Ram is highly business minded and hardly looks into the domestic matters. As he is always busy in steering his company and products through the slush and rush of global market. Most of the time his new ideas bring glory to his company and was a brilliant business man but never a good father. As it was very hard for his brilliance to answer about his own son’s class, hobby, marks etc.

Like any other worried mother, Radha also took to prayers and offered heaps of coconuts at nearby temple. But that could not make any miracle in Shyam.

It was on such a cloudy day of their family life, a letter came in search of Shyam, seeking his presence at an NCC camp starting on the very next day.

Initially Shyam being highly lethargic refused to go. But Radha without missing that opportunity, rose to the occasion and made Shyam to attend the camp.

The camp went on for 10 days. Highly adventurous, audacious, ardent and daring, the camp experiences brought about a drastic change in Shyam. It taught him a lot by making him sweating through out the day and then again having extra hours of training for breaking the code of discipline. That made him bold, energetic,

Adarsh Mohan 5684

responsible and dynamic.

‘Radha lost his “lethargic” son at that NCC camp and was gifted with a new Shyam with admiring traits. Even after ten years, everybody believes like that. The change in Shyam was of such intensity.

After that also Shyam used play video games but game of a particular genre of wars like Battlefield, counter insurgency, call of duty etc. He started reading books, but books of wars, warriors and defence developments. Similarly he reflected on his ambition of becoming a military officer in each and every thing he did.

Now at the tender age of 24, he is being trained to face the battle field at the Officers Training Academy. With his courage and will power he is all set to fight for his nation. And now he keeps himself ready to face the battlefield which was fought by him many times in video games virtually.

t is hard to stay strong when you feel like giving up. It feels like your world is crumbling down around you and there is no option out. The reason why we think like this is because we forget about the big picture. We focus on the minor things and not the major things that are important in our life. Every day is a struggle if you have a negative mind set when you are wallowing in pity and misery. It is hard to see the good and the true potential that is inside of you.

Do the farmers of our country stop cultivating crops when their one year hard work goes in vain due to natural calamities? No. Then why do we feel desperate after failing just once? Why do we give up? Why do we not try for second time? Because we think once again we will fail.

Life is a race which is all about winning. But winning is not the only end point. We should not give up when we fail in our attempts. Success does not happen in one day. We should keep trying till we succeed in our life. We should understand that no one has made great achievements in the first day. World famous cricket player Sachin Tendulkar did not become popular in one day. It took him lot of failures and challenges to become what he is today. When he faced failures he did not give up; he kept trying till he met success in life. Similarly in our life we should wait with patience. Hard work always

Never Give Up !

“Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all”

pays. Never give up and stay focused on our goal.

We all must have heard about the great scientist Thomas Alva Edison. His success story is really motivating. Edison on his experiments to refine the electric bulb failed thousand times.

But his attitude towards failure was simply great.

He confidently said “I did not fail thousand times. I found thousand ways of how to make an electric bulb.”

In life what matters is our attitude. If we give up easily we cannot taste the flavours of success.

It take years for a tree to give a tasty fruit. Similarly it will take time to make success, sometime even years. The path of success can be rough and hard but if we keep going with confidence the day of success is not really far away.

As the famous adage goes “The winners never quit and the quitters never win”. If we want to win in life, we should not stop till we get what we are looking for. That only help us to achieve our goal in life. If we believe we can make wonders, we will. So we should believe in ourselves before expecting others to believe in us or support us.

When life gives us a thousand reasons to quit, give yourselves one reason to try one more time.

Never give up till you reach your goal.

The

Trip to O

n 26 September 2017 we the 2018 batch of legionnaire, stood before the mess waiting for the bus to arrive. There was a special cacophony all around. Though the crimson of the setting sun was fading but not our goal and enthusiasm. As it was the last tour for us. We started at 6 pm from the school. The party boarded the train at TVM central and reached the Payannur at 9.30 am on the next day. From there we were taken to the Indian Naval Academy. The academy was indeed a royal and regal edifice situated in the most scenic place with state of the art infrastructure. Everything of INA was beyond our expectation.

