From Principalrsquos Desk
The most important step we can take toward achiev-
ing our greatest potential in life is to learn to monitor
our attitude and its impact on our work performance
relationships and everyone around us
We all have a choice We can choose an inner dia-
logue of self-encouragement self-motivation or we
can choose one of self-defeat and self-pity Itrsquos a
power we all have
Our mind is a computer that can be programmed We
can choose whether the software installed is produc-
tive or unproductive
Our inner dialogue is the software that programs our
attitude which determines how we present ourselves
to the world around us We have control over the
programming Whatever we put into it is reflected in
what comes out
Many of us have behavior patterns today that were
programmed into our brains at a very tender age The
sad reality of life is that we continue to hear negative
information but we donrsquot have to program it into our
brains
The most influential voice we hear is our own inner
voice our selfcritic It can work for or against us de-
pending on the messages we allow
It can be optimistic or pessimistic It can wear us
down or cheer us on We control the sender and the
receiver but only if we consciously take responsibil-
ity for and control over our inner conversation
Habitual bad attitudes are often the product of past
experiences and events Common causes include low
self-esteem stress fear resentment anger and an ina-
bility to handle change
It takes serious work to examine the roots of a harm-
ful attitude but the rewards of ridding ourselves of this
heavy baggage can last a lifetime
School Magazine is a wonderful platform for students to
showcase their talents of creativity writing ideating etc I
appreciate the efforts of all the budding writers and artists
for making this magazine vibrant I thank the entire Editori-
al Team for their good work and support God bless you all

ldquoMicro changes in Life can bring Macro Transformationrdquo
Children should be taught to think We should help them to unfold their imaginations and give life to
their thoughts amp aspirations The Hands on Learning Activities done in class will unleash a wide
spectrum of creative skills This I believe is the strongest factor for success in raising his self esteem
amp the most overwhelming key to a childrsquos success is the attitude by parents by giving the space to the
child and not comparing them to others ldquoThe secret of getting ahead is getting startedrdquo So why not
give them a jumpstart from the grass root level itself
We are pleased to present to you our E-Magazine It is a milestone that marks our growth unfolds
childrenrsquo s imagination to foster a positive learning Environment Letrsquos give them a platform to
think express ampexhibit their skills
I congratulate the editorial team for their hard work in releasing this E magazine
Happy Readinghellip

ldquo What you are is Godrsquos gift to you What you become is your gift to God ldquo
Language is one of Godrsquos greatest gift to humans given for the purpose of sharing ideas with others
Without leaving our chairs we can go to all parts of the world We mediate on the wonders of creation
But without the gift of language we would be limited in the ways we can share these ideas Words help
us let others know what we are feeling how much we care or how our hearts are filled with awe and
wonder and gratitude to God for all He has given us
Our School magazine is a mirror reflecting the creativity of young minds of the school I extend my
warm wishes to continue this journey on the road of excellence May God Bless us with wisdom
Ruby Verghese
Sr Coordinator
The school proudly presents its unique creation in the form of the E magazine which serves as a plat-
form to highlight the literary and artistic segment of NHPS family forming a bridge between flowing
thoughts and artistic magnification The magazine also highlights the educational cultural and sports
activities of the institute
Students articles have been instrumental in reflecting their literary spirits and ideals
I appreciate the daunting efforts put in by the team to put together the myriad thoughts into a visual
fest I wish them success for its timely release

A shadow side in me - Sunit Dighe VIII-C
Your life is in your hands How to solve your life with
ease Thats always a big question in a puzzled mind
Synchronizing the answer is always necessary Elabo-
ration the next first lets understand why you get a
human life hereditarily Until and unless you have
solved the Rubiks cube of your life with cases truly
hard then you are fulfill to get handout of the running
notes written by your mind for a total 70 years Thats
not a small value Its 70times12=etc
Now whats a shadow side of your life Its none other
than your emotions Answer to the shadow side of
your life in emotions is depression Not going beyond
and deeper in depression But those who dont know
what is depression -It is the state in which your mind
losses thinking will power and confidence for find-
ing no way in taking the right path for the solution
Depresion acts in making your life a
bit difficult Mind makes all unneces-
sary savages which have a result 0
See the matchmaking here the villain
depression has no hero to be defeated You yourself
are a hero but you sometimes fail to take control over
depression So here motivation plays a extravagant
role
How to solve your life with ease That was our ques-
tion in the start Life isnt easy but definitely you can
decide your life Have a success its good defeating
all sort of gratuitous emotions is better and thinking
optimistically is best Like with what the quote moti-
vatesldquoonly when you illuminate otherswithout ex-
pectation or rewardwill you truly understand how to
illuminate yourselfrdquo only remember dont let you sink
your mind sink and your foolish but previous life to
sink in the deep disarrayed water
The destiny in my hands - Aaryan Aggarwal IX-B
Destiny The word means the inevitable fate or some
events that will necessarily happen to some person in
the future It is however a notion and not a proven
fact as obviously no one can see the future People
believe that what destiny says is the ultimate truth and
absolutely nothing can change it However I beg to
differ as while it may be inevitable it will not neces-
sarily be completely unchangeable To give an exam-
ple a person born into a poor family may believe that
his destiny is poverty and nothing else
However with enough efforts and determination he
she may grow up to be very successful This has led
me to believe that destiny is not any actual power or
anything that can affect our future Rather it is a state
of mind that sometimes may lead to demotivation
This happens because success has never come without
failures In failures we tend to lose
positivity and start becoming nega-
tive and their mindset towards life all
-in-all becomes negative This is
where we begin to believe that this is what destiny had
in store for us and this is exactly what we are going to
get With this preconceived notion people often lose
interest or even give up entirely However since desti-
ny is a figment of a personrsquos mind it can be modified
as and when required
Thus believing in destiny and hoping that the hard-
ships that you have faced are all part of a bigger plan
will give you the motivation to do better and improve
Thus I believe that destiny while not being real to
some extent can change the course of a personrsquos life
Destiny is not unchangeable the power to do so lies in
your very hands

Savior of all Nikita V IXndash A
Our country is safe
Because of you
You protect our country today
And forever yoursquoll do
The tri-colour will glare
Because you are there
And the feelings of love with
Our country we share
Bravery in your fights
And surgical strikes
Salute to you and all
The almighty soldiers
I pledge my glory and
will always be proud of your story
Self Confidence
Anirudh Shetti VI B
Self Confidence is an attitude that allows you to move
forward and achieve your goals Self confidence
means believing in yourself It is an ability that makes
the human believe in himself For example Tim was a
boy who had a stage fear One day he was selected for
the assembly as a reporter On the day of assembly
Tim was very scared to go on the stage Then he
thought about Self confidence Long ago his mother
said him that if a person has Self confidence he can
cross away all the difficulties in his life So at that
time Tim forgot all the fear and became a self confi-
dent boy
On assembly he reported beautifully and he was the
best reporter in the assembly There are some more
other positives like positive thinking concentration
good manners being kind etc Like Theodore Roose-
velt said ldquoEach time we face fear we gain strength
courage and confidence in the doingrdquo I will conclude
my article with this quote ldquoBelieve in yourself and
you will be unstoppablerdquo
Pencil
-Aadya Agarwal V
Once I was drawing with a pencil
But to draw proper shape I need a stencil
I was using a pencil to write a phrase
I wrote it wrong then the teacher said ldquoErase Eraserdquo
I lost my pencil
But it was with my friend Jencil
With that pencil I drew a triangle and a rectangle
But I was not able to find its angle
In English I had to complete punctuation marks
With help of that pencil James drew many sharks
In science there was a chemical blast
My teacher said ldquopencilrsquos life is very vastrdquo
Once more I lost my pencil
It was stuck in my hair
Once again i lost my pencil
But this time it was lost in a fair

Taras intelligence
- Pritika Manohar kadam VIII ndashD
Once upon a time there lived a couple near the town
They were just married and expected a child After a
year they had twins Both were charming Their
names were Yash and Tara
Tara was expected to do the household work and
Yash was to go to school and do a job Tara was an
very intelligent girl so she used to take her brothers
old books and study on her own
One fine day she asked her brother Why every time
I have to do the household work and not study like
you Her brother asked many people but got a com-
mon answer that girls are not meant to study
So both of them decided to ask their father He gave a
confusing answer that if Tara wants to go to school I
can help her to learn and write but which school will
give her admission I cant fight for one girl
She understood what he meant so Tara had an idea
about that She gathered her friends and told them the
importance of education
Next day she gathered them and
went to her father and said you
wont help one girl (me) so can
you help us to study Her father was impressed by her
intelligenceHe took them to the principal who was
his friend and requested him several times about the
admission of the girls
At last one day he agreed to take the admission of
those girls They started going to school everyday
The problem was all the people were frustrated They
used to throw garbage near their house and also say
abusing words Also stop the ways of the girls for
going to school
They also took the house of Tara and Yash They
used to live in a hut with those girls as well
The people used to throw stones on them The girls
did not lose their hopes and studied hard All those
after many years started working in office
The people were proud afterwards and they started a
girls school They gave back house of Yash and Tara
The ordeal to say a lsquogoodbyersquo
-Nidhi Mishra VIII-G
Together we laughed
Together we wept
Myriad fond impressions We kept
Jointly we danced like daisy
We didnrsquot bother about others
We chuckled like crazy
Concerning about the fussy was tempestuous
Together we were scintillating
We were engrossed in
Our cackles were uplifting
Something was sinister I remained keen
That gloominess was undesirable
Not you but our disunion was near
Our parting was lamentable
The distance between us was my fear
Our disunion was forthcoming
I wished I could quit it
Tears from our eyes were running
With those yet we had to split
Years had flown by
Not the echo
The ordeal to say a
lsquogoodbyersquo
And to lose a loyal oppo

My dream House
-Harshith Nair IX-B
Voila I have shifted to my new house
Away from those lizards and that cunning mouse
That was once a basic and simple house
Now canrsquot get over the whoaas and wowws
Ancient doors and artefacts with a palatial tinge
Enter and you would feel yoursquove got wings
Vintage artefacts and interiors add to the glam
quotient
A gramophone an antique
telephone that take you to an
era thatrsquos ancient
To me and my brotherrsquos surprise therersquos an excit-
ing bunk bed
Now who sleeps on the top therersquos gonna be a
bloodshed
I hate boasting but this onersquos the icing on the
cake
Let me tell you friends this was a dream all
fake
Friendship
-Divya Johnson VIII ndash I
Friendship has no form
sometimes it makes us feel secure and warm
Sometimes leaves us cold and forlorn
and sometimes gives us the power to go on
We mistake it often for something materializing
but itrsquos free and artistic
It is hard to catch
no other virtue has its match
Indomitable Earth - Poorvi Sanu IX ndashG
Our global crisis has created a cure
No A treatment for what is in the store
New seasons simmer shorelines bore
Plastics not fake its sweet
Everlasting a love we adore
Are you sure
Intestinal hurdle artwork framed
Mammals fattened by unnatural floating
Wild material machine Unseen
Where does your waste ream
What can I do
It takes more than
one It takes society
Globally to do what
needs to be done
Our footprint is mas-
sive weighty
Join Mother Earth
On our journey here and abroad
Full of disbelief and open scorn
Itrsquos worth the attempt to help her adorn
To help her heal her sores prevent more welts

Travelling via train -Aditya Patil VIII-E
Travelling is a prominent and a fun-learning activity of
our life It introduces us to new people their culture
and enhances skills that are essential in our lives
Travelling gives a wonderful experience to the travel-
ers especially by train I am being so sight to write the
essay lsquocause guess what ldquoI AM TRAVELLING IN
THE BUMPY TRAINrdquo hearing the quarrels for seats
with the bumps of the train
Train to me is the most favourite mode of transport for
long journeys I am sure even others love travelling via
train inspite of the long journey and time But if its
with families or with bachelor friends therersquos no one
stopping them from being happy During travelling we
also get familiar to stops during the journey where
people get off and enter This introduces us to the cul-
ture of those regions
and thatrsquos what makes our
India famous and legend-
ary We also get to eat
those India-famous snacks
from all over India like lsquoShehgaon kachorirsquo lsquo Kol-
hapuri misalrsquo and I would stop here or else I know
your mouth is watering and you wanna eat this
This is what travelling is It increases our general
knowledge as we get across so many new things Trav-
elling by train is much more affordable than aero-
planes where we just have to sit and enjoy the luxury
Travelling will also introduce you to all kinds of peo-
ple like the innocent ones the fighters the caring ones
who surrender themselves for you and sometimes the
people you know So to enjoy these beautiful moments
of life travel once or twice a year to refresh your-
selves
Control Yourself - Suvan Lokhande IX-A
Controlling yourself is something great that you have
achieved in your whole life Controlling a particular
thing with which you get addicted is a big thing Dur-
ing puberty children get addicted to various bad things
such as food mobile TV or maybe food
ldquoControl Yourself Kidrdquo ldquoDone not more than
thisrdquo ldquoControlrdquo such types of sentences maybe
familiar to you which must be said by your mom dad
teachers and your elders But thatrsquos exactly true what
they say I know that itrsquos difficult to leave a particular
thing with which you get addicted But still if you
leave it certainly this can make an impact in your life
I mean to say that leave only bad things and not the
good things like reading or studying Believe it every-
thing is possible in this whole world If Neil Arm-
strong can go to moon then why cannot you leave your
bad habit Lets take an example a
boy who likes to eat a lot he may
like to eat Chinese Continental
Asian and whatever But you must
take care of your fitness too We can
eat whatever we want but in a limit
If you start practicing such good practices you can
surely be the one who has changed his whole life to a
certain life
And these changes can definitely make you proudAt
last my opinions may have some differences but eve-
ryday we get to learn something from our daily experi-
ences And I truly believe that if we make a decision
and start opting it in our daily life we can surely our-
selves make a change in our whole life At last I con-
vey that you need to control yourself and follow this
motto in your lifehelliphellipControl Yourself amp Be the
Change

Nature
- BHUMESH DADHWAL VIImdashC
The earth is full of surprises
Just look around yourself
It can be anywhere around you
Even somewhere in your bookshelf
The most surprising is nature
Itrsquos full of different stuff
It can be a human or thing or even a creature
We humans made strong big buildings
And thatrsquos what we think is great
But look deep in nature
You will find trees plants and Animals everywhere
Some may be mild And some may be wild
Mother nature provides us with our needs
And still we use it for our greeds
Letrsquos join hands together
To save this marvelous creation
For our next generation

Anger Management
- Sfurti Kumbhar IX-A
AngerhellipThe worst of emotions It causes a LOT of
problems Like damaged friendships separated fami-
lies to list a few The list is long But as many people
have tried and failed controlling anger can be impos-
sible at times when the little fuse in your brain blows
off Let us discuss controlling anger today
Basically anger management seems and sounds im-
possible But as it turns out it isnrsquot Itrsquos really simple
To be honest I am a cranky person Even the slightest
bit of annoying thing or the face of an irritating person
blows my fuse off So well yeah Irsquom trying to get it
under control Sort of
Impossible right Managing anger sounds easy You
can distract yourself from the situation Permanently
fix an imaginary meter in your brain which indicates
anger level My meter is always near 50-60 When I
say that Irsquom a cranky person you can see that I mean
it
As I was saying the meter Anytime you feel that the
meter is rising just find some ways to control it Like
the classic ldquodrink cool water to cool down your warm
headrdquo or breathe Listen to your fav music Or ask
yourself this simple question
ldquoIs getting angry at this person or screaming at them
going to improve my day in any way whatsoeverrdquo
If the answer is yes go ahead Scream all that you
want at the person and improve your day But if the
answer is no STOP yourself in time Maybe make
yourself an anger dice Or breathe in Out And may-
be the classic as mentioned above
Frankly these ways have helped me to reduce my
ldquofuse blowing offrdquo times since grade 4 Anger may be
one of the smartest issues but we are smarter
You are a masterpiece - Tisha Gangar VIII-A
There are songs in your eyes
Singing lullabies
The voice is so pretty
That it charms in the whole city
There is dance in your smile
With moves in a pile
You make people laugh
With dance as your better half
There is a magical art
Right inside your heart
Painting pictures which create
memories
That are soothing just like a
breeze
You are a Masterpiece
With an end number of skills
Creativity is your strength
Keep safe till the end
Friend
- Nupoor Teli VIII
Friend is like
the leaves of a tree
With your friend

Friend is the moon
of the shining night
It is the light
that makes your life bright
Friend is the one
who brings out your good

who makes your mood
Friend is like
a blooming flower
A true friendship is
higher than a tower

Monsoon -Isha Bhanushali VIII
The most alluring part in monsoon season is the way
people tackle them Every where you scan people are
struggling back to reach their home back safely and it
indeed gives you a sense of achievement when you
reach home without getting drained by the gushing
water the automobiles blow on youWell my case is a
little bit different Every time I attempt not to step in-
side the puddle the next step will certainly be inside
it
It was raining heavily that day and unlike my usual
days it was a special one I got dispersed from my
classes by 600 and not aware about the conditions
outside I stepped outside expecting my van to pick
me up Suddenly there was gloomy all around and
there was silence everywhere (huh Because the light
went off) and to add insult to injury I got a call from
my Sir that the van will be com-
ing 1 hour late
I after a while made up my
mind I will set out and go on
my ownI took my umbrella and set out with my
friend The roads were all muddy and the water
reached up to my ankle The situation got testified as
it started raining heavily We all expected the rain to
stop after a while but it was adamant throwing its
tantrums on us All over the road there were vehicles
parked and there was no way to move
But not giving up we carried forward to reach our des-
tination After a long tiring journey of 1km (which
took us almost 1hr) we reached our home safely I had
a feeling of accomplishing a big feat that day
But the climax is here
I had to listen to my Moms scolding
Yes because I had stepped inside a big puddle
Soldier - Marisha Nath VIII-C
Dear soldier you sacrifice yourself for your nation
But people think itrsquos your job not your passion
You are a warrior
You are our savior
You are in the list of Godrsquos golden fame
But alas No book mentions your name

Man Woman and Equality Poorvi Sanu IX-G
Why are women considered inferior to men Why is
it so Even in the olden days gender inequality was
very common
Sati widows shravana shraddha managala gaur
akshaya tritiya child marriage karva chauthhellip
etcetera etcetera etceteraWhat do these words re-
mind you of Yep Thatrsquos right These are all systems
for women
These are sacrifices and systems that women perform
for their better halves So that their spouses have a
long and safe life But what do these spouses do in
return Discriminate these women Consider them
inferior I think that only about 15 of men give
equal opportunities and rights to women
This number is increasing no doubt but then this is a
slow processMen work approximately 6 ndash 8 hours a
day Women on the other hand work at least 16
hours a day Yet men get salary and women in some

To all the men and boys reading this I have a few
questions for youDo you have the guts to perform all
housework with 5 guests in the house Do you have
enough courage to change your sur-
name after marriage Do you have
the guts to leave your ancestral home
where you have lived for at least 23
years Are you ready to be dominated
by women More importantly are you ready to listen
to pungent words from your mother-in-law And of
course do you guys have courage to bear a child for 9
months and 9 days and give birth and nurture the ba-
by
Giving birth is simultaneous to fracturing 20 ndash 21
bones at once Did men know this And yet they con-
sider women weak They think that because wersquore
women we cannot thinkIf we cannot think who is
Marie Curie If we are weak who delivers kids
Women arenrsquot any different They are children of
gods They arenrsquot your personal secretaries they are
your partnersOnly a woman knows how much suffer-
ing women go through And yet women are discrimi-
nated daily
What women want is love and respect They work
hard for it they toil day and night and what they get
ishellipabsolutely nothing
Is this right
Submission to Peer Pressure -Akshat Mishra IX -G
ldquoHey Mohan When did you get this new iPhone-Xrdquo
we asked him in surprise as we knew the financial
condition of his family ldquoMy cousin gifted it to merdquo
quipped Mohan sheepishly All the boys resumed
playing but I knew there was something amissPeer
pressure is becoming increasingly inevitable amongst
teenagers One may argue that it is a part of human
nature It may be pivotal for a human being but its
darker side is certainly the more powerful one
People are easily succumbing to peer pressure without
realising its consequences Just to gain respect in
someonersquos eyes they are even ready to quarrel with
their parents and ward their attention from their nec-
essary activities A recent survey suggested that the
maximum people in a rave are a group of teenagers
The clutches of peer pressure are so strong that people
arenrsquot being able to listen even to their conscience
The youth mostly is just littering around the streets
smoking cigarettes boozing or becoming a victim to
social networks sites like Facebook or Instagram Hu-
man resource is the most valuable resource that we
have and the youth are supposed to replenish this re-
source not just to become egoists The are the future
of the planet but sadly they arenrsquot forging the path for
mankind that they are supposed to
Hopefully there is some resistance against this social
evil in modern days Such people have sworn to stay
adamant and not stray from the rightful path These
days of hope do believe in working for the greater
good and are spreading awareness and showing the
society that peer pressure is deleterious sort individual
growth and well being

ldquoFreedom of Press in Democracyrdquo
- Poorvi Sanu IX-G
A free press and a free judiciary are two very important
cornerstones of a democracy Especially in the modern
era of widely accessible news and innumerable infor-
mation at our fingertips freedom of press is highly valued
liberty that citizens should be aware of and know the rea-
son why it is given to us as Indians Freedom means those
people who state the liberty or right and privileged to
speak according to their will
Freedom is that opportunity which we should never avoid
and in all bad situations it gives us all right to handle the
problems in our own innovative and thoughtful way Press
and media are the vital way to express and speech some
views and opinions in a democratic country It is the me-
dium of expressing an opinion of the people It justifies
the individual right to speech and expression a coveted
right enshrined in the Indian constitution and the law of
other countries on the globe
The importance of freedom of press lies in the fact that
for most citizens the prospect of personal familiarity with
newsworthy events is unrealistic In seeking out news the
media therefore acts for the public in large it is the means
by which people receive free flow of information and ide-
as which is essential to intelligence self-governance that
is in turn democracy For a proper functioning of democ-
racy it is essential that
citizens are informed
about news from vari-
ous parts of the coun-
try and even abroad because only then can they form ra-
tional opinions A citizen surely cannot be expected per-
sonally to gather news to enable him or her to form such
opinions Hence the media plays an important role in a
democracy and serves as an agency of the people to gath-
er news for them
It is for this reason that freedom of press has been empha-
sised in all democratic countries while it was not permit-
ted in feudal or totalitarian regimes
In India the media have a great responsibility also to see
that the news they present is accurate and serve the inter-
est of the people If the media convey false news that may
harm the reputation of a person or a section of society it
may do a great damage since reputation is a valuable asset
for a person
Even if the media subsequently correct a statement the
damage done may be irreparable Hence the media should
take care to carefully investigate any news item before
carefully reporting it
I know of a case were the photograph of a High Court
judge who was known to be upright was shown on a TV
New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 22
channel along with that of a known criminal The alle-
gation against the judge was that he had acquired the
land not in any discretionary quota but in the open
market at the market priceAlso sometimes the media
present twisted or distorted news that may contain an
element of truth but also an element of untruth This
too should be avoided because a half-truth can be
more dangerous than a total lie The media should
avoid giving any slant to news and avoid sensational-
ism and yellow journalism Only then will they gain
the respect of the people and fulfil their true role in a
democracySome newspapers espouse the cause of
only one community
ldquoThey do not judge problems on their merits They
view problems from a communal angle Such newspa-
pers do disservice to the nation On the other hand
some responsible newspapers exercise great restraint
while reporting news about riots between two commu-
nities They never give the identity of the community
which started the riot If there are any casualties they
do not give a community-wise break up lest this
should trigger off a bigger riot
In India most of the newspapers are controlled by
business magnates Such newspapers therefore pro-
mote the interest of the capitalists by given tainted
news They pay no heed even to the genuine prob-
lems of the worker^ farmers artisans and other
weaker sections of the people
The press is the defender and the protector of the
rights and liberties of the people But it can per-
form this role only if it enjoys freedom in publish-
ing news views and reporting It can function ef-
fectively only in an open society where decisions are
made in a democratic manner The press should not be
scared of influential people The press should consider
it their duty to protect the right of the workers and oth-
er downtrodden sections of the people
While the press should enjoy freedom to perform its
role effectively it should not treat such freedom as a
licence to defame anybody It should not publish any
views or support any movement which violates our
Constitution or is against the territorial integrity and
unity of the country
To the conclusion As the worldrsquos largest democracy
India has a duty to ensure that the press has the duty to
disseminate information and express opinions without
excessive censorship Unfortunately in recent years
the right has been increasingly curbed This oppres-
sion of press is an alarming trend as it does not allow
for proper checks and balances on the government and
its activities The people of our country need to re-
member that in order to have a strong democracy they
need a strong and free press

Our Future Earth
- Hiya Purswani VIII B
We all know the present condition of our environment
around us Inspite of advanced and modern technolo-
gy we humans are still not able to find a solution
Early humans neither they had much technology nor
they had enough intelligence but still in the early ages
the environment was clean making it the reason for
the increasing life span of humans Its a shocking
news to know that the amount of plastic bottles pro-
duced now may lead to increase in plastic pollution
and cause several death
Its a great opportunity to be as a human in this beauti-
ful earth and so itrsquos our responsibility to make it
clean In monsoon people cut down trees to prevent
accidents to occur but do we plant trees in summer to
prevent more global warming We can prevent bad
things to happen but not cannot take that much efforts
for good things to spread Have you ever wondered
while seeing a tap open how many taps are left open
at the same time in the whole world It might sound
unbelievable there can be a World War III on water
land and fresh air The way we are thinking about the
wastage of water may lead us to a massive pain I trsquos
truly said by Warren Buffet sometimes to buy things
we need we have to sell things we do not need This
happens in the case of lacking of intelligence We say
every scholar is a true genius but in my opinion a per-
son is genius if he has the ability to save and change
things in his own way We all have the ability to save
this earth but our thoughts our ego and our greedi-
ness is stopping us to think in a better way rdquoEveryone
has a good and a bad side in his life What matters is
the part we choose to act upon rdquoThis is an excellent
thought said by Sirius Black in the movie Harry Pot-
ter Itrsquos time to bring a change
We always have time to do good things all we need is
hope Spreading awareness is the best idea to bring a
change If everyone stops thinking about their eco-
nomical needs and start contributing towards the envi-
ronment by planting more trees certainly there will be
a beneficial change in this world Neither do we think
about the future nor care about the present Why not
be an optimist and think in a positive way of life Our
studies our needs our knowledge will not help us in
any way if we donrsquot change Its not that easy to plant a
tree and care for it a whole year but if we only plant it
with all our love nature is certainly going to care for
it Lastly I would like to end with a quote Come
forth in the light of things nature will be your teach-
er
Endeavor
- Heet Shripal Kankariya VII-G
It is hard to recall the past
but good thoughts are forever
Remember the step you took
May it be stupid or clever
Though the time runs out
your hope should never
Dont lose ittry and endeavor
Do your best even if the conse-
quences make your work the worst
Try and try and make your work better
It is hard to recall the past
but good thoughts are forever
Remember the step you took maybe stupid or clever

The Aloof Humans - A curse to mother
earth - Vaijayanthimala Navneet VIII-J
With all the night strength and gust
Preserving nature is must
Mother Nature has been so lucrative
Letrsquos do something to save her
Something new and creativersquo
Let us get pollution under control
Before mother Earth weeps and implores
Let clean air sweep
Both high and deep
Let the tiny piece of land
Be clean tidy and neat
Let uncontaminated water be
So that everything doesnrsquot
end like the sea
Let the tree stand
lsquoCause it is more alluring than the seven colour band
Without being loquacious
Mother nature is indeed precious
The Little girl
- Bhumika Sharma VI-F
I found in a garage
Near the carriage
A tiny little baby girl
She had cute blue eyes
Which were very small in size
And had beautiful hair with a cute little curl
I wonder why she was there
And she came fromhellipwhere
I then asked a person passing on the road
If he knew the merciless who
kept her near the horses and
toads
The person replied ldquoWho cares
O Madamhellip
hellipFor a girl who is denied by her
dad and mum
I felt very sad and cried
But I saved her lest she died
Who will save many such girls
Imagine a world without these pearls
Treat them with respect and love
The Little Guest - Ashwathy Ganesh VI ndashD
It was rainy season
At home came a pigeon
It made its nest and was a pest
But there came another guest
Who shooed away the little pest
First there was nothing but a basket of twigs
And I watched it eating figs
When the thunder came with the rain
I got a bit scared
But it didnrsquot fly away
Because I took care
Soon there were three small
eggs
Which were taken care of by the guest
The bird is easy to guess
Because it doesnrsquot make a mess
With its red tail
It looked a bit frail
Between the plants green full full
Was the nest of the little Bulbul

The Art of Dharma as per Mahabharata
- Abhishek Singh [Teacher SrSecondary]
Dharma means the Duty or RighteousnessDharma is
subtle many times we are forced to take wrong
means for right means(and ends us like Arjuna in hell)
or reaches wrong ends following right means(like
Yudhishthira in exile)Its like the Ying and Yang
Duryodhanarsquos envy for the Pandvarsquos Indraprastha and
Yudhishthirarsquos greed or addiction to a game of dice
and win more territory was the main cause of war
The envy can result in healthy competitiveness raising
oneself up by making the envious work harder for
rivalrsquos possessions or eternal sickness to pull the rival
downThe envy and greed are both presents even in
the
modern day world the failure
of communism was caused by
envy among citizens while the
capitalist system is stranded by greed The aim of so-
ciety should not be to suppress these feelings among
its citizens but to channelize them productively Envy
is the vice of socialism Greed is the evil of capital-
ism
Dharma is not justice Its difference between Retribu-
tive Justice and forgiveness While a nation with
stronger legal laws can prefer justice over peace the
newly created or war-torn nations with weaker legal
laws should prefer to restore peace and harmony in
society rather than emphasizing justice
Beware You are in for a scare
- Ayush Lonakadi IX-C
I had returned home late but after reaching home I had
wished I had not reached home that day There was no
electricity which just made it creepier When I
reached my room my exhaustion made me forget that
I was famished I lay on the bed scrolling down pic-
tures I had recently clicked I relived happy moments
but someone out there wasnrsquot happy to see me happy
and I noticed a photograph in my phone which be-
mused me ndash not mentioning how frightened I had be-
come
The picture waswashow can I explain The back-
ground was of my house In the photoI was
sleeping Butbut how could that have been possi-
ble I lived alone there was no one to click my photo
while I was sleeping I was petrified with my eyes
wide open and my whole body was horror-struck
Then all the unwanted noises came into focus ndash the
noises from outside noises of something creaking and
the wind forcefully blowing through the thin slit of the
window eerily
I was panic-stricken I
quickly switched my
phone off and kept it on
the table beside and did
not bother about changing my clothes and covered my
face with a blanket and hugged it tightly I could not
even think of sleeping Every second the clock ticked
I hugged the blanket harder My face and chest were
drenched in sweat I felt some supernatural move-
ments around me something trying to reach out to
me
By then I was praying to God to take me away from
that place I was ready to die Then something hap-
pened and I became frantic from tip to toe lsquoIt is Tues-
day todayrsquo The virtual assistant of my phone said but
I clearly remembered that I had switched off my
phone Who asked the question It was this trauma
that I couldnrsquot bear and today I am here telling you
this story after turning into a roaming soul Look to
your right I am right beside you

Travelling Aaryan Aggarwal IX - B
Travelling is an experience It doesnrsquot matter where
you travel Every place is great in its own ways You
could go to a culturally rich yet underdeveloped place
or you could go to an advanced metropolitan place
You could travel slow paced or you could be adven-
turous and go off the beaten path You could go to the
beach you could go to a museum It wonrsquot matter as
wherever you go you will always get a new and
different experience The experiences will open your
mind to a whole new world and culture which will
change your understanding and preconceived notions
about that place You will also get an opportunity to
detoxify yourself from social media Thus I believe
that travelling is more than just a hobby and can
change your entire thought process and state of
mind
Wallflower
- Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
She lived under a rock
More by force than by will
She lived there so long
She had nothing to fight with
All these people pushing her down
Her feeble frame could fight no long
She vowed to never stop the struggle
Until she had on her temples the crown
Declaring to the world her change
after years bygone
From being the young shy girl they saw
But all this struggle slowly had her crumbling
As she withered her dreams fading
Cause promises are sometimes left undone
When fate decides to yield a gun
And the world never saw the light
Of a wallflower wishing to shine so bright
Being Myself -Nidhi Mishra VIII-G
I did never lie to myself
Never strived to be someone else
And so I never shy
To look myself straight in the eye
I did never hide myself
And lavish a priceless gift
Having lsquolifersquo as its spell
Being myself Irsquoll uplift
Life is too short
Donrsquot be someone else
A onetime offer we have got
Even more precious than a thousand jewels

Women Empowerment - Devangi Dongre VII-B
The abilities of women in making decisions educa-
tion and profession have been largely suppressed
since ages considering them inferior to men The sit-
uation is worst in underdeveloped and developing na-
tions where women in a family are not allowed to
take financial decisions or decide on matters regard-
ing their own educationWith such state of affairs it
would be a fallacy to dream about the goals of sus-
tainable development and gender equality There is an
instant need to take measures to lift the social
personal and professional
status of women bringing
them shoulder to shoulder
with men These particular
measures constitute a pro-
cess which is known as ldquoWomen Empowermentrdquo
Providing better education and employment opportu-
nities to women ensuring their better health provid-
ing justice and ensuring professional equivalence are
the few methods of women empowerment

He looked from afar at his towering creation A re-
mote island in the Pacific Ocean seemed like a great
refuge after what had been happening on the Earth
He chose secrecy as his mission had raised many eye-
brows The plan was simple lsquoEscape and start overrsquo
Right now Moon seemed to be the most viable option
in terms of survival The research had been done
Moon was habitable So close to our abode our cos-
mic neighbor the Moon must exist for a reason It-
will not just be a secondary habitat but also be a step-
ping stone for further progress
His meticulously crafted plan was now just minutes
away from execution A team of four explorers would
first leave Earth and explore the Moon to test his hy-
pothesis Once a temporary col-
ony using genetically engi-
neered pods containing human
embryos is set up they would
further analyze the surroundings and find ways to
make it more habitable The lesser gravitational pull
which allowed for a comparatively lower escape ve-
locity made it easier to transport resources from the
Earth or the ISS Sure it would be difficult at first
Earth is unmatched but he knew it was for the greater
good of mankind It would mean more opportunities
and help us understand our place in this universe
Right now we have confined ourselves in a box and
this is the only way to leave it and unleash the won-
ders of the universe In front of his eyes it flew never
to come back

Television Pros and Cons
- Soumya Sheth
What do most of the people do these days to entertain
themselvesEveryone likes to switch ON their televi-
sion sets which is one of the exceptional inventions of
science When our Dads come home tired after office
the first thing they would like to do is switch On the
TV and relax while watching it from his sofa seat
This is because while watching different things that
are broadcasted on TV we forget our worries and re-
grets of the day
However like every good and popular inventions tel-
evision also has its set of some worrying habits that
people get hitched to For example sometimes kids
watch it for extensive time thereby affecting their
studies This is one of the most worrying habit for par-
ents and we should know that ignoring studies is not
good for our future and studying is as much important
for us at this tender age more than anything elseItrsquos
true that television can bring us the knowledge from
across the world We can see different parts of the
world virtually sitting at the same place But we
should know how
we can use this
incredible inven-
tion of science in
the right and bene-
ficial way for us Now-a-days Smart TVs have be-
come even more popular We can even use internet on
those TVs Use Google to search for answers we donrsquot
know use YouTube to understand how things are
made or get our doubts cleared and much much more
To summarize it I would like to urge all my fellow
students to use this precious invention of science in a
way that will benefit you to gain constructive
knowledge and avoid destructive knowledge We
should know that television is not the world but only a
small component of this world Please know that there
are other things in life which we should enjoy too
along with giving utmost importance to our studies

The night before the final examination
-Marisha Nath VIII- C
The night before the final examination appears to all
examinees as the night before the Battle of Waterloo
might have appeared to Napoleon or the Duke of Wel-
lington Our system of education being what it is we
examinees are bound to be anxious about the nature of
the nature of the questions we will have to answer
next day Even an earnest student who has done all
that needs be done by way of nervousness uncertainty
and suspense on the night before the examination The
morning of the examination finds them prostate with
nervous disorder
But this is one side the picture There are students
who may be described as soldiers of fortune They are
daredevil youngsters who do not take their examina-
tions seriously But their lack of preparation is more
than made up for by the short cuts or bazar notes they
have provided themselves with Even on the night
before the examina-
tion they would be
going about their
daily rounds They
may be found in the parks cafes and restaurants talk-
ing about tips ndashtalking glibly and confidently about
what questions are sure to come The morning of the
examination finds them as cheerful as they were on
the night before
What is needed most is self-confidence and a cool
head True we do not remember all that we have read
when we go to the Examination Hall This does not
mean that we have forgotten them Many things re-
main in the sub ndashconscious region They jump into
consciousness when we face the questions and seri-
ously think of the answers Often such answers score
more marks than prepared ones

Colourful wrapper shiny and bright
Which one to choose which would be right
Houses made of chocolates and doors made of bars
And out stood there a chocolate car
Soon after it was 6 oclock
And could hear the doorrsquos knock
I woke up in a hurry
Just to realise that it was a dream

The ant and the elephant
- SOUMEN RAO IV-E
Once upon a time in a forest there lived an ant and an
elephant The elephant was the biggest among all the
elephants So he was very proud of himself and used
to criticize everyone and the ant which was the tiniest
among them was very happy and cheerful It used to
help everyone I its own way
All the animals in the forest used to complain about
the egoistic elephant So one day when the ant saw the
elephant walking towards it it immediately thought of
a plan As soon as the elephant came near the ant
said ldquoHello My friendrdquo but the elephant replied rude-
ly saying ldquoYou tiny
ant Get off my way
otherwise yoursquoll get
crushed to deathrdquo
Hearing this ant
challenged the elephant sayingrdquo My big friend I can
make you cryrdquo The ant quickly climbed onto the trunk
of the elephant and ran towards its earit went inside
the ear and started biting the elephants ear The ele-
phant tried to flap its ears but in vain After a few
minutes tears started rolling down its eyes It cried
ldquoPlease come out of my ear I canrsquot bear the painrdquo As
soon as the ant came out the elephant apologized for
its mistake and didnrsquot tease any animals from that day
Grandparents
-Aditya Patil VIII-E
The best place in vacation
A heaven like destination
Their love for us is endless
All their sacrifices are worthless
Great is their surrounding divinity
In front of our ordinary identity
To your grandparents never be rude
Because they are your
coolest dude
They yell at our parents
when we are shouted
With generosity and be-
nevolence they are bounded
Be sure to always meet your grandparents once in a
while and enhance yourself by their presence

Water Conservation
- Paarth Bhagat VII-J
Water is life If there was no water there would be no
life Hence water is the precious gift of God to mother
Earth We cannot imagine our lives without water
We human beings are made up of water it is the only
transportation medium that carries the food molecules
and oxygen to the cells of every body parts to help the
blood It signifies that water is the most essential in-
gredient to the functioning of life of every organism
So you see living this wonderful life is impossible
without water
Water is the force behind all the industry agriculture
manufacturing and trade and commerce All forms of
energy generation is done using water Be it hydroe-
lectrically projects or thermal power plant or nuclear
power plant water is
the key ingredient in
all of them There
would be no power
without water No
water no life
So it is our responsibility to conserve this life nectar
It is possible only through by changing our outlook
towards this wonderful natural resource We must en-
sure there is no pollution of water bodies by dumping
any waste such as sewage effluents and other toxic
substances We must also ensure there is no emission
of green-house gases into the atmosphere The people
and the government must ensure installation of efflu-
ents and smoke treatment plants at industrial garbage
and sewage units

dom called fairyland The babies were very pretty
Their names were Ovi and Riddhi They were growing
pretty well As they grew they became more and
more pretty Over and over they were also fairies and
within 5 years they became young girls Their mother
told them to go to school The girls askedwhere are
the schools There are no schools here Mother said
dont worry you will go to the planet Earth On the
planet Earth there is a very good school named New
Horizon Public School and the short form is nhps We
said ok On the first day of our school we were very
afraid but after a few days we
became more smart than the
others We were getting a lot of
prizes which we shared with
eveyone in the school This
made us and others happy One day We became the
princess of fairyland Our wings were like a rainbow
We were twins and had very long hairs Now I end
my story with a beautiful quote
ALWAYS HELP EACH OTHER LIKE THE
FARIES BECAUSE HELPING PEOPLE IS THE
PATH TO GOD
The Day Irsquoll Never Forget - Saranya Sarangi VII -
It was a day of love and affection
There was no visible sign of caution
But something unfortunate was going to happen
Nobody knew where and when
There was a blast at half past three
In a beauty land called Paradise On Earth
A complete silence and pity hadnrsquot the thee
Perished laid the martyrs
Whom our motherland gave birth
I still remember that scaring sight
The scattered limbs I couldnrsquot see
My heart got filled with grief and fright
No Indian could glee
Terribly writhing the soldiers were seen
Some families languished and some
were crying
So loyal to their country they had been
None of their families were mollifying
Whatever homage to our martyrs we pay
Tiny before their they lay
Salute to their tribute to motherland
To protect us they always walked hand in hand
Little Birdie - Marisha Nath VIII-C
I am a little birdie in the sky
With two wings to fly
I never disturb you
I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom
O human Then why do you steal my FREEDOM
Binding me alone in the cage makes me sad
Donrsquot you know caging a bird is bad
Looking at the sky
I wish I could fly
I never disturb you
I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom
O human Then why do you steal my
FREEDOM

Summers in India - Saranya Sarangi VIII
A hot season beginning from April till May is what we
call summer And thatrsquos the basic rule in India But
thatrsquos not something through which we can define
summers in our country India The sun shining high
above the head increasing the heat and this scorching
heat is something very unique about summers in India
Those ice-lolly stalls roaming down the streets tin-
kling their tiny bells is something special one will nev-
er find in any other country Many people love this
season
Especially the children as they get to eat ice-creams
Many people even donrsquot As they feel that this season
can only make a person dehydrated exhausted and irri-
tated Summer as we think as an unfruitful season is
contrast in reality Schools conduct summer camps
during vacation where stu-
dents can join different aca-
demic and co-curricular
courses to improve them-
selves Many children even spend time with their fami-
lies
Often families plan trips to different places as they get
a very long vacation during this season But now-a-
days due to increasing heat these pleasant summers
are becoming unbearable Every just sweat and sweat
We get a lethargic feeling not ready to do any work
Due to this heat we continually keep the ACs on which
consume a lot of electricity creating trouble for our
mother Earth and us Gradually that charm of the
unique kind of summers will be lost if precautions are
not taken We must really hope and work hard to bring
back our lovely lsquoSummers in Indiarsquo
Exams are good or bad
- Nupoor Teli VIIIndashI
In my humble opinionexams are apressure on the stu-
dents They are forced to study and score good
markswhich can lead to frustration An environmentof
competitivenessof standing first is created for which
students keep on studying day and night without any
recreation It is good to studybut not just for the sake
of gaining marks
Why do we study What is the main intention behind
education Seeking intersresting and fascinating
knowledge as well as facts about the world But now-a
-daysthe main reason for studying is gaining marks If
there are no marksno career andno success This is the
mindset of 70 people of the worldespecially parents
They pressurize their children so much that they get
depressed or sometimes attempt suicide as well
Every two months an exam is conducted Moreo-
verthere are projectssubject-enrichment activi-
tieschapter test sfter every topicnotebookfile submis
sion etcAnd as acherry on top
of the cakewe have the semes-
ter exams of eighty marks as
well What all will the students
do And even if any extra-
curricular activities are being learntthen more extra
studies Just studystudy and study
Why so much of tension on the children Under this
tension only they start cheating As time passes cheat-
ing becomes a habit of their life
I fell that exams should be conducted once a term in
order to evaluate whether the students are clear with
the concepts or notThey shouldnt be pressurized for
their marksbut should be made understand their mis-
takes Let them choose their own career options on
their own Help them knowwhat they like to study and
what they want to do in their life So dont pressurize
students for what they dont likeand encourage them in
what they do After allthey are only the Rising stars of
the country

Life is magical - Piyush Sahoo VII-H
A new day or a new night
Everything in life seems bright
A new morning or a new evening
Life is full of happening
A life is just like a kite
It may disappear in a sight
Life moves from baby to old
Make your life challenging and bold
Enjoy life the fullest
Never accept less than best
Unlikely life comes to an end
But remember never to bend
Happy sadness victory and loss
Accept it the way it comes
Life can be at times tragical
But make it the most beautiful
Life is magicalhellip
Life is so magicalhellip
Humility -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
Humility is having a heart to treat others with respect
and love Considering people worthy of your love
time and efforts regardless of who they are or what
they have done A person is truly humble when they
are willing to work hard for others expecting nothing
in return
Humility has the power to change a personrsquos perspec-
tive towards life It can make a difference in the way a
person is looked upon by others Doing an act of hum-
bleness can make a personrsquos day Humility is about
not having an ego or considering things below your
dignity or considering yourself greater than others
People often confuse humility with self-respect They
canrsquot make out the difference between being useful to
others and being used by others
It takes courage to be humble
because in the era in which we
live humility is looked upon as
weakness People assume yoursquore not strong enough to
stand up for yourself They think you surrender in-
stead of protesting They will despise and scorn you
but they donrsquot know that you take pleasure in what
you do because they havenrsquot experienced that kind of
joy
So if you do have humility donrsquot draw back from it
because of what others think Whatever you are doing
is for the good of others and you have no need to be
ashamed of that Humbleness will spread from person
to person Who knows maybe your one act of humili-
ty will spread on to help a person in need So be brave
be humble
Mom -Tanvi Sawant VII-C
Oh mom I came to this beautiful world just because
of youhellip
Mom what would I do without you
Oh mom there are thorns on the way
But you manage to get me awayhellip
Oh mom I canrsquot say how much yoursquore to me
Mom just promise me that yoursquoll and
always be with mehellip
Oh mom this world is incomplete
without you
Just like the sky without itrsquos bright color bluehellip
Oh mom yoursquore the candle that showed the way in the
dark
My dear mom you made my life spark

Hello I am the Earth
For me I am the sweetest heart
I provide you with lots of stuff

And killing all the species helliphellip
They filling me with smoke and death
They are killing themselves

And preventing my green dress
You can save water
you plant a tree
Make a better home for you on me

OUR FUTURE EARTH - Hiya Purswani VIII-B
We all know the present condition of our environment
around us Inspite of advanced and modern technolo-
gy we humans are still not able to find a solution
Early humans neither they had much technology nor
they had enough intelligence but still in the early ages
the environment was clean making it the reason for
the increasing life span of humans Its a shocking
news to know that the amount of plastic bottles pro-
duced now may lead to increase in plastic pollution
and cause several death Its a great opportunity to be
as a human in this beautiful earth and so its our re-
sponsibility to make it clean In monsoon people cut
down trees to prevent accidents to occur but do we
plant trees in summer to prevent more global warm-
ing We can prevent bad things to happen but not can-
not take that much effort for good things to spread
Have you ever wondered while seeing a tap open how
many taps are left open at the same time in the whole
world It might sound unbelievable there can be a
World War III on water land and fresh air The way
we are thinking about the wastage of water may lead
us to a massive pain Itrsquos truly said by Warren Buffet
sometimes to buy things we need we have to sell
things we do not need This happens in the case of
lacking of intelligence We say every scholar is a true
genius but in my
opinion a person is
genius if he has the
ability to save and
change things in his
own way We all have the ability to save this earth
but our thoughts our ego and our greediness is stop-
ping us to think in a better way Everyone has a good
and a bad side in his life What matters is the part we
choose to act upon This is an excellent thought said
by Sirius Black in the movie Harry Potter Itrsquos time to
bring a change We always have time to do good
things all we need is hope Spreading awareness is the
best idea to bring a change If everyone stops thinking
about their economical needs and start contributing
towards the environment by planting more trees cer-
tainly there will be a beneficial change in this world
Neither do we think about the future nor care about
the present Why not be an optimist and think in a
positive way of life Our studies our needs our
knowledge will not help us in any way if we donʼt
change Its not that easy to plant a tree and care for it a
whole year if we only plant it with all our love nature
is certainly going to care for it Lastly I would like to
end with a quoterdquo Come forth in the light of things
nature will be your teacher
The Small Hours Pranjal Anil Chavan V-C
No more my little song Come back
And now of nights I lay my head on down
to watch the black
And wait the unfailing gray
Oh Sad are winter nights and slow
And sad is a song thatrsquos dumb
And sad it is to lie I know
Another dawn will come

Floods and Destruction
- Nirvi Soni IV-H
India faces occurrence of floods each year in some
parts of Assam during the rainy season Water of river
Brahmaputra rises and enters into many villages
causing great destruction Floods are unavoidable but
we need to take precautions in the following ways by
reducing mining activities building dams growing
more trees etc During floods the weather becomes
wet and gloomy Trees and plants get uprooted This
way floods cause great de-
struction to both life and
property It also becomes dif-
ficult to travel from place to
place Many people are left
homeless The rain water should be harvested and
stored in large storage tanks The harvested rainwater
can be used for washing clothes and cleaning By us-
ing rain water in our daily life we can preserve water
resources
Good Morning Everyone -Vyomi ThakkarVI - H
Come with me wersquoll have some fun
Wersquoll go on a walk
Donrsquot worry will have a great talk
Roaming around the ground
With beautiful birdrsquos sound
We donrsquot know if anything will be found
Wersquoll surely find the crown
Up on the chilled mountain
We saw a beautiful fountain
Surrounded by a beautiful castle
Decorated with the colourful tassel
Just be quiet and keen
Soon you will be the queen
Think before you speak
-Shravya Atreya IX-D
Think before you speak
There are hearts you must please
Think before you speak
You canrsquot undo the harm done after you squeak
Think before you speak
You might have done greater harm than you might
think
Think before you speak
There are still places left for you
to seek
Think before you speak
There is a long way to go before
you sleep
Think before you speak
There are hearts you must
please
Sunrise -Anuradha Singh VII-H
Over the glimmering purple sea
Under the golden sun rise

A sparrow sways upon a tree
staring at his own in the
enamelled sea
Everything is fine
With fading stars and rising light

GLOBAL WARMING - Adhyant Singh VII-F
Global warming refers to the steady rise in the Earthrsquos mean temperature The effect of global
warming had come into sight when polar ice caps started melting this phenomena is called ICE ndash
ALBEDO the ice caps melt faster due to the rise in the temperature This sudden rise in the temperature near
the poles began in 1999 The polar ice caps in Antarctica melt at the rate of 400000000000 tons per year ac-
cording to some scientists it would approximately take 5000 years to melt the total ice on earth In 2013 Inter-
governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) stated that the main cause of Global warming is human inter-
vention like emission of Green house gases like Carbon-Di-Oxide nitrous oxide and methane
These gases trap the heat which is reflected by the Earthrsquos surface thus increasing the temperature and also
destroying the ozone layer which prevents the ultraviolet rays of the sun from reaching the earthrsquos surface Al-
so burning fossil fuel contributes to the problem Effects of global warming have also led to the increase in the
sea level and extreme weather like heat waves and change in the regional pattern of precipitation and the ex-
pansion of desserts A concentrated and focused effort by the entire humanity can curb down the impact of
Global warming and also prevent it Planting more trees to control the amount of carbon-di-oxide eliminating
the use of chlorofluorocarbon or (CFCrsquoS) are a few steps All the countries have signed up with the United Na-
tions Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to prevent the doomsday of Earth So to prevent
earthrsquos doomsday we all must work together
Itrsquos not too late there is still timehellipBefore the earth ends and we whinehellipSo keep on marching and planting
greens To end Global Warming and Make our planet greenhellip
What will happen without Instagram

You will have to study and top
Your fellow followers wonrsquot help either

The Night - Matangi Rajesh VII-D
Its the night
The moon is white
When we switch off the light
What a beautiful sight
After this comes the sun bright
There is no more artificial light
This is the time to start your diet
To go for a run wearing tights
Then comes the evening when
you have snacks light
And fly a big colorful kite
or include your sibling in a pillow fight
Again comes the night
A moon which is white
We switch off the light
A beautiful sight

heavy duty rockets designs and fabricates some of the most sophisticated satellites In a singular achievement
Indiarsquos Mars Orbiter mission or Mangalyaan an unmanned satellite today racing to rendezvous with the red
planet making India a part of a select club of 6 that have dared to undertake the over 680 million kilometer
journey The Indian Space Research Organization ISRO is the Space Agency of Government of India head-
quartered in the city of Bengaluru Its vision is to ldquoharness space technology ldquofor na-
tional development while pursuing space science research and planter exploration
Some achievements of ISRO in 2017
Launching 104 satellites with one rocket
South Asia Satellite (GSAT- 9) launch
Launch of ISROrsquos Fat Boyrsquo
31 satellites in a single flight
Sending another communication satellite in the space
In 2009 Indians maiden mission to the moon Chandrayaan- 1 brought back the first clinching evidence of the
presence of water on the arched lunar surface In more down to the Earth missions Indian satellites are also
helping locate underground water aquifers for some of the poorest and marginal people of India In a way
Indiarsquos space technology is helping everyone

Hyperloop -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
Human inventions have baffled the world They are
innumerable ranging from revolutionizing
smartphones to not-so-breathtaking ice cream cones
but they play a role in our life just the same The
things which are commonplace to us now were unbe-
knownst to people once upon a time For the people of
the 19th century the car was a thing of the future until
in 1885 Karl Benz ran his first car on the road Then
for centuries people took the prospect of of flying like
the birds as only a wild possibility which was made
possible in 1903 when the Wright Brothers flew the
first plane
What is the thing of the future for us Well we are the
future modifying and bettering the things that have
been made and crating stuff that we didnt even dare
to imagine about The Hyperloop fulfills both aspects
of the definition a very advanced model of our faith-
ful train and yet a brand new idea to scale greater
heights The Hyperloop is an ideal mode of efficient
transport Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane
with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing
speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt have to
ace the two types of friction that every other vehicle
has to face Air resistance and ground friction The
pods of the Hyperloop are propelled through a depres-
surized tub Since it is almost vacuum very little air
resistance can be offered inside the tube Due to this
the energy required to travel is also very less The Hy-
perloops unique technology uses magnetic levitation
to guide and lift the pods of the rail Since the pod is
not in contact with the ground there is no friction act-
ing on itThe first Hyperloop ndash virgin Hyperloop one
is set to run with passengers as early as 2021 and is
created by SpaceX and Tesla
The mastermind behind the Hyperloop is Elon Musk
who first published a 58 page white-paper on the web-
site of his company-Space X It was available to all
and was titled Hyperloop alpha The Hyperloop may
be the pioneer of a whole new era of transportation
traveling a distance which would otherwise take 12
hours in just I hour it has crossed all known bounda-
ries and created higher limits for us to reach and reach
we must for when time is money and money is time
an option that saves both needs to be used
Exams are good or bad -Nupoor Teli VIII
In my humble opinion exams are pressure on the stu-
dents They are forced to study and score good marks
which can lead to frustration An environment of com-
petitiveness of standing first is created for which stu-
dents keep on studying day and night without any rec-
reation It is good to study but not just for the sake of
gaining marks
Why do we study What is the main intention behind
education Seeking interesting and fascinating
knowledge as well as facts about the world But now-a
-days the main reason for studying is gaining marks
If there are no marks no career and no success This
is the mindset of 70 people of the world especially
parents They pressurize their children so much that
they get depressed or sometimes attempt suicide as
wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-
ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities
chapter test after every topic notebookfile submis-
sion etc And as cherry on top of the cake we have the
semester exams of eighty marks as well What all will
the students do And even if any extra-curricular ac-
tivities are being learnt then more extra studies Just
study study and study
Why so much of tension on the children Under this
tension only they start cheating As time passes cheat-
ing becomes a habit of their lifeI fell that exams
should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate
whether the students are clear with the concepts or
not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but
should be made understand their mistakes Let them
choose their own career options on their own Help
them know what they like to study and what they want
to do in their life So dont pressurize students for
what they dont like and encourage them in what they
do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the
country

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B
Life is all about interactions You meet people and
you interact You observe them consciously or sub-
consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us
more than we even realise Some people leave a last-
ing impression on us and entirely change the course of
life for better or for worse Some people influence us
help us go further and make all the difference
I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-
tial people They have taken care of me ever since I
came into this world They are the ones who wish the
best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-
cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel
no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-
come a part of my personality They are the ones who
helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me
to be better
When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are
the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-
takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique
learning experience It has made me realise how eve-
rything they do has a reason They are the ones who
have taught me the importance of the little things in
life They are the ones who have helped me recognize
and follow my passion The very thought of them not
being a part of my life is scary to the least as without
them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am
today and whatever I have achieved is all because of
them and I am very grateful of that
Eyesight
-Aditi Shenoy VIII-F
The tired little girl went to bed
Recollecting the days bygone
Seeing them in her dreams
As the day she was born
Trying to see the world
With her little eyes
But the sun with his brightness
Wouldnt let her catch the sights
The girl still eager
And curious to see the world around her
Again opened her eyes
But her vision was blurred
Still she did not lose hope
Which flowed through her blood
Encouraging and pushing her
To see the world further
Her heart beating fast
Her enthusiasm increasing
She slowly tried to see
With her eyes continuously blinking
Starting to lose hope
She was ready to give up
But curiosity got the upper hand
And pushed her forward
With her hope again rising
and strength in her eyesight
She is finally seeing the world
With wide open eyes

Conquering the space
-Marisha Nath VIII-C
ldquoThere is no failure in Science it is only continual
effort to conquer the unknown On the way even if we
face failure it rather adds more value to our effort for
our next journey to know the unknownrdquo
Chandrayan-2 Indiarsquos Moon Mission The dream of
entire India to land on moon and become the 4th Na-
tion in the world to put its flag on the soil of moon
after USSR USA amp China
ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launched
Chandrayan-2 on 22nd July 2019 from Bengaluru
(Satish Dhawan Space Center) under the command of
ISRO chief K Shivan It consists of ORBITER
LANDER amp Lunar Rover PRAGYAN Like Chandra-
yan-1(22nd Oct2008) it was Indiarsquos indigenous moon
mission
It touched the Moon Surface on Saturday early morn-
ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-
ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-
ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of
moon it lost contact with the ground station Because
of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be
monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m
(approx) away from its assigned location near
SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still
orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange
signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it
The ORBITER which will remain active for another
12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-
owed portion of the moon for the first time in history
with the help of its high-resolution camera
The entire Nation irrespective of their field of
knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front
of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of
VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true
Indians who always dream progress and development
of their motherland But our heart never accepts this
as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement
for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-
pose of our mission
But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at
this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring
country quoting this as a big failure on part of India
blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos
money on this
Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will
be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to
this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other
nations on such missions
Further I should say that India is not new in the field
of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-
TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975
It was named after famous scientist of ancient India
ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested
for the first time the HELIOCENTRIC THEORY
(Sun at the center and all planets revolve around the
Sun) of the Solar System much earlier than ready for
New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 57
COPERNICUS as believed in the western world
Other countries might have moon on their flags but
we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is
great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are
whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-
rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is
only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the
unknown and its continual application for the benefit
of the mankind)rdquo
Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by
various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-
PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-
cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958
onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as
46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was
attempted out of which only 21 was successful
Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-
tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the
overall attempts conducted by other Nations
USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-
NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was
planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January
SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR
successfully on moon
NASA after many attempts was successful to send
first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th
July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk
on moon
Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-
clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-
SION MANGAL for our next moon mission

From Principalrsquos Desk
The most important step we can take toward achiev-
ing our greatest potential in life is to learn to monitor
our attitude and its impact on our work performance
relationships and everyone around us
We all have a choice We can choose an inner dia-
logue of self-encouragement self-motivation or we
can choose one of self-defeat and self-pity Itrsquos a
power we all have
Our mind is a computer that can be programmed We
can choose whether the software installed is produc-
tive or unproductive
Our inner dialogue is the software that programs our
attitude which determines how we present ourselves
to the world around us We have control over the
programming Whatever we put into it is reflected in
what comes out
Many of us have behavior patterns today that were
programmed into our brains at a very tender age The
sad reality of life is that we continue to hear negative
information but we donrsquot have to program it into our
brains
The most influential voice we hear is our own inner
voice our selfcritic It can work for or against us de-
pending on the messages we allow
It can be optimistic or pessimistic It can wear us
down or cheer us on We control the sender and the
receiver but only if we consciously take responsibil-
ity for and control over our inner conversation
Habitual bad attitudes are often the product of past
experiences and events Common causes include low
self-esteem stress fear resentment anger and an ina-
bility to handle change
It takes serious work to examine the roots of a harm-
ful attitude but the rewards of ridding ourselves of this
heavy baggage can last a lifetime
School Magazine is a wonderful platform for students to
showcase their talents of creativity writing ideating etc I
appreciate the efforts of all the budding writers and artists
for making this magazine vibrant I thank the entire Editori-
al Team for their good work and support God bless you all

ldquoMicro changes in Life can bring Macro Transformationrdquo
Children should be taught to think We should help them to unfold their imaginations and give life to
their thoughts amp aspirations The Hands on Learning Activities done in class will unleash a wide
spectrum of creative skills This I believe is the strongest factor for success in raising his self esteem
amp the most overwhelming key to a childrsquos success is the attitude by parents by giving the space to the
child and not comparing them to others ldquoThe secret of getting ahead is getting startedrdquo So why not
give them a jumpstart from the grass root level itself
We are pleased to present to you our E-Magazine It is a milestone that marks our growth unfolds
childrenrsquo s imagination to foster a positive learning Environment Letrsquos give them a platform to
think express ampexhibit their skills
I congratulate the editorial team for their hard work in releasing this E magazine

ldquo What you are is Godrsquos gift to you What you become is your gift to God ldquo
Language is one of Godrsquos greatest gift to humans given for the purpose of sharing ideas with others
Without leaving our chairs we can go to all parts of the world We mediate on the wonders of creation
But without the gift of language we would be limited in the ways we can share these ideas Words help
us let others know what we are feeling how much we care or how our hearts are filled with awe and
wonder and gratitude to God for all He has given us
Our School magazine is a mirror reflecting the creativity of young minds of the school I extend my
warm wishes to continue this journey on the road of excellence May God Bless us with wisdom

Sr Coordinator
The school proudly presents its unique creation in the form of the E magazine which serves as a plat-
form to highlight the literary and artistic segment of NHPS family forming a bridge between flowing
thoughts and artistic magnification The magazine also highlights the educational cultural and sports
activities of the institute
Students articles have been instrumental in reflecting their literary spirits and ideals
I appreciate the daunting efforts put in by the team to put together the myriad thoughts into a visual
fest I wish them success for its timely release

A shadow side in me - Sunit Dighe VIII-C
Your life is in your hands How to solve your life with
ease Thats always a big question in a puzzled mind
Synchronizing the answer is always necessary Elabo-
ration the next first lets understand why you get a
human life hereditarily Until and unless you have
solved the Rubiks cube of your life with cases truly
hard then you are fulfill to get handout of the running
notes written by your mind for a total 70 years Thats
not a small value Its 70times12=etc
Now whats a shadow side of your life Its none other
than your emotions Answer to the shadow side of
your life in emotions is depression Not going beyond
and deeper in depression But those who dont know
what is depression -It is the state in which your mind
losses thinking will power and confidence for find-
ing no way in taking the right path for the solution
Depresion acts in making your life a
bit difficult Mind makes all unneces-
sary savages which have a result 0
See the matchmaking here the villain
depression has no hero to be defeated You yourself
are a hero but you sometimes fail to take control over
depression So here motivation plays a extravagant
role
How to solve your life with ease That was our ques-
tion in the start Life isnt easy but definitely you can
decide your life Have a success its good defeating
all sort of gratuitous emotions is better and thinking
optimistically is best Like with what the quote moti-
vatesldquoonly when you illuminate otherswithout ex-
pectation or rewardwill you truly understand how to
illuminate yourselfrdquo only remember dont let you sink
your mind sink and your foolish but previous life to
sink in the deep disarrayed water
The destiny in my hands - Aaryan Aggarwal IX-B
Destiny The word means the inevitable fate or some
events that will necessarily happen to some person in
the future It is however a notion and not a proven
fact as obviously no one can see the future People
believe that what destiny says is the ultimate truth and
absolutely nothing can change it However I beg to
differ as while it may be inevitable it will not neces-
sarily be completely unchangeable To give an exam-
ple a person born into a poor family may believe that
his destiny is poverty and nothing else
However with enough efforts and determination he
she may grow up to be very successful This has led
me to believe that destiny is not any actual power or
anything that can affect our future Rather it is a state
of mind that sometimes may lead to demotivation
This happens because success has never come without
failures In failures we tend to lose
positivity and start becoming nega-
tive and their mindset towards life all
-in-all becomes negative This is
where we begin to believe that this is what destiny had
in store for us and this is exactly what we are going to
get With this preconceived notion people often lose
interest or even give up entirely However since desti-
ny is a figment of a personrsquos mind it can be modified
as and when required
Thus believing in destiny and hoping that the hard-
ships that you have faced are all part of a bigger plan
will give you the motivation to do better and improve
Thus I believe that destiny while not being real to
some extent can change the course of a personrsquos life
Destiny is not unchangeable the power to do so lies in
your very hands

Savior of all Nikita V IXndash A
Our country is safe
Because of you
You protect our country today
And forever yoursquoll do
The tri-colour will glare
Because you are there
And the feelings of love with
Our country we share
Bravery in your fights
And surgical strikes
Salute to you and all
The almighty soldiers
I pledge my glory and

Self Confidence
Anirudh Shetti VI B
Self Confidence is an attitude that allows you to move
forward and achieve your goals Self confidence
means believing in yourself It is an ability that makes
the human believe in himself For example Tim was a
boy who had a stage fear One day he was selected for
the assembly as a reporter On the day of assembly
Tim was very scared to go on the stage Then he
thought about Self confidence Long ago his mother
said him that if a person has Self confidence he can
cross away all the difficulties in his life So at that
time Tim forgot all the fear and became a self confi-
dent boy
On assembly he reported beautifully and he was the
best reporter in the assembly There are some more
other positives like positive thinking concentration
good manners being kind etc Like Theodore Roose-
velt said ldquoEach time we face fear we gain strength
courage and confidence in the doingrdquo I will conclude
my article with this quote ldquoBelieve in yourself and
you will be unstoppablerdquo
Pencil
-Aadya Agarwal V
Once I was drawing with a pencil
But to draw proper shape I need a stencil
I was using a pencil to write a phrase
I wrote it wrong then the teacher said ldquoErase Eraserdquo
I lost my pencil
But it was with my friend Jencil
With that pencil I drew a triangle and a rectangle
But I was not able to find its angle
In English I had to complete punctuation marks
With help of that pencil James drew many sharks
In science there was a chemical blast
My teacher said ldquopencilrsquos life is very vastrdquo
Once more I lost my pencil
It was stuck in my hair
Once again i lost my pencil
But this time it was lost in a fair

Taras intelligence
- Pritika Manohar kadam VIII ndashD
Once upon a time there lived a couple near the town
They were just married and expected a child After a
year they had twins Both were charming Their
names were Yash and Tara
Tara was expected to do the household work and
Yash was to go to school and do a job Tara was an
very intelligent girl so she used to take her brothers
old books and study on her own
One fine day she asked her brother Why every time
I have to do the household work and not study like
you Her brother asked many people but got a com-
mon answer that girls are not meant to study
So both of them decided to ask their father He gave a
confusing answer that if Tara wants to go to school I
can help her to learn and write but which school will
give her admission I cant fight for one girl
She understood what he meant so Tara had an idea
about that She gathered her friends and told them the
importance of education
Next day she gathered them and
went to her father and said you
wont help one girl (me) so can
you help us to study Her father was impressed by her
intelligenceHe took them to the principal who was
his friend and requested him several times about the
admission of the girls
At last one day he agreed to take the admission of
those girls They started going to school everyday
The problem was all the people were frustrated They
used to throw garbage near their house and also say
abusing words Also stop the ways of the girls for
going to school
They also took the house of Tara and Yash They
used to live in a hut with those girls as well
The people used to throw stones on them The girls
did not lose their hopes and studied hard All those
after many years started working in office
The people were proud afterwards and they started a
girls school They gave back house of Yash and Tara
The ordeal to say a lsquogoodbyersquo
-Nidhi Mishra VIII-G
Together we laughed
Together we wept
Myriad fond impressions We kept
Jointly we danced like daisy
We didnrsquot bother about others
We chuckled like crazy
Concerning about the fussy was tempestuous
Together we were scintillating
We were engrossed in
Our cackles were uplifting
Something was sinister I remained keen
That gloominess was undesirable
Not you but our disunion was near
Our parting was lamentable
The distance between us was my fear
Our disunion was forthcoming
I wished I could quit it
Tears from our eyes were running
With those yet we had to split
Years had flown by
Not the echo
The ordeal to say a
lsquogoodbyersquo
And to lose a loyal oppo

My dream House
-Harshith Nair IX-B
Voila I have shifted to my new house
Away from those lizards and that cunning mouse
That was once a basic and simple house
Now canrsquot get over the whoaas and wowws
Ancient doors and artefacts with a palatial tinge
Enter and you would feel yoursquove got wings
Vintage artefacts and interiors add to the glam
quotient
A gramophone an antique
telephone that take you to an
era thatrsquos ancient
To me and my brotherrsquos surprise therersquos an excit-
ing bunk bed
Now who sleeps on the top therersquos gonna be a
bloodshed
I hate boasting but this onersquos the icing on the
cake
Let me tell you friends this was a dream all
fake
Friendship
-Divya Johnson VIII ndash I
Friendship has no form
sometimes it makes us feel secure and warm
Sometimes leaves us cold and forlorn
and sometimes gives us the power to go on
We mistake it often for something materializing
but itrsquos free and artistic
It is hard to catch
no other virtue has its match
Indomitable Earth - Poorvi Sanu IX ndashG
Our global crisis has created a cure
No A treatment for what is in the store
New seasons simmer shorelines bore
Plastics not fake its sweet
Everlasting a love we adore
Are you sure
Intestinal hurdle artwork framed
Mammals fattened by unnatural floating
Wild material machine Unseen
Where does your waste ream
What can I do
It takes more than
one It takes society
Globally to do what
needs to be done
Our footprint is mas-
sive weighty
Join Mother Earth
On our journey here and abroad
Full of disbelief and open scorn
Itrsquos worth the attempt to help her adorn
To help her heal her sores prevent more welts

Travelling via train -Aditya Patil VIII-E
Travelling is a prominent and a fun-learning activity of
our life It introduces us to new people their culture
and enhances skills that are essential in our lives
Travelling gives a wonderful experience to the travel-
ers especially by train I am being so sight to write the
essay lsquocause guess what ldquoI AM TRAVELLING IN
THE BUMPY TRAINrdquo hearing the quarrels for seats
with the bumps of the train
Train to me is the most favourite mode of transport for
long journeys I am sure even others love travelling via
train inspite of the long journey and time But if its
with families or with bachelor friends therersquos no one
stopping them from being happy During travelling we
also get familiar to stops during the journey where
people get off and enter This introduces us to the cul-
ture of those regions
and thatrsquos what makes our
India famous and legend-
ary We also get to eat
those India-famous snacks
from all over India like lsquoShehgaon kachorirsquo lsquo Kol-
hapuri misalrsquo and I would stop here or else I know
your mouth is watering and you wanna eat this
This is what travelling is It increases our general
knowledge as we get across so many new things Trav-
elling by train is much more affordable than aero-
planes where we just have to sit and enjoy the luxury
Travelling will also introduce you to all kinds of peo-
ple like the innocent ones the fighters the caring ones
who surrender themselves for you and sometimes the
people you know So to enjoy these beautiful moments
of life travel once or twice a year to refresh your-
selves
Control Yourself - Suvan Lokhande IX-A
Controlling yourself is something great that you have
achieved in your whole life Controlling a particular
thing with which you get addicted is a big thing Dur-
ing puberty children get addicted to various bad things
such as food mobile TV or maybe food
ldquoControl Yourself Kidrdquo ldquoDone not more than
thisrdquo ldquoControlrdquo such types of sentences maybe
familiar to you which must be said by your mom dad
teachers and your elders But thatrsquos exactly true what
they say I know that itrsquos difficult to leave a particular
thing with which you get addicted But still if you
leave it certainly this can make an impact in your life
I mean to say that leave only bad things and not the
good things like reading or studying Believe it every-
thing is possible in this whole world If Neil Arm-
strong can go to moon then why cannot you leave your
bad habit Lets take an example a
boy who likes to eat a lot he may
like to eat Chinese Continental
Asian and whatever But you must
take care of your fitness too We can
eat whatever we want but in a limit
If you start practicing such good practices you can
surely be the one who has changed his whole life to a
certain life
And these changes can definitely make you proudAt
last my opinions may have some differences but eve-
ryday we get to learn something from our daily experi-
ences And I truly believe that if we make a decision
and start opting it in our daily life we can surely our-
selves make a change in our whole life At last I con-
vey that you need to control yourself and follow this
motto in your lifehelliphellipControl Yourself amp Be the
Change

The earth is full of surprises

We humans made strong big buildings

But look deep in nature
You will find trees plants and Animals everywhere

Anger Management
- Sfurti Kumbhar IX-A
AngerhellipThe worst of emotions It causes a LOT of
problems Like damaged friendships separated fami-
lies to list a few The list is long But as many people
have tried and failed controlling anger can be impos-
sible at times when the little fuse in your brain blows
off Let us discuss controlling anger today
Basically anger management seems and sounds im-
possible But as it turns out it isnrsquot Itrsquos really simple
To be honest I am a cranky person Even the slightest
bit of annoying thing or the face of an irritating person
blows my fuse off So well yeah Irsquom trying to get it
under control Sort of
Impossible right Managing anger sounds easy You
can distract yourself from the situation Permanently
fix an imaginary meter in your brain which indicates
anger level My meter is always near 50-60 When I
say that Irsquom a cranky person you can see that I mean
it
As I was saying the meter Anytime you feel that the
meter is rising just find some ways to control it Like
the classic ldquodrink cool water to cool down your warm
headrdquo or breathe Listen to your fav music Or ask
yourself this simple question
ldquoIs getting angry at this person or screaming at them
going to improve my day in any way whatsoeverrdquo
If the answer is yes go ahead Scream all that you
want at the person and improve your day But if the
answer is no STOP yourself in time Maybe make
yourself an anger dice Or breathe in Out And may-
be the classic as mentioned above
Frankly these ways have helped me to reduce my
ldquofuse blowing offrdquo times since grade 4 Anger may be
one of the smartest issues but we are smarter
You are a masterpiece - Tisha Gangar VIII-A
There are songs in your eyes
Singing lullabies
The voice is so pretty
That it charms in the whole city
There is dance in your smile
With moves in a pile

There is a magical art
Right inside your heart
Painting pictures which create
memories
That are soothing just like a
breeze
You are a Masterpiece
With an end number of skills
Creativity is your strength
Keep safe till the end

Monsoon -Isha Bhanushali VIII
The most alluring part in monsoon season is the way
people tackle them Every where you scan people are
struggling back to reach their home back safely and it
indeed gives you a sense of achievement when you
reach home without getting drained by the gushing
water the automobiles blow on youWell my case is a
little bit different Every time I attempt not to step in-
side the puddle the next step will certainly be inside
it
It was raining heavily that day and unlike my usual
days it was a special one I got dispersed from my
classes by 600 and not aware about the conditions
outside I stepped outside expecting my van to pick
me up Suddenly there was gloomy all around and
there was silence everywhere (huh Because the light
went off) and to add insult to injury I got a call from
my Sir that the van will be com-
ing 1 hour late
I after a while made up my
mind I will set out and go on
my ownI took my umbrella and set out with my
friend The roads were all muddy and the water
reached up to my ankle The situation got testified as
it started raining heavily We all expected the rain to
stop after a while but it was adamant throwing its
tantrums on us All over the road there were vehicles
parked and there was no way to move
But not giving up we carried forward to reach our des-
tination After a long tiring journey of 1km (which
took us almost 1hr) we reached our home safely I had
a feeling of accomplishing a big feat that day
But the climax is here
I had to listen to my Moms scolding
Yes because I had stepped inside a big puddle
Soldier - Marisha Nath VIII-C
Dear soldier you sacrifice yourself for your nation
But people think itrsquos your job not your passion
You are a warrior
You are our savior
You are in the list of Godrsquos golden fame
But alas No book mentions your name

Man Woman and Equality Poorvi Sanu IX-G
Why are women considered inferior to men Why is
it so Even in the olden days gender inequality was
very common
Sati widows shravana shraddha managala gaur
akshaya tritiya child marriage karva chauthhellip
etcetera etcetera etceteraWhat do these words re-
mind you of Yep Thatrsquos right These are all systems
for women
These are sacrifices and systems that women perform
for their better halves So that their spouses have a
long and safe life But what do these spouses do in
return Discriminate these women Consider them
inferior I think that only about 15 of men give
equal opportunities and rights to women
This number is increasing no doubt but then this is a
slow processMen work approximately 6 ndash 8 hours a
day Women on the other hand work at least 16
hours a day Yet men get salary and women in some
cases donrsquot
To all the men and boys reading this I have a few
questions for youDo you have the guts to perform all
housework with 5 guests in the house Do you have
enough courage to change your sur-
name after marriage Do you have
the guts to leave your ancestral home
where you have lived for at least 23
years Are you ready to be dominated
by women More importantly are you ready to listen
to pungent words from your mother-in-law And of
course do you guys have courage to bear a child for 9
months and 9 days and give birth and nurture the ba-
by
Giving birth is simultaneous to fracturing 20 ndash 21
bones at once Did men know this And yet they con-
sider women weak They think that because wersquore
women we cannot thinkIf we cannot think who is
Marie Curie If we are weak who delivers kids
Women arenrsquot any different They are children of
gods They arenrsquot your personal secretaries they are
your partnersOnly a woman knows how much suffer-
ing women go through And yet women are discrimi-
nated daily
What women want is love and respect They work
hard for it they toil day and night and what they get
ishellipabsolutely nothing
Is this right
Submission to Peer Pressure -Akshat Mishra IX -G
ldquoHey Mohan When did you get this new iPhone-Xrdquo
we asked him in surprise as we knew the financial
condition of his family ldquoMy cousin gifted it to merdquo
quipped Mohan sheepishly All the boys resumed
playing but I knew there was something amissPeer
pressure is becoming increasingly inevitable amongst
teenagers One may argue that it is a part of human
nature It may be pivotal for a human being but its
darker side is certainly the more powerful one
People are easily succumbing to peer pressure without
realising its consequences Just to gain respect in
someonersquos eyes they are even ready to quarrel with
their parents and ward their attention from their nec-
essary activities A recent survey suggested that the
maximum people in a rave are a group of teenagers
The clutches of peer pressure are so strong that people
arenrsquot being able to listen even to their conscience
The youth mostly is just littering around the streets
smoking cigarettes boozing or becoming a victim to
social networks sites like Facebook or Instagram Hu-
man resource is the most valuable resource that we
have and the youth are supposed to replenish this re-
source not just to become egoists The are the future
of the planet but sadly they arenrsquot forging the path for
mankind that they are supposed to
Hopefully there is some resistance against this social
evil in modern days Such people have sworn to stay
adamant and not stray from the rightful path These
days of hope do believe in working for the greater
good and are spreading awareness and showing the
society that peer pressure is deleterious sort individual
growth and well being

ldquoFreedom of Press in Democracyrdquo
- Poorvi Sanu IX-G
A free press and a free judiciary are two very important
cornerstones of a democracy Especially in the modern
era of widely accessible news and innumerable infor-
mation at our fingertips freedom of press is highly valued
liberty that citizens should be aware of and know the rea-
son why it is given to us as Indians Freedom means those
people who state the liberty or right and privileged to
speak according to their will
Freedom is that opportunity which we should never avoid
and in all bad situations it gives us all right to handle the
problems in our own innovative and thoughtful way Press
and media are the vital way to express and speech some
views and opinions in a democratic country It is the me-
dium of expressing an opinion of the people It justifies
the individual right to speech and expression a coveted
right enshrined in the Indian constitution and the law of
other countries on the globe
The importance of freedom of press lies in the fact that
for most citizens the prospect of personal familiarity with
newsworthy events is unrealistic In seeking out news the
media therefore acts for the public in large it is the means
by which people receive free flow of information and ide-
as which is essential to intelligence self-governance that
is in turn democracy For a proper functioning of democ-
racy it is essential that
citizens are informed
about news from vari-
ous parts of the coun-
try and even abroad because only then can they form ra-
tional opinions A citizen surely cannot be expected per-
sonally to gather news to enable him or her to form such
opinions Hence the media plays an important role in a
democracy and serves as an agency of the people to gath-
er news for them
It is for this reason that freedom of press has been empha-
sised in all democratic countries while it was not permit-
ted in feudal or totalitarian regimes
In India the media have a great responsibility also to see
that the news they present is accurate and serve the inter-
est of the people If the media convey false news that may
harm the reputation of a person or a section of society it
may do a great damage since reputation is a valuable asset
for a person
Even if the media subsequently correct a statement the
damage done may be irreparable Hence the media should
take care to carefully investigate any news item before
carefully reporting it
I know of a case were the photograph of a High Court
judge who was known to be upright was shown on a TV
New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 22
channel along with that of a known criminal The alle-
gation against the judge was that he had acquired the
land not in any discretionary quota but in the open
market at the market priceAlso sometimes the media
present twisted or distorted news that may contain an
element of truth but also an element of untruth This
too should be avoided because a half-truth can be
more dangerous than a total lie The media should
avoid giving any slant to news and avoid sensational-
ism and yellow journalism Only then will they gain
the respect of the people and fulfil their true role in a
democracySome newspapers espouse the cause of
only one community
ldquoThey do not judge problems on their merits They
view problems from a communal angle Such newspa-
pers do disservice to the nation On the other hand
some responsible newspapers exercise great restraint
while reporting news about riots between two commu-
nities They never give the identity of the community
which started the riot If there are any casualties they
do not give a community-wise break up lest this
should trigger off a bigger riot
In India most of the newspapers are controlled by
business magnates Such newspapers therefore pro-
mote the interest of the capitalists by given tainted
news They pay no heed even to the genuine prob-
lems of the worker^ farmers artisans and other
weaker sections of the people
The press is the defender and the protector of the
rights and liberties of the people But it can per-
form this role only if it enjoys freedom in publish-
ing news views and reporting It can function ef-
fectively only in an open society where decisions are
made in a democratic manner The press should not be
scared of influential people The press should consider
it their duty to protect the right of the workers and oth-
er downtrodden sections of the people
While the press should enjoy freedom to perform its
role effectively it should not treat such freedom as a
licence to defame anybody It should not publish any
views or support any movement which violates our
Constitution or is against the territorial integrity and
unity of the country
To the conclusion As the worldrsquos largest democracy
India has a duty to ensure that the press has the duty to
disseminate information and express opinions without
excessive censorship Unfortunately in recent years
the right has been increasingly curbed This oppres-
sion of press is an alarming trend as it does not allow
for proper checks and balances on the government and
its activities The people of our country need to re-
member that in order to have a strong democracy they
need a strong and free press

Our Future Earth
- Hiya Purswani VIII B
We all know the present condition of our environment
around us Inspite of advanced and modern technolo-
gy we humans are still not able to find a solution
Early humans neither they had much technology nor
they had enough intelligence but still in the early ages
the environment was clean making it the reason for
the increasing life span of humans Its a shocking
news to know that the amount of plastic bottles pro-
duced now may lead to increase in plastic pollution
and cause several death
Its a great opportunity to be as a human in this beauti-
ful earth and so itrsquos our responsibility to make it
clean In monsoon people cut down trees to prevent
accidents to occur but do we plant trees in summer to
prevent more global warming We can prevent bad
things to happen but not cannot take that much efforts
for good things to spread Have you ever wondered
while seeing a tap open how many taps are left open
at the same time in the whole world It might sound
unbelievable there can be a World War III on water
land and fresh air The way we are thinking about the
wastage of water may lead us to a massive pain I trsquos
truly said by Warren Buffet sometimes to buy things
we need we have to sell things we do not need This
happens in the case of lacking of intelligence We say
every scholar is a true genius but in my opinion a per-
son is genius if he has the ability to save and change
things in his own way We all have the ability to save
this earth but our thoughts our ego and our greedi-
ness is stopping us to think in a better way rdquoEveryone
has a good and a bad side in his life What matters is
the part we choose to act upon rdquoThis is an excellent
thought said by Sirius Black in the movie Harry Pot-
ter Itrsquos time to bring a change
We always have time to do good things all we need is
hope Spreading awareness is the best idea to bring a
change If everyone stops thinking about their eco-
nomical needs and start contributing towards the envi-
ronment by planting more trees certainly there will be
a beneficial change in this world Neither do we think
about the future nor care about the present Why not
be an optimist and think in a positive way of life Our
studies our needs our knowledge will not help us in
any way if we donrsquot change Its not that easy to plant a
tree and care for it a whole year but if we only plant it
with all our love nature is certainly going to care for
it Lastly I would like to end with a quote Come
forth in the light of things nature will be your teach-
er
Endeavor
- Heet Shripal Kankariya VII-G
It is hard to recall the past
but good thoughts are forever
Remember the step you took
May it be stupid or clever
Though the time runs out
your hope should never
Dont lose ittry and endeavor
Do your best even if the conse-
quences make your work the worst
Try and try and make your work better
It is hard to recall the past
but good thoughts are forever
Remember the step you took maybe stupid or clever

The Aloof Humans - A curse to mother
earth - Vaijayanthimala Navneet VIII-J
With all the night strength and gust
Preserving nature is must
Mother Nature has been so lucrative
Letrsquos do something to save her
Something new and creativersquo
Let us get pollution under control
Before mother Earth weeps and implores
Let clean air sweep
Both high and deep
Let the tiny piece of land
Be clean tidy and neat
Let uncontaminated water be
So that everything doesnrsquot
end like the sea
Let the tree stand
lsquoCause it is more alluring than the seven colour band
Without being loquacious
Mother nature is indeed precious
The Little girl
- Bhumika Sharma VI-F
I found in a garage
Near the carriage
A tiny little baby girl
She had cute blue eyes
Which were very small in size
And had beautiful hair with a cute little curl
I wonder why she was there
And she came fromhellipwhere
I then asked a person passing on the road
If he knew the merciless who
kept her near the horses and
toads
The person replied ldquoWho cares
O Madamhellip
hellipFor a girl who is denied by her
dad and mum
I felt very sad and cried
But I saved her lest she died
Who will save many such girls
Imagine a world without these pearls
Treat them with respect and love
The Little Guest - Ashwathy Ganesh VI ndashD
It was rainy season
At home came a pigeon
It made its nest and was a pest
But there came another guest
Who shooed away the little pest
First there was nothing but a basket of twigs
And I watched it eating figs
When the thunder came with the rain
I got a bit scared
But it didnrsquot fly away
Because I took care
Soon there were three small
eggs
Which were taken care of by the guest
The bird is easy to guess
Because it doesnrsquot make a mess
With its red tail
It looked a bit frail
Between the plants green full full
Was the nest of the little Bulbul

The Art of Dharma as per Mahabharata
- Abhishek Singh [Teacher SrSecondary]
Dharma means the Duty or RighteousnessDharma is
subtle many times we are forced to take wrong
means for right means(and ends us like Arjuna in hell)
or reaches wrong ends following right means(like
Yudhishthira in exile)Its like the Ying and Yang
Duryodhanarsquos envy for the Pandvarsquos Indraprastha and
Yudhishthirarsquos greed or addiction to a game of dice
and win more territory was the main cause of war
The envy can result in healthy competitiveness raising
oneself up by making the envious work harder for
rivalrsquos possessions or eternal sickness to pull the rival
downThe envy and greed are both presents even in
the
modern day world the failure
of communism was caused by
envy among citizens while the
capitalist system is stranded by greed The aim of so-
ciety should not be to suppress these feelings among
its citizens but to channelize them productively Envy
is the vice of socialism Greed is the evil of capital-
ism
Dharma is not justice Its difference between Retribu-
tive Justice and forgiveness While a nation with
stronger legal laws can prefer justice over peace the
newly created or war-torn nations with weaker legal
laws should prefer to restore peace and harmony in
society rather than emphasizing justice
Beware You are in for a scare
- Ayush Lonakadi IX-C
I had returned home late but after reaching home I had
wished I had not reached home that day There was no
electricity which just made it creepier When I
reached my room my exhaustion made me forget that
I was famished I lay on the bed scrolling down pic-
tures I had recently clicked I relived happy moments
but someone out there wasnrsquot happy to see me happy
and I noticed a photograph in my phone which be-
mused me ndash not mentioning how frightened I had be-
come
The picture waswashow can I explain The back-
ground was of my house In the photoI was
sleeping Butbut how could that have been possi-
ble I lived alone there was no one to click my photo
while I was sleeping I was petrified with my eyes
wide open and my whole body was horror-struck
Then all the unwanted noises came into focus ndash the
noises from outside noises of something creaking and
the wind forcefully blowing through the thin slit of the
window eerily
I was panic-stricken I
quickly switched my
phone off and kept it on
the table beside and did
not bother about changing my clothes and covered my
face with a blanket and hugged it tightly I could not
even think of sleeping Every second the clock ticked
I hugged the blanket harder My face and chest were
drenched in sweat I felt some supernatural move-
ments around me something trying to reach out to
me
By then I was praying to God to take me away from
that place I was ready to die Then something hap-
pened and I became frantic from tip to toe lsquoIt is Tues-
day todayrsquo The virtual assistant of my phone said but
I clearly remembered that I had switched off my
phone Who asked the question It was this trauma
that I couldnrsquot bear and today I am here telling you
this story after turning into a roaming soul Look to
your right I am right beside you

Travelling Aaryan Aggarwal IX - B
Travelling is an experience It doesnrsquot matter where
you travel Every place is great in its own ways You
could go to a culturally rich yet underdeveloped place
or you could go to an advanced metropolitan place
You could travel slow paced or you could be adven-
turous and go off the beaten path You could go to the
beach you could go to a museum It wonrsquot matter as
wherever you go you will always get a new and
different experience The experiences will open your
mind to a whole new world and culture which will
change your understanding and preconceived notions
about that place You will also get an opportunity to
detoxify yourself from social media Thus I believe
that travelling is more than just a hobby and can
change your entire thought process and state of
mind
Wallflower
- Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
She lived under a rock
More by force than by will
She lived there so long
She had nothing to fight with
All these people pushing her down
Her feeble frame could fight no long
She vowed to never stop the struggle
Until she had on her temples the crown
Declaring to the world her change
after years bygone
From being the young shy girl they saw
But all this struggle slowly had her crumbling
As she withered her dreams fading
Cause promises are sometimes left undone
When fate decides to yield a gun
And the world never saw the light
Of a wallflower wishing to shine so bright
Being Myself -Nidhi Mishra VIII-G
I did never lie to myself
Never strived to be someone else
And so I never shy
To look myself straight in the eye
I did never hide myself
And lavish a priceless gift
Having lsquolifersquo as its spell
Being myself Irsquoll uplift
Life is too short
Donrsquot be someone else
A onetime offer we have got
Even more precious than a thousand jewels

Women Empowerment - Devangi Dongre VII-B
The abilities of women in making decisions educa-
tion and profession have been largely suppressed
since ages considering them inferior to men The sit-
uation is worst in underdeveloped and developing na-
tions where women in a family are not allowed to
take financial decisions or decide on matters regard-
ing their own educationWith such state of affairs it
would be a fallacy to dream about the goals of sus-
tainable development and gender equality There is an
instant need to take measures to lift the social
personal and professional
status of women bringing
them shoulder to shoulder
with men These particular
measures constitute a pro-
cess which is known as ldquoWomen Empowermentrdquo
Providing better education and employment opportu-
nities to women ensuring their better health provid-
ing justice and ensuring professional equivalence are
the few methods of women empowerment

He looked from afar at his towering creation A re-
mote island in the Pacific Ocean seemed like a great
refuge after what had been happening on the Earth
He chose secrecy as his mission had raised many eye-
brows The plan was simple lsquoEscape and start overrsquo
Right now Moon seemed to be the most viable option
in terms of survival The research had been done
Moon was habitable So close to our abode our cos-
mic neighbor the Moon must exist for a reason It-
will not just be a secondary habitat but also be a step-
ping stone for further progress
His meticulously crafted plan was now just minutes
away from execution A team of four explorers would
first leave Earth and explore the Moon to test his hy-
pothesis Once a temporary col-
ony using genetically engi-
neered pods containing human
embryos is set up they would
further analyze the surroundings and find ways to
make it more habitable The lesser gravitational pull
which allowed for a comparatively lower escape ve-
locity made it easier to transport resources from the
Earth or the ISS Sure it would be difficult at first
Earth is unmatched but he knew it was for the greater
good of mankind It would mean more opportunities
and help us understand our place in this universe
Right now we have confined ourselves in a box and
this is the only way to leave it and unleash the won-
ders of the universe In front of his eyes it flew never
to come back

Television Pros and Cons
- Soumya Sheth
What do most of the people do these days to entertain
themselvesEveryone likes to switch ON their televi-
sion sets which is one of the exceptional inventions of
science When our Dads come home tired after office
the first thing they would like to do is switch On the
TV and relax while watching it from his sofa seat
This is because while watching different things that
are broadcasted on TV we forget our worries and re-
grets of the day
However like every good and popular inventions tel-
evision also has its set of some worrying habits that
people get hitched to For example sometimes kids
watch it for extensive time thereby affecting their
studies This is one of the most worrying habit for par-
ents and we should know that ignoring studies is not
good for our future and studying is as much important
for us at this tender age more than anything elseItrsquos
true that television can bring us the knowledge from
across the world We can see different parts of the
world virtually sitting at the same place But we
should know how
we can use this
incredible inven-
tion of science in
the right and bene-
ficial way for us Now-a-days Smart TVs have be-
come even more popular We can even use internet on
those TVs Use Google to search for answers we donrsquot
know use YouTube to understand how things are
made or get our doubts cleared and much much more
To summarize it I would like to urge all my fellow
students to use this precious invention of science in a
way that will benefit you to gain constructive
knowledge and avoid destructive knowledge We
should know that television is not the world but only a
small component of this world Please know that there
are other things in life which we should enjoy too
along with giving utmost importance to our studies

The night before the final examination
-Marisha Nath VIII- C
The night before the final examination appears to all
examinees as the night before the Battle of Waterloo
might have appeared to Napoleon or the Duke of Wel-
lington Our system of education being what it is we
examinees are bound to be anxious about the nature of
the nature of the questions we will have to answer
next day Even an earnest student who has done all
that needs be done by way of nervousness uncertainty
and suspense on the night before the examination The
morning of the examination finds them prostate with
nervous disorder
But this is one side the picture There are students
who may be described as soldiers of fortune They are
daredevil youngsters who do not take their examina-
tions seriously But their lack of preparation is more
than made up for by the short cuts or bazar notes they
have provided themselves with Even on the night
before the examina-
tion they would be
going about their
daily rounds They
may be found in the parks cafes and restaurants talk-
ing about tips ndashtalking glibly and confidently about
what questions are sure to come The morning of the
examination finds them as cheerful as they were on
the night before
What is needed most is self-confidence and a cool
head True we do not remember all that we have read
when we go to the Examination Hall This does not
mean that we have forgotten them Many things re-
main in the sub ndashconscious region They jump into
consciousness when we face the questions and seri-
ously think of the answers Often such answers score
more marks than prepared ones

Colourful wrapper shiny and bright
Which one to choose which would be right
Houses made of chocolates and doors made of bars
And out stood there a chocolate car
Soon after it was 6 oclock
And could hear the doorrsquos knock
I woke up in a hurry
Just to realise that it was a dream

The ant and the elephant
- SOUMEN RAO IV-E
Once upon a time in a forest there lived an ant and an
elephant The elephant was the biggest among all the
elephants So he was very proud of himself and used
to criticize everyone and the ant which was the tiniest
among them was very happy and cheerful It used to
help everyone I its own way
All the animals in the forest used to complain about
the egoistic elephant So one day when the ant saw the
elephant walking towards it it immediately thought of
a plan As soon as the elephant came near the ant
said ldquoHello My friendrdquo but the elephant replied rude-
ly saying ldquoYou tiny
ant Get off my way
otherwise yoursquoll get
crushed to deathrdquo
Hearing this ant
challenged the elephant sayingrdquo My big friend I can
make you cryrdquo The ant quickly climbed onto the trunk
of the elephant and ran towards its earit went inside
the ear and started biting the elephants ear The ele-
phant tried to flap its ears but in vain After a few
minutes tears started rolling down its eyes It cried
ldquoPlease come out of my ear I canrsquot bear the painrdquo As
soon as the ant came out the elephant apologized for
its mistake and didnrsquot tease any animals from that day
Grandparents

when we are shouted
With generosity and be-
nevolence they are bounded
Be sure to always meet your grandparents once in a
while and enhance yourself by their presence

Water Conservation
- Paarth Bhagat VII-J
Water is life If there was no water there would be no
life Hence water is the precious gift of God to mother
Earth We cannot imagine our lives without water
We human beings are made up of water it is the only
transportation medium that carries the food molecules
and oxygen to the cells of every body parts to help the
blood It signifies that water is the most essential in-
gredient to the functioning of life of every organism
So you see living this wonderful life is impossible
without water
Water is the force behind all the industry agriculture
manufacturing and trade and commerce All forms of
energy generation is done using water Be it hydroe-
lectrically projects or thermal power plant or nuclear
power plant water is
the key ingredient in
all of them There
would be no power
without water No
water no life
So it is our responsibility to conserve this life nectar
It is possible only through by changing our outlook
towards this wonderful natural resource We must en-
sure there is no pollution of water bodies by dumping
any waste such as sewage effluents and other toxic
substances We must also ensure there is no emission
of green-house gases into the atmosphere The people
and the government must ensure installation of efflu-
ents and smoke treatment plants at industrial garbage
and sewage units

The kind Fairies -Aditys Patil VIII-E
This story starts with two beautiful babies in a king-
dom called fairyland The babies were very pretty
Their names were Ovi and Riddhi They were growing
pretty well As they grew they became more and
more pretty Over and over they were also fairies and
within 5 years they became young girls Their mother
told them to go to school The girls askedwhere are
the schools There are no schools here Mother said
dont worry you will go to the planet Earth On the
planet Earth there is a very good school named New
Horizon Public School and the short form is nhps We
said ok On the first day of our school we were very
afraid but after a few days we
became more smart than the
others We were getting a lot of
prizes which we shared with
eveyone in the school This
made us and others happy One day We became the
princess of fairyland Our wings were like a rainbow
We were twins and had very long hairs Now I end
my story with a beautiful quote
ALWAYS HELP EACH OTHER LIKE THE
FARIES BECAUSE HELPING PEOPLE IS THE
PATH TO GOD
The Day Irsquoll Never Forget - Saranya Sarangi VII -
It was a day of love and affection
There was no visible sign of caution
But something unfortunate was going to happen
Nobody knew where and when
There was a blast at half past three
In a beauty land called Paradise On Earth
A complete silence and pity hadnrsquot the thee
Perished laid the martyrs
Whom our motherland gave birth
I still remember that scaring sight
The scattered limbs I couldnrsquot see
My heart got filled with grief and fright
No Indian could glee
Terribly writhing the soldiers were seen
Some families languished and some
were crying
So loyal to their country they had been
None of their families were mollifying
Whatever homage to our martyrs we pay
Tiny before their they lay
Salute to their tribute to motherland
To protect us they always walked hand in hand
Little Birdie - Marisha Nath VIII-C
I am a little birdie in the sky
With two wings to fly
I never disturb you
I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom
O human Then why do you steal my FREEDOM
Binding me alone in the cage makes me sad
Donrsquot you know caging a bird is bad
Looking at the sky
I wish I could fly
I never disturb you
I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom
O human Then why do you steal my
FREEDOM

Summers in India - Saranya Sarangi VIII
A hot season beginning from April till May is what we
call summer And thatrsquos the basic rule in India But
thatrsquos not something through which we can define
summers in our country India The sun shining high
above the head increasing the heat and this scorching
heat is something very unique about summers in India
Those ice-lolly stalls roaming down the streets tin-
kling their tiny bells is something special one will nev-
er find in any other country Many people love this
season
Especially the children as they get to eat ice-creams
Many people even donrsquot As they feel that this season
can only make a person dehydrated exhausted and irri-
tated Summer as we think as an unfruitful season is
contrast in reality Schools conduct summer camps
during vacation where stu-
dents can join different aca-
demic and co-curricular
courses to improve them-
selves Many children even spend time with their fami-
lies
Often families plan trips to different places as they get
a very long vacation during this season But now-a-
days due to increasing heat these pleasant summers
are becoming unbearable Every just sweat and sweat
We get a lethargic feeling not ready to do any work
Due to this heat we continually keep the ACs on which
consume a lot of electricity creating trouble for our
mother Earth and us Gradually that charm of the
unique kind of summers will be lost if precautions are
not taken We must really hope and work hard to bring
back our lovely lsquoSummers in Indiarsquo
Exams are good or bad
- Nupoor Teli VIIIndashI
In my humble opinionexams are apressure on the stu-
dents They are forced to study and score good
markswhich can lead to frustration An environmentof
competitivenessof standing first is created for which
students keep on studying day and night without any
recreation It is good to studybut not just for the sake
of gaining marks
Why do we study What is the main intention behind
education Seeking intersresting and fascinating
knowledge as well as facts about the world But now-a
-daysthe main reason for studying is gaining marks If
there are no marksno career andno success This is the
mindset of 70 people of the worldespecially parents
They pressurize their children so much that they get
depressed or sometimes attempt suicide as well
Every two months an exam is conducted Moreo-
verthere are projectssubject-enrichment activi-
tieschapter test sfter every topicnotebookfile submis
sion etcAnd as acherry on top
of the cakewe have the semes-
ter exams of eighty marks as
well What all will the students
do And even if any extra-
curricular activities are being learntthen more extra
studies Just studystudy and study
Why so much of tension on the children Under this
tension only they start cheating As time passes cheat-
ing becomes a habit of their life
I fell that exams should be conducted once a term in
order to evaluate whether the students are clear with
the concepts or notThey shouldnt be pressurized for
their marksbut should be made understand their mis-
takes Let them choose their own career options on
their own Help them knowwhat they like to study and
what they want to do in their life So dont pressurize
students for what they dont likeand encourage them in
what they do After allthey are only the Rising stars of
the country

Life is magical - Piyush Sahoo VII-H
A new day or a new night
Everything in life seems bright
A new morning or a new evening
Life is full of happening
A life is just like a kite
It may disappear in a sight
Life moves from baby to old
Make your life challenging and bold
Enjoy life the fullest
Never accept less than best
Unlikely life comes to an end
But remember never to bend
Happy sadness victory and loss
Accept it the way it comes
Life can be at times tragical
But make it the most beautiful
Life is magicalhellip
Life is so magicalhellip
Humility -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
Humility is having a heart to treat others with respect
and love Considering people worthy of your love
time and efforts regardless of who they are or what
they have done A person is truly humble when they
are willing to work hard for others expecting nothing
in return
Humility has the power to change a personrsquos perspec-
tive towards life It can make a difference in the way a
person is looked upon by others Doing an act of hum-
bleness can make a personrsquos day Humility is about
not having an ego or considering things below your
dignity or considering yourself greater than others
People often confuse humility with self-respect They
canrsquot make out the difference between being useful to
others and being used by others
It takes courage to be humble
because in the era in which we
live humility is looked upon as
weakness People assume yoursquore not strong enough to
stand up for yourself They think you surrender in-
stead of protesting They will despise and scorn you
but they donrsquot know that you take pleasure in what
you do because they havenrsquot experienced that kind of
joy
So if you do have humility donrsquot draw back from it
because of what others think Whatever you are doing
is for the good of others and you have no need to be
ashamed of that Humbleness will spread from person
to person Who knows maybe your one act of humili-
ty will spread on to help a person in need So be brave
be humble
Mom -Tanvi Sawant VII-C
Oh mom I came to this beautiful world just because
of youhellip
Mom what would I do without you
Oh mom there are thorns on the way
But you manage to get me awayhellip
Oh mom I canrsquot say how much yoursquore to me
Mom just promise me that yoursquoll and
always be with mehellip
Oh mom this world is incomplete
without you
Just like the sky without itrsquos bright color bluehellip
Oh mom yoursquore the candle that showed the way in the
dark
My dear mom you made my life spark

OUR FUTURE EARTH - Hiya Purswani VIII-B
We all know the present condition of our environment
around us Inspite of advanced and modern technolo-
gy we humans are still not able to find a solution
Early humans neither they had much technology nor
they had enough intelligence but still in the early ages
the environment was clean making it the reason for
the increasing life span of humans Its a shocking
news to know that the amount of plastic bottles pro-
duced now may lead to increase in plastic pollution
and cause several death Its a great opportunity to be
as a human in this beautiful earth and so its our re-
sponsibility to make it clean In monsoon people cut
down trees to prevent accidents to occur but do we
plant trees in summer to prevent more global warm-
ing We can prevent bad things to happen but not can-
not take that much effort for good things to spread
Have you ever wondered while seeing a tap open how
many taps are left open at the same time in the whole
world It might sound unbelievable there can be a
World War III on water land and fresh air The way
we are thinking about the wastage of water may lead
us to a massive pain Itrsquos truly said by Warren Buffet
sometimes to buy things we need we have to sell
things we do not need This happens in the case of
lacking of intelligence We say every scholar is a true
genius but in my
opinion a person is
genius if he has the
ability to save and
change things in his
own way We all have the ability to save this earth
but our thoughts our ego and our greediness is stop-
ping us to think in a better way Everyone has a good
and a bad side in his life What matters is the part we
choose to act upon This is an excellent thought said
by Sirius Black in the movie Harry Potter Itrsquos time to
bring a change We always have time to do good
things all we need is hope Spreading awareness is the
best idea to bring a change If everyone stops thinking
about their economical needs and start contributing
towards the environment by planting more trees cer-
tainly there will be a beneficial change in this world
Neither do we think about the future nor care about
the present Why not be an optimist and think in a
positive way of life Our studies our needs our
knowledge will not help us in any way if we donʼt
change Its not that easy to plant a tree and care for it a
whole year if we only plant it with all our love nature
is certainly going to care for it Lastly I would like to
end with a quoterdquo Come forth in the light of things
nature will be your teacher
The Small Hours Pranjal Anil Chavan V-C
No more my little song Come back
And now of nights I lay my head on down
to watch the black
And wait the unfailing gray
Oh Sad are winter nights and slow
And sad is a song thatrsquos dumb
And sad it is to lie I know
Another dawn will come

Floods and Destruction
- Nirvi Soni IV-H
India faces occurrence of floods each year in some
parts of Assam during the rainy season Water of river
Brahmaputra rises and enters into many villages
causing great destruction Floods are unavoidable but
we need to take precautions in the following ways by
reducing mining activities building dams growing
more trees etc During floods the weather becomes
wet and gloomy Trees and plants get uprooted This
way floods cause great de-
struction to both life and
property It also becomes dif-
ficult to travel from place to
place Many people are left
homeless The rain water should be harvested and
stored in large storage tanks The harvested rainwater
can be used for washing clothes and cleaning By us-
ing rain water in our daily life we can preserve water
resources
Good Morning Everyone -Vyomi ThakkarVI - H

Wersquoll surely find the crown
Up on the chilled mountain
We saw a beautiful fountain
Surrounded by a beautiful castle
Decorated with the colourful tassel
Just be quiet and keen
Soon you will be the queen
Think before you speak
-Shravya Atreya IX-D
Think before you speak
There are hearts you must please
Think before you speak
You canrsquot undo the harm done after you squeak
Think before you speak
You might have done greater harm than you might
think
Think before you speak
There are still places left for you
to seek
Think before you speak
There is a long way to go before
you sleep
Think before you speak
There are hearts you must
please

GLOBAL WARMING - Adhyant Singh VII-F
Global warming refers to the steady rise in the Earthrsquos mean temperature The effect of global
warming had come into sight when polar ice caps started melting this phenomena is called ICE ndash
ALBEDO the ice caps melt faster due to the rise in the temperature This sudden rise in the temperature near
the poles began in 1999 The polar ice caps in Antarctica melt at the rate of 400000000000 tons per year ac-
cording to some scientists it would approximately take 5000 years to melt the total ice on earth In 2013 Inter-
governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) stated that the main cause of Global warming is human inter-
vention like emission of Green house gases like Carbon-Di-Oxide nitrous oxide and methane
These gases trap the heat which is reflected by the Earthrsquos surface thus increasing the temperature and also
destroying the ozone layer which prevents the ultraviolet rays of the sun from reaching the earthrsquos surface Al-
so burning fossil fuel contributes to the problem Effects of global warming have also led to the increase in the
sea level and extreme weather like heat waves and change in the regional pattern of precipitation and the ex-
pansion of desserts A concentrated and focused effort by the entire humanity can curb down the impact of
Global warming and also prevent it Planting more trees to control the amount of carbon-di-oxide eliminating
the use of chlorofluorocarbon or (CFCrsquoS) are a few steps All the countries have signed up with the United Na-
tions Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to prevent the doomsday of Earth So to prevent
earthrsquos doomsday we all must work together
Itrsquos not too late there is still timehellipBefore the earth ends and we whinehellipSo keep on marching and planting
greens To end Global Warming and Make our planet greenhellip

The Night - Matangi Rajesh VII-D
Its the night
The moon is white
When we switch off the light
What a beautiful sight
After this comes the sun bright
There is no more artificial light
This is the time to start your diet
To go for a run wearing tights
Then comes the evening when
you have snacks light
And fly a big colorful kite
or include your sibling in a pillow fight
Again comes the night
A moon which is white
We switch off the light
A beautiful sight

Hyperloop -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
Human inventions have baffled the world They are
innumerable ranging from revolutionizing
smartphones to not-so-breathtaking ice cream cones
but they play a role in our life just the same The
things which are commonplace to us now were unbe-
knownst to people once upon a time For the people of
the 19th century the car was a thing of the future until
in 1885 Karl Benz ran his first car on the road Then
for centuries people took the prospect of of flying like
the birds as only a wild possibility which was made
possible in 1903 when the Wright Brothers flew the
first plane
What is the thing of the future for us Well we are the
future modifying and bettering the things that have
been made and crating stuff that we didnt even dare
to imagine about The Hyperloop fulfills both aspects
of the definition a very advanced model of our faith-
ful train and yet a brand new idea to scale greater
heights The Hyperloop is an ideal mode of efficient
transport Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane
with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing
speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt have to
ace the two types of friction that every other vehicle
has to face Air resistance and ground friction The
pods of the Hyperloop are propelled through a depres-
surized tub Since it is almost vacuum very little air
resistance can be offered inside the tube Due to this
the energy required to travel is also very less The Hy-
perloops unique technology uses magnetic levitation
to guide and lift the pods of the rail Since the pod is
not in contact with the ground there is no friction act-
ing on itThe first Hyperloop ndash virgin Hyperloop one
is set to run with passengers as early as 2021 and is
created by SpaceX and Tesla
The mastermind behind the Hyperloop is Elon Musk
who first published a 58 page white-paper on the web-
site of his company-Space X It was available to all
and was titled Hyperloop alpha The Hyperloop may
be the pioneer of a whole new era of transportation
traveling a distance which would otherwise take 12
hours in just I hour it has crossed all known bounda-
ries and created higher limits for us to reach and reach
we must for when time is money and money is time
an option that saves both needs to be used
Exams are good or bad -Nupoor Teli VIII
In my humble opinion exams are pressure on the stu-
dents They are forced to study and score good marks
which can lead to frustration An environment of com-
petitiveness of standing first is created for which stu-
dents keep on studying day and night without any rec-
reation It is good to study but not just for the sake of
gaining marks
Why do we study What is the main intention behind
education Seeking interesting and fascinating
knowledge as well as facts about the world But now-a
-days the main reason for studying is gaining marks
If there are no marks no career and no success This
is the mindset of 70 people of the world especially
parents They pressurize their children so much that
they get depressed or sometimes attempt suicide as
wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-
ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities
chapter test after every topic notebookfile submis-
sion etc And as cherry on top of the cake we have the
semester exams of eighty marks as well What all will
the students do And even if any extra-curricular ac-
tivities are being learnt then more extra studies Just
study study and study
Why so much of tension on the children Under this
tension only they start cheating As time passes cheat-
ing becomes a habit of their lifeI fell that exams
should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate
whether the students are clear with the concepts or
not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but
should be made understand their mistakes Let them
choose their own career options on their own Help
them know what they like to study and what they want
to do in their life So dont pressurize students for
what they dont like and encourage them in what they
do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the
country

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B
Life is all about interactions You meet people and
you interact You observe them consciously or sub-
consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us
more than we even realise Some people leave a last-
ing impression on us and entirely change the course of
life for better or for worse Some people influence us
help us go further and make all the difference
I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-
tial people They have taken care of me ever since I
came into this world They are the ones who wish the
best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-
cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel
no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-
come a part of my personality They are the ones who
helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me
to be better
When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are
the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-
takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique
learning experience It has made me realise how eve-
rything they do has a reason They are the ones who
have taught me the importance of the little things in
life They are the ones who have helped me recognize
and follow my passion The very thought of them not
being a part of my life is scary to the least as without
them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am
today and whatever I have achieved is all because of
them and I am very grateful of that
Eyesight
-Aditi Shenoy VIII-F
The tired little girl went to bed
Recollecting the days bygone
Seeing them in her dreams
As the day she was born
Trying to see the world
With her little eyes
But the sun with his brightness
Wouldnt let her catch the sights
The girl still eager
And curious to see the world around her
Again opened her eyes
But her vision was blurred
Still she did not lose hope
Which flowed through her blood
Encouraging and pushing her
To see the world further
Her heart beating fast
Her enthusiasm increasing
She slowly tried to see
With her eyes continuously blinking
Starting to lose hope
She was ready to give up
But curiosity got the upper hand
And pushed her forward
With her hope again rising
and strength in her eyesight
She is finally seeing the world
With wide open eyes

Chandrayan-2 Indiarsquos Moon Mission The dream of
entire India to land on moon and become the 4th Na-
tion in the world to put its flag on the soil of moon
after USSR USA amp China
ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launched
Chandrayan-2 on 22nd July 2019 from Bengaluru
(Satish Dhawan Space Center) under the command of
ISRO chief K Shivan It consists of ORBITER
LANDER amp Lunar Rover PRAGYAN Like Chandra-
yan-1(22nd Oct2008) it was Indiarsquos indigenous moon
mission
It touched the Moon Surface on Saturday early morn-
ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-
ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-
ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of
moon it lost contact with the ground station Because
of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be
monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m
(approx) away from its assigned location near
SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still
orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange
signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it
The ORBITER which will remain active for another
12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-
owed portion of the moon for the first time in history
with the help of its high-resolution camera
The entire Nation irrespective of their field of
knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front
of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of
VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true
Indians who always dream progress and development
of their motherland But our heart never accepts this
as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement
for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-
pose of our mission
But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at
this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring
country quoting this as a big failure on part of India
blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos
money on this
Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will
be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to
this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other
nations on such missions
Further I should say that India is not new in the field
of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-
TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975
It was named after famous scientist of ancient India
ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested
for the first time the HELIOCENTRIC THEORY
(Sun at the center and all planets revolve around the
Sun) of the Solar System much earlier than ready for

COPERNICUS as believed in the western world
Other countries might have moon on their flags but
we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is
great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are
whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-
rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is
only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the
unknown and its continual application for the benefit
of the mankind)rdquo
Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by
various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-
PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-
cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958
onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as
46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was
attempted out of which only 21 was successful
Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-
tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the
overall attempts conducted by other Nations
USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-
NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was
planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January
SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR
successfully on moon
NASA after many attempts was successful to send
first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th
July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk
on moon
Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-
clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-
SION MANGAL for our next moon mission

From Principalrsquos Desk
The most important step we can take toward achiev-
ing our greatest potential in life is to learn to monitor
our attitude and its impact on our work performance
relationships and everyone around us
We all have a choice We can choose an inner dia-
logue of self-encouragement self-motivation or we
can choose one of self-defeat and self-pity Itrsquos a
power we all have
Our mind is a computer that can be programmed We
can choose whether the software installed is produc-
tive or unproductive
Our inner dialogue is the software that programs our
attitude which determines how we present ourselves
to the world around us We have control over the
programming Whatever we put into it is reflected in
what comes out
Many of us have behavior patterns today that were
programmed into our brains at a very tender age The
sad reality of life is that we continue to hear negative
information but we donrsquot have to program it into our
brains
The most influential voice we hear is our own inner
voice our selfcritic It can work for or against us de-
pending on the messages we allow
It can be optimistic or pessimistic It can wear us
down or cheer us on We control the sender and the
receiver but only if we consciously take responsibil-
ity for and control over our inner conversation
Habitual bad attitudes are often the product of past
experiences and events Common causes include low
self-esteem stress fear resentment anger and an ina-
bility to handle change
It takes serious work to examine the roots of a harm-
ful attitude but the rewards of ridding ourselves of this
heavy baggage can last a lifetime
School Magazine is a wonderful platform for students to
showcase their talents of creativity writing ideating etc I
appreciate the efforts of all the budding writers and artists
for making this magazine vibrant I thank the entire Editori-
al Team for their good work and support God bless you all

ldquoMicro changes in Life can bring Macro Transformationrdquo
Children should be taught to think We should help them to unfold their imaginations and give life to
their thoughts amp aspirations The Hands on Learning Activities done in class will unleash a wide
spectrum of creative skills This I believe is the strongest factor for success in raising his self esteem
amp the most overwhelming key to a childrsquos success is the attitude by parents by giving the space to the
child and not comparing them to others ldquoThe secret of getting ahead is getting startedrdquo So why not
give them a jumpstart from the grass root level itself
We are pleased to present to you our E-Magazine It is a milestone that marks our growth unfolds
childrenrsquo s imagination to foster a positive learning Environment Letrsquos give them a platform to
think express ampexhibit their skills
I congratulate the editorial team for their hard work in releasing this E magazine

ldquo What you are is Godrsquos gift to you What you become is your gift to God ldquo
Language is one of Godrsquos greatest gift to humans given for the purpose of sharing ideas with others
Without leaving our chairs we can go to all parts of the world We mediate on the wonders of creation
But without the gift of language we would be limited in the ways we can share these ideas Words help
us let others know what we are feeling how much we care or how our hearts are filled with awe and
wonder and gratitude to God for all He has given us
Our School magazine is a mirror reflecting the creativity of young minds of the school I extend my
warm wishes to continue this journey on the road of excellence May God Bless us with wisdom

The school proudly presents its unique creation in the form of the E magazine which serves as a plat-
form to highlight the literary and artistic segment of NHPS family forming a bridge between flowing
thoughts and artistic magnification The magazine also highlights the educational cultural and sports
activities of the institute

I appreciate the daunting efforts put in by the team to put together the myriad thoughts into a visual
fest I wish them success for its timely release

A shadow side in me - Sunit Dighe VIII-C
Your life is in your hands How to solve your life with
ease Thats always a big question in a puzzled mind
Synchronizing the answer is always necessary Elabo-
ration the next first lets understand why you get a
human life hereditarily Until and unless you have
solved the Rubiks cube of your life with cases truly
hard then you are fulfill to get handout of the running
notes written by your mind for a total 70 years Thats
not a small value Its 70times12=etc
Now whats a shadow side of your life Its none other
than your emotions Answer to the shadow side of
your life in emotions is depression Not going beyond
and deeper in depression But those who dont know
what is depression -It is the state in which your mind
losses thinking will power and confidence for find-
ing no way in taking the right path for the solution
Depresion acts in making your life a
bit difficult Mind makes all unneces-
sary savages which have a result 0
See the matchmaking here the villain
depression has no hero to be defeated You yourself
are a hero but you sometimes fail to take control over
depression So here motivation plays a extravagant
role
How to solve your life with ease That was our ques-
tion in the start Life isnt easy but definitely you can
decide your life Have a success its good defeating
all sort of gratuitous emotions is better and thinking
optimistically is best Like with what the quote moti-
vatesldquoonly when you illuminate otherswithout ex-
pectation or rewardwill you truly understand how to
illuminate yourselfrdquo only remember dont let you sink
your mind sink and your foolish but previous life to
sink in the deep disarrayed water
The destiny in my hands - Aaryan Aggarwal IX-B
Destiny The word means the inevitable fate or some
events that will necessarily happen to some person in
the future It is however a notion and not a proven
fact as obviously no one can see the future People
believe that what destiny says is the ultimate truth and
absolutely nothing can change it However I beg to
differ as while it may be inevitable it will not neces-
sarily be completely unchangeable To give an exam-
ple a person born into a poor family may believe that
his destiny is poverty and nothing else
However with enough efforts and determination he
she may grow up to be very successful This has led
me to believe that destiny is not any actual power or
anything that can affect our future Rather it is a state
of mind that sometimes may lead to demotivation
This happens because success has never come without
failures In failures we tend to lose
positivity and start becoming nega-
tive and their mindset towards life all
-in-all becomes negative This is
where we begin to believe that this is what destiny had
in store for us and this is exactly what we are going to
get With this preconceived notion people often lose
interest or even give up entirely However since desti-
ny is a figment of a personrsquos mind it can be modified
as and when required
Thus believing in destiny and hoping that the hard-
ships that you have faced are all part of a bigger plan
will give you the motivation to do better and improve
Thus I believe that destiny while not being real to
some extent can change the course of a personrsquos life
Destiny is not unchangeable the power to do so lies in
your very hands

Savior of all Nikita V IXndash A
Our country is safe
Because of you
You protect our country today
And forever yoursquoll do
The tri-colour will glare
Because you are there
And the feelings of love with
Our country we share
Bravery in your fights

Salute to you and all
The almighty soldiers

Self Confidence
Anirudh Shetti VI B
Self Confidence is an attitude that allows you to move
forward and achieve your goals Self confidence
means believing in yourself It is an ability that makes
the human believe in himself For example Tim was a
boy who had a stage fear One day he was selected for
the assembly as a reporter On the day of assembly
Tim was very scared to go on the stage Then he
thought about Self confidence Long ago his mother
said him that if a person has Self confidence he can
cross away all the difficulties in his life So at that
time Tim forgot all the fear and became a self confi-
dent boy
On assembly he reported beautifully and he was the
best reporter in the assembly There are some more
other positives like positive thinking concentration
good manners being kind etc Like Theodore Roose-
velt said ldquoEach time we face fear we gain strength
courage and confidence in the doingrdquo I will conclude
my article with this quote ldquoBelieve in yourself and
you will be unstoppablerdquo
Pencil
-Aadya Agarwal V
Once I was drawing with a pencil
But to draw proper shape I need a stencil
I was using a pencil to write a phrase
I wrote it wrong then the teacher said ldquoErase Eraserdquo
I lost my pencil
But it was with my friend Jencil
With that pencil I drew a triangle and a rectangle
But I was not able to find its angle
In English I had to complete punctuation marks
With help of that pencil James drew many sharks
In science there was a chemical blast
My teacher said ldquopencilrsquos life is very vastrdquo
Once more I lost my pencil
It was stuck in my hair
Once again i lost my pencil
But this time it was lost in a fair

Taras intelligence
- Pritika Manohar kadam VIII ndashD
Once upon a time there lived a couple near the town
They were just married and expected a child After a
year they had twins Both were charming Their
names were Yash and Tara
Tara was expected to do the household work and
Yash was to go to school and do a job Tara was an
very intelligent girl so she used to take her brothers
old books and study on her own
One fine day she asked her brother Why every time
I have to do the household work and not study like
you Her brother asked many people but got a com-
mon answer that girls are not meant to study
So both of them decided to ask their father He gave a
confusing answer that if Tara wants to go to school I
can help her to learn and write but which school will
give her admission I cant fight for one girl
She understood what he meant so Tara had an idea
about that She gathered her friends and told them the
importance of education
Next day she gathered them and
went to her father and said you
wont help one girl (me) so can
you help us to study Her father was impressed by her
intelligenceHe took them to the principal who was
his friend and requested him several times about the
admission of the girls
At last one day he agreed to take the admission of
those girls They started going to school everyday
The problem was all the people were frustrated They
used to throw garbage near their house and also say
abusing words Also stop the ways of the girls for
going to school
They also took the house of Tara and Yash They
used to live in a hut with those girls as well
The people used to throw stones on them The girls
did not lose their hopes and studied hard All those
after many years started working in office
The people were proud afterwards and they started a
girls school They gave back house of Yash and Tara
The ordeal to say a lsquogoodbyersquo
-Nidhi Mishra VIII-G
Together we laughed
Together we wept
Myriad fond impressions We kept
Jointly we danced like daisy
We didnrsquot bother about others
We chuckled like crazy
Concerning about the fussy was tempestuous
Together we were scintillating
We were engrossed in
Our cackles were uplifting
Something was sinister I remained keen
That gloominess was undesirable
Not you but our disunion was near
Our parting was lamentable
The distance between us was my fear
Our disunion was forthcoming
I wished I could quit it
Tears from our eyes were running
With those yet we had to split
Years had flown by
Not the echo
The ordeal to say a

And to lose a loyal oppo

My dream House
-Harshith Nair IX-B
Voila I have shifted to my new house
Away from those lizards and that cunning mouse
That was once a basic and simple house
Now canrsquot get over the whoaas and wowws
Ancient doors and artefacts with a palatial tinge
Enter and you would feel yoursquove got wings
Vintage artefacts and interiors add to the glam
quotient
A gramophone an antique
telephone that take you to an
era thatrsquos ancient
To me and my brotherrsquos surprise therersquos an excit-
ing bunk bed
Now who sleeps on the top therersquos gonna be a
bloodshed
I hate boasting but this onersquos the icing on the
cake
Let me tell you friends this was a dream all

Friendship
-Divya Johnson VIII ndash I
Friendship has no form
sometimes it makes us feel secure and warm
Sometimes leaves us cold and forlorn
and sometimes gives us the power to go on
We mistake it often for something materializing
but itrsquos free and artistic
It is hard to catch
no other virtue has its match
Indomitable Earth - Poorvi Sanu IX ndashG
Our global crisis has created a cure
No A treatment for what is in the store
New seasons simmer shorelines bore
Plastics not fake its sweet
Everlasting a love we adore
Are you sure
Intestinal hurdle artwork framed
Mammals fattened by unnatural floating
Wild material machine Unseen
Where does your waste ream
What can I do
It takes more than
one It takes society
Globally to do what
needs to be done
Our footprint is mas-
sive weighty
Join Mother Earth
On our journey here and abroad
Full of disbelief and open scorn
Itrsquos worth the attempt to help her adorn
To help her heal her sores prevent more welts

Travelling via train -Aditya Patil VIII-E
Travelling is a prominent and a fun-learning activity of
our life It introduces us to new people their culture
and enhances skills that are essential in our lives
Travelling gives a wonderful experience to the travel-
ers especially by train I am being so sight to write the
essay lsquocause guess what ldquoI AM TRAVELLING IN
THE BUMPY TRAINrdquo hearing the quarrels for seats
with the bumps of the train
Train to me is the most favourite mode of transport for
long journeys I am sure even others love travelling via
train inspite of the long journey and time But if its
with families or with bachelor friends therersquos no one
stopping them from being happy During travelling we
also get familiar to stops during the journey where
people get off and enter This introduces us to the cul-
ture of those regions
and thatrsquos what makes our
India famous and legend-
ary We also get to eat
those India-famous snacks
from all over India like lsquoShehgaon kachorirsquo lsquo Kol-
hapuri misalrsquo and I would stop here or else I know
your mouth is watering and you wanna eat this
This is what travelling is It increases our general
knowledge as we get across so many new things Trav-
elling by train is much more affordable than aero-
planes where we just have to sit and enjoy the luxury
Travelling will also introduce you to all kinds of peo-
ple like the innocent ones the fighters the caring ones
who surrender themselves for you and sometimes the
people you know So to enjoy these beautiful moments
of life travel once or twice a year to refresh your-
selves
Control Yourself - Suvan Lokhande IX-A
Controlling yourself is something great that you have
achieved in your whole life Controlling a particular
thing with which you get addicted is a big thing Dur-
ing puberty children get addicted to various bad things
such as food mobile TV or maybe food
ldquoControl Yourself Kidrdquo ldquoDone not more than
thisrdquo ldquoControlrdquo such types of sentences maybe
familiar to you which must be said by your mom dad
teachers and your elders But thatrsquos exactly true what
they say I know that itrsquos difficult to leave a particular
thing with which you get addicted But still if you
leave it certainly this can make an impact in your life
I mean to say that leave only bad things and not the
good things like reading or studying Believe it every-
thing is possible in this whole world If Neil Arm-
strong can go to moon then why cannot you leave your
bad habit Lets take an example a
boy who likes to eat a lot he may
like to eat Chinese Continental
Asian and whatever But you must
take care of your fitness too We can
eat whatever we want but in a limit
If you start practicing such good practices you can
surely be the one who has changed his whole life to a
certain life
And these changes can definitely make you proudAt
last my opinions may have some differences but eve-
ryday we get to learn something from our daily experi-
ences And I truly believe that if we make a decision
and start opting it in our daily life we can surely our-
selves make a change in our whole life At last I con-
vey that you need to control yourself and follow this
motto in your lifehelliphellipControl Yourself amp Be the
Change

Anger Management
- Sfurti Kumbhar IX-A
AngerhellipThe worst of emotions It causes a LOT of
problems Like damaged friendships separated fami-
lies to list a few The list is long But as many people
have tried and failed controlling anger can be impos-
sible at times when the little fuse in your brain blows
off Let us discuss controlling anger today
Basically anger management seems and sounds im-
possible But as it turns out it isnrsquot Itrsquos really simple
To be honest I am a cranky person Even the slightest
bit of annoying thing or the face of an irritating person
blows my fuse off So well yeah Irsquom trying to get it
under control Sort of
Impossible right Managing anger sounds easy You
can distract yourself from the situation Permanently
fix an imaginary meter in your brain which indicates
anger level My meter is always near 50-60 When I
say that Irsquom a cranky person you can see that I mean
it
As I was saying the meter Anytime you feel that the
meter is rising just find some ways to control it Like
the classic ldquodrink cool water to cool down your warm
headrdquo or breathe Listen to your fav music Or ask
yourself this simple question
ldquoIs getting angry at this person or screaming at them
going to improve my day in any way whatsoeverrdquo
If the answer is yes go ahead Scream all that you
want at the person and improve your day But if the
answer is no STOP yourself in time Maybe make
yourself an anger dice Or breathe in Out And may-
be the classic as mentioned above
Frankly these ways have helped me to reduce my
ldquofuse blowing offrdquo times since grade 4 Anger may be
one of the smartest issues but we are smarter
You are a masterpiece - Tisha Gangar VIII-A
There are songs in your eyes
Singing lullabies
The voice is so pretty

Right inside your heart
Painting pictures which create
memories
That are soothing just like a
breeze
You are a Masterpiece
With an end number of skills
Creativity is your strength
Keep safe till the end

Monsoon -Isha Bhanushali VIII
The most alluring part in monsoon season is the way
people tackle them Every where you scan people are
struggling back to reach their home back safely and it
indeed gives you a sense of achievement when you
reach home without getting drained by the gushing
water the automobiles blow on youWell my case is a
little bit different Every time I attempt not to step in-
side the puddle the next step will certainly be inside
it
It was raining heavily that day and unlike my usual
days it was a special one I got dispersed from my
classes by 600 and not aware about the conditions
outside I stepped outside expecting my van to pick
me up Suddenly there was gloomy all around and
there was silence everywhere (huh Because the light
went off) and to add insult to injury I got a call from
my Sir that the van will be com-
ing 1 hour late
I after a while made up my
mind I will set out and go on
my ownI took my umbrella and set out with my
friend The roads were all muddy and the water
reached up to my ankle The situation got testified as
it started raining heavily We all expected the rain to
stop after a while but it was adamant throwing its
tantrums on us All over the road there were vehicles
parked and there was no way to move
But not giving up we carried forward to reach our des-
tination After a long tiring journey of 1km (which
took us almost 1hr) we reached our home safely I had
a feeling of accomplishing a big feat that day
But the climax is here
I had to listen to my Moms scolding
Yes because I had stepped inside a big puddle
Soldier - Marisha Nath VIII-C
Dear soldier you sacrifice yourself for your nation
But people think itrsquos your job not your passion
You are a warrior
You are our savior
You are in the list of Godrsquos golden fame
But alas No book mentions your name

Man Woman and Equality Poorvi Sanu IX-G
Why are women considered inferior to men Why is
it so Even in the olden days gender inequality was
very common
Sati widows shravana shraddha managala gaur
akshaya tritiya child marriage karva chauthhellip
etcetera etcetera etceteraWhat do these words re-
mind you of Yep Thatrsquos right These are all systems
for women
These are sacrifices and systems that women perform
for their better halves So that their spouses have a
long and safe life But what do these spouses do in
return Discriminate these women Consider them
inferior I think that only about 15 of men give
equal opportunities and rights to women
This number is increasing no doubt but then this is a
slow processMen work approximately 6 ndash 8 hours a
day Women on the other hand work at least 16
hours a day Yet men get salary and women in some
cases donrsquot
To all the men and boys reading this I have a few
questions for youDo you have the guts to perform all
housework with 5 guests in the house Do you have
enough courage to change your sur-
name after marriage Do you have
the guts to leave your ancestral home
where you have lived for at least 23
years Are you ready to be dominated
by women More importantly are you ready to listen
to pungent words from your mother-in-law And of
course do you guys have courage to bear a child for 9
months and 9 days and give birth and nurture the ba-
by
Giving birth is simultaneous to fracturing 20 ndash 21
bones at once Did men know this And yet they con-
sider women weak They think that because wersquore
women we cannot thinkIf we cannot think who is
Marie Curie If we are weak who delivers kids
Women arenrsquot any different They are children of
gods They arenrsquot your personal secretaries they are
your partnersOnly a woman knows how much suffer-
ing women go through And yet women are discrimi-
nated daily
What women want is love and respect They work
hard for it they toil day and night and what they get
ishellipabsolutely nothing
Is this right
Submission to Peer Pressure -Akshat Mishra IX -G
ldquoHey Mohan When did you get this new iPhone-Xrdquo
we asked him in surprise as we knew the financial
condition of his family ldquoMy cousin gifted it to merdquo
quipped Mohan sheepishly All the boys resumed
playing but I knew there was something amissPeer
pressure is becoming increasingly inevitable amongst
teenagers One may argue that it is a part of human
nature It may be pivotal for a human being but its
darker side is certainly the more powerful one
People are easily succumbing to peer pressure without
realising its consequences Just to gain respect in
someonersquos eyes they are even ready to quarrel with
their parents and ward their attention from their nec-
essary activities A recent survey suggested that the
maximum people in a rave are a group of teenagers
The clutches of peer pressure are so strong that people
arenrsquot being able to listen even to their conscience
The youth mostly is just littering around the streets
smoking cigarettes boozing or becoming a victim to
social networks sites like Facebook or Instagram Hu-
man resource is the most valuable resource that we
have and the youth are supposed to replenish this re-
source not just to become egoists The are the future
of the planet but sadly they arenrsquot forging the path for
mankind that they are supposed to
Hopefully there is some resistance against this social
evil in modern days Such people have sworn to stay
adamant and not stray from the rightful path These
days of hope do believe in working for the greater
good and are spreading awareness and showing the
society that peer pressure is deleterious sort individual
growth and well being

ldquoFreedom of Press in Democracyrdquo
- Poorvi Sanu IX-G
A free press and a free judiciary are two very important
cornerstones of a democracy Especially in the modern
era of widely accessible news and innumerable infor-
mation at our fingertips freedom of press is highly valued
liberty that citizens should be aware of and know the rea-
son why it is given to us as Indians Freedom means those
people who state the liberty or right and privileged to
speak according to their will
Freedom is that opportunity which we should never avoid
and in all bad situations it gives us all right to handle the
problems in our own innovative and thoughtful way Press
and media are the vital way to express and speech some
views and opinions in a democratic country It is the me-
dium of expressing an opinion of the people It justifies
the individual right to speech and expression a coveted
right enshrined in the Indian constitution and the law of
other countries on the globe
The importance of freedom of press lies in the fact that
for most citizens the prospect of personal familiarity with
newsworthy events is unrealistic In seeking out news the
media therefore acts for the public in large it is the means
by which people receive free flow of information and ide-
as which is essential to intelligence self-governance that
is in turn democracy For a proper functioning of democ-
racy it is essential that
citizens are informed
about news from vari-
ous parts of the coun-
try and even abroad because only then can they form ra-
tional opinions A citizen surely cannot be expected per-
sonally to gather news to enable him or her to form such
opinions Hence the media plays an important role in a
democracy and serves as an agency of the people to gath-
er news for them
It is for this reason that freedom of press has been empha-
sised in all democratic countries while it was not permit-
ted in feudal or totalitarian regimes
In India the media have a great responsibility also to see
that the news they present is accurate and serve the inter-
est of the people If the media convey false news that may
harm the reputation of a person or a section of society it
may do a great damage since reputation is a valuable asset
for a person
Even if the media subsequently correct a statement the
damage done may be irreparable Hence the media should
take care to carefully investigate any news item before
carefully reporting it
I know of a case were the photograph of a High Court
judge who was known to be upright was shown on a TV
New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 22
channel along with that of a known criminal The alle-
gation against the judge was that he had acquired the
land not in any discretionary quota but in the open
market at the market priceAlso sometimes the media
present twisted or distorted news that may contain an
element of truth but also an element of untruth This
too should be avoided because a half-truth can be
more dangerous than a total lie The media should
avoid giving any slant to news and avoid sensational-
ism and yellow journalism Only then will they gain
the respect of the people and fulfil their true role in a
democracySome newspapers espouse the cause of
only one community
ldquoThey do not judge problems on their merits They
view problems from a communal angle Such newspa-
pers do disservice to the nation On the other hand
some responsible newspapers exercise great restraint
while reporting news about riots between two commu-
nities They never give the identity of the community
which started the riot If there are any casualties they
do not give a community-wise break up lest this
should trigger off a bigger riot
In India most of the newspapers are controlled by
business magnates Such newspapers therefore pro-
mote the interest of the capitalists by given tainted
news They pay no heed even to the genuine prob-
lems of the worker^ farmers artisans and other
weaker sections of the people
The press is the defender and the protector of the
rights and liberties of the people But it can per-
form this role only if it enjoys freedom in publish-
ing news views and reporting It can function ef-
fectively only in an open society where decisions are
made in a democratic manner The press should not be
scared of influential people The press should consider
it their duty to protect the right of the workers and oth-
er downtrodden sections of the people
While the press should enjoy freedom to perform its
role effectively it should not treat such freedom as a
licence to defame anybody It should not publish any
views or support any movement which violates our
Constitution or is against the territorial integrity and
unity of the country
To the conclusion As the worldrsquos largest democracy
India has a duty to ensure that the press has the duty to
disseminate information and express opinions without
excessive censorship Unfortunately in recent years
the right has been increasingly curbed This oppres-
sion of press is an alarming trend as it does not allow
for proper checks and balances on the government and
its activities The people of our country need to re-
member that in order to have a strong democracy they
need a strong and free press

Our Future Earth
- Hiya Purswani VIII B
We all know the present condition of our environment
around us Inspite of advanced and modern technolo-
gy we humans are still not able to find a solution
Early humans neither they had much technology nor
they had enough intelligence but still in the early ages
the environment was clean making it the reason for
the increasing life span of humans Its a shocking
news to know that the amount of plastic bottles pro-
duced now may lead to increase in plastic pollution
and cause several death
Its a great opportunity to be as a human in this beauti-
ful earth and so itrsquos our responsibility to make it
clean In monsoon people cut down trees to prevent
accidents to occur but do we plant trees in summer to
prevent more global warming We can prevent bad
things to happen but not cannot take that much efforts
for good things to spread Have you ever wondered
while seeing a tap open how many taps are left open
at the same time in the whole world It might sound
unbelievable there can be a World War III on water
land and fresh air The way we are thinking about the
wastage of water may lead us to a massive pain I trsquos
truly said by Warren Buffet sometimes to buy things
we need we have to sell things we do not need This
happens in the case of lacking of intelligence We say
every scholar is a true genius but in my opinion a per-
son is genius if he has the ability to save and change
things in his own way We all have the ability to save
this earth but our thoughts our ego and our greedi-
ness is stopping us to think in a better way rdquoEveryone
has a good and a bad side in his life What matters is
the part we choose to act upon rdquoThis is an excellent
thought said by Sirius Black in the movie Harry Pot-
ter Itrsquos time to bring a change
We always have time to do good things all we need is
hope Spreading awareness is the best idea to bring a
change If everyone stops thinking about their eco-
nomical needs and start contributing towards the envi-
ronment by planting more trees certainly there will be
a beneficial change in this world Neither do we think
about the future nor care about the present Why not
be an optimist and think in a positive way of life Our
studies our needs our knowledge will not help us in
any way if we donrsquot change Its not that easy to plant a
tree and care for it a whole year but if we only plant it
with all our love nature is certainly going to care for
it Lastly I would like to end with a quote Come
forth in the light of things nature will be your teach-
er
Endeavor
- Heet Shripal Kankariya VII-G
It is hard to recall the past
but good thoughts are forever
Remember the step you took
May it be stupid or clever
Though the time runs out
your hope should never
Dont lose ittry and endeavor
Do your best even if the conse-
quences make your work the worst
Try and try and make your work better
It is hard to recall the past
but good thoughts are forever
Remember the step you took maybe stupid or clever

The Aloof Humans - A curse to mother
earth - Vaijayanthimala Navneet VIII-J
With all the night strength and gust
Preserving nature is must
Mother Nature has been so lucrative
Letrsquos do something to save her
Something new and creativersquo
Let us get pollution under control
Before mother Earth weeps and implores
Let clean air sweep
Both high and deep
Let the tiny piece of land
Be clean tidy and neat
Let uncontaminated water be
So that everything doesnrsquot
end like the sea
Let the tree stand
lsquoCause it is more alluring than the seven colour band
Without being loquacious
Mother nature is indeed precious
The Little girl
- Bhumika Sharma VI-F
I found in a garage
Near the carriage
A tiny little baby girl
She had cute blue eyes
Which were very small in size
And had beautiful hair with a cute little curl
I wonder why she was there
And she came fromhellipwhere
I then asked a person passing on the road
If he knew the merciless who
kept her near the horses and
toads
The person replied ldquoWho cares
O Madamhellip
hellipFor a girl who is denied by her
dad and mum
I felt very sad and cried
But I saved her lest she died
Who will save many such girls
Imagine a world without these pearls
Treat them with respect and love
The Little Guest - Ashwathy Ganesh VI ndashD
It was rainy season
At home came a pigeon
It made its nest and was a pest
But there came another guest
Who shooed away the little pest
First there was nothing but a basket of twigs
And I watched it eating figs
When the thunder came with the rain
I got a bit scared
But it didnrsquot fly away
Because I took care
Soon there were three small
eggs
Which were taken care of by the guest
The bird is easy to guess
Because it doesnrsquot make a mess
With its red tail
It looked a bit frail
Between the plants green full full
Was the nest of the little Bulbul

The Art of Dharma as per Mahabharata
- Abhishek Singh [Teacher SrSecondary]
Dharma means the Duty or RighteousnessDharma is
subtle many times we are forced to take wrong
means for right means(and ends us like Arjuna in hell)
or reaches wrong ends following right means(like
Yudhishthira in exile)Its like the Ying and Yang
Duryodhanarsquos envy for the Pandvarsquos Indraprastha and
Yudhishthirarsquos greed or addiction to a game of dice
and win more territory was the main cause of war
The envy can result in healthy competitiveness raising
oneself up by making the envious work harder for
rivalrsquos possessions or eternal sickness to pull the rival
downThe envy and greed are both presents even in
the
modern day world the failure
of communism was caused by
envy among citizens while the
capitalist system is stranded by greed The aim of so-
ciety should not be to suppress these feelings among
its citizens but to channelize them productively Envy
is the vice of socialism Greed is the evil of capital-
ism
Dharma is not justice Its difference between Retribu-
tive Justice and forgiveness While a nation with
stronger legal laws can prefer justice over peace the
newly created or war-torn nations with weaker legal
laws should prefer to restore peace and harmony in
society rather than emphasizing justice
Beware You are in for a scare
- Ayush Lonakadi IX-C
I had returned home late but after reaching home I had
wished I had not reached home that day There was no
electricity which just made it creepier When I
reached my room my exhaustion made me forget that
I was famished I lay on the bed scrolling down pic-
tures I had recently clicked I relived happy moments
but someone out there wasnrsquot happy to see me happy
and I noticed a photograph in my phone which be-
mused me ndash not mentioning how frightened I had be-
come
The picture waswashow can I explain The back-
ground was of my house In the photoI was
sleeping Butbut how could that have been possi-
ble I lived alone there was no one to click my photo
while I was sleeping I was petrified with my eyes
wide open and my whole body was horror-struck
Then all the unwanted noises came into focus ndash the
noises from outside noises of something creaking and
the wind forcefully blowing through the thin slit of the
window eerily
I was panic-stricken I
quickly switched my
phone off and kept it on
the table beside and did
not bother about changing my clothes and covered my
face with a blanket and hugged it tightly I could not
even think of sleeping Every second the clock ticked
I hugged the blanket harder My face and chest were
drenched in sweat I felt some supernatural move-
ments around me something trying to reach out to
me
By then I was praying to God to take me away from
that place I was ready to die Then something hap-
pened and I became frantic from tip to toe lsquoIt is Tues-
day todayrsquo The virtual assistant of my phone said but
I clearly remembered that I had switched off my
phone Who asked the question It was this trauma
that I couldnrsquot bear and today I am here telling you
this story after turning into a roaming soul Look to
your right I am right beside you

Travelling Aaryan Aggarwal IX - B
Travelling is an experience It doesnrsquot matter where
you travel Every place is great in its own ways You
could go to a culturally rich yet underdeveloped place
or you could go to an advanced metropolitan place
You could travel slow paced or you could be adven-
turous and go off the beaten path You could go to the
beach you could go to a museum It wonrsquot matter as
wherever you go you will always get a new and
different experience The experiences will open your
mind to a whole new world and culture which will
change your understanding and preconceived notions
about that place You will also get an opportunity to
detoxify yourself from social media Thus I believe
that travelling is more than just a hobby and can
change your entire thought process and state of
mind
Wallflower
- Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
She lived under a rock
More by force than by will
She lived there so long
She had nothing to fight with
All these people pushing her down
Her feeble frame could fight no long
She vowed to never stop the struggle
Until she had on her temples the crown
Declaring to the world her change
after years bygone
From being the young shy girl they saw
But all this struggle slowly had her crumbling
As she withered her dreams fading
Cause promises are sometimes left undone
When fate decides to yield a gun
And the world never saw the light
Of a wallflower wishing to shine so bright
Being Myself -Nidhi Mishra VIII-G
I did never lie to myself
Never strived to be someone else
And so I never shy
To look myself straight in the eye
I did never hide myself
And lavish a priceless gift
Having lsquolifersquo as its spell
Being myself Irsquoll uplift
Life is too short
Donrsquot be someone else
A onetime offer we have got
Even more precious than a thousand jewels

Women Empowerment - Devangi Dongre VII-B
The abilities of women in making decisions educa-
tion and profession have been largely suppressed
since ages considering them inferior to men The sit-
uation is worst in underdeveloped and developing na-
tions where women in a family are not allowed to
take financial decisions or decide on matters regard-
ing their own educationWith such state of affairs it
would be a fallacy to dream about the goals of sus-
tainable development and gender equality There is an
instant need to take measures to lift the social
personal and professional
status of women bringing
them shoulder to shoulder
with men These particular
measures constitute a pro-
cess which is known as ldquoWomen Empowermentrdquo
Providing better education and employment opportu-
nities to women ensuring their better health provid-
ing justice and ensuring professional equivalence are
the few methods of women empowerment

He looked from afar at his towering creation A re-
mote island in the Pacific Ocean seemed like a great
refuge after what had been happening on the Earth
He chose secrecy as his mission had raised many eye-
brows The plan was simple lsquoEscape and start overrsquo
Right now Moon seemed to be the most viable option
in terms of survival The research had been done
Moon was habitable So close to our abode our cos-
mic neighbor the Moon must exist for a reason It-
will not just be a secondary habitat but also be a step-
ping stone for further progress
His meticulously crafted plan was now just minutes
away from execution A team of four explorers would
first leave Earth and explore the Moon to test his hy-
pothesis Once a temporary col-
ony using genetically engi-
neered pods containing human
embryos is set up they would
further analyze the surroundings and find ways to
make it more habitable The lesser gravitational pull
which allowed for a comparatively lower escape ve-
locity made it easier to transport resources from the
Earth or the ISS Sure it would be difficult at first
Earth is unmatched but he knew it was for the greater
good of mankind It would mean more opportunities
and help us understand our place in this universe
Right now we have confined ourselves in a box and
this is the only way to leave it and unleash the won-
ders of the universe In front of his eyes it flew never
to come back

To perceive ones way to success
A dose of victory isnrsquot enough

Television Pros and Cons
- Soumya Sheth
What do most of the people do these days to entertain
themselvesEveryone likes to switch ON their televi-
sion sets which is one of the exceptional inventions of
science When our Dads come home tired after office
the first thing they would like to do is switch On the
TV and relax while watching it from his sofa seat
This is because while watching different things that
are broadcasted on TV we forget our worries and re-
grets of the day
However like every good and popular inventions tel-
evision also has its set of some worrying habits that
people get hitched to For example sometimes kids
watch it for extensive time thereby affecting their
studies This is one of the most worrying habit for par-
ents and we should know that ignoring studies is not
good for our future and studying is as much important
for us at this tender age more than anything elseItrsquos
true that television can bring us the knowledge from
across the world We can see different parts of the
world virtually sitting at the same place But we
should know how
we can use this
incredible inven-
tion of science in
the right and bene-
ficial way for us Now-a-days Smart TVs have be-
come even more popular We can even use internet on
those TVs Use Google to search for answers we donrsquot
know use YouTube to understand how things are
made or get our doubts cleared and much much more
To summarize it I would like to urge all my fellow
students to use this precious invention of science in a
way that will benefit you to gain constructive
knowledge and avoid destructive knowledge We
should know that television is not the world but only a
small component of this world Please know that there
are other things in life which we should enjoy too
along with giving utmost importance to our studies

The night before the final examination
-Marisha Nath VIII- C
The night before the final examination appears to all
examinees as the night before the Battle of Waterloo
might have appeared to Napoleon or the Duke of Wel-
lington Our system of education being what it is we
examinees are bound to be anxious about the nature of
the nature of the questions we will have to answer
next day Even an earnest student who has done all
that needs be done by way of nervousness uncertainty
and suspense on the night before the examination The
morning of the examination finds them prostate with
nervous disorder
But this is one side the picture There are students
who may be described as soldiers of fortune They are
daredevil youngsters who do not take their examina-
tions seriously But their lack of preparation is more
than made up for by the short cuts or bazar notes they
have provided themselves with Even on the night
before the examina-
tion they would be
going about their
daily rounds They
may be found in the parks cafes and restaurants talk-
ing about tips ndashtalking glibly and confidently about
what questions are sure to come The morning of the
examination finds them as cheerful as they were on
the night before
What is needed most is self-confidence and a cool
head True we do not remember all that we have read
when we go to the Examination Hall This does not
mean that we have forgotten them Many things re-
main in the sub ndashconscious region They jump into
consciousness when we face the questions and seri-
ously think of the answers Often such answers score
more marks than prepared ones

Colourful wrapper shiny and bright
Which one to choose which would be right
Houses made of chocolates and doors made of bars
And out stood there a chocolate car
Soon after it was 6 oclock
And could hear the doorrsquos knock
I woke up in a hurry
Just to realise that it was a dream

The ant and the elephant
- SOUMEN RAO IV-E
Once upon a time in a forest there lived an ant and an
elephant The elephant was the biggest among all the
elephants So he was very proud of himself and used
to criticize everyone and the ant which was the tiniest
among them was very happy and cheerful It used to
help everyone I its own way
All the animals in the forest used to complain about
the egoistic elephant So one day when the ant saw the
elephant walking towards it it immediately thought of
a plan As soon as the elephant came near the ant
said ldquoHello My friendrdquo but the elephant replied rude-
ly saying ldquoYou tiny
ant Get off my way
otherwise yoursquoll get
crushed to deathrdquo
Hearing this ant
challenged the elephant sayingrdquo My big friend I can
make you cryrdquo The ant quickly climbed onto the trunk
of the elephant and ran towards its earit went inside
the ear and started biting the elephants ear The ele-
phant tried to flap its ears but in vain After a few
minutes tears started rolling down its eyes It cried
ldquoPlease come out of my ear I canrsquot bear the painrdquo As
soon as the ant came out the elephant apologized for
its mistake and didnrsquot tease any animals from that day
Grandparents

when we are shouted
With generosity and be-
nevolence they are bounded
Be sure to always meet your grandparents once in a
while and enhance yourself by their presence

With such state of affairs it would be a fallacy to dream about the goals of sustainable development and gen-
der equality There is an instant need to take measures to lift the social personal and professional status of
women bringing them shoulder to shoulder with men These particular measures constitute a process which
is known as ldquoWomen Empowermentrdquo Providing better education and employment opportunities to women
ensuring their better health providing justice and ensuring professional equivalence are the few methods of
women empowerment
Water Conservation
- Paarth Bhagat VII-J
Water is life If there was no water there would be no
life Hence water is the precious gift of God to mother
Earth We cannot imagine our lives without water
We human beings are made up of water it is the only
transportation medium that carries the food molecules
and oxygen to the cells of every body parts to help the
blood It signifies that water is the most essential in-
gredient to the functioning of life of every organism
So you see living this wonderful life is impossible
without water
Water is the force behind all the industry agriculture
manufacturing and trade and commerce All forms of
energy generation is done using water Be it hydroe-
lectrically projects or thermal power plant or nuclear
power plant water is
the key ingredient in
all of them There
would be no power
without water No
water no life
So it is our responsibility to conserve this life nectar
It is possible only through by changing our outlook
towards this wonderful natural resource We must en-
sure there is no pollution of water bodies by dumping
any waste such as sewage effluents and other toxic
substances We must also ensure there is no emission
of green-house gases into the atmosphere The people
and the government must ensure installation of efflu-
ents and smoke treatment plants at industrial garbage
and sewage units

The kind Fairies -Aditys Patil VIII-E
This story starts with two beautiful babies in a king-
dom called fairyland The babies were very pretty
Their names were Ovi and Riddhi They were growing
pretty well As they grew they became more and
more pretty Over and over they were also fairies and
within 5 years they became young girls Their mother
told them to go to school The girls askedwhere are
the schools There are no schools here Mother said
dont worry you will go to the planet Earth On the
planet Earth there is a very good school named New
Horizon Public School and the short form is nhps We
said ok On the first day of our school we were very
afraid but after a few days we
became more smart than the
others We were getting a lot of
prizes which we shared with
eveyone in the school This
made us and others happy One day We became the
princess of fairyland Our wings were like a rainbow
We were twins and had very long hairs Now I end
my story with a beautiful quote
ALWAYS HELP EACH OTHER LIKE THE
FARIES BECAUSE HELPING PEOPLE IS THE
PATH TO GOD
The Day Irsquoll Never Forget - Saranya Sarangi VII -
It was a day of love and affection
There was no visible sign of caution
But something unfortunate was going to happen
Nobody knew where and when
There was a blast at half past three
In a beauty land called Paradise On Earth
A complete silence and pity hadnrsquot the thee
Perished laid the martyrs
Whom our motherland gave birth
I still remember that scaring sight
The scattered limbs I couldnrsquot see
My heart got filled with grief and fright
No Indian could glee
Terribly writhing the soldiers were seen
Some families languished and some
were crying
So loyal to their country they had been
None of their families were mollifying
Whatever homage to our martyrs we pay
Tiny before their they lay
Salute to their tribute to motherland
To protect us they always walked hand in hand
Little Birdie - Marisha Nath VIII-C
I am a little birdie in the sky
With two wings to fly
I never disturb you
I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom
O human Then why do you steal my FREEDOM
Binding me alone in the cage makes me sad
Donrsquot you know caging a bird is bad
Looking at the sky
I wish I could fly
I never disturb you
I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom
O human Then why do you steal my
FREEDOM

Summers in India - Saranya Sarangi VIII
A hot season beginning from April till May is what we
call summer And thatrsquos the basic rule in India But
thatrsquos not something through which we can define
summers in our country India The sun shining high
above the head increasing the heat and this scorching
heat is something very unique about summers in India
Those ice-lolly stalls roaming down the streets tin-
kling their tiny bells is something special one will nev-
er find in any other country Many people love this
season
Especially the children as they get to eat ice-creams
Many people even donrsquot As they feel that this season
can only make a person dehydrated exhausted and irri-
tated Summer as we think as an unfruitful season is
contrast in reality Schools conduct summer camps
during vacation where stu-
dents can join different aca-
demic and co-curricular
courses to improve them-
selves Many children even spend time with their fami-
lies
Often families plan trips to different places as they get
a very long vacation during this season But now-a-
days due to increasing heat these pleasant summers
are becoming unbearable Every just sweat and sweat
We get a lethargic feeling not ready to do any work
Due to this heat we continually keep the ACs on which
consume a lot of electricity creating trouble for our
mother Earth and us Gradually that charm of the
unique kind of summers will be lost if precautions are
not taken We must really hope and work hard to bring
back our lovely lsquoSummers in Indiarsquo
Exams are good or bad
- Nupoor Teli VIIIndashI
In my humble opinionexams are apressure on the stu-
dents They are forced to study and score good
markswhich can lead to frustration An environmentof
competitivenessof standing first is created for which
students keep on studying day and night without any
recreation It is good to studybut not just for the sake
of gaining marks
Why do we study What is the main intention behind
education Seeking intersresting and fascinating
knowledge as well as facts about the world But now-a
-daysthe main reason for studying is gaining marks If
there are no marksno career andno success This is the
mindset of 70 people of the worldespecially parents
They pressurize their children so much that they get
depressed or sometimes attempt suicide as well
Every two months an exam is conducted Moreo-
verthere are projectssubject-enrichment activi-
tieschapter test sfter every topicnotebookfile submis
sion etcAnd as acherry on top
of the cakewe have the semes-
ter exams of eighty marks as
well What all will the students
do And even if any extra-
curricular activities are being learntthen more extra
studies Just studystudy and study
Why so much of tension on the children Under this
tension only they start cheating As time passes cheat-
ing becomes a habit of their life
I fell that exams should be conducted once a term in
order to evaluate whether the students are clear with
the concepts or notThey shouldnt be pressurized for
their marksbut should be made understand their mis-
takes Let them choose their own career options on
their own Help them knowwhat they like to study and
what they want to do in their life So dont pressurize
students for what they dont likeand encourage them in
what they do After allthey are only the Rising stars of
the country

Life is magical - Piyush Sahoo VII-H
A new day or a new night
Everything in life seems bright
A new morning or a new evening
Life is full of happening
A life is just like a kite
It may disappear in a sight
Life moves from baby to old
Make your life challenging and bold
Enjoy life the fullest
Never accept less than best
Unlikely life comes to an end
But remember never to bend
Happy sadness victory and loss
Accept it the way it comes
Life can be at times tragical
But make it the most beautiful
Life is magicalhellip
Life is so magicalhellip
Humility -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
Humility is having a heart to treat others with respect
and love Considering people worthy of your love
time and efforts regardless of who they are or what
they have done A person is truly humble when they
are willing to work hard for others expecting nothing
in return
Humility has the power to change a personrsquos perspec-
tive towards life It can make a difference in the way a
person is looked upon by others Doing an act of hum-
bleness can make a personrsquos day Humility is about
not having an ego or considering things below your
dignity or considering yourself greater than others
People often confuse humility with self-respect They
canrsquot make out the difference between being useful to
others and being used by others
It takes courage to be humble
because in the era in which we
live humility is looked upon as
weakness People assume yoursquore not strong enough to
stand up for yourself They think you surrender in-
stead of protesting They will despise and scorn you
but they donrsquot know that you take pleasure in what
you do because they havenrsquot experienced that kind of
joy
So if you do have humility donrsquot draw back from it
because of what others think Whatever you are doing
is for the good of others and you have no need to be
ashamed of that Humbleness will spread from person
to person Who knows maybe your one act of humili-
ty will spread on to help a person in need So be brave
be humble
Mom -Tanvi Sawant VII-C
Oh mom I came to this beautiful world just because
of youhellip
Mom what would I do without you
Oh mom there are thorns on the way
But you manage to get me awayhellip
Oh mom I canrsquot say how much yoursquore to me
Mom just promise me that yoursquoll and
always be with mehellip
Oh mom this world is incomplete
without you
Just like the sky without itrsquos bright color bluehellip
Oh mom yoursquore the candle that showed the way in the
dark
My dear mom you made my life spark

OUR FUTURE EARTH - Hiya Purswani VIII-B
We all know the present condition of our environment
around us Inspite of advanced and modern technolo-
gy we humans are still not able to find a solution
Early humans neither they had much technology nor
they had enough intelligence but still in the early ages
the environment was clean making it the reason for
the increasing life span of humans Its a shocking
news to know that the amount of plastic bottles pro-
duced now may lead to increase in plastic pollution
and cause several death Its a great opportunity to be
as a human in this beautiful earth and so its our re-
sponsibility to make it clean In monsoon people cut
down trees to prevent accidents to occur but do we
plant trees in summer to prevent more global warm-
ing We can prevent bad things to happen but not can-
not take that much effort for good things to spread
Have you ever wondered while seeing a tap open how
many taps are left open at the same time in the whole
world It might sound unbelievable there can be a
World War III on water land and fresh air The way
we are thinking about the wastage of water may lead
us to a massive pain Itrsquos truly said by Warren Buffet
sometimes to buy things we need we have to sell
things we do not need This happens in the case of
lacking of intelligence We say every scholar is a true
genius but in my
opinion a person is
genius if he has the
ability to save and
change things in his
own way We all have the ability to save this earth
but our thoughts our ego and our greediness is stop-
ping us to think in a better way Everyone has a good
and a bad side in his life What matters is the part we
choose to act upon This is an excellent thought said
by Sirius Black in the movie Harry Potter Itrsquos time to
bring a change We always have time to do good
things all we need is hope Spreading awareness is the
best idea to bring a change If everyone stops thinking
about their economical needs and start contributing
towards the environment by planting more trees cer-
tainly there will be a beneficial change in this world
Neither do we think about the future nor care about
the present Why not be an optimist and think in a
positive way of life Our studies our needs our
knowledge will not help us in any way if we donʼt
change Its not that easy to plant a tree and care for it a
whole year if we only plant it with all our love nature
is certainly going to care for it Lastly I would like to
end with a quoterdquo Come forth in the light of things
nature will be your teacher
The Small Hours Pranjal Anil Chavan V-C
No more my little song Come back
And now of nights I lay my head on down
to watch the black
And wait the unfailing gray
Oh Sad are winter nights and slow
And sad is a song thatrsquos dumb
And sad it is to lie I know
Another dawn will come

Floods and Destruction
- Nirvi Soni IV-H
India faces occurrence of floods each year in some
parts of Assam during the rainy season Water of river
Brahmaputra rises and enters into many villages
causing great destruction Floods are unavoidable but
we need to take precautions in the following ways by
reducing mining activities building dams growing
more trees etc During floods the weather becomes
wet and gloomy Trees and plants get uprooted This
way floods cause great de-
struction to both life and
property It also becomes dif-
ficult to travel from place to
place Many people are left
homeless The rain water should be harvested and
stored in large storage tanks The harvested rainwater
can be used for washing clothes and cleaning By us-
ing rain water in our daily life we can preserve water
resources
Good Morning Everyone -Vyomi ThakkarVI - H

Wersquoll surely find the crown
Up on the chilled mountain
We saw a beautiful fountain
Surrounded by a beautiful castle
Decorated with the colourful tassel
Just be quiet and keen
Soon you will be the queen
Think before you speak
-Shravya Atreya IX-D
Think before you speak
There are hearts you must please
Think before you speak
You canrsquot undo the harm done after you squeak
Think before you speak
You might have done greater harm than you might
think
Think before you speak
There are still places left for you
to seek
Think before you speak
There is a long way to go before
you sleep
Think before you speak
There are hearts you must
please

GLOBAL WARMING - Adhyant Singh VII-F
Global warming refers to the steady rise in the Earthrsquos mean temperature The effect of global
warming had come into sight when polar ice caps started melting this phenomena is called ICE ndash
ALBEDO the ice caps melt faster due to the rise in the temperature This sudden rise in the temperature near
the poles began in 1999 The polar ice caps in Antarctica melt at the rate of 400000000000 tons per year ac-
cording to some scientists it would approximately take 5000 years to melt the total ice on earth In 2013 Inter-
governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) stated that the main cause of Global warming is human inter-
vention like emission of Green house gases like Carbon-Di-Oxide nitrous oxide and methane
These gases trap the heat which is reflected by the Earthrsquos surface thus increasing the temperature and also
destroying the ozone layer which prevents the ultraviolet rays of the sun from reaching the earthrsquos surface Al-
so burning fossil fuel contributes to the problem Effects of global warming have also led to the increase in the
sea level and extreme weather like heat waves and change in the regional pattern of precipitation and the ex-
pansion of desserts A concentrated and focused effort by the entire humanity can curb down the impact of
Global warming and also prevent it Planting more trees to control the amount of carbon-di-oxide eliminating
the use of chlorofluorocarbon or (CFCrsquoS) are a few steps All the countries have signed up with the United Na-
tions Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to prevent the doomsday of Earth So to prevent
earthrsquos doomsday we all must work together
Itrsquos not too late there is still timehellipBefore the earth ends and we whinehellipSo keep on marching and planting
greens To end Global Warming and Make our planet greenhellip

The Night - Matangi Rajesh VII-D
Its the night
The moon is white
When we switch off the light
What a beautiful sight
After this comes the sun bright
There is no more artificial light
This is the time to start your diet
To go for a run wearing tights
Then comes the evening when
you have snacks light
And fly a big colorful kite
or include your sibling in a pillow fight
Again comes the night
A moon which is white
We switch off the light
A beautiful sight

Hyperloop -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
Human inventions have baffled the world They are
innumerable ranging from revolutionizing
smartphones to not-so-breathtaking ice cream cones
but they play a role in our life just the same The
things which are commonplace to us now were unbe-
knownst to people once upon a time For the people of
the 19th century the car was a thing of the future until
in 1885 Karl Benz ran his first car on the road Then
for centuries people took the prospect of of flying like
the birds as only a wild possibility which was made
possible in 1903 when the Wright Brothers flew the
first plane
What is the thing of the future for us Well we are the
future modifying and bettering the things that have
been made and crating stuff that we didnt even dare
to imagine about The Hyperloop fulfills both aspects
of the definition a very advanced model of our faith-
ful train and yet a brand new idea to scale greater
heights The Hyperloop is an ideal mode of efficient
transport Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane
with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing
speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt have to
ace the two types of friction that every other vehicle
has to face Air resistance and ground friction The
pods of the Hyperloop are propelled through a depres-
surized tub Since it is almost vacuum very little air
resistance can be offered inside the tube Due to this
the energy required to travel is also very less The Hy-
perloops unique technology uses magnetic levitation
to guide and lift the pods of the rail Since the pod is
not in contact with the ground there is no friction act-
ing on itThe first Hyperloop ndash virgin Hyperloop one
is set to run with passengers as early as 2021 and is
created by SpaceX and Tesla
The mastermind behind the Hyperloop is Elon Musk
who first published a 58 page white-paper on the web-
site of his company-Space X It was available to all
and was titled Hyperloop alpha The Hyperloop may
be the pioneer of a whole new era of transportation
traveling a distance which would otherwise take 12
hours in just I hour it has crossed all known bounda-
ries and created higher limits for us to reach and reach
we must for when time is money and money is time
an option that saves both needs to be used
Exams are good or bad -Nupoor Teli VIII
In my humble opinion exams are pressure on the stu-
dents They are forced to study and score good marks
which can lead to frustration An environment of com-
petitiveness of standing first is created for which stu-
dents keep on studying day and night without any rec-
reation It is good to study but not just for the sake of
gaining marks
Why do we study What is the main intention behind
education Seeking interesting and fascinating
knowledge as well as facts about the world But now-a
-days the main reason for studying is gaining marks
If there are no marks no career and no success This
is the mindset of 70 people of the world especially
parents They pressurize their children so much that
they get depressed or sometimes attempt suicide as
wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-
ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities
chapter test after every topic notebookfile submis-
sion etc And as cherry on top of the cake we have the
semester exams of eighty marks as well What all will
the students do And even if any extra-curricular ac-
tivities are being learnt then more extra studies Just
study study and study
Why so much of tension on the children Under this
tension only they start cheating As time passes cheat-
ing becomes a habit of their lifeI fell that exams
should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate
whether the students are clear with the concepts or
not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but
should be made understand their mistakes Let them
choose their own career options on their own Help
them know what they like to study and what they want
to do in their life So dont pressurize students for
what they dont like and encourage them in what they
do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the
country

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B
Life is all about interactions You meet people and
you interact You observe them consciously or sub-
consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us
more than we even realise Some people leave a last-
ing impression on us and entirely change the course of
life for better or for worse Some people influence us
help us go further and make all the difference
I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-
tial people They have taken care of me ever since I
came into this world They are the ones who wish the
best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-
cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel
no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-
come a part of my personality They are the ones who
helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me
to be better
When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are
the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-
takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique
learning experience It has made me realise how eve-
rything they do has a reason They are the ones who
have taught me the importance of the little things in
life They are the ones who have helped me recognize
and follow my passion The very thought of them not
being a part of my life is scary to the least as without
them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am
today and whatever I have achieved is all because of
them and I am very grateful of that
Eyesight
-Aditi Shenoy VIII-F
The tired little girl went to bed
Recollecting the days bygone
Seeing them in her dreams
As the day she was born
Trying to see the world
With her little eyes
But the sun with his brightness
Wouldnt let her catch the sights
The girl still eager
And curious to see the world around her
Again opened her eyes
But her vision was blurred
Still she did not lose hope
Which flowed through her blood
Encouraging and pushing her
To see the world further
Her heart beating fast
Her enthusiasm increasing
She slowly tried to see
With her eyes continuously blinking
Starting to lose hope
She was ready to give up
But curiosity got the upper hand
And pushed her forward
With her hope again rising
and strength in her eyesight
She is finally seeing the world
With wide open eyes

Chandrayan-2 Indiarsquos Moon Mission The dream of
entire India to land on moon and become the 4th Na-
tion in the world to put its flag on the soil of moon
after USSR USA amp China
ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launched
Chandrayan-2 on 22nd July 2019 from Bengaluru
(Satish Dhawan Space Center) under the command of
ISRO chief K Shivan It consists of ORBITER
LANDER amp Lunar Rover PRAGYAN Like Chandra-
yan-1(22nd Oct2008) it was Indiarsquos indigenous moon
mission
It touched the Moon Surface on Saturday early morn-
ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-
ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-
ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of
moon it lost contact with the ground station Because
of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be
monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m
(approx) away from its assigned location near
SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still
orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange
signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it
The ORBITER which will remain active for another
12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-
owed portion of the moon for the first time in history
with the help of its high-resolution camera
The entire Nation irrespective of their field of
knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front
of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of
VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true
Indians who always dream progress and development
of their motherland But our heart never accepts this
as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement
for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-
pose of our mission
But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at
this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring
country quoting this as a big failure on part of India
blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos
money on this
Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will
be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to
this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other
nations on such missions
Further I should say that India is not new in the field
of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-
TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975
It was named after famous scientist of ancient India
ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested
for the first time the HELIOCENTRIC THEORY
(Sun at the center and all planets revolve around the
Sun) of the Solar System much earlier than ready for

COPERNICUS as believed in the western world
Other countries might have moon on their flags but
we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is
great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are
whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-
rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is
only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the
unknown and its continual application for the benefit
of the mankind)rdquo
Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by
various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-
PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-
cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958
onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as
46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was
attempted out of which only 21 was successful
Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-
tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the
overall attempts conducted by other Nations
USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-
NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was
planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January
SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR
successfully on moon
NASA after many attempts was successful to send
first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th
July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk
on moon
Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-
clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-
SION MANGAL for our next moon mission

From Principalrsquos Desk
The most important step we can take toward achiev-
ing our greatest potential in life is to learn to monitor
our attitude and its impact on our work performance
relationships and everyone around us
We all have a choice We can choose an inner dia-
logue of self-encouragement self-motivation or we
can choose one of self-defeat and self-pity Itrsquos a
power we all have
Our mind is a computer that can be programmed We
can choose whether the software installed is produc-
tive or unproductive
Our inner dialogue is the software that programs our
attitude which determines how we present ourselves
to the world around us We have control over the
programming Whatever we put into it is reflected in
what comes out
Many of us have behavior patterns today that were
programmed into our brains at a very tender age The
sad reality of life is that we continue to hear negative
information but we donrsquot have to program it into our
brains
The most influential voice we hear is our own inner
voice our selfcritic It can work for or against us de-
pending on the messages we allow
It can be optimistic or pessimistic It can wear us
down or cheer us on We control the sender and the
receiver but only if we consciously take responsibil-
ity for and control over our inner conversation
Habitual bad attitudes are often the product of past
experiences and events Common causes include low
self-esteem stress fear resentment anger and an ina-
bility to handle change
It takes serious work to examine the roots of a harm-
ful attitude but the rewards of ridding ourselves of this
heavy baggage can last a lifetime
School Magazine is a wonderful platform for students to
showcase their talents of creativity writing ideating etc I
appreciate the efforts of all the budding writers and artists
for making this magazine vibrant I thank the entire Editori-
al Team for their good work and support God bless you all

ldquoMicro changes in Life can bring Macro Transformationrdquo
Children should be taught to think We should help them to unfold their imaginations and give life to
their thoughts amp aspirations The Hands on Learning Activities done in class will unleash a wide
spectrum of creative skills This I believe is the strongest factor for success in raising his self esteem
amp the most overwhelming key to a childrsquos success is the attitude by parents by giving the space to the
child and not comparing them to others ldquoThe secret of getting ahead is getting startedrdquo So why not
give them a jumpstart from the grass root level itself
We are pleased to present to you our E-Magazine It is a milestone that marks our growth unfolds
childrenrsquo s imagination to foster a positive learning Environment Letrsquos give them a platform to
think express ampexhibit their skills
I congratulate the editorial team for their hard work in releasing this E magazine

ldquo What you are is Godrsquos gift to you What you become is your gift to God ldquo
Language is one of Godrsquos greatest gift to humans given for the purpose of sharing ideas with others
Without leaving our chairs we can go to all parts of the world We mediate on the wonders of creation
But without the gift of language we would be limited in the ways we can share these ideas Words help
us let others know what we are feeling how much we care or how our hearts are filled with awe and
wonder and gratitude to God for all He has given us
Our School magazine is a mirror reflecting the creativity of young minds of the school I extend my

A shadow side in me - Sunit Dighe VIII-C
Your life is in your hands How to solve your life with
ease Thats always a big question in a puzzled mind
Synchronizing the answer is always necessary Elabo-
ration the next first lets understand why you get a
human life hereditarily Until and unless you have
solved the Rubiks cube of your life with cases truly
hard then you are fulfill to get handout of the running
notes written by your mind for a total 70 years Thats
not a small value Its 70times12=etc
Now whats a shadow side of your life Its none other
than your emotions Answer to the shadow side of
your life in emotions is depression Not going beyond
and deeper in depression But those who dont know
what is depression -It is the state in which your mind
losses thinking will power and confidence for find-
ing no way in taking the right path for the solution
Depresion acts in making your life a
bit difficult Mind makes all unneces-
sary savages which have a result 0
See the matchmaking here the villain
depression has no hero to be defeated You yourself
are a hero but you sometimes fail to take control over
depression So here motivation plays a extravagant
role
How to solve your life with ease That was our ques-
tion in the start Life isnt easy but definitely you can
decide your life Have a success its good defeating
all sort of gratuitous emotions is better and thinking
optimistically is best Like with what the quote moti-
vatesldquoonly when you illuminate otherswithout ex-
pectation or rewardwill you truly understand how to
illuminate yourselfrdquo only remember dont let you sink
your mind sink and your foolish but previous life to
sink in the deep disarrayed water
The destiny in my hands - Aaryan Aggarwal IX-B
Destiny The word means the inevitable fate or some
events that will necessarily happen to some person in
the future It is however a notion and not a proven
fact as obviously no one can see the future People
believe that what destiny says is the ultimate truth and
absolutely nothing can change it However I beg to
differ as while it may be inevitable it will not neces-
sarily be completely unchangeable To give an exam-
ple a person born into a poor family may believe that
his destiny is poverty and nothing else
However with enough efforts and determination he
she may grow up to be very successful This has led
me to believe that destiny is not any actual power or
anything that can affect our future Rather it is a state
of mind that sometimes may lead to demotivation
This happens because success has never come without
failures In failures we tend to lose
positivity and start becoming nega-
tive and their mindset towards life all
-in-all becomes negative This is
where we begin to believe that this is what destiny had
in store for us and this is exactly what we are going to
get With this preconceived notion people often lose
interest or even give up entirely However since desti-
ny is a figment of a personrsquos mind it can be modified
as and when required
Thus believing in destiny and hoping that the hard-
ships that you have faced are all part of a bigger plan
will give you the motivation to do better and improve
Thus I believe that destiny while not being real to
some extent can change the course of a personrsquos life
Destiny is not unchangeable the power to do so lies in
your very hands

Savior of all Nikita V IXndash A
Our country is safe
Because of you
You protect our country today
And forever yoursquoll do

Because you are there

Bravery in your fights

Salute to you and all

Self Confidence
Anirudh Shetti VI B
Self Confidence is an attitude that allows you to move
forward and achieve your goals Self confidence
means believing in yourself It is an ability that makes
the human believe in himself For example Tim was a
boy who had a stage fear One day he was selected for
the assembly as a reporter On the day of assembly
Tim was very scared to go on the stage Then he
thought about Self confidence Long ago his mother
said him that if a person has Self confidence he can
cross away all the difficulties in his life So at that
time Tim forgot all the fear and became a self confi-
dent boy
On assembly he reported beautifully and he was the
best reporter in the assembly There are some more
other positives like positive thinking concentration
good manners being kind etc Like Theodore Roose-
velt said ldquoEach time we face fear we gain strength
courage and confidence in the doingrdquo I will conclude
my article with this quote ldquoBelieve in yourself and
you will be unstoppablerdquo
Pencil
-Aadya Agarwal V
Once I was drawing with a pencil
But to draw proper shape I need a stencil
I was using a pencil to write a phrase
I wrote it wrong then the teacher said ldquoErase Eraserdquo
I lost my pencil
But it was with my friend Jencil
With that pencil I drew a triangle and a rectangle
But I was not able to find its angle
In English I had to complete punctuation marks
With help of that pencil James drew many sharks
In science there was a chemical blast
My teacher said ldquopencilrsquos life is very vastrdquo
Once more I lost my pencil
It was stuck in my hair
Once again i lost my pencil
But this time it was lost in a fair

Taras intelligence
- Pritika Manohar kadam VIII ndashD
Once upon a time there lived a couple near the town
They were just married and expected a child After a
year they had twins Both were charming Their
names were Yash and Tara
Tara was expected to do the household work and
Yash was to go to school and do a job Tara was an
very intelligent girl so she used to take her brothers
old books and study on her own
One fine day she asked her brother Why every time
I have to do the household work and not study like
you Her brother asked many people but got a com-
mon answer that girls are not meant to study
So both of them decided to ask their father He gave a
confusing answer that if Tara wants to go to school I
can help her to learn and write but which school will
give her admission I cant fight for one girl
She understood what he meant so Tara had an idea
about that She gathered her friends and told them the
importance of education
Next day she gathered them and
went to her father and said you
wont help one girl (me) so can
you help us to study Her father was impressed by her
intelligenceHe took them to the principal who was
his friend and requested him several times about the
admission of the girls
At last one day he agreed to take the admission of
those girls They started going to school everyday
The problem was all the people were frustrated They
used to throw garbage near their house and also say
abusing words Also stop the ways of the girls for
going to school
They also took the house of Tara and Yash They
used to live in a hut with those girls as well
The people used to throw stones on them The girls
did not lose their hopes and studied hard All those
after many years started working in office
The people were proud afterwards and they started a
girls school They gave back house of Yash and Tara
The ordeal to say a lsquogoodbyersquo
-Nidhi Mishra VIII-G
Together we laughed
Together we wept
Myriad fond impressions We kept
Jointly we danced like daisy
We didnrsquot bother about others
We chuckled like crazy
Concerning about the fussy was tempestuous
Together we were scintillating
We were engrossed in
Our cackles were uplifting
Something was sinister I remained keen
That gloominess was undesirable
Not you but our disunion was near
Our parting was lamentable
The distance between us was my fear
Our disunion was forthcoming
I wished I could quit it
Tears from our eyes were running
With those yet we had to split
Years had flown by
Not the echo
The ordeal to say a

And to lose a loyal oppo

My dream House
-Harshith Nair IX-B
Voila I have shifted to my new house
Away from those lizards and that cunning mouse
That was once a basic and simple house
Now canrsquot get over the whoaas and wowws
Ancient doors and artefacts with a palatial tinge
Enter and you would feel yoursquove got wings
Vintage artefacts and interiors add to the glam
quotient
A gramophone an antique
telephone that take you to an
era thatrsquos ancient
To me and my brotherrsquos surprise therersquos an excit-
ing bunk bed
Now who sleeps on the top therersquos gonna be a

I hate boasting but this onersquos the icing on the
cake
Let me tell you friends this was a dream all

Friendship
-Divya Johnson VIII ndash I
Friendship has no form
sometimes it makes us feel secure and warm
Sometimes leaves us cold and forlorn
and sometimes gives us the power to go on
We mistake it often for something materializing
but itrsquos free and artistic
It is hard to catch
no other virtue has its match
Indomitable Earth - Poorvi Sanu IX ndashG
Our global crisis has created a cure
No A treatment for what is in the store
New seasons simmer shorelines bore
Plastics not fake its sweet
Everlasting a love we adore
Are you sure
Intestinal hurdle artwork framed
Mammals fattened by unnatural floating
Wild material machine Unseen
Where does your waste ream
What can I do
It takes more than
one It takes society
Globally to do what
needs to be done
Our footprint is mas-
sive weighty
Join Mother Earth
On our journey here and abroad
Full of disbelief and open scorn
Itrsquos worth the attempt to help her adorn
To help her heal her sores prevent more welts

Travelling via train -Aditya Patil VIII-E
Travelling is a prominent and a fun-learning activity of
our life It introduces us to new people their culture
and enhances skills that are essential in our lives
Travelling gives a wonderful experience to the travel-
ers especially by train I am being so sight to write the
essay lsquocause guess what ldquoI AM TRAVELLING IN
THE BUMPY TRAINrdquo hearing the quarrels for seats
with the bumps of the train
Train to me is the most favourite mode of transport for
long journeys I am sure even others love travelling via
train inspite of the long journey and time But if its
with families or with bachelor friends therersquos no one
stopping them from being happy During travelling we
also get familiar to stops during the journey where
people get off and enter This introduces us to the cul-
ture of those regions
and thatrsquos what makes our
India famous and legend-
ary We also get to eat
those India-famous snacks
from all over India like lsquoShehgaon kachorirsquo lsquo Kol-
hapuri misalrsquo and I would stop here or else I know
your mouth is watering and you wanna eat this
This is what travelling is It increases our general
knowledge as we get across so many new things Trav-
elling by train is much more affordable than aero-
planes where we just have to sit and enjoy the luxury
Travelling will also introduce you to all kinds of peo-
ple like the innocent ones the fighters the caring ones
who surrender themselves for you and sometimes the
people you know So to enjoy these beautiful moments
of life travel once or twice a year to refresh your-
selves
Control Yourself - Suvan Lokhande IX-A
Controlling yourself is something great that you have
achieved in your whole life Controlling a particular
thing with which you get addicted is a big thing Dur-
ing puberty children get addicted to various bad things
such as food mobile TV or maybe food
ldquoControl Yourself Kidrdquo ldquoDone not more than
thisrdquo ldquoControlrdquo such types of sentences maybe
familiar to you which must be said by your mom dad
teachers and your elders But thatrsquos exactly true what
they say I know that itrsquos difficult to leave a particular
thing with which you get addicted But still if you
leave it certainly this can make an impact in your life
I mean to say that leave only bad things and not the
good things like reading or studying Believe it every-
thing is possible in this whole world If Neil Arm-
strong can go to moon then why cannot you leave your
bad habit Lets take an example a
boy who likes to eat a lot he may
like to eat Chinese Continental
Asian and whatever But you must
take care of your fitness too We can
eat whatever we want but in a limit
If you start practicing such good practices you can
surely be the one who has changed his whole life to a
certain life
And these changes can definitely make you proudAt
last my opinions may have some differences but eve-
ryday we get to learn something from our daily experi-
ences And I truly believe that if we make a decision
and start opting it in our daily life we can surely our-
selves make a change in our whole life At last I con-
vey that you need to control yourself and follow this
motto in your lifehelliphellipControl Yourself amp Be the
Change

Anger Management
- Sfurti Kumbhar IX-A
AngerhellipThe worst of emotions It causes a LOT of
problems Like damaged friendships separated fami-
lies to list a few The list is long But as many people
have tried and failed controlling anger can be impos-
sible at times when the little fuse in your brain blows
off Let us discuss controlling anger today
Basically anger management seems and sounds im-
possible But as it turns out it isnrsquot Itrsquos really simple
To be honest I am a cranky person Even the slightest
bit of annoying thing or the face of an irritating person
blows my fuse off So well yeah Irsquom trying to get it
under control Sort of
Impossible right Managing anger sounds easy You
can distract yourself from the situation Permanently
fix an imaginary meter in your brain which indicates
anger level My meter is always near 50-60 When I
say that Irsquom a cranky person you can see that I mean
it
As I was saying the meter Anytime you feel that the
meter is rising just find some ways to control it Like
the classic ldquodrink cool water to cool down your warm
headrdquo or breathe Listen to your fav music Or ask
yourself this simple question
ldquoIs getting angry at this person or screaming at them
going to improve my day in any way whatsoeverrdquo
If the answer is yes go ahead Scream all that you
want at the person and improve your day But if the
answer is no STOP yourself in time Maybe make
yourself an anger dice Or breathe in Out And may-
be the classic as mentioned above
Frankly these ways have helped me to reduce my
ldquofuse blowing offrdquo times since grade 4 Anger may be
one of the smartest issues but we are smarter
You are a masterpiece - Tisha Gangar VIII-A
There are songs in your eyes
Singing lullabies
The voice is so pretty

Right inside your heart
Painting pictures which create
memories
That are soothing just like a
breeze
You are a Masterpiece
With an end number of skills
Creativity is your strength
Keep safe till the end

Monsoon -Isha Bhanushali VIII
The most alluring part in monsoon season is the way
people tackle them Every where you scan people are
struggling back to reach their home back safely and it
indeed gives you a sense of achievement when you
reach home without getting drained by the gushing
water the automobiles blow on youWell my case is a
little bit different Every time I attempt not to step in-
side the puddle the next step will certainly be inside
it
It was raining heavily that day and unlike my usual
days it was a special one I got dispersed from my
classes by 600 and not aware about the conditions
outside I stepped outside expecting my van to pick
me up Suddenly there was gloomy all around and
there was silence everywhere (huh Because the light
went off) and to add insult to injury I got a call from
my Sir that the van will be com-
ing 1 hour late
I after a while made up my
mind I will set out and go on
my ownI took my umbrella and set out with my
friend The roads were all muddy and the water
reached up to my ankle The situation got testified as
it started raining heavily We all expected the rain to
stop after a while but it was adamant throwing its
tantrums on us All over the road there were vehicles
parked and there was no way to move
But not giving up we carried forward to reach our des-
tination After a long tiring journey of 1km (which
took us almost 1hr) we reached our home safely I had
a feeling of accomplishing a big feat that day
But the climax is here
I had to listen to my Moms scolding
Yes because I had stepped inside a big puddle

etcetera etcetera etceteraWhat do these words re-
mind you of Yep Thatrsquos right These are all systems
for women
These are sacrifices and systems that women perform
for their better halves So that their spouses have a
long and safe life But what do these spouses do in
return Discriminate these women Consider them
inferior I think that only about 15 of men give
equal opportunities and rights to women
This number is increasing no doubt but then this is a
slow processMen work approximately 6 ndash 8 hours a

To all the men and boys reading this I have a few
questions for youDo you have the guts to perform all
housework with 5 guests in the house Do you have
enough courage to change your sur-
name after marriage Do you have
the guts to leave your ancestral home
where you have lived for at least 23
years Are you ready to be dominated
by women More importantly are you ready to listen
to pungent words from your mother-in-law And of
course do you guys have courage to bear a child for 9
months and 9 days and give birth and nurture the ba-

Giving birth is simultaneous to fracturing 20 ndash 21
bones at once Did men know this And yet they con-
sider women weak They think that because wersquore
women we cannot thinkIf we cannot think who is
Marie Curie If we are weak who delivers kids
Women arenrsquot any different They are children of

What women want is love and respect They work

Submission to Peer Pressure -Akshat Mishra IX -G
ldquoHey Mohan When did you get this new iPhone-Xrdquo
we asked him in surprise as we knew the financial
condition of his family ldquoMy cousin gifted it to merdquo
quipped Mohan sheepishly All the boys resumed
playing but I knew there was something amissPeer
pressure is becoming increasingly inevitable amongst
teenagers One may argue that it is a part of human
nature It may be pivotal for a human being but its
darker side is certainly the more powerful one
People are easily succumbing to peer pressure without
realising its consequences Just to gain respect in
someonersquos eyes they are even ready to quarrel with
their parents and ward their attention from their nec-
essary activities A recent survey suggested that the
maximum people in a rave are a group of teenagers
The clutches of peer pressure are so strong that people
arenrsquot being able to listen even to their conscience
The youth mostly is just littering around the streets
smoking cigarettes boozing or becoming a victim to
social networks sites like Facebook or Instagram Hu-
man resource is the most valuable resource that we
have and the youth are supposed to replenish this re-
source not just to become egoists The are the future
of the planet but sadly they arenrsquot forging the path for
mankind that they are supposed to
Hopefully there is some resistance against this social
evil in modern days Such people have sworn to stay
adamant and not stray from the rightful path These
days of hope do believe in working for the greater
good and are spreading awareness and showing the
society that peer pressure is deleterious sort individual
growth and well being

ldquoFreedom of Press in Democracyrdquo
- Poorvi Sanu IX-G
A free press and a free judiciary are two very important
cornerstones of a democracy Especially in the modern
era of widely accessible news and innumerable infor-
mation at our fingertips freedom of press is highly valued
liberty that citizens should be aware of and know the rea-
son why it is given to us as Indians Freedom means those
people who state the liberty or right and privileged to
speak according to their will
Freedom is that opportunity which we should never avoid
and in all bad situations it gives us all right to handle the
problems in our own innovative and thoughtful way Press
and media are the vital way to express and speech some
views and opinions in a democratic country It is the me-
dium of expressing an opinion of the people It justifies
the individual right to speech and expression a coveted
right enshrined in the Indian constitution and the law of
other countries on the globe
The importance of freedom of press lies in the fact that
for most citizens the prospect of personal familiarity with
newsworthy events is unrealistic In seeking out news the
media therefore acts for the public in large it is the means
by which people receive free flow of information and ide-
as which is essential to intelligence self-governance that
is in turn democracy For a proper functioning of democ-
racy it is essential that
citizens are informed
about news from vari-
ous parts of the coun-
try and even abroad because only then can they form ra-
tional opinions A citizen surely cannot be expected per-
sonally to gather news to enable him or her to form such
opinions Hence the media plays an important role in a
democracy and serves as an agency of the people to gath-
er news for them
It is for this reason that freedom of press has been empha-
sised in all democratic countries while it was not permit-
ted in feudal or totalitarian regimes
In India the media have a great responsibility also to see
that the news they present is accurate and serve the inter-
est of the people If the media convey false news that may
harm the reputation of a person or a section of society it
may do a great damage since reputation is a valuable asset
for a person
Even if the media subsequently correct a statement the
damage done may be irreparable Hence the media should
take care to carefully investigate any news item before
carefully reporting it
I know of a case were the photograph of a High Court
judge who was known to be upright was shown on a TV
New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 22
channel along with that of a known criminal The alle-
gation against the judge was that he had acquired the
land not in any discretionary quota but in the open
market at the market priceAlso sometimes the media
present twisted or distorted news that may contain an
element of truth but also an element of untruth This
too should be avoided because a half-truth can be
more dangerous than a total lie The media should
avoid giving any slant to news and avoid sensational-
ism and yellow journalism Only then will they gain
the respect of the people and fulfil their true role in a
democracySome newspapers espouse the cause of
only one community
ldquoThey do not judge problems on their merits They
view problems from a communal angle Such newspa-
pers do disservice to the nation On the other hand
some responsible newspapers exercise great restraint
while reporting news about riots between two commu-
nities They never give the identity of the community
which started the riot If there are any casualties they
do not give a community-wise break up lest this
should trigger off a bigger riot
In India most of the newspapers are controlled by
business magnates Such newspapers therefore pro-
mote the interest of the capitalists by given tainted
news They pay no heed even to the genuine prob-
lems of the worker^ farmers artisans and other
weaker sections of the people
The press is the defender and the protector of the
rights and liberties of the people But it can per-
form this role only if it enjoys freedom in publish-
ing news views and reporting It can function ef-
fectively only in an open society where decisions are
made in a democratic manner The press should not be
scared of influential people The press should consider
it their duty to protect the right of the workers and oth-
er downtrodden sections of the people
While the press should enjoy freedom to perform its
role effectively it should not treat such freedom as a
licence to defame anybody It should not publish any
views or support any movement which violates our
Constitution or is against the territorial integrity and
unity of the country
To the conclusion As the worldrsquos largest democracy
India has a duty to ensure that the press has the duty to
disseminate information and express opinions without
excessive censorship Unfortunately in recent years
the right has been increasingly curbed This oppres-
sion of press is an alarming trend as it does not allow
for proper checks and balances on the government and
its activities The people of our country need to re-
member that in order to have a strong democracy they
need a strong and free press

