I

am immensely pleased to note that Sainik School, Kazhakootam will soon release the next issue of its Annual Magazine - The Kazhak Cadet.

Since its formation, the school has achieved significant success. In the last five decades, many outstanding officers in the armed forces as well as exemplary achievers in other fields of nation building have passed through the portals of this school. It is heartening to note that during the occasion of the Golden Jubilee celebrations of the school, overwhelming enthusiasm was noticed amongst the cadets, staff, parents as well as the alumni.

The school magazine unfurls all activities of the previous academic session and also provides an opportunity to the cadets to showcase their writing talents in English, Hindi and local vernacular. ‘The Kazhak Cadet’ in this edition has not only achieved all this, but makes an interesting read.

I wish the Principal, Staff and Cadets all success in their endeavours in the years to come and also complement the Editorial Board for publishing yet another splendid journal.

Jai Hind!

It

is a matter of pleasure to learn that ‘The Kazhak Cadet’ for 20112012 is soon to be published by Sainik School, Kazhakootam.

It is a noticeable credit that over 850 cadets from Kazhakootam have become service officers till now, say, nearly 20% of the cadets who left the school in the last fifty years. The Sainik Schools are meant for brining in overall development in the children within a span of seven years assisting them for the officer career in the defence forces at an early age.

The school magazine projects various activities undertaken by the school during the academic year and includes the written creations of the staff and cadets to share their views and thoughts with the unknown readers. Such effort facilitates the young minds to express freely in the form of articles and also to display their skills in the art, photography, etc. A well brought out school magazine reflects the quality of education in the institution and the effort of team work.

Best wishes to the Patron and Editorial Board of ‘The Kazhak Cadet’ and all Kazhaks who may cherish the 50 years breakthrough!

Good Evening and Welcome !

Honourable Chief Guest of the evening Smt. Shoba Koshy, Chief Post Master General, Kerala, distinguished guests, esteemed parents, members of staff and my dear cadets a warm welcome to you all.

On this solemn occasion of the 50th Annual Day Celebration of our School we are honoured to have Smt. Shoba Koshy amidst us. I am extremely grateful to her for having graciously accepted our invitation inspite of her hectic schedule.

Madam, I am sure that your benign presence on this occasion will be a great source of motivation for our Cadets.

On this befitting occasion I shall now present before you a wide spectrum of the various activities and events that are carried out in the School during the current academic session 2011â&#x20AC;&#x2122;-12.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I took over as the 17th Principal of this great

educational institution on 22nd Nov 10.

I commit my heart and soul to serve you by shouldering this responsibility during my tenure. The trends and standards set by my predecessors would be continued with higher degree of involvement and enthusiasm of my team of Kazhaks !

Sainik School Kazhakootam is one of the 24 Sainik Schools in the Country, and was established in 1962. It has come a long way since its inception in making a significant mark as an educational institution of high repute in our state of Kerala. I am happy to announce that this prestigious institution is celebrating its Golden Jubilee year. We organize an year long celebrations to make this momentous occasion a historic one.

Apart from our basic aim of preparing the boys for entry into the National Defence Academy, the training imparted in this school influences the students in shaping their social

attitudes and meaningful approach to the life in general in order to emerge as responsible citizens of India and leaders in different walks of life.

In this age of unbridled consumerism and crass commercialism horror stories hog the headlines. Uncouth behaviour of the young minds leads to the damage of the society. Against this backdrop Sainik Schools provide a beacon of light and hope by upholding sound values and principles for the cadets to absorb, emulate and exemplify. The Class XII Cadets are ready to spread their wings and fly out of the portals to face the challenges of life and I am sure they will indeed make their impact in the world wherever they go or whatever they do, rising much above their expectations.

New Admissions After the All India Sainik Schools Entrance Examination in last January and merit based selection procedure thereafter, 108 cadets were admitted

to the school in the beginning of the current session-98 in class VI and 10 in class IX. The present school strength is 596 including 39 Day Scholars.

Academics Despite busy schedule of various regular co-curricular and extracurricular activities, Academics continues to be our prime concern and top priority. As in the past, this year too our academic achievements have been remarkable with 100% pass in Class X and 98.8% in XII CBSE Board Exam held in March 2011.

Of the 94 cadets who appeared in class X, 82 secured CGPA above 7.5 and the remaining 05 cadets secured CGPA above 6.

National Defence Academy Our first batch of students joined NDA in 1965 and to date more than 850 alumni have been awarded Presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Commissions in the Armed Forces.

The First day

in Khaki

When I came to Sainik School I

saw my seniors wearing khakis. But we were asked to put white shirt and white shorts. I was curious to wear khaki but Miss told that we would get it only later.

Then I noted the beret, school belt, house colour, SSKZM and most importantly the name tab. One day I dreamed of wearing khaki and going near my cousins. I waited and waited and one day Miss gave us khakis, beret, school belt, house colour, SSKZM and name tab. Then I and my batch mates were too happy.

The Beauty of Nature Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s full of hills

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s full of green, forests The sky is deep blue A lovely sight to see.

The rivers, the streams They all flow down the hills Splitting into small channels They travel far and wide They dash into the rocks and splash out, They jump from big rocks and form a waterfall.

35

The hilly slopes are full of green The bright fresh green grass Holds the dew drops They shine like jewels in sunlight.

Look at the blue sky, The birds flying in full freedom With its wings outstretched In the sky that has no end.

We have such a beautiful nature In this little heaven; The only one home we have: The beautiful Earth!

When parents say time is up to get up Children say No, just five minutes more.

When parents say it’s time to bathe Children say ‘we want to play.’

ParentsVs Children

When parents say it’s time for school Then children say ‘I am bathing now’ When parents say it’s time to study Children say ‘we want to chat with each other’ When parents say don’t run here and there The children say ‘we want to enjoy’ When parents beat the children.

Then the children cry.

4520 Anandhu G S Af ter the rigorous selection procedures during the RDC-2011. I, U/O Anandu G.S., was for tunate to be selected as a delegate to represent India in a foreign country as part of NCC Youth Exchange Programme. It was a moment of joy for me when I received the letter from DG NCC intimating that I had been selected to be part of YEP Bangladesh2011 to witness “the Victory Day celebrations” to be held at Dhaka. On the Ist of December I boarded the flight to Delhi so as to reach there by the same day around 4 in the evening. As the winter had set in, it was very cold in Delhi.

It took me a while to get adjusted with the climate there. I reported to the YEP cell on the same day. In the evening we were given a chance to introduce each other and had a briefing about the entire YEP programme by our contingent commander Col. Ajay Gupta, the group commander of Jabalpur, M.P directorate.

In the 10 days that followed, we got to know more of each other and our bond of friendship grew stronger and

Youth Exchange Programme

BANGLADESH 2011 stronger. We had a couple of outings in and around Delhi. We had our measurements for the NCC dress taken.

In the meantime we also prepared our cultural programme and slide presentation about India which was to be presented in Bangladesh. And finally, the day for us to proceed to Bangladesh arrived. We were all thrilled as it was the maiden foreign trip for almost all of us.

On December 11 we proceeded to Indira Gandhi International Airport from where we were to board our plane to Dhaka.

After the normal security checks, we boarded the flight and reached Dhaka Hazral shajilal International airport by 3.30pm. We were greeted by Bangladesh NCC cadets and staff at the airport and they accompanied us to our accommodation area near the BNCC

headquarters. They provided us with some light refreshment. At the BNCC headquarters we met our counterparts from Sri Lanka and had an interaction with them. On the next day, that is, the 12th of December YEP Bangladesh was officially inaugurated by DG BNCC and gave us a briefing about Bangladesh.

Then we proceeded to Ansar Academy, our first visit in Bangladesh. This is a unique institution as it provides training about all walks of life including military training, disaster management, self defence. etc. to the poor people hailing from villages and other backward communities. This government institution is being well maintained by the Bangladesh Army. On the next day we visited the ‘National Martyr’s Square’ and the Indian High Commission. The

40

National Mar ty’s Square is a war memorial built in memory of the brave soldiers who attained martyrdom in liberating Bangladesh in the 1971 war.

We then had a cup of tea at the Indian High commission and an interactive session with the members of Indian high commission. On 14th December, our visit was to Bangabhandhu Memorial Museum. This was once the home for Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the father of the Nation of Bangladesh. It was here that this great hero was assassinated during the 1975 military coup. We also had our visit to some historical places.

In the evening we had the cultural programme co-hosted by Indian, Sri Lankan and Bangladeshi NCC teams.

We were fortunate to have our DG NCC, Lt Gen P S Bhalla as the chief guest for the function. We were filled with joy when we came to know that our programme was one of the most acclaimed events of the evening. The next day was of utmost importance as it was on this day that our visits to all chiefs of the defence force were scheduled.