Firstly, we were taken to the Katari mess.

The breakfast of INA was a classic one. We were accommodated in the squadron along with the cadets.

SCA Manoj Kumar 5221

INA

We were amazed by the discipline and demeanour of each and every cadets we met.

We also visited Capt. (IN) Mahendranath Mulla aquatic complex and saw 10m diving pool. It sent shudder down the spine. The early morning winds of INA was calm and cool. But it was permeated with sweat. Cadets in the PT shed were huffing and puffing at the command of PTIs. It was here we realized leaders are made and definitely they are not borne rather they are chiselled and sculpted.

That day, we visited every nook and cranny of INA. The vast Panini library and the Aryabhata block were made to enhance the intellectual ability of the cadets. In the evening, we were taken to INA beach. The water seems to us as de-planed as cadets. The equestrian club was a sight to behold.

Truly, INA is a place of overall development of youth who is transformed into a gentleman with rigorous training. When we talked to our old boys, we noticed a sparkle in their eyes which gives out the message of never give up attitude, zeal and enthusiasm.

The next day, we went to Bakel Fort. Perched on a hill top it tells us the architectural marvel of those times. It was not merely the placement of rocks and mortars but each rock, as we felt has its own story to tell.

Later in the evening, we went to the beach situated near the fort. The glittering sand and ruďŹ&#x201E;ing water with cool sheen above the water were in a tandem to welcome us. The salty smell of air and the roaring sea gave us the mental tranquillity as we cooled our heels in the water. As the sun faded, we came back to the INA. The next day, we departed from INA to the school. It was indeed a pleasant trip. We thank our masters Mr. Francis, Mr. Gireesh and Mr. Manoj P for taking care of all our needs and accompanying us. Thank you sir.

s there anyone reading this article who never had a single moment in their lives when (i) someone whom you felt really close to, dumped you at your hour of need? (ii) things don’t happen the way you planned and prepared for it (iii) you are caught in one of the most uncanniest and embarrassing situations at a time you were dead sure nobody was around? If you’ve faced any such situations and has been constantly searching for answers as to why it is happening; fear not and continue reading this article with full vigour and spirit as I may have the answer before you.

All the events related to above have been potentially linked to a rather simple yet powerful, hypothetic and psychological law “The Murphy’s law” owing its roots to a theory by a renowned anthropologist and psychologist.

Murphy's law simply states as “If anything can go wrong, it will and to those who felt this law

120 // S ainik S cho ol Ka zhako ot am

working in your life in a big way, rejoice as you are not alone. You may not believe me but in a survey of about 60,000 people in the U.S. questioning the reality and prevalence of Murphy’s Law in real life, a whopping 83% people reported to find things go wrong, unexpectedly. These vital statistics may strengthen the universality and versatility of Murphy’s Law. Now, looking at things from another point of view, a different perspective perhaps, what really acts in the astounding execution of Murphy’s Law? Is it the action of extra-terrestrial of paranormal forces bent on the total annihilation of homo sapiens or is it some undiscovered force of nature as true as life, yet hidden in the deepest layers of science and magic? I would say – “None”.

Absolutely neither of these. My friends, neither of these. I would like to say that, it is our mind’s way of telling us that in this world, nothing comes for

free, that there are greater sufferings before every great success, that failures are the stepping stones to success. So only useful preventive measure suggested to prevent the action of Murphy’s Law is BE OPTIMISTIC and accept that mistakes tend to happen. Mistakes are what make us human and mistakes are human To those of you who have understood something from this article – KUDOS!! and for the sake of the others, here is a postulate related to Murphy’s law to understand Murphy’s law in a deeper context . THE PROBABILITY OF MEETING SOMEONE YOU KNOW INCREASES EXPONENTIALLY, WHEN YOU ARE WITH SOMEONE YOU DON’T WANT TO BE SEEN WITH. Get it? Still not ringing?? Then I suggest you must move to the next article before something wrong happens..........

e are taught about education from the time even when we didn’t know how to spell our names, let alone spell education. And yet, as we grow up, ‘education’ somehow becomes synonymous with school or college. We’re made to believe that education is science and literature, written in the age old books. I do not know how parents can justify the worries they have for their children by saying that they sent them to a good school or gave them good education. The biggest mistake we are all making in this century, perhaps, is the way we perceive the meaning of education.