Our Future Earth
- Hiya Purswani VIII B
We all know the present condition of our environment
around us Inspite of advanced and modern technolo-
gy we humans are still not able to find a solution
Early humans neither they had much technology nor
they had enough intelligence but still in the early ages
the environment was clean making it the reason for
the increasing life span of humans Its a shocking
news to know that the amount of plastic bottles pro-
duced now may lead to increase in plastic pollution
and cause several death
Its a great opportunity to be as a human in this beauti-
ful earth and so itrsquos our responsibility to make it
clean In monsoon people cut down trees to prevent
accidents to occur but do we plant trees in summer to
prevent more global warming We can prevent bad
things to happen but not cannot take that much efforts
for good things to spread Have you ever wondered
while seeing a tap open how many taps are left open
at the same time in the whole world It might sound
unbelievable there can be a World War III on water
land and fresh air The way we are thinking about the
wastage of water may lead us to a massive pain I trsquos
truly said by Warren Buffet sometimes to buy things
we need we have to sell things we do not need This
happens in the case of lacking of intelligence We say
every scholar is a true genius but in my opinion a per-
son is genius if he has the ability to save and change
things in his own way We all have the ability to save
this earth but our thoughts our ego and our greedi-
ness is stopping us to think in a better way rdquoEveryone
has a good and a bad side in his life What matters is
the part we choose to act upon rdquoThis is an excellent
thought said by Sirius Black in the movie Harry Pot-
ter Itrsquos time to bring a change
We always have time to do good things all we need is
hope Spreading awareness is the best idea to bring a
change If everyone stops thinking about their eco-
nomical needs and start contributing towards the envi-
ronment by planting more trees certainly there will be
a beneficial change in this world Neither do we think
about the future nor care about the present Why not
be an optimist and think in a positive way of life Our
studies our needs our knowledge will not help us in
any way if we donrsquot change Its not that easy to plant a
tree and care for it a whole year but if we only plant it
with all our love nature is certainly going to care for
it Lastly I would like to end with a quote Come
forth in the light of things nature will be your teach-
er
Endeavor
- Heet Shripal Kankariya VII-G
It is hard to recall the past
but good thoughts are forever
Remember the step you took
May it be stupid or clever
Though the time runs out
your hope should never
Dont lose ittry and endeavor
Do your best even if the conse-
quences make your work the worst
Try and try and make your work better
It is hard to recall the past
but good thoughts are forever
Remember the step you took maybe stupid or clever

The Aloof Humans - A curse to mother
earth - Vaijayanthimala Navneet VIII-J
With all the night strength and gust
Preserving nature is must
Mother Nature has been so lucrative
Letrsquos do something to save her
Something new and creativersquo
Let us get pollution under control
Before mother Earth weeps and implores
Let clean air sweep
Both high and deep
Let the tiny piece of land
Be clean tidy and neat
Let uncontaminated water be
So that everything doesnrsquot
end like the sea
Let the tree stand
lsquoCause it is more alluring than the seven colour band
Without being loquacious
Mother nature is indeed precious
The Little girl
- Bhumika Sharma VI-F
I found in a garage
Near the carriage
A tiny little baby girl
She had cute blue eyes
Which were very small in size
And had beautiful hair with a cute little curl
I wonder why she was there
And she came fromhellipwhere
I then asked a person passing on the road
If he knew the merciless who
kept her near the horses and
toads
The person replied ldquoWho cares
O Madamhellip
hellipFor a girl who is denied by her
dad and mum
I felt very sad and cried
But I saved her lest she died
Who will save many such girls
Imagine a world without these pearls
Treat them with respect and love
The Little Guest - Ashwathy Ganesh VI ndashD
It was rainy season
At home came a pigeon
It made its nest and was a pest
But there came another guest
Who shooed away the little pest
First there was nothing but a basket of twigs
And I watched it eating figs
When the thunder came with the rain
I got a bit scared
But it didnrsquot fly away
Because I took care
Soon there were three small
eggs
Which were taken care of by the guest
The bird is easy to guess
Because it doesnrsquot make a mess
With its red tail
It looked a bit frail
Between the plants green full full
Was the nest of the little Bulbul

The Art of Dharma as per Mahabharata
- Abhishek Singh [Teacher SrSecondary]
Dharma means the Duty or RighteousnessDharma is
subtle many times we are forced to take wrong
means for right means(and ends us like Arjuna in hell)
or reaches wrong ends following right means(like
Yudhishthira in exile)Its like the Ying and Yang
Duryodhanarsquos envy for the Pandvarsquos Indraprastha and
Yudhishthirarsquos greed or addiction to a game of dice
and win more territory was the main cause of war
The envy can result in healthy competitiveness raising
oneself up by making the envious work harder for
rivalrsquos possessions or eternal sickness to pull the rival
downThe envy and greed are both presents even in
the
modern day world the failure
of communism was caused by
envy among citizens while the
capitalist system is stranded by greed The aim of so-
ciety should not be to suppress these feelings among
its citizens but to channelize them productively Envy
is the vice of socialism Greed is the evil of capital-
ism
Dharma is not justice Its difference between Retribu-
tive Justice and forgiveness While a nation with
stronger legal laws can prefer justice over peace the
newly created or war-torn nations with weaker legal
laws should prefer to restore peace and harmony in
society rather than emphasizing justice
Beware You are in for a scare
- Ayush Lonakadi IX-C
I had returned home late but after reaching home I had
wished I had not reached home that day There was no
electricity which just made it creepier When I
reached my room my exhaustion made me forget that
I was famished I lay on the bed scrolling down pic-
tures I had recently clicked I relived happy moments
but someone out there wasnrsquot happy to see me happy
and I noticed a photograph in my phone which be-
mused me ndash not mentioning how frightened I had be-
come
The picture waswashow can I explain The back-
ground was of my house In the photoI was
sleeping Butbut how could that have been possi-
ble I lived alone there was no one to click my photo
while I was sleeping I was petrified with my eyes
wide open and my whole body was horror-struck
Then all the unwanted noises came into focus ndash the
noises from outside noises of something creaking and
the wind forcefully blowing through the thin slit of the
window eerily
I was panic-stricken I
quickly switched my
phone off and kept it on
the table beside and did
not bother about changing my clothes and covered my
face with a blanket and hugged it tightly I could not
even think of sleeping Every second the clock ticked
I hugged the blanket harder My face and chest were
drenched in sweat I felt some supernatural move-
ments around me something trying to reach out to
me
By then I was praying to God to take me away from
that place I was ready to die Then something hap-
pened and I became frantic from tip to toe lsquoIt is Tues-
day todayrsquo The virtual assistant of my phone said but
I clearly remembered that I had switched off my
phone Who asked the question It was this trauma
that I couldnrsquot bear and today I am here telling you
this story after turning into a roaming soul Look to
your right I am right beside you

Travelling Aaryan Aggarwal IX - B
Travelling is an experience It doesnrsquot matter where
you travel Every place is great in its own ways You
could go to a culturally rich yet underdeveloped place
or you could go to an advanced metropolitan place
You could travel slow paced or you could be adven-
turous and go off the beaten path You could go to the
beach you could go to a museum It wonrsquot matter as
wherever you go you will always get a new and
different experience The experiences will open your
mind to a whole new world and culture which will
change your understanding and preconceived notions
about that place You will also get an opportunity to
detoxify yourself from social media Thus I believe
that travelling is more than just a hobby and can
change your entire thought process and state of
mind
Wallflower
- Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
She lived under a rock
More by force than by will
She lived there so long
She had nothing to fight with
All these people pushing her down
Her feeble frame could fight no long
She vowed to never stop the struggle
Until she had on her temples the crown
Declaring to the world her change
after years bygone
From being the young shy girl they saw
But all this struggle slowly had her crumbling
As she withered her dreams fading
Cause promises are sometimes left undone
When fate decides to yield a gun
And the world never saw the light
Of a wallflower wishing to shine so bright
Being Myself -Nidhi Mishra VIII-G
I did never lie to myself
Never strived to be someone else
And so I never shy
To look myself straight in the eye
I did never hide myself
And lavish a priceless gift
Having lsquolifersquo as its spell
Being myself Irsquoll uplift
Life is too short
Donrsquot be someone else
A onetime offer we have got
Even more precious than a thousand jewels

Women Empowerment - Devangi Dongre VII-B
The abilities of women in making decisions educa-
tion and profession have been largely suppressed
since ages considering them inferior to men The sit-
uation is worst in underdeveloped and developing na-
tions where women in a family are not allowed to
take financial decisions or decide on matters regard-
ing their own educationWith such state of affairs it
would be a fallacy to dream about the goals of sus-
tainable development and gender equality There is an
instant need to take measures to lift the social
personal and professional
status of women bringing
them shoulder to shoulder
with men These particular
measures constitute a pro-
cess which is known as ldquoWomen Empowermentrdquo
Providing better education and employment opportu-
nities to women ensuring their better health provid-
ing justice and ensuring professional equivalence are
the few methods of women empowerment

- Aaryan Aggarwal IX-B
He looked from afar at his towering creation A re-
mote island in the Pacific Ocean seemed like a great
refuge after what had been happening on the Earth
He chose secrecy as his mission had raised many eye-
brows The plan was simple lsquoEscape and start overrsquo
Right now Moon seemed to be the most viable option
in terms of survival The research had been done
Moon was habitable So close to our abode our cos-
mic neighbor the Moon must exist for a reason It-
will not just be a secondary habitat but also be a step-
ping stone for further progress
His meticulously crafted plan was now just minutes
away from execution A team of four explorers would
first leave Earth and explore the Moon to test his hy-
pothesis Once a temporary col-
ony using genetically engi-
neered pods containing human
embryos is set up they would
further analyze the surroundings and find ways to
make it more habitable The lesser gravitational pull
which allowed for a comparatively lower escape ve-
locity made it easier to transport resources from the
Earth or the ISS Sure it would be difficult at first
Earth is unmatched but he knew it was for the greater
good of mankind It would mean more opportunities
and help us understand our place in this universe
Right now we have confined ourselves in a box and
this is the only way to leave it and unleash the won-
ders of the universe In front of his eyes it flew never
to come back

Television Pros and Cons
- Soumya Sheth
What do most of the people do these days to entertain
themselvesEveryone likes to switch ON their televi-
sion sets which is one of the exceptional inventions of
science When our Dads come home tired after office
the first thing they would like to do is switch On the
TV and relax while watching it from his sofa seat
This is because while watching different things that
are broadcasted on TV we forget our worries and re-
grets of the day
However like every good and popular inventions tel-
evision also has its set of some worrying habits that
people get hitched to For example sometimes kids
watch it for extensive time thereby affecting their
studies This is one of the most worrying habit for par-
ents and we should know that ignoring studies is not
good for our future and studying is as much important
for us at this tender age more than anything elseItrsquos
true that television can bring us the knowledge from
across the world We can see different parts of the
world virtually sitting at the same place But we
should know how
we can use this
incredible inven-
tion of science in
the right and bene-
ficial way for us Now-a-days Smart TVs have be-
come even more popular We can even use internet on
those TVs Use Google to search for answers we donrsquot
know use YouTube to understand how things are
made or get our doubts cleared and much much more
To summarize it I would like to urge all my fellow
students to use this precious invention of science in a
way that will benefit you to gain constructive
knowledge and avoid destructive knowledge We
should know that television is not the world but only a
small component of this world Please know that there
are other things in life which we should enjoy too
along with giving utmost importance to our studies

The night before the final examination
-Marisha Nath VIII- C
The night before the final examination appears to all
examinees as the night before the Battle of Waterloo
might have appeared to Napoleon or the Duke of Wel-
lington Our system of education being what it is we
examinees are bound to be anxious about the nature of
the nature of the questions we will have to answer
next day Even an earnest student who has done all
that needs be done by way of nervousness uncertainty
and suspense on the night before the examination The
morning of the examination finds them prostate with
nervous disorder
But this is one side the picture There are students
who may be described as soldiers of fortune They are
daredevil youngsters who do not take their examina-
tions seriously But their lack of preparation is more
than made up for by the short cuts or bazar notes they
have provided themselves with Even on the night
before the examina-
tion they would be
going about their
daily rounds They
may be found in the parks cafes and restaurants talk-
ing about tips ndashtalking glibly and confidently about
what questions are sure to come The morning of the
examination finds them as cheerful as they were on
the night before
What is needed most is self-confidence and a cool
head True we do not remember all that we have read
when we go to the Examination Hall This does not
mean that we have forgotten them Many things re-
main in the sub ndashconscious region They jump into
consciousness when we face the questions and seri-
ously think of the answers Often such answers score
more marks than prepared ones

Colourful wrapper shiny and bright
Which one to choose which would be right
Houses made of chocolates and doors made of bars
And out stood there a chocolate car
Soon after it was 6 oclock
And could hear the doorrsquos knock
I woke up in a hurry
Just to realise that it was a dream

The ant and the elephant
- SOUMEN RAO IV-E
Once upon a time in a forest there lived an ant and an
elephant The elephant was the biggest among all the
elephants So he was very proud of himself and used
to criticize everyone and the ant which was the tiniest
among them was very happy and cheerful It used to
help everyone I its own way
All the animals in the forest used to complain about
the egoistic elephant So one day when the ant saw the
elephant walking towards it it immediately thought of
a plan As soon as the elephant came near the ant
said ldquoHello My friendrdquo but the elephant replied rude-
ly saying ldquoYou tiny
ant Get off my way
otherwise yoursquoll get
crushed to deathrdquo
Hearing this ant
challenged the elephant sayingrdquo My big friend I can
make you cryrdquo The ant quickly climbed onto the trunk
of the elephant and ran towards its earit went inside
the ear and started biting the elephants ear The ele-
phant tried to flap its ears but in vain After a few
minutes tears started rolling down its eyes It cried
ldquoPlease come out of my ear I canrsquot bear the painrdquo As
soon as the ant came out the elephant apologized for
its mistake and didnrsquot tease any animals from that day
Grandparents

when we are shouted
With generosity and be-
nevolence they are bounded
Be sure to always meet your grandparents once in a
while and enhance yourself by their presence

Water Conservation
- Paarth Bhagat VII-J
Water is life If there was no water there would be no
life Hence water is the precious gift of God to mother
Earth We cannot imagine our lives without water
We human beings are made up of water it is the only
transportation medium that carries the food molecules
and oxygen to the cells of every body parts to help the
blood It signifies that water is the most essential in-
gredient to the functioning of life of every organism
So you see living this wonderful life is impossible
without water
Water is the force behind all the industry agriculture
manufacturing and trade and commerce All forms of
energy generation is done using water Be it hydroe-
lectrically projects or thermal power plant or nuclear
power plant water is
the key ingredient in
all of them There
would be no power
without water No
water no life
So it is our responsibility to conserve this life nectar
It is possible only through by changing our outlook
towards this wonderful natural resource We must en-
sure there is no pollution of water bodies by dumping
any waste such as sewage effluents and other toxic
substances We must also ensure there is no emission
of green-house gases into the atmosphere The people
and the government must ensure installation of efflu-
ents and smoke treatment plants at industrial garbage

The kind Fairies -Aditys Patil VIII-E
This story starts with two beautiful babies in a king-
dom called fairyland The babies were very pretty
Their names were Ovi and Riddhi They were growing
pretty well As they grew they became more and
more pretty Over and over they were also fairies and
within 5 years they became young girls Their mother
told them to go to school The girls askedwhere are
the schools There are no schools here Mother said
dont worry you will go to the planet Earth On the
planet Earth there is a very good school named New
Horizon Public School and the short form is nhps We
said ok On the first day of our school we were very
afraid but after a few days we
became more smart than the
others We were getting a lot of
prizes which we shared with
eveyone in the school This
made us and others happy One day We became the
princess of fairyland Our wings were like a rainbow
We were twins and had very long hairs Now I end
my story with a beautiful quote
ALWAYS HELP EACH OTHER LIKE THE
FARIES BECAUSE HELPING PEOPLE IS THE
PATH TO GOD
The Day Irsquoll Never Forget - Saranya Sarangi VII -
It was a day of love and affection
There was no visible sign of caution
But something unfortunate was going to happen
Nobody knew where and when
There was a blast at half past three
In a beauty land called Paradise On Earth
A complete silence and pity hadnrsquot the thee
Perished laid the martyrs
Whom our motherland gave birth
I still remember that scaring sight
The scattered limbs I couldnrsquot see
My heart got filled with grief and fright
No Indian could glee
Terribly writhing the soldiers were seen
Some families languished and some
were crying
So loyal to their country they had been
None of their families were mollifying
Whatever homage to our martyrs we pay
Tiny before their they lay
Salute to their tribute to motherland
To protect us they always walked hand in hand
Little Birdie - Marisha Nath VIII-C
I am a little birdie in the sky
With two wings to fly
I never disturb you
I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom
O human Then why do you steal my FREEDOM
Binding me alone in the cage makes me sad
Donrsquot you know caging a bird is bad
Looking at the sky
I wish I could fly
I never disturb you
I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom
O human Then why do you steal my
FREEDOM

Summers in India - Saranya Sarangi VIII
A hot season beginning from April till May is what we
call summer And thatrsquos the basic rule in India But
thatrsquos not something through which we can define
summers in our country India The sun shining high
above the head increasing the heat and this scorching
heat is something very unique about summers in India
Those ice-lolly stalls roaming down the streets tin-
kling their tiny bells is something special one will nev-
er find in any other country Many people love this
season
Especially the children as they get to eat ice-creams
Many people even donrsquot As they feel that this season
can only make a person dehydrated exhausted and irri-
tated Summer as we think as an unfruitful season is
contrast in reality Schools conduct summer camps
during vacation where stu-
dents can join different aca-
demic and co-curricular
courses to improve them-
selves Many children even spend time with their fami-
lies
Often families plan trips to different places as they get
a very long vacation during this season But now-a-
days due to increasing heat these pleasant summers
are becoming unbearable Every just sweat and sweat
We get a lethargic feeling not ready to do any work
Due to this heat we continually keep the ACs on which
consume a lot of electricity creating trouble for our
mother Earth and us Gradually that charm of the
unique kind of summers will be lost if precautions are
not taken We must really hope and work hard to bring
back our lovely lsquoSummers in Indiarsquo
Exams are good or bad
- Nupoor Teli VIIIndashI
In my humble opinionexams are apressure on the stu-
dents They are forced to study and score good
markswhich can lead to frustration An environmentof
competitivenessof standing first is created for which
students keep on studying day and night without any
recreation It is good to studybut not just for the sake
of gaining marks
Why do we study What is the main intention behind
education Seeking intersresting and fascinating
knowledge as well as facts about the world But now-a
-daysthe main reason for studying is gaining marks If
there are no marksno career andno success This is the
mindset of 70 people of the worldespecially parents
They pressurize their children so much that they get
depressed or sometimes attempt suicide as well
Every two months an exam is conducted Moreo-
verthere are projectssubject-enrichment activi-
tieschapter test sfter every topicnotebookfile submis
sion etcAnd as acherry on top
of the cakewe have the semes-
ter exams of eighty marks as
well What all will the students
do And even if any extra-
curricular activities are being learntthen more extra
studies Just studystudy and study
Why so much of tension on the children Under this
tension only they start cheating As time passes cheat-
ing becomes a habit of their life
I fell that exams should be conducted once a term in
order to evaluate whether the students are clear with
the concepts or notThey shouldnt be pressurized for
their marksbut should be made understand their mis-
takes Let them choose their own career options on
their own Help them knowwhat they like to study and
what they want to do in their life So dont pressurize
students for what they dont likeand encourage them in
what they do After allthey are only the Rising stars of
the country

Life is magical - Piyush Sahoo VII-H
A new day or a new night
Everything in life seems bright
A new morning or a new evening
Life is full of happening
A life is just like a kite
It may disappear in a sight
Life moves from baby to old
Make your life challenging and bold
Enjoy life the fullest
Never accept less than best
Unlikely life comes to an end
But remember never to bend
Happy sadness victory and loss
Accept it the way it comes
Life can be at times tragical
But make it the most beautiful
Life is magicalhellip
Life is so magicalhellip
Humility -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
Humility is having a heart to treat others with respect
and love Considering people worthy of your love
time and efforts regardless of who they are or what
they have done A person is truly humble when they
are willing to work hard for others expecting nothing
in return
Humility has the power to change a personrsquos perspec-
tive towards life It can make a difference in the way a
person is looked upon by others Doing an act of hum-
bleness can make a personrsquos day Humility is about
not having an ego or considering things below your
dignity or considering yourself greater than others
People often confuse humility with self-respect They
canrsquot make out the difference between being useful to
others and being used by others
It takes courage to be humble
because in the era in which we
live humility is looked upon as
weakness People assume yoursquore not strong enough to
stand up for yourself They think you surrender in-
stead of protesting They will despise and scorn you
but they donrsquot know that you take pleasure in what
you do because they havenrsquot experienced that kind of
joy
So if you do have humility donrsquot draw back from it
because of what others think Whatever you are doing
is for the good of others and you have no need to be
ashamed of that Humbleness will spread from person
to person Who knows maybe your one act of humili-
ty will spread on to help a person in need So be brave
be humble
Mom -Tanvi Sawant VII-C
Oh mom I came to this beautiful world just because
of youhellip
Mom what would I do without you
Oh mom there are thorns on the way
But you manage to get me awayhellip
Oh mom I canrsquot say how much yoursquore to me
Mom just promise me that yoursquoll and
always be with mehellip
Oh mom this world is incomplete
without you
Just like the sky without itrsquos bright color bluehellip
Oh mom yoursquore the candle that showed the way in the
dark
My dear mom you made my life spark

OUR FUTURE EARTH - Hiya Purswani VIII-B
We all know the present condition of our environment
around us Inspite of advanced and modern technolo-
gy we humans are still not able to find a solution
Early humans neither they had much technology nor
they had enough intelligence but still in the early ages
the environment was clean making it the reason for
the increasing life span of humans Its a shocking
news to know that the amount of plastic bottles pro-
duced now may lead to increase in plastic pollution
and cause several death Its a great opportunity to be
as a human in this beautiful earth and so its our re-
sponsibility to make it clean In monsoon people cut
down trees to prevent accidents to occur but do we
plant trees in summer to prevent more global warm-
ing We can prevent bad things to happen but not can-
not take that much effort for good things to spread
Have you ever wondered while seeing a tap open how
many taps are left open at the same time in the whole
world It might sound unbelievable there can be a
World War III on water land and fresh air The way
we are thinking about the wastage of water may lead
us to a massive pain Itrsquos truly said by Warren Buffet
sometimes to buy things we need we have to sell
things we do not need This happens in the case of
lacking of intelligence We say every scholar is a true
genius but in my
opinion a person is
genius if he has the
ability to save and
change things in his
own way We all have the ability to save this earth
but our thoughts our ego and our greediness is stop-
ping us to think in a better way Everyone has a good
and a bad side in his life What matters is the part we
choose to act upon This is an excellent thought said
by Sirius Black in the movie Harry Potter Itrsquos time to
bring a change We always have time to do good
things all we need is hope Spreading awareness is the
best idea to bring a change If everyone stops thinking
about their economical needs and start contributing
towards the environment by planting more trees cer-
tainly there will be a beneficial change in this world
Neither do we think about the future nor care about
the present Why not be an optimist and think in a
positive way of life Our studies our needs our
knowledge will not help us in any way if we donʼt
change Its not that easy to plant a tree and care for it a
whole year if we only plant it with all our love nature
is certainly going to care for it Lastly I would like to
end with a quoterdquo Come forth in the light of things
nature will be your teacher
The Small Hours Pranjal Anil Chavan V-C
No more my little song Come back
And now of nights I lay my head on down
to watch the black
And wait the unfailing gray
Oh Sad are winter nights and slow
And sad is a song thatrsquos dumb
And sad it is to lie I know
Another dawn will come

Floods and Destruction
- Nirvi Soni IV-H
India faces occurrence of floods each year in some
parts of Assam during the rainy season Water of river
Brahmaputra rises and enters into many villages
causing great destruction Floods are unavoidable but
we need to take precautions in the following ways by
reducing mining activities building dams growing
more trees etc During floods the weather becomes
wet and gloomy Trees and plants get uprooted This
way floods cause great de-
struction to both life and
property It also becomes dif-
ficult to travel from place to
place Many people are left
homeless The rain water should be harvested and
stored in large storage tanks The harvested rainwater
can be used for washing clothes and cleaning By us-
ing rain water in our daily life we can preserve water
resources
Good Morning Everyone -Vyomi ThakkarVI - H
Come with me wersquoll have some fun
Wersquoll go on a walk
Donrsquot worry will have a great talk
Roaming around the ground
With beautiful birdrsquos sound
We donrsquot know if anything will be found
Wersquoll surely find the crown
Up on the chilled mountain
We saw a beautiful fountain
Surrounded by a beautiful castle
Decorated with the colourful tassel
Just be quiet and keen
Soon you will be the queen
Think before you speak
-Shravya Atreya IX-D
Think before you speak
There are hearts you must please
Think before you speak
You canrsquot undo the harm done after you squeak
Think before you speak
You might have done greater harm than you might
think
Think before you speak
There are still places left for you
to seek
Think before you speak
There is a long way to go before
you sleep
Think before you speak
There are hearts you must
please
Sunrise -Anuradha Singh VII-H

Everything is fine

GLOBAL WARMING - Adhyant Singh VII-F
Global warming refers to the steady rise in the Earthrsquos mean temperature The effect of global
warming had come into sight when polar ice caps started melting this phenomena is called ICE ndash
ALBEDO the ice caps melt faster due to the rise in the temperature This sudden rise in the temperature near
the poles began in 1999 The polar ice caps in Antarctica melt at the rate of 400000000000 tons per year ac-
cording to some scientists it would approximately take 5000 years to melt the total ice on earth In 2013 Inter-
governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) stated that the main cause of Global warming is human inter-
vention like emission of Green house gases like Carbon-Di-Oxide nitrous oxide and methane
These gases trap the heat which is reflected by the Earthrsquos surface thus increasing the temperature and also
destroying the ozone layer which prevents the ultraviolet rays of the sun from reaching the earthrsquos surface Al-
so burning fossil fuel contributes to the problem Effects of global warming have also led to the increase in the
sea level and extreme weather like heat waves and change in the regional pattern of precipitation and the ex-
pansion of desserts A concentrated and focused effort by the entire humanity can curb down the impact of
Global warming and also prevent it Planting more trees to control the amount of carbon-di-oxide eliminating
the use of chlorofluorocarbon or (CFCrsquoS) are a few steps All the countries have signed up with the United Na-
tions Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to prevent the doomsday of Earth So to prevent
earthrsquos doomsday we all must work together
Itrsquos not too late there is still timehellipBefore the earth ends and we whinehellipSo keep on marching and planting
greens To end Global Warming and Make our planet greenhellip

The Night - Matangi Rajesh VII-D
Its the night
The moon is white
When we switch off the light
What a beautiful sight
After this comes the sun bright
There is no more artificial light
This is the time to start your diet
To go for a run wearing tights
Then comes the evening when
you have snacks light
And fly a big colorful kite
or include your sibling in a pillow fight
Again comes the night
A moon which is white
We switch off the light
A beautiful sight

Launch of ISROrsquos Fat Boyrsquo
31 satellites in a single flight
Sending another communication satellite in the space
In 2009 Indians maiden mission to the moon Chandrayaan- 1 brought back the first clinching evidence of the
presence of water on the arched lunar surface In more down to the Earth missions Indian satellites are also
helping locate underground water aquifers for some of the poorest and marginal people of India In a way
Indiarsquos space technology is helping everyone

Hyperloop -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
Human inventions have baffled the world They are
innumerable ranging from revolutionizing
smartphones to not-so-breathtaking ice cream cones
but they play a role in our life just the same The
things which are commonplace to us now were unbe-
knownst to people once upon a time For the people of
the 19th century the car was a thing of the future until
in 1885 Karl Benz ran his first car on the road Then
for centuries people took the prospect of of flying like
the birds as only a wild possibility which was made
possible in 1903 when the Wright Brothers flew the
first plane
What is the thing of the future for us Well we are the
future modifying and bettering the things that have
been made and crating stuff that we didnt even dare
to imagine about The Hyperloop fulfills both aspects
of the definition a very advanced model of our faith-
ful train and yet a brand new idea to scale greater
heights The Hyperloop is an ideal mode of efficient
transport Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane
with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing
speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt have to
ace the two types of friction that every other vehicle
has to face Air resistance and ground friction The
pods of the Hyperloop are propelled through a depres-
surized tub Since it is almost vacuum very little air
resistance can be offered inside the tube Due to this
the energy required to travel is also very less The Hy-
perloops unique technology uses magnetic levitation
to guide and lift the pods of the rail Since the pod is
not in contact with the ground there is no friction act-
ing on itThe first Hyperloop ndash virgin Hyperloop one
is set to run with passengers as early as 2021 and is
created by SpaceX and Tesla
The mastermind behind the Hyperloop is Elon Musk
who first published a 58 page white-paper on the web-
site of his company-Space X It was available to all
and was titled Hyperloop alpha The Hyperloop may
be the pioneer of a whole new era of transportation
traveling a distance which would otherwise take 12
hours in just I hour it has crossed all known bounda-
ries and created higher limits for us to reach and reach
we must for when time is money and money is time
an option that saves both needs to be used
Exams are good or bad -Nupoor Teli VIII
In my humble opinion exams are pressure on the stu-
dents They are forced to study and score good marks
which can lead to frustration An environment of com-
petitiveness of standing first is created for which stu-
dents keep on studying day and night without any rec-
reation It is good to study but not just for the sake of
gaining marks
Why do we study What is the main intention behind
education Seeking interesting and fascinating
knowledge as well as facts about the world But now-a
-days the main reason for studying is gaining marks
If there are no marks no career and no success This
is the mindset of 70 people of the world especially
parents They pressurize their children so much that
they get depressed or sometimes attempt suicide as
wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-
ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities
chapter test after every topic notebookfile submis-
sion etc And as cherry on top of the cake we have the
semester exams of eighty marks as well What all will
the students do And even if any extra-curricular ac-
tivities are being learnt then more extra studies Just
study study and study
Why so much of tension on the children Under this
tension only they start cheating As time passes cheat-
ing becomes a habit of their lifeI fell that exams
should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate
whether the students are clear with the concepts or
not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but
should be made understand their mistakes Let them
choose their own career options on their own Help
them know what they like to study and what they want
to do in their life So dont pressurize students for
what they dont like and encourage them in what they
do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the
country

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B
Life is all about interactions You meet people and
you interact You observe them consciously or sub-
consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us
more than we even realise Some people leave a last-
ing impression on us and entirely change the course of
life for better or for worse Some people influence us
help us go further and make all the difference
I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-
tial people They have taken care of me ever since I
came into this world They are the ones who wish the
best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-
cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel
no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-
come a part of my personality They are the ones who
helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me
to be better
When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are
the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-
takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique
learning experience It has made me realise how eve-
rything they do has a reason They are the ones who
have taught me the importance of the little things in
life They are the ones who have helped me recognize
and follow my passion The very thought of them not
being a part of my life is scary to the least as without
them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am
today and whatever I have achieved is all because of
them and I am very grateful of that
Eyesight
-Aditi Shenoy VIII-F
The tired little girl went to bed
Recollecting the days bygone
Seeing them in her dreams
As the day she was born
Trying to see the world
With her little eyes
But the sun with his brightness
Wouldnt let her catch the sights
The girl still eager
And curious to see the world around her
Again opened her eyes
But her vision was blurred
Still she did not lose hope
Which flowed through her blood
Encouraging and pushing her
To see the world further
Her heart beating fast
Her enthusiasm increasing
She slowly tried to see
With her eyes continuously blinking
Starting to lose hope
She was ready to give up
But curiosity got the upper hand
And pushed her forward
With her hope again rising
and strength in her eyesight
She is finally seeing the world
With wide open eyes

Conquering the space

Chandrayan-2 Indiarsquos Moon Mission The dream of
entire India to land on moon and become the 4th Na-
tion in the world to put its flag on the soil of moon
after USSR USA amp China
ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launched
Chandrayan-2 on 22nd July 2019 from Bengaluru
(Satish Dhawan Space Center) under the command of
ISRO chief K Shivan It consists of ORBITER
LANDER amp Lunar Rover PRAGYAN Like Chandra-
yan-1(22nd Oct2008) it was Indiarsquos indigenous moon
mission
It touched the Moon Surface on Saturday early morn-
ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-
ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-
ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of
moon it lost contact with the ground station Because
of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be
monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m
(approx) away from its assigned location near
SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still
orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange
signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it
The ORBITER which will remain active for another
12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-
owed portion of the moon for the first time in history
with the help of its high-resolution camera
The entire Nation irrespective of their field of
knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front
of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of
VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true
Indians who always dream progress and development
of their motherland But our heart never accepts this
as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement
for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-
pose of our mission
But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at
this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring
country quoting this as a big failure on part of India
blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos
money on this
Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will
be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to
this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other
nations on such missions
Further I should say that India is not new in the field
of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-
TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975
It was named after famous scientist of ancient India
ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested
for the first time the HELIOCENTRIC THEORY
(Sun at the center and all planets revolve around the
Sun) of the Solar System much earlier than ready for
New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 57
COPERNICUS as believed in the western world
Other countries might have moon on their flags but
we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is
great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are
whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-
rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is
only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the
unknown and its continual application for the benefit
of the mankind)rdquo
Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by
various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-
PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-
cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958
onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as
46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was
attempted out of which only 21 was successful
Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-
tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the
overall attempts conducted by other Nations
USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-
NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was
planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January
SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR
successfully on moon
NASA after many attempts was successful to send
first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th
July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk
on moon
Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-
clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-
SION MANGAL for our next moon mission

From Principalrsquos Desk
The most important step we can take toward achiev-
ing our greatest potential in life is to learn to monitor
our attitude and its impact on our work performance
relationships and everyone around us
We all have a choice We can choose an inner dia-
logue of self-encouragement self-motivation or we
can choose one of self-defeat and self-pity Itrsquos a
power we all have
Our mind is a computer that can be programmed We
can choose whether the software installed is produc-
tive or unproductive
Our inner dialogue is the software that programs our
attitude which determines how we present ourselves
to the world around us We have control over the
programming Whatever we put into it is reflected in
what comes out
Many of us have behavior patterns today that were
programmed into our brains at a very tender age The
sad reality of life is that we continue to hear negative
information but we donrsquot have to program it into our
brains
The most influential voice we hear is our own inner
voice our selfcritic It can work for or against us de-
pending on the messages we allow
It can be optimistic or pessimistic It can wear us
down or cheer us on We control the sender and the
receiver but only if we consciously take responsibil-
ity for and control over our inner conversation
Habitual bad attitudes are often the product of past
experiences and events Common causes include low
self-esteem stress fear resentment anger and an ina-
bility to handle change
It takes serious work to examine the roots of a harm-
ful attitude but the rewards of ridding ourselves of this
heavy baggage can last a lifetime

al Team for their good work and support God bless you all

ldquoMicro changes in Life can bring Macro Transformationrdquo
Children should be taught to think We should help them to unfold their imaginations and give life to
their thoughts amp aspirations The Hands on Learning Activities done in class will unleash a wide
spectrum of creative skills This I believe is the strongest factor for success in raising his self esteem
amp the most overwhelming key to a childrsquos success is the attitude by parents by giving the space to the
child and not comparing them to others ldquoThe secret of getting ahead is getting startedrdquo So why not
give them a jumpstart from the grass root level itself
We are pleased to present to you our E-Magazine It is a milestone that marks our growth unfolds
childrenrsquo s imagination to foster a positive learning Environment Letrsquos give them a platform to
think express ampexhibit their skills

ldquo What you are is Godrsquos gift to you What you become is your gift to God ldquo
Language is one of Godrsquos greatest gift to humans given for the purpose of sharing ideas with others
Without leaving our chairs we can go to all parts of the world We mediate on the wonders of creation
But without the gift of language we would be limited in the ways we can share these ideas Words help
us let others know what we are feeling how much we care or how our hearts are filled with awe and
wonder and gratitude to God for all He has given us
Our School magazine is a mirror reflecting the creativity of young minds of the school I extend my
warm wishes to continue this journey on the road of excellence May God Bless us with wisdom

fest I wish them success for its timely release

A shadow side in me - Sunit Dighe VIII-C
Your life is in your hands How to solve your life with
ease Thats always a big question in a puzzled mind
Synchronizing the answer is always necessary Elabo-
ration the next first lets understand why you get a
human life hereditarily Until and unless you have
solved the Rubiks cube of your life with cases truly
hard then you are fulfill to get handout of the running
notes written by your mind for a total 70 years Thats
not a small value Its 70times12=etc
Now whats a shadow side of your life Its none other
than your emotions Answer to the shadow side of
your life in emotions is depression Not going beyond
and deeper in depression But those who dont know
what is depression -It is the state in which your mind
losses thinking will power and confidence for find-
ing no way in taking the right path for the solution
Depresion acts in making your life a
bit difficult Mind makes all unneces-
sary savages which have a result 0
See the matchmaking here the villain
depression has no hero to be defeated You yourself
are a hero but you sometimes fail to take control over
depression So here motivation plays a extravagant
role
How to solve your life with ease That was our ques-
tion in the start Life isnt easy but definitely you can
decide your life Have a success its good defeating
all sort of gratuitous emotions is better and thinking
optimistically is best Like with what the quote moti-
vatesldquoonly when you illuminate otherswithout ex-
pectation or rewardwill you truly understand how to
illuminate yourselfrdquo only remember dont let you sink
your mind sink and your foolish but previous life to
sink in the deep disarrayed water
The destiny in my hands - Aaryan Aggarwal IX-B
Destiny The word means the inevitable fate or some
events that will necessarily happen to some person in
the future It is however a notion and not a proven
fact as obviously no one can see the future People
believe that what destiny says is the ultimate truth and
absolutely nothing can change it However I beg to
differ as while it may be inevitable it will not neces-
sarily be completely unchangeable To give an exam-
ple a person born into a poor family may believe that
his destiny is poverty and nothing else
However with enough efforts and determination he
she may grow up to be very successful This has led
me to believe that destiny is not any actual power or
anything that can affect our future Rather it is a state
of mind that sometimes may lead to demotivation
This happens because success has never come without
failures In failures we tend to lose
positivity and start becoming nega-
tive and their mindset towards life all
-in-all becomes negative This is
where we begin to believe that this is what destiny had
in store for us and this is exactly what we are going to
get With this preconceived notion people often lose
interest or even give up entirely However since desti-
ny is a figment of a personrsquos mind it can be modified
as and when required
Thus believing in destiny and hoping that the hard-
ships that you have faced are all part of a bigger plan
will give you the motivation to do better and improve
Thus I believe that destiny while not being real to
some extent can change the course of a personrsquos life
Destiny is not unchangeable the power to do so lies in
your very hands

Savior of all Nikita V IXndash A
Our country is safe
Because of you
You protect our country today
And forever yoursquoll do
The tri-colour will glare
Because you are there
And the feelings of love with
Our country we share
Bravery in your fights
And surgical strikes
Salute to you and all
The almighty soldiers
I pledge my glory and

Self Confidence
Anirudh Shetti VI B
Self Confidence is an attitude that allows you to move
forward and achieve your goals Self confidence
means believing in yourself It is an ability that makes
the human believe in himself For example Tim was a
boy who had a stage fear One day he was selected for
the assembly as a reporter On the day of assembly
Tim was very scared to go on the stage Then he
thought about Self confidence Long ago his mother
said him that if a person has Self confidence he can
cross away all the difficulties in his life So at that
time Tim forgot all the fear and became a self confi-
dent boy
On assembly he reported beautifully and he was the
best reporter in the assembly There are some more
other positives like positive thinking concentration
good manners being kind etc Like Theodore Roose-
velt said ldquoEach time we face fear we gain strength
courage and confidence in the doingrdquo I will conclude
my article with this quote ldquoBelieve in yourself and
you will be unstoppablerdquo
Pencil
-Aadya Agarwal V
Once I was drawing with a pencil
But to draw proper shape I need a stencil
I was using a pencil to write a phrase
I wrote it wrong then the teacher said ldquoErase Eraserdquo
I lost my pencil
But it was with my friend Jencil
With that pencil I drew a triangle and a rectangle
But I was not able to find its angle
In English I had to complete punctuation marks
With help of that pencil James drew many sharks
In science there was a chemical blast
My teacher said ldquopencilrsquos life is very vastrdquo
Once more I lost my pencil
It was stuck in my hair
Once again i lost my pencil
But this time it was lost in a fair

Taras intelligence
- Pritika Manohar kadam VIII ndashD
Once upon a time there lived a couple near the town
They were just married and expected a child After a
year they had twins Both were charming Their
names were Yash and Tara
Tara was expected to do the household work and
Yash was to go to school and do a job Tara was an
very intelligent girl so she used to take her brothers
old books and study on her own
One fine day she asked her brother Why every time
I have to do the household work and not study like
you Her brother asked many people but got a com-
mon answer that girls are not meant to study
So both of them decided to ask their father He gave a
confusing answer that if Tara wants to go to school I
can help her to learn and write but which school will
give her admission I cant fight for one girl
She understood what he meant so Tara had an idea
about that She gathered her friends and told them the
importance of education
Next day she gathered them and
went to her father and said you
wont help one girl (me) so can
you help us to study Her father was impressed by her
intelligenceHe took them to the principal who was
his friend and requested him several times about the
admission of the girls
At last one day he agreed to take the admission of
those girls They started going to school everyday
The problem was all the people were frustrated They
used to throw garbage near their house and also say
abusing words Also stop the ways of the girls for
going to school
They also took the house of Tara and Yash They
used to live in a hut with those girls as well
The people used to throw stones on them The girls
did not lose their hopes and studied hard All those
after many years started working in office
The people were proud afterwards and they started a
girls school They gave back house of Yash and Tara
The ordeal to say a lsquogoodbyersquo
-Nidhi Mishra VIII-G
Together we laughed
Together we wept
Myriad fond impressions We kept
Jointly we danced like daisy
We didnrsquot bother about others
We chuckled like crazy
Concerning about the fussy was tempestuous
Together we were scintillating
We were engrossed in
Our cackles were uplifting
Something was sinister I remained keen
That gloominess was undesirable
Not you but our disunion was near
Our parting was lamentable
The distance between us was my fear
Our disunion was forthcoming
I wished I could quit it
Tears from our eyes were running
With those yet we had to split
Years had flown by
Not the echo
The ordeal to say a
lsquogoodbyersquo
And to lose a loyal oppo

My dream House
-Harshith Nair IX-B
Voila I have shifted to my new house
Away from those lizards and that cunning mouse
That was once a basic and simple house
Now canrsquot get over the whoaas and wowws
Ancient doors and artefacts with a palatial tinge
Enter and you would feel yoursquove got wings
Vintage artefacts and interiors add to the glam
quotient
A gramophone an antique
telephone that take you to an
era thatrsquos ancient
To me and my brotherrsquos surprise therersquos an excit-
ing bunk bed
Now who sleeps on the top therersquos gonna be a
bloodshed
I hate boasting but this onersquos the icing on the
cake
Let me tell you friends this was a dream all

Friendship
-Divya Johnson VIII ndash I
Friendship has no form
sometimes it makes us feel secure and warm
Sometimes leaves us cold and forlorn
and sometimes gives us the power to go on
We mistake it often for something materializing
but itrsquos free and artistic
It is hard to catch
no other virtue has its match
Indomitable Earth - Poorvi Sanu IX ndashG
Our global crisis has created a cure
No A treatment for what is in the store
New seasons simmer shorelines bore
Plastics not fake its sweet
Everlasting a love we adore
Are you sure
Intestinal hurdle artwork framed
Mammals fattened by unnatural floating
Wild material machine Unseen
Where does your waste ream
What can I do
It takes more than
one It takes society
Globally to do what
needs to be done
Our footprint is mas-
sive weighty
Join Mother Earth
On our journey here and abroad
Full of disbelief and open scorn
Itrsquos worth the attempt to help her adorn
To help her heal her sores prevent more welts

Travelling via train -Aditya Patil VIII-E
Travelling is a prominent and a fun-learning activity of
our life It introduces us to new people their culture
and enhances skills that are essential in our lives
Travelling gives a wonderful experience to the travel-
ers especially by train I am being so sight to write the
essay lsquocause guess what ldquoI AM TRAVELLING IN
THE BUMPY TRAINrdquo hearing the quarrels for seats
with the bumps of the train
Train to me is the most favourite mode of transport for
long journeys I am sure even others love travelling via
train inspite of the long journey and time But if its
with families or with bachelor friends therersquos no one
stopping them from being happy During travelling we
also get familiar to stops during the journey where
people get off and enter This introduces us to the cul-
ture of those regions
and thatrsquos what makes our
India famous and legend-
ary We also get to eat
those India-famous snacks
from all over India like lsquoShehgaon kachorirsquo lsquo Kol-
hapuri misalrsquo and I would stop here or else I know
your mouth is watering and you wanna eat this
This is what travelling is It increases our general
knowledge as we get across so many new things Trav-
elling by train is much more affordable than aero-
planes where we just have to sit and enjoy the luxury
Travelling will also introduce you to all kinds of peo-
ple like the innocent ones the fighters the caring ones
who surrender themselves for you and sometimes the
people you know So to enjoy these beautiful moments
of life travel once or twice a year to refresh your-
selves
Control Yourself - Suvan Lokhande IX-A
Controlling yourself is something great that you have
achieved in your whole life Controlling a particular
thing with which you get addicted is a big thing Dur-
ing puberty children get addicted to various bad things
such as food mobile TV or maybe food
ldquoControl Yourself Kidrdquo ldquoDone not more than
thisrdquo ldquoControlrdquo such types of sentences maybe
familiar to you which must be said by your mom dad
teachers and your elders But thatrsquos exactly true what
they say I know that itrsquos difficult to leave a particular
thing with which you get addicted But still if you
leave it certainly this can make an impact in your life
I mean to say that leave only bad things and not the
good things like reading or studying Believe it every-
thing is possible in this whole world If Neil Arm-
strong can go to moon then why cannot you leave your
bad habit Lets take an example a
boy who likes to eat a lot he may
like to eat Chinese Continental
Asian and whatever But you must
take care of your fitness too We can
eat whatever we want but in a limit
If you start practicing such good practices you can
surely be the one who has changed his whole life to a
certain life
And these changes can definitely make you proudAt
last my opinions may have some differences but eve-
ryday we get to learn something from our daily experi-
ences And I truly believe that if we make a decision
and start opting it in our daily life we can surely our-
selves make a change in our whole life At last I con-
vey that you need to control yourself and follow this
motto in your lifehelliphellipControl Yourself amp Be the
Change

The earth is full of surprises
Just look around yourself
It can be anywhere around you
Even somewhere in your bookshelf

It can be a human or thing or even a creature
We humans made strong big buildings
And thatrsquos what we think is great
But look deep in nature
You will find trees plants and Animals everywhere
Some may be mild And some may be wild

And still we use it for our greeds

Anger Management
- Sfurti Kumbhar IX-A
AngerhellipThe worst of emotions It causes a LOT of
problems Like damaged friendships separated fami-
lies to list a few The list is long But as many people
have tried and failed controlling anger can be impos-
sible at times when the little fuse in your brain blows
off Let us discuss controlling anger today
Basically anger management seems and sounds im-
possible But as it turns out it isnrsquot Itrsquos really simple
To be honest I am a cranky person Even the slightest
bit of annoying thing or the face of an irritating person
blows my fuse off So well yeah Irsquom trying to get it
under control Sort of
Impossible right Managing anger sounds easy You
can distract yourself from the situation Permanently
fix an imaginary meter in your brain which indicates
anger level My meter is always near 50-60 When I
say that Irsquom a cranky person you can see that I mean
it
As I was saying the meter Anytime you feel that the
meter is rising just find some ways to control it Like
the classic ldquodrink cool water to cool down your warm
headrdquo or breathe Listen to your fav music Or ask
yourself this simple question
ldquoIs getting angry at this person or screaming at them
going to improve my day in any way whatsoeverrdquo
If the answer is yes go ahead Scream all that you
want at the person and improve your day But if the
answer is no STOP yourself in time Maybe make
yourself an anger dice Or breathe in Out And may-
be the classic as mentioned above
Frankly these ways have helped me to reduce my
ldquofuse blowing offrdquo times since grade 4 Anger may be
one of the smartest issues but we are smarter
You are a masterpiece - Tisha Gangar VIII-A
There are songs in your eyes
Singing lullabies
The voice is so pretty

Right inside your heart
Painting pictures which create
memories
That are soothing just like a
breeze
You are a Masterpiece
With an end number of skills
Creativity is your strength
Keep safe till the end

Monsoon -Isha Bhanushali VIII
The most alluring part in monsoon season is the way
people tackle them Every where you scan people are
struggling back to reach their home back safely and it
indeed gives you a sense of achievement when you
reach home without getting drained by the gushing
water the automobiles blow on youWell my case is a
little bit different Every time I attempt not to step in-
side the puddle the next step will certainly be inside
it
It was raining heavily that day and unlike my usual
days it was a special one I got dispersed from my
classes by 600 and not aware about the conditions
outside I stepped outside expecting my van to pick
me up Suddenly there was gloomy all around and
there was silence everywhere (huh Because the light
went off) and to add insult to injury I got a call from
my Sir that the van will be com-
ing 1 hour late
I after a while made up my
mind I will set out and go on
my ownI took my umbrella and set out with my
friend The roads were all muddy and the water
reached up to my ankle The situation got testified as
it started raining heavily We all expected the rain to
stop after a while but it was adamant throwing its
tantrums on us All over the road there were vehicles
parked and there was no way to move
But not giving up we carried forward to reach our des-
tination After a long tiring journey of 1km (which
took us almost 1hr) we reached our home safely I had
a feeling of accomplishing a big feat that day
But the climax is here
I had to listen to my Moms scolding
Yes because I had stepped inside a big puddle
Soldier - Marisha Nath VIII-C

Man Woman and Equality Poorvi Sanu IX-G
Why are women considered inferior to men Why is
it so Even in the olden days gender inequality was
very common
Sati widows shravana shraddha managala gaur
akshaya tritiya child marriage karva chauthhellip
etcetera etcetera etceteraWhat do these words re-
mind you of Yep Thatrsquos right These are all systems
for women
These are sacrifices and systems that women perform
for their better halves So that their spouses have a
long and safe life But what do these spouses do in
return Discriminate these women Consider them
inferior I think that only about 15 of men give
equal opportunities and rights to women
This number is increasing no doubt but then this is a
slow processMen work approximately 6 ndash 8 hours a
day Women on the other hand work at least 16
hours a day Yet men get salary and women in some
cases donrsquot
To all the men and boys reading this I have a few
questions for youDo you have the guts to perform all
housework with 5 guests in the house Do you have
enough courage to change your sur-
name after marriage Do you have
the guts to leave your ancestral home
where you have lived for at least 23
years Are you ready to be dominated
by women More importantly are you ready to listen
to pungent words from your mother-in-law And of
course do you guys have courage to bear a child for 9
months and 9 days and give birth and nurture the ba-
by
Giving birth is simultaneous to fracturing 20 ndash 21
bones at once Did men know this And yet they con-
sider women weak They think that because wersquore
women we cannot thinkIf we cannot think who is
Marie Curie If we are weak who delivers kids
Women arenrsquot any different They are children of
gods They arenrsquot your personal secretaries they are
your partnersOnly a woman knows how much suffer-
ing women go through And yet women are discrimi-
nated daily
What women want is love and respect They work
hard for it they toil day and night and what they get
ishellipabsolutely nothing
Is this right
Submission to Peer Pressure -Akshat Mishra IX -G
ldquoHey Mohan When did you get this new iPhone-Xrdquo
we asked him in surprise as we knew the financial
condition of his family ldquoMy cousin gifted it to merdquo
quipped Mohan sheepishly All the boys resumed
playing but I knew there was something amissPeer
pressure is becoming increasingly inevitable amongst
teenagers One may argue that it is a part of human
nature It may be pivotal for a human being but its
darker side is certainly the more powerful one
People are easily succumbing to peer pressure without
realising its consequences Just to gain respect in
someonersquos eyes they are even ready to quarrel with
their parents and ward their attention from their nec-
essary activities A recent survey suggested that the
maximum people in a rave are a group of teenagers
The clutches of peer pressure are so strong that people
arenrsquot being able to listen even to their conscience
The youth mostly is just littering around the streets
smoking cigarettes boozing or becoming a victim to
social networks sites like Facebook or Instagram Hu-
man resource is the most valuable resource that we
have and the youth are supposed to replenish this re-
source not just to become egoists The are the future
of the planet but sadly they arenrsquot forging the path for
mankind that they are supposed to
Hopefully there is some resistance against this social
evil in modern days Such people have sworn to stay
adamant and not stray from the rightful path These
days of hope do believe in working for the greater
good and are spreading awareness and showing the
society that peer pressure is deleterious sort individual

ldquoFreedom of Press in Democracyrdquo
- Poorvi Sanu IX-G
A free press and a free judiciary are two very important
cornerstones of a democracy Especially in the modern
era of widely accessible news and innumerable infor-
mation at our fingertips freedom of press is highly valued
liberty that citizens should be aware of and know the rea-
son why it is given to us as Indians Freedom means those
people who state the liberty or right and privileged to
speak according to their will
Freedom is that opportunity which we should never avoid
and in all bad situations it gives us all right to handle the
problems in our own innovative and thoughtful way Press
and media are the vital way to express and speech some
views and opinions in a democratic country It is the me-
dium of expressing an opinion of the people It justifies
the individual right to speech and expression a coveted
right enshrined in the Indian constitution and the law of
other countries on the globe
The importance of freedom of press lies in the fact that
for most citizens the prospect of personal familiarity with
newsworthy events is unrealistic In seeking out news the
media therefore acts for the public in large it is the means
by which people receive free flow of information and ide-
as which is essential to intelligence self-governance that
is in turn democracy For a proper functioning of democ-
racy it is essential that
citizens are informed
about news from vari-
ous parts of the coun-
try and even abroad because only then can they form ra-
tional opinions A citizen surely cannot be expected per-
sonally to gather news to enable him or her to form such
opinions Hence the media plays an important role in a
democracy and serves as an agency of the people to gath-
er news for them
It is for this reason that freedom of press has been empha-
sised in all democratic countries while it was not permit-
ted in feudal or totalitarian regimes
In India the media have a great responsibility also to see
that the news they present is accurate and serve the inter-
est of the people If the media convey false news that may
harm the reputation of a person or a section of society it
may do a great damage since reputation is a valuable asset
for a person
Even if the media subsequently correct a statement the
damage done may be irreparable Hence the media should
take care to carefully investigate any news item before
carefully reporting it
I know of a case were the photograph of a High Court
judge who was known to be upright was shown on a TV
New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 22
channel along with that of a known criminal The alle-
gation against the judge was that he had acquired the
land not in any discretionary quota but in the open
market at the market priceAlso sometimes the media
present twisted or distorted news that may contain an
element of truth but also an element of untruth This
too should be avoided because a half-truth can be
more dangerous than a total lie The media should
avoid giving any slant to news and avoid sensational-
ism and yellow journalism Only then will they gain
the respect of the people and fulfil their true role in a
democracySome newspapers espouse the cause of
only one community
ldquoThey do not judge problems on their merits They
view problems from a communal angle Such newspa-
pers do disservice to the nation On the other hand
some responsible newspapers exercise great restraint
while reporting news about riots between two commu-
nities They never give the identity of the community
which started the riot If there are any casualties they
do not give a community-wise break up lest this
should trigger off a bigger riot
In India most of the newspapers are controlled by
business magnates Such newspapers therefore pro-
mote the interest of the capitalists by given tainted
news They pay no heed even to the genuine prob-
lems of the worker^ farmers artisans and other
weaker sections of the people
The press is the defender and the protector of the
rights and liberties of the people But it can per-
form this role only if it enjoys freedom in publish-
ing news views and reporting It can function ef-
fectively only in an open society where decisions are
made in a democratic manner The press should not be
scared of influential people The press should consider
it their duty to protect the right of the workers and oth-
er downtrodden sections of the people
While the press should enjoy freedom to perform its
role effectively it should not treat such freedom as a
licence to defame anybody It should not publish any
views or support any movement which violates our
Constitution or is against the territorial integrity and
unity of the country
To the conclusion As the worldrsquos largest democracy
India has a duty to ensure that the press has the duty to
disseminate information and express opinions without
excessive censorship Unfortunately in recent years
the right has been increasingly curbed This oppres-
sion of press is an alarming trend as it does not allow
for proper checks and balances on the government and
its activities The people of our country need to re-
member that in order to have a strong democracy they
need a strong and free press

Our Future Earth
- Hiya Purswani VIII B
We all know the present condition of our environment
around us Inspite of advanced and modern technolo-
gy we humans are still not able to find a solution
Early humans neither they had much technology nor
they had enough intelligence but still in the early ages
the environment was clean making it the reason for
the increasing life span of humans Its a shocking
news to know that the amount of plastic bottles pro-
duced now may lead to increase in plastic pollution
and cause several death
Its a great opportunity to be as a human in this beauti-
ful earth and so itrsquos our responsibility to make it
clean In monsoon people cut down trees to prevent
accidents to occur but do we plant trees in summer to
prevent more global warming We can prevent bad
things to happen but not cannot take that much efforts
for good things to spread Have you ever wondered
while seeing a tap open how many taps are left open
at the same time in the whole world It might sound
unbelievable there can be a World War III on water
land and fresh air The way we are thinking about the
wastage of water may lead us to a massive pain I trsquos
truly said by Warren Buffet sometimes to buy things
we need we have to sell things we do not need This
happens in the case of lacking of intelligence We say
every scholar is a true genius but in my opinion a per-
son is genius if he has the ability to save and change
things in his own way We all have the ability to save
this earth but our thoughts our ego and our greedi-
ness is stopping us to think in a better way rdquoEveryone
has a good and a bad side in his life What matters is
the part we choose to act upon rdquoThis is an excellent
thought said by Sirius Black in the movie Harry Pot-
ter Itrsquos time to bring a change
We always have time to do good things all we need is
hope Spreading awareness is the best idea to bring a
change If everyone stops thinking about their eco-
nomical needs and start contributing towards the envi-
ronment by planting more trees certainly there will be
a beneficial change in this world Neither do we think
about the future nor care about the present Why not
be an optimist and think in a positive way of life Our
studies our needs our knowledge will not help us in
any way if we donrsquot change Its not that easy to plant a
tree and care for it a whole year but if we only plant it
with all our love nature is certainly going to care for
it Lastly I would like to end with a quote Come
forth in the light of things nature will be your teach-
er
Endeavor
- Heet Shripal Kankariya VII-G
It is hard to recall the past
but good thoughts are forever
Remember the step you took
May it be stupid or clever
Though the time runs out
your hope should never
Dont lose ittry and endeavor
Do your best even if the conse-
quences make your work the worst
Try and try and make your work better
It is hard to recall the past
but good thoughts are forever
Remember the step you took maybe stupid or clever

The Aloof Humans - A curse to mother
earth - Vaijayanthimala Navneet VIII-J
With all the night strength and gust
Preserving nature is must
Mother Nature has been so lucrative
Letrsquos do something to save her
Something new and creativersquo
Let us get pollution under control
Before mother Earth weeps and implores
Let clean air sweep
Both high and deep
Let the tiny piece of land
Be clean tidy and neat
Let uncontaminated water be
So that everything doesnrsquot
end like the sea
Let the tree stand
lsquoCause it is more alluring than the seven colour band
Without being loquacious
Mother nature is indeed precious
The Little girl
- Bhumika Sharma VI-F
I found in a garage
Near the carriage
A tiny little baby girl
She had cute blue eyes
Which were very small in size
And had beautiful hair with a cute little curl
I wonder why she was there
And she came fromhellipwhere
I then asked a person passing on the road
If he knew the merciless who
kept her near the horses and
toads
The person replied ldquoWho cares
O Madamhellip
hellipFor a girl who is denied by her
dad and mum
I felt very sad and cried
But I saved her lest she died
Who will save many such girls
Imagine a world without these pearls
Treat them with respect and love
The Little Guest - Ashwathy Ganesh VI ndashD
It was rainy season
At home came a pigeon
It made its nest and was a pest
But there came another guest
Who shooed away the little pest
First there was nothing but a basket of twigs
And I watched it eating figs
When the thunder came with the rain
I got a bit scared
But it didnrsquot fly away
Because I took care
Soon there were three small
eggs
Which were taken care of by the guest
The bird is easy to guess
Because it doesnrsquot make a mess
With its red tail
It looked a bit frail
Between the plants green full full
Was the nest of the little Bulbul

The Art of Dharma as per Mahabharata
- Abhishek Singh [Teacher SrSecondary]
Dharma means the Duty or RighteousnessDharma is
subtle many times we are forced to take wrong
means for right means(and ends us like Arjuna in hell)
or reaches wrong ends following right means(like
Yudhishthira in exile)Its like the Ying and Yang
Duryodhanarsquos envy for the Pandvarsquos Indraprastha and
Yudhishthirarsquos greed or addiction to a game of dice
and win more territory was the main cause of war
The envy can result in healthy competitiveness raising
oneself up by making the envious work harder for
rivalrsquos possessions or eternal sickness to pull the rival
downThe envy and greed are both presents even in
the
modern day world the failure
of communism was caused by
envy among citizens while the
capitalist system is stranded by greed The aim of so-
ciety should not be to suppress these feelings among
its citizens but to channelize them productively Envy
is the vice of socialism Greed is the evil of capital-
ism
Dharma is not justice Its difference between Retribu-
tive Justice and forgiveness While a nation with
stronger legal laws can prefer justice over peace the
newly created or war-torn nations with weaker legal
laws should prefer to restore peace and harmony in
society rather than emphasizing justice
Beware You are in for a scare
- Ayush Lonakadi IX-C
I had returned home late but after reaching home I had
wished I had not reached home that day There was no
electricity which just made it creepier When I
reached my room my exhaustion made me forget that
I was famished I lay on the bed scrolling down pic-
tures I had recently clicked I relived happy moments
but someone out there wasnrsquot happy to see me happy
and I noticed a photograph in my phone which be-
mused me ndash not mentioning how frightened I had be-
come
The picture waswashow can I explain The back-
ground was of my house In the photoI was
sleeping Butbut how could that have been possi-
ble I lived alone there was no one to click my photo
while I was sleeping I was petrified with my eyes
wide open and my whole body was horror-struck
Then all the unwanted noises came into focus ndash the
noises from outside noises of something creaking and
the wind forcefully blowing through the thin slit of the
window eerily
I was panic-stricken I
quickly switched my
phone off and kept it on
the table beside and did
not bother about changing my clothes and covered my
face with a blanket and hugged it tightly I could not
even think of sleeping Every second the clock ticked
I hugged the blanket harder My face and chest were
drenched in sweat I felt some supernatural move-
ments around me something trying to reach out to
me
By then I was praying to God to take me away from
that place I was ready to die Then something hap-
pened and I became frantic from tip to toe lsquoIt is Tues-
day todayrsquo The virtual assistant of my phone said but
I clearly remembered that I had switched off my
phone Who asked the question It was this trauma
that I couldnrsquot bear and today I am here telling you
this story after turning into a roaming soul Look to
your right I am right beside you

Travelling Aaryan Aggarwal IX - B
Travelling is an experience It doesnrsquot matter where
you travel Every place is great in its own ways You
could go to a culturally rich yet underdeveloped place
or you could go to an advanced metropolitan place
You could travel slow paced or you could be adven-
turous and go off the beaten path You could go to the
beach you could go to a museum It wonrsquot matter as
wherever you go you will always get a new and
different experience The experiences will open your
mind to a whole new world and culture which will
change your understanding and preconceived notions
about that place You will also get an opportunity to
detoxify yourself from social media Thus I believe
that travelling is more than just a hobby and can
change your entire thought process and state of
mind
Wallflower
- Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
She lived under a rock
More by force than by will
She lived there so long
She had nothing to fight with
All these people pushing her down
Her feeble frame could fight no long
She vowed to never stop the struggle
Until she had on her temples the crown
Declaring to the world her change
after years bygone
From being the young shy girl they saw
But all this struggle slowly had her crumbling
As she withered her dreams fading
Cause promises are sometimes left undone
When fate decides to yield a gun
And the world never saw the light
Of a wallflower wishing to shine so bright
Being Myself -Nidhi Mishra VIII-G
I did never lie to myself
Never strived to be someone else
And so I never shy
To look myself straight in the eye
I did never hide myself
And lavish a priceless gift
Having lsquolifersquo as its spell
Being myself Irsquoll uplift
Life is too short
Donrsquot be someone else
A onetime offer we have got
Even more precious than a thousand jewels

Women Empowerment - Devangi Dongre VII-B
The abilities of women in making decisions educa-
tion and profession have been largely suppressed
since ages considering them inferior to men The sit-
uation is worst in underdeveloped and developing na-
tions where women in a family are not allowed to
take financial decisions or decide on matters regard-
ing their own educationWith such state of affairs it
would be a fallacy to dream about the goals of sus-
tainable development and gender equality There is an
instant need to take measures to lift the social
personal and professional
status of women bringing
them shoulder to shoulder
with men These particular
measures constitute a pro-
cess which is known as ldquoWomen Empowermentrdquo
Providing better education and employment opportu-
nities to women ensuring their better health provid-
ing justice and ensuring professional equivalence are
the few methods of women empowerment

He looked from afar at his towering creation A re-
mote island in the Pacific Ocean seemed like a great
refuge after what had been happening on the Earth
He chose secrecy as his mission had raised many eye-
brows The plan was simple lsquoEscape and start overrsquo
Right now Moon seemed to be the most viable option
in terms of survival The research had been done
Moon was habitable So close to our abode our cos-
mic neighbor the Moon must exist for a reason It-
will not just be a secondary habitat but also be a step-
ping stone for further progress
His meticulously crafted plan was now just minutes
away from execution A team of four explorers would
first leave Earth and explore the Moon to test his hy-
pothesis Once a temporary col-
ony using genetically engi-
neered pods containing human
embryos is set up they would
further analyze the surroundings and find ways to
make it more habitable The lesser gravitational pull
which allowed for a comparatively lower escape ve-
locity made it easier to transport resources from the
Earth or the ISS Sure it would be difficult at first
Earth is unmatched but he knew it was for the greater
good of mankind It would mean more opportunities
and help us understand our place in this universe
Right now we have confined ourselves in a box and
this is the only way to leave it and unleash the won-
ders of the universe In front of his eyes it flew never
to come back

To perceive ones way to success
A dose of victory isnrsquot enough

Television Pros and Cons
- Soumya Sheth
What do most of the people do these days to entertain
themselvesEveryone likes to switch ON their televi-
sion sets which is one of the exceptional inventions of
science When our Dads come home tired after office
the first thing they would like to do is switch On the
TV and relax while watching it from his sofa seat
This is because while watching different things that
are broadcasted on TV we forget our worries and re-
grets of the day
However like every good and popular inventions tel-
evision also has its set of some worrying habits that
people get hitched to For example sometimes kids
watch it for extensive time thereby affecting their
studies This is one of the most worrying habit for par-
ents and we should know that ignoring studies is not
good for our future and studying is as much important
for us at this tender age more than anything elseItrsquos
true that television can bring us the knowledge from
across the world We can see different parts of the
world virtually sitting at the same place But we
should know how
we can use this
incredible inven-
tion of science in
the right and bene-
ficial way for us Now-a-days Smart TVs have be-
come even more popular We can even use internet on
those TVs Use Google to search for answers we donrsquot
know use YouTube to understand how things are
made or get our doubts cleared and much much more
To summarize it I would like to urge all my fellow
students to use this precious invention of science in a
way that will benefit you to gain constructive
knowledge and avoid destructive knowledge We
should know that television is not the world but only a
small component of this world Please know that there
are other things in life which we should enjoy too
along with giving utmost importance to our studies

The night before the final examination
-Marisha Nath VIII- C
The night before the final examination appears to all
examinees as the night before the Battle of Waterloo
might have appeared to Napoleon or the Duke of Wel-
lington Our system of education being what it is we
examinees are bound to be anxious about the nature of
the nature of the questions we will have to answer
next day Even an earnest student who has done all
that needs be done by way of nervousness uncertainty
and suspense on the night before the examination The
morning of the examination finds them prostate with
nervous disorder
But this is one side the picture There are students
who may be described as soldiers of fortune They are
daredevil youngsters who do not take their examina-
tions seriously But their lack of preparation is more
than made up for by the short cuts or bazar notes they
have provided themselves with Even on the night
before the examina-
tion they would be
going about their
daily rounds They
may be found in the parks cafes and restaurants talk-
ing about tips ndashtalking glibly and confidently about
what questions are sure to come The morning of the
examination finds them as cheerful as they were on
the night before
What is needed most is self-confidence and a cool
head True we do not remember all that we have read
when we go to the Examination Hall This does not
mean that we have forgotten them Many things re-
main in the sub ndashconscious region They jump into
consciousness when we face the questions and seri-
ously think of the answers Often such answers score
more marks than prepared ones

Colourful wrapper shiny and bright
Which one to choose which would be right
Houses made of chocolates and doors made of bars
And out stood there a chocolate car
Soon after it was 6 oclock
And could hear the doorrsquos knock
I woke up in a hurry
Just to realise that it was a dream

The ant and the elephant
- SOUMEN RAO IV-E
Once upon a time in a forest there lived an ant and an
elephant The elephant was the biggest among all the
elephants So he was very proud of himself and used
to criticize everyone and the ant which was the tiniest
among them was very happy and cheerful It used to
help everyone I its own way
All the animals in the forest used to complain about
the egoistic elephant So one day when the ant saw the
elephant walking towards it it immediately thought of
a plan As soon as the elephant came near the ant
said ldquoHello My friendrdquo but the elephant replied rude-
ly saying ldquoYou tiny
ant Get off my way
otherwise yoursquoll get
crushed to deathrdquo
Hearing this ant
challenged the elephant sayingrdquo My big friend I can
make you cryrdquo The ant quickly climbed onto the trunk
of the elephant and ran towards its earit went inside
the ear and started biting the elephants ear The ele-
phant tried to flap its ears but in vain After a few
minutes tears started rolling down its eyes It cried
ldquoPlease come out of my ear I canrsquot bear the painrdquo As
soon as the ant came out the elephant apologized for
its mistake and didnrsquot tease any animals from that day
Grandparents

The best place in vacation

To your grandparents never be rude
Because they are your
coolest dude
They yell at our parents
when we are shouted
With generosity and be-
nevolence they are bounded
Be sure to always meet your grandparents once in a
while and enhance yourself by their presence

Water Conservation
- Paarth Bhagat VII-J
Water is life If there was no water there would be no
life Hence water is the precious gift of God to mother
Earth We cannot imagine our lives without water
We human beings are made up of water it is the only
transportation medium that carries the food molecules
and oxygen to the cells of every body parts to help the
blood It signifies that water is the most essential in-
gredient to the functioning of life of every organism
So you see living this wonderful life is impossible
without water
Water is the force behind all the industry agriculture
manufacturing and trade and commerce All forms of
energy generation is done using water Be it hydroe-
lectrically projects or thermal power plant or nuclear
power plant water is
the key ingredient in
all of them There
would be no power
without water No
water no life
So it is our responsibility to conserve this life nectar
It is possible only through by changing our outlook
towards this wonderful natural resource We must en-
sure there is no pollution of water bodies by dumping
any waste such as sewage effluents and other toxic
substances We must also ensure there is no emission
of green-house gases into the atmosphere The people
and the government must ensure installation of efflu-
ents and smoke treatment plants at industrial garbage
and sewage units

The kind Fairies -Aditys Patil VIII-E
This story starts with two beautiful babies in a king-
dom called fairyland The babies were very pretty
Their names were Ovi and Riddhi They were growing
pretty well As they grew they became more and
more pretty Over and over they were also fairies and
within 5 years they became young girls Their mother
told them to go to school The girls askedwhere are
the schools There are no schools here Mother said
dont worry you will go to the planet Earth On the
planet Earth there is a very good school named New
Horizon Public School and the short form is nhps We
said ok On the first day of our school we were very
afraid but after a few days we
became more smart than the
others We were getting a lot of
prizes which we shared with
eveyone in the school This
made us and others happy One day We became the
princess of fairyland Our wings were like a rainbow
We were twins and had very long hairs Now I end
my story with a beautiful quote
ALWAYS HELP EACH OTHER LIKE THE
FARIES BECAUSE HELPING PEOPLE IS THE
PATH TO GOD
The Day Irsquoll Never Forget - Saranya Sarangi VII -
It was a day of love and affection
There was no visible sign of caution
But something unfortunate was going to happen
Nobody knew where and when
There was a blast at half past three
In a beauty land called Paradise On Earth
A complete silence and pity hadnrsquot the thee
Perished laid the martyrs
Whom our motherland gave birth
I still remember that scaring sight
The scattered limbs I couldnrsquot see
My heart got filled with grief and fright
No Indian could glee
Terribly writhing the soldiers were seen
Some families languished and some
were crying
So loyal to their country they had been
None of their families were mollifying
Whatever homage to our martyrs we pay
Tiny before their they lay
Salute to their tribute to motherland
To protect us they always walked hand in hand
Little Birdie - Marisha Nath VIII-C
I am a little birdie in the sky
With two wings to fly
I never disturb you
I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom
O human Then why do you steal my FREEDOM
Binding me alone in the cage makes me sad
Donrsquot you know caging a bird is bad
Looking at the sky
I wish I could fly
I never disturb you
I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom
O human Then why do you steal my
FREEDOM

Summers in India - Saranya Sarangi VIII
A hot season beginning from April till May is what we
call summer And thatrsquos the basic rule in India But
thatrsquos not something through which we can define
summers in our country India The sun shining high
above the head increasing the heat and this scorching
heat is something very unique about summers in India
Those ice-lolly stalls roaming down the streets tin-
kling their tiny bells is something special one will nev-
er find in any other country Many people love this
season
Especially the children as they get to eat ice-creams
Many people even donrsquot As they feel that this season
can only make a person dehydrated exhausted and irri-
tated Summer as we think as an unfruitful season is
contrast in reality Schools conduct summer camps
during vacation where stu-
dents can join different aca-
demic and co-curricular
courses to improve them-
selves Many children even spend time with their fami-
lies
Often families plan trips to different places as they get
a very long vacation during this season But now-a-
days due to increasing heat these pleasant summers
are becoming unbearable Every just sweat and sweat
We get a lethargic feeling not ready to do any work
Due to this heat we continually keep the ACs on which
consume a lot of electricity creating trouble for our
mother Earth and us Gradually that charm of the
unique kind of summers will be lost if precautions are
not taken We must really hope and work hard to bring
back our lovely lsquoSummers in Indiarsquo
Exams are good or bad
- Nupoor Teli VIIIndashI
In my humble opinionexams are apressure on the stu-
dents They are forced to study and score good
markswhich can lead to frustration An environmentof
competitivenessof standing first is created for which
students keep on studying day and night without any
recreation It is good to studybut not just for the sake
of gaining marks
Why do we study What is the main intention behind
education Seeking intersresting and fascinating
knowledge as well as facts about the world But now-a
-daysthe main reason for studying is gaining marks If
there are no marksno career andno success This is the
mindset of 70 people of the worldespecially parents
They pressurize their children so much that they get
depressed or sometimes attempt suicide as well
Every two months an exam is conducted Moreo-
verthere are projectssubject-enrichment activi-
tieschapter test sfter every topicnotebookfile submis
sion etcAnd as acherry on top
of the cakewe have the semes-
ter exams of eighty marks as
well What all will the students
do And even if any extra-
curricular activities are being learntthen more extra
studies Just studystudy and study
Why so much of tension on the children Under this
tension only they start cheating As time passes cheat-
ing becomes a habit of their life
I fell that exams should be conducted once a term in
order to evaluate whether the students are clear with
the concepts or notThey shouldnt be pressurized for
their marksbut should be made understand their mis-
takes Let them choose their own career options on
their own Help them knowwhat they like to study and
what they want to do in their life So dont pressurize
students for what they dont likeand encourage them in
what they do After allthey are only the Rising stars of
the country

Life is magical - Piyush Sahoo VII-H
A new day or a new night
Everything in life seems bright
A new morning or a new evening
Life is full of happening
A life is just like a kite
It may disappear in a sight
Life moves from baby to old
Make your life challenging and bold
Enjoy life the fullest
Never accept less than best
Unlikely life comes to an end
But remember never to bend
Happy sadness victory and loss
Accept it the way it comes
Life can be at times tragical
But make it the most beautiful
Life is magicalhellip
Life is so magicalhellip
Humility -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
Humility is having a heart to treat others with respect
and love Considering people worthy of your love
time and efforts regardless of who they are or what
they have done A person is truly humble when they
are willing to work hard for others expecting nothing
in return
Humility has the power to change a personrsquos perspec-
tive towards life It can make a difference in the way a
person is looked upon by others Doing an act of hum-
bleness can make a personrsquos day Humility is about
not having an ego or considering things below your
dignity or considering yourself greater than others
People often confuse humility with self-respect They
canrsquot make out the difference between being useful to
others and being used by others
It takes courage to be humble
because in the era in which we
live humility is looked upon as
weakness People assume yoursquore not strong enough to
stand up for yourself They think you surrender in-
stead of protesting They will despise and scorn you
but they donrsquot know that you take pleasure in what
you do because they havenrsquot experienced that kind of
joy
So if you do have humility donrsquot draw back from it
because of what others think Whatever you are doing
is for the good of others and you have no need to be
ashamed of that Humbleness will spread from person
to person Who knows maybe your one act of humili-
ty will spread on to help a person in need So be brave
be humble
Mom -Tanvi Sawant VII-C
Oh mom I came to this beautiful world just because
of youhellip
Mom what would I do without you
Oh mom there are thorns on the way
But you manage to get me awayhellip
Oh mom I canrsquot say how much yoursquore to me
Mom just promise me that yoursquoll and
always be with mehellip
Oh mom this world is incomplete
without you
Just like the sky without itrsquos bright color bluehellip
Oh mom yoursquore the candle that showed the way in the
dark
My dear mom you made my life spark

I am the EARTH - Deepashikha P VII F
Hello I am the Earth
For me I am the sweetest heart
I provide you with lots of stuff
With food and the mangoes that you love
I give you water soil and Sun
I am special as I am just one
But the humans living on me
Are making me dirty
They are cutting all the trees
And killing all the species helliphellip
They filling me with smoke and death
They are killing themselves
with lack of breath
I am the Earth
I am your mother
Make me the best by pol-
luting me less and less
And preventing my green dress
You can save water
you plant a tree
Make a better home for you on me
Recycle things donrsquot throw them awayhellip

OUR FUTURE EARTH - Hiya Purswani VIII-B
We all know the present condition of our environment
around us Inspite of advanced and modern technolo-
gy we humans are still not able to find a solution
Early humans neither they had much technology nor
they had enough intelligence but still in the early ages
the environment was clean making it the reason for
the increasing life span of humans Its a shocking
news to know that the amount of plastic bottles pro-
duced now may lead to increase in plastic pollution
and cause several death Its a great opportunity to be
as a human in this beautiful earth and so its our re-
sponsibility to make it clean In monsoon people cut
down trees to prevent accidents to occur but do we
plant trees in summer to prevent more global warm-
ing We can prevent bad things to happen but not can-
not take that much effort for good things to spread
Have you ever wondered while seeing a tap open how
many taps are left open at the same time in the whole
world It might sound unbelievable there can be a
World War III on water land and fresh air The way
we are thinking about the wastage of water may lead
us to a massive pain Itrsquos truly said by Warren Buffet
sometimes to buy things we need we have to sell
things we do not need This happens in the case of
lacking of intelligence We say every scholar is a true
genius but in my
opinion a person is
genius if he has the
ability to save and
change things in his
own way We all have the ability to save this earth
but our thoughts our ego and our greediness is stop-
ping us to think in a better way Everyone has a good
and a bad side in his life What matters is the part we
choose to act upon This is an excellent thought said
by Sirius Black in the movie Harry Potter Itrsquos time to
bring a change We always have time to do good
things all we need is hope Spreading awareness is the
best idea to bring a change If everyone stops thinking
about their economical needs and start contributing
towards the environment by planting more trees cer-
tainly there will be a beneficial change in this world
Neither do we think about the future nor care about
the present Why not be an optimist and think in a
positive way of life Our studies our needs our
knowledge will not help us in any way if we donʼt
change Its not that easy to plant a tree and care for it a
whole year if we only plant it with all our love nature
is certainly going to care for it Lastly I would like to
end with a quoterdquo Come forth in the light of things
nature will be your teacher
The Small Hours Pranjal Anil Chavan V-C
No more my little song Come back
And now of nights I lay my head on down
to watch the black
And wait the unfailing gray
Oh Sad are winter nights and slow
And sad is a song thatrsquos dumb
And sad it is to lie I know
Another dawn will come

Floods and Destruction
- Nirvi Soni IV-H
India faces occurrence of floods each year in some
parts of Assam during the rainy season Water of river
Brahmaputra rises and enters into many villages
causing great destruction Floods are unavoidable but
we need to take precautions in the following ways by
reducing mining activities building dams growing
more trees etc During floods the weather becomes
wet and gloomy Trees and plants get uprooted This
way floods cause great de-
struction to both life and
property It also becomes dif-
ficult to travel from place to
place Many people are left
homeless The rain water should be harvested and
stored in large storage tanks The harvested rainwater
can be used for washing clothes and cleaning By us-
ing rain water in our daily life we can preserve water
resources
Good Morning Everyone -Vyomi ThakkarVI - H
Come with me wersquoll have some fun
Wersquoll go on a walk
Donrsquot worry will have a great talk
Roaming around the ground
With beautiful birdrsquos sound
We donrsquot know if anything will be found
Wersquoll surely find the crown
Up on the chilled mountain
We saw a beautiful fountain
Surrounded by a beautiful castle
Decorated with the colourful tassel
Just be quiet and keen
Soon you will be the queen
Think before you speak
-Shravya Atreya IX-D
Think before you speak
There are hearts you must please
Think before you speak
You canrsquot undo the harm done after you squeak
Think before you speak
You might have done greater harm than you might
think
Think before you speak
There are still places left for you
to seek
Think before you speak
There is a long way to go before
you sleep
Think before you speak
There are hearts you must
please
Sunrise -Anuradha Singh VII-H
Over the glimmering purple sea
Under the golden sun rise

staring at his own in the
enamelled sea
Everything is fine
With fading stars and rising light

GLOBAL WARMING - Adhyant Singh VII-F
Global warming refers to the steady rise in the Earthrsquos mean temperature The effect of global
warming had come into sight when polar ice caps started melting this phenomena is called ICE ndash
ALBEDO the ice caps melt faster due to the rise in the temperature This sudden rise in the temperature near
the poles began in 1999 The polar ice caps in Antarctica melt at the rate of 400000000000 tons per year ac-
cording to some scientists it would approximately take 5000 years to melt the total ice on earth In 2013 Inter-
governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) stated that the main cause of Global warming is human inter-
vention like emission of Green house gases like Carbon-Di-Oxide nitrous oxide and methane
These gases trap the heat which is reflected by the Earthrsquos surface thus increasing the temperature and also
destroying the ozone layer which prevents the ultraviolet rays of the sun from reaching the earthrsquos surface Al-
so burning fossil fuel contributes to the problem Effects of global warming have also led to the increase in the
sea level and extreme weather like heat waves and change in the regional pattern of precipitation and the ex-
pansion of desserts A concentrated and focused effort by the entire humanity can curb down the impact of
Global warming and also prevent it Planting more trees to control the amount of carbon-di-oxide eliminating
the use of chlorofluorocarbon or (CFCrsquoS) are a few steps All the countries have signed up with the United Na-
tions Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to prevent the doomsday of Earth So to prevent
earthrsquos doomsday we all must work together
Itrsquos not too late there is still timehellipBefore the earth ends and we whinehellipSo keep on marching and planting
greens To end Global Warming and Make our planet greenhellip
What will happen without Instagram

I was hearing it from everyone
I asked who was the inventor
Nobody knew the answer to my question
Mobiles Mobiles Mobiles

Again nobody was aware
I wondered why was it like so
Why is it they donrsquot know
There was one time we were
engrossed in books
Now we care more about our looks
Instagram wonrsquot give you a job
You will have to study and top
Your fellow followers wonrsquot help either
If you donrsquot have a job no one will bother

The Night - Matangi Rajesh VII-D
Its the night
The moon is white
When we switch off the light
What a beautiful sight
After this comes the sun bright
There is no more artificial light
This is the time to start your diet
To go for a run wearing tights
Then comes the evening when
you have snacks light
And fly a big colorful kite
or include your sibling in a pillow fight
Again comes the night
A moon which is white
We switch off the light
A beautiful sight

heavy duty rockets designs and fabricates some of the most sophisticated satellites In a singular achievement
Indiarsquos Mars Orbiter mission or Mangalyaan an unmanned satellite today racing to rendezvous with the red
planet making India a part of a select club of 6 that have dared to undertake the over 680 million kilometer
journey The Indian Space Research Organization ISRO is the Space Agency of Government of India head-
quartered in the city of Bengaluru Its vision is to ldquoharness space technology ldquofor na-
tional development while pursuing space science research and planter exploration
Some achievements of ISRO in 2017
Launching 104 satellites with one rocket

Hyperloop -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
Human inventions have baffled the world They are
innumerable ranging from revolutionizing
smartphones to not-so-breathtaking ice cream cones
but they play a role in our life just the same The
things which are commonplace to us now were unbe-
knownst to people once upon a time For the people of
the 19th century the car was a thing of the future until
in 1885 Karl Benz ran his first car on the road Then
for centuries people took the prospect of of flying like
the birds as only a wild possibility which was made
possible in 1903 when the Wright Brothers flew the
first plane
What is the thing of the future for us Well we are the
future modifying and bettering the things that have
been made and crating stuff that we didnt even dare
to imagine about The Hyperloop fulfills both aspects
of the definition a very advanced model of our faith-
ful train and yet a brand new idea to scale greater
heights The Hyperloop is an ideal mode of efficient
transport Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane
with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing
speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt have to
ace the two types of friction that every other vehicle
has to face Air resistance and ground friction The
pods of the Hyperloop are propelled through a depres-
surized tub Since it is almost vacuum very little air
resistance can be offered inside the tube Due to this
the energy required to travel is also very less The Hy-
perloops unique technology uses magnetic levitation
to guide and lift the pods of the rail Since the pod is
not in contact with the ground there is no friction act-
ing on itThe first Hyperloop ndash virgin Hyperloop one
is set to run with passengers as early as 2021 and is
created by SpaceX and Tesla
The mastermind behind the Hyperloop is Elon Musk
who first published a 58 page white-paper on the web-
site of his company-Space X It was available to all
and was titled Hyperloop alpha The Hyperloop may
be the pioneer of a whole new era of transportation
traveling a distance which would otherwise take 12
hours in just I hour it has crossed all known bounda-
ries and created higher limits for us to reach and reach
we must for when time is money and money is time
an option that saves both needs to be used
Exams are good or bad -Nupoor Teli VIII
In my humble opinion exams are pressure on the stu-
dents They are forced to study and score good marks
which can lead to frustration An environment of com-
petitiveness of standing first is created for which stu-
dents keep on studying day and night without any rec-
reation It is good to study but not just for the sake of
gaining marks
Why do we study What is the main intention behind
education Seeking interesting and fascinating
knowledge as well as facts about the world But now-a
-days the main reason for studying is gaining marks
If there are no marks no career and no success This
is the mindset of 70 people of the world especially
parents They pressurize their children so much that
they get depressed or sometimes attempt suicide as
wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-
ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities
chapter test after every topic notebookfile submis-
sion etc And as cherry on top of the cake we have the
semester exams of eighty marks as well What all will
the students do And even if any extra-curricular ac-
tivities are being learnt then more extra studies Just
study study and study
Why so much of tension on the children Under this
tension only they start cheating As time passes cheat-
ing becomes a habit of their lifeI fell that exams
should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate
whether the students are clear with the concepts or
not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but
should be made understand their mistakes Let them
choose their own career options on their own Help
them know what they like to study and what they want
to do in their life So dont pressurize students for
what they dont like and encourage them in what they
do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the
country

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B
Life is all about interactions You meet people and
you interact You observe them consciously or sub-
consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us
more than we even realise Some people leave a last-
ing impression on us and entirely change the course of
life for better or for worse Some people influence us
help us go further and make all the difference
I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-
tial people They have taken care of me ever since I
came into this world They are the ones who wish the
best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-
cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel
no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-
come a part of my personality They are the ones who
helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me
to be better
When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are
the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-
takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique
learning experience It has made me realise how eve-
rything they do has a reason They are the ones who
have taught me the importance of the little things in
life They are the ones who have helped me recognize
and follow my passion The very thought of them not
being a part of my life is scary to the least as without
them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am
today and whatever I have achieved is all because of
them and I am very grateful of that
Eyesight
-Aditi Shenoy VIII-F
The tired little girl went to bed
Recollecting the days bygone
Seeing them in her dreams
As the day she was born
Trying to see the world
With her little eyes
But the sun with his brightness
Wouldnt let her catch the sights
The girl still eager
And curious to see the world around her
Again opened her eyes
But her vision was blurred
Still she did not lose hope
Which flowed through her blood
Encouraging and pushing her
To see the world further
Her heart beating fast
Her enthusiasm increasing
She slowly tried to see
With her eyes continuously blinking
Starting to lose hope
She was ready to give up
But curiosity got the upper hand
And pushed her forward
With her hope again rising
and strength in her eyesight
She is finally seeing the world
With wide open eyes

Conquering the space
-Marisha Nath VIII-C
ldquoThere is no failure in Science it is only continual
effort to conquer the unknown On the way even if we
face failure it rather adds more value to our effort for
our next journey to know the unknownrdquo
Chandrayan-2 Indiarsquos Moon Mission The dream of
entire India to land on moon and become the 4th Na-
tion in the world to put its flag on the soil of moon
after USSR USA amp China
ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launched
Chandrayan-2 on 22nd July 2019 from Bengaluru
(Satish Dhawan Space Center) under the command of
ISRO chief K Shivan It consists of ORBITER
LANDER amp Lunar Rover PRAGYAN Like Chandra-
yan-1(22nd Oct2008) it was Indiarsquos indigenous moon
mission
It touched the Moon Surface on Saturday early morn-
ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-
ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-
ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of
moon it lost contact with the ground station Because
of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be
monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m
(approx) away from its assigned location near
SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still
orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange
signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it
The ORBITER which will remain active for another
12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-
owed portion of the moon for the first time in history
with the help of its high-resolution camera
The entire Nation irrespective of their field of
knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front
of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of
VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true
Indians who always dream progress and development
of their motherland But our heart never accepts this
as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement
for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-
pose of our mission
But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at
this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring
country quoting this as a big failure on part of India
blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos
money on this
Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will
be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to
this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other
nations on such missions
Further I should say that India is not new in the field
of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-
TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975
It was named after famous scientist of ancient India
ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested
for the first time the HELIOCENTRIC THEORY
(Sun at the center and all planets revolve around the
Sun) of the Solar System much earlier than ready for
New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 57
COPERNICUS as believed in the western world
Other countries might have moon on their flags but
we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is
great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are
whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-
rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is
only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the
unknown and its continual application for the benefit
of the mankind)rdquo
Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by
various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-
PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-
cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958
onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as
46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was
attempted out of which only 21 was successful
Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-
tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the
overall attempts conducted by other Nations
USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-
NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was
planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January
SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR
successfully on moon
NASA after many attempts was successful to send
first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th
July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk
on moon
Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-
clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-
SION MANGAL for our next moon mission

The most important step we can take toward achiev-
ing our greatest potential in life is to learn to monitor
our attitude and its impact on our work performance
relationships and everyone around us
We all have a choice We can choose an inner dia-
logue of self-encouragement self-motivation or we
can choose one of self-defeat and self-pity Itrsquos a
power we all have
Our mind is a computer that can be programmed We
can choose whether the software installed is produc-
tive or unproductive
Our inner dialogue is the software that programs our
attitude which determines how we present ourselves
to the world around us We have control over the
programming Whatever we put into it is reflected in
what comes out
Many of us have behavior patterns today that were
programmed into our brains at a very tender age The
sad reality of life is that we continue to hear negative
information but we donrsquot have to program it into our
brains
The most influential voice we hear is our own inner
voice our selfcritic It can work for or against us de-
pending on the messages we allow
It can be optimistic or pessimistic It can wear us
down or cheer us on We control the sender and the
receiver but only if we consciously take responsibil-
ity for and control over our inner conversation
Habitual bad attitudes are often the product of past
experiences and events Common causes include low
self-esteem stress fear resentment anger and an ina-
bility to handle change
It takes serious work to examine the roots of a harm-
ful attitude but the rewards of ridding ourselves of this
heavy baggage can last a lifetime

ldquoMicro changes in Life can bring Macro Transformationrdquo
Children should be taught to think We should help them to unfold their imaginations and give life to
their thoughts amp aspirations The Hands on Learning Activities done in class will unleash a wide
spectrum of creative skills This I believe is the strongest factor for success in raising his self esteem
amp the most overwhelming key to a childrsquos success is the attitude by parents by giving the space to the
child and not comparing them to others ldquoThe secret of getting ahead is getting startedrdquo So why not
give them a jumpstart from the grass root level itself

ldquo What you are is Godrsquos gift to you What you become is your gift to God ldquo
Language is one of Godrsquos greatest gift to humans given for the purpose of sharing ideas with others
Without leaving our chairs we can go to all parts of the world We mediate on the wonders of creation
But without the gift of language we would be limited in the ways we can share these ideas Words help
us let others know what we are feeling how much we care or how our hearts are filled with awe and
wonder and gratitude to God for all He has given us
Our School magazine is a mirror reflecting the creativity of young minds of the school I extend my
warm wishes to continue this journey on the road of excellence May God Bless us with wisdom

A shadow side in me - Sunit Dighe VIII-C
Your life is in your hands How to solve your life with
ease Thats always a big question in a puzzled mind
Synchronizing the answer is always necessary Elabo-
ration the next first lets understand why you get a
human life hereditarily Until and unless you have
solved the Rubiks cube of your life with cases truly
hard then you are fulfill to get handout of the running
notes written by your mind for a total 70 years Thats
not a small value Its 70times12=etc
Now whats a shadow side of your life Its none other
than your emotions Answer to the shadow side of
your life in emotions is depression Not going beyond
and deeper in depression But those who dont know
what is depression -It is the state in which your mind
losses thinking will power and confidence for find-
ing no way in taking the right path for the solution
Depresion acts in making your life a
bit difficult Mind makes all unneces-
sary savages which have a result 0
See the matchmaking here the villain
depression has no hero to be defeated You yourself
are a hero but you sometimes fail to take control over
depression So here motivation plays a extravagant
role
How to solve your life with ease That was our ques-
tion in the start Life isnt easy but definitely you can
decide your life Have a success its good defeating
all sort of gratuitous emotions is better and thinking
optimistically is best Like with what the quote moti-
vatesldquoonly when you illuminate otherswithout ex-
pectation or rewardwill you truly understand how to
illuminate yourselfrdquo only remember dont let you sink
your mind sink and your foolish but previous life to
sink in the deep disarrayed water
The destiny in my hands - Aaryan Aggarwal IX-B
Destiny The word means the inevitable fate or some
events that will necessarily happen to some person in
the future It is however a notion and not a proven
fact as obviously no one can see the future People
believe that what destiny says is the ultimate truth and
absolutely nothing can change it However I beg to
differ as while it may be inevitable it will not neces-
sarily be completely unchangeable To give an exam-
ple a person born into a poor family may believe that
his destiny is poverty and nothing else
However with enough efforts and determination he
she may grow up to be very successful This has led
me to believe that destiny is not any actual power or
anything that can affect our future Rather it is a state
of mind that sometimes may lead to demotivation
This happens because success has never come without
failures In failures we tend to lose
positivity and start becoming nega-
tive and their mindset towards life all
-in-all becomes negative This is
where we begin to believe that this is what destiny had
in store for us and this is exactly what we are going to
get With this preconceived notion people often lose
interest or even give up entirely However since desti-
ny is a figment of a personrsquos mind it can be modified
as and when required
Thus believing in destiny and hoping that the hard-
ships that you have faced are all part of a bigger plan
will give you the motivation to do better and improve
Thus I believe that destiny while not being real to
some extent can change the course of a personrsquos life
Destiny is not unchangeable the power to do so lies in
your very hands

Savior of all Nikita V IXndash A
Our country is safe
Because of you
You protect our country today

Because you are there
And the feelings of love with
Our country we share
Bravery in your fights

Self Confidence
Anirudh Shetti VI B
Self Confidence is an attitude that allows you to move
forward and achieve your goals Self confidence
means believing in yourself It is an ability that makes
the human believe in himself For example Tim was a
boy who had a stage fear One day he was selected for
the assembly as a reporter On the day of assembly
Tim was very scared to go on the stage Then he
thought about Self confidence Long ago his mother
said him that if a person has Self confidence he can
cross away all the difficulties in his life So at that
time Tim forgot all the fear and became a self confi-
dent boy
On assembly he reported beautifully and he was the
best reporter in the assembly There are some more
other positives like positive thinking concentration
good manners being kind etc Like Theodore Roose-
velt said ldquoEach time we face fear we gain strength
courage and confidence in the doingrdquo I will conclude
my article with this quote ldquoBelieve in yourself and
you will be unstoppablerdquo
Pencil
-Aadya Agarwal V
Once I was drawing with a pencil
But to draw proper shape I need a stencil
I was using a pencil to write a phrase
I wrote it wrong then the teacher said ldquoErase Eraserdquo
I lost my pencil
But it was with my friend Jencil
With that pencil I drew a triangle and a rectangle
But I was not able to find its angle
In English I had to complete punctuation marks
With help of that pencil James drew many sharks
In science there was a chemical blast
My teacher said ldquopencilrsquos life is very vastrdquo
Once more I lost my pencil
It was stuck in my hair
Once again i lost my pencil
But this time it was lost in a fair

Taras intelligence
- Pritika Manohar kadam VIII ndashD
Once upon a time there lived a couple near the town
They were just married and expected a child After a
year they had twins Both were charming Their
names were Yash and Tara
Tara was expected to do the household work and
Yash was to go to school and do a job Tara was an
very intelligent girl so she used to take her brothers
old books and study on her own
One fine day she asked her brother Why every time
I have to do the household work and not study like
you Her brother asked many people but got a com-
mon answer that girls are not meant to study
So both of them decided to ask their father He gave a
confusing answer that if Tara wants to go to school I
can help her to learn and write but which school will
give her admission I cant fight for one girl
She understood what he meant so Tara had an idea
about that She gathered her friends and told them the
importance of education
Next day she gathered them and
went to her father and said you
wont help one girl (me) so can
you help us to study Her father was impressed by her
intelligenceHe took them to the principal who was
his friend and requested him several times about the
admission of the girls
At last one day he agreed to take the admission of
those girls They started going to school everyday
The problem was all the people were frustrated They
used to throw garbage near their house and also say
abusing words Also stop the ways of the girls for
going to school
They also took the house of Tara and Yash They
used to live in a hut with those girls as well
The people used to throw stones on them The girls
did not lose their hopes and studied hard All those
after many years started working in office
The people were proud afterwards and they started a
girls school They gave back house of Yash and Tara
The ordeal to say a lsquogoodbyersquo
-Nidhi Mishra VIII-G
Together we laughed
Together we wept
Myriad fond impressions We kept
Jointly we danced like daisy
We didnrsquot bother about others
We chuckled like crazy
Concerning about the fussy was tempestuous
Together we were scintillating
We were engrossed in
Our cackles were uplifting
Something was sinister I remained keen
That gloominess was undesirable
Not you but our disunion was near
Our parting was lamentable
The distance between us was my fear
Our disunion was forthcoming
I wished I could quit it
Tears from our eyes were running
With those yet we had to split
Years had flown by
Not the echo
The ordeal to say a
lsquogoodbyersquo
And to lose a loyal oppo

My dream House
-Harshith Nair IX-B
Voila I have shifted to my new house
Away from those lizards and that cunning mouse
That was once a basic and simple house
Now canrsquot get over the whoaas and wowws
Ancient doors and artefacts with a palatial tinge
Enter and you would feel yoursquove got wings
Vintage artefacts and interiors add to the glam
quotient
A gramophone an antique
telephone that take you to an
era thatrsquos ancient
To me and my brotherrsquos surprise therersquos an excit-
ing bunk bed
Now who sleeps on the top therersquos gonna be a
bloodshed
I hate boasting but this onersquos the icing on the
cake
Let me tell you friends this was a dream all

Friendship
-Divya Johnson VIII ndash I
Friendship has no form
sometimes it makes us feel secure and warm
Sometimes leaves us cold and forlorn
and sometimes gives us the power to go on
We mistake it often for something materializing
but itrsquos free and artistic
It is hard to catch
no other virtue has its match
Indomitable Earth - Poorvi Sanu IX ndashG
Our global crisis has created a cure
No A treatment for what is in the store
New seasons simmer shorelines bore
Plastics not fake its sweet
Everlasting a love we adore
Are you sure
Intestinal hurdle artwork framed
Mammals fattened by unnatural floating
Wild material machine Unseen
Where does your waste ream
What can I do
It takes more than
one It takes society
Globally to do what
needs to be done
Our footprint is mas-
sive weighty
Join Mother Earth
On our journey here and abroad
Full of disbelief and open scorn
Itrsquos worth the attempt to help her adorn
To help her heal her sores prevent more welts

Travelling via train -Aditya Patil VIII-E
Travelling is a prominent and a fun-learning activity of
our life It introduces us to new people their culture
and enhances skills that are essential in our lives
Travelling gives a wonderful experience to the travel-
ers especially by train I am being so sight to write the
essay lsquocause guess what ldquoI AM TRAVELLING IN
THE BUMPY TRAINrdquo hearing the quarrels for seats
with the bumps of the train
Train to me is the most favourite mode of transport for
long journeys I am sure even others love travelling via
train inspite of the long journey and time But if its
with families or with bachelor friends therersquos no one
stopping them from being happy During travelling we
also get familiar to stops during the journey where
people get off and enter This introduces us to the cul-
ture of those regions
and thatrsquos what makes our
India famous and legend-
ary We also get to eat
those India-famous snacks
from all over India like lsquoShehgaon kachorirsquo lsquo Kol-
hapuri misalrsquo and I would stop here or else I know
your mouth is watering and you wanna eat this
This is what travelling is It increases our general
knowledge as we get across so many new things Trav-
elling by train is much more affordable than aero-
planes where we just have to sit and enjoy the luxury
Travelling will also introduce you to all kinds of peo-
ple like the innocent ones the fighters the caring ones
who surrender themselves for you and sometimes the
people you know So to enjoy these beautiful moments
of life travel once or twice a year to refresh your-
selves
Control Yourself - Suvan Lokhande IX-A
Controlling yourself is something great that you have
achieved in your whole life Controlling a particular
thing with which you get addicted is a big thing Dur-
ing puberty children get addicted to various bad things
such as food mobile TV or maybe food
ldquoControl Yourself Kidrdquo ldquoDone not more than
thisrdquo ldquoControlrdquo such types of sentences maybe
familiar to you which must be said by your mom dad
teachers and your elders But thatrsquos exactly true what
they say I know that itrsquos difficult to leave a particular
thing with which you get addicted But still if you
leave it certainly this can make an impact in your life
I mean to say that leave only bad things and not the
good things like reading or studying Believe it every-
thing is possible in this whole world If Neil Arm-
strong can go to moon then why cannot you leave your
bad habit Lets take an example a
boy who likes to eat a lot he may
like to eat Chinese Continental
Asian and whatever But you must
take care of your fitness too We can
eat whatever we want but in a limit
If you start practicing such good practices you can
surely be the one who has changed his whole life to a
certain life
And these changes can definitely make you proudAt
last my opinions may have some differences but eve-
ryday we get to learn something from our daily experi-
ences And I truly believe that if we make a decision
and start opting it in our daily life we can surely our-
selves make a change in our whole life At last I con-
vey that you need to control yourself and follow this
motto in your lifehelliphellipControl Yourself amp Be the
Change

Nature
- BHUMESH DADHWAL VIImdashC
The earth is full of surprises
Just look around yourself
It can be anywhere around you
Even somewhere in your bookshelf
The most surprising is nature

It can be a human or thing or even a creature
We humans made strong big buildings
And thatrsquos what we think is great
But look deep in nature
You will find trees plants and Animals everywhere
Some may be mild And some may be wild
Mother nature provides us with our needs
And still we use it for our greeds
Letrsquos join hands together
To save this marvelous creation

Anger Management
- Sfurti Kumbhar IX-A
AngerhellipThe worst of emotions It causes a LOT of
problems Like damaged friendships separated fami-
lies to list a few The list is long But as many people
have tried and failed controlling anger can be impos-
sible at times when the little fuse in your brain blows
off Let us discuss controlling anger today
Basically anger management seems and sounds im-
possible But as it turns out it isnrsquot Itrsquos really simple
To be honest I am a cranky person Even the slightest
bit of annoying thing or the face of an irritating person
blows my fuse off So well yeah Irsquom trying to get it
under control Sort of
Impossible right Managing anger sounds easy You
can distract yourself from the situation Permanently
fix an imaginary meter in your brain which indicates
anger level My meter is always near 50-60 When I
say that Irsquom a cranky person you can see that I mean
it
As I was saying the meter Anytime you feel that the
meter is rising just find some ways to control it Like
the classic ldquodrink cool water to cool down your warm
headrdquo or breathe Listen to your fav music Or ask
yourself this simple question
ldquoIs getting angry at this person or screaming at them
going to improve my day in any way whatsoeverrdquo
If the answer is yes go ahead Scream all that you
want at the person and improve your day But if the
answer is no STOP yourself in time Maybe make
yourself an anger dice Or breathe in Out And may-
be the classic as mentioned above
Frankly these ways have helped me to reduce my
ldquofuse blowing offrdquo times since grade 4 Anger may be
one of the smartest issues but we are smarter
You are a masterpiece - Tisha Gangar VIII-A
There are songs in your eyes
Singing lullabies
The voice is so pretty
That it charms in the whole city
There is dance in your smile
With moves in a pile

There is a magical art
Right inside your heart
Painting pictures which create
memories
That are soothing just like a
breeze
You are a Masterpiece
With an end number of skills
Creativity is your strength
Keep safe till the end

Monsoon -Isha Bhanushali VIII
The most alluring part in monsoon season is the way
people tackle them Every where you scan people are
struggling back to reach their home back safely and it
indeed gives you a sense of achievement when you
reach home without getting drained by the gushing
water the automobiles blow on youWell my case is a
little bit different Every time I attempt not to step in-
side the puddle the next step will certainly be inside
it
It was raining heavily that day and unlike my usual
days it was a special one I got dispersed from my
classes by 600 and not aware about the conditions
outside I stepped outside expecting my van to pick
me up Suddenly there was gloomy all around and
there was silence everywhere (huh Because the light
went off) and to add insult to injury I got a call from
my Sir that the van will be com-
ing 1 hour late
I after a while made up my
mind I will set out and go on
my ownI took my umbrella and set out with my
friend The roads were all muddy and the water
reached up to my ankle The situation got testified as
it started raining heavily We all expected the rain to
stop after a while but it was adamant throwing its
tantrums on us All over the road there were vehicles
parked and there was no way to move
But not giving up we carried forward to reach our des-
tination After a long tiring journey of 1km (which
took us almost 1hr) we reached our home safely I had
a feeling of accomplishing a big feat that day
But the climax is here
I had to listen to my Moms scolding
Yes because I had stepped inside a big puddle
Soldier - Marisha Nath VIII-C

Man Woman and Equality Poorvi Sanu IX-G
Why are women considered inferior to men Why is
it so Even in the olden days gender inequality was
very common
Sati widows shravana shraddha managala gaur
akshaya tritiya child marriage karva chauthhellip
etcetera etcetera etceteraWhat do these words re-
mind you of Yep Thatrsquos right These are all systems
for women
These are sacrifices and systems that women perform
for their better halves So that their spouses have a
long and safe life But what do these spouses do in
return Discriminate these women Consider them
inferior I think that only about 15 of men give
equal opportunities and rights to women
This number is increasing no doubt but then this is a
slow processMen work approximately 6 ndash 8 hours a
day Women on the other hand work at least 16
hours a day Yet men get salary and women in some
cases donrsquot
To all the men and boys reading this I have a few
questions for youDo you have the guts to perform all
housework with 5 guests in the house Do you have
enough courage to change your sur-
name after marriage Do you have
the guts to leave your ancestral home
where you have lived for at least 23
years Are you ready to be dominated
by women More importantly are you ready to listen
to pungent words from your mother-in-law And of
course do you guys have courage to bear a child for 9
months and 9 days and give birth and nurture the ba-
by
Giving birth is simultaneous to fracturing 20 ndash 21
bones at once Did men know this And yet they con-
sider women weak They think that because wersquore
women we cannot thinkIf we cannot think who is
Marie Curie If we are weak who delivers kids
Women arenrsquot any different They are children of
gods They arenrsquot your personal secretaries they are
your partnersOnly a woman knows how much suffer-
ing women go through And yet women are discrimi-
nated daily
What women want is love and respect They work
hard for it they toil day and night and what they get
ishellipabsolutely nothing
Is this right
Submission to Peer Pressure -Akshat Mishra IX -G
ldquoHey Mohan When did you get this new iPhone-Xrdquo
we asked him in surprise as we knew the financial
condition of his family ldquoMy cousin gifted it to merdquo
quipped Mohan sheepishly All the boys resumed
playing but I knew there was something amissPeer
pressure is becoming increasingly inevitable amongst
teenagers One may argue that it is a part of human
nature It may be pivotal for a human being but its
darker side is certainly the more powerful one
People are easily succumbing to peer pressure without
realising its consequences Just to gain respect in
someonersquos eyes they are even ready to quarrel with
their parents and ward their attention from their nec-
essary activities A recent survey suggested that the
maximum people in a rave are a group of teenagers
The clutches of peer pressure are so strong that people
arenrsquot being able to listen even to their conscience
The youth mostly is just littering around the streets
smoking cigarettes boozing or becoming a victim to
social networks sites like Facebook or Instagram Hu-
man resource is the most valuable resource that we
have and the youth are supposed to replenish this re-
source not just to become egoists The are the future
of the planet but sadly they arenrsquot forging the path for
mankind that they are supposed to
Hopefully there is some resistance against this social
evil in modern days Such people have sworn to stay
adamant and not stray from the rightful path These
days of hope do believe in working for the greater
good and are spreading awareness and showing the
society that peer pressure is deleterious sort individual
growth and well being

ldquoFreedom of Press in Democracyrdquo
- Poorvi Sanu IX-G
A free press and a free judiciary are two very important
cornerstones of a democracy Especially in the modern
era of widely accessible news and innumerable infor-
mation at our fingertips freedom of press is highly valued
liberty that citizens should be aware of and know the rea-
son why it is given to us as Indians Freedom means those
people who state the liberty or right and privileged to
speak according to their will
Freedom is that opportunity which we should never avoid
and in all bad situations it gives us all right to handle the
problems in our own innovative and thoughtful way Press
and media are the vital way to express and speech some
views and opinions in a democratic country It is the me-
dium of expressing an opinion of the people It justifies
the individual right to speech and expression a coveted
right enshrined in the Indian constitution and the law of
other countries on the globe
The importance of freedom of press lies in the fact that
for most citizens the prospect of personal familiarity with
newsworthy events is unrealistic In seeking out news the
media therefore acts for the public in large it is the means
by which people receive free flow of information and ide-
as which is essential to intelligence self-governance that
is in turn democracy For a proper functioning of democ-
racy it is essential that
citizens are informed
about news from vari-
ous parts of the coun-
try and even abroad because only then can they form ra-
tional opinions A citizen surely cannot be expected per-
sonally to gather news to enable him or her to form such
opinions Hence the media plays an important role in a
democracy and serves as an agency of the people to gath-
er news for them
It is for this reason that freedom of press has been empha-
sised in all democratic countries while it was not permit-
ted in feudal or totalitarian regimes
In India the media have a great responsibility also to see
that the news they present is accurate and serve the inter-
est of the people If the media convey false news that may
harm the reputation of a person or a section of society it
may do a great damage since reputation is a valuable asset
for a person
Even if the media subsequently correct a statement the
damage done may be irreparable Hence the media should
take care to carefully investigate any news item before
carefully reporting it
I know of a case were the photograph of a High Court
judge who was known to be upright was shown on a TV
New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 22
channel along with that of a known criminal The alle-
gation against the judge was that he had acquired the
land not in any discretionary quota but in the open
market at the market priceAlso sometimes the media
present twisted or distorted news that may contain an
element of truth but also an element of untruth This
too should be avoided because a half-truth can be
more dangerous than a total lie The media should
avoid giving any slant to news and avoid sensational-
ism and yellow journalism Only then will they gain
the respect of the people and fulfil their true role in a
democracySome newspapers espouse the cause of
only one community
ldquoThey do not judge problems on their merits They
view problems from a communal angle Such newspa-
pers do disservice to the nation On the other hand
some responsible newspapers exercise great restraint
while reporting news about riots between two commu-
nities They never give the identity of the community
which started the riot If there are any casualties they
do not give a community-wise break up lest this
should trigger off a bigger riot
In India most of the newspapers are controlled by
business magnates Such newspapers therefore pro-
mote the interest of the capitalists by given tainted
news They pay no heed even to the genuine prob-
lems of the worker^ farmers artisans and other
weaker sections of the people
The press is the defender and the protector of the
rights and liberties of the people But it can per-
form this role only if it enjoys freedom in publish-
ing news views and reporting It can function ef-
fectively only in an open society where decisions are
made in a democratic manner The press should not be
scared of influential people The press should consider
it their duty to protect the right of the workers and oth-
er downtrodden sections of the people
While the press should enjoy freedom to perform its
role effectively it should not treat such freedom as a
licence to defame anybody It should not publish any
views or support any movement which violates our
Constitution or is against the territorial integrity and
unity of the country
To the conclusion As the worldrsquos largest democracy
India has a duty to ensure that the press has the duty to
disseminate information and express opinions without
excessive censorship Unfortunately in recent years
the right has been increasingly curbed This oppres-
sion of press is an alarming trend as it does not allow
for proper checks and balances on the government and
its activities The people of our country need to re-
member that in order to have a strong democracy they
need a strong and free press

Our Future Earth
- Hiya Purswani VIII B
We all know the present condition of our environment
around us Inspite of advanced and modern technolo-
gy we humans are still not able to find a solution
Early humans neither they had much technology nor
they had enough intelligence but still in the early ages
the environment was clean making it the reason for
the increasing life span of humans Its a shocking
news to know that the amount of plastic bottles pro-
duced now may lead to increase in plastic pollution
and cause several death
Its a great opportunity to be as a human in this beauti-
ful earth and so itrsquos our responsibility to make it
clean In monsoon people cut down trees to prevent
accidents to occur but do we plant trees in summer to
prevent more global warming We can prevent bad
things to happen but not cannot take that much efforts
for good things to spread Have you ever wondered
while seeing a tap open how many taps are left open
at the same time in the whole world It might sound
unbelievable there can be a World War III on water
land and fresh air The way we are thinking about the
wastage of water may lead us to a massive pain I trsquos
truly said by Warren Buffet sometimes to buy things
we need we have to sell things we do not need This
happens in the case of lacking of intelligence We say
every scholar is a true genius but in my opinion a per-
son is genius if he has the ability to save and change
things in his own way We all have the ability to save
this earth but our thoughts our ego and our greedi-
ness is stopping us to think in a better way rdquoEveryone
has a good and a bad side in his life What matters is
the part we choose to act upon rdquoThis is an excellent
thought said by Sirius Black in the movie Harry Pot-
ter Itrsquos time to bring a change
We always have time to do good things all we need is
hope Spreading awareness is the best idea to bring a
change If everyone stops thinking about their eco-
nomical needs and start contributing towards the envi-
ronment by planting more trees certainly there will be
a beneficial change in this world Neither do we think
about the future nor care about the present Why not
be an optimist and think in a positive way of life Our
studies our needs our knowledge will not help us in
any way if we donrsquot change Its not that easy to plant a
tree and care for it a whole year but if we only plant it
with all our love nature is certainly going to care for
it Lastly I would like to end with a quote Come
forth in the light of things nature will be your teach-
er
Endeavor
- Heet Shripal Kankariya VII-G
It is hard to recall the past
but good thoughts are forever
Remember the step you took
May it be stupid or clever
Though the time runs out
your hope should never
Dont lose ittry and endeavor
Do your best even if the conse-
quences make your work the worst
Try and try and make your work better
It is hard to recall the past
but good thoughts are forever
Remember the step you took maybe stupid or clever

The Aloof Humans - A curse to mother
earth - Vaijayanthimala Navneet VIII-J
With all the night strength and gust
Preserving nature is must
Mother Nature has been so lucrative
Letrsquos do something to save her
Something new and creativersquo
Let us get pollution under control
Before mother Earth weeps and implores
Let clean air sweep
Both high and deep
Let the tiny piece of land
Be clean tidy and neat
Let uncontaminated water be
So that everything doesnrsquot
end like the sea
Let the tree stand
lsquoCause it is more alluring than the seven colour band
Without being loquacious
Mother nature is indeed precious
The Little girl
- Bhumika Sharma VI-F
I found in a garage
Near the carriage
A tiny little baby girl
She had cute blue eyes
Which were very small in size
And had beautiful hair with a cute little curl
I wonder why she was there
And she came fromhellipwhere
I then asked a person passing on the road
If he knew the merciless who
kept her near the horses and
toads
The person replied ldquoWho cares
O Madamhellip
hellipFor a girl who is denied by her
dad and mum
I felt very sad and cried
But I saved her lest she died
Who will save many such girls
Imagine a world without these pearls
Treat them with respect and love
The Little Guest - Ashwathy Ganesh VI ndashD
It was rainy season
At home came a pigeon
It made its nest and was a pest
But there came another guest
Who shooed away the little pest
First there was nothing but a basket of twigs
And I watched it eating figs
When the thunder came with the rain
I got a bit scared
But it didnrsquot fly away
Because I took care
Soon there were three small
eggs
Which were taken care of by the guest
The bird is easy to guess
Because it doesnrsquot make a mess
With its red tail
It looked a bit frail
Between the plants green full full
Was the nest of the little Bulbul

The Art of Dharma as per Mahabharata
- Abhishek Singh [Teacher SrSecondary]
Dharma means the Duty or RighteousnessDharma is
subtle many times we are forced to take wrong
means for right means(and ends us like Arjuna in hell)
or reaches wrong ends following right means(like
Yudhishthira in exile)Its like the Ying and Yang
Duryodhanarsquos envy for the Pandvarsquos Indraprastha and
Yudhishthirarsquos greed or addiction to a game of dice
and win more territory was the main cause of war
The envy can result in healthy competitiveness raising
oneself up by making the envious work harder for
rivalrsquos possessions or eternal sickness to pull the rival
downThe envy and greed are both presents even in
the
modern day world the failure
of communism was caused by
envy among citizens while the
capitalist system is stranded by greed The aim of so-
ciety should not be to suppress these feelings among
its citizens but to channelize them productively Envy
is the vice of socialism Greed is the evil of capital-
ism
Dharma is not justice Its difference between Retribu-
tive Justice and forgiveness While a nation with
stronger legal laws can prefer justice over peace the
newly created or war-torn nations with weaker legal
laws should prefer to restore peace and harmony in
society rather than emphasizing justice
Beware You are in for a scare
- Ayush Lonakadi IX-C
I had returned home late but after reaching home I had
wished I had not reached home that day There was no
electricity which just made it creepier When I
reached my room my exhaustion made me forget that
I was famished I lay on the bed scrolling down pic-
tures I had recently clicked I relived happy moments
but someone out there wasnrsquot happy to see me happy
and I noticed a photograph in my phone which be-
mused me ndash not mentioning how frightened I had be-
come
The picture waswashow can I explain The back-
ground was of my house In the photoI was
sleeping Butbut how could that have been possi-
ble I lived alone there was no one to click my photo
while I was sleeping I was petrified with my eyes
wide open and my whole body was horror-struck
Then all the unwanted noises came into focus ndash the
noises from outside noises of something creaking and
the wind forcefully blowing through the thin slit of the
window eerily
I was panic-stricken I
quickly switched my
phone off and kept it on
the table beside and did
not bother about changing my clothes and covered my
face with a blanket and hugged it tightly I could not
even think of sleeping Every second the clock ticked
I hugged the blanket harder My face and chest were
drenched in sweat I felt some supernatural move-
ments around me something trying to reach out to
me
By then I was praying to God to take me away from
that place I was ready to die Then something hap-
pened and I became frantic from tip to toe lsquoIt is Tues-
day todayrsquo The virtual assistant of my phone said but
I clearly remembered that I had switched off my
phone Who asked the question It was this trauma
that I couldnrsquot bear and today I am here telling you
this story after turning into a roaming soul Look to
your right I am right beside you

Travelling Aaryan Aggarwal IX - B
Travelling is an experience It doesnrsquot matter where
you travel Every place is great in its own ways You
could go to a culturally rich yet underdeveloped place
or you could go to an advanced metropolitan place
You could travel slow paced or you could be adven-
turous and go off the beaten path You could go to the
beach you could go to a museum It wonrsquot matter as
wherever you go you will always get a new and
different experience The experiences will open your
mind to a whole new world and culture which will
change your understanding and preconceived notions
about that place You will also get an opportunity to
detoxify yourself from social media Thus I believe
that travelling is more than just a hobby and can
change your entire thought process and state of
mind
Wallflower
- Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
She lived under a rock
More by force than by will
She lived there so long
She had nothing to fight with
All these people pushing her down
Her feeble frame could fight no long
She vowed to never stop the struggle
Until she had on her temples the crown
Declaring to the world her change
after years bygone
From being the young shy girl they saw
But all this struggle slowly had her crumbling
As she withered her dreams fading
Cause promises are sometimes left undone
When fate decides to yield a gun
And the world never saw the light
Of a wallflower wishing to shine so bright
Being Myself -Nidhi Mishra VIII-G
I did never lie to myself
Never strived to be someone else
And so I never shy
To look myself straight in the eye
I did never hide myself
And lavish a priceless gift
Having lsquolifersquo as its spell
Being myself Irsquoll uplift
Life is too short
Donrsquot be someone else
A onetime offer we have got
Even more precious than a thousand jewels

Women Empowerment - Devangi Dongre VII-B
The abilities of women in making decisions educa-
tion and profession have been largely suppressed
since ages considering them inferior to men The sit-
uation is worst in underdeveloped and developing na-
tions where women in a family are not allowed to
take financial decisions or decide on matters regard-
ing their own educationWith such state of affairs it
would be a fallacy to dream about the goals of sus-
tainable development and gender equality There is an
instant need to take measures to lift the social
personal and professional
status of women bringing
them shoulder to shoulder
with men These particular
measures constitute a pro-
cess which is known as ldquoWomen Empowermentrdquo
Providing better education and employment opportu-
nities to women ensuring their better health provid-
ing justice and ensuring professional equivalence are
the few methods of women empowerment

- Aaryan Aggarwal IX-B
He looked from afar at his towering creation A re-
mote island in the Pacific Ocean seemed like a great
refuge after what had been happening on the Earth
He chose secrecy as his mission had raised many eye-
brows The plan was simple lsquoEscape and start overrsquo
Right now Moon seemed to be the most viable option
in terms of survival The research had been done
Moon was habitable So close to our abode our cos-
mic neighbor the Moon must exist for a reason It-
will not just be a secondary habitat but also be a step-
ping stone for further progress
His meticulously crafted plan was now just minutes
away from execution A team of four explorers would
first leave Earth and explore the Moon to test his hy-
pothesis Once a temporary col-
ony using genetically engi-
neered pods containing human
embryos is set up they would
further analyze the surroundings and find ways to
make it more habitable The lesser gravitational pull
which allowed for a comparatively lower escape ve-
locity made it easier to transport resources from the
Earth or the ISS Sure it would be difficult at first
Earth is unmatched but he knew it was for the greater
good of mankind It would mean more opportunities
and help us understand our place in this universe
Right now we have confined ourselves in a box and
this is the only way to leave it and unleash the won-
ders of the universe In front of his eyes it flew never
to come back

Make the Choice

Irsquom steady upon the decision
About which Irsquoll never disclaim
Accepting the outcome never blame
To impulse refer those achieves
Itrsquos your resolve donrsquot quit
There wasnrsquot any lose that grieves
There was just a lesson in it

In the decision of mine
I possess optimism in myself
And so I believe everything

To perceive ones way to success
A dose of victory isnrsquot enough

Television Pros and Cons
- Soumya Sheth
What do most of the people do these days to entertain
themselvesEveryone likes to switch ON their televi-
sion sets which is one of the exceptional inventions of
science When our Dads come home tired after office
the first thing they would like to do is switch On the
TV and relax while watching it from his sofa seat
This is because while watching different things that
are broadcasted on TV we forget our worries and re-
grets of the day
However like every good and popular inventions tel-
evision also has its set of some worrying habits that
people get hitched to For example sometimes kids
watch it for extensive time thereby affecting their
studies This is one of the most worrying habit for par-
ents and we should know that ignoring studies is not
good for our future and studying is as much important
for us at this tender age more than anything elseItrsquos
true that television can bring us the knowledge from
across the world We can see different parts of the
world virtually sitting at the same place But we
should know how
we can use this
incredible inven-
tion of science in
the right and bene-
ficial way for us Now-a-days Smart TVs have be-
come even more popular We can even use internet on
those TVs Use Google to search for answers we donrsquot
know use YouTube to understand how things are
made or get our doubts cleared and much much more
To summarize it I would like to urge all my fellow
students to use this precious invention of science in a
way that will benefit you to gain constructive
knowledge and avoid destructive knowledge We
should know that television is not the world but only a
small component of this world Please know that there
are other things in life which we should enjoy too
along with giving utmost importance to our studies

The night before the final examination
-Marisha Nath VIII- C
The night before the final examination appears to all
examinees as the night before the Battle of Waterloo
might have appeared to Napoleon or the Duke of Wel-
lington Our system of education being what it is we
examinees are bound to be anxious about the nature of
the nature of the questions we will have to answer
next day Even an earnest student who has done all
that needs be done by way of nervousness uncertainty
and suspense on the night before the examination The
morning of the examination finds them prostate with
nervous disorder
But this is one side the picture There are students
who may be described as soldiers of fortune They are
daredevil youngsters who do not take their examina-
tions seriously But their lack of preparation is more
than made up for by the short cuts or bazar notes they
have provided themselves with Even on the night
before the examina-
tion they would be
going about their
daily rounds They
may be found in the parks cafes and restaurants talk-
ing about tips ndashtalking glibly and confidently about
what questions are sure to come The morning of the
examination finds them as cheerful as they were on
the night before
What is needed most is self-confidence and a cool
head True we do not remember all that we have read
when we go to the Examination Hall This does not
mean that we have forgotten them Many things re-
main in the sub ndashconscious region They jump into
consciousness when we face the questions and seri-
ously think of the answers Often such answers score
more marks than prepared ones
Elegance
-Prajna VIII-D
Elegant you be for the universe to learn your versatility
Brighter you shine the orb will know your sustenance
The stars moons and clouds let know your dignity
Apparently it seems your flawless abundance
The ideal triumph mustnrsquot be exaggerated

Elegant you be for the universe to learn your versatility
How can you be silent if you donrsquot know your efficiency
One of the values to become successful is simplicity
Through elegance letrsquos spread positivist

Once I had been to the Chocolate Land
Chocolate all around to the reach of my hand
Toffees candies lollies and bars
In my mouth a crunchy munchy war
White dark nutty and sweet
Just like a dreamy treat
Colourful wrapper shiny and bright
Which one to choose which would be right
Houses made of chocolates and doors made of bars
And out stood there a chocolate car
Soon after it was 6 oclock
And could hear the doorrsquos knock
I woke up in a hurry
Just to realise that it was a dream

The ant and the elephant
- SOUMEN RAO IV-E
Once upon a time in a forest there lived an ant and an
elephant The elephant was the biggest among all the
elephants So he was very proud of himself and used
to criticize everyone and the ant which was the tiniest
among them was very happy and cheerful It used to
help everyone I its own way
All the animals in the forest used to complain about
the egoistic elephant So one day when the ant saw the
elephant walking towards it it immediately thought of
a plan As soon as the elephant came near the ant
said ldquoHello My friendrdquo but the elephant replied rude-
ly saying ldquoYou tiny
ant Get off my way
otherwise yoursquoll get
crushed to deathrdquo
Hearing this ant
challenged the elephant sayingrdquo My big friend I can
make you cryrdquo The ant quickly climbed onto the trunk
of the elephant and ran towards its earit went inside
the ear and started biting the elephants ear The ele-
phant tried to flap its ears but in vain After a few
minutes tears started rolling down its eyes It cried
ldquoPlease come out of my ear I canrsquot bear the painrdquo As
soon as the ant came out the elephant apologized for
its mistake and didnrsquot tease any animals from that day
Grandparents
-Aditya Patil VIII-E
The best place in vacation
A heaven like destination
Their love for us is endless
All their sacrifices are worthless
Great is their surrounding divinity
In front of our ordinary identity
To your grandparents never be rude
Because they are your
coolest dude
They yell at our parents
when we are shouted
With generosity and be-
nevolence they are bounded
Be sure to always meet your grandparents once in a
while and enhance yourself by their presence

Water Conservation
- Paarth Bhagat VII-J
Water is life If there was no water there would be no
life Hence water is the precious gift of God to mother
Earth We cannot imagine our lives without water
We human beings are made up of water it is the only
transportation medium that carries the food molecules
and oxygen to the cells of every body parts to help the
blood It signifies that water is the most essential in-
gredient to the functioning of life of every organism
So you see living this wonderful life is impossible
without water
Water is the force behind all the industry agriculture
manufacturing and trade and commerce All forms of
energy generation is done using water Be it hydroe-
lectrically projects or thermal power plant or nuclear
power plant water is
the key ingredient in
all of them There
would be no power
without water No
water no life
So it is our responsibility to conserve this life nectar
It is possible only through by changing our outlook
towards this wonderful natural resource We must en-
sure there is no pollution of water bodies by dumping
any waste such as sewage effluents and other toxic
substances We must also ensure there is no emission
of green-house gases into the atmosphere The people
and the government must ensure installation of efflu-
ents and smoke treatment plants at industrial garbage
and sewage units

The kind Fairies -Aditys Patil VIII-E
This story starts with two beautiful babies in a king-
dom called fairyland The babies were very pretty
Their names were Ovi and Riddhi They were growing
pretty well As they grew they became more and
more pretty Over and over they were also fairies and
within 5 years they became young girls Their mother
told them to go to school The girls askedwhere are
the schools There are no schools here Mother said
dont worry you will go to the planet Earth On the
planet Earth there is a very good school named New
Horizon Public School and the short form is nhps We
said ok On the first day of our school we were very
afraid but after a few days we
became more smart than the
others We were getting a lot of
prizes which we shared with
eveyone in the school This
made us and others happy One day We became the
princess of fairyland Our wings were like a rainbow
We were twins and had very long hairs Now I end
my story with a beautiful quote
ALWAYS HELP EACH OTHER LIKE THE
FARIES BECAUSE HELPING PEOPLE IS THE
PATH TO GOD
The Day Irsquoll Never Forget - Saranya Sarangi VII -
It was a day of love and affection
There was no visible sign of caution
But something unfortunate was going to happen
Nobody knew where and when
There was a blast at half past three
In a beauty land called Paradise On Earth
A complete silence and pity hadnrsquot the thee
Perished laid the martyrs
Whom our motherland gave birth
I still remember that scaring sight
The scattered limbs I couldnrsquot see
My heart got filled with grief and fright
No Indian could glee
Terribly writhing the soldiers were seen
Some families languished and some
were crying
So loyal to their country they had been
None of their families were mollifying
Whatever homage to our martyrs we pay
Tiny before their they lay
Salute to their tribute to motherland
To protect us they always walked hand in hand
Little Birdie - Marisha Nath VIII-C
I am a little birdie in the sky
With two wings to fly
I never disturb you
I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom
O human Then why do you steal my FREEDOM
Binding me alone in the cage makes me sad
Donrsquot you know caging a bird is bad
Looking at the sky
I wish I could fly
I never disturb you
I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom
O human Then why do you steal my
FREEDOM

Summers in India - Saranya Sarangi VIII
A hot season beginning from April till May is what we
call summer And thatrsquos the basic rule in India But
thatrsquos not something through which we can define
summers in our country India The sun shining high
above the head increasing the heat and this scorching
heat is something very unique about summers in India
Those ice-lolly stalls roaming down the streets tin-
kling their tiny bells is something special one will nev-
er find in any other country Many people love this
season
Especially the children as they get to eat ice-creams
Many people even donrsquot As they feel that this season
can only make a person dehydrated exhausted and irri-
tated Summer as we think as an unfruitful season is
contrast in reality Schools conduct summer camps
during vacation where stu-
dents can join different aca-
demic and co-curricular
courses to improve them-
selves Many children even spend time with their fami-
lies
Often families plan trips to different places as they get
a very long vacation during this season But now-a-
days due to increasing heat these pleasant summers
are becoming unbearable Every just sweat and sweat
We get a lethargic feeling not ready to do any work
Due to this heat we continually keep the ACs on which
consume a lot of electricity creating trouble for our
mother Earth and us Gradually that charm of the
unique kind of summers will be lost if precautions are
not taken We must really hope and work hard to bring
back our lovely lsquoSummers in Indiarsquo
Exams are good or bad
- Nupoor Teli VIIIndashI
In my humble opinionexams are apressure on the stu-
dents They are forced to study and score good
markswhich can lead to frustration An environmentof
competitivenessof standing first is created for which
students keep on studying day and night without any
recreation It is good to studybut not just for the sake
of gaining marks
Why do we study What is the main intention behind
education Seeking intersresting and fascinating
knowledge as well as facts about the world But now-a
-daysthe main reason for studying is gaining marks If
there are no marksno career andno success This is the
mindset of 70 people of the worldespecially parents
They pressurize their children so much that they get
depressed or sometimes attempt suicide as well
Every two months an exam is conducted Moreo-
verthere are projectssubject-enrichment activi-

of the cakewe have the semes-

well What all will the students
do And even if any extra-
curricular activities are being learntthen more extra

Why so much of tension on the children Under this
tension only they start cheating As time passes cheat-
ing becomes a habit of their life
I fell that exams should be conducted once a term in
order to evaluate whether the students are clear with
the concepts or notThey shouldnt be pressurized for
their marksbut should be made understand their mis-
takes Let them choose their own career options on
their own Help them knowwhat they like to study and
what they want to do in their life So dont pressurize
students for what they dont likeand encourage them in
what they do After allthey are only the Rising stars of

Life is magical - Piyush Sahoo VII-H
A new day or a new night
Everything in life seems bright
A new morning or a new evening
Life is full of happening
A life is just like a kite
It may disappear in a sight
Life moves from baby to old
Make your life challenging and bold
Enjoy life the fullest
Never accept less than best
Unlikely life comes to an end
But remember never to bend
Happy sadness victory and loss
Accept it the way it comes
Life can be at times tragical
But make it the most beautiful
Life is magicalhellip
Life is so magicalhellip
Humility -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
Humility is having a heart to treat others with respect
and love Considering people worthy of your love
time and efforts regardless of who they are or what
they have done A person is truly humble when they
are willing to work hard for others expecting nothing
in return
Humility has the power to change a personrsquos perspec-
tive towards life It can make a difference in the way a
person is looked upon by others Doing an act of hum-
bleness can make a personrsquos day Humility is about
not having an ego or considering things below your
dignity or considering yourself greater than others
People often confuse humility with self-respect They
canrsquot make out the difference between being useful to
others and being used by others
It takes courage to be humble
because in the era in which we
live humility is looked upon as
weakness People assume yoursquore not strong enough to
stand up for yourself They think you surrender in-
stead of protesting They will despise and scorn you
but they donrsquot know that you take pleasure in what
you do because they havenrsquot experienced that kind of
joy
So if you do have humility donrsquot draw back from it
because of what others think Whatever you are doing
is for the good of others and you have no need to be
ashamed of that Humbleness will spread from person
to person Who knows maybe your one act of humili-
ty will spread on to help a person in need So be brave
be humble
Mom -Tanvi Sawant VII-C
Oh mom I came to this beautiful world just because

Oh mom this world is incomplete
without you
Just like the sky without itrsquos bright color bluehellip
Oh mom yoursquore the candle that showed the way in the
dark
My dear mom you made my life spark

I am the EARTH - Deepashikha P VII F
Hello I am the Earth
For me I am the sweetest heart
I provide you with lots of stuff
With food and the mangoes that you love
I give you water soil and Sun
I am special as I am just one
But the humans living on me
Are making me dirty
They are cutting all the trees
And killing all the species helliphellip
They filling me with smoke and death
They are killing themselves
with lack of breath
I am the Earth
I am your mother
Make me the best by pol-
luting me less and less
And preventing my green dress
You can save water
you plant a tree
Make a better home for you on me
Recycle things donrsquot throw them awayhellip
MAKE EVERY DAY AN EARTH

OUR FUTURE EARTH - Hiya Purswani VIII-B
We all know the present condition of our environment
around us Inspite of advanced and modern technolo-
gy we humans are still not able to find a solution
Early humans neither they had much technology nor
they had enough intelligence but still in the early ages
the environment was clean making it the reason for
the increasing life span of humans Its a shocking
news to know that the amount of plastic bottles pro-
duced now may lead to increase in plastic pollution
and cause several death Its a great opportunity to be
as a human in this beautiful earth and so its our re-
sponsibility to make it clean In monsoon people cut
down trees to prevent accidents to occur but do we
plant trees in summer to prevent more global warm-
ing We can prevent bad things to happen but not can-
not take that much effort for good things to spread
Have you ever wondered while seeing a tap open how
many taps are left open at the same time in the whole
world It might sound unbelievable there can be a
World War III on water land and fresh air The way
we are thinking about the wastage of water may lead
us to a massive pain Itrsquos truly said by Warren Buffet
sometimes to buy things we need we have to sell
things we do not need This happens in the case of
lacking of intelligence We say every scholar is a true
genius but in my
opinion a person is
genius if he has the
ability to save and
change things in his
own way We all have the ability to save this earth
but our thoughts our ego and our greediness is stop-
ping us to think in a better way Everyone has a good
and a bad side in his life What matters is the part we
choose to act upon This is an excellent thought said
by Sirius Black in the movie Harry Potter Itrsquos time to
bring a change We always have time to do good
things all we need is hope Spreading awareness is the
best idea to bring a change If everyone stops thinking
about their economical needs and start contributing
towards the environment by planting more trees cer-
tainly there will be a beneficial change in this world
Neither do we think about the future nor care about
the present Why not be an optimist and think in a
positive way of life Our studies our needs our
knowledge will not help us in any way if we donʼt
change Its not that easy to plant a tree and care for it a
whole year if we only plant it with all our love nature
is certainly going to care for it Lastly I would like to
end with a quoterdquo Come forth in the light of things
nature will be your teacher
The Small Hours Pranjal Anil Chavan V-C
No more my little song Come back
And now of nights I lay my head on down
to watch the black
And wait the unfailing gray
Oh Sad are winter nights and slow
And sad is a song thatrsquos dumb
And sad it is to lie I know
Another dawn will come

Floods and Destruction
- Nirvi Soni IV-H
India faces occurrence of floods each year in some
parts of Assam during the rainy season Water of river
Brahmaputra rises and enters into many villages
causing great destruction Floods are unavoidable but
we need to take precautions in the following ways by
reducing mining activities building dams growing
more trees etc During floods the weather becomes
wet and gloomy Trees and plants get uprooted This
way floods cause great de-
struction to both life and
property It also becomes dif-
ficult to travel from place to
place Many people are left
homeless The rain water should be harvested and
stored in large storage tanks The harvested rainwater
can be used for washing clothes and cleaning By us-
ing rain water in our daily life we can preserve water
resources
Good Morning Everyone -Vyomi ThakkarVI - H
Come with me wersquoll have some fun
Wersquoll go on a walk
Donrsquot worry will have a great talk
Roaming around the ground
With beautiful birdrsquos sound
We donrsquot know if anything will be found
Wersquoll surely find the crown
Up on the chilled mountain
We saw a beautiful fountain
Surrounded by a beautiful castle
Decorated with the colourful tassel
Just be quiet and keen
Soon you will be the queen
Think before you speak
-Shravya Atreya IX-D
Think before you speak
There are hearts you must please
Think before you speak
You canrsquot undo the harm done after you squeak
Think before you speak
You might have done greater harm than you might
think
Think before you speak
There are still places left for you
to seek
Think before you speak
There is a long way to go before
you sleep
Think before you speak
There are hearts you must
please
Sunrise -Anuradha Singh VII-H
Over the glimmering purple sea
Under the golden sun rise

A sparrow sways upon a tree
staring at his own in the
enamelled sea
Everything is fine
With fading stars and rising light

GLOBAL WARMING - Adhyant Singh VII-F
Global warming refers to the steady rise in the Earthrsquos mean temperature The effect of global
warming had come into sight when polar ice caps started melting this phenomena is called ICE ndash
ALBEDO the ice caps melt faster due to the rise in the temperature This sudden rise in the temperature near
the poles began in 1999 The polar ice caps in Antarctica melt at the rate of 400000000000 tons per year ac-
cording to some scientists it would approximately take 5000 years to melt the total ice on earth In 2013 Inter-
governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) stated that the main cause of Global warming is human inter-
vention like emission of Green house gases like Carbon-Di-Oxide nitrous oxide and methane
These gases trap the heat which is reflected by the Earthrsquos surface thus increasing the temperature and also
destroying the ozone layer which prevents the ultraviolet rays of the sun from reaching the earthrsquos surface Al-
so burning fossil fuel contributes to the problem Effects of global warming have also led to the increase in the
sea level and extreme weather like heat waves and change in the regional pattern of precipitation and the ex-
pansion of desserts A concentrated and focused effort by the entire humanity can curb down the impact of
Global warming and also prevent it Planting more trees to control the amount of carbon-di-oxide eliminating
the use of chlorofluorocarbon or (CFCrsquoS) are a few steps All the countries have signed up with the United Na-
tions Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to prevent the doomsday of Earth So to prevent
earthrsquos doomsday we all must work together
Itrsquos not too late there is still timehellipBefore the earth ends and we whinehellipSo keep on marching and planting
greens To end Global Warming and Make our planet greenhellip
What will happen without Instagram

Instagram Instagram Instagram
I was hearing it from everyone
I asked who was the inventor
Nobody knew the answer to my question
Mobiles Mobiles Mobiles
I was able to see them everywhere
I asked who was the inventor
Again nobody was aware
I wondered why was it like so
Why is it they donrsquot know
There was one time we were
engrossed in books
Now we care more about our looks
Instagram wonrsquot give you a job
You will have to study and top
Your fellow followers wonrsquot help either
If you donrsquot have a job no one will bother
I am a tree

I give you fruits
I give you medicine
I give you wood
I need some sunlight
And some fresh air

The Night - Matangi Rajesh VII-D
Its the night
The moon is white
When we switch off the light
What a beautiful sight
After this comes the sun bright
There is no more artificial light
This is the time to start your diet
To go for a run wearing tights
Then comes the evening when
you have snacks light
And fly a big colorful kite
or include your sibling in a pillow fight
Again comes the night
A moon which is white
We switch off the light
A beautiful sight

Hyperloop -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
Human inventions have baffled the world They are
innumerable ranging from revolutionizing
smartphones to not-so-breathtaking ice cream cones
but they play a role in our life just the same The
things which are commonplace to us now were unbe-
knownst to people once upon a time For the people of
the 19th century the car was a thing of the future until
in 1885 Karl Benz ran his first car on the road Then
for centuries people took the prospect of of flying like
the birds as only a wild possibility which was made
possible in 1903 when the Wright Brothers flew the
first plane
What is the thing of the future for us Well we are the
future modifying and bettering the things that have
been made and crating stuff that we didnt even dare
to imagine about The Hyperloop fulfills both aspects
of the definition a very advanced model of our faith-
ful train and yet a brand new idea to scale greater
heights The Hyperloop is an ideal mode of efficient
transport Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane
with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing
speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt have to
ace the two types of friction that every other vehicle
has to face Air resistance and ground friction The
pods of the Hyperloop are propelled through a depres-
surized tub Since it is almost vacuum very little air
resistance can be offered inside the tube Due to this
the energy required to travel is also very less The Hy-
perloops unique technology uses magnetic levitation
to guide and lift the pods of the rail Since the pod is
not in contact with the ground there is no friction act-
ing on itThe first Hyperloop ndash virgin Hyperloop one
is set to run with passengers as early as 2021 and is
created by SpaceX and Tesla
The mastermind behind the Hyperloop is Elon Musk
who first published a 58 page white-paper on the web-
site of his company-Space X It was available to all
and was titled Hyperloop alpha The Hyperloop may
be the pioneer of a whole new era of transportation
traveling a distance which would otherwise take 12
hours in just I hour it has crossed all known bounda-
ries and created higher limits for us to reach and reach
we must for when time is money and money is time
an option that saves both needs to be used
Exams are good or bad -Nupoor Teli VIII
In my humble opinion exams are pressure on the stu-
dents They are forced to study and score good marks
which can lead to frustration An environment of com-
petitiveness of standing first is created for which stu-
dents keep on studying day and night without any rec-
reation It is good to study but not just for the sake of
gaining marks
Why do we study What is the main intention behind
education Seeking interesting and fascinating
knowledge as well as facts about the world But now-a
-days the main reason for studying is gaining marks
If there are no marks no career and no success This
is the mindset of 70 people of the world especially
parents They pressurize their children so much that
they get depressed or sometimes attempt suicide as
wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-
ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities
chapter test after every topic notebookfile submis-
sion etc And as cherry on top of the cake we have the
semester exams of eighty marks as well What all will
the students do And even if any extra-curricular ac-
tivities are being learnt then more extra studies Just
study study and study
Why so much of tension on the children Under this
tension only they start cheating As time passes cheat-
ing becomes a habit of their lifeI fell that exams
should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate
whether the students are clear with the concepts or
not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but
should be made understand their mistakes Let them
choose their own career options on their own Help
them know what they like to study and what they want
to do in their life So dont pressurize students for
what they dont like and encourage them in what they
do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the
country

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B
Life is all about interactions You meet people and
you interact You observe them consciously or sub-
consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us
more than we even realise Some people leave a last-
ing impression on us and entirely change the course of
life for better or for worse Some people influence us
help us go further and make all the difference
I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-
tial people They have taken care of me ever since I
came into this world They are the ones who wish the
best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-
cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel
no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-
come a part of my personality They are the ones who
helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me
to be better
When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are
the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-
takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique
learning experience It has made me realise how eve-
rything they do has a reason They are the ones who
have taught me the importance of the little things in
life They are the ones who have helped me recognize
and follow my passion The very thought of them not
being a part of my life is scary to the least as without
them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am
today and whatever I have achieved is all because of
them and I am very grateful of that
Eyesight
-Aditi Shenoy VIII-F
The tired little girl went to bed
Recollecting the days bygone
Seeing them in her dreams
As the day she was born
Trying to see the world
With her little eyes
But the sun with his brightness
Wouldnt let her catch the sights
The girl still eager
And curious to see the world around her
Again opened her eyes
But her vision was blurred
Still she did not lose hope
Which flowed through her blood
Encouraging and pushing her
To see the world further
Her heart beating fast
Her enthusiasm increasing
She slowly tried to see
With her eyes continuously blinking
Starting to lose hope
She was ready to give up
But curiosity got the upper hand
And pushed her forward
With her hope again rising
and strength in her eyesight
She is finally seeing the world
With wide open eyes

Conquering the space
-Marisha Nath VIII-C
ldquoThere is no failure in Science it is only continual
effort to conquer the unknown On the way even if we
face failure it rather adds more value to our effort for
our next journey to know the unknownrdquo
Chandrayan-2 Indiarsquos Moon Mission The dream of
entire India to land on moon and become the 4th Na-
tion in the world to put its flag on the soil of moon
after USSR USA amp China
ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launched
Chandrayan-2 on 22nd July 2019 from Bengaluru
(Satish Dhawan Space Center) under the command of
ISRO chief K Shivan It consists of ORBITER
LANDER amp Lunar Rover PRAGYAN Like Chandra-
yan-1(22nd Oct2008) it was Indiarsquos indigenous moon
mission
It touched the Moon Surface on Saturday early morn-
ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-
ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-
ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of
moon it lost contact with the ground station Because
of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be
monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m
(approx) away from its assigned location near
SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still
orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange
signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it
The ORBITER which will remain active for another
12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-
owed portion of the moon for the first time in history
with the help of its high-resolution camera
The entire Nation irrespective of their field of
knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front
of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of
VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true
Indians who always dream progress and development
of their motherland But our heart never accepts this
as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement
for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-
pose of our mission
But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at
this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring
country quoting this as a big failure on part of India
blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos
money on this
Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will
be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to
this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other
nations on such missions
Further I should say that India is not new in the field
of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-
TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975
It was named after famous scientist of ancient India
ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested
for the first time the HELIOCENTRIC THEORY
(Sun at the center and all planets revolve around the
Sun) of the Solar System much earlier than ready for
New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 57
COPERNICUS as believed in the western world
Other countries might have moon on their flags but
we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is
great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are
whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-
rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is
only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the
unknown and its continual application for the benefit
of the mankind)rdquo
Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by
various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-
PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-
cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958
onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as
46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was
attempted out of which only 21 was successful
Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-
tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the
overall attempts conducted by other Nations
USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-
NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was
planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January
SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR
successfully on moon
NASA after many attempts was successful to send
first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th
July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk
on moon
Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-
clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-
SION MANGAL for our next moon mission

ldquoMicro changes in Life can bring Macro Transformationrdquo
Children should be taught to think We should help them to unfold their imaginations and give life to

spectrum of creative skills This I believe is the strongest factor for success in raising his self esteem
amp the most overwhelming key to a childrsquos success is the attitude by parents by giving the space to the
child and not comparing them to others ldquoThe secret of getting ahead is getting startedrdquo So why not
give them a jumpstart from the grass root level itself

ldquo What you are is Godrsquos gift to you What you become is your gift to God ldquo
Language is one of Godrsquos greatest gift to humans given for the purpose of sharing ideas with others
Without leaving our chairs we can go to all parts of the world We mediate on the wonders of creation
But without the gift of language we would be limited in the ways we can share these ideas Words help
us let others know what we are feeling how much we care or how our hearts are filled with awe and

The destiny in my hands - Aaryan Aggarwal IX-B
Destiny The word means the inevitable fate or some
events that will necessarily happen to some person in
the future It is however a notion and not a proven
fact as obviously no one can see the future People
believe that what destiny says is the ultimate truth and
absolutely nothing can change it However I beg to
differ as while it may be inevitable it will not neces-
sarily be completely unchangeable To give an exam-
ple a person born into a poor family may believe that
his destiny is poverty and nothing else
However with enough efforts and determination he
she may grow up to be very successful This has led
me to believe that destiny is not any actual power or
anything that can affect our future Rather it is a state
of mind that sometimes may lead to demotivation
This happens because success has never come without
failures In failures we tend to lose
positivity and start becoming nega-
tive and their mindset towards life all
-in-all becomes negative This is
where we begin to believe that this is what destiny had
in store for us and this is exactly what we are going to
get With this preconceived notion people often lose
interest or even give up entirely However since desti-
ny is a figment of a personrsquos mind it can be modified
as and when required
Thus believing in destiny and hoping that the hard-
ships that you have faced are all part of a bigger plan
will give you the motivation to do better and improve
Thus I believe that destiny while not being real to
some extent can change the course of a personrsquos life
Destiny is not unchangeable the power to do so lies in
your very hands

Self Confidence
Anirudh Shetti VI B
Self Confidence is an attitude that allows you to move
forward and achieve your goals Self confidence
means believing in yourself It is an ability that makes
the human believe in himself For example Tim was a
boy who had a stage fear One day he was selected for
the assembly as a reporter On the day of assembly
Tim was very scared to go on the stage Then he
thought about Self confidence Long ago his mother
said him that if a person has Self confidence he can
cross away all the difficulties in his life So at that
time Tim forgot all the fear and became a self confi-
dent boy
On assembly he reported beautifully and he was the
best reporter in the assembly There are some more
other positives like positive thinking concentration
good manners being kind etc Like Theodore Roose-
velt said ldquoEach time we face fear we gain strength
courage and confidence in the doingrdquo I will conclude
my article with this quote ldquoBelieve in yourself and
you will be unstoppablerdquo
Pencil
-Aadya Agarwal V
Once I was drawing with a pencil
But to draw proper shape I need a stencil
I was using a pencil to write a phrase
I wrote it wrong then the teacher said ldquoErase Eraserdquo
I lost my pencil
But it was with my friend Jencil
With that pencil I drew a triangle and a rectangle
But I was not able to find its angle
In English I had to complete punctuation marks
With help of that pencil James drew many sharks
In science there was a chemical blast
My teacher said ldquopencilrsquos life is very vastrdquo
Once more I lost my pencil
It was stuck in my hair
Once again i lost my pencil
But this time it was lost in a fair

Taras intelligence
- Pritika Manohar kadam VIII ndashD
Once upon a time there lived a couple near the town
They were just married and expected a child After a
year they had twins Both were charming Their
names were Yash and Tara
Tara was expected to do the household work and
Yash was to go to school and do a job Tara was an
very intelligent girl so she used to take her brothers
old books and study on her own
One fine day she asked her brother Why every time
I have to do the household work and not study like
you Her brother asked many people but got a com-
mon answer that girls are not meant to study
So both of them decided to ask their father He gave a
confusing answer that if Tara wants to go to school I
can help her to learn and write but which school will
give her admission I cant fight for one girl
She understood what he meant so Tara had an idea
about that She gathered her friends and told them the
importance of education
Next day she gathered them and
went to her father and said you
wont help one girl (me) so can
you help us to study Her father was impressed by her
intelligenceHe took them to the principal who was
his friend and requested him several times about the
admission of the girls
At last one day he agreed to take the admission of
those girls They started going to school everyday
The problem was all the people were frustrated They
used to throw garbage near their house and also say
abusing words Also stop the ways of the girls for
going to school
They also took the house of Tara and Yash They
used to live in a hut with those girls as well
The people used to throw stones on them The girls
did not lose their hopes and studied hard All those
after many years started working in office
The people were proud afterwards and they started a
girls school They gave back house of Yash and Tara
The ordeal to say a lsquogoodbyersquo
-Nidhi Mishra VIII-G
Together we laughed
Together we wept
Myriad fond impressions We kept
Jointly we danced like daisy
We didnrsquot bother about others
We chuckled like crazy
Concerning about the fussy was tempestuous
Together we were scintillating
We were engrossed in
Our cackles were uplifting
Something was sinister I remained keen
That gloominess was undesirable
Not you but our disunion was near
Our parting was lamentable
The distance between us was my fear
Our disunion was forthcoming
I wished I could quit it
Tears from our eyes were running
With those yet we had to split
Years had flown by
Not the echo
The ordeal to say a
lsquogoodbyersquo
And to lose a loyal oppo

My dream House
-Harshith Nair IX-B
Voila I have shifted to my new house
Away from those lizards and that cunning mouse
That was once a basic and simple house
Now canrsquot get over the whoaas and wowws
Ancient doors and artefacts with a palatial tinge
Enter and you would feel yoursquove got wings
Vintage artefacts and interiors add to the glam

A gramophone an antique
telephone that take you to an

To me and my brotherrsquos surprise therersquos an excit-

I hate boasting but this onersquos the icing on the

Friendship
-Divya Johnson VIII ndash I
Friendship has no form
sometimes it makes us feel secure and warm
Sometimes leaves us cold and forlorn
and sometimes gives us the power to go on
We mistake it often for something materializing
but itrsquos free and artistic
It is hard to catch
no other virtue has its match
Indomitable Earth - Poorvi Sanu IX ndashG
Our global crisis has created a cure
No A treatment for what is in the store
New seasons simmer shorelines bore
Plastics not fake its sweet
Everlasting a love we adore
Are you sure
Intestinal hurdle artwork framed
Mammals fattened by unnatural floating
Wild material machine Unseen
Where does your waste ream
What can I do
It takes more than
one It takes society
Globally to do what
needs to be done
Our footprint is mas-
sive weighty
Join Mother Earth
On our journey here and abroad
Full of disbelief and open scorn
Itrsquos worth the attempt to help her adorn
To help her heal her sores prevent more welts

Travelling via train -Aditya Patil VIII-E
Travelling is a prominent and a fun-learning activity of
our life It introduces us to new people their culture
and enhances skills that are essential in our lives
Travelling gives a wonderful experience to the travel-
ers especially by train I am being so sight to write the
essay lsquocause guess what ldquoI AM TRAVELLING IN
THE BUMPY TRAINrdquo hearing the quarrels for seats
with the bumps of the train
Train to me is the most favourite mode of transport for
long journeys I am sure even others love travelling via
train inspite of the long journey and time But if its
with families or with bachelor friends therersquos no one
stopping them from being happy During travelling we
also get familiar to stops during the journey where
people get off and enter This introduces us to the cul-
ture of those regions
and thatrsquos what makes our
India famous and legend-
ary We also get to eat
those India-famous snacks
from all over India like lsquoShehgaon kachorirsquo lsquo Kol-
hapuri misalrsquo and I would stop here or else I know
your mouth is watering and you wanna eat this
This is what travelling is It increases our general
knowledge as we get across so many new things Trav-
elling by train is much more affordable than aero-
planes where we just have to sit and enjoy the luxury
Travelling will also introduce you to all kinds of peo-
ple like the innocent ones the fighters the caring ones
who surrender themselves for you and sometimes the
people you know So to enjoy these beautiful moments
of life travel once or twice a year to refresh your-
selves
Control Yourself - Suvan Lokhande IX-A
Controlling yourself is something great that you have
achieved in your whole life Controlling a particular
thing with which you get addicted is a big thing Dur-
ing puberty children get addicted to various bad things
such as food mobile TV or maybe food
ldquoControl Yourself Kidrdquo ldquoDone not more than
thisrdquo ldquoControlrdquo such types of sentences maybe
familiar to you which must be said by your mom dad
teachers and your elders But thatrsquos exactly true what
they say I know that itrsquos difficult to leave a particular
thing with which you get addicted But still if you
leave it certainly this can make an impact in your life
I mean to say that leave only bad things and not the
good things like reading or studying Believe it every-
thing is possible in this whole world If Neil Arm-
strong can go to moon then why cannot you leave your
bad habit Lets take an example a
boy who likes to eat a lot he may
like to eat Chinese Continental
Asian and whatever But you must
take care of your fitness too We can
eat whatever we want but in a limit
If you start practicing such good practices you can
surely be the one who has changed his whole life to a
certain life
And these changes can definitely make you proudAt
last my opinions may have some differences but eve-
ryday we get to learn something from our daily experi-
ences And I truly believe that if we make a decision
and start opting it in our daily life we can surely our-
selves make a change in our whole life At last I con-
vey that you need to control yourself and follow this
motto in your lifehelliphellipControl Yourself amp Be the
Change

Anger Management
- Sfurti Kumbhar IX-A
AngerhellipThe worst of emotions It causes a LOT of
problems Like damaged friendships separated fami-
lies to list a few The list is long But as many people
have tried and failed controlling anger can be impos-
sible at times when the little fuse in your brain blows
off Let us discuss controlling anger today
Basically anger management seems and sounds im-
possible But as it turns out it isnrsquot Itrsquos really simple
To be honest I am a cranky person Even the slightest
bit of annoying thing or the face of an irritating person
blows my fuse off So well yeah Irsquom trying to get it
under control Sort of
Impossible right Managing anger sounds easy You
can distract yourself from the situation Permanently
fix an imaginary meter in your brain which indicates
anger level My meter is always near 50-60 When I
say that Irsquom a cranky person you can see that I mean
it
As I was saying the meter Anytime you feel that the
meter is rising just find some ways to control it Like
the classic ldquodrink cool water to cool down your warm
headrdquo or breathe Listen to your fav music Or ask
yourself this simple question
ldquoIs getting angry at this person or screaming at them
going to improve my day in any way whatsoeverrdquo
If the answer is yes go ahead Scream all that you
want at the person and improve your day But if the
answer is no STOP yourself in time Maybe make
yourself an anger dice Or breathe in Out And may-
be the classic as mentioned above
Frankly these ways have helped me to reduce my
ldquofuse blowing offrdquo times since grade 4 Anger may be
one of the smartest issues but we are smarter
You are a masterpiece - Tisha Gangar VIII-A

Monsoon -Isha Bhanushali VIII
The most alluring part in monsoon season is the way
people tackle them Every where you scan people are
struggling back to reach their home back safely and it
indeed gives you a sense of achievement when you
reach home without getting drained by the gushing
water the automobiles blow on youWell my case is a
little bit different Every time I attempt not to step in-
side the puddle the next step will certainly be inside
it
It was raining heavily that day and unlike my usual
days it was a special one I got dispersed from my
classes by 600 and not aware about the conditions
outside I stepped outside expecting my van to pick
me up Suddenly there was gloomy all around and
there was silence everywhere (huh Because the light
went off) and to add insult to injury I got a call from
my Sir that the van will be com-
ing 1 hour late
I after a while made up my
mind I will set out and go on
my ownI took my umbrella and set out with my
friend The roads were all muddy and the water
reached up to my ankle The situation got testified as
it started raining heavily We all expected the rain to
stop after a while but it was adamant throwing its
tantrums on us All over the road there were vehicles
parked and there was no way to move
But not giving up we carried forward to reach our des-
tination After a long tiring journey of 1km (which
took us almost 1hr) we reached our home safely I had
a feeling of accomplishing a big feat that day
But the climax is here
I had to listen to my Moms scolding
Yes because I had stepped inside a big puddle

Man Woman and Equality Poorvi Sanu IX-G
Why are women considered inferior to men Why is
it so Even in the olden days gender inequality was
very common
Sati widows shravana shraddha managala gaur
akshaya tritiya child marriage karva chauthhellip
etcetera etcetera etceteraWhat do these words re-
mind you of Yep Thatrsquos right These are all systems
for women
These are sacrifices and systems that women perform
for their better halves So that their spouses have a
long and safe life But what do these spouses do in
return Discriminate these women Consider them
inferior I think that only about 15 of men give
equal opportunities and rights to women
This number is increasing no doubt but then this is a
slow processMen work approximately 6 ndash 8 hours a
day Women on the other hand work at least 16
hours a day Yet men get salary and women in some
cases donrsquot
To all the men and boys reading this I have a few
questions for youDo you have the guts to perform all
housework with 5 guests in the house Do you have
enough courage to change your sur-
name after marriage Do you have
the guts to leave your ancestral home
where you have lived for at least 23
years Are you ready to be dominated
by women More importantly are you ready to listen
to pungent words from your mother-in-law And of
course do you guys have courage to bear a child for 9
months and 9 days and give birth and nurture the ba-
by
Giving birth is simultaneous to fracturing 20 ndash 21
bones at once Did men know this And yet they con-
sider women weak They think that because wersquore
women we cannot thinkIf we cannot think who is
Marie Curie If we are weak who delivers kids
Women arenrsquot any different They are children of
gods They arenrsquot your personal secretaries they are
your partnersOnly a woman knows how much suffer-
ing women go through And yet women are discrimi-
nated daily
What women want is love and respect They work
hard for it they toil day and night and what they get
ishellipabsolutely nothing
Is this right
Submission to Peer Pressure -Akshat Mishra IX -G
ldquoHey Mohan When did you get this new iPhone-Xrdquo
we asked him in surprise as we knew the financial
condition of his family ldquoMy cousin gifted it to merdquo
quipped Mohan sheepishly All the boys resumed
playing but I knew there was something amissPeer
pressure is becoming increasingly inevitable amongst
teenagers One may argue that it is a part of human
nature It may be pivotal for a human being but its
darker side is certainly the more powerful one
People are easily succumbing to peer pressure without
realising its consequences Just to gain respect in
someonersquos eyes they are even ready to quarrel with
their parents and ward their attention from their nec-
essary activities A recent survey suggested that the
maximum people in a rave are a group of teenagers
The clutches of peer pressure are so strong that people
arenrsquot being able to listen even to their conscience
The youth mostly is just littering around the streets
smoking cigarettes boozing or becoming a victim to
social networks sites like Facebook or Instagram Hu-
man resource is the most valuable resource that we
have and the youth are supposed to replenish this re-
source not just to become egoists The are the future
of the planet but sadly they arenrsquot forging the path for
mankind that they are supposed to
Hopefully there is some resistance against this social
evil in modern days Such people have sworn to stay
adamant and not stray from the rightful path These
days of hope do believe in working for the greater
good and are spreading awareness and showing the
society that peer pressure is deleterious sort individual
growth and well being

ldquoFreedom of Press in Democracyrdquo
- Poorvi Sanu IX-G
A free press and a free judiciary are two very important
cornerstones of a democracy Especially in the modern
era of widely accessible news and innumerable infor-
mation at our fingertips freedom of press is highly valued
liberty that citizens should be aware of and know the rea-
son why it is given to us as Indians Freedom means those
people who state the liberty or right and privileged to
speak according to their will
Freedom is that opportunity which we should never avoid
and in all bad situations it gives us all right to handle the
problems in our own innovative and thoughtful way Press
and media are the vital way to express and speech some
views and opinions in a democratic country It is the me-
dium of expressing an opinion of the people It justifies
the individual right to speech and expression a coveted
right enshrined in the Indian constitution and the law of
other countries on the globe
The importance of freedom of press lies in the fact that
for most citizens the prospect of personal familiarity with
newsworthy events is unrealistic In seeking out news the
media therefore acts for the public in large it is the means
by which people receive free flow of information and ide-
as which is essential to intelligence self-governance that
is in turn democracy For a proper functioning of democ-
racy it is essential that
citizens are informed
about news from vari-
ous parts of the coun-
try and even abroad because only then can they form ra-
tional opinions A citizen surely cannot be expected per-
sonally to gather news to enable him or her to form such
opinions Hence the media plays an important role in a
democracy and serves as an agency of the people to gath-
er news for them
It is for this reason that freedom of press has been empha-
sised in all democratic countries while it was not permit-
ted in feudal or totalitarian regimes
In India the media have a great responsibility also to see
that the news they present is accurate and serve the inter-
est of the people If the media convey false news that may
harm the reputation of a person or a section of society it
may do a great damage since reputation is a valuable asset
for a person
Even if the media subsequently correct a statement the
damage done may be irreparable Hence the media should
take care to carefully investigate any news item before
carefully reporting it
I know of a case were the photograph of a High Court
judge who was known to be upright was shown on a TV
New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 22
channel along with that of a known criminal The alle-
gation against the judge was that he had acquired the
land not in any discretionary quota but in the open
market at the market priceAlso sometimes the media
present twisted or distorted news that may contain an
element of truth but also an element of untruth This
too should be avoided because a half-truth can be
more dangerous than a total lie The media should
avoid giving any slant to news and avoid sensational-
ism and yellow journalism Only then will they gain
the respect of the people and fulfil their true role in a
democracySome newspapers espouse the cause of
only one community
ldquoThey do not judge problems on their merits They
view problems from a communal angle Such newspa-
pers do disservice to the nation On the other hand
some responsible newspapers exercise great restraint
while reporting news about riots between two commu-
nities They never give the identity of the community
which started the riot If there are any casualties they
do not give a community-wise break up lest this
should trigger off a bigger riot
In India most of the newspapers are controlled by
business magnates Such newspapers therefore pro-
mote the interest of the capitalists by given tainted
news They pay no heed even to the genuine prob-
lems of the worker^ farmers artisans and other
weaker sections of the people
The press is the defender and the protector of the
rights and liberties of the people But it can per-
form this role only if it enjoys freedom in publish-
ing news views and reporting It can function ef-
fectively only in an open society where decisions are
made in a democratic manner The press should not be
scared of influential people The press should consider
it their duty to protect the right of the workers and oth-
er downtrodden sections of the people
While the press should enjoy freedom to perform its
role effectively it should not treat such freedom as a
licence to defame anybody It should not publish any
views or support any movement which violates our
Constitution or is against the territorial integrity and
unity of the country
To the conclusion As the worldrsquos largest democracy
India has a duty to ensure that the press has the duty to
disseminate information and express opinions without
excessive censorship Unfortunately in recent years
the right has been increasingly curbed This oppres-
sion of press is an alarming trend as it does not allow
for proper checks and balances on the government and
its activities The people of our country need to re-
member that in order to have a strong democracy they
need a strong and free press

Our Future Earth
- Hiya Purswani VIII B
We all know the present condition of our environment
around us Inspite of advanced and modern technolo-
gy we humans are still not able to find a solution
Early humans neither they had much technology nor
they had enough intelligence but still in the early ages
the environment was clean making it the reason for
the increasing life span of humans Its a shocking
news to know that the amount of plastic bottles pro-
duced now may lead to increase in plastic pollution
and cause several death
Its a great opportunity to be as a human in this beauti-
ful earth and so itrsquos our responsibility to make it
clean In monsoon people cut down trees to prevent
accidents to occur but do we plant trees in summer to
prevent more global warming We can prevent bad
things to happen but not cannot take that much efforts
for good things to spread Have you ever wondered
while seeing a tap open how many taps are left open
at the same time in the whole world It might sound
unbelievable there can be a World War III on water
land and fresh air The way we are thinking about the
wastage of water may lead us to a massive pain I trsquos
truly said by Warren Buffet sometimes to buy things
we need we have to sell things we do not need This
happens in the case of lacking of intelligence We say
every scholar is a true genius but in my opinion a per-
son is genius if he has the ability to save and change
things in his own way We all have the ability to save
this earth but our thoughts our ego and our greedi-
ness is stopping us to think in a better way rdquoEveryone
has a good and a bad side in his life What matters is
the part we choose to act upon rdquoThis is an excellent
thought said by Sirius Black in the movie Harry Pot-
ter Itrsquos time to bring a change
We always have time to do good things all we need is
hope Spreading awareness is the best idea to bring a
change If everyone stops thinking about their eco-
nomical needs and start contributing towards the envi-
ronment by planting more trees certainly there will be
a beneficial change in this world Neither do we think
about the future nor care about the present Why not
be an optimist and think in a positive way of life Our
studies our needs our knowledge will not help us in
any way if we donrsquot change Its not that easy to plant a
tree and care for it a whole year but if we only plant it
with all our love nature is certainly going to care for
it Lastly I would like to end with a quote Come
forth in the light of things nature will be your teach-
er
Endeavor
- Heet Shripal Kankariya VII-G
It is hard to recall the past

Remember the step you took
May it be stupid or clever
Though the time runs out

Dont lose ittry and endeavor

Try and try and make your work better
It is hard to recall the past
but good thoughts are forever
Remember the step you took maybe stupid or clever

The Aloof Humans - A curse to mother
earth - Vaijayanthimala Navneet VIII-J
With all the night strength and gust
Preserving nature is must
Mother Nature has been so lucrative
Letrsquos do something to save her
Something new and creativersquo
Let us get pollution under control
Before mother Earth weeps and implores
Let clean air sweep
Both high and deep
Let the tiny piece of land
Be clean tidy and neat
Let uncontaminated water be
So that everything doesnrsquot
end like the sea
Let the tree stand
lsquoCause it is more alluring than the seven colour band
Without being loquacious
Mother nature is indeed precious
The Little girl
- Bhumika Sharma VI-F
I found in a garage
Near the carriage
A tiny little baby girl
She had cute blue eyes
Which were very small in size
And had beautiful hair with a cute little curl
I wonder why she was there
And she came fromhellipwhere
I then asked a person passing on the road
If he knew the merciless who
kept her near the horses and
toads
The person replied ldquoWho cares
O Madamhellip
hellipFor a girl who is denied by her
dad and mum
I felt very sad and cried
But I saved her lest she died
Who will save many such girls
Imagine a world without these pearls
Treat them with respect and love
The Little Guest - Ashwathy Ganesh VI ndashD
It was rainy season
At home came a pigeon
It made its nest and was a pest
But there came another guest
Who shooed away the little pest
First there was nothing but a basket of twigs
And I watched it eating figs
When the thunder came with the rain
I got a bit scared
But it didnrsquot fly away
Because I took care
Soon there were three small
eggs
Which were taken care of by the guest
The bird is easy to guess
Because it doesnrsquot make a mess
With its red tail
It looked a bit frail
Between the plants green full full
Was the nest of the little Bulbul

The Art of Dharma as per Mahabharata
- Abhishek Singh [Teacher SrSecondary]
Dharma means the Duty or RighteousnessDharma is
subtle many times we are forced to take wrong
means for right means(and ends us like Arjuna in hell)
or reaches wrong ends following right means(like
Yudhishthira in exile)Its like the Ying and Yang
Duryodhanarsquos envy for the Pandvarsquos Indraprastha and
Yudhishthirarsquos greed or addiction to a game of dice
and win more territory was the main cause of war
The envy can result in healthy competitiveness raising
oneself up by making the envious work harder for
rivalrsquos possessions or eternal sickness to pull the rival
downThe envy and greed are both presents even in
the
modern day world the failure
of communism was caused by
envy among citizens while the
capitalist system is stranded by greed The aim of so-
ciety should not be to suppress these feelings among
its citizens but to channelize them productively Envy
is the vice of socialism Greed is the evil of capital-
ism
Dharma is not justice Its difference between Retribu-
tive Justice and forgiveness While a nation with
stronger legal laws can prefer justice over peace the
newly created or war-torn nations with weaker legal
laws should prefer to restore peace and harmony in
society rather than emphasizing justice
Beware You are in for a scare
- Ayush Lonakadi IX-C
I had returned home late but after reaching home I had
wished I had not reached home that day There was no
electricity which just made it creepier When I
reached my room my exhaustion made me forget that
I was famished I lay on the bed scrolling down pic-
tures I had recently clicked I relived happy moments
but someone out there wasnrsquot happy to see me happy
and I noticed a photograph in my phone which be-
mused me ndash not mentioning how frightened I had be-
come
The picture waswashow can I explain The back-
ground was of my house In the photoI was
sleeping Butbut how could that have been possi-
ble I lived alone there was no one to click my photo
while I was sleeping I was petrified with my eyes
wide open and my whole body was horror-struck
Then all the unwanted noises came into focus ndash the
noises from outside noises of something creaking and
the wind forcefully blowing through the thin slit of the
window eerily
I was panic-stricken I
quickly switched my
phone off and kept it on
the table beside and did
not bother about changing my clothes and covered my
face with a blanket and hugged it tightly I could not
even think of sleeping Every second the clock ticked
I hugged the blanket harder My face and chest were
drenched in sweat I felt some supernatural move-
ments around me something trying to reach out to
me
By then I was praying to God to take me away from
that place I was ready to die Then something hap-
pened and I became frantic from tip to toe lsquoIt is Tues-
day todayrsquo The virtual assistant of my phone said but
I clearly remembered that I had switched off my
phone Who asked the question It was this trauma
that I couldnrsquot bear and today I am here telling you
this story after turning into a roaming soul Look to
your right I am right beside you

Travelling Aaryan Aggarwal IX - B
Travelling is an experience It doesnrsquot matter where
you travel Every place is great in its own ways You
could go to a culturally rich yet underdeveloped place
or you could go to an advanced metropolitan place
You could travel slow paced or you could be adven-
turous and go off the beaten path You could go to the
beach you could go to a museum It wonrsquot matter as
wherever you go you will always get a new and
different experience The experiences will open your
mind to a whole new world and culture which will
change your understanding and preconceived notions
about that place You will also get an opportunity to
detoxify yourself from social media Thus I believe
that travelling is more than just a hobby and can
change your entire thought process and state of
mind
Wallflower
- Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
She lived under a rock
More by force than by will
She lived there so long
She had nothing to fight with
All these people pushing her down
Her feeble frame could fight no long
She vowed to never stop the struggle
Until she had on her temples the crown
Declaring to the world her change
after years bygone
From being the young shy girl they saw
But all this struggle slowly had her crumbling
As she withered her dreams fading
Cause promises are sometimes left undone
When fate decides to yield a gun
And the world never saw the light
Of a wallflower wishing to shine so bright
Being Myself -Nidhi Mishra VIII-G
I did never lie to myself
Never strived to be someone else
And so I never shy
To look myself straight in the eye
I did never hide myself
And lavish a priceless gift
Having lsquolifersquo as its spell
Being myself Irsquoll uplift
Life is too short
Donrsquot be someone else
A onetime offer we have got
Even more precious than a thousand jewels

Women Empowerment - Devangi Dongre VII-B
The abilities of women in making decisions educa-
tion and profession have been largely suppressed
since ages considering them inferior to men The sit-
uation is worst in underdeveloped and developing na-
tions where women in a family are not allowed to
take financial decisions or decide on matters regard-
ing their own educationWith such state of affairs it
would be a fallacy to dream about the goals of sus-
tainable development and gender equality There is an
instant need to take measures to lift the social
personal and professional
status of women bringing
them shoulder to shoulder
with men These particular
measures constitute a pro-
cess which is known as ldquoWomen Empowermentrdquo
Providing better education and employment opportu-
nities to women ensuring their better health provid-
ing justice and ensuring professional equivalence are
the few methods of women empowerment

- Aaryan Aggarwal IX-B
He looked from afar at his towering creation A re-
mote island in the Pacific Ocean seemed like a great
refuge after what had been happening on the Earth
He chose secrecy as his mission had raised many eye-
brows The plan was simple lsquoEscape and start overrsquo
Right now Moon seemed to be the most viable option
in terms of survival The research had been done
Moon was habitable So close to our abode our cos-
mic neighbor the Moon must exist for a reason It-
will not just be a secondary habitat but also be a step-
ping stone for further progress
His meticulously crafted plan was now just minutes
away from execution A team of four explorers would
first leave Earth and explore the Moon to test his hy-
pothesis Once a temporary col-
ony using genetically engi-
neered pods containing human
embryos is set up they would
further analyze the surroundings and find ways to
make it more habitable The lesser gravitational pull
which allowed for a comparatively lower escape ve-
locity made it easier to transport resources from the
Earth or the ISS Sure it would be difficult at first
Earth is unmatched but he knew it was for the greater
good of mankind It would mean more opportunities
and help us understand our place in this universe
Right now we have confined ourselves in a box and
this is the only way to leave it and unleash the won-
ders of the universe In front of his eyes it flew never
to come back

Make the Choice
-Nidhi Mishra VIII-G
My vision reflects its flaming intention
Irsquom steady upon the decision
About which Irsquoll never disclaim
Accepting the outcome never blame
To impulse refer those achieves
Itrsquos your resolve donrsquot quit
There wasnrsquot any lose that grieves
There was just a lesson in it
I turn down to immure oneself
In the decision of mine
I possess optimism in myself
And so I believe everything
will be fine
Though it may be tough
To perceive ones way to success
A dose of victory isnrsquot enough
Itrsquos always limitless
Television Pros and Cons
- Soumya Sheth
What do most of the people do these days to entertain
themselvesEveryone likes to switch ON their televi-
sion sets which is one of the exceptional inventions of
science When our Dads come home tired after office
the first thing they would like to do is switch On the
TV and relax while watching it from his sofa seat
This is because while watching different things that
are broadcasted on TV we forget our worries and re-
grets of the day
However like every good and popular inventions tel-
evision also has its set of some worrying habits that
people get hitched to For example sometimes kids
watch it for extensive time thereby affecting their
studies This is one of the most worrying habit for par-
ents and we should know that ignoring studies is not
good for our future and studying is as much important
for us at this tender age more than anything elseItrsquos
true that television can bring us the knowledge from
across the world We can see different parts of the
world virtually sitting at the same place But we
should know how
we can use this
incredible inven-
tion of science in
the right and bene-
ficial way for us Now-a-days Smart TVs have be-
come even more popular We can even use internet on
those TVs Use Google to search for answers we donrsquot
know use YouTube to understand how things are
made or get our doubts cleared and much much more
To summarize it I would like to urge all my fellow
students to use this precious invention of science in a
way that will benefit you to gain constructive
knowledge and avoid destructive knowledge We
should know that television is not the world but only a
small component of this world Please know that there
are other things in life which we should enjoy too
along with giving utmost importance to our studies

The night before the final examination
-Marisha Nath VIII- C
The night before the final examination appears to all
examinees as the night before the Battle of Waterloo
might have appeared to Napoleon or the Duke of Wel-
lington Our system of education being what it is we
examinees are bound to be anxious about the nature of
the nature of the questions we will have to answer
next day Even an earnest student who has done all
that needs be done by way of nervousness uncertainty
and suspense on the night before the examination The
morning of the examination finds them prostate with
nervous disorder
But this is one side the picture There are students
who may be described as soldiers of fortune They are
daredevil youngsters who do not take their examina-
tions seriously But their lack of preparation is more
than made up for by the short cuts or bazar notes they
have provided themselves with Even on the night
before the examina-
tion they would be
going about their
daily rounds They
may be found in the parks cafes and restaurants talk-
ing about tips ndashtalking glibly and confidently about
what questions are sure to come The morning of the
examination finds them as cheerful as they were on
the night before
What is needed most is self-confidence and a cool
head True we do not remember all that we have read
when we go to the Examination Hall This does not
mean that we have forgotten them Many things re-
main in the sub ndashconscious region They jump into
consciousness when we face the questions and seri-
ously think of the answers Often such answers score
more marks than prepared ones
Elegance
-Prajna VIII-D
Elegant you be for the universe to learn your versatility
Brighter you shine the orb will know your sustenance
The stars moons and clouds let know your dignity
Apparently it seems your flawless abundance
The ideal triumph mustnrsquot be exaggerated

Elegant you be for the universe to learn your versatility
How can you be silent if you donrsquot know your efficiency
One of the values to become successful is simplicity
Through elegance letrsquos spread positivist

Chocoland - Talreja Aastha IV-J
Once I had been to the Chocolate Land
Chocolate all around to the reach of my hand
Toffees candies lollies and bars
In my mouth a crunchy munchy war
White dark nutty and sweet
Just like a dreamy treat
Colourful wrapper shiny and bright
Which one to choose which would be right
Houses made of chocolates and doors made of bars
And out stood there a chocolate car
Soon after it was 6 oclock
And could hear the doorrsquos knock
I woke up in a hurry
Just to realise that it was a dream

The ant and the elephant
- SOUMEN RAO IV-E
Once upon a time in a forest there lived an ant and an
elephant The elephant was the biggest among all the
elephants So he was very proud of himself and used
to criticize everyone and the ant which was the tiniest
among them was very happy and cheerful It used to
help everyone I its own way
All the animals in the forest used to complain about
the egoistic elephant So one day when the ant saw the
elephant walking towards it it immediately thought of
a plan As soon as the elephant came near the ant
said ldquoHello My friendrdquo but the elephant replied rude-
ly saying ldquoYou tiny
ant Get off my way
otherwise yoursquoll get
crushed to deathrdquo
Hearing this ant
challenged the elephant sayingrdquo My big friend I can
make you cryrdquo The ant quickly climbed onto the trunk
of the elephant and ran towards its earit went inside
the ear and started biting the elephants ear The ele-
phant tried to flap its ears but in vain After a few
minutes tears started rolling down its eyes It cried
ldquoPlease come out of my ear I canrsquot bear the painrdquo As
soon as the ant came out the elephant apologized for
its mistake and didnrsquot tease any animals from that day
Grandparents
-Aditya Patil VIII-E
The best place in vacation
A heaven like destination
Their love for us is endless
All their sacrifices are worthless
Great is their surrounding divinity
In front of our ordinary identity
To your grandparents never be rude
Because they are your
coolest dude
They yell at our parents
when we are shouted
With generosity and be-
nevolence they are bounded
Be sure to always meet your grandparents once in a
while and enhance yourself by their presence

Water Conservation
- Paarth Bhagat VII-J
Water is life If there was no water there would be no
life Hence water is the precious gift of God to mother
Earth We cannot imagine our lives without water
We human beings are made up of water it is the only
transportation medium that carries the food molecules
and oxygen to the cells of every body parts to help the
blood It signifies that water is the most essential in-
gredient to the functioning of life of every organism
So you see living this wonderful life is impossible
without water
Water is the force behind all the industry agriculture
manufacturing and trade and commerce All forms of
energy generation is done using water Be it hydroe-
lectrically projects or thermal power plant or nuclear
power plant water is
the key ingredient in
all of them There
would be no power
without water No
water no life
So it is our responsibility to conserve this life nectar
It is possible only through by changing our outlook
towards this wonderful natural resource We must en-
sure there is no pollution of water bodies by dumping
any waste such as sewage effluents and other toxic
substances We must also ensure there is no emission
of green-house gases into the atmosphere The people
and the government must ensure installation of efflu-
ents and smoke treatment plants at industrial garbage
and sewage units

The kind Fairies -Aditys Patil VIII-E
This story starts with two beautiful babies in a king-
dom called fairyland The babies were very pretty
Their names were Ovi and Riddhi They were growing
pretty well As they grew they became more and
more pretty Over and over they were also fairies and
within 5 years they became young girls Their mother
told them to go to school The girls askedwhere are
the schools There are no schools here Mother said
dont worry you will go to the planet Earth On the
planet Earth there is a very good school named New
Horizon Public School and the short form is nhps We
said ok On the first day of our school we were very
afraid but after a few days we
became more smart than the
others We were getting a lot of
prizes which we shared with
eveyone in the school This
made us and others happy One day We became the
princess of fairyland Our wings were like a rainbow
We were twins and had very long hairs Now I end
my story with a beautiful quote
ALWAYS HELP EACH OTHER LIKE THE
FARIES BECAUSE HELPING PEOPLE IS THE
PATH TO GOD
The Day Irsquoll Never Forget - Saranya Sarangi VII -
It was a day of love and affection
There was no visible sign of caution
But something unfortunate was going to happen
Nobody knew where and when
There was a blast at half past three
In a beauty land called Paradise On Earth
A complete silence and pity hadnrsquot the thee
Perished laid the martyrs
Whom our motherland gave birth
I still remember that scaring sight
The scattered limbs I couldnrsquot see
My heart got filled with grief and fright
No Indian could glee
Terribly writhing the soldiers were seen
Some families languished and some
were crying
So loyal to their country they had been
None of their families were mollifying
Whatever homage to our martyrs we pay
Tiny before their they lay
Salute to their tribute to motherland
To protect us they always walked hand in hand
Little Birdie - Marisha Nath VIII-C
I am a little birdie in the sky
With two wings to fly
I never disturb you
I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom
O human Then why do you steal my FREEDOM
Binding me alone in the cage makes me sad
Donrsquot you know caging a bird is bad
Looking at the sky
I wish I could fly
I never disturb you
I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom
O human Then why do you steal my
FREEDOM

Summers in India - Saranya Sarangi VIII
A hot season beginning from April till May is what we
call summer And thatrsquos the basic rule in India But
thatrsquos not something through which we can define
summers in our country India The sun shining high
above the head increasing the heat and this scorching
heat is something very unique about summers in India
Those ice-lolly stalls roaming down the streets tin-
kling their tiny bells is something special one will nev-
er find in any other country Many people love this
season
Especially the children as they get to eat ice-creams
Many people even donrsquot As they feel that this season
can only make a person dehydrated exhausted and irri-
tated Summer as we think as an unfruitful season is
contrast in reality Schools conduct summer camps
during vacation where stu-
dents can join different aca-
demic and co-curricular
courses to improve them-
selves Many children even spend time with their fami-
lies
Often families plan trips to different places as they get
a very long vacation during this season But now-a-
days due to increasing heat these pleasant summers
are becoming unbearable Every just sweat and sweat
We get a lethargic feeling not ready to do any work
Due to this heat we continually keep the ACs on which
consume a lot of electricity creating trouble for our
mother Earth and us Gradually that charm of the
unique kind of summers will be lost if precautions are
not taken We must really hope and work hard to bring
back our lovely lsquoSummers in Indiarsquo
Exams are good or bad
- Nupoor Teli VIIIndashI
In my humble opinionexams are apressure on the stu-
dents They are forced to study and score good
markswhich can lead to frustration An environmentof
competitivenessof standing first is created for which
students keep on studying day and night without any
recreation It is good to studybut not just for the sake
of gaining marks
Why do we study What is the main intention behind
education Seeking intersresting and fascinating
knowledge as well as facts about the world But now-a
-daysthe main reason for studying is gaining marks If
there are no marksno career andno success This is the
mindset of 70 people of the worldespecially parents
They pressurize their children so much that they get
depressed or sometimes attempt suicide as well
Every two months an exam is conducted Moreo-
verthere are projectssubject-enrichment activi-
tieschapter test sfter every topicnotebookfile submis
sion etcAnd as acherry on top
of the cakewe have the semes-
ter exams of eighty marks as
well What all will the students
do And even if any extra-
curricular activities are being learntthen more extra
studies Just studystudy and study
Why so much of tension on the children Under this
tension only they start cheating As time passes cheat-
ing becomes a habit of their life
I fell that exams should be conducted once a term in
order to evaluate whether the students are clear with
the concepts or notThey shouldnt be pressurized for
their marksbut should be made understand their mis-
takes Let them choose their own career options on
their own Help them knowwhat they like to study and
what they want to do in their life So dont pressurize
students for what they dont likeand encourage them in
what they do After allthey are only the Rising stars of
the country

Life is magical - Piyush Sahoo VII-H
A new day or a new night
Everything in life seems bright
A new morning or a new evening
Life is full of happening
A life is just like a kite
It may disappear in a sight
Life moves from baby to old
Make your life challenging and bold
Enjoy life the fullest
Never accept less than best
Unlikely life comes to an end
But remember never to bend
Happy sadness victory and loss
Accept it the way it comes
Life can be at times tragical
But make it the most beautiful
Life is magicalhellip
Life is so magicalhellip
Humility -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
Humility is having a heart to treat others with respect
and love Considering people worthy of your love
time and efforts regardless of who they are or what
they have done A person is truly humble when they
are willing to work hard for others expecting nothing
in return
Humility has the power to change a personrsquos perspec-
tive towards life It can make a difference in the way a
person is looked upon by others Doing an act of hum-
bleness can make a personrsquos day Humility is about
not having an ego or considering things below your
dignity or considering yourself greater than others
People often confuse humility with self-respect They
canrsquot make out the difference between being useful to
others and being used by others
It takes courage to be humble
because in the era in which we
live humility is looked upon as
weakness People assume yoursquore not strong enough to
stand up for yourself They think you surrender in-
stead of protesting They will despise and scorn you
but they donrsquot know that you take pleasure in what
you do because they havenrsquot experienced that kind of
joy
So if you do have humility donrsquot draw back from it
because of what others think Whatever you are doing
is for the good of others and you have no need to be
ashamed of that Humbleness will spread from person
to person Who knows maybe your one act of humili-
ty will spread on to help a person in need So be brave
be humble
Mom -Tanvi Sawant VII-C
Oh mom I came to this beautiful world just because

without you
Just like the sky without itrsquos bright color bluehellip

dark

And preventing my green dress

you plant a tree
Make a better home for you on me
Recycle things donrsquot throw them awayhellip

OUR FUTURE EARTH - Hiya Purswani VIII-B
We all know the present condition of our environment
around us Inspite of advanced and modern technolo-
gy we humans are still not able to find a solution
Early humans neither they had much technology nor
they had enough intelligence but still in the early ages
the environment was clean making it the reason for
the increasing life span of humans Its a shocking
news to know that the amount of plastic bottles pro-
duced now may lead to increase in plastic pollution
and cause several death Its a great opportunity to be
as a human in this beautiful earth and so its our re-
sponsibility to make it clean In monsoon people cut
down trees to prevent accidents to occur but do we
plant trees in summer to prevent more global warm-
ing We can prevent bad things to happen but not can-
not take that much effort for good things to spread
Have you ever wondered while seeing a tap open how
many taps are left open at the same time in the whole
world It might sound unbelievable there can be a
World War III on water land and fresh air The way
we are thinking about the wastage of water may lead
us to a massive pain Itrsquos truly said by Warren Buffet
sometimes to buy things we need we have to sell
things we do not need This happens in the case of
lacking of intelligence We say every scholar is a true
genius but in my
opinion a person is
genius if he has the
ability to save and
change things in his
own way We all have the ability to save this earth
but our thoughts our ego and our greediness is stop-
ping us to think in a better way Everyone has a good
and a bad side in his life What matters is the part we
choose to act upon This is an excellent thought said
by Sirius Black in the movie Harry Potter Itrsquos time to
bring a change We always have time to do good
things all we need is hope Spreading awareness is the
best idea to bring a change If everyone stops thinking
about their economical needs and start contributing
towards the environment by planting more trees cer-
tainly there will be a beneficial change in this world
Neither do we think about the future nor care about
the present Why not be an optimist and think in a
positive way of life Our studies our needs our
knowledge will not help us in any way if we donʼt
change Its not that easy to plant a tree and care for it a
whole year if we only plant it with all our love nature
is certainly going to care for it Lastly I would like to
end with a quoterdquo Come forth in the light of things
nature will be your teacher
The Small Hours Pranjal Anil Chavan V-C
No more my little song Come back
And now of nights I lay my head on down
to watch the black
And wait the unfailing gray
Oh Sad are winter nights and slow
And sad is a song thatrsquos dumb
And sad it is to lie I know
Another dawn will come

Floods and Destruction
- Nirvi Soni IV-H
India faces occurrence of floods each year in some
parts of Assam during the rainy season Water of river
Brahmaputra rises and enters into many villages
causing great destruction Floods are unavoidable but
we need to take precautions in the following ways by
reducing mining activities building dams growing
more trees etc During floods the weather becomes
wet and gloomy Trees and plants get uprooted This
way floods cause great de-
struction to both life and
property It also becomes dif-
ficult to travel from place to
place Many people are left
homeless The rain water should be harvested and
stored in large storage tanks The harvested rainwater
can be used for washing clothes and cleaning By us-
ing rain water in our daily life we can preserve water
resources
Good Morning Everyone -Vyomi ThakkarVI - H
Come with me wersquoll have some fun
Wersquoll go on a walk
Donrsquot worry will have a great talk
Roaming around the ground
With beautiful birdrsquos sound
We donrsquot know if anything will be found
Wersquoll surely find the crown
Up on the chilled mountain
We saw a beautiful fountain
Surrounded by a beautiful castle
Decorated with the colourful tassel
Just be quiet and keen
Soon you will be the queen
Think before you speak
-Shravya Atreya IX-D
Think before you speak
There are hearts you must please
Think before you speak
You canrsquot undo the harm done after you squeak
Think before you speak
You might have done greater harm than you might
think
Think before you speak
There are still places left for you
to seek
Think before you speak
There is a long way to go before
you sleep
Think before you speak
There are hearts you must
please
Sunrise -Anuradha Singh VII-H
Over the glimmering purple sea
Under the golden sun rise

A sparrow sways upon a tree
staring at his own in the
enamelled sea
Everything is fine
With fading stars and rising light

GLOBAL WARMING - Adhyant Singh VII-F
Global warming refers to the steady rise in the Earthrsquos mean temperature The effect of global
warming had come into sight when polar ice caps started melting this phenomena is called ICE ndash
ALBEDO the ice caps melt faster due to the rise in the temperature This sudden rise in the temperature near
the poles began in 1999 The polar ice caps in Antarctica melt at the rate of 400000000000 tons per year ac-
cording to some scientists it would approximately take 5000 years to melt the total ice on earth In 2013 Inter-
governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) stated that the main cause of Global warming is human inter-
vention like emission of Green house gases like Carbon-Di-Oxide nitrous oxide and methane
These gases trap the heat which is reflected by the Earthrsquos surface thus increasing the temperature and also
destroying the ozone layer which prevents the ultraviolet rays of the sun from reaching the earthrsquos surface Al-
so burning fossil fuel contributes to the problem Effects of global warming have also led to the increase in the
sea level and extreme weather like heat waves and change in the regional pattern of precipitation and the ex-
pansion of desserts A concentrated and focused effort by the entire humanity can curb down the impact of
Global warming and also prevent it Planting more trees to control the amount of carbon-di-oxide eliminating
the use of chlorofluorocarbon or (CFCrsquoS) are a few steps All the countries have signed up with the United Na-
tions Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to prevent the doomsday of Earth So to prevent
earthrsquos doomsday we all must work together
Itrsquos not too late there is still timehellipBefore the earth ends and we whinehellipSo keep on marching and planting
greens To end Global Warming and Make our planet greenhellip
What will happen without Instagram

Instagram Instagram Instagram
I was hearing it from everyone

Nobody knew the answer to my question
Mobiles Mobiles Mobiles

I asked who was the inventor
Again nobody was aware
I wondered why was it like so
Why is it they donrsquot know
There was one time we were
engrossed in books
Now we care more about our looks
Instagram wonrsquot give you a job
You will have to study and top
Your fellow followers wonrsquot help either
If you donrsquot have a job no one will bother