First we visited the Chief of Army Staff and then the Navy Chief followed by the Chief of Air Staff. In the evening we had a formal dinner hosted for the cadets of Indian and Sri Lanka. The boys were out in their Jodhpuri suits and the girls in their silk sarees. We then had an exchange of mementoes and a photo session. The next day was the most important day as it was the Victory Day celebrations. We were seated in the pavilion by 9.00am in the morning. The parade began by the march past of the army, navy and airforce contingents. We were delighted to see our fellow mates of BNCC marching in the parade. The wonderful parade culminated in the skillful, breathtaking air show by the

41

Bangladesh Air Force. In the evening we were for tunate to attend the reception hosted by the president of Bangladesh, Shri.

Zillur Rahman, for the dignitories.

There we also met the prime minister, Sheikh Hassina, and the war veterans of 1971 war. On the next day we had a long journey to Jamuna resort. It was about 80 kms away from the BNCC headquarters. The main attraction of this resort is the Jamuna multipurpose bridge, which is 4.7kms long. The bridge consisted of both railways and roadways as well as the gas pipeline. There we had a river cruise, a memorable and enjoyable one.

After this we had a delightful feast and after a small interaction with the area commander we returned to BNCC headquarters. On the 18th of Dec. We all packed up to leave for Chittagong. It was for the first time that an NCC delegation was moving out of Dhaka. We were all amazed to see the transport that they hired for us. Believe it or not it was a Mercedes S.class sleeper coach ! It was a wonderful journey and on the way to Chittagong we got down at Comilla Cantonment which was the commanding post of late Gen Silver, the commander of British Indian territory during world war - II. We then proceeded to Chittagong and we reached the Naval Quarters by around 6.30 in the evening.

Later we had a reception hosted by the BNCC cadets of chittagong area. On the next morning we visited the ‘War Memorial Museum’ where the weapons used during the war were kept. We then proceeded to Bangladesh Military Academy (BMA), where we witnessed the Commandants passing out parade.

After the parade we visited the west point, which is the end of Bangladesh

territory. We had our lunch there and enjoyed in the nearby beach. We had an opportunity to ride in a quad bike. The next day was the last day of our trip.

On this day we were taken to the Naval Dockyard where we saw the BNS Umar Farooq, the first ship of Bangladesh Navy. Then we had a sea cruise in Bangladesh naval ship and by noon we were back in Naval Quarters.

On the same day we boarded the train which took us back to Dhaka. The next day we had shopping in and around Dhaka and in the evening we were busy thanking our conducting officers and cadets of BNCC. We took each other’s contact address as it was time for us to part. The next day, that is 22nd Dec, was a sorrowful day waving goodbye to our counterparts from Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. We boarded our return flight to Delhi at 9.30 am and reached IGI airport by 12.45PM. We were then escorted back to YEP cell. On the next day, since my flight back to Trivandrum was at 2.00PM, I left the YEP cell with a heavy heart, waving goodbye to my friends. I boarded my return flight at 1.30 and reached back Trivandrum at around 7.30 in the evening. The trip was a funfilled one, and it was the best experience that I ever had in my life, I would like to thank the NCC for organising such a memorable trip for us.

Indian Energy Sector 5340 Harishankar S

T

he energy sector in India is becoming a growing market for investments. It has seen a large growth in the last few years.

The electricity sector in India has an installed capacity of 185 Gigawatts as of November 2011, the world’s fifth largest of the installed capacity: Thermal powerplants constitute 65%, hydroelectric power 21%, and the rest 14% is a combination of wind, biomass,waste - to - electricity and nuclear.

In December 2011 over 300 million Indian citizens had no access to electricity. Over one third of rural population and 6% of the urban population had no access to electricity.

To most of the people who have electricity supply, it is intermittent and unreliable. Blackouts and power shedding interrupts irrigation and manufacturing across the country.

Electricity distribution network in India is inefficient as compared to other countries. India’s network losses exceeded 32% in 2010 as compared to the world average of 15%.Loss reduction technologies if adopted in India can add about 30 GW of electrical power, while simultaneously reducing electricity loss and carbon footprint.

India is the world’s fourth largest consumer of electricity, but it currently suffers from a major shor tage of electricity generation capacity. The International Energy Agency (IEA) estimates that India needs an investment of atleast $ 135 billion to provide

43

universal access of electricity to its population.

Power development in India was first started in 1897 in Darjeeling, followed by the commission of a hydropower station at Sivasamudram, Karnataka in 1902. India’s electricity generation capacity has increased from about 100GW in 2001 to over 185 GW in 2011.

India’s growth rates are still less than those achieved by China, and short of the capacity of electricity to ensure the availability of electricity to all its citizens.

India’s energy sector is the world’s most active player in renewable energy utilisation, especially wind energy. As of December 2011, India’s installed capacity is about 22.4 GW of renewable technology based electricity.

According to Oil and Gas journal, India has approximately 38 trillion cubic feet (Tc f) of proven natural gas reserves.

United states energy information administration estimates that India

produced approximately 1.8 Tcf of natural gas in 2010, while consuming 2.3 Tcf. The electricity, power and fertiliser sector accounts for nearly threequarters of the natural gas consumption in India. Natural gas is expected to be on increase as the country pursues energy security.

The country already produces some coalbed methane and has major potential to expand this source of cleaner fuel. India is estimated to have between 600 to 2000 Tcf of shale gas resources.

Despite its natural potential. India has yet to hold licensing round for its shale gas blocks. The traditional natural gas reserves too, have been very slow to develop in India because of regulatory burdens and bureaucratic red tape severely restrict the country’s ability to harness its resources.

If India were to use its resources to its full potential, it could say good bye to its energy problems, no doubt.

A Love Story There was a blind girl. She hated

5213 Adwaith HN

everybody except her boyfriend. She used to tell him that, if she had eyes she would marry him. Then after some days someone donated eyes to the girl. She saw her boy friend and was surprised because he was also blind. The boy asked his girlfriend, “Now you have eyes, will you marry me?” The girl was silent for some time and said, “No”. The boy came near the girl and told her, “Take care of my eyes, Bye”.

Song of the rain Rim-zim, rim-zim, drop, drop, drop

I come down dancing pitter, patter Rim-zim, rim-zim, drop, drop, drop I come down twittering pitter, patter.

I get a response mixed and vexed It depends on the time and place Oft I’m welcome when they’re parched Or else it’s all flood and fury.

Rim-zim, rim-zim, drop, drop, drop I may come down ‘cats and dogs’ To the sheltered it’s all picnic then But the homeless run all helter-skelter.

Green fields wave and forests sway To extend their welcome notes Weary hearts and dreary sands All alike are filled with joy.

Rim-Zim, rim-zim, drop, drop, drop I come down spraying spraying pearls of chill Pearls of chill, pearls of thrill Oft it’s welcome as drops of life.

K.S. Antony For umbrellas both new and old Dept. of English It’s a day of rejoicing They all come out of their dusty hidings And take out processions long and winding.

To the Indus, Yamuna and Kaveri I’m a devil and monster sure But to the dreary stretches parched and hot I’m an angel sought and prayed.

Sometimes I flood lands and homes And force a frog atop a water-weed Or a man atop his roof Or worse, both down and out!!

Ponds and wells do well up well Drains and gutters drain out well Flora and fauna do up well And people let a sigh o, well.

Parents vex as children rush out to embrace me Children are fixed as parents frown at them But the vexed and the fixed all alike Sing my melodies through and through.

The Relativistic lady There was a lady called Bright.

She travelled faster than light.

She left her home oneday.

And travelled in a relative way.

And reached back home the previous night.

Where I faced many a burden; I saw a garden snake But actually it was a fake The garden had many colourful flowers; And so it had numerous powers.

I saw a damsel dancing between the flowers; While the jasmine scent came across the field; The smell to make a way into my nose.

I stared at the damsel dance, To get a chance for a glance But it was of no use; She made me confuse, She didn’t grace me with a look; So I couldn’t embrace her with another glance.

Wake up! Wake up! I heard a loud scream, It was all just a dream!

participated in the PM rally and Cdt. Santhosh Kumar Besra was the right marker of JD drill team. Another interesting fact is that totally around 50 cadets from various Sainik Schools attended this year’s RDC. Also the present DG NCC, Lt Gen P.S. Bhalla is an old boy of Sainik School Kunjpura.

THE REPUBLIC DAY CAMP 2012 An Ever Lasting Experience Those days are gone from me

and a few others of this state, Kerala.

The days on which I sweated in each second of the hot sunny climate of this state. It was only for one single goal, the Republic Day camp at Delhi.

The tough and strenuous training of the drill and cultural events started from the first camp itself in which 12 JD and 24 SD cadets of this prestigious institution participated. From the hard and though selection camps held at Calicut. Finally 104 were selected to represent Kazhak at Delhi, out of which 5 were Kazhaks. On 28th Dec 2011 we boarded the Kerala express at 1130 hrs to Delhi with the songs of josh and the motto-“hum Dilli Jayenga”.