Now, education is a gradual process of acquiring knowledge. As time goes on, we forget the gradual process part of the definition and simply understand education as acquiring knowledge. This certainly is an irony which shouldn’t be ignored anymore.

It’s so disappointing to hear children say that they’re stressed out because of education. Even though our syllabus is constantly being rewritten to make learning more fun and interesting, it turns out to be a burden on young children. The reason why this happens is not in what is being taught, instead it is in what is not being taught. Children of the 21st century are quick to learn things and know a lot of things at a really young age. If this is the case, what should education really impart to this generation?

One thing that we all know for sure is the loss of moral values. With the advent of the internet age there is an explosion of knowledge. However

it is sad to say that the general talk on internet is always on the dark side. This might be the reason why kids these days are drawn to that side of the internet because we all tend to know more about it and talk more about it, there by igniting child’s curiosity. Even if a child is cut off from the virtual world, the physical world is nothing better to look at. Children now a days learn what not to do instead of what they must do. This is where the importance of moral and social values come in. If schools focus more on teaching children subjects through moral values instead of teaching moral values through subjects, there might be a change in the way children look at the world. If a child’s parents and teachers focus more on his/her mental health, instead of focusing on the child’s level or physical stamina, I think the former would naturally boost up because the child will be more self-aware and therefore mentally strong.

Imbibing moral values should be the real aim of education for this century, because development does not only mean more discoveries in science, technology, economics, etc. Development is when the social evils that bring down all of these discoveries have completely vanished and for this to happen there should be people who have opinions that are strong enough to silence the voices of those who cannot bear to see the world becoming a better place. This does not happen if the most important part of a person’s life focuses more on developing children with likeminded opinions about the world and the universe.

Emerging Trends in India's Foreign Policy

I

ndia has a long and glorious past. For a nation of such a long history, it is rather strange that not once have we invaded any other country.

Well, that really gives us the indication that we are a nation which denounces war and conflict. But... as is the case with most of us humans; we can’t live without socialising. Be it between two individuals or two nations, relationships have always had ups and downs, and sometimes... conflict. The best we can do is to avoid it as long as we can. Well, to do that, we need to have better relationships and since the matters of a country involve the lives of millions of people, it is imperative that a nation has a strong, structured and multi-faceted foreign policy.

Our leaders had high aspirations from the moment we gained our independence in 1947.

The plan was to be a global power which reasoned and thought logically without getting sucked into a greatly ‘Bipolar World’. So, the ‘Non alignment movement’ was born, the brainchild of our late Prime Minister, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru.

Spearheaded by India, many of the third world countries joined our lead and India thus carved out a name for itself in the global arena. But... there is no gain without losses and all our actions

122 // S ainik S cho ol Ka zhako ot am

angered the sole superpower of today’s world, the USA. But the country we were depending on, the USSR, disintegrated without seeing the light of the 21st century.

In this changed international scenario, we needed to re-arrange our cards and formulate a new base for our future policy if we were to realise our dream of becoming a super power.

The dawn of the 21st century brought in many changes. The Nehruvian model of a largely socialist mixed economy was abolished and the doors of our economy were thrown open to the world. But we struggled for a great foreign outlook. We have seen the power shift hands from the grand old congress party to the young blood in national politics, the BJP, with Narendra Modi, an able leader, helming it. At once, a lot of changes in the foreign policy were visible.