The Night - Matangi Rajesh VII-D
Its the night
The moon is white
When we switch off the light
What a beautiful sight
After this comes the sun bright
There is no more artificial light
This is the time to start your diet
To go for a run wearing tights
Then comes the evening when
you have snacks light
And fly a big colorful kite
or include your sibling in a pillow fight
Again comes the night
A moon which is white
We switch off the light
A beautiful sight

Hyperloop -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
Human inventions have baffled the world They are
innumerable ranging from revolutionizing
smartphones to not-so-breathtaking ice cream cones
but they play a role in our life just the same The
things which are commonplace to us now were unbe-
knownst to people once upon a time For the people of
the 19th century the car was a thing of the future until
in 1885 Karl Benz ran his first car on the road Then
for centuries people took the prospect of of flying like
the birds as only a wild possibility which was made
possible in 1903 when the Wright Brothers flew the
first plane
What is the thing of the future for us Well we are the
future modifying and bettering the things that have
been made and crating stuff that we didnt even dare
to imagine about The Hyperloop fulfills both aspects
of the definition a very advanced model of our faith-
ful train and yet a brand new idea to scale greater
heights The Hyperloop is an ideal mode of efficient
transport Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane
with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing
speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt have to
ace the two types of friction that every other vehicle
has to face Air resistance and ground friction The
pods of the Hyperloop are propelled through a depres-
surized tub Since it is almost vacuum very little air
resistance can be offered inside the tube Due to this
the energy required to travel is also very less The Hy-
perloops unique technology uses magnetic levitation
to guide and lift the pods of the rail Since the pod is
not in contact with the ground there is no friction act-
ing on itThe first Hyperloop ndash virgin Hyperloop one
is set to run with passengers as early as 2021 and is
created by SpaceX and Tesla
The mastermind behind the Hyperloop is Elon Musk
who first published a 58 page white-paper on the web-
site of his company-Space X It was available to all
and was titled Hyperloop alpha The Hyperloop may
be the pioneer of a whole new era of transportation
traveling a distance which would otherwise take 12
hours in just I hour it has crossed all known bounda-
ries and created higher limits for us to reach and reach
we must for when time is money and money is time
an option that saves both needs to be used
Exams are good or bad -Nupoor Teli VIII
In my humble opinion exams are pressure on the stu-
dents They are forced to study and score good marks
which can lead to frustration An environment of com-
petitiveness of standing first is created for which stu-
dents keep on studying day and night without any rec-
reation It is good to study but not just for the sake of
gaining marks
Why do we study What is the main intention behind
education Seeking interesting and fascinating
knowledge as well as facts about the world But now-a
-days the main reason for studying is gaining marks
If there are no marks no career and no success This
is the mindset of 70 people of the world especially
parents They pressurize their children so much that
they get depressed or sometimes attempt suicide as
wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-
ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities
chapter test after every topic notebookfile submis-
sion etc And as cherry on top of the cake we have the
semester exams of eighty marks as well What all will
the students do And even if any extra-curricular ac-
tivities are being learnt then more extra studies Just
study study and study
Why so much of tension on the children Under this
tension only they start cheating As time passes cheat-
ing becomes a habit of their lifeI fell that exams
should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate
whether the students are clear with the concepts or
not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but
should be made understand their mistakes Let them
choose their own career options on their own Help
them know what they like to study and what they want
to do in their life So dont pressurize students for
what they dont like and encourage them in what they
do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the
country

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B
Life is all about interactions You meet people and
you interact You observe them consciously or sub-
consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us
more than we even realise Some people leave a last-
ing impression on us and entirely change the course of
life for better or for worse Some people influence us
help us go further and make all the difference
I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-
tial people They have taken care of me ever since I
came into this world They are the ones who wish the
best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-
cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel
no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-
come a part of my personality They are the ones who
helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me
to be better
When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are
the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-
takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique
learning experience It has made me realise how eve-
rything they do has a reason They are the ones who
have taught me the importance of the little things in
life They are the ones who have helped me recognize
and follow my passion The very thought of them not
being a part of my life is scary to the least as without
them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am
today and whatever I have achieved is all because of
them and I am very grateful of that
Eyesight
-Aditi Shenoy VIII-F
The tired little girl went to bed
Recollecting the days bygone
Seeing them in her dreams
As the day she was born
Trying to see the world
With her little eyes
But the sun with his brightness
Wouldnt let her catch the sights
The girl still eager
And curious to see the world around her
Again opened her eyes
But her vision was blurred
Still she did not lose hope
Which flowed through her blood
Encouraging and pushing her
To see the world further
Her heart beating fast
Her enthusiasm increasing
She slowly tried to see
With her eyes continuously blinking
Starting to lose hope
She was ready to give up
But curiosity got the upper hand
And pushed her forward
With her hope again rising
and strength in her eyesight
She is finally seeing the world
With wide open eyes

Conquering the space
-Marisha Nath VIII-C
ldquoThere is no failure in Science it is only continual
effort to conquer the unknown On the way even if we
face failure it rather adds more value to our effort for
our next journey to know the unknownrdquo
Chandrayan-2 Indiarsquos Moon Mission The dream of
entire India to land on moon and become the 4th Na-
tion in the world to put its flag on the soil of moon
after USSR USA amp China
ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launched
Chandrayan-2 on 22nd July 2019 from Bengaluru
(Satish Dhawan Space Center) under the command of
ISRO chief K Shivan It consists of ORBITER
LANDER amp Lunar Rover PRAGYAN Like Chandra-
yan-1(22nd Oct2008) it was Indiarsquos indigenous moon
mission
It touched the Moon Surface on Saturday early morn-
ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-
ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-
ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of
moon it lost contact with the ground station Because
of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be
monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m
(approx) away from its assigned location near
SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still
orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange
signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it
The ORBITER which will remain active for another
12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-
owed portion of the moon for the first time in history
with the help of its high-resolution camera
The entire Nation irrespective of their field of
knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front
of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of
VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true
Indians who always dream progress and development
of their motherland But our heart never accepts this
as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement
for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-
pose of our mission
But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at
this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring
country quoting this as a big failure on part of India
blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos
money on this
Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will
be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to
this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other
nations on such missions
Further I should say that India is not new in the field
of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-
TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975
It was named after famous scientist of ancient India
ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested
for the first time the HELIOCENTRIC THEORY
(Sun at the center and all planets revolve around the
Sun) of the Solar System much earlier than ready for
New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 57
COPERNICUS as believed in the western world
Other countries might have moon on their flags but
we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is
great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are
whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-
rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is
only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the
unknown and its continual application for the benefit
of the mankind)rdquo
Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by
various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-
PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-
cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958
onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as
46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was
attempted out of which only 21 was successful
Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-
tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the
overall attempts conducted by other Nations
USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-
NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was
planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January
SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR
successfully on moon
NASA after many attempts was successful to send
first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th
July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk
on moon
Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-
clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-
SION MANGAL for our next moon mission

A shadow side in me - Sunit Dighe VIII-C
Your life is in your hands How to solve your life with
ease Thats always a big question in a puzzled mind
Synchronizing the answer is always necessary Elabo-
ration the next first lets understand why you get a
human life hereditarily Until and unless you have
solved the Rubiks cube of your life with cases truly
hard then you are fulfill to get handout of the running
notes written by your mind for a total 70 years Thats
not a small value Its 70times12=etc
Now whats a shadow side of your life Its none other
than your emotions Answer to the shadow side of
your life in emotions is depression Not going beyond
and deeper in depression But those who dont know
what is depression -It is the state in which your mind
losses thinking will power and confidence for find-
ing no way in taking the right path for the solution
Depresion acts in making your life a
bit difficult Mind makes all unneces-
sary savages which have a result 0
See the matchmaking here the villain
depression has no hero to be defeated You yourself
are a hero but you sometimes fail to take control over
depression So here motivation plays a extravagant
role
How to solve your life with ease That was our ques-
tion in the start Life isnt easy but definitely you can
decide your life Have a success its good defeating
all sort of gratuitous emotions is better and thinking
optimistically is best Like with what the quote moti-
vatesldquoonly when you illuminate otherswithout ex-
pectation or rewardwill you truly understand how to
illuminate yourselfrdquo only remember dont let you sink
your mind sink and your foolish but previous life to
sink in the deep disarrayed water
The destiny in my hands - Aaryan Aggarwal IX-B
Destiny The word means the inevitable fate or some
events that will necessarily happen to some person in
the future It is however a notion and not a proven
fact as obviously no one can see the future People
believe that what destiny says is the ultimate truth and
absolutely nothing can change it However I beg to
differ as while it may be inevitable it will not neces-
sarily be completely unchangeable To give an exam-
ple a person born into a poor family may believe that
his destiny is poverty and nothing else
However with enough efforts and determination he
she may grow up to be very successful This has led
me to believe that destiny is not any actual power or
anything that can affect our future Rather it is a state
of mind that sometimes may lead to demotivation
This happens because success has never come without
failures In failures we tend to lose
positivity and start becoming nega-
tive and their mindset towards life all
-in-all becomes negative This is
where we begin to believe that this is what destiny had
in store for us and this is exactly what we are going to
get With this preconceived notion people often lose
interest or even give up entirely However since desti-
ny is a figment of a personrsquos mind it can be modified
as and when required
Thus believing in destiny and hoping that the hard-
ships that you have faced are all part of a bigger plan
will give you the motivation to do better and improve
Thus I believe that destiny while not being real to
some extent can change the course of a personrsquos life
Destiny is not unchangeable the power to do so lies in
your very hands

Our country is safe
Because of you
You protect our country today
And forever yoursquoll do

Because you are there
And the feelings of love with
Our country we share
Bravery in your fights
And surgical strikes
Salute to you and all
The almighty soldiers
I pledge my glory and

Self Confidence
Anirudh Shetti VI B
Self Confidence is an attitude that allows you to move
forward and achieve your goals Self confidence
means believing in yourself It is an ability that makes
the human believe in himself For example Tim was a
boy who had a stage fear One day he was selected for
the assembly as a reporter On the day of assembly
Tim was very scared to go on the stage Then he
thought about Self confidence Long ago his mother
said him that if a person has Self confidence he can
cross away all the difficulties in his life So at that
time Tim forgot all the fear and became a self confi-
dent boy
On assembly he reported beautifully and he was the
best reporter in the assembly There are some more
other positives like positive thinking concentration
good manners being kind etc Like Theodore Roose-
velt said ldquoEach time we face fear we gain strength
courage and confidence in the doingrdquo I will conclude
my article with this quote ldquoBelieve in yourself and
you will be unstoppablerdquo
Pencil
-Aadya Agarwal V
Once I was drawing with a pencil
But to draw proper shape I need a stencil
I was using a pencil to write a phrase
I wrote it wrong then the teacher said ldquoErase Eraserdquo
I lost my pencil
But it was with my friend Jencil
With that pencil I drew a triangle and a rectangle
But I was not able to find its angle
In English I had to complete punctuation marks
With help of that pencil James drew many sharks
In science there was a chemical blast
My teacher said ldquopencilrsquos life is very vastrdquo
Once more I lost my pencil
It was stuck in my hair
Once again i lost my pencil
But this time it was lost in a fair

Taras intelligence
- Pritika Manohar kadam VIII ndashD
Once upon a time there lived a couple near the town
They were just married and expected a child After a
year they had twins Both were charming Their
names were Yash and Tara
Tara was expected to do the household work and
Yash was to go to school and do a job Tara was an
very intelligent girl so she used to take her brothers
old books and study on her own
One fine day she asked her brother Why every time
I have to do the household work and not study like
you Her brother asked many people but got a com-
mon answer that girls are not meant to study
So both of them decided to ask their father He gave a
confusing answer that if Tara wants to go to school I
can help her to learn and write but which school will
give her admission I cant fight for one girl
She understood what he meant so Tara had an idea
about that She gathered her friends and told them the
importance of education
Next day she gathered them and
went to her father and said you
wont help one girl (me) so can
you help us to study Her father was impressed by her
intelligenceHe took them to the principal who was
his friend and requested him several times about the
admission of the girls
At last one day he agreed to take the admission of
those girls They started going to school everyday
The problem was all the people were frustrated They
used to throw garbage near their house and also say
abusing words Also stop the ways of the girls for
going to school
They also took the house of Tara and Yash They
used to live in a hut with those girls as well
The people used to throw stones on them The girls
did not lose their hopes and studied hard All those
after many years started working in office
The people were proud afterwards and they started a
girls school They gave back house of Yash and Tara
The ordeal to say a lsquogoodbyersquo
-Nidhi Mishra VIII-G
Together we laughed
Together we wept
Myriad fond impressions We kept
Jointly we danced like daisy
We didnrsquot bother about others
We chuckled like crazy
Concerning about the fussy was tempestuous
Together we were scintillating
We were engrossed in
Our cackles were uplifting
Something was sinister I remained keen
That gloominess was undesirable
Not you but our disunion was near
Our parting was lamentable
The distance between us was my fear
Our disunion was forthcoming
I wished I could quit it
Tears from our eyes were running
With those yet we had to split
Years had flown by
Not the echo
The ordeal to say a

And to lose a loyal oppo

Let me tell you friends this was a dream all
fake
Friendship
-Divya Johnson VIII ndash I
Friendship has no form
sometimes it makes us feel secure and warm
Sometimes leaves us cold and forlorn
and sometimes gives us the power to go on
We mistake it often for something materializing
but itrsquos free and artistic
It is hard to catch
no other virtue has its match
Indomitable Earth - Poorvi Sanu IX ndashG
Our global crisis has created a cure
No A treatment for what is in the store
New seasons simmer shorelines bore
Plastics not fake its sweet
Everlasting a love we adore
Are you sure
Intestinal hurdle artwork framed
Mammals fattened by unnatural floating
Wild material machine Unseen
Where does your waste ream
What can I do
It takes more than
one It takes society
Globally to do what
needs to be done
Our footprint is mas-
sive weighty
Join Mother Earth
On our journey here and abroad
Full of disbelief and open scorn
Itrsquos worth the attempt to help her adorn
To help her heal her sores prevent more welts

Travelling via train -Aditya Patil VIII-E
Travelling is a prominent and a fun-learning activity of
our life It introduces us to new people their culture
and enhances skills that are essential in our lives
Travelling gives a wonderful experience to the travel-
ers especially by train I am being so sight to write the
essay lsquocause guess what ldquoI AM TRAVELLING IN
THE BUMPY TRAINrdquo hearing the quarrels for seats
with the bumps of the train
Train to me is the most favourite mode of transport for
long journeys I am sure even others love travelling via
train inspite of the long journey and time But if its
with families or with bachelor friends therersquos no one
stopping them from being happy During travelling we
also get familiar to stops during the journey where
people get off and enter This introduces us to the cul-
ture of those regions
and thatrsquos what makes our
India famous and legend-
ary We also get to eat
those India-famous snacks
from all over India like lsquoShehgaon kachorirsquo lsquo Kol-
hapuri misalrsquo and I would stop here or else I know
your mouth is watering and you wanna eat this
This is what travelling is It increases our general
knowledge as we get across so many new things Trav-
elling by train is much more affordable than aero-
planes where we just have to sit and enjoy the luxury
Travelling will also introduce you to all kinds of peo-
ple like the innocent ones the fighters the caring ones
who surrender themselves for you and sometimes the
people you know So to enjoy these beautiful moments
of life travel once or twice a year to refresh your-
selves
Control Yourself - Suvan Lokhande IX-A
Controlling yourself is something great that you have
achieved in your whole life Controlling a particular
thing with which you get addicted is a big thing Dur-
ing puberty children get addicted to various bad things
such as food mobile TV or maybe food
ldquoControl Yourself Kidrdquo ldquoDone not more than
thisrdquo ldquoControlrdquo such types of sentences maybe
familiar to you which must be said by your mom dad
teachers and your elders But thatrsquos exactly true what
they say I know that itrsquos difficult to leave a particular
thing with which you get addicted But still if you
leave it certainly this can make an impact in your life
I mean to say that leave only bad things and not the
good things like reading or studying Believe it every-
thing is possible in this whole world If Neil Arm-
strong can go to moon then why cannot you leave your
bad habit Lets take an example a
boy who likes to eat a lot he may
like to eat Chinese Continental
Asian and whatever But you must
take care of your fitness too We can
eat whatever we want but in a limit
If you start practicing such good practices you can
surely be the one who has changed his whole life to a
certain life
And these changes can definitely make you proudAt
last my opinions may have some differences but eve-
ryday we get to learn something from our daily experi-
ences And I truly believe that if we make a decision
and start opting it in our daily life we can surely our-
selves make a change in our whole life At last I con-
vey that you need to control yourself and follow this
motto in your lifehelliphellipControl Yourself amp Be the
Change

Nature
- BHUMESH DADHWAL VIImdashC
The earth is full of surprises
Just look around yourself
It can be anywhere around you
Even somewhere in your bookshelf
The most surprising is nature
Itrsquos full of different stuff
It can be a human or thing or even a creature
We humans made strong big buildings
And thatrsquos what we think is great
But look deep in nature
You will find trees plants and Animals everywhere
Some may be mild And some may be wild
Mother nature provides us with our needs
And still we use it for our greeds
Letrsquos join hands together
To save this marvelous creation

Anger Management
- Sfurti Kumbhar IX-A
AngerhellipThe worst of emotions It causes a LOT of
problems Like damaged friendships separated fami-
lies to list a few The list is long But as many people
have tried and failed controlling anger can be impos-
sible at times when the little fuse in your brain blows
off Let us discuss controlling anger today
Basically anger management seems and sounds im-
possible But as it turns out it isnrsquot Itrsquos really simple
To be honest I am a cranky person Even the slightest
bit of annoying thing or the face of an irritating person
blows my fuse off So well yeah Irsquom trying to get it
under control Sort of
Impossible right Managing anger sounds easy You
can distract yourself from the situation Permanently
fix an imaginary meter in your brain which indicates
anger level My meter is always near 50-60 When I
say that Irsquom a cranky person you can see that I mean
it
As I was saying the meter Anytime you feel that the
meter is rising just find some ways to control it Like
the classic ldquodrink cool water to cool down your warm
headrdquo or breathe Listen to your fav music Or ask
yourself this simple question
ldquoIs getting angry at this person or screaming at them
going to improve my day in any way whatsoeverrdquo
If the answer is yes go ahead Scream all that you
want at the person and improve your day But if the
answer is no STOP yourself in time Maybe make
yourself an anger dice Or breathe in Out And may-
be the classic as mentioned above
Frankly these ways have helped me to reduce my
ldquofuse blowing offrdquo times since grade 4 Anger may be
one of the smartest issues but we are smarter
You are a masterpiece - Tisha Gangar VIII-A
There are songs in your eyes
Singing lullabies
The voice is so pretty

Right inside your heart
Painting pictures which create
memories
That are soothing just like a
breeze
You are a Masterpiece
With an end number of skills
Creativity is your strength
Keep safe till the end

Monsoon -Isha Bhanushali VIII
The most alluring part in monsoon season is the way
people tackle them Every where you scan people are
struggling back to reach their home back safely and it
indeed gives you a sense of achievement when you
reach home without getting drained by the gushing
water the automobiles blow on youWell my case is a
little bit different Every time I attempt not to step in-
side the puddle the next step will certainly be inside
it
It was raining heavily that day and unlike my usual
days it was a special one I got dispersed from my
classes by 600 and not aware about the conditions
outside I stepped outside expecting my van to pick
me up Suddenly there was gloomy all around and
there was silence everywhere (huh Because the light
went off) and to add insult to injury I got a call from
my Sir that the van will be com-
ing 1 hour late
I after a while made up my
mind I will set out and go on
my ownI took my umbrella and set out with my
friend The roads were all muddy and the water
reached up to my ankle The situation got testified as
it started raining heavily We all expected the rain to
stop after a while but it was adamant throwing its
tantrums on us All over the road there were vehicles
parked and there was no way to move
But not giving up we carried forward to reach our des-
tination After a long tiring journey of 1km (which
took us almost 1hr) we reached our home safely I had
a feeling of accomplishing a big feat that day
But the climax is here
I had to listen to my Moms scolding
Yes because I had stepped inside a big puddle
Soldier - Marisha Nath VIII-C

Man Woman and Equality Poorvi Sanu IX-G
Why are women considered inferior to men Why is
it so Even in the olden days gender inequality was
very common
Sati widows shravana shraddha managala gaur
akshaya tritiya child marriage karva chauthhellip
etcetera etcetera etceteraWhat do these words re-
mind you of Yep Thatrsquos right These are all systems
for women
These are sacrifices and systems that women perform
for their better halves So that their spouses have a
long and safe life But what do these spouses do in
return Discriminate these women Consider them
inferior I think that only about 15 of men give
equal opportunities and rights to women
This number is increasing no doubt but then this is a
slow processMen work approximately 6 ndash 8 hours a
day Women on the other hand work at least 16
hours a day Yet men get salary and women in some
cases donrsquot
To all the men and boys reading this I have a few
questions for youDo you have the guts to perform all
housework with 5 guests in the house Do you have
enough courage to change your sur-
name after marriage Do you have
the guts to leave your ancestral home
where you have lived for at least 23
years Are you ready to be dominated
by women More importantly are you ready to listen
to pungent words from your mother-in-law And of
course do you guys have courage to bear a child for 9
months and 9 days and give birth and nurture the ba-
by
Giving birth is simultaneous to fracturing 20 ndash 21
bones at once Did men know this And yet they con-
sider women weak They think that because wersquore
women we cannot thinkIf we cannot think who is
Marie Curie If we are weak who delivers kids
Women arenrsquot any different They are children of
gods They arenrsquot your personal secretaries they are
your partnersOnly a woman knows how much suffer-
ing women go through And yet women are discrimi-
nated daily
What women want is love and respect They work
hard for it they toil day and night and what they get
ishellipabsolutely nothing
Is this right
Submission to Peer Pressure -Akshat Mishra IX -G
ldquoHey Mohan When did you get this new iPhone-Xrdquo
we asked him in surprise as we knew the financial
condition of his family ldquoMy cousin gifted it to merdquo
quipped Mohan sheepishly All the boys resumed
playing but I knew there was something amissPeer
pressure is becoming increasingly inevitable amongst
teenagers One may argue that it is a part of human
nature It may be pivotal for a human being but its
darker side is certainly the more powerful one
People are easily succumbing to peer pressure without
realising its consequences Just to gain respect in
someonersquos eyes they are even ready to quarrel with
their parents and ward their attention from their nec-
essary activities A recent survey suggested that the
maximum people in a rave are a group of teenagers
The clutches of peer pressure are so strong that people
arenrsquot being able to listen even to their conscience
The youth mostly is just littering around the streets
smoking cigarettes boozing or becoming a victim to
social networks sites like Facebook or Instagram Hu-
man resource is the most valuable resource that we
have and the youth are supposed to replenish this re-
source not just to become egoists The are the future
of the planet but sadly they arenrsquot forging the path for
mankind that they are supposed to
Hopefully there is some resistance against this social
evil in modern days Such people have sworn to stay
adamant and not stray from the rightful path These
days of hope do believe in working for the greater
good and are spreading awareness and showing the
society that peer pressure is deleterious sort individual
growth and well being

ldquoFreedom of Press in Democracyrdquo
- Poorvi Sanu IX-G
A free press and a free judiciary are two very important
cornerstones of a democracy Especially in the modern
era of widely accessible news and innumerable infor-
mation at our fingertips freedom of press is highly valued
liberty that citizens should be aware of and know the rea-
son why it is given to us as Indians Freedom means those
people who state the liberty or right and privileged to
speak according to their will
Freedom is that opportunity which we should never avoid
and in all bad situations it gives us all right to handle the
problems in our own innovative and thoughtful way Press
and media are the vital way to express and speech some
views and opinions in a democratic country It is the me-
dium of expressing an opinion of the people It justifies
the individual right to speech and expression a coveted
right enshrined in the Indian constitution and the law of
other countries on the globe
The importance of freedom of press lies in the fact that
for most citizens the prospect of personal familiarity with
newsworthy events is unrealistic In seeking out news the
media therefore acts for the public in large it is the means
by which people receive free flow of information and ide-
as which is essential to intelligence self-governance that
is in turn democracy For a proper functioning of democ-
racy it is essential that
citizens are informed
about news from vari-
ous parts of the coun-
try and even abroad because only then can they form ra-
tional opinions A citizen surely cannot be expected per-
sonally to gather news to enable him or her to form such
opinions Hence the media plays an important role in a
democracy and serves as an agency of the people to gath-
er news for them
It is for this reason that freedom of press has been empha-
sised in all democratic countries while it was not permit-
ted in feudal or totalitarian regimes
In India the media have a great responsibility also to see
that the news they present is accurate and serve the inter-
est of the people If the media convey false news that may
harm the reputation of a person or a section of society it
may do a great damage since reputation is a valuable asset
for a person
Even if the media subsequently correct a statement the
damage done may be irreparable Hence the media should
take care to carefully investigate any news item before
carefully reporting it
I know of a case were the photograph of a High Court
judge who was known to be upright was shown on a TV
New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 22
channel along with that of a known criminal The alle-
gation against the judge was that he had acquired the
land not in any discretionary quota but in the open
market at the market priceAlso sometimes the media
present twisted or distorted news that may contain an
element of truth but also an element of untruth This
too should be avoided because a half-truth can be
more dangerous than a total lie The media should
avoid giving any slant to news and avoid sensational-
ism and yellow journalism Only then will they gain
the respect of the people and fulfil their true role in a
democracySome newspapers espouse the cause of
only one community
ldquoThey do not judge problems on their merits They
view problems from a communal angle Such newspa-
pers do disservice to the nation On the other hand
some responsible newspapers exercise great restraint
while reporting news about riots between two commu-
nities They never give the identity of the community
which started the riot If there are any casualties they
do not give a community-wise break up lest this
should trigger off a bigger riot
In India most of the newspapers are controlled by
business magnates Such newspapers therefore pro-
mote the interest of the capitalists by given tainted
news They pay no heed even to the genuine prob-
lems of the worker^ farmers artisans and other
weaker sections of the people
The press is the defender and the protector of the
rights and liberties of the people But it can per-
form this role only if it enjoys freedom in publish-
ing news views and reporting It can function ef-
fectively only in an open society where decisions are
made in a democratic manner The press should not be
scared of influential people The press should consider
it their duty to protect the right of the workers and oth-
er downtrodden sections of the people
While the press should enjoy freedom to perform its
role effectively it should not treat such freedom as a
licence to defame anybody It should not publish any
views or support any movement which violates our
Constitution or is against the territorial integrity and
unity of the country
To the conclusion As the worldrsquos largest democracy
India has a duty to ensure that the press has the duty to
disseminate information and express opinions without
excessive censorship Unfortunately in recent years
the right has been increasingly curbed This oppres-
sion of press is an alarming trend as it does not allow
for proper checks and balances on the government and
its activities The people of our country need to re-
member that in order to have a strong democracy they
need a strong and free press

Our Future Earth
- Hiya Purswani VIII B
We all know the present condition of our environment
around us Inspite of advanced and modern technolo-
gy we humans are still not able to find a solution
Early humans neither they had much technology nor
they had enough intelligence but still in the early ages
the environment was clean making it the reason for
the increasing life span of humans Its a shocking
news to know that the amount of plastic bottles pro-
duced now may lead to increase in plastic pollution
and cause several death
Its a great opportunity to be as a human in this beauti-
ful earth and so itrsquos our responsibility to make it
clean In monsoon people cut down trees to prevent
accidents to occur but do we plant trees in summer to
prevent more global warming We can prevent bad
things to happen but not cannot take that much efforts
for good things to spread Have you ever wondered
while seeing a tap open how many taps are left open
at the same time in the whole world It might sound
unbelievable there can be a World War III on water
land and fresh air The way we are thinking about the
wastage of water may lead us to a massive pain I trsquos
truly said by Warren Buffet sometimes to buy things
we need we have to sell things we do not need This
happens in the case of lacking of intelligence We say
every scholar is a true genius but in my opinion a per-
son is genius if he has the ability to save and change
things in his own way We all have the ability to save
this earth but our thoughts our ego and our greedi-
ness is stopping us to think in a better way rdquoEveryone
has a good and a bad side in his life What matters is
the part we choose to act upon rdquoThis is an excellent
thought said by Sirius Black in the movie Harry Pot-
ter Itrsquos time to bring a change
We always have time to do good things all we need is
hope Spreading awareness is the best idea to bring a
change If everyone stops thinking about their eco-
nomical needs and start contributing towards the envi-
ronment by planting more trees certainly there will be
a beneficial change in this world Neither do we think
about the future nor care about the present Why not
be an optimist and think in a positive way of life Our
studies our needs our knowledge will not help us in
any way if we donrsquot change Its not that easy to plant a
tree and care for it a whole year but if we only plant it
with all our love nature is certainly going to care for
it Lastly I would like to end with a quote Come
forth in the light of things nature will be your teach-
er
Endeavor
- Heet Shripal Kankariya VII-G
It is hard to recall the past
but good thoughts are forever
Remember the step you took
May it be stupid or clever
Though the time runs out
your hope should never
Dont lose ittry and endeavor
Do your best even if the conse-
quences make your work the worst
Try and try and make your work better
It is hard to recall the past
but good thoughts are forever
Remember the step you took maybe stupid or clever

The Aloof Humans - A curse to mother
earth - Vaijayanthimala Navneet VIII-J
With all the night strength and gust
Preserving nature is must
Mother Nature has been so lucrative
Letrsquos do something to save her
Something new and creativersquo
Let us get pollution under control
Before mother Earth weeps and implores
Let clean air sweep
Both high and deep
Let the tiny piece of land
Be clean tidy and neat
Let uncontaminated water be
So that everything doesnrsquot
end like the sea
Let the tree stand
lsquoCause it is more alluring than the seven colour band
Without being loquacious
Mother nature is indeed precious
The Little girl
- Bhumika Sharma VI-F
I found in a garage
Near the carriage
A tiny little baby girl
She had cute blue eyes
Which were very small in size
And had beautiful hair with a cute little curl
I wonder why she was there
And she came fromhellipwhere
I then asked a person passing on the road
If he knew the merciless who
kept her near the horses and
toads
The person replied ldquoWho cares
O Madamhellip
hellipFor a girl who is denied by her
dad and mum
I felt very sad and cried
But I saved her lest she died
Who will save many such girls
Imagine a world without these pearls
Treat them with respect and love
The Little Guest - Ashwathy Ganesh VI ndashD
It was rainy season
At home came a pigeon
It made its nest and was a pest
But there came another guest
Who shooed away the little pest
First there was nothing but a basket of twigs
And I watched it eating figs
When the thunder came with the rain
I got a bit scared
But it didnrsquot fly away
Because I took care
Soon there were three small
eggs
Which were taken care of by the guest
The bird is easy to guess
Because it doesnrsquot make a mess
With its red tail
It looked a bit frail
Between the plants green full full
Was the nest of the little Bulbul

The Art of Dharma as per Mahabharata
- Abhishek Singh [Teacher SrSecondary]
Dharma means the Duty or RighteousnessDharma is
subtle many times we are forced to take wrong
means for right means(and ends us like Arjuna in hell)
or reaches wrong ends following right means(like
Yudhishthira in exile)Its like the Ying and Yang
Duryodhanarsquos envy for the Pandvarsquos Indraprastha and
Yudhishthirarsquos greed or addiction to a game of dice
and win more territory was the main cause of war
The envy can result in healthy competitiveness raising
oneself up by making the envious work harder for
rivalrsquos possessions or eternal sickness to pull the rival
downThe envy and greed are both presents even in
the
modern day world the failure
of communism was caused by
envy among citizens while the
capitalist system is stranded by greed The aim of so-
ciety should not be to suppress these feelings among
its citizens but to channelize them productively Envy
is the vice of socialism Greed is the evil of capital-
ism
Dharma is not justice Its difference between Retribu-
tive Justice and forgiveness While a nation with
stronger legal laws can prefer justice over peace the
newly created or war-torn nations with weaker legal
laws should prefer to restore peace and harmony in
society rather than emphasizing justice
Beware You are in for a scare
- Ayush Lonakadi IX-C
I had returned home late but after reaching home I had
wished I had not reached home that day There was no
electricity which just made it creepier When I
reached my room my exhaustion made me forget that
I was famished I lay on the bed scrolling down pic-
tures I had recently clicked I relived happy moments
but someone out there wasnrsquot happy to see me happy
and I noticed a photograph in my phone which be-
mused me ndash not mentioning how frightened I had be-
come
The picture waswashow can I explain The back-
ground was of my house In the photoI was
sleeping Butbut how could that have been possi-
ble I lived alone there was no one to click my photo
while I was sleeping I was petrified with my eyes
wide open and my whole body was horror-struck
Then all the unwanted noises came into focus ndash the
noises from outside noises of something creaking and
the wind forcefully blowing through the thin slit of the
window eerily
I was panic-stricken I
quickly switched my
phone off and kept it on
the table beside and did
not bother about changing my clothes and covered my
face with a blanket and hugged it tightly I could not
even think of sleeping Every second the clock ticked
I hugged the blanket harder My face and chest were
drenched in sweat I felt some supernatural move-
ments around me something trying to reach out to
me
By then I was praying to God to take me away from
that place I was ready to die Then something hap-
pened and I became frantic from tip to toe lsquoIt is Tues-
day todayrsquo The virtual assistant of my phone said but
I clearly remembered that I had switched off my
phone Who asked the question It was this trauma
that I couldnrsquot bear and today I am here telling you
this story after turning into a roaming soul Look to
your right I am right beside you

Travelling Aaryan Aggarwal IX - B
Travelling is an experience It doesnrsquot matter where
you travel Every place is great in its own ways You
could go to a culturally rich yet underdeveloped place
or you could go to an advanced metropolitan place
You could travel slow paced or you could be adven-
turous and go off the beaten path You could go to the
beach you could go to a museum It wonrsquot matter as
wherever you go you will always get a new and
different experience The experiences will open your
mind to a whole new world and culture which will
change your understanding and preconceived notions
about that place You will also get an opportunity to
detoxify yourself from social media Thus I believe
that travelling is more than just a hobby and can
change your entire thought process and state of
mind
Wallflower
- Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
She lived under a rock
More by force than by will
She lived there so long
She had nothing to fight with
All these people pushing her down
Her feeble frame could fight no long
She vowed to never stop the struggle
Until she had on her temples the crown
Declaring to the world her change
after years bygone
From being the young shy girl they saw
But all this struggle slowly had her crumbling
As she withered her dreams fading
Cause promises are sometimes left undone
When fate decides to yield a gun
And the world never saw the light
Of a wallflower wishing to shine so bright
Being Myself -Nidhi Mishra VIII-G
I did never lie to myself
Never strived to be someone else
And so I never shy
To look myself straight in the eye
I did never hide myself
And lavish a priceless gift
Having lsquolifersquo as its spell
Being myself Irsquoll uplift
Life is too short
Donrsquot be someone else
A onetime offer we have got
Even more precious than a thousand jewels

Women Empowerment - Devangi Dongre VII-B
The abilities of women in making decisions educa-
tion and profession have been largely suppressed
since ages considering them inferior to men The sit-
uation is worst in underdeveloped and developing na-
tions where women in a family are not allowed to
take financial decisions or decide on matters regard-
ing their own educationWith such state of affairs it
would be a fallacy to dream about the goals of sus-
tainable development and gender equality There is an
instant need to take measures to lift the social
personal and professional
status of women bringing
them shoulder to shoulder

LunaVenture Beyond Horizons
- Aaryan Aggarwal IX-B
He looked from afar at his towering creation A re-
mote island in the Pacific Ocean seemed like a great
refuge after what had been happening on the Earth
He chose secrecy as his mission had raised many eye-
brows The plan was simple lsquoEscape and start overrsquo
Right now Moon seemed to be the most viable option
in terms of survival The research had been done
Moon was habitable So close to our abode our cos-
mic neighbor the Moon must exist for a reason It-
will not just be a secondary habitat but also be a step-
ping stone for further progress
His meticulously crafted plan was now just minutes
away from execution A team of four explorers would
first leave Earth and explore the Moon to test his hy-
pothesis Once a temporary col-
ony using genetically engi-
neered pods containing human
embryos is set up they would
further analyze the surroundings and find ways to
make it more habitable The lesser gravitational pull
which allowed for a comparatively lower escape ve-
locity made it easier to transport resources from the
Earth or the ISS Sure it would be difficult at first
Earth is unmatched but he knew it was for the greater
good of mankind It would mean more opportunities
and help us understand our place in this universe
Right now we have confined ourselves in a box and
this is the only way to leave it and unleash the won-
ders of the universe In front of his eyes it flew never
to come back

Make the Choice
-Nidhi Mishra VIII-G
My vision reflects its flaming intention
Irsquom steady upon the decision
About which Irsquoll never disclaim
Accepting the outcome never blame
To impulse refer those achieves
Itrsquos your resolve donrsquot quit
There wasnrsquot any lose that grieves
There was just a lesson in it
I turn down to immure oneself
In the decision of mine
I possess optimism in myself
And so I believe everything
will be fine
Though it may be tough
To perceive ones way to success
A dose of victory isnrsquot enough
Itrsquos always limitless
Television Pros and Cons
- Soumya Sheth
What do most of the people do these days to entertain
themselvesEveryone likes to switch ON their televi-
sion sets which is one of the exceptional inventions of
science When our Dads come home tired after office
the first thing they would like to do is switch On the
TV and relax while watching it from his sofa seat
This is because while watching different things that
are broadcasted on TV we forget our worries and re-
grets of the day
However like every good and popular inventions tel-
evision also has its set of some worrying habits that
people get hitched to For example sometimes kids
watch it for extensive time thereby affecting their
studies This is one of the most worrying habit for par-
ents and we should know that ignoring studies is not
good for our future and studying is as much important
for us at this tender age more than anything elseItrsquos
true that television can bring us the knowledge from
across the world We can see different parts of the
world virtually sitting at the same place But we
should know how
we can use this
incredible inven-
tion of science in
the right and bene-
ficial way for us Now-a-days Smart TVs have be-
come even more popular We can even use internet on
those TVs Use Google to search for answers we donrsquot
know use YouTube to understand how things are
made or get our doubts cleared and much much more
To summarize it I would like to urge all my fellow
students to use this precious invention of science in a
way that will benefit you to gain constructive
knowledge and avoid destructive knowledge We
should know that television is not the world but only a
small component of this world Please know that there
are other things in life which we should enjoy too
along with giving utmost importance to our studies

The night before the final examination
-Marisha Nath VIII- C
The night before the final examination appears to all
examinees as the night before the Battle of Waterloo
might have appeared to Napoleon or the Duke of Wel-
lington Our system of education being what it is we
examinees are bound to be anxious about the nature of
the nature of the questions we will have to answer
next day Even an earnest student who has done all
that needs be done by way of nervousness uncertainty
and suspense on the night before the examination The
morning of the examination finds them prostate with
nervous disorder
But this is one side the picture There are students
who may be described as soldiers of fortune They are
daredevil youngsters who do not take their examina-
tions seriously But their lack of preparation is more
than made up for by the short cuts or bazar notes they
have provided themselves with Even on the night
before the examina-
tion they would be
going about their
daily rounds They
may be found in the parks cafes and restaurants talk-
ing about tips ndashtalking glibly and confidently about
what questions are sure to come The morning of the
examination finds them as cheerful as they were on
the night before
What is needed most is self-confidence and a cool
head True we do not remember all that we have read
when we go to the Examination Hall This does not
mean that we have forgotten them Many things re-
main in the sub ndashconscious region They jump into
consciousness when we face the questions and seri-
ously think of the answers Often such answers score
more marks than prepared ones
Elegance
-Prajna VIII-D
Elegant you be for the universe to learn your versatility
Brighter you shine the orb will know your sustenance
The stars moons and clouds let know your dignity
Apparently it seems your flawless abundance
The ideal triumph mustnrsquot be exaggerated
Till you salve someonersquos hurt
Elegant you be for the universe to learn your versatility
How can you be silent if you donrsquot know your efficiency
One of the values to become successful is simplicity
Through elegance letrsquos spread positivist

Chocoland - Talreja Aastha IV-J
Once I had been to the Chocolate Land
Chocolate all around to the reach of my hand
Toffees candies lollies and bars
In my mouth a crunchy munchy war
White dark nutty and sweet
Just like a dreamy treat
Colourful wrapper shiny and bright
Which one to choose which would be right
Houses made of chocolates and doors made of bars
And out stood there a chocolate car
Soon after it was 6 oclock
And could hear the doorrsquos knock
I woke up in a hurry
Just to realise that it was a dream

The ant and the elephant
- SOUMEN RAO IV-E
Once upon a time in a forest there lived an ant and an
elephant The elephant was the biggest among all the
elephants So he was very proud of himself and used
to criticize everyone and the ant which was the tiniest
among them was very happy and cheerful It used to
help everyone I its own way
All the animals in the forest used to complain about
the egoistic elephant So one day when the ant saw the
elephant walking towards it it immediately thought of
a plan As soon as the elephant came near the ant
said ldquoHello My friendrdquo but the elephant replied rude-
ly saying ldquoYou tiny
ant Get off my way
otherwise yoursquoll get
crushed to deathrdquo
Hearing this ant
challenged the elephant sayingrdquo My big friend I can
make you cryrdquo The ant quickly climbed onto the trunk
of the elephant and ran towards its earit went inside
the ear and started biting the elephants ear The ele-
phant tried to flap its ears but in vain After a few
minutes tears started rolling down its eyes It cried
ldquoPlease come out of my ear I canrsquot bear the painrdquo As
soon as the ant came out the elephant apologized for
its mistake and didnrsquot tease any animals from that day
Grandparents
-Aditya Patil VIII-E
The best place in vacation
A heaven like destination
Their love for us is endless
All their sacrifices are worthless
Great is their surrounding divinity
In front of our ordinary identity
To your grandparents never be rude
Because they are your
coolest dude
They yell at our parents
when we are shouted
With generosity and be-
nevolence they are bounded
Be sure to always meet your grandparents once in a
while and enhance yourself by their presence

Women Empowerment
- Devangi Dongre VII-B
The abilities of women in making decisions education and profession have
been largely suppressed since ages considering them inferior to men The situa-
tion is worst in underdeveloped and developing nations where women in a fami-
ly are not allowed to take financial decisions or decide on matters regarding their own education
With such state of affairs it would be a fallacy to dream about the goals of sustainable development and gen-
der equality There is an instant need to take measures to lift the social personal and professional status of
women bringing them shoulder to shoulder with men These particular measures constitute a process which
is known as ldquoWomen Empowermentrdquo Providing better education and employment opportunities to women
ensuring their better health providing justice and ensuring professional equivalence are the few methods of
women empowerment
Water Conservation
- Paarth Bhagat VII-J
Water is life If there was no water there would be no
life Hence water is the precious gift of God to mother
Earth We cannot imagine our lives without water
We human beings are made up of water it is the only
transportation medium that carries the food molecules
and oxygen to the cells of every body parts to help the
blood It signifies that water is the most essential in-
gredient to the functioning of life of every organism
So you see living this wonderful life is impossible
without water
Water is the force behind all the industry agriculture
manufacturing and trade and commerce All forms of
energy generation is done using water Be it hydroe-
lectrically projects or thermal power plant or nuclear
power plant water is
the key ingredient in
all of them There
would be no power
without water No
water no life
So it is our responsibility to conserve this life nectar
It is possible only through by changing our outlook
towards this wonderful natural resource We must en-
sure there is no pollution of water bodies by dumping
any waste such as sewage effluents and other toxic
substances We must also ensure there is no emission
of green-house gases into the atmosphere The people
and the government must ensure installation of efflu-
ents and smoke treatment plants at industrial garbage
and sewage units

The kind Fairies -Aditys Patil VIII-E
This story starts with two beautiful babies in a king-
dom called fairyland The babies were very pretty
Their names were Ovi and Riddhi They were growing
pretty well As they grew they became more and
more pretty Over and over they were also fairies and
within 5 years they became young girls Their mother
told them to go to school The girls askedwhere are
the schools There are no schools here Mother said
dont worry you will go to the planet Earth On the
planet Earth there is a very good school named New
Horizon Public School and the short form is nhps We
said ok On the first day of our school we were very
afraid but after a few days we
became more smart than the
others We were getting a lot of
prizes which we shared with
eveyone in the school This
made us and others happy One day We became the
princess of fairyland Our wings were like a rainbow
We were twins and had very long hairs Now I end
my story with a beautiful quote
ALWAYS HELP EACH OTHER LIKE THE
FARIES BECAUSE HELPING PEOPLE IS THE
PATH TO GOD
The Day Irsquoll Never Forget - Saranya Sarangi VII -
It was a day of love and affection
There was no visible sign of caution
But something unfortunate was going to happen
Nobody knew where and when
There was a blast at half past three
In a beauty land called Paradise On Earth
A complete silence and pity hadnrsquot the thee
Perished laid the martyrs
Whom our motherland gave birth
I still remember that scaring sight
The scattered limbs I couldnrsquot see
My heart got filled with grief and fright
No Indian could glee
Terribly writhing the soldiers were seen
Some families languished and some
were crying
So loyal to their country they had been
None of their families were mollifying
Whatever homage to our martyrs we pay
Tiny before their they lay
Salute to their tribute to motherland
To protect us they always walked hand in hand
Little Birdie - Marisha Nath VIII-C
I am a little birdie in the sky
With two wings to fly
I never disturb you
I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom
O human Then why do you steal my FREEDOM
Binding me alone in the cage makes me sad
Donrsquot you know caging a bird is bad
Looking at the sky
I wish I could fly
I never disturb you
I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom
O human Then why do you steal my
FREEDOM

Summers in India - Saranya Sarangi VIII
A hot season beginning from April till May is what we
call summer And thatrsquos the basic rule in India But
thatrsquos not something through which we can define
summers in our country India The sun shining high
above the head increasing the heat and this scorching
heat is something very unique about summers in India
Those ice-lolly stalls roaming down the streets tin-
kling their tiny bells is something special one will nev-
er find in any other country Many people love this
season
Especially the children as they get to eat ice-creams
Many people even donrsquot As they feel that this season
can only make a person dehydrated exhausted and irri-
tated Summer as we think as an unfruitful season is
contrast in reality Schools conduct summer camps
during vacation where stu-
dents can join different aca-
demic and co-curricular
courses to improve them-
selves Many children even spend time with their fami-
lies
Often families plan trips to different places as they get
a very long vacation during this season But now-a-
days due to increasing heat these pleasant summers
are becoming unbearable Every just sweat and sweat
We get a lethargic feeling not ready to do any work
Due to this heat we continually keep the ACs on which
consume a lot of electricity creating trouble for our
mother Earth and us Gradually that charm of the
unique kind of summers will be lost if precautions are
not taken We must really hope and work hard to bring
back our lovely lsquoSummers in Indiarsquo
Exams are good or bad
- Nupoor Teli VIIIndashI
In my humble opinionexams are apressure on the stu-
dents They are forced to study and score good
markswhich can lead to frustration An environmentof
competitivenessof standing first is created for which
students keep on studying day and night without any
recreation It is good to studybut not just for the sake
of gaining marks
Why do we study What is the main intention behind
education Seeking intersresting and fascinating
knowledge as well as facts about the world But now-a
-daysthe main reason for studying is gaining marks If
there are no marksno career andno success This is the
mindset of 70 people of the worldespecially parents
They pressurize their children so much that they get
depressed or sometimes attempt suicide as well
Every two months an exam is conducted Moreo-
verthere are projectssubject-enrichment activi-
tieschapter test sfter every topicnotebookfile submis
sion etcAnd as acherry on top
of the cakewe have the semes-
ter exams of eighty marks as
well What all will the students
do And even if any extra-
curricular activities are being learntthen more extra
studies Just studystudy and study
Why so much of tension on the children Under this
tension only they start cheating As time passes cheat-
ing becomes a habit of their life
I fell that exams should be conducted once a term in
order to evaluate whether the students are clear with
the concepts or notThey shouldnt be pressurized for
their marksbut should be made understand their mis-
takes Let them choose their own career options on
their own Help them knowwhat they like to study and
what they want to do in their life So dont pressurize
students for what they dont likeand encourage them in
what they do After allthey are only the Rising stars of
the country

Life is magical - Piyush Sahoo VII-H
A new day or a new night
Everything in life seems bright
A new morning or a new evening
Life is full of happening
A life is just like a kite
It may disappear in a sight
Life moves from baby to old
Make your life challenging and bold
Enjoy life the fullest
Never accept less than best
Unlikely life comes to an end
But remember never to bend
Happy sadness victory and loss
Accept it the way it comes
Life can be at times tragical
But make it the most beautiful
Life is magicalhellip
Life is so magicalhellip
Humility -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
Humility is having a heart to treat others with respect
and love Considering people worthy of your love
time and efforts regardless of who they are or what
they have done A person is truly humble when they
are willing to work hard for others expecting nothing
in return
Humility has the power to change a personrsquos perspec-
tive towards life It can make a difference in the way a
person is looked upon by others Doing an act of hum-
bleness can make a personrsquos day Humility is about
not having an ego or considering things below your
dignity or considering yourself greater than others
People often confuse humility with self-respect They
canrsquot make out the difference between being useful to
others and being used by others
It takes courage to be humble
because in the era in which we
live humility is looked upon as
weakness People assume yoursquore not strong enough to
stand up for yourself They think you surrender in-
stead of protesting They will despise and scorn you
but they donrsquot know that you take pleasure in what
you do because they havenrsquot experienced that kind of
joy
So if you do have humility donrsquot draw back from it
because of what others think Whatever you are doing
is for the good of others and you have no need to be
ashamed of that Humbleness will spread from person
to person Who knows maybe your one act of humili-
ty will spread on to help a person in need So be brave
be humble
Mom -Tanvi Sawant VII-C

Oh mom yoursquore the candle that showed the way in the
dark

OUR FUTURE EARTH - Hiya Purswani VIII-B
We all know the present condition of our environment
around us Inspite of advanced and modern technolo-
gy we humans are still not able to find a solution
Early humans neither they had much technology nor
they had enough intelligence but still in the early ages
the environment was clean making it the reason for
the increasing life span of humans Its a shocking
news to know that the amount of plastic bottles pro-
duced now may lead to increase in plastic pollution
and cause several death Its a great opportunity to be
as a human in this beautiful earth and so its our re-
sponsibility to make it clean In monsoon people cut
down trees to prevent accidents to occur but do we
plant trees in summer to prevent more global warm-
ing We can prevent bad things to happen but not can-
not take that much effort for good things to spread
Have you ever wondered while seeing a tap open how
many taps are left open at the same time in the whole
world It might sound unbelievable there can be a
World War III on water land and fresh air The way
we are thinking about the wastage of water may lead
us to a massive pain Itrsquos truly said by Warren Buffet
sometimes to buy things we need we have to sell
things we do not need This happens in the case of
lacking of intelligence We say every scholar is a true
genius but in my
opinion a person is
genius if he has the
ability to save and
change things in his
own way We all have the ability to save this earth
but our thoughts our ego and our greediness is stop-
ping us to think in a better way Everyone has a good
and a bad side in his life What matters is the part we
choose to act upon This is an excellent thought said
by Sirius Black in the movie Harry Potter Itrsquos time to
bring a change We always have time to do good
things all we need is hope Spreading awareness is the
best idea to bring a change If everyone stops thinking
about their economical needs and start contributing
towards the environment by planting more trees cer-
tainly there will be a beneficial change in this world
Neither do we think about the future nor care about
the present Why not be an optimist and think in a
positive way of life Our studies our needs our
knowledge will not help us in any way if we donʼt
change Its not that easy to plant a tree and care for it a
whole year if we only plant it with all our love nature
is certainly going to care for it Lastly I would like to
end with a quoterdquo Come forth in the light of things
nature will be your teacher
The Small Hours Pranjal Anil Chavan V-C
No more my little song Come back

Floods and Destruction
- Nirvi Soni IV-H
India faces occurrence of floods each year in some
parts of Assam during the rainy season Water of river
Brahmaputra rises and enters into many villages
causing great destruction Floods are unavoidable but
we need to take precautions in the following ways by
reducing mining activities building dams growing
more trees etc During floods the weather becomes
wet and gloomy Trees and plants get uprooted This
way floods cause great de-
struction to both life and
property It also becomes dif-
ficult to travel from place to
place Many people are left
homeless The rain water should be harvested and
stored in large storage tanks The harvested rainwater
can be used for washing clothes and cleaning By us-
ing rain water in our daily life we can preserve water
resources

Surrounded by a beautiful castle
Decorated with the colourful tassel
Just be quiet and keen

Think before you speak
There are still places left for you
to seek
Think before you speak
There is a long way to go before
you sleep
Think before you speak
There are hearts you must
please

GLOBAL WARMING - Adhyant Singh VII-F
Global warming refers to the steady rise in the Earthrsquos mean temperature The effect of global
warming had come into sight when polar ice caps started melting this phenomena is called ICE ndash
ALBEDO the ice caps melt faster due to the rise in the temperature This sudden rise in the temperature near
the poles began in 1999 The polar ice caps in Antarctica melt at the rate of 400000000000 tons per year ac-
cording to some scientists it would approximately take 5000 years to melt the total ice on earth In 2013 Inter-
governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) stated that the main cause of Global warming is human inter-
vention like emission of Green house gases like Carbon-Di-Oxide nitrous oxide and methane
These gases trap the heat which is reflected by the Earthrsquos surface thus increasing the temperature and also
destroying the ozone layer which prevents the ultraviolet rays of the sun from reaching the earthrsquos surface Al-
so burning fossil fuel contributes to the problem Effects of global warming have also led to the increase in the
sea level and extreme weather like heat waves and change in the regional pattern of precipitation and the ex-
pansion of desserts A concentrated and focused effort by the entire humanity can curb down the impact of
Global warming and also prevent it Planting more trees to control the amount of carbon-di-oxide eliminating
the use of chlorofluorocarbon or (CFCrsquoS) are a few steps All the countries have signed up with the United Na-
tions Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to prevent the doomsday of Earth So to prevent
earthrsquos doomsday we all must work together
Itrsquos not too late there is still timehellipBefore the earth ends and we whinehellipSo keep on marching and planting
greens To end Global Warming and Make our planet greenhellip

The Night - Matangi Rajesh VII-D
Its the night
The moon is white
When we switch off the light
What a beautiful sight
After this comes the sun bright
There is no more artificial light
This is the time to start your diet
To go for a run wearing tights
Then comes the evening when
you have snacks light
And fly a big colorful kite
or include your sibling in a pillow fight
Again comes the night
A moon which is white
We switch off the light
A beautiful sight

Indiarsquos Mars Orbiter mission or Mangalyaan an unmanned satellite today racing to rendezvous with the red
planet making India a part of a select club of 6 that have dared to undertake the over 680 million kilometer
journey The Indian Space Research Organization ISRO is the Space Agency of Government of India head-
quartered in the city of Bengaluru Its vision is to ldquoharness space technology ldquofor na-

Hyperloop -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
Human inventions have baffled the world They are
innumerable ranging from revolutionizing
smartphones to not-so-breathtaking ice cream cones
but they play a role in our life just the same The
things which are commonplace to us now were unbe-
knownst to people once upon a time For the people of
the 19th century the car was a thing of the future until
in 1885 Karl Benz ran his first car on the road Then
for centuries people took the prospect of of flying like
the birds as only a wild possibility which was made
possible in 1903 when the Wright Brothers flew the
first plane
What is the thing of the future for us Well we are the
future modifying and bettering the things that have
been made and crating stuff that we didnt even dare
to imagine about The Hyperloop fulfills both aspects
of the definition a very advanced model of our faith-
ful train and yet a brand new idea to scale greater
heights The Hyperloop is an ideal mode of efficient
transport Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane
with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing
speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt have to
ace the two types of friction that every other vehicle
has to face Air resistance and ground friction The
pods of the Hyperloop are propelled through a depres-
surized tub Since it is almost vacuum very little air
resistance can be offered inside the tube Due to this
the energy required to travel is also very less The Hy-
perloops unique technology uses magnetic levitation
to guide and lift the pods of the rail Since the pod is
not in contact with the ground there is no friction act-
ing on itThe first Hyperloop ndash virgin Hyperloop one
is set to run with passengers as early as 2021 and is
created by SpaceX and Tesla
The mastermind behind the Hyperloop is Elon Musk
who first published a 58 page white-paper on the web-
site of his company-Space X It was available to all
and was titled Hyperloop alpha The Hyperloop may
be the pioneer of a whole new era of transportation
traveling a distance which would otherwise take 12
hours in just I hour it has crossed all known bounda-
ries and created higher limits for us to reach and reach
we must for when time is money and money is time
an option that saves both needs to be used
Exams are good or bad -Nupoor Teli VIII
In my humble opinion exams are pressure on the stu-
dents They are forced to study and score good marks
which can lead to frustration An environment of com-
petitiveness of standing first is created for which stu-
dents keep on studying day and night without any rec-
reation It is good to study but not just for the sake of
gaining marks
Why do we study What is the main intention behind
education Seeking interesting and fascinating
knowledge as well as facts about the world But now-a
-days the main reason for studying is gaining marks
If there are no marks no career and no success This
is the mindset of 70 people of the world especially
parents They pressurize their children so much that
they get depressed or sometimes attempt suicide as
wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-
ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities
chapter test after every topic notebookfile submis-
sion etc And as cherry on top of the cake we have the
semester exams of eighty marks as well What all will
the students do And even if any extra-curricular ac-
tivities are being learnt then more extra studies Just
study study and study
Why so much of tension on the children Under this
tension only they start cheating As time passes cheat-
ing becomes a habit of their lifeI fell that exams
should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate
whether the students are clear with the concepts or
not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but
should be made understand their mistakes Let them
choose their own career options on their own Help
them know what they like to study and what they want
to do in their life So dont pressurize students for
what they dont like and encourage them in what they
do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the
country

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B
Life is all about interactions You meet people and
you interact You observe them consciously or sub-
consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us
more than we even realise Some people leave a last-
ing impression on us and entirely change the course of
life for better or for worse Some people influence us
help us go further and make all the difference
I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-
tial people They have taken care of me ever since I
came into this world They are the ones who wish the
best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-
cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel
no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-
come a part of my personality They are the ones who
helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me
to be better
When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are
the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-
takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique
learning experience It has made me realise how eve-
rything they do has a reason They are the ones who
have taught me the importance of the little things in
life They are the ones who have helped me recognize
and follow my passion The very thought of them not
being a part of my life is scary to the least as without
them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am
today and whatever I have achieved is all because of
them and I am very grateful of that
Eyesight
-Aditi Shenoy VIII-F
The tired little girl went to bed
Recollecting the days bygone
Seeing them in her dreams
As the day she was born
Trying to see the world
With her little eyes
But the sun with his brightness
Wouldnt let her catch the sights
The girl still eager
And curious to see the world around her
Again opened her eyes
But her vision was blurred
Still she did not lose hope
Which flowed through her blood
Encouraging and pushing her
To see the world further
Her heart beating fast
Her enthusiasm increasing
She slowly tried to see
With her eyes continuously blinking
Starting to lose hope
She was ready to give up
But curiosity got the upper hand
And pushed her forward
With her hope again rising
and strength in her eyesight
She is finally seeing the world
With wide open eyes

Conquering the space
-Marisha Nath VIII-C
ldquoThere is no failure in Science it is only continual
effort to conquer the unknown On the way even if we
face failure it rather adds more value to our effort for
our next journey to know the unknownrdquo
Chandrayan-2 Indiarsquos Moon Mission The dream of
entire India to land on moon and become the 4th Na-
tion in the world to put its flag on the soil of moon
after USSR USA amp China
ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launched
Chandrayan-2 on 22nd July 2019 from Bengaluru
(Satish Dhawan Space Center) under the command of
ISRO chief K Shivan It consists of ORBITER
LANDER amp Lunar Rover PRAGYAN Like Chandra-
yan-1(22nd Oct2008) it was Indiarsquos indigenous moon
mission
It touched the Moon Surface on Saturday early morn-
ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-
ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-
ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of
moon it lost contact with the ground station Because
of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be
monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m
(approx) away from its assigned location near
SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still
orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange
signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it
The ORBITER which will remain active for another
12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-
owed portion of the moon for the first time in history
with the help of its high-resolution camera
The entire Nation irrespective of their field of
knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front
of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of
VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true
Indians who always dream progress and development
of their motherland But our heart never accepts this
as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement
for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-
pose of our mission
But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at
this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring
country quoting this as a big failure on part of India
blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos
money on this
Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will
be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to
this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other
nations on such missions
Further I should say that India is not new in the field
of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-
TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975
It was named after famous scientist of ancient India
ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested
for the first time the HELIOCENTRIC THEORY
(Sun at the center and all planets revolve around the
Sun) of the Solar System much earlier than ready for
New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 57
COPERNICUS as believed in the western world
Other countries might have moon on their flags but
we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is
great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are
whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-
rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is
only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the
unknown and its continual application for the benefit
of the mankind)rdquo
Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by
various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-
PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-
cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958
onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as
46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was
attempted out of which only 21 was successful
Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-
tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the
overall attempts conducted by other Nations
USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-
NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was
planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January
SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR
successfully on moon
NASA after many attempts was successful to send
first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th
July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk
on moon
Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-
clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-
SION MANGAL for our next moon mission

Savior of all Nikita V IXndash A
Our country is safe
Because of you
You protect our country today
And forever yoursquoll do
The tri-colour will glare
Because you are there
And the feelings of love with
Our country we share
Bravery in your fights
And surgical strikes
Salute to you and all
The almighty soldiers
I pledge my glory and
will always be proud of your story
Self Confidence
Anirudh Shetti VI B
Self Confidence is an attitude that allows you to move
forward and achieve your goals Self confidence
means believing in yourself It is an ability that makes
the human believe in himself For example Tim was a
boy who had a stage fear One day he was selected for
the assembly as a reporter On the day of assembly
Tim was very scared to go on the stage Then he
thought about Self confidence Long ago his mother
said him that if a person has Self confidence he can
cross away all the difficulties in his life So at that
time Tim forgot all the fear and became a self confi-
dent boy
On assembly he reported beautifully and he was the
best reporter in the assembly There are some more
other positives like positive thinking concentration
good manners being kind etc Like Theodore Roose-
velt said ldquoEach time we face fear we gain strength
courage and confidence in the doingrdquo I will conclude
my article with this quote ldquoBelieve in yourself and
you will be unstoppablerdquo
Pencil
-Aadya Agarwal V
Once I was drawing with a pencil
But to draw proper shape I need a stencil
I was using a pencil to write a phrase
I wrote it wrong then the teacher said ldquoErase Eraserdquo
I lost my pencil
But it was with my friend Jencil
With that pencil I drew a triangle and a rectangle
But I was not able to find its angle
In English I had to complete punctuation marks
With help of that pencil James drew many sharks
In science there was a chemical blast
My teacher said ldquopencilrsquos life is very vastrdquo
Once more I lost my pencil
It was stuck in my hair
Once again i lost my pencil
But this time it was lost in a fair

Taras intelligence
- Pritika Manohar kadam VIII ndashD
Once upon a time there lived a couple near the town
They were just married and expected a child After a
year they had twins Both were charming Their
names were Yash and Tara
Tara was expected to do the household work and
Yash was to go to school and do a job Tara was an
very intelligent girl so she used to take her brothers
old books and study on her own
One fine day she asked her brother Why every time
I have to do the household work and not study like
you Her brother asked many people but got a com-
mon answer that girls are not meant to study
So both of them decided to ask their father He gave a
confusing answer that if Tara wants to go to school I
can help her to learn and write but which school will
give her admission I cant fight for one girl
She understood what he meant so Tara had an idea
about that She gathered her friends and told them the
importance of education
Next day she gathered them and
went to her father and said you
wont help one girl (me) so can
you help us to study Her father was impressed by her
intelligenceHe took them to the principal who was
his friend and requested him several times about the
admission of the girls
At last one day he agreed to take the admission of
those girls They started going to school everyday
The problem was all the people were frustrated They
used to throw garbage near their house and also say
abusing words Also stop the ways of the girls for
going to school
They also took the house of Tara and Yash They
used to live in a hut with those girls as well
The people used to throw stones on them The girls
did not lose their hopes and studied hard All those
after many years started working in office
The people were proud afterwards and they started a
girls school They gave back house of Yash and Tara
The ordeal to say a lsquogoodbyersquo
-Nidhi Mishra VIII-G
Together we laughed
Together we wept
Myriad fond impressions We kept
Jointly we danced like daisy
We didnrsquot bother about others
We chuckled like crazy
Concerning about the fussy was tempestuous
Together we were scintillating
We were engrossed in
Our cackles were uplifting
Something was sinister I remained keen
That gloominess was undesirable
Not you but our disunion was near
Our parting was lamentable
The distance between us was my fear
Our disunion was forthcoming
I wished I could quit it
Tears from our eyes were running
With those yet we had to split
Years had flown by
Not the echo
The ordeal to say a

And to lose a loyal oppo

My dream House
-Harshith Nair IX-B
Voila I have shifted to my new house
Away from those lizards and that cunning mouse
That was once a basic and simple house
Now canrsquot get over the whoaas and wowws
Ancient doors and artefacts with a palatial tinge
Enter and you would feel yoursquove got wings
Vintage artefacts and interiors add to the glam
quotient
A gramophone an antique
telephone that take you to an
era thatrsquos ancient
To me and my brotherrsquos surprise therersquos an excit-
ing bunk bed
Now who sleeps on the top therersquos gonna be a
bloodshed
I hate boasting but this onersquos the icing on the
cake
Let me tell you friends this was a dream all
fake
Friendship
-Divya Johnson VIII ndash I
Friendship has no form
sometimes it makes us feel secure and warm
Sometimes leaves us cold and forlorn
and sometimes gives us the power to go on
We mistake it often for something materializing
but itrsquos free and artistic
It is hard to catch
no other virtue has its match
Indomitable Earth - Poorvi Sanu IX ndashG
Our global crisis has created a cure
No A treatment for what is in the store
New seasons simmer shorelines bore
Plastics not fake its sweet
Everlasting a love we adore
Are you sure
Intestinal hurdle artwork framed
Mammals fattened by unnatural floating
Wild material machine Unseen
Where does your waste ream
What can I do
It takes more than
one It takes society
Globally to do what
needs to be done
Our footprint is mas-
sive weighty
Join Mother Earth
On our journey here and abroad
Full of disbelief and open scorn
Itrsquos worth the attempt to help her adorn
To help her heal her sores prevent more welts

Travelling via train -Aditya Patil VIII-E
Travelling is a prominent and a fun-learning activity of
our life It introduces us to new people their culture
and enhances skills that are essential in our lives
Travelling gives a wonderful experience to the travel-
ers especially by train I am being so sight to write the
essay lsquocause guess what ldquoI AM TRAVELLING IN
THE BUMPY TRAINrdquo hearing the quarrels for seats
with the bumps of the train
Train to me is the most favourite mode of transport for
long journeys I am sure even others love travelling via
train inspite of the long journey and time But if its
with families or with bachelor friends therersquos no one
stopping them from being happy During travelling we
also get familiar to stops during the journey where
people get off and enter This introduces us to the cul-
ture of those regions
and thatrsquos what makes our
India famous and legend-
ary We also get to eat
those India-famous snacks
from all over India like lsquoShehgaon kachorirsquo lsquo Kol-
hapuri misalrsquo and I would stop here or else I know
your mouth is watering and you wanna eat this
This is what travelling is It increases our general
knowledge as we get across so many new things Trav-
elling by train is much more affordable than aero-
planes where we just have to sit and enjoy the luxury
Travelling will also introduce you to all kinds of peo-
ple like the innocent ones the fighters the caring ones
who surrender themselves for you and sometimes the
people you know So to enjoy these beautiful moments
of life travel once or twice a year to refresh your-
selves
Control Yourself - Suvan Lokhande IX-A
Controlling yourself is something great that you have
achieved in your whole life Controlling a particular
thing with which you get addicted is a big thing Dur-
ing puberty children get addicted to various bad things
such as food mobile TV or maybe food
ldquoControl Yourself Kidrdquo ldquoDone not more than
thisrdquo ldquoControlrdquo such types of sentences maybe
familiar to you which must be said by your mom dad
teachers and your elders But thatrsquos exactly true what
they say I know that itrsquos difficult to leave a particular
thing with which you get addicted But still if you
leave it certainly this can make an impact in your life
I mean to say that leave only bad things and not the
good things like reading or studying Believe it every-
thing is possible in this whole world If Neil Arm-
strong can go to moon then why cannot you leave your
bad habit Lets take an example a
boy who likes to eat a lot he may
like to eat Chinese Continental
Asian and whatever But you must
take care of your fitness too We can
eat whatever we want but in a limit
If you start practicing such good practices you can
surely be the one who has changed his whole life to a
certain life
And these changes can definitely make you proudAt
last my opinions may have some differences but eve-
ryday we get to learn something from our daily experi-
ences And I truly believe that if we make a decision
and start opting it in our daily life we can surely our-
selves make a change in our whole life At last I con-
vey that you need to control yourself and follow this
motto in your lifehelliphellipControl Yourself amp Be the
Change

The earth is full of surprises
Just look around yourself
It can be anywhere around you
Even somewhere in your bookshelf
The most surprising is nature
Itrsquos full of different stuff
It can be a human or thing or even a creature
We humans made strong big buildings
And thatrsquos what we think is great
But look deep in nature
You will find trees plants and Animals everywhere
Some may be mild And some may be wild
Mother nature provides us with our needs
And still we use it for our greeds
Letrsquos join hands together
To save this marvelous creation

Anger Management
- Sfurti Kumbhar IX-A
AngerhellipThe worst of emotions It causes a LOT of
problems Like damaged friendships separated fami-
lies to list a few The list is long But as many people
have tried and failed controlling anger can be impos-
sible at times when the little fuse in your brain blows
off Let us discuss controlling anger today
Basically anger management seems and sounds im-
possible But as it turns out it isnrsquot Itrsquos really simple
To be honest I am a cranky person Even the slightest
bit of annoying thing or the face of an irritating person
blows my fuse off So well yeah Irsquom trying to get it
under control Sort of
Impossible right Managing anger sounds easy You
can distract yourself from the situation Permanently
fix an imaginary meter in your brain which indicates
anger level My meter is always near 50-60 When I
say that Irsquom a cranky person you can see that I mean
it
As I was saying the meter Anytime you feel that the
meter is rising just find some ways to control it Like
the classic ldquodrink cool water to cool down your warm
headrdquo or breathe Listen to your fav music Or ask
yourself this simple question
ldquoIs getting angry at this person or screaming at them
going to improve my day in any way whatsoeverrdquo
If the answer is yes go ahead Scream all that you
want at the person and improve your day But if the
answer is no STOP yourself in time Maybe make
yourself an anger dice Or breathe in Out And may-
be the classic as mentioned above
Frankly these ways have helped me to reduce my
ldquofuse blowing offrdquo times since grade 4 Anger may be
one of the smartest issues but we are smarter
You are a masterpiece - Tisha Gangar VIII-A
There are songs in your eyes
Singing lullabies
The voice is so pretty

With an end number of skills
Creativity is your strength
Keep safe till the end

Monsoon -Isha Bhanushali VIII
The most alluring part in monsoon season is the way
people tackle them Every where you scan people are
struggling back to reach their home back safely and it
indeed gives you a sense of achievement when you
reach home without getting drained by the gushing
water the automobiles blow on youWell my case is a
little bit different Every time I attempt not to step in-
side the puddle the next step will certainly be inside
it
It was raining heavily that day and unlike my usual
days it was a special one I got dispersed from my
classes by 600 and not aware about the conditions
outside I stepped outside expecting my van to pick
me up Suddenly there was gloomy all around and
there was silence everywhere (huh Because the light
went off) and to add insult to injury I got a call from
my Sir that the van will be com-
ing 1 hour late
I after a while made up my
mind I will set out and go on
my ownI took my umbrella and set out with my
friend The roads were all muddy and the water
reached up to my ankle The situation got testified as
it started raining heavily We all expected the rain to
stop after a while but it was adamant throwing its
tantrums on us All over the road there were vehicles
parked and there was no way to move
But not giving up we carried forward to reach our des-
tination After a long tiring journey of 1km (which
took us almost 1hr) we reached our home safely I had
a feeling of accomplishing a big feat that day
But the climax is here
I had to listen to my Moms scolding
Yes because I had stepped inside a big puddle
Soldier - Marisha Nath VIII-C
Dear soldier you sacrifice yourself for your nation
But people think itrsquos your job not your passion
You are a warrior
You are our savior
You are in the list of Godrsquos golden fame
But alas No book mentions your name

Man Woman and Equality Poorvi Sanu IX-G
Why are women considered inferior to men Why is
it so Even in the olden days gender inequality was
very common
Sati widows shravana shraddha managala gaur
akshaya tritiya child marriage karva chauthhellip
etcetera etcetera etceteraWhat do these words re-
mind you of Yep Thatrsquos right These are all systems
for women
These are sacrifices and systems that women perform
for their better halves So that their spouses have a
long and safe life But what do these spouses do in
return Discriminate these women Consider them
inferior I think that only about 15 of men give
equal opportunities and rights to women
This number is increasing no doubt but then this is a
slow processMen work approximately 6 ndash 8 hours a
day Women on the other hand work at least 16
hours a day Yet men get salary and women in some
cases donrsquot
To all the men and boys reading this I have a few
questions for youDo you have the guts to perform all
housework with 5 guests in the house Do you have
enough courage to change your sur-
name after marriage Do you have
the guts to leave your ancestral home
where you have lived for at least 23
years Are you ready to be dominated
by women More importantly are you ready to listen
to pungent words from your mother-in-law And of
course do you guys have courage to bear a child for 9
months and 9 days and give birth and nurture the ba-
by
Giving birth is simultaneous to fracturing 20 ndash 21
bones at once Did men know this And yet they con-
sider women weak They think that because wersquore
women we cannot thinkIf we cannot think who is
Marie Curie If we are weak who delivers kids
Women arenrsquot any different They are children of
gods They arenrsquot your personal secretaries they are
your partnersOnly a woman knows how much suffer-
ing women go through And yet women are discrimi-
nated daily
What women want is love and respect They work
hard for it they toil day and night and what they get
ishellipabsolutely nothing
Is this right
Submission to Peer Pressure -Akshat Mishra IX -G
ldquoHey Mohan When did you get this new iPhone-Xrdquo
we asked him in surprise as we knew the financial
condition of his family ldquoMy cousin gifted it to merdquo
quipped Mohan sheepishly All the boys resumed
playing but I knew there was something amissPeer
pressure is becoming increasingly inevitable amongst
teenagers One may argue that it is a part of human
nature It may be pivotal for a human being but its
darker side is certainly the more powerful one
People are easily succumbing to peer pressure without
realising its consequences Just to gain respect in
someonersquos eyes they are even ready to quarrel with
their parents and ward their attention from their nec-
essary activities A recent survey suggested that the
maximum people in a rave are a group of teenagers
The clutches of peer pressure are so strong that people
arenrsquot being able to listen even to their conscience
The youth mostly is just littering around the streets
smoking cigarettes boozing or becoming a victim to
social networks sites like Facebook or Instagram Hu-
man resource is the most valuable resource that we
have and the youth are supposed to replenish this re-
source not just to become egoists The are the future
of the planet but sadly they arenrsquot forging the path for
mankind that they are supposed to
Hopefully there is some resistance against this social
evil in modern days Such people have sworn to stay
adamant and not stray from the rightful path These
days of hope do believe in working for the greater
good and are spreading awareness and showing the
society that peer pressure is deleterious sort individual
growth and well being

ldquoFreedom of Press in Democracyrdquo
- Poorvi Sanu IX-G
A free press and a free judiciary are two very important
cornerstones of a democracy Especially in the modern
era of widely accessible news and innumerable infor-
mation at our fingertips freedom of press is highly valued
liberty that citizens should be aware of and know the rea-
son why it is given to us as Indians Freedom means those
people who state the liberty or right and privileged to
speak according to their will
Freedom is that opportunity which we should never avoid
and in all bad situations it gives us all right to handle the
problems in our own innovative and thoughtful way Press
and media are the vital way to express and speech some
views and opinions in a democratic country It is the me-
dium of expressing an opinion of the people It justifies
the individual right to speech and expression a coveted
right enshrined in the Indian constitution and the law of
other countries on the globe
The importance of freedom of press lies in the fact that
for most citizens the prospect of personal familiarity with
newsworthy events is unrealistic In seeking out news the
media therefore acts for the public in large it is the means
by which people receive free flow of information and ide-
as which is essential to intelligence self-governance that
is in turn democracy For a proper functioning of democ-
racy it is essential that
citizens are informed
about news from vari-
ous parts of the coun-
try and even abroad because only then can they form ra-
tional opinions A citizen surely cannot be expected per-
sonally to gather news to enable him or her to form such
opinions Hence the media plays an important role in a
democracy and serves as an agency of the people to gath-
er news for them
It is for this reason that freedom of press has been empha-
sised in all democratic countries while it was not permit-
ted in feudal or totalitarian regimes
In India the media have a great responsibility also to see
that the news they present is accurate and serve the inter-
est of the people If the media convey false news that may
harm the reputation of a person or a section of society it
may do a great damage since reputation is a valuable asset
for a person
Even if the media subsequently correct a statement the
damage done may be irreparable Hence the media should
take care to carefully investigate any news item before
carefully reporting it
I know of a case were the photograph of a High Court
judge who was known to be upright was shown on a TV
New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 22
channel along with that of a known criminal The alle-
gation against the judge was that he had acquired the
land not in any discretionary quota but in the open
market at the market priceAlso sometimes the media
present twisted or distorted news that may contain an
element of truth but also an element of untruth This
too should be avoided because a half-truth can be
more dangerous than a total lie The media should
avoid giving any slant to news and avoid sensational-
ism and yellow journalism Only then will they gain
the respect of the people and fulfil their true role in a
democracySome newspapers espouse the cause of
only one community
ldquoThey do not judge problems on their merits They
view problems from a communal angle Such newspa-
pers do disservice to the nation On the other hand
some responsible newspapers exercise great restraint
while reporting news about riots between two commu-
nities They never give the identity of the community
which started the riot If there are any casualties they
do not give a community-wise break up lest this
should trigger off a bigger riot
In India most of the newspapers are controlled by
business magnates Such newspapers therefore pro-
mote the interest of the capitalists by given tainted
news They pay no heed even to the genuine prob-
lems of the worker^ farmers artisans and other
weaker sections of the people
The press is the defender and the protector of the
rights and liberties of the people But it can per-
form this role only if it enjoys freedom in publish-
ing news views and reporting It can function ef-
fectively only in an open society where decisions are
made in a democratic manner The press should not be
scared of influential people The press should consider
it their duty to protect the right of the workers and oth-
er downtrodden sections of the people
While the press should enjoy freedom to perform its
role effectively it should not treat such freedom as a
licence to defame anybody It should not publish any
views or support any movement which violates our
Constitution or is against the territorial integrity and
unity of the country
To the conclusion As the worldrsquos largest democracy
India has a duty to ensure that the press has the duty to
disseminate information and express opinions without
excessive censorship Unfortunately in recent years
the right has been increasingly curbed This oppres-
sion of press is an alarming trend as it does not allow
for proper checks and balances on the government and
its activities The people of our country need to re-
member that in order to have a strong democracy they
need a strong and free press

Our Future Earth
- Hiya Purswani VIII B
We all know the present condition of our environment
around us Inspite of advanced and modern technolo-
gy we humans are still not able to find a solution
Early humans neither they had much technology nor
they had enough intelligence but still in the early ages
the environment was clean making it the reason for
the increasing life span of humans Its a shocking
news to know that the amount of plastic bottles pro-
duced now may lead to increase in plastic pollution
and cause several death
Its a great opportunity to be as a human in this beauti-
ful earth and so itrsquos our responsibility to make it
clean In monsoon people cut down trees to prevent
accidents to occur but do we plant trees in summer to
prevent more global warming We can prevent bad
things to happen but not cannot take that much efforts
for good things to spread Have you ever wondered
while seeing a tap open how many taps are left open
at the same time in the whole world It might sound
unbelievable there can be a World War III on water
land and fresh air The way we are thinking about the
wastage of water may lead us to a massive pain I trsquos
truly said by Warren Buffet sometimes to buy things
we need we have to sell things we do not need This
happens in the case of lacking of intelligence We say
every scholar is a true genius but in my opinion a per-
son is genius if he has the ability to save and change
things in his own way We all have the ability to save
this earth but our thoughts our ego and our greedi-
ness is stopping us to think in a better way rdquoEveryone
has a good and a bad side in his life What matters is
the part we choose to act upon rdquoThis is an excellent
thought said by Sirius Black in the movie Harry Pot-
ter Itrsquos time to bring a change
We always have time to do good things all we need is
hope Spreading awareness is the best idea to bring a
change If everyone stops thinking about their eco-
nomical needs and start contributing towards the envi-
ronment by planting more trees certainly there will be
a beneficial change in this world Neither do we think
about the future nor care about the present Why not
be an optimist and think in a positive way of life Our
studies our needs our knowledge will not help us in
any way if we donrsquot change Its not that easy to plant a
tree and care for it a whole year but if we only plant it
with all our love nature is certainly going to care for
it Lastly I would like to end with a quote Come
forth in the light of things nature will be your teach-
er
Endeavor
- Heet Shripal Kankariya VII-G
It is hard to recall the past
but good thoughts are forever
Remember the step you took
May it be stupid or clever
Though the time runs out
your hope should never
Dont lose ittry and endeavor
Do your best even if the conse-
quences make your work the worst
Try and try and make your work better
It is hard to recall the past
but good thoughts are forever
Remember the step you took maybe stupid or clever

The Aloof Humans - A curse to mother
earth - Vaijayanthimala Navneet VIII-J
With all the night strength and gust
Preserving nature is must
Mother Nature has been so lucrative
Letrsquos do something to save her
Something new and creativersquo
Let us get pollution under control
Before mother Earth weeps and implores
Let clean air sweep
Both high and deep
Let the tiny piece of land
Be clean tidy and neat
Let uncontaminated water be
So that everything doesnrsquot
end like the sea
Let the tree stand
lsquoCause it is more alluring than the seven colour band
Without being loquacious
Mother nature is indeed precious
The Little girl
- Bhumika Sharma VI-F
I found in a garage
Near the carriage
A tiny little baby girl
She had cute blue eyes
Which were very small in size
And had beautiful hair with a cute little curl
I wonder why she was there
And she came fromhellipwhere
I then asked a person passing on the road
If he knew the merciless who
kept her near the horses and
toads
The person replied ldquoWho cares
O Madamhellip
hellipFor a girl who is denied by her
dad and mum
I felt very sad and cried
But I saved her lest she died
Who will save many such girls
Imagine a world without these pearls
Treat them with respect and love
The Little Guest - Ashwathy Ganesh VI ndashD
It was rainy season
At home came a pigeon
It made its nest and was a pest
But there came another guest
Who shooed away the little pest
First there was nothing but a basket of twigs
And I watched it eating figs
When the thunder came with the rain
I got a bit scared
But it didnrsquot fly away
Because I took care
Soon there were three small
eggs
Which were taken care of by the guest
The bird is easy to guess
Because it doesnrsquot make a mess
With its red tail
It looked a bit frail
Between the plants green full full
Was the nest of the little Bulbul

The Art of Dharma as per Mahabharata
- Abhishek Singh [Teacher SrSecondary]
Dharma means the Duty or RighteousnessDharma is
subtle many times we are forced to take wrong
means for right means(and ends us like Arjuna in hell)
or reaches wrong ends following right means(like
Yudhishthira in exile)Its like the Ying and Yang
Duryodhanarsquos envy for the Pandvarsquos Indraprastha and
Yudhishthirarsquos greed or addiction to a game of dice
and win more territory was the main cause of war
The envy can result in healthy competitiveness raising
oneself up by making the envious work harder for
rivalrsquos possessions or eternal sickness to pull the rival
downThe envy and greed are both presents even in
the
modern day world the failure
of communism was caused by
envy among citizens while the
capitalist system is stranded by greed The aim of so-
ciety should not be to suppress these feelings among
its citizens but to channelize them productively Envy
is the vice of socialism Greed is the evil of capital-
ism
Dharma is not justice Its difference between Retribu-
tive Justice and forgiveness While a nation with
stronger legal laws can prefer justice over peace the
newly created or war-torn nations with weaker legal
laws should prefer to restore peace and harmony in
society rather than emphasizing justice
Beware You are in for a scare
- Ayush Lonakadi IX-C
I had returned home late but after reaching home I had
wished I had not reached home that day There was no
electricity which just made it creepier When I
reached my room my exhaustion made me forget that
I was famished I lay on the bed scrolling down pic-
tures I had recently clicked I relived happy moments
but someone out there wasnrsquot happy to see me happy
and I noticed a photograph in my phone which be-
mused me ndash not mentioning how frightened I had be-
come
The picture waswashow can I explain The back-
ground was of my house In the photoI was
sleeping Butbut how could that have been possi-
ble I lived alone there was no one to click my photo
while I was sleeping I was petrified with my eyes
wide open and my whole body was horror-struck
Then all the unwanted noises came into focus ndash the
noises from outside noises of something creaking and
the wind forcefully blowing through the thin slit of the
window eerily
I was panic-stricken I
quickly switched my
phone off and kept it on
the table beside and did
not bother about changing my clothes and covered my
face with a blanket and hugged it tightly I could not
even think of sleeping Every second the clock ticked
I hugged the blanket harder My face and chest were
drenched in sweat I felt some supernatural move-
ments around me something trying to reach out to
me
By then I was praying to God to take me away from
that place I was ready to die Then something hap-
pened and I became frantic from tip to toe lsquoIt is Tues-
day todayrsquo The virtual assistant of my phone said but
I clearly remembered that I had switched off my
phone Who asked the question It was this trauma
that I couldnrsquot bear and today I am here telling you
this story after turning into a roaming soul Look to
your right I am right beside you

Travelling Aaryan Aggarwal IX - B
Travelling is an experience It doesnrsquot matter where
you travel Every place is great in its own ways You
could go to a culturally rich yet underdeveloped place
or you could go to an advanced metropolitan place
You could travel slow paced or you could be adven-
turous and go off the beaten path You could go to the
beach you could go to a museum It wonrsquot matter as
wherever you go you will always get a new and
different experience The experiences will open your
mind to a whole new world and culture which will
change your understanding and preconceived notions
about that place You will also get an opportunity to
detoxify yourself from social media Thus I believe
that travelling is more than just a hobby and can
change your entire thought process and state of
mind
Wallflower
- Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
She lived under a rock
More by force than by will
She lived there so long
She had nothing to fight with
All these people pushing her down
Her feeble frame could fight no long
She vowed to never stop the struggle
Until she had on her temples the crown
Declaring to the world her change
after years bygone
From being the young shy girl they saw
But all this struggle slowly had her crumbling
As she withered her dreams fading
Cause promises are sometimes left undone
When fate decides to yield a gun
And the world never saw the light
Of a wallflower wishing to shine so bright
Being Myself -Nidhi Mishra VIII-G
I did never lie to myself
Never strived to be someone else
And so I never shy
To look myself straight in the eye
I did never hide myself
And lavish a priceless gift
Having lsquolifersquo as its spell
Being myself Irsquoll uplift
Life is too short
Donrsquot be someone else
A onetime offer we have got
Even more precious than a thousand jewels

Women Empowerment - Devangi Dongre VII-B
The abilities of women in making decisions educa-
tion and profession have been largely suppressed
since ages considering them inferior to men The sit-
uation is worst in underdeveloped and developing na-
tions where women in a family are not allowed to
take financial decisions or decide on matters regard-
ing their own educationWith such state of affairs it
would be a fallacy to dream about the goals of sus-
tainable development and gender equality There is an
instant need to take measures to lift the social
personal and professional
status of women bringing
them shoulder to shoulder
with men These particular
measures constitute a pro-
cess which is known as ldquoWomen Empowermentrdquo
Providing better education and employment opportu-
nities to women ensuring their better health provid-
ing justice and ensuring professional equivalence are
the few methods of women empowerment

He looked from afar at his towering creation A re-
mote island in the Pacific Ocean seemed like a great
refuge after what had been happening on the Earth
He chose secrecy as his mission had raised many eye-
brows The plan was simple lsquoEscape and start overrsquo
Right now Moon seemed to be the most viable option
in terms of survival The research had been done
Moon was habitable So close to our abode our cos-
mic neighbor the Moon must exist for a reason It-
will not just be a secondary habitat but also be a step-
ping stone for further progress
His meticulously crafted plan was now just minutes
away from execution A team of four explorers would
first leave Earth and explore the Moon to test his hy-
pothesis Once a temporary col-
ony using genetically engi-
neered pods containing human
embryos is set up they would
further analyze the surroundings and find ways to
make it more habitable The lesser gravitational pull
which allowed for a comparatively lower escape ve-
locity made it easier to transport resources from the
Earth or the ISS Sure it would be difficult at first
Earth is unmatched but he knew it was for the greater
good of mankind It would mean more opportunities
and help us understand our place in this universe
Right now we have confined ourselves in a box and
this is the only way to leave it and unleash the won-
ders of the universe In front of his eyes it flew never
to come back

To perceive ones way to success
A dose of victory isnrsquot enough

Television Pros and Cons
- Soumya Sheth
What do most of the people do these days to entertain
themselvesEveryone likes to switch ON their televi-
sion sets which is one of the exceptional inventions of
science When our Dads come home tired after office
the first thing they would like to do is switch On the
TV and relax while watching it from his sofa seat
This is because while watching different things that
are broadcasted on TV we forget our worries and re-
grets of the day
However like every good and popular inventions tel-
evision also has its set of some worrying habits that
people get hitched to For example sometimes kids
watch it for extensive time thereby affecting their
studies This is one of the most worrying habit for par-
ents and we should know that ignoring studies is not
good for our future and studying is as much important
for us at this tender age more than anything elseItrsquos
true that television can bring us the knowledge from
across the world We can see different parts of the
world virtually sitting at the same place But we
should know how
we can use this
incredible inven-
tion of science in
the right and bene-
ficial way for us Now-a-days Smart TVs have be-
come even more popular We can even use internet on
those TVs Use Google to search for answers we donrsquot
know use YouTube to understand how things are
made or get our doubts cleared and much much more
To summarize it I would like to urge all my fellow
students to use this precious invention of science in a
way that will benefit you to gain constructive
knowledge and avoid destructive knowledge We
should know that television is not the world but only a
small component of this world Please know that there
are other things in life which we should enjoy too
along with giving utmost importance to our studies

The night before the final examination
-Marisha Nath VIII- C
The night before the final examination appears to all
examinees as the night before the Battle of Waterloo
might have appeared to Napoleon or the Duke of Wel-
lington Our system of education being what it is we
examinees are bound to be anxious about the nature of
the nature of the questions we will have to answer
next day Even an earnest student who has done all
that needs be done by way of nervousness uncertainty
and suspense on the night before the examination The
morning of the examination finds them prostate with
nervous disorder
But this is one side the picture There are students
who may be described as soldiers of fortune They are
daredevil youngsters who do not take their examina-
tions seriously But their lack of preparation is more
than made up for by the short cuts or bazar notes they
have provided themselves with Even on the night
before the examina-
tion they would be
going about their
daily rounds They
may be found in the parks cafes and restaurants talk-
ing about tips ndashtalking glibly and confidently about
what questions are sure to come The morning of the
examination finds them as cheerful as they were on
the night before
What is needed most is self-confidence and a cool
head True we do not remember all that we have read
when we go to the Examination Hall This does not
mean that we have forgotten them Many things re-
main in the sub ndashconscious region They jump into
consciousness when we face the questions and seri-
ously think of the answers Often such answers score
more marks than prepared ones

Colourful wrapper shiny and bright
Which one to choose which would be right
Houses made of chocolates and doors made of bars
And out stood there a chocolate car
Soon after it was 6 oclock
And could hear the doorrsquos knock
I woke up in a hurry
Just to realise that it was a dream

The ant and the elephant
- SOUMEN RAO IV-E
Once upon a time in a forest there lived an ant and an
elephant The elephant was the biggest among all the
elephants So he was very proud of himself and used
to criticize everyone and the ant which was the tiniest
among them was very happy and cheerful It used to
help everyone I its own way
All the animals in the forest used to complain about
the egoistic elephant So one day when the ant saw the
elephant walking towards it it immediately thought of
a plan As soon as the elephant came near the ant
said ldquoHello My friendrdquo but the elephant replied rude-
ly saying ldquoYou tiny
ant Get off my way
otherwise yoursquoll get
crushed to deathrdquo
Hearing this ant
challenged the elephant sayingrdquo My big friend I can
make you cryrdquo The ant quickly climbed onto the trunk
of the elephant and ran towards its earit went inside
the ear and started biting the elephants ear The ele-
phant tried to flap its ears but in vain After a few
minutes tears started rolling down its eyes It cried
ldquoPlease come out of my ear I canrsquot bear the painrdquo As
soon as the ant came out the elephant apologized for
its mistake and didnrsquot tease any animals from that day
Grandparents

when we are shouted
With generosity and be-
nevolence they are bounded
Be sure to always meet your grandparents once in a
while and enhance yourself by their presence

With such state of affairs it would be a fallacy to dream about the goals of sustainable development and gen-
der equality There is an instant need to take measures to lift the social personal and professional status of
women bringing them shoulder to shoulder with men These particular measures constitute a process which
is known as ldquoWomen Empowermentrdquo Providing better education and employment opportunities to women
ensuring their better health providing justice and ensuring professional equivalence are the few methods of
women empowerment
Water Conservation
- Paarth Bhagat VII-J
Water is life If there was no water there would be no
life Hence water is the precious gift of God to mother
Earth We cannot imagine our lives without water
We human beings are made up of water it is the only
transportation medium that carries the food molecules
and oxygen to the cells of every body parts to help the
blood It signifies that water is the most essential in-
gredient to the functioning of life of every organism
So you see living this wonderful life is impossible
without water
Water is the force behind all the industry agriculture
manufacturing and trade and commerce All forms of
energy generation is done using water Be it hydroe-
lectrically projects or thermal power plant or nuclear
power plant water is
the key ingredient in
all of them There
would be no power
without water No
water no life
So it is our responsibility to conserve this life nectar
It is possible only through by changing our outlook
towards this wonderful natural resource We must en-
sure there is no pollution of water bodies by dumping
any waste such as sewage effluents and other toxic
substances We must also ensure there is no emission
of green-house gases into the atmosphere The people
and the government must ensure installation of efflu-
ents and smoke treatment plants at industrial garbage
and sewage units

The kind Fairies -Aditys Patil VIII-E
This story starts with two beautiful babies in a king-
dom called fairyland The babies were very pretty
Their names were Ovi and Riddhi They were growing
pretty well As they grew they became more and
more pretty Over and over they were also fairies and
within 5 years they became young girls Their mother
told them to go to school The girls askedwhere are
the schools There are no schools here Mother said
dont worry you will go to the planet Earth On the
planet Earth there is a very good school named New
Horizon Public School and the short form is nhps We
said ok On the first day of our school we were very
afraid but after a few days we
became more smart than the
others We were getting a lot of
prizes which we shared with
eveyone in the school This
made us and others happy One day We became the
princess of fairyland Our wings were like a rainbow
We were twins and had very long hairs Now I end
my story with a beautiful quote
ALWAYS HELP EACH OTHER LIKE THE
FARIES BECAUSE HELPING PEOPLE IS THE
PATH TO GOD
The Day Irsquoll Never Forget - Saranya Sarangi VII -
It was a day of love and affection
There was no visible sign of caution
But something unfortunate was going to happen
Nobody knew where and when
There was a blast at half past three
In a beauty land called Paradise On Earth
A complete silence and pity hadnrsquot the thee
Perished laid the martyrs
Whom our motherland gave birth
I still remember that scaring sight
The scattered limbs I couldnrsquot see
My heart got filled with grief and fright
No Indian could glee
Terribly writhing the soldiers were seen
Some families languished and some
were crying
So loyal to their country they had been
None of their families were mollifying
Whatever homage to our martyrs we pay
Tiny before their they lay
Salute to their tribute to motherland
To protect us they always walked hand in hand
Little Birdie - Marisha Nath VIII-C
I am a little birdie in the sky
With two wings to fly
I never disturb you
I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom
O human Then why do you steal my FREEDOM
Binding me alone in the cage makes me sad
Donrsquot you know caging a bird is bad
Looking at the sky
I wish I could fly
I never disturb you
I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom
O human Then why do you steal my
FREEDOM

Summers in India - Saranya Sarangi VIII
A hot season beginning from April till May is what we
call summer And thatrsquos the basic rule in India But
thatrsquos not something through which we can define
summers in our country India The sun shining high
above the head increasing the heat and this scorching
heat is something very unique about summers in India
Those ice-lolly stalls roaming down the streets tin-
kling their tiny bells is something special one will nev-
er find in any other country Many people love this
season
Especially the children as they get to eat ice-creams
Many people even donrsquot As they feel that this season
can only make a person dehydrated exhausted and irri-
tated Summer as we think as an unfruitful season is
contrast in reality Schools conduct summer camps
during vacation where stu-
dents can join different aca-
demic and co-curricular
courses to improve them-
selves Many children even spend time with their fami-
lies
Often families plan trips to different places as they get
a very long vacation during this season But now-a-
days due to increasing heat these pleasant summers
are becoming unbearable Every just sweat and sweat
We get a lethargic feeling not ready to do any work
Due to this heat we continually keep the ACs on which
consume a lot of electricity creating trouble for our
mother Earth and us Gradually that charm of the
unique kind of summers will be lost if precautions are
not taken We must really hope and work hard to bring
back our lovely lsquoSummers in Indiarsquo
Exams are good or bad
- Nupoor Teli VIIIndashI
In my humble opinionexams are apressure on the stu-
dents They are forced to study and score good
markswhich can lead to frustration An environmentof
competitivenessof standing first is created for which
students keep on studying day and night without any
recreation It is good to studybut not just for the sake
of gaining marks
Why do we study What is the main intention behind
education Seeking intersresting and fascinating
knowledge as well as facts about the world But now-a
-daysthe main reason for studying is gaining marks If
there are no marksno career andno success This is the
mindset of 70 people of the worldespecially parents
They pressurize their children so much that they get
depressed or sometimes attempt suicide as well
Every two months an exam is conducted Moreo-
verthere are projectssubject-enrichment activi-
tieschapter test sfter every topicnotebookfile submis
sion etcAnd as acherry on top
of the cakewe have the semes-
ter exams of eighty marks as
well What all will the students
do And even if any extra-
curricular activities are being learntthen more extra
studies Just studystudy and study
Why so much of tension on the children Under this
tension only they start cheating As time passes cheat-
ing becomes a habit of their life
I fell that exams should be conducted once a term in
order to evaluate whether the students are clear with
the concepts or notThey shouldnt be pressurized for
their marksbut should be made understand their mis-
takes Let them choose their own career options on
their own Help them knowwhat they like to study and
what they want to do in their life So dont pressurize
students for what they dont likeand encourage them in
what they do After allthey are only the Rising stars of
the country

Life is magical - Piyush Sahoo VII-H
A new day or a new night
Everything in life seems bright
A new morning or a new evening
Life is full of happening
A life is just like a kite
It may disappear in a sight
Life moves from baby to old
Make your life challenging and bold
Enjoy life the fullest
Never accept less than best
Unlikely life comes to an end
But remember never to bend
Happy sadness victory and loss
Accept it the way it comes
Life can be at times tragical
But make it the most beautiful
Life is magicalhellip
Life is so magicalhellip
Humility -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
Humility is having a heart to treat others with respect
and love Considering people worthy of your love
time and efforts regardless of who they are or what
they have done A person is truly humble when they
are willing to work hard for others expecting nothing
in return
Humility has the power to change a personrsquos perspec-
tive towards life It can make a difference in the way a
person is looked upon by others Doing an act of hum-
bleness can make a personrsquos day Humility is about
not having an ego or considering things below your
dignity or considering yourself greater than others
People often confuse humility with self-respect They
canrsquot make out the difference between being useful to
others and being used by others
It takes courage to be humble
because in the era in which we
live humility is looked upon as
weakness People assume yoursquore not strong enough to
stand up for yourself They think you surrender in-
stead of protesting They will despise and scorn you
but they donrsquot know that you take pleasure in what
you do because they havenrsquot experienced that kind of
joy
So if you do have humility donrsquot draw back from it
because of what others think Whatever you are doing
is for the good of others and you have no need to be
ashamed of that Humbleness will spread from person
to person Who knows maybe your one act of humili-
ty will spread on to help a person in need So be brave
be humble
Mom -Tanvi Sawant VII-C
Oh mom I came to this beautiful world just because
of youhellip
Mom what would I do without you
Oh mom there are thorns on the way
But you manage to get me awayhellip
Oh mom I canrsquot say how much yoursquore to me
Mom just promise me that yoursquoll and
always be with mehellip
Oh mom this world is incomplete
without you
Just like the sky without itrsquos bright color bluehellip
Oh mom yoursquore the candle that showed the way in the
dark
My dear mom you made my life spark

OUR FUTURE EARTH - Hiya Purswani VIII-B
We all know the present condition of our environment
around us Inspite of advanced and modern technolo-
gy we humans are still not able to find a solution
Early humans neither they had much technology nor
they had enough intelligence but still in the early ages
the environment was clean making it the reason for
the increasing life span of humans Its a shocking
news to know that the amount of plastic bottles pro-
duced now may lead to increase in plastic pollution
and cause several death Its a great opportunity to be
as a human in this beautiful earth and so its our re-
sponsibility to make it clean In monsoon people cut
down trees to prevent accidents to occur but do we
plant trees in summer to prevent more global warm-
ing We can prevent bad things to happen but not can-
not take that much effort for good things to spread
Have you ever wondered while seeing a tap open how
many taps are left open at the same time in the whole
world It might sound unbelievable there can be a
World War III on water land and fresh air The way
we are thinking about the wastage of water may lead
us to a massive pain Itrsquos truly said by Warren Buffet
sometimes to buy things we need we have to sell
things we do not need This happens in the case of
lacking of intelligence We say every scholar is a true
genius but in my
opinion a person is
genius if he has the
ability to save and
change things in his
own way We all have the ability to save this earth
but our thoughts our ego and our greediness is stop-
ping us to think in a better way Everyone has a good
and a bad side in his life What matters is the part we
choose to act upon This is an excellent thought said
by Sirius Black in the movie Harry Potter Itrsquos time to
bring a change We always have time to do good
things all we need is hope Spreading awareness is the
best idea to bring a change If everyone stops thinking
about their economical needs and start contributing
towards the environment by planting more trees cer-
tainly there will be a beneficial change in this world
Neither do we think about the future nor care about
the present Why not be an optimist and think in a
positive way of life Our studies our needs our
knowledge will not help us in any way if we donʼt
change Its not that easy to plant a tree and care for it a
whole year if we only plant it with all our love nature
is certainly going to care for it Lastly I would like to
end with a quoterdquo Come forth in the light of things
nature will be your teacher
The Small Hours Pranjal Anil Chavan V-C
No more my little song Come back
And now of nights I lay my head on down
to watch the black
And wait the unfailing gray
Oh Sad are winter nights and slow
And sad is a song thatrsquos dumb
And sad it is to lie I know
Another dawn will come

Floods and Destruction
- Nirvi Soni IV-H
India faces occurrence of floods each year in some
parts of Assam during the rainy season Water of river
Brahmaputra rises and enters into many villages
causing great destruction Floods are unavoidable but
we need to take precautions in the following ways by
reducing mining activities building dams growing
more trees etc During floods the weather becomes
wet and gloomy Trees and plants get uprooted This
way floods cause great de-
struction to both life and
property It also becomes dif-
ficult to travel from place to
place Many people are left
homeless The rain water should be harvested and
stored in large storage tanks The harvested rainwater
can be used for washing clothes and cleaning By us-
ing rain water in our daily life we can preserve water
resources
Good Morning Everyone -Vyomi ThakkarVI - H

Wersquoll surely find the crown
Up on the chilled mountain
We saw a beautiful fountain
Surrounded by a beautiful castle
Decorated with the colourful tassel
Just be quiet and keen
Soon you will be the queen
Think before you speak
-Shravya Atreya IX-D
Think before you speak
There are hearts you must please
Think before you speak
You canrsquot undo the harm done after you squeak
Think before you speak
You might have done greater harm than you might
think
Think before you speak
There are still places left for you
to seek
Think before you speak
There is a long way to go before
you sleep
Think before you speak
There are hearts you must
please

GLOBAL WARMING - Adhyant Singh VII-F
Global warming refers to the steady rise in the Earthrsquos mean temperature The effect of global
warming had come into sight when polar ice caps started melting this phenomena is called ICE ndash
ALBEDO the ice caps melt faster due to the rise in the temperature This sudden rise in the temperature near
the poles began in 1999 The polar ice caps in Antarctica melt at the rate of 400000000000 tons per year ac-
cording to some scientists it would approximately take 5000 years to melt the total ice on earth In 2013 Inter-
governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) stated that the main cause of Global warming is human inter-
vention like emission of Green house gases like Carbon-Di-Oxide nitrous oxide and methane
These gases trap the heat which is reflected by the Earthrsquos surface thus increasing the temperature and also
destroying the ozone layer which prevents the ultraviolet rays of the sun from reaching the earthrsquos surface Al-
so burning fossil fuel contributes to the problem Effects of global warming have also led to the increase in the
sea level and extreme weather like heat waves and change in the regional pattern of precipitation and the ex-
pansion of desserts A concentrated and focused effort by the entire humanity can curb down the impact of
Global warming and also prevent it Planting more trees to control the amount of carbon-di-oxide eliminating
the use of chlorofluorocarbon or (CFCrsquoS) are a few steps All the countries have signed up with the United Na-
tions Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to prevent the doomsday of Earth So to prevent
earthrsquos doomsday we all must work together
Itrsquos not too late there is still timehellipBefore the earth ends and we whinehellipSo keep on marching and planting
greens To end Global Warming and Make our planet greenhellip

The Night - Matangi Rajesh VII-D
Its the night
The moon is white
When we switch off the light
What a beautiful sight
After this comes the sun bright
There is no more artificial light
This is the time to start your diet
To go for a run wearing tights
Then comes the evening when
you have snacks light
And fly a big colorful kite
or include your sibling in a pillow fight
Again comes the night
A moon which is white
We switch off the light
A beautiful sight

Hyperloop -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
Human inventions have baffled the world They are
innumerable ranging from revolutionizing
smartphones to not-so-breathtaking ice cream cones
but they play a role in our life just the same The
things which are commonplace to us now were unbe-
knownst to people once upon a time For the people of
the 19th century the car was a thing of the future until
in 1885 Karl Benz ran his first car on the road Then
for centuries people took the prospect of of flying like
the birds as only a wild possibility which was made
possible in 1903 when the Wright Brothers flew the
first plane
What is the thing of the future for us Well we are the
future modifying and bettering the things that have
been made and crating stuff that we didnt even dare
to imagine about The Hyperloop fulfills both aspects
of the definition a very advanced model of our faith-
ful train and yet a brand new idea to scale greater
heights The Hyperloop is an ideal mode of efficient
transport Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane
with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing
speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt have to
ace the two types of friction that every other vehicle
has to face Air resistance and ground friction The
pods of the Hyperloop are propelled through a depres-
surized tub Since it is almost vacuum very little air
resistance can be offered inside the tube Due to this
the energy required to travel is also very less The Hy-
perloops unique technology uses magnetic levitation
to guide and lift the pods of the rail Since the pod is
not in contact with the ground there is no friction act-
ing on itThe first Hyperloop ndash virgin Hyperloop one
is set to run with passengers as early as 2021 and is
created by SpaceX and Tesla
The mastermind behind the Hyperloop is Elon Musk
who first published a 58 page white-paper on the web-
site of his company-Space X It was available to all
and was titled Hyperloop alpha The Hyperloop may
be the pioneer of a whole new era of transportation
traveling a distance which would otherwise take 12
hours in just I hour it has crossed all known bounda-
ries and created higher limits for us to reach and reach
we must for when time is money and money is time
an option that saves both needs to be used
Exams are good or bad -Nupoor Teli VIII
In my humble opinion exams are pressure on the stu-
dents They are forced to study and score good marks
which can lead to frustration An environment of com-
petitiveness of standing first is created for which stu-
dents keep on studying day and night without any rec-
reation It is good to study but not just for the sake of
gaining marks
Why do we study What is the main intention behind
education Seeking interesting and fascinating
knowledge as well as facts about the world But now-a
-days the main reason for studying is gaining marks
If there are no marks no career and no success This
is the mindset of 70 people of the world especially
parents They pressurize their children so much that
they get depressed or sometimes attempt suicide as
wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-
ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities
chapter test after every topic notebookfile submis-
sion etc And as cherry on top of the cake we have the
semester exams of eighty marks as well What all will
the students do And even if any extra-curricular ac-
tivities are being learnt then more extra studies Just
study study and study
Why so much of tension on the children Under this
tension only they start cheating As time passes cheat-
ing becomes a habit of their lifeI fell that exams
should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate
whether the students are clear with the concepts or
not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but
should be made understand their mistakes Let them
choose their own career options on their own Help
them know what they like to study and what they want
to do in their life So dont pressurize students for
what they dont like and encourage them in what they
do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the
country

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B
Life is all about interactions You meet people and
you interact You observe them consciously or sub-
consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us
more than we even realise Some people leave a last-
ing impression on us and entirely change the course of
life for better or for worse Some people influence us
help us go further and make all the difference
I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-
tial people They have taken care of me ever since I
came into this world They are the ones who wish the
best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-
cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel
no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-
come a part of my personality They are the ones who
helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me
to be better
When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are
the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-
takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique
learning experience It has made me realise how eve-
rything they do has a reason They are the ones who
have taught me the importance of the little things in
life They are the ones who have helped me recognize
and follow my passion The very thought of them not
being a part of my life is scary to the least as without
them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am
today and whatever I have achieved is all because of
them and I am very grateful of that
Eyesight
-Aditi Shenoy VIII-F
The tired little girl went to bed
Recollecting the days bygone
Seeing them in her dreams
As the day she was born
Trying to see the world
With her little eyes
But the sun with his brightness
Wouldnt let her catch the sights
The girl still eager
And curious to see the world around her
Again opened her eyes
But her vision was blurred
Still she did not lose hope
Which flowed through her blood
Encouraging and pushing her
To see the world further
Her heart beating fast
Her enthusiasm increasing
She slowly tried to see
With her eyes continuously blinking
Starting to lose hope
She was ready to give up
But curiosity got the upper hand
And pushed her forward
With her hope again rising
and strength in her eyesight
She is finally seeing the world
With wide open eyes

Chandrayan-2 Indiarsquos Moon Mission The dream of
entire India to land on moon and become the 4th Na-
tion in the world to put its flag on the soil of moon
after USSR USA amp China
ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launched
Chandrayan-2 on 22nd July 2019 from Bengaluru
(Satish Dhawan Space Center) under the command of
ISRO chief K Shivan It consists of ORBITER
LANDER amp Lunar Rover PRAGYAN Like Chandra-
yan-1(22nd Oct2008) it was Indiarsquos indigenous moon
mission
It touched the Moon Surface on Saturday early morn-
ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-
ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-
ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of
moon it lost contact with the ground station Because
of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be
monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m
(approx) away from its assigned location near
SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still
orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange
signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it
The ORBITER which will remain active for another
12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-
owed portion of the moon for the first time in history
with the help of its high-resolution camera
The entire Nation irrespective of their field of
knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front
of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of
VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true
Indians who always dream progress and development
of their motherland But our heart never accepts this
as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement
for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-
pose of our mission
But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at
this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring
country quoting this as a big failure on part of India
blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos
money on this
Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will
be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to
this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other
nations on such missions
Further I should say that India is not new in the field
of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-
TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975
It was named after famous scientist of ancient India
ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested
for the first time the HELIOCENTRIC THEORY
(Sun at the center and all planets revolve around the
Sun) of the Solar System much earlier than ready for

COPERNICUS as believed in the western world
Other countries might have moon on their flags but
we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is
great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are
whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-
rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is
only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the
unknown and its continual application for the benefit
of the mankind)rdquo
Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by
various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-
PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-
cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958
onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as
46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was
attempted out of which only 21 was successful
Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-
tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the
overall attempts conducted by other Nations
USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-
NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was
planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January
SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR
successfully on moon
NASA after many attempts was successful to send
first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th
July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk
on moon
Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-
clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-
SION MANGAL for our next moon mission

Savior of all Nikita V IXndash A
Our country is safe
Because of you
You protect our country today
And forever yoursquoll do
The tri-colour will glare
Because you are there
And the feelings of love with
Our country we share
Bravery in your fights
And surgical strikes
Salute to you and all
The almighty soldiers
I pledge my glory and
will always be proud of your story
Self Confidence
Anirudh Shetti VI B
Self Confidence is an attitude that allows you to move
forward and achieve your goals Self confidence
means believing in yourself It is an ability that makes
the human believe in himself For example Tim was a
boy who had a stage fear One day he was selected for
the assembly as a reporter On the day of assembly
Tim was very scared to go on the stage Then he
thought about Self confidence Long ago his mother
said him that if a person has Self confidence he can
cross away all the difficulties in his life So at that
time Tim forgot all the fear and became a self confi-
dent boy
On assembly he reported beautifully and he was the
best reporter in the assembly There are some more
other positives like positive thinking concentration
good manners being kind etc Like Theodore Roose-
velt said ldquoEach time we face fear we gain strength
courage and confidence in the doingrdquo I will conclude
my article with this quote ldquoBelieve in yourself and
you will be unstoppablerdquo
Pencil
-Aadya Agarwal V
Once I was drawing with a pencil
But to draw proper shape I need a stencil
I was using a pencil to write a phrase
I wrote it wrong then the teacher said ldquoErase Eraserdquo
I lost my pencil
But it was with my friend Jencil
With that pencil I drew a triangle and a rectangle
But I was not able to find its angle
In English I had to complete punctuation marks
With help of that pencil James drew many sharks
In science there was a chemical blast
My teacher said ldquopencilrsquos life is very vastrdquo
Once more I lost my pencil
It was stuck in my hair
Once again i lost my pencil
But this time it was lost in a fair

Taras intelligence
- Pritika Manohar kadam VIII ndashD
Once upon a time there lived a couple near the town
They were just married and expected a child After a
year they had twins Both were charming Their
names were Yash and Tara
Tara was expected to do the household work and
Yash was to go to school and do a job Tara was an
very intelligent girl so she used to take her brothers
old books and study on her own
One fine day she asked her brother Why every time
I have to do the household work and not study like
you Her brother asked many people but got a com-
mon answer that girls are not meant to study
So both of them decided to ask their father He gave a
confusing answer that if Tara wants to go to school I
can help her to learn and write but which school will
give her admission I cant fight for one girl
She understood what he meant so Tara had an idea
about that She gathered her friends and told them the
importance of education
Next day she gathered them and
went to her father and said you
wont help one girl (me) so can
you help us to study Her father was impressed by her
intelligenceHe took them to the principal who was
his friend and requested him several times about the
admission of the girls
At last one day he agreed to take the admission of
those girls They started going to school everyday
The problem was all the people were frustrated They
used to throw garbage near their house and also say
abusing words Also stop the ways of the girls for
going to school
They also took the house of Tara and Yash They
used to live in a hut with those girls as well
The people used to throw stones on them The girls
did not lose their hopes and studied hard All those
after many years started working in office
The people were proud afterwards and they started a
girls school They gave back house of Yash and Tara
The ordeal to say a lsquogoodbyersquo
-Nidhi Mishra VIII-G
Together we laughed
Together we wept
Myriad fond impressions We kept
Jointly we danced like daisy
We didnrsquot bother about others
We chuckled like crazy
Concerning about the fussy was tempestuous
Together we were scintillating
We were engrossed in
Our cackles were uplifting
Something was sinister I remained keen
That gloominess was undesirable
Not you but our disunion was near
Our parting was lamentable
The distance between us was my fear
Our disunion was forthcoming
I wished I could quit it
Tears from our eyes were running
With those yet we had to split
Years had flown by
Not the echo
The ordeal to say a

And to lose a loyal oppo

My dream House
-Harshith Nair IX-B
Voila I have shifted to my new house
Away from those lizards and that cunning mouse
That was once a basic and simple house
Now canrsquot get over the whoaas and wowws
Ancient doors and artefacts with a palatial tinge
Enter and you would feel yoursquove got wings
Vintage artefacts and interiors add to the glam
quotient
A gramophone an antique
telephone that take you to an
era thatrsquos ancient
To me and my brotherrsquos surprise therersquos an excit-
ing bunk bed
Now who sleeps on the top therersquos gonna be a

I hate boasting but this onersquos the icing on the

Let me tell you friends this was a dream all

Friendship
-Divya Johnson VIII ndash I
Friendship has no form
sometimes it makes us feel secure and warm
Sometimes leaves us cold and forlorn
and sometimes gives us the power to go on
We mistake it often for something materializing
but itrsquos free and artistic
It is hard to catch
no other virtue has its match
Indomitable Earth - Poorvi Sanu IX ndashG
Our global crisis has created a cure
No A treatment for what is in the store
New seasons simmer shorelines bore
Plastics not fake its sweet
Everlasting a love we adore
Are you sure
Intestinal hurdle artwork framed
Mammals fattened by unnatural floating
Wild material machine Unseen
Where does your waste ream
What can I do
It takes more than
one It takes society
Globally to do what
needs to be done
Our footprint is mas-
sive weighty
Join Mother Earth
On our journey here and abroad
Full of disbelief and open scorn
Itrsquos worth the attempt to help her adorn
To help her heal her sores prevent more welts

Travelling via train -Aditya Patil VIII-E
Travelling is a prominent and a fun-learning activity of
our life It introduces us to new people their culture
and enhances skills that are essential in our lives
Travelling gives a wonderful experience to the travel-
ers especially by train I am being so sight to write the
essay lsquocause guess what ldquoI AM TRAVELLING IN
THE BUMPY TRAINrdquo hearing the quarrels for seats
with the bumps of the train
Train to me is the most favourite mode of transport for
long journeys I am sure even others love travelling via
train inspite of the long journey and time But if its
with families or with bachelor friends therersquos no one
stopping them from being happy During travelling we
also get familiar to stops during the journey where
people get off and enter This introduces us to the cul-
ture of those regions
and thatrsquos what makes our
India famous and legend-
ary We also get to eat
those India-famous snacks
from all over India like lsquoShehgaon kachorirsquo lsquo Kol-
hapuri misalrsquo and I would stop here or else I know
your mouth is watering and you wanna eat this
This is what travelling is It increases our general
knowledge as we get across so many new things Trav-
elling by train is much more affordable than aero-
planes where we just have to sit and enjoy the luxury
Travelling will also introduce you to all kinds of peo-
ple like the innocent ones the fighters the caring ones
who surrender themselves for you and sometimes the
people you know So to enjoy these beautiful moments
of life travel once or twice a year to refresh your-
selves
Control Yourself - Suvan Lokhande IX-A
Controlling yourself is something great that you have
achieved in your whole life Controlling a particular
thing with which you get addicted is a big thing Dur-
ing puberty children get addicted to various bad things
such as food mobile TV or maybe food
ldquoControl Yourself Kidrdquo ldquoDone not more than
thisrdquo ldquoControlrdquo such types of sentences maybe
familiar to you which must be said by your mom dad
teachers and your elders But thatrsquos exactly true what
they say I know that itrsquos difficult to leave a particular
thing with which you get addicted But still if you
leave it certainly this can make an impact in your life
I mean to say that leave only bad things and not the
good things like reading or studying Believe it every-
thing is possible in this whole world If Neil Arm-
strong can go to moon then why cannot you leave your
bad habit Lets take an example a
boy who likes to eat a lot he may
like to eat Chinese Continental
Asian and whatever But you must
take care of your fitness too We can
eat whatever we want but in a limit
If you start practicing such good practices you can
surely be the one who has changed his whole life to a
certain life
And these changes can definitely make you proudAt
last my opinions may have some differences but eve-
ryday we get to learn something from our daily experi-
ences And I truly believe that if we make a decision
and start opting it in our daily life we can surely our-
selves make a change in our whole life At last I con-
vey that you need to control yourself and follow this
motto in your lifehelliphellipControl Yourself amp Be the
Change

The earth is full of surprises
Just look around yourself
It can be anywhere around you
Even somewhere in your bookshelf

It can be a human or thing or even a creature
We humans made strong big buildings

But look deep in nature

Anger Management
- Sfurti Kumbhar IX-A
AngerhellipThe worst of emotions It causes a LOT of
problems Like damaged friendships separated fami-
lies to list a few The list is long But as many people
have tried and failed controlling anger can be impos-
sible at times when the little fuse in your brain blows
off Let us discuss controlling anger today
Basically anger management seems and sounds im-
possible But as it turns out it isnrsquot Itrsquos really simple
To be honest I am a cranky person Even the slightest
bit of annoying thing or the face of an irritating person
blows my fuse off So well yeah Irsquom trying to get it
under control Sort of
Impossible right Managing anger sounds easy You
can distract yourself from the situation Permanently
fix an imaginary meter in your brain which indicates
anger level My meter is always near 50-60 When I
say that Irsquom a cranky person you can see that I mean
it
As I was saying the meter Anytime you feel that the
meter is rising just find some ways to control it Like
the classic ldquodrink cool water to cool down your warm
headrdquo or breathe Listen to your fav music Or ask
yourself this simple question
ldquoIs getting angry at this person or screaming at them
going to improve my day in any way whatsoeverrdquo
If the answer is yes go ahead Scream all that you
want at the person and improve your day But if the
answer is no STOP yourself in time Maybe make
yourself an anger dice Or breathe in Out And may-
be the classic as mentioned above
Frankly these ways have helped me to reduce my
ldquofuse blowing offrdquo times since grade 4 Anger may be
one of the smartest issues but we are smarter
You are a masterpiece - Tisha Gangar VIII-A
There are songs in your eyes
Singing lullabies
The voice is so pretty

There is a magical art
Right inside your heart
Painting pictures which create
memories
That are soothing just like a
breeze
You are a Masterpiece
With an end number of skills
Creativity is your strength
Keep safe till the end

Monsoon -Isha Bhanushali VIII
The most alluring part in monsoon season is the way
people tackle them Every where you scan people are
struggling back to reach their home back safely and it
indeed gives you a sense of achievement when you
reach home without getting drained by the gushing
water the automobiles blow on youWell my case is a
little bit different Every time I attempt not to step in-
side the puddle the next step will certainly be inside
it
It was raining heavily that day and unlike my usual
days it was a special one I got dispersed from my
classes by 600 and not aware about the conditions
outside I stepped outside expecting my van to pick
me up Suddenly there was gloomy all around and
there was silence everywhere (huh Because the light
went off) and to add insult to injury I got a call from
my Sir that the van will be com-
ing 1 hour late
I after a while made up my
mind I will set out and go on
my ownI took my umbrella and set out with my
friend The roads were all muddy and the water
reached up to my ankle The situation got testified as
it started raining heavily We all expected the rain to
stop after a while but it was adamant throwing its
tantrums on us All over the road there were vehicles
parked and there was no way to move
But not giving up we carried forward to reach our des-
tination After a long tiring journey of 1km (which
took us almost 1hr) we reached our home safely I had
a feeling of accomplishing a big feat that day
But the climax is here
I had to listen to my Moms scolding
Yes because I had stepped inside a big puddle

Man Woman and Equality Poorvi Sanu IX-G
Why are women considered inferior to men Why is
it so Even in the olden days gender inequality was
very common
Sati widows shravana shraddha managala gaur
akshaya tritiya child marriage karva chauthhellip
etcetera etcetera etceteraWhat do these words re-
mind you of Yep Thatrsquos right These are all systems
for women
These are sacrifices and systems that women perform
for their better halves So that their spouses have a
long and safe life But what do these spouses do in
return Discriminate these women Consider them
inferior I think that only about 15 of men give
equal opportunities and rights to women
This number is increasing no doubt but then this is a
slow processMen work approximately 6 ndash 8 hours a
day Women on the other hand work at least 16
hours a day Yet men get salary and women in some
cases donrsquot
To all the men and boys reading this I have a few
questions for youDo you have the guts to perform all
housework with 5 guests in the house Do you have
enough courage to change your sur-
name after marriage Do you have
the guts to leave your ancestral home
where you have lived for at least 23
years Are you ready to be dominated
by women More importantly are you ready to listen
to pungent words from your mother-in-law And of
course do you guys have courage to bear a child for 9
months and 9 days and give birth and nurture the ba-
by
Giving birth is simultaneous to fracturing 20 ndash 21
bones at once Did men know this And yet they con-
sider women weak They think that because wersquore
women we cannot thinkIf we cannot think who is
Marie Curie If we are weak who delivers kids
Women arenrsquot any different They are children of
gods They arenrsquot your personal secretaries they are
your partnersOnly a woman knows how much suffer-
ing women go through And yet women are discrimi-
nated daily
What women want is love and respect They work
hard for it they toil day and night and what they get
ishellipabsolutely nothing
Is this right
Submission to Peer Pressure -Akshat Mishra IX -G
ldquoHey Mohan When did you get this new iPhone-Xrdquo
we asked him in surprise as we knew the financial
condition of his family ldquoMy cousin gifted it to merdquo
quipped Mohan sheepishly All the boys resumed
playing but I knew there was something amissPeer
pressure is becoming increasingly inevitable amongst
teenagers One may argue that it is a part of human
nature It may be pivotal for a human being but its
darker side is certainly the more powerful one
People are easily succumbing to peer pressure without
realising its consequences Just to gain respect in
someonersquos eyes they are even ready to quarrel with
their parents and ward their attention from their nec-
essary activities A recent survey suggested that the
maximum people in a rave are a group of teenagers
The clutches of peer pressure are so strong that people
arenrsquot being able to listen even to their conscience
The youth mostly is just littering around the streets
smoking cigarettes boozing or becoming a victim to
social networks sites like Facebook or Instagram Hu-
man resource is the most valuable resource that we
have and the youth are supposed to replenish this re-
source not just to become egoists The are the future
of the planet but sadly they arenrsquot forging the path for
mankind that they are supposed to
Hopefully there is some resistance against this social
evil in modern days Such people have sworn to stay
adamant and not stray from the rightful path These
days of hope do believe in working for the greater
good and are spreading awareness and showing the
society that peer pressure is deleterious sort individual
growth and well being

ldquoFreedom of Press in Democracyrdquo
- Poorvi Sanu IX-G
A free press and a free judiciary are two very important
cornerstones of a democracy Especially in the modern
era of widely accessible news and innumerable infor-
mation at our fingertips freedom of press is highly valued
liberty that citizens should be aware of and know the rea-
son why it is given to us as Indians Freedom means those
people who state the liberty or right and privileged to
speak according to their will
Freedom is that opportunity which we should never avoid
and in all bad situations it gives us all right to handle the
problems in our own innovative and thoughtful way Press
and media are the vital way to express and speech some
views and opinions in a democratic country It is the me-
dium of expressing an opinion of the people It justifies
the individual right to speech and expression a coveted
right enshrined in the Indian constitution and the law of
other countries on the globe
The importance of freedom of press lies in the fact that
for most citizens the prospect of personal familiarity with
newsworthy events is unrealistic In seeking out news the
media therefore acts for the public in large it is the means
by which people receive free flow of information and ide-
as which is essential to intelligence self-governance that
is in turn democracy For a proper functioning of democ-
racy it is essential that
citizens are informed
about news from vari-
ous parts of the coun-
try and even abroad because only then can they form ra-
tional opinions A citizen surely cannot be expected per-
sonally to gather news to enable him or her to form such
opinions Hence the media plays an important role in a
democracy and serves as an agency of the people to gath-
er news for them
It is for this reason that freedom of press has been empha-
sised in all democratic countries while it was not permit-
ted in feudal or totalitarian regimes
In India the media have a great responsibility also to see
that the news they present is accurate and serve the inter-
est of the people If the media convey false news that may
harm the reputation of a person or a section of society it
may do a great damage since reputation is a valuable asset
for a person
Even if the media subsequently correct a statement the
damage done may be irreparable Hence the media should
take care to carefully investigate any news item before
carefully reporting it
I know of a case were the photograph of a High Court
judge who was known to be upright was shown on a TV
New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 22
channel along with that of a known criminal The alle-
gation against the judge was that he had acquired the
land not in any discretionary quota but in the open
market at the market priceAlso sometimes the media
present twisted or distorted news that may contain an
element of truth but also an element of untruth This
too should be avoided because a half-truth can be
more dangerous than a total lie The media should
avoid giving any slant to news and avoid sensational-
ism and yellow journalism Only then will they gain
the respect of the people and fulfil their true role in a
democracySome newspapers espouse the cause of
only one community
ldquoThey do not judge problems on their merits They
view problems from a communal angle Such newspa-
pers do disservice to the nation On the other hand
some responsible newspapers exercise great restraint
while reporting news about riots between two commu-
nities They never give the identity of the community
which started the riot If there are any casualties they
do not give a community-wise break up lest this
should trigger off a bigger riot
In India most of the newspapers are controlled by
business magnates Such newspapers therefore pro-
mote the interest of the capitalists by given tainted
news They pay no heed even to the genuine prob-
lems of the worker^ farmers artisans and other
weaker sections of the people
The press is the defender and the protector of the
rights and liberties of the people But it can per-
form this role only if it enjoys freedom in publish-
ing news views and reporting It can function ef-
fectively only in an open society where decisions are
made in a democratic manner The press should not be
scared of influential people The press should consider
it their duty to protect the right of the workers and oth-
er downtrodden sections of the people
While the press should enjoy freedom to perform its
role effectively it should not treat such freedom as a
licence to defame anybody It should not publish any
views or support any movement which violates our
Constitution or is against the territorial integrity and
unity of the country
To the conclusion As the worldrsquos largest democracy
India has a duty to ensure that the press has the duty to
disseminate information and express opinions without
excessive censorship Unfortunately in recent years
the right has been increasingly curbed This oppres-
sion of press is an alarming trend as it does not allow
for proper checks and balances on the government and
its activities The people of our country need to re-
member that in order to have a strong democracy they
need a strong and free press

Our Future Earth
- Hiya Purswani VIII B
We all know the present condition of our environment
around us Inspite of advanced and modern technolo-
gy we humans are still not able to find a solution
Early humans neither they had much technology nor
they had enough intelligence but still in the early ages
the environment was clean making it the reason for
the increasing life span of humans Its a shocking
news to know that the amount of plastic bottles pro-
duced now may lead to increase in plastic pollution
and cause several death
Its a great opportunity to be as a human in this beauti-
ful earth and so itrsquos our responsibility to make it
clean In monsoon people cut down trees to prevent
accidents to occur but do we plant trees in summer to
prevent more global warming We can prevent bad
things to happen but not cannot take that much efforts
for good things to spread Have you ever wondered
while seeing a tap open how many taps are left open
at the same time in the whole world It might sound
unbelievable there can be a World War III on water
land and fresh air The way we are thinking about the
wastage of water may lead us to a massive pain I trsquos
truly said by Warren Buffet sometimes to buy things
we need we have to sell things we do not need This
happens in the case of lacking of intelligence We say
every scholar is a true genius but in my opinion a per-
son is genius if he has the ability to save and change
things in his own way We all have the ability to save
this earth but our thoughts our ego and our greedi-
ness is stopping us to think in a better way rdquoEveryone
has a good and a bad side in his life What matters is
the part we choose to act upon rdquoThis is an excellent
thought said by Sirius Black in the movie Harry Pot-
ter Itrsquos time to bring a change
We always have time to do good things all we need is
hope Spreading awareness is the best idea to bring a
change If everyone stops thinking about their eco-
nomical needs and start contributing towards the envi-
ronment by planting more trees certainly there will be
a beneficial change in this world Neither do we think
about the future nor care about the present Why not
be an optimist and think in a positive way of life Our
studies our needs our knowledge will not help us in
any way if we donrsquot change Its not that easy to plant a
tree and care for it a whole year but if we only plant it
with all our love nature is certainly going to care for
it Lastly I would like to end with a quote Come
forth in the light of things nature will be your teach-
er
Endeavor
- Heet Shripal Kankariya VII-G
It is hard to recall the past
but good thoughts are forever
Remember the step you took
May it be stupid or clever
Though the time runs out
your hope should never
Dont lose ittry and endeavor
Do your best even if the conse-
quences make your work the worst
Try and try and make your work better
It is hard to recall the past
but good thoughts are forever
Remember the step you took maybe stupid or clever

The Aloof Humans - A curse to mother
earth - Vaijayanthimala Navneet VIII-J
With all the night strength and gust
Preserving nature is must
Mother Nature has been so lucrative
Letrsquos do something to save her
Something new and creativersquo
Let us get pollution under control
Before mother Earth weeps and implores
Let clean air sweep
Both high and deep
Let the tiny piece of land
Be clean tidy and neat
Let uncontaminated water be
So that everything doesnrsquot
end like the sea
Let the tree stand
lsquoCause it is more alluring than the seven colour band
Without being loquacious
Mother nature is indeed precious
The Little girl
- Bhumika Sharma VI-F
I found in a garage
Near the carriage
A tiny little baby girl
She had cute blue eyes
Which were very small in size
And had beautiful hair with a cute little curl
I wonder why she was there
And she came fromhellipwhere
I then asked a person passing on the road
If he knew the merciless who
kept her near the horses and
toads
The person replied ldquoWho cares
O Madamhellip
hellipFor a girl who is denied by her
dad and mum
I felt very sad and cried
But I saved her lest she died
Who will save many such girls
Imagine a world without these pearls
Treat them with respect and love
The Little Guest - Ashwathy Ganesh VI ndashD
It was rainy season
At home came a pigeon
It made its nest and was a pest
But there came another guest
Who shooed away the little pest
First there was nothing but a basket of twigs
And I watched it eating figs
When the thunder came with the rain
I got a bit scared
But it didnrsquot fly away
Because I took care
Soon there were three small
eggs
Which were taken care of by the guest
The bird is easy to guess
Because it doesnrsquot make a mess
With its red tail
It looked a bit frail
Between the plants green full full
Was the nest of the little Bulbul

The Art of Dharma as per Mahabharata
- Abhishek Singh [Teacher SrSecondary]
Dharma means the Duty or RighteousnessDharma is
subtle many times we are forced to take wrong
means for right means(and ends us like Arjuna in hell)
or reaches wrong ends following right means(like
Yudhishthira in exile)Its like the Ying and Yang
Duryodhanarsquos envy for the Pandvarsquos Indraprastha and
Yudhishthirarsquos greed or addiction to a game of dice
and win more territory was the main cause of war
The envy can result in healthy competitiveness raising
oneself up by making the envious work harder for
rivalrsquos possessions or eternal sickness to pull the rival
downThe envy and greed are both presents even in
the
modern day world the failure
of communism was caused by
envy among citizens while the
capitalist system is stranded by greed The aim of so-
ciety should not be to suppress these feelings among
its citizens but to channelize them productively Envy
is the vice of socialism Greed is the evil of capital-
ism
Dharma is not justice Its difference between Retribu-
tive Justice and forgiveness While a nation with
stronger legal laws can prefer justice over peace the
newly created or war-torn nations with weaker legal
laws should prefer to restore peace and harmony in
society rather than emphasizing justice
Beware You are in for a scare
- Ayush Lonakadi IX-C
I had returned home late but after reaching home I had
wished I had not reached home that day There was no
electricity which just made it creepier When I
reached my room my exhaustion made me forget that
I was famished I lay on the bed scrolling down pic-
tures I had recently clicked I relived happy moments
but someone out there wasnrsquot happy to see me happy
and I noticed a photograph in my phone which be-
mused me ndash not mentioning how frightened I had be-
come
The picture waswashow can I explain The back-
ground was of my house In the photoI was
sleeping Butbut how could that have been possi-
ble I lived alone there was no one to click my photo
while I was sleeping I was petrified with my eyes
wide open and my whole body was horror-struck
Then all the unwanted noises came into focus ndash the
noises from outside noises of something creaking and
the wind forcefully blowing through the thin slit of the
window eerily
I was panic-stricken I
quickly switched my
phone off and kept it on
the table beside and did
not bother about changing my clothes and covered my
face with a blanket and hugged it tightly I could not
even think of sleeping Every second the clock ticked
I hugged the blanket harder My face and chest were
drenched in sweat I felt some supernatural move-
ments around me something trying to reach out to
me
By then I was praying to God to take me away from
that place I was ready to die Then something hap-
pened and I became frantic from tip to toe lsquoIt is Tues-
day todayrsquo The virtual assistant of my phone said but
I clearly remembered that I had switched off my
phone Who asked the question It was this trauma
that I couldnrsquot bear and today I am here telling you
this story after turning into a roaming soul Look to
your right I am right beside you

Travelling Aaryan Aggarwal IX - B
Travelling is an experience It doesnrsquot matter where
you travel Every place is great in its own ways You
could go to a culturally rich yet underdeveloped place
or you could go to an advanced metropolitan place
You could travel slow paced or you could be adven-
turous and go off the beaten path You could go to the
beach you could go to a museum It wonrsquot matter as
wherever you go you will always get a new and
different experience The experiences will open your
mind to a whole new world and culture which will
change your understanding and preconceived notions
about that place You will also get an opportunity to
detoxify yourself from social media Thus I believe
that travelling is more than just a hobby and can
change your entire thought process and state of
mind
Wallflower
- Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
She lived under a rock
More by force than by will
She lived there so long
She had nothing to fight with
All these people pushing her down
Her feeble frame could fight no long
She vowed to never stop the struggle
Until she had on her temples the crown
Declaring to the world her change
after years bygone
From being the young shy girl they saw
But all this struggle slowly had her crumbling
As she withered her dreams fading
Cause promises are sometimes left undone
When fate decides to yield a gun
And the world never saw the light
Of a wallflower wishing to shine so bright
Being Myself -Nidhi Mishra VIII-G
I did never lie to myself
Never strived to be someone else
And so I never shy
To look myself straight in the eye
I did never hide myself
And lavish a priceless gift
Having lsquolifersquo as its spell
Being myself Irsquoll uplift
Life is too short
Donrsquot be someone else
A onetime offer we have got
Even more precious than a thousand jewels

Women Empowerment - Devangi Dongre VII-B
The abilities of women in making decisions educa-
tion and profession have been largely suppressed
since ages considering them inferior to men The sit-
uation is worst in underdeveloped and developing na-
tions where women in a family are not allowed to
take financial decisions or decide on matters regard-
ing their own educationWith such state of affairs it
would be a fallacy to dream about the goals of sus-
tainable development and gender equality There is an
instant need to take measures to lift the social
personal and professional
status of women bringing
them shoulder to shoulder
with men These particular
measures constitute a pro-
cess which is known as ldquoWomen Empowermentrdquo
Providing better education and employment opportu-
nities to women ensuring their better health provid-
ing justice and ensuring professional equivalence are
the few methods of women empowerment

- Aaryan Aggarwal IX-B
He looked from afar at his towering creation A re-
mote island in the Pacific Ocean seemed like a great
refuge after what had been happening on the Earth
He chose secrecy as his mission had raised many eye-
brows The plan was simple lsquoEscape and start overrsquo
Right now Moon seemed to be the most viable option
in terms of survival The research had been done
Moon was habitable So close to our abode our cos-
mic neighbor the Moon must exist for a reason It-
will not just be a secondary habitat but also be a step-
ping stone for further progress
His meticulously crafted plan was now just minutes
away from execution A team of four explorers would
first leave Earth and explore the Moon to test his hy-
pothesis Once a temporary col-
ony using genetically engi-
neered pods containing human
embryos is set up they would
further analyze the surroundings and find ways to
make it more habitable The lesser gravitational pull
which allowed for a comparatively lower escape ve-
locity made it easier to transport resources from the
Earth or the ISS Sure it would be difficult at first
Earth is unmatched but he knew it was for the greater
good of mankind It would mean more opportunities
and help us understand our place in this universe
Right now we have confined ourselves in a box and
this is the only way to leave it and unleash the won-
ders of the universe In front of his eyes it flew never
to come back

Make the Choice
-Nidhi Mishra VIII-G
My vision reflects its flaming intention
Irsquom steady upon the decision
About which Irsquoll never disclaim
Accepting the outcome never blame
To impulse refer those achieves
Itrsquos your resolve donrsquot quit
There wasnrsquot any lose that grieves
There was just a lesson in it
I turn down to immure oneself
In the decision of mine
I possess optimism in myself
And so I believe everything
will be fine
Though it may be tough
To perceive ones way to success
A dose of victory isnrsquot enough
Itrsquos always limitless
Television Pros and Cons
- Soumya Sheth
What do most of the people do these days to entertain
themselvesEveryone likes to switch ON their televi-
sion sets which is one of the exceptional inventions of
science When our Dads come home tired after office
the first thing they would like to do is switch On the
TV and relax while watching it from his sofa seat
This is because while watching different things that
are broadcasted on TV we forget our worries and re-
grets of the day
However like every good and popular inventions tel-
evision also has its set of some worrying habits that
people get hitched to For example sometimes kids
watch it for extensive time thereby affecting their
studies This is one of the most worrying habit for par-
ents and we should know that ignoring studies is not
good for our future and studying is as much important
for us at this tender age more than anything elseItrsquos
true that television can bring us the knowledge from
across the world We can see different parts of the
world virtually sitting at the same place But we
should know how
we can use this
incredible inven-
tion of science in
the right and bene-
ficial way for us Now-a-days Smart TVs have be-
come even more popular We can even use internet on
those TVs Use Google to search for answers we donrsquot
know use YouTube to understand how things are
made or get our doubts cleared and much much more
To summarize it I would like to urge all my fellow
students to use this precious invention of science in a
way that will benefit you to gain constructive
knowledge and avoid destructive knowledge We
should know that television is not the world but only a
small component of this world Please know that there
are other things in life which we should enjoy too
along with giving utmost importance to our studies

The night before the final examination
-Marisha Nath VIII- C
The night before the final examination appears to all
examinees as the night before the Battle of Waterloo
might have appeared to Napoleon or the Duke of Wel-
lington Our system of education being what it is we
examinees are bound to be anxious about the nature of
the nature of the questions we will have to answer
next day Even an earnest student who has done all
that needs be done by way of nervousness uncertainty
and suspense on the night before the examination The
morning of the examination finds them prostate with
nervous disorder
But this is one side the picture There are students
who may be described as soldiers of fortune They are
daredevil youngsters who do not take their examina-
tions seriously But their lack of preparation is more
than made up for by the short cuts or bazar notes they
have provided themselves with Even on the night
before the examina-
tion they would be
going about their
daily rounds They
may be found in the parks cafes and restaurants talk-
ing about tips ndashtalking glibly and confidently about
what questions are sure to come The morning of the
examination finds them as cheerful as they were on
the night before
What is needed most is self-confidence and a cool
head True we do not remember all that we have read
when we go to the Examination Hall This does not
mean that we have forgotten them Many things re-
main in the sub ndashconscious region They jump into
consciousness when we face the questions and seri-
ously think of the answers Often such answers score
more marks than prepared ones
Elegance
-Prajna VIII-D
Elegant you be for the universe to learn your versatility
Brighter you shine the orb will know your sustenance
The stars moons and clouds let know your dignity
Apparently it seems your flawless abundance
The ideal triumph mustnrsquot be exaggerated
Till you salve someonersquos hurt
Elegant you be for the universe to learn your versatility
How can you be silent if you donrsquot know your efficiency
One of the values to become successful is simplicity
Through elegance letrsquos spread positivist

Chocoland - Talreja Aastha IV-J
Once I had been to the Chocolate Land
Chocolate all around to the reach of my hand
Toffees candies lollies and bars
In my mouth a crunchy munchy war
White dark nutty and sweet
Just like a dreamy treat
Colourful wrapper shiny and bright
Which one to choose which would be right
Houses made of chocolates and doors made of bars
And out stood there a chocolate car
Soon after it was 6 oclock
And could hear the doorrsquos knock
I woke up in a hurry
Just to realise that it was a dream

The ant and the elephant
- SOUMEN RAO IV-E
Once upon a time in a forest there lived an ant and an
elephant The elephant was the biggest among all the
elephants So he was very proud of himself and used
to criticize everyone and the ant which was the tiniest
among them was very happy and cheerful It used to
help everyone I its own way
All the animals in the forest used to complain about
the egoistic elephant So one day when the ant saw the
elephant walking towards it it immediately thought of
a plan As soon as the elephant came near the ant
said ldquoHello My friendrdquo but the elephant replied rude-
ly saying ldquoYou tiny
ant Get off my way
otherwise yoursquoll get
crushed to deathrdquo
Hearing this ant
challenged the elephant sayingrdquo My big friend I can
make you cryrdquo The ant quickly climbed onto the trunk
of the elephant and ran towards its earit went inside
the ear and started biting the elephants ear The ele-
phant tried to flap its ears but in vain After a few
minutes tears started rolling down its eyes It cried
ldquoPlease come out of my ear I canrsquot bear the painrdquo As
soon as the ant came out the elephant apologized for
its mistake and didnrsquot tease any animals from that day
Grandparents
-Aditya Patil VIII-E
The best place in vacation
A heaven like destination
Their love for us is endless
All their sacrifices are worthless
Great is their surrounding divinity
In front of our ordinary identity
To your grandparents never be rude
Because they are your
coolest dude
They yell at our parents
when we are shouted
With generosity and be-
nevolence they are bounded
Be sure to always meet your grandparents once in a
while and enhance yourself by their presence

Water Conservation
- Paarth Bhagat VII-J
Water is life If there was no water there would be no
life Hence water is the precious gift of God to mother
Earth We cannot imagine our lives without water
We human beings are made up of water it is the only
transportation medium that carries the food molecules
and oxygen to the cells of every body parts to help the
blood It signifies that water is the most essential in-
gredient to the functioning of life of every organism
So you see living this wonderful life is impossible
without water
Water is the force behind all the industry agriculture
manufacturing and trade and commerce All forms of
energy generation is done using water Be it hydroe-
lectrically projects or thermal power plant or nuclear
power plant water is
the key ingredient in
all of them There
would be no power
without water No
water no life
So it is our responsibility to conserve this life nectar
It is possible only through by changing our outlook
towards this wonderful natural resource We must en-
sure there is no pollution of water bodies by dumping
any waste such as sewage effluents and other toxic
substances We must also ensure there is no emission
of green-house gases into the atmosphere The people
and the government must ensure installation of efflu-
ents and smoke treatment plants at industrial garbage
and sewage units

The kind Fairies -Aditys Patil VIII-E
This story starts with two beautiful babies in a king-
dom called fairyland The babies were very pretty
Their names were Ovi and Riddhi They were growing
pretty well As they grew they became more and
more pretty Over and over they were also fairies and
within 5 years they became young girls Their mother
told them to go to school The girls askedwhere are
the schools There are no schools here Mother said
dont worry you will go to the planet Earth On the
planet Earth there is a very good school named New
Horizon Public School and the short form is nhps We
said ok On the first day of our school we were very
afraid but after a few days we
became more smart than the
others We were getting a lot of
prizes which we shared with
eveyone in the school This
made us and others happy One day We became the
princess of fairyland Our wings were like a rainbow
We were twins and had very long hairs Now I end
my story with a beautiful quote
ALWAYS HELP EACH OTHER LIKE THE
FARIES BECAUSE HELPING PEOPLE IS THE
PATH TO GOD
The Day Irsquoll Never Forget - Saranya Sarangi VII -
It was a day of love and affection
There was no visible sign of caution
But something unfortunate was going to happen
Nobody knew where and when
There was a blast at half past three
In a beauty land called Paradise On Earth
A complete silence and pity hadnrsquot the thee
Perished laid the martyrs
Whom our motherland gave birth
I still remember that scaring sight
The scattered limbs I couldnrsquot see
My heart got filled with grief and fright
No Indian could glee
Terribly writhing the soldiers were seen
Some families languished and some
were crying
So loyal to their country they had been
None of their families were mollifying
Whatever homage to our martyrs we pay
Tiny before their they lay
Salute to their tribute to motherland
To protect us they always walked hand in hand
Little Birdie - Marisha Nath VIII-C
I am a little birdie in the sky
With two wings to fly
I never disturb you
I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom
O human Then why do you steal my FREEDOM
Binding me alone in the cage makes me sad
Donrsquot you know caging a bird is bad
Looking at the sky
I wish I could fly
I never disturb you
I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom
O human Then why do you steal my
FREEDOM

Summers in India - Saranya Sarangi VIII
A hot season beginning from April till May is what we
call summer And thatrsquos the basic rule in India But
thatrsquos not something through which we can define
summers in our country India The sun shining high
above the head increasing the heat and this scorching
heat is something very unique about summers in India
Those ice-lolly stalls roaming down the streets tin-
kling their tiny bells is something special one will nev-
er find in any other country Many people love this
season
Especially the children as they get to eat ice-creams
Many people even donrsquot As they feel that this season
can only make a person dehydrated exhausted and irri-
tated Summer as we think as an unfruitful season is
contrast in reality Schools conduct summer camps
during vacation where stu-
dents can join different aca-
demic and co-curricular
courses to improve them-
selves Many children even spend time with their fami-
lies
Often families plan trips to different places as they get
a very long vacation during this season But now-a-
days due to increasing heat these pleasant summers
are becoming unbearable Every just sweat and sweat
We get a lethargic feeling not ready to do any work
Due to this heat we continually keep the ACs on which
consume a lot of electricity creating trouble for our
mother Earth and us Gradually that charm of the
unique kind of summers will be lost if precautions are
not taken We must really hope and work hard to bring
back our lovely lsquoSummers in Indiarsquo
Exams are good or bad
- Nupoor Teli VIIIndashI
In my humble opinionexams are apressure on the stu-
dents They are forced to study and score good
markswhich can lead to frustration An environmentof
competitivenessof standing first is created for which
students keep on studying day and night without any
recreation It is good to studybut not just for the sake
of gaining marks
Why do we study What is the main intention behind
education Seeking intersresting and fascinating
knowledge as well as facts about the world But now-a
-daysthe main reason for studying is gaining marks If
there are no marksno career andno success This is the
mindset of 70 people of the worldespecially parents
They pressurize their children so much that they get
depressed or sometimes attempt suicide as well
Every two months an exam is conducted Moreo-
verthere are projectssubject-enrichment activi-
tieschapter test sfter every topicnotebookfile submis
sion etcAnd as acherry on top
of the cakewe have the semes-
ter exams of eighty marks as
well What all will the students
do And even if any extra-
curricular activities are being learntthen more extra
studies Just studystudy and study
Why so much of tension on the children Under this
tension only they start cheating As time passes cheat-
ing becomes a habit of their life
I fell that exams should be conducted once a term in
order to evaluate whether the students are clear with
the concepts or notThey shouldnt be pressurized for
their marksbut should be made understand their mis-
takes Let them choose their own career options on
their own Help them knowwhat they like to study and
what they want to do in their life So dont pressurize
students for what they dont likeand encourage them in
what they do After allthey are only the Rising stars of
the country

Life is magical - Piyush Sahoo VII-H
A new day or a new night
Everything in life seems bright
A new morning or a new evening
Life is full of happening
A life is just like a kite
It may disappear in a sight
Life moves from baby to old
Make your life challenging and bold
Enjoy life the fullest
Never accept less than best
Unlikely life comes to an end
But remember never to bend
Happy sadness victory and loss
Accept it the way it comes
Life can be at times tragical
But make it the most beautiful
Life is magicalhellip
Life is so magicalhellip
Humility -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
Humility is having a heart to treat others with respect
and love Considering people worthy of your love
time and efforts regardless of who they are or what
they have done A person is truly humble when they
are willing to work hard for others expecting nothing
in return
Humility has the power to change a personrsquos perspec-
tive towards life It can make a difference in the way a
person is looked upon by others Doing an act of hum-
bleness can make a personrsquos day Humility is about
not having an ego or considering things below your
dignity or considering yourself greater than others
People often confuse humility with self-respect They
canrsquot make out the difference between being useful to
others and being used by others
It takes courage to be humble
because in the era in which we
live humility is looked upon as
weakness People assume yoursquore not strong enough to
stand up for yourself They think you surrender in-
stead of protesting They will despise and scorn you
but they donrsquot know that you take pleasure in what
you do because they havenrsquot experienced that kind of
joy
So if you do have humility donrsquot draw back from it
because of what others think Whatever you are doing
is for the good of others and you have no need to be
ashamed of that Humbleness will spread from person
to person Who knows maybe your one act of humili-
ty will spread on to help a person in need So be brave
be humble
Mom -Tanvi Sawant VII-C
Oh mom I came to this beautiful world just because
of youhellip
Mom what would I do without you
Oh mom there are thorns on the way

Oh mom I canrsquot say how much yoursquore to me

always be with mehellip
Oh mom this world is incomplete
without you
Just like the sky without itrsquos bright color bluehellip
Oh mom yoursquore the candle that showed the way in the
dark

And preventing my green dress

you plant a tree
Make a better home for you on me
Recycle things donrsquot throw them awayhellip

OUR FUTURE EARTH - Hiya Purswani VIII-B
We all know the present condition of our environment
around us Inspite of advanced and modern technolo-
gy we humans are still not able to find a solution
Early humans neither they had much technology nor
they had enough intelligence but still in the early ages
the environment was clean making it the reason for
the increasing life span of humans Its a shocking
news to know that the amount of plastic bottles pro-
duced now may lead to increase in plastic pollution
and cause several death Its a great opportunity to be
as a human in this beautiful earth and so its our re-
sponsibility to make it clean In monsoon people cut
down trees to prevent accidents to occur but do we
plant trees in summer to prevent more global warm-
ing We can prevent bad things to happen but not can-
not take that much effort for good things to spread
Have you ever wondered while seeing a tap open how
many taps are left open at the same time in the whole
world It might sound unbelievable there can be a
World War III on water land and fresh air The way
we are thinking about the wastage of water may lead
us to a massive pain Itrsquos truly said by Warren Buffet
sometimes to buy things we need we have to sell
things we do not need This happens in the case of
lacking of intelligence We say every scholar is a true
genius but in my
opinion a person is
genius if he has the
ability to save and
change things in his
own way We all have the ability to save this earth
but our thoughts our ego and our greediness is stop-
ping us to think in a better way Everyone has a good
and a bad side in his life What matters is the part we
choose to act upon This is an excellent thought said
by Sirius Black in the movie Harry Potter Itrsquos time to
bring a change We always have time to do good
things all we need is hope Spreading awareness is the
best idea to bring a change If everyone stops thinking
about their economical needs and start contributing
towards the environment by planting more trees cer-
tainly there will be a beneficial change in this world
Neither do we think about the future nor care about
the present Why not be an optimist and think in a
positive way of life Our studies our needs our
knowledge will not help us in any way if we donʼt
change Its not that easy to plant a tree and care for it a
whole year if we only plant it with all our love nature
is certainly going to care for it Lastly I would like to
end with a quoterdquo Come forth in the light of things
nature will be your teacher
The Small Hours Pranjal Anil Chavan V-C
No more my little song Come back
And now of nights I lay my head on down
to watch the black
And wait the unfailing gray
Oh Sad are winter nights and slow
And sad is a song thatrsquos dumb
And sad it is to lie I know
Another dawn will come

Floods and Destruction
- Nirvi Soni IV-H
India faces occurrence of floods each year in some
parts of Assam during the rainy season Water of river
Brahmaputra rises and enters into many villages
causing great destruction Floods are unavoidable but
we need to take precautions in the following ways by
reducing mining activities building dams growing
more trees etc During floods the weather becomes
wet and gloomy Trees and plants get uprooted This
way floods cause great de-
struction to both life and
property It also becomes dif-
ficult to travel from place to
place Many people are left
homeless The rain water should be harvested and
stored in large storage tanks The harvested rainwater
can be used for washing clothes and cleaning By us-
ing rain water in our daily life we can preserve water
resources
Good Morning Everyone -Vyomi ThakkarVI - H
Come with me wersquoll have some fun
Wersquoll go on a walk
Donrsquot worry will have a great talk
Roaming around the ground
With beautiful birdrsquos sound
We donrsquot know if anything will be found
Wersquoll surely find the crown
Up on the chilled mountain
We saw a beautiful fountain
Surrounded by a beautiful castle
Decorated with the colourful tassel
Just be quiet and keen
Soon you will be the queen
Think before you speak
-Shravya Atreya IX-D
Think before you speak
There are hearts you must please
Think before you speak
You canrsquot undo the harm done after you squeak
Think before you speak
You might have done greater harm than you might
think
Think before you speak
There are still places left for you
to seek
Think before you speak
There is a long way to go before
you sleep
Think before you speak
There are hearts you must
please
Sunrise -Anuradha Singh VII-H
Over the glimmering purple sea
Under the golden sun rise
The Island dreams under the dawn
And the message is carried by the wind that blows

A sparrow sways upon a tree
staring at his own in the
enamelled sea
Everything is fine
With fading stars and rising light

GLOBAL WARMING - Adhyant Singh VII-F
Global warming refers to the steady rise in the Earthrsquos mean temperature The effect of global
warming had come into sight when polar ice caps started melting this phenomena is called ICE ndash
ALBEDO the ice caps melt faster due to the rise in the temperature This sudden rise in the temperature near
the poles began in 1999 The polar ice caps in Antarctica melt at the rate of 400000000000 tons per year ac-
cording to some scientists it would approximately take 5000 years to melt the total ice on earth In 2013 Inter-
governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) stated that the main cause of Global warming is human inter-
vention like emission of Green house gases like Carbon-Di-Oxide nitrous oxide and methane
These gases trap the heat which is reflected by the Earthrsquos surface thus increasing the temperature and also
destroying the ozone layer which prevents the ultraviolet rays of the sun from reaching the earthrsquos surface Al-
so burning fossil fuel contributes to the problem Effects of global warming have also led to the increase in the
sea level and extreme weather like heat waves and change in the regional pattern of precipitation and the ex-
pansion of desserts A concentrated and focused effort by the entire humanity can curb down the impact of
Global warming and also prevent it Planting more trees to control the amount of carbon-di-oxide eliminating
the use of chlorofluorocarbon or (CFCrsquoS) are a few steps All the countries have signed up with the United Na-
tions Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to prevent the doomsday of Earth So to prevent
earthrsquos doomsday we all must work together
Itrsquos not too late there is still timehellipBefore the earth ends and we whinehellipSo keep on marching and planting
greens To end Global Warming and Make our planet greenhellip
What will happen without Instagram
- Kaavya Chaudhary VII-F
Instagram Instagram Instagram
I was hearing it from everyone
I asked who was the inventor
Nobody knew the answer to my question
Mobiles Mobiles Mobiles
I was able to see them everywhere
I asked who was the inventor
Again nobody was aware
I wondered why was it like so
Why is it they donrsquot know
There was one time we were
engrossed in books
Now we care more about our looks
Instagram wonrsquot give you a job
You will have to study and top
Your fellow followers wonrsquot help either
If you donrsquot have a job no one will bother
I am a tree
- Yashawini Pillai
I am a tree
With a dark green crown
And a thick strong trunk
Above the ground
I give you food
I give you fruits
I give you medicine
I give you wood
I need some sunlight
And some fresh air
I need some water
And your loving care

The Night - Matangi Rajesh VII-D
Its the night
The moon is white
When we switch off the light
What a beautiful sight
After this comes the sun bright
There is no more artificial light
This is the time to start your diet
To go for a run wearing tights
Then comes the evening when
you have snacks light
And fly a big colorful kite
or include your sibling in a pillow fight
Again comes the night
A moon which is white
We switch off the light
A beautiful sight

Launch of ISROrsquos Fat Boyrsquo
31 satellites in a single flight
Sending another communication satellite in the space
In 2009 Indians maiden mission to the moon Chandrayaan- 1 brought back the first clinching evidence of the
presence of water on the arched lunar surface In more down to the Earth missions Indian satellites are also
helping locate underground water aquifers for some of the poorest and marginal people of India In a way

Hyperloop -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
Human inventions have baffled the world They are
innumerable ranging from revolutionizing
smartphones to not-so-breathtaking ice cream cones
but they play a role in our life just the same The
things which are commonplace to us now were unbe-
knownst to people once upon a time For the people of
the 19th century the car was a thing of the future until
in 1885 Karl Benz ran his first car on the road Then
for centuries people took the prospect of of flying like
the birds as only a wild possibility which was made
possible in 1903 when the Wright Brothers flew the
first plane
What is the thing of the future for us Well we are the
future modifying and bettering the things that have
been made and crating stuff that we didnt even dare
to imagine about The Hyperloop fulfills both aspects
of the definition a very advanced model of our faith-
ful train and yet a brand new idea to scale greater
heights The Hyperloop is an ideal mode of efficient
transport Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane
with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing
speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt have to
ace the two types of friction that every other vehicle
has to face Air resistance and ground friction The
pods of the Hyperloop are propelled through a depres-
surized tub Since it is almost vacuum very little air
resistance can be offered inside the tube Due to this
the energy required to travel is also very less The Hy-
perloops unique technology uses magnetic levitation
to guide and lift the pods of the rail Since the pod is
not in contact with the ground there is no friction act-
ing on itThe first Hyperloop ndash virgin Hyperloop one
is set to run with passengers as early as 2021 and is
created by SpaceX and Tesla
The mastermind behind the Hyperloop is Elon Musk
who first published a 58 page white-paper on the web-
site of his company-Space X It was available to all
and was titled Hyperloop alpha The Hyperloop may
be the pioneer of a whole new era of transportation
traveling a distance which would otherwise take 12
hours in just I hour it has crossed all known bounda-
ries and created higher limits for us to reach and reach
we must for when time is money and money is time
an option that saves both needs to be used
Exams are good or bad -Nupoor Teli VIII
In my humble opinion exams are pressure on the stu-
dents They are forced to study and score good marks
which can lead to frustration An environment of com-
petitiveness of standing first is created for which stu-
dents keep on studying day and night without any rec-
reation It is good to study but not just for the sake of
gaining marks
Why do we study What is the main intention behind
education Seeking interesting and fascinating
knowledge as well as facts about the world But now-a
-days the main reason for studying is gaining marks
If there are no marks no career and no success This
is the mindset of 70 people of the world especially
parents They pressurize their children so much that
they get depressed or sometimes attempt suicide as
wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-
ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities
chapter test after every topic notebookfile submis-
sion etc And as cherry on top of the cake we have the
semester exams of eighty marks as well What all will
the students do And even if any extra-curricular ac-
tivities are being learnt then more extra studies Just
study study and study
Why so much of tension on the children Under this
tension only they start cheating As time passes cheat-
ing becomes a habit of their lifeI fell that exams
should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate
whether the students are clear with the concepts or
not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but
should be made understand their mistakes Let them
choose their own career options on their own Help
them know what they like to study and what they want
to do in their life So dont pressurize students for
what they dont like and encourage them in what they
do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the
country

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B
Life is all about interactions You meet people and
you interact You observe them consciously or sub-
consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us
more than we even realise Some people leave a last-
ing impression on us and entirely change the course of
life for better or for worse Some people influence us
help us go further and make all the difference
I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-
tial people They have taken care of me ever since I
came into this world They are the ones who wish the
best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-
cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel
no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-
come a part of my personality They are the ones who
helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me
to be better
When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are
the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-
takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique
learning experience It has made me realise how eve-
rything they do has a reason They are the ones who
have taught me the importance of the little things in
life They are the ones who have helped me recognize
and follow my passion The very thought of them not
being a part of my life is scary to the least as without
them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am
today and whatever I have achieved is all because of
them and I am very grateful of that
Eyesight
-Aditi Shenoy VIII-F
The tired little girl went to bed
Recollecting the days bygone
Seeing them in her dreams
As the day she was born
Trying to see the world
With her little eyes
But the sun with his brightness
Wouldnt let her catch the sights
The girl still eager
And curious to see the world around her
Again opened her eyes
But her vision was blurred
Still she did not lose hope
Which flowed through her blood
Encouraging and pushing her
To see the world further
Her heart beating fast
Her enthusiasm increasing
She slowly tried to see
With her eyes continuously blinking
Starting to lose hope
She was ready to give up
But curiosity got the upper hand
And pushed her forward
With her hope again rising
and strength in her eyesight
She is finally seeing the world
With wide open eyes

Conquering the space
-Marisha Nath VIII-C
ldquoThere is no failure in Science it is only continual
effort to conquer the unknown On the way even if we
face failure it rather adds more value to our effort for
our next journey to know the unknownrdquo
Chandrayan-2 Indiarsquos Moon Mission The dream of
entire India to land on moon and become the 4th Na-
tion in the world to put its flag on the soil of moon
after USSR USA amp China
ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launched
Chandrayan-2 on 22nd July 2019 from Bengaluru
(Satish Dhawan Space Center) under the command of
ISRO chief K Shivan It consists of ORBITER
LANDER amp Lunar Rover PRAGYAN Like Chandra-
yan-1(22nd Oct2008) it was Indiarsquos indigenous moon
mission
It touched the Moon Surface on Saturday early morn-
ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-
ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-
ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of
moon it lost contact with the ground station Because
of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be
monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m
(approx) away from its assigned location near
SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still
orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange
signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it
The ORBITER which will remain active for another
12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-
owed portion of the moon for the first time in history
with the help of its high-resolution camera
The entire Nation irrespective of their field of
knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front
of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of
VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true
Indians who always dream progress and development
of their motherland But our heart never accepts this
as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement
for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-
pose of our mission
But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at
this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring
country quoting this as a big failure on part of India
blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos
money on this
Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will
be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to
this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other
nations on such missions
Further I should say that India is not new in the field
of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-
TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975
It was named after famous scientist of ancient India
ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested
for the first time the HELIOCENTRIC THEORY
(Sun at the center and all planets revolve around the
Sun) of the Solar System much earlier than ready for
New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 57
COPERNICUS as believed in the western world
Other countries might have moon on their flags but
we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is
great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are
whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-
rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is
only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the
unknown and its continual application for the benefit
of the mankind)rdquo
Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by
various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-
PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-
cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958
onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as
46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was
attempted out of which only 21 was successful
Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-
tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the
overall attempts conducted by other Nations
USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-
NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was
planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January
SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR
successfully on moon
NASA after many attempts was successful to send
first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th
July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk
on moon
Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-
clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-
SION MANGAL for our next moon mission

Taras intelligence
- Pritika Manohar kadam VIII ndashD
Once upon a time there lived a couple near the town
They were just married and expected a child After a
year they had twins Both were charming Their
names were Yash and Tara
Tara was expected to do the household work and
Yash was to go to school and do a job Tara was an
very intelligent girl so she used to take her brothers
old books and study on her own
One fine day she asked her brother Why every time
I have to do the household work and not study like
you Her brother asked many people but got a com-
mon answer that girls are not meant to study
So both of them decided to ask their father He gave a
confusing answer that if Tara wants to go to school I
can help her to learn and write but which school will
give her admission I cant fight for one girl
She understood what he meant so Tara had an idea
about that She gathered her friends and told them the
importance of education
Next day she gathered them and
went to her father and said you
wont help one girl (me) so can
you help us to study Her father was impressed by her
intelligenceHe took them to the principal who was
his friend and requested him several times about the
admission of the girls
At last one day he agreed to take the admission of
those girls They started going to school everyday
The problem was all the people were frustrated They
used to throw garbage near their house and also say
abusing words Also stop the ways of the girls for
going to school
They also took the house of Tara and Yash They
used to live in a hut with those girls as well
The people used to throw stones on them The girls
did not lose their hopes and studied hard All those
after many years started working in office
The people were proud afterwards and they started a
girls school They gave back house of Yash and Tara
The ordeal to say a lsquogoodbyersquo
-Nidhi Mishra VIII-G
Together we laughed
Together we wept
Myriad fond impressions We kept
Jointly we danced like daisy
We didnrsquot bother about others
We chuckled like crazy
Concerning about the fussy was tempestuous
Together we were scintillating
We were engrossed in
Our cackles were uplifting
Something was sinister I remained keen
That gloominess was undesirable
Not you but our disunion was near
Our parting was lamentable
The distance between us was my fear
Our disunion was forthcoming
I wished I could quit it
Tears from our eyes were running
With those yet we had to split
Years had flown by
Not the echo
The ordeal to say a
lsquogoodbyersquo
And to lose a loyal oppo

My dream House
-Harshith Nair IX-B
Voila I have shifted to my new house
Away from those lizards and that cunning mouse
That was once a basic and simple house
Now canrsquot get over the whoaas and wowws
Ancient doors and artefacts with a palatial tinge
Enter and you would feel yoursquove got wings
Vintage artefacts and interiors add to the glam
quotient
A gramophone an antique
telephone that take you to an
era thatrsquos ancient
To me and my brotherrsquos surprise therersquos an excit-
ing bunk bed
Now who sleeps on the top therersquos gonna be a
bloodshed
I hate boasting but this onersquos the icing on the
cake
Let me tell you friends this was a dream all
fake
Friendship
-Divya Johnson VIII ndash I
Friendship has no form
sometimes it makes us feel secure and warm
Sometimes leaves us cold and forlorn
and sometimes gives us the power to go on
We mistake it often for something materializing
but itrsquos free and artistic
It is hard to catch
no other virtue has its match
Indomitable Earth - Poorvi Sanu IX ndashG
Our global crisis has created a cure
No A treatment for what is in the store
New seasons simmer shorelines bore
Plastics not fake its sweet
Everlasting a love we adore
Are you sure
Intestinal hurdle artwork framed
Mammals fattened by unnatural floating
Wild material machine Unseen
Where does your waste ream
What can I do
It takes more than
one It takes society
Globally to do what
needs to be done
Our footprint is mas-
sive weighty
Join Mother Earth
On our journey here and abroad
Full of disbelief and open scorn
Itrsquos worth the attempt to help her adorn
To help her heal her sores prevent more welts

Travelling via train -Aditya Patil VIII-E
Travelling is a prominent and a fun-learning activity of
our life It introduces us to new people their culture
and enhances skills that are essential in our lives
Travelling gives a wonderful experience to the travel-
ers especially by train I am being so sight to write the
essay lsquocause guess what ldquoI AM TRAVELLING IN
THE BUMPY TRAINrdquo hearing the quarrels for seats
with the bumps of the train
Train to me is the most favourite mode of transport for
long journeys I am sure even others love travelling via
train inspite of the long journey and time But if its
with families or with bachelor friends therersquos no one
stopping them from being happy During travelling we
also get familiar to stops during the journey where
people get off and enter This introduces us to the cul-
ture of those regions
and thatrsquos what makes our
India famous and legend-
ary We also get to eat
those India-famous snacks
from all over India like lsquoShehgaon kachorirsquo lsquo Kol-
hapuri misalrsquo and I would stop here or else I know
your mouth is watering and you wanna eat this
This is what travelling is It increases our general
knowledge as we get across so many new things Trav-
elling by train is much more affordable than aero-
planes where we just have to sit and enjoy the luxury
Travelling will also introduce you to all kinds of peo-
ple like the innocent ones the fighters the caring ones
who surrender themselves for you and sometimes the
people you know So to enjoy these beautiful moments
of life travel once or twice a year to refresh your-
selves
Control Yourself - Suvan Lokhande IX-A
Controlling yourself is something great that you have
achieved in your whole life Controlling a particular
thing with which you get addicted is a big thing Dur-
ing puberty children get addicted to various bad things
such as food mobile TV or maybe food
ldquoControl Yourself Kidrdquo ldquoDone not more than
thisrdquo ldquoControlrdquo such types of sentences maybe
familiar to you which must be said by your mom dad
teachers and your elders But thatrsquos exactly true what
they say I know that itrsquos difficult to leave a particular
thing with which you get addicted But still if you
leave it certainly this can make an impact in your life
I mean to say that leave only bad things and not the
good things like reading or studying Believe it every-
thing is possible in this whole world If Neil Arm-
strong can go to moon then why cannot you leave your
bad habit Lets take an example a
boy who likes to eat a lot he may
like to eat Chinese Continental
Asian and whatever But you must
take care of your fitness too We can
eat whatever we want but in a limit
If you start practicing such good practices you can
surely be the one who has changed his whole life to a
certain life
And these changes can definitely make you proudAt
last my opinions may have some differences but eve-
ryday we get to learn something from our daily experi-
ences And I truly believe that if we make a decision
and start opting it in our daily life we can surely our-
selves make a change in our whole life At last I con-
vey that you need to control yourself and follow this

Nature
- BHUMESH DADHWAL VIImdashC
The earth is full of surprises
Just look around yourself
It can be anywhere around you
Even somewhere in your bookshelf
The most surprising is nature
Itrsquos full of different stuff
It can be a human or thing or even a creature
We humans made strong big buildings
And thatrsquos what we think is great
But look deep in nature
You will find trees plants and Animals everywhere
Some may be mild And some may be wild
Mother nature provides us with our needs
And still we use it for our greeds
Letrsquos join hands together
To save this marvelous creation
For our next generation

Anger Management
- Sfurti Kumbhar IX-A
AngerhellipThe worst of emotions It causes a LOT of
problems Like damaged friendships separated fami-
lies to list a few The list is long But as many people
have tried and failed controlling anger can be impos-
sible at times when the little fuse in your brain blows
off Let us discuss controlling anger today
Basically anger management seems and sounds im-
possible But as it turns out it isnrsquot Itrsquos really simple
To be honest I am a cranky person Even the slightest
bit of annoying thing or the face of an irritating person
blows my fuse off So well yeah Irsquom trying to get it
under control Sort of
Impossible right Managing anger sounds easy You
can distract yourself from the situation Permanently
fix an imaginary meter in your brain which indicates
anger level My meter is always near 50-60 When I
say that Irsquom a cranky person you can see that I mean
it
As I was saying the meter Anytime you feel that the
meter is rising just find some ways to control it Like
the classic ldquodrink cool water to cool down your warm
headrdquo or breathe Listen to your fav music Or ask
yourself this simple question
ldquoIs getting angry at this person or screaming at them
going to improve my day in any way whatsoeverrdquo
If the answer is yes go ahead Scream all that you
want at the person and improve your day But if the
answer is no STOP yourself in time Maybe make
yourself an anger dice Or breathe in Out And may-
be the classic as mentioned above
Frankly these ways have helped me to reduce my
ldquofuse blowing offrdquo times since grade 4 Anger may be
one of the smartest issues but we are smarter
You are a masterpiece - Tisha Gangar VIII-A

With an end number of skills
Creativity is your strength
Keep safe till the end

Monsoon -Isha Bhanushali VIII
The most alluring part in monsoon season is the way
people tackle them Every where you scan people are
struggling back to reach their home back safely and it
indeed gives you a sense of achievement when you
reach home without getting drained by the gushing
water the automobiles blow on youWell my case is a
little bit different Every time I attempt not to step in-
side the puddle the next step will certainly be inside
it
It was raining heavily that day and unlike my usual
days it was a special one I got dispersed from my
classes by 600 and not aware about the conditions
outside I stepped outside expecting my van to pick
me up Suddenly there was gloomy all around and
there was silence everywhere (huh Because the light
went off) and to add insult to injury I got a call from
my Sir that the van will be com-
ing 1 hour late
I after a while made up my
mind I will set out and go on
my ownI took my umbrella and set out with my
friend The roads were all muddy and the water
reached up to my ankle The situation got testified as
it started raining heavily We all expected the rain to
stop after a while but it was adamant throwing its
tantrums on us All over the road there were vehicles
parked and there was no way to move
But not giving up we carried forward to reach our des-
tination After a long tiring journey of 1km (which
took us almost 1hr) we reached our home safely I had
a feeling of accomplishing a big feat that day
But the climax is here
I had to listen to my Moms scolding
Yes because I had stepped inside a big puddle
Soldier - Marisha Nath VIII-C
Dear soldier you sacrifice yourself for your nation

Man Woman and Equality Poorvi Sanu IX-G
Why are women considered inferior to men Why is
it so Even in the olden days gender inequality was
very common
Sati widows shravana shraddha managala gaur
akshaya tritiya child marriage karva chauthhellip
etcetera etcetera etceteraWhat do these words re-
mind you of Yep Thatrsquos right These are all systems
for women
These are sacrifices and systems that women perform
for their better halves So that their spouses have a
long and safe life But what do these spouses do in
return Discriminate these women Consider them
inferior I think that only about 15 of men give
equal opportunities and rights to women
This number is increasing no doubt but then this is a
slow processMen work approximately 6 ndash 8 hours a
day Women on the other hand work at least 16
hours a day Yet men get salary and women in some
cases donrsquot
To all the men and boys reading this I have a few
questions for youDo you have the guts to perform all
housework with 5 guests in the house Do you have
enough courage to change your sur-
name after marriage Do you have
the guts to leave your ancestral home
where you have lived for at least 23
years Are you ready to be dominated
by women More importantly are you ready to listen
to pungent words from your mother-in-law And of
course do you guys have courage to bear a child for 9
months and 9 days and give birth and nurture the ba-
by
Giving birth is simultaneous to fracturing 20 ndash 21
bones at once Did men know this And yet they con-
sider women weak They think that because wersquore
women we cannot thinkIf we cannot think who is
Marie Curie If we are weak who delivers kids
Women arenrsquot any different They are children of
gods They arenrsquot your personal secretaries they are
your partnersOnly a woman knows how much suffer-
ing women go through And yet women are discrimi-
nated daily
What women want is love and respect They work
hard for it they toil day and night and what they get
ishellipabsolutely nothing
Is this right
Submission to Peer Pressure -Akshat Mishra IX -G
ldquoHey Mohan When did you get this new iPhone-Xrdquo
we asked him in surprise as we knew the financial
condition of his family ldquoMy cousin gifted it to merdquo
quipped Mohan sheepishly All the boys resumed
playing but I knew there was something amissPeer
pressure is becoming increasingly inevitable amongst
teenagers One may argue that it is a part of human
nature It may be pivotal for a human being but its
darker side is certainly the more powerful one
People are easily succumbing to peer pressure without
realising its consequences Just to gain respect in
someonersquos eyes they are even ready to quarrel with
their parents and ward their attention from their nec-
essary activities A recent survey suggested that the
maximum people in a rave are a group of teenagers
The clutches of peer pressure are so strong that people
arenrsquot being able to listen even to their conscience
The youth mostly is just littering around the streets
smoking cigarettes boozing or becoming a victim to
social networks sites like Facebook or Instagram Hu-
man resource is the most valuable resource that we
have and the youth are supposed to replenish this re-
source not just to become egoists The are the future
of the planet but sadly they arenrsquot forging the path for
mankind that they are supposed to
Hopefully there is some resistance against this social
evil in modern days Such people have sworn to stay
adamant and not stray from the rightful path These
days of hope do believe in working for the greater
good and are spreading awareness and showing the
society that peer pressure is deleterious sort individual
growth and well being

ldquoFreedom of Press in Democracyrdquo
- Poorvi Sanu IX-G
A free press and a free judiciary are two very important
cornerstones of a democracy Especially in the modern
era of widely accessible news and innumerable infor-
mation at our fingertips freedom of press is highly valued
liberty that citizens should be aware of and know the rea-
son why it is given to us as Indians Freedom means those
people who state the liberty or right and privileged to
speak according to their will
Freedom is that opportunity which we should never avoid
and in all bad situations it gives us all right to handle the
problems in our own innovative and thoughtful way Press
and media are the vital way to express and speech some
views and opinions in a democratic country It is the me-
dium of expressing an opinion of the people It justifies
the individual right to speech and expression a coveted
right enshrined in the Indian constitution and the law of
other countries on the globe
The importance of freedom of press lies in the fact that
for most citizens the prospect of personal familiarity with
newsworthy events is unrealistic In seeking out news the
media therefore acts for the public in large it is the means
by which people receive free flow of information and ide-
as which is essential to intelligence self-governance that
is in turn democracy For a proper functioning of democ-
racy it is essential that
citizens are informed
about news from vari-
ous parts of the coun-
try and even abroad because only then can they form ra-
tional opinions A citizen surely cannot be expected per-
sonally to gather news to enable him or her to form such
opinions Hence the media plays an important role in a
democracy and serves as an agency of the people to gath-
er news for them
It is for this reason that freedom of press has been empha-
sised in all democratic countries while it was not permit-
ted in feudal or totalitarian regimes
In India the media have a great responsibility also to see
that the news they present is accurate and serve the inter-
est of the people If the media convey false news that may
harm the reputation of a person or a section of society it
may do a great damage since reputation is a valuable asset
for a person
Even if the media subsequently correct a statement the
damage done may be irreparable Hence the media should
take care to carefully investigate any news item before
carefully reporting it
I know of a case were the photograph of a High Court
judge who was known to be upright was shown on a TV
New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 22
channel along with that of a known criminal The alle-
gation against the judge was that he had acquired the
land not in any discretionary quota but in the open
market at the market priceAlso sometimes the media
present twisted or distorted news that may contain an
element of truth but also an element of untruth This
too should be avoided because a half-truth can be
more dangerous than a total lie The media should
avoid giving any slant to news and avoid sensational-
ism and yellow journalism Only then will they gain
the respect of the people and fulfil their true role in a
democracySome newspapers espouse the cause of
only one community
ldquoThey do not judge problems on their merits They
view problems from a communal angle Such newspa-
pers do disservice to the nation On the other hand
some responsible newspapers exercise great restraint
while reporting news about riots between two commu-
nities They never give the identity of the community
which started the riot If there are any casualties they
do not give a community-wise break up lest this
should trigger off a bigger riot
In India most of the newspapers are controlled by
business magnates Such newspapers therefore pro-
mote the interest of the capitalists by given tainted
news They pay no heed even to the genuine prob-
lems of the worker^ farmers artisans and other
weaker sections of the people
The press is the defender and the protector of the
rights and liberties of the people But it can per-
form this role only if it enjoys freedom in publish-
ing news views and reporting It can function ef-
fectively only in an open society where decisions are
made in a democratic manner The press should not be
scared of influential people The press should consider
it their duty to protect the right of the workers and oth-
er downtrodden sections of the people
While the press should enjoy freedom to perform its
role effectively it should not treat such freedom as a
licence to defame anybody It should not publish any
views or support any movement which violates our
Constitution or is against the territorial integrity and
unity of the country
To the conclusion As the worldrsquos largest democracy
India has a duty to ensure that the press has the duty to
disseminate information and express opinions without
excessive censorship Unfortunately in recent years
the right has been increasingly curbed This oppres-
sion of press is an alarming trend as it does not allow
for proper checks and balances on the government and
its activities The people of our country need to re-
member that in order to have a strong democracy they
need a strong and free press

Our Future Earth
- Hiya Purswani VIII B
We all know the present condition of our environment
around us Inspite of advanced and modern technolo-
gy we humans are still not able to find a solution
Early humans neither they had much technology nor
they had enough intelligence but still in the early ages
the environment was clean making it the reason for
the increasing life span of humans Its a shocking
news to know that the amount of plastic bottles pro-
duced now may lead to increase in plastic pollution
and cause several death
Its a great opportunity to be as a human in this beauti-
ful earth and so itrsquos our responsibility to make it
clean In monsoon people cut down trees to prevent
accidents to occur but do we plant trees in summer to
prevent more global warming We can prevent bad
things to happen but not cannot take that much efforts
for good things to spread Have you ever wondered
while seeing a tap open how many taps are left open
at the same time in the whole world It might sound
unbelievable there can be a World War III on water
land and fresh air The way we are thinking about the
wastage of water may lead us to a massive pain I trsquos
truly said by Warren Buffet sometimes to buy things
we need we have to sell things we do not need This
happens in the case of lacking of intelligence We say
every scholar is a true genius but in my opinion a per-
son is genius if he has the ability to save and change
things in his own way We all have the ability to save
this earth but our thoughts our ego and our greedi-
ness is stopping us to think in a better way rdquoEveryone
has a good and a bad side in his life What matters is
the part we choose to act upon rdquoThis is an excellent
thought said by Sirius Black in the movie Harry Pot-
ter Itrsquos time to bring a change
We always have time to do good things all we need is
hope Spreading awareness is the best idea to bring a
change If everyone stops thinking about their eco-
nomical needs and start contributing towards the envi-
ronment by planting more trees certainly there will be
a beneficial change in this world Neither do we think
about the future nor care about the present Why not
be an optimist and think in a positive way of life Our
studies our needs our knowledge will not help us in
any way if we donrsquot change Its not that easy to plant a
tree and care for it a whole year but if we only plant it
with all our love nature is certainly going to care for
it Lastly I would like to end with a quote Come
forth in the light of things nature will be your teach-
er
Endeavor
- Heet Shripal Kankariya VII-G
It is hard to recall the past
but good thoughts are forever
Remember the step you took
May it be stupid or clever
Though the time runs out
your hope should never
Dont lose ittry and endeavor
Do your best even if the conse-
quences make your work the worst
Try and try and make your work better
It is hard to recall the past
but good thoughts are forever
Remember the step you took maybe stupid or clever

The Aloof Humans - A curse to mother
earth - Vaijayanthimala Navneet VIII-J
With all the night strength and gust
Preserving nature is must
Mother Nature has been so lucrative
Letrsquos do something to save her
Something new and creativersquo
Let us get pollution under control
Before mother Earth weeps and implores
Let clean air sweep
Both high and deep
Let the tiny piece of land
Be clean tidy and neat
Let uncontaminated water be
So that everything doesnrsquot
end like the sea
Let the tree stand
lsquoCause it is more alluring than the seven colour band
Without being loquacious
Mother nature is indeed precious
The Little girl
- Bhumika Sharma VI-F
I found in a garage
Near the carriage
A tiny little baby girl
She had cute blue eyes
Which were very small in size
And had beautiful hair with a cute little curl
I wonder why she was there
And she came fromhellipwhere
I then asked a person passing on the road
If he knew the merciless who
kept her near the horses and
toads
The person replied ldquoWho cares
O Madamhellip
hellipFor a girl who is denied by her
dad and mum
I felt very sad and cried
But I saved her lest she died
Who will save many such girls
Imagine a world without these pearls
Treat them with respect and love
The Little Guest - Ashwathy Ganesh VI ndashD
It was rainy season
At home came a pigeon
It made its nest and was a pest
But there came another guest
Who shooed away the little pest
First there was nothing but a basket of twigs
And I watched it eating figs
When the thunder came with the rain
I got a bit scared
But it didnrsquot fly away
Because I took care
Soon there were three small
eggs
Which were taken care of by the guest
The bird is easy to guess
Because it doesnrsquot make a mess
With its red tail
It looked a bit frail
Between the plants green full full
Was the nest of the little Bulbul

The Art of Dharma as per Mahabharata
- Abhishek Singh [Teacher SrSecondary]
Dharma means the Duty or RighteousnessDharma is
subtle many times we are forced to take wrong
means for right means(and ends us like Arjuna in hell)
or reaches wrong ends following right means(like
Yudhishthira in exile)Its like the Ying and Yang
Duryodhanarsquos envy for the Pandvarsquos Indraprastha and
Yudhishthirarsquos greed or addiction to a game of dice
and win more territory was the main cause of war
The envy can result in healthy competitiveness raising
oneself up by making the envious work harder for
rivalrsquos possessions or eternal sickness to pull the rival
downThe envy and greed are both presents even in
the
modern day world the failure
of communism was caused by
envy among citizens while the
capitalist system is stranded by greed The aim of so-
ciety should not be to suppress these feelings among
its citizens but to channelize them productively Envy
is the vice of socialism Greed is the evil of capital-
ism
Dharma is not justice Its difference between Retribu-
tive Justice and forgiveness While a nation with
stronger legal laws can prefer justice over peace the
newly created or war-torn nations with weaker legal
laws should prefer to restore peace and harmony in
society rather than emphasizing justice
Beware You are in for a scare
- Ayush Lonakadi IX-C
I had returned home late but after reaching home I had
wished I had not reached home that day There was no
electricity which just made it creepier When I
reached my room my exhaustion made me forget that
I was famished I lay on the bed scrolling down pic-
tures I had recently clicked I relived happy moments
but someone out there wasnrsquot happy to see me happy
and I noticed a photograph in my phone which be-
mused me ndash not mentioning how frightened I had be-
come
The picture waswashow can I explain The back-
ground was of my house In the photoI was
sleeping Butbut how could that have been possi-
ble I lived alone there was no one to click my photo
while I was sleeping I was petrified with my eyes
wide open and my whole body was horror-struck
Then all the unwanted noises came into focus ndash the
noises from outside noises of something creaking and
the wind forcefully blowing through the thin slit of the
window eerily
I was panic-stricken I
quickly switched my
phone off and kept it on
the table beside and did
not bother about changing my clothes and covered my
face with a blanket and hugged it tightly I could not
even think of sleeping Every second the clock ticked
I hugged the blanket harder My face and chest were
drenched in sweat I felt some supernatural move-
ments around me something trying to reach out to
me
By then I was praying to God to take me away from
that place I was ready to die Then something hap-
pened and I became frantic from tip to toe lsquoIt is Tues-
day todayrsquo The virtual assistant of my phone said but
I clearly remembered that I had switched off my
phone Who asked the question It was this trauma
that I couldnrsquot bear and today I am here telling you
this story after turning into a roaming soul Look to
your right I am right beside you

Travelling Aaryan Aggarwal IX - B
Travelling is an experience It doesnrsquot matter where
you travel Every place is great in its own ways You
could go to a culturally rich yet underdeveloped place
or you could go to an advanced metropolitan place
You could travel slow paced or you could be adven-
turous and go off the beaten path You could go to the
beach you could go to a museum It wonrsquot matter as
wherever you go you will always get a new and
different experience The experiences will open your
mind to a whole new world and culture which will
change your understanding and preconceived notions
about that place You will also get an opportunity to
detoxify yourself from social media Thus I believe
that travelling is more than just a hobby and can
change your entire thought process and state of
mind
Wallflower
- Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
She lived under a rock
More by force than by will
She lived there so long
She had nothing to fight with
All these people pushing her down
Her feeble frame could fight no long
She vowed to never stop the struggle
Until she had on her temples the crown
Declaring to the world her change
after years bygone
From being the young shy girl they saw
But all this struggle slowly had her crumbling
As she withered her dreams fading
Cause promises are sometimes left undone
When fate decides to yield a gun
And the world never saw the light
Of a wallflower wishing to shine so bright
Being Myself -Nidhi Mishra VIII-G
I did never lie to myself
Never strived to be someone else
And so I never shy
To look myself straight in the eye
I did never hide myself
And lavish a priceless gift
Having lsquolifersquo as its spell
Being myself Irsquoll uplift
Life is too short
Donrsquot be someone else
A onetime offer we have got
Even more precious than a thousand jewels

Women Empowerment - Devangi Dongre VII-B
The abilities of women in making decisions educa-
tion and profession have been largely suppressed
since ages considering them inferior to men The sit-
uation is worst in underdeveloped and developing na-
tions where women in a family are not allowed to
take financial decisions or decide on matters regard-
ing their own educationWith such state of affairs it
would be a fallacy to dream about the goals of sus-
tainable development and gender equality There is an
instant need to take measures to lift the social
personal and professional
status of women bringing
them shoulder to shoulder
with men These particular
measures constitute a pro-
cess which is known as ldquoWomen Empowermentrdquo
Providing better education and employment opportu-
nities to women ensuring their better health provid-
ing justice and ensuring professional equivalence are
the few methods of women empowerment

- Aaryan Aggarwal IX-B
He looked from afar at his towering creation A re-
mote island in the Pacific Ocean seemed like a great
refuge after what had been happening on the Earth
He chose secrecy as his mission had raised many eye-
brows The plan was simple lsquoEscape and start overrsquo
Right now Moon seemed to be the most viable option
in terms of survival The research had been done
Moon was habitable So close to our abode our cos-
mic neighbor the Moon must exist for a reason It-
will not just be a secondary habitat but also be a step-
ping stone for further progress
His meticulously crafted plan was now just minutes
away from execution A team of four explorers would
first leave Earth and explore the Moon to test his hy-
pothesis Once a temporary col-
ony using genetically engi-
neered pods containing human
embryos is set up they would
further analyze the surroundings and find ways to
make it more habitable The lesser gravitational pull
which allowed for a comparatively lower escape ve-
locity made it easier to transport resources from the
Earth or the ISS Sure it would be difficult at first
Earth is unmatched but he knew it was for the greater
good of mankind It would mean more opportunities
and help us understand our place in this universe
Right now we have confined ourselves in a box and
this is the only way to leave it and unleash the won-
ders of the universe In front of his eyes it flew never
to come back

Irsquom steady upon the decision
About which Irsquoll never disclaim
Accepting the outcome never blame
To impulse refer those achieves
Itrsquos your resolve donrsquot quit

To perceive ones way to success
A dose of victory isnrsquot enough
Itrsquos always limitless
Television Pros and Cons
- Soumya Sheth
What do most of the people do these days to entertain
themselvesEveryone likes to switch ON their televi-
sion sets which is one of the exceptional inventions of
science When our Dads come home tired after office
the first thing they would like to do is switch On the
TV and relax while watching it from his sofa seat
This is because while watching different things that
are broadcasted on TV we forget our worries and re-
grets of the day
However like every good and popular inventions tel-
evision also has its set of some worrying habits that
people get hitched to For example sometimes kids
watch it for extensive time thereby affecting their
studies This is one of the most worrying habit for par-
ents and we should know that ignoring studies is not
good for our future and studying is as much important
for us at this tender age more than anything elseItrsquos
true that television can bring us the knowledge from
across the world We can see different parts of the
world virtually sitting at the same place But we
should know how
we can use this
incredible inven-
tion of science in
the right and bene-
ficial way for us Now-a-days Smart TVs have be-
come even more popular We can even use internet on
those TVs Use Google to search for answers we donrsquot
know use YouTube to understand how things are
made or get our doubts cleared and much much more
To summarize it I would like to urge all my fellow
students to use this precious invention of science in a
way that will benefit you to gain constructive
knowledge and avoid destructive knowledge We
should know that television is not the world but only a
small component of this world Please know that there

The night before the final examination
-Marisha Nath VIII- C
The night before the final examination appears to all
examinees as the night before the Battle of Waterloo
might have appeared to Napoleon or the Duke of Wel-
lington Our system of education being what it is we
examinees are bound to be anxious about the nature of
the nature of the questions we will have to answer
next day Even an earnest student who has done all
that needs be done by way of nervousness uncertainty
and suspense on the night before the examination The
morning of the examination finds them prostate with
nervous disorder
But this is one side the picture There are students
who may be described as soldiers of fortune They are
daredevil youngsters who do not take their examina-
tions seriously But their lack of preparation is more
than made up for by the short cuts or bazar notes they
have provided themselves with Even on the night
before the examina-
tion they would be
going about their
daily rounds They
may be found in the parks cafes and restaurants talk-
ing about tips ndashtalking glibly and confidently about
what questions are sure to come The morning of the
examination finds them as cheerful as they were on
the night before
What is needed most is self-confidence and a cool
head True we do not remember all that we have read
when we go to the Examination Hall This does not
mean that we have forgotten them Many things re-
main in the sub ndashconscious region They jump into
consciousness when we face the questions and seri-
ously think of the answers Often such answers score
more marks than prepared ones
Elegance
-Prajna VIII-D
Elegant you be for the universe to learn your versatility
Brighter you shine the orb will know your sustenance
The stars moons and clouds let know your dignity
Apparently it seems your flawless abundance
The ideal triumph mustnrsquot be exaggerated
Till you salve someonersquos hurt
Elegant you be for the universe to learn your versatility
How can you be silent if you donrsquot know your efficiency
One of the values to become successful is simplicity
Through elegance letrsquos spread positivist