We reached Delhi on 31st Dec. 2011 by around 1430 hrs. It was freezing cold in Delhi. All of us kept ourselves warm with sweaters. From the railway station we were taken to the Republic Day camp site in a bus. After a 3 hour

51

5032 Eldho Jacob long journey, we entered the beautiful 100 acre RD village. We were received by a group of officers and each one of us still remember the taste of the hot coffee and the pastries we got at the reception.

From the very next day onwards the Inter state competitions of drill and cultural events started. First of all was the drill competition in which I was lucky enough to represent the state. It is hard to believe for anyone that each day cleanliness competition was held at the camp. Likewise the days of competition went on. At last the D-day came, the 26th January. I take pride in saying that one of our kazakhs Sgt-Shiva-Sasidhar marched on Rajpath in front of the PM of Thailand Mrs. Yingluck Shinawatra and the president of India. On 28th Jan DG’s awards were announced. Again kazhaks proved their worth. Sgt. Ronnie T. Jacob was adjusted the 2nd Best cadet at All India Level. Sgt. Bivin.V

On 31st Jan we boarded the Kerala express and by 2nd Feb around 1045hrs we reached Trivandrum. We were given warm welcome by Ministry of Education, Govt.of Kerala, as well as NCC directorate, Kerala and Lakshadweep.

Some good things about the RDC is that, at Delhi each day you will be interacting with officers of high rank. I am sure it will increase your motivation level and also your self-confidence.

“Motivation and self confidence are the corner stones of success. So, I will be failing in my duty if I don’t acknowledge the help of officers, Teachers, NCC instructors and PI staff, who ran behind the stage for gearing up the Kazhaks for this mission.

I

t was a pleasant and calm morning. I took my cycle and went to Gandhimaidan (Park) as it was my usual daily routine. That day also I found that many people young and old were indulging in some activity. All the young men playing cricket, while girls and ladies were doing yoga. All the old people were walking around. I came to the centre of the park. Then suddenly I noticed a mobile on the ground and immediately I took it. Before keeping in my pocket, I looked around to see if there was anyone looking at me. Slowly I kept that mobile in my pocket went away with my cycle to outside the park. As soon as I was out of the park, I peddalled my cycle fast reach my home frankly speaking I didn’t know what to do with

In our world

The virtual place She came to me by my side.

After gaze met mine as They were like rulers.

After voice came to me as They were like music.

Her face towards me has the radiance of morning sun Her hair tinkled my senses as they were like gentle waterfall.

Her smell intoxicated me as They were of roses.

Her skin made me grey with pleasure as

that mobile. My mind changed and planned to give it back to the owner.

Moreover being a Sainik School cadet there was no other option for me. I reached home and said to my mother and sister about this pleasant morning.

I switched on the mobile, I saw that the wallpaper was of Katrina Kaif.

My sister asked, “What are you going to do with this mobile? “I will give this to the owner,'' I replied. Soon the mobile rang and I heard a girl’s voice: I moved away from my sister and mother to have a private talk with her. She requested to give back her mobile. I told her, I would give it back. So again I went back to the entrance of the park, where she called me. Once again mobile rang and she told her dress code. She was in pink

skirt and red top. I could identify her from far away but she was still looking for me. I went close to her and asked “Are you the owner of this mobile?'' With in a second she took back her mobile from my hand and thanked me twice.

She introduced hereself to me saying that she was studyng in 10th. I didn’t mind her being one class Junior. She also asked about me. In between the conversation I couldn’t count the number of thanks from her. We almost talked for 20 minutes. Then she at last asked my contact number. Then I turned back and kept my right leg on the pedal.

Again she asked, “Don’t you have any contact number?” I went 10 metres away from her and turned back and said”. I already have added my contact number in your mobile. Once again I turned and saw she was smiling and waving her hand.

Happiness is Virtual 4982 Alan Anderson Biju

They were like silk Her lips were seducing me as The predator was by the prey.

But at last she was lost due To my awaking from my dream I wept like a heart striken lover For his mate waiting when they Can become once again as one!

Ride on a roller Coaster!

5283 Sreeram Anil

Whenever somebody asks me

to relate an experience that I can never forget, hundreds of different experiences come to my mind. But, there is one experience which I would consider to be the most unforgettable and scary. It was the first time I rode on a roller coaster.

Why? The fear and anxiety that I felt is beyond one’s imagination. Let me recall the whole incident.

“No! No! No!” I answered. But, my sister didn’t give in. She begged my mother until she said, “Okay, go on.”

The moment we reached there, my sister suggested , “Lets go for a ride on the roller coaster. I’ve heard so much about the roller coaster and I am dying to try it!

I’ve always been fascinated by carnival rides, but seeing the huge monstrosities that would throw people in the air in all directions never sat well with me. “No way, man. I don’t want to be scared to death!” I, 9 years old then, protested, shaking my head from left to right as hard as I could.

Without wasting a second, my sister dragged me to where the roller coaster was. I was really nervous.

“Wow!” my sister cried out loudly. She couldn’t hide her surprise. “This is the biggest roller coaster I have ever seen.

“I agreed with her in my heart. The

tried to comfort me, but it did not help. I nodded obediently and managed to flash her a smile.

days passed he needed to drive fewer nails into the fence. Finally a day came when he didn’t lose his temper at all. He rushed to his father to tell him the good news. The father now suggested that the boy pull one nail each when he was able to hold his hard temper. The days passed slowly finally the boy was able to tell his father all nails were gone.

Finally, I felt the roller coaster move slowly at first, then faster, faster, and faster as it began to pick up speed. I felt my stomach turning upside down. It moved so fast that I nearly fell from my seat. I felt sweat streaming down from my face and my forehead. My heart was pounding loudly. I regretted taking a ride on this scary thing.

slow down or I’ll get a heart attack.” I pleaded in my heart but the roller coaster refused to listen to my pleas. I heard people screaming crazily. It was driving me nuts. The roller coaster, swung to the left and then to the right. It swung so hard that my head knocked against the front seat. When the roller coaster slid down from the highest peak, it was the most frightening part of the whole trip.

My eyes were wide open. My heart stopped beating. I screamed at the top of my voice.

“When will this big stupid caterpillar stop moving? Slow down,

The fifteen minutes ride on the roller coaster was like fifteen years to

me. My face was as pale as a corpse when I came down from the roller coaster. I buried my face in my hands, because I felt that the world was spinning. My parents rushed to me when they sensed something was wrong with me. My whole body was trembling and my mouth was empty when I tried to speak. My hands were ice cold. From that moment on, whenever people mention roller coaster, a chill runs through my spine. I think that was the most unforgettable experience in my life.

The boy did as he was told. On the first day he drove 30 nails into the fence and found it was hard work. He tried to control the temper and as the ached. I guess I was panicky. I tried to calm myself down but in vain. I heard people shouting excitedly. They were so eager to begin.

The father took his son by hand and led him into the fence. He said “you have done well, my son, but the fence will never be the same again. When you say a thing in anger, they leave scars, just like you say you are sorry, the wound still remains there.

One Creepy Afternoon

Friends what will be your reaction

if any ‘Reptile’ a live or dead falls on your body. You can’t imagine that, right?

But this happened to me in my life. And this is not a lie, it’s a real life story.

It was a normal afternoon. After finishing my meals, I came back to house. But suddenly I felt that something was not okay. I saw my friends going to their bed and falling asleep fast instead of talking or reading. I felt very lonely. I looked around me. I couldn’t hear any body talking. After sometime I saw someone coming. I saw one of my friends coming back to the house after calling his parents. I felt happy that at least I got one boy to talk to. As part of friendship he shared his snacks with me and I shared a book with him. We were very excited talking and reading. Without disturbing anyone sleeping we moved to the corridor side of central path and settled down. We were so busy in talking that we were not concentrating on the things happining near us. After somtime, I took out my pen from the pocket for marking some points in the book.

Suddenly my eyes fellon a creature wobbling on the ground. It was grey in colour, very long and thin. It coiled on the ground. I thought it was a leech. But my mind didn’t accept it. Then I saw it’s head touched the foot wear of my friend.

Then suddenly I came to a know that the creature was nothing but a long snake.

77

When it coiled it self and got ready to attack my friend, I shouted at the top of my voice “Snake..... Runnn.” We jumped on the corridor. I saw that the snake was very angry. Two boys were not sufficient for killing that reptile. So we took the help of some seniors. One of the seniors was very excited after hearing the name snake. He came running towards the long reptile and took a big stone and threw on the creature- BLAM!!!. But the snake escaped somehow. One of the stones fell on the snake’s tail. It was unable to move forward. I can still see that scene in front of my eyes. When the tail was stuck all of them covered it’s body with big stones. Many boys gathered there.

After sometime we thought it died. One of the boys with a stick removed a stone and we were astonished to see that the snake survived the pressure of the stones. One boy told that he was going to crush the head of the snake. The boy crushed it’s head till he could see the creature stops wobbling. Then he removed all the stones from it’s body.