India, who largely kept to itself began reaching out to other countries. India began efforts to strengthen the bond in our own neighbourhood, making ‘SAARC’ (South Asian Association for Regional Co-operation) a more closely knit group. This drive is clearly visible in the recent friendship satellite launched by India intended for its neighbours. The ‘Act East Policy’ highlights the importance India gives to the Eastern Countries.

India also began to foray into its powerful developing compatriots by involving more closely in the matters of BRICS which is being closely watched by many economists and foreign analysts.

The Modi government has also started reaching out to many countries hitherto which have been largely avoided by our leaders. Visits to Mongolia, Kazhakistan, Philippines and the likes have opened up exciting and fruitful foreign revenues.

India has also enhanced its influence in the global playing field by securing entry into the MTCR, the Missile Technology Control Regime, an elite group of countries which possess advanced technologies. India’s entry into the nuclear suppliers group is also imminent, as most of the major powers support us barring a few countries.

The fact that most of the other countries support India even though we aren’t a signatory of the NPT highlight our increasing clout in the global arena.

The sole superpower in our world, the USA has historically had leanings towards our wayward neighbour Pakistan. But ever since the NDA government came to power, the USA has started lending more and more support to us, even in matters concerning nuclear power which is rather surprising as they were the ones vehemently opposing our nuclear programmes. India has also not backed down from showing its interest in the USA, as the two countries are finding more and more co-operation in various domains.

India has finally seemed to have broken its shackles of seemingly keeping more to itself.

We have started becoming more outspoken in our matters and is not shying away from our responsibilities as a regional power. If we are to be a major player, we need to be broader in our approach to the other nations. We need to continue all our new trends which are without doubt, only going to make us more powerful and respected.

Having said all these, India as a nation is finally started to become a major player but all our gains externally are going to matter only, If we succeed internally. A country that waste no time in achieving its interests will surely go a long way in making its people happy and contented. But, as of now the whole world is looking on us. Now is the time to strike... a blow which will surely send ripples across the globe.

The Village Market Anupam Dev 5954

A

village market is a place where villagers gather to buy and sell things.

There is one market in every village. A village market is held once or twice a week. It is generally held in an open place. Local traders take their articles to the market. The villagers also bring their things for sale. They sit on the ground in a row and sell their articles. The things of daily use are sold in the village market. The Villagers buy rice, pulses, utensils, seeds, fish, spice and vegetables from the village market. Snake charmers and magicians are also seen entertaining people in the market. In a village market there is much bargaining. There is no fixed rate for anything. The village market is very useful to villagers. It is there they can buy and sell the articles they need. Otherwise they need to go from remote villages to towns. They can save their time, labour and money by visiting village market. So the village market is essential for both, the sellers and the buyers of the villages

My Experiences at the

Officers' Training Academy

I

t was an unforgettable day in my life; 11/11/2017 the day we the lucky lot of six cadets left for the NCC Officer’s Training Academy located at Kamptee near Nagpur in Maharashtra for the SSB screening course for ten fantastic days of true learning and amazing adventure. The SSB screening course is a course which gives potential NCC Cadets an opportunity to get familiarised with the process of the SSB. I was the junior most of 105 cadets from all over India who attended the camp.

We reached the academy on 12/11/2017 midnight and we were welcomed by the staff with hot meals and later we were taken to our barracks which were very neat and tidy. The next day we had classes on personality development. The classes were taken by Mrs. Swati Naidu a member of the Titans Group in Mumbai. It was a very

124 // S ainik S cho ol Ka zhako ot am

memorable session as it taught us how to improve our personality and remain positive at all times.

The Course Officer in Charge was Maj. Prashant Singh chundawat (Shaurya Chakra) who was from the 9 Jat Regiment. We were continuously being motivated and encouraged by other officers of the academy who were there along with us during the 10 day long course.