Chocoland - Talreja Aastha IV-J
Once I had been to the Chocolate Land
Chocolate all around to the reach of my hand
Toffees candies lollies and bars
In my mouth a crunchy munchy war
White dark nutty and sweet
Just like a dreamy treat
Colourful wrapper shiny and bright
Which one to choose which would be right
Houses made of chocolates and doors made of bars
And out stood there a chocolate car
Soon after it was 6 oclock
And could hear the doorrsquos knock
I woke up in a hurry
Just to realise that it was a dream
Me Myself

The ant and the elephant
- SOUMEN RAO IV-E
Once upon a time in a forest there lived an ant and an
elephant The elephant was the biggest among all the
elephants So he was very proud of himself and used
to criticize everyone and the ant which was the tiniest
among them was very happy and cheerful It used to
help everyone I its own way
All the animals in the forest used to complain about
the egoistic elephant So one day when the ant saw the
elephant walking towards it it immediately thought of
a plan As soon as the elephant came near the ant
said ldquoHello My friendrdquo but the elephant replied rude-
ly saying ldquoYou tiny
ant Get off my way
otherwise yoursquoll get
crushed to deathrdquo
Hearing this ant
challenged the elephant sayingrdquo My big friend I can
make you cryrdquo The ant quickly climbed onto the trunk
of the elephant and ran towards its earit went inside
the ear and started biting the elephants ear The ele-
phant tried to flap its ears but in vain After a few
minutes tears started rolling down its eyes It cried
ldquoPlease come out of my ear I canrsquot bear the painrdquo As
soon as the ant came out the elephant apologized for
its mistake and didnrsquot tease any animals from that day
Grandparents
-Aditya Patil VIII-E
The best place in vacation
A heaven like destination
Their love for us is endless
All their sacrifices are worthless
Great is their surrounding divinity
In front of our ordinary identity
To your grandparents never be rude
Because they are your
coolest dude
They yell at our parents
when we are shouted
With generosity and be-
nevolence they are bounded
Be sure to always meet your grandparents once in a
while and enhance yourself by their presence

Women Empowerment
- Devangi Dongre VII-B
The abilities of women in making decisions education and profession have
been largely suppressed since ages considering them inferior to men The situa-
tion is worst in underdeveloped and developing nations where women in a fami-
ly are not allowed to take financial decisions or decide on matters regarding their own education
With such state of affairs it would be a fallacy to dream about the goals of sustainable development and gen-
der equality There is an instant need to take measures to lift the social personal and professional status of
women bringing them shoulder to shoulder with men These particular measures constitute a process which
is known as ldquoWomen Empowermentrdquo Providing better education and employment opportunities to women
ensuring their better health providing justice and ensuring professional equivalence are the few methods of
women empowerment
Water Conservation
- Paarth Bhagat VII-J
Water is life If there was no water there would be no
life Hence water is the precious gift of God to mother
Earth We cannot imagine our lives without water
We human beings are made up of water it is the only
transportation medium that carries the food molecules
and oxygen to the cells of every body parts to help the
blood It signifies that water is the most essential in-
gredient to the functioning of life of every organism
So you see living this wonderful life is impossible
without water
Water is the force behind all the industry agriculture
manufacturing and trade and commerce All forms of
energy generation is done using water Be it hydroe-
lectrically projects or thermal power plant or nuclear
power plant water is
the key ingredient in
all of them There
would be no power
without water No
water no life
So it is our responsibility to conserve this life nectar
It is possible only through by changing our outlook
towards this wonderful natural resource We must en-
sure there is no pollution of water bodies by dumping
any waste such as sewage effluents and other toxic
substances We must also ensure there is no emission
of green-house gases into the atmosphere The people
and the government must ensure installation of efflu-
ents and smoke treatment plants at industrial garbage
and sewage units

The kind Fairies -Aditys Patil VIII-E
This story starts with two beautiful babies in a king-
dom called fairyland The babies were very pretty
Their names were Ovi and Riddhi They were growing
pretty well As they grew they became more and
more pretty Over and over they were also fairies and
within 5 years they became young girls Their mother
told them to go to school The girls askedwhere are
the schools There are no schools here Mother said
dont worry you will go to the planet Earth On the
planet Earth there is a very good school named New
Horizon Public School and the short form is nhps We
said ok On the first day of our school we were very
afraid but after a few days we
became more smart than the
others We were getting a lot of
prizes which we shared with
eveyone in the school This
made us and others happy One day We became the
princess of fairyland Our wings were like a rainbow
We were twins and had very long hairs Now I end
my story with a beautiful quote
ALWAYS HELP EACH OTHER LIKE THE
FARIES BECAUSE HELPING PEOPLE IS THE
PATH TO GOD
The Day Irsquoll Never Forget - Saranya Sarangi VII -
It was a day of love and affection
There was no visible sign of caution
But something unfortunate was going to happen
Nobody knew where and when
There was a blast at half past three
In a beauty land called Paradise On Earth
A complete silence and pity hadnrsquot the thee
Perished laid the martyrs
Whom our motherland gave birth
I still remember that scaring sight
The scattered limbs I couldnrsquot see
My heart got filled with grief and fright
No Indian could glee
Terribly writhing the soldiers were seen
Some families languished and some
were crying
So loyal to their country they had been
None of their families were mollifying
Whatever homage to our martyrs we pay
Tiny before their they lay
Salute to their tribute to motherland
To protect us they always walked hand in hand
Little Birdie - Marisha Nath VIII-C
I am a little birdie in the sky
With two wings to fly
I never disturb you
I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom
O human Then why do you steal my FREEDOM
Binding me alone in the cage makes me sad
Donrsquot you know caging a bird is bad
Looking at the sky
I wish I could fly
I never disturb you
I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom
O human Then why do you steal my
FREEDOM

Summers in India - Saranya Sarangi VIII
A hot season beginning from April till May is what we
call summer And thatrsquos the basic rule in India But
thatrsquos not something through which we can define
summers in our country India The sun shining high
above the head increasing the heat and this scorching
heat is something very unique about summers in India
Those ice-lolly stalls roaming down the streets tin-
kling their tiny bells is something special one will nev-
er find in any other country Many people love this
season
Especially the children as they get to eat ice-creams
Many people even donrsquot As they feel that this season
can only make a person dehydrated exhausted and irri-
tated Summer as we think as an unfruitful season is
contrast in reality Schools conduct summer camps
during vacation where stu-
dents can join different aca-
demic and co-curricular
courses to improve them-
selves Many children even spend time with their fami-
lies
Often families plan trips to different places as they get
a very long vacation during this season But now-a-
days due to increasing heat these pleasant summers
are becoming unbearable Every just sweat and sweat
We get a lethargic feeling not ready to do any work
Due to this heat we continually keep the ACs on which
consume a lot of electricity creating trouble for our
mother Earth and us Gradually that charm of the
unique kind of summers will be lost if precautions are
not taken We must really hope and work hard to bring
back our lovely lsquoSummers in Indiarsquo
Exams are good or bad
- Nupoor Teli VIIIndashI
In my humble opinionexams are apressure on the stu-
dents They are forced to study and score good
markswhich can lead to frustration An environmentof
competitivenessof standing first is created for which
students keep on studying day and night without any
recreation It is good to studybut not just for the sake
of gaining marks
Why do we study What is the main intention behind
education Seeking intersresting and fascinating
knowledge as well as facts about the world But now-a
-daysthe main reason for studying is gaining marks If
there are no marksno career andno success This is the
mindset of 70 people of the worldespecially parents
They pressurize their children so much that they get
depressed or sometimes attempt suicide as well
Every two months an exam is conducted Moreo-
verthere are projectssubject-enrichment activi-
tieschapter test sfter every topicnotebookfile submis
sion etcAnd as acherry on top
of the cakewe have the semes-
ter exams of eighty marks as
well What all will the students
do And even if any extra-
curricular activities are being learntthen more extra
studies Just studystudy and study
Why so much of tension on the children Under this
tension only they start cheating As time passes cheat-
ing becomes a habit of their life
I fell that exams should be conducted once a term in
order to evaluate whether the students are clear with
the concepts or notThey shouldnt be pressurized for
their marksbut should be made understand their mis-
takes Let them choose their own career options on
their own Help them knowwhat they like to study and
what they want to do in their life So dont pressurize
students for what they dont likeand encourage them in
what they do After allthey are only the Rising stars of
the country

Life is magical - Piyush Sahoo VII-H
A new day or a new night
Everything in life seems bright
A new morning or a new evening
Life is full of happening
A life is just like a kite
It may disappear in a sight
Life moves from baby to old
Make your life challenging and bold
Enjoy life the fullest
Never accept less than best
Unlikely life comes to an end
But remember never to bend
Happy sadness victory and loss
Accept it the way it comes
Life can be at times tragical
But make it the most beautiful
Life is magicalhellip
Life is so magicalhellip
Humility -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
Humility is having a heart to treat others with respect
and love Considering people worthy of your love
time and efforts regardless of who they are or what
they have done A person is truly humble when they
are willing to work hard for others expecting nothing
in return
Humility has the power to change a personrsquos perspec-
tive towards life It can make a difference in the way a
person is looked upon by others Doing an act of hum-
bleness can make a personrsquos day Humility is about
not having an ego or considering things below your
dignity or considering yourself greater than others
People often confuse humility with self-respect They
canrsquot make out the difference between being useful to
others and being used by others
It takes courage to be humble
because in the era in which we
live humility is looked upon as
weakness People assume yoursquore not strong enough to
stand up for yourself They think you surrender in-
stead of protesting They will despise and scorn you
but they donrsquot know that you take pleasure in what
you do because they havenrsquot experienced that kind of
joy
So if you do have humility donrsquot draw back from it
because of what others think Whatever you are doing
is for the good of others and you have no need to be
ashamed of that Humbleness will spread from person
to person Who knows maybe your one act of humili-
ty will spread on to help a person in need So be brave
be humble
Mom -Tanvi Sawant VII-C
Oh mom I came to this beautiful world just because

always be with mehellip
Oh mom this world is incomplete
without you
Just like the sky without itrsquos bright color bluehellip
Oh mom yoursquore the candle that showed the way in the
dark
My dear mom you made my life spark

OUR FUTURE EARTH - Hiya Purswani VIII-B
We all know the present condition of our environment
around us Inspite of advanced and modern technolo-
gy we humans are still not able to find a solution
Early humans neither they had much technology nor
they had enough intelligence but still in the early ages
the environment was clean making it the reason for
the increasing life span of humans Its a shocking
news to know that the amount of plastic bottles pro-
duced now may lead to increase in plastic pollution
and cause several death Its a great opportunity to be
as a human in this beautiful earth and so its our re-
sponsibility to make it clean In monsoon people cut
down trees to prevent accidents to occur but do we
plant trees in summer to prevent more global warm-
ing We can prevent bad things to happen but not can-
not take that much effort for good things to spread
Have you ever wondered while seeing a tap open how
many taps are left open at the same time in the whole
world It might sound unbelievable there can be a
World War III on water land and fresh air The way
we are thinking about the wastage of water may lead
us to a massive pain Itrsquos truly said by Warren Buffet
sometimes to buy things we need we have to sell
things we do not need This happens in the case of
lacking of intelligence We say every scholar is a true
genius but in my
opinion a person is
genius if he has the
ability to save and
change things in his
own way We all have the ability to save this earth
but our thoughts our ego and our greediness is stop-
ping us to think in a better way Everyone has a good
and a bad side in his life What matters is the part we
choose to act upon This is an excellent thought said
by Sirius Black in the movie Harry Potter Itrsquos time to
bring a change We always have time to do good
things all we need is hope Spreading awareness is the
best idea to bring a change If everyone stops thinking
about their economical needs and start contributing
towards the environment by planting more trees cer-
tainly there will be a beneficial change in this world
Neither do we think about the future nor care about
the present Why not be an optimist and think in a
positive way of life Our studies our needs our
knowledge will not help us in any way if we donʼt
change Its not that easy to plant a tree and care for it a
whole year if we only plant it with all our love nature
is certainly going to care for it Lastly I would like to
end with a quoterdquo Come forth in the light of things
nature will be your teacher
The Small Hours Pranjal Anil Chavan V-C
No more my little song Come back
And now of nights I lay my head on down
to watch the black
And wait the unfailing gray
Oh Sad are winter nights and slow
And sad is a song thatrsquos dumb
And sad it is to lie I know
Another dawn will come

Floods and Destruction
- Nirvi Soni IV-H
India faces occurrence of floods each year in some
parts of Assam during the rainy season Water of river
Brahmaputra rises and enters into many villages
causing great destruction Floods are unavoidable but
we need to take precautions in the following ways by
reducing mining activities building dams growing
more trees etc During floods the weather becomes
wet and gloomy Trees and plants get uprooted This
way floods cause great de-
struction to both life and
property It also becomes dif-
ficult to travel from place to
place Many people are left
homeless The rain water should be harvested and
stored in large storage tanks The harvested rainwater
can be used for washing clothes and cleaning By us-
ing rain water in our daily life we can preserve water
resources
Good Morning Everyone -Vyomi ThakkarVI - H

Wersquoll surely find the crown
Up on the chilled mountain
We saw a beautiful fountain
Surrounded by a beautiful castle
Decorated with the colourful tassel
Just be quiet and keen
Soon you will be the queen
Think before you speak
-Shravya Atreya IX-D
Think before you speak
There are hearts you must please
Think before you speak
You canrsquot undo the harm done after you squeak
Think before you speak
You might have done greater harm than you might
think
Think before you speak
There are still places left for you
to seek
Think before you speak
There is a long way to go before
you sleep
Think before you speak
There are hearts you must
please

GLOBAL WARMING - Adhyant Singh VII-F
Global warming refers to the steady rise in the Earthrsquos mean temperature The effect of global
warming had come into sight when polar ice caps started melting this phenomena is called ICE ndash
ALBEDO the ice caps melt faster due to the rise in the temperature This sudden rise in the temperature near
the poles began in 1999 The polar ice caps in Antarctica melt at the rate of 400000000000 tons per year ac-
cording to some scientists it would approximately take 5000 years to melt the total ice on earth In 2013 Inter-
governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) stated that the main cause of Global warming is human inter-
vention like emission of Green house gases like Carbon-Di-Oxide nitrous oxide and methane
These gases trap the heat which is reflected by the Earthrsquos surface thus increasing the temperature and also
destroying the ozone layer which prevents the ultraviolet rays of the sun from reaching the earthrsquos surface Al-
so burning fossil fuel contributes to the problem Effects of global warming have also led to the increase in the
sea level and extreme weather like heat waves and change in the regional pattern of precipitation and the ex-
pansion of desserts A concentrated and focused effort by the entire humanity can curb down the impact of
Global warming and also prevent it Planting more trees to control the amount of carbon-di-oxide eliminating
the use of chlorofluorocarbon or (CFCrsquoS) are a few steps All the countries have signed up with the United Na-
tions Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to prevent the doomsday of Earth So to prevent
earthrsquos doomsday we all must work together
Itrsquos not too late there is still timehellipBefore the earth ends and we whinehellipSo keep on marching and planting
greens To end Global Warming and Make our planet greenhellip

The Night - Matangi Rajesh VII-D
Its the night
The moon is white
When we switch off the light
What a beautiful sight
After this comes the sun bright
There is no more artificial light
This is the time to start your diet
To go for a run wearing tights
Then comes the evening when
you have snacks light
And fly a big colorful kite
or include your sibling in a pillow fight
Again comes the night
A moon which is white
We switch off the light
A beautiful sight

Hyperloop -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
Human inventions have baffled the world They are
innumerable ranging from revolutionizing
smartphones to not-so-breathtaking ice cream cones
but they play a role in our life just the same The
things which are commonplace to us now were unbe-
knownst to people once upon a time For the people of
the 19th century the car was a thing of the future until
in 1885 Karl Benz ran his first car on the road Then
for centuries people took the prospect of of flying like
the birds as only a wild possibility which was made
possible in 1903 when the Wright Brothers flew the
first plane
What is the thing of the future for us Well we are the
future modifying and bettering the things that have
been made and crating stuff that we didnt even dare
to imagine about The Hyperloop fulfills both aspects
of the definition a very advanced model of our faith-
ful train and yet a brand new idea to scale greater
heights The Hyperloop is an ideal mode of efficient
transport Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane
with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing
speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt have to
ace the two types of friction that every other vehicle
has to face Air resistance and ground friction The
pods of the Hyperloop are propelled through a depres-
surized tub Since it is almost vacuum very little air
resistance can be offered inside the tube Due to this
the energy required to travel is also very less The Hy-
perloops unique technology uses magnetic levitation
to guide and lift the pods of the rail Since the pod is
not in contact with the ground there is no friction act-
ing on itThe first Hyperloop ndash virgin Hyperloop one
is set to run with passengers as early as 2021 and is
created by SpaceX and Tesla
The mastermind behind the Hyperloop is Elon Musk
who first published a 58 page white-paper on the web-
site of his company-Space X It was available to all
and was titled Hyperloop alpha The Hyperloop may
be the pioneer of a whole new era of transportation
traveling a distance which would otherwise take 12
hours in just I hour it has crossed all known bounda-
ries and created higher limits for us to reach and reach

an option that saves both needs to be used
Exams are good or bad -Nupoor Teli VIII
In my humble opinion exams are pressure on the stu-
dents They are forced to study and score good marks
which can lead to frustration An environment of com-
petitiveness of standing first is created for which stu-
dents keep on studying day and night without any rec-
reation It is good to study but not just for the sake of
gaining marks
Why do we study What is the main intention behind
education Seeking interesting and fascinating
knowledge as well as facts about the world But now-a
-days the main reason for studying is gaining marks
If there are no marks no career and no success This
is the mindset of 70 people of the world especially
parents They pressurize their children so much that
they get depressed or sometimes attempt suicide as
wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-
ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities
chapter test after every topic notebookfile submis-
sion etc And as cherry on top of the cake we have the
semester exams of eighty marks as well What all will
the students do And even if any extra-curricular ac-
tivities are being learnt then more extra studies Just
study study and study
Why so much of tension on the children Under this
tension only they start cheating As time passes cheat-
ing becomes a habit of their lifeI fell that exams
should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate
whether the students are clear with the concepts or
not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but
should be made understand their mistakes Let them
choose their own career options on their own Help
them know what they like to study and what they want
to do in their life So dont pressurize students for
what they dont like and encourage them in what they
do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the
country

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B
Life is all about interactions You meet people and
you interact You observe them consciously or sub-
consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us
more than we even realise Some people leave a last-
ing impression on us and entirely change the course of
life for better or for worse Some people influence us
help us go further and make all the difference
I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-
tial people They have taken care of me ever since I
came into this world They are the ones who wish the
best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-
cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel
no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-
come a part of my personality They are the ones who
helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me
to be better
When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are
the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-
takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique
learning experience It has made me realise how eve-
rything they do has a reason They are the ones who
have taught me the importance of the little things in
life They are the ones who have helped me recognize
and follow my passion The very thought of them not
being a part of my life is scary to the least as without
them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am
today and whatever I have achieved is all because of
them and I am very grateful of that
Eyesight
-Aditi Shenoy VIII-F
The tired little girl went to bed
Recollecting the days bygone
Seeing them in her dreams
As the day she was born
Trying to see the world
With her little eyes
But the sun with his brightness
Wouldnt let her catch the sights
The girl still eager
And curious to see the world around her
Again opened her eyes
But her vision was blurred
Still she did not lose hope
Which flowed through her blood
Encouraging and pushing her
To see the world further
Her heart beating fast
Her enthusiasm increasing
She slowly tried to see
With her eyes continuously blinking
Starting to lose hope
She was ready to give up
But curiosity got the upper hand
And pushed her forward
With her hope again rising
and strength in her eyesight
She is finally seeing the world
With wide open eyes

Conquering the space
-Marisha Nath VIII-C
ldquoThere is no failure in Science it is only continual
effort to conquer the unknown On the way even if we
face failure it rather adds more value to our effort for
our next journey to know the unknownrdquo
Chandrayan-2 Indiarsquos Moon Mission The dream of
entire India to land on moon and become the 4th Na-
tion in the world to put its flag on the soil of moon
after USSR USA amp China
ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launched
Chandrayan-2 on 22nd July 2019 from Bengaluru
(Satish Dhawan Space Center) under the command of
ISRO chief K Shivan It consists of ORBITER
LANDER amp Lunar Rover PRAGYAN Like Chandra-
yan-1(22nd Oct2008) it was Indiarsquos indigenous moon
mission
It touched the Moon Surface on Saturday early morn-
ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-
ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-
ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of
moon it lost contact with the ground station Because
of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be
monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m
(approx) away from its assigned location near
SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still
orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange
signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it
The ORBITER which will remain active for another
12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-
owed portion of the moon for the first time in history
with the help of its high-resolution camera
The entire Nation irrespective of their field of
knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front
of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of
VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true
Indians who always dream progress and development
of their motherland But our heart never accepts this
as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement
for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-
pose of our mission
But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at
this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring
country quoting this as a big failure on part of India
blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos
money on this
Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will
be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to
this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other
nations on such missions
Further I should say that India is not new in the field
of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-
TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975
It was named after famous scientist of ancient India
ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested
for the first time the HELIOCENTRIC THEORY
(Sun at the center and all planets revolve around the
Sun) of the Solar System much earlier than ready for
New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 57
COPERNICUS as believed in the western world
Other countries might have moon on their flags but
we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is
great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are
whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-
rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is
only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the
unknown and its continual application for the benefit
of the mankind)rdquo
Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by
various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-
PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-
cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958
onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as
46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was
attempted out of which only 21 was successful
Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-
tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the
overall attempts conducted by other Nations
USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-
NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was
planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January
SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR
successfully on moon
NASA after many attempts was successful to send
first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th
July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk
on moon
Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-
clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-
SION MANGAL for our next moon mission

My dream House
-Harshith Nair IX-B
Voila I have shifted to my new house
Away from those lizards and that cunning mouse
That was once a basic and simple house
Now canrsquot get over the whoaas and wowws
Ancient doors and artefacts with a palatial tinge
Enter and you would feel yoursquove got wings
Vintage artefacts and interiors add to the glam
quotient
A gramophone an antique
telephone that take you to an
era thatrsquos ancient
To me and my brotherrsquos surprise therersquos an excit-
ing bunk bed
Now who sleeps on the top therersquos gonna be a
bloodshed
I hate boasting but this onersquos the icing on the
cake
Let me tell you friends this was a dream all
fake
Friendship
-Divya Johnson VIII ndash I
Friendship has no form
sometimes it makes us feel secure and warm
Sometimes leaves us cold and forlorn
and sometimes gives us the power to go on
We mistake it often for something materializing
but itrsquos free and artistic
It is hard to catch
no other virtue has its match
Indomitable Earth - Poorvi Sanu IX ndashG
Our global crisis has created a cure
No A treatment for what is in the store
New seasons simmer shorelines bore
Plastics not fake its sweet
Everlasting a love we adore
Are you sure
Intestinal hurdle artwork framed
Mammals fattened by unnatural floating
Wild material machine Unseen
Where does your waste ream
What can I do
It takes more than
one It takes society
Globally to do what
needs to be done
Our footprint is mas-
sive weighty
Join Mother Earth
On our journey here and abroad
Full of disbelief and open scorn
Itrsquos worth the attempt to help her adorn
To help her heal her sores prevent more welts

Travelling via train -Aditya Patil VIII-E
Travelling is a prominent and a fun-learning activity of
our life It introduces us to new people their culture
and enhances skills that are essential in our lives
Travelling gives a wonderful experience to the travel-
ers especially by train I am being so sight to write the
essay lsquocause guess what ldquoI AM TRAVELLING IN
THE BUMPY TRAINrdquo hearing the quarrels for seats
with the bumps of the train
Train to me is the most favourite mode of transport for
long journeys I am sure even others love travelling via
train inspite of the long journey and time But if its
with families or with bachelor friends therersquos no one
stopping them from being happy During travelling we
also get familiar to stops during the journey where
people get off and enter This introduces us to the cul-
ture of those regions
and thatrsquos what makes our
India famous and legend-
ary We also get to eat
those India-famous snacks
from all over India like lsquoShehgaon kachorirsquo lsquo Kol-
hapuri misalrsquo and I would stop here or else I know
your mouth is watering and you wanna eat this
This is what travelling is It increases our general
knowledge as we get across so many new things Trav-
elling by train is much more affordable than aero-
planes where we just have to sit and enjoy the luxury
Travelling will also introduce you to all kinds of peo-
ple like the innocent ones the fighters the caring ones
who surrender themselves for you and sometimes the
people you know So to enjoy these beautiful moments
of life travel once or twice a year to refresh your-
selves
Control Yourself - Suvan Lokhande IX-A
Controlling yourself is something great that you have
achieved in your whole life Controlling a particular
thing with which you get addicted is a big thing Dur-
ing puberty children get addicted to various bad things
such as food mobile TV or maybe food
ldquoControl Yourself Kidrdquo ldquoDone not more than
thisrdquo ldquoControlrdquo such types of sentences maybe
familiar to you which must be said by your mom dad
teachers and your elders But thatrsquos exactly true what
they say I know that itrsquos difficult to leave a particular
thing with which you get addicted But still if you
leave it certainly this can make an impact in your life
I mean to say that leave only bad things and not the
good things like reading or studying Believe it every-
thing is possible in this whole world If Neil Arm-
strong can go to moon then why cannot you leave your
bad habit Lets take an example a
boy who likes to eat a lot he may
like to eat Chinese Continental
Asian and whatever But you must
take care of your fitness too We can
eat whatever we want but in a limit
If you start practicing such good practices you can
surely be the one who has changed his whole life to a
certain life
And these changes can definitely make you proudAt
last my opinions may have some differences but eve-
ryday we get to learn something from our daily experi-
ences And I truly believe that if we make a decision
and start opting it in our daily life we can surely our-
selves make a change in our whole life At last I con-
vey that you need to control yourself and follow this
motto in your lifehelliphellipControl Yourself amp Be the
Change

Nature
- BHUMESH DADHWAL VIImdashC
The earth is full of surprises
Just look around yourself
It can be anywhere around you
Even somewhere in your bookshelf
The most surprising is nature
Itrsquos full of different stuff
It can be a human or thing or even a creature
We humans made strong big buildings
And thatrsquos what we think is great
But look deep in nature
You will find trees plants and Animals everywhere
Some may be mild And some may be wild
Mother nature provides us with our needs
And still we use it for our greeds
Letrsquos join hands together
To save this marvelous creation

Anger Management
- Sfurti Kumbhar IX-A
AngerhellipThe worst of emotions It causes a LOT of
problems Like damaged friendships separated fami-
lies to list a few The list is long But as many people
have tried and failed controlling anger can be impos-
sible at times when the little fuse in your brain blows
off Let us discuss controlling anger today
Basically anger management seems and sounds im-
possible But as it turns out it isnrsquot Itrsquos really simple
To be honest I am a cranky person Even the slightest
bit of annoying thing or the face of an irritating person
blows my fuse off So well yeah Irsquom trying to get it
under control Sort of
Impossible right Managing anger sounds easy You
can distract yourself from the situation Permanently
fix an imaginary meter in your brain which indicates
anger level My meter is always near 50-60 When I
say that Irsquom a cranky person you can see that I mean
it
As I was saying the meter Anytime you feel that the
meter is rising just find some ways to control it Like
the classic ldquodrink cool water to cool down your warm
headrdquo or breathe Listen to your fav music Or ask
yourself this simple question
ldquoIs getting angry at this person or screaming at them
going to improve my day in any way whatsoeverrdquo
If the answer is yes go ahead Scream all that you
want at the person and improve your day But if the
answer is no STOP yourself in time Maybe make
yourself an anger dice Or breathe in Out And may-
be the classic as mentioned above
Frankly these ways have helped me to reduce my
ldquofuse blowing offrdquo times since grade 4 Anger may be
one of the smartest issues but we are smarter
You are a masterpiece - Tisha Gangar VIII-A
There are songs in your eyes
Singing lullabies
The voice is so pretty
That it charms in the whole city
There is dance in your smile
With moves in a pile
You make people laugh
With dance as your better half
There is a magical art
Right inside your heart
Painting pictures which create
memories
That are soothing just like a
breeze
You are a Masterpiece
With an end number of skills
Creativity is your strength
Keep safe till the end

It is the light
that makes your life bright
Friend is the one
who brings out your good
A friend is the person
who makes your mood
Friend is like
a blooming flower

Monsoon -Isha Bhanushali VIII
The most alluring part in monsoon season is the way
people tackle them Every where you scan people are
struggling back to reach their home back safely and it
indeed gives you a sense of achievement when you
reach home without getting drained by the gushing
water the automobiles blow on youWell my case is a
little bit different Every time I attempt not to step in-
side the puddle the next step will certainly be inside
it
It was raining heavily that day and unlike my usual
days it was a special one I got dispersed from my
classes by 600 and not aware about the conditions
outside I stepped outside expecting my van to pick
me up Suddenly there was gloomy all around and
there was silence everywhere (huh Because the light
went off) and to add insult to injury I got a call from
my Sir that the van will be com-
ing 1 hour late
I after a while made up my
mind I will set out and go on
my ownI took my umbrella and set out with my
friend The roads were all muddy and the water
reached up to my ankle The situation got testified as
it started raining heavily We all expected the rain to
stop after a while but it was adamant throwing its
tantrums on us All over the road there were vehicles
parked and there was no way to move
But not giving up we carried forward to reach our des-
tination After a long tiring journey of 1km (which
took us almost 1hr) we reached our home safely I had
a feeling of accomplishing a big feat that day
But the climax is here
I had to listen to my Moms scolding
Yes because I had stepped inside a big puddle
Soldier - Marisha Nath VIII-C

Man Woman and Equality Poorvi Sanu IX-G
Why are women considered inferior to men Why is
it so Even in the olden days gender inequality was
very common
Sati widows shravana shraddha managala gaur
akshaya tritiya child marriage karva chauthhellip
etcetera etcetera etceteraWhat do these words re-
mind you of Yep Thatrsquos right These are all systems
for women
These are sacrifices and systems that women perform
for their better halves So that their spouses have a
long and safe life But what do these spouses do in
return Discriminate these women Consider them
inferior I think that only about 15 of men give
equal opportunities and rights to women
This number is increasing no doubt but then this is a
slow processMen work approximately 6 ndash 8 hours a
day Women on the other hand work at least 16
hours a day Yet men get salary and women in some
cases donrsquot
To all the men and boys reading this I have a few
questions for youDo you have the guts to perform all
housework with 5 guests in the house Do you have
enough courage to change your sur-
name after marriage Do you have
the guts to leave your ancestral home
where you have lived for at least 23
years Are you ready to be dominated
by women More importantly are you ready to listen
to pungent words from your mother-in-law And of
course do you guys have courage to bear a child for 9
months and 9 days and give birth and nurture the ba-
by
Giving birth is simultaneous to fracturing 20 ndash 21
bones at once Did men know this And yet they con-
sider women weak They think that because wersquore
women we cannot thinkIf we cannot think who is
Marie Curie If we are weak who delivers kids
Women arenrsquot any different They are children of
gods They arenrsquot your personal secretaries they are
your partnersOnly a woman knows how much suffer-
ing women go through And yet women are discrimi-
nated daily
What women want is love and respect They work
hard for it they toil day and night and what they get
ishellipabsolutely nothing
Is this right
Submission to Peer Pressure -Akshat Mishra IX -G
ldquoHey Mohan When did you get this new iPhone-Xrdquo
we asked him in surprise as we knew the financial
condition of his family ldquoMy cousin gifted it to merdquo
quipped Mohan sheepishly All the boys resumed
playing but I knew there was something amissPeer
pressure is becoming increasingly inevitable amongst
teenagers One may argue that it is a part of human
nature It may be pivotal for a human being but its
darker side is certainly the more powerful one
People are easily succumbing to peer pressure without
realising its consequences Just to gain respect in
someonersquos eyes they are even ready to quarrel with
their parents and ward their attention from their nec-
essary activities A recent survey suggested that the
maximum people in a rave are a group of teenagers
The clutches of peer pressure are so strong that people
arenrsquot being able to listen even to their conscience
The youth mostly is just littering around the streets
smoking cigarettes boozing or becoming a victim to
social networks sites like Facebook or Instagram Hu-
man resource is the most valuable resource that we
have and the youth are supposed to replenish this re-
source not just to become egoists The are the future
of the planet but sadly they arenrsquot forging the path for
mankind that they are supposed to
Hopefully there is some resistance against this social
evil in modern days Such people have sworn to stay
adamant and not stray from the rightful path These
days of hope do believe in working for the greater
good and are spreading awareness and showing the
society that peer pressure is deleterious sort individual
growth and well being

ldquoFreedom of Press in Democracyrdquo
- Poorvi Sanu IX-G
A free press and a free judiciary are two very important
cornerstones of a democracy Especially in the modern
era of widely accessible news and innumerable infor-
mation at our fingertips freedom of press is highly valued
liberty that citizens should be aware of and know the rea-
son why it is given to us as Indians Freedom means those
people who state the liberty or right and privileged to
speak according to their will
Freedom is that opportunity which we should never avoid
and in all bad situations it gives us all right to handle the
problems in our own innovative and thoughtful way Press
and media are the vital way to express and speech some
views and opinions in a democratic country It is the me-
dium of expressing an opinion of the people It justifies
the individual right to speech and expression a coveted
right enshrined in the Indian constitution and the law of
other countries on the globe
The importance of freedom of press lies in the fact that
for most citizens the prospect of personal familiarity with
newsworthy events is unrealistic In seeking out news the
media therefore acts for the public in large it is the means
by which people receive free flow of information and ide-
as which is essential to intelligence self-governance that
is in turn democracy For a proper functioning of democ-
racy it is essential that
citizens are informed
about news from vari-
ous parts of the coun-
try and even abroad because only then can they form ra-
tional opinions A citizen surely cannot be expected per-
sonally to gather news to enable him or her to form such
opinions Hence the media plays an important role in a
democracy and serves as an agency of the people to gath-
er news for them
It is for this reason that freedom of press has been empha-
sised in all democratic countries while it was not permit-
ted in feudal or totalitarian regimes
In India the media have a great responsibility also to see
that the news they present is accurate and serve the inter-
est of the people If the media convey false news that may
harm the reputation of a person or a section of society it
may do a great damage since reputation is a valuable asset
for a person
Even if the media subsequently correct a statement the
damage done may be irreparable Hence the media should
take care to carefully investigate any news item before
carefully reporting it
I know of a case were the photograph of a High Court
judge who was known to be upright was shown on a TV
New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 22
channel along with that of a known criminal The alle-
gation against the judge was that he had acquired the
land not in any discretionary quota but in the open
market at the market priceAlso sometimes the media
present twisted or distorted news that may contain an
element of truth but also an element of untruth This
too should be avoided because a half-truth can be
more dangerous than a total lie The media should
avoid giving any slant to news and avoid sensational-
ism and yellow journalism Only then will they gain
the respect of the people and fulfil their true role in a
democracySome newspapers espouse the cause of
only one community
ldquoThey do not judge problems on their merits They
view problems from a communal angle Such newspa-
pers do disservice to the nation On the other hand
some responsible newspapers exercise great restraint
while reporting news about riots between two commu-
nities They never give the identity of the community
which started the riot If there are any casualties they
do not give a community-wise break up lest this
should trigger off a bigger riot
In India most of the newspapers are controlled by
business magnates Such newspapers therefore pro-
mote the interest of the capitalists by given tainted
news They pay no heed even to the genuine prob-
lems of the worker^ farmers artisans and other
weaker sections of the people
The press is the defender and the protector of the
rights and liberties of the people But it can per-
form this role only if it enjoys freedom in publish-
ing news views and reporting It can function ef-
fectively only in an open society where decisions are
made in a democratic manner The press should not be
scared of influential people The press should consider
it their duty to protect the right of the workers and oth-
er downtrodden sections of the people
While the press should enjoy freedom to perform its
role effectively it should not treat such freedom as a
licence to defame anybody It should not publish any
views or support any movement which violates our
Constitution or is against the territorial integrity and
unity of the country
To the conclusion As the worldrsquos largest democracy
India has a duty to ensure that the press has the duty to
disseminate information and express opinions without
excessive censorship Unfortunately in recent years
the right has been increasingly curbed This oppres-
sion of press is an alarming trend as it does not allow
for proper checks and balances on the government and
its activities The people of our country need to re-
member that in order to have a strong democracy they
need a strong and free press

Our Future Earth
- Hiya Purswani VIII B
We all know the present condition of our environment
around us Inspite of advanced and modern technolo-
gy we humans are still not able to find a solution
Early humans neither they had much technology nor
they had enough intelligence but still in the early ages
the environment was clean making it the reason for
the increasing life span of humans Its a shocking
news to know that the amount of plastic bottles pro-
duced now may lead to increase in plastic pollution
and cause several death
Its a great opportunity to be as a human in this beauti-
ful earth and so itrsquos our responsibility to make it
clean In monsoon people cut down trees to prevent
accidents to occur but do we plant trees in summer to
prevent more global warming We can prevent bad
things to happen but not cannot take that much efforts
for good things to spread Have you ever wondered
while seeing a tap open how many taps are left open
at the same time in the whole world It might sound
unbelievable there can be a World War III on water
land and fresh air The way we are thinking about the
wastage of water may lead us to a massive pain I trsquos
truly said by Warren Buffet sometimes to buy things
we need we have to sell things we do not need This
happens in the case of lacking of intelligence We say
every scholar is a true genius but in my opinion a per-
son is genius if he has the ability to save and change
things in his own way We all have the ability to save
this earth but our thoughts our ego and our greedi-
ness is stopping us to think in a better way rdquoEveryone
has a good and a bad side in his life What matters is
the part we choose to act upon rdquoThis is an excellent
thought said by Sirius Black in the movie Harry Pot-
ter Itrsquos time to bring a change
We always have time to do good things all we need is
hope Spreading awareness is the best idea to bring a
change If everyone stops thinking about their eco-
nomical needs and start contributing towards the envi-
ronment by planting more trees certainly there will be
a beneficial change in this world Neither do we think
about the future nor care about the present Why not
be an optimist and think in a positive way of life Our
studies our needs our knowledge will not help us in
any way if we donrsquot change Its not that easy to plant a
tree and care for it a whole year but if we only plant it
with all our love nature is certainly going to care for
it Lastly I would like to end with a quote Come
forth in the light of things nature will be your teach-
er
Endeavor
- Heet Shripal Kankariya VII-G
It is hard to recall the past
but good thoughts are forever
Remember the step you took
May it be stupid or clever
Though the time runs out
your hope should never
Dont lose ittry and endeavor
Do your best even if the conse-
quences make your work the worst
Try and try and make your work better
It is hard to recall the past
but good thoughts are forever
Remember the step you took maybe stupid or clever

The Aloof Humans - A curse to mother
earth - Vaijayanthimala Navneet VIII-J
With all the night strength and gust
Preserving nature is must
Mother Nature has been so lucrative
Letrsquos do something to save her
Something new and creativersquo
Let us get pollution under control
Before mother Earth weeps and implores
Let clean air sweep
Both high and deep
Let the tiny piece of land
Be clean tidy and neat
Let uncontaminated water be
So that everything doesnrsquot
end like the sea
Let the tree stand
lsquoCause it is more alluring than the seven colour band
Without being loquacious
Mother nature is indeed precious
The Little girl
- Bhumika Sharma VI-F
I found in a garage
Near the carriage
A tiny little baby girl
She had cute blue eyes
Which were very small in size
And had beautiful hair with a cute little curl
I wonder why she was there
And she came fromhellipwhere
I then asked a person passing on the road
If he knew the merciless who
kept her near the horses and
toads
The person replied ldquoWho cares
O Madamhellip
hellipFor a girl who is denied by her
dad and mum
I felt very sad and cried
But I saved her lest she died
Who will save many such girls
Imagine a world without these pearls
Treat them with respect and love
The Little Guest - Ashwathy Ganesh VI ndashD
It was rainy season
At home came a pigeon
It made its nest and was a pest
But there came another guest
Who shooed away the little pest
First there was nothing but a basket of twigs
And I watched it eating figs
When the thunder came with the rain
I got a bit scared
But it didnrsquot fly away
Because I took care
Soon there were three small
eggs
Which were taken care of by the guest
The bird is easy to guess
Because it doesnrsquot make a mess
With its red tail
It looked a bit frail
Between the plants green full full
Was the nest of the little Bulbul

The Art of Dharma as per Mahabharata
- Abhishek Singh [Teacher SrSecondary]
Dharma means the Duty or RighteousnessDharma is
subtle many times we are forced to take wrong
means for right means(and ends us like Arjuna in hell)
or reaches wrong ends following right means(like
Yudhishthira in exile)Its like the Ying and Yang
Duryodhanarsquos envy for the Pandvarsquos Indraprastha and
Yudhishthirarsquos greed or addiction to a game of dice
and win more territory was the main cause of war
The envy can result in healthy competitiveness raising
oneself up by making the envious work harder for
rivalrsquos possessions or eternal sickness to pull the rival
downThe envy and greed are both presents even in
the
modern day world the failure
of communism was caused by
envy among citizens while the
capitalist system is stranded by greed The aim of so-
ciety should not be to suppress these feelings among
its citizens but to channelize them productively Envy
is the vice of socialism Greed is the evil of capital-
ism
Dharma is not justice Its difference between Retribu-
tive Justice and forgiveness While a nation with
stronger legal laws can prefer justice over peace the
newly created or war-torn nations with weaker legal
laws should prefer to restore peace and harmony in
society rather than emphasizing justice
Beware You are in for a scare
- Ayush Lonakadi IX-C
I had returned home late but after reaching home I had
wished I had not reached home that day There was no
electricity which just made it creepier When I
reached my room my exhaustion made me forget that
I was famished I lay on the bed scrolling down pic-
tures I had recently clicked I relived happy moments
but someone out there wasnrsquot happy to see me happy
and I noticed a photograph in my phone which be-
mused me ndash not mentioning how frightened I had be-
come
The picture waswashow can I explain The back-
ground was of my house In the photoI was
sleeping Butbut how could that have been possi-
ble I lived alone there was no one to click my photo
while I was sleeping I was petrified with my eyes
wide open and my whole body was horror-struck
Then all the unwanted noises came into focus ndash the
noises from outside noises of something creaking and
the wind forcefully blowing through the thin slit of the
window eerily
I was panic-stricken I
quickly switched my
phone off and kept it on
the table beside and did
not bother about changing my clothes and covered my
face with a blanket and hugged it tightly I could not
even think of sleeping Every second the clock ticked
I hugged the blanket harder My face and chest were
drenched in sweat I felt some supernatural move-
ments around me something trying to reach out to
me
By then I was praying to God to take me away from
that place I was ready to die Then something hap-
pened and I became frantic from tip to toe lsquoIt is Tues-
day todayrsquo The virtual assistant of my phone said but
I clearly remembered that I had switched off my
phone Who asked the question It was this trauma
that I couldnrsquot bear and today I am here telling you
this story after turning into a roaming soul Look to
your right I am right beside you

Travelling Aaryan Aggarwal IX - B
Travelling is an experience It doesnrsquot matter where
you travel Every place is great in its own ways You
could go to a culturally rich yet underdeveloped place
or you could go to an advanced metropolitan place
You could travel slow paced or you could be adven-
turous and go off the beaten path You could go to the
beach you could go to a museum It wonrsquot matter as
wherever you go you will always get a new and
different experience The experiences will open your
mind to a whole new world and culture which will
change your understanding and preconceived notions
about that place You will also get an opportunity to
detoxify yourself from social media Thus I believe
that travelling is more than just a hobby and can
change your entire thought process and state of
mind
Wallflower
- Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
She lived under a rock
More by force than by will
She lived there so long
She had nothing to fight with
All these people pushing her down
Her feeble frame could fight no long
She vowed to never stop the struggle
Until she had on her temples the crown
Declaring to the world her change
after years bygone
From being the young shy girl they saw
But all this struggle slowly had her crumbling
As she withered her dreams fading
Cause promises are sometimes left undone
When fate decides to yield a gun
And the world never saw the light
Of a wallflower wishing to shine so bright
Being Myself -Nidhi Mishra VIII-G
I did never lie to myself
Never strived to be someone else
And so I never shy
To look myself straight in the eye
I did never hide myself
And lavish a priceless gift
Having lsquolifersquo as its spell
Being myself Irsquoll uplift
Life is too short
Donrsquot be someone else
A onetime offer we have got
Even more precious than a thousand jewels

Women Empowerment - Devangi Dongre VII-B
The abilities of women in making decisions educa-
tion and profession have been largely suppressed
since ages considering them inferior to men The sit-
uation is worst in underdeveloped and developing na-
tions where women in a family are not allowed to
take financial decisions or decide on matters regard-
ing their own educationWith such state of affairs it
would be a fallacy to dream about the goals of sus-
tainable development and gender equality There is an
instant need to take measures to lift the social
personal and professional
status of women bringing
them shoulder to shoulder
with men These particular
measures constitute a pro-
cess which is known as ldquoWomen Empowermentrdquo
Providing better education and employment opportu-
nities to women ensuring their better health provid-
ing justice and ensuring professional equivalence are
the few methods of women empowerment

- Aaryan Aggarwal IX-B
He looked from afar at his towering creation A re-
mote island in the Pacific Ocean seemed like a great
refuge after what had been happening on the Earth
He chose secrecy as his mission had raised many eye-
brows The plan was simple lsquoEscape and start overrsquo
Right now Moon seemed to be the most viable option
in terms of survival The research had been done
Moon was habitable So close to our abode our cos-
mic neighbor the Moon must exist for a reason It-
will not just be a secondary habitat but also be a step-
ping stone for further progress
His meticulously crafted plan was now just minutes
away from execution A team of four explorers would
first leave Earth and explore the Moon to test his hy-
pothesis Once a temporary col-
ony using genetically engi-
neered pods containing human
embryos is set up they would
further analyze the surroundings and find ways to
make it more habitable The lesser gravitational pull
which allowed for a comparatively lower escape ve-
locity made it easier to transport resources from the
Earth or the ISS Sure it would be difficult at first
Earth is unmatched but he knew it was for the greater
good of mankind It would mean more opportunities
and help us understand our place in this universe
Right now we have confined ourselves in a box and
this is the only way to leave it and unleash the won-
ders of the universe In front of his eyes it flew never
to come back

Make the Choice
-Nidhi Mishra VIII-G

Irsquom steady upon the decision
About which Irsquoll never disclaim
Accepting the outcome never blame
To impulse refer those achieves
Itrsquos your resolve donrsquot quit
There wasnrsquot any lose that grieves
There was just a lesson in it

In the decision of mine
I possess optimism in myself
And so I believe everything

Though it may be tough
To perceive ones way to success
A dose of victory isnrsquot enough

Television Pros and Cons
- Soumya Sheth
What do most of the people do these days to entertain
themselvesEveryone likes to switch ON their televi-
sion sets which is one of the exceptional inventions of
science When our Dads come home tired after office
the first thing they would like to do is switch On the
TV and relax while watching it from his sofa seat
This is because while watching different things that
are broadcasted on TV we forget our worries and re-
grets of the day
However like every good and popular inventions tel-
evision also has its set of some worrying habits that
people get hitched to For example sometimes kids
watch it for extensive time thereby affecting their
studies This is one of the most worrying habit for par-
ents and we should know that ignoring studies is not
good for our future and studying is as much important
for us at this tender age more than anything elseItrsquos
true that television can bring us the knowledge from
across the world We can see different parts of the
world virtually sitting at the same place But we
should know how
we can use this
incredible inven-
tion of science in
the right and bene-
ficial way for us Now-a-days Smart TVs have be-
come even more popular We can even use internet on
those TVs Use Google to search for answers we donrsquot
know use YouTube to understand how things are
made or get our doubts cleared and much much more
To summarize it I would like to urge all my fellow
students to use this precious invention of science in a
way that will benefit you to gain constructive
knowledge and avoid destructive knowledge We
should know that television is not the world but only a
small component of this world Please know that there
are other things in life which we should enjoy too
along with giving utmost importance to our studies

The night before the final examination
-Marisha Nath VIII- C
The night before the final examination appears to all
examinees as the night before the Battle of Waterloo
might have appeared to Napoleon or the Duke of Wel-
lington Our system of education being what it is we
examinees are bound to be anxious about the nature of
the nature of the questions we will have to answer
next day Even an earnest student who has done all
that needs be done by way of nervousness uncertainty
and suspense on the night before the examination The
morning of the examination finds them prostate with
nervous disorder
But this is one side the picture There are students
who may be described as soldiers of fortune They are
daredevil youngsters who do not take their examina-
tions seriously But their lack of preparation is more
than made up for by the short cuts or bazar notes they
have provided themselves with Even on the night
before the examina-
tion they would be
going about their
daily rounds They
may be found in the parks cafes and restaurants talk-
ing about tips ndashtalking glibly and confidently about
what questions are sure to come The morning of the
examination finds them as cheerful as they were on
the night before
What is needed most is self-confidence and a cool
head True we do not remember all that we have read
when we go to the Examination Hall This does not
mean that we have forgotten them Many things re-
main in the sub ndashconscious region They jump into
consciousness when we face the questions and seri-
ously think of the answers Often such answers score
more marks than prepared ones
Elegance
-Prajna VIII-D
Elegant you be for the universe to learn your versatility
Brighter you shine the orb will know your sustenance
The stars moons and clouds let know your dignity
Apparently it seems your flawless abundance
The ideal triumph mustnrsquot be exaggerated

Elegant you be for the universe to learn your versatility
How can you be silent if you donrsquot know your efficiency
One of the values to become successful is simplicity
Through elegance letrsquos spread positivist

Once I had been to the Chocolate Land
Chocolate all around to the reach of my hand
Toffees candies lollies and bars
In my mouth a crunchy munchy war
White dark nutty and sweet
Just like a dreamy treat
Colourful wrapper shiny and bright
Which one to choose which would be right
Houses made of chocolates and doors made of bars
And out stood there a chocolate car
Soon after it was 6 oclock
And could hear the doorrsquos knock
I woke up in a hurry
Just to realise that it was a dream

The ant and the elephant
- SOUMEN RAO IV-E
Once upon a time in a forest there lived an ant and an
elephant The elephant was the biggest among all the
elephants So he was very proud of himself and used
to criticize everyone and the ant which was the tiniest
among them was very happy and cheerful It used to
help everyone I its own way
All the animals in the forest used to complain about
the egoistic elephant So one day when the ant saw the
elephant walking towards it it immediately thought of
a plan As soon as the elephant came near the ant
said ldquoHello My friendrdquo but the elephant replied rude-
ly saying ldquoYou tiny
ant Get off my way
otherwise yoursquoll get
crushed to deathrdquo
Hearing this ant
challenged the elephant sayingrdquo My big friend I can
make you cryrdquo The ant quickly climbed onto the trunk
of the elephant and ran towards its earit went inside
the ear and started biting the elephants ear The ele-
phant tried to flap its ears but in vain After a few
minutes tears started rolling down its eyes It cried
ldquoPlease come out of my ear I canrsquot bear the painrdquo As
soon as the ant came out the elephant apologized for
its mistake and didnrsquot tease any animals from that day
Grandparents
-Aditya Patil VIII-E
The best place in vacation
A heaven like destination
Their love for us is endless
All their sacrifices are worthless
Great is their surrounding divinity
In front of our ordinary identity
To your grandparents never be rude
Because they are your
coolest dude
They yell at our parents
when we are shouted
With generosity and be-
nevolence they are bounded
Be sure to always meet your grandparents once in a
while and enhance yourself by their presence

Water Conservation
- Paarth Bhagat VII-J
Water is life If there was no water there would be no
life Hence water is the precious gift of God to mother
Earth We cannot imagine our lives without water
We human beings are made up of water it is the only
transportation medium that carries the food molecules
and oxygen to the cells of every body parts to help the
blood It signifies that water is the most essential in-
gredient to the functioning of life of every organism
So you see living this wonderful life is impossible
without water
Water is the force behind all the industry agriculture
manufacturing and trade and commerce All forms of
energy generation is done using water Be it hydroe-
lectrically projects or thermal power plant or nuclear
power plant water is
the key ingredient in
all of them There
would be no power
without water No
water no life
So it is our responsibility to conserve this life nectar
It is possible only through by changing our outlook
towards this wonderful natural resource We must en-
sure there is no pollution of water bodies by dumping
any waste such as sewage effluents and other toxic
substances We must also ensure there is no emission
of green-house gases into the atmosphere The people
and the government must ensure installation of efflu-
ents and smoke treatment plants at industrial garbage
and sewage units

The kind Fairies -Aditys Patil VIII-E
This story starts with two beautiful babies in a king-
dom called fairyland The babies were very pretty
Their names were Ovi and Riddhi They were growing
pretty well As they grew they became more and
more pretty Over and over they were also fairies and
within 5 years they became young girls Their mother
told them to go to school The girls askedwhere are
the schools There are no schools here Mother said
dont worry you will go to the planet Earth On the
planet Earth there is a very good school named New
Horizon Public School and the short form is nhps We
said ok On the first day of our school we were very
afraid but after a few days we
became more smart than the
others We were getting a lot of
prizes which we shared with
eveyone in the school This
made us and others happy One day We became the
princess of fairyland Our wings were like a rainbow
We were twins and had very long hairs Now I end
my story with a beautiful quote
ALWAYS HELP EACH OTHER LIKE THE
FARIES BECAUSE HELPING PEOPLE IS THE
PATH TO GOD
The Day Irsquoll Never Forget - Saranya Sarangi VII -
It was a day of love and affection
There was no visible sign of caution
But something unfortunate was going to happen
Nobody knew where and when
There was a blast at half past three
In a beauty land called Paradise On Earth
A complete silence and pity hadnrsquot the thee
Perished laid the martyrs
Whom our motherland gave birth
I still remember that scaring sight
The scattered limbs I couldnrsquot see
My heart got filled with grief and fright
No Indian could glee
Terribly writhing the soldiers were seen
Some families languished and some
were crying
So loyal to their country they had been
None of their families were mollifying
Whatever homage to our martyrs we pay
Tiny before their they lay
Salute to their tribute to motherland
To protect us they always walked hand in hand
Little Birdie - Marisha Nath VIII-C
I am a little birdie in the sky
With two wings to fly
I never disturb you
I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom
O human Then why do you steal my FREEDOM
Binding me alone in the cage makes me sad
Donrsquot you know caging a bird is bad
Looking at the sky
I wish I could fly
I never disturb you
I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom
O human Then why do you steal my
FREEDOM

Summers in India - Saranya Sarangi VIII
A hot season beginning from April till May is what we
call summer And thatrsquos the basic rule in India But
thatrsquos not something through which we can define
summers in our country India The sun shining high
above the head increasing the heat and this scorching
heat is something very unique about summers in India
Those ice-lolly stalls roaming down the streets tin-
kling their tiny bells is something special one will nev-
er find in any other country Many people love this
season
Especially the children as they get to eat ice-creams
Many people even donrsquot As they feel that this season
can only make a person dehydrated exhausted and irri-
tated Summer as we think as an unfruitful season is
contrast in reality Schools conduct summer camps
during vacation where stu-
dents can join different aca-
demic and co-curricular
courses to improve them-
selves Many children even spend time with their fami-
lies
Often families plan trips to different places as they get
a very long vacation during this season But now-a-
days due to increasing heat these pleasant summers
are becoming unbearable Every just sweat and sweat
We get a lethargic feeling not ready to do any work
Due to this heat we continually keep the ACs on which
consume a lot of electricity creating trouble for our
mother Earth and us Gradually that charm of the
unique kind of summers will be lost if precautions are
not taken We must really hope and work hard to bring
back our lovely lsquoSummers in Indiarsquo
Exams are good or bad
- Nupoor Teli VIIIndashI
In my humble opinionexams are apressure on the stu-
dents They are forced to study and score good
markswhich can lead to frustration An environmentof
competitivenessof standing first is created for which
students keep on studying day and night without any
recreation It is good to studybut not just for the sake
of gaining marks
Why do we study What is the main intention behind
education Seeking intersresting and fascinating
knowledge as well as facts about the world But now-a
-daysthe main reason for studying is gaining marks If
there are no marksno career andno success This is the
mindset of 70 people of the worldespecially parents
They pressurize their children so much that they get
depressed or sometimes attempt suicide as well
Every two months an exam is conducted Moreo-
verthere are projectssubject-enrichment activi-
tieschapter test sfter every topicnotebookfile submis
sion etcAnd as acherry on top
of the cakewe have the semes-
ter exams of eighty marks as
well What all will the students
do And even if any extra-
curricular activities are being learntthen more extra
studies Just studystudy and study
Why so much of tension on the children Under this
tension only they start cheating As time passes cheat-
ing becomes a habit of their life
I fell that exams should be conducted once a term in
order to evaluate whether the students are clear with
the concepts or notThey shouldnt be pressurized for
their marksbut should be made understand their mis-
takes Let them choose their own career options on
their own Help them knowwhat they like to study and
what they want to do in their life So dont pressurize
students for what they dont likeand encourage them in
what they do After allthey are only the Rising stars of
the country

Life is magical - Piyush Sahoo VII-H
A new day or a new night
Everything in life seems bright
A new morning or a new evening
Life is full of happening
A life is just like a kite
It may disappear in a sight
Life moves from baby to old
Make your life challenging and bold
Enjoy life the fullest
Never accept less than best
Unlikely life comes to an end
But remember never to bend
Happy sadness victory and loss
Accept it the way it comes
Life can be at times tragical
But make it the most beautiful
Life is magicalhellip
Life is so magicalhellip
Humility -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
Humility is having a heart to treat others with respect
and love Considering people worthy of your love
time and efforts regardless of who they are or what
they have done A person is truly humble when they
are willing to work hard for others expecting nothing
in return
Humility has the power to change a personrsquos perspec-
tive towards life It can make a difference in the way a
person is looked upon by others Doing an act of hum-
bleness can make a personrsquos day Humility is about
not having an ego or considering things below your
dignity or considering yourself greater than others
People often confuse humility with self-respect They
canrsquot make out the difference between being useful to
others and being used by others
It takes courage to be humble
because in the era in which we
live humility is looked upon as
weakness People assume yoursquore not strong enough to
stand up for yourself They think you surrender in-
stead of protesting They will despise and scorn you
but they donrsquot know that you take pleasure in what
you do because they havenrsquot experienced that kind of
joy
So if you do have humility donrsquot draw back from it
because of what others think Whatever you are doing
is for the good of others and you have no need to be
ashamed of that Humbleness will spread from person
to person Who knows maybe your one act of humili-
ty will spread on to help a person in need So be brave
be humble
Mom -Tanvi Sawant VII-C

Oh mom yoursquore the candle that showed the way in the
dark
My dear mom you made my life spark

I am the EARTH - Deepashikha P VII F
Hello I am the Earth
For me I am the sweetest heart
I provide you with lots of stuff
With food and the mangoes that you love
I give you water soil and Sun
I am special as I am just one
But the humans living on me
Are making me dirty
They are cutting all the trees
And killing all the species helliphellip
They filling me with smoke and death
They are killing themselves
with lack of breath
I am the Earth
I am your mother
Make me the best by pol-
luting me less and less
And preventing my green dress
You can save water
you plant a tree
Make a better home for you on me
Recycle things donrsquot throw them awayhellip
MAKE EVERY DAY AN EARTH

OUR FUTURE EARTH - Hiya Purswani VIII-B
We all know the present condition of our environment
around us Inspite of advanced and modern technolo-
gy we humans are still not able to find a solution
Early humans neither they had much technology nor
they had enough intelligence but still in the early ages
the environment was clean making it the reason for
the increasing life span of humans Its a shocking
news to know that the amount of plastic bottles pro-
duced now may lead to increase in plastic pollution
and cause several death Its a great opportunity to be
as a human in this beautiful earth and so its our re-
sponsibility to make it clean In monsoon people cut
down trees to prevent accidents to occur but do we
plant trees in summer to prevent more global warm-
ing We can prevent bad things to happen but not can-
not take that much effort for good things to spread
Have you ever wondered while seeing a tap open how
many taps are left open at the same time in the whole
world It might sound unbelievable there can be a
World War III on water land and fresh air The way
we are thinking about the wastage of water may lead
us to a massive pain Itrsquos truly said by Warren Buffet
sometimes to buy things we need we have to sell
things we do not need This happens in the case of
lacking of intelligence We say every scholar is a true
genius but in my
opinion a person is
genius if he has the
ability to save and
change things in his
own way We all have the ability to save this earth
but our thoughts our ego and our greediness is stop-
ping us to think in a better way Everyone has a good
and a bad side in his life What matters is the part we
choose to act upon This is an excellent thought said
by Sirius Black in the movie Harry Potter Itrsquos time to
bring a change We always have time to do good
things all we need is hope Spreading awareness is the
best idea to bring a change If everyone stops thinking
about their economical needs and start contributing
towards the environment by planting more trees cer-
tainly there will be a beneficial change in this world
Neither do we think about the future nor care about
the present Why not be an optimist and think in a
positive way of life Our studies our needs our
knowledge will not help us in any way if we donʼt
change Its not that easy to plant a tree and care for it a
whole year if we only plant it with all our love nature
is certainly going to care for it Lastly I would like to
end with a quoterdquo Come forth in the light of things
nature will be your teacher
The Small Hours Pranjal Anil Chavan V-C
No more my little song Come back
And now of nights I lay my head on down
to watch the black
And wait the unfailing gray
Oh Sad are winter nights and slow
And sad is a song thatrsquos dumb
And sad it is to lie I know
Another dawn will come

Floods and Destruction
- Nirvi Soni IV-H
India faces occurrence of floods each year in some
parts of Assam during the rainy season Water of river
Brahmaputra rises and enters into many villages
causing great destruction Floods are unavoidable but
we need to take precautions in the following ways by
reducing mining activities building dams growing
more trees etc During floods the weather becomes
wet and gloomy Trees and plants get uprooted This
way floods cause great de-
struction to both life and
property It also becomes dif-
ficult to travel from place to
place Many people are left
homeless The rain water should be harvested and
stored in large storage tanks The harvested rainwater
can be used for washing clothes and cleaning By us-
ing rain water in our daily life we can preserve water
resources
Good Morning Everyone -Vyomi ThakkarVI - H
Come with me wersquoll have some fun
Wersquoll go on a walk
Donrsquot worry will have a great talk
Roaming around the ground
With beautiful birdrsquos sound
We donrsquot know if anything will be found
Wersquoll surely find the crown
Up on the chilled mountain
We saw a beautiful fountain
Surrounded by a beautiful castle
Decorated with the colourful tassel
Just be quiet and keen
Soon you will be the queen
Think before you speak
-Shravya Atreya IX-D
Think before you speak
There are hearts you must please
Think before you speak
You canrsquot undo the harm done after you squeak
Think before you speak
You might have done greater harm than you might
think
Think before you speak
There are still places left for you
to seek
Think before you speak
There is a long way to go before
you sleep
Think before you speak
There are hearts you must
please
Sunrise -Anuradha Singh VII-H
Over the glimmering purple sea
Under the golden sun rise

staring at his own in the
enamelled sea
Everything is fine
With fading stars and rising light

GLOBAL WARMING - Adhyant Singh VII-F
Global warming refers to the steady rise in the Earthrsquos mean temperature The effect of global
warming had come into sight when polar ice caps started melting this phenomena is called ICE ndash
ALBEDO the ice caps melt faster due to the rise in the temperature This sudden rise in the temperature near
the poles began in 1999 The polar ice caps in Antarctica melt at the rate of 400000000000 tons per year ac-
cording to some scientists it would approximately take 5000 years to melt the total ice on earth In 2013 Inter-
governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) stated that the main cause of Global warming is human inter-
vention like emission of Green house gases like Carbon-Di-Oxide nitrous oxide and methane
These gases trap the heat which is reflected by the Earthrsquos surface thus increasing the temperature and also
destroying the ozone layer which prevents the ultraviolet rays of the sun from reaching the earthrsquos surface Al-
so burning fossil fuel contributes to the problem Effects of global warming have also led to the increase in the
sea level and extreme weather like heat waves and change in the regional pattern of precipitation and the ex-
pansion of desserts A concentrated and focused effort by the entire humanity can curb down the impact of
Global warming and also prevent it Planting more trees to control the amount of carbon-di-oxide eliminating
the use of chlorofluorocarbon or (CFCrsquoS) are a few steps All the countries have signed up with the United Na-
tions Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to prevent the doomsday of Earth So to prevent
earthrsquos doomsday we all must work together
Itrsquos not too late there is still timehellipBefore the earth ends and we whinehellipSo keep on marching and planting
greens To end Global Warming and Make our planet greenhellip
What will happen without Instagram

Instagram Instagram Instagram
I was hearing it from everyone
I asked who was the inventor
Nobody knew the answer to my question
Mobiles Mobiles Mobiles
I was able to see them everywhere
I asked who was the inventor
Again nobody was aware
I wondered why was it like so
Why is it they donrsquot know
There was one time we were
engrossed in books
Now we care more about our looks
Instagram wonrsquot give you a job
You will have to study and top
Your fellow followers wonrsquot help either
If you donrsquot have a job no one will bother
I am a tree

I give you fruits
I give you medicine
I give you wood
I need some sunlight
And some fresh air
I need some water
And your loving care

The Night - Matangi Rajesh VII-D
Its the night
The moon is white
When we switch off the light
What a beautiful sight
After this comes the sun bright
There is no more artificial light
This is the time to start your diet
To go for a run wearing tights
Then comes the evening when
you have snacks light
And fly a big colorful kite
or include your sibling in a pillow fight
Again comes the night
A moon which is white
We switch off the light
A beautiful sight

Launch of ISROrsquos Fat Boyrsquo
31 satellites in a single flight
Sending another communication satellite in the space
In 2009 Indians maiden mission to the moon Chandrayaan- 1 brought back the first clinching evidence of the
presence of water on the arched lunar surface In more down to the Earth missions Indian satellites are also
helping locate underground water aquifers for some of the poorest and marginal people of India In a way
Indiarsquos space technology is helping everyone

Hyperloop -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
Human inventions have baffled the world They are
innumerable ranging from revolutionizing
smartphones to not-so-breathtaking ice cream cones
but they play a role in our life just the same The
things which are commonplace to us now were unbe-
knownst to people once upon a time For the people of
the 19th century the car was a thing of the future until
in 1885 Karl Benz ran his first car on the road Then
for centuries people took the prospect of of flying like
the birds as only a wild possibility which was made
possible in 1903 when the Wright Brothers flew the
first plane
What is the thing of the future for us Well we are the
future modifying and bettering the things that have
been made and crating stuff that we didnt even dare
to imagine about The Hyperloop fulfills both aspects
of the definition a very advanced model of our faith-
ful train and yet a brand new idea to scale greater
heights The Hyperloop is an ideal mode of efficient
transport Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane
with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing
speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt have to
ace the two types of friction that every other vehicle
has to face Air resistance and ground friction The
pods of the Hyperloop are propelled through a depres-
surized tub Since it is almost vacuum very little air
resistance can be offered inside the tube Due to this
the energy required to travel is also very less The Hy-
perloops unique technology uses magnetic levitation
to guide and lift the pods of the rail Since the pod is
not in contact with the ground there is no friction act-
ing on itThe first Hyperloop ndash virgin Hyperloop one
is set to run with passengers as early as 2021 and is
created by SpaceX and Tesla
The mastermind behind the Hyperloop is Elon Musk
who first published a 58 page white-paper on the web-
site of his company-Space X It was available to all
and was titled Hyperloop alpha The Hyperloop may
be the pioneer of a whole new era of transportation
traveling a distance which would otherwise take 12
hours in just I hour it has crossed all known bounda-
ries and created higher limits for us to reach and reach
we must for when time is money and money is time
an option that saves both needs to be used
Exams are good or bad -Nupoor Teli VIII
In my humble opinion exams are pressure on the stu-
dents They are forced to study and score good marks
which can lead to frustration An environment of com-
petitiveness of standing first is created for which stu-
dents keep on studying day and night without any rec-
reation It is good to study but not just for the sake of
gaining marks
Why do we study What is the main intention behind
education Seeking interesting and fascinating
knowledge as well as facts about the world But now-a
-days the main reason for studying is gaining marks
If there are no marks no career and no success This
is the mindset of 70 people of the world especially
parents They pressurize their children so much that
they get depressed or sometimes attempt suicide as
wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-
ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities
chapter test after every topic notebookfile submis-
sion etc And as cherry on top of the cake we have the
semester exams of eighty marks as well What all will
the students do And even if any extra-curricular ac-
tivities are being learnt then more extra studies Just
study study and study
Why so much of tension on the children Under this
tension only they start cheating As time passes cheat-
ing becomes a habit of their lifeI fell that exams
should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate
whether the students are clear with the concepts or
not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but
should be made understand their mistakes Let them
choose their own career options on their own Help
them know what they like to study and what they want
to do in their life So dont pressurize students for
what they dont like and encourage them in what they
do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the
country

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B
Life is all about interactions You meet people and
you interact You observe them consciously or sub-
consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us
more than we even realise Some people leave a last-
ing impression on us and entirely change the course of
life for better or for worse Some people influence us
help us go further and make all the difference
I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-
tial people They have taken care of me ever since I
came into this world They are the ones who wish the
best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-
cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel
no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-
come a part of my personality They are the ones who
helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me
to be better
When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are
the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-
takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique
learning experience It has made me realise how eve-
rything they do has a reason They are the ones who
have taught me the importance of the little things in
life They are the ones who have helped me recognize
and follow my passion The very thought of them not
being a part of my life is scary to the least as without
them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am
today and whatever I have achieved is all because of
them and I am very grateful of that
Eyesight
-Aditi Shenoy VIII-F
The tired little girl went to bed
Recollecting the days bygone
Seeing them in her dreams
As the day she was born
Trying to see the world
With her little eyes
But the sun with his brightness
Wouldnt let her catch the sights
The girl still eager
And curious to see the world around her
Again opened her eyes
But her vision was blurred
Still she did not lose hope
Which flowed through her blood
Encouraging and pushing her
To see the world further
Her heart beating fast
Her enthusiasm increasing
She slowly tried to see
With her eyes continuously blinking
Starting to lose hope
She was ready to give up
But curiosity got the upper hand
And pushed her forward
With her hope again rising
and strength in her eyesight
She is finally seeing the world
With wide open eyes

Conquering the space
-Marisha Nath VIII-C
ldquoThere is no failure in Science it is only continual
effort to conquer the unknown On the way even if we
face failure it rather adds more value to our effort for
our next journey to know the unknownrdquo
Chandrayan-2 Indiarsquos Moon Mission The dream of
entire India to land on moon and become the 4th Na-
tion in the world to put its flag on the soil of moon
after USSR USA amp China
ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launched
Chandrayan-2 on 22nd July 2019 from Bengaluru
(Satish Dhawan Space Center) under the command of
ISRO chief K Shivan It consists of ORBITER
LANDER amp Lunar Rover PRAGYAN Like Chandra-
yan-1(22nd Oct2008) it was Indiarsquos indigenous moon
mission
It touched the Moon Surface on Saturday early morn-
ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-
ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-
ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of
moon it lost contact with the ground station Because
of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be
monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m
(approx) away from its assigned location near
SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still
orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange
signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it
The ORBITER which will remain active for another
12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-
owed portion of the moon for the first time in history
with the help of its high-resolution camera
The entire Nation irrespective of their field of
knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front
of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of
VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true
Indians who always dream progress and development
of their motherland But our heart never accepts this
as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement
for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-
pose of our mission
But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at
this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring
country quoting this as a big failure on part of India
blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos
money on this
Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will
be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to
this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other
nations on such missions
Further I should say that India is not new in the field
of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-
TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975
It was named after famous scientist of ancient India
ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested
for the first time the HELIOCENTRIC THEORY
(Sun at the center and all planets revolve around the
Sun) of the Solar System much earlier than ready for
New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 57
COPERNICUS as believed in the western world
Other countries might have moon on their flags but
we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is
great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are
whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-
rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is
only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the
unknown and its continual application for the benefit
of the mankind)rdquo
Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by
various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-
PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-
cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958
onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as
46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was
attempted out of which only 21 was successful
Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-
tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the
overall attempts conducted by other Nations
USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-
NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was
planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January
SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR
successfully on moon
NASA after many attempts was successful to send
first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th
July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk
on moon
Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-
clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-
SION MANGAL for our next moon mission

My dream House
-Harshith Nair IX-B
Voila I have shifted to my new house
Away from those lizards and that cunning mouse
That was once a basic and simple house
Now canrsquot get over the whoaas and wowws
Ancient doors and artefacts with a palatial tinge
Enter and you would feel yoursquove got wings
Vintage artefacts and interiors add to the glam
quotient
A gramophone an antique
telephone that take you to an
era thatrsquos ancient
To me and my brotherrsquos surprise therersquos an excit-
ing bunk bed
Now who sleeps on the top therersquos gonna be a
bloodshed
I hate boasting but this onersquos the icing on the
cake
Let me tell you friends this was a dream all
fake
Friendship
-Divya Johnson VIII ndash I
Friendship has no form
sometimes it makes us feel secure and warm
Sometimes leaves us cold and forlorn
and sometimes gives us the power to go on
We mistake it often for something materializing
but itrsquos free and artistic
It is hard to catch
no other virtue has its match
Indomitable Earth - Poorvi Sanu IX ndashG
Our global crisis has created a cure
No A treatment for what is in the store
New seasons simmer shorelines bore
Plastics not fake its sweet
Everlasting a love we adore
Are you sure
Intestinal hurdle artwork framed
Mammals fattened by unnatural floating
Wild material machine Unseen
Where does your waste ream
What can I do
It takes more than
one It takes society
Globally to do what
needs to be done
Our footprint is mas-
sive weighty
Join Mother Earth
On our journey here and abroad
Full of disbelief and open scorn
Itrsquos worth the attempt to help her adorn
To help her heal her sores prevent more welts

Travelling via train -Aditya Patil VIII-E
Travelling is a prominent and a fun-learning activity of
our life It introduces us to new people their culture
and enhances skills that are essential in our lives
Travelling gives a wonderful experience to the travel-
ers especially by train I am being so sight to write the
essay lsquocause guess what ldquoI AM TRAVELLING IN
THE BUMPY TRAINrdquo hearing the quarrels for seats
with the bumps of the train
Train to me is the most favourite mode of transport for
long journeys I am sure even others love travelling via
train inspite of the long journey and time But if its
with families or with bachelor friends therersquos no one
stopping them from being happy During travelling we
also get familiar to stops during the journey where
people get off and enter This introduces us to the cul-
ture of those regions
and thatrsquos what makes our
India famous and legend-
ary We also get to eat
those India-famous snacks
from all over India like lsquoShehgaon kachorirsquo lsquo Kol-
hapuri misalrsquo and I would stop here or else I know
your mouth is watering and you wanna eat this
This is what travelling is It increases our general
knowledge as we get across so many new things Trav-
elling by train is much more affordable than aero-
planes where we just have to sit and enjoy the luxury
Travelling will also introduce you to all kinds of peo-
ple like the innocent ones the fighters the caring ones
who surrender themselves for you and sometimes the
people you know So to enjoy these beautiful moments
of life travel once or twice a year to refresh your-
selves
Control Yourself - Suvan Lokhande IX-A
Controlling yourself is something great that you have
achieved in your whole life Controlling a particular
thing with which you get addicted is a big thing Dur-
ing puberty children get addicted to various bad things
such as food mobile TV or maybe food
ldquoControl Yourself Kidrdquo ldquoDone not more than
thisrdquo ldquoControlrdquo such types of sentences maybe
familiar to you which must be said by your mom dad
teachers and your elders But thatrsquos exactly true what
they say I know that itrsquos difficult to leave a particular
thing with which you get addicted But still if you
leave it certainly this can make an impact in your life
I mean to say that leave only bad things and not the
good things like reading or studying Believe it every-
thing is possible in this whole world If Neil Arm-
strong can go to moon then why cannot you leave your
bad habit Lets take an example a
boy who likes to eat a lot he may
like to eat Chinese Continental
Asian and whatever But you must
take care of your fitness too We can
eat whatever we want but in a limit
If you start practicing such good practices you can
surely be the one who has changed his whole life to a
certain life
And these changes can definitely make you proudAt
last my opinions may have some differences but eve-
ryday we get to learn something from our daily experi-
ences And I truly believe that if we make a decision
and start opting it in our daily life we can surely our-
selves make a change in our whole life At last I con-
vey that you need to control yourself and follow this
motto in your lifehelliphellipControl Yourself amp Be the
Change

Nature
- BHUMESH DADHWAL VIImdashC
The earth is full of surprises
Just look around yourself
It can be anywhere around you
Even somewhere in your bookshelf
The most surprising is nature
Itrsquos full of different stuff
It can be a human or thing or even a creature
We humans made strong big buildings
And thatrsquos what we think is great
But look deep in nature
You will find trees plants and Animals everywhere
Some may be mild And some may be wild
Mother nature provides us with our needs
And still we use it for our greeds
Letrsquos join hands together
To save this marvelous creation
For our next generation

Anger Management
- Sfurti Kumbhar IX-A
AngerhellipThe worst of emotions It causes a LOT of
problems Like damaged friendships separated fami-
lies to list a few The list is long But as many people
have tried and failed controlling anger can be impos-
sible at times when the little fuse in your brain blows
off Let us discuss controlling anger today
Basically anger management seems and sounds im-
possible But as it turns out it isnrsquot Itrsquos really simple
To be honest I am a cranky person Even the slightest
bit of annoying thing or the face of an irritating person
blows my fuse off So well yeah Irsquom trying to get it
under control Sort of
Impossible right Managing anger sounds easy You
can distract yourself from the situation Permanently
fix an imaginary meter in your brain which indicates
anger level My meter is always near 50-60 When I
say that Irsquom a cranky person you can see that I mean
it
As I was saying the meter Anytime you feel that the
meter is rising just find some ways to control it Like
the classic ldquodrink cool water to cool down your warm
headrdquo or breathe Listen to your fav music Or ask
yourself this simple question
ldquoIs getting angry at this person or screaming at them
going to improve my day in any way whatsoeverrdquo
If the answer is yes go ahead Scream all that you
want at the person and improve your day But if the
answer is no STOP yourself in time Maybe make
yourself an anger dice Or breathe in Out And may-
be the classic as mentioned above
Frankly these ways have helped me to reduce my
ldquofuse blowing offrdquo times since grade 4 Anger may be
one of the smartest issues but we are smarter
You are a masterpiece - Tisha Gangar VIII-A

With an end number of skills
Creativity is your strength
Keep safe till the end

Monsoon -Isha Bhanushali VIII
The most alluring part in monsoon season is the way
people tackle them Every where you scan people are
struggling back to reach their home back safely and it
indeed gives you a sense of achievement when you
reach home without getting drained by the gushing
water the automobiles blow on youWell my case is a
little bit different Every time I attempt not to step in-
side the puddle the next step will certainly be inside
it
It was raining heavily that day and unlike my usual
days it was a special one I got dispersed from my
classes by 600 and not aware about the conditions
outside I stepped outside expecting my van to pick
me up Suddenly there was gloomy all around and
there was silence everywhere (huh Because the light
went off) and to add insult to injury I got a call from
my Sir that the van will be com-
ing 1 hour late
I after a while made up my
mind I will set out and go on
my ownI took my umbrella and set out with my
friend The roads were all muddy and the water
reached up to my ankle The situation got testified as
it started raining heavily We all expected the rain to
stop after a while but it was adamant throwing its
tantrums on us All over the road there were vehicles
parked and there was no way to move
But not giving up we carried forward to reach our des-
tination After a long tiring journey of 1km (which
took us almost 1hr) we reached our home safely I had
a feeling of accomplishing a big feat that day
But the climax is here
I had to listen to my Moms scolding
Yes because I had stepped inside a big puddle
Soldier - Marisha Nath VIII-C

Man Woman and Equality Poorvi Sanu IX-G
Why are women considered inferior to men Why is
it so Even in the olden days gender inequality was
very common
Sati widows shravana shraddha managala gaur
akshaya tritiya child marriage karva chauthhellip
etcetera etcetera etceteraWhat do these words re-
mind you of Yep Thatrsquos right These are all systems
for women
These are sacrifices and systems that women perform
for their better halves So that their spouses have a
long and safe life But what do these spouses do in
return Discriminate these women Consider them
inferior I think that only about 15 of men give
equal opportunities and rights to women
This number is increasing no doubt but then this is a
slow processMen work approximately 6 ndash 8 hours a
day Women on the other hand work at least 16
hours a day Yet men get salary and women in some
cases donrsquot
To all the men and boys reading this I have a few
questions for youDo you have the guts to perform all
housework with 5 guests in the house Do you have
enough courage to change your sur-
name after marriage Do you have
the guts to leave your ancestral home
where you have lived for at least 23
years Are you ready to be dominated
by women More importantly are you ready to listen
to pungent words from your mother-in-law And of
course do you guys have courage to bear a child for 9
months and 9 days and give birth and nurture the ba-
by
Giving birth is simultaneous to fracturing 20 ndash 21
bones at once Did men know this And yet they con-
sider women weak They think that because wersquore
women we cannot thinkIf we cannot think who is
Marie Curie If we are weak who delivers kids
Women arenrsquot any different They are children of
gods They arenrsquot your personal secretaries they are
your partnersOnly a woman knows how much suffer-
ing women go through And yet women are discrimi-
nated daily
What women want is love and respect They work
hard for it they toil day and night and what they get
ishellipabsolutely nothing
Is this right
Submission to Peer Pressure -Akshat Mishra IX -G
ldquoHey Mohan When did you get this new iPhone-Xrdquo
we asked him in surprise as we knew the financial
condition of his family ldquoMy cousin gifted it to merdquo
quipped Mohan sheepishly All the boys resumed
playing but I knew there was something amissPeer
pressure is becoming increasingly inevitable amongst
teenagers One may argue that it is a part of human
nature It may be pivotal for a human being but its
darker side is certainly the more powerful one
People are easily succumbing to peer pressure without
realising its consequences Just to gain respect in
someonersquos eyes they are even ready to quarrel with
their parents and ward their attention from their nec-
essary activities A recent survey suggested that the
maximum people in a rave are a group of teenagers
The clutches of peer pressure are so strong that people
arenrsquot being able to listen even to their conscience
The youth mostly is just littering around the streets
smoking cigarettes boozing or becoming a victim to
social networks sites like Facebook or Instagram Hu-
man resource is the most valuable resource that we
have and the youth are supposed to replenish this re-
source not just to become egoists The are the future
of the planet but sadly they arenrsquot forging the path for
mankind that they are supposed to
Hopefully there is some resistance against this social
evil in modern days Such people have sworn to stay
adamant and not stray from the rightful path These
days of hope do believe in working for the greater
good and are spreading awareness and showing the
society that peer pressure is deleterious sort individual
growth and well being

ldquoFreedom of Press in Democracyrdquo
- Poorvi Sanu IX-G
A free press and a free judiciary are two very important
cornerstones of a democracy Especially in the modern
era of widely accessible news and innumerable infor-
mation at our fingertips freedom of press is highly valued
liberty that citizens should be aware of and know the rea-
son why it is given to us as Indians Freedom means those
people who state the liberty or right and privileged to
speak according to their will
Freedom is that opportunity which we should never avoid
and in all bad situations it gives us all right to handle the
problems in our own innovative and thoughtful way Press
and media are the vital way to express and speech some
views and opinions in a democratic country It is the me-
dium of expressing an opinion of the people It justifies
the individual right to speech and expression a coveted
right enshrined in the Indian constitution and the law of
other countries on the globe
The importance of freedom of press lies in the fact that
for most citizens the prospect of personal familiarity with
newsworthy events is unrealistic In seeking out news the
media therefore acts for the public in large it is the means
by which people receive free flow of information and ide-
as which is essential to intelligence self-governance that
is in turn democracy For a proper functioning of democ-
racy it is essential that
citizens are informed
about news from vari-
ous parts of the coun-
try and even abroad because only then can they form ra-
tional opinions A citizen surely cannot be expected per-
sonally to gather news to enable him or her to form such
opinions Hence the media plays an important role in a
democracy and serves as an agency of the people to gath-
er news for them
It is for this reason that freedom of press has been empha-
sised in all democratic countries while it was not permit-
ted in feudal or totalitarian regimes
In India the media have a great responsibility also to see
that the news they present is accurate and serve the inter-
est of the people If the media convey false news that may
harm the reputation of a person or a section of society it
may do a great damage since reputation is a valuable asset
for a person
Even if the media subsequently correct a statement the
damage done may be irreparable Hence the media should
take care to carefully investigate any news item before
carefully reporting it
I know of a case were the photograph of a High Court
judge who was known to be upright was shown on a TV
New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 22
channel along with that of a known criminal The alle-
gation against the judge was that he had acquired the
land not in any discretionary quota but in the open
market at the market priceAlso sometimes the media
present twisted or distorted news that may contain an
element of truth but also an element of untruth This
too should be avoided because a half-truth can be
more dangerous than a total lie The media should
avoid giving any slant to news and avoid sensational-
ism and yellow journalism Only then will they gain
the respect of the people and fulfil their true role in a
democracySome newspapers espouse the cause of
only one community
ldquoThey do not judge problems on their merits They
view problems from a communal angle Such newspa-
pers do disservice to the nation On the other hand
some responsible newspapers exercise great restraint
while reporting news about riots between two commu-
nities They never give the identity of the community
which started the riot If there are any casualties they
do not give a community-wise break up lest this
should trigger off a bigger riot
In India most of the newspapers are controlled by
business magnates Such newspapers therefore pro-
mote the interest of the capitalists by given tainted
news They pay no heed even to the genuine prob-
lems of the worker^ farmers artisans and other
weaker sections of the people
The press is the defender and the protector of the
rights and liberties of the people But it can per-
form this role only if it enjoys freedom in publish-
ing news views and reporting It can function ef-
fectively only in an open society where decisions are
made in a democratic manner The press should not be
scared of influential people The press should consider
it their duty to protect the right of the workers and oth-
er downtrodden sections of the people
While the press should enjoy freedom to perform its
role effectively it should not treat such freedom as a
licence to defame anybody It should not publish any
views or support any movement which violates our
Constitution or is against the territorial integrity and
unity of the country
To the conclusion As the worldrsquos largest democracy
India has a duty to ensure that the press has the duty to
disseminate information and express opinions without
excessive censorship Unfortunately in recent years
the right has been increasingly curbed This oppres-
sion of press is an alarming trend as it does not allow
for proper checks and balances on the government and
its activities The people of our country need to re-
member that in order to have a strong democracy they
need a strong and free press

Our Future Earth
- Hiya Purswani VIII B
We all know the present condition of our environment
around us Inspite of advanced and modern technolo-
gy we humans are still not able to find a solution
Early humans neither they had much technology nor
they had enough intelligence but still in the early ages
the environment was clean making it the reason for
the increasing life span of humans Its a shocking
news to know that the amount of plastic bottles pro-
duced now may lead to increase in plastic pollution
and cause several death
Its a great opportunity to be as a human in this beauti-
ful earth and so itrsquos our responsibility to make it
clean In monsoon people cut down trees to prevent
accidents to occur but do we plant trees in summer to
prevent more global warming We can prevent bad
things to happen but not cannot take that much efforts
for good things to spread Have you ever wondered
while seeing a tap open how many taps are left open
at the same time in the whole world It might sound
unbelievable there can be a World War III on water
land and fresh air The way we are thinking about the
wastage of water may lead us to a massive pain I trsquos
truly said by Warren Buffet sometimes to buy things
we need we have to sell things we do not need This
happens in the case of lacking of intelligence We say
every scholar is a true genius but in my opinion a per-
son is genius if he has the ability to save and change
things in his own way We all have the ability to save
this earth but our thoughts our ego and our greedi-
ness is stopping us to think in a better way rdquoEveryone
has a good and a bad side in his life What matters is
the part we choose to act upon rdquoThis is an excellent
thought said by Sirius Black in the movie Harry Pot-
ter Itrsquos time to bring a change
We always have time to do good things all we need is
hope Spreading awareness is the best idea to bring a
change If everyone stops thinking about their eco-
nomical needs and start contributing towards the envi-
ronment by planting more trees certainly there will be
a beneficial change in this world Neither do we think
about the future nor care about the present Why not
be an optimist and think in a positive way of life Our
studies our needs our knowledge will not help us in
any way if we donrsquot change Its not that easy to plant a
tree and care for it a whole year but if we only plant it
with all our love nature is certainly going to care for
it Lastly I would like to end with a quote Come
forth in the light of things nature will be your teach-
er
Endeavor
- Heet Shripal Kankariya VII-G
It is hard to recall the past
but good thoughts are forever
Remember the step you took
May it be stupid or clever
Though the time runs out
your hope should never
Dont lose ittry and endeavor
Do your best even if the conse-
quences make your work the worst
Try and try and make your work better
It is hard to recall the past
but good thoughts are forever
Remember the step you took maybe stupid or clever

The Aloof Humans - A curse to mother
earth - Vaijayanthimala Navneet VIII-J
With all the night strength and gust
Preserving nature is must
Mother Nature has been so lucrative
Letrsquos do something to save her
Something new and creativersquo
Let us get pollution under control
Before mother Earth weeps and implores
Let clean air sweep
Both high and deep
Let the tiny piece of land
Be clean tidy and neat
Let uncontaminated water be
So that everything doesnrsquot
end like the sea
Let the tree stand
lsquoCause it is more alluring than the seven colour band
Without being loquacious
Mother nature is indeed precious
The Little girl
- Bhumika Sharma VI-F
I found in a garage
Near the carriage
A tiny little baby girl
She had cute blue eyes
Which were very small in size
And had beautiful hair with a cute little curl
I wonder why she was there
And she came fromhellipwhere
I then asked a person passing on the road
If he knew the merciless who
kept her near the horses and
toads
The person replied ldquoWho cares
O Madamhellip
hellipFor a girl who is denied by her
dad and mum
I felt very sad and cried
But I saved her lest she died
Who will save many such girls
Imagine a world without these pearls
Treat them with respect and love
The Little Guest - Ashwathy Ganesh VI ndashD
It was rainy season
At home came a pigeon
It made its nest and was a pest
But there came another guest
Who shooed away the little pest
First there was nothing but a basket of twigs
And I watched it eating figs
When the thunder came with the rain
I got a bit scared
But it didnrsquot fly away
Because I took care
Soon there were three small
eggs
Which were taken care of by the guest
The bird is easy to guess
Because it doesnrsquot make a mess
With its red tail
It looked a bit frail
Between the plants green full full
Was the nest of the little Bulbul

The Art of Dharma as per Mahabharata
- Abhishek Singh [Teacher SrSecondary]
Dharma means the Duty or RighteousnessDharma is
subtle many times we are forced to take wrong
means for right means(and ends us like Arjuna in hell)
or reaches wrong ends following right means(like
Yudhishthira in exile)Its like the Ying and Yang
Duryodhanarsquos envy for the Pandvarsquos Indraprastha and
Yudhishthirarsquos greed or addiction to a game of dice
and win more territory was the main cause of war
The envy can result in healthy competitiveness raising
oneself up by making the envious work harder for
rivalrsquos possessions or eternal sickness to pull the rival
downThe envy and greed are both presents even in
the
modern day world the failure
of communism was caused by
envy among citizens while the
capitalist system is stranded by greed The aim of so-
ciety should not be to suppress these feelings among
its citizens but to channelize them productively Envy
is the vice of socialism Greed is the evil of capital-
ism
Dharma is not justice Its difference between Retribu-
tive Justice and forgiveness While a nation with
stronger legal laws can prefer justice over peace the
newly created or war-torn nations with weaker legal
laws should prefer to restore peace and harmony in
society rather than emphasizing justice
Beware You are in for a scare
- Ayush Lonakadi IX-C
I had returned home late but after reaching home I had
wished I had not reached home that day There was no
electricity which just made it creepier When I
reached my room my exhaustion made me forget that
I was famished I lay on the bed scrolling down pic-
tures I had recently clicked I relived happy moments
but someone out there wasnrsquot happy to see me happy
and I noticed a photograph in my phone which be-
mused me ndash not mentioning how frightened I had be-
come
The picture waswashow can I explain The back-
ground was of my house In the photoI was
sleeping Butbut how could that have been possi-
ble I lived alone there was no one to click my photo
while I was sleeping I was petrified with my eyes
wide open and my whole body was horror-struck
Then all the unwanted noises came into focus ndash the
noises from outside noises of something creaking and
the wind forcefully blowing through the thin slit of the
window eerily
I was panic-stricken I
quickly switched my
phone off and kept it on
the table beside and did
not bother about changing my clothes and covered my
face with a blanket and hugged it tightly I could not
even think of sleeping Every second the clock ticked
I hugged the blanket harder My face and chest were
drenched in sweat I felt some supernatural move-
ments around me something trying to reach out to
me
By then I was praying to God to take me away from
that place I was ready to die Then something hap-
pened and I became frantic from tip to toe lsquoIt is Tues-
day todayrsquo The virtual assistant of my phone said but
I clearly remembered that I had switched off my
phone Who asked the question It was this trauma
that I couldnrsquot bear and today I am here telling you
this story after turning into a roaming soul Look to
your right I am right beside you

Travelling Aaryan Aggarwal IX - B
Travelling is an experience It doesnrsquot matter where
you travel Every place is great in its own ways You
could go to a culturally rich yet underdeveloped place
or you could go to an advanced metropolitan place
You could travel slow paced or you could be adven-
turous and go off the beaten path You could go to the
beach you could go to a museum It wonrsquot matter as
wherever you go you will always get a new and
different experience The experiences will open your
mind to a whole new world and culture which will
change your understanding and preconceived notions
about that place You will also get an opportunity to
detoxify yourself from social media Thus I believe
that travelling is more than just a hobby and can
change your entire thought process and state of
mind
Wallflower
- Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
She lived under a rock
More by force than by will
She lived there so long
She had nothing to fight with
All these people pushing her down
Her feeble frame could fight no long
She vowed to never stop the struggle
Until she had on her temples the crown
Declaring to the world her change
after years bygone
From being the young shy girl they saw
But all this struggle slowly had her crumbling
As she withered her dreams fading
Cause promises are sometimes left undone
When fate decides to yield a gun
And the world never saw the light
Of a wallflower wishing to shine so bright
Being Myself -Nidhi Mishra VIII-G
I did never lie to myself
Never strived to be someone else
And so I never shy
To look myself straight in the eye
I did never hide myself
And lavish a priceless gift
Having lsquolifersquo as its spell
Being myself Irsquoll uplift
Life is too short
Donrsquot be someone else
A onetime offer we have got
Even more precious than a thousand jewels

Women Empowerment - Devangi Dongre VII-B
The abilities of women in making decisions educa-
tion and profession have been largely suppressed
since ages considering them inferior to men The sit-
uation is worst in underdeveloped and developing na-
tions where women in a family are not allowed to
take financial decisions or decide on matters regard-
ing their own educationWith such state of affairs it
would be a fallacy to dream about the goals of sus-
tainable development and gender equality There is an
instant need to take measures to lift the social
personal and professional
status of women bringing
them shoulder to shoulder
with men These particular
measures constitute a pro-
cess which is known as ldquoWomen Empowermentrdquo
Providing better education and employment opportu-
nities to women ensuring their better health provid-
ing justice and ensuring professional equivalence are
the few methods of women empowerment

He looked from afar at his towering creation A re-
mote island in the Pacific Ocean seemed like a great
refuge after what had been happening on the Earth
He chose secrecy as his mission had raised many eye-
brows The plan was simple lsquoEscape and start overrsquo
Right now Moon seemed to be the most viable option
in terms of survival The research had been done
Moon was habitable So close to our abode our cos-
mic neighbor the Moon must exist for a reason It-
will not just be a secondary habitat but also be a step-
ping stone for further progress
His meticulously crafted plan was now just minutes
away from execution A team of four explorers would
first leave Earth and explore the Moon to test his hy-
pothesis Once a temporary col-
ony using genetically engi-
neered pods containing human
embryos is set up they would
further analyze the surroundings and find ways to
make it more habitable The lesser gravitational pull
which allowed for a comparatively lower escape ve-
locity made it easier to transport resources from the
Earth or the ISS Sure it would be difficult at first
Earth is unmatched but he knew it was for the greater
good of mankind It would mean more opportunities
and help us understand our place in this universe
Right now we have confined ourselves in a box and
this is the only way to leave it and unleash the won-
ders of the universe In front of his eyes it flew never
to come back

To perceive ones way to success
A dose of victory isnrsquot enough

Television Pros and Cons
- Soumya Sheth
What do most of the people do these days to entertain
themselvesEveryone likes to switch ON their televi-
sion sets which is one of the exceptional inventions of
science When our Dads come home tired after office
the first thing they would like to do is switch On the
TV and relax while watching it from his sofa seat
This is because while watching different things that
are broadcasted on TV we forget our worries and re-
grets of the day
However like every good and popular inventions tel-
evision also has its set of some worrying habits that
people get hitched to For example sometimes kids
watch it for extensive time thereby affecting their
studies This is one of the most worrying habit for par-
ents and we should know that ignoring studies is not
good for our future and studying is as much important
for us at this tender age more than anything elseItrsquos
true that television can bring us the knowledge from
across the world We can see different parts of the
world virtually sitting at the same place But we
should know how
we can use this
incredible inven-
tion of science in
the right and bene-
ficial way for us Now-a-days Smart TVs have be-
come even more popular We can even use internet on
those TVs Use Google to search for answers we donrsquot
know use YouTube to understand how things are
made or get our doubts cleared and much much more
To summarize it I would like to urge all my fellow
students to use this precious invention of science in a
way that will benefit you to gain constructive
knowledge and avoid destructive knowledge We
should know that television is not the world but only a
small component of this world Please know that there
are other things in life which we should enjoy too
along with giving utmost importance to our studies

The night before the final examination appears to all
examinees as the night before the Battle of Waterloo
might have appeared to Napoleon or the Duke of Wel-
lington Our system of education being what it is we
examinees are bound to be anxious about the nature of
the nature of the questions we will have to answer
next day Even an earnest student who has done all
that needs be done by way of nervousness uncertainty
and suspense on the night before the examination The
morning of the examination finds them prostate with
nervous disorder
But this is one side the picture There are students
who may be described as soldiers of fortune They are
daredevil youngsters who do not take their examina-
tions seriously But their lack of preparation is more
than made up for by the short cuts or bazar notes they
have provided themselves with Even on the night
before the examina-
tion they would be
going about their
daily rounds They
may be found in the parks cafes and restaurants talk-
ing about tips ndashtalking glibly and confidently about
what questions are sure to come The morning of the
examination finds them as cheerful as they were on
the night before
What is needed most is self-confidence and a cool
head True we do not remember all that we have read
when we go to the Examination Hall This does not
mean that we have forgotten them Many things re-
main in the sub ndashconscious region They jump into
consciousness when we face the questions and seri-
ously think of the answers Often such answers score
more marks than prepared ones
Elegance
-Prajna VIII-D
Elegant you be for the universe to learn your versatility
Brighter you shine the orb will know your sustenance
The stars moons and clouds let know your dignity
Apparently it seems your flawless abundance
The ideal triumph mustnrsquot be exaggerated
Till you salve someonersquos hurt
Elegant you be for the universe to learn your versatility
How can you be silent if you donrsquot know your efficiency
One of the values to become successful is simplicity
Through elegance letrsquos spread positivist

Chocoland - Talreja Aastha IV-J
Once I had been to the Chocolate Land
Chocolate all around to the reach of my hand
Toffees candies lollies and bars
In my mouth a crunchy munchy war
White dark nutty and sweet
Just like a dreamy treat
Colourful wrapper shiny and bright
Which one to choose which would be right
Houses made of chocolates and doors made of bars
And out stood there a chocolate car
Soon after it was 6 oclock
And could hear the doorrsquos knock
I woke up in a hurry
Just to realise that it was a dream
Me Myself

The ant and the elephant
- SOUMEN RAO IV-E
Once upon a time in a forest there lived an ant and an
elephant The elephant was the biggest among all the
elephants So he was very proud of himself and used
to criticize everyone and the ant which was the tiniest
among them was very happy and cheerful It used to
help everyone I its own way
All the animals in the forest used to complain about
the egoistic elephant So one day when the ant saw the
elephant walking towards it it immediately thought of
a plan As soon as the elephant came near the ant
said ldquoHello My friendrdquo but the elephant replied rude-
ly saying ldquoYou tiny
ant Get off my way
otherwise yoursquoll get
crushed to deathrdquo
Hearing this ant
challenged the elephant sayingrdquo My big friend I can
make you cryrdquo The ant quickly climbed onto the trunk
of the elephant and ran towards its earit went inside
the ear and started biting the elephants ear The ele-
phant tried to flap its ears but in vain After a few
minutes tears started rolling down its eyes It cried
ldquoPlease come out of my ear I canrsquot bear the painrdquo As
soon as the ant came out the elephant apologized for
its mistake and didnrsquot tease any animals from that day
Grandparents
-Aditya Patil VIII-E
The best place in vacation
A heaven like destination
Their love for us is endless
All their sacrifices are worthless
Great is their surrounding divinity
In front of our ordinary identity
To your grandparents never be rude
Because they are your
coolest dude
They yell at our parents
when we are shouted
With generosity and be-
nevolence they are bounded
Be sure to always meet your grandparents once in a
while and enhance yourself by their presence

Women Empowerment
- Devangi Dongre VII-B
The abilities of women in making decisions education and profession have
been largely suppressed since ages considering them inferior to men The situa-
tion is worst in underdeveloped and developing nations where women in a fami-
ly are not allowed to take financial decisions or decide on matters regarding their own education
With such state of affairs it would be a fallacy to dream about the goals of sustainable development and gen-
der equality There is an instant need to take measures to lift the social personal and professional status of
women bringing them shoulder to shoulder with men These particular measures constitute a process which
is known as ldquoWomen Empowermentrdquo Providing better education and employment opportunities to women
ensuring their better health providing justice and ensuring professional equivalence are the few methods of
women empowerment
Water Conservation
- Paarth Bhagat VII-J
Water is life If there was no water there would be no
life Hence water is the precious gift of God to mother
Earth We cannot imagine our lives without water
We human beings are made up of water it is the only
transportation medium that carries the food molecules
and oxygen to the cells of every body parts to help the
blood It signifies that water is the most essential in-
gredient to the functioning of life of every organism
So you see living this wonderful life is impossible
without water
Water is the force behind all the industry agriculture
manufacturing and trade and commerce All forms of
energy generation is done using water Be it hydroe-
lectrically projects or thermal power plant or nuclear
power plant water is
the key ingredient in
all of them There
would be no power
without water No
water no life
So it is our responsibility to conserve this life nectar
It is possible only through by changing our outlook
towards this wonderful natural resource We must en-
sure there is no pollution of water bodies by dumping
any waste such as sewage effluents and other toxic
substances We must also ensure there is no emission
of green-house gases into the atmosphere The people
and the government must ensure installation of efflu-
ents and smoke treatment plants at industrial garbage
and sewage units

The kind Fairies -Aditys Patil VIII-E
This story starts with two beautiful babies in a king-
dom called fairyland The babies were very pretty
Their names were Ovi and Riddhi They were growing
pretty well As they grew they became more and
more pretty Over and over they were also fairies and
within 5 years they became young girls Their mother
told them to go to school The girls askedwhere are
the schools There are no schools here Mother said
dont worry you will go to the planet Earth On the
planet Earth there is a very good school named New
Horizon Public School and the short form is nhps We
said ok On the first day of our school we were very
afraid but after a few days we
became more smart than the
others We were getting a lot of
prizes which we shared with
eveyone in the school This
made us and others happy One day We became the
princess of fairyland Our wings were like a rainbow
We were twins and had very long hairs Now I end
my story with a beautiful quote
ALWAYS HELP EACH OTHER LIKE THE
FARIES BECAUSE HELPING PEOPLE IS THE
PATH TO GOD
The Day Irsquoll Never Forget - Saranya Sarangi VII -
It was a day of love and affection
There was no visible sign of caution
But something unfortunate was going to happen
Nobody knew where and when
There was a blast at half past three
In a beauty land called Paradise On Earth
A complete silence and pity hadnrsquot the thee
Perished laid the martyrs
Whom our motherland gave birth
I still remember that scaring sight
The scattered limbs I couldnrsquot see
My heart got filled with grief and fright
No Indian could glee
Terribly writhing the soldiers were seen
Some families languished and some
were crying
So loyal to their country they had been
None of their families were mollifying
Whatever homage to our martyrs we pay
Tiny before their they lay
Salute to their tribute to motherland
To protect us they always walked hand in hand
Little Birdie - Marisha Nath VIII-C
I am a little birdie in the sky
With two wings to fly
I never disturb you
I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom
O human Then why do you steal my FREEDOM
Binding me alone in the cage makes me sad
Donrsquot you know caging a bird is bad
Looking at the sky
I wish I could fly
I never disturb you
I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom
O human Then why do you steal my
FREEDOM

Summers in India - Saranya Sarangi VIII
A hot season beginning from April till May is what we
call summer And thatrsquos the basic rule in India But
thatrsquos not something through which we can define
summers in our country India The sun shining high
above the head increasing the heat and this scorching
heat is something very unique about summers in India
Those ice-lolly stalls roaming down the streets tin-
kling their tiny bells is something special one will nev-
er find in any other country Many people love this
season
Especially the children as they get to eat ice-creams
Many people even donrsquot As they feel that this season
can only make a person dehydrated exhausted and irri-
tated Summer as we think as an unfruitful season is
contrast in reality Schools conduct summer camps
during vacation where stu-
dents can join different aca-
demic and co-curricular
courses to improve them-
selves Many children even spend time with their fami-
lies
Often families plan trips to different places as they get
a very long vacation during this season But now-a-
days due to increasing heat these pleasant summers
are becoming unbearable Every just sweat and sweat
We get a lethargic feeling not ready to do any work
Due to this heat we continually keep the ACs on which
consume a lot of electricity creating trouble for our
mother Earth and us Gradually that charm of the
unique kind of summers will be lost if precautions are
not taken We must really hope and work hard to bring
back our lovely lsquoSummers in Indiarsquo
Exams are good or bad
- Nupoor Teli VIIIndashI
In my humble opinionexams are apressure on the stu-
dents They are forced to study and score good
markswhich can lead to frustration An environmentof
competitivenessof standing first is created for which
students keep on studying day and night without any
recreation It is good to studybut not just for the sake
of gaining marks
Why do we study What is the main intention behind
education Seeking intersresting and fascinating
knowledge as well as facts about the world But now-a
-daysthe main reason for studying is gaining marks If
there are no marksno career andno success This is the
mindset of 70 people of the worldespecially parents
They pressurize their children so much that they get
depressed or sometimes attempt suicide as well
Every two months an exam is conducted Moreo-
verthere are projectssubject-enrichment activi-
tieschapter test sfter every topicnotebookfile submis
sion etcAnd as acherry on top
of the cakewe have the semes-
ter exams of eighty marks as
well What all will the students
do And even if any extra-
curricular activities are being learntthen more extra
studies Just studystudy and study
Why so much of tension on the children Under this
tension only they start cheating As time passes cheat-
ing becomes a habit of their life
I fell that exams should be conducted once a term in
order to evaluate whether the students are clear with
the concepts or notThey shouldnt be pressurized for
their marksbut should be made understand their mis-
takes Let them choose their own career options on
their own Help them knowwhat they like to study and
what they want to do in their life So dont pressurize
students for what they dont likeand encourage them in
what they do After allthey are only the Rising stars of
the country

Life is magical - Piyush Sahoo VII-H
A new day or a new night
Everything in life seems bright
A new morning or a new evening
Life is full of happening
A life is just like a kite
It may disappear in a sight
Life moves from baby to old
Make your life challenging and bold
Enjoy life the fullest
Never accept less than best
Unlikely life comes to an end
But remember never to bend
Happy sadness victory and loss
Accept it the way it comes
Life can be at times tragical
But make it the most beautiful
Life is magicalhellip
Life is so magicalhellip
Humility -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
Humility is having a heart to treat others with respect
and love Considering people worthy of your love
time and efforts regardless of who they are or what
they have done A person is truly humble when they
are willing to work hard for others expecting nothing
in return
Humility has the power to change a personrsquos perspec-
tive towards life It can make a difference in the way a
person is looked upon by others Doing an act of hum-
bleness can make a personrsquos day Humility is about
not having an ego or considering things below your
dignity or considering yourself greater than others
People often confuse humility with self-respect They
canrsquot make out the difference between being useful to
others and being used by others
It takes courage to be humble
because in the era in which we
live humility is looked upon as
weakness People assume yoursquore not strong enough to
stand up for yourself They think you surrender in-
stead of protesting They will despise and scorn you
but they donrsquot know that you take pleasure in what
you do because they havenrsquot experienced that kind of
joy
So if you do have humility donrsquot draw back from it
because of what others think Whatever you are doing
is for the good of others and you have no need to be
ashamed of that Humbleness will spread from person
to person Who knows maybe your one act of humili-
ty will spread on to help a person in need So be brave
be humble
Mom -Tanvi Sawant VII-C
Oh mom I came to this beautiful world just because
of youhellip
Mom what would I do without you
Oh mom there are thorns on the way
But you manage to get me awayhellip
Oh mom I canrsquot say how much yoursquore to me
Mom just promise me that yoursquoll and
always be with mehellip
Oh mom this world is incomplete
without you
Just like the sky without itrsquos bright color bluehellip
Oh mom yoursquore the candle that showed the way in the
dark
My dear mom you made my life spark

OUR FUTURE EARTH - Hiya Purswani VIII-B
We all know the present condition of our environment
around us Inspite of advanced and modern technolo-
gy we humans are still not able to find a solution
Early humans neither they had much technology nor
they had enough intelligence but still in the early ages
the environment was clean making it the reason for
the increasing life span of humans Its a shocking
news to know that the amount of plastic bottles pro-
duced now may lead to increase in plastic pollution
and cause several death Its a great opportunity to be
as a human in this beautiful earth and so its our re-
sponsibility to make it clean In monsoon people cut
down trees to prevent accidents to occur but do we
plant trees in summer to prevent more global warm-
ing We can prevent bad things to happen but not can-
not take that much effort for good things to spread
Have you ever wondered while seeing a tap open how
many taps are left open at the same time in the whole
world It might sound unbelievable there can be a
World War III on water land and fresh air The way
we are thinking about the wastage of water may lead
us to a massive pain Itrsquos truly said by Warren Buffet
sometimes to buy things we need we have to sell
things we do not need This happens in the case of
lacking of intelligence We say every scholar is a true
genius but in my
opinion a person is
genius if he has the
ability to save and
change things in his
own way We all have the ability to save this earth
but our thoughts our ego and our greediness is stop-
ping us to think in a better way Everyone has a good
and a bad side in his life What matters is the part we
choose to act upon This is an excellent thought said
by Sirius Black in the movie Harry Potter Itrsquos time to
bring a change We always have time to do good
things all we need is hope Spreading awareness is the
best idea to bring a change If everyone stops thinking
about their economical needs and start contributing
towards the environment by planting more trees cer-
tainly there will be a beneficial change in this world
Neither do we think about the future nor care about
the present Why not be an optimist and think in a
positive way of life Our studies our needs our
knowledge will not help us in any way if we donʼt
change Its not that easy to plant a tree and care for it a
whole year if we only plant it with all our love nature
is certainly going to care for it Lastly I would like to
end with a quoterdquo Come forth in the light of things
nature will be your teacher
The Small Hours Pranjal Anil Chavan V-C
No more my little song Come back
And now of nights I lay my head on down
to watch the black
And wait the unfailing gray
Oh Sad are winter nights and slow
And sad is a song thatrsquos dumb
And sad it is to lie I know
Another dawn will come

Floods and Destruction
- Nirvi Soni IV-H
India faces occurrence of floods each year in some
parts of Assam during the rainy season Water of river
Brahmaputra rises and enters into many villages
causing great destruction Floods are unavoidable but
we need to take precautions in the following ways by
reducing mining activities building dams growing
more trees etc During floods the weather becomes
wet and gloomy Trees and plants get uprooted This
way floods cause great de-
struction to both life and
property It also becomes dif-
ficult to travel from place to
place Many people are left
homeless The rain water should be harvested and
stored in large storage tanks The harvested rainwater
can be used for washing clothes and cleaning By us-
ing rain water in our daily life we can preserve water
resources
Good Morning Everyone -Vyomi ThakkarVI - H
Come with me wersquoll have some fun
Wersquoll go on a walk
Donrsquot worry will have a great talk
Roaming around the ground
With beautiful birdrsquos sound
We donrsquot know if anything will be found
Wersquoll surely find the crown
Up on the chilled mountain
We saw a beautiful fountain
Surrounded by a beautiful castle
Decorated with the colourful tassel
Just be quiet and keen
Soon you will be the queen
Think before you speak
-Shravya Atreya IX-D
Think before you speak
There are hearts you must please
Think before you speak
You canrsquot undo the harm done after you squeak
Think before you speak
You might have done greater harm than you might
think
Think before you speak
There are still places left for you
to seek
Think before you speak
There is a long way to go before
you sleep
Think before you speak
There are hearts you must
please

GLOBAL WARMING - Adhyant Singh VII-F
Global warming refers to the steady rise in the Earthrsquos mean temperature The effect of global
warming had come into sight when polar ice caps started melting this phenomena is called ICE ndash
ALBEDO the ice caps melt faster due to the rise in the temperature This sudden rise in the temperature near
the poles began in 1999 The polar ice caps in Antarctica melt at the rate of 400000000000 tons per year ac-
cording to some scientists it would approximately take 5000 years to melt the total ice on earth In 2013 Inter-
governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) stated that the main cause of Global warming is human inter-
vention like emission of Green house gases like Carbon-Di-Oxide nitrous oxide and methane
These gases trap the heat which is reflected by the Earthrsquos surface thus increasing the temperature and also
destroying the ozone layer which prevents the ultraviolet rays of the sun from reaching the earthrsquos surface Al-
so burning fossil fuel contributes to the problem Effects of global warming have also led to the increase in the
sea level and extreme weather like heat waves and change in the regional pattern of precipitation and the ex-
pansion of desserts A concentrated and focused effort by the entire humanity can curb down the impact of
Global warming and also prevent it Planting more trees to control the amount of carbon-di-oxide eliminating
the use of chlorofluorocarbon or (CFCrsquoS) are a few steps All the countries have signed up with the United Na-
tions Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to prevent the doomsday of Earth So to prevent
earthrsquos doomsday we all must work together
Itrsquos not too late there is still timehellipBefore the earth ends and we whinehellipSo keep on marching and planting
greens To end Global Warming and Make our planet greenhellip

Why is it they donrsquot know

The Night - Matangi Rajesh VII-D
Its the night
The moon is white
When we switch off the light
What a beautiful sight
After this comes the sun bright
There is no more artificial light
This is the time to start your diet
To go for a run wearing tights
Then comes the evening when
you have snacks light
And fly a big colorful kite
or include your sibling in a pillow fight
Again comes the night
A moon which is white
We switch off the light
A beautiful sight

Hyperloop -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
Human inventions have baffled the world They are
innumerable ranging from revolutionizing
smartphones to not-so-breathtaking ice cream cones
but they play a role in our life just the same The
things which are commonplace to us now were unbe-
knownst to people once upon a time For the people of
the 19th century the car was a thing of the future until
in 1885 Karl Benz ran his first car on the road Then
for centuries people took the prospect of of flying like
the birds as only a wild possibility which was made
possible in 1903 when the Wright Brothers flew the
first plane
What is the thing of the future for us Well we are the
future modifying and bettering the things that have
been made and crating stuff that we didnt even dare
to imagine about The Hyperloop fulfills both aspects
of the definition a very advanced model of our faith-
ful train and yet a brand new idea to scale greater
heights The Hyperloop is an ideal mode of efficient
transport Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane
with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing
speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt have to
ace the two types of friction that every other vehicle
has to face Air resistance and ground friction The
pods of the Hyperloop are propelled through a depres-
surized tub Since it is almost vacuum very little air
resistance can be offered inside the tube Due to this
the energy required to travel is also very less The Hy-
perloops unique technology uses magnetic levitation
to guide and lift the pods of the rail Since the pod is
not in contact with the ground there is no friction act-
ing on itThe first Hyperloop ndash virgin Hyperloop one
is set to run with passengers as early as 2021 and is
created by SpaceX and Tesla
The mastermind behind the Hyperloop is Elon Musk
who first published a 58 page white-paper on the web-
site of his company-Space X It was available to all
and was titled Hyperloop alpha The Hyperloop may
be the pioneer of a whole new era of transportation
traveling a distance which would otherwise take 12
hours in just I hour it has crossed all known bounda-
ries and created higher limits for us to reach and reach
we must for when time is money and money is time
an option that saves both needs to be used
Exams are good or bad -Nupoor Teli VIII
In my humble opinion exams are pressure on the stu-
dents They are forced to study and score good marks
which can lead to frustration An environment of com-
petitiveness of standing first is created for which stu-
dents keep on studying day and night without any rec-
reation It is good to study but not just for the sake of
gaining marks
Why do we study What is the main intention behind
education Seeking interesting and fascinating
knowledge as well as facts about the world But now-a
-days the main reason for studying is gaining marks
If there are no marks no career and no success This
is the mindset of 70 people of the world especially
parents They pressurize their children so much that
they get depressed or sometimes attempt suicide as
wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-
ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities
chapter test after every topic notebookfile submis-
sion etc And as cherry on top of the cake we have the
semester exams of eighty marks as well What all will
the students do And even if any extra-curricular ac-
tivities are being learnt then more extra studies Just
study study and study
Why so much of tension on the children Under this
tension only they start cheating As time passes cheat-
ing becomes a habit of their lifeI fell that exams
should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate
whether the students are clear with the concepts or
not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but
should be made understand their mistakes Let them
choose their own career options on their own Help
them know what they like to study and what they want
to do in their life So dont pressurize students for
what they dont like and encourage them in what they
do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the
country

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B
Life is all about interactions You meet people and
you interact You observe them consciously or sub-
consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us
more than we even realise Some people leave a last-
ing impression on us and entirely change the course of
life for better or for worse Some people influence us
help us go further and make all the difference
I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-
tial people They have taken care of me ever since I
came into this world They are the ones who wish the
best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-
cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel
no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-
come a part of my personality They are the ones who
helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me
to be better
When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are
the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-
takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique
learning experience It has made me realise how eve-
rything they do has a reason They are the ones who
have taught me the importance of the little things in
life They are the ones who have helped me recognize
and follow my passion The very thought of them not
being a part of my life is scary to the least as without
them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am
today and whatever I have achieved is all because of
them and I am very grateful of that
Eyesight
-Aditi Shenoy VIII-F
The tired little girl went to bed
Recollecting the days bygone
Seeing them in her dreams
As the day she was born
Trying to see the world
With her little eyes
But the sun with his brightness
Wouldnt let her catch the sights
The girl still eager
And curious to see the world around her
Again opened her eyes
But her vision was blurred
Still she did not lose hope
Which flowed through her blood
Encouraging and pushing her
To see the world further
Her heart beating fast
Her enthusiasm increasing
She slowly tried to see
With her eyes continuously blinking
Starting to lose hope
She was ready to give up
But curiosity got the upper hand
And pushed her forward
With her hope again rising
and strength in her eyesight
She is finally seeing the world
With wide open eyes

Conquering the space
-Marisha Nath VIII-C
ldquoThere is no failure in Science it is only continual
effort to conquer the unknown On the way even if we
face failure it rather adds more value to our effort for
our next journey to know the unknownrdquo
Chandrayan-2 Indiarsquos Moon Mission The dream of
entire India to land on moon and become the 4th Na-
tion in the world to put its flag on the soil of moon
after USSR USA amp China
ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launched
Chandrayan-2 on 22nd July 2019 from Bengaluru
(Satish Dhawan Space Center) under the command of
ISRO chief K Shivan It consists of ORBITER
LANDER amp Lunar Rover PRAGYAN Like Chandra-
yan-1(22nd Oct2008) it was Indiarsquos indigenous moon
mission
It touched the Moon Surface on Saturday early morn-
ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-
ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-
ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of
moon it lost contact with the ground station Because
of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be
monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m
(approx) away from its assigned location near
SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still
orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange
signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it
The ORBITER which will remain active for another
12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-
owed portion of the moon for the first time in history
with the help of its high-resolution camera
The entire Nation irrespective of their field of
knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front
of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of
VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true
Indians who always dream progress and development
of their motherland But our heart never accepts this
as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement
for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-
pose of our mission
But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at
this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring
country quoting this as a big failure on part of India
blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos
money on this
Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will
be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to
this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other
nations on such missions
Further I should say that India is not new in the field
of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-
TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975
It was named after famous scientist of ancient India
ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested
for the first time the HELIOCENTRIC THEORY
(Sun at the center and all planets revolve around the
Sun) of the Solar System much earlier than ready for
New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 57
COPERNICUS as believed in the western world
Other countries might have moon on their flags but
we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is
great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are
whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-
rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is
only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the
unknown and its continual application for the benefit
of the mankind)rdquo
Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by
various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-
PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-
cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958
onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as
46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was
attempted out of which only 21 was successful
Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-
tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the
overall attempts conducted by other Nations
USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-
NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was
planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January
SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR
successfully on moon
NASA after many attempts was successful to send
first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th
July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk
on moon
Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-
clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-
SION MANGAL for our next moon mission

Travelling via train -Aditya Patil VIII-E
Travelling is a prominent and a fun-learning activity of
our life It introduces us to new people their culture
and enhances skills that are essential in our lives
Travelling gives a wonderful experience to the travel-
ers especially by train I am being so sight to write the
essay lsquocause guess what ldquoI AM TRAVELLING IN
THE BUMPY TRAINrdquo hearing the quarrels for seats
with the bumps of the train
Train to me is the most favourite mode of transport for
long journeys I am sure even others love travelling via
train inspite of the long journey and time But if its
with families or with bachelor friends therersquos no one
stopping them from being happy During travelling we
also get familiar to stops during the journey where
people get off and enter This introduces us to the cul-
ture of those regions
and thatrsquos what makes our
India famous and legend-
ary We also get to eat
those India-famous snacks
from all over India like lsquoShehgaon kachorirsquo lsquo Kol-
hapuri misalrsquo and I would stop here or else I know
your mouth is watering and you wanna eat this
This is what travelling is It increases our general
knowledge as we get across so many new things Trav-
elling by train is much more affordable than aero-
planes where we just have to sit and enjoy the luxury
Travelling will also introduce you to all kinds of peo-
ple like the innocent ones the fighters the caring ones
who surrender themselves for you and sometimes the
people you know So to enjoy these beautiful moments
of life travel once or twice a year to refresh your-
selves
Control Yourself - Suvan Lokhande IX-A
Controlling yourself is something great that you have
achieved in your whole life Controlling a particular
thing with which you get addicted is a big thing Dur-
ing puberty children get addicted to various bad things
such as food mobile TV or maybe food
ldquoControl Yourself Kidrdquo ldquoDone not more than
thisrdquo ldquoControlrdquo such types of sentences maybe
familiar to you which must be said by your mom dad
teachers and your elders But thatrsquos exactly true what
they say I know that itrsquos difficult to leave a particular
thing with which you get addicted But still if you
leave it certainly this can make an impact in your life
I mean to say that leave only bad things and not the
good things like reading or studying Believe it every-
thing is possible in this whole world If Neil Arm-
strong can go to moon then why cannot you leave your
bad habit Lets take an example a
boy who likes to eat a lot he may
like to eat Chinese Continental
Asian and whatever But you must
take care of your fitness too We can
eat whatever we want but in a limit
If you start practicing such good practices you can
surely be the one who has changed his whole life to a
certain life
And these changes can definitely make you proudAt
last my opinions may have some differences but eve-
ryday we get to learn something from our daily experi-
ences And I truly believe that if we make a decision
and start opting it in our daily life we can surely our-
selves make a change in our whole life At last I con-
vey that you need to control yourself and follow this
motto in your lifehelliphellipControl Yourself amp Be the
Change

Nature
- BHUMESH DADHWAL VIImdashC
The earth is full of surprises
Just look around yourself
It can be anywhere around you
Even somewhere in your bookshelf
The most surprising is nature
Itrsquos full of different stuff
It can be a human or thing or even a creature
We humans made strong big buildings
And thatrsquos what we think is great
But look deep in nature
You will find trees plants and Animals everywhere
Some may be mild And some may be wild
Mother nature provides us with our needs
And still we use it for our greeds
Letrsquos join hands together
To save this marvelous creation

Anger Management
- Sfurti Kumbhar IX-A
AngerhellipThe worst of emotions It causes a LOT of
problems Like damaged friendships separated fami-
lies to list a few The list is long But as many people
have tried and failed controlling anger can be impos-
sible at times when the little fuse in your brain blows
off Let us discuss controlling anger today
Basically anger management seems and sounds im-
possible But as it turns out it isnrsquot Itrsquos really simple
To be honest I am a cranky person Even the slightest
bit of annoying thing or the face of an irritating person
blows my fuse off So well yeah Irsquom trying to get it
under control Sort of
Impossible right Managing anger sounds easy You
can distract yourself from the situation Permanently
fix an imaginary meter in your brain which indicates
anger level My meter is always near 50-60 When I
say that Irsquom a cranky person you can see that I mean
it
As I was saying the meter Anytime you feel that the
meter is rising just find some ways to control it Like
the classic ldquodrink cool water to cool down your warm
headrdquo or breathe Listen to your fav music Or ask
yourself this simple question
ldquoIs getting angry at this person or screaming at them
going to improve my day in any way whatsoeverrdquo
If the answer is yes go ahead Scream all that you
want at the person and improve your day But if the
answer is no STOP yourself in time Maybe make
yourself an anger dice Or breathe in Out And may-
be the classic as mentioned above
Frankly these ways have helped me to reduce my
ldquofuse blowing offrdquo times since grade 4 Anger may be
one of the smartest issues but we are smarter
You are a masterpiece - Tisha Gangar VIII-A
There are songs in your eyes
Singing lullabies
The voice is so pretty
That it charms in the whole city
There is dance in your smile
With moves in a pile
You make people laugh
With dance as your better half
There is a magical art
Right inside your heart
Painting pictures which create
memories
That are soothing just like a
breeze
You are a Masterpiece
With an end number of skills
Creativity is your strength
Keep safe till the end

Monsoon -Isha Bhanushali VIII
The most alluring part in monsoon season is the way
people tackle them Every where you scan people are
struggling back to reach their home back safely and it
indeed gives you a sense of achievement when you
reach home without getting drained by the gushing
water the automobiles blow on youWell my case is a
little bit different Every time I attempt not to step in-
side the puddle the next step will certainly be inside
it
It was raining heavily that day and unlike my usual
days it was a special one I got dispersed from my
classes by 600 and not aware about the conditions
outside I stepped outside expecting my van to pick
me up Suddenly there was gloomy all around and
there was silence everywhere (huh Because the light
went off) and to add insult to injury I got a call from
my Sir that the van will be com-
ing 1 hour late
I after a while made up my
mind I will set out and go on
my ownI took my umbrella and set out with my
friend The roads were all muddy and the water
reached up to my ankle The situation got testified as
it started raining heavily We all expected the rain to
stop after a while but it was adamant throwing its
tantrums on us All over the road there were vehicles
parked and there was no way to move
But not giving up we carried forward to reach our des-
tination After a long tiring journey of 1km (which
took us almost 1hr) we reached our home safely I had
a feeling of accomplishing a big feat that day
But the climax is here
I had to listen to my Moms scolding
Yes because I had stepped inside a big puddle
Soldier - Marisha Nath VIII-C
Dear soldier you sacrifice yourself for your nation

Man Woman and Equality Poorvi Sanu IX-G
Why are women considered inferior to men Why is
it so Even in the olden days gender inequality was
very common
Sati widows shravana shraddha managala gaur
akshaya tritiya child marriage karva chauthhellip
etcetera etcetera etceteraWhat do these words re-
mind you of Yep Thatrsquos right These are all systems
for women
These are sacrifices and systems that women perform
for their better halves So that their spouses have a
long and safe life But what do these spouses do in
return Discriminate these women Consider them
inferior I think that only about 15 of men give
equal opportunities and rights to women
This number is increasing no doubt but then this is a
slow processMen work approximately 6 ndash 8 hours a
day Women on the other hand work at least 16
hours a day Yet men get salary and women in some
cases donrsquot
To all the men and boys reading this I have a few
questions for youDo you have the guts to perform all
housework with 5 guests in the house Do you have
enough courage to change your sur-
name after marriage Do you have
the guts to leave your ancestral home
where you have lived for at least 23
years Are you ready to be dominated
by women More importantly are you ready to listen
to pungent words from your mother-in-law And of
course do you guys have courage to bear a child for 9
months and 9 days and give birth and nurture the ba-
by
Giving birth is simultaneous to fracturing 20 ndash 21
bones at once Did men know this And yet they con-
sider women weak They think that because wersquore
women we cannot thinkIf we cannot think who is
Marie Curie If we are weak who delivers kids
Women arenrsquot any different They are children of
gods They arenrsquot your personal secretaries they are
your partnersOnly a woman knows how much suffer-
ing women go through And yet women are discrimi-
nated daily
What women want is love and respect They work
hard for it they toil day and night and what they get
ishellipabsolutely nothing
Is this right
Submission to Peer Pressure -Akshat Mishra IX -G
ldquoHey Mohan When did you get this new iPhone-Xrdquo
we asked him in surprise as we knew the financial
condition of his family ldquoMy cousin gifted it to merdquo
quipped Mohan sheepishly All the boys resumed
playing but I knew there was something amissPeer
pressure is becoming increasingly inevitable amongst
teenagers One may argue that it is a part of human
nature It may be pivotal for a human being but its
darker side is certainly the more powerful one
People are easily succumbing to peer pressure without
realising its consequences Just to gain respect in
someonersquos eyes they are even ready to quarrel with
their parents and ward their attention from their nec-
essary activities A recent survey suggested that the
maximum people in a rave are a group of teenagers
The clutches of peer pressure are so strong that people
arenrsquot being able to listen even to their conscience
The youth mostly is just littering around the streets
smoking cigarettes boozing or becoming a victim to
social networks sites like Facebook or Instagram Hu-
man resource is the most valuable resource that we
have and the youth are supposed to replenish this re-
source not just to become egoists The are the future
of the planet but sadly they arenrsquot forging the path for
mankind that they are supposed to
Hopefully there is some resistance against this social
evil in modern days Such people have sworn to stay
adamant and not stray from the rightful path These
days of hope do believe in working for the greater
good and are spreading awareness and showing the
society that peer pressure is deleterious sort individual
growth and well being

ldquoFreedom of Press in Democracyrdquo
- Poorvi Sanu IX-G
A free press and a free judiciary are two very important
cornerstones of a democracy Especially in the modern
era of widely accessible news and innumerable infor-
mation at our fingertips freedom of press is highly valued
liberty that citizens should be aware of and know the rea-
son why it is given to us as Indians Freedom means those
people who state the liberty or right and privileged to
speak according to their will
Freedom is that opportunity which we should never avoid
and in all bad situations it gives us all right to handle the
problems in our own innovative and thoughtful way Press
and media are the vital way to express and speech some
views and opinions in a democratic country It is the me-
dium of expressing an opinion of the people It justifies
the individual right to speech and expression a coveted
right enshrined in the Indian constitution and the law of
other countries on the globe
The importance of freedom of press lies in the fact that
for most citizens the prospect of personal familiarity with
newsworthy events is unrealistic In seeking out news the
media therefore acts for the public in large it is the means
by which people receive free flow of information and ide-
as which is essential to intelligence self-governance that
is in turn democracy For a proper functioning of democ-
racy it is essential that
citizens are informed
about news from vari-
ous parts of the coun-
try and even abroad because only then can they form ra-
tional opinions A citizen surely cannot be expected per-
sonally to gather news to enable him or her to form such
opinions Hence the media plays an important role in a
democracy and serves as an agency of the people to gath-
er news for them
It is for this reason that freedom of press has been empha-
sised in all democratic countries while it was not permit-
ted in feudal or totalitarian regimes
In India the media have a great responsibility also to see
that the news they present is accurate and serve the inter-
est of the people If the media convey false news that may
harm the reputation of a person or a section of society it
may do a great damage since reputation is a valuable asset
for a person
Even if the media subsequently correct a statement the
damage done may be irreparable Hence the media should
take care to carefully investigate any news item before
carefully reporting it
I know of a case were the photograph of a High Court
judge who was known to be upright was shown on a TV
New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 22
channel along with that of a known criminal The alle-
gation against the judge was that he had acquired the
land not in any discretionary quota but in the open
market at the market priceAlso sometimes the media
present twisted or distorted news that may contain an
element of truth but also an element of untruth This
too should be avoided because a half-truth can be
more dangerous than a total lie The media should
avoid giving any slant to news and avoid sensational-
ism and yellow journalism Only then will they gain
the respect of the people and fulfil their true role in a
democracySome newspapers espouse the cause of
only one community
ldquoThey do not judge problems on their merits They
view problems from a communal angle Such newspa-
pers do disservice to the nation On the other hand
some responsible newspapers exercise great restraint
while reporting news about riots between two commu-
nities They never give the identity of the community
which started the riot If there are any casualties they
do not give a community-wise break up lest this
should trigger off a bigger riot
In India most of the newspapers are controlled by
business magnates Such newspapers therefore pro-
mote the interest of the capitalists by given tainted
news They pay no heed even to the genuine prob-
lems of the worker^ farmers artisans and other
weaker sections of the people
The press is the defender and the protector of the
rights and liberties of the people But it can per-
form this role only if it enjoys freedom in publish-
ing news views and reporting It can function ef-
fectively only in an open society where decisions are
made in a democratic manner The press should not be
scared of influential people The press should consider
it their duty to protect the right of the workers and oth-
er downtrodden sections of the people
While the press should enjoy freedom to perform its
role effectively it should not treat such freedom as a
licence to defame anybody It should not publish any
views or support any movement which violates our
Constitution or is against the territorial integrity and
unity of the country
To the conclusion As the worldrsquos largest democracy
India has a duty to ensure that the press has the duty to
disseminate information and express opinions without
excessive censorship Unfortunately in recent years
the right has been increasingly curbed This oppres-
sion of press is an alarming trend as it does not allow
for proper checks and balances on the government and
its activities The people of our country need to re-
member that in order to have a strong democracy they
need a strong and free press

Our Future Earth
- Hiya Purswani VIII B
We all know the present condition of our environment
around us Inspite of advanced and modern technolo-
gy we humans are still not able to find a solution
Early humans neither they had much technology nor
they had enough intelligence but still in the early ages
the environment was clean making it the reason for
the increasing life span of humans Its a shocking
news to know that the amount of plastic bottles pro-
duced now may lead to increase in plastic pollution
and cause several death
Its a great opportunity to be as a human in this beauti-
ful earth and so itrsquos our responsibility to make it
clean In monsoon people cut down trees to prevent
accidents to occur but do we plant trees in summer to
prevent more global warming We can prevent bad
things to happen but not cannot take that much efforts
for good things to spread Have you ever wondered
while seeing a tap open how many taps are left open
at the same time in the whole world It might sound
unbelievable there can be a World War III on water
land and fresh air The way we are thinking about the
wastage of water may lead us to a massive pain I trsquos
truly said by Warren Buffet sometimes to buy things
we need we have to sell things we do not need This
happens in the case of lacking of intelligence We say
every scholar is a true genius but in my opinion a per-
son is genius if he has the ability to save and change
things in his own way We all have the ability to save
this earth but our thoughts our ego and our greedi-
ness is stopping us to think in a better way rdquoEveryone
has a good and a bad side in his life What matters is
the part we choose to act upon rdquoThis is an excellent
thought said by Sirius Black in the movie Harry Pot-
ter Itrsquos time to bring a change
We always have time to do good things all we need is
hope Spreading awareness is the best idea to bring a
change If everyone stops thinking about their eco-
nomical needs and start contributing towards the envi-
ronment by planting more trees certainly there will be
a beneficial change in this world Neither do we think
about the future nor care about the present Why not
be an optimist and think in a positive way of life Our
studies our needs our knowledge will not help us in
any way if we donrsquot change Its not that easy to plant a
tree and care for it a whole year but if we only plant it
with all our love nature is certainly going to care for
it Lastly I would like to end with a quote Come
forth in the light of things nature will be your teach-
er
Endeavor
- Heet Shripal Kankariya VII-G
It is hard to recall the past
but good thoughts are forever
Remember the step you took
May it be stupid or clever
Though the time runs out
your hope should never
Dont lose ittry and endeavor
Do your best even if the conse-
quences make your work the worst
Try and try and make your work better
It is hard to recall the past
but good thoughts are forever
Remember the step you took maybe stupid or clever

The Aloof Humans - A curse to mother
earth - Vaijayanthimala Navneet VIII-J
With all the night strength and gust
Preserving nature is must
Mother Nature has been so lucrative
Letrsquos do something to save her
Something new and creativersquo
Let us get pollution under control
Before mother Earth weeps and implores
Let clean air sweep
Both high and deep
Let the tiny piece of land
Be clean tidy and neat
Let uncontaminated water be
So that everything doesnrsquot
end like the sea
Let the tree stand
lsquoCause it is more alluring than the seven colour band
Without being loquacious
Mother nature is indeed precious
The Little girl
- Bhumika Sharma VI-F
I found in a garage
Near the carriage
A tiny little baby girl
She had cute blue eyes
Which were very small in size
And had beautiful hair with a cute little curl
I wonder why she was there
And she came fromhellipwhere
I then asked a person passing on the road
If he knew the merciless who
kept her near the horses and
toads
The person replied ldquoWho cares
O Madamhellip
hellipFor a girl who is denied by her
dad and mum
I felt very sad and cried
But I saved her lest she died
Who will save many such girls
Imagine a world without these pearls
Treat them with respect and love
The Little Guest - Ashwathy Ganesh VI ndashD
It was rainy season
At home came a pigeon
It made its nest and was a pest
But there came another guest
Who shooed away the little pest
First there was nothing but a basket of twigs
And I watched it eating figs
When the thunder came with the rain
I got a bit scared
But it didnrsquot fly away
Because I took care
Soon there were three small
eggs
Which were taken care of by the guest
The bird is easy to guess
Because it doesnrsquot make a mess
With its red tail
It looked a bit frail
Between the plants green full full
Was the nest of the little Bulbul

The Art of Dharma as per Mahabharata
- Abhishek Singh [Teacher SrSecondary]
Dharma means the Duty or RighteousnessDharma is
subtle many times we are forced to take wrong
means for right means(and ends us like Arjuna in hell)
or reaches wrong ends following right means(like
Yudhishthira in exile)Its like the Ying and Yang
Duryodhanarsquos envy for the Pandvarsquos Indraprastha and
Yudhishthirarsquos greed or addiction to a game of dice
and win more territory was the main cause of war
The envy can result in healthy competitiveness raising
oneself up by making the envious work harder for
rivalrsquos possessions or eternal sickness to pull the rival
downThe envy and greed are both presents even in
the
modern day world the failure
of communism was caused by
envy among citizens while the
capitalist system is stranded by greed The aim of so-
ciety should not be to suppress these feelings among
its citizens but to channelize them productively Envy
is the vice of socialism Greed is the evil of capital-
ism
Dharma is not justice Its difference between Retribu-
tive Justice and forgiveness While a nation with
stronger legal laws can prefer justice over peace the
newly created or war-torn nations with weaker legal
laws should prefer to restore peace and harmony in
society rather than emphasizing justice
Beware You are in for a scare
- Ayush Lonakadi IX-C
I had returned home late but after reaching home I had
wished I had not reached home that day There was no
electricity which just made it creepier When I
reached my room my exhaustion made me forget that
I was famished I lay on the bed scrolling down pic-
tures I had recently clicked I relived happy moments
but someone out there wasnrsquot happy to see me happy
and I noticed a photograph in my phone which be-
mused me ndash not mentioning how frightened I had be-
come
The picture waswashow can I explain The back-
ground was of my house In the photoI was
sleeping Butbut how could that have been possi-
ble I lived alone there was no one to click my photo
while I was sleeping I was petrified with my eyes
wide open and my whole body was horror-struck
Then all the unwanted noises came into focus ndash the
noises from outside noises of something creaking and
the wind forcefully blowing through the thin slit of the
window eerily
I was panic-stricken I
quickly switched my
phone off and kept it on
the table beside and did
not bother about changing my clothes and covered my
face with a blanket and hugged it tightly I could not
even think of sleeping Every second the clock ticked
I hugged the blanket harder My face and chest were
drenched in sweat I felt some supernatural move-
ments around me something trying to reach out to
me
By then I was praying to God to take me away from
that place I was ready to die Then something hap-
pened and I became frantic from tip to toe lsquoIt is Tues-
day todayrsquo The virtual assistant of my phone said but
I clearly remembered that I had switched off my
phone Who asked the question It was this trauma
that I couldnrsquot bear and today I am here telling you
this story after turning into a roaming soul Look to
your right I am right beside you

Travelling Aaryan Aggarwal IX - B
Travelling is an experience It doesnrsquot matter where
you travel Every place is great in its own ways You
could go to a culturally rich yet underdeveloped place
or you could go to an advanced metropolitan place
You could travel slow paced or you could be adven-
turous and go off the beaten path You could go to the
beach you could go to a museum It wonrsquot matter as
wherever you go you will always get a new and
different experience The experiences will open your
mind to a whole new world and culture which will
change your understanding and preconceived notions
about that place You will also get an opportunity to
detoxify yourself from social media Thus I believe
that travelling is more than just a hobby and can
change your entire thought process and state of
mind
Wallflower
- Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
She lived under a rock
More by force than by will
She lived there so long
She had nothing to fight with
All these people pushing her down
Her feeble frame could fight no long
She vowed to never stop the struggle
Until she had on her temples the crown
Declaring to the world her change
after years bygone
From being the young shy girl they saw
But all this struggle slowly had her crumbling
As she withered her dreams fading
Cause promises are sometimes left undone
When fate decides to yield a gun
And the world never saw the light
Of a wallflower wishing to shine so bright
Being Myself -Nidhi Mishra VIII-G
I did never lie to myself
Never strived to be someone else
And so I never shy
To look myself straight in the eye
I did never hide myself
And lavish a priceless gift
Having lsquolifersquo as its spell
Being myself Irsquoll uplift
Life is too short
Donrsquot be someone else
A onetime offer we have got
Even more precious than a thousand jewels

Women Empowerment - Devangi Dongre VII-B
The abilities of women in making decisions educa-
tion and profession have been largely suppressed
since ages considering them inferior to men The sit-
uation is worst in underdeveloped and developing na-
tions where women in a family are not allowed to
take financial decisions or decide on matters regard-
ing their own educationWith such state of affairs it
would be a fallacy to dream about the goals of sus-
tainable development and gender equality There is an
instant need to take measures to lift the social
personal and professional
status of women bringing
them shoulder to shoulder
with men These particular
measures constitute a pro-
cess which is known as ldquoWomen Empowermentrdquo
Providing better education and employment opportu-
nities to women ensuring their better health provid-
ing justice and ensuring professional equivalence are
the few methods of women empowerment

LunaVenture Beyond Horizons
- Aaryan Aggarwal IX-B
He looked from afar at his towering creation A re-
mote island in the Pacific Ocean seemed like a great
refuge after what had been happening on the Earth
He chose secrecy as his mission had raised many eye-
brows The plan was simple lsquoEscape and start overrsquo
Right now Moon seemed to be the most viable option
in terms of survival The research had been done
Moon was habitable So close to our abode our cos-
mic neighbor the Moon must exist for a reason It-
will not just be a secondary habitat but also be a step-
ping stone for further progress
His meticulously crafted plan was now just minutes
away from execution A team of four explorers would
first leave Earth and explore the Moon to test his hy-
pothesis Once a temporary col-
ony using genetically engi-
neered pods containing human
embryos is set up they would
further analyze the surroundings and find ways to
make it more habitable The lesser gravitational pull
which allowed for a comparatively lower escape ve-
locity made it easier to transport resources from the
Earth or the ISS Sure it would be difficult at first
Earth is unmatched but he knew it was for the greater
good of mankind It would mean more opportunities
and help us understand our place in this universe
Right now we have confined ourselves in a box and
this is the only way to leave it and unleash the won-
ders of the universe In front of his eyes it flew never
to come back

Make the Choice
-Nidhi Mishra VIII-G
My vision reflects its flaming intention
Irsquom steady upon the decision
About which Irsquoll never disclaim
Accepting the outcome never blame
To impulse refer those achieves
Itrsquos your resolve donrsquot quit
There wasnrsquot any lose that grieves
There was just a lesson in it
I turn down to immure oneself
In the decision of mine
I possess optimism in myself
And so I believe everything
will be fine
Though it may be tough
To perceive ones way to success
A dose of victory isnrsquot enough
Itrsquos always limitless
Television Pros and Cons
- Soumya Sheth
What do most of the people do these days to entertain
themselvesEveryone likes to switch ON their televi-
sion sets which is one of the exceptional inventions of
science When our Dads come home tired after office
the first thing they would like to do is switch On the
TV and relax while watching it from his sofa seat
This is because while watching different things that
are broadcasted on TV we forget our worries and re-
grets of the day
However like every good and popular inventions tel-
evision also has its set of some worrying habits that
people get hitched to For example sometimes kids
watch it for extensive time thereby affecting their
studies This is one of the most worrying habit for par-
ents and we should know that ignoring studies is not
good for our future and studying is as much important
for us at this tender age more than anything elseItrsquos
true that television can bring us the knowledge from
across the world We can see different parts of the
world virtually sitting at the same place But we
should know how
we can use this
incredible inven-
tion of science in
the right and bene-
ficial way for us Now-a-days Smart TVs have be-
come even more popular We can even use internet on
those TVs Use Google to search for answers we donrsquot
know use YouTube to understand how things are
made or get our doubts cleared and much much more
To summarize it I would like to urge all my fellow
students to use this precious invention of science in a
way that will benefit you to gain constructive
knowledge and avoid destructive knowledge We
should know that television is not the world but only a
small component of this world Please know that there
are other things in life which we should enjoy too
along with giving utmost importance to our studies

The night before the final examination
-Marisha Nath VIII- C
The night before the final examination appears to all
examinees as the night before the Battle of Waterloo
might have appeared to Napoleon or the Duke of Wel-
lington Our system of education being what it is we
examinees are bound to be anxious about the nature of
the nature of the questions we will have to answer
next day Even an earnest student who has done all
that needs be done by way of nervousness uncertainty
and suspense on the night before the examination The
morning of the examination finds them prostate with
nervous disorder
But this is one side the picture There are students
who may be described as soldiers of fortune They are
daredevil youngsters who do not take their examina-
tions seriously But their lack of preparation is more
than made up for by the short cuts or bazar notes they
have provided themselves with Even on the night
before the examina-
tion they would be
going about their
daily rounds They
may be found in the parks cafes and restaurants talk-
ing about tips ndashtalking glibly and confidently about
what questions are sure to come The morning of the
examination finds them as cheerful as they were on
the night before
What is needed most is self-confidence and a cool
head True we do not remember all that we have read
when we go to the Examination Hall This does not
mean that we have forgotten them Many things re-
main in the sub ndashconscious region They jump into
consciousness when we face the questions and seri-
ously think of the answers Often such answers score
more marks than prepared ones
Elegance
-Prajna VIII-D
Elegant you be for the universe to learn your versatility
Brighter you shine the orb will know your sustenance
The stars moons and clouds let know your dignity
Apparently it seems your flawless abundance
The ideal triumph mustnrsquot be exaggerated
Till you salve someonersquos hurt
Elegant you be for the universe to learn your versatility
How can you be silent if you donrsquot know your efficiency
One of the values to become successful is simplicity
Through elegance letrsquos spread positivist

Chocoland - Talreja Aastha IV-J
Once I had been to the Chocolate Land
Chocolate all around to the reach of my hand
Toffees candies lollies and bars
In my mouth a crunchy munchy war
White dark nutty and sweet
Just like a dreamy treat
Colourful wrapper shiny and bright
Which one to choose which would be right
Houses made of chocolates and doors made of bars
And out stood there a chocolate car
Soon after it was 6 oclock
And could hear the doorrsquos knock
I woke up in a hurry
Just to realise that it was a dream

The ant and the elephant
- SOUMEN RAO IV-E
Once upon a time in a forest there lived an ant and an
elephant The elephant was the biggest among all the
elephants So he was very proud of himself and used
to criticize everyone and the ant which was the tiniest
among them was very happy and cheerful It used to
help everyone I its own way
All the animals in the forest used to complain about
the egoistic elephant So one day when the ant saw the
elephant walking towards it it immediately thought of
a plan As soon as the elephant came near the ant
said ldquoHello My friendrdquo but the elephant replied rude-
ly saying ldquoYou tiny
ant Get off my way
otherwise yoursquoll get
crushed to deathrdquo
Hearing this ant
challenged the elephant sayingrdquo My big friend I can
make you cryrdquo The ant quickly climbed onto the trunk
of the elephant and ran towards its earit went inside
the ear and started biting the elephants ear The ele-
phant tried to flap its ears but in vain After a few
minutes tears started rolling down its eyes It cried
ldquoPlease come out of my ear I canrsquot bear the painrdquo As
soon as the ant came out the elephant apologized for
its mistake and didnrsquot tease any animals from that day
Grandparents
-Aditya Patil VIII-E
The best place in vacation
A heaven like destination
Their love for us is endless
All their sacrifices are worthless
Great is their surrounding divinity
In front of our ordinary identity
To your grandparents never be rude
Because they are your
coolest dude
They yell at our parents
when we are shouted
With generosity and be-
nevolence they are bounded
Be sure to always meet your grandparents once in a
while and enhance yourself by their presence

Water Conservation
- Paarth Bhagat VII-J
Water is life If there was no water there would be no
life Hence water is the precious gift of God to mother
Earth We cannot imagine our lives without water
We human beings are made up of water it is the only
transportation medium that carries the food molecules
and oxygen to the cells of every body parts to help the
blood It signifies that water is the most essential in-
gredient to the functioning of life of every organism
So you see living this wonderful life is impossible
without water
Water is the force behind all the industry agriculture
manufacturing and trade and commerce All forms of
energy generation is done using water Be it hydroe-
lectrically projects or thermal power plant or nuclear
power plant water is
the key ingredient in
all of them There
would be no power
without water No
water no life
So it is our responsibility to conserve this life nectar
It is possible only through by changing our outlook
towards this wonderful natural resource We must en-
sure there is no pollution of water bodies by dumping
any waste such as sewage effluents and other toxic
substances We must also ensure there is no emission
of green-house gases into the atmosphere The people
and the government must ensure installation of efflu-
ents and smoke treatment plants at industrial garbage
and sewage units

The kind Fairies -Aditys Patil VIII-E
This story starts with two beautiful babies in a king-
dom called fairyland The babies were very pretty
Their names were Ovi and Riddhi They were growing
pretty well As they grew they became more and
more pretty Over and over they were also fairies and
within 5 years they became young girls Their mother
told them to go to school The girls askedwhere are
the schools There are no schools here Mother said
dont worry you will go to the planet Earth On the
planet Earth there is a very good school named New
Horizon Public School and the short form is nhps We
said ok On the first day of our school we were very
afraid but after a few days we
became more smart than the
others We were getting a lot of
prizes which we shared with
eveyone in the school This
made us and others happy One day We became the
princess of fairyland Our wings were like a rainbow
We were twins and had very long hairs Now I end
my story with a beautiful quote
ALWAYS HELP EACH OTHER LIKE THE
FARIES BECAUSE HELPING PEOPLE IS THE
PATH TO GOD
The Day Irsquoll Never Forget - Saranya Sarangi VII -
It was a day of love and affection
There was no visible sign of caution
But something unfortunate was going to happen
Nobody knew where and when
There was a blast at half past three
In a beauty land called Paradise On Earth
A complete silence and pity hadnrsquot the thee
Perished laid the martyrs
Whom our motherland gave birth
I still remember that scaring sight
The scattered limbs I couldnrsquot see
My heart got filled with grief and fright
No Indian could glee
Terribly writhing the soldiers were seen
Some families languished and some
were crying
So loyal to their country they had been
None of their families were mollifying
Whatever homage to our martyrs we pay
Tiny before their they lay
Salute to their tribute to motherland
To protect us they always walked hand in hand
Little Birdie - Marisha Nath VIII-C
I am a little birdie in the sky
With two wings to fly
I never disturb you
I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom
O human Then why do you steal my FREEDOM
Binding me alone in the cage makes me sad
Donrsquot you know caging a bird is bad
Looking at the sky
I wish I could fly
I never disturb you
I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom
O human Then why do you steal my
FREEDOM

Summers in India - Saranya Sarangi VIII
A hot season beginning from April till May is what we
call summer And thatrsquos the basic rule in India But
thatrsquos not something through which we can define
summers in our country India The sun shining high
above the head increasing the heat and this scorching
heat is something very unique about summers in India
Those ice-lolly stalls roaming down the streets tin-
kling their tiny bells is something special one will nev-
er find in any other country Many people love this
season
Especially the children as they get to eat ice-creams
Many people even donrsquot As they feel that this season
can only make a person dehydrated exhausted and irri-
tated Summer as we think as an unfruitful season is
contrast in reality Schools conduct summer camps
during vacation where stu-
dents can join different aca-
demic and co-curricular
courses to improve them-
selves Many children even spend time with their fami-
lies
Often families plan trips to different places as they get
a very long vacation during this season But now-a-
days due to increasing heat these pleasant summers
are becoming unbearable Every just sweat and sweat
We get a lethargic feeling not ready to do any work
Due to this heat we continually keep the ACs on which
consume a lot of electricity creating trouble for our
mother Earth and us Gradually that charm of the
unique kind of summers will be lost if precautions are
not taken We must really hope and work hard to bring
back our lovely lsquoSummers in Indiarsquo
Exams are good or bad
- Nupoor Teli VIIIndashI
In my humble opinionexams are apressure on the stu-
dents They are forced to study and score good
markswhich can lead to frustration An environmentof
competitivenessof standing first is created for which
students keep on studying day and night without any
recreation It is good to studybut not just for the sake
of gaining marks
Why do we study What is the main intention behind
education Seeking intersresting and fascinating
knowledge as well as facts about the world But now-a
-daysthe main reason for studying is gaining marks If
there are no marksno career andno success This is the
mindset of 70 people of the worldespecially parents
They pressurize their children so much that they get
depressed or sometimes attempt suicide as well
Every two months an exam is conducted Moreo-
verthere are projectssubject-enrichment activi-
tieschapter test sfter every topicnotebookfile submis
sion etcAnd as acherry on top
of the cakewe have the semes-
ter exams of eighty marks as
well What all will the students
do And even if any extra-
curricular activities are being learntthen more extra
studies Just studystudy and study
Why so much of tension on the children Under this
tension only they start cheating As time passes cheat-
ing becomes a habit of their life
I fell that exams should be conducted once a term in
order to evaluate whether the students are clear with
the concepts or notThey shouldnt be pressurized for
their marksbut should be made understand their mis-
takes Let them choose their own career options on
their own Help them knowwhat they like to study and
what they want to do in their life So dont pressurize
students for what they dont likeand encourage them in
what they do After allthey are only the Rising stars of
the country

Life is magical - Piyush Sahoo VII-H
A new day or a new night
Everything in life seems bright
A new morning or a new evening
Life is full of happening
A life is just like a kite
It may disappear in a sight
Life moves from baby to old
Make your life challenging and bold
Enjoy life the fullest
Never accept less than best
Unlikely life comes to an end
But remember never to bend
Happy sadness victory and loss
Accept it the way it comes
Life can be at times tragical
But make it the most beautiful
Life is magicalhellip
Life is so magicalhellip
Humility -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
Humility is having a heart to treat others with respect
and love Considering people worthy of your love
time and efforts regardless of who they are or what
they have done A person is truly humble when they
are willing to work hard for others expecting nothing
in return
Humility has the power to change a personrsquos perspec-
tive towards life It can make a difference in the way a
person is looked upon by others Doing an act of hum-
bleness can make a personrsquos day Humility is about
not having an ego or considering things below your
dignity or considering yourself greater than others
People often confuse humility with self-respect They
canrsquot make out the difference between being useful to
others and being used by others
It takes courage to be humble
because in the era in which we
live humility is looked upon as
weakness People assume yoursquore not strong enough to
stand up for yourself They think you surrender in-
stead of protesting They will despise and scorn you
but they donrsquot know that you take pleasure in what
you do because they havenrsquot experienced that kind of
joy
So if you do have humility donrsquot draw back from it
because of what others think Whatever you are doing
is for the good of others and you have no need to be
ashamed of that Humbleness will spread from person
to person Who knows maybe your one act of humili-
ty will spread on to help a person in need So be brave
be humble
Mom -Tanvi Sawant VII-C
Oh mom I came to this beautiful world just because

Oh mom I canrsquot say how much yoursquore to me

Oh mom this world is incomplete
without you
Just like the sky without itrsquos bright color bluehellip
Oh mom yoursquore the candle that showed the way in the
dark

And killing all the species helliphellip
They filling me with smoke and death
They are killing themselves

And preventing my green dress
You can save water
you plant a tree
Make a better home for you on me
Recycle things donrsquot throw them awayhellip

OUR FUTURE EARTH - Hiya Purswani VIII-B
We all know the present condition of our environment
around us Inspite of advanced and modern technolo-
gy we humans are still not able to find a solution
Early humans neither they had much technology nor
they had enough intelligence but still in the early ages
the environment was clean making it the reason for
the increasing life span of humans Its a shocking
news to know that the amount of plastic bottles pro-
duced now may lead to increase in plastic pollution
and cause several death Its a great opportunity to be
as a human in this beautiful earth and so its our re-
sponsibility to make it clean In monsoon people cut
down trees to prevent accidents to occur but do we
plant trees in summer to prevent more global warm-
ing We can prevent bad things to happen but not can-
not take that much effort for good things to spread
Have you ever wondered while seeing a tap open how
many taps are left open at the same time in the whole
world It might sound unbelievable there can be a
World War III on water land and fresh air The way
we are thinking about the wastage of water may lead
us to a massive pain Itrsquos truly said by Warren Buffet
sometimes to buy things we need we have to sell
things we do not need This happens in the case of
lacking of intelligence We say every scholar is a true
genius but in my
opinion a person is
genius if he has the
ability to save and
change things in his
own way We all have the ability to save this earth
but our thoughts our ego and our greediness is stop-
ping us to think in a better way Everyone has a good
and a bad side in his life What matters is the part we
choose to act upon This is an excellent thought said
by Sirius Black in the movie Harry Potter Itrsquos time to
bring a change We always have time to do good
things all we need is hope Spreading awareness is the
best idea to bring a change If everyone stops thinking
about their economical needs and start contributing
towards the environment by planting more trees cer-
tainly there will be a beneficial change in this world
Neither do we think about the future nor care about
the present Why not be an optimist and think in a
positive way of life Our studies our needs our
knowledge will not help us in any way if we donʼt
change Its not that easy to plant a tree and care for it a
whole year if we only plant it with all our love nature
is certainly going to care for it Lastly I would like to
end with a quoterdquo Come forth in the light of things
nature will be your teacher
The Small Hours Pranjal Anil Chavan V-C
No more my little song Come back
And now of nights I lay my head on down
to watch the black
And wait the unfailing gray
Oh Sad are winter nights and slow
And sad is a song thatrsquos dumb
And sad it is to lie I know
Another dawn will come

Floods and Destruction
- Nirvi Soni IV-H
India faces occurrence of floods each year in some
parts of Assam during the rainy season Water of river
Brahmaputra rises and enters into many villages
causing great destruction Floods are unavoidable but
we need to take precautions in the following ways by
reducing mining activities building dams growing
more trees etc During floods the weather becomes
wet and gloomy Trees and plants get uprooted This
way floods cause great de-
struction to both life and
property It also becomes dif-
ficult to travel from place to
place Many people are left
homeless The rain water should be harvested and
stored in large storage tanks The harvested rainwater
can be used for washing clothes and cleaning By us-
ing rain water in our daily life we can preserve water
resources
Good Morning Everyone -Vyomi ThakkarVI - H
Come with me wersquoll have some fun
Wersquoll go on a walk
Donrsquot worry will have a great talk
Roaming around the ground
With beautiful birdrsquos sound
We donrsquot know if anything will be found
Wersquoll surely find the crown
Up on the chilled mountain
We saw a beautiful fountain
Surrounded by a beautiful castle
Decorated with the colourful tassel
Just be quiet and keen
Soon you will be the queen
Think before you speak
-Shravya Atreya IX-D
Think before you speak
There are hearts you must please
Think before you speak
You canrsquot undo the harm done after you squeak
Think before you speak
You might have done greater harm than you might
think
Think before you speak
There are still places left for you
to seek
Think before you speak
There is a long way to go before
you sleep
Think before you speak
There are hearts you must
please
Sunrise -Anuradha Singh VII-H
Over the glimmering purple sea
Under the golden sun rise

A sparrow sways upon a tree
staring at his own in the
enamelled sea
Everything is fine
With fading stars and rising light

GLOBAL WARMING - Adhyant Singh VII-F
Global warming refers to the steady rise in the Earthrsquos mean temperature The effect of global
warming had come into sight when polar ice caps started melting this phenomena is called ICE ndash
ALBEDO the ice caps melt faster due to the rise in the temperature This sudden rise in the temperature near
the poles began in 1999 The polar ice caps in Antarctica melt at the rate of 400000000000 tons per year ac-
cording to some scientists it would approximately take 5000 years to melt the total ice on earth In 2013 Inter-
governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) stated that the main cause of Global warming is human inter-
vention like emission of Green house gases like Carbon-Di-Oxide nitrous oxide and methane
These gases trap the heat which is reflected by the Earthrsquos surface thus increasing the temperature and also
destroying the ozone layer which prevents the ultraviolet rays of the sun from reaching the earthrsquos surface Al-
so burning fossil fuel contributes to the problem Effects of global warming have also led to the increase in the
sea level and extreme weather like heat waves and change in the regional pattern of precipitation and the ex-
pansion of desserts A concentrated and focused effort by the entire humanity can curb down the impact of
Global warming and also prevent it Planting more trees to control the amount of carbon-di-oxide eliminating
the use of chlorofluorocarbon or (CFCrsquoS) are a few steps All the countries have signed up with the United Na-
tions Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to prevent the doomsday of Earth So to prevent
earthrsquos doomsday we all must work together
Itrsquos not too late there is still timehellipBefore the earth ends and we whinehellipSo keep on marching and planting
greens To end Global Warming and Make our planet greenhellip
What will happen without Instagram
- Kaavya Chaudhary VII-F
Instagram Instagram Instagram
I was hearing it from everyone
I asked who was the inventor
Nobody knew the answer to my question
Mobiles Mobiles Mobiles
I was able to see them everywhere
I asked who was the inventor
Again nobody was aware
I wondered why was it like so
Why is it they donrsquot know
There was one time we were
engrossed in books
Now we care more about our looks
Instagram wonrsquot give you a job
You will have to study and top
Your fellow followers wonrsquot help either
If you donrsquot have a job no one will bother
I am a tree
- Yashawini Pillai
I am a tree
With a dark green crown
And a thick strong trunk
Above the ground
I give you food
I give you fruits
I give you medicine
I give you wood
I need some sunlight
And some fresh air
I need some water
And your loving care

The Night - Matangi Rajesh VII-D
Its the night
The moon is white
When we switch off the light
What a beautiful sight
After this comes the sun bright
There is no more artificial light
This is the time to start your diet
To go for a run wearing tights
Then comes the evening when
you have snacks light
And fly a big colorful kite
or include your sibling in a pillow fight
Again comes the night
A moon which is white
We switch off the light
A beautiful sight

Hyperloop -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
Human inventions have baffled the world They are
innumerable ranging from revolutionizing
smartphones to not-so-breathtaking ice cream cones
but they play a role in our life just the same The
things which are commonplace to us now were unbe-
knownst to people once upon a time For the people of
the 19th century the car was a thing of the future until
in 1885 Karl Benz ran his first car on the road Then
for centuries people took the prospect of of flying like
the birds as only a wild possibility which was made
possible in 1903 when the Wright Brothers flew the
first plane
What is the thing of the future for us Well we are the
future modifying and bettering the things that have
been made and crating stuff that we didnt even dare
to imagine about The Hyperloop fulfills both aspects
of the definition a very advanced model of our faith-
ful train and yet a brand new idea to scale greater
heights The Hyperloop is an ideal mode of efficient
transport Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane
with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing
speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt have to
ace the two types of friction that every other vehicle
has to face Air resistance and ground friction The
pods of the Hyperloop are propelled through a depres-
surized tub Since it is almost vacuum very little air
resistance can be offered inside the tube Due to this
the energy required to travel is also very less The Hy-
perloops unique technology uses magnetic levitation
to guide and lift the pods of the rail Since the pod is
not in contact with the ground there is no friction act-
ing on itThe first Hyperloop ndash virgin Hyperloop one
is set to run with passengers as early as 2021 and is
created by SpaceX and Tesla
The mastermind behind the Hyperloop is Elon Musk
who first published a 58 page white-paper on the web-
site of his company-Space X It was available to all
and was titled Hyperloop alpha The Hyperloop may
be the pioneer of a whole new era of transportation
traveling a distance which would otherwise take 12
hours in just I hour it has crossed all known bounda-
ries and created higher limits for us to reach and reach
we must for when time is money and money is time
an option that saves both needs to be used
Exams are good or bad -Nupoor Teli VIII
In my humble opinion exams are pressure on the stu-
dents They are forced to study and score good marks
which can lead to frustration An environment of com-
petitiveness of standing first is created for which stu-
dents keep on studying day and night without any rec-
reation It is good to study but not just for the sake of
gaining marks
Why do we study What is the main intention behind
education Seeking interesting and fascinating
knowledge as well as facts about the world But now-a
-days the main reason for studying is gaining marks
If there are no marks no career and no success This
is the mindset of 70 people of the world especially
parents They pressurize their children so much that
they get depressed or sometimes attempt suicide as
wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-
ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities
chapter test after every topic notebookfile submis-
sion etc And as cherry on top of the cake we have the
semester exams of eighty marks as well What all will
the students do And even if any extra-curricular ac-
tivities are being learnt then more extra studies Just
study study and study
Why so much of tension on the children Under this
tension only they start cheating As time passes cheat-
ing becomes a habit of their lifeI fell that exams
should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate
whether the students are clear with the concepts or
not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but
should be made understand their mistakes Let them
choose their own career options on their own Help
them know what they like to study and what they want
to do in their life So dont pressurize students for
what they dont like and encourage them in what they
do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the
country

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B
Life is all about interactions You meet people and
you interact You observe them consciously or sub-
consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us
more than we even realise Some people leave a last-
ing impression on us and entirely change the course of
life for better or for worse Some people influence us
help us go further and make all the difference
I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-
tial people They have taken care of me ever since I
came into this world They are the ones who wish the
best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-
cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel
no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-
come a part of my personality They are the ones who
helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me
to be better
When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are
the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-
takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique
learning experience It has made me realise how eve-
rything they do has a reason They are the ones who
have taught me the importance of the little things in
life They are the ones who have helped me recognize
and follow my passion The very thought of them not
being a part of my life is scary to the least as without
them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am
today and whatever I have achieved is all because of
them and I am very grateful of that
Eyesight
-Aditi Shenoy VIII-F
The tired little girl went to bed
Recollecting the days bygone
Seeing them in her dreams
As the day she was born
Trying to see the world
With her little eyes
But the sun with his brightness
Wouldnt let her catch the sights
The girl still eager
And curious to see the world around her
Again opened her eyes
But her vision was blurred
Still she did not lose hope
Which flowed through her blood
Encouraging and pushing her
To see the world further
Her heart beating fast
Her enthusiasm increasing
She slowly tried to see
With her eyes continuously blinking
Starting to lose hope
She was ready to give up
But curiosity got the upper hand
And pushed her forward
With her hope again rising
and strength in her eyesight
She is finally seeing the world
With wide open eyes

Conquering the space
-Marisha Nath VIII-C
ldquoThere is no failure in Science it is only continual
effort to conquer the unknown On the way even if we
face failure it rather adds more value to our effort for
our next journey to know the unknownrdquo
Chandrayan-2 Indiarsquos Moon Mission The dream of
entire India to land on moon and become the 4th Na-
tion in the world to put its flag on the soil of moon
after USSR USA amp China
ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launched
Chandrayan-2 on 22nd July 2019 from Bengaluru
(Satish Dhawan Space Center) under the command of
ISRO chief K Shivan It consists of ORBITER
LANDER amp Lunar Rover PRAGYAN Like Chandra-
yan-1(22nd Oct2008) it was Indiarsquos indigenous moon
mission
It touched the Moon Surface on Saturday early morn-
ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-
ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-
ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of
moon it lost contact with the ground station Because
of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be
monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m
(approx) away from its assigned location near
SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still
orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange
signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it
The ORBITER which will remain active for another
12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-
owed portion of the moon for the first time in history
with the help of its high-resolution camera
The entire Nation irrespective of their field of
knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front
of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of
VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true
Indians who always dream progress and development
of their motherland But our heart never accepts this
as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement
for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-
pose of our mission
But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at
this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring
country quoting this as a big failure on part of India
blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos
money on this
Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will
be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to
this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other
nations on such missions
Further I should say that India is not new in the field
of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-
TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975
It was named after famous scientist of ancient India
ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested
for the first time the HELIOCENTRIC THEORY
(Sun at the center and all planets revolve around the
Sun) of the Solar System much earlier than ready for
New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 57
COPERNICUS as believed in the western world
Other countries might have moon on their flags but
we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is
great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are
whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-
rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is
only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the
unknown and its continual application for the benefit
of the mankind)rdquo
Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by
various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-
PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-
cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958
onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as
46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was
attempted out of which only 21 was successful
Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-
tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the
overall attempts conducted by other Nations
USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-
NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was
planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January
SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR
successfully on moon
NASA after many attempts was successful to send
first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th
July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk
on moon
Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-
clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-
SION MANGAL for our next moon mission

We humans made strong big buildings
And thatrsquos what we think is great
But look deep in nature
You will find trees plants and Animals everywhere
Some may be mild And some may be wild
Mother nature provides us with our needs
And still we use it for our greeds
Letrsquos join hands together
To save this marvelous creation

Anger Management
- Sfurti Kumbhar IX-A
AngerhellipThe worst of emotions It causes a LOT of
problems Like damaged friendships separated fami-
lies to list a few The list is long But as many people
have tried and failed controlling anger can be impos-
sible at times when the little fuse in your brain blows
off Let us discuss controlling anger today
Basically anger management seems and sounds im-
possible But as it turns out it isnrsquot Itrsquos really simple
To be honest I am a cranky person Even the slightest
bit of annoying thing or the face of an irritating person
blows my fuse off So well yeah Irsquom trying to get it
under control Sort of
Impossible right Managing anger sounds easy You
can distract yourself from the situation Permanently
fix an imaginary meter in your brain which indicates
anger level My meter is always near 50-60 When I
say that Irsquom a cranky person you can see that I mean
it
As I was saying the meter Anytime you feel that the
meter is rising just find some ways to control it Like
the classic ldquodrink cool water to cool down your warm
headrdquo or breathe Listen to your fav music Or ask
yourself this simple question
ldquoIs getting angry at this person or screaming at them
going to improve my day in any way whatsoeverrdquo
If the answer is yes go ahead Scream all that you
want at the person and improve your day But if the
answer is no STOP yourself in time Maybe make
yourself an anger dice Or breathe in Out And may-
be the classic as mentioned above
Frankly these ways have helped me to reduce my
ldquofuse blowing offrdquo times since grade 4 Anger may be
one of the smartest issues but we are smarter
You are a masterpiece - Tisha Gangar VIII-A
There are songs in your eyes
Singing lullabies
The voice is so pretty
That it charms in the whole city
There is dance in your smile
With moves in a pile
You make people laugh
With dance as your better half
There is a magical art
Right inside your heart
Painting pictures which create
memories
That are soothing just like a
breeze
You are a Masterpiece
With an end number of skills
Creativity is your strength
Keep safe till the end
Friend

Monsoon -Isha Bhanushali VIII
The most alluring part in monsoon season is the way
people tackle them Every where you scan people are
struggling back to reach their home back safely and it
indeed gives you a sense of achievement when you
reach home without getting drained by the gushing
water the automobiles blow on youWell my case is a
little bit different Every time I attempt not to step in-
side the puddle the next step will certainly be inside
it
It was raining heavily that day and unlike my usual
days it was a special one I got dispersed from my
classes by 600 and not aware about the conditions
outside I stepped outside expecting my van to pick
me up Suddenly there was gloomy all around and
there was silence everywhere (huh Because the light
went off) and to add insult to injury I got a call from
my Sir that the van will be com-
ing 1 hour late
I after a while made up my
mind I will set out and go on
my ownI took my umbrella and set out with my
friend The roads were all muddy and the water
reached up to my ankle The situation got testified as
it started raining heavily We all expected the rain to
stop after a while but it was adamant throwing its
tantrums on us All over the road there were vehicles
parked and there was no way to move
But not giving up we carried forward to reach our des-
tination After a long tiring journey of 1km (which
took us almost 1hr) we reached our home safely I had
a feeling of accomplishing a big feat that day
But the climax is here
I had to listen to my Moms scolding
Yes because I had stepped inside a big puddle
Soldier - Marisha Nath VIII-C
Dear soldier you sacrifice yourself for your nation

You are our savior
You are in the list of Godrsquos golden fame
But alas No book mentions your name

return Discriminate these women Consider them
inferior I think that only about 15 of men give
equal opportunities and rights to women
This number is increasing no doubt but then this is a
slow processMen work approximately 6 ndash 8 hours a
day Women on the other hand work at least 16
hours a day Yet men get salary and women in some
cases donrsquot
To all the men and boys reading this I have a few
questions for youDo you have the guts to perform all
housework with 5 guests in the house Do you have
enough courage to change your sur-
name after marriage Do you have
the guts to leave your ancestral home
where you have lived for at least 23
years Are you ready to be dominated
by women More importantly are you ready to listen
to pungent words from your mother-in-law And of
course do you guys have courage to bear a child for 9
months and 9 days and give birth and nurture the ba-
by
Giving birth is simultaneous to fracturing 20 ndash 21
bones at once Did men know this And yet they con-
sider women weak They think that because wersquore
women we cannot thinkIf we cannot think who is
Marie Curie If we are weak who delivers kids
Women arenrsquot any different They are children of
gods They arenrsquot your personal secretaries they are
your partnersOnly a woman knows how much suffer-
ing women go through And yet women are discrimi-
nated daily
What women want is love and respect They work
hard for it they toil day and night and what they get
ishellipabsolutely nothing
Is this right
Submission to Peer Pressure -Akshat Mishra IX -G
ldquoHey Mohan When did you get this new iPhone-Xrdquo
we asked him in surprise as we knew the financial
condition of his family ldquoMy cousin gifted it to merdquo
quipped Mohan sheepishly All the boys resumed
playing but I knew there was something amissPeer
pressure is becoming increasingly inevitable amongst
teenagers One may argue that it is a part of human
nature It may be pivotal for a human being but its
darker side is certainly the more powerful one
People are easily succumbing to peer pressure without
realising its consequences Just to gain respect in
someonersquos eyes they are even ready to quarrel with
their parents and ward their attention from their nec-
essary activities A recent survey suggested that the
maximum people in a rave are a group of teenagers
The clutches of peer pressure are so strong that people
arenrsquot being able to listen even to their conscience
The youth mostly is just littering around the streets
smoking cigarettes boozing or becoming a victim to
social networks sites like Facebook or Instagram Hu-
man resource is the most valuable resource that we
have and the youth are supposed to replenish this re-
source not just to become egoists The are the future
of the planet but sadly they arenrsquot forging the path for
mankind that they are supposed to
Hopefully there is some resistance against this social
evil in modern days Such people have sworn to stay
adamant and not stray from the rightful path These
days of hope do believe in working for the greater
good and are spreading awareness and showing the
society that peer pressure is deleterious sort individual
growth and well being

ldquoFreedom of Press in Democracyrdquo
- Poorvi Sanu IX-G
A free press and a free judiciary are two very important
cornerstones of a democracy Especially in the modern
era of widely accessible news and innumerable infor-
mation at our fingertips freedom of press is highly valued
liberty that citizens should be aware of and know the rea-
son why it is given to us as Indians Freedom means those
people who state the liberty or right and privileged to
speak according to their will
Freedom is that opportunity which we should never avoid
and in all bad situations it gives us all right to handle the
problems in our own innovative and thoughtful way Press
and media are the vital way to express and speech some
views and opinions in a democratic country It is the me-
dium of expressing an opinion of the people It justifies
the individual right to speech and expression a coveted
right enshrined in the Indian constitution and the law of
other countries on the globe
The importance of freedom of press lies in the fact that
for most citizens the prospect of personal familiarity with
newsworthy events is unrealistic In seeking out news the
media therefore acts for the public in large it is the means
by which people receive free flow of information and ide-
as which is essential to intelligence self-governance that
is in turn democracy For a proper functioning of democ-
racy it is essential that
citizens are informed
about news from vari-
ous parts of the coun-
try and even abroad because only then can they form ra-
tional opinions A citizen surely cannot be expected per-
sonally to gather news to enable him or her to form such
opinions Hence the media plays an important role in a
democracy and serves as an agency of the people to gath-
er news for them
It is for this reason that freedom of press has been empha-
sised in all democratic countries while it was not permit-
ted in feudal or totalitarian regimes
In India the media have a great responsibility also to see
that the news they present is accurate and serve the inter-
est of the people If the media convey false news that may
harm the reputation of a person or a section of society it
may do a great damage since reputation is a valuable asset
for a person
Even if the media subsequently correct a statement the
damage done may be irreparable Hence the media should
take care to carefully investigate any news item before
carefully reporting it
I know of a case were the photograph of a High Court
judge who was known to be upright was shown on a TV
New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 22
channel along with that of a known criminal The alle-
gation against the judge was that he had acquired the
land not in any discretionary quota but in the open
market at the market priceAlso sometimes the media
present twisted or distorted news that may contain an
element of truth but also an element of untruth This
too should be avoided because a half-truth can be
more dangerous than a total lie The media should
avoid giving any slant to news and avoid sensational-
ism and yellow journalism Only then will they gain
the respect of the people and fulfil their true role in a
democracySome newspapers espouse the cause of
only one community
ldquoThey do not judge problems on their merits They
view problems from a communal angle Such newspa-
pers do disservice to the nation On the other hand
some responsible newspapers exercise great restraint
while reporting news about riots between two commu-
nities They never give the identity of the community
which started the riot If there are any casualties they
do not give a community-wise break up lest this
should trigger off a bigger riot
In India most of the newspapers are controlled by
business magnates Such newspapers therefore pro-
mote the interest of the capitalists by given tainted
news They pay no heed even to the genuine prob-
lems of the worker^ farmers artisans and other
weaker sections of the people
The press is the defender and the protector of the
rights and liberties of the people But it can per-
form this role only if it enjoys freedom in publish-
ing news views and reporting It can function ef-
fectively only in an open society where decisions are
made in a democratic manner The press should not be
scared of influential people The press should consider
it their duty to protect the right of the workers and oth-
er downtrodden sections of the people
While the press should enjoy freedom to perform its
role effectively it should not treat such freedom as a
licence to defame anybody It should not publish any
views or support any movement which violates our
Constitution or is against the territorial integrity and
unity of the country
To the conclusion As the worldrsquos largest democracy
India has a duty to ensure that the press has the duty to
disseminate information and express opinions without
excessive censorship Unfortunately in recent years
the right has been increasingly curbed This oppres-
sion of press is an alarming trend as it does not allow
for proper checks and balances on the government and
its activities The people of our country need to re-
member that in order to have a strong democracy they
need a strong and free press

Our Future Earth
- Hiya Purswani VIII B
We all know the present condition of our environment
around us Inspite of advanced and modern technolo-
gy we humans are still not able to find a solution
Early humans neither they had much technology nor
they had enough intelligence but still in the early ages
the environment was clean making it the reason for
the increasing life span of humans Its a shocking
news to know that the amount of plastic bottles pro-
duced now may lead to increase in plastic pollution
and cause several death
Its a great opportunity to be as a human in this beauti-
ful earth and so itrsquos our responsibility to make it
clean In monsoon people cut down trees to prevent
accidents to occur but do we plant trees in summer to
prevent more global warming We can prevent bad
things to happen but not cannot take that much efforts
for good things to spread Have you ever wondered
while seeing a tap open how many taps are left open
at the same time in the whole world It might sound
unbelievable there can be a World War III on water
land and fresh air The way we are thinking about the
wastage of water may lead us to a massive pain I trsquos
truly said by Warren Buffet sometimes to buy things
we need we have to sell things we do not need This
happens in the case of lacking of intelligence We say
every scholar is a true genius but in my opinion a per-
son is genius if he has the ability to save and change
things in his own way We all have the ability to save
this earth but our thoughts our ego and our greedi-
ness is stopping us to think in a better way rdquoEveryone
has a good and a bad side in his life What matters is
the part we choose to act upon rdquoThis is an excellent
thought said by Sirius Black in the movie Harry Pot-
ter Itrsquos time to bring a change
We always have time to do good things all we need is
hope Spreading awareness is the best idea to bring a
change If everyone stops thinking about their eco-
nomical needs and start contributing towards the envi-
ronment by planting more trees certainly there will be
a beneficial change in this world Neither do we think
about the future nor care about the present Why not
be an optimist and think in a positive way of life Our
studies our needs our knowledge will not help us in
any way if we donrsquot change Its not that easy to plant a
tree and care for it a whole year but if we only plant it
with all our love nature is certainly going to care for
it Lastly I would like to end with a quote Come
forth in the light of things nature will be your teach-
er
Endeavor
- Heet Shripal Kankariya VII-G
It is hard to recall the past
but good thoughts are forever
Remember the step you took
May it be stupid or clever
Though the time runs out
your hope should never
Dont lose ittry and endeavor
Do your best even if the conse-
quences make your work the worst
Try and try and make your work better
It is hard to recall the past
but good thoughts are forever
Remember the step you took maybe stupid or clever

The Aloof Humans - A curse to mother
earth - Vaijayanthimala Navneet VIII-J
With all the night strength and gust
Preserving nature is must
Mother Nature has been so lucrative
Letrsquos do something to save her
Something new and creativersquo
Let us get pollution under control
Before mother Earth weeps and implores
Let clean air sweep
Both high and deep
Let the tiny piece of land
Be clean tidy and neat
Let uncontaminated water be
So that everything doesnrsquot
end like the sea
Let the tree stand
lsquoCause it is more alluring than the seven colour band
Without being loquacious
Mother nature is indeed precious
The Little girl
- Bhumika Sharma VI-F
I found in a garage
Near the carriage
A tiny little baby girl
She had cute blue eyes
Which were very small in size
And had beautiful hair with a cute little curl
I wonder why she was there
And she came fromhellipwhere
I then asked a person passing on the road
If he knew the merciless who
kept her near the horses and
toads
The person replied ldquoWho cares
O Madamhellip
hellipFor a girl who is denied by her
dad and mum
I felt very sad and cried
But I saved her lest she died
Who will save many such girls
Imagine a world without these pearls
Treat them with respect and love
The Little Guest - Ashwathy Ganesh VI ndashD
It was rainy season
At home came a pigeon
It made its nest and was a pest
But there came another guest
Who shooed away the little pest
First there was nothing but a basket of twigs
And I watched it eating figs
When the thunder came with the rain
I got a bit scared
But it didnrsquot fly away
Because I took care
Soon there were three small
eggs
Which were taken care of by the guest
The bird is easy to guess
Because it doesnrsquot make a mess
With its red tail
It looked a bit frail
Between the plants green full full
Was the nest of the little Bulbul

The Art of Dharma as per Mahabharata
- Abhishek Singh [Teacher SrSecondary]
Dharma means the Duty or RighteousnessDharma is
subtle many times we are forced to take wrong
means for right means(and ends us like Arjuna in hell)
or reaches wrong ends following right means(like
Yudhishthira in exile)Its like the Ying and Yang
Duryodhanarsquos envy for the Pandvarsquos Indraprastha and
Yudhishthirarsquos greed or addiction to a game of dice
and win more territory was the main cause of war
The envy can result in healthy competitiveness raising
oneself up by making the envious work harder for
rivalrsquos possessions or eternal sickness to pull the rival
downThe envy and greed are both presents even in
the
modern day world the failure
of communism was caused by
envy among citizens while the
capitalist system is stranded by greed The aim of so-
ciety should not be to suppress these feelings among
its citizens but to channelize them productively Envy
is the vice of socialism Greed is the evil of capital-
ism
Dharma is not justice Its difference between Retribu-
tive Justice and forgiveness While a nation with
stronger legal laws can prefer justice over peace the
newly created or war-torn nations with weaker legal
laws should prefer to restore peace and harmony in
society rather than emphasizing justice
Beware You are in for a scare
- Ayush Lonakadi IX-C
I had returned home late but after reaching home I had
wished I had not reached home that day There was no
electricity which just made it creepier When I
reached my room my exhaustion made me forget that
I was famished I lay on the bed scrolling down pic-
tures I had recently clicked I relived happy moments
but someone out there wasnrsquot happy to see me happy
and I noticed a photograph in my phone which be-
mused me ndash not mentioning how frightened I had be-
come
The picture waswashow can I explain The back-
ground was of my house In the photoI was
sleeping Butbut how could that have been possi-
ble I lived alone there was no one to click my photo
while I was sleeping I was petrified with my eyes
wide open and my whole body was horror-struck
Then all the unwanted noises came into focus ndash the
noises from outside noises of something creaking and
the wind forcefully blowing through the thin slit of the
window eerily
I was panic-stricken I
quickly switched my
phone off and kept it on
the table beside and did
not bother about changing my clothes and covered my
face with a blanket and hugged it tightly I could not
even think of sleeping Every second the clock ticked
I hugged the blanket harder My face and chest were
drenched in sweat I felt some supernatural move-
ments around me something trying to reach out to
me
By then I was praying to God to take me away from
that place I was ready to die Then something hap-
pened and I became frantic from tip to toe lsquoIt is Tues-
day todayrsquo The virtual assistant of my phone said but
I clearly remembered that I had switched off my
phone Who asked the question It was this trauma
that I couldnrsquot bear and today I am here telling you
this story after turning into a roaming soul Look to
your right I am right beside you

Travelling Aaryan Aggarwal IX - B
Travelling is an experience It doesnrsquot matter where
you travel Every place is great in its own ways You
could go to a culturally rich yet underdeveloped place
or you could go to an advanced metropolitan place
You could travel slow paced or you could be adven-
turous and go off the beaten path You could go to the
beach you could go to a museum It wonrsquot matter as
wherever you go you will always get a new and
different experience The experiences will open your
mind to a whole new world and culture which will
change your understanding and preconceived notions
about that place You will also get an opportunity to
detoxify yourself from social media Thus I believe
that travelling is more than just a hobby and can
change your entire thought process and state of
mind
Wallflower
- Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
She lived under a rock
More by force than by will
She lived there so long
She had nothing to fight with
All these people pushing her down
Her feeble frame could fight no long
She vowed to never stop the struggle
Until she had on her temples the crown
Declaring to the world her change
after years bygone
From being the young shy girl they saw
But all this struggle slowly had her crumbling
As she withered her dreams fading
Cause promises are sometimes left undone
When fate decides to yield a gun
And the world never saw the light
Of a wallflower wishing to shine so bright
Being Myself -Nidhi Mishra VIII-G
I did never lie to myself
Never strived to be someone else
And so I never shy
To look myself straight in the eye
I did never hide myself
And lavish a priceless gift
Having lsquolifersquo as its spell
Being myself Irsquoll uplift
Life is too short
Donrsquot be someone else
A onetime offer we have got
Even more precious than a thousand jewels

Women Empowerment - Devangi Dongre VII-B
The abilities of women in making decisions educa-
tion and profession have been largely suppressed
since ages considering them inferior to men The sit-
uation is worst in underdeveloped and developing na-
tions where women in a family are not allowed to
take financial decisions or decide on matters regard-
ing their own educationWith such state of affairs it
would be a fallacy to dream about the goals of sus-
tainable development and gender equality There is an
instant need to take measures to lift the social
personal and professional
status of women bringing
them shoulder to shoulder
with men These particular
measures constitute a pro-
cess which is known as ldquoWomen Empowermentrdquo
Providing better education and employment opportu-
nities to women ensuring their better health provid-
ing justice and ensuring professional equivalence are
the few methods of women empowerment

He looked from afar at his towering creation A re-
mote island in the Pacific Ocean seemed like a great
refuge after what had been happening on the Earth
He chose secrecy as his mission had raised many eye-
brows The plan was simple lsquoEscape and start overrsquo
Right now Moon seemed to be the most viable option
in terms of survival The research had been done
Moon was habitable So close to our abode our cos-
mic neighbor the Moon must exist for a reason It-
will not just be a secondary habitat but also be a step-
ping stone for further progress
His meticulously crafted plan was now just minutes
away from execution A team of four explorers would
first leave Earth and explore the Moon to test his hy-
pothesis Once a temporary col-
ony using genetically engi-
neered pods containing human
embryos is set up they would
further analyze the surroundings and find ways to
make it more habitable The lesser gravitational pull
which allowed for a comparatively lower escape ve-
locity made it easier to transport resources from the
Earth or the ISS Sure it would be difficult at first
Earth is unmatched but he knew it was for the greater
good of mankind It would mean more opportunities
and help us understand our place in this universe
Right now we have confined ourselves in a box and
this is the only way to leave it and unleash the won-
ders of the universe In front of his eyes it flew never
to come back

Television Pros and Cons
- Soumya Sheth
What do most of the people do these days to entertain
themselvesEveryone likes to switch ON their televi-
sion sets which is one of the exceptional inventions of
science When our Dads come home tired after office
the first thing they would like to do is switch On the
TV and relax while watching it from his sofa seat
This is because while watching different things that
are broadcasted on TV we forget our worries and re-
grets of the day
However like every good and popular inventions tel-
evision also has its set of some worrying habits that
people get hitched to For example sometimes kids
watch it for extensive time thereby affecting their
studies This is one of the most worrying habit for par-
ents and we should know that ignoring studies is not
good for our future and studying is as much important
for us at this tender age more than anything elseItrsquos
true that television can bring us the knowledge from
across the world We can see different parts of the
world virtually sitting at the same place But we
should know how
we can use this
incredible inven-
tion of science in
the right and bene-
ficial way for us Now-a-days Smart TVs have be-
come even more popular We can even use internet on
those TVs Use Google to search for answers we donrsquot
know use YouTube to understand how things are
made or get our doubts cleared and much much more
To summarize it I would like to urge all my fellow
students to use this precious invention of science in a
way that will benefit you to gain constructive
knowledge and avoid destructive knowledge We
should know that television is not the world but only a
small component of this world Please know that there
are other things in life which we should enjoy too
along with giving utmost importance to our studies

The night before the final examination
-Marisha Nath VIII- C
The night before the final examination appears to all
examinees as the night before the Battle of Waterloo
might have appeared to Napoleon or the Duke of Wel-
lington Our system of education being what it is we
examinees are bound to be anxious about the nature of
the nature of the questions we will have to answer
next day Even an earnest student who has done all
that needs be done by way of nervousness uncertainty
and suspense on the night before the examination The
morning of the examination finds them prostate with
nervous disorder
But this is one side the picture There are students
who may be described as soldiers of fortune They are
daredevil youngsters who do not take their examina-
tions seriously But their lack of preparation is more
than made up for by the short cuts or bazar notes they
have provided themselves with Even on the night
before the examina-
tion they would be
going about their
daily rounds They
may be found in the parks cafes and restaurants talk-
ing about tips ndashtalking glibly and confidently about
what questions are sure to come The morning of the
examination finds them as cheerful as they were on
the night before
What is needed most is self-confidence and a cool
head True we do not remember all that we have read
when we go to the Examination Hall This does not
mean that we have forgotten them Many things re-
main in the sub ndashconscious region They jump into
consciousness when we face the questions and seri-
ously think of the answers Often such answers score
more marks than prepared ones

Colourful wrapper shiny and bright
Which one to choose which would be right

And out stood there a chocolate car
Soon after it was 6 oclock
And could hear the doorrsquos knock
I woke up in a hurry
Just to realise that it was a dream

The ant and the elephant
- SOUMEN RAO IV-E
Once upon a time in a forest there lived an ant and an
elephant The elephant was the biggest among all the
elephants So he was very proud of himself and used
to criticize everyone and the ant which was the tiniest
among them was very happy and cheerful It used to
help everyone I its own way
All the animals in the forest used to complain about
the egoistic elephant So one day when the ant saw the
elephant walking towards it it immediately thought of
a plan As soon as the elephant came near the ant
said ldquoHello My friendrdquo but the elephant replied rude-
ly saying ldquoYou tiny
ant Get off my way
otherwise yoursquoll get
crushed to deathrdquo
Hearing this ant
challenged the elephant sayingrdquo My big friend I can
make you cryrdquo The ant quickly climbed onto the trunk
of the elephant and ran towards its earit went inside
the ear and started biting the elephants ear The ele-
phant tried to flap its ears but in vain After a few
minutes tears started rolling down its eyes It cried
ldquoPlease come out of my ear I canrsquot bear the painrdquo As
soon as the ant came out the elephant apologized for
its mistake and didnrsquot tease any animals from that day
Grandparents

The best place in vacation
A heaven like destination

They yell at our parents
when we are shouted
With generosity and be-
nevolence they are bounded
Be sure to always meet your grandparents once in a
while and enhance yourself by their presence

Water Conservation
- Paarth Bhagat VII-J
Water is life If there was no water there would be no
life Hence water is the precious gift of God to mother
Earth We cannot imagine our lives without water
We human beings are made up of water it is the only
transportation medium that carries the food molecules
and oxygen to the cells of every body parts to help the
blood It signifies that water is the most essential in-
gredient to the functioning of life of every organism
So you see living this wonderful life is impossible
without water
Water is the force behind all the industry agriculture
manufacturing and trade and commerce All forms of
energy generation is done using water Be it hydroe-
lectrically projects or thermal power plant or nuclear
power plant water is
the key ingredient in
all of them There
would be no power
without water No
water no life
So it is our responsibility to conserve this life nectar
It is possible only through by changing our outlook
towards this wonderful natural resource We must en-
sure there is no pollution of water bodies by dumping
any waste such as sewage effluents and other toxic
substances We must also ensure there is no emission
of green-house gases into the atmosphere The people
and the government must ensure installation of efflu-
ents and smoke treatment plants at industrial garbage
and sewage units

The kind Fairies -Aditys Patil VIII-E
This story starts with two beautiful babies in a king-
dom called fairyland The babies were very pretty
Their names were Ovi and Riddhi They were growing
pretty well As they grew they became more and
more pretty Over and over they were also fairies and
within 5 years they became young girls Their mother
told them to go to school The girls askedwhere are
the schools There are no schools here Mother said
dont worry you will go to the planet Earth On the
planet Earth there is a very good school named New
Horizon Public School and the short form is nhps We
said ok On the first day of our school we were very
afraid but after a few days we
became more smart than the
others We were getting a lot of
prizes which we shared with
eveyone in the school This
made us and others happy One day We became the
princess of fairyland Our wings were like a rainbow
We were twins and had very long hairs Now I end
my story with a beautiful quote
ALWAYS HELP EACH OTHER LIKE THE
FARIES BECAUSE HELPING PEOPLE IS THE
PATH TO GOD
The Day Irsquoll Never Forget - Saranya Sarangi VII -
It was a day of love and affection
There was no visible sign of caution
But something unfortunate was going to happen
Nobody knew where and when
There was a blast at half past three
In a beauty land called Paradise On Earth
A complete silence and pity hadnrsquot the thee
Perished laid the martyrs
Whom our motherland gave birth
I still remember that scaring sight
The scattered limbs I couldnrsquot see
My heart got filled with grief and fright
No Indian could glee
Terribly writhing the soldiers were seen
Some families languished and some
were crying
So loyal to their country they had been
None of their families were mollifying
Whatever homage to our martyrs we pay
Tiny before their they lay
Salute to their tribute to motherland
To protect us they always walked hand in hand
Little Birdie - Marisha Nath VIII-C
I am a little birdie in the sky
With two wings to fly
I never disturb you
I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom
O human Then why do you steal my FREEDOM
Binding me alone in the cage makes me sad
Donrsquot you know caging a bird is bad
Looking at the sky
I wish I could fly
I never disturb you
I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom
O human Then why do you steal my
FREEDOM