He thought of a mischief and started

playing hockey with it. We were standing on the corridor and was watching what was happening. At that time that boy scooped the snake with the stick like a hockey ball. The snake flew in the air. We thought it would fall on us and we ran shouting. My friend ran and looking at me and splash!!! The snake fell on my head and started to swing. The blood was all over my face, it’s head entangled in my fingers, the body on my head and what not. I threw the snake down in a quick action and ran two times around the house shouting ‘Aaaah.....!!!

I ran to the tank, took a bucket of water and poured over my whole body.

I was shivering like a small child who had seen a ghost in the midnight. I applied the soap again and again on my face and hair till I was satisfied. The snake was carried on a stick followed by all the boys. It was looking like a grand funeral procession of the richest person on ear th. After that I realised that the uncomfortable thing that stuck in my mind was nothing but the thing which stuck on my head.

How do you like to go up in a swing Up in the air so cool Oh, I do think It is a pleasant thing Evey child can do Up in the air over the wall Till I can see so wide Rivers and seas and cattle and field Over the country side I’ll look down on the garden green Down on the roof so brown Up in the air I go flying again Up in the air and down.

The Journey to Mars 5151 Dheeraj Kumar

As you know, right now sitting

on earth, a space rover called Curiosity, on board a rocket called the Atlas V is speeding away towards Mars. Curiosity is also called the Mars Science Laboratory or MSL in short. It is going to explore if Mars is habitable.

The Mars Science laboratory, christened Curiosity, was launched on the 26th of November 2011 from Cape Canaveral in Florida. It will land in the gale crater on Mars in August 2012 if everything goes according to plan.

The rover weighs almost two thousand tons, more than t he last three Mars rovers put together, and so landing it on Mars will be a challenge. Two thirds of previous mission sent to Mars have either crashed or lost contact with the earth. Methods like airbags to cushion a free fall will not work, given the weight of Curiosity.

To solve this problem NASA has designed an ingenious rocket ‘sky crane’ that will hover above the surface and lower the rover gently down to the Martian surface.

In short Curiosity will revolutionise our understanding of Mars. The data about the atmosphere and weather collected will take us closer to being able to send a manned mission to Mars. The European space agency plans to perform this by the year 2030.

The year 2012 looks to be an exciting year for space exploration.

There are various missions which may be headed towards new discoveries,

starting off with our neighbour planet Mars.

It is carrying a large collection of instruments to Mars. These instruments are among the most sophisticated technology ever sent to space. In fact the instruments are so numerous and so varied in function that NASA has likened the rover to a living creature in a warm box that protects the circuits and controls the temperature inside. The ‘brain’ of the box is the computer onboard. The rover has a robotic arm that will work much like a human geologist would, scraping and collecting samples...........

The dawn space craft look off from earth in 2007. It then flew towards mars when passing mars in 2009. It received a boost to its velocity from mars gravitational field. It reached vesta in July 2011. It is due to take off from vesta in June 2012 and start its journey towards ceres.

The Satisfied Man So quietly I came out from a belly so stout just crying all day I eat and I lie I sit and I stand I drink and I chew I’will walk with no hand and I’ve teeth met a few My desire was to learn New I’ve learnt to earn With many an evaluation I made a graduation To a girl I got married A son I got later The wife is now worried I’ve more duties than the latter My son is now earning Our choices are now charming The girl he’s gonna marry Should be pretty like a fairy.

We found out one soon The marriage all done.

Just like a great boon A grand child I got one I’m content I’m proud I stand bold in a crowd Surrendered to grey hair I rest on chair Lay resting forever Six feet behind my home.

So quietly I go back The way I had come.

Once I was lost

In a forest path I tried to recover, but in vain And ill luck tightened it’s wrath.

I walked on and on, And the path became lone The moonlight shone, And behind the clouds it was gone.

I saw in the moonlight, Such a wonderful sight A house with such a height, Stood with all its might.

My senses were right, Or were they wrong I tried with all my might, To concentrate all along.

I thought I was right, To enter the house I was afraid and told myself to Fight, And not to be such a cowardly louse.

I saw something move, Or was it my imagination?

One moment it was there And the next second it was gone.

The inside of the house was a host Such that the beauty was ablaze and once again I was lost, In this scary maze.

4857 V N Krishna Kumar

And all at once I saw a sight, In the darkness, there was light!

A lazy white figure was in front of me, With skirts that stretched up to her knee Not just an ordinary light but a tube light which made me jump and fall.

And there was evil in her eyes Getup! Getup! I heard my sergeant call!

And I knew it was the end of me.

Rising of Confidence One of the crucial aspects of life that has an impact on everything is “confidence”. It plays a major role in education, work and bringing up of your friendship. To achieve confidence we can do many things and if you succeed in it then your future is brightly written.

yourself and accept compliments from others. Be your own best friend. Turn out should be proper whenever you go

4905 Rahul T

infront of a crowd of people. And if you believe in these then your success is a fixed.

Confidence means we should be ready at all times to face any problems or challenges. We should Adopt a role model whom we believe to be our best choice. We should accept criticism and try not to fight with anyone. Knowing our limits achieve confidence step by step. Don’t ever even think about your past but live in today’s world. Appreciate

My First Cross-Country Race My first cross country race was

when I was in 7 standard. I got up early and wore my house colour T-Shirt with full pride and self-confidence. We knew that the house victory depended on us.

I entered the parade ground seeking blessings of all the gods, especially Jesus. With my heart full of courage I went straight to the starting point. My house master came to us and gave us instr uctions. Of course our appointments were the brain behind it.

The whistle was blown and all the 6th standards cheered us. It was one of my unforgettable moments. I was biting my collar so that I would not suffocate. But after the parade ground, I got angry and left my collar. th

I ran and reached the quarters, I saw Jayesh some 50m ahead of me. I surely thought I would reach the first enclosure. The race was getting tougher

105

and the destination was far ahead.

Blood flowed faster through my nerves and I tightened my fist, took lead. The race was the same like our life- full of bushes, rocks, pits etc. The main part is that we should over come it. Soon I reached inside where our cadets call it "forest" My seniors used to scare us telling that while they ran the cross country, they saw fox, jackals, snakes etc. But there I did not find anything.

Then my common sense started telling me â&#x20AC;&#x153; You better concentrate on your race or else sometimes our house may not get the trophyâ&#x20AC;?. My concentration was fully on the race.

At last I reached out of the forest and swimming pool. It is a turning point of race. Any thing can happen at any time. I was afraid through out the race that I would be pushed by some one else. I reached near the game store.

There I saw Subham Sinha & Anchan near me. When I entered the parade ground, Himanshu had just entered the enclosure and was the first boy to reach.

Mean while Adarsh and Jayesh had finished the race, followed by Rahul Ranjan. At last I finished the race, reaching the Ist enclosure. It was the first cross country of my life. Though our house was Runners up, in my mind we were the champions. I will keep in mind that cross country where the 7th standards showed their might in front of their juniors and continuously encouraged them to keep up the same spirit.

LEARNING FROM WOMB TO TOMB

“M en

commonly think according to their inclinations, speak according to their learning, but act according to their custom”. These famous words are from the famous writer Francis Bacon. It means that the day we are born, we are made to have conditions and terms. We start getting constant inputs from the parents teachers, elders and various other influences. These influences play a major role in shaping our personality.

Most people in this world have grown up thinking that their future and its possibilities are limitless, but they reach adulthood by taking things offered by the world. Along the way, over the years of upbringing,the negative effects of being told “You are a clum”, Don’t over estmate your ability”, “Don’t be too optimistic” and many other statements regarding one’s ability and nature result in individual is thinking that many things

are impossible. They are not even worth trying. In fact one forgets that every one has his or her own abilities. You should

therfore give it a second thought and avoid getting trapped in this conditioned thinking. Remember the quote by the philosopher Aristotle “Learning is not a child’s play, we can’t learn without pain”.

4778 Ananthakrishnan R Develop the habit of positive thinking. There may be some skills which you might have failed to master but by simply brooding over it you can’t avoid negative tendency.

You have to question yourself before allowing a negative tendency. The Question is. “Is that really true” Everytime you question you learn a new thing. It is your true learning that leads you to the greatest rollercoaster - “The life” A great man has summoned all experiences of life in one line “The wisest mind has something yet to learn”.

In fact we have never learnt anything which is complete in itself. We learn so little and forget so much. It is the only treasure which follows its owner everywhere. So it is clear why you have to take whatever pain possible to enrich your knowledge.

Science is the curiosity towards knowing the truth. It represents the strife towards enlightenment.

No life is complete without wondering about how it all began.

Humans take pride in being self conscious.

ature and her secrets lay hidden in the dark. God said "Let Newton be, and all was light.''