On the first day of the SSB training camp we had the officer’s intelligence rating (OIR) test after which we were divided into three groups according to our chest numbers. I still remember my chest number that was no. 16 and I was in group 1. Each group had different tasks. I went for the interview first but could not face the interview as time overshot. The next day I went for the GTO task (Group Testing Officer Task). The tasks were very

Shubham S. Sagar 5484

difficult but exciting. Our GTO was Col. Thomas Mathew who was from Kerala. We had the group discussion first and then we had the group task.

Our first task was the progressive group task where a group of 10 cadets had to cross certain obstacles with given loads and then we had the half group task where only half of the group is made to do the task at a time and the last one was the command task. All these tasks equipped as to face the SSB confidently.

We had a number of psychological test which comprised of PPT (Picture perception Test), WAT (Word Association Test), SRT (Situation Reaction Test) and so on. After all these tests, there were few cadets including me who could not attend the interview as there were 105 cadets and each interview took around 30-45 minutes. So, those cadets had interviews on the following days. I was lucky to have my interview taken by a Commodore (Equivalent to Brigadier in Army) who gave me a few tips to improve my way of talking and my personality.

In the evening we had lecture classes on current affairs and also we had lecturates where we had to speak on a given topic. There were a few cadets who had already attended the SSB but couldn’t make it through in their first attempt.

They too had narrated their experience at the SSB. I would like to give a special mention to the camp OIC Maj. P.J. Chand who had given us lot of information on service subjects as he too was an NCC Cadet and he got into the Army through the NCC special entry. He is a Shaurya Chakra awardee for his service in Jammu Kashmir region. He used to conduct surprise fall-ins and gave us long lectures during the night rollcall. Those were the moments I still recollect about my camp experiences.

We were only six from Kerala and the rest were from other parts of India. We thought that we will have tough time adjusting with them but that

was proven wrong. I attended the RDC at Delhi in 2017 but could not mingle with cadets from other states as we were accommodated directorate wise.

But here all of us lived together and enjoyed each other’s company. I made friends with everyone in the camp from Kashmir to Kanyakumari and Gujarat to Himachal Pradesh and we still are in

G. Amrita 5728

The modern world and its modern ways have sculptured the idea of its ‘modern woman’. A woman in today’s world enjoys the freedom and respect that was never given to her for centuries.

Almost every culture in the world considered the woman to be inferior to men in both physical and mental strength, intellect and in handling the family. A woman was always expected to be submissive, and accept all ill treatments meted out to her silently. She was trained from her childhood to be nothing more than a bearer of children and a labourer to toil in kitchen to provide her family with all the comforts of life. She was forbidden to have an individuality and was shackled by chains of social evils like child marriage and illiteracy.

However, in course of time, the women folk also began receiving the benefit of education and realised that they must now rise and make themselves heard. Through endless struggles and strivings, today she has become the ‘modern woman’

The modern woman is an individual. She now looks at herself as an equal to men because of which the society itself has changed its negative attitude to women in general. The modern woman speaks her mind and protests against the injustice in the society. She tries to uplift all the downtrodden and fight against all social evils. Today, she has proved herself to be equal, if not better than men in every phase of life. Politics, science, sports, arts and business are all the domains she has excelled in and made her family and country proud. Today’s women have a dynamic personality. They play multiple roles as mothers, sisters, wives and as bread winners at the same time.

However the women still face atrocities in many parts of our country. She is still considered inferior to menfolk. The society has not completely allowed her to spread her wings. But yes, the strong, bold, women will overcome it all in due course.

touch. The borders among the states were broken and we felt that we are one.

I could meet a few of the old boys from our school who made me feel at home. In the last few days I the junior most was made Camp Senior of the course by the camp OIC to give me a taste of leadership and responsibility. I thank him a lot for

having given me an opportunity to become the camp senior of a course like this. I would also like to thank all my teachers for guiding me throughout the time. I am also highly indebted to the officers of the course and my directorate for all the support and guidance extended to me throughout.

Thank You.

May we know them May we raise them May we be with them

O

The Shadow of my Life Nandana Krishna 5500

n a Sunday evening I was walking along the sea shore looking at the kites flying up in the sky. Children were playing in the shallow waters with their parents. I felt like going there as the sea waves touched my feet and receded.