Summers in India - Saranya Sarangi VIII
A hot season beginning from April till May is what we
call summer And thatrsquos the basic rule in India But
thatrsquos not something through which we can define
summers in our country India The sun shining high
above the head increasing the heat and this scorching
heat is something very unique about summers in India
Those ice-lolly stalls roaming down the streets tin-
kling their tiny bells is something special one will nev-
er find in any other country Many people love this
season
Especially the children as they get to eat ice-creams
Many people even donrsquot As they feel that this season
can only make a person dehydrated exhausted and irri-
tated Summer as we think as an unfruitful season is
contrast in reality Schools conduct summer camps
during vacation where stu-
dents can join different aca-
demic and co-curricular
courses to improve them-
selves Many children even spend time with their fami-
lies
Often families plan trips to different places as they get
a very long vacation during this season But now-a-
days due to increasing heat these pleasant summers
are becoming unbearable Every just sweat and sweat
We get a lethargic feeling not ready to do any work
Due to this heat we continually keep the ACs on which
consume a lot of electricity creating trouble for our
mother Earth and us Gradually that charm of the
unique kind of summers will be lost if precautions are
not taken We must really hope and work hard to bring
back our lovely lsquoSummers in Indiarsquo
Exams are good or bad
- Nupoor Teli VIIIndashI
In my humble opinionexams are apressure on the stu-
dents They are forced to study and score good
markswhich can lead to frustration An environmentof
competitivenessof standing first is created for which
students keep on studying day and night without any
recreation It is good to studybut not just for the sake
of gaining marks
Why do we study What is the main intention behind
education Seeking intersresting and fascinating
knowledge as well as facts about the world But now-a
-daysthe main reason for studying is gaining marks If
there are no marksno career andno success This is the
mindset of 70 people of the worldespecially parents
They pressurize their children so much that they get
depressed or sometimes attempt suicide as well
Every two months an exam is conducted Moreo-
verthere are projectssubject-enrichment activi-
tieschapter test sfter every topicnotebookfile submis
sion etcAnd as acherry on top
of the cakewe have the semes-
ter exams of eighty marks as
well What all will the students
do And even if any extra-
curricular activities are being learntthen more extra
studies Just studystudy and study
Why so much of tension on the children Under this
tension only they start cheating As time passes cheat-
ing becomes a habit of their life
I fell that exams should be conducted once a term in
order to evaluate whether the students are clear with
the concepts or notThey shouldnt be pressurized for
their marksbut should be made understand their mis-
takes Let them choose their own career options on
their own Help them knowwhat they like to study and
what they want to do in their life So dont pressurize
students for what they dont likeand encourage them in
what they do After allthey are only the Rising stars of
the country

Life is magical - Piyush Sahoo VII-H
A new day or a new night
Everything in life seems bright
A new morning or a new evening
Life is full of happening
A life is just like a kite
It may disappear in a sight
Life moves from baby to old
Make your life challenging and bold
Enjoy life the fullest
Never accept less than best
Unlikely life comes to an end
But remember never to bend
Happy sadness victory and loss
Accept it the way it comes
Life can be at times tragical
But make it the most beautiful
Life is magicalhellip
Life is so magicalhellip
Humility -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
Humility is having a heart to treat others with respect
and love Considering people worthy of your love
time and efforts regardless of who they are or what
they have done A person is truly humble when they
are willing to work hard for others expecting nothing
in return
Humility has the power to change a personrsquos perspec-
tive towards life It can make a difference in the way a
person is looked upon by others Doing an act of hum-
bleness can make a personrsquos day Humility is about
not having an ego or considering things below your
dignity or considering yourself greater than others
People often confuse humility with self-respect They
canrsquot make out the difference between being useful to
others and being used by others
It takes courage to be humble
because in the era in which we
live humility is looked upon as
weakness People assume yoursquore not strong enough to
stand up for yourself They think you surrender in-
stead of protesting They will despise and scorn you
but they donrsquot know that you take pleasure in what
you do because they havenrsquot experienced that kind of
joy
So if you do have humility donrsquot draw back from it
because of what others think Whatever you are doing
is for the good of others and you have no need to be
ashamed of that Humbleness will spread from person
to person Who knows maybe your one act of humili-
ty will spread on to help a person in need So be brave
be humble
Mom -Tanvi Sawant VII-C
Oh mom I came to this beautiful world just because
of youhellip
Mom what would I do without you
Oh mom there are thorns on the way
But you manage to get me awayhellip
Oh mom I canrsquot say how much yoursquore to me
Mom just promise me that yoursquoll and
always be with mehellip
Oh mom this world is incomplete
without you
Just like the sky without itrsquos bright color bluehellip
Oh mom yoursquore the candle that showed the way in the
dark
My dear mom you made my life spark

OUR FUTURE EARTH - Hiya Purswani VIII-B
We all know the present condition of our environment
around us Inspite of advanced and modern technolo-
gy we humans are still not able to find a solution
Early humans neither they had much technology nor
they had enough intelligence but still in the early ages
the environment was clean making it the reason for
the increasing life span of humans Its a shocking
news to know that the amount of plastic bottles pro-
duced now may lead to increase in plastic pollution
and cause several death Its a great opportunity to be
as a human in this beautiful earth and so its our re-
sponsibility to make it clean In monsoon people cut
down trees to prevent accidents to occur but do we
plant trees in summer to prevent more global warm-
ing We can prevent bad things to happen but not can-
not take that much effort for good things to spread
Have you ever wondered while seeing a tap open how
many taps are left open at the same time in the whole
world It might sound unbelievable there can be a
World War III on water land and fresh air The way
we are thinking about the wastage of water may lead
us to a massive pain Itrsquos truly said by Warren Buffet
sometimes to buy things we need we have to sell
things we do not need This happens in the case of
lacking of intelligence We say every scholar is a true
genius but in my
opinion a person is
genius if he has the
ability to save and
change things in his
own way We all have the ability to save this earth
but our thoughts our ego and our greediness is stop-
ping us to think in a better way Everyone has a good
and a bad side in his life What matters is the part we
choose to act upon This is an excellent thought said
by Sirius Black in the movie Harry Potter Itrsquos time to
bring a change We always have time to do good
things all we need is hope Spreading awareness is the
best idea to bring a change If everyone stops thinking
about their economical needs and start contributing
towards the environment by planting more trees cer-
tainly there will be a beneficial change in this world
Neither do we think about the future nor care about
the present Why not be an optimist and think in a
positive way of life Our studies our needs our
knowledge will not help us in any way if we donʼt
change Its not that easy to plant a tree and care for it a
whole year if we only plant it with all our love nature
is certainly going to care for it Lastly I would like to
end with a quoterdquo Come forth in the light of things
nature will be your teacher
The Small Hours Pranjal Anil Chavan V-C
No more my little song Come back
And now of nights I lay my head on down
to watch the black
And wait the unfailing gray
Oh Sad are winter nights and slow
And sad is a song thatrsquos dumb
And sad it is to lie I know
Another dawn will come

Floods and Destruction
- Nirvi Soni IV-H
India faces occurrence of floods each year in some
parts of Assam during the rainy season Water of river
Brahmaputra rises and enters into many villages
causing great destruction Floods are unavoidable but
we need to take precautions in the following ways by
reducing mining activities building dams growing
more trees etc During floods the weather becomes
wet and gloomy Trees and plants get uprooted This
way floods cause great de-
struction to both life and
property It also becomes dif-
ficult to travel from place to
place Many people are left
homeless The rain water should be harvested and
stored in large storage tanks The harvested rainwater
can be used for washing clothes and cleaning By us-
ing rain water in our daily life we can preserve water
resources
Good Morning Everyone -Vyomi ThakkarVI - H
Come with me wersquoll have some fun
Wersquoll go on a walk
Donrsquot worry will have a great talk
Roaming around the ground
With beautiful birdrsquos sound
We donrsquot know if anything will be found
Wersquoll surely find the crown
Up on the chilled mountain
We saw a beautiful fountain
Surrounded by a beautiful castle
Decorated with the colourful tassel
Just be quiet and keen
Soon you will be the queen
Think before you speak
-Shravya Atreya IX-D
Think before you speak
There are hearts you must please
Think before you speak
You canrsquot undo the harm done after you squeak
Think before you speak
You might have done greater harm than you might
think
Think before you speak
There are still places left for you
to seek
Think before you speak
There is a long way to go before
you sleep
Think before you speak
There are hearts you must
please
Sunrise -Anuradha Singh VII-H

Everything is fine

GLOBAL WARMING - Adhyant Singh VII-F
Global warming refers to the steady rise in the Earthrsquos mean temperature The effect of global
warming had come into sight when polar ice caps started melting this phenomena is called ICE ndash
ALBEDO the ice caps melt faster due to the rise in the temperature This sudden rise in the temperature near
the poles began in 1999 The polar ice caps in Antarctica melt at the rate of 400000000000 tons per year ac-
cording to some scientists it would approximately take 5000 years to melt the total ice on earth In 2013 Inter-
governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) stated that the main cause of Global warming is human inter-
vention like emission of Green house gases like Carbon-Di-Oxide nitrous oxide and methane
These gases trap the heat which is reflected by the Earthrsquos surface thus increasing the temperature and also
destroying the ozone layer which prevents the ultraviolet rays of the sun from reaching the earthrsquos surface Al-
so burning fossil fuel contributes to the problem Effects of global warming have also led to the increase in the
sea level and extreme weather like heat waves and change in the regional pattern of precipitation and the ex-
pansion of desserts A concentrated and focused effort by the entire humanity can curb down the impact of
Global warming and also prevent it Planting more trees to control the amount of carbon-di-oxide eliminating
the use of chlorofluorocarbon or (CFCrsquoS) are a few steps All the countries have signed up with the United Na-
tions Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to prevent the doomsday of Earth So to prevent
earthrsquos doomsday we all must work together
Itrsquos not too late there is still timehellipBefore the earth ends and we whinehellipSo keep on marching and planting
greens To end Global Warming and Make our planet greenhellip

The Night - Matangi Rajesh VII-D
Its the night
The moon is white
When we switch off the light
What a beautiful sight
After this comes the sun bright
There is no more artificial light
This is the time to start your diet
To go for a run wearing tights
Then comes the evening when
you have snacks light
And fly a big colorful kite
or include your sibling in a pillow fight
Again comes the night
A moon which is white
We switch off the light
A beautiful sight

heavy duty rockets designs and fabricates some of the most sophisticated satellites In a singular achievement
Indiarsquos Mars Orbiter mission or Mangalyaan an unmanned satellite today racing to rendezvous with the red
planet making India a part of a select club of 6 that have dared to undertake the over 680 million kilometer
journey The Indian Space Research Organization ISRO is the Space Agency of Government of India head-
quartered in the city of Bengaluru Its vision is to ldquoharness space technology ldquofor na-
tional development while pursuing space science research and planter exploration
Some achievements of ISRO in 2017
Launching 104 satellites with one rocket
South Asia Satellite (GSAT- 9) launch
Launch of ISROrsquos Fat Boyrsquo
31 satellites in a single flight
Sending another communication satellite in the space
In 2009 Indians maiden mission to the moon Chandrayaan- 1 brought back the first clinching evidence of the
presence of water on the arched lunar surface In more down to the Earth missions Indian satellites are also
helping locate underground water aquifers for some of the poorest and marginal people of India In a way
Indiarsquos space technology is helping everyone

Hyperloop -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
Human inventions have baffled the world They are
innumerable ranging from revolutionizing
smartphones to not-so-breathtaking ice cream cones
but they play a role in our life just the same The
things which are commonplace to us now were unbe-
knownst to people once upon a time For the people of
the 19th century the car was a thing of the future until
in 1885 Karl Benz ran his first car on the road Then
for centuries people took the prospect of of flying like
the birds as only a wild possibility which was made
possible in 1903 when the Wright Brothers flew the
first plane
What is the thing of the future for us Well we are the
future modifying and bettering the things that have
been made and crating stuff that we didnt even dare
to imagine about The Hyperloop fulfills both aspects
of the definition a very advanced model of our faith-
ful train and yet a brand new idea to scale greater
heights The Hyperloop is an ideal mode of efficient
transport Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane
with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing
speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt have to
ace the two types of friction that every other vehicle
has to face Air resistance and ground friction The
pods of the Hyperloop are propelled through a depres-
surized tub Since it is almost vacuum very little air
resistance can be offered inside the tube Due to this
the energy required to travel is also very less The Hy-
perloops unique technology uses magnetic levitation
to guide and lift the pods of the rail Since the pod is
not in contact with the ground there is no friction act-
ing on itThe first Hyperloop ndash virgin Hyperloop one
is set to run with passengers as early as 2021 and is
created by SpaceX and Tesla
The mastermind behind the Hyperloop is Elon Musk
who first published a 58 page white-paper on the web-
site of his company-Space X It was available to all
and was titled Hyperloop alpha The Hyperloop may
be the pioneer of a whole new era of transportation
traveling a distance which would otherwise take 12
hours in just I hour it has crossed all known bounda-
ries and created higher limits for us to reach and reach
we must for when time is money and money is time
an option that saves both needs to be used
Exams are good or bad -Nupoor Teli VIII
In my humble opinion exams are pressure on the stu-
dents They are forced to study and score good marks
which can lead to frustration An environment of com-
petitiveness of standing first is created for which stu-
dents keep on studying day and night without any rec-
reation It is good to study but not just for the sake of
gaining marks
Why do we study What is the main intention behind
education Seeking interesting and fascinating
knowledge as well as facts about the world But now-a
-days the main reason for studying is gaining marks
If there are no marks no career and no success This
is the mindset of 70 people of the world especially
parents They pressurize their children so much that
they get depressed or sometimes attempt suicide as
wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-
ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities
chapter test after every topic notebookfile submis-
sion etc And as cherry on top of the cake we have the
semester exams of eighty marks as well What all will
the students do And even if any extra-curricular ac-
tivities are being learnt then more extra studies Just
study study and study
Why so much of tension on the children Under this
tension only they start cheating As time passes cheat-
ing becomes a habit of their lifeI fell that exams
should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate
whether the students are clear with the concepts or
not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but
should be made understand their mistakes Let them
choose their own career options on their own Help
them know what they like to study and what they want
to do in their life So dont pressurize students for
what they dont like and encourage them in what they
do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the
country

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B
Life is all about interactions You meet people and
you interact You observe them consciously or sub-
consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us
more than we even realise Some people leave a last-
ing impression on us and entirely change the course of
life for better or for worse Some people influence us
help us go further and make all the difference
I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-
tial people They have taken care of me ever since I
came into this world They are the ones who wish the
best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-
cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel
no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-
come a part of my personality They are the ones who
helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me
to be better
When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are
the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-
takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique
learning experience It has made me realise how eve-
rything they do has a reason They are the ones who
have taught me the importance of the little things in
life They are the ones who have helped me recognize
and follow my passion The very thought of them not
being a part of my life is scary to the least as without
them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am
today and whatever I have achieved is all because of
them and I am very grateful of that
Eyesight
-Aditi Shenoy VIII-F
The tired little girl went to bed
Recollecting the days bygone
Seeing them in her dreams
As the day she was born
Trying to see the world
With her little eyes
But the sun with his brightness
Wouldnt let her catch the sights
The girl still eager
And curious to see the world around her
Again opened her eyes
But her vision was blurred
Still she did not lose hope
Which flowed through her blood
Encouraging and pushing her
To see the world further
Her heart beating fast
Her enthusiasm increasing
She slowly tried to see
With her eyes continuously blinking
Starting to lose hope
She was ready to give up
But curiosity got the upper hand
And pushed her forward
With her hope again rising
and strength in her eyesight
She is finally seeing the world
With wide open eyes

Conquering the space
-Marisha Nath VIII-C
ldquoThere is no failure in Science it is only continual
effort to conquer the unknown On the way even if we
face failure it rather adds more value to our effort for
our next journey to know the unknownrdquo
Chandrayan-2 Indiarsquos Moon Mission The dream of
entire India to land on moon and become the 4th Na-
tion in the world to put its flag on the soil of moon
after USSR USA amp China
ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launched
Chandrayan-2 on 22nd July 2019 from Bengaluru
(Satish Dhawan Space Center) under the command of
ISRO chief K Shivan It consists of ORBITER
LANDER amp Lunar Rover PRAGYAN Like Chandra-
yan-1(22nd Oct2008) it was Indiarsquos indigenous moon
mission
It touched the Moon Surface on Saturday early morn-
ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-
ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-
ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of
moon it lost contact with the ground station Because
of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be
monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m
(approx) away from its assigned location near
SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still
orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange
signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it
The ORBITER which will remain active for another
12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-
owed portion of the moon for the first time in history
with the help of its high-resolution camera
The entire Nation irrespective of their field of
knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front
of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of
VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true
Indians who always dream progress and development
of their motherland But our heart never accepts this
as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement
for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-
pose of our mission
But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at
this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring
country quoting this as a big failure on part of India
blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos
money on this
Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will
be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to
this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other
nations on such missions
Further I should say that India is not new in the field
of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-
TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975
It was named after famous scientist of ancient India
ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested
for the first time the HELIOCENTRIC THEORY
(Sun at the center and all planets revolve around the
Sun) of the Solar System much earlier than ready for
New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 57
COPERNICUS as believed in the western world
Other countries might have moon on their flags but
we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is
great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are
whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-
rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is
only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the
unknown and its continual application for the benefit
of the mankind)rdquo
Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by
various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-
PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-
cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958
onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as
46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was
attempted out of which only 21 was successful
Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-
tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the
overall attempts conducted by other Nations
USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-
NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was
planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January
SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR
successfully on moon
NASA after many attempts was successful to send
first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th
July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk
on moon
Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-
clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-
SION MANGAL for our next moon mission

Anger Management
- Sfurti Kumbhar IX-A
AngerhellipThe worst of emotions It causes a LOT of
problems Like damaged friendships separated fami-
lies to list a few The list is long But as many people
have tried and failed controlling anger can be impos-
sible at times when the little fuse in your brain blows
off Let us discuss controlling anger today
Basically anger management seems and sounds im-
possible But as it turns out it isnrsquot Itrsquos really simple
To be honest I am a cranky person Even the slightest
bit of annoying thing or the face of an irritating person
blows my fuse off So well yeah Irsquom trying to get it
under control Sort of
Impossible right Managing anger sounds easy You
can distract yourself from the situation Permanently
fix an imaginary meter in your brain which indicates
anger level My meter is always near 50-60 When I
say that Irsquom a cranky person you can see that I mean
it
As I was saying the meter Anytime you feel that the
meter is rising just find some ways to control it Like
the classic ldquodrink cool water to cool down your warm
headrdquo or breathe Listen to your fav music Or ask
yourself this simple question
ldquoIs getting angry at this person or screaming at them
going to improve my day in any way whatsoeverrdquo
If the answer is yes go ahead Scream all that you
want at the person and improve your day But if the
answer is no STOP yourself in time Maybe make
yourself an anger dice Or breathe in Out And may-
be the classic as mentioned above
Frankly these ways have helped me to reduce my
ldquofuse blowing offrdquo times since grade 4 Anger may be
one of the smartest issues but we are smarter
You are a masterpiece - Tisha Gangar VIII-A
There are songs in your eyes
Singing lullabies
The voice is so pretty
That it charms in the whole city
There is dance in your smile
With moves in a pile
You make people laugh
With dance as your better half
There is a magical art
Right inside your heart
Painting pictures which create
memories
That are soothing just like a
breeze
You are a Masterpiece
With an end number of skills
Creativity is your strength
Keep safe till the end

a blooming flower
A true friendship is
higher than a tower

Monsoon -Isha Bhanushali VIII
The most alluring part in monsoon season is the way
people tackle them Every where you scan people are
struggling back to reach their home back safely and it
indeed gives you a sense of achievement when you
reach home without getting drained by the gushing
water the automobiles blow on youWell my case is a
little bit different Every time I attempt not to step in-
side the puddle the next step will certainly be inside
it
It was raining heavily that day and unlike my usual
days it was a special one I got dispersed from my
classes by 600 and not aware about the conditions
outside I stepped outside expecting my van to pick
me up Suddenly there was gloomy all around and
there was silence everywhere (huh Because the light
went off) and to add insult to injury I got a call from
my Sir that the van will be com-
ing 1 hour late
I after a while made up my
mind I will set out and go on
my ownI took my umbrella and set out with my
friend The roads were all muddy and the water
reached up to my ankle The situation got testified as
it started raining heavily We all expected the rain to
stop after a while but it was adamant throwing its
tantrums on us All over the road there were vehicles
parked and there was no way to move
But not giving up we carried forward to reach our des-
tination After a long tiring journey of 1km (which
took us almost 1hr) we reached our home safely I had
a feeling of accomplishing a big feat that day
But the climax is here
I had to listen to my Moms scolding
Yes because I had stepped inside a big puddle
Soldier - Marisha Nath VIII-C
Dear soldier you sacrifice yourself for your nation
But people think itrsquos your job not your passion
You are a warrior
You are our savior
You are in the list of Godrsquos golden fame
But alas No book mentions your name

Man Woman and Equality Poorvi Sanu IX-G
Why are women considered inferior to men Why is
it so Even in the olden days gender inequality was
very common
Sati widows shravana shraddha managala gaur
akshaya tritiya child marriage karva chauthhellip
etcetera etcetera etceteraWhat do these words re-
mind you of Yep Thatrsquos right These are all systems
for women
These are sacrifices and systems that women perform
for their better halves So that their spouses have a
long and safe life But what do these spouses do in
return Discriminate these women Consider them
inferior I think that only about 15 of men give
equal opportunities and rights to women
This number is increasing no doubt but then this is a
slow processMen work approximately 6 ndash 8 hours a
day Women on the other hand work at least 16
hours a day Yet men get salary and women in some
cases donrsquot
To all the men and boys reading this I have a few
questions for youDo you have the guts to perform all
housework with 5 guests in the house Do you have
enough courage to change your sur-
name after marriage Do you have
the guts to leave your ancestral home
where you have lived for at least 23
years Are you ready to be dominated
by women More importantly are you ready to listen
to pungent words from your mother-in-law And of
course do you guys have courage to bear a child for 9
months and 9 days and give birth and nurture the ba-
by
Giving birth is simultaneous to fracturing 20 ndash 21
bones at once Did men know this And yet they con-
sider women weak They think that because wersquore
women we cannot thinkIf we cannot think who is
Marie Curie If we are weak who delivers kids
Women arenrsquot any different They are children of
gods They arenrsquot your personal secretaries they are
your partnersOnly a woman knows how much suffer-
ing women go through And yet women are discrimi-
nated daily
What women want is love and respect They work
hard for it they toil day and night and what they get
ishellipabsolutely nothing
Is this right
Submission to Peer Pressure -Akshat Mishra IX -G
ldquoHey Mohan When did you get this new iPhone-Xrdquo
we asked him in surprise as we knew the financial
condition of his family ldquoMy cousin gifted it to merdquo
quipped Mohan sheepishly All the boys resumed
playing but I knew there was something amissPeer
pressure is becoming increasingly inevitable amongst
teenagers One may argue that it is a part of human
nature It may be pivotal for a human being but its
darker side is certainly the more powerful one
People are easily succumbing to peer pressure without
realising its consequences Just to gain respect in
someonersquos eyes they are even ready to quarrel with
their parents and ward their attention from their nec-
essary activities A recent survey suggested that the
maximum people in a rave are a group of teenagers
The clutches of peer pressure are so strong that people
arenrsquot being able to listen even to their conscience
The youth mostly is just littering around the streets
smoking cigarettes boozing or becoming a victim to
social networks sites like Facebook or Instagram Hu-
man resource is the most valuable resource that we
have and the youth are supposed to replenish this re-
source not just to become egoists The are the future
of the planet but sadly they arenrsquot forging the path for
mankind that they are supposed to
Hopefully there is some resistance against this social
evil in modern days Such people have sworn to stay
adamant and not stray from the rightful path These
days of hope do believe in working for the greater
good and are spreading awareness and showing the
society that peer pressure is deleterious sort individual
growth and well being

ldquoFreedom of Press in Democracyrdquo
- Poorvi Sanu IX-G
A free press and a free judiciary are two very important
cornerstones of a democracy Especially in the modern
era of widely accessible news and innumerable infor-
mation at our fingertips freedom of press is highly valued
liberty that citizens should be aware of and know the rea-
son why it is given to us as Indians Freedom means those
people who state the liberty or right and privileged to
speak according to their will
Freedom is that opportunity which we should never avoid
and in all bad situations it gives us all right to handle the
problems in our own innovative and thoughtful way Press
and media are the vital way to express and speech some
views and opinions in a democratic country It is the me-
dium of expressing an opinion of the people It justifies
the individual right to speech and expression a coveted
right enshrined in the Indian constitution and the law of
other countries on the globe
The importance of freedom of press lies in the fact that
for most citizens the prospect of personal familiarity with
newsworthy events is unrealistic In seeking out news the
media therefore acts for the public in large it is the means
by which people receive free flow of information and ide-
as which is essential to intelligence self-governance that
is in turn democracy For a proper functioning of democ-
racy it is essential that
citizens are informed
about news from vari-
ous parts of the coun-
try and even abroad because only then can they form ra-
tional opinions A citizen surely cannot be expected per-
sonally to gather news to enable him or her to form such
opinions Hence the media plays an important role in a
democracy and serves as an agency of the people to gath-
er news for them
It is for this reason that freedom of press has been empha-
sised in all democratic countries while it was not permit-
ted in feudal or totalitarian regimes
In India the media have a great responsibility also to see
that the news they present is accurate and serve the inter-
est of the people If the media convey false news that may
harm the reputation of a person or a section of society it
may do a great damage since reputation is a valuable asset
for a person
Even if the media subsequently correct a statement the
damage done may be irreparable Hence the media should
take care to carefully investigate any news item before
carefully reporting it
I know of a case were the photograph of a High Court
judge who was known to be upright was shown on a TV
New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 22
channel along with that of a known criminal The alle-
gation against the judge was that he had acquired the
land not in any discretionary quota but in the open
market at the market priceAlso sometimes the media
present twisted or distorted news that may contain an
element of truth but also an element of untruth This
too should be avoided because a half-truth can be
more dangerous than a total lie The media should
avoid giving any slant to news and avoid sensational-
ism and yellow journalism Only then will they gain
the respect of the people and fulfil their true role in a
democracySome newspapers espouse the cause of
only one community
ldquoThey do not judge problems on their merits They
view problems from a communal angle Such newspa-
pers do disservice to the nation On the other hand
some responsible newspapers exercise great restraint
while reporting news about riots between two commu-
nities They never give the identity of the community
which started the riot If there are any casualties they
do not give a community-wise break up lest this
should trigger off a bigger riot
In India most of the newspapers are controlled by
business magnates Such newspapers therefore pro-
mote the interest of the capitalists by given tainted
news They pay no heed even to the genuine prob-
lems of the worker^ farmers artisans and other
weaker sections of the people
The press is the defender and the protector of the
rights and liberties of the people But it can per-
form this role only if it enjoys freedom in publish-
ing news views and reporting It can function ef-
fectively only in an open society where decisions are
made in a democratic manner The press should not be
scared of influential people The press should consider
it their duty to protect the right of the workers and oth-
er downtrodden sections of the people
While the press should enjoy freedom to perform its
role effectively it should not treat such freedom as a
licence to defame anybody It should not publish any
views or support any movement which violates our
Constitution or is against the territorial integrity and
unity of the country
To the conclusion As the worldrsquos largest democracy
India has a duty to ensure that the press has the duty to
disseminate information and express opinions without
excessive censorship Unfortunately in recent years
the right has been increasingly curbed This oppres-
sion of press is an alarming trend as it does not allow
for proper checks and balances on the government and
its activities The people of our country need to re-
member that in order to have a strong democracy they
need a strong and free press

Our Future Earth
- Hiya Purswani VIII B
We all know the present condition of our environment
around us Inspite of advanced and modern technolo-
gy we humans are still not able to find a solution
Early humans neither they had much technology nor
they had enough intelligence but still in the early ages
the environment was clean making it the reason for
the increasing life span of humans Its a shocking
news to know that the amount of plastic bottles pro-
duced now may lead to increase in plastic pollution
and cause several death
Its a great opportunity to be as a human in this beauti-
ful earth and so itrsquos our responsibility to make it
clean In monsoon people cut down trees to prevent
accidents to occur but do we plant trees in summer to
prevent more global warming We can prevent bad
things to happen but not cannot take that much efforts
for good things to spread Have you ever wondered
while seeing a tap open how many taps are left open
at the same time in the whole world It might sound
unbelievable there can be a World War III on water
land and fresh air The way we are thinking about the
wastage of water may lead us to a massive pain I trsquos
truly said by Warren Buffet sometimes to buy things
we need we have to sell things we do not need This
happens in the case of lacking of intelligence We say
every scholar is a true genius but in my opinion a per-
son is genius if he has the ability to save and change
things in his own way We all have the ability to save
this earth but our thoughts our ego and our greedi-
ness is stopping us to think in a better way rdquoEveryone
has a good and a bad side in his life What matters is
the part we choose to act upon rdquoThis is an excellent
thought said by Sirius Black in the movie Harry Pot-
ter Itrsquos time to bring a change
We always have time to do good things all we need is
hope Spreading awareness is the best idea to bring a
change If everyone stops thinking about their eco-
nomical needs and start contributing towards the envi-
ronment by planting more trees certainly there will be
a beneficial change in this world Neither do we think
about the future nor care about the present Why not
be an optimist and think in a positive way of life Our
studies our needs our knowledge will not help us in
any way if we donrsquot change Its not that easy to plant a
tree and care for it a whole year but if we only plant it
with all our love nature is certainly going to care for
it Lastly I would like to end with a quote Come
forth in the light of things nature will be your teach-
er
Endeavor
- Heet Shripal Kankariya VII-G
It is hard to recall the past
but good thoughts are forever
Remember the step you took
May it be stupid or clever
Though the time runs out
your hope should never
Dont lose ittry and endeavor
Do your best even if the conse-
quences make your work the worst
Try and try and make your work better
It is hard to recall the past
but good thoughts are forever
Remember the step you took maybe stupid or clever

The Aloof Humans - A curse to mother
earth - Vaijayanthimala Navneet VIII-J
With all the night strength and gust
Preserving nature is must
Mother Nature has been so lucrative
Letrsquos do something to save her
Something new and creativersquo
Let us get pollution under control
Before mother Earth weeps and implores
Let clean air sweep
Both high and deep
Let the tiny piece of land
Be clean tidy and neat
Let uncontaminated water be
So that everything doesnrsquot
end like the sea
Let the tree stand
lsquoCause it is more alluring than the seven colour band
Without being loquacious
Mother nature is indeed precious
The Little girl
- Bhumika Sharma VI-F
I found in a garage
Near the carriage
A tiny little baby girl
She had cute blue eyes
Which were very small in size
And had beautiful hair with a cute little curl
I wonder why she was there
And she came fromhellipwhere
I then asked a person passing on the road
If he knew the merciless who
kept her near the horses and
toads
The person replied ldquoWho cares
O Madamhellip
hellipFor a girl who is denied by her
dad and mum
I felt very sad and cried
But I saved her lest she died
Who will save many such girls
Imagine a world without these pearls
Treat them with respect and love
The Little Guest - Ashwathy Ganesh VI ndashD
It was rainy season
At home came a pigeon
It made its nest and was a pest
But there came another guest
Who shooed away the little pest
First there was nothing but a basket of twigs
And I watched it eating figs
When the thunder came with the rain
I got a bit scared
But it didnrsquot fly away
Because I took care
Soon there were three small
eggs
Which were taken care of by the guest
The bird is easy to guess
Because it doesnrsquot make a mess
With its red tail
It looked a bit frail
Between the plants green full full
Was the nest of the little Bulbul

The Art of Dharma as per Mahabharata
- Abhishek Singh [Teacher SrSecondary]
Dharma means the Duty or RighteousnessDharma is
subtle many times we are forced to take wrong
means for right means(and ends us like Arjuna in hell)
or reaches wrong ends following right means(like
Yudhishthira in exile)Its like the Ying and Yang
Duryodhanarsquos envy for the Pandvarsquos Indraprastha and
Yudhishthirarsquos greed or addiction to a game of dice
and win more territory was the main cause of war
The envy can result in healthy competitiveness raising
oneself up by making the envious work harder for
rivalrsquos possessions or eternal sickness to pull the rival
downThe envy and greed are both presents even in
the
modern day world the failure
of communism was caused by
envy among citizens while the
capitalist system is stranded by greed The aim of so-
ciety should not be to suppress these feelings among
its citizens but to channelize them productively Envy
is the vice of socialism Greed is the evil of capital-
ism
Dharma is not justice Its difference between Retribu-
tive Justice and forgiveness While a nation with
stronger legal laws can prefer justice over peace the
newly created or war-torn nations with weaker legal
laws should prefer to restore peace and harmony in
society rather than emphasizing justice
Beware You are in for a scare
- Ayush Lonakadi IX-C
I had returned home late but after reaching home I had
wished I had not reached home that day There was no
electricity which just made it creepier When I
reached my room my exhaustion made me forget that
I was famished I lay on the bed scrolling down pic-
tures I had recently clicked I relived happy moments
but someone out there wasnrsquot happy to see me happy
and I noticed a photograph in my phone which be-
mused me ndash not mentioning how frightened I had be-
come
The picture waswashow can I explain The back-
ground was of my house In the photoI was
sleeping Butbut how could that have been possi-
ble I lived alone there was no one to click my photo
while I was sleeping I was petrified with my eyes
wide open and my whole body was horror-struck
Then all the unwanted noises came into focus ndash the
noises from outside noises of something creaking and
the wind forcefully blowing through the thin slit of the
window eerily
I was panic-stricken I
quickly switched my
phone off and kept it on
the table beside and did
not bother about changing my clothes and covered my
face with a blanket and hugged it tightly I could not
even think of sleeping Every second the clock ticked
I hugged the blanket harder My face and chest were
drenched in sweat I felt some supernatural move-
ments around me something trying to reach out to
me
By then I was praying to God to take me away from
that place I was ready to die Then something hap-
pened and I became frantic from tip to toe lsquoIt is Tues-
day todayrsquo The virtual assistant of my phone said but
I clearly remembered that I had switched off my
phone Who asked the question It was this trauma
that I couldnrsquot bear and today I am here telling you
this story after turning into a roaming soul Look to
your right I am right beside you

Travelling Aaryan Aggarwal IX - B
Travelling is an experience It doesnrsquot matter where
you travel Every place is great in its own ways You
could go to a culturally rich yet underdeveloped place
or you could go to an advanced metropolitan place
You could travel slow paced or you could be adven-
turous and go off the beaten path You could go to the
beach you could go to a museum It wonrsquot matter as
wherever you go you will always get a new and
different experience The experiences will open your
mind to a whole new world and culture which will
change your understanding and preconceived notions
about that place You will also get an opportunity to
detoxify yourself from social media Thus I believe
that travelling is more than just a hobby and can
change your entire thought process and state of
mind
Wallflower
- Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
She lived under a rock
More by force than by will
She lived there so long
She had nothing to fight with
All these people pushing her down
Her feeble frame could fight no long
She vowed to never stop the struggle
Until she had on her temples the crown
Declaring to the world her change
after years bygone
From being the young shy girl they saw
But all this struggle slowly had her crumbling
As she withered her dreams fading
Cause promises are sometimes left undone
When fate decides to yield a gun
And the world never saw the light
Of a wallflower wishing to shine so bright
Being Myself -Nidhi Mishra VIII-G
I did never lie to myself
Never strived to be someone else
And so I never shy
To look myself straight in the eye
I did never hide myself
And lavish a priceless gift
Having lsquolifersquo as its spell
Being myself Irsquoll uplift
Life is too short
Donrsquot be someone else
A onetime offer we have got
Even more precious than a thousand jewels

Women Empowerment - Devangi Dongre VII-B
The abilities of women in making decisions educa-
tion and profession have been largely suppressed
since ages considering them inferior to men The sit-
uation is worst in underdeveloped and developing na-
tions where women in a family are not allowed to
take financial decisions or decide on matters regard-
ing their own educationWith such state of affairs it
would be a fallacy to dream about the goals of sus-
tainable development and gender equality There is an
instant need to take measures to lift the social
personal and professional
status of women bringing
them shoulder to shoulder
with men These particular
measures constitute a pro-
cess which is known as ldquoWomen Empowermentrdquo
Providing better education and employment opportu-
nities to women ensuring their better health provid-
ing justice and ensuring professional equivalence are
the few methods of women empowerment

LunaVenture Beyond Horizons
- Aaryan Aggarwal IX-B
He looked from afar at his towering creation A re-
mote island in the Pacific Ocean seemed like a great
refuge after what had been happening on the Earth
He chose secrecy as his mission had raised many eye-
brows The plan was simple lsquoEscape and start overrsquo
Right now Moon seemed to be the most viable option
in terms of survival The research had been done
Moon was habitable So close to our abode our cos-
mic neighbor the Moon must exist for a reason It-
will not just be a secondary habitat but also be a step-
ping stone for further progress
His meticulously crafted plan was now just minutes
away from execution A team of four explorers would
first leave Earth and explore the Moon to test his hy-
pothesis Once a temporary col-
ony using genetically engi-
neered pods containing human
embryos is set up they would
further analyze the surroundings and find ways to
make it more habitable The lesser gravitational pull
which allowed for a comparatively lower escape ve-
locity made it easier to transport resources from the
Earth or the ISS Sure it would be difficult at first
Earth is unmatched but he knew it was for the greater
good of mankind It would mean more opportunities
and help us understand our place in this universe
Right now we have confined ourselves in a box and
this is the only way to leave it and unleash the won-
ders of the universe In front of his eyes it flew never
to come back

Make the Choice

Irsquom steady upon the decision
About which Irsquoll never disclaim
Accepting the outcome never blame
To impulse refer those achieves
Itrsquos your resolve donrsquot quit
There wasnrsquot any lose that grieves
There was just a lesson in it

In the decision of mine
I possess optimism in myself
And so I believe everything

Though it may be tough
To perceive ones way to success
A dose of victory isnrsquot enough
Itrsquos always limitless
Television Pros and Cons
- Soumya Sheth
What do most of the people do these days to entertain
themselvesEveryone likes to switch ON their televi-
sion sets which is one of the exceptional inventions of
science When our Dads come home tired after office
the first thing they would like to do is switch On the
TV and relax while watching it from his sofa seat
This is because while watching different things that
are broadcasted on TV we forget our worries and re-
grets of the day
However like every good and popular inventions tel-
evision also has its set of some worrying habits that
people get hitched to For example sometimes kids
watch it for extensive time thereby affecting their
studies This is one of the most worrying habit for par-
ents and we should know that ignoring studies is not
good for our future and studying is as much important
for us at this tender age more than anything elseItrsquos
true that television can bring us the knowledge from
across the world We can see different parts of the
world virtually sitting at the same place But we
should know how
we can use this
incredible inven-
tion of science in
the right and bene-
ficial way for us Now-a-days Smart TVs have be-
come even more popular We can even use internet on
those TVs Use Google to search for answers we donrsquot
know use YouTube to understand how things are
made or get our doubts cleared and much much more
To summarize it I would like to urge all my fellow
students to use this precious invention of science in a

The night before the final examination
-Marisha Nath VIII- C
The night before the final examination appears to all
examinees as the night before the Battle of Waterloo
might have appeared to Napoleon or the Duke of Wel-
lington Our system of education being what it is we
examinees are bound to be anxious about the nature of
the nature of the questions we will have to answer
next day Even an earnest student who has done all
that needs be done by way of nervousness uncertainty
and suspense on the night before the examination The
morning of the examination finds them prostate with
nervous disorder
But this is one side the picture There are students
who may be described as soldiers of fortune They are
daredevil youngsters who do not take their examina-
tions seriously But their lack of preparation is more
than made up for by the short cuts or bazar notes they
have provided themselves with Even on the night
before the examina-
tion they would be
going about their
daily rounds They
may be found in the parks cafes and restaurants talk-
ing about tips ndashtalking glibly and confidently about
what questions are sure to come The morning of the
examination finds them as cheerful as they were on
the night before
What is needed most is self-confidence and a cool
head True we do not remember all that we have read
when we go to the Examination Hall This does not
mean that we have forgotten them Many things re-
main in the sub ndashconscious region They jump into
consciousness when we face the questions and seri-
ously think of the answers Often such answers score
more marks than prepared ones
Elegance
-Prajna VIII-D
Elegant you be for the universe to learn your versatility
Brighter you shine the orb will know your sustenance
The stars moons and clouds let know your dignity
Apparently it seems your flawless abundance
The ideal triumph mustnrsquot be exaggerated
Till you salve someonersquos hurt
Elegant you be for the universe to learn your versatility
How can you be silent if you donrsquot know your efficiency
One of the values to become successful is simplicity
Through elegance letrsquos spread positivist

Chocoland - Talreja Aastha IV-J
Once I had been to the Chocolate Land
Chocolate all around to the reach of my hand
Toffees candies lollies and bars
In my mouth a crunchy munchy war
White dark nutty and sweet
Just like a dreamy treat
Colourful wrapper shiny and bright
Which one to choose which would be right
Houses made of chocolates and doors made of bars
And out stood there a chocolate car
Soon after it was 6 oclock
And could hear the doorrsquos knock
I woke up in a hurry
Just to realise that it was a dream
Me Myself

The ant and the elephant
- SOUMEN RAO IV-E
Once upon a time in a forest there lived an ant and an
elephant The elephant was the biggest among all the
elephants So he was very proud of himself and used
to criticize everyone and the ant which was the tiniest
among them was very happy and cheerful It used to
help everyone I its own way
All the animals in the forest used to complain about
the egoistic elephant So one day when the ant saw the
elephant walking towards it it immediately thought of
a plan As soon as the elephant came near the ant
said ldquoHello My friendrdquo but the elephant replied rude-
ly saying ldquoYou tiny
ant Get off my way
otherwise yoursquoll get
crushed to deathrdquo
Hearing this ant
challenged the elephant sayingrdquo My big friend I can
make you cryrdquo The ant quickly climbed onto the trunk
of the elephant and ran towards its earit went inside
the ear and started biting the elephants ear The ele-
phant tried to flap its ears but in vain After a few
minutes tears started rolling down its eyes It cried
ldquoPlease come out of my ear I canrsquot bear the painrdquo As
soon as the ant came out the elephant apologized for
its mistake and didnrsquot tease any animals from that day
Grandparents
-Aditya Patil VIII-E
The best place in vacation
A heaven like destination
Their love for us is endless
All their sacrifices are worthless
Great is their surrounding divinity
In front of our ordinary identity
To your grandparents never be rude
Because they are your
coolest dude
They yell at our parents
when we are shouted
With generosity and be-
nevolence they are bounded
Be sure to always meet your grandparents once in a
while and enhance yourself by their presence

Women Empowerment
- Devangi Dongre VII-B
The abilities of women in making decisions education and profession have
been largely suppressed since ages considering them inferior to men The situa-
tion is worst in underdeveloped and developing nations where women in a fami-
ly are not allowed to take financial decisions or decide on matters regarding their own education
With such state of affairs it would be a fallacy to dream about the goals of sustainable development and gen-
der equality There is an instant need to take measures to lift the social personal and professional status of
women bringing them shoulder to shoulder with men These particular measures constitute a process which
is known as ldquoWomen Empowermentrdquo Providing better education and employment opportunities to women
ensuring their better health providing justice and ensuring professional equivalence are the few methods of
women empowerment
Water Conservation
- Paarth Bhagat VII-J
Water is life If there was no water there would be no
life Hence water is the precious gift of God to mother
Earth We cannot imagine our lives without water
We human beings are made up of water it is the only
transportation medium that carries the food molecules
and oxygen to the cells of every body parts to help the
blood It signifies that water is the most essential in-
gredient to the functioning of life of every organism
So you see living this wonderful life is impossible
without water
Water is the force behind all the industry agriculture
manufacturing and trade and commerce All forms of
energy generation is done using water Be it hydroe-
lectrically projects or thermal power plant or nuclear
power plant water is
the key ingredient in
all of them There
would be no power
without water No
water no life
So it is our responsibility to conserve this life nectar
It is possible only through by changing our outlook
towards this wonderful natural resource We must en-
sure there is no pollution of water bodies by dumping
any waste such as sewage effluents and other toxic
substances We must also ensure there is no emission
of green-house gases into the atmosphere The people
and the government must ensure installation of efflu-
ents and smoke treatment plants at industrial garbage
and sewage units

The kind Fairies -Aditys Patil VIII-E
This story starts with two beautiful babies in a king-
dom called fairyland The babies were very pretty
Their names were Ovi and Riddhi They were growing
pretty well As they grew they became more and
more pretty Over and over they were also fairies and
within 5 years they became young girls Their mother
told them to go to school The girls askedwhere are
the schools There are no schools here Mother said
dont worry you will go to the planet Earth On the
planet Earth there is a very good school named New
Horizon Public School and the short form is nhps We
said ok On the first day of our school we were very
afraid but after a few days we
became more smart than the
others We were getting a lot of
prizes which we shared with
eveyone in the school This
made us and others happy One day We became the
princess of fairyland Our wings were like a rainbow
We were twins and had very long hairs Now I end
my story with a beautiful quote
ALWAYS HELP EACH OTHER LIKE THE
FARIES BECAUSE HELPING PEOPLE IS THE
PATH TO GOD
The Day Irsquoll Never Forget - Saranya Sarangi VII -
It was a day of love and affection
There was no visible sign of caution
But something unfortunate was going to happen
Nobody knew where and when
There was a blast at half past three
In a beauty land called Paradise On Earth
A complete silence and pity hadnrsquot the thee
Perished laid the martyrs
Whom our motherland gave birth
I still remember that scaring sight
The scattered limbs I couldnrsquot see
My heart got filled with grief and fright
No Indian could glee
Terribly writhing the soldiers were seen
Some families languished and some
were crying
So loyal to their country they had been
None of their families were mollifying
Whatever homage to our martyrs we pay
Tiny before their they lay
Salute to their tribute to motherland
To protect us they always walked hand in hand
Little Birdie - Marisha Nath VIII-C
I am a little birdie in the sky
With two wings to fly
I never disturb you
I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom
O human Then why do you steal my FREEDOM
Binding me alone in the cage makes me sad
Donrsquot you know caging a bird is bad
Looking at the sky
I wish I could fly
I never disturb you
I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom
O human Then why do you steal my
FREEDOM

Summers in India - Saranya Sarangi VIII
A hot season beginning from April till May is what we
call summer And thatrsquos the basic rule in India But
thatrsquos not something through which we can define
summers in our country India The sun shining high
above the head increasing the heat and this scorching
heat is something very unique about summers in India
Those ice-lolly stalls roaming down the streets tin-
kling their tiny bells is something special one will nev-
er find in any other country Many people love this
season
Especially the children as they get to eat ice-creams
Many people even donrsquot As they feel that this season
can only make a person dehydrated exhausted and irri-
tated Summer as we think as an unfruitful season is
contrast in reality Schools conduct summer camps
during vacation where stu-
dents can join different aca-
demic and co-curricular
courses to improve them-
selves Many children even spend time with their fami-
lies
Often families plan trips to different places as they get
a very long vacation during this season But now-a-
days due to increasing heat these pleasant summers
are becoming unbearable Every just sweat and sweat
We get a lethargic feeling not ready to do any work
Due to this heat we continually keep the ACs on which
consume a lot of electricity creating trouble for our
mother Earth and us Gradually that charm of the
unique kind of summers will be lost if precautions are
not taken We must really hope and work hard to bring
back our lovely lsquoSummers in Indiarsquo
Exams are good or bad
- Nupoor Teli VIIIndashI
In my humble opinionexams are apressure on the stu-
dents They are forced to study and score good
markswhich can lead to frustration An environmentof
competitivenessof standing first is created for which
students keep on studying day and night without any
recreation It is good to studybut not just for the sake
of gaining marks
Why do we study What is the main intention behind
education Seeking intersresting and fascinating
knowledge as well as facts about the world But now-a
-daysthe main reason for studying is gaining marks If
there are no marksno career andno success This is the
mindset of 70 people of the worldespecially parents
They pressurize their children so much that they get
depressed or sometimes attempt suicide as well
Every two months an exam is conducted Moreo-
verthere are projectssubject-enrichment activi-
tieschapter test sfter every topicnotebookfile submis
sion etcAnd as acherry on top
of the cakewe have the semes-
ter exams of eighty marks as
well What all will the students
do And even if any extra-
curricular activities are being learntthen more extra
studies Just studystudy and study
Why so much of tension on the children Under this
tension only they start cheating As time passes cheat-
ing becomes a habit of their life
I fell that exams should be conducted once a term in
order to evaluate whether the students are clear with
the concepts or notThey shouldnt be pressurized for
their marksbut should be made understand their mis-
takes Let them choose their own career options on
their own Help them knowwhat they like to study and
what they want to do in their life So dont pressurize
students for what they dont likeand encourage them in
what they do After allthey are only the Rising stars of
the country

Life is magical - Piyush Sahoo VII-H
A new day or a new night
Everything in life seems bright
A new morning or a new evening
Life is full of happening
A life is just like a kite
It may disappear in a sight
Life moves from baby to old
Make your life challenging and bold
Enjoy life the fullest
Never accept less than best
Unlikely life comes to an end
But remember never to bend
Happy sadness victory and loss
Accept it the way it comes
Life can be at times tragical
But make it the most beautiful
Life is magicalhellip
Life is so magicalhellip
Humility -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
Humility is having a heart to treat others with respect
and love Considering people worthy of your love
time and efforts regardless of who they are or what
they have done A person is truly humble when they
are willing to work hard for others expecting nothing
in return
Humility has the power to change a personrsquos perspec-
tive towards life It can make a difference in the way a
person is looked upon by others Doing an act of hum-
bleness can make a personrsquos day Humility is about
not having an ego or considering things below your
dignity or considering yourself greater than others
People often confuse humility with self-respect They
canrsquot make out the difference between being useful to
others and being used by others
It takes courage to be humble
because in the era in which we
live humility is looked upon as
weakness People assume yoursquore not strong enough to
stand up for yourself They think you surrender in-
stead of protesting They will despise and scorn you
but they donrsquot know that you take pleasure in what
you do because they havenrsquot experienced that kind of
joy
So if you do have humility donrsquot draw back from it
because of what others think Whatever you are doing
is for the good of others and you have no need to be
ashamed of that Humbleness will spread from person
to person Who knows maybe your one act of humili-
ty will spread on to help a person in need So be brave
be humble
Mom -Tanvi Sawant VII-C
Oh mom I came to this beautiful world just because

Oh mom this world is incomplete
without you
Just like the sky without itrsquos bright color bluehellip
Oh mom yoursquore the candle that showed the way in the
dark
My dear mom you made my life spark

OUR FUTURE EARTH - Hiya Purswani VIII-B
We all know the present condition of our environment
around us Inspite of advanced and modern technolo-
gy we humans are still not able to find a solution
Early humans neither they had much technology nor
they had enough intelligence but still in the early ages
the environment was clean making it the reason for
the increasing life span of humans Its a shocking
news to know that the amount of plastic bottles pro-
duced now may lead to increase in plastic pollution
and cause several death Its a great opportunity to be
as a human in this beautiful earth and so its our re-
sponsibility to make it clean In monsoon people cut
down trees to prevent accidents to occur but do we
plant trees in summer to prevent more global warm-
ing We can prevent bad things to happen but not can-
not take that much effort for good things to spread
Have you ever wondered while seeing a tap open how
many taps are left open at the same time in the whole
world It might sound unbelievable there can be a
World War III on water land and fresh air The way
we are thinking about the wastage of water may lead
us to a massive pain Itrsquos truly said by Warren Buffet
sometimes to buy things we need we have to sell
things we do not need This happens in the case of
lacking of intelligence We say every scholar is a true
genius but in my
opinion a person is
genius if he has the
ability to save and
change things in his
own way We all have the ability to save this earth
but our thoughts our ego and our greediness is stop-
ping us to think in a better way Everyone has a good
and a bad side in his life What matters is the part we
choose to act upon This is an excellent thought said
by Sirius Black in the movie Harry Potter Itrsquos time to
bring a change We always have time to do good
things all we need is hope Spreading awareness is the
best idea to bring a change If everyone stops thinking
about their economical needs and start contributing
towards the environment by planting more trees cer-
tainly there will be a beneficial change in this world
Neither do we think about the future nor care about
the present Why not be an optimist and think in a
positive way of life Our studies our needs our
knowledge will not help us in any way if we donʼt
change Its not that easy to plant a tree and care for it a
whole year if we only plant it with all our love nature
is certainly going to care for it Lastly I would like to
end with a quoterdquo Come forth in the light of things
nature will be your teacher
The Small Hours Pranjal Anil Chavan V-C
No more my little song Come back
And now of nights I lay my head on down
to watch the black
And wait the unfailing gray
Oh Sad are winter nights and slow
And sad is a song thatrsquos dumb
And sad it is to lie I know
Another dawn will come

Floods and Destruction
- Nirvi Soni IV-H
India faces occurrence of floods each year in some
parts of Assam during the rainy season Water of river
Brahmaputra rises and enters into many villages
causing great destruction Floods are unavoidable but
we need to take precautions in the following ways by
reducing mining activities building dams growing
more trees etc During floods the weather becomes
wet and gloomy Trees and plants get uprooted This
way floods cause great de-
struction to both life and
property It also becomes dif-
ficult to travel from place to
place Many people are left
homeless The rain water should be harvested and
stored in large storage tanks The harvested rainwater
can be used for washing clothes and cleaning By us-
ing rain water in our daily life we can preserve water
resources

Wersquoll surely find the crown
Up on the chilled mountain
We saw a beautiful fountain
Surrounded by a beautiful castle
Decorated with the colourful tassel
Just be quiet and keen
Soon you will be the queen
Think before you speak
-Shravya Atreya IX-D
Think before you speak
There are hearts you must please
Think before you speak
You canrsquot undo the harm done after you squeak
Think before you speak
You might have done greater harm than you might
think
Think before you speak
There are still places left for you
to seek
Think before you speak
There is a long way to go before
you sleep
Think before you speak
There are hearts you must
please

GLOBAL WARMING - Adhyant Singh VII-F
Global warming refers to the steady rise in the Earthrsquos mean temperature The effect of global
warming had come into sight when polar ice caps started melting this phenomena is called ICE ndash
ALBEDO the ice caps melt faster due to the rise in the temperature This sudden rise in the temperature near
the poles began in 1999 The polar ice caps in Antarctica melt at the rate of 400000000000 tons per year ac-
cording to some scientists it would approximately take 5000 years to melt the total ice on earth In 2013 Inter-
governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) stated that the main cause of Global warming is human inter-
vention like emission of Green house gases like Carbon-Di-Oxide nitrous oxide and methane
These gases trap the heat which is reflected by the Earthrsquos surface thus increasing the temperature and also
destroying the ozone layer which prevents the ultraviolet rays of the sun from reaching the earthrsquos surface Al-
so burning fossil fuel contributes to the problem Effects of global warming have also led to the increase in the
sea level and extreme weather like heat waves and change in the regional pattern of precipitation and the ex-
pansion of desserts A concentrated and focused effort by the entire humanity can curb down the impact of
Global warming and also prevent it Planting more trees to control the amount of carbon-di-oxide eliminating
the use of chlorofluorocarbon or (CFCrsquoS) are a few steps All the countries have signed up with the United Na-
tions Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to prevent the doomsday of Earth So to prevent
earthrsquos doomsday we all must work together
Itrsquos not too late there is still timehellipBefore the earth ends and we whinehellipSo keep on marching and planting
greens To end Global Warming and Make our planet greenhellip

The Night - Matangi Rajesh VII-D
Its the night
The moon is white
When we switch off the light
What a beautiful sight
After this comes the sun bright
There is no more artificial light
This is the time to start your diet
To go for a run wearing tights
Then comes the evening when
you have snacks light
And fly a big colorful kite
or include your sibling in a pillow fight
Again comes the night
A moon which is white
We switch off the light
A beautiful sight

Hyperloop -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
Human inventions have baffled the world They are
innumerable ranging from revolutionizing
smartphones to not-so-breathtaking ice cream cones
but they play a role in our life just the same The
things which are commonplace to us now were unbe-
knownst to people once upon a time For the people of
the 19th century the car was a thing of the future until
in 1885 Karl Benz ran his first car on the road Then
for centuries people took the prospect of of flying like
the birds as only a wild possibility which was made
possible in 1903 when the Wright Brothers flew the
first plane
What is the thing of the future for us Well we are the
future modifying and bettering the things that have
been made and crating stuff that we didnt even dare
to imagine about The Hyperloop fulfills both aspects
of the definition a very advanced model of our faith-
ful train and yet a brand new idea to scale greater
heights The Hyperloop is an ideal mode of efficient
transport Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane
with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing
speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt have to
ace the two types of friction that every other vehicle
has to face Air resistance and ground friction The
pods of the Hyperloop are propelled through a depres-
surized tub Since it is almost vacuum very little air
resistance can be offered inside the tube Due to this
the energy required to travel is also very less The Hy-
perloops unique technology uses magnetic levitation
to guide and lift the pods of the rail Since the pod is
not in contact with the ground there is no friction act-
ing on itThe first Hyperloop ndash virgin Hyperloop one
is set to run with passengers as early as 2021 and is
created by SpaceX and Tesla
The mastermind behind the Hyperloop is Elon Musk
who first published a 58 page white-paper on the web-
site of his company-Space X It was available to all
and was titled Hyperloop alpha The Hyperloop may
be the pioneer of a whole new era of transportation
traveling a distance which would otherwise take 12

Exams are good or bad -Nupoor Teli VIII
In my humble opinion exams are pressure on the stu-
dents They are forced to study and score good marks
which can lead to frustration An environment of com-
petitiveness of standing first is created for which stu-
dents keep on studying day and night without any rec-
reation It is good to study but not just for the sake of
gaining marks
Why do we study What is the main intention behind
education Seeking interesting and fascinating
knowledge as well as facts about the world But now-a
-days the main reason for studying is gaining marks
If there are no marks no career and no success This
is the mindset of 70 people of the world especially
parents They pressurize their children so much that
they get depressed or sometimes attempt suicide as
wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-
ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities
chapter test after every topic notebookfile submis-
sion etc And as cherry on top of the cake we have the
semester exams of eighty marks as well What all will
the students do And even if any extra-curricular ac-
tivities are being learnt then more extra studies Just
study study and study
Why so much of tension on the children Under this
tension only they start cheating As time passes cheat-
ing becomes a habit of their lifeI fell that exams
should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate
whether the students are clear with the concepts or
not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but
should be made understand their mistakes Let them
choose their own career options on their own Help
them know what they like to study and what they want
to do in their life So dont pressurize students for
what they dont like and encourage them in what they
do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the
country

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B
Life is all about interactions You meet people and
you interact You observe them consciously or sub-
consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us
more than we even realise Some people leave a last-
ing impression on us and entirely change the course of
life for better or for worse Some people influence us
help us go further and make all the difference
I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-
tial people They have taken care of me ever since I
came into this world They are the ones who wish the
best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-
cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel
no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-
come a part of my personality They are the ones who
helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me
to be better
When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are
the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-
takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique
learning experience It has made me realise how eve-
rything they do has a reason They are the ones who
have taught me the importance of the little things in
life They are the ones who have helped me recognize
and follow my passion The very thought of them not
being a part of my life is scary to the least as without
them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am
today and whatever I have achieved is all because of
them and I am very grateful of that
Eyesight
-Aditi Shenoy VIII-F
The tired little girl went to bed
Recollecting the days bygone
Seeing them in her dreams
As the day she was born
Trying to see the world
With her little eyes
But the sun with his brightness
Wouldnt let her catch the sights
The girl still eager
And curious to see the world around her
Again opened her eyes
But her vision was blurred
Still she did not lose hope
Which flowed through her blood
Encouraging and pushing her
To see the world further
Her heart beating fast
Her enthusiasm increasing
She slowly tried to see
With her eyes continuously blinking
Starting to lose hope
She was ready to give up
But curiosity got the upper hand
And pushed her forward
With her hope again rising
and strength in her eyesight
She is finally seeing the world
With wide open eyes

Conquering the space
-Marisha Nath VIII-C
ldquoThere is no failure in Science it is only continual
effort to conquer the unknown On the way even if we
face failure it rather adds more value to our effort for
our next journey to know the unknownrdquo
Chandrayan-2 Indiarsquos Moon Mission The dream of
entire India to land on moon and become the 4th Na-
tion in the world to put its flag on the soil of moon
after USSR USA amp China
ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launched
Chandrayan-2 on 22nd July 2019 from Bengaluru
(Satish Dhawan Space Center) under the command of
ISRO chief K Shivan It consists of ORBITER
LANDER amp Lunar Rover PRAGYAN Like Chandra-
yan-1(22nd Oct2008) it was Indiarsquos indigenous moon
mission
It touched the Moon Surface on Saturday early morn-
ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-
ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-
ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of
moon it lost contact with the ground station Because
of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be
monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m
(approx) away from its assigned location near
SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still
orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange
signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it
The ORBITER which will remain active for another
12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-
owed portion of the moon for the first time in history
with the help of its high-resolution camera
The entire Nation irrespective of their field of
knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front
of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of
VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true
Indians who always dream progress and development
of their motherland But our heart never accepts this
as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement
for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-
pose of our mission
But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at
this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring
country quoting this as a big failure on part of India
blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos
money on this
Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will
be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to
this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other
nations on such missions
Further I should say that India is not new in the field
of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-
TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975
It was named after famous scientist of ancient India
ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested
for the first time the HELIOCENTRIC THEORY
(Sun at the center and all planets revolve around the
Sun) of the Solar System much earlier than ready for
New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 57
COPERNICUS as believed in the western world
Other countries might have moon on their flags but
we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is
great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are
whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-
rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is
only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the
unknown and its continual application for the benefit
of the mankind)rdquo
Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by
various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-
PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-
cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958
onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as
46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was
attempted out of which only 21 was successful
Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-
tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the
overall attempts conducted by other Nations
USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-
NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was
planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January
SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR
successfully on moon
NASA after many attempts was successful to send
first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th
July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk
on moon
Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-
clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-
SION MANGAL for our next moon mission

Anger Management
- Sfurti Kumbhar IX-A
AngerhellipThe worst of emotions It causes a LOT of
problems Like damaged friendships separated fami-
lies to list a few The list is long But as many people
have tried and failed controlling anger can be impos-
sible at times when the little fuse in your brain blows
off Let us discuss controlling anger today
Basically anger management seems and sounds im-
possible But as it turns out it isnrsquot Itrsquos really simple
To be honest I am a cranky person Even the slightest
bit of annoying thing or the face of an irritating person
blows my fuse off So well yeah Irsquom trying to get it
under control Sort of
Impossible right Managing anger sounds easy You
can distract yourself from the situation Permanently
fix an imaginary meter in your brain which indicates
anger level My meter is always near 50-60 When I
say that Irsquom a cranky person you can see that I mean
it
As I was saying the meter Anytime you feel that the
meter is rising just find some ways to control it Like
the classic ldquodrink cool water to cool down your warm
headrdquo or breathe Listen to your fav music Or ask
yourself this simple question
ldquoIs getting angry at this person or screaming at them
going to improve my day in any way whatsoeverrdquo
If the answer is yes go ahead Scream all that you
want at the person and improve your day But if the
answer is no STOP yourself in time Maybe make
yourself an anger dice Or breathe in Out And may-
be the classic as mentioned above
Frankly these ways have helped me to reduce my
ldquofuse blowing offrdquo times since grade 4 Anger may be
one of the smartest issues but we are smarter
You are a masterpiece - Tisha Gangar VIII-A
There are songs in your eyes
Singing lullabies
The voice is so pretty
That it charms in the whole city
There is dance in your smile
With moves in a pile
You make people laugh
With dance as your better half
There is a magical art
Right inside your heart
Painting pictures which create
memories
That are soothing just like a
breeze
You are a Masterpiece
With an end number of skills
Creativity is your strength
Keep safe till the end
Friend
- Nupoor Teli VIII

of the shining night
It is the light
that makes your life bright
Friend is the one
who brings out your good
A friend is the person
who makes your mood
Friend is like
a blooming flower
A true friendship is
higher than a tower

Monsoon -Isha Bhanushali VIII
The most alluring part in monsoon season is the way
people tackle them Every where you scan people are
struggling back to reach their home back safely and it
indeed gives you a sense of achievement when you
reach home without getting drained by the gushing
water the automobiles blow on youWell my case is a
little bit different Every time I attempt not to step in-
side the puddle the next step will certainly be inside
it
It was raining heavily that day and unlike my usual
days it was a special one I got dispersed from my
classes by 600 and not aware about the conditions
outside I stepped outside expecting my van to pick
me up Suddenly there was gloomy all around and
there was silence everywhere (huh Because the light
went off) and to add insult to injury I got a call from
my Sir that the van will be com-
ing 1 hour late
I after a while made up my
mind I will set out and go on
my ownI took my umbrella and set out with my
friend The roads were all muddy and the water
reached up to my ankle The situation got testified as
it started raining heavily We all expected the rain to
stop after a while but it was adamant throwing its
tantrums on us All over the road there were vehicles
parked and there was no way to move
But not giving up we carried forward to reach our des-
tination After a long tiring journey of 1km (which
took us almost 1hr) we reached our home safely I had
a feeling of accomplishing a big feat that day
But the climax is here
I had to listen to my Moms scolding
Yes because I had stepped inside a big puddle
Soldier - Marisha Nath VIII-C
Dear soldier you sacrifice yourself for your nation
But people think itrsquos your job not your passion
You are a warrior
You are our savior
You are in the list of Godrsquos golden fame
But alas No book mentions your name

Man Woman and Equality Poorvi Sanu IX-G
Why are women considered inferior to men Why is
it so Even in the olden days gender inequality was
very common
Sati widows shravana shraddha managala gaur
akshaya tritiya child marriage karva chauthhellip
etcetera etcetera etceteraWhat do these words re-
mind you of Yep Thatrsquos right These are all systems
for women
These are sacrifices and systems that women perform
for their better halves So that their spouses have a
long and safe life But what do these spouses do in
return Discriminate these women Consider them
inferior I think that only about 15 of men give
equal opportunities and rights to women
This number is increasing no doubt but then this is a
slow processMen work approximately 6 ndash 8 hours a
day Women on the other hand work at least 16
hours a day Yet men get salary and women in some
cases donrsquot
To all the men and boys reading this I have a few
questions for youDo you have the guts to perform all
housework with 5 guests in the house Do you have
enough courage to change your sur-
name after marriage Do you have
the guts to leave your ancestral home
where you have lived for at least 23
years Are you ready to be dominated
by women More importantly are you ready to listen
to pungent words from your mother-in-law And of
course do you guys have courage to bear a child for 9
months and 9 days and give birth and nurture the ba-
by
Giving birth is simultaneous to fracturing 20 ndash 21
bones at once Did men know this And yet they con-
sider women weak They think that because wersquore
women we cannot thinkIf we cannot think who is
Marie Curie If we are weak who delivers kids
Women arenrsquot any different They are children of
gods They arenrsquot your personal secretaries they are
your partnersOnly a woman knows how much suffer-
ing women go through And yet women are discrimi-
nated daily
What women want is love and respect They work
hard for it they toil day and night and what they get
ishellipabsolutely nothing
Is this right
Submission to Peer Pressure -Akshat Mishra IX -G
ldquoHey Mohan When did you get this new iPhone-Xrdquo
we asked him in surprise as we knew the financial
condition of his family ldquoMy cousin gifted it to merdquo
quipped Mohan sheepishly All the boys resumed
playing but I knew there was something amissPeer
pressure is becoming increasingly inevitable amongst
teenagers One may argue that it is a part of human
nature It may be pivotal for a human being but its
darker side is certainly the more powerful one
People are easily succumbing to peer pressure without
realising its consequences Just to gain respect in
someonersquos eyes they are even ready to quarrel with
their parents and ward their attention from their nec-
essary activities A recent survey suggested that the
maximum people in a rave are a group of teenagers
The clutches of peer pressure are so strong that people
arenrsquot being able to listen even to their conscience
The youth mostly is just littering around the streets
smoking cigarettes boozing or becoming a victim to
social networks sites like Facebook or Instagram Hu-
man resource is the most valuable resource that we
have and the youth are supposed to replenish this re-
source not just to become egoists The are the future
of the planet but sadly they arenrsquot forging the path for
mankind that they are supposed to
Hopefully there is some resistance against this social
evil in modern days Such people have sworn to stay
adamant and not stray from the rightful path These
days of hope do believe in working for the greater
good and are spreading awareness and showing the
society that peer pressure is deleterious sort individual
growth and well being

ldquoFreedom of Press in Democracyrdquo
- Poorvi Sanu IX-G
A free press and a free judiciary are two very important
cornerstones of a democracy Especially in the modern
era of widely accessible news and innumerable infor-
mation at our fingertips freedom of press is highly valued
liberty that citizens should be aware of and know the rea-
son why it is given to us as Indians Freedom means those
people who state the liberty or right and privileged to
speak according to their will
Freedom is that opportunity which we should never avoid
and in all bad situations it gives us all right to handle the
problems in our own innovative and thoughtful way Press
and media are the vital way to express and speech some
views and opinions in a democratic country It is the me-
dium of expressing an opinion of the people It justifies
the individual right to speech and expression a coveted
right enshrined in the Indian constitution and the law of
other countries on the globe
The importance of freedom of press lies in the fact that
for most citizens the prospect of personal familiarity with
newsworthy events is unrealistic In seeking out news the
media therefore acts for the public in large it is the means
by which people receive free flow of information and ide-
as which is essential to intelligence self-governance that
is in turn democracy For a proper functioning of democ-
racy it is essential that
citizens are informed
about news from vari-
ous parts of the coun-
try and even abroad because only then can they form ra-
tional opinions A citizen surely cannot be expected per-
sonally to gather news to enable him or her to form such
opinions Hence the media plays an important role in a
democracy and serves as an agency of the people to gath-
er news for them
It is for this reason that freedom of press has been empha-
sised in all democratic countries while it was not permit-
ted in feudal or totalitarian regimes
In India the media have a great responsibility also to see
that the news they present is accurate and serve the inter-
est of the people If the media convey false news that may
harm the reputation of a person or a section of society it
may do a great damage since reputation is a valuable asset
for a person
Even if the media subsequently correct a statement the
damage done may be irreparable Hence the media should
take care to carefully investigate any news item before
carefully reporting it
I know of a case were the photograph of a High Court
judge who was known to be upright was shown on a TV
New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 22
channel along with that of a known criminal The alle-
gation against the judge was that he had acquired the
land not in any discretionary quota but in the open
market at the market priceAlso sometimes the media
present twisted or distorted news that may contain an
element of truth but also an element of untruth This
too should be avoided because a half-truth can be
more dangerous than a total lie The media should
avoid giving any slant to news and avoid sensational-
ism and yellow journalism Only then will they gain
the respect of the people and fulfil their true role in a
democracySome newspapers espouse the cause of
only one community
ldquoThey do not judge problems on their merits They
view problems from a communal angle Such newspa-
pers do disservice to the nation On the other hand
some responsible newspapers exercise great restraint
while reporting news about riots between two commu-
nities They never give the identity of the community
which started the riot If there are any casualties they
do not give a community-wise break up lest this
should trigger off a bigger riot
In India most of the newspapers are controlled by
business magnates Such newspapers therefore pro-
mote the interest of the capitalists by given tainted
news They pay no heed even to the genuine prob-
lems of the worker^ farmers artisans and other
weaker sections of the people
The press is the defender and the protector of the
rights and liberties of the people But it can per-
form this role only if it enjoys freedom in publish-
ing news views and reporting It can function ef-
fectively only in an open society where decisions are
made in a democratic manner The press should not be
scared of influential people The press should consider
it their duty to protect the right of the workers and oth-
er downtrodden sections of the people
While the press should enjoy freedom to perform its
role effectively it should not treat such freedom as a
licence to defame anybody It should not publish any
views or support any movement which violates our
Constitution or is against the territorial integrity and
unity of the country
To the conclusion As the worldrsquos largest democracy
India has a duty to ensure that the press has the duty to
disseminate information and express opinions without
excessive censorship Unfortunately in recent years
the right has been increasingly curbed This oppres-
sion of press is an alarming trend as it does not allow
for proper checks and balances on the government and
its activities The people of our country need to re-
member that in order to have a strong democracy they
need a strong and free press

Our Future Earth
- Hiya Purswani VIII B
We all know the present condition of our environment
around us Inspite of advanced and modern technolo-
gy we humans are still not able to find a solution
Early humans neither they had much technology nor
they had enough intelligence but still in the early ages
the environment was clean making it the reason for
the increasing life span of humans Its a shocking
news to know that the amount of plastic bottles pro-
duced now may lead to increase in plastic pollution
and cause several death
Its a great opportunity to be as a human in this beauti-
ful earth and so itrsquos our responsibility to make it
clean In monsoon people cut down trees to prevent
accidents to occur but do we plant trees in summer to
prevent more global warming We can prevent bad
things to happen but not cannot take that much efforts
for good things to spread Have you ever wondered
while seeing a tap open how many taps are left open
at the same time in the whole world It might sound
unbelievable there can be a World War III on water
land and fresh air The way we are thinking about the
wastage of water may lead us to a massive pain I trsquos
truly said by Warren Buffet sometimes to buy things
we need we have to sell things we do not need This
happens in the case of lacking of intelligence We say
every scholar is a true genius but in my opinion a per-
son is genius if he has the ability to save and change
things in his own way We all have the ability to save
this earth but our thoughts our ego and our greedi-
ness is stopping us to think in a better way rdquoEveryone
has a good and a bad side in his life What matters is
the part we choose to act upon rdquoThis is an excellent
thought said by Sirius Black in the movie Harry Pot-
ter Itrsquos time to bring a change
We always have time to do good things all we need is
hope Spreading awareness is the best idea to bring a
change If everyone stops thinking about their eco-
nomical needs and start contributing towards the envi-
ronment by planting more trees certainly there will be
a beneficial change in this world Neither do we think
about the future nor care about the present Why not
be an optimist and think in a positive way of life Our
studies our needs our knowledge will not help us in
any way if we donrsquot change Its not that easy to plant a
tree and care for it a whole year but if we only plant it
with all our love nature is certainly going to care for
it Lastly I would like to end with a quote Come
forth in the light of things nature will be your teach-
er
Endeavor
- Heet Shripal Kankariya VII-G
It is hard to recall the past
but good thoughts are forever
Remember the step you took
May it be stupid or clever
Though the time runs out
your hope should never
Dont lose ittry and endeavor
Do your best even if the conse-
quences make your work the worst
Try and try and make your work better
It is hard to recall the past
but good thoughts are forever
Remember the step you took maybe stupid or clever

The Aloof Humans - A curse to mother
earth - Vaijayanthimala Navneet VIII-J
With all the night strength and gust
Preserving nature is must
Mother Nature has been so lucrative
Letrsquos do something to save her
Something new and creativersquo
Let us get pollution under control
Before mother Earth weeps and implores
Let clean air sweep
Both high and deep
Let the tiny piece of land
Be clean tidy and neat
Let uncontaminated water be
So that everything doesnrsquot
end like the sea
Let the tree stand
lsquoCause it is more alluring than the seven colour band
Without being loquacious
Mother nature is indeed precious
The Little girl
- Bhumika Sharma VI-F
I found in a garage
Near the carriage
A tiny little baby girl
She had cute blue eyes
Which were very small in size
And had beautiful hair with a cute little curl
I wonder why she was there
And she came fromhellipwhere
I then asked a person passing on the road
If he knew the merciless who
kept her near the horses and
toads
The person replied ldquoWho cares
O Madamhellip
hellipFor a girl who is denied by her
dad and mum
I felt very sad and cried
But I saved her lest she died
Who will save many such girls
Imagine a world without these pearls
Treat them with respect and love
The Little Guest - Ashwathy Ganesh VI ndashD
It was rainy season
At home came a pigeon
It made its nest and was a pest
But there came another guest
Who shooed away the little pest
First there was nothing but a basket of twigs
And I watched it eating figs
When the thunder came with the rain
I got a bit scared
But it didnrsquot fly away
Because I took care
Soon there were three small
eggs
Which were taken care of by the guest
The bird is easy to guess
Because it doesnrsquot make a mess
With its red tail
It looked a bit frail
Between the plants green full full
Was the nest of the little Bulbul

The Art of Dharma as per Mahabharata
- Abhishek Singh [Teacher SrSecondary]
Dharma means the Duty or RighteousnessDharma is
subtle many times we are forced to take wrong
means for right means(and ends us like Arjuna in hell)
or reaches wrong ends following right means(like
Yudhishthira in exile)Its like the Ying and Yang
Duryodhanarsquos envy for the Pandvarsquos Indraprastha and
Yudhishthirarsquos greed or addiction to a game of dice
and win more territory was the main cause of war
The envy can result in healthy competitiveness raising
oneself up by making the envious work harder for
rivalrsquos possessions or eternal sickness to pull the rival
downThe envy and greed are both presents even in
the
modern day world the failure
of communism was caused by
envy among citizens while the
capitalist system is stranded by greed The aim of so-
ciety should not be to suppress these feelings among
its citizens but to channelize them productively Envy
is the vice of socialism Greed is the evil of capital-
ism
Dharma is not justice Its difference between Retribu-
tive Justice and forgiveness While a nation with
stronger legal laws can prefer justice over peace the
newly created or war-torn nations with weaker legal
laws should prefer to restore peace and harmony in
society rather than emphasizing justice
Beware You are in for a scare

wide open and my whole body was horror-struck
Then all the unwanted noises came into focus ndash the
noises from outside noises of something creaking and
the wind forcefully blowing through the thin slit of the
window eerily
I was panic-stricken I
quickly switched my
phone off and kept it on
the table beside and did
not bother about changing my clothes and covered my
face with a blanket and hugged it tightly I could not
even think of sleeping Every second the clock ticked
I hugged the blanket harder My face and chest were
drenched in sweat I felt some supernatural move-
ments around me something trying to reach out to
me
By then I was praying to God to take me away from
that place I was ready to die Then something hap-
pened and I became frantic from tip to toe lsquoIt is Tues-
day todayrsquo The virtual assistant of my phone said but
I clearly remembered that I had switched off my
phone Who asked the question It was this trauma
that I couldnrsquot bear and today I am here telling you
this story after turning into a roaming soul Look to
your right I am right beside you

Travelling Aaryan Aggarwal IX - B
Travelling is an experience It doesnrsquot matter where
you travel Every place is great in its own ways You
could go to a culturally rich yet underdeveloped place
or you could go to an advanced metropolitan place
You could travel slow paced or you could be adven-
turous and go off the beaten path You could go to the
beach you could go to a museum It wonrsquot matter as
wherever you go you will always get a new and
different experience The experiences will open your
mind to a whole new world and culture which will
change your understanding and preconceived notions
about that place You will also get an opportunity to
detoxify yourself from social media Thus I believe
that travelling is more than just a hobby and can
change your entire thought process and state of
mind
Wallflower
- Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
She lived under a rock
More by force than by will
She lived there so long
She had nothing to fight with
All these people pushing her down
Her feeble frame could fight no long
She vowed to never stop the struggle
Until she had on her temples the crown
Declaring to the world her change
after years bygone
From being the young shy girl they saw
But all this struggle slowly had her crumbling
As she withered her dreams fading
Cause promises are sometimes left undone
When fate decides to yield a gun
And the world never saw the light
Of a wallflower wishing to shine so bright
Being Myself -Nidhi Mishra VIII-G
I did never lie to myself
Never strived to be someone else
And so I never shy
To look myself straight in the eye
I did never hide myself
And lavish a priceless gift
Having lsquolifersquo as its spell
Being myself Irsquoll uplift
Life is too short
Donrsquot be someone else
A onetime offer we have got
Even more precious than a thousand jewels

Women Empowerment - Devangi Dongre VII-B
The abilities of women in making decisions educa-
tion and profession have been largely suppressed
since ages considering them inferior to men The sit-
uation is worst in underdeveloped and developing na-
tions where women in a family are not allowed to
take financial decisions or decide on matters regard-
ing their own educationWith such state of affairs it
would be a fallacy to dream about the goals of sus-
tainable development and gender equality There is an
instant need to take measures to lift the social
personal and professional
status of women bringing
them shoulder to shoulder
with men These particular
measures constitute a pro-
cess which is known as ldquoWomen Empowermentrdquo
Providing better education and employment opportu-
nities to women ensuring their better health provid-
ing justice and ensuring professional equivalence are
the few methods of women empowerment

LunaVenture Beyond Horizons
- Aaryan Aggarwal IX-B
He looked from afar at his towering creation A re-
mote island in the Pacific Ocean seemed like a great
refuge after what had been happening on the Earth
He chose secrecy as his mission had raised many eye-
brows The plan was simple lsquoEscape and start overrsquo
Right now Moon seemed to be the most viable option
in terms of survival The research had been done
Moon was habitable So close to our abode our cos-
mic neighbor the Moon must exist for a reason It-
will not just be a secondary habitat but also be a step-
ping stone for further progress
His meticulously crafted plan was now just minutes
away from execution A team of four explorers would
first leave Earth and explore the Moon to test his hy-
pothesis Once a temporary col-
ony using genetically engi-
neered pods containing human
embryos is set up they would
further analyze the surroundings and find ways to
make it more habitable The lesser gravitational pull
which allowed for a comparatively lower escape ve-
locity made it easier to transport resources from the
Earth or the ISS Sure it would be difficult at first
Earth is unmatched but he knew it was for the greater
good of mankind It would mean more opportunities
and help us understand our place in this universe
Right now we have confined ourselves in a box and
this is the only way to leave it and unleash the won-
ders of the universe In front of his eyes it flew never
to come back

Make the Choice
-Nidhi Mishra VIII-G
My vision reflects its flaming intention
Irsquom steady upon the decision
About which Irsquoll never disclaim
Accepting the outcome never blame
To impulse refer those achieves
Itrsquos your resolve donrsquot quit
There wasnrsquot any lose that grieves
There was just a lesson in it
I turn down to immure oneself
In the decision of mine
I possess optimism in myself
And so I believe everything
will be fine
Though it may be tough
To perceive ones way to success
A dose of victory isnrsquot enough
Itrsquos always limitless
Television Pros and Cons
- Soumya Sheth
What do most of the people do these days to entertain
themselvesEveryone likes to switch ON their televi-
sion sets which is one of the exceptional inventions of
science When our Dads come home tired after office
the first thing they would like to do is switch On the
TV and relax while watching it from his sofa seat
This is because while watching different things that
are broadcasted on TV we forget our worries and re-
grets of the day
However like every good and popular inventions tel-
evision also has its set of some worrying habits that
people get hitched to For example sometimes kids
watch it for extensive time thereby affecting their
studies This is one of the most worrying habit for par-
ents and we should know that ignoring studies is not
good for our future and studying is as much important
for us at this tender age more than anything elseItrsquos
true that television can bring us the knowledge from
across the world We can see different parts of the
world virtually sitting at the same place But we
should know how
we can use this
incredible inven-
tion of science in
the right and bene-
ficial way for us Now-a-days Smart TVs have be-
come even more popular We can even use internet on
those TVs Use Google to search for answers we donrsquot
know use YouTube to understand how things are
made or get our doubts cleared and much much more
To summarize it I would like to urge all my fellow
students to use this precious invention of science in a
way that will benefit you to gain constructive
knowledge and avoid destructive knowledge We
should know that television is not the world but only a
small component of this world Please know that there
are other things in life which we should enjoy too
along with giving utmost importance to our studies

The night before the final examination
-Marisha Nath VIII- C
The night before the final examination appears to all
examinees as the night before the Battle of Waterloo
might have appeared to Napoleon or the Duke of Wel-
lington Our system of education being what it is we
examinees are bound to be anxious about the nature of
the nature of the questions we will have to answer
next day Even an earnest student who has done all
that needs be done by way of nervousness uncertainty
and suspense on the night before the examination The
morning of the examination finds them prostate with
nervous disorder
But this is one side the picture There are students
who may be described as soldiers of fortune They are
daredevil youngsters who do not take their examina-
tions seriously But their lack of preparation is more
than made up for by the short cuts or bazar notes they
have provided themselves with Even on the night
before the examina-
tion they would be
going about their
daily rounds They
may be found in the parks cafes and restaurants talk-
ing about tips ndashtalking glibly and confidently about
what questions are sure to come The morning of the
examination finds them as cheerful as they were on
the night before
What is needed most is self-confidence and a cool
head True we do not remember all that we have read
when we go to the Examination Hall This does not
mean that we have forgotten them Many things re-
main in the sub ndashconscious region They jump into
consciousness when we face the questions and seri-
ously think of the answers Often such answers score
more marks than prepared ones
Elegance
-Prajna VIII-D
Elegant you be for the universe to learn your versatility
Brighter you shine the orb will know your sustenance
The stars moons and clouds let know your dignity
Apparently it seems your flawless abundance
The ideal triumph mustnrsquot be exaggerated
Till you salve someonersquos hurt
Elegant you be for the universe to learn your versatility
How can you be silent if you donrsquot know your efficiency
One of the values to become successful is simplicity
Through elegance letrsquos spread positivist

Chocoland - Talreja Aastha IV-J
Once I had been to the Chocolate Land
Chocolate all around to the reach of my hand
Toffees candies lollies and bars
In my mouth a crunchy munchy war
White dark nutty and sweet
Just like a dreamy treat
Colourful wrapper shiny and bright
Which one to choose which would be right
Houses made of chocolates and doors made of bars
And out stood there a chocolate car
Soon after it was 6 oclock
And could hear the doorrsquos knock
I woke up in a hurry
Just to realise that it was a dream
Me Myself

The ant and the elephant
- SOUMEN RAO IV-E
Once upon a time in a forest there lived an ant and an
elephant The elephant was the biggest among all the
elephants So he was very proud of himself and used
to criticize everyone and the ant which was the tiniest
among them was very happy and cheerful It used to
help everyone I its own way
All the animals in the forest used to complain about
the egoistic elephant So one day when the ant saw the
elephant walking towards it it immediately thought of
a plan As soon as the elephant came near the ant
said ldquoHello My friendrdquo but the elephant replied rude-
ly saying ldquoYou tiny
ant Get off my way
otherwise yoursquoll get
crushed to deathrdquo
Hearing this ant
challenged the elephant sayingrdquo My big friend I can
make you cryrdquo The ant quickly climbed onto the trunk
of the elephant and ran towards its earit went inside
the ear and started biting the elephants ear The ele-
phant tried to flap its ears but in vain After a few
minutes tears started rolling down its eyes It cried
ldquoPlease come out of my ear I canrsquot bear the painrdquo As
soon as the ant came out the elephant apologized for
its mistake and didnrsquot tease any animals from that day
Grandparents
-Aditya Patil VIII-E
The best place in vacation
A heaven like destination
Their love for us is endless
All their sacrifices are worthless
Great is their surrounding divinity
In front of our ordinary identity
To your grandparents never be rude
Because they are your
coolest dude
They yell at our parents
when we are shouted
With generosity and be-
nevolence they are bounded
Be sure to always meet your grandparents once in a
while and enhance yourself by their presence

Water Conservation
- Paarth Bhagat VII-J
Water is life If there was no water there would be no
life Hence water is the precious gift of God to mother
Earth We cannot imagine our lives without water
We human beings are made up of water it is the only
transportation medium that carries the food molecules
and oxygen to the cells of every body parts to help the
blood It signifies that water is the most essential in-
gredient to the functioning of life of every organism
So you see living this wonderful life is impossible
without water
Water is the force behind all the industry agriculture
manufacturing and trade and commerce All forms of
energy generation is done using water Be it hydroe-
lectrically projects or thermal power plant or nuclear
power plant water is
the key ingredient in
all of them There
would be no power
without water No
water no life
So it is our responsibility to conserve this life nectar
It is possible only through by changing our outlook
towards this wonderful natural resource We must en-
sure there is no pollution of water bodies by dumping
any waste such as sewage effluents and other toxic
substances We must also ensure there is no emission
of green-house gases into the atmosphere The people
and the government must ensure installation of efflu-
ents and smoke treatment plants at industrial garbage
and sewage units

The kind Fairies -Aditys Patil VIII-E
This story starts with two beautiful babies in a king-
dom called fairyland The babies were very pretty
Their names were Ovi and Riddhi They were growing
pretty well As they grew they became more and
more pretty Over and over they were also fairies and
within 5 years they became young girls Their mother
told them to go to school The girls askedwhere are
the schools There are no schools here Mother said
dont worry you will go to the planet Earth On the
planet Earth there is a very good school named New
Horizon Public School and the short form is nhps We
said ok On the first day of our school we were very
afraid but after a few days we
became more smart than the
others We were getting a lot of
prizes which we shared with
eveyone in the school This
made us and others happy One day We became the
princess of fairyland Our wings were like a rainbow
We were twins and had very long hairs Now I end
my story with a beautiful quote
ALWAYS HELP EACH OTHER LIKE THE
FARIES BECAUSE HELPING PEOPLE IS THE
PATH TO GOD
The Day Irsquoll Never Forget - Saranya Sarangi VII -
It was a day of love and affection
There was no visible sign of caution
But something unfortunate was going to happen
Nobody knew where and when
There was a blast at half past three
In a beauty land called Paradise On Earth
A complete silence and pity hadnrsquot the thee
Perished laid the martyrs
Whom our motherland gave birth
I still remember that scaring sight
The scattered limbs I couldnrsquot see
My heart got filled with grief and fright
No Indian could glee
Terribly writhing the soldiers were seen
Some families languished and some
were crying
So loyal to their country they had been
None of their families were mollifying
Whatever homage to our martyrs we pay
Tiny before their they lay
Salute to their tribute to motherland
To protect us they always walked hand in hand
Little Birdie - Marisha Nath VIII-C
I am a little birdie in the sky
With two wings to fly
I never disturb you
I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom
O human Then why do you steal my FREEDOM
Binding me alone in the cage makes me sad
Donrsquot you know caging a bird is bad
Looking at the sky
I wish I could fly
I never disturb you
I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom
O human Then why do you steal my
FREEDOM

Summers in India - Saranya Sarangi VIII
A hot season beginning from April till May is what we
call summer And thatrsquos the basic rule in India But
thatrsquos not something through which we can define
summers in our country India The sun shining high
above the head increasing the heat and this scorching
heat is something very unique about summers in India
Those ice-lolly stalls roaming down the streets tin-
kling their tiny bells is something special one will nev-
er find in any other country Many people love this
season
Especially the children as they get to eat ice-creams
Many people even donrsquot As they feel that this season
can only make a person dehydrated exhausted and irri-
tated Summer as we think as an unfruitful season is
contrast in reality Schools conduct summer camps
during vacation where stu-
dents can join different aca-
demic and co-curricular
courses to improve them-
selves Many children even spend time with their fami-
lies
Often families plan trips to different places as they get
a very long vacation during this season But now-a-
days due to increasing heat these pleasant summers
are becoming unbearable Every just sweat and sweat
We get a lethargic feeling not ready to do any work
Due to this heat we continually keep the ACs on which
consume a lot of electricity creating trouble for our
mother Earth and us Gradually that charm of the
unique kind of summers will be lost if precautions are
not taken We must really hope and work hard to bring
back our lovely lsquoSummers in Indiarsquo
Exams are good or bad
- Nupoor Teli VIIIndashI
In my humble opinionexams are apressure on the stu-
dents They are forced to study and score good
markswhich can lead to frustration An environmentof
competitivenessof standing first is created for which
students keep on studying day and night without any
recreation It is good to studybut not just for the sake
of gaining marks
Why do we study What is the main intention behind
education Seeking intersresting and fascinating
knowledge as well as facts about the world But now-a
-daysthe main reason for studying is gaining marks If
there are no marksno career andno success This is the
mindset of 70 people of the worldespecially parents
They pressurize their children so much that they get
depressed or sometimes attempt suicide as well
Every two months an exam is conducted Moreo-
verthere are projectssubject-enrichment activi-
tieschapter test sfter every topicnotebookfile submis
sion etcAnd as acherry on top
of the cakewe have the semes-
ter exams of eighty marks as
well What all will the students
do And even if any extra-
curricular activities are being learntthen more extra
studies Just studystudy and study
Why so much of tension on the children Under this
tension only they start cheating As time passes cheat-
ing becomes a habit of their life
I fell that exams should be conducted once a term in
order to evaluate whether the students are clear with
the concepts or notThey shouldnt be pressurized for
their marksbut should be made understand their mis-
takes Let them choose their own career options on
their own Help them knowwhat they like to study and
what they want to do in their life So dont pressurize
students for what they dont likeand encourage them in
what they do After allthey are only the Rising stars of
the country

Life is magical - Piyush Sahoo VII-H
A new day or a new night
Everything in life seems bright
A new morning or a new evening
Life is full of happening
A life is just like a kite
It may disappear in a sight
Life moves from baby to old
Make your life challenging and bold
Enjoy life the fullest
Never accept less than best
Unlikely life comes to an end
But remember never to bend
Happy sadness victory and loss
Accept it the way it comes
Life can be at times tragical
But make it the most beautiful
Life is magicalhellip
Life is so magicalhellip
Humility -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
Humility is having a heart to treat others with respect
and love Considering people worthy of your love
time and efforts regardless of who they are or what
they have done A person is truly humble when they
are willing to work hard for others expecting nothing
in return
Humility has the power to change a personrsquos perspec-
tive towards life It can make a difference in the way a
person is looked upon by others Doing an act of hum-
bleness can make a personrsquos day Humility is about
not having an ego or considering things below your
dignity or considering yourself greater than others
People often confuse humility with self-respect They
canrsquot make out the difference between being useful to
others and being used by others
It takes courage to be humble
because in the era in which we
live humility is looked upon as
weakness People assume yoursquore not strong enough to
stand up for yourself They think you surrender in-
stead of protesting They will despise and scorn you
but they donrsquot know that you take pleasure in what
you do because they havenrsquot experienced that kind of
joy
So if you do have humility donrsquot draw back from it
because of what others think Whatever you are doing
is for the good of others and you have no need to be
ashamed of that Humbleness will spread from person
to person Who knows maybe your one act of humili-
ty will spread on to help a person in need So be brave
be humble
Mom -Tanvi Sawant VII-C

dark

OUR FUTURE EARTH - Hiya Purswani VIII-B
We all know the present condition of our environment
around us Inspite of advanced and modern technolo-
gy we humans are still not able to find a solution
Early humans neither they had much technology nor
they had enough intelligence but still in the early ages
the environment was clean making it the reason for
the increasing life span of humans Its a shocking
news to know that the amount of plastic bottles pro-
duced now may lead to increase in plastic pollution
and cause several death Its a great opportunity to be
as a human in this beautiful earth and so its our re-
sponsibility to make it clean In monsoon people cut
down trees to prevent accidents to occur but do we
plant trees in summer to prevent more global warm-
ing We can prevent bad things to happen but not can-
not take that much effort for good things to spread
Have you ever wondered while seeing a tap open how
many taps are left open at the same time in the whole
world It might sound unbelievable there can be a
World War III on water land and fresh air The way
we are thinking about the wastage of water may lead
us to a massive pain Itrsquos truly said by Warren Buffet
sometimes to buy things we need we have to sell
things we do not need This happens in the case of
lacking of intelligence We say every scholar is a true
genius but in my
opinion a person is
genius if he has the
ability to save and
change things in his
own way We all have the ability to save this earth
but our thoughts our ego and our greediness is stop-
ping us to think in a better way Everyone has a good
and a bad side in his life What matters is the part we
choose to act upon This is an excellent thought said
by Sirius Black in the movie Harry Potter Itrsquos time to
bring a change We always have time to do good
things all we need is hope Spreading awareness is the
best idea to bring a change If everyone stops thinking
about their economical needs and start contributing
towards the environment by planting more trees cer-
tainly there will be a beneficial change in this world
Neither do we think about the future nor care about
the present Why not be an optimist and think in a
positive way of life Our studies our needs our
knowledge will not help us in any way if we donʼt
change Its not that easy to plant a tree and care for it a
whole year if we only plant it with all our love nature
is certainly going to care for it Lastly I would like to
end with a quoterdquo Come forth in the light of things
nature will be your teacher
The Small Hours Pranjal Anil Chavan V-C
No more my little song Come back
And now of nights I lay my head on down
to watch the black
And wait the unfailing gray
Oh Sad are winter nights and slow
And sad is a song thatrsquos dumb
And sad it is to lie I know
Another dawn will come

Floods and Destruction
- Nirvi Soni IV-H
India faces occurrence of floods each year in some
parts of Assam during the rainy season Water of river
Brahmaputra rises and enters into many villages
causing great destruction Floods are unavoidable but
we need to take precautions in the following ways by
reducing mining activities building dams growing
more trees etc During floods the weather becomes
wet and gloomy Trees and plants get uprooted This
way floods cause great de-
struction to both life and
property It also becomes dif-
ficult to travel from place to
place Many people are left
homeless The rain water should be harvested and
stored in large storage tanks The harvested rainwater
can be used for washing clothes and cleaning By us-
ing rain water in our daily life we can preserve water
resources
Good Morning Everyone -Vyomi ThakkarVI - H
Come with me wersquoll have some fun
Wersquoll go on a walk
Donrsquot worry will have a great talk
Roaming around the ground
With beautiful birdrsquos sound
We donrsquot know if anything will be found
Wersquoll surely find the crown
Up on the chilled mountain
We saw a beautiful fountain
Surrounded by a beautiful castle
Decorated with the colourful tassel
Just be quiet and keen
Soon you will be the queen
Think before you speak
-Shravya Atreya IX-D
Think before you speak
There are hearts you must please
Think before you speak
You canrsquot undo the harm done after you squeak
Think before you speak
You might have done greater harm than you might
think
Think before you speak
There are still places left for you
to seek
Think before you speak
There is a long way to go before
you sleep
Think before you speak
There are hearts you must
please

staring at his own in the
enamelled sea
Everything is fine
With fading stars and rising light

GLOBAL WARMING - Adhyant Singh VII-F
Global warming refers to the steady rise in the Earthrsquos mean temperature The effect of global
warming had come into sight when polar ice caps started melting this phenomena is called ICE ndash
ALBEDO the ice caps melt faster due to the rise in the temperature This sudden rise in the temperature near
the poles began in 1999 The polar ice caps in Antarctica melt at the rate of 400000000000 tons per year ac-
cording to some scientists it would approximately take 5000 years to melt the total ice on earth In 2013 Inter-
governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) stated that the main cause of Global warming is human inter-
vention like emission of Green house gases like Carbon-Di-Oxide nitrous oxide and methane
These gases trap the heat which is reflected by the Earthrsquos surface thus increasing the temperature and also
destroying the ozone layer which prevents the ultraviolet rays of the sun from reaching the earthrsquos surface Al-
so burning fossil fuel contributes to the problem Effects of global warming have also led to the increase in the
sea level and extreme weather like heat waves and change in the regional pattern of precipitation and the ex-
pansion of desserts A concentrated and focused effort by the entire humanity can curb down the impact of
Global warming and also prevent it Planting more trees to control the amount of carbon-di-oxide eliminating
the use of chlorofluorocarbon or (CFCrsquoS) are a few steps All the countries have signed up with the United Na-
tions Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to prevent the doomsday of Earth So to prevent
earthrsquos doomsday we all must work together
Itrsquos not too late there is still timehellipBefore the earth ends and we whinehellipSo keep on marching and planting
greens To end Global Warming and Make our planet greenhellip
What will happen without Instagram
- Kaavya Chaudhary VII-F
Instagram Instagram Instagram
I was hearing it from everyone
I asked who was the inventor
Nobody knew the answer to my question
Mobiles Mobiles Mobiles
I was able to see them everywhere
I asked who was the inventor
Again nobody was aware
I wondered why was it like so
Why is it they donrsquot know
There was one time we were
engrossed in books
Now we care more about our looks
Instagram wonrsquot give you a job
You will have to study and top
Your fellow followers wonrsquot help either
If you donrsquot have a job no one will bother
I am a tree
- Yashawini Pillai
I am a tree
With a dark green crown
And a thick strong trunk
Above the ground
I give you food
I give you fruits
I give you medicine
I give you wood
I need some sunlight
And some fresh air
I need some water
And your loving care

The Night - Matangi Rajesh VII-D
Its the night
The moon is white
When we switch off the light
What a beautiful sight
After this comes the sun bright
There is no more artificial light
This is the time to start your diet
To go for a run wearing tights
Then comes the evening when
you have snacks light
And fly a big colorful kite
or include your sibling in a pillow fight
Again comes the night
A moon which is white
We switch off the light
A beautiful sight

Hyperloop -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
Human inventions have baffled the world They are
innumerable ranging from revolutionizing
smartphones to not-so-breathtaking ice cream cones
but they play a role in our life just the same The
things which are commonplace to us now were unbe-
knownst to people once upon a time For the people of
the 19th century the car was a thing of the future until
in 1885 Karl Benz ran his first car on the road Then
for centuries people took the prospect of of flying like
the birds as only a wild possibility which was made
possible in 1903 when the Wright Brothers flew the
first plane
What is the thing of the future for us Well we are the
future modifying and bettering the things that have
been made and crating stuff that we didnt even dare
to imagine about The Hyperloop fulfills both aspects
of the definition a very advanced model of our faith-
ful train and yet a brand new idea to scale greater
heights The Hyperloop is an ideal mode of efficient
transport Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane
with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing
speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt have to
ace the two types of friction that every other vehicle
has to face Air resistance and ground friction The
pods of the Hyperloop are propelled through a depres-
surized tub Since it is almost vacuum very little air
resistance can be offered inside the tube Due to this
the energy required to travel is also very less The Hy-
perloops unique technology uses magnetic levitation
to guide and lift the pods of the rail Since the pod is
not in contact with the ground there is no friction act-
ing on itThe first Hyperloop ndash virgin Hyperloop one
is set to run with passengers as early as 2021 and is
created by SpaceX and Tesla
The mastermind behind the Hyperloop is Elon Musk
who first published a 58 page white-paper on the web-
site of his company-Space X It was available to all
and was titled Hyperloop alpha The Hyperloop may
be the pioneer of a whole new era of transportation
traveling a distance which would otherwise take 12
hours in just I hour it has crossed all known bounda-
ries and created higher limits for us to reach and reach
we must for when time is money and money is time
an option that saves both needs to be used
Exams are good or bad -Nupoor Teli VIII
In my humble opinion exams are pressure on the stu-
dents They are forced to study and score good marks
which can lead to frustration An environment of com-
petitiveness of standing first is created for which stu-
dents keep on studying day and night without any rec-
reation It is good to study but not just for the sake of
gaining marks
Why do we study What is the main intention behind
education Seeking interesting and fascinating
knowledge as well as facts about the world But now-a
-days the main reason for studying is gaining marks
If there are no marks no career and no success This
is the mindset of 70 people of the world especially
parents They pressurize their children so much that
they get depressed or sometimes attempt suicide as
wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-
ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities
chapter test after every topic notebookfile submis-
sion etc And as cherry on top of the cake we have the
semester exams of eighty marks as well What all will
the students do And even if any extra-curricular ac-
tivities are being learnt then more extra studies Just
study study and study
Why so much of tension on the children Under this
tension only they start cheating As time passes cheat-
ing becomes a habit of their lifeI fell that exams
should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate
whether the students are clear with the concepts or
not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but
should be made understand their mistakes Let them
choose their own career options on their own Help
them know what they like to study and what they want
to do in their life So dont pressurize students for
what they dont like and encourage them in what they
do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the
country

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B
Life is all about interactions You meet people and
you interact You observe them consciously or sub-
consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us
more than we even realise Some people leave a last-
ing impression on us and entirely change the course of
life for better or for worse Some people influence us
help us go further and make all the difference
I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-
tial people They have taken care of me ever since I
came into this world They are the ones who wish the
best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-
cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel
no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-
come a part of my personality They are the ones who
helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me
to be better
When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are
the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-
takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique
learning experience It has made me realise how eve-
rything they do has a reason They are the ones who
have taught me the importance of the little things in
life They are the ones who have helped me recognize
and follow my passion The very thought of them not
being a part of my life is scary to the least as without
them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am
today and whatever I have achieved is all because of
them and I am very grateful of that
Eyesight
-Aditi Shenoy VIII-F
The tired little girl went to bed
Recollecting the days bygone
Seeing them in her dreams
As the day she was born
Trying to see the world
With her little eyes
But the sun with his brightness
Wouldnt let her catch the sights
The girl still eager
And curious to see the world around her
Again opened her eyes
But her vision was blurred
Still she did not lose hope
Which flowed through her blood
Encouraging and pushing her
To see the world further
Her heart beating fast
Her enthusiasm increasing
She slowly tried to see
With her eyes continuously blinking
Starting to lose hope
She was ready to give up
But curiosity got the upper hand
And pushed her forward
With her hope again rising
and strength in her eyesight
She is finally seeing the world
With wide open eyes

Conquering the space
-Marisha Nath VIII-C
ldquoThere is no failure in Science it is only continual
effort to conquer the unknown On the way even if we
face failure it rather adds more value to our effort for
our next journey to know the unknownrdquo
Chandrayan-2 Indiarsquos Moon Mission The dream of
entire India to land on moon and become the 4th Na-
tion in the world to put its flag on the soil of moon
after USSR USA amp China
ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launched
Chandrayan-2 on 22nd July 2019 from Bengaluru
(Satish Dhawan Space Center) under the command of
ISRO chief K Shivan It consists of ORBITER
LANDER amp Lunar Rover PRAGYAN Like Chandra-
yan-1(22nd Oct2008) it was Indiarsquos indigenous moon
mission
It touched the Moon Surface on Saturday early morn-
ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-
ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-
ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of
moon it lost contact with the ground station Because
of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be
monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m
(approx) away from its assigned location near
SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still
orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange
signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it
The ORBITER which will remain active for another
12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-
owed portion of the moon for the first time in history
with the help of its high-resolution camera
The entire Nation irrespective of their field of
knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front
of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of
VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true
Indians who always dream progress and development
of their motherland But our heart never accepts this
as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement
for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-
pose of our mission
But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at
this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring
country quoting this as a big failure on part of India
blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos
money on this
Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will
be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to
this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other
nations on such missions
Further I should say that India is not new in the field
of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-
TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975
It was named after famous scientist of ancient India
ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested
for the first time the HELIOCENTRIC THEORY
(Sun at the center and all planets revolve around the
Sun) of the Solar System much earlier than ready for
New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 57
COPERNICUS as believed in the western world
Other countries might have moon on their flags but
we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is
great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are
whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-
rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is
only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the
unknown and its continual application for the benefit
of the mankind)rdquo
Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by
various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-
PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-
cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958
onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as
46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was
attempted out of which only 21 was successful
Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-
tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the
overall attempts conducted by other Nations
USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-
NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was
planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January
SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR
successfully on moon
NASA after many attempts was successful to send
first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th
July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk
on moon
Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-
clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-
SION MANGAL for our next moon mission

Monsoon -Isha Bhanushali VIII
The most alluring part in monsoon season is the way
people tackle them Every where you scan people are
struggling back to reach their home back safely and it
indeed gives you a sense of achievement when you
reach home without getting drained by the gushing
water the automobiles blow on youWell my case is a
little bit different Every time I attempt not to step in-
side the puddle the next step will certainly be inside
it
It was raining heavily that day and unlike my usual
days it was a special one I got dispersed from my
classes by 600 and not aware about the conditions
outside I stepped outside expecting my van to pick
me up Suddenly there was gloomy all around and
there was silence everywhere (huh Because the light
went off) and to add insult to injury I got a call from
my Sir that the van will be com-
ing 1 hour late
I after a while made up my
mind I will set out and go on
my ownI took my umbrella and set out with my
friend The roads were all muddy and the water
reached up to my ankle The situation got testified as
it started raining heavily We all expected the rain to
stop after a while but it was adamant throwing its
tantrums on us All over the road there were vehicles
parked and there was no way to move
But not giving up we carried forward to reach our des-
tination After a long tiring journey of 1km (which
took us almost 1hr) we reached our home safely I had
a feeling of accomplishing a big feat that day
But the climax is here
I had to listen to my Moms scolding
Yes because I had stepped inside a big puddle
Soldier - Marisha Nath VIII-C
Dear soldier you sacrifice yourself for your nation

You are our savior
You are in the list of Godrsquos golden fame
But alas No book mentions your name

Man Woman and Equality Poorvi Sanu IX-G
Why are women considered inferior to men Why is
it so Even in the olden days gender inequality was
very common
Sati widows shravana shraddha managala gaur
akshaya tritiya child marriage karva chauthhellip
etcetera etcetera etceteraWhat do these words re-
mind you of Yep Thatrsquos right These are all systems
for women
These are sacrifices and systems that women perform
for their better halves So that their spouses have a
long and safe life But what do these spouses do in
return Discriminate these women Consider them
inferior I think that only about 15 of men give
equal opportunities and rights to women
This number is increasing no doubt but then this is a
slow processMen work approximately 6 ndash 8 hours a
day Women on the other hand work at least 16
hours a day Yet men get salary and women in some
cases donrsquot
To all the men and boys reading this I have a few
questions for youDo you have the guts to perform all
housework with 5 guests in the house Do you have
enough courage to change your sur-
name after marriage Do you have
the guts to leave your ancestral home
where you have lived for at least 23
years Are you ready to be dominated
by women More importantly are you ready to listen
to pungent words from your mother-in-law And of
course do you guys have courage to bear a child for 9
months and 9 days and give birth and nurture the ba-
by
Giving birth is simultaneous to fracturing 20 ndash 21
bones at once Did men know this And yet they con-
sider women weak They think that because wersquore
women we cannot thinkIf we cannot think who is
Marie Curie If we are weak who delivers kids
Women arenrsquot any different They are children of
gods They arenrsquot your personal secretaries they are
your partnersOnly a woman knows how much suffer-
ing women go through And yet women are discrimi-
nated daily
What women want is love and respect They work
hard for it they toil day and night and what they get
ishellipabsolutely nothing
Is this right
Submission to Peer Pressure -Akshat Mishra IX -G
ldquoHey Mohan When did you get this new iPhone-Xrdquo
we asked him in surprise as we knew the financial
condition of his family ldquoMy cousin gifted it to merdquo
quipped Mohan sheepishly All the boys resumed
playing but I knew there was something amissPeer
pressure is becoming increasingly inevitable amongst
teenagers One may argue that it is a part of human
nature It may be pivotal for a human being but its
darker side is certainly the more powerful one
People are easily succumbing to peer pressure without
realising its consequences Just to gain respect in
someonersquos eyes they are even ready to quarrel with
their parents and ward their attention from their nec-
essary activities A recent survey suggested that the
maximum people in a rave are a group of teenagers
The clutches of peer pressure are so strong that people
arenrsquot being able to listen even to their conscience
The youth mostly is just littering around the streets
smoking cigarettes boozing or becoming a victim to
social networks sites like Facebook or Instagram Hu-
man resource is the most valuable resource that we
have and the youth are supposed to replenish this re-
source not just to become egoists The are the future
of the planet but sadly they arenrsquot forging the path for
mankind that they are supposed to
Hopefully there is some resistance against this social
evil in modern days Such people have sworn to stay
adamant and not stray from the rightful path These
days of hope do believe in working for the greater
good and are spreading awareness and showing the
society that peer pressure is deleterious sort individual
growth and well being

ldquoFreedom of Press in Democracyrdquo
- Poorvi Sanu IX-G
A free press and a free judiciary are two very important
cornerstones of a democracy Especially in the modern
era of widely accessible news and innumerable infor-
mation at our fingertips freedom of press is highly valued
liberty that citizens should be aware of and know the rea-
son why it is given to us as Indians Freedom means those
people who state the liberty or right and privileged to
speak according to their will
Freedom is that opportunity which we should never avoid
and in all bad situations it gives us all right to handle the
problems in our own innovative and thoughtful way Press
and media are the vital way to express and speech some
views and opinions in a democratic country It is the me-
dium of expressing an opinion of the people It justifies
the individual right to speech and expression a coveted
right enshrined in the Indian constitution and the law of
other countries on the globe
The importance of freedom of press lies in the fact that
for most citizens the prospect of personal familiarity with
newsworthy events is unrealistic In seeking out news the
media therefore acts for the public in large it is the means
by which people receive free flow of information and ide-
as which is essential to intelligence self-governance that
is in turn democracy For a proper functioning of democ-
racy it is essential that
citizens are informed
about news from vari-
ous parts of the coun-
try and even abroad because only then can they form ra-
tional opinions A citizen surely cannot be expected per-
sonally to gather news to enable him or her to form such
opinions Hence the media plays an important role in a
democracy and serves as an agency of the people to gath-
er news for them
It is for this reason that freedom of press has been empha-
sised in all democratic countries while it was not permit-
ted in feudal or totalitarian regimes
In India the media have a great responsibility also to see
that the news they present is accurate and serve the inter-
est of the people If the media convey false news that may
harm the reputation of a person or a section of society it
may do a great damage since reputation is a valuable asset
for a person
Even if the media subsequently correct a statement the
damage done may be irreparable Hence the media should
take care to carefully investigate any news item before
carefully reporting it
I know of a case were the photograph of a High Court
judge who was known to be upright was shown on a TV
New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 22
channel along with that of a known criminal The alle-
gation against the judge was that he had acquired the
land not in any discretionary quota but in the open
market at the market priceAlso sometimes the media
present twisted or distorted news that may contain an
element of truth but also an element of untruth This
too should be avoided because a half-truth can be
more dangerous than a total lie The media should
avoid giving any slant to news and avoid sensational-
ism and yellow journalism Only then will they gain
the respect of the people and fulfil their true role in a
democracySome newspapers espouse the cause of
only one community
ldquoThey do not judge problems on their merits They
view problems from a communal angle Such newspa-
pers do disservice to the nation On the other hand
some responsible newspapers exercise great restraint
while reporting news about riots between two commu-
nities They never give the identity of the community
which started the riot If there are any casualties they
do not give a community-wise break up lest this
should trigger off a bigger riot
In India most of the newspapers are controlled by
business magnates Such newspapers therefore pro-
mote the interest of the capitalists by given tainted
news They pay no heed even to the genuine prob-
lems of the worker^ farmers artisans and other
weaker sections of the people
The press is the defender and the protector of the
rights and liberties of the people But it can per-
form this role only if it enjoys freedom in publish-
ing news views and reporting It can function ef-
fectively only in an open society where decisions are
made in a democratic manner The press should not be
scared of influential people The press should consider
it their duty to protect the right of the workers and oth-
er downtrodden sections of the people
While the press should enjoy freedom to perform its
role effectively it should not treat such freedom as a
licence to defame anybody It should not publish any
views or support any movement which violates our
Constitution or is against the territorial integrity and
unity of the country
To the conclusion As the worldrsquos largest democracy
India has a duty to ensure that the press has the duty to
disseminate information and express opinions without
excessive censorship Unfortunately in recent years
the right has been increasingly curbed This oppres-
sion of press is an alarming trend as it does not allow
for proper checks and balances on the government and
its activities The people of our country need to re-
member that in order to have a strong democracy they
need a strong and free press

Our Future Earth
- Hiya Purswani VIII B
We all know the present condition of our environment
around us Inspite of advanced and modern technolo-
gy we humans are still not able to find a solution
Early humans neither they had much technology nor
they had enough intelligence but still in the early ages
the environment was clean making it the reason for
the increasing life span of humans Its a shocking
news to know that the amount of plastic bottles pro-
duced now may lead to increase in plastic pollution
and cause several death
Its a great opportunity to be as a human in this beauti-
ful earth and so itrsquos our responsibility to make it
clean In monsoon people cut down trees to prevent
accidents to occur but do we plant trees in summer to
prevent more global warming We can prevent bad
things to happen but not cannot take that much efforts
for good things to spread Have you ever wondered
while seeing a tap open how many taps are left open
at the same time in the whole world It might sound
unbelievable there can be a World War III on water
land and fresh air The way we are thinking about the
wastage of water may lead us to a massive pain I trsquos
truly said by Warren Buffet sometimes to buy things
we need we have to sell things we do not need This
happens in the case of lacking of intelligence We say
every scholar is a true genius but in my opinion a per-
son is genius if he has the ability to save and change
things in his own way We all have the ability to save
this earth but our thoughts our ego and our greedi-
ness is stopping us to think in a better way rdquoEveryone
has a good and a bad side in his life What matters is
the part we choose to act upon rdquoThis is an excellent
thought said by Sirius Black in the movie Harry Pot-
ter Itrsquos time to bring a change
We always have time to do good things all we need is
hope Spreading awareness is the best idea to bring a
change If everyone stops thinking about their eco-
nomical needs and start contributing towards the envi-
ronment by planting more trees certainly there will be
a beneficial change in this world Neither do we think
about the future nor care about the present Why not
be an optimist and think in a positive way of life Our
studies our needs our knowledge will not help us in
any way if we donrsquot change Its not that easy to plant a
tree and care for it a whole year but if we only plant it
with all our love nature is certainly going to care for
it Lastly I would like to end with a quote Come
forth in the light of things nature will be your teach-
er
Endeavor
- Heet Shripal Kankariya VII-G
It is hard to recall the past
but good thoughts are forever
Remember the step you took
May it be stupid or clever
Though the time runs out
your hope should never
Dont lose ittry and endeavor
Do your best even if the conse-
quences make your work the worst
Try and try and make your work better
It is hard to recall the past
but good thoughts are forever
Remember the step you took maybe stupid or clever

The Aloof Humans - A curse to mother
earth - Vaijayanthimala Navneet VIII-J
With all the night strength and gust
Preserving nature is must
Mother Nature has been so lucrative
Letrsquos do something to save her
Something new and creativersquo
Let us get pollution under control
Before mother Earth weeps and implores
Let clean air sweep
Both high and deep
Let the tiny piece of land
Be clean tidy and neat
Let uncontaminated water be
So that everything doesnrsquot
end like the sea
Let the tree stand
lsquoCause it is more alluring than the seven colour band
Without being loquacious
Mother nature is indeed precious
The Little girl
- Bhumika Sharma VI-F
I found in a garage
Near the carriage
A tiny little baby girl
She had cute blue eyes
Which were very small in size
And had beautiful hair with a cute little curl
I wonder why she was there
And she came fromhellipwhere
I then asked a person passing on the road
If he knew the merciless who
kept her near the horses and
toads
The person replied ldquoWho cares
O Madamhellip
hellipFor a girl who is denied by her
dad and mum
I felt very sad and cried
But I saved her lest she died
Who will save many such girls
Imagine a world without these pearls
Treat them with respect and love
The Little Guest - Ashwathy Ganesh VI ndashD
It was rainy season
At home came a pigeon
It made its nest and was a pest
But there came another guest
Who shooed away the little pest
First there was nothing but a basket of twigs
And I watched it eating figs
When the thunder came with the rain
I got a bit scared
But it didnrsquot fly away
Because I took care
Soon there were three small
eggs
Which were taken care of by the guest
The bird is easy to guess
Because it doesnrsquot make a mess
With its red tail
It looked a bit frail
Between the plants green full full
Was the nest of the little Bulbul

The Art of Dharma as per Mahabharata
- Abhishek Singh [Teacher SrSecondary]
Dharma means the Duty or RighteousnessDharma is
subtle many times we are forced to take wrong
means for right means(and ends us like Arjuna in hell)
or reaches wrong ends following right means(like
Yudhishthira in exile)Its like the Ying and Yang
Duryodhanarsquos envy for the Pandvarsquos Indraprastha and
Yudhishthirarsquos greed or addiction to a game of dice
and win more territory was the main cause of war
The envy can result in healthy competitiveness raising
oneself up by making the envious work harder for
rivalrsquos possessions or eternal sickness to pull the rival
downThe envy and greed are both presents even in
the
modern day world the failure
of communism was caused by
envy among citizens while the
capitalist system is stranded by greed The aim of so-
ciety should not be to suppress these feelings among
its citizens but to channelize them productively Envy
is the vice of socialism Greed is the evil of capital-
ism
Dharma is not justice Its difference between Retribu-
tive Justice and forgiveness While a nation with
stronger legal laws can prefer justice over peace the
newly created or war-torn nations with weaker legal
laws should prefer to restore peace and harmony in
society rather than emphasizing justice
Beware You are in for a scare
- Ayush Lonakadi IX-C
I had returned home late but after reaching home I had
wished I had not reached home that day There was no
electricity which just made it creepier When I
reached my room my exhaustion made me forget that
I was famished I lay on the bed scrolling down pic-
tures I had recently clicked I relived happy moments
but someone out there wasnrsquot happy to see me happy
and I noticed a photograph in my phone which be-
mused me ndash not mentioning how frightened I had be-
come
The picture waswashow can I explain The back-
ground was of my house In the photoI was
sleeping Butbut how could that have been possi-
ble I lived alone there was no one to click my photo
while I was sleeping I was petrified with my eyes
wide open and my whole body was horror-struck
Then all the unwanted noises came into focus ndash the
noises from outside noises of something creaking and
the wind forcefully blowing through the thin slit of the
window eerily
I was panic-stricken I
quickly switched my
phone off and kept it on
the table beside and did
not bother about changing my clothes and covered my
face with a blanket and hugged it tightly I could not
even think of sleeping Every second the clock ticked
I hugged the blanket harder My face and chest were
drenched in sweat I felt some supernatural move-
ments around me something trying to reach out to
me
By then I was praying to God to take me away from
that place I was ready to die Then something hap-
pened and I became frantic from tip to toe lsquoIt is Tues-
day todayrsquo The virtual assistant of my phone said but
I clearly remembered that I had switched off my
phone Who asked the question It was this trauma
that I couldnrsquot bear and today I am here telling you
this story after turning into a roaming soul Look to
your right I am right beside you

Travelling Aaryan Aggarwal IX - B
Travelling is an experience It doesnrsquot matter where
you travel Every place is great in its own ways You
could go to a culturally rich yet underdeveloped place
or you could go to an advanced metropolitan place
You could travel slow paced or you could be adven-
turous and go off the beaten path You could go to the
beach you could go to a museum It wonrsquot matter as
wherever you go you will always get a new and
different experience The experiences will open your
mind to a whole new world and culture which will
change your understanding and preconceived notions
about that place You will also get an opportunity to
detoxify yourself from social media Thus I believe
that travelling is more than just a hobby and can
change your entire thought process and state of
mind
Wallflower
- Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
She lived under a rock
More by force than by will
She lived there so long
She had nothing to fight with
All these people pushing her down
Her feeble frame could fight no long
She vowed to never stop the struggle
Until she had on her temples the crown
Declaring to the world her change
after years bygone
From being the young shy girl they saw
But all this struggle slowly had her crumbling
As she withered her dreams fading
Cause promises are sometimes left undone
When fate decides to yield a gun
And the world never saw the light
Of a wallflower wishing to shine so bright
Being Myself -Nidhi Mishra VIII-G
I did never lie to myself
Never strived to be someone else
And so I never shy
To look myself straight in the eye
I did never hide myself
And lavish a priceless gift
Having lsquolifersquo as its spell
Being myself Irsquoll uplift
Life is too short
Donrsquot be someone else
A onetime offer we have got
Even more precious than a thousand jewels

Women Empowerment - Devangi Dongre VII-B
The abilities of women in making decisions educa-
tion and profession have been largely suppressed
since ages considering them inferior to men The sit-
uation is worst in underdeveloped and developing na-
tions where women in a family are not allowed to
take financial decisions or decide on matters regard-
ing their own educationWith such state of affairs it
would be a fallacy to dream about the goals of sus-
tainable development and gender equality There is an
instant need to take measures to lift the social
personal and professional
status of women bringing
them shoulder to shoulder
with men These particular
measures constitute a pro-
cess which is known as ldquoWomen Empowermentrdquo
Providing better education and employment opportu-
nities to women ensuring their better health provid-
ing justice and ensuring professional equivalence are
the few methods of women empowerment

LunaVenture Beyond Horizons
- Aaryan Aggarwal IX-B
He looked from afar at his towering creation A re-
mote island in the Pacific Ocean seemed like a great
refuge after what had been happening on the Earth
He chose secrecy as his mission had raised many eye-
brows The plan was simple lsquoEscape and start overrsquo
Right now Moon seemed to be the most viable option
in terms of survival The research had been done
Moon was habitable So close to our abode our cos-
mic neighbor the Moon must exist for a reason It-
will not just be a secondary habitat but also be a step-
ping stone for further progress
His meticulously crafted plan was now just minutes
away from execution A team of four explorers would
first leave Earth and explore the Moon to test his hy-
pothesis Once a temporary col-
ony using genetically engi-
neered pods containing human
embryos is set up they would
further analyze the surroundings and find ways to
make it more habitable The lesser gravitational pull
which allowed for a comparatively lower escape ve-
locity made it easier to transport resources from the
Earth or the ISS Sure it would be difficult at first
Earth is unmatched but he knew it was for the greater
good of mankind It would mean more opportunities
and help us understand our place in this universe
Right now we have confined ourselves in a box and
this is the only way to leave it and unleash the won-
ders of the universe In front of his eyes it flew never
to come back

Make the Choice
-Nidhi Mishra VIII-G
My vision reflects its flaming intention
Irsquom steady upon the decision
About which Irsquoll never disclaim
Accepting the outcome never blame
To impulse refer those achieves
Itrsquos your resolve donrsquot quit
There wasnrsquot any lose that grieves
There was just a lesson in it
I turn down to immure oneself
In the decision of mine
I possess optimism in myself
And so I believe everything
will be fine
Though it may be tough
To perceive ones way to success
A dose of victory isnrsquot enough
Itrsquos always limitless
Television Pros and Cons
- Soumya Sheth
What do most of the people do these days to entertain
themselvesEveryone likes to switch ON their televi-
sion sets which is one of the exceptional inventions of
science When our Dads come home tired after office
the first thing they would like to do is switch On the
TV and relax while watching it from his sofa seat
This is because while watching different things that
are broadcasted on TV we forget our worries and re-
grets of the day
However like every good and popular inventions tel-
evision also has its set of some worrying habits that
people get hitched to For example sometimes kids
watch it for extensive time thereby affecting their
studies This is one of the most worrying habit for par-
ents and we should know that ignoring studies is not
good for our future and studying is as much important
for us at this tender age more than anything elseItrsquos
true that television can bring us the knowledge from
across the world We can see different parts of the
world virtually sitting at the same place But we
should know how
we can use this
incredible inven-
tion of science in
the right and bene-
ficial way for us Now-a-days Smart TVs have be-
come even more popular We can even use internet on
those TVs Use Google to search for answers we donrsquot
know use YouTube to understand how things are
made or get our doubts cleared and much much more
To summarize it I would like to urge all my fellow
students to use this precious invention of science in a
way that will benefit you to gain constructive
knowledge and avoid destructive knowledge We
should know that television is not the world but only a
small component of this world Please know that there
are other things in life which we should enjoy too
along with giving utmost importance to our studies

The night before the final examination
-Marisha Nath VIII- C
The night before the final examination appears to all
examinees as the night before the Battle of Waterloo
might have appeared to Napoleon or the Duke of Wel-
lington Our system of education being what it is we
examinees are bound to be anxious about the nature of
the nature of the questions we will have to answer
next day Even an earnest student who has done all
that needs be done by way of nervousness uncertainty
and suspense on the night before the examination The
morning of the examination finds them prostate with
nervous disorder
But this is one side the picture There are students
who may be described as soldiers of fortune They are
daredevil youngsters who do not take their examina-
tions seriously But their lack of preparation is more
than made up for by the short cuts or bazar notes they
have provided themselves with Even on the night
before the examina-
tion they would be
going about their
daily rounds They
may be found in the parks cafes and restaurants talk-
ing about tips ndashtalking glibly and confidently about
what questions are sure to come The morning of the
examination finds them as cheerful as they were on
the night before
What is needed most is self-confidence and a cool
head True we do not remember all that we have read
when we go to the Examination Hall This does not
mean that we have forgotten them Many things re-
main in the sub ndashconscious region They jump into
consciousness when we face the questions and seri-
ously think of the answers Often such answers score
more marks than prepared ones
Elegance
-Prajna VIII-D
Elegant you be for the universe to learn your versatility
Brighter you shine the orb will know your sustenance
The stars moons and clouds let know your dignity
Apparently it seems your flawless abundance
The ideal triumph mustnrsquot be exaggerated
Till you salve someonersquos hurt
Elegant you be for the universe to learn your versatility
How can you be silent if you donrsquot know your efficiency
One of the values to become successful is simplicity
Through elegance letrsquos spread positivist

Chocoland - Talreja Aastha IV-J
Once I had been to the Chocolate Land
Chocolate all around to the reach of my hand
Toffees candies lollies and bars
In my mouth a crunchy munchy war
White dark nutty and sweet
Just like a dreamy treat
Colourful wrapper shiny and bright
Which one to choose which would be right
Houses made of chocolates and doors made of bars
And out stood there a chocolate car
Soon after it was 6 oclock
And could hear the doorrsquos knock
I woke up in a hurry
Just to realise that it was a dream

The ant and the elephant
- SOUMEN RAO IV-E
Once upon a time in a forest there lived an ant and an
elephant The elephant was the biggest among all the
elephants So he was very proud of himself and used
to criticize everyone and the ant which was the tiniest
among them was very happy and cheerful It used to
help everyone I its own way
All the animals in the forest used to complain about
the egoistic elephant So one day when the ant saw the
elephant walking towards it it immediately thought of
a plan As soon as the elephant came near the ant
said ldquoHello My friendrdquo but the elephant replied rude-
ly saying ldquoYou tiny
ant Get off my way
otherwise yoursquoll get
crushed to deathrdquo
Hearing this ant
challenged the elephant sayingrdquo My big friend I can
make you cryrdquo The ant quickly climbed onto the trunk
of the elephant and ran towards its earit went inside
the ear and started biting the elephants ear The ele-
phant tried to flap its ears but in vain After a few
minutes tears started rolling down its eyes It cried
ldquoPlease come out of my ear I canrsquot bear the painrdquo As
soon as the ant came out the elephant apologized for
its mistake and didnrsquot tease any animals from that day
Grandparents
-Aditya Patil VIII-E
The best place in vacation
A heaven like destination
Their love for us is endless
All their sacrifices are worthless
Great is their surrounding divinity
In front of our ordinary identity
To your grandparents never be rude
Because they are your
coolest dude
They yell at our parents
when we are shouted
With generosity and be-
nevolence they are bounded
Be sure to always meet your grandparents once in a
while and enhance yourself by their presence

Water Conservation
- Paarth Bhagat VII-J
Water is life If there was no water there would be no
life Hence water is the precious gift of God to mother
Earth We cannot imagine our lives without water
We human beings are made up of water it is the only
transportation medium that carries the food molecules
and oxygen to the cells of every body parts to help the
blood It signifies that water is the most essential in-
gredient to the functioning of life of every organism
So you see living this wonderful life is impossible
without water
Water is the force behind all the industry agriculture
manufacturing and trade and commerce All forms of
energy generation is done using water Be it hydroe-
lectrically projects or thermal power plant or nuclear
power plant water is
the key ingredient in
all of them There
would be no power
without water No
water no life
So it is our responsibility to conserve this life nectar
It is possible only through by changing our outlook
towards this wonderful natural resource We must en-
sure there is no pollution of water bodies by dumping
any waste such as sewage effluents and other toxic
substances We must also ensure there is no emission
of green-house gases into the atmosphere The people
and the government must ensure installation of efflu-
ents and smoke treatment plants at industrial garbage
and sewage units

The kind Fairies -Aditys Patil VIII-E
This story starts with two beautiful babies in a king-
dom called fairyland The babies were very pretty
Their names were Ovi and Riddhi They were growing
pretty well As they grew they became more and
more pretty Over and over they were also fairies and
within 5 years they became young girls Their mother
told them to go to school The girls askedwhere are
the schools There are no schools here Mother said
dont worry you will go to the planet Earth On the
planet Earth there is a very good school named New
Horizon Public School and the short form is nhps We
said ok On the first day of our school we were very
afraid but after a few days we
became more smart than the
others We were getting a lot of
prizes which we shared with
eveyone in the school This
made us and others happy One day We became the
princess of fairyland Our wings were like a rainbow
We were twins and had very long hairs Now I end
my story with a beautiful quote
ALWAYS HELP EACH OTHER LIKE THE
FARIES BECAUSE HELPING PEOPLE IS THE
PATH TO GOD
The Day Irsquoll Never Forget - Saranya Sarangi VII -
It was a day of love and affection
There was no visible sign of caution
But something unfortunate was going to happen
Nobody knew where and when
There was a blast at half past three
In a beauty land called Paradise On Earth
A complete silence and pity hadnrsquot the thee
Perished laid the martyrs
Whom our motherland gave birth
I still remember that scaring sight
The scattered limbs I couldnrsquot see
My heart got filled with grief and fright
No Indian could glee
Terribly writhing the soldiers were seen
Some families languished and some
were crying
So loyal to their country they had been
None of their families were mollifying
Whatever homage to our martyrs we pay
Tiny before their they lay
Salute to their tribute to motherland
To protect us they always walked hand in hand
Little Birdie - Marisha Nath VIII-C
I am a little birdie in the sky
With two wings to fly
I never disturb you
I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom
O human Then why do you steal my FREEDOM
Binding me alone in the cage makes me sad
Donrsquot you know caging a bird is bad
Looking at the sky
I wish I could fly
I never disturb you
I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom
O human Then why do you steal my
FREEDOM

Summers in India - Saranya Sarangi VIII
A hot season beginning from April till May is what we
call summer And thatrsquos the basic rule in India But
thatrsquos not something through which we can define
summers in our country India The sun shining high
above the head increasing the heat and this scorching
heat is something very unique about summers in India
Those ice-lolly stalls roaming down the streets tin-
kling their tiny bells is something special one will nev-
er find in any other country Many people love this
season
Especially the children as they get to eat ice-creams
Many people even donrsquot As they feel that this season
can only make a person dehydrated exhausted and irri-
tated Summer as we think as an unfruitful season is
contrast in reality Schools conduct summer camps
during vacation where stu-
dents can join different aca-
demic and co-curricular
courses to improve them-
selves Many children even spend time with their fami-
lies
Often families plan trips to different places as they get
a very long vacation during this season But now-a-
days due to increasing heat these pleasant summers
are becoming unbearable Every just sweat and sweat
We get a lethargic feeling not ready to do any work
Due to this heat we continually keep the ACs on which
consume a lot of electricity creating trouble for our
mother Earth and us Gradually that charm of the
unique kind of summers will be lost if precautions are
not taken We must really hope and work hard to bring
back our lovely lsquoSummers in Indiarsquo
Exams are good or bad
- Nupoor Teli VIIIndashI
In my humble opinionexams are apressure on the stu-
dents They are forced to study and score good
markswhich can lead to frustration An environmentof
competitivenessof standing first is created for which
students keep on studying day and night without any
recreation It is good to studybut not just for the sake
of gaining marks
Why do we study What is the main intention behind
education Seeking intersresting and fascinating
knowledge as well as facts about the world But now-a
-daysthe main reason for studying is gaining marks If
there are no marksno career andno success This is the
mindset of 70 people of the worldespecially parents
They pressurize their children so much that they get
depressed or sometimes attempt suicide as well
Every two months an exam is conducted Moreo-
verthere are projectssubject-enrichment activi-
tieschapter test sfter every topicnotebookfile submis
sion etcAnd as acherry on top
of the cakewe have the semes-
ter exams of eighty marks as
well What all will the students
do And even if any extra-
curricular activities are being learntthen more extra
studies Just studystudy and study
Why so much of tension on the children Under this
tension only they start cheating As time passes cheat-
ing becomes a habit of their life
I fell that exams should be conducted once a term in
order to evaluate whether the students are clear with
the concepts or notThey shouldnt be pressurized for
their marksbut should be made understand their mis-
takes Let them choose their own career options on
their own Help them knowwhat they like to study and
what they want to do in their life So dont pressurize
students for what they dont likeand encourage them in
what they do After allthey are only the Rising stars of
the country

Life is magical - Piyush Sahoo VII-H
A new day or a new night
Everything in life seems bright
A new morning or a new evening
Life is full of happening
A life is just like a kite
It may disappear in a sight
Life moves from baby to old
Make your life challenging and bold
Enjoy life the fullest
Never accept less than best
Unlikely life comes to an end
But remember never to bend
Happy sadness victory and loss
Accept it the way it comes
Life can be at times tragical
But make it the most beautiful
Life is magicalhellip
Life is so magicalhellip
Humility -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
Humility is having a heart to treat others with respect
and love Considering people worthy of your love
time and efforts regardless of who they are or what
they have done A person is truly humble when they
are willing to work hard for others expecting nothing
in return
Humility has the power to change a personrsquos perspec-
tive towards life It can make a difference in the way a
person is looked upon by others Doing an act of hum-
bleness can make a personrsquos day Humility is about
not having an ego or considering things below your
dignity or considering yourself greater than others
People often confuse humility with self-respect They
canrsquot make out the difference between being useful to
others and being used by others
It takes courage to be humble
because in the era in which we
live humility is looked upon as
weakness People assume yoursquore not strong enough to
stand up for yourself They think you surrender in-
stead of protesting They will despise and scorn you
but they donrsquot know that you take pleasure in what
you do because they havenrsquot experienced that kind of
joy
So if you do have humility donrsquot draw back from it
because of what others think Whatever you are doing
is for the good of others and you have no need to be
ashamed of that Humbleness will spread from person
to person Who knows maybe your one act of humili-
ty will spread on to help a person in need So be brave
be humble
Mom -Tanvi Sawant VII-C
Oh mom I came to this beautiful world just because
of youhellip
Mom what would I do without you
Oh mom there are thorns on the way

Oh mom I canrsquot say how much yoursquore to me

always be with mehellip
Oh mom this world is incomplete
without you
Just like the sky without itrsquos bright color bluehellip
Oh mom yoursquore the candle that showed the way in the
dark

And preventing my green dress
You can save water
you plant a tree
Make a better home for you on me
Recycle things donrsquot throw them awayhellip

OUR FUTURE EARTH - Hiya Purswani VIII-B
We all know the present condition of our environment
around us Inspite of advanced and modern technolo-
gy we humans are still not able to find a solution
Early humans neither they had much technology nor
they had enough intelligence but still in the early ages
the environment was clean making it the reason for
the increasing life span of humans Its a shocking
news to know that the amount of plastic bottles pro-
duced now may lead to increase in plastic pollution
and cause several death Its a great opportunity to be
as a human in this beautiful earth and so its our re-
sponsibility to make it clean In monsoon people cut
down trees to prevent accidents to occur but do we
plant trees in summer to prevent more global warm-
ing We can prevent bad things to happen but not can-
not take that much effort for good things to spread
Have you ever wondered while seeing a tap open how
many taps are left open at the same time in the whole
world It might sound unbelievable there can be a
World War III on water land and fresh air The way
we are thinking about the wastage of water may lead
us to a massive pain Itrsquos truly said by Warren Buffet
sometimes to buy things we need we have to sell
things we do not need This happens in the case of
lacking of intelligence We say every scholar is a true
genius but in my
opinion a person is
genius if he has the
ability to save and
change things in his
own way We all have the ability to save this earth
but our thoughts our ego and our greediness is stop-
ping us to think in a better way Everyone has a good
and a bad side in his life What matters is the part we
choose to act upon This is an excellent thought said
by Sirius Black in the movie Harry Potter Itrsquos time to
bring a change We always have time to do good
things all we need is hope Spreading awareness is the
best idea to bring a change If everyone stops thinking
about their economical needs and start contributing
towards the environment by planting more trees cer-
tainly there will be a beneficial change in this world
Neither do we think about the future nor care about
the present Why not be an optimist and think in a
positive way of life Our studies our needs our
knowledge will not help us in any way if we donʼt
change Its not that easy to plant a tree and care for it a
whole year if we only plant it with all our love nature
is certainly going to care for it Lastly I would like to
end with a quoterdquo Come forth in the light of things
nature will be your teacher
The Small Hours Pranjal Anil Chavan V-C
No more my little song Come back
And now of nights I lay my head on down
to watch the black
And wait the unfailing gray
Oh Sad are winter nights and slow
And sad is a song thatrsquos dumb
And sad it is to lie I know
Another dawn will come

Floods and Destruction
- Nirvi Soni IV-H
India faces occurrence of floods each year in some
parts of Assam during the rainy season Water of river
Brahmaputra rises and enters into many villages
causing great destruction Floods are unavoidable but
we need to take precautions in the following ways by
reducing mining activities building dams growing
more trees etc During floods the weather becomes
wet and gloomy Trees and plants get uprooted This
way floods cause great de-
struction to both life and
property It also becomes dif-
ficult to travel from place to
place Many people are left
homeless The rain water should be harvested and
stored in large storage tanks The harvested rainwater
can be used for washing clothes and cleaning By us-
ing rain water in our daily life we can preserve water
resources
Good Morning Everyone -Vyomi ThakkarVI - H
Come with me wersquoll have some fun
Wersquoll go on a walk
Donrsquot worry will have a great talk
Roaming around the ground
With beautiful birdrsquos sound
We donrsquot know if anything will be found
Wersquoll surely find the crown
Up on the chilled mountain
We saw a beautiful fountain
Surrounded by a beautiful castle
Decorated with the colourful tassel
Just be quiet and keen
Soon you will be the queen
Think before you speak
-Shravya Atreya IX-D
Think before you speak
There are hearts you must please
Think before you speak
You canrsquot undo the harm done after you squeak
Think before you speak
You might have done greater harm than you might
think
Think before you speak
There are still places left for you
to seek
Think before you speak
There is a long way to go before
you sleep
Think before you speak
There are hearts you must
please
Sunrise -Anuradha Singh VII-H
Over the glimmering purple sea
Under the golden sun rise

A sparrow sways upon a tree
staring at his own in the
enamelled sea
Everything is fine
With fading stars and rising light

GLOBAL WARMING - Adhyant Singh VII-F
Global warming refers to the steady rise in the Earthrsquos mean temperature The effect of global
warming had come into sight when polar ice caps started melting this phenomena is called ICE ndash
ALBEDO the ice caps melt faster due to the rise in the temperature This sudden rise in the temperature near
the poles began in 1999 The polar ice caps in Antarctica melt at the rate of 400000000000 tons per year ac-
cording to some scientists it would approximately take 5000 years to melt the total ice on earth In 2013 Inter-
governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) stated that the main cause of Global warming is human inter-
vention like emission of Green house gases like Carbon-Di-Oxide nitrous oxide and methane
These gases trap the heat which is reflected by the Earthrsquos surface thus increasing the temperature and also
destroying the ozone layer which prevents the ultraviolet rays of the sun from reaching the earthrsquos surface Al-
so burning fossil fuel contributes to the problem Effects of global warming have also led to the increase in the
sea level and extreme weather like heat waves and change in the regional pattern of precipitation and the ex-
pansion of desserts A concentrated and focused effort by the entire humanity can curb down the impact of
Global warming and also prevent it Planting more trees to control the amount of carbon-di-oxide eliminating
the use of chlorofluorocarbon or (CFCrsquoS) are a few steps All the countries have signed up with the United Na-
tions Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to prevent the doomsday of Earth So to prevent
earthrsquos doomsday we all must work together
Itrsquos not too late there is still timehellipBefore the earth ends and we whinehellipSo keep on marching and planting
greens To end Global Warming and Make our planet greenhellip
What will happen without Instagram

I was hearing it from everyone
I asked who was the inventor
Nobody knew the answer to my question
Mobiles Mobiles Mobiles

I asked who was the inventor
Again nobody was aware
I wondered why was it like so
Why is it they donrsquot know
There was one time we were
engrossed in books
Now we care more about our looks
Instagram wonrsquot give you a job
You will have to study and top
Your fellow followers wonrsquot help either
If you donrsquot have a job no one will bother

The Night - Matangi Rajesh VII-D
Its the night
The moon is white
When we switch off the light
What a beautiful sight
After this comes the sun bright
There is no more artificial light
This is the time to start your diet
To go for a run wearing tights
Then comes the evening when
you have snacks light
And fly a big colorful kite
or include your sibling in a pillow fight
Again comes the night
A moon which is white
We switch off the light
A beautiful sight

planet making India a part of a select club of 6 that have dared to undertake the over 680 million kilometer
journey The Indian Space Research Organization ISRO is the Space Agency of Government of India head-
quartered in the city of Bengaluru Its vision is to ldquoharness space technology ldquofor na-
tional development while pursuing space science research and planter exploration
Some achievements of ISRO in 2017
Launching 104 satellites with one rocket
South Asia Satellite (GSAT- 9) launch
Launch of ISROrsquos Fat Boyrsquo
31 satellites in a single flight
Sending another communication satellite in the space
In 2009 Indians maiden mission to the moon Chandrayaan- 1 brought back the first clinching evidence of the
presence of water on the arched lunar surface In more down to the Earth missions Indian satellites are also
helping locate underground water aquifers for some of the poorest and marginal people of India In a way
Indiarsquos space technology is helping everyone

Hyperloop -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
Human inventions have baffled the world They are
innumerable ranging from revolutionizing
smartphones to not-so-breathtaking ice cream cones
but they play a role in our life just the same The
things which are commonplace to us now were unbe-
knownst to people once upon a time For the people of
the 19th century the car was a thing of the future until
in 1885 Karl Benz ran his first car on the road Then
for centuries people took the prospect of of flying like
the birds as only a wild possibility which was made
possible in 1903 when the Wright Brothers flew the
first plane
What is the thing of the future for us Well we are the
future modifying and bettering the things that have
been made and crating stuff that we didnt even dare
to imagine about The Hyperloop fulfills both aspects
of the definition a very advanced model of our faith-
ful train and yet a brand new idea to scale greater
heights The Hyperloop is an ideal mode of efficient
transport Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane
with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing
speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt have to
ace the two types of friction that every other vehicle
has to face Air resistance and ground friction The
pods of the Hyperloop are propelled through a depres-
surized tub Since it is almost vacuum very little air
resistance can be offered inside the tube Due to this
the energy required to travel is also very less The Hy-
perloops unique technology uses magnetic levitation
to guide and lift the pods of the rail Since the pod is
not in contact with the ground there is no friction act-
ing on itThe first Hyperloop ndash virgin Hyperloop one
is set to run with passengers as early as 2021 and is
created by SpaceX and Tesla
The mastermind behind the Hyperloop is Elon Musk
who first published a 58 page white-paper on the web-
site of his company-Space X It was available to all
and was titled Hyperloop alpha The Hyperloop may
be the pioneer of a whole new era of transportation
traveling a distance which would otherwise take 12
hours in just I hour it has crossed all known bounda-
ries and created higher limits for us to reach and reach
we must for when time is money and money is time
an option that saves both needs to be used
Exams are good or bad -Nupoor Teli VIII
In my humble opinion exams are pressure on the stu-
dents They are forced to study and score good marks
which can lead to frustration An environment of com-
petitiveness of standing first is created for which stu-
dents keep on studying day and night without any rec-
reation It is good to study but not just for the sake of
gaining marks
Why do we study What is the main intention behind
education Seeking interesting and fascinating
knowledge as well as facts about the world But now-a
-days the main reason for studying is gaining marks
If there are no marks no career and no success This
is the mindset of 70 people of the world especially
parents They pressurize their children so much that
they get depressed or sometimes attempt suicide as
wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-
ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities
chapter test after every topic notebookfile submis-
sion etc And as cherry on top of the cake we have the
semester exams of eighty marks as well What all will
the students do And even if any extra-curricular ac-
tivities are being learnt then more extra studies Just
study study and study
Why so much of tension on the children Under this
tension only they start cheating As time passes cheat-
ing becomes a habit of their lifeI fell that exams
should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate
whether the students are clear with the concepts or
not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but
should be made understand their mistakes Let them
choose their own career options on their own Help
them know what they like to study and what they want
to do in their life So dont pressurize students for
what they dont like and encourage them in what they
do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the
country

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B
Life is all about interactions You meet people and
you interact You observe them consciously or sub-
consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us
more than we even realise Some people leave a last-
ing impression on us and entirely change the course of
life for better or for worse Some people influence us
help us go further and make all the difference
I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-
tial people They have taken care of me ever since I
came into this world They are the ones who wish the
best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-
cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel
no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-
come a part of my personality They are the ones who
helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me
to be better
When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are
the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-
takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique
learning experience It has made me realise how eve-
rything they do has a reason They are the ones who
have taught me the importance of the little things in
life They are the ones who have helped me recognize
and follow my passion The very thought of them not
being a part of my life is scary to the least as without
them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am
today and whatever I have achieved is all because of
them and I am very grateful of that
Eyesight
-Aditi Shenoy VIII-F
The tired little girl went to bed
Recollecting the days bygone
Seeing them in her dreams
As the day she was born
Trying to see the world
With her little eyes
But the sun with his brightness
Wouldnt let her catch the sights
The girl still eager
And curious to see the world around her
Again opened her eyes
But her vision was blurred
Still she did not lose hope
Which flowed through her blood
Encouraging and pushing her
To see the world further
Her heart beating fast
Her enthusiasm increasing
She slowly tried to see
With her eyes continuously blinking
Starting to lose hope
She was ready to give up
But curiosity got the upper hand
And pushed her forward
With her hope again rising
and strength in her eyesight
She is finally seeing the world
With wide open eyes

Conquering the space
-Marisha Nath VIII-C
ldquoThere is no failure in Science it is only continual
effort to conquer the unknown On the way even if we
face failure it rather adds more value to our effort for
our next journey to know the unknownrdquo
Chandrayan-2 Indiarsquos Moon Mission The dream of
entire India to land on moon and become the 4th Na-
tion in the world to put its flag on the soil of moon
after USSR USA amp China
ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launched
Chandrayan-2 on 22nd July 2019 from Bengaluru
(Satish Dhawan Space Center) under the command of
ISRO chief K Shivan It consists of ORBITER
LANDER amp Lunar Rover PRAGYAN Like Chandra-
yan-1(22nd Oct2008) it was Indiarsquos indigenous moon
mission
It touched the Moon Surface on Saturday early morn-
ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-
ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-
ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of
moon it lost contact with the ground station Because
of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be
monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m
(approx) away from its assigned location near
SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still
orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange
signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it
The ORBITER which will remain active for another
12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-
owed portion of the moon for the first time in history
with the help of its high-resolution camera
The entire Nation irrespective of their field of
knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front
of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of
VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true
Indians who always dream progress and development
of their motherland But our heart never accepts this
as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement
for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-
pose of our mission
But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at
this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring
country quoting this as a big failure on part of India
blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos
money on this
Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will
be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to
this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other
nations on such missions
Further I should say that India is not new in the field
of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-
TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975
It was named after famous scientist of ancient India
ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested
for the first time the HELIOCENTRIC THEORY
(Sun at the center and all planets revolve around the
Sun) of the Solar System much earlier than ready for
New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 57
COPERNICUS as believed in the western world
Other countries might have moon on their flags but
we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is
great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are
whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-
rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is
only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the
unknown and its continual application for the benefit
of the mankind)rdquo
Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by
various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-
PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-
cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958
onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as
46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was
attempted out of which only 21 was successful
Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-
tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the
overall attempts conducted by other Nations
USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-
NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was
planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January
SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR
successfully on moon
NASA after many attempts was successful to send
first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th
July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk
on moon
Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-
clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-
SION MANGAL for our next moon mission

Man Woman and Equality Poorvi Sanu IX-G
Why are women considered inferior to men Why is
it so Even in the olden days gender inequality was
very common
Sati widows shravana shraddha managala gaur
akshaya tritiya child marriage karva chauthhellip
etcetera etcetera etceteraWhat do these words re-
mind you of Yep Thatrsquos right These are all systems
for women
These are sacrifices and systems that women perform
for their better halves So that their spouses have a
long and safe life But what do these spouses do in
return Discriminate these women Consider them
inferior I think that only about 15 of men give
equal opportunities and rights to women
This number is increasing no doubt but then this is a
slow processMen work approximately 6 ndash 8 hours a
day Women on the other hand work at least 16
hours a day Yet men get salary and women in some
cases donrsquot
To all the men and boys reading this I have a few
questions for youDo you have the guts to perform all
housework with 5 guests in the house Do you have
enough courage to change your sur-
name after marriage Do you have
the guts to leave your ancestral home
where you have lived for at least 23
years Are you ready to be dominated
by women More importantly are you ready to listen
to pungent words from your mother-in-law And of
course do you guys have courage to bear a child for 9
months and 9 days and give birth and nurture the ba-
by
Giving birth is simultaneous to fracturing 20 ndash 21
bones at once Did men know this And yet they con-
sider women weak They think that because wersquore
women we cannot thinkIf we cannot think who is
Marie Curie If we are weak who delivers kids
Women arenrsquot any different They are children of
gods They arenrsquot your personal secretaries they are
your partnersOnly a woman knows how much suffer-
ing women go through And yet women are discrimi-
nated daily
What women want is love and respect They work
hard for it they toil day and night and what they get
ishellipabsolutely nothing
Is this right
Submission to Peer Pressure -Akshat Mishra IX -G
ldquoHey Mohan When did you get this new iPhone-Xrdquo
we asked him in surprise as we knew the financial
condition of his family ldquoMy cousin gifted it to merdquo
quipped Mohan sheepishly All the boys resumed
playing but I knew there was something amissPeer
pressure is becoming increasingly inevitable amongst
teenagers One may argue that it is a part of human
nature It may be pivotal for a human being but its
darker side is certainly the more powerful one
People are easily succumbing to peer pressure without
realising its consequences Just to gain respect in
someonersquos eyes they are even ready to quarrel with
their parents and ward their attention from their nec-
essary activities A recent survey suggested that the
maximum people in a rave are a group of teenagers
The clutches of peer pressure are so strong that people
arenrsquot being able to listen even to their conscience
The youth mostly is just littering around the streets
smoking cigarettes boozing or becoming a victim to
social networks sites like Facebook or Instagram Hu-
man resource is the most valuable resource that we
have and the youth are supposed to replenish this re-
source not just to become egoists The are the future
of the planet but sadly they arenrsquot forging the path for
mankind that they are supposed to
Hopefully there is some resistance against this social
evil in modern days Such people have sworn to stay
adamant and not stray from the rightful path These
days of hope do believe in working for the greater
good and are spreading awareness and showing the
society that peer pressure is deleterious sort individual
growth and well being

ldquoFreedom of Press in Democracyrdquo
- Poorvi Sanu IX-G
A free press and a free judiciary are two very important
cornerstones of a democracy Especially in the modern
era of widely accessible news and innumerable infor-
mation at our fingertips freedom of press is highly valued
liberty that citizens should be aware of and know the rea-
son why it is given to us as Indians Freedom means those
people who state the liberty or right and privileged to
speak according to their will
Freedom is that opportunity which we should never avoid
and in all bad situations it gives us all right to handle the
problems in our own innovative and thoughtful way Press
and media are the vital way to express and speech some
views and opinions in a democratic country It is the me-
dium of expressing an opinion of the people It justifies
the individual right to speech and expression a coveted
right enshrined in the Indian constitution and the law of
other countries on the globe
The importance of freedom of press lies in the fact that
for most citizens the prospect of personal familiarity with
newsworthy events is unrealistic In seeking out news the
media therefore acts for the public in large it is the means
by which people receive free flow of information and ide-
as which is essential to intelligence self-governance that
is in turn democracy For a proper functioning of democ-
racy it is essential that
citizens are informed
about news from vari-
ous parts of the coun-
try and even abroad because only then can they form ra-
tional opinions A citizen surely cannot be expected per-
sonally to gather news to enable him or her to form such
opinions Hence the media plays an important role in a
democracy and serves as an agency of the people to gath-
er news for them
It is for this reason that freedom of press has been empha-
sised in all democratic countries while it was not permit-
ted in feudal or totalitarian regimes
In India the media have a great responsibility also to see
that the news they present is accurate and serve the inter-
est of the people If the media convey false news that may
harm the reputation of a person or a section of society it
may do a great damage since reputation is a valuable asset
for a person
Even if the media subsequently correct a statement the
damage done may be irreparable Hence the media should
take care to carefully investigate any news item before
carefully reporting it
I know of a case were the photograph of a High Court
judge who was known to be upright was shown on a TV
New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 22
channel along with that of a known criminal The alle-
gation against the judge was that he had acquired the
land not in any discretionary quota but in the open
market at the market priceAlso sometimes the media
present twisted or distorted news that may contain an
element of truth but also an element of untruth This
too should be avoided because a half-truth can be
more dangerous than a total lie The media should
avoid giving any slant to news and avoid sensational-
ism and yellow journalism Only then will they gain
the respect of the people and fulfil their true role in a
democracySome newspapers espouse the cause of
only one community
ldquoThey do not judge problems on their merits They
view problems from a communal angle Such newspa-
pers do disservice to the nation On the other hand
some responsible newspapers exercise great restraint
while reporting news about riots between two commu-
nities They never give the identity of the community
which started the riot If there are any casualties they
do not give a community-wise break up lest this
should trigger off a bigger riot
In India most of the newspapers are controlled by
business magnates Such newspapers therefore pro-
mote the interest of the capitalists by given tainted
news They pay no heed even to the genuine prob-
lems of the worker^ farmers artisans and other
weaker sections of the people
The press is the defender and the protector of the
rights and liberties of the people But it can per-
form this role only if it enjoys freedom in publish-
ing news views and reporting It can function ef-
fectively only in an open society where decisions are
made in a democratic manner The press should not be
scared of influential people The press should consider
it their duty to protect the right of the workers and oth-
er downtrodden sections of the people
While the press should enjoy freedom to perform its
role effectively it should not treat such freedom as a
licence to defame anybody It should not publish any
views or support any movement which violates our
Constitution or is against the territorial integrity and
unity of the country
To the conclusion As the worldrsquos largest democracy
India has a duty to ensure that the press has the duty to
disseminate information and express opinions without
excessive censorship Unfortunately in recent years
the right has been increasingly curbed This oppres-
sion of press is an alarming trend as it does not allow
for proper checks and balances on the government and
its activities The people of our country need to re-
member that in order to have a strong democracy they
need a strong and free press

Our Future Earth
- Hiya Purswani VIII B
We all know the present condition of our environment
around us Inspite of advanced and modern technolo-
gy we humans are still not able to find a solution
Early humans neither they had much technology nor
they had enough intelligence but still in the early ages
the environment was clean making it the reason for
the increasing life span of humans Its a shocking
news to know that the amount of plastic bottles pro-
duced now may lead to increase in plastic pollution
and cause several death
Its a great opportunity to be as a human in this beauti-
ful earth and so itrsquos our responsibility to make it
clean In monsoon people cut down trees to prevent
accidents to occur but do we plant trees in summer to
prevent more global warming We can prevent bad
things to happen but not cannot take that much efforts
for good things to spread Have you ever wondered
while seeing a tap open how many taps are left open
at the same time in the whole world It might sound
unbelievable there can be a World War III on water
land and fresh air The way we are thinking about the
wastage of water may lead us to a massive pain I trsquos
truly said by Warren Buffet sometimes to buy things
we need we have to sell things we do not need This
happens in the case of lacking of intelligence We say
every scholar is a true genius but in my opinion a per-
son is genius if he has the ability to save and change
things in his own way We all have the ability to save
this earth but our thoughts our ego and our greedi-
ness is stopping us to think in a better way rdquoEveryone
has a good and a bad side in his life What matters is
the part we choose to act upon rdquoThis is an excellent
thought said by Sirius Black in the movie Harry Pot-
ter Itrsquos time to bring a change
We always have time to do good things all we need is
hope Spreading awareness is the best idea to bring a
change If everyone stops thinking about their eco-
nomical needs and start contributing towards the envi-
ronment by planting more trees certainly there will be
a beneficial change in this world Neither do we think
about the future nor care about the present Why not
be an optimist and think in a positive way of life Our
studies our needs our knowledge will not help us in
any way if we donrsquot change Its not that easy to plant a
tree and care for it a whole year but if we only plant it
with all our love nature is certainly going to care for
it Lastly I would like to end with a quote Come
forth in the light of things nature will be your teach-
er
Endeavor
- Heet Shripal Kankariya VII-G
It is hard to recall the past
but good thoughts are forever
Remember the step you took
May it be stupid or clever
Though the time runs out
your hope should never
Dont lose ittry and endeavor
Do your best even if the conse-
quences make your work the worst
Try and try and make your work better
It is hard to recall the past
but good thoughts are forever
Remember the step you took maybe stupid or clever

The Aloof Humans - A curse to mother
earth - Vaijayanthimala Navneet VIII-J
With all the night strength and gust
Preserving nature is must
Mother Nature has been so lucrative
Letrsquos do something to save her
Something new and creativersquo
Let us get pollution under control
Before mother Earth weeps and implores
Let clean air sweep
Both high and deep
Let the tiny piece of land
Be clean tidy and neat
Let uncontaminated water be
So that everything doesnrsquot
end like the sea
Let the tree stand
lsquoCause it is more alluring than the seven colour band
Without being loquacious
Mother nature is indeed precious
The Little girl
- Bhumika Sharma VI-F
I found in a garage
Near the carriage
A tiny little baby girl
She had cute blue eyes
Which were very small in size
And had beautiful hair with a cute little curl
I wonder why she was there
And she came fromhellipwhere
I then asked a person passing on the road
If he knew the merciless who
kept her near the horses and
toads
The person replied ldquoWho cares
O Madamhellip
hellipFor a girl who is denied by her
dad and mum
I felt very sad and cried
But I saved her lest she died
Who will save many such girls
Imagine a world without these pearls
Treat them with respect and love
The Little Guest - Ashwathy Ganesh VI ndashD
It was rainy season
At home came a pigeon
It made its nest and was a pest
But there came another guest
Who shooed away the little pest
First there was nothing but a basket of twigs
And I watched it eating figs
When the thunder came with the rain
I got a bit scared
But it didnrsquot fly away
Because I took care
Soon there were three small
eggs
Which were taken care of by the guest
The bird is easy to guess
Because it doesnrsquot make a mess
With its red tail
It looked a bit frail
Between the plants green full full
Was the nest of the little Bulbul

The Art of Dharma as per Mahabharata
- Abhishek Singh [Teacher SrSecondary]
Dharma means the Duty or RighteousnessDharma is
subtle many times we are forced to take wrong
means for right means(and ends us like Arjuna in hell)
or reaches wrong ends following right means(like
Yudhishthira in exile)Its like the Ying and Yang
Duryodhanarsquos envy for the Pandvarsquos Indraprastha and
Yudhishthirarsquos greed or addiction to a game of dice
and win more territory was the main cause of war
The envy can result in healthy competitiveness raising
oneself up by making the envious work harder for
rivalrsquos possessions or eternal sickness to pull the rival
downThe envy and greed are both presents even in
the
modern day world the failure
of communism was caused by
envy among citizens while the
capitalist system is stranded by greed The aim of so-
ciety should not be to suppress these feelings among
its citizens but to channelize them productively Envy
is the vice of socialism Greed is the evil of capital-
ism
Dharma is not justice Its difference between Retribu-
tive Justice and forgiveness While a nation with
stronger legal laws can prefer justice over peace the
newly created or war-torn nations with weaker legal
laws should prefer to restore peace and harmony in
society rather than emphasizing justice
Beware You are in for a scare
- Ayush Lonakadi IX-C
I had returned home late but after reaching home I had
wished I had not reached home that day There was no
electricity which just made it creepier When I
reached my room my exhaustion made me forget that
I was famished I lay on the bed scrolling down pic-
tures I had recently clicked I relived happy moments
but someone out there wasnrsquot happy to see me happy
and I noticed a photograph in my phone which be-
mused me ndash not mentioning how frightened I had be-
come
The picture waswashow can I explain The back-
ground was of my house In the photoI was
sleeping Butbut how could that have been possi-
ble I lived alone there was no one to click my photo
while I was sleeping I was petrified with my eyes
wide open and my whole body was horror-struck
Then all the unwanted noises came into focus ndash the
noises from outside noises of something creaking and
the wind forcefully blowing through the thin slit of the
window eerily
I was panic-stricken I
quickly switched my
phone off and kept it on
the table beside and did
not bother about changing my clothes and covered my
face with a blanket and hugged it tightly I could not
even think of sleeping Every second the clock ticked
I hugged the blanket harder My face and chest were
drenched in sweat I felt some supernatural move-
ments around me something trying to reach out to
me
By then I was praying to God to take me away from
that place I was ready to die Then something hap-
pened and I became frantic from tip to toe lsquoIt is Tues-
day todayrsquo The virtual assistant of my phone said but
I clearly remembered that I had switched off my
phone Who asked the question It was this trauma
that I couldnrsquot bear and today I am here telling you
this story after turning into a roaming soul Look to
your right I am right beside you

Travelling Aaryan Aggarwal IX - B
Travelling is an experience It doesnrsquot matter where
you travel Every place is great in its own ways You
could go to a culturally rich yet underdeveloped place
or you could go to an advanced metropolitan place
You could travel slow paced or you could be adven-
turous and go off the beaten path You could go to the
beach you could go to a museum It wonrsquot matter as
wherever you go you will always get a new and
different experience The experiences will open your
mind to a whole new world and culture which will
change your understanding and preconceived notions
about that place You will also get an opportunity to
detoxify yourself from social media Thus I believe
that travelling is more than just a hobby and can
change your entire thought process and state of
mind
Wallflower
- Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
She lived under a rock
More by force than by will
She lived there so long
She had nothing to fight with
All these people pushing her down
Her feeble frame could fight no long
She vowed to never stop the struggle
Until she had on her temples the crown
Declaring to the world her change
after years bygone
From being the young shy girl they saw
But all this struggle slowly had her crumbling
As she withered her dreams fading
Cause promises are sometimes left undone
When fate decides to yield a gun
And the world never saw the light
Of a wallflower wishing to shine so bright
Being Myself -Nidhi Mishra VIII-G
I did never lie to myself
Never strived to be someone else
And so I never shy
To look myself straight in the eye
I did never hide myself
And lavish a priceless gift
Having lsquolifersquo as its spell
Being myself Irsquoll uplift
Life is too short
Donrsquot be someone else
A onetime offer we have got
Even more precious than a thousand jewels

Women Empowerment - Devangi Dongre VII-B
The abilities of women in making decisions educa-
tion and profession have been largely suppressed
since ages considering them inferior to men The sit-
uation is worst in underdeveloped and developing na-
tions where women in a family are not allowed to
take financial decisions or decide on matters regard-
ing their own educationWith such state of affairs it
would be a fallacy to dream about the goals of sus-
tainable development and gender equality There is an
instant need to take measures to lift the social
personal and professional
status of women bringing
them shoulder to shoulder
with men These particular
measures constitute a pro-
cess which is known as ldquoWomen Empowermentrdquo
Providing better education and employment opportu-
nities to women ensuring their better health provid-
ing justice and ensuring professional equivalence are
the few methods of women empowerment

- Aaryan Aggarwal IX-B
He looked from afar at his towering creation A re-
mote island in the Pacific Ocean seemed like a great
refuge after what had been happening on the Earth
He chose secrecy as his mission had raised many eye-
brows The plan was simple lsquoEscape and start overrsquo
Right now Moon seemed to be the most viable option
in terms of survival The research had been done
Moon was habitable So close to our abode our cos-
mic neighbor the Moon must exist for a reason It-
will not just be a secondary habitat but also be a step-
ping stone for further progress
His meticulously crafted plan was now just minutes
away from execution A team of four explorers would
first leave Earth and explore the Moon to test his hy-
pothesis Once a temporary col-
ony using genetically engi-
neered pods containing human
embryos is set up they would
further analyze the surroundings and find ways to
make it more habitable The lesser gravitational pull
which allowed for a comparatively lower escape ve-
locity made it easier to transport resources from the
Earth or the ISS Sure it would be difficult at first
Earth is unmatched but he knew it was for the greater
good of mankind It would mean more opportunities
and help us understand our place in this universe
Right now we have confined ourselves in a box and
this is the only way to leave it and unleash the won-
ders of the universe In front of his eyes it flew never
to come back

Make the Choice
-Nidhi Mishra VIII-G

Irsquom steady upon the decision
About which Irsquoll never disclaim
Accepting the outcome never blame
To impulse refer those achieves
Itrsquos your resolve donrsquot quit
There wasnrsquot any lose that grieves
There was just a lesson in it

In the decision of mine
I possess optimism in myself
And so I believe everything

To perceive ones way to success
A dose of victory isnrsquot enough

Television Pros and Cons
- Soumya Sheth
What do most of the people do these days to entertain
themselvesEveryone likes to switch ON their televi-
sion sets which is one of the exceptional inventions of
science When our Dads come home tired after office
the first thing they would like to do is switch On the
TV and relax while watching it from his sofa seat
This is because while watching different things that
are broadcasted on TV we forget our worries and re-
grets of the day
However like every good and popular inventions tel-
evision also has its set of some worrying habits that
people get hitched to For example sometimes kids
watch it for extensive time thereby affecting their
studies This is one of the most worrying habit for par-
ents and we should know that ignoring studies is not
good for our future and studying is as much important
for us at this tender age more than anything elseItrsquos
true that television can bring us the knowledge from
across the world We can see different parts of the
world virtually sitting at the same place But we
should know how
we can use this
incredible inven-
tion of science in
the right and bene-
ficial way for us Now-a-days Smart TVs have be-
come even more popular We can even use internet on
those TVs Use Google to search for answers we donrsquot
know use YouTube to understand how things are
made or get our doubts cleared and much much more
To summarize it I would like to urge all my fellow
students to use this precious invention of science in a
way that will benefit you to gain constructive
knowledge and avoid destructive knowledge We
should know that television is not the world but only a
small component of this world Please know that there
are other things in life which we should enjoy too
along with giving utmost importance to our studies

The night before the final examination
-Marisha Nath VIII- C
The night before the final examination appears to all
examinees as the night before the Battle of Waterloo
might have appeared to Napoleon or the Duke of Wel-
lington Our system of education being what it is we
examinees are bound to be anxious about the nature of
the nature of the questions we will have to answer
next day Even an earnest student who has done all
that needs be done by way of nervousness uncertainty
and suspense on the night before the examination The
morning of the examination finds them prostate with
nervous disorder
But this is one side the picture There are students
who may be described as soldiers of fortune They are
daredevil youngsters who do not take their examina-
tions seriously But their lack of preparation is more
than made up for by the short cuts or bazar notes they
have provided themselves with Even on the night
before the examina-
tion they would be
going about their
daily rounds They
may be found in the parks cafes and restaurants talk-
ing about tips ndashtalking glibly and confidently about
what questions are sure to come The morning of the
examination finds them as cheerful as they were on
the night before
What is needed most is self-confidence and a cool
head True we do not remember all that we have read
when we go to the Examination Hall This does not
mean that we have forgotten them Many things re-
main in the sub ndashconscious region They jump into
consciousness when we face the questions and seri-
ously think of the answers Often such answers score
more marks than prepared ones
Elegance
-Prajna VIII-D
Elegant you be for the universe to learn your versatility
Brighter you shine the orb will know your sustenance
The stars moons and clouds let know your dignity
Apparently it seems your flawless abundance
The ideal triumph mustnrsquot be exaggerated

Elegant you be for the universe to learn your versatility
How can you be silent if you donrsquot know your efficiency
One of the values to become successful is simplicity
Through elegance letrsquos spread positivist

Once I had been to the Chocolate Land
Chocolate all around to the reach of my hand
Toffees candies lollies and bars
In my mouth a crunchy munchy war
White dark nutty and sweet
Just like a dreamy treat
Colourful wrapper shiny and bright
Which one to choose which would be right
Houses made of chocolates and doors made of bars
And out stood there a chocolate car
Soon after it was 6 oclock
And could hear the doorrsquos knock
I woke up in a hurry
Just to realise that it was a dream

The ant and the elephant
- SOUMEN RAO IV-E
Once upon a time in a forest there lived an ant and an
elephant The elephant was the biggest among all the
elephants So he was very proud of himself and used
to criticize everyone and the ant which was the tiniest
among them was very happy and cheerful It used to
help everyone I its own way
All the animals in the forest used to complain about
the egoistic elephant So one day when the ant saw the
elephant walking towards it it immediately thought of
a plan As soon as the elephant came near the ant
said ldquoHello My friendrdquo but the elephant replied rude-
ly saying ldquoYou tiny
ant Get off my way
otherwise yoursquoll get
crushed to deathrdquo
Hearing this ant
challenged the elephant sayingrdquo My big friend I can
make you cryrdquo The ant quickly climbed onto the trunk
of the elephant and ran towards its earit went inside
the ear and started biting the elephants ear The ele-
phant tried to flap its ears but in vain After a few
minutes tears started rolling down its eyes It cried
ldquoPlease come out of my ear I canrsquot bear the painrdquo As
soon as the ant came out the elephant apologized for
its mistake and didnrsquot tease any animals from that day
Grandparents
-Aditya Patil VIII-E
The best place in vacation
A heaven like destination
Their love for us is endless
All their sacrifices are worthless
Great is their surrounding divinity
In front of our ordinary identity
To your grandparents never be rude
Because they are your
coolest dude
They yell at our parents
when we are shouted
With generosity and be-
nevolence they are bounded
Be sure to always meet your grandparents once in a
while and enhance yourself by their presence

Water Conservation
- Paarth Bhagat VII-J
Water is life If there was no water there would be no
life Hence water is the precious gift of God to mother
Earth We cannot imagine our lives without water
We human beings are made up of water it is the only
transportation medium that carries the food molecules
and oxygen to the cells of every body parts to help the
blood It signifies that water is the most essential in-
gredient to the functioning of life of every organism
So you see living this wonderful life is impossible
without water
Water is the force behind all the industry agriculture
manufacturing and trade and commerce All forms of
energy generation is done using water Be it hydroe-
lectrically projects or thermal power plant or nuclear
power plant water is
the key ingredient in
all of them There
would be no power
without water No
water no life
So it is our responsibility to conserve this life nectar
It is possible only through by changing our outlook
towards this wonderful natural resource We must en-
sure there is no pollution of water bodies by dumping
any waste such as sewage effluents and other toxic
substances We must also ensure there is no emission
of green-house gases into the atmosphere The people
and the government must ensure installation of efflu-
ents and smoke treatment plants at industrial garbage
and sewage units

The kind Fairies -Aditys Patil VIII-E
This story starts with two beautiful babies in a king-
dom called fairyland The babies were very pretty
Their names were Ovi and Riddhi They were growing
pretty well As they grew they became more and
more pretty Over and over they were also fairies and
within 5 years they became young girls Their mother
told them to go to school The girls askedwhere are
the schools There are no schools here Mother said
dont worry you will go to the planet Earth On the
planet Earth there is a very good school named New
Horizon Public School and the short form is nhps We
said ok On the first day of our school we were very
afraid but after a few days we
became more smart than the
others We were getting a lot of
prizes which we shared with
eveyone in the school This
made us and others happy One day We became the
princess of fairyland Our wings were like a rainbow
We were twins and had very long hairs Now I end
my story with a beautiful quote
ALWAYS HELP EACH OTHER LIKE THE
FARIES BECAUSE HELPING PEOPLE IS THE
PATH TO GOD
The Day Irsquoll Never Forget - Saranya Sarangi VII -
It was a day of love and affection
There was no visible sign of caution
But something unfortunate was going to happen
Nobody knew where and when
There was a blast at half past three
In a beauty land called Paradise On Earth
A complete silence and pity hadnrsquot the thee
Perished laid the martyrs
Whom our motherland gave birth
I still remember that scaring sight
The scattered limbs I couldnrsquot see
My heart got filled with grief and fright
No Indian could glee
Terribly writhing the soldiers were seen
Some families languished and some
were crying
So loyal to their country they had been
None of their families were mollifying
Whatever homage to our martyrs we pay
Tiny before their they lay
Salute to their tribute to motherland
To protect us they always walked hand in hand
Little Birdie - Marisha Nath VIII-C
I am a little birdie in the sky
With two wings to fly
I never disturb you
I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom
O human Then why do you steal my FREEDOM
Binding me alone in the cage makes me sad
Donrsquot you know caging a bird is bad
Looking at the sky
I wish I could fly
I never disturb you
I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom
O human Then why do you steal my
FREEDOM

Summers in India - Saranya Sarangi VIII
A hot season beginning from April till May is what we
call summer And thatrsquos the basic rule in India But
thatrsquos not something through which we can define
summers in our country India The sun shining high
above the head increasing the heat and this scorching
heat is something very unique about summers in India
Those ice-lolly stalls roaming down the streets tin-
kling their tiny bells is something special one will nev-
er find in any other country Many people love this
season
Especially the children as they get to eat ice-creams
Many people even donrsquot As they feel that this season
can only make a person dehydrated exhausted and irri-
tated Summer as we think as an unfruitful season is
contrast in reality Schools conduct summer camps
during vacation where stu-
dents can join different aca-
demic and co-curricular
courses to improve them-
selves Many children even spend time with their fami-
lies
Often families plan trips to different places as they get
a very long vacation during this season But now-a-
days due to increasing heat these pleasant summers
are becoming unbearable Every just sweat and sweat
We get a lethargic feeling not ready to do any work
Due to this heat we continually keep the ACs on which
consume a lot of electricity creating trouble for our
mother Earth and us Gradually that charm of the
unique kind of summers will be lost if precautions are
not taken We must really hope and work hard to bring
back our lovely lsquoSummers in Indiarsquo
Exams are good or bad
- Nupoor Teli VIIIndashI
In my humble opinionexams are apressure on the stu-
dents They are forced to study and score good
markswhich can lead to frustration An environmentof
competitivenessof standing first is created for which
students keep on studying day and night without any
recreation It is good to studybut not just for the sake
of gaining marks
Why do we study What is the main intention behind
education Seeking intersresting and fascinating
knowledge as well as facts about the world But now-a
-daysthe main reason for studying is gaining marks If
there are no marksno career andno success This is the
mindset of 70 people of the worldespecially parents
They pressurize their children so much that they get
depressed or sometimes attempt suicide as well
Every two months an exam is conducted Moreo-
verthere are projectssubject-enrichment activi-
tieschapter test sfter every topicnotebookfile submis
sion etcAnd as acherry on top
of the cakewe have the semes-
ter exams of eighty marks as
well What all will the students
do And even if any extra-
curricular activities are being learntthen more extra
studies Just studystudy and study
Why so much of tension on the children Under this
tension only they start cheating As time passes cheat-
ing becomes a habit of their life
I fell that exams should be conducted once a term in
order to evaluate whether the students are clear with
the concepts or notThey shouldnt be pressurized for
their marksbut should be made understand their mis-
takes Let them choose their own career options on
their own Help them knowwhat they like to study and
what they want to do in their life So dont pressurize
students for what they dont likeand encourage them in
what they do After allthey are only the Rising stars of
the country

Life is magical - Piyush Sahoo VII-H
A new day or a new night
Everything in life seems bright
A new morning or a new evening
Life is full of happening
A life is just like a kite
It may disappear in a sight
Life moves from baby to old
Make your life challenging and bold
Enjoy life the fullest
Never accept less than best
Unlikely life comes to an end
But remember never to bend
Happy sadness victory and loss
Accept it the way it comes
Life can be at times tragical
But make it the most beautiful
Life is magicalhellip

Humility -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
Humility is having a heart to treat others with respect
and love Considering people worthy of your love
time and efforts regardless of who they are or what
they have done A person is truly humble when they
are willing to work hard for others expecting nothing
in return
Humility has the power to change a personrsquos perspec-
tive towards life It can make a difference in the way a
person is looked upon by others Doing an act of hum-
bleness can make a personrsquos day Humility is about
not having an ego or considering things below your
dignity or considering yourself greater than others
People often confuse humility with self-respect They
canrsquot make out the difference between being useful to
others and being used by others
It takes courage to be humble
because in the era in which we
live humility is looked upon as
weakness People assume yoursquore not strong enough to
stand up for yourself They think you surrender in-
stead of protesting They will despise and scorn you
but they donrsquot know that you take pleasure in what
you do because they havenrsquot experienced that kind of
joy
So if you do have humility donrsquot draw back from it
because of what others think Whatever you are doing
is for the good of others and you have no need to be
ashamed of that Humbleness will spread from person
to person Who knows maybe your one act of humili-
ty will spread on to help a person in need So be brave
be humble

I am the EARTH - Deepashikha P VII F
Hello I am the Earth
For me I am the sweetest heart
I provide you with lots of stuff
With food and the mangoes that you love
I give you water soil and Sun
I am special as I am just one
But the humans living on me
Are making me dirty
They are cutting all the trees
And killing all the species helliphellip
They filling me with smoke and death
They are killing themselves
with lack of breath
I am the Earth
I am your mother
Make me the best by pol-
luting me less and less
And preventing my green dress
You can save water
you plant a tree
Make a better home for you on me
Recycle things donrsquot throw them awayhellip
MAKE EVERY DAY AN EARTH

OUR FUTURE EARTH - Hiya Purswani VIII-B
We all know the present condition of our environment
around us Inspite of advanced and modern technolo-
gy we humans are still not able to find a solution
Early humans neither they had much technology nor
they had enough intelligence but still in the early ages
the environment was clean making it the reason for
the increasing life span of humans Its a shocking
news to know that the amount of plastic bottles pro-
duced now may lead to increase in plastic pollution
and cause several death Its a great opportunity to be
as a human in this beautiful earth and so its our re-
sponsibility to make it clean In monsoon people cut
down trees to prevent accidents to occur but do we
plant trees in summer to prevent more global warm-
ing We can prevent bad things to happen but not can-
not take that much effort for good things to spread
Have you ever wondered while seeing a tap open how
many taps are left open at the same time in the whole
world It might sound unbelievable there can be a
World War III on water land and fresh air The way
we are thinking about the wastage of water may lead
us to a massive pain Itrsquos truly said by Warren Buffet
sometimes to buy things we need we have to sell
things we do not need This happens in the case of
lacking of intelligence We say every scholar is a true
genius but in my
opinion a person is
genius if he has the
ability to save and
change things in his
own way We all have the ability to save this earth
but our thoughts our ego and our greediness is stop-
ping us to think in a better way Everyone has a good
and a bad side in his life What matters is the part we
choose to act upon This is an excellent thought said
by Sirius Black in the movie Harry Potter Itrsquos time to
bring a change We always have time to do good
things all we need is hope Spreading awareness is the
best idea to bring a change If everyone stops thinking
about their economical needs and start contributing
towards the environment by planting more trees cer-
tainly there will be a beneficial change in this world
Neither do we think about the future nor care about
the present Why not be an optimist and think in a
positive way of life Our studies our needs our
knowledge will not help us in any way if we donʼt
change Its not that easy to plant a tree and care for it a
whole year if we only plant it with all our love nature
is certainly going to care for it Lastly I would like to
end with a quoterdquo Come forth in the light of things
nature will be your teacher
The Small Hours Pranjal Anil Chavan V-C
No more my little song Come back
And now of nights I lay my head on down
to watch the black
And wait the unfailing gray
Oh Sad are winter nights and slow
And sad is a song thatrsquos dumb
And sad it is to lie I know
Another dawn will come

Floods and Destruction
- Nirvi Soni IV-H
India faces occurrence of floods each year in some
parts of Assam during the rainy season Water of river
Brahmaputra rises and enters into many villages
causing great destruction Floods are unavoidable but
we need to take precautions in the following ways by
reducing mining activities building dams growing
more trees etc During floods the weather becomes
wet and gloomy Trees and plants get uprooted This
way floods cause great de-
struction to both life and
property It also becomes dif-
ficult to travel from place to
place Many people are left
homeless The rain water should be harvested and
stored in large storage tanks The harvested rainwater
can be used for washing clothes and cleaning By us-
ing rain water in our daily life we can preserve water
resources
Good Morning Everyone -Vyomi ThakkarVI - H
Come with me wersquoll have some fun
Wersquoll go on a walk
Donrsquot worry will have a great talk
Roaming around the ground
With beautiful birdrsquos sound
We donrsquot know if anything will be found
Wersquoll surely find the crown
Up on the chilled mountain
We saw a beautiful fountain
Surrounded by a beautiful castle
Decorated with the colourful tassel
Just be quiet and keen
Soon you will be the queen
Think before you speak
-Shravya Atreya IX-D
Think before you speak
There are hearts you must please
Think before you speak
You canrsquot undo the harm done after you squeak
Think before you speak
You might have done greater harm than you might
think
Think before you speak
There are still places left for you
to seek
Think before you speak
There is a long way to go before
you sleep
Think before you speak
There are hearts you must
please
Sunrise -Anuradha Singh VII-H

Everything is fine
With fading stars and rising light

GLOBAL WARMING - Adhyant Singh VII-F
Global warming refers to the steady rise in the Earthrsquos mean temperature The effect of global
warming had come into sight when polar ice caps started melting this phenomena is called ICE ndash
ALBEDO the ice caps melt faster due to the rise in the temperature This sudden rise in the temperature near
the poles began in 1999 The polar ice caps in Antarctica melt at the rate of 400000000000 tons per year ac-
cording to some scientists it would approximately take 5000 years to melt the total ice on earth In 2013 Inter-
governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) stated that the main cause of Global warming is human inter-
vention like emission of Green house gases like Carbon-Di-Oxide nitrous oxide and methane
These gases trap the heat which is reflected by the Earthrsquos surface thus increasing the temperature and also
destroying the ozone layer which prevents the ultraviolet rays of the sun from reaching the earthrsquos surface Al-
so burning fossil fuel contributes to the problem Effects of global warming have also led to the increase in the
sea level and extreme weather like heat waves and change in the regional pattern of precipitation and the ex-
pansion of desserts A concentrated and focused effort by the entire humanity can curb down the impact of
Global warming and also prevent it Planting more trees to control the amount of carbon-di-oxide eliminating
the use of chlorofluorocarbon or (CFCrsquoS) are a few steps All the countries have signed up with the United Na-
tions Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to prevent the doomsday of Earth So to prevent
earthrsquos doomsday we all must work together
Itrsquos not too late there is still timehellipBefore the earth ends and we whinehellipSo keep on marching and planting
greens To end Global Warming and Make our planet greenhellip

The Night - Matangi Rajesh VII-D
Its the night
The moon is white
When we switch off the light
What a beautiful sight
After this comes the sun bright
There is no more artificial light
This is the time to start your diet
To go for a run wearing tights
Then comes the evening when
you have snacks light
And fly a big colorful kite
or include your sibling in a pillow fight
Again comes the night
A moon which is white
We switch off the light
A beautiful sight

Hyperloop -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
Human inventions have baffled the world They are
innumerable ranging from revolutionizing
smartphones to not-so-breathtaking ice cream cones
but they play a role in our life just the same The
things which are commonplace to us now were unbe-
knownst to people once upon a time For the people of
the 19th century the car was a thing of the future until
in 1885 Karl Benz ran his first car on the road Then
for centuries people took the prospect of of flying like
the birds as only a wild possibility which was made
possible in 1903 when the Wright Brothers flew the
first plane
What is the thing of the future for us Well we are the
future modifying and bettering the things that have
been made and crating stuff that we didnt even dare
to imagine about The Hyperloop fulfills both aspects
of the definition a very advanced model of our faith-
ful train and yet a brand new idea to scale greater
heights The Hyperloop is an ideal mode of efficient
transport Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane
with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing
speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt have to
ace the two types of friction that every other vehicle
has to face Air resistance and ground friction The
pods of the Hyperloop are propelled through a depres-
surized tub Since it is almost vacuum very little air
resistance can be offered inside the tube Due to this
the energy required to travel is also very less The Hy-
perloops unique technology uses magnetic levitation
to guide and lift the pods of the rail Since the pod is
not in contact with the ground there is no friction act-
ing on itThe first Hyperloop ndash virgin Hyperloop one
is set to run with passengers as early as 2021 and is
created by SpaceX and Tesla
The mastermind behind the Hyperloop is Elon Musk
who first published a 58 page white-paper on the web-
site of his company-Space X It was available to all
and was titled Hyperloop alpha The Hyperloop may
be the pioneer of a whole new era of transportation
traveling a distance which would otherwise take 12
hours in just I hour it has crossed all known bounda-
ries and created higher limits for us to reach and reach
we must for when time is money and money is time
an option that saves both needs to be used
Exams are good or bad -Nupoor Teli VIII
In my humble opinion exams are pressure on the stu-
dents They are forced to study and score good marks
which can lead to frustration An environment of com-
petitiveness of standing first is created for which stu-
dents keep on studying day and night without any rec-
reation It is good to study but not just for the sake of
gaining marks
Why do we study What is the main intention behind
education Seeking interesting and fascinating
knowledge as well as facts about the world But now-a
-days the main reason for studying is gaining marks
If there are no marks no career and no success This
is the mindset of 70 people of the world especially
parents They pressurize their children so much that
they get depressed or sometimes attempt suicide as
wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-
ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities
chapter test after every topic notebookfile submis-
sion etc And as cherry on top of the cake we have the
semester exams of eighty marks as well What all will
the students do And even if any extra-curricular ac-
tivities are being learnt then more extra studies Just
study study and study
Why so much of tension on the children Under this
tension only they start cheating As time passes cheat-
ing becomes a habit of their lifeI fell that exams
should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate
whether the students are clear with the concepts or
not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but
should be made understand their mistakes Let them
choose their own career options on their own Help
them know what they like to study and what they want
to do in their life So dont pressurize students for
what they dont like and encourage them in what they
do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the
country

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B
Life is all about interactions You meet people and
you interact You observe them consciously or sub-
consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us
more than we even realise Some people leave a last-
ing impression on us and entirely change the course of
life for better or for worse Some people influence us
help us go further and make all the difference
I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-
tial people They have taken care of me ever since I
came into this world They are the ones who wish the
best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-
cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel
no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-
come a part of my personality They are the ones who
helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me
to be better
When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are
the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-
takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique
learning experience It has made me realise how eve-
rything they do has a reason They are the ones who
have taught me the importance of the little things in
life They are the ones who have helped me recognize
and follow my passion The very thought of them not
being a part of my life is scary to the least as without
them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am
today and whatever I have achieved is all because of
them and I am very grateful of that
Eyesight
-Aditi Shenoy VIII-F
The tired little girl went to bed
Recollecting the days bygone
Seeing them in her dreams
As the day she was born
Trying to see the world
With her little eyes
But the sun with his brightness
Wouldnt let her catch the sights
The girl still eager
And curious to see the world around her
Again opened her eyes
But her vision was blurred
Still she did not lose hope
Which flowed through her blood
Encouraging and pushing her
To see the world further
Her heart beating fast
Her enthusiasm increasing
She slowly tried to see
With her eyes continuously blinking
Starting to lose hope
She was ready to give up
But curiosity got the upper hand
And pushed her forward
With her hope again rising
and strength in her eyesight
She is finally seeing the world
With wide open eyes

Conquering the space

Chandrayan-2 Indiarsquos Moon Mission The dream of
entire India to land on moon and become the 4th Na-
tion in the world to put its flag on the soil of moon
after USSR USA amp China
ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launched
Chandrayan-2 on 22nd July 2019 from Bengaluru
(Satish Dhawan Space Center) under the command of
ISRO chief K Shivan It consists of ORBITER
LANDER amp Lunar Rover PRAGYAN Like Chandra-
yan-1(22nd Oct2008) it was Indiarsquos indigenous moon
mission
It touched the Moon Surface on Saturday early morn-
ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-
ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-
ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of
moon it lost contact with the ground station Because
of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be
monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m
(approx) away from its assigned location near
SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still
orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange
signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it
The ORBITER which will remain active for another
12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-
owed portion of the moon for the first time in history
with the help of its high-resolution camera
The entire Nation irrespective of their field of
knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front
of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of
VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true
Indians who always dream progress and development
of their motherland But our heart never accepts this
as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement
for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-
pose of our mission
But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at
this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring
country quoting this as a big failure on part of India
blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos
money on this
Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will
be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to
this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other
nations on such missions
Further I should say that India is not new in the field
of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-
TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975
It was named after famous scientist of ancient India
ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested
for the first time the HELIOCENTRIC THEORY
(Sun at the center and all planets revolve around the
Sun) of the Solar System much earlier than ready for
New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 57
COPERNICUS as believed in the western world
Other countries might have moon on their flags but
we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is
great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are
whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-
rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is
only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the
unknown and its continual application for the benefit
of the mankind)rdquo
Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by
various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-
PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-
cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958
onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as
46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was
attempted out of which only 21 was successful
Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-
tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the
overall attempts conducted by other Nations
USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-
NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was
planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January
SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR
successfully on moon
NASA after many attempts was successful to send
first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th
July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk
on moon
Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-
clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-
SION MANGAL for our next moon mission

ldquoFreedom of Press in Democracyrdquo
- Poorvi Sanu IX-G
A free press and a free judiciary are two very important
cornerstones of a democracy Especially in the modern
era of widely accessible news and innumerable infor-
mation at our fingertips freedom of press is highly valued
liberty that citizens should be aware of and know the rea-
son why it is given to us as Indians Freedom means those
people who state the liberty or right and privileged to
speak according to their will
Freedom is that opportunity which we should never avoid
and in all bad situations it gives us all right to handle the
problems in our own innovative and thoughtful way Press
and media are the vital way to express and speech some
views and opinions in a democratic country It is the me-
dium of expressing an opinion of the people It justifies
the individual right to speech and expression a coveted
right enshrined in the Indian constitution and the law of
other countries on the globe
The importance of freedom of press lies in the fact that
for most citizens the prospect of personal familiarity with
newsworthy events is unrealistic In seeking out news the
media therefore acts for the public in large it is the means
by which people receive free flow of information and ide-
as which is essential to intelligence self-governance that
is in turn democracy For a proper functioning of democ-
racy it is essential that
citizens are informed
about news from vari-
ous parts of the coun-
try and even abroad because only then can they form ra-
tional opinions A citizen surely cannot be expected per-
sonally to gather news to enable him or her to form such
opinions Hence the media plays an important role in a
democracy and serves as an agency of the people to gath-
er news for them
It is for this reason that freedom of press has been empha-
sised in all democratic countries while it was not permit-
ted in feudal or totalitarian regimes
In India the media have a great responsibility also to see
that the news they present is accurate and serve the inter-
est of the people If the media convey false news that may
harm the reputation of a person or a section of society it
may do a great damage since reputation is a valuable asset
for a person
Even if the media subsequently correct a statement the
damage done may be irreparable Hence the media should
take care to carefully investigate any news item before
carefully reporting it
I know of a case were the photograph of a High Court
judge who was known to be upright was shown on a TV
New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 22
channel along with that of a known criminal The alle-
gation against the judge was that he had acquired the
land not in any discretionary quota but in the open
market at the market priceAlso sometimes the media
present twisted or distorted news that may contain an
element of truth but also an element of untruth This
too should be avoided because a half-truth can be
more dangerous than a total lie The media should
avoid giving any slant to news and avoid sensational-
ism and yellow journalism Only then will they gain
the respect of the people and fulfil their true role in a
democracySome newspapers espouse the cause of
only one community
ldquoThey do not judge problems on their merits They
view problems from a communal angle Such newspa-
pers do disservice to the nation On the other hand
some responsible newspapers exercise great restraint
while reporting news about riots between two commu-
nities They never give the identity of the community
which started the riot If there are any casualties they
do not give a community-wise break up lest this
should trigger off a bigger riot
In India most of the newspapers are controlled by
business magnates Such newspapers therefore pro-
mote the interest of the capitalists by given tainted
news They pay no heed even to the genuine prob-
lems of the worker^ farmers artisans and other
weaker sections of the people
The press is the defender and the protector of the
rights and liberties of the people But it can per-
form this role only if it enjoys freedom in publish-
ing news views and reporting It can function ef-
fectively only in an open society where decisions are
made in a democratic manner The press should not be
scared of influential people The press should consider
it their duty to protect the right of the workers and oth-
er downtrodden sections of the people
While the press should enjoy freedom to perform its
role effectively it should not treat such freedom as a
licence to defame anybody It should not publish any
views or support any movement which violates our
Constitution or is against the territorial integrity and
unity of the country
To the conclusion As the worldrsquos largest democracy
India has a duty to ensure that the press has the duty to
disseminate information and express opinions without
excessive censorship Unfortunately in recent years
the right has been increasingly curbed This oppres-
sion of press is an alarming trend as it does not allow
for proper checks and balances on the government and
its activities The people of our country need to re-
member that in order to have a strong democracy they
need a strong and free press