It is pointless to ask what science is, as the classical, monotonous definition has been hammered into the mind of millions of children throughout the world for many centuries. But, why science? For many students, it represents a hurdle in their life and they wonder why they should study it when they have nothing to do with it afterwards. The answer is simple.

Science is the curiosity towards

knowing the truth. It represents the strife towards enlightenment. No life is complete without wondering about how it all began. Humans take pride in being self conscious. Therefore it is the inherent quality of humans to be curious about how life and subsequently, themselves, came to be. In the dark ages, men thought earth was the centre of our universe and the heavens were the abode of gods ands goddesses who defied any understanding. Then a man found out scientific proof that earth revolved around the sun but the power of ignorance was so much that he was forced to keep his theory under cover.

Then another man, the world famous Galileo proposed that stars were huge fireballs and not palaces of gods. He was lucky not to be beheaded. Why did these men bother? They could have kept quiet and said Ignorance is bliss. So

round one went to the church, and gods powers were unquestioned.

Then, as legend goes, an apple fell some centuries later, and instead of eating it, Newton found the Law of Gravity. He followed it by findings in optics, calculus, laws of motion, geometry etc. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Principia de Mathematiciaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; rocked the very foundation of the idea of an omnipotent God. The motion of the heavenly bodies was not captained by any god but a few mathematical equations. Round two went to science.

Many theories of Newton were later put under the anvil as scientists, a new creed of man, began to find properties and sequences in the way things happen in our vast universe.

Later, the need to introduce dual nature of light was felt and the ensuing confusion was insurmountable. Then, a clerk in a German patent office

Theories of God and heaven were therown away.

Even science was rattled by its core. The clerk, or Albert Einstein as was his name, published few more papers in 1915, which we know today as the general theory of relativity. Mass which was taken to be constant in all equations till then, was proved to vary with respect to velocity. A speed limit was put on all bodies, that is, the speed of light was the ultimate barrier. This achievement seems huge and wonderful, but what led to it was a question which he asked when he was a child “what would we see, if we were to catch up with light?”

Light would no longer be light as it is relative to the observer. It would be

Relativity caused such a major upheaval that radical theories and fantastic breakthroughs began to happen by the day. Science won the match.

There was no looking back.

Theories and hypotheses were proven and disproven. Models were made accurate upto the order of 10-30 units.

Even the inherent uncertainty in nature was brought to the fore with mathematics as the tool of exploration.

It is upto us to continue this victory march onwards and find the ‘truth’. The achievement would be the crowning glory of humankind.

Behind every successful man there is a woman. But her role is seldom undrestood. A woman is the other half of man. Women have equal right in all aspects like education, business, family, political issues, or any other field which is of importance in the progress of a country.

Women are deprived of even the basic joy of being literate. The enormous talent resident in them has never been nurtured. They are confined to the four walls of the houses. Dowry is another problem faced by women in India.

Indian Women should come forward to take the challenge of running the country. They should adopt a life of

The time is very precious for us.

Each and every second has its own importance. It is said that the time we have lost will never comeback. So, we should think about our future not past.

We can’t stop the time. The time is going.

simplicity. Woman is not a play thing of man she is not born just to satisfy the lust of man. One should stand in the shoes of a woman to know what her true feelings and thoughts are. Gandhiji says “Women should avoid the extreme need for wealth for showy dress and decorations. There’s always a natural scent originating from the inner hearts

of women”. Therefore they are not required to attract others by applying scent.

misusing it. I am going to tell a short story on the precious time. By listening to this story you can’t even imagine how much valuable time is. As we know P.T. Usha was one of the fastest women runner of this world. In an athletic meet she participated in 100 metre running.

But unfor tunately she lost the first position and got second position. She lost Ist position due to difference of 1/100 minute. If 1/100th minute consists this much importance then think about yourself. How much time you are spoiling. Some will say “Oh! I missed my flight because I was one minute late.” So, we should be punctual

and not waste time because time has its own significance. It is said that we can’t comparea lakh of rupees to even a single minute. We all should be a strict followers of time. A person lives a very happy life when he does all his work in proper time. The person who doesn’t give importance to time can’t achieve his ambition. So, forbeing a successful person we should give much importance to the precious time.

Women’s heart is very noble and humble. They are the embodiment of sacrifice, silent suffering, humility, faith and knowledge. Women have the power to understand any situation without being taught.

Happy School days 215 Madhav Rajan Dear Friends, The year was 1967 ... a very good year ..as, it was the year of romance.. ..We had come back, from taking part in the Republic day parade, in Delhi..and before that we were lucky to go through, the preparatory camp at Munnar, at least I was lucky, as I met my girl friend Vatsala, there. We were in the same singing group rending out one beautiful malayalam song after another , in the evenings.

“Gayakare unar unaroo…

Kadhikare unarunaroo…”; “vandee puka vandee..vandi vandi ninnepole vayarinakathum theeyanu ..”

The day the song practice was not there, we somehow found a way to meet , outside the Spencer’s mini mall. She was great company during the train journey to Delhi and back.

I became , a very ardent devotee , of Srikandeswara Temple in Vanchiyoor, in Trivandrum, her house was next to this temple.

I think, I picked up the rudiments of writing, from this period, in shortest number of words, I had to tell her, how much, she meant to me .

After a year, of frenetic letter writings, and risky visits to the alleys , behind the temple to meet her, the romance petered out. Her parents caught her with my letters, and laughed at her for romancing a School boy, when she was already in college ..

Final straw, was the caste factor.

How can a brahmin girl, even think of marrying a Nair boy, that too a school going boy.

Fifty kilometers , towards Tamil Nadu border , Aryankavu , cross over to Shenkottai, in Tamil Nadu, make a base at Courtallam Falls 5 Kilometers away, and then, be brought back to SSKZM by bus.. ..We trekked with our Haversacks , with a cheerful forest stream, keeping us company and at odd times, old ladies used to peek out from their shanties, on the side of the road, and berate us, why can’t you people be a little more patient ..there is a bus every Three hours to Shencottai.. ...Our British Volunteers..tried to make our hike, a little more interesting.

They made us, sing aloud ..a British Marching Song .. ...”Roll me over, on the clover ..

Roll me over on the Clover .. ....”

At Aryankavu we crossed over to Tamil nadu, passed through Shencottai, and reached cour tallam falls.... a refreshing bath at the water fall ..spirits soaring.. we all were singing.. ... “ Hurray , Hurrah ..we sing so happily..Hurrah, Hurrah ..the place that makes us free….and so we sang the chorus, from Trivandrum to the sea.. ....as we were marching ..from Pangode “ …Bring the good old bugle boys ’ll sing another song, sing it with a spirit that will move the wheels along…..

Sing it as we used to sing it , two and fifty strong, as we were marching from Pangode” Back in the school,with memories of a Grand ..Summer of ’67.

E = MC2 PROVED WRONG EINSTIEN WRONG ?

If extraodinary claims require

extraordinary evidences, then Scientists involved in an experiment called OPERA (oscillation project with emulsion-t racking apparatus) have provided just that, when 60 nanoseconds threaten modern physics a sentence which is known to all. Yes, with the discovery of neutrinos, particles that travel faster than light, the foundation of modern physics is shaking.

Nautrinos fired from a supercollider outside Geneva to an underground laboratory in Gransasso Italy took less time than light to get there. A beam of light would take 2.4 milliseconds to cover this distance. This means neutrinos were travelling at a speed of 299,798, 454 metres per second. While the speed of light in a vaccum is slower

at 299, 792, 458 metres per second.

This new discovery shocked scientists all over the world. Albert Einstien’s 1905 special theory of relativity that states nothing can travel faster than light is now in doubt. If it is proved wrong the very foundation of modern physics will be demolished. Another one ver y Interesting fact is that if neutrinos can travel faster than light less time for travel may be possible. The theory is very simple to understand. Imagine you can run with the speed of a neutrino. You are standing In a race track. The light from the sun (any other light source) touches your body and reflects. At the same moment you start running. You being faster than light reaches first in the finishing line. When you look back you can see your own self in the past. If you keep running, at some stage you may beat the light which reflected from

Akbar’s Court. One defect: No sound.

Because sound travels much slower. Yet another amazing fact is that nothing can stop a neutrino. They are formed when stars explode. It may or may not be proved that neutrinos travel faster than light. If proved, New technologies will come to existence. What I say is “Hope for the best”.

As you all know the bond of friendship is stronger than the bond of fevi-kwik. It depends with whom you want to be bonded to. A strong, close, good, true friend-ship will never sink.

To call somebody a ‘friend’ means that

he is one among the few relations on the earth that never dies. Friendship helps to make a friend strong. You can enjoy the love more given by the friends if you make it close. Choosing a friend should be slow, changing him should be even slower. ’A friend in need is a friend indeed.’

This English proverb means that, a true friend is someone who helps you when you are in need. Some don’t know what friendship actually means. When you are

in danger, only a true friend will guide you and will make you free from danger, that also without any harm. A friend can see the mark of his friendship on the earth below and the heaven above.