Suddenly my memories went back to my childhood days .A sweet pleasant voice calling ‘Arnav’ was ringing in my ears.

I lost my father when I was five years old in an accident. After that my mom raised me with great difficulty and struggle even though we belonged to a well-off family. My mom was a doctor and a sweet mom who found enough time to be with her child whenever she demanded for it. She was my best friend forever with whom I shared all my secrets, pains, happiness and my crushes.

She was more than a friend and I never felt the absence of my father. After the death of my father her life was devoted only for me by all means. I imbibed moral strength, mental stability, and human values from her. She influenced my life so much and was a perfect role model for me. My mom had a beautiful smiling face and had an even prettier heart who had sacrificed many things in her life to make me comfortable everywhere.

As years went

by I was doing my engineering in computer science while she had stopped her consultation at hospitals and started to organize free medical camps.

By then I was twenty two and she was fifty years. Even though time went so fast and I had so many friends, yet my mom was my best friend and she continued to be my first preference. While in her company it appears as though I were only a small boy of five years old. Her biggest dream was to make me a high profile officer who could help the poor in some way or other.

Even though I had many dreams other than what my mom had I wished only to satisfy what my mother wanted me to do. In order to fulfil her dream I completed my engineering with flying colours and began to appear for many tests and interviews. One day I received a call letter from a company in Bangalore and they wanted me to report there as the Managing Director on the very next day. At first I thought of telling her about it and then decided

to surprise her after coming back from Bangalore.

So, I told her that I would be going to Bangalore for an interview and would come back only after a few days. I reached there and took charge of my new assignment and later in the evening went around the city to buy something for her. The company offered me a house so I thought of bringing her with me. Suddenly I received a call from my uncle asking me to urgently reach home as my mom was not feeling well. I did not wait for any bus or train. I took a flight and went straight to my house with many scary thoughts wandering in my mind.

The moment I reached my house I could understand the situation. I found an ambulance and my uncle with a crying face gave me a complete idea of the situation. My mom, my guardian angel left me alone in this world and had gone to join my father where I can’t reach. After a long span of three months I resumed my job in Bangalore. Though I was alone I never felt the loneliness. The shadow of my mom was with me wherever I went and whatever I did.

The memories of my childhood days were interrupted by a call from the back by the senior sister of the old age home. Today was my mom’s 12th death anniversary and I sponsored a picnic and dinner for the inmates of an old age home at my place. The sister said that it was time for them to get back. The smile that I saw on the faces of those abandoned parents is enough for me to satisfy my mom’s dream.

Love of a mom for her child never dies even after her death. That will follow the child as a shadow throughout his life. My mom’s shadow follows me forever. She guides me, protects me, blesses me, controls me always and everywhere.

The love of my mother for me never dies...

My dream journey to NDA All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. I was vexed with the monotonous routine of the school and was badly in need of a break. Our trip to NDA provided the much needed break and it was indeed a dream journey.

The very thought of the academy made me jump with excitement. We got up early at about 3:30 AM on 24th May 2018 and were ready for the trip. We reached the Trivandrum station by about 7 AM and waited impatiently for the train. All the faces of my friends were brimming with enthusiasm and exuberance. We were accompanied by our Vice Principal Lt. Cdr Parichay Kalra, Mr Rajesh R, Mr Unnikrishnan and Mr Manoj (LDC) from account section.

The journey from Trivandrum to Pune was very enjoyable. We passed time reading books and socialising with the co passengers.

We reached Pune on the next day evening. We were put up at Aundh Military Camp which was very close to Pune station. It was indeed a very comfortable accommodation and each one of us was provided with a bed and cupboard.

On the next day we were taken out for a city sight-seeing. We started our visit with Aga Khan Palace which has an important place in the history of India. Mahatma Gandhi, Kasturba Gandhi, Dr Sarojini Naidu and other freedom

fighters were kept under imprisonment in the Aga Khan Place during 1942 Quit India Movement.