We all know the present condition of our environment
around us Inspite of advanced and modern technolo-
gy we humans are still not able to find a solution
Early humans neither they had much technology nor
they had enough intelligence but still in the early ages
the environment was clean making it the reason for
the increasing life span of humans Its a shocking
news to know that the amount of plastic bottles pro-
duced now may lead to increase in plastic pollution
and cause several death
Its a great opportunity to be as a human in this beauti-
ful earth and so itrsquos our responsibility to make it
clean In monsoon people cut down trees to prevent
accidents to occur but do we plant trees in summer to
prevent more global warming We can prevent bad
things to happen but not cannot take that much efforts
for good things to spread Have you ever wondered
while seeing a tap open how many taps are left open
at the same time in the whole world It might sound
unbelievable there can be a World War III on water
land and fresh air The way we are thinking about the
wastage of water may lead us to a massive pain I trsquos
truly said by Warren Buffet sometimes to buy things
we need we have to sell things we do not need This
happens in the case of lacking of intelligence We say
every scholar is a true genius but in my opinion a per-
son is genius if he has the ability to save and change
things in his own way We all have the ability to save
this earth but our thoughts our ego and our greedi-
ness is stopping us to think in a better way rdquoEveryone
has a good and a bad side in his life What matters is
the part we choose to act upon rdquoThis is an excellent
thought said by Sirius Black in the movie Harry Pot-
ter Itrsquos time to bring a change
We always have time to do good things all we need is
hope Spreading awareness is the best idea to bring a
change If everyone stops thinking about their eco-
nomical needs and start contributing towards the envi-
ronment by planting more trees certainly there will be
a beneficial change in this world Neither do we think
about the future nor care about the present Why not
be an optimist and think in a positive way of life Our
studies our needs our knowledge will not help us in
any way if we donrsquot change Its not that easy to plant a
tree and care for it a whole year but if we only plant it
with all our love nature is certainly going to care for
it Lastly I would like to end with a quote Come
forth in the light of things nature will be your teach-
er
Endeavor
- Heet Shripal Kankariya VII-G
It is hard to recall the past
but good thoughts are forever
Remember the step you took
May it be stupid or clever
Though the time runs out
your hope should never
Dont lose ittry and endeavor
Do your best even if the conse-
quences make your work the worst
Try and try and make your work better
It is hard to recall the past
but good thoughts are forever
Remember the step you took maybe stupid or clever

The Aloof Humans - A curse to mother
earth - Vaijayanthimala Navneet VIII-J
With all the night strength and gust
Preserving nature is must
Mother Nature has been so lucrative
Letrsquos do something to save her
Something new and creativersquo
Let us get pollution under control
Before mother Earth weeps and implores
Let clean air sweep
Both high and deep
Let the tiny piece of land
Be clean tidy and neat
Let uncontaminated water be
So that everything doesnrsquot
end like the sea
Let the tree stand
lsquoCause it is more alluring than the seven colour band
Without being loquacious
Mother nature is indeed precious
The Little girl
- Bhumika Sharma VI-F
I found in a garage
Near the carriage
A tiny little baby girl
She had cute blue eyes
Which were very small in size
And had beautiful hair with a cute little curl
I wonder why she was there
And she came fromhellipwhere
I then asked a person passing on the road
If he knew the merciless who
kept her near the horses and
toads
The person replied ldquoWho cares
O Madamhellip
hellipFor a girl who is denied by her
dad and mum
I felt very sad and cried
But I saved her lest she died
Who will save many such girls
Imagine a world without these pearls
Treat them with respect and love
The Little Guest - Ashwathy Ganesh VI ndashD
It was rainy season
At home came a pigeon
It made its nest and was a pest
But there came another guest
Who shooed away the little pest
First there was nothing but a basket of twigs
And I watched it eating figs
When the thunder came with the rain
I got a bit scared
But it didnrsquot fly away
Because I took care
Soon there were three small
eggs
Which were taken care of by the guest
The bird is easy to guess
Because it doesnrsquot make a mess
With its red tail
It looked a bit frail
Between the plants green full full
Was the nest of the little Bulbul

The Art of Dharma as per Mahabharata
- Abhishek Singh [Teacher SrSecondary]
Dharma means the Duty or RighteousnessDharma is
subtle many times we are forced to take wrong
means for right means(and ends us like Arjuna in hell)
or reaches wrong ends following right means(like
Yudhishthira in exile)Its like the Ying and Yang
Duryodhanarsquos envy for the Pandvarsquos Indraprastha and
Yudhishthirarsquos greed or addiction to a game of dice
and win more territory was the main cause of war
The envy can result in healthy competitiveness raising
oneself up by making the envious work harder for
rivalrsquos possessions or eternal sickness to pull the rival
downThe envy and greed are both presents even in
the
modern day world the failure
of communism was caused by
envy among citizens while the
capitalist system is stranded by greed The aim of so-
ciety should not be to suppress these feelings among
its citizens but to channelize them productively Envy
is the vice of socialism Greed is the evil of capital-
ism
Dharma is not justice Its difference between Retribu-
tive Justice and forgiveness While a nation with
stronger legal laws can prefer justice over peace the
newly created or war-torn nations with weaker legal
laws should prefer to restore peace and harmony in
society rather than emphasizing justice
Beware You are in for a scare
- Ayush Lonakadi IX-C
I had returned home late but after reaching home I had
wished I had not reached home that day There was no
electricity which just made it creepier When I
reached my room my exhaustion made me forget that
I was famished I lay on the bed scrolling down pic-
tures I had recently clicked I relived happy moments
but someone out there wasnrsquot happy to see me happy
and I noticed a photograph in my phone which be-
mused me ndash not mentioning how frightened I had be-
come
The picture waswashow can I explain The back-
ground was of my house In the photoI was
sleeping Butbut how could that have been possi-
ble I lived alone there was no one to click my photo
while I was sleeping I was petrified with my eyes
wide open and my whole body was horror-struck
Then all the unwanted noises came into focus ndash the
noises from outside noises of something creaking and
the wind forcefully blowing through the thin slit of the
window eerily
I was panic-stricken I
quickly switched my
phone off and kept it on
the table beside and did
not bother about changing my clothes and covered my
face with a blanket and hugged it tightly I could not
even think of sleeping Every second the clock ticked
I hugged the blanket harder My face and chest were
drenched in sweat I felt some supernatural move-
ments around me something trying to reach out to
me
By then I was praying to God to take me away from
that place I was ready to die Then something hap-
pened and I became frantic from tip to toe lsquoIt is Tues-
day todayrsquo The virtual assistant of my phone said but
I clearly remembered that I had switched off my
phone Who asked the question It was this trauma
that I couldnrsquot bear and today I am here telling you
this story after turning into a roaming soul Look to
your right I am right beside you

Travelling Aaryan Aggarwal IX - B
Travelling is an experience It doesnrsquot matter where
you travel Every place is great in its own ways You
could go to a culturally rich yet underdeveloped place
or you could go to an advanced metropolitan place
You could travel slow paced or you could be adven-
turous and go off the beaten path You could go to the
beach you could go to a museum It wonrsquot matter as
wherever you go you will always get a new and
different experience The experiences will open your
mind to a whole new world and culture which will
change your understanding and preconceived notions
about that place You will also get an opportunity to
detoxify yourself from social media Thus I believe
that travelling is more than just a hobby and can
change your entire thought process and state of
mind
Wallflower
- Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
She lived under a rock
More by force than by will
She lived there so long
She had nothing to fight with
All these people pushing her down
Her feeble frame could fight no long
She vowed to never stop the struggle
Until she had on her temples the crown
Declaring to the world her change
after years bygone
From being the young shy girl they saw
But all this struggle slowly had her crumbling
As she withered her dreams fading
Cause promises are sometimes left undone
When fate decides to yield a gun
And the world never saw the light
Of a wallflower wishing to shine so bright
Being Myself -Nidhi Mishra VIII-G
I did never lie to myself
Never strived to be someone else
And so I never shy
To look myself straight in the eye
I did never hide myself
And lavish a priceless gift
Having lsquolifersquo as its spell
Being myself Irsquoll uplift
Life is too short
Donrsquot be someone else
A onetime offer we have got
Even more precious than a thousand jewels

Women Empowerment - Devangi Dongre VII-B
The abilities of women in making decisions educa-
tion and profession have been largely suppressed
since ages considering them inferior to men The sit-
uation is worst in underdeveloped and developing na-
tions where women in a family are not allowed to
take financial decisions or decide on matters regard-
ing their own educationWith such state of affairs it
would be a fallacy to dream about the goals of sus-
tainable development and gender equality There is an
instant need to take measures to lift the social
personal and professional
status of women bringing
them shoulder to shoulder
with men These particular
measures constitute a pro-
cess which is known as ldquoWomen Empowermentrdquo
Providing better education and employment opportu-
nities to women ensuring their better health provid-
ing justice and ensuring professional equivalence are
the few methods of women empowerment

LunaVenture Beyond Horizons
- Aaryan Aggarwal IX-B
He looked from afar at his towering creation A re-
mote island in the Pacific Ocean seemed like a great
refuge after what had been happening on the Earth
He chose secrecy as his mission had raised many eye-
brows The plan was simple lsquoEscape and start overrsquo
Right now Moon seemed to be the most viable option
in terms of survival The research had been done
Moon was habitable So close to our abode our cos-
mic neighbor the Moon must exist for a reason It-
will not just be a secondary habitat but also be a step-
ping stone for further progress
His meticulously crafted plan was now just minutes
away from execution A team of four explorers would
first leave Earth and explore the Moon to test his hy-
pothesis Once a temporary col-
ony using genetically engi-
neered pods containing human
embryos is set up they would
further analyze the surroundings and find ways to
make it more habitable The lesser gravitational pull
which allowed for a comparatively lower escape ve-
locity made it easier to transport resources from the
Earth or the ISS Sure it would be difficult at first
Earth is unmatched but he knew it was for the greater
good of mankind It would mean more opportunities
and help us understand our place in this universe
Right now we have confined ourselves in a box and
this is the only way to leave it and unleash the won-
ders of the universe In front of his eyes it flew never
to come back

Make the Choice
-Nidhi Mishra VIII-G
My vision reflects its flaming intention
Irsquom steady upon the decision
About which Irsquoll never disclaim
Accepting the outcome never blame
To impulse refer those achieves
Itrsquos your resolve donrsquot quit
There wasnrsquot any lose that grieves
There was just a lesson in it
I turn down to immure oneself
In the decision of mine
I possess optimism in myself
And so I believe everything
will be fine
Though it may be tough
To perceive ones way to success
A dose of victory isnrsquot enough
Itrsquos always limitless
Television Pros and Cons
- Soumya Sheth
What do most of the people do these days to entertain
themselvesEveryone likes to switch ON their televi-
sion sets which is one of the exceptional inventions of
science When our Dads come home tired after office
the first thing they would like to do is switch On the
TV and relax while watching it from his sofa seat
This is because while watching different things that
are broadcasted on TV we forget our worries and re-
grets of the day
However like every good and popular inventions tel-
evision also has its set of some worrying habits that
people get hitched to For example sometimes kids
watch it for extensive time thereby affecting their
studies This is one of the most worrying habit for par-
ents and we should know that ignoring studies is not
good for our future and studying is as much important
for us at this tender age more than anything elseItrsquos
true that television can bring us the knowledge from
across the world We can see different parts of the
world virtually sitting at the same place But we
should know how
we can use this
incredible inven-
tion of science in
the right and bene-
ficial way for us Now-a-days Smart TVs have be-
come even more popular We can even use internet on
those TVs Use Google to search for answers we donrsquot
know use YouTube to understand how things are
made or get our doubts cleared and much much more
To summarize it I would like to urge all my fellow
students to use this precious invention of science in a
way that will benefit you to gain constructive
knowledge and avoid destructive knowledge We
should know that television is not the world but only a
small component of this world Please know that there
are other things in life which we should enjoy too
along with giving utmost importance to our studies

The night before the final examination
-Marisha Nath VIII- C
The night before the final examination appears to all
examinees as the night before the Battle of Waterloo
might have appeared to Napoleon or the Duke of Wel-
lington Our system of education being what it is we
examinees are bound to be anxious about the nature of
the nature of the questions we will have to answer
next day Even an earnest student who has done all
that needs be done by way of nervousness uncertainty
and suspense on the night before the examination The
morning of the examination finds them prostate with
nervous disorder
But this is one side the picture There are students
who may be described as soldiers of fortune They are
daredevil youngsters who do not take their examina-
tions seriously But their lack of preparation is more
than made up for by the short cuts or bazar notes they
have provided themselves with Even on the night
before the examina-
tion they would be
going about their
daily rounds They
may be found in the parks cafes and restaurants talk-
ing about tips ndashtalking glibly and confidently about
what questions are sure to come The morning of the
examination finds them as cheerful as they were on
the night before
What is needed most is self-confidence and a cool
head True we do not remember all that we have read
when we go to the Examination Hall This does not
mean that we have forgotten them Many things re-
main in the sub ndashconscious region They jump into
consciousness when we face the questions and seri-
ously think of the answers Often such answers score
more marks than prepared ones
Elegance
-Prajna VIII-D
Elegant you be for the universe to learn your versatility
Brighter you shine the orb will know your sustenance
The stars moons and clouds let know your dignity
Apparently it seems your flawless abundance
The ideal triumph mustnrsquot be exaggerated
Till you salve someonersquos hurt
Elegant you be for the universe to learn your versatility
How can you be silent if you donrsquot know your efficiency
One of the values to become successful is simplicity
Through elegance letrsquos spread positivist

Chocoland - Talreja Aastha IV-J
Once I had been to the Chocolate Land
Chocolate all around to the reach of my hand
Toffees candies lollies and bars
In my mouth a crunchy munchy war
White dark nutty and sweet
Just like a dreamy treat
Colourful wrapper shiny and bright
Which one to choose which would be right
Houses made of chocolates and doors made of bars
And out stood there a chocolate car
Soon after it was 6 oclock
And could hear the doorrsquos knock
I woke up in a hurry
Just to realise that it was a dream
Me Myself

The ant and the elephant
- SOUMEN RAO IV-E
Once upon a time in a forest there lived an ant and an
elephant The elephant was the biggest among all the
elephants So he was very proud of himself and used
to criticize everyone and the ant which was the tiniest
among them was very happy and cheerful It used to
help everyone I its own way
All the animals in the forest used to complain about
the egoistic elephant So one day when the ant saw the
elephant walking towards it it immediately thought of
a plan As soon as the elephant came near the ant
said ldquoHello My friendrdquo but the elephant replied rude-
ly saying ldquoYou tiny
ant Get off my way
otherwise yoursquoll get
crushed to deathrdquo
Hearing this ant
challenged the elephant sayingrdquo My big friend I can
make you cryrdquo The ant quickly climbed onto the trunk
of the elephant and ran towards its earit went inside
the ear and started biting the elephants ear The ele-
phant tried to flap its ears but in vain After a few
minutes tears started rolling down its eyes It cried
ldquoPlease come out of my ear I canrsquot bear the painrdquo As
soon as the ant came out the elephant apologized for
its mistake and didnrsquot tease any animals from that day
Grandparents
-Aditya Patil VIII-E
The best place in vacation
A heaven like destination
Their love for us is endless
All their sacrifices are worthless
Great is their surrounding divinity
In front of our ordinary identity
To your grandparents never be rude
Because they are your
coolest dude
They yell at our parents
when we are shouted
With generosity and be-
nevolence they are bounded
Be sure to always meet your grandparents once in a
while and enhance yourself by their presence

Water Conservation
- Paarth Bhagat VII-J
Water is life If there was no water there would be no
life Hence water is the precious gift of God to mother
Earth We cannot imagine our lives without water
We human beings are made up of water it is the only
transportation medium that carries the food molecules
and oxygen to the cells of every body parts to help the
blood It signifies that water is the most essential in-
gredient to the functioning of life of every organism
So you see living this wonderful life is impossible
without water
Water is the force behind all the industry agriculture
manufacturing and trade and commerce All forms of
energy generation is done using water Be it hydroe-
lectrically projects or thermal power plant or nuclear
power plant water is
the key ingredient in
all of them There
would be no power
without water No
water no life
So it is our responsibility to conserve this life nectar
It is possible only through by changing our outlook
towards this wonderful natural resource We must en-
sure there is no pollution of water bodies by dumping
any waste such as sewage effluents and other toxic
substances We must also ensure there is no emission
of green-house gases into the atmosphere The people
and the government must ensure installation of efflu-
ents and smoke treatment plants at industrial garbage
and sewage units

The kind Fairies -Aditys Patil VIII-E
This story starts with two beautiful babies in a king-
dom called fairyland The babies were very pretty
Their names were Ovi and Riddhi They were growing
pretty well As they grew they became more and
more pretty Over and over they were also fairies and
within 5 years they became young girls Their mother
told them to go to school The girls askedwhere are
the schools There are no schools here Mother said
dont worry you will go to the planet Earth On the
planet Earth there is a very good school named New
Horizon Public School and the short form is nhps We
said ok On the first day of our school we were very
afraid but after a few days we
became more smart than the
others We were getting a lot of
prizes which we shared with
eveyone in the school This
made us and others happy One day We became the
princess of fairyland Our wings were like a rainbow
We were twins and had very long hairs Now I end
my story with a beautiful quote
ALWAYS HELP EACH OTHER LIKE THE
FARIES BECAUSE HELPING PEOPLE IS THE
PATH TO GOD
The Day Irsquoll Never Forget - Saranya Sarangi VII -
It was a day of love and affection
There was no visible sign of caution
But something unfortunate was going to happen
Nobody knew where and when
There was a blast at half past three
In a beauty land called Paradise On Earth
A complete silence and pity hadnrsquot the thee
Perished laid the martyrs
Whom our motherland gave birth
I still remember that scaring sight
The scattered limbs I couldnrsquot see
My heart got filled with grief and fright
No Indian could glee
Terribly writhing the soldiers were seen
Some families languished and some
were crying
So loyal to their country they had been
None of their families were mollifying
Whatever homage to our martyrs we pay
Tiny before their they lay
Salute to their tribute to motherland
To protect us they always walked hand in hand
Little Birdie - Marisha Nath VIII-C
I am a little birdie in the sky
With two wings to fly
I never disturb you
I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom
O human Then why do you steal my FREEDOM
Binding me alone in the cage makes me sad
Donrsquot you know caging a bird is bad
Looking at the sky
I wish I could fly
I never disturb you
I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom
O human Then why do you steal my
FREEDOM

Summers in India - Saranya Sarangi VIII
A hot season beginning from April till May is what we
call summer And thatrsquos the basic rule in India But
thatrsquos not something through which we can define
summers in our country India The sun shining high
above the head increasing the heat and this scorching
heat is something very unique about summers in India
Those ice-lolly stalls roaming down the streets tin-
kling their tiny bells is something special one will nev-
er find in any other country Many people love this
season
Especially the children as they get to eat ice-creams
Many people even donrsquot As they feel that this season
can only make a person dehydrated exhausted and irri-
tated Summer as we think as an unfruitful season is
contrast in reality Schools conduct summer camps
during vacation where stu-
dents can join different aca-
demic and co-curricular
courses to improve them-
selves Many children even spend time with their fami-
lies
Often families plan trips to different places as they get
a very long vacation during this season But now-a-
days due to increasing heat these pleasant summers
are becoming unbearable Every just sweat and sweat
We get a lethargic feeling not ready to do any work
Due to this heat we continually keep the ACs on which
consume a lot of electricity creating trouble for our
mother Earth and us Gradually that charm of the
unique kind of summers will be lost if precautions are
not taken We must really hope and work hard to bring
back our lovely lsquoSummers in Indiarsquo
Exams are good or bad
- Nupoor Teli VIIIndashI
In my humble opinionexams are apressure on the stu-
dents They are forced to study and score good
markswhich can lead to frustration An environmentof
competitivenessof standing first is created for which
students keep on studying day and night without any
recreation It is good to studybut not just for the sake
of gaining marks
Why do we study What is the main intention behind
education Seeking intersresting and fascinating
knowledge as well as facts about the world But now-a
-daysthe main reason for studying is gaining marks If
there are no marksno career andno success This is the
mindset of 70 people of the worldespecially parents
They pressurize their children so much that they get
depressed or sometimes attempt suicide as well
Every two months an exam is conducted Moreo-
verthere are projectssubject-enrichment activi-
tieschapter test sfter every topicnotebookfile submis
sion etcAnd as acherry on top
of the cakewe have the semes-
ter exams of eighty marks as
well What all will the students
do And even if any extra-
curricular activities are being learntthen more extra
studies Just studystudy and study
Why so much of tension on the children Under this
tension only they start cheating As time passes cheat-
ing becomes a habit of their life
I fell that exams should be conducted once a term in
order to evaluate whether the students are clear with
the concepts or notThey shouldnt be pressurized for
their marksbut should be made understand their mis-
takes Let them choose their own career options on
their own Help them knowwhat they like to study and
what they want to do in their life So dont pressurize
students for what they dont likeand encourage them in
what they do After allthey are only the Rising stars of
the country

Life is magical - Piyush Sahoo VII-H
A new day or a new night
Everything in life seems bright
A new morning or a new evening
Life is full of happening
A life is just like a kite
It may disappear in a sight
Life moves from baby to old
Make your life challenging and bold
Enjoy life the fullest
Never accept less than best
Unlikely life comes to an end
But remember never to bend
Happy sadness victory and loss
Accept it the way it comes
Life can be at times tragical
But make it the most beautiful
Life is magicalhellip
Life is so magicalhellip
Humility -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
Humility is having a heart to treat others with respect
and love Considering people worthy of your love
time and efforts regardless of who they are or what
they have done A person is truly humble when they
are willing to work hard for others expecting nothing
in return
Humility has the power to change a personrsquos perspec-
tive towards life It can make a difference in the way a
person is looked upon by others Doing an act of hum-
bleness can make a personrsquos day Humility is about
not having an ego or considering things below your
dignity or considering yourself greater than others
People often confuse humility with self-respect They
canrsquot make out the difference between being useful to
others and being used by others
It takes courage to be humble
because in the era in which we
live humility is looked upon as
weakness People assume yoursquore not strong enough to
stand up for yourself They think you surrender in-
stead of protesting They will despise and scorn you
but they donrsquot know that you take pleasure in what
you do because they havenrsquot experienced that kind of
joy
So if you do have humility donrsquot draw back from it
because of what others think Whatever you are doing
is for the good of others and you have no need to be
ashamed of that Humbleness will spread from person
to person Who knows maybe your one act of humili-
ty will spread on to help a person in need So be brave
be humble
Mom -Tanvi Sawant VII-C
Oh mom I came to this beautiful world just because

I am the EARTH - Deepashikha P VII F
Hello I am the Earth
For me I am the sweetest heart
I provide you with lots of stuff
With food and the mangoes that you love
I give you water soil and Sun
I am special as I am just one
But the humans living on me
Are making me dirty
They are cutting all the trees
And killing all the species helliphellip
They filling me with smoke and death
They are killing themselves
with lack of breath
I am the Earth
I am your mother
Make me the best by pol-
luting me less and less
And preventing my green dress
You can save water
you plant a tree
Make a better home for you on me
Recycle things donrsquot throw them awayhellip
MAKE EVERY DAY AN EARTH

OUR FUTURE EARTH - Hiya Purswani VIII-B
We all know the present condition of our environment
around us Inspite of advanced and modern technolo-
gy we humans are still not able to find a solution
Early humans neither they had much technology nor
they had enough intelligence but still in the early ages
the environment was clean making it the reason for
the increasing life span of humans Its a shocking
news to know that the amount of plastic bottles pro-
duced now may lead to increase in plastic pollution
and cause several death Its a great opportunity to be
as a human in this beautiful earth and so its our re-
sponsibility to make it clean In monsoon people cut
down trees to prevent accidents to occur but do we
plant trees in summer to prevent more global warm-
ing We can prevent bad things to happen but not can-
not take that much effort for good things to spread
Have you ever wondered while seeing a tap open how
many taps are left open at the same time in the whole
world It might sound unbelievable there can be a
World War III on water land and fresh air The way
we are thinking about the wastage of water may lead
us to a massive pain Itrsquos truly said by Warren Buffet
sometimes to buy things we need we have to sell
things we do not need This happens in the case of
lacking of intelligence We say every scholar is a true
genius but in my
opinion a person is
genius if he has the
ability to save and
change things in his
own way We all have the ability to save this earth
but our thoughts our ego and our greediness is stop-
ping us to think in a better way Everyone has a good
and a bad side in his life What matters is the part we
choose to act upon This is an excellent thought said
by Sirius Black in the movie Harry Potter Itrsquos time to
bring a change We always have time to do good
things all we need is hope Spreading awareness is the
best idea to bring a change If everyone stops thinking
about their economical needs and start contributing
towards the environment by planting more trees cer-
tainly there will be a beneficial change in this world
Neither do we think about the future nor care about
the present Why not be an optimist and think in a
positive way of life Our studies our needs our
knowledge will not help us in any way if we donʼt
change Its not that easy to plant a tree and care for it a
whole year if we only plant it with all our love nature
is certainly going to care for it Lastly I would like to
end with a quoterdquo Come forth in the light of things
nature will be your teacher
The Small Hours Pranjal Anil Chavan V-C
No more my little song Come back
And now of nights I lay my head on down
to watch the black
And wait the unfailing gray
Oh Sad are winter nights and slow
And sad is a song thatrsquos dumb
And sad it is to lie I know
Another dawn will come

Floods and Destruction
- Nirvi Soni IV-H
India faces occurrence of floods each year in some
parts of Assam during the rainy season Water of river
Brahmaputra rises and enters into many villages
causing great destruction Floods are unavoidable but
we need to take precautions in the following ways by
reducing mining activities building dams growing
more trees etc During floods the weather becomes
wet and gloomy Trees and plants get uprooted This
way floods cause great de-
struction to both life and
property It also becomes dif-
ficult to travel from place to
place Many people are left
homeless The rain water should be harvested and
stored in large storage tanks The harvested rainwater
can be used for washing clothes and cleaning By us-
ing rain water in our daily life we can preserve water
resources
Good Morning Everyone -Vyomi ThakkarVI - H
Come with me wersquoll have some fun
Wersquoll go on a walk
Donrsquot worry will have a great talk
Roaming around the ground
With beautiful birdrsquos sound
We donrsquot know if anything will be found
Wersquoll surely find the crown
Up on the chilled mountain
We saw a beautiful fountain
Surrounded by a beautiful castle
Decorated with the colourful tassel
Just be quiet and keen
Soon you will be the queen
Think before you speak
-Shravya Atreya IX-D
Think before you speak
There are hearts you must please
Think before you speak
You canrsquot undo the harm done after you squeak
Think before you speak
You might have done greater harm than you might
think
Think before you speak
There are still places left for you
to seek
Think before you speak
There is a long way to go before
you sleep
Think before you speak
There are hearts you must
please
Sunrise -Anuradha Singh VII-H
Over the glimmering purple sea
Under the golden sun rise

staring at his own in the
enamelled sea
Everything is fine
With fading stars and rising light

GLOBAL WARMING - Adhyant Singh VII-F
Global warming refers to the steady rise in the Earthrsquos mean temperature The effect of global
warming had come into sight when polar ice caps started melting this phenomena is called ICE ndash
ALBEDO the ice caps melt faster due to the rise in the temperature This sudden rise in the temperature near
the poles began in 1999 The polar ice caps in Antarctica melt at the rate of 400000000000 tons per year ac-
cording to some scientists it would approximately take 5000 years to melt the total ice on earth In 2013 Inter-
governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) stated that the main cause of Global warming is human inter-
vention like emission of Green house gases like Carbon-Di-Oxide nitrous oxide and methane
These gases trap the heat which is reflected by the Earthrsquos surface thus increasing the temperature and also
destroying the ozone layer which prevents the ultraviolet rays of the sun from reaching the earthrsquos surface Al-
so burning fossil fuel contributes to the problem Effects of global warming have also led to the increase in the
sea level and extreme weather like heat waves and change in the regional pattern of precipitation and the ex-
pansion of desserts A concentrated and focused effort by the entire humanity can curb down the impact of
Global warming and also prevent it Planting more trees to control the amount of carbon-di-oxide eliminating
the use of chlorofluorocarbon or (CFCrsquoS) are a few steps All the countries have signed up with the United Na-
tions Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to prevent the doomsday of Earth So to prevent
earthrsquos doomsday we all must work together
Itrsquos not too late there is still timehellipBefore the earth ends and we whinehellipSo keep on marching and planting
greens To end Global Warming and Make our planet greenhellip
What will happen without Instagram

Instagram Instagram Instagram
I was hearing it from everyone
I asked who was the inventor
Nobody knew the answer to my question
Mobiles Mobiles Mobiles

I asked who was the inventor
Again nobody was aware
I wondered why was it like so
Why is it they donrsquot know
There was one time we were
engrossed in books
Now we care more about our looks
Instagram wonrsquot give you a job
You will have to study and top
Your fellow followers wonrsquot help either
If you donrsquot have a job no one will bother

The Night - Matangi Rajesh VII-D
Its the night
The moon is white
When we switch off the light
What a beautiful sight
After this comes the sun bright
There is no more artificial light
This is the time to start your diet
To go for a run wearing tights
Then comes the evening when
you have snacks light
And fly a big colorful kite
or include your sibling in a pillow fight
Again comes the night
A moon which is white
We switch off the light
A beautiful sight

Hyperloop -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
Human inventions have baffled the world They are
innumerable ranging from revolutionizing
smartphones to not-so-breathtaking ice cream cones
but they play a role in our life just the same The
things which are commonplace to us now were unbe-
knownst to people once upon a time For the people of
the 19th century the car was a thing of the future until
in 1885 Karl Benz ran his first car on the road Then
for centuries people took the prospect of of flying like
the birds as only a wild possibility which was made
possible in 1903 when the Wright Brothers flew the
first plane
What is the thing of the future for us Well we are the
future modifying and bettering the things that have
been made and crating stuff that we didnt even dare
to imagine about The Hyperloop fulfills both aspects
of the definition a very advanced model of our faith-
ful train and yet a brand new idea to scale greater
heights The Hyperloop is an ideal mode of efficient
transport Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane
with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing
speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt have to
ace the two types of friction that every other vehicle
has to face Air resistance and ground friction The
pods of the Hyperloop are propelled through a depres-
surized tub Since it is almost vacuum very little air
resistance can be offered inside the tube Due to this
the energy required to travel is also very less The Hy-
perloops unique technology uses magnetic levitation
to guide and lift the pods of the rail Since the pod is
not in contact with the ground there is no friction act-
ing on itThe first Hyperloop ndash virgin Hyperloop one
is set to run with passengers as early as 2021 and is
created by SpaceX and Tesla
The mastermind behind the Hyperloop is Elon Musk
who first published a 58 page white-paper on the web-
site of his company-Space X It was available to all
and was titled Hyperloop alpha The Hyperloop may
be the pioneer of a whole new era of transportation
traveling a distance which would otherwise take 12
hours in just I hour it has crossed all known bounda-
ries and created higher limits for us to reach and reach
we must for when time is money and money is time
an option that saves both needs to be used
Exams are good or bad -Nupoor Teli VIII
In my humble opinion exams are pressure on the stu-
dents They are forced to study and score good marks
which can lead to frustration An environment of com-
petitiveness of standing first is created for which stu-
dents keep on studying day and night without any rec-
reation It is good to study but not just for the sake of
gaining marks
Why do we study What is the main intention behind
education Seeking interesting and fascinating
knowledge as well as facts about the world But now-a
-days the main reason for studying is gaining marks
If there are no marks no career and no success This
is the mindset of 70 people of the world especially
parents They pressurize their children so much that
they get depressed or sometimes attempt suicide as
wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-
ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities
chapter test after every topic notebookfile submis-
sion etc And as cherry on top of the cake we have the
semester exams of eighty marks as well What all will
the students do And even if any extra-curricular ac-
tivities are being learnt then more extra studies Just
study study and study
Why so much of tension on the children Under this
tension only they start cheating As time passes cheat-
ing becomes a habit of their lifeI fell that exams
should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate
whether the students are clear with the concepts or
not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but
should be made understand their mistakes Let them
choose their own career options on their own Help
them know what they like to study and what they want
to do in their life So dont pressurize students for
what they dont like and encourage them in what they
do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the
country

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B
Life is all about interactions You meet people and
you interact You observe them consciously or sub-
consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us
more than we even realise Some people leave a last-
ing impression on us and entirely change the course of
life for better or for worse Some people influence us
help us go further and make all the difference
I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-
tial people They have taken care of me ever since I
came into this world They are the ones who wish the
best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-
cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel
no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-
come a part of my personality They are the ones who
helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me
to be better
When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are
the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-
takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique
learning experience It has made me realise how eve-
rything they do has a reason They are the ones who
have taught me the importance of the little things in
life They are the ones who have helped me recognize
and follow my passion The very thought of them not
being a part of my life is scary to the least as without
them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am
today and whatever I have achieved is all because of
them and I am very grateful of that
Eyesight
-Aditi Shenoy VIII-F
The tired little girl went to bed
Recollecting the days bygone
Seeing them in her dreams
As the day she was born
Trying to see the world
With her little eyes
But the sun with his brightness
Wouldnt let her catch the sights
The girl still eager
And curious to see the world around her
Again opened her eyes
But her vision was blurred
Still she did not lose hope
Which flowed through her blood
Encouraging and pushing her
To see the world further
Her heart beating fast
Her enthusiasm increasing
She slowly tried to see
With her eyes continuously blinking
Starting to lose hope
She was ready to give up
But curiosity got the upper hand
And pushed her forward
With her hope again rising
and strength in her eyesight
She is finally seeing the world
With wide open eyes

Conquering the space

Chandrayan-2 Indiarsquos Moon Mission The dream of
entire India to land on moon and become the 4th Na-
tion in the world to put its flag on the soil of moon
after USSR USA amp China
ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launched
Chandrayan-2 on 22nd July 2019 from Bengaluru
(Satish Dhawan Space Center) under the command of
ISRO chief K Shivan It consists of ORBITER
LANDER amp Lunar Rover PRAGYAN Like Chandra-
yan-1(22nd Oct2008) it was Indiarsquos indigenous moon
mission
It touched the Moon Surface on Saturday early morn-
ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-
ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-
ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of
moon it lost contact with the ground station Because
of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be
monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m
(approx) away from its assigned location near
SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still
orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange
signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it
The ORBITER which will remain active for another
12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-
owed portion of the moon for the first time in history
with the help of its high-resolution camera
The entire Nation irrespective of their field of
knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front
of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of
VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true
Indians who always dream progress and development
of their motherland But our heart never accepts this
as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement
for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-
pose of our mission
But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at
this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring
country quoting this as a big failure on part of India
blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos
money on this
Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will
be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to
this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other
nations on such missions
Further I should say that India is not new in the field
of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-
TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975
It was named after famous scientist of ancient India
ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested
for the first time the HELIOCENTRIC THEORY
(Sun at the center and all planets revolve around the
Sun) of the Solar System much earlier than ready for
New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 57
COPERNICUS as believed in the western world
Other countries might have moon on their flags but
we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is
great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are
whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-
rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is
only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the
unknown and its continual application for the benefit
of the mankind)rdquo
Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by
various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-
PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-
cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958
onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as
46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was
attempted out of which only 21 was successful
Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-
tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the
overall attempts conducted by other Nations
USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-
NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was
planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January
SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR
successfully on moon
NASA after many attempts was successful to send
first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th
July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk
on moon
Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-
clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-
SION MANGAL for our next moon mission

ldquoFreedom of Press in Democracyrdquo
- Poorvi Sanu IX-G
A free press and a free judiciary are two very important
cornerstones of a democracy Especially in the modern
era of widely accessible news and innumerable infor-
mation at our fingertips freedom of press is highly valued
liberty that citizens should be aware of and know the rea-
son why it is given to us as Indians Freedom means those
people who state the liberty or right and privileged to
speak according to their will
Freedom is that opportunity which we should never avoid
and in all bad situations it gives us all right to handle the
problems in our own innovative and thoughtful way Press
and media are the vital way to express and speech some
views and opinions in a democratic country It is the me-
dium of expressing an opinion of the people It justifies
the individual right to speech and expression a coveted
right enshrined in the Indian constitution and the law of
other countries on the globe
The importance of freedom of press lies in the fact that
for most citizens the prospect of personal familiarity with
newsworthy events is unrealistic In seeking out news the
media therefore acts for the public in large it is the means
by which people receive free flow of information and ide-
as which is essential to intelligence self-governance that
is in turn democracy For a proper functioning of democ-
racy it is essential that
citizens are informed
about news from vari-
ous parts of the coun-
try and even abroad because only then can they form ra-
tional opinions A citizen surely cannot be expected per-
sonally to gather news to enable him or her to form such
opinions Hence the media plays an important role in a
democracy and serves as an agency of the people to gath-
er news for them
It is for this reason that freedom of press has been empha-
sised in all democratic countries while it was not permit-
ted in feudal or totalitarian regimes
In India the media have a great responsibility also to see
that the news they present is accurate and serve the inter-
est of the people If the media convey false news that may
harm the reputation of a person or a section of society it
may do a great damage since reputation is a valuable asset
for a person
Even if the media subsequently correct a statement the
damage done may be irreparable Hence the media should
take care to carefully investigate any news item before
carefully reporting it
I know of a case were the photograph of a High Court
judge who was known to be upright was shown on a TV
New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 22
channel along with that of a known criminal The alle-
gation against the judge was that he had acquired the
land not in any discretionary quota but in the open
market at the market priceAlso sometimes the media
present twisted or distorted news that may contain an
element of truth but also an element of untruth This
too should be avoided because a half-truth can be
more dangerous than a total lie The media should
avoid giving any slant to news and avoid sensational-
ism and yellow journalism Only then will they gain
the respect of the people and fulfil their true role in a
democracySome newspapers espouse the cause of
only one community
ldquoThey do not judge problems on their merits They
view problems from a communal angle Such newspa-
pers do disservice to the nation On the other hand
some responsible newspapers exercise great restraint
while reporting news about riots between two commu-
nities They never give the identity of the community
which started the riot If there are any casualties they
do not give a community-wise break up lest this
should trigger off a bigger riot
In India most of the newspapers are controlled by
business magnates Such newspapers therefore pro-
mote the interest of the capitalists by given tainted
news They pay no heed even to the genuine prob-
lems of the worker^ farmers artisans and other
weaker sections of the people
The press is the defender and the protector of the
rights and liberties of the people But it can per-
form this role only if it enjoys freedom in publish-
ing news views and reporting It can function ef-
fectively only in an open society where decisions are
made in a democratic manner The press should not be
scared of influential people The press should consider
it their duty to protect the right of the workers and oth-
er downtrodden sections of the people
While the press should enjoy freedom to perform its
role effectively it should not treat such freedom as a
licence to defame anybody It should not publish any
views or support any movement which violates our
Constitution or is against the territorial integrity and
unity of the country
To the conclusion As the worldrsquos largest democracy
India has a duty to ensure that the press has the duty to
disseminate information and express opinions without
excessive censorship Unfortunately in recent years
the right has been increasingly curbed This oppres-
sion of press is an alarming trend as it does not allow
for proper checks and balances on the government and
its activities The people of our country need to re-
member that in order to have a strong democracy they
need a strong and free press

Our Future Earth
- Hiya Purswani VIII B
We all know the present condition of our environment
around us Inspite of advanced and modern technolo-
gy we humans are still not able to find a solution
Early humans neither they had much technology nor
they had enough intelligence but still in the early ages
the environment was clean making it the reason for
the increasing life span of humans Its a shocking
news to know that the amount of plastic bottles pro-
duced now may lead to increase in plastic pollution
and cause several death
Its a great opportunity to be as a human in this beauti-
ful earth and so itrsquos our responsibility to make it
clean In monsoon people cut down trees to prevent
accidents to occur but do we plant trees in summer to
prevent more global warming We can prevent bad
things to happen but not cannot take that much efforts
for good things to spread Have you ever wondered
while seeing a tap open how many taps are left open
at the same time in the whole world It might sound
unbelievable there can be a World War III on water
land and fresh air The way we are thinking about the
wastage of water may lead us to a massive pain I trsquos
truly said by Warren Buffet sometimes to buy things
we need we have to sell things we do not need This
happens in the case of lacking of intelligence We say
every scholar is a true genius but in my opinion a per-
son is genius if he has the ability to save and change
things in his own way We all have the ability to save
this earth but our thoughts our ego and our greedi-
ness is stopping us to think in a better way rdquoEveryone
has a good and a bad side in his life What matters is
the part we choose to act upon rdquoThis is an excellent
thought said by Sirius Black in the movie Harry Pot-
ter Itrsquos time to bring a change
We always have time to do good things all we need is
hope Spreading awareness is the best idea to bring a
change If everyone stops thinking about their eco-
nomical needs and start contributing towards the envi-
ronment by planting more trees certainly there will be
a beneficial change in this world Neither do we think
about the future nor care about the present Why not
be an optimist and think in a positive way of life Our
studies our needs our knowledge will not help us in
any way if we donrsquot change Its not that easy to plant a
tree and care for it a whole year but if we only plant it
with all our love nature is certainly going to care for
it Lastly I would like to end with a quote Come
forth in the light of things nature will be your teach-
er
Endeavor
- Heet Shripal Kankariya VII-G
It is hard to recall the past
but good thoughts are forever
Remember the step you took
May it be stupid or clever
Though the time runs out
your hope should never
Dont lose ittry and endeavor
Do your best even if the conse-
quences make your work the worst
Try and try and make your work better
It is hard to recall the past
but good thoughts are forever
Remember the step you took maybe stupid or clever

The Aloof Humans - A curse to mother
earth - Vaijayanthimala Navneet VIII-J
With all the night strength and gust
Preserving nature is must
Mother Nature has been so lucrative
Letrsquos do something to save her
Something new and creativersquo
Let us get pollution under control
Before mother Earth weeps and implores
Let clean air sweep
Both high and deep
Let the tiny piece of land
Be clean tidy and neat
Let uncontaminated water be
So that everything doesnrsquot
end like the sea
Let the tree stand
lsquoCause it is more alluring than the seven colour band
Without being loquacious
Mother nature is indeed precious
The Little girl
- Bhumika Sharma VI-F
I found in a garage
Near the carriage
A tiny little baby girl
She had cute blue eyes
Which were very small in size
And had beautiful hair with a cute little curl
I wonder why she was there
And she came fromhellipwhere
I then asked a person passing on the road
If he knew the merciless who
kept her near the horses and
toads
The person replied ldquoWho cares
O Madamhellip
hellipFor a girl who is denied by her
dad and mum
I felt very sad and cried
But I saved her lest she died
Who will save many such girls
Imagine a world without these pearls
Treat them with respect and love
The Little Guest - Ashwathy Ganesh VI ndashD
It was rainy season
At home came a pigeon
It made its nest and was a pest
But there came another guest
Who shooed away the little pest
First there was nothing but a basket of twigs
And I watched it eating figs
When the thunder came with the rain
I got a bit scared
But it didnrsquot fly away
Because I took care
Soon there were three small
eggs
Which were taken care of by the guest
The bird is easy to guess
Because it doesnrsquot make a mess
With its red tail
It looked a bit frail
Between the plants green full full
Was the nest of the little Bulbul

The Art of Dharma as per Mahabharata
- Abhishek Singh [Teacher SrSecondary]
Dharma means the Duty or RighteousnessDharma is
subtle many times we are forced to take wrong
means for right means(and ends us like Arjuna in hell)
or reaches wrong ends following right means(like
Yudhishthira in exile)Its like the Ying and Yang
Duryodhanarsquos envy for the Pandvarsquos Indraprastha and
Yudhishthirarsquos greed or addiction to a game of dice
and win more territory was the main cause of war
The envy can result in healthy competitiveness raising
oneself up by making the envious work harder for
rivalrsquos possessions or eternal sickness to pull the rival
downThe envy and greed are both presents even in
the
modern day world the failure
of communism was caused by
envy among citizens while the
capitalist system is stranded by greed The aim of so-
ciety should not be to suppress these feelings among
its citizens but to channelize them productively Envy
is the vice of socialism Greed is the evil of capital-
ism
Dharma is not justice Its difference between Retribu-
tive Justice and forgiveness While a nation with
stronger legal laws can prefer justice over peace the
newly created or war-torn nations with weaker legal
laws should prefer to restore peace and harmony in
society rather than emphasizing justice
Beware You are in for a scare
- Ayush Lonakadi IX-C
I had returned home late but after reaching home I had
wished I had not reached home that day There was no
electricity which just made it creepier When I
reached my room my exhaustion made me forget that
I was famished I lay on the bed scrolling down pic-
tures I had recently clicked I relived happy moments
but someone out there wasnrsquot happy to see me happy
and I noticed a photograph in my phone which be-
mused me ndash not mentioning how frightened I had be-
come
The picture waswashow can I explain The back-
ground was of my house In the photoI was
sleeping Butbut how could that have been possi-
ble I lived alone there was no one to click my photo
while I was sleeping I was petrified with my eyes
wide open and my whole body was horror-struck
Then all the unwanted noises came into focus ndash the
noises from outside noises of something creaking and
the wind forcefully blowing through the thin slit of the
window eerily
I was panic-stricken I
quickly switched my
phone off and kept it on
the table beside and did
not bother about changing my clothes and covered my
face with a blanket and hugged it tightly I could not
even think of sleeping Every second the clock ticked
I hugged the blanket harder My face and chest were
drenched in sweat I felt some supernatural move-
ments around me something trying to reach out to
me
By then I was praying to God to take me away from
that place I was ready to die Then something hap-
pened and I became frantic from tip to toe lsquoIt is Tues-
day todayrsquo The virtual assistant of my phone said but
I clearly remembered that I had switched off my
phone Who asked the question It was this trauma
that I couldnrsquot bear and today I am here telling you
this story after turning into a roaming soul Look to
your right I am right beside you

Travelling Aaryan Aggarwal IX - B
Travelling is an experience It doesnrsquot matter where
you travel Every place is great in its own ways You
could go to a culturally rich yet underdeveloped place
or you could go to an advanced metropolitan place
You could travel slow paced or you could be adven-
turous and go off the beaten path You could go to the
beach you could go to a museum It wonrsquot matter as
wherever you go you will always get a new and
different experience The experiences will open your
mind to a whole new world and culture which will
change your understanding and preconceived notions
about that place You will also get an opportunity to
detoxify yourself from social media Thus I believe
that travelling is more than just a hobby and can
change your entire thought process and state of
mind
Wallflower
- Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
She lived under a rock
More by force than by will
She lived there so long
She had nothing to fight with
All these people pushing her down
Her feeble frame could fight no long
She vowed to never stop the struggle
Until she had on her temples the crown
Declaring to the world her change
after years bygone
From being the young shy girl they saw
But all this struggle slowly had her crumbling
As she withered her dreams fading
Cause promises are sometimes left undone
When fate decides to yield a gun
And the world never saw the light
Of a wallflower wishing to shine so bright
Being Myself -Nidhi Mishra VIII-G
I did never lie to myself
Never strived to be someone else
And so I never shy
To look myself straight in the eye
I did never hide myself
And lavish a priceless gift
Having lsquolifersquo as its spell
Being myself Irsquoll uplift
Life is too short
Donrsquot be someone else
A onetime offer we have got
Even more precious than a thousand jewels

Women Empowerment - Devangi Dongre VII-B
The abilities of women in making decisions educa-
tion and profession have been largely suppressed
since ages considering them inferior to men The sit-
uation is worst in underdeveloped and developing na-
tions where women in a family are not allowed to
take financial decisions or decide on matters regard-
ing their own educationWith such state of affairs it
would be a fallacy to dream about the goals of sus-
tainable development and gender equality There is an
instant need to take measures to lift the social
personal and professional
status of women bringing
them shoulder to shoulder
with men These particular
measures constitute a pro-
cess which is known as ldquoWomen Empowermentrdquo
Providing better education and employment opportu-
nities to women ensuring their better health provid-
ing justice and ensuring professional equivalence are
the few methods of women empowerment

- Aaryan Aggarwal IX-B
He looked from afar at his towering creation A re-
mote island in the Pacific Ocean seemed like a great
refuge after what had been happening on the Earth
He chose secrecy as his mission had raised many eye-
brows The plan was simple lsquoEscape and start overrsquo
Right now Moon seemed to be the most viable option
in terms of survival The research had been done
Moon was habitable So close to our abode our cos-
mic neighbor the Moon must exist for a reason It-
will not just be a secondary habitat but also be a step-
ping stone for further progress
His meticulously crafted plan was now just minutes
away from execution A team of four explorers would
first leave Earth and explore the Moon to test his hy-
pothesis Once a temporary col-
ony using genetically engi-
neered pods containing human
embryos is set up they would
further analyze the surroundings and find ways to
make it more habitable The lesser gravitational pull
which allowed for a comparatively lower escape ve-
locity made it easier to transport resources from the
Earth or the ISS Sure it would be difficult at first
Earth is unmatched but he knew it was for the greater
good of mankind It would mean more opportunities
and help us understand our place in this universe
Right now we have confined ourselves in a box and
this is the only way to leave it and unleash the won-
ders of the universe In front of his eyes it flew never
to come back

Make the Choice
-Nidhi Mishra VIII-G
My vision reflects its flaming intention
Irsquom steady upon the decision
About which Irsquoll never disclaim
Accepting the outcome never blame
To impulse refer those achieves
Itrsquos your resolve donrsquot quit
There wasnrsquot any lose that grieves
There was just a lesson in it

In the decision of mine
I possess optimism in myself
And so I believe everything
will be fine
Though it may be tough
To perceive ones way to success
A dose of victory isnrsquot enough
Itrsquos always limitless
Television Pros and Cons
- Soumya Sheth
What do most of the people do these days to entertain
themselvesEveryone likes to switch ON their televi-
sion sets which is one of the exceptional inventions of
science When our Dads come home tired after office
the first thing they would like to do is switch On the
TV and relax while watching it from his sofa seat
This is because while watching different things that
are broadcasted on TV we forget our worries and re-
grets of the day
However like every good and popular inventions tel-
evision also has its set of some worrying habits that
people get hitched to For example sometimes kids
watch it for extensive time thereby affecting their
studies This is one of the most worrying habit for par-
ents and we should know that ignoring studies is not
good for our future and studying is as much important
for us at this tender age more than anything elseItrsquos
true that television can bring us the knowledge from
across the world We can see different parts of the
world virtually sitting at the same place But we
should know how
we can use this
incredible inven-
tion of science in
the right and bene-
ficial way for us Now-a-days Smart TVs have be-
come even more popular We can even use internet on
those TVs Use Google to search for answers we donrsquot
know use YouTube to understand how things are
made or get our doubts cleared and much much more
To summarize it I would like to urge all my fellow
students to use this precious invention of science in a
way that will benefit you to gain constructive
knowledge and avoid destructive knowledge We
should know that television is not the world but only a
small component of this world Please know that there
are other things in life which we should enjoy too
along with giving utmost importance to our studies

The night before the final examination
-Marisha Nath VIII- C
The night before the final examination appears to all
examinees as the night before the Battle of Waterloo
might have appeared to Napoleon or the Duke of Wel-
lington Our system of education being what it is we
examinees are bound to be anxious about the nature of
the nature of the questions we will have to answer
next day Even an earnest student who has done all
that needs be done by way of nervousness uncertainty
and suspense on the night before the examination The
morning of the examination finds them prostate with
nervous disorder
But this is one side the picture There are students
who may be described as soldiers of fortune They are
daredevil youngsters who do not take their examina-
tions seriously But their lack of preparation is more
than made up for by the short cuts or bazar notes they
have provided themselves with Even on the night
before the examina-
tion they would be
going about their
daily rounds They
may be found in the parks cafes and restaurants talk-
ing about tips ndashtalking glibly and confidently about
what questions are sure to come The morning of the
examination finds them as cheerful as they were on
the night before
What is needed most is self-confidence and a cool
head True we do not remember all that we have read
when we go to the Examination Hall This does not
mean that we have forgotten them Many things re-
main in the sub ndashconscious region They jump into
consciousness when we face the questions and seri-
ously think of the answers Often such answers score
more marks than prepared ones
Elegance
-Prajna VIII-D
Elegant you be for the universe to learn your versatility
Brighter you shine the orb will know your sustenance
The stars moons and clouds let know your dignity
Apparently it seems your flawless abundance
The ideal triumph mustnrsquot be exaggerated
Till you salve someonersquos hurt
Elegant you be for the universe to learn your versatility
How can you be silent if you donrsquot know your efficiency
One of the values to become successful is simplicity
Through elegance letrsquos spread positivist

Chocoland - Talreja Aastha IV-J
Once I had been to the Chocolate Land
Chocolate all around to the reach of my hand
Toffees candies lollies and bars
In my mouth a crunchy munchy war
White dark nutty and sweet
Just like a dreamy treat
Colourful wrapper shiny and bright
Which one to choose which would be right
Houses made of chocolates and doors made of bars
And out stood there a chocolate car
Soon after it was 6 oclock
And could hear the doorrsquos knock
I woke up in a hurry
Just to realise that it was a dream

The ant and the elephant
- SOUMEN RAO IV-E
Once upon a time in a forest there lived an ant and an
elephant The elephant was the biggest among all the
elephants So he was very proud of himself and used
to criticize everyone and the ant which was the tiniest
among them was very happy and cheerful It used to
help everyone I its own way
All the animals in the forest used to complain about
the egoistic elephant So one day when the ant saw the
elephant walking towards it it immediately thought of
a plan As soon as the elephant came near the ant
said ldquoHello My friendrdquo but the elephant replied rude-
ly saying ldquoYou tiny
ant Get off my way
otherwise yoursquoll get
crushed to deathrdquo
Hearing this ant
challenged the elephant sayingrdquo My big friend I can
make you cryrdquo The ant quickly climbed onto the trunk
of the elephant and ran towards its earit went inside
the ear and started biting the elephants ear The ele-
phant tried to flap its ears but in vain After a few
minutes tears started rolling down its eyes It cried
ldquoPlease come out of my ear I canrsquot bear the painrdquo As
soon as the ant came out the elephant apologized for
its mistake and didnrsquot tease any animals from that day
Grandparents
-Aditya Patil VIII-E
The best place in vacation
A heaven like destination
Their love for us is endless
All their sacrifices are worthless
Great is their surrounding divinity
In front of our ordinary identity
To your grandparents never be rude
Because they are your
coolest dude
They yell at our parents
when we are shouted
With generosity and be-
nevolence they are bounded
Be sure to always meet your grandparents once in a
while and enhance yourself by their presence

Water Conservation
- Paarth Bhagat VII-J
Water is life If there was no water there would be no
life Hence water is the precious gift of God to mother
Earth We cannot imagine our lives without water
We human beings are made up of water it is the only
transportation medium that carries the food molecules
and oxygen to the cells of every body parts to help the
blood It signifies that water is the most essential in-
gredient to the functioning of life of every organism
So you see living this wonderful life is impossible
without water
Water is the force behind all the industry agriculture
manufacturing and trade and commerce All forms of
energy generation is done using water Be it hydroe-
lectrically projects or thermal power plant or nuclear
power plant water is
the key ingredient in
all of them There
would be no power
without water No
water no life
So it is our responsibility to conserve this life nectar
It is possible only through by changing our outlook
towards this wonderful natural resource We must en-
sure there is no pollution of water bodies by dumping
any waste such as sewage effluents and other toxic
substances We must also ensure there is no emission
of green-house gases into the atmosphere The people
and the government must ensure installation of efflu-
ents and smoke treatment plants at industrial garbage
and sewage units

The kind Fairies -Aditys Patil VIII-E
This story starts with two beautiful babies in a king-
dom called fairyland The babies were very pretty
Their names were Ovi and Riddhi They were growing
pretty well As they grew they became more and
more pretty Over and over they were also fairies and
within 5 years they became young girls Their mother
told them to go to school The girls askedwhere are
the schools There are no schools here Mother said
dont worry you will go to the planet Earth On the
planet Earth there is a very good school named New
Horizon Public School and the short form is nhps We
said ok On the first day of our school we were very
afraid but after a few days we
became more smart than the
others We were getting a lot of
prizes which we shared with
eveyone in the school This
made us and others happy One day We became the
princess of fairyland Our wings were like a rainbow
We were twins and had very long hairs Now I end
my story with a beautiful quote
ALWAYS HELP EACH OTHER LIKE THE
FARIES BECAUSE HELPING PEOPLE IS THE
PATH TO GOD
The Day Irsquoll Never Forget - Saranya Sarangi VII -
It was a day of love and affection
There was no visible sign of caution
But something unfortunate was going to happen
Nobody knew where and when
There was a blast at half past three
In a beauty land called Paradise On Earth
A complete silence and pity hadnrsquot the thee
Perished laid the martyrs
Whom our motherland gave birth
I still remember that scaring sight
The scattered limbs I couldnrsquot see
My heart got filled with grief and fright
No Indian could glee
Terribly writhing the soldiers were seen
Some families languished and some
were crying
So loyal to their country they had been
None of their families were mollifying
Whatever homage to our martyrs we pay
Tiny before their they lay
Salute to their tribute to motherland
To protect us they always walked hand in hand
Little Birdie - Marisha Nath VIII-C
I am a little birdie in the sky
With two wings to fly
I never disturb you
I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom
O human Then why do you steal my FREEDOM
Binding me alone in the cage makes me sad
Donrsquot you know caging a bird is bad
Looking at the sky
I wish I could fly
I never disturb you
I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom
O human Then why do you steal my
FREEDOM

Summers in India - Saranya Sarangi VIII
A hot season beginning from April till May is what we
call summer And thatrsquos the basic rule in India But
thatrsquos not something through which we can define
summers in our country India The sun shining high
above the head increasing the heat and this scorching
heat is something very unique about summers in India
Those ice-lolly stalls roaming down the streets tin-
kling their tiny bells is something special one will nev-
er find in any other country Many people love this
season
Especially the children as they get to eat ice-creams
Many people even donrsquot As they feel that this season
can only make a person dehydrated exhausted and irri-
tated Summer as we think as an unfruitful season is
contrast in reality Schools conduct summer camps
during vacation where stu-
dents can join different aca-
demic and co-curricular
courses to improve them-
selves Many children even spend time with their fami-
lies
Often families plan trips to different places as they get
a very long vacation during this season But now-a-
days due to increasing heat these pleasant summers
are becoming unbearable Every just sweat and sweat
We get a lethargic feeling not ready to do any work
Due to this heat we continually keep the ACs on which
consume a lot of electricity creating trouble for our
mother Earth and us Gradually that charm of the
unique kind of summers will be lost if precautions are
not taken We must really hope and work hard to bring
back our lovely lsquoSummers in Indiarsquo
Exams are good or bad
- Nupoor Teli VIIIndashI
In my humble opinionexams are apressure on the stu-
dents They are forced to study and score good
markswhich can lead to frustration An environmentof
competitivenessof standing first is created for which
students keep on studying day and night without any
recreation It is good to studybut not just for the sake
of gaining marks
Why do we study What is the main intention behind
education Seeking intersresting and fascinating
knowledge as well as facts about the world But now-a
-daysthe main reason for studying is gaining marks If
there are no marksno career andno success This is the
mindset of 70 people of the worldespecially parents
They pressurize their children so much that they get
depressed or sometimes attempt suicide as well
Every two months an exam is conducted Moreo-
verthere are projectssubject-enrichment activi-
tieschapter test sfter every topicnotebookfile submis
sion etcAnd as acherry on top
of the cakewe have the semes-
ter exams of eighty marks as
well What all will the students
do And even if any extra-
curricular activities are being learntthen more extra
studies Just studystudy and study
Why so much of tension on the children Under this
tension only they start cheating As time passes cheat-
ing becomes a habit of their life
I fell that exams should be conducted once a term in
order to evaluate whether the students are clear with
the concepts or notThey shouldnt be pressurized for
their marksbut should be made understand their mis-
takes Let them choose their own career options on
their own Help them knowwhat they like to study and
what they want to do in their life So dont pressurize
students for what they dont likeand encourage them in
what they do After allthey are only the Rising stars of
the country

Life is magical - Piyush Sahoo VII-H
A new day or a new night
Everything in life seems bright
A new morning or a new evening
Life is full of happening
A life is just like a kite
It may disappear in a sight
Life moves from baby to old
Make your life challenging and bold
Enjoy life the fullest
Never accept less than best
Unlikely life comes to an end
But remember never to bend
Happy sadness victory and loss
Accept it the way it comes
Life can be at times tragical
But make it the most beautiful
Life is magicalhellip
Life is so magicalhellip
Humility -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
Humility is having a heart to treat others with respect
and love Considering people worthy of your love
time and efforts regardless of who they are or what
they have done A person is truly humble when they
are willing to work hard for others expecting nothing
in return
Humility has the power to change a personrsquos perspec-
tive towards life It can make a difference in the way a
person is looked upon by others Doing an act of hum-
bleness can make a personrsquos day Humility is about
not having an ego or considering things below your
dignity or considering yourself greater than others
People often confuse humility with self-respect They
canrsquot make out the difference between being useful to
others and being used by others
It takes courage to be humble
because in the era in which we
live humility is looked upon as
weakness People assume yoursquore not strong enough to
stand up for yourself They think you surrender in-
stead of protesting They will despise and scorn you
but they donrsquot know that you take pleasure in what
you do because they havenrsquot experienced that kind of
joy
So if you do have humility donrsquot draw back from it
because of what others think Whatever you are doing
is for the good of others and you have no need to be
ashamed of that Humbleness will spread from person
to person Who knows maybe your one act of humili-
ty will spread on to help a person in need So be brave
be humble
Mom -Tanvi Sawant VII-C
Oh mom I came to this beautiful world just because
of youhellip
Mom what would I do without you
Oh mom there are thorns on the way

Oh mom I canrsquot say how much yoursquore to me

always be with mehellip
Oh mom this world is incomplete
without you
Just like the sky without itrsquos bright color bluehellip
Oh mom yoursquore the candle that showed the way in the
dark

What are you waiting for
Just stand up and fight

OUR FUTURE EARTH - Hiya Purswani VIII-B
We all know the present condition of our environment
around us Inspite of advanced and modern technolo-
gy we humans are still not able to find a solution
Early humans neither they had much technology nor
they had enough intelligence but still in the early ages
the environment was clean making it the reason for
the increasing life span of humans Its a shocking
news to know that the amount of plastic bottles pro-
duced now may lead to increase in plastic pollution
and cause several death Its a great opportunity to be
as a human in this beautiful earth and so its our re-
sponsibility to make it clean In monsoon people cut
down trees to prevent accidents to occur but do we
plant trees in summer to prevent more global warm-
ing We can prevent bad things to happen but not can-
not take that much effort for good things to spread
Have you ever wondered while seeing a tap open how
many taps are left open at the same time in the whole
world It might sound unbelievable there can be a
World War III on water land and fresh air The way
we are thinking about the wastage of water may lead
us to a massive pain Itrsquos truly said by Warren Buffet
sometimes to buy things we need we have to sell
things we do not need This happens in the case of
lacking of intelligence We say every scholar is a true
genius but in my
opinion a person is
genius if he has the
ability to save and
change things in his
own way We all have the ability to save this earth
but our thoughts our ego and our greediness is stop-
ping us to think in a better way Everyone has a good
and a bad side in his life What matters is the part we
choose to act upon This is an excellent thought said
by Sirius Black in the movie Harry Potter Itrsquos time to
bring a change We always have time to do good
things all we need is hope Spreading awareness is the
best idea to bring a change If everyone stops thinking
about their economical needs and start contributing
towards the environment by planting more trees cer-
tainly there will be a beneficial change in this world
Neither do we think about the future nor care about
the present Why not be an optimist and think in a
positive way of life Our studies our needs our
knowledge will not help us in any way if we donʼt
change Its not that easy to plant a tree and care for it a
whole year if we only plant it with all our love nature
is certainly going to care for it Lastly I would like to
end with a quoterdquo Come forth in the light of things
nature will be your teacher
The Small Hours Pranjal Anil Chavan V-C
No more my little song Come back
And now of nights I lay my head on down
to watch the black
And wait the unfailing gray
Oh Sad are winter nights and slow
And sad is a song thatrsquos dumb
And sad it is to lie I know
Another dawn will come

Floods and Destruction
- Nirvi Soni IV-H
India faces occurrence of floods each year in some
parts of Assam during the rainy season Water of river
Brahmaputra rises and enters into many villages
causing great destruction Floods are unavoidable but
we need to take precautions in the following ways by
reducing mining activities building dams growing
more trees etc During floods the weather becomes
wet and gloomy Trees and plants get uprooted This
way floods cause great de-
struction to both life and
property It also becomes dif-
ficult to travel from place to
place Many people are left
homeless The rain water should be harvested and
stored in large storage tanks The harvested rainwater
can be used for washing clothes and cleaning By us-
ing rain water in our daily life we can preserve water
resources
Good Morning Everyone -Vyomi ThakkarVI - H
Come with me wersquoll have some fun
Wersquoll go on a walk
Donrsquot worry will have a great talk
Roaming around the ground
With beautiful birdrsquos sound
We donrsquot know if anything will be found
Wersquoll surely find the crown
Up on the chilled mountain
We saw a beautiful fountain
Surrounded by a beautiful castle
Decorated with the colourful tassel
Just be quiet and keen
Soon you will be the queen
Think before you speak
-Shravya Atreya IX-D
Think before you speak
There are hearts you must please
Think before you speak
You canrsquot undo the harm done after you squeak
Think before you speak
You might have done greater harm than you might
think
Think before you speak
There are still places left for you
to seek
Think before you speak
There is a long way to go before
you sleep
Think before you speak
There are hearts you must
please
Sunrise -Anuradha Singh VII-H

Everything is fine
With fading stars and rising light

GLOBAL WARMING - Adhyant Singh VII-F
Global warming refers to the steady rise in the Earthrsquos mean temperature The effect of global
warming had come into sight when polar ice caps started melting this phenomena is called ICE ndash
ALBEDO the ice caps melt faster due to the rise in the temperature This sudden rise in the temperature near
the poles began in 1999 The polar ice caps in Antarctica melt at the rate of 400000000000 tons per year ac-
cording to some scientists it would approximately take 5000 years to melt the total ice on earth In 2013 Inter-
governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) stated that the main cause of Global warming is human inter-
vention like emission of Green house gases like Carbon-Di-Oxide nitrous oxide and methane
These gases trap the heat which is reflected by the Earthrsquos surface thus increasing the temperature and also
destroying the ozone layer which prevents the ultraviolet rays of the sun from reaching the earthrsquos surface Al-
so burning fossil fuel contributes to the problem Effects of global warming have also led to the increase in the
sea level and extreme weather like heat waves and change in the regional pattern of precipitation and the ex-
pansion of desserts A concentrated and focused effort by the entire humanity can curb down the impact of
Global warming and also prevent it Planting more trees to control the amount of carbon-di-oxide eliminating
the use of chlorofluorocarbon or (CFCrsquoS) are a few steps All the countries have signed up with the United Na-
tions Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to prevent the doomsday of Earth So to prevent
earthrsquos doomsday we all must work together
Itrsquos not too late there is still timehellipBefore the earth ends and we whinehellipSo keep on marching and planting
greens To end Global Warming and Make our planet greenhellip
What will happen without Instagram

Instagram Instagram Instagram
I was hearing it from everyone
I asked who was the inventor
Nobody knew the answer to my question
Mobiles Mobiles Mobiles

I asked who was the inventor
Again nobody was aware
I wondered why was it like so
Why is it they donrsquot know
There was one time we were
engrossed in books
Now we care more about our looks
Instagram wonrsquot give you a job
You will have to study and top
Your fellow followers wonrsquot help either
If you donrsquot have a job no one will bother

The Night - Matangi Rajesh VII-D
Its the night
The moon is white
When we switch off the light
What a beautiful sight
After this comes the sun bright
There is no more artificial light
This is the time to start your diet
To go for a run wearing tights
Then comes the evening when
you have snacks light
And fly a big colorful kite
or include your sibling in a pillow fight
Again comes the night
A moon which is white
We switch off the light
A beautiful sight

Hyperloop -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
Human inventions have baffled the world They are
innumerable ranging from revolutionizing
smartphones to not-so-breathtaking ice cream cones
but they play a role in our life just the same The
things which are commonplace to us now were unbe-
knownst to people once upon a time For the people of
the 19th century the car was a thing of the future until
in 1885 Karl Benz ran his first car on the road Then
for centuries people took the prospect of of flying like
the birds as only a wild possibility which was made
possible in 1903 when the Wright Brothers flew the
first plane
What is the thing of the future for us Well we are the
future modifying and bettering the things that have
been made and crating stuff that we didnt even dare
to imagine about The Hyperloop fulfills both aspects
of the definition a very advanced model of our faith-
ful train and yet a brand new idea to scale greater
heights The Hyperloop is an ideal mode of efficient
transport Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane
with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing
speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt have to
ace the two types of friction that every other vehicle
has to face Air resistance and ground friction The
pods of the Hyperloop are propelled through a depres-
surized tub Since it is almost vacuum very little air
resistance can be offered inside the tube Due to this
the energy required to travel is also very less The Hy-
perloops unique technology uses magnetic levitation
to guide and lift the pods of the rail Since the pod is
not in contact with the ground there is no friction act-
ing on itThe first Hyperloop ndash virgin Hyperloop one
is set to run with passengers as early as 2021 and is
created by SpaceX and Tesla
The mastermind behind the Hyperloop is Elon Musk
who first published a 58 page white-paper on the web-
site of his company-Space X It was available to all
and was titled Hyperloop alpha The Hyperloop may
be the pioneer of a whole new era of transportation
traveling a distance which would otherwise take 12
hours in just I hour it has crossed all known bounda-
ries and created higher limits for us to reach and reach
we must for when time is money and money is time
an option that saves both needs to be used
Exams are good or bad -Nupoor Teli VIII
In my humble opinion exams are pressure on the stu-
dents They are forced to study and score good marks
which can lead to frustration An environment of com-
petitiveness of standing first is created for which stu-
dents keep on studying day and night without any rec-
reation It is good to study but not just for the sake of
gaining marks
Why do we study What is the main intention behind
education Seeking interesting and fascinating
knowledge as well as facts about the world But now-a
-days the main reason for studying is gaining marks
If there are no marks no career and no success This
is the mindset of 70 people of the world especially
parents They pressurize their children so much that
they get depressed or sometimes attempt suicide as
wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-
ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities
chapter test after every topic notebookfile submis-
sion etc And as cherry on top of the cake we have the
semester exams of eighty marks as well What all will
the students do And even if any extra-curricular ac-
tivities are being learnt then more extra studies Just
study study and study
Why so much of tension on the children Under this
tension only they start cheating As time passes cheat-
ing becomes a habit of their lifeI fell that exams
should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate
whether the students are clear with the concepts or
not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but
should be made understand their mistakes Let them
choose their own career options on their own Help
them know what they like to study and what they want
to do in their life So dont pressurize students for
what they dont like and encourage them in what they
do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the
country

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B
Life is all about interactions You meet people and
you interact You observe them consciously or sub-
consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us
more than we even realise Some people leave a last-
ing impression on us and entirely change the course of
life for better or for worse Some people influence us
help us go further and make all the difference
I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-
tial people They have taken care of me ever since I
came into this world They are the ones who wish the
best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-
cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel
no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-
come a part of my personality They are the ones who
helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me
to be better
When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are
the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-
takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique
learning experience It has made me realise how eve-
rything they do has a reason They are the ones who
have taught me the importance of the little things in
life They are the ones who have helped me recognize
and follow my passion The very thought of them not
being a part of my life is scary to the least as without
them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am
today and whatever I have achieved is all because of
them and I am very grateful of that
Eyesight
-Aditi Shenoy VIII-F
The tired little girl went to bed
Recollecting the days bygone
Seeing them in her dreams
As the day she was born
Trying to see the world
With her little eyes
But the sun with his brightness
Wouldnt let her catch the sights
The girl still eager
And curious to see the world around her
Again opened her eyes
But her vision was blurred
Still she did not lose hope
Which flowed through her blood
Encouraging and pushing her
To see the world further
Her heart beating fast
Her enthusiasm increasing
She slowly tried to see
With her eyes continuously blinking
Starting to lose hope
She was ready to give up
But curiosity got the upper hand
And pushed her forward
With her hope again rising
and strength in her eyesight
She is finally seeing the world
With wide open eyes

Conquering the space
-Marisha Nath VIII-C
ldquoThere is no failure in Science it is only continual
effort to conquer the unknown On the way even if we
face failure it rather adds more value to our effort for
our next journey to know the unknownrdquo
Chandrayan-2 Indiarsquos Moon Mission The dream of
entire India to land on moon and become the 4th Na-
tion in the world to put its flag on the soil of moon
after USSR USA amp China
ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launched
Chandrayan-2 on 22nd July 2019 from Bengaluru
(Satish Dhawan Space Center) under the command of
ISRO chief K Shivan It consists of ORBITER
LANDER amp Lunar Rover PRAGYAN Like Chandra-
yan-1(22nd Oct2008) it was Indiarsquos indigenous moon
mission
It touched the Moon Surface on Saturday early morn-
ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-
ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-
ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of
moon it lost contact with the ground station Because
of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be
monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m
(approx) away from its assigned location near
SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still
orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange
signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it
The ORBITER which will remain active for another
12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-
owed portion of the moon for the first time in history
with the help of its high-resolution camera
The entire Nation irrespective of their field of
knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front
of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of
VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true
Indians who always dream progress and development
of their motherland But our heart never accepts this
as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement
for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-
pose of our mission
But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at
this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring
country quoting this as a big failure on part of India
blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos
money on this
Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will
be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to
this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other
nations on such missions
Further I should say that India is not new in the field
of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-
TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975
It was named after famous scientist of ancient India
ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested
for the first time the HELIOCENTRIC THEORY
(Sun at the center and all planets revolve around the
Sun) of the Solar System much earlier than ready for
New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 57
COPERNICUS as believed in the western world
Other countries might have moon on their flags but
we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is
great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are
whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-
rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is
only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the
unknown and its continual application for the benefit
of the mankind)rdquo
Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by
various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-
PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-
cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958
onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as
46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was
attempted out of which only 21 was successful
Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-
tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the
overall attempts conducted by other Nations
USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-
NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was
planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January
SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR
successfully on moon
NASA after many attempts was successful to send
first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th
July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk
on moon
Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-
clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-
SION MANGAL for our next moon mission

channel along with that of a known criminal The alle-
gation against the judge was that he had acquired the
land not in any discretionary quota but in the open
market at the market priceAlso sometimes the media
present twisted or distorted news that may contain an
element of truth but also an element of untruth This
too should be avoided because a half-truth can be
more dangerous than a total lie The media should
avoid giving any slant to news and avoid sensational-
ism and yellow journalism Only then will they gain
the respect of the people and fulfil their true role in a
democracySome newspapers espouse the cause of
only one community
ldquoThey do not judge problems on their merits They
view problems from a communal angle Such newspa-
pers do disservice to the nation On the other hand
some responsible newspapers exercise great restraint
while reporting news about riots between two commu-
nities They never give the identity of the community
which started the riot If there are any casualties they
do not give a community-wise break up lest this
should trigger off a bigger riot
In India most of the newspapers are controlled by
business magnates Such newspapers therefore pro-
mote the interest of the capitalists by given tainted
news They pay no heed even to the genuine prob-
lems of the worker^ farmers artisans and other
weaker sections of the people
The press is the defender and the protector of the
rights and liberties of the people But it can per-
form this role only if it enjoys freedom in publish-
ing news views and reporting It can function ef-
fectively only in an open society where decisions are
made in a democratic manner The press should not be
scared of influential people The press should consider
it their duty to protect the right of the workers and oth-
er downtrodden sections of the people
While the press should enjoy freedom to perform its
role effectively it should not treat such freedom as a
licence to defame anybody It should not publish any
views or support any movement which violates our
Constitution or is against the territorial integrity and
unity of the country
To the conclusion As the worldrsquos largest democracy
India has a duty to ensure that the press has the duty to
disseminate information and express opinions without
excessive censorship Unfortunately in recent years
the right has been increasingly curbed This oppres-
sion of press is an alarming trend as it does not allow
for proper checks and balances on the government and
its activities The people of our country need to re-
member that in order to have a strong democracy they
need a strong and free press

The Aloof Humans - A curse to mother
earth - Vaijayanthimala Navneet VIII-J
With all the night strength and gust
Preserving nature is must
Mother Nature has been so lucrative
Letrsquos do something to save her
Something new and creativersquo
Let us get pollution under control
Before mother Earth weeps and implores
Let clean air sweep
Both high and deep
Let the tiny piece of land
Be clean tidy and neat
Let uncontaminated water be
So that everything doesnrsquot
end like the sea
Let the tree stand
lsquoCause it is more alluring than the seven colour band
Without being loquacious
Mother nature is indeed precious
The Little girl
- Bhumika Sharma VI-F
I found in a garage
Near the carriage
A tiny little baby girl
She had cute blue eyes
Which were very small in size
And had beautiful hair with a cute little curl
I wonder why she was there
And she came fromhellipwhere
I then asked a person passing on the road
If he knew the merciless who
kept her near the horses and
toads
The person replied ldquoWho cares
O Madamhellip
hellipFor a girl who is denied by her
dad and mum
I felt very sad and cried
But I saved her lest she died
Who will save many such girls
Imagine a world without these pearls
Treat them with respect and love
The Little Guest - Ashwathy Ganesh VI ndashD
It was rainy season
At home came a pigeon
It made its nest and was a pest
But there came another guest
Who shooed away the little pest
First there was nothing but a basket of twigs
And I watched it eating figs
When the thunder came with the rain
I got a bit scared
But it didnrsquot fly away
Because I took care
Soon there were three small
eggs
Which were taken care of by the guest
The bird is easy to guess
Because it doesnrsquot make a mess
With its red tail
It looked a bit frail
Between the plants green full full
Was the nest of the little Bulbul

The Art of Dharma as per Mahabharata
- Abhishek Singh [Teacher SrSecondary]
Dharma means the Duty or RighteousnessDharma is
subtle many times we are forced to take wrong
means for right means(and ends us like Arjuna in hell)
or reaches wrong ends following right means(like
Yudhishthira in exile)Its like the Ying and Yang
Duryodhanarsquos envy for the Pandvarsquos Indraprastha and
Yudhishthirarsquos greed or addiction to a game of dice
and win more territory was the main cause of war
The envy can result in healthy competitiveness raising
oneself up by making the envious work harder for
rivalrsquos possessions or eternal sickness to pull the rival
downThe envy and greed are both presents even in
the
modern day world the failure
of communism was caused by
envy among citizens while the
capitalist system is stranded by greed The aim of so-
ciety should not be to suppress these feelings among
its citizens but to channelize them productively Envy
is the vice of socialism Greed is the evil of capital-
ism
Dharma is not justice Its difference between Retribu-
tive Justice and forgiveness While a nation with
stronger legal laws can prefer justice over peace the
newly created or war-torn nations with weaker legal
laws should prefer to restore peace and harmony in
society rather than emphasizing justice
Beware You are in for a scare
- Ayush Lonakadi IX-C
I had returned home late but after reaching home I had
wished I had not reached home that day There was no
electricity which just made it creepier When I
reached my room my exhaustion made me forget that
I was famished I lay on the bed scrolling down pic-
tures I had recently clicked I relived happy moments
but someone out there wasnrsquot happy to see me happy
and I noticed a photograph in my phone which be-
mused me ndash not mentioning how frightened I had be-
come
The picture waswashow can I explain The back-
ground was of my house In the photoI was
sleeping Butbut how could that have been possi-
ble I lived alone there was no one to click my photo
while I was sleeping I was petrified with my eyes
wide open and my whole body was horror-struck
Then all the unwanted noises came into focus ndash the
noises from outside noises of something creaking and
the wind forcefully blowing through the thin slit of the
window eerily
I was panic-stricken I
quickly switched my
phone off and kept it on
the table beside and did
not bother about changing my clothes and covered my
face with a blanket and hugged it tightly I could not
even think of sleeping Every second the clock ticked
I hugged the blanket harder My face and chest were
drenched in sweat I felt some supernatural move-
ments around me something trying to reach out to
me
By then I was praying to God to take me away from
that place I was ready to die Then something hap-
pened and I became frantic from tip to toe lsquoIt is Tues-
day todayrsquo The virtual assistant of my phone said but
I clearly remembered that I had switched off my
phone Who asked the question It was this trauma
that I couldnrsquot bear and today I am here telling you
this story after turning into a roaming soul Look to
your right I am right beside you

Travelling Aaryan Aggarwal IX - B
Travelling is an experience It doesnrsquot matter where
you travel Every place is great in its own ways You
could go to a culturally rich yet underdeveloped place
or you could go to an advanced metropolitan place
You could travel slow paced or you could be adven-
turous and go off the beaten path You could go to the
beach you could go to a museum It wonrsquot matter as
wherever you go you will always get a new and
different experience The experiences will open your
mind to a whole new world and culture which will
change your understanding and preconceived notions
about that place You will also get an opportunity to
detoxify yourself from social media Thus I believe
that travelling is more than just a hobby and can
change your entire thought process and state of
mind
Wallflower
- Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
She lived under a rock
More by force than by will
She lived there so long
She had nothing to fight with
All these people pushing her down
Her feeble frame could fight no long
She vowed to never stop the struggle
Until she had on her temples the crown
Declaring to the world her change
after years bygone
From being the young shy girl they saw
But all this struggle slowly had her crumbling
As she withered her dreams fading
Cause promises are sometimes left undone
When fate decides to yield a gun
And the world never saw the light
Of a wallflower wishing to shine so bright
Being Myself -Nidhi Mishra VIII-G
I did never lie to myself
Never strived to be someone else
And so I never shy
To look myself straight in the eye
I did never hide myself
And lavish a priceless gift
Having lsquolifersquo as its spell
Being myself Irsquoll uplift
Life is too short
Donrsquot be someone else
A onetime offer we have got
Even more precious than a thousand jewels

Women Empowerment - Devangi Dongre VII-B
The abilities of women in making decisions educa-
tion and profession have been largely suppressed
since ages considering them inferior to men The sit-
uation is worst in underdeveloped and developing na-
tions where women in a family are not allowed to
take financial decisions or decide on matters regard-
ing their own educationWith such state of affairs it
would be a fallacy to dream about the goals of sus-
tainable development and gender equality There is an
instant need to take measures to lift the social
personal and professional
status of women bringing
them shoulder to shoulder
with men These particular
measures constitute a pro-
cess which is known as ldquoWomen Empowermentrdquo
Providing better education and employment opportu-
nities to women ensuring their better health provid-
ing justice and ensuring professional equivalence are
the few methods of women empowerment

- Aaryan Aggarwal IX-B
He looked from afar at his towering creation A re-
mote island in the Pacific Ocean seemed like a great
refuge after what had been happening on the Earth
He chose secrecy as his mission had raised many eye-
brows The plan was simple lsquoEscape and start overrsquo
Right now Moon seemed to be the most viable option
in terms of survival The research had been done
Moon was habitable So close to our abode our cos-
mic neighbor the Moon must exist for a reason It-
will not just be a secondary habitat but also be a step-
ping stone for further progress
His meticulously crafted plan was now just minutes
away from execution A team of four explorers would
first leave Earth and explore the Moon to test his hy-
pothesis Once a temporary col-
ony using genetically engi-
neered pods containing human
embryos is set up they would
further analyze the surroundings and find ways to
make it more habitable The lesser gravitational pull
which allowed for a comparatively lower escape ve-
locity made it easier to transport resources from the
Earth or the ISS Sure it would be difficult at first
Earth is unmatched but he knew it was for the greater
good of mankind It would mean more opportunities
and help us understand our place in this universe
Right now we have confined ourselves in a box and
this is the only way to leave it and unleash the won-
ders of the universe In front of his eyes it flew never
to come back

Make the Choice
-Nidhi Mishra VIII-G
My vision reflects its flaming intention
Irsquom steady upon the decision
About which Irsquoll never disclaim
Accepting the outcome never blame
To impulse refer those achieves
Itrsquos your resolve donrsquot quit
There wasnrsquot any lose that grieves
There was just a lesson in it
I turn down to immure oneself
In the decision of mine
I possess optimism in myself
And so I believe everything
will be fine
Though it may be tough
To perceive ones way to success
A dose of victory isnrsquot enough
Itrsquos always limitless
Television Pros and Cons
- Soumya Sheth
What do most of the people do these days to entertain
themselvesEveryone likes to switch ON their televi-
sion sets which is one of the exceptional inventions of
science When our Dads come home tired after office
the first thing they would like to do is switch On the
TV and relax while watching it from his sofa seat
This is because while watching different things that
are broadcasted on TV we forget our worries and re-
grets of the day
However like every good and popular inventions tel-
evision also has its set of some worrying habits that
people get hitched to For example sometimes kids
watch it for extensive time thereby affecting their
studies This is one of the most worrying habit for par-
ents and we should know that ignoring studies is not
good for our future and studying is as much important
for us at this tender age more than anything elseItrsquos
true that television can bring us the knowledge from
across the world We can see different parts of the
world virtually sitting at the same place But we
should know how
we can use this
incredible inven-
tion of science in
the right and bene-
ficial way for us Now-a-days Smart TVs have be-
come even more popular We can even use internet on
those TVs Use Google to search for answers we donrsquot
know use YouTube to understand how things are
made or get our doubts cleared and much much more
To summarize it I would like to urge all my fellow
students to use this precious invention of science in a
way that will benefit you to gain constructive
knowledge and avoid destructive knowledge We
should know that television is not the world but only a
small component of this world Please know that there
are other things in life which we should enjoy too
along with giving utmost importance to our studies

The night before the final examination
-Marisha Nath VIII- C
The night before the final examination appears to all
examinees as the night before the Battle of Waterloo
might have appeared to Napoleon or the Duke of Wel-
lington Our system of education being what it is we
examinees are bound to be anxious about the nature of
the nature of the questions we will have to answer
next day Even an earnest student who has done all
that needs be done by way of nervousness uncertainty
and suspense on the night before the examination The
morning of the examination finds them prostate with
nervous disorder
But this is one side the picture There are students
who may be described as soldiers of fortune They are
daredevil youngsters who do not take their examina-
tions seriously But their lack of preparation is more
than made up for by the short cuts or bazar notes they
have provided themselves with Even on the night
before the examina-
tion they would be
going about their
daily rounds They
may be found in the parks cafes and restaurants talk-
ing about tips ndashtalking glibly and confidently about
what questions are sure to come The morning of the
examination finds them as cheerful as they were on
the night before
What is needed most is self-confidence and a cool
head True we do not remember all that we have read
when we go to the Examination Hall This does not
mean that we have forgotten them Many things re-
main in the sub ndashconscious region They jump into
consciousness when we face the questions and seri-
ously think of the answers Often such answers score
more marks than prepared ones
Elegance
-Prajna VIII-D
Elegant you be for the universe to learn your versatility
Brighter you shine the orb will know your sustenance
The stars moons and clouds let know your dignity
Apparently it seems your flawless abundance
The ideal triumph mustnrsquot be exaggerated

Elegant you be for the universe to learn your versatility
How can you be silent if you donrsquot know your efficiency
One of the values to become successful is simplicity
Through elegance letrsquos spread positivist

Chocoland - Talreja Aastha IV-J
Once I had been to the Chocolate Land
Chocolate all around to the reach of my hand
Toffees candies lollies and bars
In my mouth a crunchy munchy war
White dark nutty and sweet
Just like a dreamy treat
Colourful wrapper shiny and bright
Which one to choose which would be right
Houses made of chocolates and doors made of bars
And out stood there a chocolate car
Soon after it was 6 oclock
And could hear the doorrsquos knock
I woke up in a hurry
Just to realise that it was a dream

The ant and the elephant
- SOUMEN RAO IV-E
Once upon a time in a forest there lived an ant and an
elephant The elephant was the biggest among all the
elephants So he was very proud of himself and used
to criticize everyone and the ant which was the tiniest
among them was very happy and cheerful It used to
help everyone I its own way
All the animals in the forest used to complain about
the egoistic elephant So one day when the ant saw the
elephant walking towards it it immediately thought of
a plan As soon as the elephant came near the ant
said ldquoHello My friendrdquo but the elephant replied rude-
ly saying ldquoYou tiny
ant Get off my way
otherwise yoursquoll get
crushed to deathrdquo
Hearing this ant
challenged the elephant sayingrdquo My big friend I can
make you cryrdquo The ant quickly climbed onto the trunk
of the elephant and ran towards its earit went inside
the ear and started biting the elephants ear The ele-
phant tried to flap its ears but in vain After a few
minutes tears started rolling down its eyes It cried
ldquoPlease come out of my ear I canrsquot bear the painrdquo As
soon as the ant came out the elephant apologized for
its mistake and didnrsquot tease any animals from that day
Grandparents
-Aditya Patil VIII-E
The best place in vacation
A heaven like destination
Their love for us is endless
All their sacrifices are worthless
Great is their surrounding divinity
In front of our ordinary identity
To your grandparents never be rude
Because they are your
coolest dude
They yell at our parents
when we are shouted
With generosity and be-
nevolence they are bounded
Be sure to always meet your grandparents once in a
while and enhance yourself by their presence

Water Conservation
- Paarth Bhagat VII-J
Water is life If there was no water there would be no
life Hence water is the precious gift of God to mother
Earth We cannot imagine our lives without water
We human beings are made up of water it is the only
transportation medium that carries the food molecules
and oxygen to the cells of every body parts to help the
blood It signifies that water is the most essential in-
gredient to the functioning of life of every organism
So you see living this wonderful life is impossible
without water
Water is the force behind all the industry agriculture
manufacturing and trade and commerce All forms of
energy generation is done using water Be it hydroe-
lectrically projects or thermal power plant or nuclear
power plant water is
the key ingredient in
all of them There
would be no power
without water No
water no life
So it is our responsibility to conserve this life nectar
It is possible only through by changing our outlook
towards this wonderful natural resource We must en-
sure there is no pollution of water bodies by dumping
any waste such as sewage effluents and other toxic
substances We must also ensure there is no emission
of green-house gases into the atmosphere The people
and the government must ensure installation of efflu-
ents and smoke treatment plants at industrial garbage
and sewage units

The kind Fairies -Aditys Patil VIII-E
This story starts with two beautiful babies in a king-
dom called fairyland The babies were very pretty
Their names were Ovi and Riddhi They were growing
pretty well As they grew they became more and
more pretty Over and over they were also fairies and
within 5 years they became young girls Their mother
told them to go to school The girls askedwhere are
the schools There are no schools here Mother said
dont worry you will go to the planet Earth On the
planet Earth there is a very good school named New
Horizon Public School and the short form is nhps We
said ok On the first day of our school we were very
afraid but after a few days we
became more smart than the
others We were getting a lot of
prizes which we shared with
eveyone in the school This
made us and others happy One day We became the
princess of fairyland Our wings were like a rainbow
We were twins and had very long hairs Now I end
my story with a beautiful quote
ALWAYS HELP EACH OTHER LIKE THE
FARIES BECAUSE HELPING PEOPLE IS THE
PATH TO GOD
The Day Irsquoll Never Forget - Saranya Sarangi VII -
It was a day of love and affection
There was no visible sign of caution
But something unfortunate was going to happen
Nobody knew where and when
There was a blast at half past three
In a beauty land called Paradise On Earth
A complete silence and pity hadnrsquot the thee
Perished laid the martyrs
Whom our motherland gave birth
I still remember that scaring sight
The scattered limbs I couldnrsquot see
My heart got filled with grief and fright
No Indian could glee
Terribly writhing the soldiers were seen
Some families languished and some
were crying
So loyal to their country they had been
None of their families were mollifying
Whatever homage to our martyrs we pay
Tiny before their they lay
Salute to their tribute to motherland
To protect us they always walked hand in hand
Little Birdie - Marisha Nath VIII-C
I am a little birdie in the sky
With two wings to fly
I never disturb you
I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom
O human Then why do you steal my FREEDOM
Binding me alone in the cage makes me sad
Donrsquot you know caging a bird is bad
Looking at the sky
I wish I could fly
I never disturb you
I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom
O human Then why do you steal my
FREEDOM

Summers in India - Saranya Sarangi VIII
A hot season beginning from April till May is what we
call summer And thatrsquos the basic rule in India But
thatrsquos not something through which we can define
summers in our country India The sun shining high
above the head increasing the heat and this scorching
heat is something very unique about summers in India
Those ice-lolly stalls roaming down the streets tin-
kling their tiny bells is something special one will nev-
er find in any other country Many people love this
season
Especially the children as they get to eat ice-creams
Many people even donrsquot As they feel that this season
can only make a person dehydrated exhausted and irri-
tated Summer as we think as an unfruitful season is
contrast in reality Schools conduct summer camps
during vacation where stu-
dents can join different aca-
demic and co-curricular
courses to improve them-
selves Many children even spend time with their fami-
lies
Often families plan trips to different places as they get
a very long vacation during this season But now-a-
days due to increasing heat these pleasant summers
are becoming unbearable Every just sweat and sweat
We get a lethargic feeling not ready to do any work
Due to this heat we continually keep the ACs on which
consume a lot of electricity creating trouble for our
mother Earth and us Gradually that charm of the
unique kind of summers will be lost if precautions are
not taken We must really hope and work hard to bring
back our lovely lsquoSummers in Indiarsquo
Exams are good or bad
- Nupoor Teli VIIIndashI
In my humble opinionexams are apressure on the stu-
dents They are forced to study and score good
markswhich can lead to frustration An environmentof
competitivenessof standing first is created for which
students keep on studying day and night without any
recreation It is good to studybut not just for the sake
of gaining marks
Why do we study What is the main intention behind
education Seeking intersresting and fascinating
knowledge as well as facts about the world But now-a
-daysthe main reason for studying is gaining marks If
there are no marksno career andno success This is the
mindset of 70 people of the worldespecially parents
They pressurize their children so much that they get
depressed or sometimes attempt suicide as well
Every two months an exam is conducted Moreo-
verthere are projectssubject-enrichment activi-
tieschapter test sfter every topicnotebookfile submis
sion etcAnd as acherry on top
of the cakewe have the semes-
ter exams of eighty marks as
well What all will the students
do And even if any extra-
curricular activities are being learntthen more extra
studies Just studystudy and study
Why so much of tension on the children Under this
tension only they start cheating As time passes cheat-
ing becomes a habit of their life
I fell that exams should be conducted once a term in
order to evaluate whether the students are clear with
the concepts or notThey shouldnt be pressurized for
their marksbut should be made understand their mis-
takes Let them choose their own career options on
their own Help them knowwhat they like to study and
what they want to do in their life So dont pressurize
students for what they dont likeand encourage them in
what they do After allthey are only the Rising stars of
the country

Life is magical - Piyush Sahoo VII-H
A new day or a new night
Everything in life seems bright
A new morning or a new evening
Life is full of happening
A life is just like a kite
It may disappear in a sight
Life moves from baby to old
Make your life challenging and bold
Enjoy life the fullest
Never accept less than best
Unlikely life comes to an end
But remember never to bend
Happy sadness victory and loss
Accept it the way it comes
Life can be at times tragical
But make it the most beautiful
Life is magicalhellip
Life is so magicalhellip
Humility -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
Humility is having a heart to treat others with respect
and love Considering people worthy of your love
time and efforts regardless of who they are or what
they have done A person is truly humble when they
are willing to work hard for others expecting nothing
in return
Humility has the power to change a personrsquos perspec-
tive towards life It can make a difference in the way a
person is looked upon by others Doing an act of hum-
bleness can make a personrsquos day Humility is about
not having an ego or considering things below your
dignity or considering yourself greater than others
People often confuse humility with self-respect They
canrsquot make out the difference between being useful to
others and being used by others
It takes courage to be humble
because in the era in which we
live humility is looked upon as
weakness People assume yoursquore not strong enough to
stand up for yourself They think you surrender in-
stead of protesting They will despise and scorn you
but they donrsquot know that you take pleasure in what
you do because they havenrsquot experienced that kind of
joy
So if you do have humility donrsquot draw back from it
because of what others think Whatever you are doing
is for the good of others and you have no need to be
ashamed of that Humbleness will spread from person
to person Who knows maybe your one act of humili-
ty will spread on to help a person in need So be brave
be humble
Mom -Tanvi Sawant VII-C
Oh mom I came to this beautiful world just because

Oh mom this world is incomplete
without you
Just like the sky without itrsquos bright color bluehellip
Oh mom yoursquore the candle that showed the way in the
dark

Make a better home for you on me

OUR FUTURE EARTH - Hiya Purswani VIII-B
We all know the present condition of our environment
around us Inspite of advanced and modern technolo-
gy we humans are still not able to find a solution
Early humans neither they had much technology nor
they had enough intelligence but still in the early ages
the environment was clean making it the reason for
the increasing life span of humans Its a shocking
news to know that the amount of plastic bottles pro-
duced now may lead to increase in plastic pollution
and cause several death Its a great opportunity to be
as a human in this beautiful earth and so its our re-
sponsibility to make it clean In monsoon people cut
down trees to prevent accidents to occur but do we
plant trees in summer to prevent more global warm-
ing We can prevent bad things to happen but not can-
not take that much effort for good things to spread
Have you ever wondered while seeing a tap open how
many taps are left open at the same time in the whole
world It might sound unbelievable there can be a
World War III on water land and fresh air The way
we are thinking about the wastage of water may lead
us to a massive pain Itrsquos truly said by Warren Buffet
sometimes to buy things we need we have to sell
things we do not need This happens in the case of
lacking of intelligence We say every scholar is a true
genius but in my
opinion a person is
genius if he has the
ability to save and
change things in his
own way We all have the ability to save this earth
but our thoughts our ego and our greediness is stop-
ping us to think in a better way Everyone has a good
and a bad side in his life What matters is the part we
choose to act upon This is an excellent thought said
by Sirius Black in the movie Harry Potter Itrsquos time to
bring a change We always have time to do good
things all we need is hope Spreading awareness is the
best idea to bring a change If everyone stops thinking
about their economical needs and start contributing
towards the environment by planting more trees cer-
tainly there will be a beneficial change in this world
Neither do we think about the future nor care about
the present Why not be an optimist and think in a
positive way of life Our studies our needs our
knowledge will not help us in any way if we donʼt
change Its not that easy to plant a tree and care for it a

The Small Hours Pranjal Anil Chavan V-C
No more my little song Come back
And now of nights I lay my head on down
to watch the black
And wait the unfailing gray
Oh Sad are winter nights and slow
And sad is a song thatrsquos dumb
And sad it is to lie I know
Another dawn will come

Floods and Destruction
- Nirvi Soni IV-H
India faces occurrence of floods each year in some
parts of Assam during the rainy season Water of river
Brahmaputra rises and enters into many villages
causing great destruction Floods are unavoidable but
we need to take precautions in the following ways by
reducing mining activities building dams growing
more trees etc During floods the weather becomes
wet and gloomy Trees and plants get uprooted This
way floods cause great de-
struction to both life and
property It also becomes dif-
ficult to travel from place to
place Many people are left
homeless The rain water should be harvested and
stored in large storage tanks The harvested rainwater
can be used for washing clothes and cleaning By us-
ing rain water in our daily life we can preserve water
resources
Good Morning Everyone -Vyomi ThakkarVI - H
Come with me wersquoll have some fun
Wersquoll go on a walk
Donrsquot worry will have a great talk
Roaming around the ground
With beautiful birdrsquos sound
We donrsquot know if anything will be found
Wersquoll surely find the crown
Up on the chilled mountain
We saw a beautiful fountain
Surrounded by a beautiful castle
Decorated with the colourful tassel
Just be quiet and keen
Soon you will be the queen
Think before you speak
-Shravya Atreya IX-D
Think before you speak
There are hearts you must please
Think before you speak
You canrsquot undo the harm done after you squeak
Think before you speak
You might have done greater harm than you might
think
Think before you speak
There are still places left for you
to seek
Think before you speak
There is a long way to go before
you sleep
Think before you speak
There are hearts you must
please
Sunrise -Anuradha Singh VII-H
Over the glimmering purple sea
Under the golden sun rise
The Island dreams under the dawn
And the message is carried by the wind that blows
across the bitter sea
A sparrow sways upon a tree
staring at his own in the
enamelled sea
Everything is fine
With fading stars and rising light

GLOBAL WARMING - Adhyant Singh VII-F
Global warming refers to the steady rise in the Earthrsquos mean temperature The effect of global
warming had come into sight when polar ice caps started melting this phenomena is called ICE ndash
ALBEDO the ice caps melt faster due to the rise in the temperature This sudden rise in the temperature near
the poles began in 1999 The polar ice caps in Antarctica melt at the rate of 400000000000 tons per year ac-
cording to some scientists it would approximately take 5000 years to melt the total ice on earth In 2013 Inter-
governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) stated that the main cause of Global warming is human inter-
vention like emission of Green house gases like Carbon-Di-Oxide nitrous oxide and methane
These gases trap the heat which is reflected by the Earthrsquos surface thus increasing the temperature and also
destroying the ozone layer which prevents the ultraviolet rays of the sun from reaching the earthrsquos surface Al-
so burning fossil fuel contributes to the problem Effects of global warming have also led to the increase in the
sea level and extreme weather like heat waves and change in the regional pattern of precipitation and the ex-
pansion of desserts A concentrated and focused effort by the entire humanity can curb down the impact of
Global warming and also prevent it Planting more trees to control the amount of carbon-di-oxide eliminating
the use of chlorofluorocarbon or (CFCrsquoS) are a few steps All the countries have signed up with the United Na-
tions Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to prevent the doomsday of Earth So to prevent
earthrsquos doomsday we all must work together
Itrsquos not too late there is still timehellipBefore the earth ends and we whinehellipSo keep on marching and planting
greens To end Global Warming and Make our planet greenhellip
What will happen without Instagram
- Kaavya Chaudhary VII-F
Instagram Instagram Instagram
I was hearing it from everyone
I asked who was the inventor
Nobody knew the answer to my question
Mobiles Mobiles Mobiles
I was able to see them everywhere
I asked who was the inventor
Again nobody was aware
I wondered why was it like so
Why is it they donrsquot know
There was one time we were
engrossed in books
Now we care more about our looks
Instagram wonrsquot give you a job
You will have to study and top
Your fellow followers wonrsquot help either
If you donrsquot have a job no one will bother
I am a tree
- Yashawini Pillai
I am a tree
With a dark green crown
And a thick strong trunk
Above the ground
I give you food
I give you fruits
I give you medicine
I give you wood
I need some sunlight
And some fresh air
I need some water
And your loving care

The Night - Matangi Rajesh VII-D
Its the night
The moon is white
When we switch off the light
What a beautiful sight
After this comes the sun bright
There is no more artificial light
This is the time to start your diet
To go for a run wearing tights
Then comes the evening when
you have snacks light
And fly a big colorful kite
or include your sibling in a pillow fight
Again comes the night
A moon which is white
We switch off the light
A beautiful sight

Hyperloop -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
Human inventions have baffled the world They are
innumerable ranging from revolutionizing
smartphones to not-so-breathtaking ice cream cones
but they play a role in our life just the same The
things which are commonplace to us now were unbe-
knownst to people once upon a time For the people of
the 19th century the car was a thing of the future until
in 1885 Karl Benz ran his first car on the road Then
for centuries people took the prospect of of flying like
the birds as only a wild possibility which was made
possible in 1903 when the Wright Brothers flew the
first plane
What is the thing of the future for us Well we are the
future modifying and bettering the things that have
been made and crating stuff that we didnt even dare
to imagine about The Hyperloop fulfills both aspects
of the definition a very advanced model of our faith-
ful train and yet a brand new idea to scale greater
heights The Hyperloop is an ideal mode of efficient
transport Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane
with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing
speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt have to
ace the two types of friction that every other vehicle
has to face Air resistance and ground friction The
pods of the Hyperloop are propelled through a depres-
surized tub Since it is almost vacuum very little air
resistance can be offered inside the tube Due to this
the energy required to travel is also very less The Hy-
perloops unique technology uses magnetic levitation
to guide and lift the pods of the rail Since the pod is
not in contact with the ground there is no friction act-
ing on itThe first Hyperloop ndash virgin Hyperloop one
is set to run with passengers as early as 2021 and is
created by SpaceX and Tesla
The mastermind behind the Hyperloop is Elon Musk
who first published a 58 page white-paper on the web-
site of his company-Space X It was available to all
and was titled Hyperloop alpha The Hyperloop may
be the pioneer of a whole new era of transportation
traveling a distance which would otherwise take 12
hours in just I hour it has crossed all known bounda-
ries and created higher limits for us to reach and reach
we must for when time is money and money is time
an option that saves both needs to be used
Exams are good or bad -Nupoor Teli VIII
In my humble opinion exams are pressure on the stu-
dents They are forced to study and score good marks
which can lead to frustration An environment of com-
petitiveness of standing first is created for which stu-
dents keep on studying day and night without any rec-
reation It is good to study but not just for the sake of
gaining marks
Why do we study What is the main intention behind
education Seeking interesting and fascinating
knowledge as well as facts about the world But now-a
-days the main reason for studying is gaining marks
If there are no marks no career and no success This
is the mindset of 70 people of the world especially
parents They pressurize their children so much that
they get depressed or sometimes attempt suicide as
wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-
ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities
chapter test after every topic notebookfile submis-
sion etc And as cherry on top of the cake we have the
semester exams of eighty marks as well What all will
the students do And even if any extra-curricular ac-
tivities are being learnt then more extra studies Just
study study and study
Why so much of tension on the children Under this
tension only they start cheating As time passes cheat-
ing becomes a habit of their lifeI fell that exams
should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate
whether the students are clear with the concepts or
not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but
should be made understand their mistakes Let them
choose their own career options on their own Help
them know what they like to study and what they want
to do in their life So dont pressurize students for
what they dont like and encourage them in what they
do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the
country

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B
Life is all about interactions You meet people and
you interact You observe them consciously or sub-
consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us
more than we even realise Some people leave a last-
ing impression on us and entirely change the course of
life for better or for worse Some people influence us
help us go further and make all the difference
I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-
tial people They have taken care of me ever since I
came into this world They are the ones who wish the
best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-
cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel
no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-
come a part of my personality They are the ones who
helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me
to be better
When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are
the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-
takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique
learning experience It has made me realise how eve-
rything they do has a reason They are the ones who
have taught me the importance of the little things in
life They are the ones who have helped me recognize
and follow my passion The very thought of them not
being a part of my life is scary to the least as without
them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am
today and whatever I have achieved is all because of
them and I am very grateful of that
Eyesight
-Aditi Shenoy VIII-F
The tired little girl went to bed
Recollecting the days bygone
Seeing them in her dreams
As the day she was born
Trying to see the world
With her little eyes
But the sun with his brightness
Wouldnt let her catch the sights
The girl still eager
And curious to see the world around her
Again opened her eyes
But her vision was blurred
Still she did not lose hope
Which flowed through her blood
Encouraging and pushing her
To see the world further
Her heart beating fast
Her enthusiasm increasing
She slowly tried to see
With her eyes continuously blinking
Starting to lose hope
She was ready to give up
But curiosity got the upper hand
And pushed her forward
With her hope again rising
and strength in her eyesight
She is finally seeing the world
With wide open eyes

Conquering the space
-Marisha Nath VIII-C
ldquoThere is no failure in Science it is only continual
effort to conquer the unknown On the way even if we
face failure it rather adds more value to our effort for
our next journey to know the unknownrdquo
Chandrayan-2 Indiarsquos Moon Mission The dream of
entire India to land on moon and become the 4th Na-
tion in the world to put its flag on the soil of moon
after USSR USA amp China
ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launched
Chandrayan-2 on 22nd July 2019 from Bengaluru
(Satish Dhawan Space Center) under the command of
ISRO chief K Shivan It consists of ORBITER
LANDER amp Lunar Rover PRAGYAN Like Chandra-
yan-1(22nd Oct2008) it was Indiarsquos indigenous moon
mission
It touched the Moon Surface on Saturday early morn-
ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-
ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-
ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of
moon it lost contact with the ground station Because
of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be
monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m
(approx) away from its assigned location near
SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still
orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange
signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it
The ORBITER which will remain active for another
12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-
owed portion of the moon for the first time in history
with the help of its high-resolution camera
The entire Nation irrespective of their field of
knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front
of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of
VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true
Indians who always dream progress and development
of their motherland But our heart never accepts this
as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement
for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-
pose of our mission
But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at
this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring
country quoting this as a big failure on part of India
blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos
money on this
Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will
be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to
this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other
nations on such missions
Further I should say that India is not new in the field
of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-
TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975
It was named after famous scientist of ancient India
ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested
for the first time the HELIOCENTRIC THEORY
(Sun at the center and all planets revolve around the
Sun) of the Solar System much earlier than ready for
New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 57
COPERNICUS as believed in the western world
Other countries might have moon on their flags but
we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is
great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are
whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-
rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is
only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the
unknown and its continual application for the benefit
of the mankind)rdquo
Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by
various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-
PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-
cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958
onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as
46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was
attempted out of which only 21 was successful
Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-
tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the
overall attempts conducted by other Nations
USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-
NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was
planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January
SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR
successfully on moon
NASA after many attempts was successful to send
first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th
July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk
on moon
Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-
clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-
SION MANGAL for our next moon mission

Our Future Earth
- Hiya Purswani VIII B
We all know the present condition of our environment
around us Inspite of advanced and modern technolo-
gy we humans are still not able to find a solution
Early humans neither they had much technology nor
they had enough intelligence but still in the early ages
the environment was clean making it the reason for
the increasing life span of humans Its a shocking
news to know that the amount of plastic bottles pro-
duced now may lead to increase in plastic pollution
and cause several death
Its a great opportunity to be as a human in this beauti-
ful earth and so itrsquos our responsibility to make it
clean In monsoon people cut down trees to prevent
accidents to occur but do we plant trees in summer to
prevent more global warming We can prevent bad
things to happen but not cannot take that much efforts
for good things to spread Have you ever wondered
while seeing a tap open how many taps are left open
at the same time in the whole world It might sound
unbelievable there can be a World War III on water
land and fresh air The way we are thinking about the
wastage of water may lead us to a massive pain I trsquos
truly said by Warren Buffet sometimes to buy things
we need we have to sell things we do not need This
happens in the case of lacking of intelligence We say
every scholar is a true genius but in my opinion a per-
son is genius if he has the ability to save and change
things in his own way We all have the ability to save
this earth but our thoughts our ego and our greedi-
ness is stopping us to think in a better way rdquoEveryone
has a good and a bad side in his life What matters is
the part we choose to act upon rdquoThis is an excellent
thought said by Sirius Black in the movie Harry Pot-
ter Itrsquos time to bring a change
We always have time to do good things all we need is
hope Spreading awareness is the best idea to bring a
change If everyone stops thinking about their eco-
nomical needs and start contributing towards the envi-
ronment by planting more trees certainly there will be
a beneficial change in this world Neither do we think
about the future nor care about the present Why not
be an optimist and think in a positive way of life Our
studies our needs our knowledge will not help us in
any way if we donrsquot change Its not that easy to plant a
tree and care for it a whole year but if we only plant it
with all our love nature is certainly going to care for
it Lastly I would like to end with a quote Come
forth in the light of things nature will be your teach-
er
Endeavor
- Heet Shripal Kankariya VII-G
It is hard to recall the past
but good thoughts are forever
Remember the step you took
May it be stupid or clever
Though the time runs out
your hope should never
Dont lose ittry and endeavor
Do your best even if the conse-
quences make your work the worst
Try and try and make your work better
It is hard to recall the past
but good thoughts are forever
Remember the step you took maybe stupid or clever

The Aloof Humans - A curse to mother
earth - Vaijayanthimala Navneet VIII-J
With all the night strength and gust
Preserving nature is must
Mother Nature has been so lucrative
Letrsquos do something to save her
Something new and creativersquo
Let us get pollution under control
Before mother Earth weeps and implores
Let clean air sweep
Both high and deep
Let the tiny piece of land
Be clean tidy and neat
Let uncontaminated water be
So that everything doesnrsquot
end like the sea
Let the tree stand
lsquoCause it is more alluring than the seven colour band
Without being loquacious
Mother nature is indeed precious
The Little girl
- Bhumika Sharma VI-F
I found in a garage
Near the carriage
A tiny little baby girl
She had cute blue eyes
Which were very small in size
And had beautiful hair with a cute little curl
I wonder why she was there
And she came fromhellipwhere
I then asked a person passing on the road
If he knew the merciless who
kept her near the horses and
toads
The person replied ldquoWho cares
O Madamhellip
hellipFor a girl who is denied by her
dad and mum
I felt very sad and cried
But I saved her lest she died
Who will save many such girls
Imagine a world without these pearls
Treat them with respect and love
The Little Guest - Ashwathy Ganesh VI ndashD
It was rainy season
At home came a pigeon
It made its nest and was a pest
But there came another guest
Who shooed away the little pest
First there was nothing but a basket of twigs
And I watched it eating figs
When the thunder came with the rain
I got a bit scared
But it didnrsquot fly away
Because I took care
Soon there were three small
eggs
Which were taken care of by the guest
The bird is easy to guess
Because it doesnrsquot make a mess
With its red tail
It looked a bit frail
Between the plants green full full
Was the nest of the little Bulbul

The Art of Dharma as per Mahabharata
- Abhishek Singh [Teacher SrSecondary]
Dharma means the Duty or RighteousnessDharma is
subtle many times we are forced to take wrong
means for right means(and ends us like Arjuna in hell)
or reaches wrong ends following right means(like
Yudhishthira in exile)Its like the Ying and Yang
Duryodhanarsquos envy for the Pandvarsquos Indraprastha and
Yudhishthirarsquos greed or addiction to a game of dice
and win more territory was the main cause of war
The envy can result in healthy competitiveness raising
oneself up by making the envious work harder for
rivalrsquos possessions or eternal sickness to pull the rival
downThe envy and greed are both presents even in
the
modern day world the failure
of communism was caused by
envy among citizens while the
capitalist system is stranded by greed The aim of so-
ciety should not be to suppress these feelings among
its citizens but to channelize them productively Envy
is the vice of socialism Greed is the evil of capital-
ism
Dharma is not justice Its difference between Retribu-
tive Justice and forgiveness While a nation with
stronger legal laws can prefer justice over peace the
newly created or war-torn nations with weaker legal
laws should prefer to restore peace and harmony in
society rather than emphasizing justice
Beware You are in for a scare
- Ayush Lonakadi IX-C
I had returned home late but after reaching home I had
wished I had not reached home that day There was no
electricity which just made it creepier When I
reached my room my exhaustion made me forget that
I was famished I lay on the bed scrolling down pic-
tures I had recently clicked I relived happy moments
but someone out there wasnrsquot happy to see me happy
and I noticed a photograph in my phone which be-
mused me ndash not mentioning how frightened I had be-
come
The picture waswashow can I explain The back-
ground was of my house In the photoI was
sleeping Butbut how could that have been possi-
ble I lived alone there was no one to click my photo
while I was sleeping I was petrified with my eyes
wide open and my whole body was horror-struck
Then all the unwanted noises came into focus ndash the
noises from outside noises of something creaking and
the wind forcefully blowing through the thin slit of the
window eerily
I was panic-stricken I
quickly switched my
phone off and kept it on
the table beside and did
not bother about changing my clothes and covered my
face with a blanket and hugged it tightly I could not
even think of sleeping Every second the clock ticked
I hugged the blanket harder My face and chest were
drenched in sweat I felt some supernatural move-
ments around me something trying to reach out to
me
By then I was praying to God to take me away from
that place I was ready to die Then something hap-
pened and I became frantic from tip to toe lsquoIt is Tues-
day todayrsquo The virtual assistant of my phone said but
I clearly remembered that I had switched off my
phone Who asked the question It was this trauma
that I couldnrsquot bear and today I am here telling you
this story after turning into a roaming soul Look to
your right I am right beside you

Travelling Aaryan Aggarwal IX - B
Travelling is an experience It doesnrsquot matter where
you travel Every place is great in its own ways You
could go to a culturally rich yet underdeveloped place
or you could go to an advanced metropolitan place
You could travel slow paced or you could be adven-
turous and go off the beaten path You could go to the
beach you could go to a museum It wonrsquot matter as
wherever you go you will always get a new and
different experience The experiences will open your
mind to a whole new world and culture which will
change your understanding and preconceived notions
about that place You will also get an opportunity to
detoxify yourself from social media Thus I believe
that travelling is more than just a hobby and can
change your entire thought process and state of
mind
Wallflower
- Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
She lived under a rock
More by force than by will
She lived there so long
She had nothing to fight with
All these people pushing her down
Her feeble frame could fight no long
She vowed to never stop the struggle
Until she had on her temples the crown
Declaring to the world her change
after years bygone
From being the young shy girl they saw
But all this struggle slowly had her crumbling
As she withered her dreams fading
Cause promises are sometimes left undone
When fate decides to yield a gun
And the world never saw the light
Of a wallflower wishing to shine so bright
Being Myself -Nidhi Mishra VIII-G
I did never lie to myself
Never strived to be someone else
And so I never shy
To look myself straight in the eye
I did never hide myself
And lavish a priceless gift
Having lsquolifersquo as its spell
Being myself Irsquoll uplift
Life is too short
Donrsquot be someone else
A onetime offer we have got
Even more precious than a thousand jewels

LunaVenture Beyond Horizons
- Aaryan Aggarwal IX-B
He looked from afar at his towering creation A re-
mote island in the Pacific Ocean seemed like a great
refuge after what had been happening on the Earth
He chose secrecy as his mission had raised many eye-
brows The plan was simple lsquoEscape and start overrsquo
Right now Moon seemed to be the most viable option
in terms of survival The research had been done
Moon was habitable So close to our abode our cos-
mic neighbor the Moon must exist for a reason It-
will not just be a secondary habitat but also be a step-
ping stone for further progress
His meticulously crafted plan was now just minutes
away from execution A team of four explorers would
first leave Earth and explore the Moon to test his hy-
pothesis Once a temporary col-
ony using genetically engi-
neered pods containing human
embryos is set up they would
further analyze the surroundings and find ways to
make it more habitable The lesser gravitational pull
which allowed for a comparatively lower escape ve-
locity made it easier to transport resources from the
Earth or the ISS Sure it would be difficult at first
Earth is unmatched but he knew it was for the greater
good of mankind It would mean more opportunities
and help us understand our place in this universe
Right now we have confined ourselves in a box and
this is the only way to leave it and unleash the won-
ders of the universe In front of his eyes it flew never
to come back

Make the Choice
-Nidhi Mishra VIII-G
My vision reflects its flaming intention
Irsquom steady upon the decision
About which Irsquoll never disclaim
Accepting the outcome never blame
To impulse refer those achieves
Itrsquos your resolve donrsquot quit
There wasnrsquot any lose that grieves
There was just a lesson in it
I turn down to immure oneself
In the decision of mine
I possess optimism in myself
And so I believe everything
will be fine
Though it may be tough
To perceive ones way to success
A dose of victory isnrsquot enough
Itrsquos always limitless
Television Pros and Cons
- Soumya Sheth
What do most of the people do these days to entertain
themselvesEveryone likes to switch ON their televi-
sion sets which is one of the exceptional inventions of
science When our Dads come home tired after office
the first thing they would like to do is switch On the
TV and relax while watching it from his sofa seat
This is because while watching different things that
are broadcasted on TV we forget our worries and re-
grets of the day
However like every good and popular inventions tel-
evision also has its set of some worrying habits that
people get hitched to For example sometimes kids
watch it for extensive time thereby affecting their
studies This is one of the most worrying habit for par-
ents and we should know that ignoring studies is not
good for our future and studying is as much important
for us at this tender age more than anything elseItrsquos
true that television can bring us the knowledge from
across the world We can see different parts of the
world virtually sitting at the same place But we
should know how
we can use this
incredible inven-
tion of science in
the right and bene-
ficial way for us Now-a-days Smart TVs have be-
come even more popular We can even use internet on
those TVs Use Google to search for answers we donrsquot
know use YouTube to understand how things are
made or get our doubts cleared and much much more
To summarize it I would like to urge all my fellow
students to use this precious invention of science in a
way that will benefit you to gain constructive
knowledge and avoid destructive knowledge We
should know that television is not the world but only a
small component of this world Please know that there
are other things in life which we should enjoy too
along with giving utmost importance to our studies

The night before the final examination
-Marisha Nath VIII- C
The night before the final examination appears to all
examinees as the night before the Battle of Waterloo
might have appeared to Napoleon or the Duke of Wel-
lington Our system of education being what it is we
examinees are bound to be anxious about the nature of
the nature of the questions we will have to answer
next day Even an earnest student who has done all
that needs be done by way of nervousness uncertainty
and suspense on the night before the examination The
morning of the examination finds them prostate with
nervous disorder
But this is one side the picture There are students
who may be described as soldiers of fortune They are
daredevil youngsters who do not take their examina-
tions seriously But their lack of preparation is more
than made up for by the short cuts or bazar notes they
have provided themselves with Even on the night
before the examina-
tion they would be
going about their
daily rounds They
may be found in the parks cafes and restaurants talk-
ing about tips ndashtalking glibly and confidently about
what questions are sure to come The morning of the
examination finds them as cheerful as they were on
the night before
What is needed most is self-confidence and a cool
head True we do not remember all that we have read
when we go to the Examination Hall This does not
mean that we have forgotten them Many things re-
main in the sub ndashconscious region They jump into
consciousness when we face the questions and seri-
ously think of the answers Often such answers score
more marks than prepared ones
Elegance
-Prajna VIII-D
Elegant you be for the universe to learn your versatility
Brighter you shine the orb will know your sustenance
The stars moons and clouds let know your dignity
Apparently it seems your flawless abundance
The ideal triumph mustnrsquot be exaggerated

Elegant you be for the universe to learn your versatility
How can you be silent if you donrsquot know your efficiency
One of the values to become successful is simplicity
Through elegance letrsquos spread positivist

Chocoland - Talreja Aastha IV-J
Once I had been to the Chocolate Land
Chocolate all around to the reach of my hand
Toffees candies lollies and bars
In my mouth a crunchy munchy war
White dark nutty and sweet
Just like a dreamy treat
Colourful wrapper shiny and bright
Which one to choose which would be right
Houses made of chocolates and doors made of bars
And out stood there a chocolate car
Soon after it was 6 oclock
And could hear the doorrsquos knock
I woke up in a hurry
Just to realise that it was a dream

The ant and the elephant
- SOUMEN RAO IV-E
Once upon a time in a forest there lived an ant and an
elephant The elephant was the biggest among all the
elephants So he was very proud of himself and used
to criticize everyone and the ant which was the tiniest
among them was very happy and cheerful It used to
help everyone I its own way
All the animals in the forest used to complain about
the egoistic elephant So one day when the ant saw the
elephant walking towards it it immediately thought of
a plan As soon as the elephant came near the ant
said ldquoHello My friendrdquo but the elephant replied rude-
ly saying ldquoYou tiny
ant Get off my way
otherwise yoursquoll get
crushed to deathrdquo
Hearing this ant
challenged the elephant sayingrdquo My big friend I can
make you cryrdquo The ant quickly climbed onto the trunk
of the elephant and ran towards its earit went inside
the ear and started biting the elephants ear The ele-
phant tried to flap its ears but in vain After a few
minutes tears started rolling down its eyes It cried
ldquoPlease come out of my ear I canrsquot bear the painrdquo As
soon as the ant came out the elephant apologized for
its mistake and didnrsquot tease any animals from that day
Grandparents
-Aditya Patil VIII-E
The best place in vacation
A heaven like destination
Their love for us is endless
All their sacrifices are worthless
Great is their surrounding divinity
In front of our ordinary identity
To your grandparents never be rude
Because they are your
coolest dude
They yell at our parents
when we are shouted
With generosity and be-
nevolence they are bounded
Be sure to always meet your grandparents once in a
while and enhance yourself by their presence

Women Empowerment
- Devangi Dongre VII-B
The abilities of women in making decisions education and profession have
been largely suppressed since ages considering them inferior to men The situa-
tion is worst in underdeveloped and developing nations where women in a fami-
ly are not allowed to take financial decisions or decide on matters regarding their own education
With such state of affairs it would be a fallacy to dream about the goals of sustainable development and gen-
der equality There is an instant need to take measures to lift the social personal and professional status of
women bringing them shoulder to shoulder with men These particular measures constitute a process which
is known as ldquoWomen Empowermentrdquo Providing better education and employment opportunities to women
ensuring their better health providing justice and ensuring professional equivalence are the few methods of
women empowerment
Water Conservation
- Paarth Bhagat VII-J
Water is life If there was no water there would be no
life Hence water is the precious gift of God to mother
Earth We cannot imagine our lives without water
We human beings are made up of water it is the only
transportation medium that carries the food molecules
and oxygen to the cells of every body parts to help the
blood It signifies that water is the most essential in-
gredient to the functioning of life of every organism
So you see living this wonderful life is impossible
without water
Water is the force behind all the industry agriculture
manufacturing and trade and commerce All forms of
energy generation is done using water Be it hydroe-
lectrically projects or thermal power plant or nuclear
power plant water is
the key ingredient in
all of them There
would be no power
without water No
water no life
So it is our responsibility to conserve this life nectar
It is possible only through by changing our outlook
towards this wonderful natural resource We must en-
sure there is no pollution of water bodies by dumping
any waste such as sewage effluents and other toxic
substances We must also ensure there is no emission
of green-house gases into the atmosphere The people
and the government must ensure installation of efflu-
ents and smoke treatment plants at industrial garbage
and sewage units

The kind Fairies -Aditys Patil VIII-E
This story starts with two beautiful babies in a king-
dom called fairyland The babies were very pretty
Their names were Ovi and Riddhi They were growing
pretty well As they grew they became more and
more pretty Over and over they were also fairies and
within 5 years they became young girls Their mother
told them to go to school The girls askedwhere are
the schools There are no schools here Mother said
dont worry you will go to the planet Earth On the
planet Earth there is a very good school named New
Horizon Public School and the short form is nhps We
said ok On the first day of our school we were very
afraid but after a few days we
became more smart than the
others We were getting a lot of
prizes which we shared with
eveyone in the school This
made us and others happy One day We became the
princess of fairyland Our wings were like a rainbow
We were twins and had very long hairs Now I end
my story with a beautiful quote
ALWAYS HELP EACH OTHER LIKE THE
FARIES BECAUSE HELPING PEOPLE IS THE
PATH TO GOD
The Day Irsquoll Never Forget - Saranya Sarangi VII -
It was a day of love and affection
There was no visible sign of caution
But something unfortunate was going to happen
Nobody knew where and when
There was a blast at half past three
In a beauty land called Paradise On Earth
A complete silence and pity hadnrsquot the thee
Perished laid the martyrs
Whom our motherland gave birth
I still remember that scaring sight
The scattered limbs I couldnrsquot see
My heart got filled with grief and fright
No Indian could glee
Terribly writhing the soldiers were seen
Some families languished and some
were crying
So loyal to their country they had been
None of their families were mollifying
Whatever homage to our martyrs we pay
Tiny before their they lay
Salute to their tribute to motherland
To protect us they always walked hand in hand
Little Birdie - Marisha Nath VIII-C
I am a little birdie in the sky
With two wings to fly
I never disturb you
I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom
O human Then why do you steal my FREEDOM
Binding me alone in the cage makes me sad
Donrsquot you know caging a bird is bad
Looking at the sky
I wish I could fly
I never disturb you
I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom
O human Then why do you steal my
FREEDOM

Summers in India - Saranya Sarangi VIII
A hot season beginning from April till May is what we
call summer And thatrsquos the basic rule in India But
thatrsquos not something through which we can define
summers in our country India The sun shining high
above the head increasing the heat and this scorching
heat is something very unique about summers in India
Those ice-lolly stalls roaming down the streets tin-
kling their tiny bells is something special one will nev-
er find in any other country Many people love this
season
Especially the children as they get to eat ice-creams
Many people even donrsquot As they feel that this season
can only make a person dehydrated exhausted and irri-
tated Summer as we think as an unfruitful season is
contrast in reality Schools conduct summer camps
during vacation where stu-
dents can join different aca-
demic and co-curricular
courses to improve them-
selves Many children even spend time with their fami-
lies
Often families plan trips to different places as they get
a very long vacation during this season But now-a-
days due to increasing heat these pleasant summers
are becoming unbearable Every just sweat and sweat
We get a lethargic feeling not ready to do any work
Due to this heat we continually keep the ACs on which
consume a lot of electricity creating trouble for our
mother Earth and us Gradually that charm of the
unique kind of summers will be lost if precautions are
not taken We must really hope and work hard to bring
back our lovely lsquoSummers in Indiarsquo
Exams are good or bad
- Nupoor Teli VIIIndashI
In my humble opinionexams are apressure on the stu-
dents They are forced to study and score good
markswhich can lead to frustration An environmentof
competitivenessof standing first is created for which
students keep on studying day and night without any
recreation It is good to studybut not just for the sake
of gaining marks
Why do we study What is the main intention behind
education Seeking intersresting and fascinating
knowledge as well as facts about the world But now-a
-daysthe main reason for studying is gaining marks If
there are no marksno career andno success This is the
mindset of 70 people of the worldespecially parents
They pressurize their children so much that they get
depressed or sometimes attempt suicide as well
Every two months an exam is conducted Moreo-
verthere are projectssubject-enrichment activi-
tieschapter test sfter every topicnotebookfile submis
sion etcAnd as acherry on top
of the cakewe have the semes-
ter exams of eighty marks as
well What all will the students
do And even if any extra-
curricular activities are being learntthen more extra
studies Just studystudy and study
Why so much of tension on the children Under this
tension only they start cheating As time passes cheat-
ing becomes a habit of their life
I fell that exams should be conducted once a term in
order to evaluate whether the students are clear with
the concepts or notThey shouldnt be pressurized for
their marksbut should be made understand their mis-
takes Let them choose their own career options on
their own Help them knowwhat they like to study and
what they want to do in their life So dont pressurize
students for what they dont likeand encourage them in
what they do After allthey are only the Rising stars of
the country

Life is magical - Piyush Sahoo VII-H
A new day or a new night
Everything in life seems bright
A new morning or a new evening
Life is full of happening
A life is just like a kite
It may disappear in a sight
Life moves from baby to old
Make your life challenging and bold
Enjoy life the fullest
Never accept less than best
Unlikely life comes to an end
But remember never to bend
Happy sadness victory and loss
Accept it the way it comes
Life can be at times tragical
But make it the most beautiful
Life is magicalhellip
Life is so magicalhellip
Humility -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
Humility is having a heart to treat others with respect
and love Considering people worthy of your love
time and efforts regardless of who they are or what
they have done A person is truly humble when they
are willing to work hard for others expecting nothing
in return
Humility has the power to change a personrsquos perspec-
tive towards life It can make a difference in the way a
person is looked upon by others Doing an act of hum-
bleness can make a personrsquos day Humility is about
not having an ego or considering things below your
dignity or considering yourself greater than others
People often confuse humility with self-respect They
canrsquot make out the difference between being useful to
others and being used by others
It takes courage to be humble
because in the era in which we
live humility is looked upon as
weakness People assume yoursquore not strong enough to
stand up for yourself They think you surrender in-
stead of protesting They will despise and scorn you
but they donrsquot know that you take pleasure in what
you do because they havenrsquot experienced that kind of
joy
So if you do have humility donrsquot draw back from it
because of what others think Whatever you are doing
is for the good of others and you have no need to be
ashamed of that Humbleness will spread from person
to person Who knows maybe your one act of humili-
ty will spread on to help a person in need So be brave
be humble
Mom -Tanvi Sawant VII-C

without you
Just like the sky without itrsquos bright color bluehellip
Oh mom yoursquore the candle that showed the way in the
dark

OUR FUTURE EARTH - Hiya Purswani VIII-B
We all know the present condition of our environment
around us Inspite of advanced and modern technolo-
gy we humans are still not able to find a solution
Early humans neither they had much technology nor
they had enough intelligence but still in the early ages
the environment was clean making it the reason for
the increasing life span of humans Its a shocking
news to know that the amount of plastic bottles pro-
duced now may lead to increase in plastic pollution
and cause several death Its a great opportunity to be
as a human in this beautiful earth and so its our re-
sponsibility to make it clean In monsoon people cut
down trees to prevent accidents to occur but do we
plant trees in summer to prevent more global warm-
ing We can prevent bad things to happen but not can-
not take that much effort for good things to spread
Have you ever wondered while seeing a tap open how
many taps are left open at the same time in the whole
world It might sound unbelievable there can be a
World War III on water land and fresh air The way
we are thinking about the wastage of water may lead
us to a massive pain Itrsquos truly said by Warren Buffet
sometimes to buy things we need we have to sell
things we do not need This happens in the case of
lacking of intelligence We say every scholar is a true
genius but in my
opinion a person is
genius if he has the
ability to save and
change things in his
own way We all have the ability to save this earth
but our thoughts our ego and our greediness is stop-
ping us to think in a better way Everyone has a good
and a bad side in his life What matters is the part we
choose to act upon This is an excellent thought said
by Sirius Black in the movie Harry Potter Itrsquos time to
bring a change We always have time to do good
things all we need is hope Spreading awareness is the
best idea to bring a change If everyone stops thinking
about their economical needs and start contributing
towards the environment by planting more trees cer-
tainly there will be a beneficial change in this world
Neither do we think about the future nor care about
the present Why not be an optimist and think in a
positive way of life Our studies our needs our
knowledge will not help us in any way if we donʼt
change Its not that easy to plant a tree and care for it a
whole year if we only plant it with all our love nature
is certainly going to care for it Lastly I would like to
end with a quoterdquo Come forth in the light of things
nature will be your teacher
The Small Hours Pranjal Anil Chavan V-C
No more my little song Come back

Floods and Destruction
- Nirvi Soni IV-H
India faces occurrence of floods each year in some
parts of Assam during the rainy season Water of river
Brahmaputra rises and enters into many villages
causing great destruction Floods are unavoidable but
we need to take precautions in the following ways by
reducing mining activities building dams growing
more trees etc During floods the weather becomes
wet and gloomy Trees and plants get uprooted This
way floods cause great de-
struction to both life and
property It also becomes dif-
ficult to travel from place to
place Many people are left
homeless The rain water should be harvested and
stored in large storage tanks The harvested rainwater
can be used for washing clothes and cleaning By us-
ing rain water in our daily life we can preserve water
resources

Surrounded by a beautiful castle
Decorated with the colourful tassel
Just be quiet and keen
Soon you will be the queen

Think before you speak
You might have done greater harm than you might

Think before you speak
There are still places left for you
to seek
Think before you speak
There is a long way to go before
you sleep
Think before you speak
There are hearts you must
please

GLOBAL WARMING - Adhyant Singh VII-F
Global warming refers to the steady rise in the Earthrsquos mean temperature The effect of global
warming had come into sight when polar ice caps started melting this phenomena is called ICE ndash
ALBEDO the ice caps melt faster due to the rise in the temperature This sudden rise in the temperature near
the poles began in 1999 The polar ice caps in Antarctica melt at the rate of 400000000000 tons per year ac-
cording to some scientists it would approximately take 5000 years to melt the total ice on earth In 2013 Inter-
governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) stated that the main cause of Global warming is human inter-
vention like emission of Green house gases like Carbon-Di-Oxide nitrous oxide and methane
These gases trap the heat which is reflected by the Earthrsquos surface thus increasing the temperature and also
destroying the ozone layer which prevents the ultraviolet rays of the sun from reaching the earthrsquos surface Al-
so burning fossil fuel contributes to the problem Effects of global warming have also led to the increase in the
sea level and extreme weather like heat waves and change in the regional pattern of precipitation and the ex-
pansion of desserts A concentrated and focused effort by the entire humanity can curb down the impact of
Global warming and also prevent it Planting more trees to control the amount of carbon-di-oxide eliminating
the use of chlorofluorocarbon or (CFCrsquoS) are a few steps All the countries have signed up with the United Na-
tions Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to prevent the doomsday of Earth So to prevent
earthrsquos doomsday we all must work together
Itrsquos not too late there is still timehellipBefore the earth ends and we whinehellipSo keep on marching and planting
greens To end Global Warming and Make our planet greenhellip

The Night - Matangi Rajesh VII-D
Its the night
The moon is white
When we switch off the light
What a beautiful sight
After this comes the sun bright
There is no more artificial light
This is the time to start your diet
To go for a run wearing tights
Then comes the evening when
you have snacks light
And fly a big colorful kite
or include your sibling in a pillow fight
Again comes the night
A moon which is white
We switch off the light
A beautiful sight

journey The Indian Space Research Organization ISRO is the Space Agency of Government of India head-
quartered in the city of Bengaluru Its vision is to ldquoharness space technology ldquofor na-
tional development while pursuing space science research and planter exploration
Some achievements of ISRO in 2017
Launching 104 satellites with one rocket
South Asia Satellite (GSAT- 9) launch
Launch of ISROrsquos Fat Boyrsquo
31 satellites in a single flight
Sending another communication satellite in the space
In 2009 Indians maiden mission to the moon Chandrayaan- 1 brought back the first clinching evidence of the
presence of water on the arched lunar surface In more down to the Earth missions Indian satellites are also
helping locate underground water aquifers for some of the poorest and marginal people of India In a way

Hyperloop -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
Human inventions have baffled the world They are
innumerable ranging from revolutionizing
smartphones to not-so-breathtaking ice cream cones
but they play a role in our life just the same The
things which are commonplace to us now were unbe-
knownst to people once upon a time For the people of
the 19th century the car was a thing of the future until
in 1885 Karl Benz ran his first car on the road Then
for centuries people took the prospect of of flying like
the birds as only a wild possibility which was made
possible in 1903 when the Wright Brothers flew the
first plane
What is the thing of the future for us Well we are the
future modifying and bettering the things that have
been made and crating stuff that we didnt even dare
to imagine about The Hyperloop fulfills both aspects
of the definition a very advanced model of our faith-
ful train and yet a brand new idea to scale greater
heights The Hyperloop is an ideal mode of efficient
transport Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane
with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing
speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt have to
ace the two types of friction that every other vehicle
has to face Air resistance and ground friction The
pods of the Hyperloop are propelled through a depres-
surized tub Since it is almost vacuum very little air
resistance can be offered inside the tube Due to this
the energy required to travel is also very less The Hy-
perloops unique technology uses magnetic levitation
to guide and lift the pods of the rail Since the pod is
not in contact with the ground there is no friction act-
ing on itThe first Hyperloop ndash virgin Hyperloop one
is set to run with passengers as early as 2021 and is
created by SpaceX and Tesla
The mastermind behind the Hyperloop is Elon Musk
who first published a 58 page white-paper on the web-
site of his company-Space X It was available to all
and was titled Hyperloop alpha The Hyperloop may
be the pioneer of a whole new era of transportation
traveling a distance which would otherwise take 12
hours in just I hour it has crossed all known bounda-
ries and created higher limits for us to reach and reach
we must for when time is money and money is time
an option that saves both needs to be used
Exams are good or bad -Nupoor Teli VIII
In my humble opinion exams are pressure on the stu-
dents They are forced to study and score good marks
which can lead to frustration An environment of com-
petitiveness of standing first is created for which stu-
dents keep on studying day and night without any rec-
reation It is good to study but not just for the sake of
gaining marks
Why do we study What is the main intention behind
education Seeking interesting and fascinating
knowledge as well as facts about the world But now-a
-days the main reason for studying is gaining marks
If there are no marks no career and no success This
is the mindset of 70 people of the world especially
parents They pressurize their children so much that
they get depressed or sometimes attempt suicide as
wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-
ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities
chapter test after every topic notebookfile submis-
sion etc And as cherry on top of the cake we have the
semester exams of eighty marks as well What all will
the students do And even if any extra-curricular ac-
tivities are being learnt then more extra studies Just
study study and study
Why so much of tension on the children Under this
tension only they start cheating As time passes cheat-
ing becomes a habit of their lifeI fell that exams
should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate
whether the students are clear with the concepts or
not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but
should be made understand their mistakes Let them
choose their own career options on their own Help
them know what they like to study and what they want
to do in their life So dont pressurize students for
what they dont like and encourage them in what they
do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the
country

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B
Life is all about interactions You meet people and
you interact You observe them consciously or sub-
consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us
more than we even realise Some people leave a last-
ing impression on us and entirely change the course of
life for better or for worse Some people influence us
help us go further and make all the difference
I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-
tial people They have taken care of me ever since I
came into this world They are the ones who wish the
best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-
cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel
no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-
come a part of my personality They are the ones who
helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me
to be better
When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are
the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-
takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique
learning experience It has made me realise how eve-
rything they do has a reason They are the ones who
have taught me the importance of the little things in
life They are the ones who have helped me recognize
and follow my passion The very thought of them not
being a part of my life is scary to the least as without
them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am
today and whatever I have achieved is all because of
them and I am very grateful of that
Eyesight
-Aditi Shenoy VIII-F
The tired little girl went to bed
Recollecting the days bygone
Seeing them in her dreams
As the day she was born
Trying to see the world
With her little eyes
But the sun with his brightness
Wouldnt let her catch the sights
The girl still eager
And curious to see the world around her
Again opened her eyes
But her vision was blurred
Still she did not lose hope
Which flowed through her blood
Encouraging and pushing her
To see the world further
Her heart beating fast
Her enthusiasm increasing
She slowly tried to see
With her eyes continuously blinking
Starting to lose hope
She was ready to give up
But curiosity got the upper hand
And pushed her forward
With her hope again rising
and strength in her eyesight
She is finally seeing the world
With wide open eyes

Conquering the space
-Marisha Nath VIII-C
ldquoThere is no failure in Science it is only continual
effort to conquer the unknown On the way even if we
face failure it rather adds more value to our effort for
our next journey to know the unknownrdquo
Chandrayan-2 Indiarsquos Moon Mission The dream of
entire India to land on moon and become the 4th Na-
tion in the world to put its flag on the soil of moon
after USSR USA amp China
ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launched
Chandrayan-2 on 22nd July 2019 from Bengaluru
(Satish Dhawan Space Center) under the command of
ISRO chief K Shivan It consists of ORBITER
LANDER amp Lunar Rover PRAGYAN Like Chandra-
yan-1(22nd Oct2008) it was Indiarsquos indigenous moon
mission
It touched the Moon Surface on Saturday early morn-
ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-
ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-
ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of
moon it lost contact with the ground station Because
of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be
monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m
(approx) away from its assigned location near
SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still
orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange
signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it
The ORBITER which will remain active for another
12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-
owed portion of the moon for the first time in history
with the help of its high-resolution camera
The entire Nation irrespective of their field of
knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front
of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of
VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true
Indians who always dream progress and development
of their motherland But our heart never accepts this
as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement
for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-
pose of our mission
But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at
this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring
country quoting this as a big failure on part of India
blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos
money on this
Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will
be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to
this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other
nations on such missions
Further I should say that India is not new in the field
of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-
TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975
It was named after famous scientist of ancient India
ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested
for the first time the HELIOCENTRIC THEORY
(Sun at the center and all planets revolve around the
Sun) of the Solar System much earlier than ready for
New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 57
COPERNICUS as believed in the western world
Other countries might have moon on their flags but
we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is
great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are
whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-
rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is
only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the
unknown and its continual application for the benefit
of the mankind)rdquo
Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by
various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-
PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-
cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958
onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as
46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was
attempted out of which only 21 was successful
Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-
tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the
overall attempts conducted by other Nations
USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-
NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was
planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January
SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR
successfully on moon
NASA after many attempts was successful to send
first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th
July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk
on moon
Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-
clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-
SION MANGAL for our next moon mission

Our Future Earth
- Hiya Purswani VIII B
We all know the present condition of our environment
around us Inspite of advanced and modern technolo-
gy we humans are still not able to find a solution
Early humans neither they had much technology nor
they had enough intelligence but still in the early ages
the environment was clean making it the reason for
the increasing life span of humans Its a shocking
news to know that the amount of plastic bottles pro-
duced now may lead to increase in plastic pollution
and cause several death
Its a great opportunity to be as a human in this beauti-
ful earth and so itrsquos our responsibility to make it
clean In monsoon people cut down trees to prevent
accidents to occur but do we plant trees in summer to
prevent more global warming We can prevent bad
things to happen but not cannot take that much efforts
for good things to spread Have you ever wondered
while seeing a tap open how many taps are left open
at the same time in the whole world It might sound
unbelievable there can be a World War III on water
land and fresh air The way we are thinking about the
wastage of water may lead us to a massive pain I trsquos
truly said by Warren Buffet sometimes to buy things
we need we have to sell things we do not need This
happens in the case of lacking of intelligence We say
every scholar is a true genius but in my opinion a per-
son is genius if he has the ability to save and change
things in his own way We all have the ability to save
this earth but our thoughts our ego and our greedi-
ness is stopping us to think in a better way rdquoEveryone
has a good and a bad side in his life What matters is
the part we choose to act upon rdquoThis is an excellent
thought said by Sirius Black in the movie Harry Pot-
ter Itrsquos time to bring a change
We always have time to do good things all we need is
hope Spreading awareness is the best idea to bring a
change If everyone stops thinking about their eco-
nomical needs and start contributing towards the envi-
ronment by planting more trees certainly there will be
a beneficial change in this world Neither do we think
about the future nor care about the present Why not
be an optimist and think in a positive way of life Our
studies our needs our knowledge will not help us in
any way if we donrsquot change Its not that easy to plant a
tree and care for it a whole year but if we only plant it
with all our love nature is certainly going to care for
it Lastly I would like to end with a quote Come
forth in the light of things nature will be your teach-
er
Endeavor
- Heet Shripal Kankariya VII-G
It is hard to recall the past
but good thoughts are forever
Remember the step you took
May it be stupid or clever
Though the time runs out
your hope should never
Dont lose ittry and endeavor
Do your best even if the conse-
quences make your work the worst
Try and try and make your work better
It is hard to recall the past
but good thoughts are forever
Remember the step you took maybe stupid or clever

The Aloof Humans - A curse to mother
earth - Vaijayanthimala Navneet VIII-J
With all the night strength and gust
Preserving nature is must
Mother Nature has been so lucrative
Letrsquos do something to save her
Something new and creativersquo
Let us get pollution under control
Before mother Earth weeps and implores
Let clean air sweep
Both high and deep
Let the tiny piece of land
Be clean tidy and neat
Let uncontaminated water be
So that everything doesnrsquot
end like the sea
Let the tree stand
lsquoCause it is more alluring than the seven colour band
Without being loquacious
Mother nature is indeed precious
The Little girl
- Bhumika Sharma VI-F
I found in a garage
Near the carriage
A tiny little baby girl
She had cute blue eyes
Which were very small in size
And had beautiful hair with a cute little curl
I wonder why she was there
And she came fromhellipwhere
I then asked a person passing on the road
If he knew the merciless who
kept her near the horses and
toads
The person replied ldquoWho cares
O Madamhellip
hellipFor a girl who is denied by her
dad and mum
I felt very sad and cried
But I saved her lest she died
Who will save many such girls
Imagine a world without these pearls
Treat them with respect and love
The Little Guest - Ashwathy Ganesh VI ndashD
It was rainy season
At home came a pigeon
It made its nest and was a pest
But there came another guest
Who shooed away the little pest
First there was nothing but a basket of twigs
And I watched it eating figs
When the thunder came with the rain
I got a bit scared
But it didnrsquot fly away
Because I took care
Soon there were three small
eggs
Which were taken care of by the guest
The bird is easy to guess
Because it doesnrsquot make a mess
With its red tail
It looked a bit frail
Between the plants green full full
Was the nest of the little Bulbul

The Art of Dharma as per Mahabharata
- Abhishek Singh [Teacher SrSecondary]
Dharma means the Duty or RighteousnessDharma is
subtle many times we are forced to take wrong
means for right means(and ends us like Arjuna in hell)
or reaches wrong ends following right means(like
Yudhishthira in exile)Its like the Ying and Yang
Duryodhanarsquos envy for the Pandvarsquos Indraprastha and
Yudhishthirarsquos greed or addiction to a game of dice
and win more territory was the main cause of war
The envy can result in healthy competitiveness raising
oneself up by making the envious work harder for
rivalrsquos possessions or eternal sickness to pull the rival
downThe envy and greed are both presents even in
the
modern day world the failure
of communism was caused by
envy among citizens while the
capitalist system is stranded by greed The aim of so-
ciety should not be to suppress these feelings among
its citizens but to channelize them productively Envy
is the vice of socialism Greed is the evil of capital-
ism
Dharma is not justice Its difference between Retribu-
tive Justice and forgiveness While a nation with
stronger legal laws can prefer justice over peace the
newly created or war-torn nations with weaker legal
laws should prefer to restore peace and harmony in
society rather than emphasizing justice
Beware You are in for a scare
- Ayush Lonakadi IX-C
I had returned home late but after reaching home I had
wished I had not reached home that day There was no
electricity which just made it creepier When I
reached my room my exhaustion made me forget that
I was famished I lay on the bed scrolling down pic-
tures I had recently clicked I relived happy moments
but someone out there wasnrsquot happy to see me happy
and I noticed a photograph in my phone which be-
mused me ndash not mentioning how frightened I had be-
come
The picture waswashow can I explain The back-
ground was of my house In the photoI was
sleeping Butbut how could that have been possi-
ble I lived alone there was no one to click my photo
while I was sleeping I was petrified with my eyes
wide open and my whole body was horror-struck
Then all the unwanted noises came into focus ndash the
noises from outside noises of something creaking and
the wind forcefully blowing through the thin slit of the
window eerily
I was panic-stricken I
quickly switched my
phone off and kept it on
the table beside and did
not bother about changing my clothes and covered my
face with a blanket and hugged it tightly I could not
even think of sleeping Every second the clock ticked
I hugged the blanket harder My face and chest were
drenched in sweat I felt some supernatural move-
ments around me something trying to reach out to
me
By then I was praying to God to take me away from
that place I was ready to die Then something hap-
pened and I became frantic from tip to toe lsquoIt is Tues-
day todayrsquo The virtual assistant of my phone said but
I clearly remembered that I had switched off my
phone Who asked the question It was this trauma
that I couldnrsquot bear and today I am here telling you
this story after turning into a roaming soul Look to
your right I am right beside you

Travelling Aaryan Aggarwal IX - B
Travelling is an experience It doesnrsquot matter where
you travel Every place is great in its own ways You
could go to a culturally rich yet underdeveloped place
or you could go to an advanced metropolitan place
You could travel slow paced or you could be adven-
turous and go off the beaten path You could go to the
beach you could go to a museum It wonrsquot matter as
wherever you go you will always get a new and
different experience The experiences will open your
mind to a whole new world and culture which will
change your understanding and preconceived notions
about that place You will also get an opportunity to
detoxify yourself from social media Thus I believe
that travelling is more than just a hobby and can
change your entire thought process and state of
mind
Wallflower
- Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
She lived under a rock
More by force than by will
She lived there so long
She had nothing to fight with
All these people pushing her down
Her feeble frame could fight no long
She vowed to never stop the struggle
Until she had on her temples the crown
Declaring to the world her change
after years bygone
From being the young shy girl they saw
But all this struggle slowly had her crumbling
As she withered her dreams fading
Cause promises are sometimes left undone
When fate decides to yield a gun
And the world never saw the light
Of a wallflower wishing to shine so bright
Being Myself -Nidhi Mishra VIII-G
I did never lie to myself
Never strived to be someone else
And so I never shy
To look myself straight in the eye
I did never hide myself
And lavish a priceless gift
Having lsquolifersquo as its spell
Being myself Irsquoll uplift
Life is too short
Donrsquot be someone else
A onetime offer we have got
Even more precious than a thousand jewels

Women Empowerment - Devangi Dongre VII-B
The abilities of women in making decisions educa-
tion and profession have been largely suppressed
since ages considering them inferior to men The sit-
uation is worst in underdeveloped and developing na-
tions where women in a family are not allowed to
take financial decisions or decide on matters regard-
ing their own educationWith such state of affairs it
would be a fallacy to dream about the goals of sus-
tainable development and gender equality There is an
instant need to take measures to lift the social
personal and professional
status of women bringing
them shoulder to shoulder
with men These particular
measures constitute a pro-
cess which is known as ldquoWomen Empowermentrdquo
Providing better education and employment opportu-
nities to women ensuring their better health provid-
ing justice and ensuring professional equivalence are
the few methods of women empowerment

LunaVenture Beyond Horizons
- Aaryan Aggarwal IX-B
He looked from afar at his towering creation A re-
mote island in the Pacific Ocean seemed like a great
refuge after what had been happening on the Earth
He chose secrecy as his mission had raised many eye-
brows The plan was simple lsquoEscape and start overrsquo
Right now Moon seemed to be the most viable option
in terms of survival The research had been done
Moon was habitable So close to our abode our cos-
mic neighbor the Moon must exist for a reason It-
will not just be a secondary habitat but also be a step-
ping stone for further progress
His meticulously crafted plan was now just minutes
away from execution A team of four explorers would
first leave Earth and explore the Moon to test his hy-
pothesis Once a temporary col-
ony using genetically engi-
neered pods containing human
embryos is set up they would
further analyze the surroundings and find ways to
make it more habitable The lesser gravitational pull
which allowed for a comparatively lower escape ve-
locity made it easier to transport resources from the
Earth or the ISS Sure it would be difficult at first
Earth is unmatched but he knew it was for the greater
good of mankind It would mean more opportunities
and help us understand our place in this universe
Right now we have confined ourselves in a box and
this is the only way to leave it and unleash the won-
ders of the universe In front of his eyes it flew never
to come back

Make the Choice
-Nidhi Mishra VIII-G
My vision reflects its flaming intention
Irsquom steady upon the decision
About which Irsquoll never disclaim
Accepting the outcome never blame
To impulse refer those achieves
Itrsquos your resolve donrsquot quit
There wasnrsquot any lose that grieves
There was just a lesson in it
I turn down to immure oneself
In the decision of mine
I possess optimism in myself
And so I believe everything
will be fine
Though it may be tough
To perceive ones way to success
A dose of victory isnrsquot enough
Itrsquos always limitless
Television Pros and Cons
- Soumya Sheth
What do most of the people do these days to entertain
themselvesEveryone likes to switch ON their televi-
sion sets which is one of the exceptional inventions of
science When our Dads come home tired after office
the first thing they would like to do is switch On the
TV and relax while watching it from his sofa seat
This is because while watching different things that
are broadcasted on TV we forget our worries and re-
grets of the day
However like every good and popular inventions tel-
evision also has its set of some worrying habits that
people get hitched to For example sometimes kids
watch it for extensive time thereby affecting their
studies This is one of the most worrying habit for par-
ents and we should know that ignoring studies is not
good for our future and studying is as much important
for us at this tender age more than anything elseItrsquos
true that television can bring us the knowledge from
across the world We can see different parts of the
world virtually sitting at the same place But we
should know how
we can use this
incredible inven-
tion of science in
the right and bene-
ficial way for us Now-a-days Smart TVs have be-
come even more popular We can even use internet on
those TVs Use Google to search for answers we donrsquot
know use YouTube to understand how things are
made or get our doubts cleared and much much more
To summarize it I would like to urge all my fellow
students to use this precious invention of science in a
way that will benefit you to gain constructive
knowledge and avoid destructive knowledge We
should know that television is not the world but only a
small component of this world Please know that there
are other things in life which we should enjoy too
along with giving utmost importance to our studies

The night before the final examination
-Marisha Nath VIII- C
The night before the final examination appears to all
examinees as the night before the Battle of Waterloo
might have appeared to Napoleon or the Duke of Wel-
lington Our system of education being what it is we
examinees are bound to be anxious about the nature of
the nature of the questions we will have to answer
next day Even an earnest student who has done all
that needs be done by way of nervousness uncertainty
and suspense on the night before the examination The
morning of the examination finds them prostate with
nervous disorder
But this is one side the picture There are students
who may be described as soldiers of fortune They are
daredevil youngsters who do not take their examina-
tions seriously But their lack of preparation is more
than made up for by the short cuts or bazar notes they
have provided themselves with Even on the night
before the examina-
tion they would be
going about their
daily rounds They
may be found in the parks cafes and restaurants talk-
ing about tips ndashtalking glibly and confidently about
what questions are sure to come The morning of the
examination finds them as cheerful as they were on
the night before
What is needed most is self-confidence and a cool
head True we do not remember all that we have read
when we go to the Examination Hall This does not
mean that we have forgotten them Many things re-
main in the sub ndashconscious region They jump into
consciousness when we face the questions and seri-
ously think of the answers Often such answers score
more marks than prepared ones
Elegance
-Prajna VIII-D
Elegant you be for the universe to learn your versatility
Brighter you shine the orb will know your sustenance
The stars moons and clouds let know your dignity
Apparently it seems your flawless abundance
The ideal triumph mustnrsquot be exaggerated
Till you salve someonersquos hurt
Elegant you be for the universe to learn your versatility
How can you be silent if you donrsquot know your efficiency
One of the values to become successful is simplicity
Through elegance letrsquos spread positivist

Chocoland - Talreja Aastha IV-J
Once I had been to the Chocolate Land
Chocolate all around to the reach of my hand
Toffees candies lollies and bars
In my mouth a crunchy munchy war
White dark nutty and sweet
Just like a dreamy treat
Colourful wrapper shiny and bright
Which one to choose which would be right
Houses made of chocolates and doors made of bars
And out stood there a chocolate car
Soon after it was 6 oclock
And could hear the doorrsquos knock
I woke up in a hurry
Just to realise that it was a dream

The ant and the elephant
- SOUMEN RAO IV-E
Once upon a time in a forest there lived an ant and an
elephant The elephant was the biggest among all the
elephants So he was very proud of himself and used
to criticize everyone and the ant which was the tiniest
among them was very happy and cheerful It used to
help everyone I its own way
All the animals in the forest used to complain about
the egoistic elephant So one day when the ant saw the
elephant walking towards it it immediately thought of
a plan As soon as the elephant came near the ant
said ldquoHello My friendrdquo but the elephant replied rude-
ly saying ldquoYou tiny
ant Get off my way
otherwise yoursquoll get
crushed to deathrdquo
Hearing this ant
challenged the elephant sayingrdquo My big friend I can
make you cryrdquo The ant quickly climbed onto the trunk
of the elephant and ran towards its earit went inside
the ear and started biting the elephants ear The ele-
phant tried to flap its ears but in vain After a few
minutes tears started rolling down its eyes It cried
ldquoPlease come out of my ear I canrsquot bear the painrdquo As
soon as the ant came out the elephant apologized for
its mistake and didnrsquot tease any animals from that day
Grandparents
-Aditya Patil VIII-E
The best place in vacation
A heaven like destination
Their love for us is endless
All their sacrifices are worthless
Great is their surrounding divinity
In front of our ordinary identity
To your grandparents never be rude
Because they are your
coolest dude
They yell at our parents
when we are shouted
With generosity and be-
nevolence they are bounded
Be sure to always meet your grandparents once in a
while and enhance yourself by their presence

Women Empowerment
- Devangi Dongre VII-B
The abilities of women in making decisions education and profession have
been largely suppressed since ages considering them inferior to men The situa-
tion is worst in underdeveloped and developing nations where women in a fami-
ly are not allowed to take financial decisions or decide on matters regarding their own education
With such state of affairs it would be a fallacy to dream about the goals of sustainable development and gen-
der equality There is an instant need to take measures to lift the social personal and professional status of
women bringing them shoulder to shoulder with men These particular measures constitute a process which
is known as ldquoWomen Empowermentrdquo Providing better education and employment opportunities to women
ensuring their better health providing justice and ensuring professional equivalence are the few methods of
women empowerment
Water Conservation
- Paarth Bhagat VII-J
Water is life If there was no water there would be no
life Hence water is the precious gift of God to mother
Earth We cannot imagine our lives without water
We human beings are made up of water it is the only
transportation medium that carries the food molecules
and oxygen to the cells of every body parts to help the
blood It signifies that water is the most essential in-
gredient to the functioning of life of every organism
So you see living this wonderful life is impossible
without water
Water is the force behind all the industry agriculture
manufacturing and trade and commerce All forms of
energy generation is done using water Be it hydroe-
lectrically projects or thermal power plant or nuclear
power plant water is
the key ingredient in
all of them There
would be no power
without water No
water no life
So it is our responsibility to conserve this life nectar
It is possible only through by changing our outlook
towards this wonderful natural resource We must en-
sure there is no pollution of water bodies by dumping
any waste such as sewage effluents and other toxic
substances We must also ensure there is no emission
of green-house gases into the atmosphere The people
and the government must ensure installation of efflu-
ents and smoke treatment plants at industrial garbage
and sewage units

The kind Fairies -Aditys Patil VIII-E
This story starts with two beautiful babies in a king-
dom called fairyland The babies were very pretty
Their names were Ovi and Riddhi They were growing
pretty well As they grew they became more and
more pretty Over and over they were also fairies and
within 5 years they became young girls Their mother
told them to go to school The girls askedwhere are
the schools There are no schools here Mother said
dont worry you will go to the planet Earth On the
planet Earth there is a very good school named New
Horizon Public School and the short form is nhps We
said ok On the first day of our school we were very
afraid but after a few days we
became more smart than the
others We were getting a lot of
prizes which we shared with
eveyone in the school This
made us and others happy One day We became the
princess of fairyland Our wings were like a rainbow
We were twins and had very long hairs Now I end
my story with a beautiful quote
ALWAYS HELP EACH OTHER LIKE THE
FARIES BECAUSE HELPING PEOPLE IS THE
PATH TO GOD
The Day Irsquoll Never Forget - Saranya Sarangi VII -
It was a day of love and affection
There was no visible sign of caution
But something unfortunate was going to happen
Nobody knew where and when
There was a blast at half past three
In a beauty land called Paradise On Earth
A complete silence and pity hadnrsquot the thee
Perished laid the martyrs
Whom our motherland gave birth
I still remember that scaring sight
The scattered limbs I couldnrsquot see
My heart got filled with grief and fright
No Indian could glee
Terribly writhing the soldiers were seen
Some families languished and some
were crying
So loyal to their country they had been
None of their families were mollifying
Whatever homage to our martyrs we pay
Tiny before their they lay
Salute to their tribute to motherland
To protect us they always walked hand in hand
Little Birdie - Marisha Nath VIII-C
I am a little birdie in the sky
With two wings to fly
I never disturb you
I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom
O human Then why do you steal my FREEDOM
Binding me alone in the cage makes me sad
Donrsquot you know caging a bird is bad
Looking at the sky
I wish I could fly
I never disturb you
I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom
O human Then why do you steal my
FREEDOM

Summers in India - Saranya Sarangi VIII
A hot season beginning from April till May is what we
call summer And thatrsquos the basic rule in India But
thatrsquos not something through which we can define
summers in our country India The sun shining high
above the head increasing the heat and this scorching
heat is something very unique about summers in India
Those ice-lolly stalls roaming down the streets tin-
kling their tiny bells is something special one will nev-
er find in any other country Many people love this
season
Especially the children as they get to eat ice-creams
Many people even donrsquot As they feel that this season
can only make a person dehydrated exhausted and irri-
tated Summer as we think as an unfruitful season is
contrast in reality Schools conduct summer camps
during vacation where stu-
dents can join different aca-
demic and co-curricular
courses to improve them-
selves Many children even spend time with their fami-
lies
Often families plan trips to different places as they get
a very long vacation during this season But now-a-
days due to increasing heat these pleasant summers
are becoming unbearable Every just sweat and sweat
We get a lethargic feeling not ready to do any work
Due to this heat we continually keep the ACs on which
consume a lot of electricity creating trouble for our
mother Earth and us Gradually that charm of the
unique kind of summers will be lost if precautions are
not taken We must really hope and work hard to bring
back our lovely lsquoSummers in Indiarsquo
Exams are good or bad
- Nupoor Teli VIIIndashI
In my humble opinionexams are apressure on the stu-
dents They are forced to study and score good
markswhich can lead to frustration An environmentof
competitivenessof standing first is created for which
students keep on studying day and night without any
recreation It is good to studybut not just for the sake
of gaining marks
Why do we study What is the main intention behind
education Seeking intersresting and fascinating
knowledge as well as facts about the world But now-a
-daysthe main reason for studying is gaining marks If
there are no marksno career andno success This is the
mindset of 70 people of the worldespecially parents
They pressurize their children so much that they get
depressed or sometimes attempt suicide as well
Every two months an exam is conducted Moreo-
verthere are projectssubject-enrichment activi-
tieschapter test sfter every topicnotebookfile submis
sion etcAnd as acherry on top
of the cakewe have the semes-
ter exams of eighty marks as
well What all will the students
do And even if any extra-
curricular activities are being learntthen more extra
studies Just studystudy and study
Why so much of tension on the children Under this
tension only they start cheating As time passes cheat-
ing becomes a habit of their life
I fell that exams should be conducted once a term in
order to evaluate whether the students are clear with
the concepts or notThey shouldnt be pressurized for
their marksbut should be made understand their mis-
takes Let them choose their own career options on
their own Help them knowwhat they like to study and
what they want to do in their life So dont pressurize
students for what they dont likeand encourage them in
what they do After allthey are only the Rising stars of
the country

Life is magical - Piyush Sahoo VII-H
A new day or a new night
Everything in life seems bright
A new morning or a new evening
Life is full of happening
A life is just like a kite
It may disappear in a sight
Life moves from baby to old
Make your life challenging and bold
Enjoy life the fullest
Never accept less than best
Unlikely life comes to an end
But remember never to bend
Happy sadness victory and loss
Accept it the way it comes
Life can be at times tragical
But make it the most beautiful
Life is magicalhellip
Life is so magicalhellip
Humility -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
Humility is having a heart to treat others with respect
and love Considering people worthy of your love
time and efforts regardless of who they are or what
they have done A person is truly humble when they
are willing to work hard for others expecting nothing
in return
Humility has the power to change a personrsquos perspec-
tive towards life It can make a difference in the way a
person is looked upon by others Doing an act of hum-
bleness can make a personrsquos day Humility is about
not having an ego or considering things below your
dignity or considering yourself greater than others
People often confuse humility with self-respect They
canrsquot make out the difference between being useful to
others and being used by others
It takes courage to be humble
because in the era in which we
live humility is looked upon as
weakness People assume yoursquore not strong enough to
stand up for yourself They think you surrender in-
stead of protesting They will despise and scorn you
but they donrsquot know that you take pleasure in what
you do because they havenrsquot experienced that kind of
joy
So if you do have humility donrsquot draw back from it
because of what others think Whatever you are doing
is for the good of others and you have no need to be
ashamed of that Humbleness will spread from person
to person Who knows maybe your one act of humili-
ty will spread on to help a person in need So be brave
be humble
Mom -Tanvi Sawant VII-C
Oh mom I came to this beautiful world just because
of youhellip
Mom what would I do without you
Oh mom there are thorns on the way
But you manage to get me awayhellip
Oh mom I canrsquot say how much yoursquore to me
Mom just promise me that yoursquoll and
always be with mehellip
Oh mom this world is incomplete
without you
Just like the sky without itrsquos bright color bluehellip
Oh mom yoursquore the candle that showed the way in the
dark
My dear mom you made my life spark

OUR FUTURE EARTH - Hiya Purswani VIII-B
We all know the present condition of our environment
around us Inspite of advanced and modern technolo-
gy we humans are still not able to find a solution
Early humans neither they had much technology nor
they had enough intelligence but still in the early ages
the environment was clean making it the reason for
the increasing life span of humans Its a shocking
news to know that the amount of plastic bottles pro-
duced now may lead to increase in plastic pollution
and cause several death Its a great opportunity to be
as a human in this beautiful earth and so its our re-
sponsibility to make it clean In monsoon people cut
down trees to prevent accidents to occur but do we
plant trees in summer to prevent more global warm-
ing We can prevent bad things to happen but not can-
not take that much effort for good things to spread
Have you ever wondered while seeing a tap open how
many taps are left open at the same time in the whole
world It might sound unbelievable there can be a
World War III on water land and fresh air The way
we are thinking about the wastage of water may lead
us to a massive pain Itrsquos truly said by Warren Buffet
sometimes to buy things we need we have to sell
things we do not need This happens in the case of
lacking of intelligence We say every scholar is a true
genius but in my
opinion a person is
genius if he has the
ability to save and
change things in his
own way We all have the ability to save this earth
but our thoughts our ego and our greediness is stop-
ping us to think in a better way Everyone has a good
and a bad side in his life What matters is the part we
choose to act upon This is an excellent thought said
by Sirius Black in the movie Harry Potter Itrsquos time to
bring a change We always have time to do good
things all we need is hope Spreading awareness is the
best idea to bring a change If everyone stops thinking
about their economical needs and start contributing
towards the environment by planting more trees cer-
tainly there will be a beneficial change in this world
Neither do we think about the future nor care about
the present Why not be an optimist and think in a
positive way of life Our studies our needs our
knowledge will not help us in any way if we donʼt
change Its not that easy to plant a tree and care for it a
whole year if we only plant it with all our love nature
is certainly going to care for it Lastly I would like to
end with a quoterdquo Come forth in the light of things
nature will be your teacher
The Small Hours Pranjal Anil Chavan V-C
No more my little song Come back
And now of nights I lay my head on down
to watch the black
And wait the unfailing gray
Oh Sad are winter nights and slow
And sad is a song thatrsquos dumb
And sad it is to lie I know
Another dawn will come

Floods and Destruction
- Nirvi Soni IV-H
India faces occurrence of floods each year in some
parts of Assam during the rainy season Water of river
Brahmaputra rises and enters into many villages
causing great destruction Floods are unavoidable but
we need to take precautions in the following ways by
reducing mining activities building dams growing
more trees etc During floods the weather becomes
wet and gloomy Trees and plants get uprooted This
way floods cause great de-
struction to both life and
property It also becomes dif-
ficult to travel from place to
place Many people are left
homeless The rain water should be harvested and
stored in large storage tanks The harvested rainwater
can be used for washing clothes and cleaning By us-
ing rain water in our daily life we can preserve water
resources
Good Morning Everyone -Vyomi ThakkarVI - H
Come with me wersquoll have some fun
Wersquoll go on a walk

Roaming around the ground
With beautiful birdrsquos sound
We donrsquot know if anything will be found
Wersquoll surely find the crown
Up on the chilled mountain
We saw a beautiful fountain
Surrounded by a beautiful castle
Decorated with the colourful tassel
Just be quiet and keen
Soon you will be the queen
Think before you speak
-Shravya Atreya IX-D
Think before you speak
There are hearts you must please
Think before you speak
You canrsquot undo the harm done after you squeak
Think before you speak
You might have done greater harm than you might
think
Think before you speak
There are still places left for you
to seek
Think before you speak
There is a long way to go before
you sleep
Think before you speak
There are hearts you must
please

GLOBAL WARMING - Adhyant Singh VII-F
Global warming refers to the steady rise in the Earthrsquos mean temperature The effect of global
warming had come into sight when polar ice caps started melting this phenomena is called ICE ndash
ALBEDO the ice caps melt faster due to the rise in the temperature This sudden rise in the temperature near
the poles began in 1999 The polar ice caps in Antarctica melt at the rate of 400000000000 tons per year ac-
cording to some scientists it would approximately take 5000 years to melt the total ice on earth In 2013 Inter-
governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) stated that the main cause of Global warming is human inter-
vention like emission of Green house gases like Carbon-Di-Oxide nitrous oxide and methane
These gases trap the heat which is reflected by the Earthrsquos surface thus increasing the temperature and also
destroying the ozone layer which prevents the ultraviolet rays of the sun from reaching the earthrsquos surface Al-
so burning fossil fuel contributes to the problem Effects of global warming have also led to the increase in the
sea level and extreme weather like heat waves and change in the regional pattern of precipitation and the ex-
pansion of desserts A concentrated and focused effort by the entire humanity can curb down the impact of
Global warming and also prevent it Planting more trees to control the amount of carbon-di-oxide eliminating
the use of chlorofluorocarbon or (CFCrsquoS) are a few steps All the countries have signed up with the United Na-
tions Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to prevent the doomsday of Earth So to prevent
earthrsquos doomsday we all must work together
Itrsquos not too late there is still timehellipBefore the earth ends and we whinehellipSo keep on marching and planting
greens To end Global Warming and Make our planet greenhellip

The Night - Matangi Rajesh VII-D
Its the night
The moon is white
When we switch off the light
What a beautiful sight
After this comes the sun bright
There is no more artificial light
This is the time to start your diet
To go for a run wearing tights
Then comes the evening when
you have snacks light
And fly a big colorful kite
or include your sibling in a pillow fight
Again comes the night
A moon which is white
We switch off the light
A beautiful sight

Hyperloop -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
Human inventions have baffled the world They are
innumerable ranging from revolutionizing
smartphones to not-so-breathtaking ice cream cones
but they play a role in our life just the same The
things which are commonplace to us now were unbe-
knownst to people once upon a time For the people of
the 19th century the car was a thing of the future until
in 1885 Karl Benz ran his first car on the road Then
for centuries people took the prospect of of flying like
the birds as only a wild possibility which was made
possible in 1903 when the Wright Brothers flew the
first plane
What is the thing of the future for us Well we are the
future modifying and bettering the things that have
been made and crating stuff that we didnt even dare
to imagine about The Hyperloop fulfills both aspects
of the definition a very advanced model of our faith-
ful train and yet a brand new idea to scale greater
heights The Hyperloop is an ideal mode of efficient
transport Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane
with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing
speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt have to
ace the two types of friction that every other vehicle
has to face Air resistance and ground friction The
pods of the Hyperloop are propelled through a depres-
surized tub Since it is almost vacuum very little air
resistance can be offered inside the tube Due to this
the energy required to travel is also very less The Hy-
perloops unique technology uses magnetic levitation
to guide and lift the pods of the rail Since the pod is
not in contact with the ground there is no friction act-
ing on itThe first Hyperloop ndash virgin Hyperloop one
is set to run with passengers as early as 2021 and is
created by SpaceX and Tesla
The mastermind behind the Hyperloop is Elon Musk
who first published a 58 page white-paper on the web-
site of his company-Space X It was available to all
and was titled Hyperloop alpha The Hyperloop may
be the pioneer of a whole new era of transportation
traveling a distance which would otherwise take 12
hours in just I hour it has crossed all known bounda-
ries and created higher limits for us to reach and reach
we must for when time is money and money is time
an option that saves both needs to be used
Exams are good or bad -Nupoor Teli VIII
In my humble opinion exams are pressure on the stu-
dents They are forced to study and score good marks
which can lead to frustration An environment of com-
petitiveness of standing first is created for which stu-
dents keep on studying day and night without any rec-
reation It is good to study but not just for the sake of
gaining marks
Why do we study What is the main intention behind
education Seeking interesting and fascinating
knowledge as well as facts about the world But now-a
-days the main reason for studying is gaining marks
If there are no marks no career and no success This
is the mindset of 70 people of the world especially
parents They pressurize their children so much that
they get depressed or sometimes attempt suicide as
wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-
ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities
chapter test after every topic notebookfile submis-
sion etc And as cherry on top of the cake we have the
semester exams of eighty marks as well What all will
the students do And even if any extra-curricular ac-
tivities are being learnt then more extra studies Just
study study and study
Why so much of tension on the children Under this
tension only they start cheating As time passes cheat-
ing becomes a habit of their lifeI fell that exams
should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate
whether the students are clear with the concepts or
not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but
should be made understand their mistakes Let them
choose their own career options on their own Help
them know what they like to study and what they want
to do in their life So dont pressurize students for
what they dont like and encourage them in what they
do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the
country

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B
Life is all about interactions You meet people and
you interact You observe them consciously or sub-
consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us
more than we even realise Some people leave a last-
ing impression on us and entirely change the course of
life for better or for worse Some people influence us
help us go further and make all the difference
I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-
tial people They have taken care of me ever since I
came into this world They are the ones who wish the
best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-
cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel
no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-
come a part of my personality They are the ones who
helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me
to be better
When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are
the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-
takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique
learning experience It has made me realise how eve-
rything they do has a reason They are the ones who
have taught me the importance of the little things in
life They are the ones who have helped me recognize
and follow my passion The very thought of them not
being a part of my life is scary to the least as without
them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am
today and whatever I have achieved is all because of
them and I am very grateful of that
Eyesight
-Aditi Shenoy VIII-F
The tired little girl went to bed
Recollecting the days bygone
Seeing them in her dreams
As the day she was born
Trying to see the world
With her little eyes
But the sun with his brightness
Wouldnt let her catch the sights
The girl still eager
And curious to see the world around her
Again opened her eyes
But her vision was blurred
Still she did not lose hope
Which flowed through her blood
Encouraging and pushing her
To see the world further
Her heart beating fast
Her enthusiasm increasing
She slowly tried to see
With her eyes continuously blinking
Starting to lose hope
She was ready to give up
But curiosity got the upper hand
And pushed her forward
With her hope again rising
and strength in her eyesight
She is finally seeing the world
With wide open eyes

Conquering the space
-Marisha Nath VIII-C
ldquoThere is no failure in Science it is only continual
effort to conquer the unknown On the way even if we
face failure it rather adds more value to our effort for
our next journey to know the unknownrdquo
Chandrayan-2 Indiarsquos Moon Mission The dream of
entire India to land on moon and become the 4th Na-
tion in the world to put its flag on the soil of moon
after USSR USA amp China
ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launched
Chandrayan-2 on 22nd July 2019 from Bengaluru
(Satish Dhawan Space Center) under the command of
ISRO chief K Shivan It consists of ORBITER
LANDER amp Lunar Rover PRAGYAN Like Chandra-
yan-1(22nd Oct2008) it was Indiarsquos indigenous moon
mission
It touched the Moon Surface on Saturday early morn-
ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-
ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-
ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of
moon it lost contact with the ground station Because
of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be
monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m
(approx) away from its assigned location near
SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still
orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange
signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it
The ORBITER which will remain active for another
12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-
owed portion of the moon for the first time in history
with the help of its high-resolution camera
The entire Nation irrespective of their field of
knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front
of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of
VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true
Indians who always dream progress and development
of their motherland But our heart never accepts this
as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement
for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-
pose of our mission
But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at
this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring
country quoting this as a big failure on part of India
blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos
money on this
Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will
be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to
this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other
nations on such missions
Further I should say that India is not new in the field
of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-
TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975
It was named after famous scientist of ancient India
ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested
for the first time the HELIOCENTRIC THEORY
(Sun at the center and all planets revolve around the
Sun) of the Solar System much earlier than ready for
New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 57
COPERNICUS as believed in the western world
Other countries might have moon on their flags but
we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is
great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are
whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-
rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is
only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the
unknown and its continual application for the benefit
of the mankind)rdquo
Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by
various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-
PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-
cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958
onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as
46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was
attempted out of which only 21 was successful
Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-
tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the
overall attempts conducted by other Nations
USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-
NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was
planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January
SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR
successfully on moon
NASA after many attempts was successful to send
first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th
July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk
on moon
Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-
clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-
SION MANGAL for our next moon mission

The Aloof Humans - A curse to mother
earth - Vaijayanthimala Navneet VIII-J
With all the night strength and gust
Preserving nature is must
Mother Nature has been so lucrative
Letrsquos do something to save her
Something new and creativersquo
Let us get pollution under control
Before mother Earth weeps and implores
Let clean air sweep
Both high and deep
Let the tiny piece of land
Be clean tidy and neat
Let uncontaminated water be
So that everything doesnrsquot
end like the sea
Let the tree stand
lsquoCause it is more alluring than the seven colour band
Without being loquacious
Mother nature is indeed precious
The Little girl
- Bhumika Sharma VI-F
I found in a garage
Near the carriage
A tiny little baby girl
She had cute blue eyes
Which were very small in size
And had beautiful hair with a cute little curl
I wonder why she was there
And she came fromhellipwhere
I then asked a person passing on the road
If he knew the merciless who
kept her near the horses and
toads
The person replied ldquoWho cares
O Madamhellip
hellipFor a girl who is denied by her
dad and mum
I felt very sad and cried
But I saved her lest she died
Who will save many such girls
Imagine a world without these pearls
Treat them with respect and love
The Little Guest - Ashwathy Ganesh VI ndashD
It was rainy season
At home came a pigeon
It made its nest and was a pest
But there came another guest
Who shooed away the little pest
First there was nothing but a basket of twigs
And I watched it eating figs
When the thunder came with the rain
I got a bit scared
But it didnrsquot fly away
Because I took care
Soon there were three small
eggs
Which were taken care of by the guest
The bird is easy to guess
Because it doesnrsquot make a mess
With its red tail
It looked a bit frail
Between the plants green full full
Was the nest of the little Bulbul

The Art of Dharma as per Mahabharata
- Abhishek Singh [Teacher SrSecondary]
Dharma means the Duty or RighteousnessDharma is
subtle many times we are forced to take wrong
means for right means(and ends us like Arjuna in hell)
or reaches wrong ends following right means(like
Yudhishthira in exile)Its like the Ying and Yang
Duryodhanarsquos envy for the Pandvarsquos Indraprastha and
Yudhishthirarsquos greed or addiction to a game of dice
and win more territory was the main cause of war
The envy can result in healthy competitiveness raising
oneself up by making the envious work harder for
rivalrsquos possessions or eternal sickness to pull the rival
downThe envy and greed are both presents even in
the
modern day world the failure
of communism was caused by
envy among citizens while the
capitalist system is stranded by greed The aim of so-
ciety should not be to suppress these feelings among
its citizens but to channelize them productively Envy
is the vice of socialism Greed is the evil of capital-
ism
Dharma is not justice Its difference between Retribu-
tive Justice and forgiveness While a nation with
stronger legal laws can prefer justice over peace the
newly created or war-torn nations with weaker legal
laws should prefer to restore peace and harmony in
society rather than emphasizing justice
Beware You are in for a scare
- Ayush Lonakadi IX-C
I had returned home late but after reaching home I had
wished I had not reached home that day There was no
electricity which just made it creepier When I
reached my room my exhaustion made me forget that
I was famished I lay on the bed scrolling down pic-
tures I had recently clicked I relived happy moments
but someone out there wasnrsquot happy to see me happy
and I noticed a photograph in my phone which be-
mused me ndash not mentioning how frightened I had be-
come
The picture waswashow can I explain The back-
ground was of my house In the photoI was
sleeping Butbut how could that have been possi-
ble I lived alone there was no one to click my photo
while I was sleeping I was petrified with my eyes
wide open and my whole body was horror-struck
Then all the unwanted noises came into focus ndash the
noises from outside noises of something creaking and
the wind forcefully blowing through the thin slit of the
window eerily
I was panic-stricken I
quickly switched my
phone off and kept it on
the table beside and did
not bother about changing my clothes and covered my
face with a blanket and hugged it tightly I could not
even think of sleeping Every second the clock ticked
I hugged the blanket harder My face and chest were
drenched in sweat I felt some supernatural move-
ments around me something trying to reach out to
me
By then I was praying to God to take me away from
that place I was ready to die Then something hap-
pened and I became frantic from tip to toe lsquoIt is Tues-
day todayrsquo The virtual assistant of my phone said but
I clearly remembered that I had switched off my
phone Who asked the question It was this trauma
that I couldnrsquot bear and today I am here telling you
this story after turning into a roaming soul Look to
your right I am right beside you

Travelling Aaryan Aggarwal IX - B
Travelling is an experience It doesnrsquot matter where
you travel Every place is great in its own ways You
could go to a culturally rich yet underdeveloped place
or you could go to an advanced metropolitan place
You could travel slow paced or you could be adven-
turous and go off the beaten path You could go to the
beach you could go to a museum It wonrsquot matter as
wherever you go you will always get a new and
different experience The experiences will open your
mind to a whole new world and culture which will
change your understanding and preconceived notions
about that place You will also get an opportunity to
detoxify yourself from social media Thus I believe
that travelling is more than just a hobby and can
change your entire thought process and state of
mind
Wallflower
- Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
She lived under a rock
More by force than by will
She lived there so long
She had nothing to fight with
All these people pushing her down
Her feeble frame could fight no long
She vowed to never stop the struggle
Until she had on her temples the crown
Declaring to the world her change
after years bygone
From being the young shy girl they saw
But all this struggle slowly had her crumbling
As she withered her dreams fading
Cause promises are sometimes left undone
When fate decides to yield a gun
And the world never saw the light
Of a wallflower wishing to shine so bright
Being Myself -Nidhi Mishra VIII-G
I did never lie to myself
Never strived to be someone else
And so I never shy
To look myself straight in the eye
I did never hide myself
And lavish a priceless gift
Having lsquolifersquo as its spell
Being myself Irsquoll uplift
Life is too short
Donrsquot be someone else
A onetime offer we have got
Even more precious than a thousand jewels

Women Empowerment - Devangi Dongre VII-B
The abilities of women in making decisions educa-
tion and profession have been largely suppressed
since ages considering them inferior to men The sit-
uation is worst in underdeveloped and developing na-
tions where women in a family are not allowed to
take financial decisions or decide on matters regard-
ing their own educationWith such state of affairs it
would be a fallacy to dream about the goals of sus-
tainable development and gender equality There is an
instant need to take measures to lift the social
personal and professional
status of women bringing
them shoulder to shoulder
with men These particular
measures constitute a pro-
cess which is known as ldquoWomen Empowermentrdquo
Providing better education and employment opportu-
nities to women ensuring their better health provid-
ing justice and ensuring professional equivalence are
the few methods of women empowerment

- Aaryan Aggarwal IX-B
He looked from afar at his towering creation A re-
mote island in the Pacific Ocean seemed like a great
refuge after what had been happening on the Earth
He chose secrecy as his mission had raised many eye-
brows The plan was simple lsquoEscape and start overrsquo
Right now Moon seemed to be the most viable option
in terms of survival The research had been done
Moon was habitable So close to our abode our cos-
mic neighbor the Moon must exist for a reason It-
will not just be a secondary habitat but also be a step-
ping stone for further progress
His meticulously crafted plan was now just minutes
away from execution A team of four explorers would
first leave Earth and explore the Moon to test his hy-
pothesis Once a temporary col-
ony using genetically engi-
neered pods containing human
embryos is set up they would
further analyze the surroundings and find ways to
make it more habitable The lesser gravitational pull
which allowed for a comparatively lower escape ve-
locity made it easier to transport resources from the
Earth or the ISS Sure it would be difficult at first
Earth is unmatched but he knew it was for the greater
good of mankind It would mean more opportunities
and help us understand our place in this universe
Right now we have confined ourselves in a box and
this is the only way to leave it and unleash the won-
ders of the universe In front of his eyes it flew never
to come back

Make the Choice
-Nidhi Mishra VIII-G
My vision reflects its flaming intention
Irsquom steady upon the decision
About which Irsquoll never disclaim
Accepting the outcome never blame
To impulse refer those achieves
Itrsquos your resolve donrsquot quit
There wasnrsquot any lose that grieves
There was just a lesson in it
I turn down to immure oneself
In the decision of mine
I possess optimism in myself
And so I believe everything
will be fine
Though it may be tough
To perceive ones way to success
A dose of victory isnrsquot enough
Itrsquos always limitless
Television Pros and Cons
- Soumya Sheth
What do most of the people do these days to entertain
themselvesEveryone likes to switch ON their televi-
sion sets which is one of the exceptional inventions of
science When our Dads come home tired after office
the first thing they would like to do is switch On the
TV and relax while watching it from his sofa seat
This is because while watching different things that
are broadcasted on TV we forget our worries and re-
grets of the day
However like every good and popular inventions tel-
evision also has its set of some worrying habits that
people get hitched to For example sometimes kids
watch it for extensive time thereby affecting their
studies This is one of the most worrying habit for par-
ents and we should know that ignoring studies is not
good for our future and studying is as much important
for us at this tender age more than anything elseItrsquos
true that television can bring us the knowledge from
across the world We can see different parts of the
world virtually sitting at the same place But we
should know how
we can use this
incredible inven-
tion of science in
the right and bene-
ficial way for us Now-a-days Smart TVs have be-
come even more popular We can even use internet on
those TVs Use Google to search for answers we donrsquot
know use YouTube to understand how things are
made or get our doubts cleared and much much more
To summarize it I would like to urge all my fellow
students to use this precious invention of science in a
way that will benefit you to gain constructive
knowledge and avoid destructive knowledge We
should know that television is not the world but only a
small component of this world Please know that there
are other things in life which we should enjoy too
along with giving utmost importance to our studies

The night before the final examination
-Marisha Nath VIII- C
The night before the final examination appears to all
examinees as the night before the Battle of Waterloo
might have appeared to Napoleon or the Duke of Wel-
lington Our system of education being what it is we
examinees are bound to be anxious about the nature of
the nature of the questions we will have to answer
next day Even an earnest student who has done all
that needs be done by way of nervousness uncertainty
and suspense on the night before the examination The
morning of the examination finds them prostate with
nervous disorder
But this is one side the picture There are students
who may be described as soldiers of fortune They are
daredevil youngsters who do not take their examina-
tions seriously But their lack of preparation is more
than made up for by the short cuts or bazar notes they
have provided themselves with Even on the night
before the examina-
tion they would be
going about their
daily rounds They
may be found in the parks cafes and restaurants talk-
ing about tips ndashtalking glibly and confidently about
what questions are sure to come The morning of the
examination finds them as cheerful as they were on
the night before
What is needed most is self-confidence and a cool
head True we do not remember all that we have read
when we go to the Examination Hall This does not
mean that we have forgotten them Many things re-
main in the sub ndashconscious region They jump into
consciousness when we face the questions and seri-
ously think of the answers Often such answers score
more marks than prepared ones
Elegance
-Prajna VIII-D
Elegant you be for the universe to learn your versatility
Brighter you shine the orb will know your sustenance
The stars moons and clouds let know your dignity
Apparently it seems your flawless abundance
The ideal triumph mustnrsquot be exaggerated

Elegant you be for the universe to learn your versatility
How can you be silent if you donrsquot know your efficiency
One of the values to become successful is simplicity
Through elegance letrsquos spread positivist

Chocolate all around to the reach of my hand
Toffees candies lollies and bars
In my mouth a crunchy munchy war
White dark nutty and sweet
Just like a dreamy treat
Colourful wrapper shiny and bright
Which one to choose which would be right
Houses made of chocolates and doors made of bars
And out stood there a chocolate car
Soon after it was 6 oclock
And could hear the doorrsquos knock
I woke up in a hurry
Just to realise that it was a dream

The ant and the elephant
- SOUMEN RAO IV-E
Once upon a time in a forest there lived an ant and an
elephant The elephant was the biggest among all the
elephants So he was very proud of himself and used
to criticize everyone and the ant which was the tiniest
among them was very happy and cheerful It used to
help everyone I its own way
All the animals in the forest used to complain about
the egoistic elephant So one day when the ant saw the
elephant walking towards it it immediately thought of
a plan As soon as the elephant came near the ant
said ldquoHello My friendrdquo but the elephant replied rude-
ly saying ldquoYou tiny
ant Get off my way
otherwise yoursquoll get
crushed to deathrdquo
Hearing this ant
challenged the elephant sayingrdquo My big friend I can
make you cryrdquo The ant quickly climbed onto the trunk
of the elephant and ran towards its earit went inside
the ear and started biting the elephants ear The ele-
phant tried to flap its ears but in vain After a few
minutes tears started rolling down its eyes It cried
ldquoPlease come out of my ear I canrsquot bear the painrdquo As
soon as the ant came out the elephant apologized for
its mistake and didnrsquot tease any animals from that day
Grandparents
-Aditya Patil VIII-E
The best place in vacation
A heaven like destination
Their love for us is endless
All their sacrifices are worthless
Great is their surrounding divinity
In front of our ordinary identity
To your grandparents never be rude
Because they are your
coolest dude
They yell at our parents
when we are shouted
With generosity and be-
nevolence they are bounded
Be sure to always meet your grandparents once in a
while and enhance yourself by their presence

Water Conservation
- Paarth Bhagat VII-J
Water is life If there was no water there would be no
life Hence water is the precious gift of God to mother
Earth We cannot imagine our lives without water
We human beings are made up of water it is the only
transportation medium that carries the food molecules
and oxygen to the cells of every body parts to help the
blood It signifies that water is the most essential in-
gredient to the functioning of life of every organism
So you see living this wonderful life is impossible
without water
Water is the force behind all the industry agriculture
manufacturing and trade and commerce All forms of
energy generation is done using water Be it hydroe-
lectrically projects or thermal power plant or nuclear
power plant water is
the key ingredient in
all of them There
would be no power
without water No
water no life
So it is our responsibility to conserve this life nectar
It is possible only through by changing our outlook
towards this wonderful natural resource We must en-
sure there is no pollution of water bodies by dumping
any waste such as sewage effluents and other toxic
substances We must also ensure there is no emission
of green-house gases into the atmosphere The people
and the government must ensure installation of efflu-
ents and smoke treatment plants at industrial garbage
and sewage units

The kind Fairies -Aditys Patil VIII-E
This story starts with two beautiful babies in a king-
dom called fairyland The babies were very pretty
Their names were Ovi and Riddhi They were growing
pretty well As they grew they became more and
more pretty Over and over they were also fairies and
within 5 years they became young girls Their mother
told them to go to school The girls askedwhere are
the schools There are no schools here Mother said
dont worry you will go to the planet Earth On the
planet Earth there is a very good school named New
Horizon Public School and the short form is nhps We
said ok On the first day of our school we were very
afraid but after a few days we
became more smart than the
others We were getting a lot of
prizes which we shared with
eveyone in the school This
made us and others happy One day We became the
princess of fairyland Our wings were like a rainbow
We were twins and had very long hairs Now I end
my story with a beautiful quote
ALWAYS HELP EACH OTHER LIKE THE
FARIES BECAUSE HELPING PEOPLE IS THE
PATH TO GOD
The Day Irsquoll Never Forget - Saranya Sarangi VII -
It was a day of love and affection
There was no visible sign of caution
But something unfortunate was going to happen
Nobody knew where and when
There was a blast at half past three
In a beauty land called Paradise On Earth
A complete silence and pity hadnrsquot the thee
Perished laid the martyrs
Whom our motherland gave birth
I still remember that scaring sight
The scattered limbs I couldnrsquot see
My heart got filled with grief and fright
No Indian could glee
Terribly writhing the soldiers were seen
Some families languished and some
were crying
So loyal to their country they had been
None of their families were mollifying
Whatever homage to our martyrs we pay
Tiny before their they lay
Salute to their tribute to motherland