Remember, anyone can achieve what he wants, even if it is difficult, with the help of his true friends. So make friends, attain prosperity and share it with them. The friend who tastes his friendship like nectar, bit by bit will relish it forever and, besides, not overtax it.

Loving Mother

A

s I was watching the Nature, I saw a mother bird with her little one As I was going through the village I saw a mother feeding her child.

5163 Himanshu KR

As I was going to the Railway station I saw a mother hugging her child.

As I was going to the hospital, I saw a mother sitting beside and taking care.

As I was going to the shop, I saw a poor mother asking alms for her children.

All I have is you: That makes me see everything as new

117

While I was sleeping and dreaming, I saw my mother loving and caring whole night.

Then I realise the real meaning of mother OH! Mother we can’t fathom your love And care throughout our life.

All I have is You...

They seem fresh like leaf top dew

You are one of the few lucky charms,

In this vast world, people like you will sure be few.

Who causes me no kind of harm:

There may be many, who attract others

In thisworld, all are in a kind of race,

But only a few who influence others-like you.

But I will never forget you and your face

You seem like a camera as you make me still

You are appreciated by everyone

You are also the one who makes me thrill

For your nature and look;

I feel as if you are near me now,

But you are most appreciated

Reason is the one I need to know, but how?

For the hard work you took.

You stood near me and made me understand

“Please don’t leave me” is all I have to say to you,

By always giving me a lending hand.

as All I have is You.....

The Small Friend of mine

It was raining in the night My eyes felt on a little rain drop He spoke to me you know!

As the rain became slow.

He rolled like a dimond In the light of the moon What a wonderful sight!

What a wonderful sight.

He cried suddenly My heart became soft Like the feather of the peacock I spoke to him you know!

“Why are you crying little one”?

“My family is dying” said he “What’s so wrong To happen like that?”.

“Because the people pollute us” replied he Suddenly some one called me It was a dream, indeed a good one I will not forget my little friend and his family Who appeared in my dream.

Remember Luck is not in your hand

Work is in your hand Your work can make luck But luck cannot make your work.

Past is experience, Present is experiment and future is expectation.

Use your experience in your experiment to achieve your expectation.

Always ask God to give you What you deserve not what do you desire, It is because your desire may be few but you deserve a lot Remember that You are very special No one can play Your role better than you You are unique So love yourself always.

INDIA @ 7 BILLION The growing population is a big

challenge to India and world as well. The latest baby born and the 102 year old Hilla Sorab Billimoria of Kolkota represent, between them, two ends of India’s complex population story.

At one end are the staggering numbers. With an estimated 1.21 billion people, India is a “Population billionaire” next only to China (1.34 billion), as the UN population fund described the country in a recent report titled India @ 7 billion. By 2025 India will overtake China to become the world’s most populous country, with the numbers expected to exert enormous pressure on natural resources.

That 11 babies of the 51 born everyminute are in India. The lowest ranking Indian states on the human development Index, highlights the

5084 Fibin Filal imperatives of Indian planners providing acess to food, water, health, shelter, sanitation, education and jobs to all, the same time, balancing these against scarce resources, safeguarding the environment and protecting against climate change. But India’s decadal populaiton growth rate, which touched a high of over 24 percent in the 1970’s, is slowing down. According to the 2011 census, it was 17.64 per cent in the last decade. That presents both opportunities and challenges. Lucknow, the capital of India’s Most populous state, also has one of its worst sex ratios: there are just 899 girls to 1000 boys, a sign of endemic descrimation. India now has its worst ever child sex ratio: there are just 914 girls for every 1000 boys accordig to the 2011 census. Ten years ago, the 2011 census found it was 927:

1000. The decline has continued apace since 1961; Though things are improving in some state among them Punjab, Haryana, Gujarat, Himachal Pradesh, Mizoram, Tamil Nadu and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, the overall picture is grim.

India’s maternal mortality ratio- the number of women dying due to maternal causes per 1,00,000 live bir ths- is pegged at 212. Fifty new borns among every 1000 also die. India is struggling to knock down these numbers, but has had limited success. Perhaps more important, challenge is the falling sex ratio and the “Vanishing” girl population.

The shaming numbers underscore the fact that laws have done nothing to curb female foeticide or change the cultural preference for a boy child.

Love & Hate 4886 Deekshith C With him in middle and all in haste.

He really didn’t knowShould he stand with hate or love He stood beside love and sought But the hate won the war he fought And now he took a new birth With anger and hate in his mind But it was really meant to be his death.

CHANGING SCHOOL 5006 Remesh Kumar

A

new school will pose new challenges at every level. Infrastructure, curriculum, teachers, classmates, all sorts of rules and regulations, new expectations, achievement standards, dos and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ts .... all these and more.

Dealing with these pressures can be really hard if there is little support and guidance. If you have ever been in a situation like this or have friends who were new to school until they met you, you will relate to what I am saying.

Helping new students to settle into a school is a prime responsibility that parents, teachers and other students must fulfil.

If you are a new child in your school and are feeling lost and lonely remember that you are not alone. A transition or change is always difficult to deal with, but it is a phase and shall pass. While you make efforts to settle in, seek help.

How can I settle into my new school?

Look out for support among your classmates, remember you need them more than they need you now; besides they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know you well enough to be your friends.

Share with them the freshness of your experiences, the stories that they may have never heard before and win them over! Share the glad times and even some sad times.

Ask your teachers for help. Seek

147

extra time with your teachers to help you with the new curriculum, various teaching methods, use of technology and systems in the classroom and the new rules and regulations.

It is seen that achievement and performance at school often takes a beating when we shift from a familiar to an unfamiliar style of working. Do not panic.

Gradually but surely, as you become comfortable and more familiar in the new setting, you will also be able to perform according to your ability.

Teachers can help you develop new study skills required to cope with the demands of the new curriculum. Talk to

the school counseller who could help you with ways to smoothen the journey and settle down into the new system.

If you are a student who has new fellow students in class, you can do a lot to help. Even if you have enough friends and do not feel the need to make new ones, remember, a little selfless act can go a long way. New friends bring with them new challenges and new experience which can enrich your lives beyond measure.

When you help a lonely heart, someone will surely be there for you when you need a pat on the back during rough times.

Remember, this too shall pass!

At the end I meet my death You note that I have Some one to protect my life through They are protectors and Aren’t my superiors whose slave I am But I do obey them…

Then as a girl or As a wife or As a mother…

Let me ask you Why is a woman Harassed or abused or Raped ?

Why ?

In that Marvellous Garden I think sometimes

How wonderful would it be Our classes in a green beautiful garden In the midst of twittering birds, The trees full of flowers Butterflies all around In the silence of the nature The fresh air all around Refreshes our heart Our mind ignores all the worries Our body gets relaxed.

Our teachers teach happily The interesting lessons We enjoy the pleasures of studies They just motivate, We would do all ways the best In that green marvellous garden.

When we feel bored in the class The beautiful sight refreshes again, We enjoy our lesson then With happiness and joy.

The orphan I am an orphan

Who has no-one to care Who has no one to know I have cried a lot But no one has ever heard me.

I am hungry but

no-one to give me food I can’t beg I can’t do any work This makes me starve Which makes me lonely But there are children in the world Whose life is bitter and ugly

Where children cry and Pray to the Almighty to save them.

Life is not fair to anyone.

And always leaves many behind It’s full of commitment and Effort you have put in your life It’s not your fault that you are Born in the streets without anything But it is that you have died Earning or achieving nothing in your life...

The Importance of

Learning History (Awarded Ist Prize in the Inter-House Essay Writting Competition - Juniors)

H

istory is the study of our pasts.

It is important to study the past so as to understand the present, and understanding the present dictates all our action. A better future can only be achieved by learning from our mistakes and successes in the past. History is the study of such past mistakes or successes or events. It provides the basement to build the houses of the present. As students who are the future

of the world, it is our duty to make a better world and education is what empower the children to do so.

Therefore it is imperative that they learn the basement of the past to make a strong future.

History has always been a weak spot for many students though not always. This difficulty has arisen mainly due to the fact that they do not understand why they should learn about dead kings and emperors, long past events and seemingly unimpor tant dates.

They quiver at the thought of long boring lecture on the political systems of Europe and Industrialization and colonialisation. It is this view of history

4715 Akash K.R. that discourages them from liking history. They should know that the use of studying history stems from the fact that it is to guide them in the future.

Teaching history must be a holistic learning experience for the students.

Events depicted in the history lessons of students are of great importance. These are the events that changed the course of the future. Events like the world wars, mechanization and industrialization are what made the present as it is. Periods of history like the dark ages and Renaissance tell us of the revival of mankind from long dullness and sorrow. Such events, if repeated will change the face of earth.

History helps us to be careful in our steps and work for a better future by learning from the past. Historical dates are also important as it catalogs the falls and leaps of mankind. Wars fought long ago and its results persuade us to work for peace. Such an impor tant subject is an unavoidable part of a budding youthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s educational curriculum.