Next we visited Shaniwar Wada, an ancient fort in Pune. In the afternoon we were left free for shopping in the city. We reached back the camp by evening and settled down.

Finally the D day arrived. The day which our batch mates have been dreaming about right from the day we joined the Sainik School. After a quick breakfast we started our journey from the camp to the NDA. After about one hour journey my dreamland of which I had only dreamed dawned before my eyes. At first I could see the dome and as time passed by we saw the complete campus.

The Academy was fully geared up for the passing out parade. The entire campus was spick and span and maintained in a ship shape manner.

On our arrival at the academy we were guided to our designated place from where we could watch the parade closely. I have no words to describe the standard of turn out and the drill movements of the cadets. It was simply awesome.

After the passing out parade, many of our old boys came to meet us. They shared their

experiences at the academy. It was physically tough and challenging for the cadets. After all it is said that The more you sweat in peace the less you bleed in warâ&#x20AC;?. After the interaction with the old boys we went around the campus. We started the visit with the magnificent NDA mess which is Asiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest mess. Later we went to the equestrian section which has some of the finest breed of horses. Thereafter we were taken to the NDA auditorium which was named after Col N J Nair AC KC an alumnus of our school. The commandant NDA Air Marshal I P Vipin, VM again an alumnus addressed the cadets which was really an inspiring speech. Finally we visited Sudan block in all its grandeur. In the evening we witnessed a spectacular light and sound show. After a hectic but highly motivating day at NDA we returned to our camp at Pune. As we departed from the academy each one of us identified a place in the parade ground to stand among others during our passing out parade at NDA in the near future.

The journey back to the school was equally interesting. Our minds were filled with the spectacular show that we witnessed at the academy. With these thoughts in our minds we reached back the school. Now NDA is more than a dreamland. It is our calling and passion and we decided to live for it.

s I pace forth in the shades of night; The lonely moon was shining bright When the darkness flows from the heaven The white rays cease into seven I could hear the owlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hoot I could feel the pebbles under my foot; Because the way was not clear But still I persuaded a fear While all the night Through the shady light; Glimmered the white moon Where I thought, I would reach soon.

The streets were brightening When the stars were twinkling, But my mind was quivering As my body was shivering The night was very silent and cold But I knew how much lonely In the shades of night, I wandered freely.

And inside I stood bold.

A

school annual journal is the epitome of the students’ creativity and achievements of the year gone by. It is also a launch pad for their innovative urges to blossom naturally. As the saying goes “Mind, like a parachute works best when opened”. This humble endeavour is to set the budding minds to roam freely in the realm of imagination and experience to create a world of beauty in words.

The creative articles of our young writers are indubitably sufficient to hold the interest and admiration of the readers. This journal is indeed a modest attempt to make our budding talents give shape to their creativity and imagination. It is said that our success depends upon our power to perceive, observe and explore the world around us . The positive attitude, hard work, and fascinating ideas exhibited by our young buddies will surely stir the mind of readers and take them to the surreal world of unalloyed joy and pleasure. We have put in relentless efforts to bring excellence to this treasure trove.

We, at school make the children learn, observe, lead and shoulder responsibilities cheerfully. We also recognise, appreciate, applaud and foster the fine blend of sensibilities in our children to unfold in a conducive environment.

Helen Keller rightly says that the world is moved along not only by the mighty shoves of its heroes but also by the aggregate of the tiny pushes of each honest worker. The herculean task of editing the school magazine would not have been possible without the sincere support of the editorial board who sorted out the write-ups from the flood of articles we got from our enthusiastic young writers. It is a fine thing to have ability but the ability to discover the ability in others is the true test. I also take this opportunity to thank all the contributors as their contribution is the reason that makes this magazine endearing to our readers.

It is our fond hope that the journal will enjoy your critical acclaim. If you find the contents of this magazine worth reading our efforts would be amply rewarded.