I am a little birdie in the sky
With two wings to fly
I never disturb you
I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom
O human Then why do you steal my FREEDOM
Binding me alone in the cage makes me sad
Donrsquot you know caging a bird is bad
Looking at the sky
I wish I could fly
I never disturb you
I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom
O human Then why do you steal my
FREEDOM

Summers in India - Saranya Sarangi VIII
A hot season beginning from April till May is what we
call summer And thatrsquos the basic rule in India But
thatrsquos not something through which we can define
summers in our country India The sun shining high
above the head increasing the heat and this scorching
heat is something very unique about summers in India
Those ice-lolly stalls roaming down the streets tin-
kling their tiny bells is something special one will nev-
er find in any other country Many people love this
season
Especially the children as they get to eat ice-creams
Many people even donrsquot As they feel that this season
can only make a person dehydrated exhausted and irri-
tated Summer as we think as an unfruitful season is
contrast in reality Schools conduct summer camps
during vacation where stu-
dents can join different aca-
demic and co-curricular
courses to improve them-
selves Many children even spend time with their fami-
lies
Often families plan trips to different places as they get
a very long vacation during this season But now-a-
days due to increasing heat these pleasant summers
are becoming unbearable Every just sweat and sweat
We get a lethargic feeling not ready to do any work
Due to this heat we continually keep the ACs on which
consume a lot of electricity creating trouble for our
mother Earth and us Gradually that charm of the
unique kind of summers will be lost if precautions are
not taken We must really hope and work hard to bring
back our lovely lsquoSummers in Indiarsquo
Exams are good or bad
- Nupoor Teli VIIIndashI
In my humble opinionexams are apressure on the stu-
dents They are forced to study and score good
markswhich can lead to frustration An environmentof
competitivenessof standing first is created for which
students keep on studying day and night without any
recreation It is good to studybut not just for the sake
of gaining marks
Why do we study What is the main intention behind
education Seeking intersresting and fascinating
knowledge as well as facts about the world But now-a
-daysthe main reason for studying is gaining marks If
there are no marksno career andno success This is the
mindset of 70 people of the worldespecially parents
They pressurize their children so much that they get
depressed or sometimes attempt suicide as well
Every two months an exam is conducted Moreo-
verthere are projectssubject-enrichment activi-
tieschapter test sfter every topicnotebookfile submis
sion etcAnd as acherry on top
of the cakewe have the semes-
ter exams of eighty marks as
well What all will the students
do And even if any extra-
curricular activities are being learntthen more extra
studies Just studystudy and study
Why so much of tension on the children Under this
tension only they start cheating As time passes cheat-
ing becomes a habit of their life
I fell that exams should be conducted once a term in
order to evaluate whether the students are clear with
the concepts or notThey shouldnt be pressurized for
their marksbut should be made understand their mis-
takes Let them choose their own career options on
their own Help them knowwhat they like to study and
what they want to do in their life So dont pressurize
students for what they dont likeand encourage them in
what they do After allthey are only the Rising stars of
the country

Life is magical - Piyush Sahoo VII-H
A new day or a new night
Everything in life seems bright
A new morning or a new evening
Life is full of happening
A life is just like a kite
It may disappear in a sight
Life moves from baby to old
Make your life challenging and bold
Enjoy life the fullest
Never accept less than best
Unlikely life comes to an end
But remember never to bend
Happy sadness victory and loss
Accept it the way it comes
Life can be at times tragical
But make it the most beautiful
Life is magicalhellip
Life is so magicalhellip
Humility -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
Humility is having a heart to treat others with respect
and love Considering people worthy of your love
time and efforts regardless of who they are or what
they have done A person is truly humble when they
are willing to work hard for others expecting nothing
in return
Humility has the power to change a personrsquos perspec-
tive towards life It can make a difference in the way a
person is looked upon by others Doing an act of hum-
bleness can make a personrsquos day Humility is about
not having an ego or considering things below your
dignity or considering yourself greater than others
People often confuse humility with self-respect They
canrsquot make out the difference between being useful to
others and being used by others
It takes courage to be humble
because in the era in which we
live humility is looked upon as
weakness People assume yoursquore not strong enough to
stand up for yourself They think you surrender in-
stead of protesting They will despise and scorn you
but they donrsquot know that you take pleasure in what
you do because they havenrsquot experienced that kind of
joy
So if you do have humility donrsquot draw back from it
because of what others think Whatever you are doing
is for the good of others and you have no need to be
ashamed of that Humbleness will spread from person
to person Who knows maybe your one act of humili-
ty will spread on to help a person in need So be brave
be humble
Mom -Tanvi Sawant VII-C
Oh mom I came to this beautiful world just because
of youhellip
Mom what would I do without you
Oh mom there are thorns on the way
But you manage to get me awayhellip
Oh mom I canrsquot say how much yoursquore to me
Mom just promise me that yoursquoll and
always be with mehellip
Oh mom this world is incomplete
without you
Just like the sky without itrsquos bright color bluehellip
Oh mom yoursquore the candle that showed the way in the
dark
My dear mom you made my life spark

Hello I am the Earth
For me I am the sweetest heart
I provide you with lots of stuff
With food and the mangoes that you love
I give you water soil and Sun
I am special as I am just one
But the humans living on me
Are making me dirty
They are cutting all the trees
And killing all the species helliphellip
They filling me with smoke and death
They are killing themselves

Make me the best by pol-
luting me less and less
And preventing my green dress
You can save water
you plant a tree
Make a better home for you on me
Recycle things donrsquot throw them awayhellip

OUR FUTURE EARTH - Hiya Purswani VIII-B
We all know the present condition of our environment
around us Inspite of advanced and modern technolo-
gy we humans are still not able to find a solution
Early humans neither they had much technology nor
they had enough intelligence but still in the early ages
the environment was clean making it the reason for
the increasing life span of humans Its a shocking
news to know that the amount of plastic bottles pro-
duced now may lead to increase in plastic pollution
and cause several death Its a great opportunity to be
as a human in this beautiful earth and so its our re-
sponsibility to make it clean In monsoon people cut
down trees to prevent accidents to occur but do we
plant trees in summer to prevent more global warm-
ing We can prevent bad things to happen but not can-
not take that much effort for good things to spread
Have you ever wondered while seeing a tap open how
many taps are left open at the same time in the whole
world It might sound unbelievable there can be a
World War III on water land and fresh air The way
we are thinking about the wastage of water may lead
us to a massive pain Itrsquos truly said by Warren Buffet
sometimes to buy things we need we have to sell
things we do not need This happens in the case of
lacking of intelligence We say every scholar is a true
genius but in my
opinion a person is
genius if he has the
ability to save and
change things in his
own way We all have the ability to save this earth
but our thoughts our ego and our greediness is stop-
ping us to think in a better way Everyone has a good
and a bad side in his life What matters is the part we
choose to act upon This is an excellent thought said
by Sirius Black in the movie Harry Potter Itrsquos time to
bring a change We always have time to do good
things all we need is hope Spreading awareness is the
best idea to bring a change If everyone stops thinking
about their economical needs and start contributing
towards the environment by planting more trees cer-
tainly there will be a beneficial change in this world
Neither do we think about the future nor care about
the present Why not be an optimist and think in a
positive way of life Our studies our needs our
knowledge will not help us in any way if we donʼt
change Its not that easy to plant a tree and care for it a
whole year if we only plant it with all our love nature
is certainly going to care for it Lastly I would like to
end with a quoterdquo Come forth in the light of things
nature will be your teacher
The Small Hours Pranjal Anil Chavan V-C
No more my little song Come back
And now of nights I lay my head on down
to watch the black
And wait the unfailing gray
Oh Sad are winter nights and slow
And sad is a song thatrsquos dumb
And sad it is to lie I know
Another dawn will come

Floods and Destruction
- Nirvi Soni IV-H
India faces occurrence of floods each year in some
parts of Assam during the rainy season Water of river
Brahmaputra rises and enters into many villages
causing great destruction Floods are unavoidable but
we need to take precautions in the following ways by
reducing mining activities building dams growing
more trees etc During floods the weather becomes
wet and gloomy Trees and plants get uprooted This
way floods cause great de-
struction to both life and
property It also becomes dif-
ficult to travel from place to
place Many people are left
homeless The rain water should be harvested and
stored in large storage tanks The harvested rainwater
can be used for washing clothes and cleaning By us-
ing rain water in our daily life we can preserve water
resources
Good Morning Everyone -Vyomi ThakkarVI - H
Come with me wersquoll have some fun
Wersquoll go on a walk
Donrsquot worry will have a great talk
Roaming around the ground
With beautiful birdrsquos sound
We donrsquot know if anything will be found
Wersquoll surely find the crown
Up on the chilled mountain
We saw a beautiful fountain
Surrounded by a beautiful castle
Decorated with the colourful tassel
Just be quiet and keen
Soon you will be the queen
Think before you speak
-Shravya Atreya IX-D
Think before you speak
There are hearts you must please
Think before you speak
You canrsquot undo the harm done after you squeak
Think before you speak
You might have done greater harm than you might
think
Think before you speak
There are still places left for you
to seek
Think before you speak
There is a long way to go before
you sleep
Think before you speak
There are hearts you must
please
Sunrise -Anuradha Singh VII-H
Over the glimmering purple sea
Under the golden sun rise

staring at his own in the
enamelled sea
Everything is fine
With fading stars and rising light

GLOBAL WARMING - Adhyant Singh VII-F
Global warming refers to the steady rise in the Earthrsquos mean temperature The effect of global
warming had come into sight when polar ice caps started melting this phenomena is called ICE ndash
ALBEDO the ice caps melt faster due to the rise in the temperature This sudden rise in the temperature near
the poles began in 1999 The polar ice caps in Antarctica melt at the rate of 400000000000 tons per year ac-
cording to some scientists it would approximately take 5000 years to melt the total ice on earth In 2013 Inter-
governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) stated that the main cause of Global warming is human inter-
vention like emission of Green house gases like Carbon-Di-Oxide nitrous oxide and methane
These gases trap the heat which is reflected by the Earthrsquos surface thus increasing the temperature and also
destroying the ozone layer which prevents the ultraviolet rays of the sun from reaching the earthrsquos surface Al-
so burning fossil fuel contributes to the problem Effects of global warming have also led to the increase in the
sea level and extreme weather like heat waves and change in the regional pattern of precipitation and the ex-
pansion of desserts A concentrated and focused effort by the entire humanity can curb down the impact of
Global warming and also prevent it Planting more trees to control the amount of carbon-di-oxide eliminating
the use of chlorofluorocarbon or (CFCrsquoS) are a few steps All the countries have signed up with the United Na-
tions Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to prevent the doomsday of Earth So to prevent
earthrsquos doomsday we all must work together
Itrsquos not too late there is still timehellipBefore the earth ends and we whinehellipSo keep on marching and planting
greens To end Global Warming and Make our planet greenhellip
What will happen without Instagram

I asked who was the inventor
Nobody knew the answer to my question
Mobiles Mobiles Mobiles

Why is it they donrsquot know
There was one time we were
engrossed in books

Instagram wonrsquot give you a job
You will have to study and top
Your fellow followers wonrsquot help either

The Night - Matangi Rajesh VII-D
Its the night
The moon is white
When we switch off the light
What a beautiful sight
After this comes the sun bright
There is no more artificial light
This is the time to start your diet
To go for a run wearing tights
Then comes the evening when
you have snacks light
And fly a big colorful kite
or include your sibling in a pillow fight
Again comes the night
A moon which is white
We switch off the light
A beautiful sight

Hyperloop -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
Human inventions have baffled the world They are
innumerable ranging from revolutionizing
smartphones to not-so-breathtaking ice cream cones
but they play a role in our life just the same The
things which are commonplace to us now were unbe-
knownst to people once upon a time For the people of
the 19th century the car was a thing of the future until
in 1885 Karl Benz ran his first car on the road Then
for centuries people took the prospect of of flying like
the birds as only a wild possibility which was made
possible in 1903 when the Wright Brothers flew the
first plane
What is the thing of the future for us Well we are the
future modifying and bettering the things that have
been made and crating stuff that we didnt even dare
to imagine about The Hyperloop fulfills both aspects
of the definition a very advanced model of our faith-
ful train and yet a brand new idea to scale greater
heights The Hyperloop is an ideal mode of efficient
transport Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane
with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing
speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt have to
ace the two types of friction that every other vehicle
has to face Air resistance and ground friction The
pods of the Hyperloop are propelled through a depres-
surized tub Since it is almost vacuum very little air
resistance can be offered inside the tube Due to this
the energy required to travel is also very less The Hy-
perloops unique technology uses magnetic levitation
to guide and lift the pods of the rail Since the pod is
not in contact with the ground there is no friction act-
ing on itThe first Hyperloop ndash virgin Hyperloop one
is set to run with passengers as early as 2021 and is
created by SpaceX and Tesla
The mastermind behind the Hyperloop is Elon Musk
who first published a 58 page white-paper on the web-
site of his company-Space X It was available to all
and was titled Hyperloop alpha The Hyperloop may
be the pioneer of a whole new era of transportation
traveling a distance which would otherwise take 12
hours in just I hour it has crossed all known bounda-
ries and created higher limits for us to reach and reach
we must for when time is money and money is time
an option that saves both needs to be used
Exams are good or bad -Nupoor Teli VIII
In my humble opinion exams are pressure on the stu-
dents They are forced to study and score good marks
which can lead to frustration An environment of com-
petitiveness of standing first is created for which stu-
dents keep on studying day and night without any rec-
reation It is good to study but not just for the sake of
gaining marks
Why do we study What is the main intention behind
education Seeking interesting and fascinating
knowledge as well as facts about the world But now-a
-days the main reason for studying is gaining marks
If there are no marks no career and no success This
is the mindset of 70 people of the world especially
parents They pressurize their children so much that
they get depressed or sometimes attempt suicide as
wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-
ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities
chapter test after every topic notebookfile submis-
sion etc And as cherry on top of the cake we have the
semester exams of eighty marks as well What all will
the students do And even if any extra-curricular ac-
tivities are being learnt then more extra studies Just
study study and study
Why so much of tension on the children Under this
tension only they start cheating As time passes cheat-
ing becomes a habit of their lifeI fell that exams
should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate
whether the students are clear with the concepts or
not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but
should be made understand their mistakes Let them
choose their own career options on their own Help
them know what they like to study and what they want
to do in their life So dont pressurize students for
what they dont like and encourage them in what they
do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the
country

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B
Life is all about interactions You meet people and
you interact You observe them consciously or sub-
consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us
more than we even realise Some people leave a last-
ing impression on us and entirely change the course of
life for better or for worse Some people influence us
help us go further and make all the difference
I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-
tial people They have taken care of me ever since I
came into this world They are the ones who wish the
best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-
cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel
no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-
come a part of my personality They are the ones who
helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me
to be better
When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are
the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-
takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique
learning experience It has made me realise how eve-
rything they do has a reason They are the ones who
have taught me the importance of the little things in
life They are the ones who have helped me recognize
and follow my passion The very thought of them not
being a part of my life is scary to the least as without
them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am
today and whatever I have achieved is all because of
them and I am very grateful of that
Eyesight
-Aditi Shenoy VIII-F
The tired little girl went to bed
Recollecting the days bygone
Seeing them in her dreams
As the day she was born
Trying to see the world
With her little eyes
But the sun with his brightness
Wouldnt let her catch the sights
The girl still eager
And curious to see the world around her
Again opened her eyes
But her vision was blurred
Still she did not lose hope
Which flowed through her blood
Encouraging and pushing her
To see the world further
Her heart beating fast
Her enthusiasm increasing
She slowly tried to see
With her eyes continuously blinking
Starting to lose hope
She was ready to give up
But curiosity got the upper hand
And pushed her forward
With her hope again rising
and strength in her eyesight
She is finally seeing the world
With wide open eyes

Conquering the space
-Marisha Nath VIII-C
ldquoThere is no failure in Science it is only continual
effort to conquer the unknown On the way even if we
face failure it rather adds more value to our effort for
our next journey to know the unknownrdquo
Chandrayan-2 Indiarsquos Moon Mission The dream of
entire India to land on moon and become the 4th Na-
tion in the world to put its flag on the soil of moon
after USSR USA amp China
ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launched
Chandrayan-2 on 22nd July 2019 from Bengaluru
(Satish Dhawan Space Center) under the command of
ISRO chief K Shivan It consists of ORBITER
LANDER amp Lunar Rover PRAGYAN Like Chandra-
yan-1(22nd Oct2008) it was Indiarsquos indigenous moon
mission
It touched the Moon Surface on Saturday early morn-
ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-
ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-
ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of
moon it lost contact with the ground station Because
of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be
monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m
(approx) away from its assigned location near
SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still
orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange
signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it
The ORBITER which will remain active for another
12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-
owed portion of the moon for the first time in history
with the help of its high-resolution camera
The entire Nation irrespective of their field of
knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front
of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of
VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true
Indians who always dream progress and development
of their motherland But our heart never accepts this
as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement
for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-
pose of our mission
But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at
this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring
country quoting this as a big failure on part of India
blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos
money on this
Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will
be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to
this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other
nations on such missions
Further I should say that India is not new in the field
of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-
TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975
It was named after famous scientist of ancient India
ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested
for the first time the HELIOCENTRIC THEORY
(Sun at the center and all planets revolve around the
Sun) of the Solar System much earlier than ready for
New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 57
COPERNICUS as believed in the western world
Other countries might have moon on their flags but
we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is
great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are
whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-
rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is
only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the
unknown and its continual application for the benefit
of the mankind)rdquo
Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by
various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-
PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-
cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958
onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as
46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was
attempted out of which only 21 was successful
Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-
tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the
overall attempts conducted by other Nations
USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-
NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was
planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January
SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR
successfully on moon
NASA after many attempts was successful to send
first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th
July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk
on moon
Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-
clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-
SION MANGAL for our next moon mission

Dharma means the Duty or RighteousnessDharma is
subtle many times we are forced to take wrong
means for right means(and ends us like Arjuna in hell)
or reaches wrong ends following right means(like
Yudhishthira in exile)Its like the Ying and Yang
Duryodhanarsquos envy for the Pandvarsquos Indraprastha and
Yudhishthirarsquos greed or addiction to a game of dice
and win more territory was the main cause of war
The envy can result in healthy competitiveness raising
oneself up by making the envious work harder for
rivalrsquos possessions or eternal sickness to pull the rival
downThe envy and greed are both presents even in
the
modern day world the failure
of communism was caused by
envy among citizens while the
capitalist system is stranded by greed The aim of so-
ciety should not be to suppress these feelings among
its citizens but to channelize them productively Envy
is the vice of socialism Greed is the evil of capital-
ism
Dharma is not justice Its difference between Retribu-
tive Justice and forgiveness While a nation with
stronger legal laws can prefer justice over peace the
newly created or war-torn nations with weaker legal
laws should prefer to restore peace and harmony in
society rather than emphasizing justice
Beware You are in for a scare
- Ayush Lonakadi IX-C
I had returned home late but after reaching home I had
wished I had not reached home that day There was no
electricity which just made it creepier When I
reached my room my exhaustion made me forget that
I was famished I lay on the bed scrolling down pic-
tures I had recently clicked I relived happy moments
but someone out there wasnrsquot happy to see me happy
and I noticed a photograph in my phone which be-
mused me ndash not mentioning how frightened I had be-
come
The picture waswashow can I explain The back-
ground was of my house In the photoI was
sleeping Butbut how could that have been possi-
ble I lived alone there was no one to click my photo
while I was sleeping I was petrified with my eyes
wide open and my whole body was horror-struck
Then all the unwanted noises came into focus ndash the
noises from outside noises of something creaking and
the wind forcefully blowing through the thin slit of the
window eerily
I was panic-stricken I
quickly switched my
phone off and kept it on
the table beside and did
not bother about changing my clothes and covered my
face with a blanket and hugged it tightly I could not
even think of sleeping Every second the clock ticked
I hugged the blanket harder My face and chest were
drenched in sweat I felt some supernatural move-
ments around me something trying to reach out to
me
By then I was praying to God to take me away from
that place I was ready to die Then something hap-
pened and I became frantic from tip to toe lsquoIt is Tues-
day todayrsquo The virtual assistant of my phone said but
I clearly remembered that I had switched off my
phone Who asked the question It was this trauma
that I couldnrsquot bear and today I am here telling you
this story after turning into a roaming soul Look to
your right I am right beside you

Travelling Aaryan Aggarwal IX - B
Travelling is an experience It doesnrsquot matter where
you travel Every place is great in its own ways You
could go to a culturally rich yet underdeveloped place
or you could go to an advanced metropolitan place
You could travel slow paced or you could be adven-
turous and go off the beaten path You could go to the
beach you could go to a museum It wonrsquot matter as
wherever you go you will always get a new and
different experience The experiences will open your
mind to a whole new world and culture which will
change your understanding and preconceived notions
about that place You will also get an opportunity to
detoxify yourself from social media Thus I believe
that travelling is more than just a hobby and can
change your entire thought process and state of
mind
Wallflower
- Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
She lived under a rock
More by force than by will
She lived there so long
She had nothing to fight with
All these people pushing her down
Her feeble frame could fight no long
She vowed to never stop the struggle
Until she had on her temples the crown
Declaring to the world her change
after years bygone
From being the young shy girl they saw
But all this struggle slowly had her crumbling
As she withered her dreams fading
Cause promises are sometimes left undone
When fate decides to yield a gun
And the world never saw the light
Of a wallflower wishing to shine so bright
Being Myself -Nidhi Mishra VIII-G
I did never lie to myself
Never strived to be someone else
And so I never shy
To look myself straight in the eye
I did never hide myself
And lavish a priceless gift
Having lsquolifersquo as its spell
Being myself Irsquoll uplift
Life is too short
Donrsquot be someone else
A onetime offer we have got
Even more precious than a thousand jewels

Women Empowerment - Devangi Dongre VII-B
The abilities of women in making decisions educa-
tion and profession have been largely suppressed
since ages considering them inferior to men The sit-
uation is worst in underdeveloped and developing na-
tions where women in a family are not allowed to
take financial decisions or decide on matters regard-
ing their own educationWith such state of affairs it
would be a fallacy to dream about the goals of sus-
tainable development and gender equality There is an
instant need to take measures to lift the social
personal and professional
status of women bringing
them shoulder to shoulder
with men These particular
measures constitute a pro-
cess which is known as ldquoWomen Empowermentrdquo
Providing better education and employment opportu-
nities to women ensuring their better health provid-
ing justice and ensuring professional equivalence are
the few methods of women empowerment

LunaVenture Beyond Horizons
- Aaryan Aggarwal IX-B
He looked from afar at his towering creation A re-
mote island in the Pacific Ocean seemed like a great
refuge after what had been happening on the Earth
He chose secrecy as his mission had raised many eye-
brows The plan was simple lsquoEscape and start overrsquo
Right now Moon seemed to be the most viable option
in terms of survival The research had been done
Moon was habitable So close to our abode our cos-
mic neighbor the Moon must exist for a reason It-
will not just be a secondary habitat but also be a step-
ping stone for further progress
His meticulously crafted plan was now just minutes
away from execution A team of four explorers would
first leave Earth and explore the Moon to test his hy-
pothesis Once a temporary col-
ony using genetically engi-
neered pods containing human
embryos is set up they would
further analyze the surroundings and find ways to
make it more habitable The lesser gravitational pull
which allowed for a comparatively lower escape ve-
locity made it easier to transport resources from the
Earth or the ISS Sure it would be difficult at first
Earth is unmatched but he knew it was for the greater
good of mankind It would mean more opportunities
and help us understand our place in this universe
Right now we have confined ourselves in a box and
this is the only way to leave it and unleash the won-
ders of the universe In front of his eyes it flew never
to come back

Make the Choice
-Nidhi Mishra VIII-G
My vision reflects its flaming intention
Irsquom steady upon the decision
About which Irsquoll never disclaim
Accepting the outcome never blame
To impulse refer those achieves
Itrsquos your resolve donrsquot quit
There wasnrsquot any lose that grieves
There was just a lesson in it
I turn down to immure oneself
In the decision of mine
I possess optimism in myself
And so I believe everything
will be fine
Though it may be tough
To perceive ones way to success
A dose of victory isnrsquot enough
Itrsquos always limitless
Television Pros and Cons
- Soumya Sheth
What do most of the people do these days to entertain
themselvesEveryone likes to switch ON their televi-
sion sets which is one of the exceptional inventions of
science When our Dads come home tired after office
the first thing they would like to do is switch On the
TV and relax while watching it from his sofa seat
This is because while watching different things that
are broadcasted on TV we forget our worries and re-
grets of the day
However like every good and popular inventions tel-
evision also has its set of some worrying habits that
people get hitched to For example sometimes kids
watch it for extensive time thereby affecting their
studies This is one of the most worrying habit for par-
ents and we should know that ignoring studies is not
good for our future and studying is as much important
for us at this tender age more than anything elseItrsquos
true that television can bring us the knowledge from
across the world We can see different parts of the
world virtually sitting at the same place But we
should know how
we can use this
incredible inven-
tion of science in
the right and bene-
ficial way for us Now-a-days Smart TVs have be-
come even more popular We can even use internet on
those TVs Use Google to search for answers we donrsquot
know use YouTube to understand how things are
made or get our doubts cleared and much much more
To summarize it I would like to urge all my fellow
students to use this precious invention of science in a
way that will benefit you to gain constructive
knowledge and avoid destructive knowledge We
should know that television is not the world but only a
small component of this world Please know that there
are other things in life which we should enjoy too
along with giving utmost importance to our studies

The night before the final examination
-Marisha Nath VIII- C
The night before the final examination appears to all
examinees as the night before the Battle of Waterloo
might have appeared to Napoleon or the Duke of Wel-
lington Our system of education being what it is we
examinees are bound to be anxious about the nature of
the nature of the questions we will have to answer
next day Even an earnest student who has done all
that needs be done by way of nervousness uncertainty
and suspense on the night before the examination The
morning of the examination finds them prostate with
nervous disorder
But this is one side the picture There are students
who may be described as soldiers of fortune They are
daredevil youngsters who do not take their examina-
tions seriously But their lack of preparation is more
than made up for by the short cuts or bazar notes they
have provided themselves with Even on the night
before the examina-
tion they would be
going about their
daily rounds They
may be found in the parks cafes and restaurants talk-
ing about tips ndashtalking glibly and confidently about
what questions are sure to come The morning of the
examination finds them as cheerful as they were on
the night before
What is needed most is self-confidence and a cool
head True we do not remember all that we have read
when we go to the Examination Hall This does not
mean that we have forgotten them Many things re-
main in the sub ndashconscious region They jump into
consciousness when we face the questions and seri-
ously think of the answers Often such answers score
more marks than prepared ones
Elegance
-Prajna VIII-D
Elegant you be for the universe to learn your versatility
Brighter you shine the orb will know your sustenance
The stars moons and clouds let know your dignity
Apparently it seems your flawless abundance
The ideal triumph mustnrsquot be exaggerated
Till you salve someonersquos hurt
Elegant you be for the universe to learn your versatility
How can you be silent if you donrsquot know your efficiency
One of the values to become successful is simplicity
Through elegance letrsquos spread positivist

Chocoland - Talreja Aastha IV-J
Once I had been to the Chocolate Land
Chocolate all around to the reach of my hand
Toffees candies lollies and bars
In my mouth a crunchy munchy war
White dark nutty and sweet
Just like a dreamy treat
Colourful wrapper shiny and bright
Which one to choose which would be right
Houses made of chocolates and doors made of bars
And out stood there a chocolate car
Soon after it was 6 oclock
And could hear the doorrsquos knock
I woke up in a hurry
Just to realise that it was a dream
Me Myself

The ant and the elephant
- SOUMEN RAO IV-E
Once upon a time in a forest there lived an ant and an
elephant The elephant was the biggest among all the
elephants So he was very proud of himself and used
to criticize everyone and the ant which was the tiniest
among them was very happy and cheerful It used to
help everyone I its own way
All the animals in the forest used to complain about
the egoistic elephant So one day when the ant saw the
elephant walking towards it it immediately thought of
a plan As soon as the elephant came near the ant
said ldquoHello My friendrdquo but the elephant replied rude-
ly saying ldquoYou tiny
ant Get off my way
otherwise yoursquoll get
crushed to deathrdquo
Hearing this ant
challenged the elephant sayingrdquo My big friend I can
make you cryrdquo The ant quickly climbed onto the trunk
of the elephant and ran towards its earit went inside
the ear and started biting the elephants ear The ele-
phant tried to flap its ears but in vain After a few
minutes tears started rolling down its eyes It cried
ldquoPlease come out of my ear I canrsquot bear the painrdquo As
soon as the ant came out the elephant apologized for
its mistake and didnrsquot tease any animals from that day
Grandparents
-Aditya Patil VIII-E
The best place in vacation
A heaven like destination
Their love for us is endless
All their sacrifices are worthless
Great is their surrounding divinity
In front of our ordinary identity
To your grandparents never be rude
Because they are your
coolest dude
They yell at our parents
when we are shouted
With generosity and be-
nevolence they are bounded
Be sure to always meet your grandparents once in a
while and enhance yourself by their presence

Water Conservation
- Paarth Bhagat VII-J
Water is life If there was no water there would be no
life Hence water is the precious gift of God to mother
Earth We cannot imagine our lives without water
We human beings are made up of water it is the only
transportation medium that carries the food molecules
and oxygen to the cells of every body parts to help the
blood It signifies that water is the most essential in-
gredient to the functioning of life of every organism
So you see living this wonderful life is impossible
without water
Water is the force behind all the industry agriculture
manufacturing and trade and commerce All forms of
energy generation is done using water Be it hydroe-
lectrically projects or thermal power plant or nuclear
power plant water is
the key ingredient in
all of them There
would be no power
without water No
water no life
So it is our responsibility to conserve this life nectar
It is possible only through by changing our outlook
towards this wonderful natural resource We must en-
sure there is no pollution of water bodies by dumping
any waste such as sewage effluents and other toxic
substances We must also ensure there is no emission
of green-house gases into the atmosphere The people
and the government must ensure installation of efflu-
ents and smoke treatment plants at industrial garbage
and sewage units

The kind Fairies -Aditys Patil VIII-E
This story starts with two beautiful babies in a king-
dom called fairyland The babies were very pretty
Their names were Ovi and Riddhi They were growing
pretty well As they grew they became more and
more pretty Over and over they were also fairies and
within 5 years they became young girls Their mother
told them to go to school The girls askedwhere are
the schools There are no schools here Mother said
dont worry you will go to the planet Earth On the
planet Earth there is a very good school named New
Horizon Public School and the short form is nhps We
said ok On the first day of our school we were very
afraid but after a few days we
became more smart than the
others We were getting a lot of
prizes which we shared with
eveyone in the school This
made us and others happy One day We became the
princess of fairyland Our wings were like a rainbow
We were twins and had very long hairs Now I end
my story with a beautiful quote
ALWAYS HELP EACH OTHER LIKE THE
FARIES BECAUSE HELPING PEOPLE IS THE
PATH TO GOD
The Day Irsquoll Never Forget - Saranya Sarangi VII -
It was a day of love and affection
There was no visible sign of caution
But something unfortunate was going to happen
Nobody knew where and when
There was a blast at half past three
In a beauty land called Paradise On Earth
A complete silence and pity hadnrsquot the thee
Perished laid the martyrs
Whom our motherland gave birth
I still remember that scaring sight
The scattered limbs I couldnrsquot see
My heart got filled with grief and fright
No Indian could glee
Terribly writhing the soldiers were seen
Some families languished and some
were crying
So loyal to their country they had been
None of their families were mollifying
Whatever homage to our martyrs we pay
Tiny before their they lay
Salute to their tribute to motherland
To protect us they always walked hand in hand
Little Birdie - Marisha Nath VIII-C
I am a little birdie in the sky
With two wings to fly
I never disturb you
I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom
O human Then why do you steal my FREEDOM
Binding me alone in the cage makes me sad
Donrsquot you know caging a bird is bad
Looking at the sky
I wish I could fly
I never disturb you
I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom
O human Then why do you steal my
FREEDOM

Summers in India - Saranya Sarangi VIII
A hot season beginning from April till May is what we
call summer And thatrsquos the basic rule in India But
thatrsquos not something through which we can define
summers in our country India The sun shining high
above the head increasing the heat and this scorching
heat is something very unique about summers in India
Those ice-lolly stalls roaming down the streets tin-
kling their tiny bells is something special one will nev-
er find in any other country Many people love this
season
Especially the children as they get to eat ice-creams
Many people even donrsquot As they feel that this season
can only make a person dehydrated exhausted and irri-
tated Summer as we think as an unfruitful season is
contrast in reality Schools conduct summer camps
during vacation where stu-
dents can join different aca-
demic and co-curricular
courses to improve them-
selves Many children even spend time with their fami-
lies
Often families plan trips to different places as they get
a very long vacation during this season But now-a-
days due to increasing heat these pleasant summers
are becoming unbearable Every just sweat and sweat
We get a lethargic feeling not ready to do any work
Due to this heat we continually keep the ACs on which
consume a lot of electricity creating trouble for our
mother Earth and us Gradually that charm of the
unique kind of summers will be lost if precautions are
not taken We must really hope and work hard to bring
back our lovely lsquoSummers in Indiarsquo
Exams are good or bad
- Nupoor Teli VIIIndashI
In my humble opinionexams are apressure on the stu-
dents They are forced to study and score good
markswhich can lead to frustration An environmentof
competitivenessof standing first is created for which
students keep on studying day and night without any
recreation It is good to studybut not just for the sake
of gaining marks
Why do we study What is the main intention behind
education Seeking intersresting and fascinating
knowledge as well as facts about the world But now-a
-daysthe main reason for studying is gaining marks If
there are no marksno career andno success This is the
mindset of 70 people of the worldespecially parents
They pressurize their children so much that they get
depressed or sometimes attempt suicide as well
Every two months an exam is conducted Moreo-
verthere are projectssubject-enrichment activi-
tieschapter test sfter every topicnotebookfile submis
sion etcAnd as acherry on top
of the cakewe have the semes-
ter exams of eighty marks as
well What all will the students
do And even if any extra-
curricular activities are being learntthen more extra
studies Just studystudy and study
Why so much of tension on the children Under this
tension only they start cheating As time passes cheat-
ing becomes a habit of their life
I fell that exams should be conducted once a term in
order to evaluate whether the students are clear with
the concepts or notThey shouldnt be pressurized for
their marksbut should be made understand their mis-
takes Let them choose their own career options on
their own Help them knowwhat they like to study and
what they want to do in their life So dont pressurize
students for what they dont likeand encourage them in
what they do After allthey are only the Rising stars of
the country

Life is magical - Piyush Sahoo VII-H
A new day or a new night
Everything in life seems bright
A new morning or a new evening
Life is full of happening
A life is just like a kite
It may disappear in a sight
Life moves from baby to old
Make your life challenging and bold
Enjoy life the fullest
Never accept less than best
Unlikely life comes to an end
But remember never to bend
Happy sadness victory and loss
Accept it the way it comes
Life can be at times tragical
But make it the most beautiful
Life is magicalhellip
Life is so magicalhellip
Humility -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
Humility is having a heart to treat others with respect
and love Considering people worthy of your love
time and efforts regardless of who they are or what
they have done A person is truly humble when they
are willing to work hard for others expecting nothing
in return
Humility has the power to change a personrsquos perspec-
tive towards life It can make a difference in the way a
person is looked upon by others Doing an act of hum-
bleness can make a personrsquos day Humility is about
not having an ego or considering things below your
dignity or considering yourself greater than others
People often confuse humility with self-respect They
canrsquot make out the difference between being useful to
others and being used by others
It takes courage to be humble
because in the era in which we
live humility is looked upon as
weakness People assume yoursquore not strong enough to
stand up for yourself They think you surrender in-
stead of protesting They will despise and scorn you
but they donrsquot know that you take pleasure in what
you do because they havenrsquot experienced that kind of
joy
So if you do have humility donrsquot draw back from it
because of what others think Whatever you are doing
is for the good of others and you have no need to be
ashamed of that Humbleness will spread from person
to person Who knows maybe your one act of humili-
ty will spread on to help a person in need So be brave
be humble
Mom -Tanvi Sawant VII-C
Oh mom I came to this beautiful world just because

without you
Just like the sky without itrsquos bright color bluehellip
Oh mom yoursquore the candle that showed the way in the
dark

Make a better home for you on me

OUR FUTURE EARTH - Hiya Purswani VIII-B
We all know the present condition of our environment
around us Inspite of advanced and modern technolo-
gy we humans are still not able to find a solution
Early humans neither they had much technology nor
they had enough intelligence but still in the early ages
the environment was clean making it the reason for
the increasing life span of humans Its a shocking
news to know that the amount of plastic bottles pro-
duced now may lead to increase in plastic pollution
and cause several death Its a great opportunity to be
as a human in this beautiful earth and so its our re-
sponsibility to make it clean In monsoon people cut
down trees to prevent accidents to occur but do we
plant trees in summer to prevent more global warm-
ing We can prevent bad things to happen but not can-
not take that much effort for good things to spread
Have you ever wondered while seeing a tap open how
many taps are left open at the same time in the whole
world It might sound unbelievable there can be a
World War III on water land and fresh air The way
we are thinking about the wastage of water may lead
us to a massive pain Itrsquos truly said by Warren Buffet
sometimes to buy things we need we have to sell
things we do not need This happens in the case of
lacking of intelligence We say every scholar is a true
genius but in my
opinion a person is
genius if he has the
ability to save and
change things in his
own way We all have the ability to save this earth
but our thoughts our ego and our greediness is stop-
ping us to think in a better way Everyone has a good
and a bad side in his life What matters is the part we
choose to act upon This is an excellent thought said
by Sirius Black in the movie Harry Potter Itrsquos time to
bring a change We always have time to do good
things all we need is hope Spreading awareness is the
best idea to bring a change If everyone stops thinking
about their economical needs and start contributing
towards the environment by planting more trees cer-
tainly there will be a beneficial change in this world
Neither do we think about the future nor care about
the present Why not be an optimist and think in a
positive way of life Our studies our needs our
knowledge will not help us in any way if we donʼt
change Its not that easy to plant a tree and care for it a
whole year if we only plant it with all our love nature
is certainly going to care for it Lastly I would like to
end with a quoterdquo Come forth in the light of things
nature will be your teacher
The Small Hours Pranjal Anil Chavan V-C
No more my little song Come back
And now of nights I lay my head on down
to watch the black
And wait the unfailing gray
Oh Sad are winter nights and slow
And sad is a song thatrsquos dumb
And sad it is to lie I know
Another dawn will come

- Nirvi Soni IV-H
India faces occurrence of floods each year in some
parts of Assam during the rainy season Water of river
Brahmaputra rises and enters into many villages
causing great destruction Floods are unavoidable but
we need to take precautions in the following ways by
reducing mining activities building dams growing
more trees etc During floods the weather becomes
wet and gloomy Trees and plants get uprooted This
way floods cause great de-
struction to both life and
property It also becomes dif-
ficult to travel from place to
place Many people are left
homeless The rain water should be harvested and
stored in large storage tanks The harvested rainwater
can be used for washing clothes and cleaning By us-
ing rain water in our daily life we can preserve water
resources
Good Morning Everyone -Vyomi ThakkarVI - H
Come with me wersquoll have some fun
Wersquoll go on a walk
Donrsquot worry will have a great talk
Roaming around the ground
With beautiful birdrsquos sound
We donrsquot know if anything will be found
Wersquoll surely find the crown
Up on the chilled mountain
We saw a beautiful fountain
Surrounded by a beautiful castle
Decorated with the colourful tassel
Just be quiet and keen
Soon you will be the queen
Think before you speak
-Shravya Atreya IX-D
Think before you speak
There are hearts you must please
Think before you speak
You canrsquot undo the harm done after you squeak
Think before you speak
You might have done greater harm than you might
think
Think before you speak
There are still places left for you
to seek
Think before you speak
There is a long way to go before
you sleep
Think before you speak
There are hearts you must
please
Sunrise -Anuradha Singh VII-H
Over the glimmering purple sea
Under the golden sun rise
The Island dreams under the dawn
And the message is carried by the wind that blows
across the bitter sea
A sparrow sways upon a tree
staring at his own in the
enamelled sea
Everything is fine
With fading stars and rising light

GLOBAL WARMING - Adhyant Singh VII-F
Global warming refers to the steady rise in the Earthrsquos mean temperature The effect of global
warming had come into sight when polar ice caps started melting this phenomena is called ICE ndash
ALBEDO the ice caps melt faster due to the rise in the temperature This sudden rise in the temperature near
the poles began in 1999 The polar ice caps in Antarctica melt at the rate of 400000000000 tons per year ac-
cording to some scientists it would approximately take 5000 years to melt the total ice on earth In 2013 Inter-
governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) stated that the main cause of Global warming is human inter-
vention like emission of Green house gases like Carbon-Di-Oxide nitrous oxide and methane
These gases trap the heat which is reflected by the Earthrsquos surface thus increasing the temperature and also
destroying the ozone layer which prevents the ultraviolet rays of the sun from reaching the earthrsquos surface Al-
so burning fossil fuel contributes to the problem Effects of global warming have also led to the increase in the
sea level and extreme weather like heat waves and change in the regional pattern of precipitation and the ex-
pansion of desserts A concentrated and focused effort by the entire humanity can curb down the impact of
Global warming and also prevent it Planting more trees to control the amount of carbon-di-oxide eliminating
the use of chlorofluorocarbon or (CFCrsquoS) are a few steps All the countries have signed up with the United Na-
tions Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to prevent the doomsday of Earth So to prevent
earthrsquos doomsday we all must work together
Itrsquos not too late there is still timehellipBefore the earth ends and we whinehellipSo keep on marching and planting
greens To end Global Warming and Make our planet greenhellip
What will happen without Instagram
- Kaavya Chaudhary VII-F
Instagram Instagram Instagram
I was hearing it from everyone
I asked who was the inventor
Nobody knew the answer to my question
Mobiles Mobiles Mobiles
I was able to see them everywhere
I asked who was the inventor
Again nobody was aware
I wondered why was it like so
Why is it they donrsquot know
There was one time we were
engrossed in books
Now we care more about our looks
Instagram wonrsquot give you a job
You will have to study and top
Your fellow followers wonrsquot help either
If you donrsquot have a job no one will bother
I am a tree
- Yashawini Pillai
I am a tree
With a dark green crown
And a thick strong trunk
Above the ground
I give you food
I give you fruits
I give you medicine
I give you wood
I need some sunlight
And some fresh air
I need some water
And your loving care

The Night - Matangi Rajesh VII-D
Its the night
The moon is white
When we switch off the light
What a beautiful sight
After this comes the sun bright
There is no more artificial light
This is the time to start your diet
To go for a run wearing tights
Then comes the evening when
you have snacks light
And fly a big colorful kite
or include your sibling in a pillow fight
Again comes the night
A moon which is white
We switch off the light
A beautiful sight

Hyperloop -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
Human inventions have baffled the world They are
innumerable ranging from revolutionizing
smartphones to not-so-breathtaking ice cream cones
but they play a role in our life just the same The
things which are commonplace to us now were unbe-
knownst to people once upon a time For the people of
the 19th century the car was a thing of the future until
in 1885 Karl Benz ran his first car on the road Then
for centuries people took the prospect of of flying like
the birds as only a wild possibility which was made
possible in 1903 when the Wright Brothers flew the
first plane
What is the thing of the future for us Well we are the
future modifying and bettering the things that have
been made and crating stuff that we didnt even dare
to imagine about The Hyperloop fulfills both aspects
of the definition a very advanced model of our faith-
ful train and yet a brand new idea to scale greater
heights The Hyperloop is an ideal mode of efficient
transport Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane
with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing
speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt have to
ace the two types of friction that every other vehicle
has to face Air resistance and ground friction The
pods of the Hyperloop are propelled through a depres-
surized tub Since it is almost vacuum very little air
resistance can be offered inside the tube Due to this
the energy required to travel is also very less The Hy-
perloops unique technology uses magnetic levitation
to guide and lift the pods of the rail Since the pod is
not in contact with the ground there is no friction act-
ing on itThe first Hyperloop ndash virgin Hyperloop one
is set to run with passengers as early as 2021 and is
created by SpaceX and Tesla
The mastermind behind the Hyperloop is Elon Musk
who first published a 58 page white-paper on the web-
site of his company-Space X It was available to all
and was titled Hyperloop alpha The Hyperloop may
be the pioneer of a whole new era of transportation
traveling a distance which would otherwise take 12
hours in just I hour it has crossed all known bounda-
ries and created higher limits for us to reach and reach
we must for when time is money and money is time
an option that saves both needs to be used
Exams are good or bad -Nupoor Teli VIII
In my humble opinion exams are pressure on the stu-
dents They are forced to study and score good marks
which can lead to frustration An environment of com-
petitiveness of standing first is created for which stu-
dents keep on studying day and night without any rec-
reation It is good to study but not just for the sake of
gaining marks
Why do we study What is the main intention behind
education Seeking interesting and fascinating
knowledge as well as facts about the world But now-a
-days the main reason for studying is gaining marks
If there are no marks no career and no success This
is the mindset of 70 people of the world especially
parents They pressurize their children so much that
they get depressed or sometimes attempt suicide as
wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-
ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities
chapter test after every topic notebookfile submis-
sion etc And as cherry on top of the cake we have the
semester exams of eighty marks as well What all will
the students do And even if any extra-curricular ac-
tivities are being learnt then more extra studies Just
study study and study
Why so much of tension on the children Under this
tension only they start cheating As time passes cheat-
ing becomes a habit of their lifeI fell that exams
should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate
whether the students are clear with the concepts or
not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but
should be made understand their mistakes Let them
choose their own career options on their own Help
them know what they like to study and what they want
to do in their life So dont pressurize students for
what they dont like and encourage them in what they
do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the
country

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B
Life is all about interactions You meet people and
you interact You observe them consciously or sub-
consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us
more than we even realise Some people leave a last-
ing impression on us and entirely change the course of
life for better or for worse Some people influence us
help us go further and make all the difference
I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-
tial people They have taken care of me ever since I
came into this world They are the ones who wish the
best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-
cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel
no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-
come a part of my personality They are the ones who
helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me
to be better
When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are
the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-
takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique
learning experience It has made me realise how eve-
rything they do has a reason They are the ones who
have taught me the importance of the little things in
life They are the ones who have helped me recognize
and follow my passion The very thought of them not
being a part of my life is scary to the least as without
them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am
today and whatever I have achieved is all because of
them and I am very grateful of that
Eyesight
-Aditi Shenoy VIII-F
The tired little girl went to bed
Recollecting the days bygone
Seeing them in her dreams
As the day she was born
Trying to see the world
With her little eyes
But the sun with his brightness
Wouldnt let her catch the sights
The girl still eager
And curious to see the world around her
Again opened her eyes
But her vision was blurred
Still she did not lose hope
Which flowed through her blood
Encouraging and pushing her
To see the world further
Her heart beating fast
Her enthusiasm increasing
She slowly tried to see
With her eyes continuously blinking
Starting to lose hope
She was ready to give up
But curiosity got the upper hand
And pushed her forward
With her hope again rising
and strength in her eyesight
She is finally seeing the world
With wide open eyes

Conquering the space
-Marisha Nath VIII-C
ldquoThere is no failure in Science it is only continual
effort to conquer the unknown On the way even if we
face failure it rather adds more value to our effort for
our next journey to know the unknownrdquo
Chandrayan-2 Indiarsquos Moon Mission The dream of
entire India to land on moon and become the 4th Na-
tion in the world to put its flag on the soil of moon
after USSR USA amp China
ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launched
Chandrayan-2 on 22nd July 2019 from Bengaluru
(Satish Dhawan Space Center) under the command of
ISRO chief K Shivan It consists of ORBITER
LANDER amp Lunar Rover PRAGYAN Like Chandra-
yan-1(22nd Oct2008) it was Indiarsquos indigenous moon
mission
It touched the Moon Surface on Saturday early morn-
ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-
ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-
ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of
moon it lost contact with the ground station Because
of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be
monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m
(approx) away from its assigned location near
SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still
orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange
signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it
The ORBITER which will remain active for another
12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-
owed portion of the moon for the first time in history
with the help of its high-resolution camera
The entire Nation irrespective of their field of
knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front
of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of
VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true
Indians who always dream progress and development
of their motherland But our heart never accepts this
as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement
for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-
pose of our mission
But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at
this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring
country quoting this as a big failure on part of India
blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos
money on this
Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will
be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to
this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other
nations on such missions
Further I should say that India is not new in the field
of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-
TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975
It was named after famous scientist of ancient India
ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested
for the first time the HELIOCENTRIC THEORY
(Sun at the center and all planets revolve around the
Sun) of the Solar System much earlier than ready for
New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 57
COPERNICUS as believed in the western world
Other countries might have moon on their flags but
we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is
great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are
whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-
rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is
only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the
unknown and its continual application for the benefit
of the mankind)rdquo
Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by
various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-
PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-
cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958
onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as
46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was
attempted out of which only 21 was successful
Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-
tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the
overall attempts conducted by other Nations
USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-
NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was
planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January
SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR
successfully on moon
NASA after many attempts was successful to send
first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th
July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk
on moon
Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-
clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-
SION MANGAL for our next moon mission

Travelling Aaryan Aggarwal IX - B
Travelling is an experience It doesnrsquot matter where
you travel Every place is great in its own ways You
could go to a culturally rich yet underdeveloped place
or you could go to an advanced metropolitan place
You could travel slow paced or you could be adven-
turous and go off the beaten path You could go to the
beach you could go to a museum It wonrsquot matter as
wherever you go you will always get a new and
different experience The experiences will open your
mind to a whole new world and culture which will
change your understanding and preconceived notions
about that place You will also get an opportunity to
detoxify yourself from social media Thus I believe
that travelling is more than just a hobby and can
change your entire thought process and state of
mind
Wallflower
- Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
She lived under a rock
More by force than by will
She lived there so long
She had nothing to fight with
All these people pushing her down
Her feeble frame could fight no long
She vowed to never stop the struggle
Until she had on her temples the crown
Declaring to the world her change
after years bygone
From being the young shy girl they saw
But all this struggle slowly had her crumbling
As she withered her dreams fading
Cause promises are sometimes left undone
When fate decides to yield a gun
And the world never saw the light
Of a wallflower wishing to shine so bright
Being Myself -Nidhi Mishra VIII-G
I did never lie to myself
Never strived to be someone else
And so I never shy
To look myself straight in the eye
I did never hide myself
And lavish a priceless gift
Having lsquolifersquo as its spell
Being myself Irsquoll uplift
Life is too short
Donrsquot be someone else
A onetime offer we have got
Even more precious than a thousand jewels

Women Empowerment - Devangi Dongre VII-B
The abilities of women in making decisions educa-
tion and profession have been largely suppressed
since ages considering them inferior to men The sit-
uation is worst in underdeveloped and developing na-
tions where women in a family are not allowed to
take financial decisions or decide on matters regard-
ing their own educationWith such state of affairs it
would be a fallacy to dream about the goals of sus-
tainable development and gender equality There is an
instant need to take measures to lift the social
personal and professional
status of women bringing
them shoulder to shoulder
with men These particular
measures constitute a pro-
cess which is known as ldquoWomen Empowermentrdquo
Providing better education and employment opportu-
nities to women ensuring their better health provid-
ing justice and ensuring professional equivalence are
the few methods of women empowerment

LunaVenture Beyond Horizons
- Aaryan Aggarwal IX-B
He looked from afar at his towering creation A re-
mote island in the Pacific Ocean seemed like a great
refuge after what had been happening on the Earth
He chose secrecy as his mission had raised many eye-
brows The plan was simple lsquoEscape and start overrsquo
Right now Moon seemed to be the most viable option
in terms of survival The research had been done
Moon was habitable So close to our abode our cos-
mic neighbor the Moon must exist for a reason It-
will not just be a secondary habitat but also be a step-
ping stone for further progress
His meticulously crafted plan was now just minutes
away from execution A team of four explorers would
first leave Earth and explore the Moon to test his hy-
pothesis Once a temporary col-
ony using genetically engi-
neered pods containing human
embryos is set up they would
further analyze the surroundings and find ways to
make it more habitable The lesser gravitational pull
which allowed for a comparatively lower escape ve-
locity made it easier to transport resources from the
Earth or the ISS Sure it would be difficult at first
Earth is unmatched but he knew it was for the greater
good of mankind It would mean more opportunities
and help us understand our place in this universe
Right now we have confined ourselves in a box and
this is the only way to leave it and unleash the won-
ders of the universe In front of his eyes it flew never
to come back

Television Pros and Cons
- Soumya Sheth
What do most of the people do these days to entertain
themselvesEveryone likes to switch ON their televi-
sion sets which is one of the exceptional inventions of
science When our Dads come home tired after office
the first thing they would like to do is switch On the
TV and relax while watching it from his sofa seat
This is because while watching different things that
are broadcasted on TV we forget our worries and re-
grets of the day
However like every good and popular inventions tel-
evision also has its set of some worrying habits that
people get hitched to For example sometimes kids
watch it for extensive time thereby affecting their
studies This is one of the most worrying habit for par-
ents and we should know that ignoring studies is not
good for our future and studying is as much important
for us at this tender age more than anything elseItrsquos
true that television can bring us the knowledge from
across the world We can see different parts of the
world virtually sitting at the same place But we
should know how
we can use this
incredible inven-
tion of science in
the right and bene-
ficial way for us Now-a-days Smart TVs have be-
come even more popular We can even use internet on
those TVs Use Google to search for answers we donrsquot
know use YouTube to understand how things are
made or get our doubts cleared and much much more
To summarize it I would like to urge all my fellow
students to use this precious invention of science in a
way that will benefit you to gain constructive
knowledge and avoid destructive knowledge We
should know that television is not the world but only a
small component of this world Please know that there
are other things in life which we should enjoy too
along with giving utmost importance to our studies

The night before the final examination
-Marisha Nath VIII- C
The night before the final examination appears to all
examinees as the night before the Battle of Waterloo
might have appeared to Napoleon or the Duke of Wel-
lington Our system of education being what it is we
examinees are bound to be anxious about the nature of
the nature of the questions we will have to answer
next day Even an earnest student who has done all
that needs be done by way of nervousness uncertainty
and suspense on the night before the examination The
morning of the examination finds them prostate with
nervous disorder
But this is one side the picture There are students
who may be described as soldiers of fortune They are
daredevil youngsters who do not take their examina-
tions seriously But their lack of preparation is more
than made up for by the short cuts or bazar notes they
have provided themselves with Even on the night
before the examina-
tion they would be
going about their
daily rounds They
may be found in the parks cafes and restaurants talk-
ing about tips ndashtalking glibly and confidently about
what questions are sure to come The morning of the
examination finds them as cheerful as they were on
the night before
What is needed most is self-confidence and a cool
head True we do not remember all that we have read
when we go to the Examination Hall This does not
mean that we have forgotten them Many things re-
main in the sub ndashconscious region They jump into
consciousness when we face the questions and seri-
ously think of the answers Often such answers score
more marks than prepared ones
Elegance

Elegant you be for the universe to learn your versatility
Brighter you shine the orb will know your sustenance

Apparently it seems your flawless abundance
The ideal triumph mustnrsquot be exaggerated

Elegant you be for the universe to learn your versatility
How can you be silent if you donrsquot know your efficiency
One of the values to become successful is simplicity
Through elegance letrsquos spread positivist

Chocoland - Talreja Aastha IV-J
Once I had been to the Chocolate Land
Chocolate all around to the reach of my hand
Toffees candies lollies and bars
In my mouth a crunchy munchy war
White dark nutty and sweet
Just like a dreamy treat
Colourful wrapper shiny and bright
Which one to choose which would be right
Houses made of chocolates and doors made of bars
And out stood there a chocolate car
Soon after it was 6 oclock
And could hear the doorrsquos knock
I woke up in a hurry
Just to realise that it was a dream

to criticize everyone and the ant which was the tiniest
among them was very happy and cheerful It used to
help everyone I its own way
All the animals in the forest used to complain about
the egoistic elephant So one day when the ant saw the
elephant walking towards it it immediately thought of
a plan As soon as the elephant came near the ant
said ldquoHello My friendrdquo but the elephant replied rude-
ly saying ldquoYou tiny
ant Get off my way
otherwise yoursquoll get
crushed to deathrdquo
Hearing this ant
challenged the elephant sayingrdquo My big friend I can
make you cryrdquo The ant quickly climbed onto the trunk
of the elephant and ran towards its earit went inside
the ear and started biting the elephants ear The ele-
phant tried to flap its ears but in vain After a few
minutes tears started rolling down its eyes It cried
ldquoPlease come out of my ear I canrsquot bear the painrdquo As
soon as the ant came out the elephant apologized for
its mistake and didnrsquot tease any animals from that day
Grandparents
-Aditya Patil VIII-E
The best place in vacation
A heaven like destination
Their love for us is endless
All their sacrifices are worthless
Great is their surrounding divinity
In front of our ordinary identity
To your grandparents never be rude
Because they are your
coolest dude
They yell at our parents
when we are shouted
With generosity and be-
nevolence they are bounded
Be sure to always meet your grandparents once in a
while and enhance yourself by their presence

Women Empowerment
- Devangi Dongre VII-B
The abilities of women in making decisions education and profession have
been largely suppressed since ages considering them inferior to men The situa-
tion is worst in underdeveloped and developing nations where women in a fami-
ly are not allowed to take financial decisions or decide on matters regarding their own education
With such state of affairs it would be a fallacy to dream about the goals of sustainable development and gen-
der equality There is an instant need to take measures to lift the social personal and professional status of
women bringing them shoulder to shoulder with men These particular measures constitute a process which
is known as ldquoWomen Empowermentrdquo Providing better education and employment opportunities to women
ensuring their better health providing justice and ensuring professional equivalence are the few methods of
women empowerment
Water Conservation
- Paarth Bhagat VII-J
Water is life If there was no water there would be no
life Hence water is the precious gift of God to mother
Earth We cannot imagine our lives without water
We human beings are made up of water it is the only
transportation medium that carries the food molecules
and oxygen to the cells of every body parts to help the
blood It signifies that water is the most essential in-
gredient to the functioning of life of every organism
So you see living this wonderful life is impossible
without water
Water is the force behind all the industry agriculture
manufacturing and trade and commerce All forms of
energy generation is done using water Be it hydroe-
lectrically projects or thermal power plant or nuclear
power plant water is
the key ingredient in
all of them There
would be no power
without water No
water no life
So it is our responsibility to conserve this life nectar
It is possible only through by changing our outlook
towards this wonderful natural resource We must en-
sure there is no pollution of water bodies by dumping
any waste such as sewage effluents and other toxic
substances We must also ensure there is no emission
of green-house gases into the atmosphere The people
and the government must ensure installation of efflu-
ents and smoke treatment plants at industrial garbage
and sewage units

The kind Fairies -Aditys Patil VIII-E
This story starts with two beautiful babies in a king-
dom called fairyland The babies were very pretty
Their names were Ovi and Riddhi They were growing
pretty well As they grew they became more and
more pretty Over and over they were also fairies and
within 5 years they became young girls Their mother
told them to go to school The girls askedwhere are
the schools There are no schools here Mother said
dont worry you will go to the planet Earth On the
planet Earth there is a very good school named New
Horizon Public School and the short form is nhps We
said ok On the first day of our school we were very
afraid but after a few days we
became more smart than the
others We were getting a lot of
prizes which we shared with
eveyone in the school This
made us and others happy One day We became the
princess of fairyland Our wings were like a rainbow
We were twins and had very long hairs Now I end
my story with a beautiful quote
ALWAYS HELP EACH OTHER LIKE THE
FARIES BECAUSE HELPING PEOPLE IS THE
PATH TO GOD
The Day Irsquoll Never Forget - Saranya Sarangi VII -
It was a day of love and affection
There was no visible sign of caution
But something unfortunate was going to happen
Nobody knew where and when
There was a blast at half past three
In a beauty land called Paradise On Earth
A complete silence and pity hadnrsquot the thee
Perished laid the martyrs
Whom our motherland gave birth
I still remember that scaring sight
The scattered limbs I couldnrsquot see
My heart got filled with grief and fright
No Indian could glee
Terribly writhing the soldiers were seen
Some families languished and some
were crying
So loyal to their country they had been
None of their families were mollifying
Whatever homage to our martyrs we pay
Tiny before their they lay
Salute to their tribute to motherland
To protect us they always walked hand in hand
Little Birdie - Marisha Nath VIII-C
I am a little birdie in the sky
With two wings to fly
I never disturb you
I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom
O human Then why do you steal my FREEDOM
Binding me alone in the cage makes me sad
Donrsquot you know caging a bird is bad
Looking at the sky
I wish I could fly
I never disturb you
I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom
O human Then why do you steal my
FREEDOM

Summers in India - Saranya Sarangi VIII
A hot season beginning from April till May is what we
call summer And thatrsquos the basic rule in India But
thatrsquos not something through which we can define
summers in our country India The sun shining high
above the head increasing the heat and this scorching
heat is something very unique about summers in India
Those ice-lolly stalls roaming down the streets tin-
kling their tiny bells is something special one will nev-
er find in any other country Many people love this
season
Especially the children as they get to eat ice-creams
Many people even donrsquot As they feel that this season
can only make a person dehydrated exhausted and irri-
tated Summer as we think as an unfruitful season is
contrast in reality Schools conduct summer camps
during vacation where stu-
dents can join different aca-
demic and co-curricular
courses to improve them-
selves Many children even spend time with their fami-
lies
Often families plan trips to different places as they get
a very long vacation during this season But now-a-
days due to increasing heat these pleasant summers
are becoming unbearable Every just sweat and sweat
We get a lethargic feeling not ready to do any work
Due to this heat we continually keep the ACs on which
consume a lot of electricity creating trouble for our
mother Earth and us Gradually that charm of the
unique kind of summers will be lost if precautions are
not taken We must really hope and work hard to bring
back our lovely lsquoSummers in Indiarsquo
Exams are good or bad
- Nupoor Teli VIIIndashI
In my humble opinionexams are apressure on the stu-
dents They are forced to study and score good
markswhich can lead to frustration An environmentof
competitivenessof standing first is created for which
students keep on studying day and night without any
recreation It is good to studybut not just for the sake
of gaining marks
Why do we study What is the main intention behind
education Seeking intersresting and fascinating
knowledge as well as facts about the world But now-a
-daysthe main reason for studying is gaining marks If
there are no marksno career andno success This is the
mindset of 70 people of the worldespecially parents
They pressurize their children so much that they get
depressed or sometimes attempt suicide as well
Every two months an exam is conducted Moreo-
verthere are projectssubject-enrichment activi-
tieschapter test sfter every topicnotebookfile submis
sion etcAnd as acherry on top
of the cakewe have the semes-
ter exams of eighty marks as
well What all will the students
do And even if any extra-
curricular activities are being learntthen more extra
studies Just studystudy and study
Why so much of tension on the children Under this
tension only they start cheating As time passes cheat-
ing becomes a habit of their life
I fell that exams should be conducted once a term in
order to evaluate whether the students are clear with
the concepts or notThey shouldnt be pressurized for
their marksbut should be made understand their mis-
takes Let them choose their own career options on
their own Help them knowwhat they like to study and
what they want to do in their life So dont pressurize
students for what they dont likeand encourage them in
what they do After allthey are only the Rising stars of
the country

Life is magical - Piyush Sahoo VII-H
A new day or a new night
Everything in life seems bright
A new morning or a new evening
Life is full of happening
A life is just like a kite
It may disappear in a sight
Life moves from baby to old
Make your life challenging and bold
Enjoy life the fullest
Never accept less than best
Unlikely life comes to an end
But remember never to bend
Happy sadness victory and loss
Accept it the way it comes
Life can be at times tragical
But make it the most beautiful
Life is magicalhellip
Life is so magicalhellip
Humility -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
Humility is having a heart to treat others with respect
and love Considering people worthy of your love
time and efforts regardless of who they are or what
they have done A person is truly humble when they
are willing to work hard for others expecting nothing
in return
Humility has the power to change a personrsquos perspec-
tive towards life It can make a difference in the way a
person is looked upon by others Doing an act of hum-
bleness can make a personrsquos day Humility is about
not having an ego or considering things below your
dignity or considering yourself greater than others
People often confuse humility with self-respect They
canrsquot make out the difference between being useful to
others and being used by others
It takes courage to be humble
because in the era in which we
live humility is looked upon as
weakness People assume yoursquore not strong enough to
stand up for yourself They think you surrender in-
stead of protesting They will despise and scorn you
but they donrsquot know that you take pleasure in what
you do because they havenrsquot experienced that kind of
joy
So if you do have humility donrsquot draw back from it
because of what others think Whatever you are doing
is for the good of others and you have no need to be
ashamed of that Humbleness will spread from person
to person Who knows maybe your one act of humili-
ty will spread on to help a person in need So be brave
be humble
Mom -Tanvi Sawant VII-C
Oh mom I came to this beautiful world just because
of youhellip
Mom what would I do without you
Oh mom there are thorns on the way
But you manage to get me awayhellip
Oh mom I canrsquot say how much yoursquore to me
Mom just promise me that yoursquoll and
always be with mehellip
Oh mom this world is incomplete
without you
Just like the sky without itrsquos bright color bluehellip
Oh mom yoursquore the candle that showed the way in the
dark
My dear mom you made my life spark

OUR FUTURE EARTH - Hiya Purswani VIII-B
We all know the present condition of our environment
around us Inspite of advanced and modern technolo-
gy we humans are still not able to find a solution
Early humans neither they had much technology nor
they had enough intelligence but still in the early ages
the environment was clean making it the reason for
the increasing life span of humans Its a shocking
news to know that the amount of plastic bottles pro-
duced now may lead to increase in plastic pollution
and cause several death Its a great opportunity to be
as a human in this beautiful earth and so its our re-
sponsibility to make it clean In monsoon people cut
down trees to prevent accidents to occur but do we
plant trees in summer to prevent more global warm-
ing We can prevent bad things to happen but not can-
not take that much effort for good things to spread
Have you ever wondered while seeing a tap open how
many taps are left open at the same time in the whole
world It might sound unbelievable there can be a
World War III on water land and fresh air The way
we are thinking about the wastage of water may lead
us to a massive pain Itrsquos truly said by Warren Buffet
sometimes to buy things we need we have to sell
things we do not need This happens in the case of
lacking of intelligence We say every scholar is a true
genius but in my
opinion a person is
genius if he has the
ability to save and
change things in his
own way We all have the ability to save this earth
but our thoughts our ego and our greediness is stop-
ping us to think in a better way Everyone has a good
and a bad side in his life What matters is the part we
choose to act upon This is an excellent thought said
by Sirius Black in the movie Harry Potter Itrsquos time to
bring a change We always have time to do good
things all we need is hope Spreading awareness is the
best idea to bring a change If everyone stops thinking
about their economical needs and start contributing
towards the environment by planting more trees cer-
tainly there will be a beneficial change in this world
Neither do we think about the future nor care about
the present Why not be an optimist and think in a
positive way of life Our studies our needs our
knowledge will not help us in any way if we donʼt
change Its not that easy to plant a tree and care for it a
whole year if we only plant it with all our love nature
is certainly going to care for it Lastly I would like to
end with a quoterdquo Come forth in the light of things
nature will be your teacher
The Small Hours Pranjal Anil Chavan V-C
No more my little song Come back
And now of nights I lay my head on down
to watch the black
And wait the unfailing gray
Oh Sad are winter nights and slow
And sad is a song thatrsquos dumb
And sad it is to lie I know
Another dawn will come

Floods and Destruction
- Nirvi Soni IV-H
India faces occurrence of floods each year in some
parts of Assam during the rainy season Water of river
Brahmaputra rises and enters into many villages
causing great destruction Floods are unavoidable but
we need to take precautions in the following ways by
reducing mining activities building dams growing
more trees etc During floods the weather becomes
wet and gloomy Trees and plants get uprooted This
way floods cause great de-
struction to both life and
property It also becomes dif-
ficult to travel from place to
place Many people are left
homeless The rain water should be harvested and
stored in large storage tanks The harvested rainwater
can be used for washing clothes and cleaning By us-
ing rain water in our daily life we can preserve water
resources
Good Morning Everyone -Vyomi ThakkarVI - H
Come with me wersquoll have some fun
Wersquoll go on a walk
Donrsquot worry will have a great talk
Roaming around the ground
With beautiful birdrsquos sound
We donrsquot know if anything will be found
Wersquoll surely find the crown
Up on the chilled mountain
We saw a beautiful fountain
Surrounded by a beautiful castle
Decorated with the colourful tassel
Just be quiet and keen
Soon you will be the queen
Think before you speak
-Shravya Atreya IX-D
Think before you speak
There are hearts you must please
Think before you speak
You canrsquot undo the harm done after you squeak
Think before you speak
You might have done greater harm than you might
think
Think before you speak
There are still places left for you
to seek
Think before you speak
There is a long way to go before
you sleep
Think before you speak
There are hearts you must
please

Everything is fine

GLOBAL WARMING - Adhyant Singh VII-F
Global warming refers to the steady rise in the Earthrsquos mean temperature The effect of global
warming had come into sight when polar ice caps started melting this phenomena is called ICE ndash
ALBEDO the ice caps melt faster due to the rise in the temperature This sudden rise in the temperature near
the poles began in 1999 The polar ice caps in Antarctica melt at the rate of 400000000000 tons per year ac-
cording to some scientists it would approximately take 5000 years to melt the total ice on earth In 2013 Inter-
governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) stated that the main cause of Global warming is human inter-
vention like emission of Green house gases like Carbon-Di-Oxide nitrous oxide and methane
These gases trap the heat which is reflected by the Earthrsquos surface thus increasing the temperature and also
destroying the ozone layer which prevents the ultraviolet rays of the sun from reaching the earthrsquos surface Al-
so burning fossil fuel contributes to the problem Effects of global warming have also led to the increase in the
sea level and extreme weather like heat waves and change in the regional pattern of precipitation and the ex-
pansion of desserts A concentrated and focused effort by the entire humanity can curb down the impact of
Global warming and also prevent it Planting more trees to control the amount of carbon-di-oxide eliminating
the use of chlorofluorocarbon or (CFCrsquoS) are a few steps All the countries have signed up with the United Na-
tions Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to prevent the doomsday of Earth So to prevent
earthrsquos doomsday we all must work together
Itrsquos not too late there is still timehellipBefore the earth ends and we whinehellipSo keep on marching and planting
greens To end Global Warming and Make our planet greenhellip

Why is it they donrsquot know

Instagram wonrsquot give you a job

The Night - Matangi Rajesh VII-D
Its the night
The moon is white
When we switch off the light
What a beautiful sight
After this comes the sun bright
There is no more artificial light
This is the time to start your diet
To go for a run wearing tights
Then comes the evening when
you have snacks light
And fly a big colorful kite
or include your sibling in a pillow fight
Again comes the night
A moon which is white
We switch off the light
A beautiful sight

Hyperloop -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
Human inventions have baffled the world They are
innumerable ranging from revolutionizing
smartphones to not-so-breathtaking ice cream cones
but they play a role in our life just the same The
things which are commonplace to us now were unbe-
knownst to people once upon a time For the people of
the 19th century the car was a thing of the future until
in 1885 Karl Benz ran his first car on the road Then
for centuries people took the prospect of of flying like
the birds as only a wild possibility which was made
possible in 1903 when the Wright Brothers flew the
first plane
What is the thing of the future for us Well we are the
future modifying and bettering the things that have
been made and crating stuff that we didnt even dare
to imagine about The Hyperloop fulfills both aspects
of the definition a very advanced model of our faith-
ful train and yet a brand new idea to scale greater
heights The Hyperloop is an ideal mode of efficient
transport Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane
with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing
speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt have to
ace the two types of friction that every other vehicle
has to face Air resistance and ground friction The
pods of the Hyperloop are propelled through a depres-
surized tub Since it is almost vacuum very little air
resistance can be offered inside the tube Due to this
the energy required to travel is also very less The Hy-
perloops unique technology uses magnetic levitation
to guide and lift the pods of the rail Since the pod is
not in contact with the ground there is no friction act-
ing on itThe first Hyperloop ndash virgin Hyperloop one
is set to run with passengers as early as 2021 and is
created by SpaceX and Tesla
The mastermind behind the Hyperloop is Elon Musk
who first published a 58 page white-paper on the web-
site of his company-Space X It was available to all
and was titled Hyperloop alpha The Hyperloop may
be the pioneer of a whole new era of transportation
traveling a distance which would otherwise take 12
hours in just I hour it has crossed all known bounda-
ries and created higher limits for us to reach and reach
we must for when time is money and money is time
an option that saves both needs to be used
Exams are good or bad -Nupoor Teli VIII
In my humble opinion exams are pressure on the stu-
dents They are forced to study and score good marks
which can lead to frustration An environment of com-
petitiveness of standing first is created for which stu-
dents keep on studying day and night without any rec-
reation It is good to study but not just for the sake of
gaining marks
Why do we study What is the main intention behind
education Seeking interesting and fascinating
knowledge as well as facts about the world But now-a
-days the main reason for studying is gaining marks
If there are no marks no career and no success This
is the mindset of 70 people of the world especially
parents They pressurize their children so much that
they get depressed or sometimes attempt suicide as
wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-
ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities
chapter test after every topic notebookfile submis-
sion etc And as cherry on top of the cake we have the
semester exams of eighty marks as well What all will
the students do And even if any extra-curricular ac-
tivities are being learnt then more extra studies Just
study study and study
Why so much of tension on the children Under this
tension only they start cheating As time passes cheat-
ing becomes a habit of their lifeI fell that exams
should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate
whether the students are clear with the concepts or
not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but
should be made understand their mistakes Let them
choose their own career options on their own Help
them know what they like to study and what they want
to do in their life So dont pressurize students for
what they dont like and encourage them in what they
do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the
country

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B
Life is all about interactions You meet people and
you interact You observe them consciously or sub-
consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us
more than we even realise Some people leave a last-
ing impression on us and entirely change the course of
life for better or for worse Some people influence us
help us go further and make all the difference
I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-
tial people They have taken care of me ever since I
came into this world They are the ones who wish the
best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-
cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel
no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-
come a part of my personality They are the ones who
helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me
to be better
When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are
the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-
takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique
learning experience It has made me realise how eve-
rything they do has a reason They are the ones who
have taught me the importance of the little things in
life They are the ones who have helped me recognize
and follow my passion The very thought of them not
being a part of my life is scary to the least as without
them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am
today and whatever I have achieved is all because of
them and I am very grateful of that
Eyesight
-Aditi Shenoy VIII-F
The tired little girl went to bed
Recollecting the days bygone
Seeing them in her dreams
As the day she was born
Trying to see the world
With her little eyes
But the sun with his brightness
Wouldnt let her catch the sights
The girl still eager
And curious to see the world around her
Again opened her eyes
But her vision was blurred
Still she did not lose hope
Which flowed through her blood
Encouraging and pushing her
To see the world further
Her heart beating fast
Her enthusiasm increasing
She slowly tried to see
With her eyes continuously blinking
Starting to lose hope
She was ready to give up
But curiosity got the upper hand
And pushed her forward
With her hope again rising
and strength in her eyesight
She is finally seeing the world
With wide open eyes

Conquering the space
-Marisha Nath VIII-C
ldquoThere is no failure in Science it is only continual
effort to conquer the unknown On the way even if we
face failure it rather adds more value to our effort for
our next journey to know the unknownrdquo
Chandrayan-2 Indiarsquos Moon Mission The dream of
entire India to land on moon and become the 4th Na-
tion in the world to put its flag on the soil of moon
after USSR USA amp China
ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launched
Chandrayan-2 on 22nd July 2019 from Bengaluru
(Satish Dhawan Space Center) under the command of
ISRO chief K Shivan It consists of ORBITER
LANDER amp Lunar Rover PRAGYAN Like Chandra-
yan-1(22nd Oct2008) it was Indiarsquos indigenous moon
mission
It touched the Moon Surface on Saturday early morn-
ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-
ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-
ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of
moon it lost contact with the ground station Because
of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be
monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m
(approx) away from its assigned location near
SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still
orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange
signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it
The ORBITER which will remain active for another
12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-
owed portion of the moon for the first time in history
with the help of its high-resolution camera
The entire Nation irrespective of their field of
knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front
of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of
VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true
Indians who always dream progress and development
of their motherland But our heart never accepts this
as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement
for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-
pose of our mission
But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at
this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring
country quoting this as a big failure on part of India
blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos
money on this
Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will
be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to
this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other
nations on such missions
Further I should say that India is not new in the field
of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-
TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975
It was named after famous scientist of ancient India
ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested
for the first time the HELIOCENTRIC THEORY
(Sun at the center and all planets revolve around the
Sun) of the Solar System much earlier than ready for
New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 57
COPERNICUS as believed in the western world
Other countries might have moon on their flags but
we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is
great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are
whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-
rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is
only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the
unknown and its continual application for the benefit
of the mankind)rdquo
Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by
various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-
PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-
cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958
onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as
46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was
attempted out of which only 21 was successful
Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-
tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the
overall attempts conducted by other Nations
USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-
NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was
planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January
SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR
successfully on moon
NASA after many attempts was successful to send
first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th
July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk
on moon
Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-
clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-
SION MANGAL for our next moon mission

Travelling Aaryan Aggarwal IX - B
Travelling is an experience It doesnrsquot matter where
you travel Every place is great in its own ways You
could go to a culturally rich yet underdeveloped place
or you could go to an advanced metropolitan place
You could travel slow paced or you could be adven-
turous and go off the beaten path You could go to the
beach you could go to a museum It wonrsquot matter as
wherever you go you will always get a new and
different experience The experiences will open your
mind to a whole new world and culture which will
change your understanding and preconceived notions
about that place You will also get an opportunity to
detoxify yourself from social media Thus I believe
that travelling is more than just a hobby and can
change your entire thought process and state of
mind
Wallflower
- Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
She lived under a rock
More by force than by will
She lived there so long
She had nothing to fight with
All these people pushing her down
Her feeble frame could fight no long
She vowed to never stop the struggle
Until she had on her temples the crown
Declaring to the world her change
after years bygone
From being the young shy girl they saw
But all this struggle slowly had her crumbling
As she withered her dreams fading
Cause promises are sometimes left undone
When fate decides to yield a gun
And the world never saw the light
Of a wallflower wishing to shine so bright
Being Myself -Nidhi Mishra VIII-G
I did never lie to myself
Never strived to be someone else
And so I never shy
To look myself straight in the eye
I did never hide myself
And lavish a priceless gift
Having lsquolifersquo as its spell
Being myself Irsquoll uplift
Life is too short
Donrsquot be someone else
A onetime offer we have got
Even more precious than a thousand jewels

Women Empowerment - Devangi Dongre VII-B
The abilities of women in making decisions educa-
tion and profession have been largely suppressed
since ages considering them inferior to men The sit-
uation is worst in underdeveloped and developing na-
tions where women in a family are not allowed to
take financial decisions or decide on matters regard-
ing their own educationWith such state of affairs it
would be a fallacy to dream about the goals of sus-
tainable development and gender equality There is an
instant need to take measures to lift the social
personal and professional
status of women bringing
them shoulder to shoulder
with men These particular
measures constitute a pro-
cess which is known as ldquoWomen Empowermentrdquo
Providing better education and employment opportu-
nities to women ensuring their better health provid-
ing justice and ensuring professional equivalence are
the few methods of women empowerment

LunaVenture Beyond Horizons
- Aaryan Aggarwal IX-B
He looked from afar at his towering creation A re-
mote island in the Pacific Ocean seemed like a great
refuge after what had been happening on the Earth
He chose secrecy as his mission had raised many eye-
brows The plan was simple lsquoEscape and start overrsquo
Right now Moon seemed to be the most viable option
in terms of survival The research had been done
Moon was habitable So close to our abode our cos-
mic neighbor the Moon must exist for a reason It-
will not just be a secondary habitat but also be a step-
ping stone for further progress
His meticulously crafted plan was now just minutes
away from execution A team of four explorers would
first leave Earth and explore the Moon to test his hy-
pothesis Once a temporary col-
ony using genetically engi-
neered pods containing human
embryos is set up they would
further analyze the surroundings and find ways to
make it more habitable The lesser gravitational pull
which allowed for a comparatively lower escape ve-
locity made it easier to transport resources from the
Earth or the ISS Sure it would be difficult at first
Earth is unmatched but he knew it was for the greater
good of mankind It would mean more opportunities
and help us understand our place in this universe
Right now we have confined ourselves in a box and
this is the only way to leave it and unleash the won-
ders of the universe In front of his eyes it flew never
to come back

Make the Choice
-Nidhi Mishra VIII-G
My vision reflects its flaming intention
Irsquom steady upon the decision
About which Irsquoll never disclaim
Accepting the outcome never blame
To impulse refer those achieves
Itrsquos your resolve donrsquot quit
There wasnrsquot any lose that grieves
There was just a lesson in it

In the decision of mine
I possess optimism in myself
And so I believe everything
will be fine
Though it may be tough
To perceive ones way to success
A dose of victory isnrsquot enough

Television Pros and Cons
- Soumya Sheth
What do most of the people do these days to entertain
themselvesEveryone likes to switch ON their televi-
sion sets which is one of the exceptional inventions of
science When our Dads come home tired after office
the first thing they would like to do is switch On the
TV and relax while watching it from his sofa seat
This is because while watching different things that
are broadcasted on TV we forget our worries and re-
grets of the day
However like every good and popular inventions tel-
evision also has its set of some worrying habits that
people get hitched to For example sometimes kids
watch it for extensive time thereby affecting their
studies This is one of the most worrying habit for par-
ents and we should know that ignoring studies is not
good for our future and studying is as much important
for us at this tender age more than anything elseItrsquos
true that television can bring us the knowledge from
across the world We can see different parts of the
world virtually sitting at the same place But we
should know how
we can use this
incredible inven-
tion of science in
the right and bene-
ficial way for us Now-a-days Smart TVs have be-
come even more popular We can even use internet on
those TVs Use Google to search for answers we donrsquot
know use YouTube to understand how things are
made or get our doubts cleared and much much more
To summarize it I would like to urge all my fellow
students to use this precious invention of science in a
way that will benefit you to gain constructive
knowledge and avoid destructive knowledge We
should know that television is not the world but only a
small component of this world Please know that there
are other things in life which we should enjoy too
along with giving utmost importance to our studies

The night before the final examination
-Marisha Nath VIII- C
The night before the final examination appears to all
examinees as the night before the Battle of Waterloo
might have appeared to Napoleon or the Duke of Wel-
lington Our system of education being what it is we
examinees are bound to be anxious about the nature of
the nature of the questions we will have to answer
next day Even an earnest student who has done all
that needs be done by way of nervousness uncertainty
and suspense on the night before the examination The
morning of the examination finds them prostate with
nervous disorder
But this is one side the picture There are students
who may be described as soldiers of fortune They are
daredevil youngsters who do not take their examina-
tions seriously But their lack of preparation is more
than made up for by the short cuts or bazar notes they
have provided themselves with Even on the night
before the examina-
tion they would be
going about their
daily rounds They
may be found in the parks cafes and restaurants talk-
ing about tips ndashtalking glibly and confidently about
what questions are sure to come The morning of the
examination finds them as cheerful as they were on
the night before
What is needed most is self-confidence and a cool
head True we do not remember all that we have read
when we go to the Examination Hall This does not
mean that we have forgotten them Many things re-
main in the sub ndashconscious region They jump into
consciousness when we face the questions and seri-
ously think of the answers Often such answers score
more marks than prepared ones
Elegance
-Prajna VIII-D
Elegant you be for the universe to learn your versatility
Brighter you shine the orb will know your sustenance
The stars moons and clouds let know your dignity
Apparently it seems your flawless abundance
The ideal triumph mustnrsquot be exaggerated
Till you salve someonersquos hurt
Elegant you be for the universe to learn your versatility
How can you be silent if you donrsquot know your efficiency
One of the values to become successful is simplicity
Through elegance letrsquos spread positivist

Chocoland - Talreja Aastha IV-J
Once I had been to the Chocolate Land
Chocolate all around to the reach of my hand
Toffees candies lollies and bars
In my mouth a crunchy munchy war
White dark nutty and sweet
Just like a dreamy treat
Colourful wrapper shiny and bright
Which one to choose which would be right
Houses made of chocolates and doors made of bars
And out stood there a chocolate car
Soon after it was 6 oclock
And could hear the doorrsquos knock
I woke up in a hurry
Just to realise that it was a dream
Me Myself
- Tirtha Kiran Keni VII- G
I am naughty girl

nappy

I never know in future what I will be and where I will
be
But I surely know you will always love me
I am very lucky Shirley girl

The ant and the elephant
- SOUMEN RAO IV-E
Once upon a time in a forest there lived an ant and an
elephant The elephant was the biggest among all the
elephants So he was very proud of himself and used
to criticize everyone and the ant which was the tiniest
among them was very happy and cheerful It used to
help everyone I its own way
All the animals in the forest used to complain about
the egoistic elephant So one day when the ant saw the
elephant walking towards it it immediately thought of
a plan As soon as the elephant came near the ant
said ldquoHello My friendrdquo but the elephant replied rude-
ly saying ldquoYou tiny
ant Get off my way
otherwise yoursquoll get
crushed to deathrdquo
Hearing this ant
challenged the elephant sayingrdquo My big friend I can
make you cryrdquo The ant quickly climbed onto the trunk
of the elephant and ran towards its earit went inside
the ear and started biting the elephants ear The ele-
phant tried to flap its ears but in vain After a few
minutes tears started rolling down its eyes It cried
ldquoPlease come out of my ear I canrsquot bear the painrdquo As
soon as the ant came out the elephant apologized for
its mistake and didnrsquot tease any animals from that day
Grandparents
-Aditya Patil VIII-E
The best place in vacation
A heaven like destination
Their love for us is endless
All their sacrifices are worthless
Great is their surrounding divinity
In front of our ordinary identity
To your grandparents never be rude
Because they are your
coolest dude
They yell at our parents
when we are shouted
With generosity and be-
nevolence they are bounded
Be sure to always meet your grandparents once in a
while and enhance yourself by their presence

Water Conservation
- Paarth Bhagat VII-J
Water is life If there was no water there would be no
life Hence water is the precious gift of God to mother
Earth We cannot imagine our lives without water
We human beings are made up of water it is the only
transportation medium that carries the food molecules
and oxygen to the cells of every body parts to help the
blood It signifies that water is the most essential in-
gredient to the functioning of life of every organism
So you see living this wonderful life is impossible
without water
Water is the force behind all the industry agriculture
manufacturing and trade and commerce All forms of
energy generation is done using water Be it hydroe-
lectrically projects or thermal power plant or nuclear
power plant water is
the key ingredient in
all of them There
would be no power
without water No
water no life
So it is our responsibility to conserve this life nectar
It is possible only through by changing our outlook
towards this wonderful natural resource We must en-
sure there is no pollution of water bodies by dumping
any waste such as sewage effluents and other toxic
substances We must also ensure there is no emission
of green-house gases into the atmosphere The people
and the government must ensure installation of efflu-
ents and smoke treatment plants at industrial garbage
and sewage units

The kind Fairies -Aditys Patil VIII-E
This story starts with two beautiful babies in a king-
dom called fairyland The babies were very pretty
Their names were Ovi and Riddhi They were growing
pretty well As they grew they became more and
more pretty Over and over they were also fairies and
within 5 years they became young girls Their mother
told them to go to school The girls askedwhere are
the schools There are no schools here Mother said
dont worry you will go to the planet Earth On the
planet Earth there is a very good school named New
Horizon Public School and the short form is nhps We
said ok On the first day of our school we were very
afraid but after a few days we
became more smart than the
others We were getting a lot of
prizes which we shared with
eveyone in the school This
made us and others happy One day We became the
princess of fairyland Our wings were like a rainbow
We were twins and had very long hairs Now I end
my story with a beautiful quote
ALWAYS HELP EACH OTHER LIKE THE
FARIES BECAUSE HELPING PEOPLE IS THE
PATH TO GOD
The Day Irsquoll Never Forget - Saranya Sarangi VII -
It was a day of love and affection
There was no visible sign of caution
But something unfortunate was going to happen
Nobody knew where and when
There was a blast at half past three
In a beauty land called Paradise On Earth
A complete silence and pity hadnrsquot the thee
Perished laid the martyrs
Whom our motherland gave birth
I still remember that scaring sight
The scattered limbs I couldnrsquot see
My heart got filled with grief and fright
No Indian could glee
Terribly writhing the soldiers were seen
Some families languished and some
were crying
So loyal to their country they had been
None of their families were mollifying
Whatever homage to our martyrs we pay
Tiny before their they lay
Salute to their tribute to motherland
To protect us they always walked hand in hand
Little Birdie - Marisha Nath VIII-C
I am a little birdie in the sky
With two wings to fly
I never disturb you
I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom
O human Then why do you steal my FREEDOM
Binding me alone in the cage makes me sad
Donrsquot you know caging a bird is bad
Looking at the sky
I wish I could fly
I never disturb you
I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom
O human Then why do you steal my
FREEDOM

Summers in India - Saranya Sarangi VIII
A hot season beginning from April till May is what we
call summer And thatrsquos the basic rule in India But
thatrsquos not something through which we can define
summers in our country India The sun shining high
above the head increasing the heat and this scorching
heat is something very unique about summers in India
Those ice-lolly stalls roaming down the streets tin-
kling their tiny bells is something special one will nev-
er find in any other country Many people love this
season
Especially the children as they get to eat ice-creams
Many people even donrsquot As they feel that this season
can only make a person dehydrated exhausted and irri-
tated Summer as we think as an unfruitful season is
contrast in reality Schools conduct summer camps
during vacation where stu-
dents can join different aca-
demic and co-curricular
courses to improve them-
selves Many children even spend time with their fami-
lies
Often families plan trips to different places as they get
a very long vacation during this season But now-a-
days due to increasing heat these pleasant summers
are becoming unbearable Every just sweat and sweat
We get a lethargic feeling not ready to do any work
Due to this heat we continually keep the ACs on which
consume a lot of electricity creating trouble for our
mother Earth and us Gradually that charm of the
unique kind of summers will be lost if precautions are
not taken We must really hope and work hard to bring
back our lovely lsquoSummers in Indiarsquo
Exams are good or bad
- Nupoor Teli VIIIndashI
In my humble opinionexams are apressure on the stu-
dents They are forced to study and score good
markswhich can lead to frustration An environmentof
competitivenessof standing first is created for which
students keep on studying day and night without any
recreation It is good to studybut not just for the sake
of gaining marks
Why do we study What is the main intention behind
education Seeking intersresting and fascinating
knowledge as well as facts about the world But now-a
-daysthe main reason for studying is gaining marks If
there are no marksno career andno success This is the
mindset of 70 people of the worldespecially parents
They pressurize their children so much that they get
depressed or sometimes attempt suicide as well
Every two months an exam is conducted Moreo-
verthere are projectssubject-enrichment activi-
tieschapter test sfter every topicnotebookfile submis
sion etcAnd as acherry on top
of the cakewe have the semes-
ter exams of eighty marks as
well What all will the students
do And even if any extra-
curricular activities are being learntthen more extra
studies Just studystudy and study
Why so much of tension on the children Under this
tension only they start cheating As time passes cheat-
ing becomes a habit of their life
I fell that exams should be conducted once a term in
order to evaluate whether the students are clear with
the concepts or notThey shouldnt be pressurized for
their marksbut should be made understand their mis-
takes Let them choose their own career options on
their own Help them knowwhat they like to study and
what they want to do in their life So dont pressurize
students for what they dont likeand encourage them in
what they do After allthey are only the Rising stars of
the country

Life is magical - Piyush Sahoo VII-H
A new day or a new night
Everything in life seems bright
A new morning or a new evening
Life is full of happening
A life is just like a kite
It may disappear in a sight
Life moves from baby to old
Make your life challenging and bold
Enjoy life the fullest
Never accept less than best
Unlikely life comes to an end
But remember never to bend
Happy sadness victory and loss
Accept it the way it comes
Life can be at times tragical
But make it the most beautiful
Life is magicalhellip
Life is so magicalhellip
Humility -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
Humility is having a heart to treat others with respect
and love Considering people worthy of your love
time and efforts regardless of who they are or what
they have done A person is truly humble when they
are willing to work hard for others expecting nothing
in return
Humility has the power to change a personrsquos perspec-
tive towards life It can make a difference in the way a
person is looked upon by others Doing an act of hum-
bleness can make a personrsquos day Humility is about
not having an ego or considering things below your
dignity or considering yourself greater than others
People often confuse humility with self-respect They
canrsquot make out the difference between being useful to
others and being used by others
It takes courage to be humble
because in the era in which we
live humility is looked upon as
weakness People assume yoursquore not strong enough to
stand up for yourself They think you surrender in-
stead of protesting They will despise and scorn you
but they donrsquot know that you take pleasure in what
you do because they havenrsquot experienced that kind of
joy
So if you do have humility donrsquot draw back from it
because of what others think Whatever you are doing
is for the good of others and you have no need to be
ashamed of that Humbleness will spread from person
to person Who knows maybe your one act of humili-
ty will spread on to help a person in need So be brave
be humble
Mom -Tanvi Sawant VII-C

dark

Make a better home for you on me
Recycle things donrsquot throw them awayhellip

We all know the present condition of our environment
around us Inspite of advanced and modern technolo-
gy we humans are still not able to find a solution
Early humans neither they had much technology nor
they had enough intelligence but still in the early ages
the environment was clean making it the reason for
the increasing life span of humans Its a shocking
news to know that the amount of plastic bottles pro-
duced now may lead to increase in plastic pollution
and cause several death Its a great opportunity to be
as a human in this beautiful earth and so its our re-
sponsibility to make it clean In monsoon people cut
down trees to prevent accidents to occur but do we
plant trees in summer to prevent more global warm-
ing We can prevent bad things to happen but not can-
not take that much effort for good things to spread
Have you ever wondered while seeing a tap open how
many taps are left open at the same time in the whole
world It might sound unbelievable there can be a
World War III on water land and fresh air The way
we are thinking about the wastage of water may lead
us to a massive pain Itrsquos truly said by Warren Buffet
sometimes to buy things we need we have to sell
things we do not need This happens in the case of
lacking of intelligence We say every scholar is a true
genius but in my
opinion a person is
genius if he has the
ability to save and
change things in his
own way We all have the ability to save this earth
but our thoughts our ego and our greediness is stop-
ping us to think in a better way Everyone has a good
and a bad side in his life What matters is the part we
choose to act upon This is an excellent thought said
by Sirius Black in the movie Harry Potter Itrsquos time to
bring a change We always have time to do good
things all we need is hope Spreading awareness is the
best idea to bring a change If everyone stops thinking
about their economical needs and start contributing
towards the environment by planting more trees cer-
tainly there will be a beneficial change in this world
Neither do we think about the future nor care about
the present Why not be an optimist and think in a
positive way of life Our studies our needs our
knowledge will not help us in any way if we donʼt
change Its not that easy to plant a tree and care for it a
whole year if we only plant it with all our love nature
is certainly going to care for it Lastly I would like to
end with a quoterdquo Come forth in the light of things
nature will be your teacher
The Small Hours Pranjal Anil Chavan V-C
No more my little song Come back
And now of nights I lay my head on down
to watch the black
And wait the unfailing gray
Oh Sad are winter nights and slow
And sad is a song thatrsquos dumb
And sad it is to lie I know
Another dawn will come

Floods and Destruction
- Nirvi Soni IV-H
India faces occurrence of floods each year in some
parts of Assam during the rainy season Water of river
Brahmaputra rises and enters into many villages
causing great destruction Floods are unavoidable but
we need to take precautions in the following ways by
reducing mining activities building dams growing
more trees etc During floods the weather becomes
wet and gloomy Trees and plants get uprooted This
way floods cause great de-
struction to both life and
property It also becomes dif-
ficult to travel from place to
place Many people are left
homeless The rain water should be harvested and
stored in large storage tanks The harvested rainwater
can be used for washing clothes and cleaning By us-
ing rain water in our daily life we can preserve water
resources
Good Morning Everyone -Vyomi ThakkarVI - H
Come with me wersquoll have some fun
Wersquoll go on a walk
Donrsquot worry will have a great talk
Roaming around the ground
With beautiful birdrsquos sound
We donrsquot know if anything will be found
Wersquoll surely find the crown
Up on the chilled mountain
We saw a beautiful fountain
Surrounded by a beautiful castle
Decorated with the colourful tassel
Just be quiet and keen
Soon you will be the queen
Think before you speak
-Shravya Atreya IX-D
Think before you speak
There are hearts you must please
Think before you speak
You canrsquot undo the harm done after you squeak
Think before you speak
You might have done greater harm than you might
think
Think before you speak
There are still places left for you
to seek
Think before you speak
There is a long way to go before
you sleep
Think before you speak
There are hearts you must
please
Sunrise -Anuradha Singh VII-H
Over the glimmering purple sea
Under the golden sun rise
The Island dreams under the dawn
And the message is carried by the wind that blows
across the bitter sea
A sparrow sways upon a tree
staring at his own in the
enamelled sea
Everything is fine
With fading stars and rising light

GLOBAL WARMING - Adhyant Singh VII-F
Global warming refers to the steady rise in the Earthrsquos mean temperature The effect of global
warming had come into sight when polar ice caps started melting this phenomena is called ICE ndash
ALBEDO the ice caps melt faster due to the rise in the temperature This sudden rise in the temperature near
the poles began in 1999 The polar ice caps in Antarctica melt at the rate of 400000000000 tons per year ac-
cording to some scientists it would approximately take 5000 years to melt the total ice on earth In 2013 Inter-
governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) stated that the main cause of Global warming is human inter-
vention like emission of Green house gases like Carbon-Di-Oxide nitrous oxide and methane
These gases trap the heat which is reflected by the Earthrsquos surface thus increasing the temperature and also
destroying the ozone layer which prevents the ultraviolet rays of the sun from reaching the earthrsquos surface Al-
so burning fossil fuel contributes to the problem Effects of global warming have also led to the increase in the
sea level and extreme weather like heat waves and change in the regional pattern of precipitation and the ex-
pansion of desserts A concentrated and focused effort by the entire humanity can curb down the impact of
Global warming and also prevent it Planting more trees to control the amount of carbon-di-oxide eliminating
the use of chlorofluorocarbon or (CFCrsquoS) are a few steps All the countries have signed up with the United Na-
tions Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to prevent the doomsday of Earth So to prevent
earthrsquos doomsday we all must work together
Itrsquos not too late there is still timehellipBefore the earth ends and we whinehellipSo keep on marching and planting
greens To end Global Warming and Make our planet greenhellip
What will happen without Instagram
- Kaavya Chaudhary VII-F
Instagram Instagram Instagram
I was hearing it from everyone
I asked who was the inventor
Nobody knew the answer to my question
Mobiles Mobiles Mobiles
I was able to see them everywhere
I asked who was the inventor
Again nobody was aware
I wondered why was it like so
Why is it they donrsquot know
There was one time we were
engrossed in books
Now we care more about our looks
Instagram wonrsquot give you a job
You will have to study and top
Your fellow followers wonrsquot help either
If you donrsquot have a job no one will bother
I am a tree
- Yashawini Pillai
I am a tree
With a dark green crown

Above the ground
I give you food
I give you fruits
I give you medicine
I give you wood
I need some sunlight
And some fresh air
I need some water
And your loving care

The Night - Matangi Rajesh VII-D
Its the night
The moon is white
When we switch off the light
What a beautiful sight
After this comes the sun bright
There is no more artificial light
This is the time to start your diet
To go for a run wearing tights
Then comes the evening when
you have snacks light
And fly a big colorful kite
or include your sibling in a pillow fight
Again comes the night
A moon which is white
We switch off the light
A beautiful sight

A little known fact India today has end-to-end capabilities in space The country builds and launches its own
heavy duty rockets designs and fabricates some of the most sophisticated satellites In a singular achievement
Indiarsquos Mars Orbiter mission or Mangalyaan an unmanned satellite today racing to rendezvous with the red
planet making India a part of a select club of 6 that have dared to undertake the over 680 million kilometer
journey The Indian Space Research Organization ISRO is the Space Agency of Government of India head-
quartered in the city of Bengaluru Its vision is to ldquoharness space technology ldquofor na-
tional development while pursuing space science research and planter exploration
Some achievements of ISRO in 2017
Launching 104 satellites with one rocket
South Asia Satellite (GSAT- 9) launch
Launch of ISROrsquos Fat Boyrsquo
31 satellites in a single flight
Sending another communication satellite in the space
In 2009 Indians maiden mission to the moon Chandrayaan- 1 brought back the first clinching evidence of the
presence of water on the arched lunar surface In more down to the Earth missions Indian satellites are also
helping locate underground water aquifers for some of the poorest and marginal people of India In a way
Indiarsquos space technology is helping everyone

Hyperloop -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
Human inventions have baffled the world They are
innumerable ranging from revolutionizing
smartphones to not-so-breathtaking ice cream cones
but they play a role in our life just the same The
things which are commonplace to us now were unbe-
knownst to people once upon a time For the people of
the 19th century the car was a thing of the future until
in 1885 Karl Benz ran his first car on the road Then
for centuries people took the prospect of of flying like
the birds as only a wild possibility which was made
possible in 1903 when the Wright Brothers flew the
first plane
What is the thing of the future for us Well we are the
future modifying and bettering the things that have
been made and crating stuff that we didnt even dare
to imagine about The Hyperloop fulfills both aspects
of the definition a very advanced model of our faith-
ful train and yet a brand new idea to scale greater
heights The Hyperloop is an ideal mode of efficient
transport Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane
with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing
speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt have to
ace the two types of friction that every other vehicle
has to face Air resistance and ground friction The
pods of the Hyperloop are propelled through a depres-
surized tub Since it is almost vacuum very little air
resistance can be offered inside the tube Due to this
the energy required to travel is also very less The Hy-
perloops unique technology uses magnetic levitation
to guide and lift the pods of the rail Since the pod is
not in contact with the ground there is no friction act-
ing on itThe first Hyperloop ndash virgin Hyperloop one
is set to run with passengers as early as 2021 and is
created by SpaceX and Tesla
The mastermind behind the Hyperloop is Elon Musk
who first published a 58 page white-paper on the web-
site of his company-Space X It was available to all
and was titled Hyperloop alpha The Hyperloop may
be the pioneer of a whole new era of transportation
traveling a distance which would otherwise take 12
hours in just I hour it has crossed all known bounda-
ries and created higher limits for us to reach and reach
we must for when time is money and money is time
an option that saves both needs to be used
Exams are good or bad -Nupoor Teli VIII
In my humble opinion exams are pressure on the stu-
dents They are forced to study and score good marks
which can lead to frustration An environment of com-
petitiveness of standing first is created for which stu-
dents keep on studying day and night without any rec-
reation It is good to study but not just for the sake of
gaining marks
Why do we study What is the main intention behind
education Seeking interesting and fascinating
knowledge as well as facts about the world But now-a
-days the main reason for studying is gaining marks
If there are no marks no career and no success This
is the mindset of 70 people of the world especially
parents They pressurize their children so much that
they get depressed or sometimes attempt suicide as
wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-
ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities
chapter test after every topic notebookfile submis-
sion etc And as cherry on top of the cake we have the
semester exams of eighty marks as well What all will
the students do And even if any extra-curricular ac-
tivities are being learnt then more extra studies Just
study study and study
Why so much of tension on the children Under this
tension only they start cheating As time passes cheat-
ing becomes a habit of their lifeI fell that exams
should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate
whether the students are clear with the concepts or
not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but
should be made understand their mistakes Let them
choose their own career options on their own Help
them know what they like to study and what they want
to do in their life So dont pressurize students for
what they dont like and encourage them in what they
do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the
country

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B
Life is all about interactions You meet people and
you interact You observe them consciously or sub-
consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us
more than we even realise Some people leave a last-
ing impression on us and entirely change the course of
life for better or for worse Some people influence us
help us go further and make all the difference
I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-
tial people They have taken care of me ever since I
came into this world They are the ones who wish the
best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-
cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel
no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-
come a part of my personality They are the ones who
helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me
to be better
When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are
the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-
takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique
learning experience It has made me realise how eve-
rything they do has a reason They are the ones who
have taught me the importance of the little things in
life They are the ones who have helped me recognize
and follow my passion The very thought of them not
being a part of my life is scary to the least as without
them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am
today and whatever I have achieved is all because of
them and I am very grateful of that
Eyesight
-Aditi Shenoy VIII-F
The tired little girl went to bed
Recollecting the days bygone
Seeing them in her dreams
As the day she was born
Trying to see the world
With her little eyes
But the sun with his brightness
Wouldnt let her catch the sights
The girl still eager
And curious to see the world around her
Again opened her eyes
But her vision was blurred
Still she did not lose hope
Which flowed through her blood
Encouraging and pushing her
To see the world further
Her heart beating fast
Her enthusiasm increasing
She slowly tried to see
With her eyes continuously blinking
Starting to lose hope
She was ready to give up
But curiosity got the upper hand
And pushed her forward
With her hope again rising
and strength in her eyesight
She is finally seeing the world
With wide open eyes

Conquering the space
-Marisha Nath VIII-C
ldquoThere is no failure in Science it is only continual
effort to conquer the unknown On the way even if we
face failure it rather adds more value to our effort for
our next journey to know the unknownrdquo
Chandrayan-2 Indiarsquos Moon Mission The dream of
entire India to land on moon and become the 4th Na-
tion in the world to put its flag on the soil of moon
after USSR USA amp China
ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launched
Chandrayan-2 on 22nd July 2019 from Bengaluru
(Satish Dhawan Space Center) under the command of
ISRO chief K Shivan It consists of ORBITER
LANDER amp Lunar Rover PRAGYAN Like Chandra-
yan-1(22nd Oct2008) it was Indiarsquos indigenous moon
mission
It touched the Moon Surface on Saturday early morn-
ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-
ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-
ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of
moon it lost contact with the ground station Because
of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be
monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m
(approx) away from its assigned location near
SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still
orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange
signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it
The ORBITER which will remain active for another
12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-
owed portion of the moon for the first time in history
with the help of its high-resolution camera
The entire Nation irrespective of their field of
knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front
of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of
VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true
Indians who always dream progress and development
of their motherland But our heart never accepts this
as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement
for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-
pose of our mission
But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at
this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring
country quoting this as a big failure on part of India
blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos
money on this
Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will
be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to
this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other
nations on such missions
Further I should say that India is not new in the field
of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-
TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975
It was named after famous scientist of ancient India
ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested
for the first time the HELIOCENTRIC THEORY
(Sun at the center and all planets revolve around the
Sun) of the Solar System much earlier than ready for
New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 57
COPERNICUS as believed in the western world
Other countries might have moon on their flags but
we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is
great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are
whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-
rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is
only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the
unknown and its continual application for the benefit
of the mankind)rdquo
Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by
various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-
PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-
cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958
onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as
46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was
attempted out of which only 21 was successful
Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-
tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the
overall attempts conducted by other Nations
USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-
NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was
planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January
SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR
successfully on moon
NASA after many attempts was successful to send
first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th
July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk
on moon
Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-
clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-
SION MANGAL for our next moon mission

Women Empowerment - Devangi Dongre VII-B
The abilities of women in making decisions educa-
tion and profession have been largely suppressed
since ages considering them inferior to men The sit-
uation is worst in underdeveloped and developing na-
tions where women in a family are not allowed to
take financial decisions or decide on matters regard-
ing their own educationWith such state of affairs it
would be a fallacy to dream about the goals of sus-
tainable development and gender equality There is an
instant need to take measures to lift the social
personal and professional
status of women bringing
them shoulder to shoulder
with men These particular
measures constitute a pro-
cess which is known as ldquoWomen Empowermentrdquo
Providing better education and employment opportu-
nities to women ensuring their better health provid-
ing justice and ensuring professional equivalence are
the few methods of women empowerment

- Aaryan Aggarwal IX-B
He looked from afar at his towering creation A re-
mote island in the Pacific Ocean seemed like a great
refuge after what had been happening on the Earth
He chose secrecy as his mission had raised many eye-
brows The plan was simple lsquoEscape and start overrsquo
Right now Moon seemed to be the most viable option
in terms of survival The research had been done
Moon was habitable So close to our abode our cos-
mic neighbor the Moon must exist for a reason It-
will not just be a secondary habitat but also be a step-
ping stone for further progress
His meticulously crafted plan was now just minutes
away from execution A team of four explorers would
first leave Earth and explore the Moon to test his hy-
pothesis Once a temporary col-
ony using genetically engi-
neered pods containing human
embryos is set up they would
further analyze the surroundings and find ways to
make it more habitable The lesser gravitational pull
which allowed for a comparatively lower escape ve-
locity made it easier to transport resources from the
Earth or the ISS Sure it would be difficult at first
Earth is unmatched but he knew it was for the greater
good of mankind It would mean more opportunities
and help us understand our place in this universe
Right now we have confined ourselves in a box and
this is the only way to leave it and unleash the won-
ders of the universe In front of his eyes it flew never
to come back

Television Pros and Cons
- Soumya Sheth
What do most of the people do these days to entertain
themselvesEveryone likes to switch ON their televi-
sion sets which is one of the exceptional inventions of
science When our Dads come home tired after office
the first thing they would like to do is switch On the
TV and relax while watching it from his sofa seat
This is because while watching different things that
are broadcasted on TV we forget our worries and re-
grets of the day
However like every good and popular inventions tel-
evision also has its set of some worrying habits that
people get hitched to For example sometimes kids
watch it for extensive time thereby affecting their
studies This is one of the most worrying habit for par-
ents and we should know that ignoring studies is not
good for our future and studying is as much important
for us at this tender age more than anything elseItrsquos
true that television can bring us the knowledge from
across the world We can see different parts of the
world virtually sitting at the same place But we
should know how
we can use this
incredible inven-
tion of science in
the right and bene-
ficial way for us Now-a-days Smart TVs have be-
come even more popular We can even use internet on
those TVs Use Google to search for answers we donrsquot
know use YouTube to understand how things are
made or get our doubts cleared and much much more
To summarize it I would like to urge all my fellow
students to use this precious invention of science in a
way that will benefit you to gain constructive
knowledge and avoid destructive knowledge We
should know that television is not the world but only a
small component of this world Please know that there
are other things in life which we should enjoy too
along with giving utmost importance to our studies

The night before the final examination
-Marisha Nath VIII- C
The night before the final examination appears to all
examinees as the night before the Battle of Waterloo
might have appeared to Napoleon or the Duke of Wel-
lington Our system of education being what it is we
examinees are bound to be anxious about the nature of
the nature of the questions we will have to answer
next day Even an earnest student who has done all
that needs be done by way of nervousness uncertainty
and suspense on the night before the examination The
morning of the examination finds them prostate with
nervous disorder
But this is one side the picture There are students
who may be described as soldiers of fortune They are
daredevil youngsters who do not take their examina-
tions seriously But their lack of preparation is more
than made up for by the short cuts or bazar notes they
have provided themselves with Even on the night
before the examina-
tion they would be
going about their
daily rounds They
may be found in the parks cafes and restaurants talk-
ing about tips ndashtalking glibly and confidently about
what questions are sure to come The morning of the
examination finds them as cheerful as they were on
the night before
What is needed most is self-confidence and a cool
head True we do not remember all that we have read
when we go to the Examination Hall This does not
mean that we have forgotten them Many things re-
main in the sub ndashconscious region They jump into
consciousness when we face the questions and seri-
ously think of the answers Often such answers score
more marks than prepared ones
Elegance
-Prajna VIII-D
Elegant you be for the universe to learn your versatility
Brighter you shine the orb will know your sustenance
The stars moons and clouds let know your dignity
Apparently it seems your flawless abundance
The ideal triumph mustnrsquot be exaggerated

Elegant you be for the universe to learn your versatility
How can you be silent if you donrsquot know your efficiency
One of the values to become successful is simplicity
Through elegance letrsquos spread positivist

Once I had been to the Chocolate Land
Chocolate all around to the reach of my hand
Toffees candies lollies and bars
In my mouth a crunchy munchy war
White dark nutty and sweet
Just like a dreamy treat
Colourful wrapper shiny and bright
Which one to choose which would be right
Houses made of chocolates and doors made of bars
And out stood there a chocolate car
Soon after it was 6 oclock
And could hear the doorrsquos knock
I woke up in a hurry
Just to realise that it was a dream

The ant and the elephant
- SOUMEN RAO IV-E
Once upon a time in a forest there lived an ant and an
elephant The elephant was the biggest among all the
elephants So he was very proud of himself and used
to criticize everyone and the ant which was the tiniest
among them was very happy and cheerful It used to
help everyone I its own way
All the animals in the forest used to complain about
the egoistic elephant So one day when the ant saw the
elephant walking towards it it immediately thought of
a plan As soon as the elephant came near the ant
said ldquoHello My friendrdquo but the elephant replied rude-
ly saying ldquoYou tiny
ant Get off my way
otherwise yoursquoll get
crushed to deathrdquo
Hearing this ant
challenged the elephant sayingrdquo My big friend I can
make you cryrdquo The ant quickly climbed onto the trunk
of the elephant and ran towards its earit went inside
the ear and started biting the elephants ear The ele-
phant tried to flap its ears but in vain After a few
minutes tears started rolling down its eyes It cried
ldquoPlease come out of my ear I canrsquot bear the painrdquo As
soon as the ant came out the elephant apologized for
its mistake and didnrsquot tease any animals from that day
Grandparents
-Aditya Patil VIII-E
The best place in vacation
A heaven like destination
Their love for us is endless
All their sacrifices are worthless
Great is their surrounding divinity
In front of our ordinary identity
To your grandparents never be rude
Because they are your
coolest dude
They yell at our parents
when we are shouted
With generosity and be-
nevolence they are bounded
Be sure to always meet your grandparents once in a
while and enhance yourself by their presence

Women Empowerment
- Devangi Dongre VII-B
The abilities of women in making decisions education and profession have
been largely suppressed since ages considering them inferior to men The situa-
tion is worst in underdeveloped and developing nations where women in a fami-
ly are not allowed to take financial decisions or decide on matters regarding their own education
With such state of affairs it would be a fallacy to dream about the goals of sustainable development and gen-
der equality There is an instant need to take measures to lift the social personal and professional status of
women bringing them shoulder to shoulder with men These particular measures constitute a process which
is known as ldquoWomen Empowermentrdquo Providing better education and employment opportunities to women
ensuring their better health providing justice and ensuring professional equivalence are the few methods of
women empowerment
Water Conservation
- Paarth Bhagat VII-J
Water is life If there was no water there would be no
life Hence water is the precious gift of God to mother
Earth We cannot imagine our lives without water
We human beings are made up of water it is the only
transportation medium that carries the food molecules
and oxygen to the cells of every body parts to help the
blood It signifies that water is the most essential in-
gredient to the functioning of life of every organism
So you see living this wonderful life is impossible
without water
Water is the force behind all the industry agriculture
manufacturing and trade and commerce All forms of
energy generation is done using water Be it hydroe-
lectrically projects or thermal power plant or nuclear
power plant water is
the key ingredient in
all of them There
would be no power
without water No
water no life
So it is our responsibility to conserve this life nectar
It is possible only through by changing our outlook
towards this wonderful natural resource We must en-
sure there is no pollution of water bodies by dumping
any waste such as sewage effluents and other toxic
substances We must also ensure there is no emission
of green-house gases into the atmosphere The people
and the government must ensure installation of efflu-
ents and smoke treatment plants at industrial garbage
and sewage units

The kind Fairies -Aditys Patil VIII-E
This story starts with two beautiful babies in a king-
dom called fairyland The babies were very pretty
Their names were Ovi and Riddhi They were growing
pretty well As they grew they became more and
more pretty Over and over they were also fairies and
within 5 years they became young girls Their mother
told them to go to school The girls askedwhere are
the schools There are no schools here Mother said
dont worry you will go to the planet Earth On the
planet Earth there is a very good school named New
Horizon Public School and the short form is nhps We
said ok On the first day of our school we were very
afraid but after a few days we
became more smart than the
others We were getting a lot of
prizes which we shared with
eveyone in the school This
made us and others happy One day We became the
princess of fairyland Our wings were like a rainbow
We were twins and had very long hairs Now I end
my story with a beautiful quote
ALWAYS HELP EACH OTHER LIKE THE
FARIES BECAUSE HELPING PEOPLE IS THE
PATH TO GOD
The Day Irsquoll Never Forget - Saranya Sarangi VII -
It was a day of love and affection
There was no visible sign of caution
But something unfortunate was going to happen
Nobody knew where and when
There was a blast at half past three
In a beauty land called Paradise On Earth
A complete silence and pity hadnrsquot the thee
Perished laid the martyrs
Whom our motherland gave birth
I still remember that scaring sight
The scattered limbs I couldnrsquot see
My heart got filled with grief and fright
No Indian could glee
Terribly writhing the soldiers were seen
Some families languished and some
were crying
So loyal to their country they had been
None of their families were mollifying
Whatever homage to our martyrs we pay
Tiny before their they lay
Salute to their tribute to motherland
To protect us they always walked hand in hand
Little Birdie - Marisha Nath VIII-C
I am a little birdie in the sky
With two wings to fly
I never disturb you
I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom
O human Then why do you steal my FREEDOM
Binding me alone in the cage makes me sad
Donrsquot you know caging a bird is bad
Looking at the sky
I wish I could fly
I never disturb you
I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom
O human Then why do you steal my
FREEDOM

Summers in India - Saranya Sarangi VIII
A hot season beginning from April till May is what we
call summer And thatrsquos the basic rule in India But
thatrsquos not something through which we can define
summers in our country India The sun shining high
above the head increasing the heat and this scorching
heat is something very unique about summers in India
Those ice-lolly stalls roaming down the streets tin-
kling their tiny bells is something special one will nev-
er find in any other country Many people love this
season
Especially the children as they get to eat ice-creams
Many people even donrsquot As they feel that this season
can only make a person dehydrated exhausted and irri-
tated Summer as we think as an unfruitful season is
contrast in reality Schools conduct summer camps
during vacation where stu-
dents can join different aca-
demic and co-curricular
courses to improve them-
selves Many children even spend time with their fami-
lies
Often families plan trips to different places as they get
a very long vacation during this season But now-a-
days due to increasing heat these pleasant summers
are becoming unbearable Every just sweat and sweat
We get a lethargic feeling not ready to do any work
Due to this heat we continually keep the ACs on which
consume a lot of electricity creating trouble for our
mother Earth and us Gradually that charm of the
unique kind of summers will be lost if precautions are
not taken We must really hope and work hard to bring
back our lovely lsquoSummers in Indiarsquo
Exams are good or bad
- Nupoor Teli VIIIndashI
In my humble opinionexams are apressure on the stu-
dents They are forced to study and score good
markswhich can lead to frustration An environmentof
competitivenessof standing first is created for which
students keep on studying day and night without any
recreation It is good to studybut not just for the sake
of gaining marks
Why do we study What is the main intention behind
education Seeking intersresting and fascinating
knowledge as well as facts about the world But now-a
-daysthe main reason for studying is gaining marks If
there are no marksno career andno success This is the
mindset of 70 people of the worldespecially parents
They pressurize their children so much that they get
depressed or sometimes attempt suicide as well
Every two months an exam is conducted Moreo-
verthere are projectssubject-enrichment activi-
tieschapter test sfter every topicnotebookfile submis
sion etcAnd as acherry on top
of the cakewe have the semes-
ter exams of eighty marks as
well What all will the students
do And even if any extra-
curricular activities are being learntthen more extra
studies Just studystudy and study
Why so much of tension on the children Under this
tension only they start cheating As time passes cheat-
ing becomes a habit of their life
I fell that exams should be conducted once a term in
order to evaluate whether the students are clear with
the concepts or notThey shouldnt be pressurized for
their marksbut should be made understand their mis-
takes Let them choose their own career options on
their own Help them knowwhat they like to study and
what they want to do in their life So dont pressurize
students for what they dont likeand encourage them in
what they do After allthey are only the Rising stars of
the country

Life is magical - Piyush Sahoo VII-H
A new day or a new night
Everything in life seems bright
A new morning or a new evening
Life is full of happening
A life is just like a kite
It may disappear in a sight
Life moves from baby to old
Make your life challenging and bold
Enjoy life the fullest
Never accept less than best
Unlikely life comes to an end
But remember never to bend
Happy sadness victory and loss
Accept it the way it comes
Life can be at times tragical
But make it the most beautiful
Life is magicalhellip
Life is so magicalhellip
Humility -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
Humility is having a heart to treat others with respect
and love Considering people worthy of your love
time and efforts regardless of who they are or what
they have done A person is truly humble when they
are willing to work hard for others expecting nothing
in return
Humility has the power to change a personrsquos perspec-
tive towards life It can make a difference in the way a
person is looked upon by others Doing an act of hum-
bleness can make a personrsquos day Humility is about
not having an ego or considering things below your
dignity or considering yourself greater than others
People often confuse humility with self-respect They
canrsquot make out the difference between being useful to
others and being used by others
It takes courage to be humble
because in the era in which we
live humility is looked upon as
weakness People assume yoursquore not strong enough to
stand up for yourself They think you surrender in-
stead of protesting They will despise and scorn you
but they donrsquot know that you take pleasure in what
you do because they havenrsquot experienced that kind of
joy
So if you do have humility donrsquot draw back from it
because of what others think Whatever you are doing
is for the good of others and you have no need to be
ashamed of that Humbleness will spread from person
to person Who knows maybe your one act of humili-
ty will spread on to help a person in need So be brave
be humble
Mom -Tanvi Sawant VII-C
Oh mom I came to this beautiful world just because
of youhellip
Mom what would I do without you
Oh mom there are thorns on the way
But you manage to get me awayhellip
Oh mom I canrsquot say how much yoursquore to me
Mom just promise me that yoursquoll and
always be with mehellip
Oh mom this world is incomplete
without you
Just like the sky without itrsquos bright color bluehellip
Oh mom yoursquore the candle that showed the way in the
dark
My dear mom you made my life spark

OUR FUTURE EARTH - Hiya Purswani VIII-B
We all know the present condition of our environment
around us Inspite of advanced and modern technolo-
gy we humans are still not able to find a solution
Early humans neither they had much technology nor
they had enough intelligence but still in the early ages
the environment was clean making it the reason for
the increasing life span of humans Its a shocking
news to know that the amount of plastic bottles pro-
duced now may lead to increase in plastic pollution
and cause several death Its a great opportunity to be
as a human in this beautiful earth and so its our re-
sponsibility to make it clean In monsoon people cut
down trees to prevent accidents to occur but do we
plant trees in summer to prevent more global warm-
ing We can prevent bad things to happen but not can-
not take that much effort for good things to spread
Have you ever wondered while seeing a tap open how
many taps are left open at the same time in the whole
world It might sound unbelievable there can be a
World War III on water land and fresh air The way
we are thinking about the wastage of water may lead
us to a massive pain Itrsquos truly said by Warren Buffet
sometimes to buy things we need we have to sell
things we do not need This happens in the case of
lacking of intelligence We say every scholar is a true
genius but in my
opinion a person is
genius if he has the
ability to save and
change things in his
own way We all have the ability to save this earth
but our thoughts our ego and our greediness is stop-
ping us to think in a better way Everyone has a good
and a bad side in his life What matters is the part we
choose to act upon This is an excellent thought said
by Sirius Black in the movie Harry Potter Itrsquos time to
bring a change We always have time to do good
things all we need is hope Spreading awareness is the
best idea to bring a change If everyone stops thinking
about their economical needs and start contributing
towards the environment by planting more trees cer-
tainly there will be a beneficial change in this world
Neither do we think about the future nor care about
the present Why not be an optimist and think in a
positive way of life Our studies our needs our
knowledge will not help us in any way if we donʼt
change Its not that easy to plant a tree and care for it a
whole year if we only plant it with all our love nature
is certainly going to care for it Lastly I would like to
end with a quoterdquo Come forth in the light of things
nature will be your teacher
The Small Hours Pranjal Anil Chavan V-C
No more my little song Come back
And now of nights I lay my head on down
to watch the black
And wait the unfailing gray
Oh Sad are winter nights and slow
And sad is a song thatrsquos dumb
And sad it is to lie I know
Another dawn will come

Floods and Destruction
- Nirvi Soni IV-H
India faces occurrence of floods each year in some
parts of Assam during the rainy season Water of river
Brahmaputra rises and enters into many villages
causing great destruction Floods are unavoidable but
we need to take precautions in the following ways by
reducing mining activities building dams growing
more trees etc During floods the weather becomes
wet and gloomy Trees and plants get uprooted This
way floods cause great de-
struction to both life and
property It also becomes dif-
ficult to travel from place to
place Many people are left
homeless The rain water should be harvested and
stored in large storage tanks The harvested rainwater
can be used for washing clothes and cleaning By us-
ing rain water in our daily life we can preserve water
resources
Good Morning Everyone -Vyomi ThakkarVI - H
Come with me wersquoll have some fun
Wersquoll go on a walk
Donrsquot worry will have a great talk
Roaming around the ground
With beautiful birdrsquos sound
We donrsquot know if anything will be found
Wersquoll surely find the crown
Up on the chilled mountain
We saw a beautiful fountain
Surrounded by a beautiful castle
Decorated with the colourful tassel
Just be quiet and keen
Soon you will be the queen
Think before you speak
-Shravya Atreya IX-D
Think before you speak
There are hearts you must please
Think before you speak
You canrsquot undo the harm done after you squeak
Think before you speak
You might have done greater harm than you might
think
Think before you speak
There are still places left for you
to seek
Think before you speak
There is a long way to go before
you sleep
Think before you speak
There are hearts you must
please
Sunrise -Anuradha Singh VII-H

Everything is fine

GLOBAL WARMING - Adhyant Singh VII-F
Global warming refers to the steady rise in the Earthrsquos mean temperature The effect of global
warming had come into sight when polar ice caps started melting this phenomena is called ICE ndash
ALBEDO the ice caps melt faster due to the rise in the temperature This sudden rise in the temperature near
the poles began in 1999 The polar ice caps in Antarctica melt at the rate of 400000000000 tons per year ac-
cording to some scientists it would approximately take 5000 years to melt the total ice on earth In 2013 Inter-
governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) stated that the main cause of Global warming is human inter-
vention like emission of Green house gases like Carbon-Di-Oxide nitrous oxide and methane
These gases trap the heat which is reflected by the Earthrsquos surface thus increasing the temperature and also
destroying the ozone layer which prevents the ultraviolet rays of the sun from reaching the earthrsquos surface Al-
so burning fossil fuel contributes to the problem Effects of global warming have also led to the increase in the
sea level and extreme weather like heat waves and change in the regional pattern of precipitation and the ex-
pansion of desserts A concentrated and focused effort by the entire humanity can curb down the impact of
Global warming and also prevent it Planting more trees to control the amount of carbon-di-oxide eliminating
the use of chlorofluorocarbon or (CFCrsquoS) are a few steps All the countries have signed up with the United Na-
tions Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to prevent the doomsday of Earth So to prevent
earthrsquos doomsday we all must work together
Itrsquos not too late there is still timehellipBefore the earth ends and we whinehellipSo keep on marching and planting
greens To end Global Warming and Make our planet greenhellip

The Night - Matangi Rajesh VII-D
Its the night
The moon is white
When we switch off the light
What a beautiful sight
After this comes the sun bright
There is no more artificial light
This is the time to start your diet
To go for a run wearing tights
Then comes the evening when
you have snacks light
And fly a big colorful kite
or include your sibling in a pillow fight
Again comes the night
A moon which is white
We switch off the light
A beautiful sight

Hyperloop -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
Human inventions have baffled the world They are
innumerable ranging from revolutionizing
smartphones to not-so-breathtaking ice cream cones
but they play a role in our life just the same The
things which are commonplace to us now were unbe-
knownst to people once upon a time For the people of
the 19th century the car was a thing of the future until
in 1885 Karl Benz ran his first car on the road Then
for centuries people took the prospect of of flying like
the birds as only a wild possibility which was made
possible in 1903 when the Wright Brothers flew the
first plane
What is the thing of the future for us Well we are the
future modifying and bettering the things that have
been made and crating stuff that we didnt even dare
to imagine about The Hyperloop fulfills both aspects
of the definition a very advanced model of our faith-
ful train and yet a brand new idea to scale greater
heights The Hyperloop is an ideal mode of efficient
transport Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane
with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing
speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt have to
ace the two types of friction that every other vehicle
has to face Air resistance and ground friction The
pods of the Hyperloop are propelled through a depres-
surized tub Since it is almost vacuum very little air
resistance can be offered inside the tube Due to this
the energy required to travel is also very less The Hy-
perloops unique technology uses magnetic levitation
to guide and lift the pods of the rail Since the pod is
not in contact with the ground there is no friction act-
ing on itThe first Hyperloop ndash virgin Hyperloop one
is set to run with passengers as early as 2021 and is
created by SpaceX and Tesla
The mastermind behind the Hyperloop is Elon Musk
who first published a 58 page white-paper on the web-
site of his company-Space X It was available to all
and was titled Hyperloop alpha The Hyperloop may
be the pioneer of a whole new era of transportation
traveling a distance which would otherwise take 12
hours in just I hour it has crossed all known bounda-
ries and created higher limits for us to reach and reach
we must for when time is money and money is time
an option that saves both needs to be used
Exams are good or bad -Nupoor Teli VIII
In my humble opinion exams are pressure on the stu-
dents They are forced to study and score good marks
which can lead to frustration An environment of com-
petitiveness of standing first is created for which stu-
dents keep on studying day and night without any rec-
reation It is good to study but not just for the sake of
gaining marks
Why do we study What is the main intention behind
education Seeking interesting and fascinating
knowledge as well as facts about the world But now-a
-days the main reason for studying is gaining marks
If there are no marks no career and no success This
is the mindset of 70 people of the world especially
parents They pressurize their children so much that
they get depressed or sometimes attempt suicide as
wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-
ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities
chapter test after every topic notebookfile submis-
sion etc And as cherry on top of the cake we have the
semester exams of eighty marks as well What all will
the students do And even if any extra-curricular ac-
tivities are being learnt then more extra studies Just
study study and study
Why so much of tension on the children Under this
tension only they start cheating As time passes cheat-
ing becomes a habit of their lifeI fell that exams
should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate
whether the students are clear with the concepts or
not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but
should be made understand their mistakes Let them
choose their own career options on their own Help
them know what they like to study and what they want
to do in their life So dont pressurize students for
what they dont like and encourage them in what they
do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the
country

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B
Life is all about interactions You meet people and
you interact You observe them consciously or sub-
consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us
more than we even realise Some people leave a last-
ing impression on us and entirely change the course of
life for better or for worse Some people influence us
help us go further and make all the difference
I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-
tial people They have taken care of me ever since I
came into this world They are the ones who wish the
best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-
cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel
no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-
come a part of my personality They are the ones who
helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me
to be better
When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are
the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-
takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique
learning experience It has made me realise how eve-
rything they do has a reason They are the ones who
have taught me the importance of the little things in
life They are the ones who have helped me recognize
and follow my passion The very thought of them not
being a part of my life is scary to the least as without
them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am
today and whatever I have achieved is all because of
them and I am very grateful of that
Eyesight
-Aditi Shenoy VIII-F
The tired little girl went to bed
Recollecting the days bygone
Seeing them in her dreams
As the day she was born
Trying to see the world
With her little eyes
But the sun with his brightness
Wouldnt let her catch the sights
The girl still eager
And curious to see the world around her
Again opened her eyes
But her vision was blurred
Still she did not lose hope
Which flowed through her blood
Encouraging and pushing her
To see the world further
Her heart beating fast
Her enthusiasm increasing
She slowly tried to see
With her eyes continuously blinking
Starting to lose hope
She was ready to give up
But curiosity got the upper hand
And pushed her forward
With her hope again rising
and strength in her eyesight
She is finally seeing the world
With wide open eyes

Conquering the space
-Marisha Nath VIII-C
ldquoThere is no failure in Science it is only continual
effort to conquer the unknown On the way even if we
face failure it rather adds more value to our effort for
our next journey to know the unknownrdquo
Chandrayan-2 Indiarsquos Moon Mission The dream of
entire India to land on moon and become the 4th Na-
tion in the world to put its flag on the soil of moon
after USSR USA amp China
ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launched
Chandrayan-2 on 22nd July 2019 from Bengaluru
(Satish Dhawan Space Center) under the command of
ISRO chief K Shivan It consists of ORBITER
LANDER amp Lunar Rover PRAGYAN Like Chandra-
yan-1(22nd Oct2008) it was Indiarsquos indigenous moon
mission
It touched the Moon Surface on Saturday early morn-
ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-
ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-
ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of
moon it lost contact with the ground station Because
of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be
monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m
(approx) away from its assigned location near
SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still
orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange
signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it
The ORBITER which will remain active for another
12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-
owed portion of the moon for the first time in history
with the help of its high-resolution camera
The entire Nation irrespective of their field of
knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front
of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of
VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true
Indians who always dream progress and development
of their motherland But our heart never accepts this
as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement
for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-
pose of our mission
But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at
this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring
country quoting this as a big failure on part of India
blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos
money on this
Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will
be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to
this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other
nations on such missions
Further I should say that India is not new in the field
of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-
TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975
It was named after famous scientist of ancient India
ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested
for the first time the HELIOCENTRIC THEORY
(Sun at the center and all planets revolve around the
Sun) of the Solar System much earlier than ready for
New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 57
COPERNICUS as believed in the western world
Other countries might have moon on their flags but
we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is
great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are
whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-
rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is
only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the
unknown and its continual application for the benefit
of the mankind)rdquo
Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by
various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-
PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-
cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958
onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as
46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was
attempted out of which only 21 was successful
Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-
tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the
overall attempts conducted by other Nations
USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-
NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was
planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January
SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR
successfully on moon
NASA after many attempts was successful to send
first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th
July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk
on moon
Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-
clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-
SION MANGAL for our next moon mission

Make the Choice
-Nidhi Mishra VIII-G
My vision reflects its flaming intention
Irsquom steady upon the decision
About which Irsquoll never disclaim
Accepting the outcome never blame
To impulse refer those achieves
Itrsquos your resolve donrsquot quit
There wasnrsquot any lose that grieves
There was just a lesson in it
I turn down to immure oneself
In the decision of mine
I possess optimism in myself
And so I believe everything
will be fine
Though it may be tough
To perceive ones way to success
A dose of victory isnrsquot enough
Itrsquos always limitless
Television Pros and Cons
- Soumya Sheth
What do most of the people do these days to entertain
themselvesEveryone likes to switch ON their televi-
sion sets which is one of the exceptional inventions of
science When our Dads come home tired after office
the first thing they would like to do is switch On the
TV and relax while watching it from his sofa seat
This is because while watching different things that
are broadcasted on TV we forget our worries and re-
grets of the day
However like every good and popular inventions tel-
evision also has its set of some worrying habits that
people get hitched to For example sometimes kids
watch it for extensive time thereby affecting their
studies This is one of the most worrying habit for par-
ents and we should know that ignoring studies is not
good for our future and studying is as much important
for us at this tender age more than anything elseItrsquos
true that television can bring us the knowledge from
across the world We can see different parts of the
world virtually sitting at the same place But we
should know how
we can use this
incredible inven-
tion of science in
the right and bene-
ficial way for us Now-a-days Smart TVs have be-
come even more popular We can even use internet on
those TVs Use Google to search for answers we donrsquot
know use YouTube to understand how things are
made or get our doubts cleared and much much more
To summarize it I would like to urge all my fellow
students to use this precious invention of science in a
way that will benefit you to gain constructive
knowledge and avoid destructive knowledge We
should know that television is not the world but only a
small component of this world Please know that there
are other things in life which we should enjoy too
along with giving utmost importance to our studies

The night before the final examination
-Marisha Nath VIII- C
The night before the final examination appears to all
examinees as the night before the Battle of Waterloo
might have appeared to Napoleon or the Duke of Wel-
lington Our system of education being what it is we
examinees are bound to be anxious about the nature of
the nature of the questions we will have to answer
next day Even an earnest student who has done all
that needs be done by way of nervousness uncertainty
and suspense on the night before the examination The
morning of the examination finds them prostate with
nervous disorder
But this is one side the picture There are students
who may be described as soldiers of fortune They are
daredevil youngsters who do not take their examina-
tions seriously But their lack of preparation is more
than made up for by the short cuts or bazar notes they
have provided themselves with Even on the night
before the examina-
tion they would be
going about their
daily rounds They
may be found in the parks cafes and restaurants talk-
ing about tips ndashtalking glibly and confidently about
what questions are sure to come The morning of the
examination finds them as cheerful as they were on
the night before
What is needed most is self-confidence and a cool
head True we do not remember all that we have read
when we go to the Examination Hall This does not
mean that we have forgotten them Many things re-
main in the sub ndashconscious region They jump into
consciousness when we face the questions and seri-
ously think of the answers Often such answers score
more marks than prepared ones
Elegance
-Prajna VIII-D
Elegant you be for the universe to learn your versatility
Brighter you shine the orb will know your sustenance
The stars moons and clouds let know your dignity
Apparently it seems your flawless abundance
The ideal triumph mustnrsquot be exaggerated
Till you salve someonersquos hurt
Elegant you be for the universe to learn your versatility
How can you be silent if you donrsquot know your efficiency
One of the values to become successful is simplicity
Through elegance letrsquos spread positivist

Chocoland - Talreja Aastha IV-J
Once I had been to the Chocolate Land
Chocolate all around to the reach of my hand
Toffees candies lollies and bars
In my mouth a crunchy munchy war
White dark nutty and sweet
Just like a dreamy treat
Colourful wrapper shiny and bright
Which one to choose which would be right
Houses made of chocolates and doors made of bars
And out stood there a chocolate car
Soon after it was 6 oclock
And could hear the doorrsquos knock
I woke up in a hurry
Just to realise that it was a dream
Me Myself
- Tirtha Kiran Keni VII- G

I never know in future what I will be and where I will
be
But I surely know you will always love me
I am very lucky Shirley girl

The ant and the elephant
- SOUMEN RAO IV-E
Once upon a time in a forest there lived an ant and an
elephant The elephant was the biggest among all the
elephants So he was very proud of himself and used
to criticize everyone and the ant which was the tiniest
among them was very happy and cheerful It used to
help everyone I its own way
All the animals in the forest used to complain about
the egoistic elephant So one day when the ant saw the
elephant walking towards it it immediately thought of
a plan As soon as the elephant came near the ant
said ldquoHello My friendrdquo but the elephant replied rude-
ly saying ldquoYou tiny
ant Get off my way
otherwise yoursquoll get
crushed to deathrdquo
Hearing this ant
challenged the elephant sayingrdquo My big friend I can
make you cryrdquo The ant quickly climbed onto the trunk
of the elephant and ran towards its earit went inside
the ear and started biting the elephants ear The ele-
phant tried to flap its ears but in vain After a few
minutes tears started rolling down its eyes It cried
ldquoPlease come out of my ear I canrsquot bear the painrdquo As
soon as the ant came out the elephant apologized for
its mistake and didnrsquot tease any animals from that day
Grandparents
-Aditya Patil VIII-E
The best place in vacation
A heaven like destination
Their love for us is endless
All their sacrifices are worthless
Great is their surrounding divinity
In front of our ordinary identity
To your grandparents never be rude
Because they are your
coolest dude
They yell at our parents
when we are shouted
With generosity and be-
nevolence they are bounded
Be sure to always meet your grandparents once in a
while and enhance yourself by their presence

Women Empowerment
- Devangi Dongre VII-B
The abilities of women in making decisions education and profession have
been largely suppressed since ages considering them inferior to men The situa-
tion is worst in underdeveloped and developing nations where women in a fami-
ly are not allowed to take financial decisions or decide on matters regarding their own education
With such state of affairs it would be a fallacy to dream about the goals of sustainable development and gen-
der equality There is an instant need to take measures to lift the social personal and professional status of
women bringing them shoulder to shoulder with men These particular measures constitute a process which
is known as ldquoWomen Empowermentrdquo Providing better education and employment opportunities to women
ensuring their better health providing justice and ensuring professional equivalence are the few methods of
women empowerment
Water Conservation
- Paarth Bhagat VII-J
Water is life If there was no water there would be no
life Hence water is the precious gift of God to mother
Earth We cannot imagine our lives without water
We human beings are made up of water it is the only
transportation medium that carries the food molecules
and oxygen to the cells of every body parts to help the
blood It signifies that water is the most essential in-
gredient to the functioning of life of every organism
So you see living this wonderful life is impossible
without water
Water is the force behind all the industry agriculture
manufacturing and trade and commerce All forms of
energy generation is done using water Be it hydroe-
lectrically projects or thermal power plant or nuclear
power plant water is
the key ingredient in
all of them There
would be no power
without water No
water no life
So it is our responsibility to conserve this life nectar
It is possible only through by changing our outlook
towards this wonderful natural resource We must en-
sure there is no pollution of water bodies by dumping
any waste such as sewage effluents and other toxic
substances We must also ensure there is no emission
of green-house gases into the atmosphere The people
and the government must ensure installation of efflu-
ents and smoke treatment plants at industrial garbage
and sewage units

The kind Fairies -Aditys Patil VIII-E
This story starts with two beautiful babies in a king-
dom called fairyland The babies were very pretty
Their names were Ovi and Riddhi They were growing
pretty well As they grew they became more and
more pretty Over and over they were also fairies and
within 5 years they became young girls Their mother
told them to go to school The girls askedwhere are
the schools There are no schools here Mother said
dont worry you will go to the planet Earth On the
planet Earth there is a very good school named New
Horizon Public School and the short form is nhps We
said ok On the first day of our school we were very
afraid but after a few days we
became more smart than the
others We were getting a lot of
prizes which we shared with
eveyone in the school This
made us and others happy One day We became the
princess of fairyland Our wings were like a rainbow
We were twins and had very long hairs Now I end
my story with a beautiful quote
ALWAYS HELP EACH OTHER LIKE THE
FARIES BECAUSE HELPING PEOPLE IS THE
PATH TO GOD
The Day Irsquoll Never Forget - Saranya Sarangi VII -
It was a day of love and affection
There was no visible sign of caution
But something unfortunate was going to happen
Nobody knew where and when
There was a blast at half past three
In a beauty land called Paradise On Earth
A complete silence and pity hadnrsquot the thee
Perished laid the martyrs
Whom our motherland gave birth
I still remember that scaring sight
The scattered limbs I couldnrsquot see
My heart got filled with grief and fright
No Indian could glee
Terribly writhing the soldiers were seen
Some families languished and some
were crying
So loyal to their country they had been
None of their families were mollifying
Whatever homage to our martyrs we pay
Tiny before their they lay
Salute to their tribute to motherland
To protect us they always walked hand in hand
Little Birdie - Marisha Nath VIII-C
I am a little birdie in the sky
With two wings to fly
I never disturb you
I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom
O human Then why do you steal my FREEDOM
Binding me alone in the cage makes me sad
Donrsquot you know caging a bird is bad
Looking at the sky
I wish I could fly
I never disturb you
I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom
O human Then why do you steal my
FREEDOM

Summers in India - Saranya Sarangi VIII
A hot season beginning from April till May is what we
call summer And thatrsquos the basic rule in India But
thatrsquos not something through which we can define
summers in our country India The sun shining high
above the head increasing the heat and this scorching
heat is something very unique about summers in India
Those ice-lolly stalls roaming down the streets tin-
kling their tiny bells is something special one will nev-
er find in any other country Many people love this
season
Especially the children as they get to eat ice-creams
Many people even donrsquot As they feel that this season
can only make a person dehydrated exhausted and irri-
tated Summer as we think as an unfruitful season is
contrast in reality Schools conduct summer camps
during vacation where stu-
dents can join different aca-
demic and co-curricular
courses to improve them-
selves Many children even spend time with their fami-
lies
Often families plan trips to different places as they get
a very long vacation during this season But now-a-
days due to increasing heat these pleasant summers
are becoming unbearable Every just sweat and sweat
We get a lethargic feeling not ready to do any work
Due to this heat we continually keep the ACs on which
consume a lot of electricity creating trouble for our
mother Earth and us Gradually that charm of the
unique kind of summers will be lost if precautions are
not taken We must really hope and work hard to bring
back our lovely lsquoSummers in Indiarsquo
Exams are good or bad
- Nupoor Teli VIIIndashI
In my humble opinionexams are apressure on the stu-
dents They are forced to study and score good
markswhich can lead to frustration An environmentof
competitivenessof standing first is created for which
students keep on studying day and night without any
recreation It is good to studybut not just for the sake
of gaining marks
Why do we study What is the main intention behind
education Seeking intersresting and fascinating
knowledge as well as facts about the world But now-a
-daysthe main reason for studying is gaining marks If
there are no marksno career andno success This is the
mindset of 70 people of the worldespecially parents
They pressurize their children so much that they get
depressed or sometimes attempt suicide as well
Every two months an exam is conducted Moreo-
verthere are projectssubject-enrichment activi-
tieschapter test sfter every topicnotebookfile submis
sion etcAnd as acherry on top
of the cakewe have the semes-
ter exams of eighty marks as
well What all will the students
do And even if any extra-
curricular activities are being learntthen more extra
studies Just studystudy and study
Why so much of tension on the children Under this
tension only they start cheating As time passes cheat-
ing becomes a habit of their life
I fell that exams should be conducted once a term in
order to evaluate whether the students are clear with
the concepts or notThey shouldnt be pressurized for
their marksbut should be made understand their mis-
takes Let them choose their own career options on
their own Help them knowwhat they like to study and
what they want to do in their life So dont pressurize
students for what they dont likeand encourage them in
what they do After allthey are only the Rising stars of
the country

Life is magical - Piyush Sahoo VII-H
A new day or a new night
Everything in life seems bright
A new morning or a new evening
Life is full of happening
A life is just like a kite
It may disappear in a sight
Life moves from baby to old
Make your life challenging and bold
Enjoy life the fullest
Never accept less than best
Unlikely life comes to an end
But remember never to bend
Happy sadness victory and loss
Accept it the way it comes
Life can be at times tragical
But make it the most beautiful
Life is magicalhellip
Life is so magicalhellip
Humility -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
Humility is having a heart to treat others with respect
and love Considering people worthy of your love
time and efforts regardless of who they are or what
they have done A person is truly humble when they
are willing to work hard for others expecting nothing
in return
Humility has the power to change a personrsquos perspec-
tive towards life It can make a difference in the way a
person is looked upon by others Doing an act of hum-
bleness can make a personrsquos day Humility is about
not having an ego or considering things below your
dignity or considering yourself greater than others
People often confuse humility with self-respect They
canrsquot make out the difference between being useful to
others and being used by others
It takes courage to be humble
because in the era in which we
live humility is looked upon as
weakness People assume yoursquore not strong enough to
stand up for yourself They think you surrender in-
stead of protesting They will despise and scorn you
but they donrsquot know that you take pleasure in what
you do because they havenrsquot experienced that kind of
joy
So if you do have humility donrsquot draw back from it
because of what others think Whatever you are doing
is for the good of others and you have no need to be
ashamed of that Humbleness will spread from person
to person Who knows maybe your one act of humili-
ty will spread on to help a person in need So be brave
be humble
Mom -Tanvi Sawant VII-C
Oh mom I came to this beautiful world just because

Oh mom I canrsquot say how much yoursquore to me

Oh mom this world is incomplete
without you
Just like the sky without itrsquos bright color bluehellip
Oh mom yoursquore the candle that showed the way in the
dark

OUR FUTURE EARTH - Hiya Purswani VIII-B
We all know the present condition of our environment
around us Inspite of advanced and modern technolo-
gy we humans are still not able to find a solution
Early humans neither they had much technology nor
they had enough intelligence but still in the early ages
the environment was clean making it the reason for
the increasing life span of humans Its a shocking
news to know that the amount of plastic bottles pro-
duced now may lead to increase in plastic pollution
and cause several death Its a great opportunity to be
as a human in this beautiful earth and so its our re-
sponsibility to make it clean In monsoon people cut
down trees to prevent accidents to occur but do we
plant trees in summer to prevent more global warm-
ing We can prevent bad things to happen but not can-
not take that much effort for good things to spread
Have you ever wondered while seeing a tap open how
many taps are left open at the same time in the whole
world It might sound unbelievable there can be a
World War III on water land and fresh air The way
we are thinking about the wastage of water may lead
us to a massive pain Itrsquos truly said by Warren Buffet
sometimes to buy things we need we have to sell
things we do not need This happens in the case of
lacking of intelligence We say every scholar is a true
genius but in my
opinion a person is
genius if he has the
ability to save and
change things in his
own way We all have the ability to save this earth
but our thoughts our ego and our greediness is stop-
ping us to think in a better way Everyone has a good
and a bad side in his life What matters is the part we
choose to act upon This is an excellent thought said
by Sirius Black in the movie Harry Potter Itrsquos time to
bring a change We always have time to do good
things all we need is hope Spreading awareness is the
best idea to bring a change If everyone stops thinking
about their economical needs and start contributing
towards the environment by planting more trees cer-
tainly there will be a beneficial change in this world
Neither do we think about the future nor care about
the present Why not be an optimist and think in a
positive way of life Our studies our needs our
knowledge will not help us in any way if we donʼt
change Its not that easy to plant a tree and care for it a
whole year if we only plant it with all our love nature
is certainly going to care for it Lastly I would like to
end with a quoterdquo Come forth in the light of things
nature will be your teacher
The Small Hours Pranjal Anil Chavan V-C
No more my little song Come back
And now of nights I lay my head on down
to watch the black
And wait the unfailing gray
Oh Sad are winter nights and slow
And sad is a song thatrsquos dumb
And sad it is to lie I know
Another dawn will come

Floods and Destruction
- Nirvi Soni IV-H
India faces occurrence of floods each year in some
parts of Assam during the rainy season Water of river
Brahmaputra rises and enters into many villages
causing great destruction Floods are unavoidable but
we need to take precautions in the following ways by
reducing mining activities building dams growing
more trees etc During floods the weather becomes
wet and gloomy Trees and plants get uprooted This
way floods cause great de-
struction to both life and
property It also becomes dif-
ficult to travel from place to
place Many people are left
homeless The rain water should be harvested and
stored in large storage tanks The harvested rainwater
can be used for washing clothes and cleaning By us-
ing rain water in our daily life we can preserve water
resources

Wersquoll surely find the crown
Up on the chilled mountain
We saw a beautiful fountain
Surrounded by a beautiful castle
Decorated with the colourful tassel
Just be quiet and keen
Soon you will be the queen
Think before you speak
-Shravya Atreya IX-D
Think before you speak
There are hearts you must please
Think before you speak
You canrsquot undo the harm done after you squeak
Think before you speak
You might have done greater harm than you might
think
Think before you speak
There are still places left for you
to seek
Think before you speak
There is a long way to go before
you sleep
Think before you speak
There are hearts you must
please
Sunrise -Anuradha Singh VII-H
Over the glimmering purple sea
Under the golden sun rise
The Island dreams under the dawn
And the message is carried by the wind that blows
across the bitter sea
A sparrow sways upon a tree
staring at his own in the
enamelled sea
Everything is fine
With fading stars and rising light

GLOBAL WARMING - Adhyant Singh VII-F
Global warming refers to the steady rise in the Earthrsquos mean temperature The effect of global
warming had come into sight when polar ice caps started melting this phenomena is called ICE ndash
ALBEDO the ice caps melt faster due to the rise in the temperature This sudden rise in the temperature near
the poles began in 1999 The polar ice caps in Antarctica melt at the rate of 400000000000 tons per year ac-
cording to some scientists it would approximately take 5000 years to melt the total ice on earth In 2013 Inter-
governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) stated that the main cause of Global warming is human inter-
vention like emission of Green house gases like Carbon-Di-Oxide nitrous oxide and methane
These gases trap the heat which is reflected by the Earthrsquos surface thus increasing the temperature and also
destroying the ozone layer which prevents the ultraviolet rays of the sun from reaching the earthrsquos surface Al-
so burning fossil fuel contributes to the problem Effects of global warming have also led to the increase in the
sea level and extreme weather like heat waves and change in the regional pattern of precipitation and the ex-
pansion of desserts A concentrated and focused effort by the entire humanity can curb down the impact of
Global warming and also prevent it Planting more trees to control the amount of carbon-di-oxide eliminating
the use of chlorofluorocarbon or (CFCrsquoS) are a few steps All the countries have signed up with the United Na-
tions Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to prevent the doomsday of Earth So to prevent
earthrsquos doomsday we all must work together
Itrsquos not too late there is still timehellipBefore the earth ends and we whinehellipSo keep on marching and planting
greens To end Global Warming and Make our planet greenhellip
What will happen without Instagram
- Kaavya Chaudhary VII-F
Instagram Instagram Instagram
I was hearing it from everyone
I asked who was the inventor
Nobody knew the answer to my question
Mobiles Mobiles Mobiles
I was able to see them everywhere
I asked who was the inventor
Again nobody was aware
I wondered why was it like so
Why is it they donrsquot know
There was one time we were
engrossed in books
Now we care more about our looks
Instagram wonrsquot give you a job
You will have to study and top
Your fellow followers wonrsquot help either
If you donrsquot have a job no one will bother
I am a tree
- Yashawini Pillai
I am a tree
With a dark green crown
And a thick strong trunk
Above the ground
I give you food
I give you fruits
I give you medicine
I give you wood
I need some sunlight
And some fresh air
I need some water
And your loving care

The Night - Matangi Rajesh VII-D
Its the night
The moon is white
When we switch off the light
What a beautiful sight
After this comes the sun bright
There is no more artificial light
This is the time to start your diet
To go for a run wearing tights
Then comes the evening when
you have snacks light
And fly a big colorful kite
or include your sibling in a pillow fight
Again comes the night
A moon which is white
We switch off the light
A beautiful sight

Hyperloop -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
Human inventions have baffled the world They are
innumerable ranging from revolutionizing
smartphones to not-so-breathtaking ice cream cones
but they play a role in our life just the same The
things which are commonplace to us now were unbe-
knownst to people once upon a time For the people of
the 19th century the car was a thing of the future until
in 1885 Karl Benz ran his first car on the road Then
for centuries people took the prospect of of flying like
the birds as only a wild possibility which was made
possible in 1903 when the Wright Brothers flew the
first plane
What is the thing of the future for us Well we are the
future modifying and bettering the things that have
been made and crating stuff that we didnt even dare
to imagine about The Hyperloop fulfills both aspects
of the definition a very advanced model of our faith-
ful train and yet a brand new idea to scale greater
heights The Hyperloop is an ideal mode of efficient
transport Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane
with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing
speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt have to
ace the two types of friction that every other vehicle
has to face Air resistance and ground friction The
pods of the Hyperloop are propelled through a depres-
surized tub Since it is almost vacuum very little air
resistance can be offered inside the tube Due to this
the energy required to travel is also very less The Hy-
perloops unique technology uses magnetic levitation
to guide and lift the pods of the rail Since the pod is
not in contact with the ground there is no friction act-
ing on itThe first Hyperloop ndash virgin Hyperloop one
is set to run with passengers as early as 2021 and is
created by SpaceX and Tesla
The mastermind behind the Hyperloop is Elon Musk
who first published a 58 page white-paper on the web-
site of his company-Space X It was available to all
and was titled Hyperloop alpha The Hyperloop may
be the pioneer of a whole new era of transportation
traveling a distance which would otherwise take 12
hours in just I hour it has crossed all known bounda-
ries and created higher limits for us to reach and reach
we must for when time is money and money is time
an option that saves both needs to be used
Exams are good or bad -Nupoor Teli VIII
In my humble opinion exams are pressure on the stu-
dents They are forced to study and score good marks
which can lead to frustration An environment of com-
petitiveness of standing first is created for which stu-
dents keep on studying day and night without any rec-
reation It is good to study but not just for the sake of
gaining marks
Why do we study What is the main intention behind
education Seeking interesting and fascinating
knowledge as well as facts about the world But now-a
-days the main reason for studying is gaining marks
If there are no marks no career and no success This
is the mindset of 70 people of the world especially
parents They pressurize their children so much that
they get depressed or sometimes attempt suicide as
wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-
ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities
chapter test after every topic notebookfile submis-
sion etc And as cherry on top of the cake we have the
semester exams of eighty marks as well What all will
the students do And even if any extra-curricular ac-
tivities are being learnt then more extra studies Just
study study and study
Why so much of tension on the children Under this
tension only they start cheating As time passes cheat-
ing becomes a habit of their lifeI fell that exams
should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate
whether the students are clear with the concepts or
not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but
should be made understand their mistakes Let them
choose their own career options on their own Help
them know what they like to study and what they want
to do in their life So dont pressurize students for
what they dont like and encourage them in what they
do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the
country

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B
Life is all about interactions You meet people and
you interact You observe them consciously or sub-
consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us
more than we even realise Some people leave a last-
ing impression on us and entirely change the course of
life for better or for worse Some people influence us
help us go further and make all the difference
I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-
tial people They have taken care of me ever since I
came into this world They are the ones who wish the
best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-
cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel
no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-
come a part of my personality They are the ones who
helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me
to be better
When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are
the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-
takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique
learning experience It has made me realise how eve-
rything they do has a reason They are the ones who
have taught me the importance of the little things in
life They are the ones who have helped me recognize
and follow my passion The very thought of them not
being a part of my life is scary to the least as without
them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am
today and whatever I have achieved is all because of
them and I am very grateful of that
Eyesight
-Aditi Shenoy VIII-F
The tired little girl went to bed
Recollecting the days bygone
Seeing them in her dreams
As the day she was born
Trying to see the world
With her little eyes
But the sun with his brightness
Wouldnt let her catch the sights
The girl still eager
And curious to see the world around her
Again opened her eyes
But her vision was blurred
Still she did not lose hope
Which flowed through her blood
Encouraging and pushing her
To see the world further
Her heart beating fast
Her enthusiasm increasing
She slowly tried to see
With her eyes continuously blinking
Starting to lose hope
She was ready to give up
But curiosity got the upper hand
And pushed her forward
With her hope again rising
and strength in her eyesight
She is finally seeing the world
With wide open eyes

Conquering the space
-Marisha Nath VIII-C
ldquoThere is no failure in Science it is only continual
effort to conquer the unknown On the way even if we
face failure it rather adds more value to our effort for
our next journey to know the unknownrdquo
Chandrayan-2 Indiarsquos Moon Mission The dream of
entire India to land on moon and become the 4th Na-
tion in the world to put its flag on the soil of moon
after USSR USA amp China
ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launched
Chandrayan-2 on 22nd July 2019 from Bengaluru
(Satish Dhawan Space Center) under the command of
ISRO chief K Shivan It consists of ORBITER
LANDER amp Lunar Rover PRAGYAN Like Chandra-
yan-1(22nd Oct2008) it was Indiarsquos indigenous moon
mission
It touched the Moon Surface on Saturday early morn-
ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-
ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-
ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of
moon it lost contact with the ground station Because
of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be
monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m
(approx) away from its assigned location near
SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still
orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange
signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it
The ORBITER which will remain active for another
12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-
owed portion of the moon for the first time in history
with the help of its high-resolution camera
The entire Nation irrespective of their field of
knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front
of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of
VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true
Indians who always dream progress and development
of their motherland But our heart never accepts this
as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement
for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-
pose of our mission
But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at
this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring
country quoting this as a big failure on part of India
blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos
money on this
Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will
be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to
this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other
nations on such missions
Further I should say that India is not new in the field
of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-
TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975
It was named after famous scientist of ancient India
ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested
for the first time the HELIOCENTRIC THEORY
(Sun at the center and all planets revolve around the
Sun) of the Solar System much earlier than ready for
New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 57
COPERNICUS as believed in the western world
Other countries might have moon on their flags but
we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is
great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are
whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-
rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is
only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the
unknown and its continual application for the benefit
of the mankind)rdquo
Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by
various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-
PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-
cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958
onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as
46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was
attempted out of which only 21 was successful
Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-
tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the
overall attempts conducted by other Nations
USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-
NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was
planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January
SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR
successfully on moon
NASA after many attempts was successful to send
first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th
July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk
on moon
Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-
clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-
SION MANGAL for our next moon mission

The night before the final examination
-Marisha Nath VIII- C
The night before the final examination appears to all
examinees as the night before the Battle of Waterloo
might have appeared to Napoleon or the Duke of Wel-
lington Our system of education being what it is we
examinees are bound to be anxious about the nature of
the nature of the questions we will have to answer
next day Even an earnest student who has done all
that needs be done by way of nervousness uncertainty
and suspense on the night before the examination The
morning of the examination finds them prostate with
nervous disorder
But this is one side the picture There are students
who may be described as soldiers of fortune They are
daredevil youngsters who do not take their examina-
tions seriously But their lack of preparation is more
than made up for by the short cuts or bazar notes they
have provided themselves with Even on the night
before the examina-
tion they would be
going about their
daily rounds They
may be found in the parks cafes and restaurants talk-
ing about tips ndashtalking glibly and confidently about
what questions are sure to come The morning of the
examination finds them as cheerful as they were on
the night before
What is needed most is self-confidence and a cool
head True we do not remember all that we have read
when we go to the Examination Hall This does not
mean that we have forgotten them Many things re-
main in the sub ndashconscious region They jump into
consciousness when we face the questions and seri-
ously think of the answers Often such answers score
more marks than prepared ones
Elegance
-Prajna VIII-D
Elegant you be for the universe to learn your versatility
Brighter you shine the orb will know your sustenance
The stars moons and clouds let know your dignity
Apparently it seems your flawless abundance
The ideal triumph mustnrsquot be exaggerated
Till you salve someonersquos hurt
Elegant you be for the universe to learn your versatility
How can you be silent if you donrsquot know your efficiency
One of the values to become successful is simplicity
Through elegance letrsquos spread positivist

Chocoland - Talreja Aastha IV-J
Once I had been to the Chocolate Land
Chocolate all around to the reach of my hand
Toffees candies lollies and bars
In my mouth a crunchy munchy war
White dark nutty and sweet
Just like a dreamy treat
Colourful wrapper shiny and bright
Which one to choose which would be right
Houses made of chocolates and doors made of bars
And out stood there a chocolate car
Soon after it was 6 oclock
And could hear the doorrsquos knock
I woke up in a hurry
Just to realise that it was a dream
Me Myself

Thousands of stars in the sky will all be mine
I never know in future what I will be and where I will
be
But I surely know you will always love me
I am very lucky Shirley girl

The ant and the elephant
- SOUMEN RAO IV-E
Once upon a time in a forest there lived an ant and an
elephant The elephant was the biggest among all the
elephants So he was very proud of himself and used
to criticize everyone and the ant which was the tiniest
among them was very happy and cheerful It used to
help everyone I its own way
All the animals in the forest used to complain about
the egoistic elephant So one day when the ant saw the
elephant walking towards it it immediately thought of
a plan As soon as the elephant came near the ant
said ldquoHello My friendrdquo but the elephant replied rude-
ly saying ldquoYou tiny
ant Get off my way
otherwise yoursquoll get
crushed to deathrdquo
Hearing this ant
challenged the elephant sayingrdquo My big friend I can
make you cryrdquo The ant quickly climbed onto the trunk
of the elephant and ran towards its earit went inside
the ear and started biting the elephants ear The ele-
phant tried to flap its ears but in vain After a few
minutes tears started rolling down its eyes It cried
ldquoPlease come out of my ear I canrsquot bear the painrdquo As
soon as the ant came out the elephant apologized for
its mistake and didnrsquot tease any animals from that day
Grandparents
-Aditya Patil VIII-E
The best place in vacation
A heaven like destination
Their love for us is endless
All their sacrifices are worthless
Great is their surrounding divinity
In front of our ordinary identity
To your grandparents never be rude
Because they are your
coolest dude
They yell at our parents
when we are shouted
With generosity and be-
nevolence they are bounded
Be sure to always meet your grandparents once in a
while and enhance yourself by their presence

Women Empowerment
- Devangi Dongre VII-B
The abilities of women in making decisions education and profession have
been largely suppressed since ages considering them inferior to men The situa-
tion is worst in underdeveloped and developing nations where women in a fami-
ly are not allowed to take financial decisions or decide on matters regarding their own education
With such state of affairs it would be a fallacy to dream about the goals of sustainable development and gen-
der equality There is an instant need to take measures to lift the social personal and professional status of
women bringing them shoulder to shoulder with men These particular measures constitute a process which
is known as ldquoWomen Empowermentrdquo Providing better education and employment opportunities to women
ensuring their better health providing justice and ensuring professional equivalence are the few methods of
women empowerment
Water Conservation
- Paarth Bhagat VII-J
Water is life If there was no water there would be no
life Hence water is the precious gift of God to mother
Earth We cannot imagine our lives without water
We human beings are made up of water it is the only
transportation medium that carries the food molecules
and oxygen to the cells of every body parts to help the
blood It signifies that water is the most essential in-
gredient to the functioning of life of every organism
So you see living this wonderful life is impossible
without water
Water is the force behind all the industry agriculture
manufacturing and trade and commerce All forms of
energy generation is done using water Be it hydroe-
lectrically projects or thermal power plant or nuclear
power plant water is
the key ingredient in
all of them There
would be no power
without water No
water no life
So it is our responsibility to conserve this life nectar
It is possible only through by changing our outlook
towards this wonderful natural resource We must en-
sure there is no pollution of water bodies by dumping
any waste such as sewage effluents and other toxic
substances We must also ensure there is no emission
of green-house gases into the atmosphere The people
and the government must ensure installation of efflu-
ents and smoke treatment plants at industrial garbage
and sewage units

The kind Fairies -Aditys Patil VIII-E
This story starts with two beautiful babies in a king-
dom called fairyland The babies were very pretty
Their names were Ovi and Riddhi They were growing
pretty well As they grew they became more and
more pretty Over and over they were also fairies and
within 5 years they became young girls Their mother
told them to go to school The girls askedwhere are
the schools There are no schools here Mother said
dont worry you will go to the planet Earth On the
planet Earth there is a very good school named New
Horizon Public School and the short form is nhps We
said ok On the first day of our school we were very
afraid but after a few days we
became more smart than the
others We were getting a lot of
prizes which we shared with
eveyone in the school This
made us and others happy One day We became the
princess of fairyland Our wings were like a rainbow
We were twins and had very long hairs Now I end
my story with a beautiful quote
ALWAYS HELP EACH OTHER LIKE THE
FARIES BECAUSE HELPING PEOPLE IS THE
PATH TO GOD
The Day Irsquoll Never Forget - Saranya Sarangi VII -
It was a day of love and affection
There was no visible sign of caution
But something unfortunate was going to happen
Nobody knew where and when
There was a blast at half past three
In a beauty land called Paradise On Earth
A complete silence and pity hadnrsquot the thee
Perished laid the martyrs
Whom our motherland gave birth
I still remember that scaring sight
The scattered limbs I couldnrsquot see
My heart got filled with grief and fright
No Indian could glee
Terribly writhing the soldiers were seen
Some families languished and some
were crying
So loyal to their country they had been
None of their families were mollifying
Whatever homage to our martyrs we pay
Tiny before their they lay
Salute to their tribute to motherland
To protect us they always walked hand in hand
Little Birdie - Marisha Nath VIII-C
I am a little birdie in the sky
With two wings to fly
I never disturb you
I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom
O human Then why do you steal my FREEDOM
Binding me alone in the cage makes me sad
Donrsquot you know caging a bird is bad
Looking at the sky
I wish I could fly
I never disturb you
I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom
O human Then why do you steal my
FREEDOM

Summers in India - Saranya Sarangi VIII
A hot season beginning from April till May is what we
call summer And thatrsquos the basic rule in India But
thatrsquos not something through which we can define
summers in our country India The sun shining high
above the head increasing the heat and this scorching
heat is something very unique about summers in India
Those ice-lolly stalls roaming down the streets tin-
kling their tiny bells is something special one will nev-
er find in any other country Many people love this
season
Especially the children as they get to eat ice-creams
Many people even donrsquot As they feel that this season
can only make a person dehydrated exhausted and irri-
tated Summer as we think as an unfruitful season is
contrast in reality Schools conduct summer camps
during vacation where stu-
dents can join different aca-
demic and co-curricular
courses to improve them-
selves Many children even spend time with their fami-
lies
Often families plan trips to different places as they get
a very long vacation during this season But now-a-
days due to increasing heat these pleasant summers
are becoming unbearable Every just sweat and sweat
We get a lethargic feeling not ready to do any work
Due to this heat we continually keep the ACs on which
consume a lot of electricity creating trouble for our
mother Earth and us Gradually that charm of the
unique kind of summers will be lost if precautions are
not taken We must really hope and work hard to bring
back our lovely lsquoSummers in Indiarsquo
Exams are good or bad
- Nupoor Teli VIIIndashI
In my humble opinionexams are apressure on the stu-
dents They are forced to study and score good
markswhich can lead to frustration An environmentof
competitivenessof standing first is created for which
students keep on studying day and night without any
recreation It is good to studybut not just for the sake
of gaining marks
Why do we study What is the main intention behind
education Seeking intersresting and fascinating
knowledge as well as facts about the world But now-a
-daysthe main reason for studying is gaining marks If
there are no marksno career andno success This is the
mindset of 70 people of the worldespecially parents
They pressurize their children so much that they get
depressed or sometimes attempt suicide as well
Every two months an exam is conducted Moreo-
verthere are projectssubject-enrichment activi-
tieschapter test sfter every topicnotebookfile submis
sion etcAnd as acherry on top
of the cakewe have the semes-
ter exams of eighty marks as
well What all will the students
do And even if any extra-
curricular activities are being learntthen more extra
studies Just studystudy and study
Why so much of tension on the children Under this
tension only they start cheating As time passes cheat-
ing becomes a habit of their life
I fell that exams should be conducted once a term in
order to evaluate whether the students are clear with
the concepts or notThey shouldnt be pressurized for
their marksbut should be made understand their mis-
takes Let them choose their own career options on
their own Help them knowwhat they like to study and
what they want to do in their life So dont pressurize
students for what they dont likeand encourage them in
what they do After allthey are only the Rising stars of
the country

Life is magical - Piyush Sahoo VII-H
A new day or a new night
Everything in life seems bright
A new morning or a new evening
Life is full of happening
A life is just like a kite
It may disappear in a sight
Life moves from baby to old
Make your life challenging and bold
Enjoy life the fullest
Never accept less than best
Unlikely life comes to an end
But remember never to bend
Happy sadness victory and loss
Accept it the way it comes
Life can be at times tragical
But make it the most beautiful
Life is magicalhellip
Life is so magicalhellip
Humility -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
Humility is having a heart to treat others with respect
and love Considering people worthy of your love
time and efforts regardless of who they are or what
they have done A person is truly humble when they
are willing to work hard for others expecting nothing
in return
Humility has the power to change a personrsquos perspec-
tive towards life It can make a difference in the way a
person is looked upon by others Doing an act of hum-
bleness can make a personrsquos day Humility is about
not having an ego or considering things below your
dignity or considering yourself greater than others
People often confuse humility with self-respect They
canrsquot make out the difference between being useful to
others and being used by others
It takes courage to be humble
because in the era in which we
live humility is looked upon as
weakness People assume yoursquore not strong enough to
stand up for yourself They think you surrender in-
stead of protesting They will despise and scorn you
but they donrsquot know that you take pleasure in what
you do because they havenrsquot experienced that kind of
joy
So if you do have humility donrsquot draw back from it
because of what others think Whatever you are doing
is for the good of others and you have no need to be
ashamed of that Humbleness will spread from person
to person Who knows maybe your one act of humili-
ty will spread on to help a person in need So be brave
be humble
Mom -Tanvi Sawant VII-C
Oh mom I came to this beautiful world just because

Oh mom this world is incomplete
without you
Just like the sky without itrsquos bright color bluehellip
Oh mom yoursquore the candle that showed the way in the

I am the EARTH - Deepashikha P VII F
Hello I am the Earth
For me I am the sweetest heart
I provide you with lots of stuff
With food and the mangoes that you love
I give you water soil and Sun
I am special as I am just one
But the humans living on me
Are making me dirty
They are cutting all the trees
And killing all the species helliphellip
They filling me with smoke and death
They are killing themselves
with lack of breath
I am the Earth
I am your mother
Make me the best by pol-
luting me less and less
And preventing my green dress
You can save water
you plant a tree
Make a better home for you on me
Recycle things donrsquot throw them awayhellip

OUR FUTURE EARTH - Hiya Purswani VIII-B
We all know the present condition of our environment
around us Inspite of advanced and modern technolo-
gy we humans are still not able to find a solution
Early humans neither they had much technology nor
they had enough intelligence but still in the early ages
the environment was clean making it the reason for
the increasing life span of humans Its a shocking
news to know that the amount of plastic bottles pro-
duced now may lead to increase in plastic pollution
and cause several death Its a great opportunity to be
as a human in this beautiful earth and so its our re-
sponsibility to make it clean In monsoon people cut
down trees to prevent accidents to occur but do we
plant trees in summer to prevent more global warm-
ing We can prevent bad things to happen but not can-
not take that much effort for good things to spread
Have you ever wondered while seeing a tap open how
many taps are left open at the same time in the whole
world It might sound unbelievable there can be a
World War III on water land and fresh air The way
we are thinking about the wastage of water may lead
us to a massive pain Itrsquos truly said by Warren Buffet
sometimes to buy things we need we have to sell
things we do not need This happens in the case of
lacking of intelligence We say every scholar is a true
genius but in my
opinion a person is
genius if he has the
ability to save and
change things in his
own way We all have the ability to save this earth
but our thoughts our ego and our greediness is stop-
ping us to think in a better way Everyone has a good
and a bad side in his life What matters is the part we
choose to act upon This is an excellent thought said
by Sirius Black in the movie Harry Potter Itrsquos time to
bring a change We always have time to do good
things all we need is hope Spreading awareness is the
best idea to bring a change If everyone stops thinking
about their economical needs and start contributing
towards the environment by planting more trees cer-
tainly there will be a beneficial change in this world
Neither do we think about the future nor care about
the present Why not be an optimist and think in a
positive way of life Our studies our needs our
knowledge will not help us in any way if we donʼt
change Its not that easy to plant a tree and care for it a
whole year if we only plant it with all our love nature
is certainly going to care for it Lastly I would like to
end with a quoterdquo Come forth in the light of things
nature will be your teacher
The Small Hours Pranjal Anil Chavan V-C
No more my little song Come back
And now of nights I lay my head on down
to watch the black
And wait the unfailing gray
Oh Sad are winter nights and slow
And sad is a song thatrsquos dumb
And sad it is to lie I know
Another dawn will come

Floods and Destruction
- Nirvi Soni IV-H
India faces occurrence of floods each year in some
parts of Assam during the rainy season Water of river
Brahmaputra rises and enters into many villages
causing great destruction Floods are unavoidable but
we need to take precautions in the following ways by
reducing mining activities building dams growing
more trees etc During floods the weather becomes
wet and gloomy Trees and plants get uprooted This
way floods cause great de-
struction to both life and
property It also becomes dif-
ficult to travel from place to
place Many people are left
homeless The rain water should be harvested and
stored in large storage tanks The harvested rainwater
can be used for washing clothes and cleaning By us-
ing rain water in our daily life we can preserve water
resources
Good Morning Everyone -Vyomi ThakkarVI - H
Come with me wersquoll have some fun
Wersquoll go on a walk
Donrsquot worry will have a great talk
Roaming around the ground
With beautiful birdrsquos sound
We donrsquot know if anything will be found
Wersquoll surely find the crown
Up on the chilled mountain
We saw a beautiful fountain
Surrounded by a beautiful castle
Decorated with the colourful tassel
Just be quiet and keen
Soon you will be the queen
Think before you speak
-Shravya Atreya IX-D
Think before you speak
There are hearts you must please
Think before you speak
You canrsquot undo the harm done after you squeak
Think before you speak
You might have done greater harm than you might
think
Think before you speak
There are still places left for you
to seek
Think before you speak
There is a long way to go before
you sleep
Think before you speak
There are hearts you must
please
Sunrise -Anuradha Singh VII-H

GLOBAL WARMING - Adhyant Singh VII-F
Global warming refers to the steady rise in the Earthrsquos mean temperature The effect of global
warming had come into sight when polar ice caps started melting this phenomena is called ICE ndash
ALBEDO the ice caps melt faster due to the rise in the temperature This sudden rise in the temperature near
the poles began in 1999 The polar ice caps in Antarctica melt at the rate of 400000000000 tons per year ac-
cording to some scientists it would approximately take 5000 years to melt the total ice on earth In 2013 Inter-
governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) stated that the main cause of Global warming is human inter-
vention like emission of Green house gases like Carbon-Di-Oxide nitrous oxide and methane
These gases trap the heat which is reflected by the Earthrsquos surface thus increasing the temperature and also
destroying the ozone layer which prevents the ultraviolet rays of the sun from reaching the earthrsquos surface Al-
so burning fossil fuel contributes to the problem Effects of global warming have also led to the increase in the
sea level and extreme weather like heat waves and change in the regional pattern of precipitation and the ex-
pansion of desserts A concentrated and focused effort by the entire humanity can curb down the impact of
Global warming and also prevent it Planting more trees to control the amount of carbon-di-oxide eliminating
the use of chlorofluorocarbon or (CFCrsquoS) are a few steps All the countries have signed up with the United Na-
tions Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to prevent the doomsday of Earth So to prevent
earthrsquos doomsday we all must work together
Itrsquos not too late there is still timehellipBefore the earth ends and we whinehellipSo keep on marching and planting
greens To end Global Warming and Make our planet greenhellip
What will happen without Instagram

The Night - Matangi Rajesh VII-D
Its the night
The moon is white
When we switch off the light
What a beautiful sight
After this comes the sun bright
There is no more artificial light
This is the time to start your diet
To go for a run wearing tights
Then comes the evening when
you have snacks light
And fly a big colorful kite
or include your sibling in a pillow fight
Again comes the night
A moon which is white
We switch off the light
A beautiful sight

Hyperloop -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
Human inventions have baffled the world They are
innumerable ranging from revolutionizing
smartphones to not-so-breathtaking ice cream cones
but they play a role in our life just the same The
things which are commonplace to us now were unbe-
knownst to people once upon a time For the people of
the 19th century the car was a thing of the future until
in 1885 Karl Benz ran his first car on the road Then
for centuries people took the prospect of of flying like
the birds as only a wild possibility which was made
possible in 1903 when the Wright Brothers flew the
first plane
What is the thing of the future for us Well we are the
future modifying and bettering the things that have
been made and crating stuff that we didnt even dare
to imagine about The Hyperloop fulfills both aspects
of the definition a very advanced model of our faith-
ful train and yet a brand new idea to scale greater
heights The Hyperloop is an ideal mode of efficient
transport Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane
with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing
speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt have to
ace the two types of friction that every other vehicle
has to face Air resistance and ground friction The
pods of the Hyperloop are propelled through a depres-
surized tub Since it is almost vacuum very little air
resistance can be offered inside the tube Due to this
the energy required to travel is also very less The Hy-
perloops unique technology uses magnetic levitation
to guide and lift the pods of the rail Since the pod is
not in contact with the ground there is no friction act-
ing on itThe first Hyperloop ndash virgin Hyperloop one
is set to run with passengers as early as 2021 and is
created by SpaceX and Tesla
The mastermind behind the Hyperloop is Elon Musk
who first published a 58 page white-paper on the web-
site of his company-Space X It was available to all
and was titled Hyperloop alpha The Hyperloop may
be the pioneer of a whole new era of transportation
traveling a distance which would otherwise take 12
hours in just I hour it has crossed all known bounda-
ries and created higher limits for us to reach and reach
we must for when time is money and money is time
an option that saves both needs to be used
Exams are good or bad -Nupoor Teli VIII
In my humble opinion exams are pressure on the stu-
dents They are forced to study and score good marks
which can lead to frustration An environment of com-
petitiveness of standing first is created for which stu-
dents keep on studying day and night without any rec-
reation It is good to study but not just for the sake of
gaining marks
Why do we study What is the main intention behind
education Seeking interesting and fascinating
knowledge as well as facts about the world But now-a
-days the main reason for studying is gaining marks
If there are no marks no career and no success This
is the mindset of 70 people of the world especially
parents They pressurize their children so much that
they get depressed or sometimes attempt suicide as
wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-
ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities
chapter test after every topic notebookfile submis-
sion etc And as cherry on top of the cake we have the
semester exams of eighty marks as well What all will
the students do And even if any extra-curricular ac-
tivities are being learnt then more extra studies Just
study study and study
Why so much of tension on the children Under this
tension only they start cheating As time passes cheat-
ing becomes a habit of their lifeI fell that exams
should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate
whether the students are clear with the concepts or
not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but
should be made understand their mistakes Let them
choose their own career options on their own Help
them know what they like to study and what they want
to do in their life So dont pressurize students for
what they dont like and encourage them in what they
do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the
country

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B
Life is all about interactions You meet people and
you interact You observe them consciously or sub-
consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us
more than we even realise Some people leave a last-
ing impression on us and entirely change the course of
life for better or for worse Some people influence us
help us go further and make all the difference
I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-
tial people They have taken care of me ever since I
came into this world They are the ones who wish the
best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-
cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel
no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-
come a part of my personality They are the ones who
helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me
to be better
When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are
the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-
takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique
learning experience It has made me realise how eve-
rything they do has a reason They are the ones who
have taught me the importance of the little things in
life They are the ones who have helped me recognize
and follow my passion The very thought of them not
being a part of my life is scary to the least as without
them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am
today and whatever I have achieved is all because of
them and I am very grateful of that
Eyesight
-Aditi Shenoy VIII-F
The tired little girl went to bed
Recollecting the days bygone
Seeing them in her dreams
As the day she was born
Trying to see the world
With her little eyes
But the sun with his brightness
Wouldnt let her catch the sights
The girl still eager
And curious to see the world around her
Again opened her eyes
But her vision was blurred
Still she did not lose hope
Which flowed through her blood
Encouraging and pushing her
To see the world further
Her heart beating fast
Her enthusiasm increasing
She slowly tried to see
With her eyes continuously blinking
Starting to lose hope
She was ready to give up
But curiosity got the upper hand
And pushed her forward
With her hope again rising
and strength in her eyesight
She is finally seeing the world
With wide open eyes

Conquering the space
-Marisha Nath VIII-C
ldquoThere is no failure in Science it is only continual
effort to conquer the unknown On the way even if we
face failure it rather adds more value to our effort for
our next journey to know the unknownrdquo
Chandrayan-2 Indiarsquos Moon Mission The dream of
entire India to land on moon and become the 4th Na-
tion in the world to put its flag on the soil of moon
after USSR USA amp China
ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launched
Chandrayan-2 on 22nd July 2019 from Bengaluru
(Satish Dhawan Space Center) under the command of
ISRO chief K Shivan It consists of ORBITER
LANDER amp Lunar Rover PRAGYAN Like Chandra-
yan-1(22nd Oct2008) it was Indiarsquos indigenous moon
mission
It touched the Moon Surface on Saturday early morn-
ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-
ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-
ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of
moon it lost contact with the ground station Because
of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be
monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m
(approx) away from its assigned location near
SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still
orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange
signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it
The ORBITER which will remain active for another
12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-
owed portion of the moon for the first time in history
with the help of its high-resolution camera
The entire Nation irrespective of their field of
knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front
of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of
VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true
Indians who always dream progress and development
of their motherland But our heart never accepts this
as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement
for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-
pose of our mission
But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at
this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring
country quoting this as a big failure on part of India
blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos
money on this
Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will
be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to
this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other
nations on such missions
Further I should say that India is not new in the field
of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-
TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975
It was named after famous scientist of ancient India
ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested
for the first time the HELIOCENTRIC THEORY
(Sun at the center and all planets revolve around the
Sun) of the Solar System much earlier than ready for
New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 57
COPERNICUS as believed in the western world
Other countries might have moon on their flags but
we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is
great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are
whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-
rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is
only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the
unknown and its continual application for the benefit
of the mankind)rdquo
Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by
various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-
PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-
cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958
onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as
46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was
attempted out of which only 21 was successful
Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-
tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the
overall attempts conducted by other Nations
USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-
NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was
planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January
SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR
successfully on moon
NASA after many attempts was successful to send
first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th
July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk
on moon
Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-
clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-
SION MANGAL for our next moon mission

The night before the final examination
-Marisha Nath VIII- C
The night before the final examination appears to all
examinees as the night before the Battle of Waterloo
might have appeared to Napoleon or the Duke of Wel-
lington Our system of education being what it is we
examinees are bound to be anxious about the nature of
the nature of the questions we will have to answer
next day Even an earnest student who has done all
that needs be done by way of nervousness uncertainty
and suspense on the night before the examination The
morning of the examination finds them prostate with
nervous disorder
But this is one side the picture There are students
who may be described as soldiers of fortune They are
daredevil youngsters who do not take their examina-
tions seriously But their lack of preparation is more
than made up for by the short cuts or bazar notes they
have provided themselves with Even on the night
before the examina-
tion they would be
going about their
daily rounds They
may be found in the parks cafes and restaurants talk-
ing about tips ndashtalking glibly and confidently about
what questions are sure to come The morning of the
examination finds them as cheerful as they were on
the night before
What is needed most is self-confidence and a cool
head True we do not remember all that we have read
when we go to the Examination Hall This does not
mean that we have forgotten them Many things re-
main in the sub ndashconscious region They jump into
consciousness when we face the questions and seri-
ously think of the answers Often such answers score
more marks than prepared ones

How can you be silent if you donrsquot know your efficiency

Toffees candies lollies and bars
In my mouth a crunchy munchy war
White dark nutty and sweet
Just like a dreamy treat
Colourful wrapper shiny and bright
Which one to choose which would be right
Houses made of chocolates and doors made of bars
And out stood there a chocolate car
Soon after it was 6 oclock
And could hear the doorrsquos knock
I woke up in a hurry
Just to realise that it was a dream

The ant and the elephant
- SOUMEN RAO IV-E
Once upon a time in a forest there lived an ant and an
elephant The elephant was the biggest among all the
elephants So he was very proud of himself and used
to criticize everyone and the ant which was the tiniest
among them was very happy and cheerful It used to
help everyone I its own way
All the animals in the forest used to complain about
the egoistic elephant So one day when the ant saw the
elephant walking towards it it immediately thought of
a plan As soon as the elephant came near the ant
said ldquoHello My friendrdquo but the elephant replied rude-
ly saying ldquoYou tiny
ant Get off my way
otherwise yoursquoll get
crushed to deathrdquo
Hearing this ant
challenged the elephant sayingrdquo My big friend I can
make you cryrdquo The ant quickly climbed onto the trunk
of the elephant and ran towards its earit went inside
the ear and started biting the elephants ear The ele-
phant tried to flap its ears but in vain After a few
minutes tears started rolling down its eyes It cried
ldquoPlease come out of my ear I canrsquot bear the painrdquo As
soon as the ant came out the elephant apologized for
its mistake and didnrsquot tease any animals from that day
Grandparents
-Aditya Patil VIII-E
The best place in vacation
A heaven like destination
Their love for us is endless
All their sacrifices are worthless
Great is their surrounding divinity
In front of our ordinary identity
To your grandparents never be rude
Because they are your
coolest dude
They yell at our parents
when we are shouted
With generosity and be-
nevolence they are bounded
Be sure to always meet your grandparents once in a
while and enhance yourself by their presence

Women Empowerment
- Devangi Dongre VII-B
The abilities of women in making decisions education and profession have
been largely suppressed since ages considering them inferior to men The situa-
tion is worst in underdeveloped and developing nations where women in a fami-
ly are not allowed to take financial decisions or decide on matters regarding their own education
With such state of affairs it would be a fallacy to dream about the goals of sustainable development and gen-
der equality There is an instant need to take measures to lift the social personal and professional status of
women bringing them shoulder to shoulder with men These particular measures constitute a process which
is known as ldquoWomen Empowermentrdquo Providing better education and employment opportunities to women
ensuring their better health providing justice and ensuring professional equivalence are the few methods of
women empowerment
Water Conservation
- Paarth Bhagat VII-J
Water is life If there was no water there would be no
life Hence water is the precious gift of God to mother
Earth We cannot imagine our lives without water
We human beings are made up of water it is the only
transportation medium that carries the food molecules
and oxygen to the cells of every body parts to help the
blood It signifies that water is the most essential in-
gredient to the functioning of life of every organism
So you see living this wonderful life is impossible
without water
Water is the force behind all the industry agriculture
manufacturing and trade and commerce All forms of
energy generation is done using water Be it hydroe-
lectrically projects or thermal power plant or nuclear
power plant water is
the key ingredient in
all of them There
would be no power
without water No
water no life
So it is our responsibility to conserve this life nectar
It is possible only through by changing our outlook
towards this wonderful natural resource We must en-
sure there is no pollution of water bodies by dumping
any waste such as sewage effluents and other toxic
substances We must also ensure there is no emission
of green-house gases into the atmosphere The people
and the government must ensure installation of efflu-
ents and smoke treatment plants at industrial garbage
and sewage units

The kind Fairies -Aditys Patil VIII-E
This story starts with two beautiful babies in a king-
dom called fairyland The babies were very pretty
Their names were Ovi and Riddhi They were growing
pretty well As they grew they became more and
more pretty Over and over they were also fairies and
within 5 years they became young girls Their mother
told them to go to school The girls askedwhere are
the schools There are no schools here Mother said
dont worry you will go to the planet Earth On the
planet Earth there is a very good school named New
Horizon Public School and the short form is nhps We
said ok On the first day of our school we were very
afraid but after a few days we
became more smart than the
others We were getting a lot of
prizes which we shared with
eveyone in the school This
made us and others happy One day We became the
princess of fairyland Our wings were like a rainbow
We were twins and had very long hairs Now I end
my story with a beautiful quote
ALWAYS HELP EACH OTHER LIKE THE
FARIES BECAUSE HELPING PEOPLE IS THE
PATH TO GOD
The Day Irsquoll Never Forget - Saranya Sarangi VII -
It was a day of love and affection
There was no visible sign of caution
But something unfortunate was going to happen
Nobody knew where and when
There was a blast at half past three
In a beauty land called Paradise On Earth
A complete silence and pity hadnrsquot the thee
Perished laid the martyrs
Whom our motherland gave birth
I still remember that scaring sight
The scattered limbs I couldnrsquot see
My heart got filled with grief and fright
No Indian could glee
Terribly writhing the soldiers were seen
Some families languished and some
were crying
So loyal to their country they had been
None of their families were mollifying
Whatever homage to our martyrs we pay
Tiny before their they lay
Salute to their tribute to motherland
To protect us they always walked hand in hand
Little Birdie - Marisha Nath VIII-C
I am a little birdie in the sky
With two wings to fly
I never disturb you
I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom
O human Then why do you steal my FREEDOM
Binding me alone in the cage makes me sad
Donrsquot you know caging a bird is bad
Looking at the sky
I wish I could fly
I never disturb you
I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom
O human Then why do you steal my
FREEDOM

Summers in India - Saranya Sarangi VIII
A hot season beginning from April till May is what we
call summer And thatrsquos the basic rule in India But
thatrsquos not something through which we can define
summers in our country India The sun shining high
above the head increasing the heat and this scorching
heat is something very unique about summers in India
Those ice-lolly stalls roaming down the streets tin-
kling their tiny bells is something special one will nev-
er find in any other country Many people love this
season
Especially the children as they get to eat ice-creams
Many people even donrsquot As they feel that this season
can only make a person dehydrated exhausted and irri-
tated Summer as we think as an unfruitful season is
contrast in reality Schools conduct summer camps
during vacation where stu-
dents can join different aca-
demic and co-curricular
courses to improve them-
selves Many children even spend time with their fami-
lies
Often families plan trips to different places as they get
a very long vacation during this season But now-a-
days due to increasing heat these pleasant summers
are becoming unbearable Every just sweat and sweat
We get a lethargic feeling not ready to do any work
Due to this heat we continually keep the ACs on which
consume a lot of electricity creating trouble for our
mother Earth and us Gradually that charm of the
unique kind of summers will be lost if precautions are
not taken We must really hope and work hard to bring
back our lovely lsquoSummers in Indiarsquo
Exams are good or bad
- Nupoor Teli VIIIndashI
In my humble opinionexams are apressure on the stu-
dents They are forced to study and score good
markswhich can lead to frustration An environmentof
competitivenessof standing first is created for which
students keep on studying day and night without any
recreation It is good to studybut not just for the sake
of gaining marks
Why do we study What is the main intention behind
education Seeking intersresting and fascinating
knowledge as well as facts about the world But now-a
-daysthe main reason for studying is gaining marks If
there are no marksno career andno success This is the
mindset of 70 people of the worldespecially parents
They pressurize their children so much that they get
depressed or sometimes attempt suicide as well
Every two months an exam is conducted Moreo-
verthere are projectssubject-enrichment activi-
tieschapter test sfter every topicnotebookfile submis
sion etcAnd as acherry on top
of the cakewe have the semes-
ter exams of eighty marks as
well What all will the students
do And even if any extra-
curricular activities are being learntthen more extra
studies Just studystudy and study
Why so much of tension on the children Under this
tension only they start cheating As time passes cheat-
ing becomes a habit of their life
I fell that exams should be conducted once a term in
order to evaluate whether the students are clear with
the concepts or notThey shouldnt be pressurized for
their marksbut should be made understand their mis-
takes Let them choose their own career options on
their own Help them knowwhat they like to study and
what they want to do in their life So dont pressurize
students for what they dont likeand encourage them in
what they do After allthey are only the Rising stars of
the country

Life is magical - Piyush Sahoo VII-H
A new day or a new night
Everything in life seems bright
A new morning or a new evening
Life is full of happening
A life is just like a kite
It may disappear in a sight
Life moves from baby to old
Make your life challenging and bold
Enjoy life the fullest
Never accept less than best
Unlikely life comes to an end
But remember never to bend
Happy sadness victory and loss
Accept it the way it comes
Life can be at times tragical
But make it the most beautiful
Life is magicalhellip
Life is so magicalhellip
Humility -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
Humility is having a heart to treat others with respect
and love Considering people worthy of your love
time and efforts regardless of who they are or what
they have done A person is truly humble when they
are willing to work hard for others expecting nothing
in return
Humility has the power to change a personrsquos perspec-
tive towards life It can make a difference in the way a
person is looked upon by others Doing an act of hum-
bleness can make a personrsquos day Humility is about
not having an ego or considering things below your
dignity or considering yourself greater than others
People often confuse humility with self-respect They
canrsquot make out the difference between being useful to
others and being used by others
It takes courage to be humble
because in the era in which we
live humility is looked upon as
weakness People assume yoursquore not strong enough to
stand up for yourself They think you surrender in-
stead of protesting They will despise and scorn you
but they donrsquot know that you take pleasure in what
you do because they havenrsquot experienced that kind of
joy
So if you do have humility donrsquot draw back from it
because of what others think Whatever you are doing
is for the good of others and you have no need to be
ashamed of that Humbleness will spread from person
to person Who knows maybe your one act of humili-
ty will spread on to help a person in need So be brave
be humble
Mom -Tanvi Sawant VII-C
Oh mom I came to this beautiful world just because
of youhellip
Mom what would I do without you
Oh mom there are thorns on the way
But you manage to get me awayhellip
Oh mom I canrsquot say how much yoursquore to me
Mom just promise me that yoursquoll and
always be with mehellip
Oh mom this world is incomplete
without you
Just like the sky without itrsquos bright color bluehellip
Oh mom yoursquore the candle that showed the way in the
dark
My dear mom you made my life spark