Another aspect which makes histor y boring and fear ful to students is the interpretation of history as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;hisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; story. Students

believe that history is just a story of a man or a king and it has nothing to do with reality. This is another barrier in making history a popular subject.

Understanding the importance of history as a study of the past, to make a better future is necessary for this purpose.

Students should be encouraged to discuss various events and people so that they can understand the situation of the society at that time clearly.

Introducing new methods of teaching like history triv*a and comic strips of important events simplify the hardships often wrongly associated with learning history.

Such new methods along with understanding the need to learn history

will make the students better prepared for the future. They learn the values displayed by various people or even countries in the past and can act accordingly for their own betterment.

Moreover it helps to build an understanding between what has to done and what should be stopped. History also helps us to understanding the earth better and for conserving its resources. The bloodshed and massacres seen in history teach human beings of the consequences of their own actions.

Revolutions and rebellions teach us what humanity wants and how best to rule them. It shows us the hardships and sufferings of people, now long forgotten to ensure that such things are not

repeated. History guides us in our path towards progress by showing what difficulties and problems humanity faced in past during its relentless driven towards progress. It helps us cope with difficult situations by showing the courage and co-operation of human in the long gone centuries.

Learning history helps avoiding mistakes or mishaps in our pursuit of excellence and for a student such a guidance in his activities is of utmost importance. Therefore history, the study of our pasts that allows us to understand the present better and plan a good and happy future is very important. These facts reiterate the value of learning history.

A HOST OF GOLDEN DAFFODILS 215 Madhav Rajan

I am on holidays at Nenmara,

near Palghat, with my parents, sisters and brother, after passing from vi th std to vii std, in SSKZM. Actually I had never, ever …seen the name of this town on newspaper, until our, famous Minister from Kerala, Shashi Tharoor, decided to marry his Kashmiri bride, in a village near Nenmara. I would be lying down on my bed, with my sister and brother, liying on their stomachs, with their palm supporting their chin … waiting for me to start ..…I start “ I come from haunts of coot and hern, I make a sudden sally And sparkle out among the fern, to bicker down a valley.

By thirty hills, I hurry down, Or slip between the ridges, By twenty thorpes, a little town, And, half a hundred

bridges. They both together repeat “ KAMME FRAMME , GONZY GANDI , CAPRIKOOTTI BATER GANDI, SADDEN SALLY, ANDEN SPARLE, LARAMANGA, OOF EARN INTO BIKKAR DOWN ….”

That sounds like the craziest version of Lord Tennyson’s famous poem “ The Brook” It remains in my mind after many many years, because of the way, it was taught to us by our Lady teacher, Mrs Myrtle Jacob. She made poem reading, poem writing, poem comprehension, such fun … I even started writing a poem about the view from our house, overlooking miles of parrot green paddy fields, gently swaying in the breeze, with a chirpy stream giving this beautiful green saree, a golden kasav border ….

Of course it did not impress my mother one bit … “you should be answering sums af ter sums of mathematics, then rote aloud all the formulas of elements, compounds, and their idiotic chemical reactions… that’s where your future lies … Kavita is for daydreaming people, with woolly brains ..”

That would remind me of the power and influence Balettan sir, held over us, while in Pangode ..what he said was quoted as gospel truth, god’s own commandments …:never hit a boy behind his head .. he will die, never kick him on his private parts .. he will konk off in a second ..”

This got drilled into my mind … at least I knew where to protect myself, in case of the many scuffles I had with fellow cadets … One Abraham, nicknamed me Justice Mathoo … I ran after him, round and round the red house, then the blue house, then the kitchen , and finally caught up with him behind the row of toilets, where we all usually play ‘seven tiles’ with AJIT JACOB and gang..

Abraham warned me .. hit me anywhere except where Balettan sir, told us not to …. I cut off the confrontation and invited him for a game of seven tiles..

I sit with my niece in Bangalore, and tell her about the wonders of the Periodic table of Elements, atomic numbers, atomic weights, copper

153

way he encouraged us in making those maps of North America and Africa … we shaded the outlines with wetted crayons .. to really impress him.. ..I come to reality , as my mother shouts, ‘ what is going on’ .. my brother and sister had gone off to sleep … …time to go out and look closely at the ‘chemparathy poove ’ …the hibiscus flower.. Our Biology teacher Mr George Joseph had ingrained in us , a great love for plants, and even microscopic organisms like amoeba ,hydra and paramecium .. ( my brother repeated after me ‘ Parameswaran’).. sulphate , sodium , potassium and how we frightened our parents , when they came on the annual day , by scattering , dollops of special explosive compounds , on the floor ..

The elders would step on them and as it gave a cracker of a mini blast , give a shriek of sheer fright .. that would delight all of us to no end , making us laugh and guffaw holding onto our bellies …

Balettan sir , would watch from the sidelines , to make sure , our gimmicks did not cross , acceptable limits..

Behind the success of many of our alumni , in IITs , lies, the steadfast and selfless devotion Balettan sir , applied in making the subject of Chemistry , easy to understand , gripping , and a source of wonder … .. the development of our old boys association , school journal , directory … are all because of his tireless pioneering efforts …. ...The very pleasure I get in sitting in front of this computer , and chatting

away with my school mates …. I owe to NBN Sir .. no doubt about it … ..his contribution in character building , personality development , and confident posture of our cadets , especially in front of SSB Boards , and other competitive interviews .. are undisputable …I get back to the reality .. my brother and sister are waiting for another poem …I recite “I wandered lonely as a cloud , That floats on high o’er vales and hills , when all at once I saw a crowd….Surprisingly, they both , repeated the words of this famous poem ,by William Wordsworth exactly , as above …

Time to take them on in a competition … ‘ Which is the Capital ’ ? …They are saying the capital of India is Calcutta …. That is true.. but long long back during British days of East India company … how could they say capital of America is London … anybody coming out with an exaggerated tale .. would be dismissed as telling a London pulu ( a skyscraper of a bluff)....My mind wanders off to our Geography teacher Mr Thomas … his smiling face .. the

.. The seeds of my love for nature , flora and fauna , were planted my George Joseph sir …I still remember the dancing steps he took , before delivering a fiendishly unplayable , legbreak , at the batsman … … ‘ Howzzzaatt’ Not to mention Vasudevan sir , our physics teacher , would be unfair , as his motivation resulted in me always getting the highest marks in Physics , always above , seventy five percent…I could visualize the innards of a synchromesh gear box , thanks to his encouragement, later to write all the lesson plans for high tech BMP Armoured Personnel Carriers , for the battalion , and then seeing it , being accepted as syllabus in Mech Inf School in Ahmednagar , is all due to him.

Next to Bhagavad Gita , I keep the books ,” HOW THINGS WORK” ,vol 1, and 2, as my bible… sheer enthusiasm for Machinery , instilled in me by Vasu Sir. …Actually I could write a book on our fantastic teachers of Sainik School … may be sometime ….

Can India be rid of corruption?

(Awarded Ist Prize in the Inter-House Essay Writting Competition - Seniors)

â&#x20AC;&#x153;P

ower tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutelyâ&#x20AC;?.

There are the words of John Aton, who commends upon a dirty reality that exists in all parts of the world - corruption means lack of integrity. It is an act done to take some advantage inconsistent with official duty and rights of others. It is not just about bribery, but also involves the abuse of political power for private gain.

Corruption is a word used by many people in India. India has now come under the spotlight as a highly corrupted nation with cases such as common wealth games scam, 2G spectrum allocation scam, Bofors scam Adarsh housing society scam, BSNL looting by Dayanidhi Maran etc. An alumnus of the prestigerous NDA and an air force officer, Suresh, Kalmadi was chief organiser of the common wealth games.

But he was arrested and now is languishing in Tihar jail for having allegedly given the conducting rights to a foreign company at high price and thus causing heavy loss to the government.

Then came A.Raja, former telecom minister for having sold the 2G spectrum to those companies which did not fulfil the conditions for detaining it. About 4,327 lakh crores was the loss to the exchequer. This money was illegally transferred to Kalaingar TV through certain firms. MP Kanimozhi and Shard kumar, who are the owners of Kalaingar TV are also in Tihar jail after the CBI investigation on 2G scam. The corruption cases even dates back to the time of Indira Gandhi. Illegal transfer of

155

4833 Aby Mathew arms by a company called Bofors in India caused serious revolts at various places.

The former chief minister of Maharashtra, Ashok Chavan is also under the scam with regards to Adarsh housing society scam. The latest is the looting of BSNL by the union textiles minister, Dayanidhi Maran, who was the then telecom minister. He allegedly used 323 telephone lines in Chennai which was used by Sun TV network for transfer of heavy audio and video data thus causing a loss of about 400 crore rupees to the government. If such levels of corruption exists in the high levels of government and bureaucracy, we can well imagine the situation in lower levels.

A common man has to bribe even a clerk in a panchayat office to get his things done. This is an ugly reality and we are to be blamed for it.

Inspite of all this, I still believe that India can be rid of corruption. First of all, the attitude of the people has to change. When they bribe an officer or pay money to disobey the traffic rules they are watched by their children, who come to a conclusion that money power can break any laws. So the parents have to teach the children about values and ethics. So it helps to check corruption from the basic levels.

There are many institutions set up by the constitution to check corruption.

One of these is the central vigilance commission.

They conduct investigations about firms and politicians inorder to prevent corruption.

Another body is the Vigilance and Anti Corruption Bureau (VACB) We can file

our complaints in VACB and they will probe into the case. Another way is the Grievance Redressal Machinery by which one can gather information about a particular deal and he finds something wrong can file a case. The trust of people on judiciary has been lost as even judges are corrupt these days. We can also consult a Public Information Officer to file a case against corruption issues. A major law which helps us to curbe corr uption is the Right to Information Act. According to this we can gather information from any public office in India by filing an application from and nominal fee. This provides us information about the working of different government depar tments, other than those related to national security.

Another much sought about bill is the Jan Lokpal Bill. This came into consideration after the struggle of Anna Hazzare against the corruption. Lokpal committee headed by Pranab Mukherji is under the drafting of this proposed bill. People believe that once the bill is passed by the parliament corruption can be stopped to a large extent. The members can include former or retired CBI officers, Vigilence Officers and former chief justices of both supreme court and high court. This committe will broke into the functioning of all government depar tments and will investigate cases of corruption against politicians and bureaucrats. This body will be free from the control of judiciary and prime minister. So they can take independent decisions. It also empowers

An Unusual Day in School

GET UP! its time! 5.00 clock. I felt someone shaking may legs. It was my house master. He told me to call everyone. Couldn’t get up. My body was cold, eyes were closed still.... I got ready and went for south zone practice. The morning tea was good until a sixth standard spilled his tea on my shorts.

The practice was tough ..... and boring.

But hockey balls can be tricky. They find their way to the legs of players. Ouch

.... that hurts. I thought a bad start can happen but the day is still on! Positively I got ready had my breafast and went to school. Luckily nothing awkward happened. Maths was the first period. I prayed to God and started. Hope I will learn everything my teacher teaches and nothing can go wrong. Happily when I’m sitting my class master asks, “All ready for maths exam?” What in the name ?” Exam? I asked my neighbour he said.... “Why you don’t know?”

“After seeing the questions I was heart broken. Sitting by shifting scratching on the head, I finished my paper. Computer period next. Ha! what could possibly go wrong? I went inside. He asked everyone. “How many covered your notebooks?” ... Oh!.... my note was the same as I got from the stationery. He was also my housemaster. He gave a strong shot on my left shoulder. Only then I knew formation signs could fly.

Next maths period.... wow I just scored

12/25 the pinch was killing me.

Although I knelt down in the class, I thought as usual I would do better next time. The afternoon was tiring and I got to bed. I got up at 4.00pm ....God! South Zone practice...! I ran for the practice with my T-shirt in one hand. I had to talk sentimentally to overcome the angered P.T. instructor. Game went well and got ready for night studies. I proudly took my squad and went on with my friends. Cutting across is really messy after the rains. As I ran.... splash on a mud hole! you can guess my white and whites! Af ter that didn’t go for supervision that day. Night, I came .... tried to be careful not to get anything bad.... before going to sleep as I was writing in the diary.... I looked at the heading. 'A usual day in school. I changed it to. ‘An unusual day in school!’

the people to reject an MLA or MP during the elections. People or rather citizens of India strongly believe that corruption can be eliminated upto an extent by the proposed Jan Lokpal bill.

The str uggles of civil society activistis such as Anna Hazarae and Baba Ramdev will become fruitful in the coming future. Yes, corruption could be stopped and India can come out of it

with the support of its citizens. If we decide not to pay bribe, we can also help in this great campaign against corruption. We can hear and learn of a corruption free India in future.

My body was cold, eyes were closed still.... I got ready and went for south zone practice. The morning tea was good until a sixth standard spilled his tea on my shorts.

Its cold..... so peaceful to sleep

Beware! a day like this can come to you also.

4643 Abhishek. K.R.

When I saw you first,

With your beautiful smile on your face; Since then I love you, Like no one loved you, Like I never loved anyone before And I wish you to see, My love was enough for you and me.

And from the moment I started loving you, From that moment my meaning of life changed.

I reshuffled my entire way of living And got a transformation.

157

I did it coz of you, And coz I love you.

But that dark day you could take it nomore, And decided to leave me alone; Since that day I writhe Its hard to remember how I felt all these years; But what a miracle it is, Still I love you.

Time always kills the pain but it’s opposite to me; Years passed away and still days are not easy.

I can’t survive anymore as this life is of no use without love.

And I’ve lost loved ones in my life.

And this I beg not only for me.

But for all beautiful people who are in love; And dying for what I pine And if you can’t, then call me to you, So that you and I never be apart; And coz I know my fate, Sooner or later we have to be together So why not it be today, right now.

Coz I just can’t resist anymore, Coz I love you, And Coz you’re the only reason I believe in love....

A LIFE WITHOUT

I would be more careful to get ready and get out to the bus stop a little more early and ensure that I board a bus in time to reach my destination at least on time, if not in time. In the absence of ‘ifs’ there is infinite scope for spontaneity, innovation and creativity.

Often I wonder why life is a

vicious circle of ‘ifs’. Is there any stage of life, any walk of life or any act of life that is untouched by ‘if’? No. If you study Well,...If you are disciplined,... If I get good marks....... If my father permits me,... If I win a lottery,... If it doesn’t rain,... If you are late,... If I get a good job,... If I earn a better salary,...The list of ‘ifs’ is infinite. They are as frequent as the tick of the seconds’ hand of a lock; they are as proliferate as the grains of sand on the beach or the stars in the sky.

The fact I realize out of this is that ‘ifs’ make life very conditional; the scope and possibilities narrow down; life becomes very uncertain and loses its charm and challenge because we can always blame the ‘ifs’ for our failureswe can turn around and say, “See, I am late because the bus is late; I wouldn’t have been late if the bus had been on time.” Now if I don’t have the scope to blame it on the bus, I would be more careful to get ready and get out to the bus stop a little more early and ensure that I board a bus in time to reach my destination at least on time, if not in time

(like reaching the office on time especially when I have an ill-tempered boss). In the absence of ‘ifs’ there is infinite scope for spontaneity, innovation and creativity. It is because I myself own up the responsibilities for all my actions without ever trying to shift blame either on to people around me or my circumstances. Don’t you think such a life would be more rewarding and satisfying?

Now, what is the charm here?

What is the advantage of a life without ‘ifs’? It will, first of all, make me a ‘man’.

It makes me believe in myself and the innumerable possibilities that lie both within and around me. Secondly, it will turn around my entire disposition and attitude. When this happens, I begin to look at people, things and circumstances not as part of the problem but as part of the solution. They all become charioteers and guardian angels that God has sent to intervene (not interfere) in my life according to His great plan.

Thus I begin to appreciate my bond with my fellow beings (be it students, family members, neighbours or co-workers) and draw strength and inspiration from

it. And now there unfolds in life an unfathomable depth of joy, satisfaction and the bliss of co-existence.

Life is an unconditional gift of God. (The story of creation doesn’t mention about any conditions that God laid down before creation man!) Why should I subject it to numerous conditionalities and rid it of all charms?

In a life without ‘ifs’ I can be more imaginative, innovative, creative, assertive, and productive. Then I shall be able to draw out the best of my essence and existence. Agree? We can always agree to disagree. Thank you.

Epilogue...

The year-long Golden Jubilee Celebrations have come to an end. The elegant inaugural function was made memorable by the gracious presence of Shri A K Antony, the Union Minister for Defence and the breath-taking finale was graced by Shri Oommen Chandy, Chief Minister of Kerala and Shri Pallam Raju. Minister of State for Defence. Between these two major functions there have been a number of programmes sprinkling delight round the Golden Jubilee year.

A tree is known by its fruits- The innumerable Kazhaks occupying enviable positions in the Defence Services as well as in other walks of life will vouch for the unique recipe they have received from this great institution for a happy and successful life. If the first fifty years was an achievement,the next fifty years is going to be a challenge - A daunting challenge to remain on top, a challenge to perpetuate the rich legacy we have inherited from the pioneers of this institution. Let us face this challenge with grit and guts.

I hope that the Golden Jubilee issue of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Kazhak Cadetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; will provide you with moments of delight and the little jottings of our young minds will amuse you beyond expectation. May the light kindled by our pioneers guide our future path.

Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high; Where knowledge is free; Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls; Where words come out from the depth of truth; Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection; Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit; Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever-widening thought and action...

Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.

Rabindranath Tagore