OUR FUTURE EARTH - Hiya Purswani VIII-B
We all know the present condition of our environment
around us Inspite of advanced and modern technolo-
gy we humans are still not able to find a solution
Early humans neither they had much technology nor
they had enough intelligence but still in the early ages
the environment was clean making it the reason for
the increasing life span of humans Its a shocking
news to know that the amount of plastic bottles pro-
duced now may lead to increase in plastic pollution
and cause several death Its a great opportunity to be
as a human in this beautiful earth and so its our re-
sponsibility to make it clean In monsoon people cut
down trees to prevent accidents to occur but do we
plant trees in summer to prevent more global warm-
ing We can prevent bad things to happen but not can-
not take that much effort for good things to spread
Have you ever wondered while seeing a tap open how
many taps are left open at the same time in the whole
world It might sound unbelievable there can be a
World War III on water land and fresh air The way
we are thinking about the wastage of water may lead
us to a massive pain Itrsquos truly said by Warren Buffet
sometimes to buy things we need we have to sell
things we do not need This happens in the case of
lacking of intelligence We say every scholar is a true
genius but in my
opinion a person is
genius if he has the
ability to save and
change things in his
own way We all have the ability to save this earth
but our thoughts our ego and our greediness is stop-
ping us to think in a better way Everyone has a good
and a bad side in his life What matters is the part we
choose to act upon This is an excellent thought said
by Sirius Black in the movie Harry Potter Itrsquos time to
bring a change We always have time to do good
things all we need is hope Spreading awareness is the
best idea to bring a change If everyone stops thinking
about their economical needs and start contributing
towards the environment by planting more trees cer-
tainly there will be a beneficial change in this world
Neither do we think about the future nor care about
the present Why not be an optimist and think in a
positive way of life Our studies our needs our
knowledge will not help us in any way if we donʼt
change Its not that easy to plant a tree and care for it a
whole year if we only plant it with all our love nature
is certainly going to care for it Lastly I would like to
end with a quoterdquo Come forth in the light of things
nature will be your teacher
The Small Hours Pranjal Anil Chavan V-C
No more my little song Come back
And now of nights I lay my head on down
to watch the black
And wait the unfailing gray
Oh Sad are winter nights and slow
And sad is a song thatrsquos dumb
And sad it is to lie I know
Another dawn will come

Floods and Destruction
- Nirvi Soni IV-H
India faces occurrence of floods each year in some
parts of Assam during the rainy season Water of river
Brahmaputra rises and enters into many villages
causing great destruction Floods are unavoidable but
we need to take precautions in the following ways by
reducing mining activities building dams growing
more trees etc During floods the weather becomes
wet and gloomy Trees and plants get uprooted This
way floods cause great de-
struction to both life and
property It also becomes dif-
ficult to travel from place to
place Many people are left
homeless The rain water should be harvested and
stored in large storage tanks The harvested rainwater
can be used for washing clothes and cleaning By us-
ing rain water in our daily life we can preserve water
resources
Good Morning Everyone -Vyomi ThakkarVI - H
Come with me wersquoll have some fun
Wersquoll go on a walk
Donrsquot worry will have a great talk
Roaming around the ground
With beautiful birdrsquos sound
We donrsquot know if anything will be found
Wersquoll surely find the crown
Up on the chilled mountain
We saw a beautiful fountain
Surrounded by a beautiful castle
Decorated with the colourful tassel
Just be quiet and keen
Soon you will be the queen
Think before you speak
-Shravya Atreya IX-D
Think before you speak
There are hearts you must please
Think before you speak
You canrsquot undo the harm done after you squeak
Think before you speak
You might have done greater harm than you might
think
Think before you speak
There are still places left for you
to seek
Think before you speak
There is a long way to go before
you sleep
Think before you speak
There are hearts you must
please
Sunrise -Anuradha Singh VII-H

Everything is fine

GLOBAL WARMING - Adhyant Singh VII-F
Global warming refers to the steady rise in the Earthrsquos mean temperature The effect of global
warming had come into sight when polar ice caps started melting this phenomena is called ICE ndash
ALBEDO the ice caps melt faster due to the rise in the temperature This sudden rise in the temperature near
the poles began in 1999 The polar ice caps in Antarctica melt at the rate of 400000000000 tons per year ac-
cording to some scientists it would approximately take 5000 years to melt the total ice on earth In 2013 Inter-
governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) stated that the main cause of Global warming is human inter-
vention like emission of Green house gases like Carbon-Di-Oxide nitrous oxide and methane
These gases trap the heat which is reflected by the Earthrsquos surface thus increasing the temperature and also
destroying the ozone layer which prevents the ultraviolet rays of the sun from reaching the earthrsquos surface Al-
so burning fossil fuel contributes to the problem Effects of global warming have also led to the increase in the
sea level and extreme weather like heat waves and change in the regional pattern of precipitation and the ex-
pansion of desserts A concentrated and focused effort by the entire humanity can curb down the impact of
Global warming and also prevent it Planting more trees to control the amount of carbon-di-oxide eliminating
the use of chlorofluorocarbon or (CFCrsquoS) are a few steps All the countries have signed up with the United Na-
tions Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to prevent the doomsday of Earth So to prevent
earthrsquos doomsday we all must work together
Itrsquos not too late there is still timehellipBefore the earth ends and we whinehellipSo keep on marching and planting
greens To end Global Warming and Make our planet greenhellip

The Night - Matangi Rajesh VII-D
Its the night
The moon is white
When we switch off the light
What a beautiful sight
After this comes the sun bright
There is no more artificial light
This is the time to start your diet
To go for a run wearing tights
Then comes the evening when
you have snacks light
And fly a big colorful kite
or include your sibling in a pillow fight
Again comes the night
A moon which is white
We switch off the light
A beautiful sight

Hyperloop -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
Human inventions have baffled the world They are
innumerable ranging from revolutionizing
smartphones to not-so-breathtaking ice cream cones
but they play a role in our life just the same The
things which are commonplace to us now were unbe-
knownst to people once upon a time For the people of
the 19th century the car was a thing of the future until
in 1885 Karl Benz ran his first car on the road Then
for centuries people took the prospect of of flying like
the birds as only a wild possibility which was made
possible in 1903 when the Wright Brothers flew the
first plane
What is the thing of the future for us Well we are the
future modifying and bettering the things that have
been made and crating stuff that we didnt even dare
to imagine about The Hyperloop fulfills both aspects
of the definition a very advanced model of our faith-
ful train and yet a brand new idea to scale greater
heights The Hyperloop is an ideal mode of efficient
transport Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane
with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing
speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt have to
ace the two types of friction that every other vehicle
has to face Air resistance and ground friction The
pods of the Hyperloop are propelled through a depres-
surized tub Since it is almost vacuum very little air
resistance can be offered inside the tube Due to this
the energy required to travel is also very less The Hy-
perloops unique technology uses magnetic levitation
to guide and lift the pods of the rail Since the pod is
not in contact with the ground there is no friction act-
ing on itThe first Hyperloop ndash virgin Hyperloop one
is set to run with passengers as early as 2021 and is
created by SpaceX and Tesla
The mastermind behind the Hyperloop is Elon Musk
who first published a 58 page white-paper on the web-
site of his company-Space X It was available to all
and was titled Hyperloop alpha The Hyperloop may
be the pioneer of a whole new era of transportation
traveling a distance which would otherwise take 12
hours in just I hour it has crossed all known bounda-
ries and created higher limits for us to reach and reach
we must for when time is money and money is time
an option that saves both needs to be used
Exams are good or bad -Nupoor Teli VIII
In my humble opinion exams are pressure on the stu-
dents They are forced to study and score good marks
which can lead to frustration An environment of com-
petitiveness of standing first is created for which stu-
dents keep on studying day and night without any rec-
reation It is good to study but not just for the sake of
gaining marks
Why do we study What is the main intention behind
education Seeking interesting and fascinating
knowledge as well as facts about the world But now-a
-days the main reason for studying is gaining marks
If there are no marks no career and no success This
is the mindset of 70 people of the world especially
parents They pressurize their children so much that
they get depressed or sometimes attempt suicide as
wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-
ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities
chapter test after every topic notebookfile submis-
sion etc And as cherry on top of the cake we have the
semester exams of eighty marks as well What all will
the students do And even if any extra-curricular ac-
tivities are being learnt then more extra studies Just
study study and study
Why so much of tension on the children Under this
tension only they start cheating As time passes cheat-
ing becomes a habit of their lifeI fell that exams
should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate
whether the students are clear with the concepts or
not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but
should be made understand their mistakes Let them
choose their own career options on their own Help
them know what they like to study and what they want
to do in their life So dont pressurize students for
what they dont like and encourage them in what they
do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the
country

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B
Life is all about interactions You meet people and
you interact You observe them consciously or sub-
consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us
more than we even realise Some people leave a last-
ing impression on us and entirely change the course of
life for better or for worse Some people influence us
help us go further and make all the difference
I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-
tial people They have taken care of me ever since I
came into this world They are the ones who wish the
best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-
cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel
no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-
come a part of my personality They are the ones who
helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me
to be better
When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are
the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-
takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique
learning experience It has made me realise how eve-
rything they do has a reason They are the ones who
have taught me the importance of the little things in
life They are the ones who have helped me recognize
and follow my passion The very thought of them not
being a part of my life is scary to the least as without
them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am
today and whatever I have achieved is all because of
them and I am very grateful of that
Eyesight
-Aditi Shenoy VIII-F
The tired little girl went to bed
Recollecting the days bygone
Seeing them in her dreams
As the day she was born
Trying to see the world
With her little eyes
But the sun with his brightness
Wouldnt let her catch the sights
The girl still eager
And curious to see the world around her
Again opened her eyes
But her vision was blurred
Still she did not lose hope
Which flowed through her blood
Encouraging and pushing her
To see the world further
Her heart beating fast
Her enthusiasm increasing
She slowly tried to see
With her eyes continuously blinking
Starting to lose hope
She was ready to give up
But curiosity got the upper hand
And pushed her forward
With her hope again rising
and strength in her eyesight
She is finally seeing the world
With wide open eyes

Conquering the space
-Marisha Nath VIII-C
ldquoThere is no failure in Science it is only continual
effort to conquer the unknown On the way even if we
face failure it rather adds more value to our effort for
our next journey to know the unknownrdquo
Chandrayan-2 Indiarsquos Moon Mission The dream of
entire India to land on moon and become the 4th Na-
tion in the world to put its flag on the soil of moon
after USSR USA amp China
ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launched
Chandrayan-2 on 22nd July 2019 from Bengaluru
(Satish Dhawan Space Center) under the command of
ISRO chief K Shivan It consists of ORBITER
LANDER amp Lunar Rover PRAGYAN Like Chandra-
yan-1(22nd Oct2008) it was Indiarsquos indigenous moon
mission
It touched the Moon Surface on Saturday early morn-
ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-
ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-
ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of
moon it lost contact with the ground station Because
of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be
monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m
(approx) away from its assigned location near
SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still
orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange
signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it
The ORBITER which will remain active for another
12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-
owed portion of the moon for the first time in history
with the help of its high-resolution camera
The entire Nation irrespective of their field of
knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front
of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of
VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true
Indians who always dream progress and development
of their motherland But our heart never accepts this
as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement
for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-
pose of our mission
But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at
this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring
country quoting this as a big failure on part of India
blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos
money on this
Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will
be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to
this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other
nations on such missions
Further I should say that India is not new in the field
of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-
TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975
It was named after famous scientist of ancient India
ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested
for the first time the HELIOCENTRIC THEORY
(Sun at the center and all planets revolve around the
Sun) of the Solar System much earlier than ready for
New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 57
COPERNICUS as believed in the western world
Other countries might have moon on their flags but
we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is
great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are
whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-
rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is
only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the
unknown and its continual application for the benefit
of the mankind)rdquo
Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by
various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-
PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-
cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958
onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as
46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was
attempted out of which only 21 was successful
Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-
tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the
overall attempts conducted by other Nations
USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-
NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was
planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January
SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR
successfully on moon
NASA after many attempts was successful to send
first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th
July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk
on moon
Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-
clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-
SION MANGAL for our next moon mission

Chocoland - Talreja Aastha IV-J
Once I had been to the Chocolate Land
Chocolate all around to the reach of my hand
Toffees candies lollies and bars
In my mouth a crunchy munchy war
White dark nutty and sweet
Just like a dreamy treat
Colourful wrapper shiny and bright
Which one to choose which would be right
Houses made of chocolates and doors made of bars
And out stood there a chocolate car
Soon after it was 6 oclock
And could hear the doorrsquos knock
I woke up in a hurry
Just to realise that it was a dream

The ant and the elephant
- SOUMEN RAO IV-E
Once upon a time in a forest there lived an ant and an
elephant The elephant was the biggest among all the
elephants So he was very proud of himself and used
to criticize everyone and the ant which was the tiniest
among them was very happy and cheerful It used to
help everyone I its own way
All the animals in the forest used to complain about
the egoistic elephant So one day when the ant saw the
elephant walking towards it it immediately thought of
a plan As soon as the elephant came near the ant
said ldquoHello My friendrdquo but the elephant replied rude-
ly saying ldquoYou tiny
ant Get off my way
otherwise yoursquoll get
crushed to deathrdquo
Hearing this ant
challenged the elephant sayingrdquo My big friend I can
make you cryrdquo The ant quickly climbed onto the trunk
of the elephant and ran towards its earit went inside
the ear and started biting the elephants ear The ele-
phant tried to flap its ears but in vain After a few
minutes tears started rolling down its eyes It cried
ldquoPlease come out of my ear I canrsquot bear the painrdquo As
soon as the ant came out the elephant apologized for
its mistake and didnrsquot tease any animals from that day
Grandparents
-Aditya Patil VIII-E
The best place in vacation
A heaven like destination
Their love for us is endless
All their sacrifices are worthless
Great is their surrounding divinity
In front of our ordinary identity
To your grandparents never be rude
Because they are your
coolest dude
They yell at our parents
when we are shouted
With generosity and be-
nevolence they are bounded
Be sure to always meet your grandparents once in a
while and enhance yourself by their presence

Women Empowerment
- Devangi Dongre VII-B
The abilities of women in making decisions education and profession have
been largely suppressed since ages considering them inferior to men The situa-
tion is worst in underdeveloped and developing nations where women in a fami-
ly are not allowed to take financial decisions or decide on matters regarding their own education
With such state of affairs it would be a fallacy to dream about the goals of sustainable development and gen-
der equality There is an instant need to take measures to lift the social personal and professional status of
women bringing them shoulder to shoulder with men These particular measures constitute a process which
is known as ldquoWomen Empowermentrdquo Providing better education and employment opportunities to women
ensuring their better health providing justice and ensuring professional equivalence are the few methods of
women empowerment
Water Conservation
- Paarth Bhagat VII-J
Water is life If there was no water there would be no
life Hence water is the precious gift of God to mother
Earth We cannot imagine our lives without water
We human beings are made up of water it is the only
transportation medium that carries the food molecules
and oxygen to the cells of every body parts to help the
blood It signifies that water is the most essential in-
gredient to the functioning of life of every organism
So you see living this wonderful life is impossible
without water
Water is the force behind all the industry agriculture
manufacturing and trade and commerce All forms of
energy generation is done using water Be it hydroe-
lectrically projects or thermal power plant or nuclear
power plant water is
the key ingredient in
all of them There
would be no power
without water No
water no life
So it is our responsibility to conserve this life nectar
It is possible only through by changing our outlook
towards this wonderful natural resource We must en-
sure there is no pollution of water bodies by dumping
any waste such as sewage effluents and other toxic
substances We must also ensure there is no emission
of green-house gases into the atmosphere The people
and the government must ensure installation of efflu-
ents and smoke treatment plants at industrial garbage
and sewage units

The kind Fairies -Aditys Patil VIII-E
This story starts with two beautiful babies in a king-
dom called fairyland The babies were very pretty
Their names were Ovi and Riddhi They were growing
pretty well As they grew they became more and
more pretty Over and over they were also fairies and
within 5 years they became young girls Their mother
told them to go to school The girls askedwhere are
the schools There are no schools here Mother said
dont worry you will go to the planet Earth On the
planet Earth there is a very good school named New
Horizon Public School and the short form is nhps We
said ok On the first day of our school we were very
afraid but after a few days we
became more smart than the
others We were getting a lot of
prizes which we shared with
eveyone in the school This
made us and others happy One day We became the
princess of fairyland Our wings were like a rainbow
We were twins and had very long hairs Now I end
my story with a beautiful quote
ALWAYS HELP EACH OTHER LIKE THE
FARIES BECAUSE HELPING PEOPLE IS THE
PATH TO GOD
The Day Irsquoll Never Forget - Saranya Sarangi VII -
It was a day of love and affection
There was no visible sign of caution
But something unfortunate was going to happen
Nobody knew where and when
There was a blast at half past three
In a beauty land called Paradise On Earth
A complete silence and pity hadnrsquot the thee
Perished laid the martyrs
Whom our motherland gave birth
I still remember that scaring sight
The scattered limbs I couldnrsquot see
My heart got filled with grief and fright
No Indian could glee
Terribly writhing the soldiers were seen
Some families languished and some
were crying
So loyal to their country they had been
None of their families were mollifying
Whatever homage to our martyrs we pay
Tiny before their they lay
Salute to their tribute to motherland
To protect us they always walked hand in hand
Little Birdie - Marisha Nath VIII-C
I am a little birdie in the sky
With two wings to fly
I never disturb you
I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom
O human Then why do you steal my FREEDOM
Binding me alone in the cage makes me sad
Donrsquot you know caging a bird is bad
Looking at the sky
I wish I could fly
I never disturb you
I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom
O human Then why do you steal my
FREEDOM

Summers in India - Saranya Sarangi VIII
A hot season beginning from April till May is what we
call summer And thatrsquos the basic rule in India But
thatrsquos not something through which we can define
summers in our country India The sun shining high
above the head increasing the heat and this scorching
heat is something very unique about summers in India
Those ice-lolly stalls roaming down the streets tin-
kling their tiny bells is something special one will nev-
er find in any other country Many people love this
season
Especially the children as they get to eat ice-creams
Many people even donrsquot As they feel that this season
can only make a person dehydrated exhausted and irri-
tated Summer as we think as an unfruitful season is
contrast in reality Schools conduct summer camps
during vacation where stu-
dents can join different aca-
demic and co-curricular
courses to improve them-
selves Many children even spend time with their fami-
lies
Often families plan trips to different places as they get
a very long vacation during this season But now-a-
days due to increasing heat these pleasant summers
are becoming unbearable Every just sweat and sweat
We get a lethargic feeling not ready to do any work
Due to this heat we continually keep the ACs on which
consume a lot of electricity creating trouble for our
mother Earth and us Gradually that charm of the
unique kind of summers will be lost if precautions are
not taken We must really hope and work hard to bring
back our lovely lsquoSummers in Indiarsquo
Exams are good or bad
- Nupoor Teli VIIIndashI
In my humble opinionexams are apressure on the stu-
dents They are forced to study and score good
markswhich can lead to frustration An environmentof
competitivenessof standing first is created for which
students keep on studying day and night without any
recreation It is good to studybut not just for the sake
of gaining marks
Why do we study What is the main intention behind
education Seeking intersresting and fascinating
knowledge as well as facts about the world But now-a
-daysthe main reason for studying is gaining marks If
there are no marksno career andno success This is the
mindset of 70 people of the worldespecially parents
They pressurize their children so much that they get
depressed or sometimes attempt suicide as well
Every two months an exam is conducted Moreo-
verthere are projectssubject-enrichment activi-
tieschapter test sfter every topicnotebookfile submis
sion etcAnd as acherry on top
of the cakewe have the semes-
ter exams of eighty marks as
well What all will the students
do And even if any extra-
curricular activities are being learntthen more extra
studies Just studystudy and study
Why so much of tension on the children Under this
tension only they start cheating As time passes cheat-
ing becomes a habit of their life
I fell that exams should be conducted once a term in
order to evaluate whether the students are clear with
the concepts or notThey shouldnt be pressurized for
their marksbut should be made understand their mis-
takes Let them choose their own career options on
their own Help them knowwhat they like to study and
what they want to do in their life So dont pressurize
students for what they dont likeand encourage them in
what they do After allthey are only the Rising stars of
the country

Life is magical - Piyush Sahoo VII-H
A new day or a new night
Everything in life seems bright
A new morning or a new evening
Life is full of happening
A life is just like a kite
It may disappear in a sight
Life moves from baby to old
Make your life challenging and bold
Enjoy life the fullest
Never accept less than best
Unlikely life comes to an end
But remember never to bend
Happy sadness victory and loss
Accept it the way it comes
Life can be at times tragical
But make it the most beautiful
Life is magicalhellip
Life is so magicalhellip
Humility -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
Humility is having a heart to treat others with respect
and love Considering people worthy of your love
time and efforts regardless of who they are or what
they have done A person is truly humble when they
are willing to work hard for others expecting nothing
in return
Humility has the power to change a personrsquos perspec-
tive towards life It can make a difference in the way a
person is looked upon by others Doing an act of hum-
bleness can make a personrsquos day Humility is about
not having an ego or considering things below your
dignity or considering yourself greater than others
People often confuse humility with self-respect They
canrsquot make out the difference between being useful to
others and being used by others
It takes courage to be humble
because in the era in which we
live humility is looked upon as
weakness People assume yoursquore not strong enough to
stand up for yourself They think you surrender in-
stead of protesting They will despise and scorn you
but they donrsquot know that you take pleasure in what
you do because they havenrsquot experienced that kind of
joy
So if you do have humility donrsquot draw back from it
because of what others think Whatever you are doing
is for the good of others and you have no need to be
ashamed of that Humbleness will spread from person
to person Who knows maybe your one act of humili-
ty will spread on to help a person in need So be brave
be humble
Mom -Tanvi Sawant VII-C
Oh mom I came to this beautiful world just because
of youhellip
Mom what would I do without you
Oh mom there are thorns on the way

Oh mom I canrsquot say how much yoursquore to me

always be with mehellip
Oh mom this world is incomplete
without you
Just like the sky without itrsquos bright color bluehellip
Oh mom yoursquore the candle that showed the way in the
dark

OUR FUTURE EARTH - Hiya Purswani VIII-B
We all know the present condition of our environment
around us Inspite of advanced and modern technolo-
gy we humans are still not able to find a solution
Early humans neither they had much technology nor
they had enough intelligence but still in the early ages
the environment was clean making it the reason for
the increasing life span of humans Its a shocking
news to know that the amount of plastic bottles pro-
duced now may lead to increase in plastic pollution
and cause several death Its a great opportunity to be
as a human in this beautiful earth and so its our re-
sponsibility to make it clean In monsoon people cut
down trees to prevent accidents to occur but do we
plant trees in summer to prevent more global warm-
ing We can prevent bad things to happen but not can-
not take that much effort for good things to spread
Have you ever wondered while seeing a tap open how
many taps are left open at the same time in the whole
world It might sound unbelievable there can be a
World War III on water land and fresh air The way
we are thinking about the wastage of water may lead
us to a massive pain Itrsquos truly said by Warren Buffet
sometimes to buy things we need we have to sell
things we do not need This happens in the case of
lacking of intelligence We say every scholar is a true
genius but in my
opinion a person is
genius if he has the
ability to save and
change things in his
own way We all have the ability to save this earth
but our thoughts our ego and our greediness is stop-
ping us to think in a better way Everyone has a good
and a bad side in his life What matters is the part we
choose to act upon This is an excellent thought said
by Sirius Black in the movie Harry Potter Itrsquos time to
bring a change We always have time to do good
things all we need is hope Spreading awareness is the
best idea to bring a change If everyone stops thinking
about their economical needs and start contributing
towards the environment by planting more trees cer-
tainly there will be a beneficial change in this world
Neither do we think about the future nor care about
the present Why not be an optimist and think in a
positive way of life Our studies our needs our
knowledge will not help us in any way if we donʼt
change Its not that easy to plant a tree and care for it a
whole year if we only plant it with all our love nature
is certainly going to care for it Lastly I would like to
end with a quoterdquo Come forth in the light of things
nature will be your teacher
The Small Hours Pranjal Anil Chavan V-C
No more my little song Come back
And now of nights I lay my head on down
to watch the black
And wait the unfailing gray

Floods and Destruction
- Nirvi Soni IV-H
India faces occurrence of floods each year in some
parts of Assam during the rainy season Water of river
Brahmaputra rises and enters into many villages
causing great destruction Floods are unavoidable but
we need to take precautions in the following ways by
reducing mining activities building dams growing
more trees etc During floods the weather becomes
wet and gloomy Trees and plants get uprooted This
way floods cause great de-
struction to both life and
property It also becomes dif-
ficult to travel from place to
place Many people are left
homeless The rain water should be harvested and
stored in large storage tanks The harvested rainwater
can be used for washing clothes and cleaning By us-
ing rain water in our daily life we can preserve water
resources

Wersquoll surely find the crown
Up on the chilled mountain
We saw a beautiful fountain
Surrounded by a beautiful castle
Decorated with the colourful tassel
Just be quiet and keen
Soon you will be the queen
Think before you speak
-Shravya Atreya IX-D
Think before you speak
There are hearts you must please
Think before you speak
You canrsquot undo the harm done after you squeak
Think before you speak
You might have done greater harm than you might
think
Think before you speak
There are still places left for you
to seek
Think before you speak
There is a long way to go before
you sleep
Think before you speak
There are hearts you must
please

GLOBAL WARMING - Adhyant Singh VII-F
Global warming refers to the steady rise in the Earthrsquos mean temperature The effect of global
warming had come into sight when polar ice caps started melting this phenomena is called ICE ndash
ALBEDO the ice caps melt faster due to the rise in the temperature This sudden rise in the temperature near
the poles began in 1999 The polar ice caps in Antarctica melt at the rate of 400000000000 tons per year ac-
cording to some scientists it would approximately take 5000 years to melt the total ice on earth In 2013 Inter-
governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) stated that the main cause of Global warming is human inter-
vention like emission of Green house gases like Carbon-Di-Oxide nitrous oxide and methane
These gases trap the heat which is reflected by the Earthrsquos surface thus increasing the temperature and also
destroying the ozone layer which prevents the ultraviolet rays of the sun from reaching the earthrsquos surface Al-
so burning fossil fuel contributes to the problem Effects of global warming have also led to the increase in the
sea level and extreme weather like heat waves and change in the regional pattern of precipitation and the ex-
pansion of desserts A concentrated and focused effort by the entire humanity can curb down the impact of
Global warming and also prevent it Planting more trees to control the amount of carbon-di-oxide eliminating
the use of chlorofluorocarbon or (CFCrsquoS) are a few steps All the countries have signed up with the United Na-
tions Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to prevent the doomsday of Earth So to prevent
earthrsquos doomsday we all must work together
Itrsquos not too late there is still timehellipBefore the earth ends and we whinehellipSo keep on marching and planting
greens To end Global Warming and Make our planet greenhellip

I need some water
And your loving care

The Night - Matangi Rajesh VII-D
Its the night
The moon is white
When we switch off the light
What a beautiful sight
After this comes the sun bright
There is no more artificial light
This is the time to start your diet
To go for a run wearing tights
Then comes the evening when
you have snacks light
And fly a big colorful kite
or include your sibling in a pillow fight
Again comes the night
A moon which is white
We switch off the light
A beautiful sight

Hyperloop -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
Human inventions have baffled the world They are
innumerable ranging from revolutionizing
smartphones to not-so-breathtaking ice cream cones
but they play a role in our life just the same The
things which are commonplace to us now were unbe-
knownst to people once upon a time For the people of
the 19th century the car was a thing of the future until
in 1885 Karl Benz ran his first car on the road Then
for centuries people took the prospect of of flying like
the birds as only a wild possibility which was made
possible in 1903 when the Wright Brothers flew the
first plane
What is the thing of the future for us Well we are the
future modifying and bettering the things that have
been made and crating stuff that we didnt even dare
to imagine about The Hyperloop fulfills both aspects
of the definition a very advanced model of our faith-
ful train and yet a brand new idea to scale greater
heights The Hyperloop is an ideal mode of efficient
transport Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane
with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing
speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt have to
ace the two types of friction that every other vehicle
has to face Air resistance and ground friction The
pods of the Hyperloop are propelled through a depres-
surized tub Since it is almost vacuum very little air
resistance can be offered inside the tube Due to this
the energy required to travel is also very less The Hy-
perloops unique technology uses magnetic levitation
to guide and lift the pods of the rail Since the pod is
not in contact with the ground there is no friction act-
ing on itThe first Hyperloop ndash virgin Hyperloop one
is set to run with passengers as early as 2021 and is
created by SpaceX and Tesla
The mastermind behind the Hyperloop is Elon Musk
who first published a 58 page white-paper on the web-
site of his company-Space X It was available to all
and was titled Hyperloop alpha The Hyperloop may
be the pioneer of a whole new era of transportation
traveling a distance which would otherwise take 12
hours in just I hour it has crossed all known bounda-
ries and created higher limits for us to reach and reach
we must for when time is money and money is time
an option that saves both needs to be used
Exams are good or bad -Nupoor Teli VIII
In my humble opinion exams are pressure on the stu-
dents They are forced to study and score good marks
which can lead to frustration An environment of com-
petitiveness of standing first is created for which stu-
dents keep on studying day and night without any rec-
reation It is good to study but not just for the sake of
gaining marks
Why do we study What is the main intention behind
education Seeking interesting and fascinating
knowledge as well as facts about the world But now-a
-days the main reason for studying is gaining marks
If there are no marks no career and no success This
is the mindset of 70 people of the world especially
parents They pressurize their children so much that
they get depressed or sometimes attempt suicide as
wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-
ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities
chapter test after every topic notebookfile submis-
sion etc And as cherry on top of the cake we have the
semester exams of eighty marks as well What all will
the students do And even if any extra-curricular ac-
tivities are being learnt then more extra studies Just
study study and study
Why so much of tension on the children Under this
tension only they start cheating As time passes cheat-
ing becomes a habit of their lifeI fell that exams
should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate
whether the students are clear with the concepts or
not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but
should be made understand their mistakes Let them
choose their own career options on their own Help
them know what they like to study and what they want
to do in their life So dont pressurize students for
what they dont like and encourage them in what they
do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the
country

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B
Life is all about interactions You meet people and
you interact You observe them consciously or sub-
consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us
more than we even realise Some people leave a last-
ing impression on us and entirely change the course of
life for better or for worse Some people influence us
help us go further and make all the difference
I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-
tial people They have taken care of me ever since I
came into this world They are the ones who wish the
best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-
cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel
no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-
come a part of my personality They are the ones who
helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me
to be better
When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are
the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-
takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique
learning experience It has made me realise how eve-
rything they do has a reason They are the ones who
have taught me the importance of the little things in
life They are the ones who have helped me recognize
and follow my passion The very thought of them not
being a part of my life is scary to the least as without
them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am
today and whatever I have achieved is all because of
them and I am very grateful of that
Eyesight
-Aditi Shenoy VIII-F
The tired little girl went to bed
Recollecting the days bygone
Seeing them in her dreams
As the day she was born
Trying to see the world
With her little eyes
But the sun with his brightness
Wouldnt let her catch the sights
The girl still eager
And curious to see the world around her
Again opened her eyes
But her vision was blurred
Still she did not lose hope
Which flowed through her blood
Encouraging and pushing her
To see the world further
Her heart beating fast
Her enthusiasm increasing
She slowly tried to see
With her eyes continuously blinking
Starting to lose hope
She was ready to give up
But curiosity got the upper hand
And pushed her forward
With her hope again rising
and strength in her eyesight
She is finally seeing the world
With wide open eyes

Conquering the space
-Marisha Nath VIII-C
ldquoThere is no failure in Science it is only continual
effort to conquer the unknown On the way even if we
face failure it rather adds more value to our effort for
our next journey to know the unknownrdquo
Chandrayan-2 Indiarsquos Moon Mission The dream of
entire India to land on moon and become the 4th Na-
tion in the world to put its flag on the soil of moon
after USSR USA amp China
ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launched
Chandrayan-2 on 22nd July 2019 from Bengaluru
(Satish Dhawan Space Center) under the command of
ISRO chief K Shivan It consists of ORBITER
LANDER amp Lunar Rover PRAGYAN Like Chandra-
yan-1(22nd Oct2008) it was Indiarsquos indigenous moon
mission
It touched the Moon Surface on Saturday early morn-
ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-
ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-
ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of
moon it lost contact with the ground station Because
of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be
monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m
(approx) away from its assigned location near
SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still
orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange
signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it
The ORBITER which will remain active for another
12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-
owed portion of the moon for the first time in history
with the help of its high-resolution camera
The entire Nation irrespective of their field of
knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front
of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of
VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true
Indians who always dream progress and development
of their motherland But our heart never accepts this
as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement
for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-
pose of our mission
But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at
this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring
country quoting this as a big failure on part of India
blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos
money on this
Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will
be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to
this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other
nations on such missions
Further I should say that India is not new in the field
of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-
TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975
It was named after famous scientist of ancient India
ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested
for the first time the HELIOCENTRIC THEORY
(Sun at the center and all planets revolve around the
Sun) of the Solar System much earlier than ready for
New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 57
COPERNICUS as believed in the western world
Other countries might have moon on their flags but
we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is
great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are
whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-
rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is
only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the
unknown and its continual application for the benefit
of the mankind)rdquo
Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by
various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-
PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-
cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958
onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as
46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was
attempted out of which only 21 was successful
Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-
tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the
overall attempts conducted by other Nations
USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-
NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was
planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January
SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR
successfully on moon
NASA after many attempts was successful to send
first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th
July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk
on moon
Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-
clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-
SION MANGAL for our next moon mission

The ant and the elephant
- SOUMEN RAO IV-E
Once upon a time in a forest there lived an ant and an
elephant The elephant was the biggest among all the
elephants So he was very proud of himself and used
to criticize everyone and the ant which was the tiniest
among them was very happy and cheerful It used to
help everyone I its own way
All the animals in the forest used to complain about
the egoistic elephant So one day when the ant saw the
elephant walking towards it it immediately thought of
a plan As soon as the elephant came near the ant
said ldquoHello My friendrdquo but the elephant replied rude-
ly saying ldquoYou tiny
ant Get off my way
otherwise yoursquoll get
crushed to deathrdquo
Hearing this ant
challenged the elephant sayingrdquo My big friend I can
make you cryrdquo The ant quickly climbed onto the trunk
of the elephant and ran towards its earit went inside
the ear and started biting the elephants ear The ele-
phant tried to flap its ears but in vain After a few
minutes tears started rolling down its eyes It cried
ldquoPlease come out of my ear I canrsquot bear the painrdquo As
soon as the ant came out the elephant apologized for
its mistake and didnrsquot tease any animals from that day
Grandparents
-Aditya Patil VIII-E
The best place in vacation
A heaven like destination
Their love for us is endless
All their sacrifices are worthless
Great is their surrounding divinity
In front of our ordinary identity
To your grandparents never be rude
Because they are your
coolest dude
They yell at our parents
when we are shouted
With generosity and be-
nevolence they are bounded
Be sure to always meet your grandparents once in a
while and enhance yourself by their presence

Women Empowerment
- Devangi Dongre VII-B
The abilities of women in making decisions education and profession have
been largely suppressed since ages considering them inferior to men The situa-
tion is worst in underdeveloped and developing nations where women in a fami-
ly are not allowed to take financial decisions or decide on matters regarding their own education
With such state of affairs it would be a fallacy to dream about the goals of sustainable development and gen-
der equality There is an instant need to take measures to lift the social personal and professional status of
women bringing them shoulder to shoulder with men These particular measures constitute a process which
is known as ldquoWomen Empowermentrdquo Providing better education and employment opportunities to women
ensuring their better health providing justice and ensuring professional equivalence are the few methods of
women empowerment
Water Conservation
- Paarth Bhagat VII-J
Water is life If there was no water there would be no
life Hence water is the precious gift of God to mother
Earth We cannot imagine our lives without water
We human beings are made up of water it is the only
transportation medium that carries the food molecules
and oxygen to the cells of every body parts to help the
blood It signifies that water is the most essential in-
gredient to the functioning of life of every organism
So you see living this wonderful life is impossible
without water
Water is the force behind all the industry agriculture
manufacturing and trade and commerce All forms of
energy generation is done using water Be it hydroe-
lectrically projects or thermal power plant or nuclear
power plant water is
the key ingredient in
all of them There
would be no power
without water No
water no life
So it is our responsibility to conserve this life nectar
It is possible only through by changing our outlook
towards this wonderful natural resource We must en-
sure there is no pollution of water bodies by dumping
any waste such as sewage effluents and other toxic
substances We must also ensure there is no emission
of green-house gases into the atmosphere The people
and the government must ensure installation of efflu-
ents and smoke treatment plants at industrial garbage
and sewage units

The kind Fairies -Aditys Patil VIII-E
This story starts with two beautiful babies in a king-
dom called fairyland The babies were very pretty
Their names were Ovi and Riddhi They were growing
pretty well As they grew they became more and
more pretty Over and over they were also fairies and
within 5 years they became young girls Their mother
told them to go to school The girls askedwhere are
the schools There are no schools here Mother said
dont worry you will go to the planet Earth On the
planet Earth there is a very good school named New
Horizon Public School and the short form is nhps We
said ok On the first day of our school we were very
afraid but after a few days we
became more smart than the
others We were getting a lot of
prizes which we shared with
eveyone in the school This
made us and others happy One day We became the
princess of fairyland Our wings were like a rainbow
We were twins and had very long hairs Now I end
my story with a beautiful quote
ALWAYS HELP EACH OTHER LIKE THE
FARIES BECAUSE HELPING PEOPLE IS THE
PATH TO GOD
The Day Irsquoll Never Forget - Saranya Sarangi VII -
It was a day of love and affection
There was no visible sign of caution
But something unfortunate was going to happen
Nobody knew where and when
There was a blast at half past three
In a beauty land called Paradise On Earth
A complete silence and pity hadnrsquot the thee
Perished laid the martyrs
Whom our motherland gave birth
I still remember that scaring sight
The scattered limbs I couldnrsquot see
My heart got filled with grief and fright
No Indian could glee
Terribly writhing the soldiers were seen
Some families languished and some
were crying
So loyal to their country they had been
None of their families were mollifying
Whatever homage to our martyrs we pay
Tiny before their they lay
Salute to their tribute to motherland
To protect us they always walked hand in hand
Little Birdie - Marisha Nath VIII-C
I am a little birdie in the sky
With two wings to fly
I never disturb you
I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom
O human Then why do you steal my FREEDOM
Binding me alone in the cage makes me sad
Donrsquot you know caging a bird is bad
Looking at the sky
I wish I could fly
I never disturb you
I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom
O human Then why do you steal my
FREEDOM

Summers in India - Saranya Sarangi VIII
A hot season beginning from April till May is what we
call summer And thatrsquos the basic rule in India But
thatrsquos not something through which we can define
summers in our country India The sun shining high
above the head increasing the heat and this scorching
heat is something very unique about summers in India
Those ice-lolly stalls roaming down the streets tin-
kling their tiny bells is something special one will nev-
er find in any other country Many people love this
season
Especially the children as they get to eat ice-creams
Many people even donrsquot As they feel that this season
can only make a person dehydrated exhausted and irri-
tated Summer as we think as an unfruitful season is
contrast in reality Schools conduct summer camps
during vacation where stu-
dents can join different aca-
demic and co-curricular
courses to improve them-
selves Many children even spend time with their fami-
lies
Often families plan trips to different places as they get
a very long vacation during this season But now-a-
days due to increasing heat these pleasant summers
are becoming unbearable Every just sweat and sweat
We get a lethargic feeling not ready to do any work
Due to this heat we continually keep the ACs on which
consume a lot of electricity creating trouble for our
mother Earth and us Gradually that charm of the
unique kind of summers will be lost if precautions are
not taken We must really hope and work hard to bring
back our lovely lsquoSummers in Indiarsquo

Life is magical - Piyush Sahoo VII-H
A new day or a new night
Everything in life seems bright
A new morning or a new evening
Life is full of happening
A life is just like a kite
It may disappear in a sight
Life moves from baby to old
Make your life challenging and bold
Enjoy life the fullest
Never accept less than best
Unlikely life comes to an end
But remember never to bend
Happy sadness victory and loss
Accept it the way it comes
Life can be at times tragical
But make it the most beautiful
Life is magicalhellip
Life is so magicalhellip
Humility -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
Humility is having a heart to treat others with respect
and love Considering people worthy of your love
time and efforts regardless of who they are or what
they have done A person is truly humble when they
are willing to work hard for others expecting nothing
in return
Humility has the power to change a personrsquos perspec-
tive towards life It can make a difference in the way a
person is looked upon by others Doing an act of hum-
bleness can make a personrsquos day Humility is about
not having an ego or considering things below your
dignity or considering yourself greater than others
People often confuse humility with self-respect They
canrsquot make out the difference between being useful to
others and being used by others
It takes courage to be humble
because in the era in which we
live humility is looked upon as
weakness People assume yoursquore not strong enough to
stand up for yourself They think you surrender in-
stead of protesting They will despise and scorn you
but they donrsquot know that you take pleasure in what
you do because they havenrsquot experienced that kind of
joy
So if you do have humility donrsquot draw back from it
because of what others think Whatever you are doing
is for the good of others and you have no need to be
ashamed of that Humbleness will spread from person
to person Who knows maybe your one act of humili-
ty will spread on to help a person in need So be brave
be humble
Mom -Tanvi Sawant VII-C
Oh mom I came to this beautiful world just because
of youhellip
Mom what would I do without you
Oh mom there are thorns on the way
But you manage to get me awayhellip
Oh mom I canrsquot say how much yoursquore to me
Mom just promise me that yoursquoll and
always be with mehellip
Oh mom this world is incomplete
without you
Just like the sky without itrsquos bright color bluehellip
Oh mom yoursquore the candle that showed the way in the
dark
My dear mom you made my life spark

I am the EARTH - Deepashikha P VII F
Hello I am the Earth
For me I am the sweetest heart
I provide you with lots of stuff
With food and the mangoes that you love
I give you water soil and Sun
I am special as I am just one
But the humans living on me
Are making me dirty
They are cutting all the trees
And killing all the species helliphellip
They filling me with smoke and death
They are killing themselves
with lack of breath
I am the Earth
I am your mother
Make me the best by pol-
luting me less and less
And preventing my green dress
You can save water
you plant a tree
Make a better home for you on me
Recycle things donrsquot throw them awayhellip

OUR FUTURE EARTH - Hiya Purswani VIII-B
We all know the present condition of our environment
around us Inspite of advanced and modern technolo-
gy we humans are still not able to find a solution
Early humans neither they had much technology nor
they had enough intelligence but still in the early ages
the environment was clean making it the reason for
the increasing life span of humans Its a shocking
news to know that the amount of plastic bottles pro-
duced now may lead to increase in plastic pollution
and cause several death Its a great opportunity to be
as a human in this beautiful earth and so its our re-
sponsibility to make it clean In monsoon people cut
down trees to prevent accidents to occur but do we
plant trees in summer to prevent more global warm-
ing We can prevent bad things to happen but not can-
not take that much effort for good things to spread
Have you ever wondered while seeing a tap open how
many taps are left open at the same time in the whole
world It might sound unbelievable there can be a
World War III on water land and fresh air The way
we are thinking about the wastage of water may lead
us to a massive pain Itrsquos truly said by Warren Buffet
sometimes to buy things we need we have to sell
things we do not need This happens in the case of
lacking of intelligence We say every scholar is a true
genius but in my
opinion a person is
genius if he has the
ability to save and
change things in his
own way We all have the ability to save this earth
but our thoughts our ego and our greediness is stop-
ping us to think in a better way Everyone has a good
and a bad side in his life What matters is the part we
choose to act upon This is an excellent thought said
by Sirius Black in the movie Harry Potter Itrsquos time to
bring a change We always have time to do good
things all we need is hope Spreading awareness is the
best idea to bring a change If everyone stops thinking
about their economical needs and start contributing
towards the environment by planting more trees cer-
tainly there will be a beneficial change in this world
Neither do we think about the future nor care about
the present Why not be an optimist and think in a
positive way of life Our studies our needs our
knowledge will not help us in any way if we donʼt
change Its not that easy to plant a tree and care for it a
whole year if we only plant it with all our love nature
is certainly going to care for it Lastly I would like to
end with a quoterdquo Come forth in the light of things
nature will be your teacher
The Small Hours Pranjal Anil Chavan V-C
No more my little song Come back
And now of nights I lay my head on down
to watch the black
And wait the unfailing gray
Oh Sad are winter nights and slow
And sad is a song thatrsquos dumb
And sad it is to lie I know
Another dawn will come

Floods and Destruction
- Nirvi Soni IV-H
India faces occurrence of floods each year in some
parts of Assam during the rainy season Water of river
Brahmaputra rises and enters into many villages
causing great destruction Floods are unavoidable but
we need to take precautions in the following ways by
reducing mining activities building dams growing
more trees etc During floods the weather becomes
wet and gloomy Trees and plants get uprooted This
way floods cause great de-
struction to both life and
property It also becomes dif-
ficult to travel from place to
place Many people are left
homeless The rain water should be harvested and
stored in large storage tanks The harvested rainwater
can be used for washing clothes and cleaning By us-
ing rain water in our daily life we can preserve water
resources
Good Morning Everyone -Vyomi ThakkarVI - H
Come with me wersquoll have some fun
Wersquoll go on a walk
Donrsquot worry will have a great talk
Roaming around the ground
With beautiful birdrsquos sound
We donrsquot know if anything will be found
Wersquoll surely find the crown
Up on the chilled mountain
We saw a beautiful fountain
Surrounded by a beautiful castle
Decorated with the colourful tassel
Just be quiet and keen
Soon you will be the queen
Think before you speak
-Shravya Atreya IX-D
Think before you speak
There are hearts you must please
Think before you speak
You canrsquot undo the harm done after you squeak
Think before you speak
You might have done greater harm than you might
think
Think before you speak
There are still places left for you
to seek
Think before you speak
There is a long way to go before
you sleep
Think before you speak
There are hearts you must
please
Sunrise -Anuradha Singh VII-H
Over the glimmering purple sea
Under the golden sun rise
The Island dreams under the dawn
And the message is carried by the wind that blows
across the bitter sea
A sparrow sways upon a tree
staring at his own in the
enamelled sea
Everything is fine
With fading stars and rising light

GLOBAL WARMING - Adhyant Singh VII-F
Global warming refers to the steady rise in the Earthrsquos mean temperature The effect of global
warming had come into sight when polar ice caps started melting this phenomena is called ICE ndash
ALBEDO the ice caps melt faster due to the rise in the temperature This sudden rise in the temperature near
the poles began in 1999 The polar ice caps in Antarctica melt at the rate of 400000000000 tons per year ac-
cording to some scientists it would approximately take 5000 years to melt the total ice on earth In 2013 Inter-
governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) stated that the main cause of Global warming is human inter-
vention like emission of Green house gases like Carbon-Di-Oxide nitrous oxide and methane
These gases trap the heat which is reflected by the Earthrsquos surface thus increasing the temperature and also
destroying the ozone layer which prevents the ultraviolet rays of the sun from reaching the earthrsquos surface Al-
so burning fossil fuel contributes to the problem Effects of global warming have also led to the increase in the
sea level and extreme weather like heat waves and change in the regional pattern of precipitation and the ex-
pansion of desserts A concentrated and focused effort by the entire humanity can curb down the impact of
Global warming and also prevent it Planting more trees to control the amount of carbon-di-oxide eliminating
the use of chlorofluorocarbon or (CFCrsquoS) are a few steps All the countries have signed up with the United Na-
tions Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to prevent the doomsday of Earth So to prevent
earthrsquos doomsday we all must work together
Itrsquos not too late there is still timehellipBefore the earth ends and we whinehellipSo keep on marching and planting
greens To end Global Warming and Make our planet greenhellip
What will happen without Instagram
- Kaavya Chaudhary VII-F
Instagram Instagram Instagram
I was hearing it from everyone
I asked who was the inventor
Nobody knew the answer to my question
Mobiles Mobiles Mobiles
I was able to see them everywhere
I asked who was the inventor
Again nobody was aware
I wondered why was it like so
Why is it they donrsquot know
There was one time we were
engrossed in books
Now we care more about our looks
Instagram wonrsquot give you a job
You will have to study and top
Your fellow followers wonrsquot help either
If you donrsquot have a job no one will bother
I am a tree
- Yashawini Pillai
I am a tree
With a dark green crown
And a thick strong trunk
Above the ground
I give you food
I give you fruits
I give you medicine
I give you wood
I need some sunlight
And some fresh air
I need some water
And your loving care

The Night - Matangi Rajesh VII-D
Its the night
The moon is white
When we switch off the light
What a beautiful sight
After this comes the sun bright
There is no more artificial light
This is the time to start your diet
To go for a run wearing tights
Then comes the evening when
you have snacks light
And fly a big colorful kite
or include your sibling in a pillow fight
Again comes the night
A moon which is white
We switch off the light
A beautiful sight

Hyperloop -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
Human inventions have baffled the world They are
innumerable ranging from revolutionizing
smartphones to not-so-breathtaking ice cream cones
but they play a role in our life just the same The
things which are commonplace to us now were unbe-
knownst to people once upon a time For the people of
the 19th century the car was a thing of the future until
in 1885 Karl Benz ran his first car on the road Then
for centuries people took the prospect of of flying like
the birds as only a wild possibility which was made
possible in 1903 when the Wright Brothers flew the
first plane
What is the thing of the future for us Well we are the
future modifying and bettering the things that have
been made and crating stuff that we didnt even dare
to imagine about The Hyperloop fulfills both aspects
of the definition a very advanced model of our faith-
ful train and yet a brand new idea to scale greater
heights The Hyperloop is an ideal mode of efficient
transport Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane
with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing
speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt have to
ace the two types of friction that every other vehicle
has to face Air resistance and ground friction The
pods of the Hyperloop are propelled through a depres-
surized tub Since it is almost vacuum very little air
resistance can be offered inside the tube Due to this
the energy required to travel is also very less The Hy-
perloops unique technology uses magnetic levitation
to guide and lift the pods of the rail Since the pod is
not in contact with the ground there is no friction act-
ing on itThe first Hyperloop ndash virgin Hyperloop one
is set to run with passengers as early as 2021 and is
created by SpaceX and Tesla
The mastermind behind the Hyperloop is Elon Musk
who first published a 58 page white-paper on the web-
site of his company-Space X It was available to all
and was titled Hyperloop alpha The Hyperloop may
be the pioneer of a whole new era of transportation
traveling a distance which would otherwise take 12
hours in just I hour it has crossed all known bounda-
ries and created higher limits for us to reach and reach
we must for when time is money and money is time
an option that saves both needs to be used
Exams are good or bad -Nupoor Teli VIII
In my humble opinion exams are pressure on the stu-
dents They are forced to study and score good marks
which can lead to frustration An environment of com-
petitiveness of standing first is created for which stu-
dents keep on studying day and night without any rec-
reation It is good to study but not just for the sake of
gaining marks
Why do we study What is the main intention behind
education Seeking interesting and fascinating
knowledge as well as facts about the world But now-a
-days the main reason for studying is gaining marks
If there are no marks no career and no success This
is the mindset of 70 people of the world especially
parents They pressurize their children so much that
they get depressed or sometimes attempt suicide as
wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-
ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities
chapter test after every topic notebookfile submis-
sion etc And as cherry on top of the cake we have the
semester exams of eighty marks as well What all will
the students do And even if any extra-curricular ac-
tivities are being learnt then more extra studies Just
study study and study
Why so much of tension on the children Under this
tension only they start cheating As time passes cheat-
ing becomes a habit of their lifeI fell that exams
should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate
whether the students are clear with the concepts or
not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but
should be made understand their mistakes Let them
choose their own career options on their own Help
them know what they like to study and what they want
to do in their life So dont pressurize students for
what they dont like and encourage them in what they
do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the
country

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B
Life is all about interactions You meet people and
you interact You observe them consciously or sub-
consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us
more than we even realise Some people leave a last-
ing impression on us and entirely change the course of
life for better or for worse Some people influence us
help us go further and make all the difference
I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-
tial people They have taken care of me ever since I
came into this world They are the ones who wish the
best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-
cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel
no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-
come a part of my personality They are the ones who
helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me
to be better
When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are
the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-
takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique
learning experience It has made me realise how eve-
rything they do has a reason They are the ones who
have taught me the importance of the little things in
life They are the ones who have helped me recognize
and follow my passion The very thought of them not
being a part of my life is scary to the least as without
them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am
today and whatever I have achieved is all because of
them and I am very grateful of that
Eyesight
-Aditi Shenoy VIII-F
The tired little girl went to bed
Recollecting the days bygone
Seeing them in her dreams
As the day she was born
Trying to see the world
With her little eyes
But the sun with his brightness
Wouldnt let her catch the sights
The girl still eager
And curious to see the world around her
Again opened her eyes
But her vision was blurred
Still she did not lose hope
Which flowed through her blood
Encouraging and pushing her
To see the world further
Her heart beating fast
Her enthusiasm increasing
She slowly tried to see
With her eyes continuously blinking
Starting to lose hope
She was ready to give up
But curiosity got the upper hand
And pushed her forward
With her hope again rising
and strength in her eyesight
She is finally seeing the world
With wide open eyes

Conquering the space
-Marisha Nath VIII-C
ldquoThere is no failure in Science it is only continual
effort to conquer the unknown On the way even if we
face failure it rather adds more value to our effort for
our next journey to know the unknownrdquo
Chandrayan-2 Indiarsquos Moon Mission The dream of
entire India to land on moon and become the 4th Na-
tion in the world to put its flag on the soil of moon
after USSR USA amp China
ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launched
Chandrayan-2 on 22nd July 2019 from Bengaluru
(Satish Dhawan Space Center) under the command of
ISRO chief K Shivan It consists of ORBITER
LANDER amp Lunar Rover PRAGYAN Like Chandra-
yan-1(22nd Oct2008) it was Indiarsquos indigenous moon
mission
It touched the Moon Surface on Saturday early morn-
ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-
ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-
ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of
moon it lost contact with the ground station Because
of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be
monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m
(approx) away from its assigned location near
SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still
orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange
signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it
The ORBITER which will remain active for another
12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-
owed portion of the moon for the first time in history
with the help of its high-resolution camera
The entire Nation irrespective of their field of
knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front
of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of
VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true
Indians who always dream progress and development
of their motherland But our heart never accepts this
as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement
for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-
pose of our mission
But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at
this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring
country quoting this as a big failure on part of India
blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos
money on this
Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will
be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to
this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other
nations on such missions
Further I should say that India is not new in the field
of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-
TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975
It was named after famous scientist of ancient India
ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested
for the first time the HELIOCENTRIC THEORY
(Sun at the center and all planets revolve around the
Sun) of the Solar System much earlier than ready for
New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 57
COPERNICUS as believed in the western world
Other countries might have moon on their flags but
we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is
great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are
whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-
rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is
only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the
unknown and its continual application for the benefit
of the mankind)rdquo
Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by
various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-
PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-
cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958
onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as
46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was
attempted out of which only 21 was successful
Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-
tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the
overall attempts conducted by other Nations
USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-
NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was
planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January
SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR
successfully on moon
NASA after many attempts was successful to send
first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th
July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk
on moon
Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-
clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-
SION MANGAL for our next moon mission

Women Empowerment
- Devangi Dongre VII-B
The abilities of women in making decisions education and profession have
been largely suppressed since ages considering them inferior to men The situa-
tion is worst in underdeveloped and developing nations where women in a fami-
ly are not allowed to take financial decisions or decide on matters regarding their own education
With such state of affairs it would be a fallacy to dream about the goals of sustainable development and gen-
der equality There is an instant need to take measures to lift the social personal and professional status of
women bringing them shoulder to shoulder with men These particular measures constitute a process which
is known as ldquoWomen Empowermentrdquo Providing better education and employment opportunities to women
ensuring their better health providing justice and ensuring professional equivalence are the few methods of
women empowerment
Water Conservation
- Paarth Bhagat VII-J
Water is life If there was no water there would be no
life Hence water is the precious gift of God to mother
Earth We cannot imagine our lives without water
We human beings are made up of water it is the only
transportation medium that carries the food molecules
and oxygen to the cells of every body parts to help the
blood It signifies that water is the most essential in-
gredient to the functioning of life of every organism
So you see living this wonderful life is impossible
without water
Water is the force behind all the industry agriculture
manufacturing and trade and commerce All forms of
energy generation is done using water Be it hydroe-
lectrically projects or thermal power plant or nuclear
power plant water is
the key ingredient in
all of them There
would be no power
without water No
water no life
So it is our responsibility to conserve this life nectar
It is possible only through by changing our outlook
towards this wonderful natural resource We must en-
sure there is no pollution of water bodies by dumping
any waste such as sewage effluents and other toxic
substances We must also ensure there is no emission
of green-house gases into the atmosphere The people
and the government must ensure installation of efflu-
ents and smoke treatment plants at industrial garbage
and sewage units

The kind Fairies -Aditys Patil VIII-E
This story starts with two beautiful babies in a king-
dom called fairyland The babies were very pretty
Their names were Ovi and Riddhi They were growing
pretty well As they grew they became more and
more pretty Over and over they were also fairies and
within 5 years they became young girls Their mother
told them to go to school The girls askedwhere are
the schools There are no schools here Mother said
dont worry you will go to the planet Earth On the
planet Earth there is a very good school named New
Horizon Public School and the short form is nhps We
said ok On the first day of our school we were very
afraid but after a few days we
became more smart than the
others We were getting a lot of
prizes which we shared with
eveyone in the school This
made us and others happy One day We became the
princess of fairyland Our wings were like a rainbow
We were twins and had very long hairs Now I end
my story with a beautiful quote
ALWAYS HELP EACH OTHER LIKE THE
FARIES BECAUSE HELPING PEOPLE IS THE
PATH TO GOD
The Day Irsquoll Never Forget - Saranya Sarangi VII -
It was a day of love and affection
There was no visible sign of caution
But something unfortunate was going to happen
Nobody knew where and when
There was a blast at half past three
In a beauty land called Paradise On Earth
A complete silence and pity hadnrsquot the thee
Perished laid the martyrs
Whom our motherland gave birth
I still remember that scaring sight
The scattered limbs I couldnrsquot see
My heart got filled with grief and fright
No Indian could glee
Terribly writhing the soldiers were seen
Some families languished and some
were crying
So loyal to their country they had been
None of their families were mollifying
Whatever homage to our martyrs we pay
Tiny before their they lay
Salute to their tribute to motherland
To protect us they always walked hand in hand
Little Birdie - Marisha Nath VIII-C
I am a little birdie in the sky
With two wings to fly
I never disturb you
I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom
O human Then why do you steal my FREEDOM
Binding me alone in the cage makes me sad
Donrsquot you know caging a bird is bad
Looking at the sky
I wish I could fly
I never disturb you
I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom
O human Then why do you steal my
FREEDOM

Summers in India - Saranya Sarangi VIII
A hot season beginning from April till May is what we
call summer And thatrsquos the basic rule in India But
thatrsquos not something through which we can define
summers in our country India The sun shining high
above the head increasing the heat and this scorching
heat is something very unique about summers in India
Those ice-lolly stalls roaming down the streets tin-
kling their tiny bells is something special one will nev-
er find in any other country Many people love this
season
Especially the children as they get to eat ice-creams
Many people even donrsquot As they feel that this season
can only make a person dehydrated exhausted and irri-
tated Summer as we think as an unfruitful season is
contrast in reality Schools conduct summer camps
during vacation where stu-
dents can join different aca-
demic and co-curricular
courses to improve them-
selves Many children even spend time with their fami-
lies
Often families plan trips to different places as they get
a very long vacation during this season But now-a-
days due to increasing heat these pleasant summers
are becoming unbearable Every just sweat and sweat
We get a lethargic feeling not ready to do any work
Due to this heat we continually keep the ACs on which
consume a lot of electricity creating trouble for our
mother Earth and us Gradually that charm of the
unique kind of summers will be lost if precautions are
not taken We must really hope and work hard to bring
back our lovely lsquoSummers in Indiarsquo

Life is magical - Piyush Sahoo VII-H
A new day or a new night
Everything in life seems bright
A new morning or a new evening
Life is full of happening
A life is just like a kite
It may disappear in a sight
Life moves from baby to old
Make your life challenging and bold
Enjoy life the fullest
Never accept less than best
Unlikely life comes to an end
But remember never to bend
Happy sadness victory and loss
Accept it the way it comes
Life can be at times tragical
But make it the most beautiful
Life is magicalhellip
Life is so magicalhellip
Humility -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
Humility is having a heart to treat others with respect
and love Considering people worthy of your love
time and efforts regardless of who they are or what
they have done A person is truly humble when they
are willing to work hard for others expecting nothing
in return
Humility has the power to change a personrsquos perspec-
tive towards life It can make a difference in the way a
person is looked upon by others Doing an act of hum-
bleness can make a personrsquos day Humility is about
not having an ego or considering things below your
dignity or considering yourself greater than others
People often confuse humility with self-respect They
canrsquot make out the difference between being useful to
others and being used by others
It takes courage to be humble
because in the era in which we
live humility is looked upon as
weakness People assume yoursquore not strong enough to
stand up for yourself They think you surrender in-
stead of protesting They will despise and scorn you
but they donrsquot know that you take pleasure in what
you do because they havenrsquot experienced that kind of
joy
So if you do have humility donrsquot draw back from it
because of what others think Whatever you are doing

I am the EARTH - Deepashikha P VII F
Hello I am the Earth
For me I am the sweetest heart
I provide you with lots of stuff
With food and the mangoes that you love
I give you water soil and Sun
I am special as I am just one
But the humans living on me
Are making me dirty
They are cutting all the trees
And killing all the species helliphellip
They filling me with smoke and death
They are killing themselves
with lack of breath
I am the Earth
I am your mother
Make me the best by pol-
luting me less and less
And preventing my green dress
You can save water
you plant a tree
Make a better home for you on me
Recycle things donrsquot throw them awayhellip
MAKE EVERY DAY AN EARTH

OUR FUTURE EARTH - Hiya Purswani VIII-B
We all know the present condition of our environment
around us Inspite of advanced and modern technolo-
gy we humans are still not able to find a solution
Early humans neither they had much technology nor
they had enough intelligence but still in the early ages
the environment was clean making it the reason for
the increasing life span of humans Its a shocking
news to know that the amount of plastic bottles pro-
duced now may lead to increase in plastic pollution
and cause several death Its a great opportunity to be
as a human in this beautiful earth and so its our re-
sponsibility to make it clean In monsoon people cut
down trees to prevent accidents to occur but do we
plant trees in summer to prevent more global warm-
ing We can prevent bad things to happen but not can-
not take that much effort for good things to spread
Have you ever wondered while seeing a tap open how
many taps are left open at the same time in the whole
world It might sound unbelievable there can be a
World War III on water land and fresh air The way
we are thinking about the wastage of water may lead
us to a massive pain Itrsquos truly said by Warren Buffet
sometimes to buy things we need we have to sell
things we do not need This happens in the case of
lacking of intelligence We say every scholar is a true
genius but in my
opinion a person is
genius if he has the
ability to save and
change things in his
own way We all have the ability to save this earth
but our thoughts our ego and our greediness is stop-
ping us to think in a better way Everyone has a good
and a bad side in his life What matters is the part we
choose to act upon This is an excellent thought said
by Sirius Black in the movie Harry Potter Itrsquos time to
bring a change We always have time to do good
things all we need is hope Spreading awareness is the
best idea to bring a change If everyone stops thinking
about their economical needs and start contributing
towards the environment by planting more trees cer-
tainly there will be a beneficial change in this world
Neither do we think about the future nor care about
the present Why not be an optimist and think in a
positive way of life Our studies our needs our
knowledge will not help us in any way if we donʼt
change Its not that easy to plant a tree and care for it a
whole year if we only plant it with all our love nature
is certainly going to care for it Lastly I would like to
end with a quoterdquo Come forth in the light of things
nature will be your teacher
The Small Hours Pranjal Anil Chavan V-C
No more my little song Come back
And now of nights I lay my head on down
to watch the black
And wait the unfailing gray
Oh Sad are winter nights and slow
And sad is a song thatrsquos dumb
And sad it is to lie I know
Another dawn will come

Floods and Destruction
- Nirvi Soni IV-H
India faces occurrence of floods each year in some
parts of Assam during the rainy season Water of river
Brahmaputra rises and enters into many villages
causing great destruction Floods are unavoidable but
we need to take precautions in the following ways by
reducing mining activities building dams growing
more trees etc During floods the weather becomes
wet and gloomy Trees and plants get uprooted This
way floods cause great de-
struction to both life and
property It also becomes dif-
ficult to travel from place to
place Many people are left
homeless The rain water should be harvested and
stored in large storage tanks The harvested rainwater
can be used for washing clothes and cleaning By us-
ing rain water in our daily life we can preserve water
resources
Good Morning Everyone -Vyomi ThakkarVI - H
Come with me wersquoll have some fun
Wersquoll go on a walk
Donrsquot worry will have a great talk
Roaming around the ground
With beautiful birdrsquos sound
We donrsquot know if anything will be found
Wersquoll surely find the crown
Up on the chilled mountain
We saw a beautiful fountain
Surrounded by a beautiful castle
Decorated with the colourful tassel
Just be quiet and keen
Soon you will be the queen
Think before you speak
-Shravya Atreya IX-D
Think before you speak
There are hearts you must please
Think before you speak
You canrsquot undo the harm done after you squeak
Think before you speak
You might have done greater harm than you might
think
Think before you speak
There are still places left for you
to seek
Think before you speak
There is a long way to go before
you sleep
Think before you speak
There are hearts you must
please
Sunrise -Anuradha Singh VII-H
Over the glimmering purple sea
Under the golden sun rise

staring at his own in the

Everything is fine
With fading stars and rising light

GLOBAL WARMING - Adhyant Singh VII-F
Global warming refers to the steady rise in the Earthrsquos mean temperature The effect of global
warming had come into sight when polar ice caps started melting this phenomena is called ICE ndash
ALBEDO the ice caps melt faster due to the rise in the temperature This sudden rise in the temperature near
the poles began in 1999 The polar ice caps in Antarctica melt at the rate of 400000000000 tons per year ac-
cording to some scientists it would approximately take 5000 years to melt the total ice on earth In 2013 Inter-
governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) stated that the main cause of Global warming is human inter-
vention like emission of Green house gases like Carbon-Di-Oxide nitrous oxide and methane
These gases trap the heat which is reflected by the Earthrsquos surface thus increasing the temperature and also
destroying the ozone layer which prevents the ultraviolet rays of the sun from reaching the earthrsquos surface Al-
so burning fossil fuel contributes to the problem Effects of global warming have also led to the increase in the
sea level and extreme weather like heat waves and change in the regional pattern of precipitation and the ex-
pansion of desserts A concentrated and focused effort by the entire humanity can curb down the impact of
Global warming and also prevent it Planting more trees to control the amount of carbon-di-oxide eliminating
the use of chlorofluorocarbon or (CFCrsquoS) are a few steps All the countries have signed up with the United Na-
tions Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to prevent the doomsday of Earth So to prevent
earthrsquos doomsday we all must work together
Itrsquos not too late there is still timehellipBefore the earth ends and we whinehellipSo keep on marching and planting
greens To end Global Warming and Make our planet greenhellip
What will happen without Instagram

Instagram Instagram Instagram
I was hearing it from everyone
I asked who was the inventor
Nobody knew the answer to my question
Mobiles Mobiles Mobiles

I asked who was the inventor
Again nobody was aware
I wondered why was it like so
Why is it they donrsquot know
There was one time we were
engrossed in books
Now we care more about our looks
Instagram wonrsquot give you a job
You will have to study and top
Your fellow followers wonrsquot help either
If you donrsquot have a job no one will bother

I give you wood
I need some sunlight
And some fresh air
I need some water
And your loving care

The Night - Matangi Rajesh VII-D
Its the night
The moon is white
When we switch off the light
What a beautiful sight
After this comes the sun bright
There is no more artificial light
This is the time to start your diet
To go for a run wearing tights
Then comes the evening when
you have snacks light
And fly a big colorful kite
or include your sibling in a pillow fight
Again comes the night
A moon which is white
We switch off the light
A beautiful sight

Hyperloop -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
Human inventions have baffled the world They are
innumerable ranging from revolutionizing
smartphones to not-so-breathtaking ice cream cones
but they play a role in our life just the same The
things which are commonplace to us now were unbe-
knownst to people once upon a time For the people of
the 19th century the car was a thing of the future until
in 1885 Karl Benz ran his first car on the road Then
for centuries people took the prospect of of flying like
the birds as only a wild possibility which was made
possible in 1903 when the Wright Brothers flew the
first plane
What is the thing of the future for us Well we are the
future modifying and bettering the things that have
been made and crating stuff that we didnt even dare
to imagine about The Hyperloop fulfills both aspects
of the definition a very advanced model of our faith-
ful train and yet a brand new idea to scale greater
heights The Hyperloop is an ideal mode of efficient
transport Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane
with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing
speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt have to
ace the two types of friction that every other vehicle
has to face Air resistance and ground friction The
pods of the Hyperloop are propelled through a depres-
surized tub Since it is almost vacuum very little air
resistance can be offered inside the tube Due to this
the energy required to travel is also very less The Hy-
perloops unique technology uses magnetic levitation
to guide and lift the pods of the rail Since the pod is
not in contact with the ground there is no friction act-
ing on itThe first Hyperloop ndash virgin Hyperloop one
is set to run with passengers as early as 2021 and is
created by SpaceX and Tesla
The mastermind behind the Hyperloop is Elon Musk
who first published a 58 page white-paper on the web-
site of his company-Space X It was available to all
and was titled Hyperloop alpha The Hyperloop may
be the pioneer of a whole new era of transportation
traveling a distance which would otherwise take 12
hours in just I hour it has crossed all known bounda-
ries and created higher limits for us to reach and reach
we must for when time is money and money is time
an option that saves both needs to be used
Exams are good or bad -Nupoor Teli VIII
In my humble opinion exams are pressure on the stu-
dents They are forced to study and score good marks
which can lead to frustration An environment of com-
petitiveness of standing first is created for which stu-
dents keep on studying day and night without any rec-
reation It is good to study but not just for the sake of
gaining marks
Why do we study What is the main intention behind
education Seeking interesting and fascinating
knowledge as well as facts about the world But now-a
-days the main reason for studying is gaining marks
If there are no marks no career and no success This
is the mindset of 70 people of the world especially
parents They pressurize their children so much that
they get depressed or sometimes attempt suicide as
wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-
ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities
chapter test after every topic notebookfile submis-
sion etc And as cherry on top of the cake we have the
semester exams of eighty marks as well What all will
the students do And even if any extra-curricular ac-
tivities are being learnt then more extra studies Just
study study and study
Why so much of tension on the children Under this
tension only they start cheating As time passes cheat-
ing becomes a habit of their lifeI fell that exams
should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate
whether the students are clear with the concepts or
not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but
should be made understand their mistakes Let them
choose their own career options on their own Help
them know what they like to study and what they want
to do in their life So dont pressurize students for
what they dont like and encourage them in what they
do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the
country

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B
Life is all about interactions You meet people and
you interact You observe them consciously or sub-
consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us
more than we even realise Some people leave a last-
ing impression on us and entirely change the course of
life for better or for worse Some people influence us
help us go further and make all the difference
I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-
tial people They have taken care of me ever since I
came into this world They are the ones who wish the
best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-
cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel
no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-
come a part of my personality They are the ones who
helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me
to be better
When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are
the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-
takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique
learning experience It has made me realise how eve-
rything they do has a reason They are the ones who
have taught me the importance of the little things in
life They are the ones who have helped me recognize
and follow my passion The very thought of them not
being a part of my life is scary to the least as without
them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am
today and whatever I have achieved is all because of
them and I am very grateful of that
Eyesight
-Aditi Shenoy VIII-F
The tired little girl went to bed
Recollecting the days bygone
Seeing them in her dreams
As the day she was born
Trying to see the world
With her little eyes
But the sun with his brightness
Wouldnt let her catch the sights
The girl still eager
And curious to see the world around her
Again opened her eyes
But her vision was blurred
Still she did not lose hope
Which flowed through her blood
Encouraging and pushing her
To see the world further
Her heart beating fast
Her enthusiasm increasing
She slowly tried to see
With her eyes continuously blinking
Starting to lose hope
She was ready to give up
But curiosity got the upper hand
And pushed her forward
With her hope again rising
and strength in her eyesight
She is finally seeing the world
With wide open eyes

Conquering the space
-Marisha Nath VIII-C
ldquoThere is no failure in Science it is only continual
effort to conquer the unknown On the way even if we
face failure it rather adds more value to our effort for
our next journey to know the unknownrdquo
Chandrayan-2 Indiarsquos Moon Mission The dream of
entire India to land on moon and become the 4th Na-
tion in the world to put its flag on the soil of moon
after USSR USA amp China
ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launched
Chandrayan-2 on 22nd July 2019 from Bengaluru
(Satish Dhawan Space Center) under the command of
ISRO chief K Shivan It consists of ORBITER
LANDER amp Lunar Rover PRAGYAN Like Chandra-
yan-1(22nd Oct2008) it was Indiarsquos indigenous moon
mission
It touched the Moon Surface on Saturday early morn-
ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-
ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-
ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of
moon it lost contact with the ground station Because
of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be
monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m
(approx) away from its assigned location near
SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still
orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange
signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it
The ORBITER which will remain active for another
12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-
owed portion of the moon for the first time in history
with the help of its high-resolution camera
The entire Nation irrespective of their field of
knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front
of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of
VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true
Indians who always dream progress and development
of their motherland But our heart never accepts this
as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement
for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-
pose of our mission
But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at
this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring
country quoting this as a big failure on part of India
blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos
money on this
Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will
be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to
this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other
nations on such missions
Further I should say that India is not new in the field
of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-
TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975
It was named after famous scientist of ancient India
ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested
for the first time the HELIOCENTRIC THEORY
(Sun at the center and all planets revolve around the
Sun) of the Solar System much earlier than ready for
New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 57
COPERNICUS as believed in the western world
Other countries might have moon on their flags but
we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is
great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are
whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-
rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is
only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the
unknown and its continual application for the benefit
of the mankind)rdquo
Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by
various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-
PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-
cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958
onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as
46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was
attempted out of which only 21 was successful
Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-
tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the
overall attempts conducted by other Nations
USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-
NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was
planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January
SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR
successfully on moon
NASA after many attempts was successful to send
first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th
July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk
on moon
Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-
clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-
SION MANGAL for our next moon mission

Women Empowerment
- Devangi Dongre VII-B
The abilities of women in making decisions education and profession have
been largely suppressed since ages considering them inferior to men The situa-
tion is worst in underdeveloped and developing nations where women in a fami-
ly are not allowed to take financial decisions or decide on matters regarding their own education
With such state of affairs it would be a fallacy to dream about the goals of sustainable development and gen-
der equality There is an instant need to take measures to lift the social personal and professional status of
women bringing them shoulder to shoulder with men These particular measures constitute a process which
is known as ldquoWomen Empowermentrdquo Providing better education and employment opportunities to women
ensuring their better health providing justice and ensuring professional equivalence are the few methods of
women empowerment
Water Conservation
- Paarth Bhagat VII-J
Water is life If there was no water there would be no
life Hence water is the precious gift of God to mother
Earth We cannot imagine our lives without water
We human beings are made up of water it is the only
transportation medium that carries the food molecules
and oxygen to the cells of every body parts to help the
blood It signifies that water is the most essential in-
gredient to the functioning of life of every organism
So you see living this wonderful life is impossible
without water
Water is the force behind all the industry agriculture
manufacturing and trade and commerce All forms of
energy generation is done using water Be it hydroe-
lectrically projects or thermal power plant or nuclear
power plant water is
the key ingredient in
all of them There
would be no power
without water No
water no life
So it is our responsibility to conserve this life nectar
It is possible only through by changing our outlook
towards this wonderful natural resource We must en-
sure there is no pollution of water bodies by dumping
any waste such as sewage effluents and other toxic
substances We must also ensure there is no emission
of green-house gases into the atmosphere The people
and the government must ensure installation of efflu-
ents and smoke treatment plants at industrial garbage
and sewage units

The kind Fairies -Aditys Patil VIII-E
This story starts with two beautiful babies in a king-
dom called fairyland The babies were very pretty
Their names were Ovi and Riddhi They were growing
pretty well As they grew they became more and
more pretty Over and over they were also fairies and
within 5 years they became young girls Their mother
told them to go to school The girls askedwhere are
the schools There are no schools here Mother said
dont worry you will go to the planet Earth On the
planet Earth there is a very good school named New
Horizon Public School and the short form is nhps We
said ok On the first day of our school we were very
afraid but after a few days we
became more smart than the
others We were getting a lot of
prizes which we shared with
eveyone in the school This
made us and others happy One day We became the
princess of fairyland Our wings were like a rainbow
We were twins and had very long hairs Now I end
my story with a beautiful quote
ALWAYS HELP EACH OTHER LIKE THE
FARIES BECAUSE HELPING PEOPLE IS THE
PATH TO GOD
The Day Irsquoll Never Forget - Saranya Sarangi VII -
It was a day of love and affection
There was no visible sign of caution
But something unfortunate was going to happen
Nobody knew where and when
There was a blast at half past three
In a beauty land called Paradise On Earth
A complete silence and pity hadnrsquot the thee
Perished laid the martyrs
Whom our motherland gave birth
I still remember that scaring sight
The scattered limbs I couldnrsquot see
My heart got filled with grief and fright
No Indian could glee
Terribly writhing the soldiers were seen
Some families languished and some
were crying
So loyal to their country they had been
None of their families were mollifying
Whatever homage to our martyrs we pay
Tiny before their they lay
Salute to their tribute to motherland
To protect us they always walked hand in hand
Little Birdie - Marisha Nath VIII-C
I am a little birdie in the sky
With two wings to fly
I never disturb you
I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom
O human Then why do you steal my FREEDOM
Binding me alone in the cage makes me sad
Donrsquot you know caging a bird is bad
Looking at the sky
I wish I could fly
I never disturb you
I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom
O human Then why do you steal my
FREEDOM

Summers in India - Saranya Sarangi VIII
A hot season beginning from April till May is what we
call summer And thatrsquos the basic rule in India But
thatrsquos not something through which we can define
summers in our country India The sun shining high
above the head increasing the heat and this scorching
heat is something very unique about summers in India
Those ice-lolly stalls roaming down the streets tin-
kling their tiny bells is something special one will nev-
er find in any other country Many people love this
season
Especially the children as they get to eat ice-creams
Many people even donrsquot As they feel that this season
can only make a person dehydrated exhausted and irri-
tated Summer as we think as an unfruitful season is
contrast in reality Schools conduct summer camps
during vacation where stu-
dents can join different aca-
demic and co-curricular
courses to improve them-
selves Many children even spend time with their fami-
lies
Often families plan trips to different places as they get
a very long vacation during this season But now-a-
days due to increasing heat these pleasant summers
are becoming unbearable Every just sweat and sweat
We get a lethargic feeling not ready to do any work
Due to this heat we continually keep the ACs on which
consume a lot of electricity creating trouble for our

unique kind of summers will be lost if precautions are

Exams are good or bad
- Nupoor Teli VIIIndashI
In my humble opinionexams are apressure on the stu-
dents They are forced to study and score good
markswhich can lead to frustration An environmentof
competitivenessof standing first is created for which
students keep on studying day and night without any
recreation It is good to studybut not just for the sake
of gaining marks
Why do we study What is the main intention behind
education Seeking intersresting and fascinating
knowledge as well as facts about the world But now-a
-daysthe main reason for studying is gaining marks If
there are no marksno career andno success This is the
mindset of 70 people of the worldespecially parents
They pressurize their children so much that they get
depressed or sometimes attempt suicide as well
Every two months an exam is conducted Moreo-
verthere are projectssubject-enrichment activi-
tieschapter test sfter every topicnotebookfile submis
sion etcAnd as acherry on top
of the cakewe have the semes-
ter exams of eighty marks as
well What all will the students
do And even if any extra-
curricular activities are being learntthen more extra
studies Just studystudy and study
Why so much of tension on the children Under this
tension only they start cheating As time passes cheat-
ing becomes a habit of their life
I fell that exams should be conducted once a term in
order to evaluate whether the students are clear with
the concepts or notThey shouldnt be pressurized for
their marksbut should be made understand their mis-
takes Let them choose their own career options on
their own Help them knowwhat they like to study and
what they want to do in their life So dont pressurize
students for what they dont likeand encourage them in
what they do After allthey are only the Rising stars of
the country

Life is magical - Piyush Sahoo VII-H
A new day or a new night
Everything in life seems bright
A new morning or a new evening
Life is full of happening
A life is just like a kite
It may disappear in a sight
Life moves from baby to old
Make your life challenging and bold
Enjoy life the fullest
Never accept less than best
Unlikely life comes to an end
But remember never to bend
Happy sadness victory and loss
Accept it the way it comes
Life can be at times tragical
But make it the most beautiful
Life is magicalhellip
Life is so magicalhellip
Humility -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
Humility is having a heart to treat others with respect
and love Considering people worthy of your love
time and efforts regardless of who they are or what
they have done A person is truly humble when they
are willing to work hard for others expecting nothing
in return
Humility has the power to change a personrsquos perspec-
tive towards life It can make a difference in the way a
person is looked upon by others Doing an act of hum-
bleness can make a personrsquos day Humility is about
not having an ego or considering things below your
dignity or considering yourself greater than others
People often confuse humility with self-respect They
canrsquot make out the difference between being useful to
others and being used by others
It takes courage to be humble
because in the era in which we
live humility is looked upon as
weakness People assume yoursquore not strong enough to
stand up for yourself They think you surrender in-
stead of protesting They will despise and scorn you
but they donrsquot know that you take pleasure in what
you do because they havenrsquot experienced that kind of
joy
So if you do have humility donrsquot draw back from it
because of what others think Whatever you are doing
is for the good of others and you have no need to be
ashamed of that Humbleness will spread from person
to person Who knows maybe your one act of humili-
ty will spread on to help a person in need So be brave
be humble
Mom -Tanvi Sawant VII-C
Oh mom I came to this beautiful world just because
of youhellip
Mom what would I do without you
Oh mom there are thorns on the way
But you manage to get me awayhellip
Oh mom I canrsquot say how much yoursquore to me
Mom just promise me that yoursquoll and
always be with mehellip
Oh mom this world is incomplete
without you
Just like the sky without itrsquos bright color bluehellip
Oh mom yoursquore the candle that showed the way in the
dark
My dear mom you made my life spark

I am the EARTH - Deepashikha P VII F
Hello I am the Earth
For me I am the sweetest heart
I provide you with lots of stuff
With food and the mangoes that you love
I give you water soil and Sun
I am special as I am just one
But the humans living on me
Are making me dirty
They are cutting all the trees
And killing all the species helliphellip
They filling me with smoke and death
They are killing themselves
with lack of breath
I am the Earth
I am your mother
Make me the best by pol-
luting me less and less
And preventing my green dress
You can save water
you plant a tree
Make a better home for you on me
Recycle things donrsquot throw them awayhellip

OUR FUTURE EARTH - Hiya Purswani VIII-B
We all know the present condition of our environment
around us Inspite of advanced and modern technolo-
gy we humans are still not able to find a solution
Early humans neither they had much technology nor
they had enough intelligence but still in the early ages
the environment was clean making it the reason for
the increasing life span of humans Its a shocking
news to know that the amount of plastic bottles pro-
duced now may lead to increase in plastic pollution
and cause several death Its a great opportunity to be
as a human in this beautiful earth and so its our re-
sponsibility to make it clean In monsoon people cut
down trees to prevent accidents to occur but do we
plant trees in summer to prevent more global warm-
ing We can prevent bad things to happen but not can-
not take that much effort for good things to spread
Have you ever wondered while seeing a tap open how
many taps are left open at the same time in the whole
world It might sound unbelievable there can be a
World War III on water land and fresh air The way
we are thinking about the wastage of water may lead
us to a massive pain Itrsquos truly said by Warren Buffet
sometimes to buy things we need we have to sell
things we do not need This happens in the case of
lacking of intelligence We say every scholar is a true
genius but in my
opinion a person is
genius if he has the
ability to save and
change things in his
own way We all have the ability to save this earth
but our thoughts our ego and our greediness is stop-
ping us to think in a better way Everyone has a good
and a bad side in his life What matters is the part we
choose to act upon This is an excellent thought said
by Sirius Black in the movie Harry Potter Itrsquos time to
bring a change We always have time to do good
things all we need is hope Spreading awareness is the
best idea to bring a change If everyone stops thinking
about their economical needs and start contributing
towards the environment by planting more trees cer-
tainly there will be a beneficial change in this world
Neither do we think about the future nor care about
the present Why not be an optimist and think in a
positive way of life Our studies our needs our
knowledge will not help us in any way if we donʼt
change Its not that easy to plant a tree and care for it a
whole year if we only plant it with all our love nature
is certainly going to care for it Lastly I would like to
end with a quoterdquo Come forth in the light of things
nature will be your teacher
The Small Hours Pranjal Anil Chavan V-C
No more my little song Come back
And now of nights I lay my head on down
to watch the black
And wait the unfailing gray
Oh Sad are winter nights and slow
And sad is a song thatrsquos dumb
And sad it is to lie I know
Another dawn will come

Floods and Destruction
- Nirvi Soni IV-H
India faces occurrence of floods each year in some
parts of Assam during the rainy season Water of river
Brahmaputra rises and enters into many villages
causing great destruction Floods are unavoidable but
we need to take precautions in the following ways by
reducing mining activities building dams growing
more trees etc During floods the weather becomes
wet and gloomy Trees and plants get uprooted This
way floods cause great de-
struction to both life and
property It also becomes dif-
ficult to travel from place to
place Many people are left
homeless The rain water should be harvested and
stored in large storage tanks The harvested rainwater
can be used for washing clothes and cleaning By us-
ing rain water in our daily life we can preserve water
resources
Good Morning Everyone -Vyomi ThakkarVI - H
Come with me wersquoll have some fun
Wersquoll go on a walk
Donrsquot worry will have a great talk
Roaming around the ground
With beautiful birdrsquos sound
We donrsquot know if anything will be found
Wersquoll surely find the crown
Up on the chilled mountain
We saw a beautiful fountain
Surrounded by a beautiful castle
Decorated with the colourful tassel
Just be quiet and keen
Soon you will be the queen
Think before you speak
-Shravya Atreya IX-D
Think before you speak
There are hearts you must please
Think before you speak
You canrsquot undo the harm done after you squeak
Think before you speak
You might have done greater harm than you might
think
Think before you speak
There are still places left for you
to seek
Think before you speak
There is a long way to go before
you sleep
Think before you speak
There are hearts you must
please
Sunrise -Anuradha Singh VII-H
Over the glimmering purple sea
Under the golden sun rise

staring at his own in the
enamelled sea
Everything is fine
With fading stars and rising light

GLOBAL WARMING - Adhyant Singh VII-F
Global warming refers to the steady rise in the Earthrsquos mean temperature The effect of global
warming had come into sight when polar ice caps started melting this phenomena is called ICE ndash
ALBEDO the ice caps melt faster due to the rise in the temperature This sudden rise in the temperature near
the poles began in 1999 The polar ice caps in Antarctica melt at the rate of 400000000000 tons per year ac-
cording to some scientists it would approximately take 5000 years to melt the total ice on earth In 2013 Inter-
governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) stated that the main cause of Global warming is human inter-
vention like emission of Green house gases like Carbon-Di-Oxide nitrous oxide and methane
These gases trap the heat which is reflected by the Earthrsquos surface thus increasing the temperature and also
destroying the ozone layer which prevents the ultraviolet rays of the sun from reaching the earthrsquos surface Al-
so burning fossil fuel contributes to the problem Effects of global warming have also led to the increase in the
sea level and extreme weather like heat waves and change in the regional pattern of precipitation and the ex-
pansion of desserts A concentrated and focused effort by the entire humanity can curb down the impact of
Global warming and also prevent it Planting more trees to control the amount of carbon-di-oxide eliminating
the use of chlorofluorocarbon or (CFCrsquoS) are a few steps All the countries have signed up with the United Na-
tions Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to prevent the doomsday of Earth So to prevent
earthrsquos doomsday we all must work together
Itrsquos not too late there is still timehellipBefore the earth ends and we whinehellipSo keep on marching and planting
greens To end Global Warming and Make our planet greenhellip
What will happen without Instagram

I was hearing it from everyone
I asked who was the inventor
Nobody knew the answer to my question
Mobiles Mobiles Mobiles

I asked who was the inventor
Again nobody was aware
I wondered why was it like so
Why is it they donrsquot know
There was one time we were
engrossed in books
Now we care more about our looks
Instagram wonrsquot give you a job
You will have to study and top
Your fellow followers wonrsquot help either
If you donrsquot have a job no one will bother

The Night - Matangi Rajesh VII-D
Its the night
The moon is white
When we switch off the light
What a beautiful sight
After this comes the sun bright
There is no more artificial light
This is the time to start your diet
To go for a run wearing tights
Then comes the evening when
you have snacks light
And fly a big colorful kite
or include your sibling in a pillow fight
Again comes the night
A moon which is white
We switch off the light
A beautiful sight

Hyperloop -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
Human inventions have baffled the world They are
innumerable ranging from revolutionizing
smartphones to not-so-breathtaking ice cream cones
but they play a role in our life just the same The
things which are commonplace to us now were unbe-
knownst to people once upon a time For the people of
the 19th century the car was a thing of the future until
in 1885 Karl Benz ran his first car on the road Then
for centuries people took the prospect of of flying like
the birds as only a wild possibility which was made
possible in 1903 when the Wright Brothers flew the
first plane
What is the thing of the future for us Well we are the
future modifying and bettering the things that have
been made and crating stuff that we didnt even dare
to imagine about The Hyperloop fulfills both aspects
of the definition a very advanced model of our faith-
ful train and yet a brand new idea to scale greater
heights The Hyperloop is an ideal mode of efficient
transport Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane
with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing
speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt have to
ace the two types of friction that every other vehicle
has to face Air resistance and ground friction The
pods of the Hyperloop are propelled through a depres-
surized tub Since it is almost vacuum very little air
resistance can be offered inside the tube Due to this
the energy required to travel is also very less The Hy-
perloops unique technology uses magnetic levitation
to guide and lift the pods of the rail Since the pod is
not in contact with the ground there is no friction act-
ing on itThe first Hyperloop ndash virgin Hyperloop one
is set to run with passengers as early as 2021 and is
created by SpaceX and Tesla
The mastermind behind the Hyperloop is Elon Musk
who first published a 58 page white-paper on the web-
site of his company-Space X It was available to all
and was titled Hyperloop alpha The Hyperloop may
be the pioneer of a whole new era of transportation
traveling a distance which would otherwise take 12
hours in just I hour it has crossed all known bounda-
ries and created higher limits for us to reach and reach
we must for when time is money and money is time
an option that saves both needs to be used
Exams are good or bad -Nupoor Teli VIII
In my humble opinion exams are pressure on the stu-
dents They are forced to study and score good marks
which can lead to frustration An environment of com-
petitiveness of standing first is created for which stu-
dents keep on studying day and night without any rec-
reation It is good to study but not just for the sake of
gaining marks
Why do we study What is the main intention behind
education Seeking interesting and fascinating
knowledge as well as facts about the world But now-a
-days the main reason for studying is gaining marks
If there are no marks no career and no success This
is the mindset of 70 people of the world especially
parents They pressurize their children so much that
they get depressed or sometimes attempt suicide as
wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-
ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities
chapter test after every topic notebookfile submis-
sion etc And as cherry on top of the cake we have the
semester exams of eighty marks as well What all will
the students do And even if any extra-curricular ac-
tivities are being learnt then more extra studies Just
study study and study
Why so much of tension on the children Under this
tension only they start cheating As time passes cheat-
ing becomes a habit of their lifeI fell that exams
should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate
whether the students are clear with the concepts or
not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but
should be made understand their mistakes Let them
choose their own career options on their own Help
them know what they like to study and what they want
to do in their life So dont pressurize students for
what they dont like and encourage them in what they
do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the
country

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B
Life is all about interactions You meet people and
you interact You observe them consciously or sub-
consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us
more than we even realise Some people leave a last-
ing impression on us and entirely change the course of
life for better or for worse Some people influence us
help us go further and make all the difference
I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-
tial people They have taken care of me ever since I
came into this world They are the ones who wish the
best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-
cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel
no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-
come a part of my personality They are the ones who
helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me
to be better
When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are
the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-
takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique
learning experience It has made me realise how eve-
rything they do has a reason They are the ones who
have taught me the importance of the little things in
life They are the ones who have helped me recognize
and follow my passion The very thought of them not
being a part of my life is scary to the least as without
them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am
today and whatever I have achieved is all because of
them and I am very grateful of that
Eyesight
-Aditi Shenoy VIII-F
The tired little girl went to bed
Recollecting the days bygone
Seeing them in her dreams
As the day she was born
Trying to see the world
With her little eyes
But the sun with his brightness
Wouldnt let her catch the sights
The girl still eager
And curious to see the world around her
Again opened her eyes
But her vision was blurred
Still she did not lose hope
Which flowed through her blood
Encouraging and pushing her
To see the world further
Her heart beating fast
Her enthusiasm increasing
She slowly tried to see
With her eyes continuously blinking
Starting to lose hope
She was ready to give up
But curiosity got the upper hand
And pushed her forward
With her hope again rising
and strength in her eyesight
She is finally seeing the world
With wide open eyes

Conquering the space
-Marisha Nath VIII-C
ldquoThere is no failure in Science it is only continual
effort to conquer the unknown On the way even if we
face failure it rather adds more value to our effort for
our next journey to know the unknownrdquo
Chandrayan-2 Indiarsquos Moon Mission The dream of
entire India to land on moon and become the 4th Na-
tion in the world to put its flag on the soil of moon
after USSR USA amp China
ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launched
Chandrayan-2 on 22nd July 2019 from Bengaluru
(Satish Dhawan Space Center) under the command of
ISRO chief K Shivan It consists of ORBITER
LANDER amp Lunar Rover PRAGYAN Like Chandra-
yan-1(22nd Oct2008) it was Indiarsquos indigenous moon
mission
It touched the Moon Surface on Saturday early morn-
ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-
ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-
ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of
moon it lost contact with the ground station Because
of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be
monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m
(approx) away from its assigned location near
SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still
orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange
signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it
The ORBITER which will remain active for another
12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-
owed portion of the moon for the first time in history
with the help of its high-resolution camera
The entire Nation irrespective of their field of
knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front
of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of
VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true
Indians who always dream progress and development
of their motherland But our heart never accepts this
as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement
for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-
pose of our mission
But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at
this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring
country quoting this as a big failure on part of India
blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos
money on this
Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will
be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to
this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other
nations on such missions
Further I should say that India is not new in the field
of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-
TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975
It was named after famous scientist of ancient India
ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested
for the first time the HELIOCENTRIC THEORY
(Sun at the center and all planets revolve around the
Sun) of the Solar System much earlier than ready for
New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 57
COPERNICUS as believed in the western world
Other countries might have moon on their flags but
we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is
great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are
whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-
rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is
only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the
unknown and its continual application for the benefit
of the mankind)rdquo
Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by
various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-
PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-
cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958
onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as
46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was
attempted out of which only 21 was successful
Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-
tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the
overall attempts conducted by other Nations
USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-
NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was
planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January
SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR
successfully on moon
NASA after many attempts was successful to send
first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th
July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk
on moon
Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-
clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-
SION MANGAL for our next moon mission

The kind Fairies -Aditys Patil VIII-E
This story starts with two beautiful babies in a king-
dom called fairyland The babies were very pretty
Their names were Ovi and Riddhi They were growing
pretty well As they grew they became more and
more pretty Over and over they were also fairies and
within 5 years they became young girls Their mother
told them to go to school The girls askedwhere are
the schools There are no schools here Mother said
dont worry you will go to the planet Earth On the
planet Earth there is a very good school named New
Horizon Public School and the short form is nhps We
said ok On the first day of our school we were very
afraid but after a few days we
became more smart than the
others We were getting a lot of
prizes which we shared with
eveyone in the school This
made us and others happy One day We became the
princess of fairyland Our wings were like a rainbow
We were twins and had very long hairs Now I end
my story with a beautiful quote
ALWAYS HELP EACH OTHER LIKE THE
FARIES BECAUSE HELPING PEOPLE IS THE
PATH TO GOD
The Day Irsquoll Never Forget - Saranya Sarangi VII -
It was a day of love and affection
There was no visible sign of caution
But something unfortunate was going to happen
Nobody knew where and when
There was a blast at half past three
In a beauty land called Paradise On Earth
A complete silence and pity hadnrsquot the thee
Perished laid the martyrs
Whom our motherland gave birth
I still remember that scaring sight
The scattered limbs I couldnrsquot see
My heart got filled with grief and fright
No Indian could glee
Terribly writhing the soldiers were seen
Some families languished and some
were crying
So loyal to their country they had been
None of their families were mollifying
Whatever homage to our martyrs we pay
Tiny before their they lay
Salute to their tribute to motherland
To protect us they always walked hand in hand

With two wings to fly
I never disturb you
I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom
O human Then why do you steal my FREEDOM
Binding me alone in the cage makes me sad
Donrsquot you know caging a bird is bad
Looking at the sky
I wish I could fly
I never disturb you
I live peacefully in my beautiful kingdom
O human Then why do you steal my
FREEDOM

Summers in India - Saranya Sarangi VIII
A hot season beginning from April till May is what we
call summer And thatrsquos the basic rule in India But
thatrsquos not something through which we can define
summers in our country India The sun shining high
above the head increasing the heat and this scorching
heat is something very unique about summers in India
Those ice-lolly stalls roaming down the streets tin-
kling their tiny bells is something special one will nev-
er find in any other country Many people love this
season
Especially the children as they get to eat ice-creams
Many people even donrsquot As they feel that this season
can only make a person dehydrated exhausted and irri-
tated Summer as we think as an unfruitful season is
contrast in reality Schools conduct summer camps
during vacation where stu-
dents can join different aca-
demic and co-curricular
courses to improve them-
selves Many children even spend time with their fami-
lies
Often families plan trips to different places as they get
a very long vacation during this season But now-a-
days due to increasing heat these pleasant summers
are becoming unbearable Every just sweat and sweat
We get a lethargic feeling not ready to do any work
Due to this heat we continually keep the ACs on which
consume a lot of electricity creating trouble for our
mother Earth and us Gradually that charm of the
unique kind of summers will be lost if precautions are
not taken We must really hope and work hard to bring
back our lovely lsquoSummers in Indiarsquo
Exams are good or bad
- Nupoor Teli VIIIndashI
In my humble opinionexams are apressure on the stu-
dents They are forced to study and score good
markswhich can lead to frustration An environmentof
competitivenessof standing first is created for which
students keep on studying day and night without any
recreation It is good to studybut not just for the sake
of gaining marks
Why do we study What is the main intention behind
education Seeking intersresting and fascinating
knowledge as well as facts about the world But now-a
-daysthe main reason for studying is gaining marks If
there are no marksno career andno success This is the
mindset of 70 people of the worldespecially parents
They pressurize their children so much that they get
depressed or sometimes attempt suicide as well
Every two months an exam is conducted Moreo-
verthere are projectssubject-enrichment activi-
tieschapter test sfter every topicnotebookfile submis
sion etcAnd as acherry on top
of the cakewe have the semes-
ter exams of eighty marks as
well What all will the students
do And even if any extra-
curricular activities are being learntthen more extra
studies Just studystudy and study
Why so much of tension on the children Under this
tension only they start cheating As time passes cheat-
ing becomes a habit of their life
I fell that exams should be conducted once a term in
order to evaluate whether the students are clear with
the concepts or notThey shouldnt be pressurized for
their marksbut should be made understand their mis-
takes Let them choose their own career options on
their own Help them knowwhat they like to study and
what they want to do in their life So dont pressurize
students for what they dont likeand encourage them in
what they do After allthey are only the Rising stars of
the country

Life is magical - Piyush Sahoo VII-H
A new day or a new night
Everything in life seems bright
A new morning or a new evening
Life is full of happening
A life is just like a kite
It may disappear in a sight
Life moves from baby to old
Make your life challenging and bold
Enjoy life the fullest
Never accept less than best
Unlikely life comes to an end
But remember never to bend
Happy sadness victory and loss
Accept it the way it comes
Life can be at times tragical
But make it the most beautiful
Life is magicalhellip
Life is so magicalhellip
Humility -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
Humility is having a heart to treat others with respect
and love Considering people worthy of your love
time and efforts regardless of who they are or what
they have done A person is truly humble when they
are willing to work hard for others expecting nothing
in return
Humility has the power to change a personrsquos perspec-
tive towards life It can make a difference in the way a
person is looked upon by others Doing an act of hum-
bleness can make a personrsquos day Humility is about
not having an ego or considering things below your
dignity or considering yourself greater than others
People often confuse humility with self-respect They
canrsquot make out the difference between being useful to
others and being used by others
It takes courage to be humble
because in the era in which we
live humility is looked upon as
weakness People assume yoursquore not strong enough to
stand up for yourself They think you surrender in-
stead of protesting They will despise and scorn you
but they donrsquot know that you take pleasure in what
you do because they havenrsquot experienced that kind of
joy
So if you do have humility donrsquot draw back from it
because of what others think Whatever you are doing
is for the good of others and you have no need to be
ashamed of that Humbleness will spread from person
to person Who knows maybe your one act of humili-
ty will spread on to help a person in need So be brave
be humble
Mom -Tanvi Sawant VII-C
Oh mom I came to this beautiful world just because
of youhellip
Mom what would I do without you
Oh mom there are thorns on the way
But you manage to get me awayhellip
Oh mom I canrsquot say how much yoursquore to me
Mom just promise me that yoursquoll and
always be with mehellip
Oh mom this world is incomplete
without you
Just like the sky without itrsquos bright color bluehellip
Oh mom yoursquore the candle that showed the way in the
dark
My dear mom you made my life spark

I am the EARTH - Deepashikha P VII F
Hello I am the Earth
For me I am the sweetest heart
I provide you with lots of stuff
With food and the mangoes that you love
I give you water soil and Sun
I am special as I am just one
But the humans living on me
Are making me dirty
They are cutting all the trees
And killing all the species helliphellip
They filling me with smoke and death
They are killing themselves
with lack of breath
I am the Earth
I am your mother
Make me the best by pol-
luting me less and less
And preventing my green dress
You can save water
you plant a tree
Make a better home for you on me
Recycle things donrsquot throw them awayhellip

OUR FUTURE EARTH - Hiya Purswani VIII-B
We all know the present condition of our environment
around us Inspite of advanced and modern technolo-
gy we humans are still not able to find a solution
Early humans neither they had much technology nor
they had enough intelligence but still in the early ages
the environment was clean making it the reason for
the increasing life span of humans Its a shocking
news to know that the amount of plastic bottles pro-
duced now may lead to increase in plastic pollution
and cause several death Its a great opportunity to be
as a human in this beautiful earth and so its our re-
sponsibility to make it clean In monsoon people cut
down trees to prevent accidents to occur but do we
plant trees in summer to prevent more global warm-
ing We can prevent bad things to happen but not can-
not take that much effort for good things to spread
Have you ever wondered while seeing a tap open how
many taps are left open at the same time in the whole
world It might sound unbelievable there can be a
World War III on water land and fresh air The way
we are thinking about the wastage of water may lead
us to a massive pain Itrsquos truly said by Warren Buffet
sometimes to buy things we need we have to sell
things we do not need This happens in the case of
lacking of intelligence We say every scholar is a true
genius but in my
opinion a person is
genius if he has the
ability to save and
change things in his
own way We all have the ability to save this earth
but our thoughts our ego and our greediness is stop-
ping us to think in a better way Everyone has a good
and a bad side in his life What matters is the part we
choose to act upon This is an excellent thought said
by Sirius Black in the movie Harry Potter Itrsquos time to
bring a change We always have time to do good
things all we need is hope Spreading awareness is the
best idea to bring a change If everyone stops thinking
about their economical needs and start contributing
towards the environment by planting more trees cer-
tainly there will be a beneficial change in this world
Neither do we think about the future nor care about
the present Why not be an optimist and think in a
positive way of life Our studies our needs our
knowledge will not help us in any way if we donʼt
change Its not that easy to plant a tree and care for it a
whole year if we only plant it with all our love nature
is certainly going to care for it Lastly I would like to
end with a quoterdquo Come forth in the light of things
nature will be your teacher
The Small Hours Pranjal Anil Chavan V-C
No more my little song Come back
And now of nights I lay my head on down
to watch the black
And wait the unfailing gray
Oh Sad are winter nights and slow
And sad is a song thatrsquos dumb
And sad it is to lie I know
Another dawn will come

Floods and Destruction
- Nirvi Soni IV-H
India faces occurrence of floods each year in some
parts of Assam during the rainy season Water of river
Brahmaputra rises and enters into many villages
causing great destruction Floods are unavoidable but
we need to take precautions in the following ways by
reducing mining activities building dams growing
more trees etc During floods the weather becomes
wet and gloomy Trees and plants get uprooted This
way floods cause great de-
struction to both life and
property It also becomes dif-
ficult to travel from place to
place Many people are left
homeless The rain water should be harvested and
stored in large storage tanks The harvested rainwater
can be used for washing clothes and cleaning By us-
ing rain water in our daily life we can preserve water
resources
Good Morning Everyone -Vyomi ThakkarVI - H
Come with me wersquoll have some fun
Wersquoll go on a walk
Donrsquot worry will have a great talk
Roaming around the ground
With beautiful birdrsquos sound
We donrsquot know if anything will be found
Wersquoll surely find the crown
Up on the chilled mountain
We saw a beautiful fountain
Surrounded by a beautiful castle
Decorated with the colourful tassel
Just be quiet and keen
Soon you will be the queen
Think before you speak
-Shravya Atreya IX-D
Think before you speak
There are hearts you must please
Think before you speak
You canrsquot undo the harm done after you squeak
Think before you speak
You might have done greater harm than you might
think
Think before you speak
There are still places left for you
to seek
Think before you speak
There is a long way to go before
you sleep
Think before you speak
There are hearts you must
please
Sunrise -Anuradha Singh VII-H
Over the glimmering purple sea
Under the golden sun rise

staring at his own in the
enamelled sea
Everything is fine
With fading stars and rising light

GLOBAL WARMING - Adhyant Singh VII-F
Global warming refers to the steady rise in the Earthrsquos mean temperature The effect of global
warming had come into sight when polar ice caps started melting this phenomena is called ICE ndash
ALBEDO the ice caps melt faster due to the rise in the temperature This sudden rise in the temperature near
the poles began in 1999 The polar ice caps in Antarctica melt at the rate of 400000000000 tons per year ac-
cording to some scientists it would approximately take 5000 years to melt the total ice on earth In 2013 Inter-
governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) stated that the main cause of Global warming is human inter-
vention like emission of Green house gases like Carbon-Di-Oxide nitrous oxide and methane
These gases trap the heat which is reflected by the Earthrsquos surface thus increasing the temperature and also
destroying the ozone layer which prevents the ultraviolet rays of the sun from reaching the earthrsquos surface Al-
so burning fossil fuel contributes to the problem Effects of global warming have also led to the increase in the
sea level and extreme weather like heat waves and change in the regional pattern of precipitation and the ex-
pansion of desserts A concentrated and focused effort by the entire humanity can curb down the impact of
Global warming and also prevent it Planting more trees to control the amount of carbon-di-oxide eliminating
the use of chlorofluorocarbon or (CFCrsquoS) are a few steps All the countries have signed up with the United Na-
tions Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to prevent the doomsday of Earth So to prevent
earthrsquos doomsday we all must work together
Itrsquos not too late there is still timehellipBefore the earth ends and we whinehellipSo keep on marching and planting
greens To end Global Warming and Make our planet greenhellip
What will happen without Instagram

I was hearing it from everyone
I asked who was the inventor
Nobody knew the answer to my question
Mobiles Mobiles Mobiles

I asked who was the inventor
Again nobody was aware
I wondered why was it like so
Why is it they donrsquot know
There was one time we were
engrossed in books
Now we care more about our looks
Instagram wonrsquot give you a job
You will have to study and top
Your fellow followers wonrsquot help either
If you donrsquot have a job no one will bother

The Night - Matangi Rajesh VII-D
Its the night
The moon is white
When we switch off the light
What a beautiful sight
After this comes the sun bright
There is no more artificial light
This is the time to start your diet
To go for a run wearing tights
Then comes the evening when
you have snacks light
And fly a big colorful kite
or include your sibling in a pillow fight
Again comes the night
A moon which is white
We switch off the light
A beautiful sight

Hyperloop -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
Human inventions have baffled the world They are
innumerable ranging from revolutionizing
smartphones to not-so-breathtaking ice cream cones
but they play a role in our life just the same The
things which are commonplace to us now were unbe-
knownst to people once upon a time For the people of
the 19th century the car was a thing of the future until
in 1885 Karl Benz ran his first car on the road Then
for centuries people took the prospect of of flying like
the birds as only a wild possibility which was made
possible in 1903 when the Wright Brothers flew the
first plane
What is the thing of the future for us Well we are the
future modifying and bettering the things that have
been made and crating stuff that we didnt even dare
to imagine about The Hyperloop fulfills both aspects
of the definition a very advanced model of our faith-
ful train and yet a brand new idea to scale greater
heights The Hyperloop is an ideal mode of efficient
transport Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane
with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing
speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt have to
ace the two types of friction that every other vehicle
has to face Air resistance and ground friction The
pods of the Hyperloop are propelled through a depres-
surized tub Since it is almost vacuum very little air
resistance can be offered inside the tube Due to this
the energy required to travel is also very less The Hy-
perloops unique technology uses magnetic levitation
to guide and lift the pods of the rail Since the pod is
not in contact with the ground there is no friction act-
ing on itThe first Hyperloop ndash virgin Hyperloop one
is set to run with passengers as early as 2021 and is
created by SpaceX and Tesla
The mastermind behind the Hyperloop is Elon Musk
who first published a 58 page white-paper on the web-
site of his company-Space X It was available to all
and was titled Hyperloop alpha The Hyperloop may
be the pioneer of a whole new era of transportation
traveling a distance which would otherwise take 12
hours in just I hour it has crossed all known bounda-
ries and created higher limits for us to reach and reach
we must for when time is money and money is time
an option that saves both needs to be used
Exams are good or bad -Nupoor Teli VIII
In my humble opinion exams are pressure on the stu-
dents They are forced to study and score good marks
which can lead to frustration An environment of com-
petitiveness of standing first is created for which stu-
dents keep on studying day and night without any rec-
reation It is good to study but not just for the sake of
gaining marks
Why do we study What is the main intention behind
education Seeking interesting and fascinating
knowledge as well as facts about the world But now-a
-days the main reason for studying is gaining marks
If there are no marks no career and no success This
is the mindset of 70 people of the world especially
parents They pressurize their children so much that
they get depressed or sometimes attempt suicide as
wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-
ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities
chapter test after every topic notebookfile submis-
sion etc And as cherry on top of the cake we have the
semester exams of eighty marks as well What all will
the students do And even if any extra-curricular ac-
tivities are being learnt then more extra studies Just
study study and study
Why so much of tension on the children Under this
tension only they start cheating As time passes cheat-
ing becomes a habit of their lifeI fell that exams
should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate
whether the students are clear with the concepts or
not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but
should be made understand their mistakes Let them
choose their own career options on their own Help
them know what they like to study and what they want
to do in their life So dont pressurize students for
what they dont like and encourage them in what they
do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the
country

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B
Life is all about interactions You meet people and
you interact You observe them consciously or sub-
consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us
more than we even realise Some people leave a last-
ing impression on us and entirely change the course of
life for better or for worse Some people influence us
help us go further and make all the difference
I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-
tial people They have taken care of me ever since I
came into this world They are the ones who wish the
best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-
cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel
no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-
come a part of my personality They are the ones who
helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me
to be better
When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are
the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-
takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique
learning experience It has made me realise how eve-
rything they do has a reason They are the ones who
have taught me the importance of the little things in
life They are the ones who have helped me recognize
and follow my passion The very thought of them not
being a part of my life is scary to the least as without
them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am
today and whatever I have achieved is all because of
them and I am very grateful of that
Eyesight
-Aditi Shenoy VIII-F
The tired little girl went to bed
Recollecting the days bygone
Seeing them in her dreams
As the day she was born
Trying to see the world
With her little eyes
But the sun with his brightness
Wouldnt let her catch the sights
The girl still eager
And curious to see the world around her
Again opened her eyes
But her vision was blurred
Still she did not lose hope
Which flowed through her blood
Encouraging and pushing her
To see the world further
Her heart beating fast
Her enthusiasm increasing
She slowly tried to see
With her eyes continuously blinking
Starting to lose hope
She was ready to give up
But curiosity got the upper hand
And pushed her forward
With her hope again rising
and strength in her eyesight
She is finally seeing the world
With wide open eyes

Conquering the space
-Marisha Nath VIII-C
ldquoThere is no failure in Science it is only continual
effort to conquer the unknown On the way even if we
face failure it rather adds more value to our effort for
our next journey to know the unknownrdquo
Chandrayan-2 Indiarsquos Moon Mission The dream of
entire India to land on moon and become the 4th Na-
tion in the world to put its flag on the soil of moon
after USSR USA amp China
ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launched
Chandrayan-2 on 22nd July 2019 from Bengaluru
(Satish Dhawan Space Center) under the command of
ISRO chief K Shivan It consists of ORBITER
LANDER amp Lunar Rover PRAGYAN Like Chandra-
yan-1(22nd Oct2008) it was Indiarsquos indigenous moon
mission
It touched the Moon Surface on Saturday early morn-
ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-
ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-
ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of
moon it lost contact with the ground station Because
of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be
monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m
(approx) away from its assigned location near
SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still
orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange
signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it
The ORBITER which will remain active for another
12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-
owed portion of the moon for the first time in history
with the help of its high-resolution camera
The entire Nation irrespective of their field of
knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front
of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of
VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true
Indians who always dream progress and development
of their motherland But our heart never accepts this
as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement
for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-
pose of our mission
But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at
this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring
country quoting this as a big failure on part of India
blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos
money on this
Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will
be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to
this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other
nations on such missions
Further I should say that India is not new in the field
of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-
TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975
It was named after famous scientist of ancient India
ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested
for the first time the HELIOCENTRIC THEORY
(Sun at the center and all planets revolve around the
Sun) of the Solar System much earlier than ready for
New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 57
COPERNICUS as believed in the western world
Other countries might have moon on their flags but
we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is
great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are
whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-
rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is
only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the
unknown and its continual application for the benefit
of the mankind)rdquo
Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by
various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-
PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-
cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958
onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as
46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was
attempted out of which only 21 was successful
Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-
tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the
overall attempts conducted by other Nations
USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-
NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was
planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January
SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR
successfully on moon
NASA after many attempts was successful to send
first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th
July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk
on moon
Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-
clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-
SION MANGAL for our next moon mission

call summer And thatrsquos the basic rule in India But
thatrsquos not something through which we can define
summers in our country India The sun shining high
above the head increasing the heat and this scorching
heat is something very unique about summers in India
Those ice-lolly stalls roaming down the streets tin-
kling their tiny bells is something special one will nev-
er find in any other country Many people love this
season
Especially the children as they get to eat ice-creams
Many people even donrsquot As they feel that this season
can only make a person dehydrated exhausted and irri-
tated Summer as we think as an unfruitful season is
contrast in reality Schools conduct summer camps
during vacation where stu-
dents can join different aca-
demic and co-curricular
courses to improve them-
selves Many children even spend time with their fami-
lies
Often families plan trips to different places as they get
a very long vacation during this season But now-a-
days due to increasing heat these pleasant summers
are becoming unbearable Every just sweat and sweat
We get a lethargic feeling not ready to do any work
Due to this heat we continually keep the ACs on which
consume a lot of electricity creating trouble for our
mother Earth and us Gradually that charm of the
unique kind of summers will be lost if precautions are
not taken We must really hope and work hard to bring
back our lovely lsquoSummers in Indiarsquo
Exams are good or bad
- Nupoor Teli VIIIndashI
In my humble opinionexams are apressure on the stu-
dents They are forced to study and score good
markswhich can lead to frustration An environmentof
competitivenessof standing first is created for which
students keep on studying day and night without any
recreation It is good to studybut not just for the sake
of gaining marks
Why do we study What is the main intention behind
education Seeking intersresting and fascinating
knowledge as well as facts about the world But now-a
-daysthe main reason for studying is gaining marks If
there are no marksno career andno success This is the
mindset of 70 people of the worldespecially parents
They pressurize their children so much that they get
depressed or sometimes attempt suicide as well
Every two months an exam is conducted Moreo-
verthere are projectssubject-enrichment activi-
tieschapter test sfter every topicnotebookfile submis
sion etcAnd as acherry on top
of the cakewe have the semes-
ter exams of eighty marks as
well What all will the students
do And even if any extra-
curricular activities are being learntthen more extra
studies Just studystudy and study
Why so much of tension on the children Under this
tension only they start cheating As time passes cheat-
ing becomes a habit of their life
I fell that exams should be conducted once a term in
order to evaluate whether the students are clear with
the concepts or notThey shouldnt be pressurized for
their marksbut should be made understand their mis-
takes Let them choose their own career options on
their own Help them knowwhat they like to study and
what they want to do in their life So dont pressurize
students for what they dont likeand encourage them in
what they do After allthey are only the Rising stars of
the country

Life is magical - Piyush Sahoo VII-H
A new day or a new night
Everything in life seems bright
A new morning or a new evening
Life is full of happening
A life is just like a kite
It may disappear in a sight
Life moves from baby to old
Make your life challenging and bold
Enjoy life the fullest
Never accept less than best
Unlikely life comes to an end
But remember never to bend
Happy sadness victory and loss
Accept it the way it comes
Life can be at times tragical
But make it the most beautiful
Life is magicalhellip
Life is so magicalhellip
Humility -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
Humility is having a heart to treat others with respect
and love Considering people worthy of your love
time and efforts regardless of who they are or what
they have done A person is truly humble when they
are willing to work hard for others expecting nothing
in return
Humility has the power to change a personrsquos perspec-
tive towards life It can make a difference in the way a
person is looked upon by others Doing an act of hum-
bleness can make a personrsquos day Humility is about
not having an ego or considering things below your
dignity or considering yourself greater than others
People often confuse humility with self-respect They
canrsquot make out the difference between being useful to
others and being used by others
It takes courage to be humble
because in the era in which we
live humility is looked upon as
weakness People assume yoursquore not strong enough to
stand up for yourself They think you surrender in-
stead of protesting They will despise and scorn you
but they donrsquot know that you take pleasure in what
you do because they havenrsquot experienced that kind of
joy
So if you do have humility donrsquot draw back from it
because of what others think Whatever you are doing
is for the good of others and you have no need to be
ashamed of that Humbleness will spread from person
to person Who knows maybe your one act of humili-
ty will spread on to help a person in need So be brave
be humble
Mom -Tanvi Sawant VII-C
Oh mom I came to this beautiful world just because
of youhellip
Mom what would I do without you
Oh mom there are thorns on the way
But you manage to get me awayhellip
Oh mom I canrsquot say how much yoursquore to me
Mom just promise me that yoursquoll and
always be with mehellip
Oh mom this world is incomplete
without you
Just like the sky without itrsquos bright color bluehellip
Oh mom yoursquore the candle that showed the way in the
dark
My dear mom you made my life spark

I am the EARTH - Deepashikha P VII F
Hello I am the Earth
For me I am the sweetest heart
I provide you with lots of stuff
With food and the mangoes that you love
I give you water soil and Sun
I am special as I am just one
But the humans living on me
Are making me dirty
They are cutting all the trees
And killing all the species helliphellip
They filling me with smoke and death
They are killing themselves
with lack of breath
I am the Earth
I am your mother
Make me the best by pol-
luting me less and less
And preventing my green dress
You can save water
you plant a tree
Make a better home for you on me
Recycle things donrsquot throw them awayhellip
MAKE EVERY DAY AN EARTH

OUR FUTURE EARTH - Hiya Purswani VIII-B
We all know the present condition of our environment
around us Inspite of advanced and modern technolo-
gy we humans are still not able to find a solution
Early humans neither they had much technology nor
they had enough intelligence but still in the early ages
the environment was clean making it the reason for
the increasing life span of humans Its a shocking
news to know that the amount of plastic bottles pro-
duced now may lead to increase in plastic pollution
and cause several death Its a great opportunity to be
as a human in this beautiful earth and so its our re-
sponsibility to make it clean In monsoon people cut
down trees to prevent accidents to occur but do we
plant trees in summer to prevent more global warm-
ing We can prevent bad things to happen but not can-
not take that much effort for good things to spread
Have you ever wondered while seeing a tap open how
many taps are left open at the same time in the whole
world It might sound unbelievable there can be a
World War III on water land and fresh air The way
we are thinking about the wastage of water may lead
us to a massive pain Itrsquos truly said by Warren Buffet
sometimes to buy things we need we have to sell
things we do not need This happens in the case of
lacking of intelligence We say every scholar is a true
genius but in my
opinion a person is
genius if he has the
ability to save and
change things in his
own way We all have the ability to save this earth
but our thoughts our ego and our greediness is stop-
ping us to think in a better way Everyone has a good
and a bad side in his life What matters is the part we
choose to act upon This is an excellent thought said
by Sirius Black in the movie Harry Potter Itrsquos time to
bring a change We always have time to do good
things all we need is hope Spreading awareness is the
best idea to bring a change If everyone stops thinking
about their economical needs and start contributing
towards the environment by planting more trees cer-
tainly there will be a beneficial change in this world
Neither do we think about the future nor care about
the present Why not be an optimist and think in a
positive way of life Our studies our needs our
knowledge will not help us in any way if we donʼt
change Its not that easy to plant a tree and care for it a
whole year if we only plant it with all our love nature
is certainly going to care for it Lastly I would like to
end with a quoterdquo Come forth in the light of things
nature will be your teacher
The Small Hours Pranjal Anil Chavan V-C
No more my little song Come back
And now of nights I lay my head on down
to watch the black
And wait the unfailing gray
Oh Sad are winter nights and slow
And sad is a song thatrsquos dumb
And sad it is to lie I know
Another dawn will come

Floods and Destruction
- Nirvi Soni IV-H
India faces occurrence of floods each year in some
parts of Assam during the rainy season Water of river
Brahmaputra rises and enters into many villages
causing great destruction Floods are unavoidable but
we need to take precautions in the following ways by
reducing mining activities building dams growing
more trees etc During floods the weather becomes
wet and gloomy Trees and plants get uprooted This
way floods cause great de-
struction to both life and
property It also becomes dif-
ficult to travel from place to
place Many people are left
homeless The rain water should be harvested and
stored in large storage tanks The harvested rainwater
can be used for washing clothes and cleaning By us-
ing rain water in our daily life we can preserve water
resources
Good Morning Everyone -Vyomi ThakkarVI - H
Come with me wersquoll have some fun
Wersquoll go on a walk
Donrsquot worry will have a great talk
Roaming around the ground
With beautiful birdrsquos sound
We donrsquot know if anything will be found
Wersquoll surely find the crown
Up on the chilled mountain
We saw a beautiful fountain
Surrounded by a beautiful castle
Decorated with the colourful tassel
Just be quiet and keen
Soon you will be the queen
Think before you speak
-Shravya Atreya IX-D
Think before you speak
There are hearts you must please
Think before you speak
You canrsquot undo the harm done after you squeak
Think before you speak
You might have done greater harm than you might
think
Think before you speak
There are still places left for you
to seek
Think before you speak
There is a long way to go before
you sleep
Think before you speak
There are hearts you must
please
Sunrise -Anuradha Singh VII-H
Over the glimmering purple sea
Under the golden sun rise
The Island dreams under the dawn
And the message is carried by the wind that blows
across the bitter sea
A sparrow sways upon a tree
staring at his own in the
enamelled sea
Everything is fine
With fading stars and rising light

GLOBAL WARMING - Adhyant Singh VII-F
Global warming refers to the steady rise in the Earthrsquos mean temperature The effect of global
warming had come into sight when polar ice caps started melting this phenomena is called ICE ndash
ALBEDO the ice caps melt faster due to the rise in the temperature This sudden rise in the temperature near
the poles began in 1999 The polar ice caps in Antarctica melt at the rate of 400000000000 tons per year ac-
cording to some scientists it would approximately take 5000 years to melt the total ice on earth In 2013 Inter-
governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) stated that the main cause of Global warming is human inter-
vention like emission of Green house gases like Carbon-Di-Oxide nitrous oxide and methane
These gases trap the heat which is reflected by the Earthrsquos surface thus increasing the temperature and also
destroying the ozone layer which prevents the ultraviolet rays of the sun from reaching the earthrsquos surface Al-
so burning fossil fuel contributes to the problem Effects of global warming have also led to the increase in the
sea level and extreme weather like heat waves and change in the regional pattern of precipitation and the ex-
pansion of desserts A concentrated and focused effort by the entire humanity can curb down the impact of
Global warming and also prevent it Planting more trees to control the amount of carbon-di-oxide eliminating
the use of chlorofluorocarbon or (CFCrsquoS) are a few steps All the countries have signed up with the United Na-
tions Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to prevent the doomsday of Earth So to prevent
earthrsquos doomsday we all must work together
Itrsquos not too late there is still timehellipBefore the earth ends and we whinehellipSo keep on marching and planting
greens To end Global Warming and Make our planet greenhellip
What will happen without Instagram
- Kaavya Chaudhary VII-F
Instagram Instagram Instagram
I was hearing it from everyone
I asked who was the inventor
Nobody knew the answer to my question
Mobiles Mobiles Mobiles
I was able to see them everywhere
I asked who was the inventor
Again nobody was aware
I wondered why was it like so
Why is it they donrsquot know
There was one time we were
engrossed in books
Now we care more about our looks
Instagram wonrsquot give you a job
You will have to study and top
Your fellow followers wonrsquot help either
If you donrsquot have a job no one will bother
I am a tree
- Yashawini Pillai
I am a tree
With a dark green crown
And a thick strong trunk
Above the ground
I give you food
I give you fruits
I give you medicine
I give you wood
I need some sunlight
And some fresh air
I need some water
And your loving care

The Night - Matangi Rajesh VII-D
Its the night
The moon is white
When we switch off the light
What a beautiful sight
After this comes the sun bright
There is no more artificial light
This is the time to start your diet
To go for a run wearing tights
Then comes the evening when
you have snacks light
And fly a big colorful kite
or include your sibling in a pillow fight
Again comes the night
A moon which is white
We switch off the light
A beautiful sight

heavy duty rockets designs and fabricates some of the most sophisticated satellites In a singular achievement
Indiarsquos Mars Orbiter mission or Mangalyaan an unmanned satellite today racing to rendezvous with the red
planet making India a part of a select club of 6 that have dared to undertake the over 680 million kilometer
journey The Indian Space Research Organization ISRO is the Space Agency of Government of India head-
quartered in the city of Bengaluru Its vision is to ldquoharness space technology ldquofor na-
tional development while pursuing space science research and planter exploration
Some achievements of ISRO in 2017
Launching 104 satellites with one rocket

Launch of ISROrsquos Fat Boyrsquo
31 satellites in a single flight
Sending another communication satellite in the space
In 2009 Indians maiden mission to the moon Chandrayaan- 1 brought back the first clinching evidence of the
presence of water on the arched lunar surface In more down to the Earth missions Indian satellites are also
helping locate underground water aquifers for some of the poorest and marginal people of India In a way
Indiarsquos space technology is helping everyone

Hyperloop -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
Human inventions have baffled the world They are
innumerable ranging from revolutionizing
smartphones to not-so-breathtaking ice cream cones
but they play a role in our life just the same The
things which are commonplace to us now were unbe-
knownst to people once upon a time For the people of
the 19th century the car was a thing of the future until
in 1885 Karl Benz ran his first car on the road Then
for centuries people took the prospect of of flying like
the birds as only a wild possibility which was made
possible in 1903 when the Wright Brothers flew the
first plane
What is the thing of the future for us Well we are the
future modifying and bettering the things that have
been made and crating stuff that we didnt even dare
to imagine about The Hyperloop fulfills both aspects
of the definition a very advanced model of our faith-
ful train and yet a brand new idea to scale greater
heights The Hyperloop is an ideal mode of efficient
transport Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane
with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing
speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt have to
ace the two types of friction that every other vehicle
has to face Air resistance and ground friction The
pods of the Hyperloop are propelled through a depres-
surized tub Since it is almost vacuum very little air
resistance can be offered inside the tube Due to this
the energy required to travel is also very less The Hy-
perloops unique technology uses magnetic levitation
to guide and lift the pods of the rail Since the pod is
not in contact with the ground there is no friction act-
ing on itThe first Hyperloop ndash virgin Hyperloop one
is set to run with passengers as early as 2021 and is
created by SpaceX and Tesla
The mastermind behind the Hyperloop is Elon Musk
who first published a 58 page white-paper on the web-
site of his company-Space X It was available to all
and was titled Hyperloop alpha The Hyperloop may
be the pioneer of a whole new era of transportation
traveling a distance which would otherwise take 12
hours in just I hour it has crossed all known bounda-
ries and created higher limits for us to reach and reach
we must for when time is money and money is time
an option that saves both needs to be used
Exams are good or bad -Nupoor Teli VIII
In my humble opinion exams are pressure on the stu-
dents They are forced to study and score good marks
which can lead to frustration An environment of com-
petitiveness of standing first is created for which stu-
dents keep on studying day and night without any rec-
reation It is good to study but not just for the sake of
gaining marks
Why do we study What is the main intention behind
education Seeking interesting and fascinating
knowledge as well as facts about the world But now-a
-days the main reason for studying is gaining marks
If there are no marks no career and no success This
is the mindset of 70 people of the world especially
parents They pressurize their children so much that
they get depressed or sometimes attempt suicide as
wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-
ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities
chapter test after every topic notebookfile submis-
sion etc And as cherry on top of the cake we have the
semester exams of eighty marks as well What all will
the students do And even if any extra-curricular ac-
tivities are being learnt then more extra studies Just
study study and study
Why so much of tension on the children Under this
tension only they start cheating As time passes cheat-
ing becomes a habit of their lifeI fell that exams
should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate
whether the students are clear with the concepts or
not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but
should be made understand their mistakes Let them
choose their own career options on their own Help
them know what they like to study and what they want
to do in their life So dont pressurize students for
what they dont like and encourage them in what they
do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the
country

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B
Life is all about interactions You meet people and
you interact You observe them consciously or sub-
consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us
more than we even realise Some people leave a last-
ing impression on us and entirely change the course of
life for better or for worse Some people influence us
help us go further and make all the difference
I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-
tial people They have taken care of me ever since I
came into this world They are the ones who wish the
best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-
cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel
no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-
come a part of my personality They are the ones who
helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me
to be better
When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are
the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-
takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique
learning experience It has made me realise how eve-
rything they do has a reason They are the ones who
have taught me the importance of the little things in
life They are the ones who have helped me recognize
and follow my passion The very thought of them not
being a part of my life is scary to the least as without
them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am
today and whatever I have achieved is all because of
them and I am very grateful of that
Eyesight
-Aditi Shenoy VIII-F
The tired little girl went to bed
Recollecting the days bygone
Seeing them in her dreams
As the day she was born
Trying to see the world
With her little eyes
But the sun with his brightness
Wouldnt let her catch the sights
The girl still eager
And curious to see the world around her
Again opened her eyes
But her vision was blurred
Still she did not lose hope
Which flowed through her blood
Encouraging and pushing her
To see the world further
Her heart beating fast
Her enthusiasm increasing
She slowly tried to see
With her eyes continuously blinking
Starting to lose hope
She was ready to give up
But curiosity got the upper hand
And pushed her forward
With her hope again rising
and strength in her eyesight
She is finally seeing the world
With wide open eyes

Conquering the space
-Marisha Nath VIII-C
ldquoThere is no failure in Science it is only continual
effort to conquer the unknown On the way even if we
face failure it rather adds more value to our effort for
our next journey to know the unknownrdquo
Chandrayan-2 Indiarsquos Moon Mission The dream of
entire India to land on moon and become the 4th Na-
tion in the world to put its flag on the soil of moon
after USSR USA amp China
ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launched
Chandrayan-2 on 22nd July 2019 from Bengaluru
(Satish Dhawan Space Center) under the command of
ISRO chief K Shivan It consists of ORBITER
LANDER amp Lunar Rover PRAGYAN Like Chandra-
yan-1(22nd Oct2008) it was Indiarsquos indigenous moon
mission
It touched the Moon Surface on Saturday early morn-
ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-
ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-
ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of
moon it lost contact with the ground station Because
of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be
monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m
(approx) away from its assigned location near
SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still
orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange
signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it
The ORBITER which will remain active for another
12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-
owed portion of the moon for the first time in history
with the help of its high-resolution camera
The entire Nation irrespective of their field of
knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front
of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of
VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true
Indians who always dream progress and development
of their motherland But our heart never accepts this
as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement
for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-
pose of our mission
But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at
this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring
country quoting this as a big failure on part of India
blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos
money on this
Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will
be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to
this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other
nations on such missions
Further I should say that India is not new in the field
of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-
TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975
It was named after famous scientist of ancient India
ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested
for the first time the HELIOCENTRIC THEORY
(Sun at the center and all planets revolve around the
Sun) of the Solar System much earlier than ready for
New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 57
COPERNICUS as believed in the western world
Other countries might have moon on their flags but
we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is
great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are
whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-
rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is
only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the
unknown and its continual application for the benefit
of the mankind)rdquo
Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by
various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-
PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-
cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958
onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as
46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was
attempted out of which only 21 was successful
Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-
tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the
overall attempts conducted by other Nations
USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-
NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was
planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January
SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR
successfully on moon
NASA after many attempts was successful to send
first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th
July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk
on moon
Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-
clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-
SION MANGAL for our next moon mission

Life is magical - Piyush Sahoo VII-H
A new day or a new night
Everything in life seems bright
A new morning or a new evening
Life is full of happening
A life is just like a kite
It may disappear in a sight
Life moves from baby to old
Make your life challenging and bold
Enjoy life the fullest
Never accept less than best
Unlikely life comes to an end
But remember never to bend
Happy sadness victory and loss
Accept it the way it comes
Life can be at times tragical
But make it the most beautiful

Humility -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
Humility is having a heart to treat others with respect
and love Considering people worthy of your love
time and efforts regardless of who they are or what
they have done A person is truly humble when they
are willing to work hard for others expecting nothing
in return
Humility has the power to change a personrsquos perspec-
tive towards life It can make a difference in the way a
person is looked upon by others Doing an act of hum-
bleness can make a personrsquos day Humility is about
not having an ego or considering things below your
dignity or considering yourself greater than others
People often confuse humility with self-respect They
canrsquot make out the difference between being useful to
others and being used by others
It takes courage to be humble
because in the era in which we
live humility is looked upon as
weakness People assume yoursquore not strong enough to
stand up for yourself They think you surrender in-
stead of protesting They will despise and scorn you
but they donrsquot know that you take pleasure in what
you do because they havenrsquot experienced that kind of
joy
So if you do have humility donrsquot draw back from it
because of what others think Whatever you are doing
is for the good of others and you have no need to be
ashamed of that Humbleness will spread from person
to person Who knows maybe your one act of humili-
ty will spread on to help a person in need So be brave
be humble
Mom -Tanvi Sawant VII-C
Oh mom I came to this beautiful world just because
of youhellip
Mom what would I do without you
Oh mom there are thorns on the way
But you manage to get me awayhellip
Oh mom I canrsquot say how much yoursquore to me
Mom just promise me that yoursquoll and
always be with mehellip
Oh mom this world is incomplete
without you
Just like the sky without itrsquos bright color bluehellip
Oh mom yoursquore the candle that showed the way in the
dark
My dear mom you made my life spark

I am the EARTH - Deepashikha P VII F
Hello I am the Earth
For me I am the sweetest heart
I provide you with lots of stuff
With food and the mangoes that you love
I give you water soil and Sun
I am special as I am just one
But the humans living on me
Are making me dirty
They are cutting all the trees
And killing all the species helliphellip
They filling me with smoke and death
They are killing themselves
with lack of breath
I am the Earth
I am your mother
Make me the best by pol-
luting me less and less
And preventing my green dress
You can save water
you plant a tree
Make a better home for you on me
Recycle things donrsquot throw them awayhellip
MAKE EVERY DAY AN EARTH

OUR FUTURE EARTH - Hiya Purswani VIII-B
We all know the present condition of our environment
around us Inspite of advanced and modern technolo-
gy we humans are still not able to find a solution
Early humans neither they had much technology nor
they had enough intelligence but still in the early ages
the environment was clean making it the reason for
the increasing life span of humans Its a shocking
news to know that the amount of plastic bottles pro-
duced now may lead to increase in plastic pollution
and cause several death Its a great opportunity to be
as a human in this beautiful earth and so its our re-
sponsibility to make it clean In monsoon people cut
down trees to prevent accidents to occur but do we
plant trees in summer to prevent more global warm-
ing We can prevent bad things to happen but not can-
not take that much effort for good things to spread
Have you ever wondered while seeing a tap open how
many taps are left open at the same time in the whole
world It might sound unbelievable there can be a
World War III on water land and fresh air The way
we are thinking about the wastage of water may lead
us to a massive pain Itrsquos truly said by Warren Buffet
sometimes to buy things we need we have to sell
things we do not need This happens in the case of
lacking of intelligence We say every scholar is a true
genius but in my
opinion a person is
genius if he has the
ability to save and
change things in his
own way We all have the ability to save this earth
but our thoughts our ego and our greediness is stop-
ping us to think in a better way Everyone has a good
and a bad side in his life What matters is the part we
choose to act upon This is an excellent thought said
by Sirius Black in the movie Harry Potter Itrsquos time to
bring a change We always have time to do good
things all we need is hope Spreading awareness is the
best idea to bring a change If everyone stops thinking
about their economical needs and start contributing
towards the environment by planting more trees cer-
tainly there will be a beneficial change in this world
Neither do we think about the future nor care about
the present Why not be an optimist and think in a
positive way of life Our studies our needs our
knowledge will not help us in any way if we donʼt
change Its not that easy to plant a tree and care for it a
whole year if we only plant it with all our love nature
is certainly going to care for it Lastly I would like to
end with a quoterdquo Come forth in the light of things
nature will be your teacher
The Small Hours Pranjal Anil Chavan V-C
No more my little song Come back
And now of nights I lay my head on down
to watch the black
And wait the unfailing gray
Oh Sad are winter nights and slow
And sad is a song thatrsquos dumb
And sad it is to lie I know
Another dawn will come

Floods and Destruction
- Nirvi Soni IV-H
India faces occurrence of floods each year in some
parts of Assam during the rainy season Water of river
Brahmaputra rises and enters into many villages
causing great destruction Floods are unavoidable but
we need to take precautions in the following ways by
reducing mining activities building dams growing
more trees etc During floods the weather becomes
wet and gloomy Trees and plants get uprooted This
way floods cause great de-
struction to both life and
property It also becomes dif-
ficult to travel from place to
place Many people are left
homeless The rain water should be harvested and
stored in large storage tanks The harvested rainwater
can be used for washing clothes and cleaning By us-
ing rain water in our daily life we can preserve water
resources
Good Morning Everyone -Vyomi ThakkarVI - H
Come with me wersquoll have some fun
Wersquoll go on a walk
Donrsquot worry will have a great talk
Roaming around the ground
With beautiful birdrsquos sound
We donrsquot know if anything will be found
Wersquoll surely find the crown
Up on the chilled mountain
We saw a beautiful fountain
Surrounded by a beautiful castle
Decorated with the colourful tassel
Just be quiet and keen
Soon you will be the queen
Think before you speak
-Shravya Atreya IX-D
Think before you speak
There are hearts you must please
Think before you speak
You canrsquot undo the harm done after you squeak
Think before you speak
You might have done greater harm than you might
think
Think before you speak
There are still places left for you
to seek
Think before you speak
There is a long way to go before
you sleep
Think before you speak
There are hearts you must
please
Sunrise -Anuradha Singh VII-H
Over the glimmering purple sea
Under the golden sun rise

staring at his own in the
enamelled sea
Everything is fine
With fading stars and rising light

GLOBAL WARMING - Adhyant Singh VII-F
Global warming refers to the steady rise in the Earthrsquos mean temperature The effect of global
warming had come into sight when polar ice caps started melting this phenomena is called ICE ndash
ALBEDO the ice caps melt faster due to the rise in the temperature This sudden rise in the temperature near
the poles began in 1999 The polar ice caps in Antarctica melt at the rate of 400000000000 tons per year ac-
cording to some scientists it would approximately take 5000 years to melt the total ice on earth In 2013 Inter-
governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) stated that the main cause of Global warming is human inter-
vention like emission of Green house gases like Carbon-Di-Oxide nitrous oxide and methane
These gases trap the heat which is reflected by the Earthrsquos surface thus increasing the temperature and also
destroying the ozone layer which prevents the ultraviolet rays of the sun from reaching the earthrsquos surface Al-
so burning fossil fuel contributes to the problem Effects of global warming have also led to the increase in the
sea level and extreme weather like heat waves and change in the regional pattern of precipitation and the ex-
pansion of desserts A concentrated and focused effort by the entire humanity can curb down the impact of
Global warming and also prevent it Planting more trees to control the amount of carbon-di-oxide eliminating
the use of chlorofluorocarbon or (CFCrsquoS) are a few steps All the countries have signed up with the United Na-
tions Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to prevent the doomsday of Earth So to prevent
earthrsquos doomsday we all must work together
Itrsquos not too late there is still timehellipBefore the earth ends and we whinehellipSo keep on marching and planting
greens To end Global Warming and Make our planet greenhellip
What will happen without Instagram

Instagram Instagram Instagram
I was hearing it from everyone
I asked who was the inventor
Nobody knew the answer to my question
Mobiles Mobiles Mobiles

I asked who was the inventor
Again nobody was aware
I wondered why was it like so
Why is it they donrsquot know
There was one time we were
engrossed in books
Now we care more about our looks
Instagram wonrsquot give you a job
You will have to study and top
Your fellow followers wonrsquot help either
If you donrsquot have a job no one will bother
I am a tree
- Yashawini Pillai

I give you food
I give you fruits
I give you medicine
I give you wood
I need some sunlight
And some fresh air
I need some water
And your loving care

The Night - Matangi Rajesh VII-D
Its the night
The moon is white
When we switch off the light
What a beautiful sight
After this comes the sun bright
There is no more artificial light
This is the time to start your diet
To go for a run wearing tights
Then comes the evening when
you have snacks light
And fly a big colorful kite
or include your sibling in a pillow fight
Again comes the night
A moon which is white
We switch off the light
A beautiful sight

Hyperloop -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
Human inventions have baffled the world They are
innumerable ranging from revolutionizing
smartphones to not-so-breathtaking ice cream cones
but they play a role in our life just the same The
things which are commonplace to us now were unbe-
knownst to people once upon a time For the people of
the 19th century the car was a thing of the future until
in 1885 Karl Benz ran his first car on the road Then
for centuries people took the prospect of of flying like
the birds as only a wild possibility which was made
possible in 1903 when the Wright Brothers flew the
first plane
What is the thing of the future for us Well we are the
future modifying and bettering the things that have
been made and crating stuff that we didnt even dare
to imagine about The Hyperloop fulfills both aspects
of the definition a very advanced model of our faith-
ful train and yet a brand new idea to scale greater
heights The Hyperloop is an ideal mode of efficient
transport Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane
with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing
speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt have to
ace the two types of friction that every other vehicle
has to face Air resistance and ground friction The
pods of the Hyperloop are propelled through a depres-
surized tub Since it is almost vacuum very little air
resistance can be offered inside the tube Due to this
the energy required to travel is also very less The Hy-
perloops unique technology uses magnetic levitation
to guide and lift the pods of the rail Since the pod is
not in contact with the ground there is no friction act-
ing on itThe first Hyperloop ndash virgin Hyperloop one
is set to run with passengers as early as 2021 and is
created by SpaceX and Tesla
The mastermind behind the Hyperloop is Elon Musk
who first published a 58 page white-paper on the web-
site of his company-Space X It was available to all
and was titled Hyperloop alpha The Hyperloop may
be the pioneer of a whole new era of transportation
traveling a distance which would otherwise take 12
hours in just I hour it has crossed all known bounda-
ries and created higher limits for us to reach and reach
we must for when time is money and money is time
an option that saves both needs to be used
Exams are good or bad -Nupoor Teli VIII
In my humble opinion exams are pressure on the stu-
dents They are forced to study and score good marks
which can lead to frustration An environment of com-
petitiveness of standing first is created for which stu-
dents keep on studying day and night without any rec-
reation It is good to study but not just for the sake of
gaining marks
Why do we study What is the main intention behind
education Seeking interesting and fascinating
knowledge as well as facts about the world But now-a
-days the main reason for studying is gaining marks
If there are no marks no career and no success This
is the mindset of 70 people of the world especially
parents They pressurize their children so much that
they get depressed or sometimes attempt suicide as
wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-
ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities
chapter test after every topic notebookfile submis-
sion etc And as cherry on top of the cake we have the
semester exams of eighty marks as well What all will
the students do And even if any extra-curricular ac-
tivities are being learnt then more extra studies Just
study study and study
Why so much of tension on the children Under this
tension only they start cheating As time passes cheat-
ing becomes a habit of their lifeI fell that exams
should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate
whether the students are clear with the concepts or
not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but
should be made understand their mistakes Let them
choose their own career options on their own Help
them know what they like to study and what they want
to do in their life So dont pressurize students for
what they dont like and encourage them in what they
do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the
country

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B
Life is all about interactions You meet people and
you interact You observe them consciously or sub-
consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us
more than we even realise Some people leave a last-
ing impression on us and entirely change the course of
life for better or for worse Some people influence us
help us go further and make all the difference
I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-
tial people They have taken care of me ever since I
came into this world They are the ones who wish the
best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-
cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel
no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-
come a part of my personality They are the ones who
helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me
to be better
When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are
the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-
takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique
learning experience It has made me realise how eve-
rything they do has a reason They are the ones who
have taught me the importance of the little things in
life They are the ones who have helped me recognize
and follow my passion The very thought of them not
being a part of my life is scary to the least as without
them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am
today and whatever I have achieved is all because of
them and I am very grateful of that
Eyesight
-Aditi Shenoy VIII-F
The tired little girl went to bed
Recollecting the days bygone
Seeing them in her dreams
As the day she was born
Trying to see the world
With her little eyes
But the sun with his brightness
Wouldnt let her catch the sights
The girl still eager
And curious to see the world around her
Again opened her eyes
But her vision was blurred
Still she did not lose hope
Which flowed through her blood
Encouraging and pushing her
To see the world further
Her heart beating fast
Her enthusiasm increasing
She slowly tried to see
With her eyes continuously blinking
Starting to lose hope
She was ready to give up
But curiosity got the upper hand
And pushed her forward
With her hope again rising
and strength in her eyesight
She is finally seeing the world
With wide open eyes

Conquering the space
-Marisha Nath VIII-C
ldquoThere is no failure in Science it is only continual
effort to conquer the unknown On the way even if we
face failure it rather adds more value to our effort for
our next journey to know the unknownrdquo
Chandrayan-2 Indiarsquos Moon Mission The dream of
entire India to land on moon and become the 4th Na-
tion in the world to put its flag on the soil of moon
after USSR USA amp China
ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launched
Chandrayan-2 on 22nd July 2019 from Bengaluru
(Satish Dhawan Space Center) under the command of
ISRO chief K Shivan It consists of ORBITER
LANDER amp Lunar Rover PRAGYAN Like Chandra-
yan-1(22nd Oct2008) it was Indiarsquos indigenous moon
mission
It touched the Moon Surface on Saturday early morn-
ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-
ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-
ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of
moon it lost contact with the ground station Because
of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be
monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m
(approx) away from its assigned location near
SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still
orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange
signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it
The ORBITER which will remain active for another
12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-
owed portion of the moon for the first time in history
with the help of its high-resolution camera
The entire Nation irrespective of their field of
knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front
of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of
VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true
Indians who always dream progress and development
of their motherland But our heart never accepts this
as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement
for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-
pose of our mission
But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at
this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring
country quoting this as a big failure on part of India
blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos
money on this
Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will
be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to
this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other
nations on such missions
Further I should say that India is not new in the field
of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-
TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975
It was named after famous scientist of ancient India
ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested
for the first time the HELIOCENTRIC THEORY
(Sun at the center and all planets revolve around the
Sun) of the Solar System much earlier than ready for
New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 57
COPERNICUS as believed in the western world
Other countries might have moon on their flags but
we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is
great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are
whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-
rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is
only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the
unknown and its continual application for the benefit
of the mankind)rdquo
Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by
various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-
PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-
cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958
onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as
46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was
attempted out of which only 21 was successful
Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-
tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the
overall attempts conducted by other Nations
USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-
NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was
planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January
SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR
successfully on moon
NASA after many attempts was successful to send
first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th
July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk
on moon
Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-
clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-
SION MANGAL for our next moon mission

Life is magical - Piyush Sahoo VII-H
A new day or a new night
Everything in life seems bright
A new morning or a new evening
Life is full of happening
A life is just like a kite
It may disappear in a sight
Life moves from baby to old
Make your life challenging and bold
Enjoy life the fullest
Never accept less than best
Unlikely life comes to an end
But remember never to bend
Happy sadness victory and loss
Accept it the way it comes
Life can be at times tragical
But make it the most beautiful
Life is magicalhellip
Life is so magicalhellip
Humility -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
Humility is having a heart to treat others with respect
and love Considering people worthy of your love
time and efforts regardless of who they are or what
they have done A person is truly humble when they
are willing to work hard for others expecting nothing
in return
Humility has the power to change a personrsquos perspec-
tive towards life It can make a difference in the way a
person is looked upon by others Doing an act of hum-
bleness can make a personrsquos day Humility is about
not having an ego or considering things below your
dignity or considering yourself greater than others
People often confuse humility with self-respect They
canrsquot make out the difference between being useful to
others and being used by others
It takes courage to be humble
because in the era in which we
live humility is looked upon as
weakness People assume yoursquore not strong enough to
stand up for yourself They think you surrender in-
stead of protesting They will despise and scorn you
but they donrsquot know that you take pleasure in what
you do because they havenrsquot experienced that kind of
joy
So if you do have humility donrsquot draw back from it
because of what others think Whatever you are doing
is for the good of others and you have no need to be
ashamed of that Humbleness will spread from person
to person Who knows maybe your one act of humili-
ty will spread on to help a person in need So be brave
be humble

Floods and Destruction
- Nirvi Soni IV-H
India faces occurrence of floods each year in some
parts of Assam during the rainy season Water of river
Brahmaputra rises and enters into many villages
causing great destruction Floods are unavoidable but
we need to take precautions in the following ways by
reducing mining activities building dams growing
more trees etc During floods the weather becomes
wet and gloomy Trees and plants get uprooted This
way floods cause great de-
struction to both life and
property It also becomes dif-
ficult to travel from place to
place Many people are left
homeless The rain water should be harvested and
stored in large storage tanks The harvested rainwater
can be used for washing clothes and cleaning By us-
ing rain water in our daily life we can preserve water
resources

The Night - Matangi Rajesh VII-D
Its the night
The moon is white
When we switch off the light
What a beautiful sight
After this comes the sun bright
There is no more artificial light
This is the time to start your diet
To go for a run wearing tights
Then comes the evening when
you have snacks light
And fly a big colorful kite
or include your sibling in a pillow fight
Again comes the night
A moon which is white
We switch off the light
A beautiful sight

Launch of ISROrsquos Fat Boyrsquo
31 satellites in a single flight
Sending another communication satellite in the space
In 2009 Indians maiden mission to the moon Chandrayaan- 1 brought back the first clinching evidence of the
presence of water on the arched lunar surface In more down to the Earth missions Indian satellites are also
helping locate underground water aquifers for some of the poorest and marginal people of India In a way

Hyperloop -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
Human inventions have baffled the world They are
innumerable ranging from revolutionizing
smartphones to not-so-breathtaking ice cream cones
but they play a role in our life just the same The
things which are commonplace to us now were unbe-
knownst to people once upon a time For the people of
the 19th century the car was a thing of the future until
in 1885 Karl Benz ran his first car on the road Then
for centuries people took the prospect of of flying like
the birds as only a wild possibility which was made
possible in 1903 when the Wright Brothers flew the
first plane
What is the thing of the future for us Well we are the
future modifying and bettering the things that have
been made and crating stuff that we didnt even dare
to imagine about The Hyperloop fulfills both aspects
of the definition a very advanced model of our faith-
ful train and yet a brand new idea to scale greater
heights The Hyperloop is an ideal mode of efficient
transport Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane
with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing
speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt have to
ace the two types of friction that every other vehicle
has to face Air resistance and ground friction The
pods of the Hyperloop are propelled through a depres-
surized tub Since it is almost vacuum very little air
resistance can be offered inside the tube Due to this
the energy required to travel is also very less The Hy-
perloops unique technology uses magnetic levitation
to guide and lift the pods of the rail Since the pod is
not in contact with the ground there is no friction act-
ing on itThe first Hyperloop ndash virgin Hyperloop one
is set to run with passengers as early as 2021 and is
created by SpaceX and Tesla
The mastermind behind the Hyperloop is Elon Musk
who first published a 58 page white-paper on the web-
site of his company-Space X It was available to all
and was titled Hyperloop alpha The Hyperloop may
be the pioneer of a whole new era of transportation
traveling a distance which would otherwise take 12
hours in just I hour it has crossed all known bounda-
ries and created higher limits for us to reach and reach
we must for when time is money and money is time
an option that saves both needs to be used
Exams are good or bad -Nupoor Teli VIII
In my humble opinion exams are pressure on the stu-
dents They are forced to study and score good marks
which can lead to frustration An environment of com-
petitiveness of standing first is created for which stu-
dents keep on studying day and night without any rec-
reation It is good to study but not just for the sake of
gaining marks
Why do we study What is the main intention behind
education Seeking interesting and fascinating
knowledge as well as facts about the world But now-a
-days the main reason for studying is gaining marks
If there are no marks no career and no success This
is the mindset of 70 people of the world especially
parents They pressurize their children so much that
they get depressed or sometimes attempt suicide as
wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-
ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities
chapter test after every topic notebookfile submis-
sion etc And as cherry on top of the cake we have the
semester exams of eighty marks as well What all will
the students do And even if any extra-curricular ac-
tivities are being learnt then more extra studies Just
study study and study
Why so much of tension on the children Under this
tension only they start cheating As time passes cheat-
ing becomes a habit of their lifeI fell that exams
should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate
whether the students are clear with the concepts or
not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but
should be made understand their mistakes Let them
choose their own career options on their own Help
them know what they like to study and what they want
to do in their life So dont pressurize students for
what they dont like and encourage them in what they
do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the
country

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B
Life is all about interactions You meet people and
you interact You observe them consciously or sub-
consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us
more than we even realise Some people leave a last-
ing impression on us and entirely change the course of
life for better or for worse Some people influence us
help us go further and make all the difference
I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-
tial people They have taken care of me ever since I
came into this world They are the ones who wish the
best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-
cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel
no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-
come a part of my personality They are the ones who
helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me
to be better
When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are
the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-
takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique
learning experience It has made me realise how eve-
rything they do has a reason They are the ones who
have taught me the importance of the little things in
life They are the ones who have helped me recognize
and follow my passion The very thought of them not
being a part of my life is scary to the least as without
them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am
today and whatever I have achieved is all because of
them and I am very grateful of that
Eyesight
-Aditi Shenoy VIII-F
The tired little girl went to bed
Recollecting the days bygone
Seeing them in her dreams
As the day she was born
Trying to see the world
With her little eyes
But the sun with his brightness
Wouldnt let her catch the sights
The girl still eager
And curious to see the world around her
Again opened her eyes
But her vision was blurred
Still she did not lose hope
Which flowed through her blood
Encouraging and pushing her
To see the world further
Her heart beating fast
Her enthusiasm increasing
She slowly tried to see
With her eyes continuously blinking
Starting to lose hope
She was ready to give up
But curiosity got the upper hand
And pushed her forward
With her hope again rising
and strength in her eyesight
She is finally seeing the world
With wide open eyes

Conquering the space
-Marisha Nath VIII-C
ldquoThere is no failure in Science it is only continual
effort to conquer the unknown On the way even if we
face failure it rather adds more value to our effort for
our next journey to know the unknownrdquo
Chandrayan-2 Indiarsquos Moon Mission The dream of
entire India to land on moon and become the 4th Na-
tion in the world to put its flag on the soil of moon
after USSR USA amp China
ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launched
Chandrayan-2 on 22nd July 2019 from Bengaluru
(Satish Dhawan Space Center) under the command of
ISRO chief K Shivan It consists of ORBITER
LANDER amp Lunar Rover PRAGYAN Like Chandra-
yan-1(22nd Oct2008) it was Indiarsquos indigenous moon
mission
It touched the Moon Surface on Saturday early morn-
ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-
ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-
ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of
moon it lost contact with the ground station Because
of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be
monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m
(approx) away from its assigned location near
SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still
orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange
signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it
The ORBITER which will remain active for another
12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-
owed portion of the moon for the first time in history
with the help of its high-resolution camera
The entire Nation irrespective of their field of
knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front
of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of
VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true
Indians who always dream progress and development
of their motherland But our heart never accepts this
as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement
for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-
pose of our mission
But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at
this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring
country quoting this as a big failure on part of India
blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos
money on this
Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will
be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to
this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other
nations on such missions
Further I should say that India is not new in the field
of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-
TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975
It was named after famous scientist of ancient India
ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested
for the first time the HELIOCENTRIC THEORY
(Sun at the center and all planets revolve around the
Sun) of the Solar System much earlier than ready for
New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 57
COPERNICUS as believed in the western world
Other countries might have moon on their flags but
we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is
great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are
whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-
rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is
only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the
unknown and its continual application for the benefit
of the mankind)rdquo
Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by
various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-
PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-
cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958
onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as
46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was
attempted out of which only 21 was successful
Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-
tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the
overall attempts conducted by other Nations
USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-
NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was
planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January
SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR
successfully on moon
NASA after many attempts was successful to send
first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th
July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk
on moon
Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-
clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-
SION MANGAL for our next moon mission

Hello I am the Earth
For me I am the sweetest heart
I provide you with lots of stuff
With food and the mangoes that you love

I am special as I am just one
But the humans living on me
Are making me dirty
They are cutting all the trees
And killing all the species helliphellip
They filling me with smoke and death
They are killing themselves
with lack of breath
I am the Earth
I am your mother
Make me the best by pol-
luting me less and less
And preventing my green dress
You can save water
you plant a tree
Make a better home for you on me
Recycle things donrsquot throw them awayhellip

The Night - Matangi Rajesh VII-D
Its the night
The moon is white
When we switch off the light
What a beautiful sight
After this comes the sun bright
There is no more artificial light
This is the time to start your diet
To go for a run wearing tights
Then comes the evening when
you have snacks light
And fly a big colorful kite
or include your sibling in a pillow fight
Again comes the night
A moon which is white
We switch off the light

Hyperloop -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
Human inventions have baffled the world They are
innumerable ranging from revolutionizing
smartphones to not-so-breathtaking ice cream cones
but they play a role in our life just the same The
things which are commonplace to us now were unbe-
knownst to people once upon a time For the people of
the 19th century the car was a thing of the future until
in 1885 Karl Benz ran his first car on the road Then
for centuries people took the prospect of of flying like
the birds as only a wild possibility which was made
possible in 1903 when the Wright Brothers flew the
first plane
What is the thing of the future for us Well we are the
future modifying and bettering the things that have
been made and crating stuff that we didnt even dare
to imagine about The Hyperloop fulfills both aspects
of the definition a very advanced model of our faith-
ful train and yet a brand new idea to scale greater
heights The Hyperloop is an ideal mode of efficient
transport Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane
with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing
speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt have to
ace the two types of friction that every other vehicle
has to face Air resistance and ground friction The
pods of the Hyperloop are propelled through a depres-
surized tub Since it is almost vacuum very little air
resistance can be offered inside the tube Due to this
the energy required to travel is also very less The Hy-
perloops unique technology uses magnetic levitation
to guide and lift the pods of the rail Since the pod is
not in contact with the ground there is no friction act-
ing on itThe first Hyperloop ndash virgin Hyperloop one
is set to run with passengers as early as 2021 and is
created by SpaceX and Tesla
The mastermind behind the Hyperloop is Elon Musk
who first published a 58 page white-paper on the web-
site of his company-Space X It was available to all
and was titled Hyperloop alpha The Hyperloop may
be the pioneer of a whole new era of transportation
traveling a distance which would otherwise take 12
hours in just I hour it has crossed all known bounda-
ries and created higher limits for us to reach and reach
we must for when time is money and money is time
an option that saves both needs to be used
Exams are good or bad -Nupoor Teli VIII
In my humble opinion exams are pressure on the stu-
dents They are forced to study and score good marks
which can lead to frustration An environment of com-
petitiveness of standing first is created for which stu-
dents keep on studying day and night without any rec-
reation It is good to study but not just for the sake of
gaining marks
Why do we study What is the main intention behind
education Seeking interesting and fascinating
knowledge as well as facts about the world But now-a
-days the main reason for studying is gaining marks
If there are no marks no career and no success This
is the mindset of 70 people of the world especially
parents They pressurize their children so much that
they get depressed or sometimes attempt suicide as
wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-
ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities
chapter test after every topic notebookfile submis-
sion etc And as cherry on top of the cake we have the
semester exams of eighty marks as well What all will
the students do And even if any extra-curricular ac-
tivities are being learnt then more extra studies Just
study study and study
Why so much of tension on the children Under this
tension only they start cheating As time passes cheat-
ing becomes a habit of their lifeI fell that exams
should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate
whether the students are clear with the concepts or
not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but
should be made understand their mistakes Let them
choose their own career options on their own Help
them know what they like to study and what they want
to do in their life So dont pressurize students for
what they dont like and encourage them in what they
do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the
country

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B
Life is all about interactions You meet people and
you interact You observe them consciously or sub-
consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us
more than we even realise Some people leave a last-
ing impression on us and entirely change the course of
life for better or for worse Some people influence us
help us go further and make all the difference
I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-
tial people They have taken care of me ever since I
came into this world They are the ones who wish the
best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-
cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel
no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-
come a part of my personality They are the ones who
helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me
to be better
When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are
the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-
takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique
learning experience It has made me realise how eve-
rything they do has a reason They are the ones who
have taught me the importance of the little things in
life They are the ones who have helped me recognize
and follow my passion The very thought of them not
being a part of my life is scary to the least as without
them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am
today and whatever I have achieved is all because of
them and I am very grateful of that
Eyesight
-Aditi Shenoy VIII-F
The tired little girl went to bed
Recollecting the days bygone
Seeing them in her dreams
As the day she was born
Trying to see the world
With her little eyes
But the sun with his brightness
Wouldnt let her catch the sights
The girl still eager
And curious to see the world around her
Again opened her eyes
But her vision was blurred
Still she did not lose hope
Which flowed through her blood
Encouraging and pushing her
To see the world further
Her heart beating fast
Her enthusiasm increasing
She slowly tried to see
With her eyes continuously blinking
Starting to lose hope
She was ready to give up
But curiosity got the upper hand
And pushed her forward
With her hope again rising
and strength in her eyesight
She is finally seeing the world
With wide open eyes

Conquering the space
-Marisha Nath VIII-C
ldquoThere is no failure in Science it is only continual
effort to conquer the unknown On the way even if we
face failure it rather adds more value to our effort for
our next journey to know the unknownrdquo
Chandrayan-2 Indiarsquos Moon Mission The dream of
entire India to land on moon and become the 4th Na-
tion in the world to put its flag on the soil of moon
after USSR USA amp China
ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launched
Chandrayan-2 on 22nd July 2019 from Bengaluru
(Satish Dhawan Space Center) under the command of
ISRO chief K Shivan It consists of ORBITER
LANDER amp Lunar Rover PRAGYAN Like Chandra-
yan-1(22nd Oct2008) it was Indiarsquos indigenous moon
mission
It touched the Moon Surface on Saturday early morn-
ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-
ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-
ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of
moon it lost contact with the ground station Because
of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be
monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m
(approx) away from its assigned location near
SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still
orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange
signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it
The ORBITER which will remain active for another
12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-
owed portion of the moon for the first time in history
with the help of its high-resolution camera
The entire Nation irrespective of their field of
knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front
of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of
VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true
Indians who always dream progress and development
of their motherland But our heart never accepts this
as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement
for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-
pose of our mission
But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at
this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring
country quoting this as a big failure on part of India
blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos
money on this
Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will
be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to
this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other
nations on such missions
Further I should say that India is not new in the field
of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-
TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975
It was named after famous scientist of ancient India
ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested
for the first time the HELIOCENTRIC THEORY
(Sun at the center and all planets revolve around the
Sun) of the Solar System much earlier than ready for
New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 57
COPERNICUS as believed in the western world
Other countries might have moon on their flags but
we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is
great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are
whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-
rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is
only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the
unknown and its continual application for the benefit
of the mankind)rdquo
Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by
various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-
PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-
cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958
onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as
46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was
attempted out of which only 21 was successful
Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-
tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the
overall attempts conducted by other Nations
USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-
NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was
planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January
SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR
successfully on moon
NASA after many attempts was successful to send
first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th
July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk
on moon
Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-
clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-
SION MANGAL for our next moon mission

I am the EARTH - Deepashikha P VII F
Hello I am the Earth
For me I am the sweetest heart
I provide you with lots of stuff
With food and the mangoes that you love
I give you water soil and Sun
I am special as I am just one
But the humans living on me
Are making me dirty
They are cutting all the trees
And killing all the species helliphellip
They filling me with smoke and death
They are killing themselves
with lack of breath
I am the Earth
I am your mother
Make me the best by pol-
luting me less and less
And preventing my green dress
You can save water
you plant a tree
Make a better home for you on me
Recycle things donrsquot throw them awayhellip
MAKE EVERY DAY AN EARTH

OUR FUTURE EARTH - Hiya Purswani VIII-B
We all know the present condition of our environment
around us Inspite of advanced and modern technolo-
gy we humans are still not able to find a solution
Early humans neither they had much technology nor
they had enough intelligence but still in the early ages
the environment was clean making it the reason for
the increasing life span of humans Its a shocking
news to know that the amount of plastic bottles pro-
duced now may lead to increase in plastic pollution
and cause several death Its a great opportunity to be
as a human in this beautiful earth and so its our re-
sponsibility to make it clean In monsoon people cut
down trees to prevent accidents to occur but do we
plant trees in summer to prevent more global warm-
ing We can prevent bad things to happen but not can-
not take that much effort for good things to spread
Have you ever wondered while seeing a tap open how
many taps are left open at the same time in the whole
world It might sound unbelievable there can be a
World War III on water land and fresh air The way
we are thinking about the wastage of water may lead
us to a massive pain Itrsquos truly said by Warren Buffet
sometimes to buy things we need we have to sell
things we do not need This happens in the case of
lacking of intelligence We say every scholar is a true
genius but in my
opinion a person is
genius if he has the
ability to save and
change things in his
own way We all have the ability to save this earth
but our thoughts our ego and our greediness is stop-
ping us to think in a better way Everyone has a good
and a bad side in his life What matters is the part we
choose to act upon This is an excellent thought said
by Sirius Black in the movie Harry Potter Itrsquos time to
bring a change We always have time to do good
things all we need is hope Spreading awareness is the
best idea to bring a change If everyone stops thinking
about their economical needs and start contributing
towards the environment by planting more trees cer-
tainly there will be a beneficial change in this world
Neither do we think about the future nor care about
the present Why not be an optimist and think in a
positive way of life Our studies our needs our
knowledge will not help us in any way if we donʼt
change Its not that easy to plant a tree and care for it a
whole year if we only plant it with all our love nature
is certainly going to care for it Lastly I would like to
end with a quoterdquo Come forth in the light of things
nature will be your teacher
The Small Hours Pranjal Anil Chavan V-C
No more my little song Come back
And now of nights I lay my head on down
to watch the black
And wait the unfailing gray
Oh Sad are winter nights and slow
And sad is a song thatrsquos dumb
And sad it is to lie I know
Another dawn will come

Floods and Destruction
- Nirvi Soni IV-H
India faces occurrence of floods each year in some
parts of Assam during the rainy season Water of river
Brahmaputra rises and enters into many villages
causing great destruction Floods are unavoidable but
we need to take precautions in the following ways by
reducing mining activities building dams growing
more trees etc During floods the weather becomes
wet and gloomy Trees and plants get uprooted This
way floods cause great de-
struction to both life and
property It also becomes dif-
ficult to travel from place to
place Many people are left
homeless The rain water should be harvested and
stored in large storage tanks The harvested rainwater
can be used for washing clothes and cleaning By us-
ing rain water in our daily life we can preserve water
resources
Good Morning Everyone -Vyomi ThakkarVI - H
Come with me wersquoll have some fun
Wersquoll go on a walk
Donrsquot worry will have a great talk
Roaming around the ground
With beautiful birdrsquos sound
We donrsquot know if anything will be found
Wersquoll surely find the crown
Up on the chilled mountain
We saw a beautiful fountain
Surrounded by a beautiful castle
Decorated with the colourful tassel
Just be quiet and keen
Soon you will be the queen
Think before you speak
-Shravya Atreya IX-D
Think before you speak
There are hearts you must please
Think before you speak
You canrsquot undo the harm done after you squeak
Think before you speak
You might have done greater harm than you might
think
Think before you speak
There are still places left for you
to seek
Think before you speak
There is a long way to go before
you sleep
Think before you speak
There are hearts you must
please
Sunrise -Anuradha Singh VII-H
Over the glimmering purple sea
Under the golden sun rise
The Island dreams under the dawn
And the message is carried by the wind that blows
across the bitter sea
A sparrow sways upon a tree
staring at his own in the
enamelled sea
Everything is fine
With fading stars and rising light

GLOBAL WARMING - Adhyant Singh VII-F
Global warming refers to the steady rise in the Earthrsquos mean temperature The effect of global
warming had come into sight when polar ice caps started melting this phenomena is called ICE ndash
ALBEDO the ice caps melt faster due to the rise in the temperature This sudden rise in the temperature near
the poles began in 1999 The polar ice caps in Antarctica melt at the rate of 400000000000 tons per year ac-
cording to some scientists it would approximately take 5000 years to melt the total ice on earth In 2013 Inter-
governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) stated that the main cause of Global warming is human inter-
vention like emission of Green house gases like Carbon-Di-Oxide nitrous oxide and methane
These gases trap the heat which is reflected by the Earthrsquos surface thus increasing the temperature and also
destroying the ozone layer which prevents the ultraviolet rays of the sun from reaching the earthrsquos surface Al-
so burning fossil fuel contributes to the problem Effects of global warming have also led to the increase in the
sea level and extreme weather like heat waves and change in the regional pattern of precipitation and the ex-
pansion of desserts A concentrated and focused effort by the entire humanity can curb down the impact of
Global warming and also prevent it Planting more trees to control the amount of carbon-di-oxide eliminating
the use of chlorofluorocarbon or (CFCrsquoS) are a few steps All the countries have signed up with the United Na-
tions Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to prevent the doomsday of Earth So to prevent
earthrsquos doomsday we all must work together
Itrsquos not too late there is still timehellipBefore the earth ends and we whinehellipSo keep on marching and planting
greens To end Global Warming and Make our planet greenhellip

knowledge as well as facts about the world But now-a

If there are no marks no career and no success This
is the mindset of 70 people of the world especially
parents They pressurize their children so much that
they get depressed or sometimes attempt suicide as
wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-
ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities
chapter test after every topic notebookfile submis-
sion etc And as cherry on top of the cake we have the
semester exams of eighty marks as well What all will
the students do And even if any extra-curricular ac-
tivities are being learnt then more extra studies Just
study study and study
Why so much of tension on the children Under this
tension only they start cheating As time passes cheat-
ing becomes a habit of their lifeI fell that exams
should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate
whether the students are clear with the concepts or
not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but
should be made understand their mistakes Let them
choose their own career options on their own Help
them know what they like to study and what they want
to do in their life So dont pressurize students for
what they dont like and encourage them in what they
do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B
Life is all about interactions You meet people and
you interact You observe them consciously or sub-
consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us
more than we even realise Some people leave a last-
ing impression on us and entirely change the course of
life for better or for worse Some people influence us
help us go further and make all the difference
I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-
tial people They have taken care of me ever since I
came into this world They are the ones who wish the
best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-
cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel
no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-
come a part of my personality They are the ones who
helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me
to be better
When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are
the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-
takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique
learning experience It has made me realise how eve-
rything they do has a reason They are the ones who
have taught me the importance of the little things in
life They are the ones who have helped me recognize
and follow my passion The very thought of them not
being a part of my life is scary to the least as without
them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am
today and whatever I have achieved is all because of
them and I am very grateful of that

The tired little girl went to bed
Recollecting the days bygone
Seeing them in her dreams
As the day she was born
Trying to see the world
With her little eyes
But the sun with his brightness
Wouldnt let her catch the sights
The girl still eager
And curious to see the world around her
Again opened her eyes
But her vision was blurred
Still she did not lose hope
Which flowed through her blood
Encouraging and pushing her
To see the world further
Her heart beating fast
Her enthusiasm increasing
She slowly tried to see
With her eyes continuously blinking
Starting to lose hope
She was ready to give up
But curiosity got the upper hand
And pushed her forward
With her hope again rising
and strength in her eyesight
She is finally seeing the world
With wide open eyes

OUR FUTURE EARTH - Hiya Purswani VIII-B
We all know the present condition of our environment
around us Inspite of advanced and modern technolo-
gy we humans are still not able to find a solution
Early humans neither they had much technology nor
they had enough intelligence but still in the early ages
the environment was clean making it the reason for
the increasing life span of humans Its a shocking
news to know that the amount of plastic bottles pro-
duced now may lead to increase in plastic pollution
and cause several death Its a great opportunity to be
as a human in this beautiful earth and so its our re-
sponsibility to make it clean In monsoon people cut
down trees to prevent accidents to occur but do we
plant trees in summer to prevent more global warm-
ing We can prevent bad things to happen but not can-
not take that much effort for good things to spread
Have you ever wondered while seeing a tap open how
many taps are left open at the same time in the whole
world It might sound unbelievable there can be a
World War III on water land and fresh air The way
we are thinking about the wastage of water may lead
us to a massive pain Itrsquos truly said by Warren Buffet
sometimes to buy things we need we have to sell
things we do not need This happens in the case of
lacking of intelligence We say every scholar is a true
genius but in my
opinion a person is
genius if he has the
ability to save and
change things in his
own way We all have the ability to save this earth
but our thoughts our ego and our greediness is stop-
ping us to think in a better way Everyone has a good
and a bad side in his life What matters is the part we
choose to act upon This is an excellent thought said
by Sirius Black in the movie Harry Potter Itrsquos time to
bring a change We always have time to do good
things all we need is hope Spreading awareness is the
best idea to bring a change If everyone stops thinking
about their economical needs and start contributing
towards the environment by planting more trees cer-
tainly there will be a beneficial change in this world
Neither do we think about the future nor care about
the present Why not be an optimist and think in a
positive way of life Our studies our needs our
knowledge will not help us in any way if we donʼt
change Its not that easy to plant a tree and care for it a
whole year if we only plant it with all our love nature
is certainly going to care for it Lastly I would like to
end with a quoterdquo Come forth in the light of things
nature will be your teacher
The Small Hours Pranjal Anil Chavan V-C
No more my little song Come back
And now of nights I lay my head on down
to watch the black
And wait the unfailing gray
Oh Sad are winter nights and slow
And sad is a song thatrsquos dumb
And sad it is to lie I know
Another dawn will come

Floods and Destruction
- Nirvi Soni IV-H
India faces occurrence of floods each year in some
parts of Assam during the rainy season Water of river
Brahmaputra rises and enters into many villages
causing great destruction Floods are unavoidable but
we need to take precautions in the following ways by
reducing mining activities building dams growing
more trees etc During floods the weather becomes
wet and gloomy Trees and plants get uprooted This
way floods cause great de-
struction to both life and
property It also becomes dif-
ficult to travel from place to
place Many people are left
homeless The rain water should be harvested and
stored in large storage tanks The harvested rainwater
can be used for washing clothes and cleaning By us-
ing rain water in our daily life we can preserve water
resources
Good Morning Everyone -Vyomi ThakkarVI - H
Come with me wersquoll have some fun
Wersquoll go on a walk
Donrsquot worry will have a great talk
Roaming around the ground
With beautiful birdrsquos sound
We donrsquot know if anything will be found
Wersquoll surely find the crown
Up on the chilled mountain
We saw a beautiful fountain
Surrounded by a beautiful castle
Decorated with the colourful tassel
Just be quiet and keen
Soon you will be the queen
Think before you speak
-Shravya Atreya IX-D
Think before you speak
There are hearts you must please
Think before you speak
You canrsquot undo the harm done after you squeak
Think before you speak
You might have done greater harm than you might
think
Think before you speak
There are still places left for you
to seek
Think before you speak
There is a long way to go before
you sleep
Think before you speak
There are hearts you must
please

Everything is fine

GLOBAL WARMING - Adhyant Singh VII-F
Global warming refers to the steady rise in the Earthrsquos mean temperature The effect of global
warming had come into sight when polar ice caps started melting this phenomena is called ICE ndash
ALBEDO the ice caps melt faster due to the rise in the temperature This sudden rise in the temperature near
the poles began in 1999 The polar ice caps in Antarctica melt at the rate of 400000000000 tons per year ac-
cording to some scientists it would approximately take 5000 years to melt the total ice on earth In 2013 Inter-
governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) stated that the main cause of Global warming is human inter-
vention like emission of Green house gases like Carbon-Di-Oxide nitrous oxide and methane
These gases trap the heat which is reflected by the Earthrsquos surface thus increasing the temperature and also
destroying the ozone layer which prevents the ultraviolet rays of the sun from reaching the earthrsquos surface Al-
so burning fossil fuel contributes to the problem Effects of global warming have also led to the increase in the
sea level and extreme weather like heat waves and change in the regional pattern of precipitation and the ex-
pansion of desserts A concentrated and focused effort by the entire humanity can curb down the impact of
Global warming and also prevent it Planting more trees to control the amount of carbon-di-oxide eliminating
the use of chlorofluorocarbon or (CFCrsquoS) are a few steps All the countries have signed up with the United Na-
tions Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to prevent the doomsday of Earth So to prevent
earthrsquos doomsday we all must work together
Itrsquos not too late there is still timehellipBefore the earth ends and we whinehellipSo keep on marching and planting
greens To end Global Warming and Make our planet greenhellip
What will happen without Instagram

I asked who was the inventor
Again nobody was aware
I wondered why was it like so
Why is it they donrsquot know
There was one time we were
engrossed in books
Now we care more about our looks
Instagram wonrsquot give you a job
You will have to study and top
Your fellow followers wonrsquot help either
If you donrsquot have a job no one will bother

The Night - Matangi Rajesh VII-D
Its the night
The moon is white
When we switch off the light
What a beautiful sight
After this comes the sun bright
There is no more artificial light
This is the time to start your diet
To go for a run wearing tights
Then comes the evening when
you have snacks light
And fly a big colorful kite
or include your sibling in a pillow fight
Again comes the night
A moon which is white
We switch off the light
A beautiful sight
INDIArsquoS JOURNEY TOWARDDS TECHNOLOGY AND SPACE - Sakshi Shetty VII-J
A little known fact India today has end-to-end capabilities in space The country builds and launches its own
heavy duty rockets designs and fabricates some of the most sophisticated satellites In a singular achievement
Indiarsquos Mars Orbiter mission or Mangalyaan an unmanned satellite today racing to rendezvous with the red
planet making India a part of a select club of 6 that have dared to undertake the over 680 million kilometer
journey The Indian Space Research Organization ISRO is the Space Agency of Government of India head-
quartered in the city of Bengaluru Its vision is to ldquoharness space technology ldquofor na-
tional development while pursuing space science research and planter exploration
Some achievements of ISRO in 2017
Launching 104 satellites with one rocket
South Asia Satellite (GSAT- 9) launch
Launch of ISROrsquos Fat Boyrsquo
31 satellites in a single flight
Sending another communication satellite in the space
In 2009 Indians maiden mission to the moon Chandrayaan- 1 brought back the first clinching evidence of the
presence of water on the arched lunar surface In more down to the Earth missions Indian satellites are also
helping locate underground water aquifers for some of the poorest and marginal people of India In a way
Indiarsquos space technology is helping everyone

Hyperloop -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
Human inventions have baffled the world They are
innumerable ranging from revolutionizing
smartphones to not-so-breathtaking ice cream cones
but they play a role in our life just the same The
things which are commonplace to us now were unbe-
knownst to people once upon a time For the people of
the 19th century the car was a thing of the future until
in 1885 Karl Benz ran his first car on the road Then
for centuries people took the prospect of of flying like
the birds as only a wild possibility which was made
possible in 1903 when the Wright Brothers flew the
first plane
What is the thing of the future for us Well we are the
future modifying and bettering the things that have
been made and crating stuff that we didnt even dare
to imagine about The Hyperloop fulfills both aspects
of the definition a very advanced model of our faith-
ful train and yet a brand new idea to scale greater
heights The Hyperloop is an ideal mode of efficient
transport Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane
with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing
speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt have to
ace the two types of friction that every other vehicle
has to face Air resistance and ground friction The
pods of the Hyperloop are propelled through a depres-
surized tub Since it is almost vacuum very little air
resistance can be offered inside the tube Due to this
the energy required to travel is also very less The Hy-
perloops unique technology uses magnetic levitation
to guide and lift the pods of the rail Since the pod is
not in contact with the ground there is no friction act-
ing on itThe first Hyperloop ndash virgin Hyperloop one
is set to run with passengers as early as 2021 and is
created by SpaceX and Tesla
The mastermind behind the Hyperloop is Elon Musk
who first published a 58 page white-paper on the web-
site of his company-Space X It was available to all
and was titled Hyperloop alpha The Hyperloop may
be the pioneer of a whole new era of transportation
traveling a distance which would otherwise take 12
hours in just I hour it has crossed all known bounda-
ries and created higher limits for us to reach and reach
we must for when time is money and money is time
an option that saves both needs to be used
Exams are good or bad -Nupoor Teli VIII
In my humble opinion exams are pressure on the stu-
dents They are forced to study and score good marks
which can lead to frustration An environment of com-
petitiveness of standing first is created for which stu-
dents keep on studying day and night without any rec-
reation It is good to study but not just for the sake of
gaining marks
Why do we study What is the main intention behind
education Seeking interesting and fascinating
knowledge as well as facts about the world But now-a
-days the main reason for studying is gaining marks
If there are no marks no career and no success This
is the mindset of 70 people of the world especially

semester exams of eighty marks as well What all will
the students do And even if any extra-curricular ac-
tivities are being learnt then more extra studies Just

OUR FUTURE EARTH - Hiya Purswani VIII-B
We all know the present condition of our environment
around us Inspite of advanced and modern technolo-
gy we humans are still not able to find a solution
Early humans neither they had much technology nor
they had enough intelligence but still in the early ages
the environment was clean making it the reason for
the increasing life span of humans Its a shocking
news to know that the amount of plastic bottles pro-
duced now may lead to increase in plastic pollution
and cause several death Its a great opportunity to be
as a human in this beautiful earth and so its our re-
sponsibility to make it clean In monsoon people cut
down trees to prevent accidents to occur but do we
plant trees in summer to prevent more global warm-
ing We can prevent bad things to happen but not can-
not take that much effort for good things to spread
Have you ever wondered while seeing a tap open how
many taps are left open at the same time in the whole
world It might sound unbelievable there can be a
World War III on water land and fresh air The way
we are thinking about the wastage of water may lead
us to a massive pain Itrsquos truly said by Warren Buffet
sometimes to buy things we need we have to sell
things we do not need This happens in the case of
lacking of intelligence We say every scholar is a true
genius but in my
opinion a person is
genius if he has the
ability to save and
change things in his
own way We all have the ability to save this earth
but our thoughts our ego and our greediness is stop-
ping us to think in a better way Everyone has a good
and a bad side in his life What matters is the part we
choose to act upon This is an excellent thought said
by Sirius Black in the movie Harry Potter Itrsquos time to
bring a change We always have time to do good
things all we need is hope Spreading awareness is the
best idea to bring a change If everyone stops thinking
about their economical needs and start contributing
towards the environment by planting more trees cer-
tainly there will be a beneficial change in this world
Neither do we think about the future nor care about
the present Why not be an optimist and think in a
positive way of life Our studies our needs our
knowledge will not help us in any way if we donʼt
change Its not that easy to plant a tree and care for it a
whole year if we only plant it with all our love nature
is certainly going to care for it Lastly I would like to
end with a quoterdquo Come forth in the light of things
nature will be your teacher
The Small Hours Pranjal Anil Chavan V-C
No more my little song Come back
And now of nights I lay my head on down
to watch the black
And wait the unfailing gray
Oh Sad are winter nights and slow
And sad is a song thatrsquos dumb
And sad it is to lie I know
Another dawn will come

Floods and Destruction
- Nirvi Soni IV-H
India faces occurrence of floods each year in some
parts of Assam during the rainy season Water of river
Brahmaputra rises and enters into many villages
causing great destruction Floods are unavoidable but
we need to take precautions in the following ways by
reducing mining activities building dams growing
more trees etc During floods the weather becomes
wet and gloomy Trees and plants get uprooted This
way floods cause great de-
struction to both life and
property It also becomes dif-
ficult to travel from place to
place Many people are left
homeless The rain water should be harvested and
stored in large storage tanks The harvested rainwater
can be used for washing clothes and cleaning By us-
ing rain water in our daily life we can preserve water
resources
Good Morning Everyone -Vyomi ThakkarVI - H
Come with me wersquoll have some fun
Wersquoll go on a walk
Donrsquot worry will have a great talk
Roaming around the ground
With beautiful birdrsquos sound
We donrsquot know if anything will be found
Wersquoll surely find the crown
Up on the chilled mountain
We saw a beautiful fountain
Surrounded by a beautiful castle
Decorated with the colourful tassel
Just be quiet and keen
Soon you will be the queen
Think before you speak
-Shravya Atreya IX-D
Think before you speak
There are hearts you must please
Think before you speak
You canrsquot undo the harm done after you squeak
Think before you speak
You might have done greater harm than you might
think
Think before you speak
There are still places left for you
to seek
Think before you speak
There is a long way to go before
you sleep
Think before you speak
There are hearts you must
please

GLOBAL WARMING - Adhyant Singh VII-F
Global warming refers to the steady rise in the Earthrsquos mean temperature The effect of global
warming had come into sight when polar ice caps started melting this phenomena is called ICE ndash
ALBEDO the ice caps melt faster due to the rise in the temperature This sudden rise in the temperature near
the poles began in 1999 The polar ice caps in Antarctica melt at the rate of 400000000000 tons per year ac-
cording to some scientists it would approximately take 5000 years to melt the total ice on earth In 2013 Inter-
governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) stated that the main cause of Global warming is human inter-
vention like emission of Green house gases like Carbon-Di-Oxide nitrous oxide and methane
These gases trap the heat which is reflected by the Earthrsquos surface thus increasing the temperature and also
destroying the ozone layer which prevents the ultraviolet rays of the sun from reaching the earthrsquos surface Al-
so burning fossil fuel contributes to the problem Effects of global warming have also led to the increase in the
sea level and extreme weather like heat waves and change in the regional pattern of precipitation and the ex-
pansion of desserts A concentrated and focused effort by the entire humanity can curb down the impact of
Global warming and also prevent it Planting more trees to control the amount of carbon-di-oxide eliminating
the use of chlorofluorocarbon or (CFCrsquoS) are a few steps All the countries have signed up with the United Na-
tions Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to prevent the doomsday of Earth So to prevent
earthrsquos doomsday we all must work together
Itrsquos not too late there is still timehellipBefore the earth ends and we whinehellipSo keep on marching and planting
greens To end Global Warming and Make our planet greenhellip

The Night - Matangi Rajesh VII-D
Its the night
The moon is white
When we switch off the light
What a beautiful sight
After this comes the sun bright
There is no more artificial light
This is the time to start your diet
To go for a run wearing tights
Then comes the evening when
you have snacks light
And fly a big colorful kite
or include your sibling in a pillow fight
Again comes the night
A moon which is white
We switch off the light

INDIArsquoS JOURNEY TOWARDDS TECHNOLOGY AND SPACE - Sakshi Shetty VII-J
A little known fact India today has end-to-end capabilities in space The country builds and launches its own
heavy duty rockets designs and fabricates some of the most sophisticated satellites In a singular achievement
Indiarsquos Mars Orbiter mission or Mangalyaan an unmanned satellite today racing to rendezvous with the red
planet making India a part of a select club of 6 that have dared to undertake the over 680 million kilometer
journey The Indian Space Research Organization ISRO is the Space Agency of Government of India head-
quartered in the city of Bengaluru Its vision is to ldquoharness space technology ldquofor na-
tional development while pursuing space science research and planter exploration
Some achievements of ISRO in 2017
Launching 104 satellites with one rocket
South Asia Satellite (GSAT- 9) launch
Launch of ISROrsquos Fat Boyrsquo
31 satellites in a single flight
Sending another communication satellite in the space
In 2009 Indians maiden mission to the moon Chandrayaan- 1 brought back the first clinching evidence of the
presence of water on the arched lunar surface In more down to the Earth missions Indian satellites are also
helping locate underground water aquifers for some of the poorest and marginal people of India In a way
Indiarsquos space technology is helping everyone

Hyperloop -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
Human inventions have baffled the world They are
innumerable ranging from revolutionizing
smartphones to not-so-breathtaking ice cream cones
but they play a role in our life just the same The
things which are commonplace to us now were unbe-
knownst to people once upon a time For the people of
the 19th century the car was a thing of the future until
in 1885 Karl Benz ran his first car on the road Then
for centuries people took the prospect of of flying like
the birds as only a wild possibility which was made
possible in 1903 when the Wright Brothers flew the
first plane
What is the thing of the future for us Well we are the
future modifying and bettering the things that have
been made and crating stuff that we didnt even dare
to imagine about The Hyperloop fulfills both aspects
of the definition a very advanced model of our faith-
ful train and yet a brand new idea to scale greater
heights The Hyperloop is an ideal mode of efficient
transport Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane
with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing
speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt have to
ace the two types of friction that every other vehicle
has to face Air resistance and ground friction The
pods of the Hyperloop are propelled through a depres-
surized tub Since it is almost vacuum very little air
resistance can be offered inside the tube Due to this
the energy required to travel is also very less The Hy-
perloops unique technology uses magnetic levitation
to guide and lift the pods of the rail Since the pod is
not in contact with the ground there is no friction act-
ing on itThe first Hyperloop ndash virgin Hyperloop one
is set to run with passengers as early as 2021 and is
created by SpaceX and Tesla
The mastermind behind the Hyperloop is Elon Musk
who first published a 58 page white-paper on the web-
site of his company-Space X It was available to all
and was titled Hyperloop alpha The Hyperloop may
be the pioneer of a whole new era of transportation
traveling a distance which would otherwise take 12
hours in just I hour it has crossed all known bounda-
ries and created higher limits for us to reach and reach
we must for when time is money and money is time
an option that saves both needs to be used
Exams are good or bad -Nupoor Teli VIII
In my humble opinion exams are pressure on the stu-
dents They are forced to study and score good marks
which can lead to frustration An environment of com-
petitiveness of standing first is created for which stu-
dents keep on studying day and night without any rec-
reation It is good to study but not just for the sake of
gaining marks
Why do we study What is the main intention behind
education Seeking interesting and fascinating
knowledge as well as facts about the world But now-a
-days the main reason for studying is gaining marks
If there are no marks no career and no success This
is the mindset of 70 people of the world especially
parents They pressurize their children so much that
they get depressed or sometimes attempt suicide as
wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-
ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities
chapter test after every topic notebookfile submis-
sion etc And as cherry on top of the cake we have the
semester exams of eighty marks as well What all will
the students do And even if any extra-curricular ac-
tivities are being learnt then more extra studies Just
study study and study
Why so much of tension on the children Under this
tension only they start cheating As time passes cheat-
ing becomes a habit of their lifeI fell that exams
should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate
whether the students are clear with the concepts or
not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but
should be made understand their mistakes Let them
choose their own career options on their own Help
them know what they like to study and what they want
to do in their life So dont pressurize students for
what they dont like and encourage them in what they
do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the
country

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B
Life is all about interactions You meet people and
you interact You observe them consciously or sub-
consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us
more than we even realise Some people leave a last-
ing impression on us and entirely change the course of
life for better or for worse Some people influence us
help us go further and make all the difference
I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-
tial people They have taken care of me ever since I
came into this world They are the ones who wish the
best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-
cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel
no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-
come a part of my personality They are the ones who
helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me
to be better
When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are
the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-
takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique
learning experience It has made me realise how eve-
rything they do has a reason They are the ones who
have taught me the importance of the little things in
life They are the ones who have helped me recognize
and follow my passion The very thought of them not
being a part of my life is scary to the least as without
them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am
today and whatever I have achieved is all because of
them and I am very grateful of that
Eyesight
-Aditi Shenoy VIII-F
The tired little girl went to bed
Recollecting the days bygone
Seeing them in her dreams
As the day she was born
Trying to see the world
With her little eyes
But the sun with his brightness
Wouldnt let her catch the sights
The girl still eager
And curious to see the world around her
Again opened her eyes
But her vision was blurred
Still she did not lose hope
Which flowed through her blood
Encouraging and pushing her
To see the world further
Her heart beating fast
Her enthusiasm increasing
She slowly tried to see
With her eyes continuously blinking
Starting to lose hope
She was ready to give up
But curiosity got the upper hand
And pushed her forward
With her hope again rising
and strength in her eyesight
She is finally seeing the world
With wide open eyes

Conquering the space
-Marisha Nath VIII-C
ldquoThere is no failure in Science it is only continual
effort to conquer the unknown On the way even if we
face failure it rather adds more value to our effort for
our next journey to know the unknownrdquo
Chandrayan-2 Indiarsquos Moon Mission The dream of
entire India to land on moon and become the 4th Na-
tion in the world to put its flag on the soil of moon
after USSR USA amp China
ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launched
Chandrayan-2 on 22nd July 2019 from Bengaluru
(Satish Dhawan Space Center) under the command of
ISRO chief K Shivan It consists of ORBITER
LANDER amp Lunar Rover PRAGYAN Like Chandra-
yan-1(22nd Oct2008) it was Indiarsquos indigenous moon
mission
It touched the Moon Surface on Saturday early morn-
ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-
ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-
ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of
moon it lost contact with the ground station Because
of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be
monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m
(approx) away from its assigned location near
SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still
orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange
signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it
The ORBITER which will remain active for another
12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-
owed portion of the moon for the first time in history
with the help of its high-resolution camera
The entire Nation irrespective of their field of
knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front
of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of
VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true
Indians who always dream progress and development
of their motherland But our heart never accepts this
as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement
for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-
pose of our mission
But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at
this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring
country quoting this as a big failure on part of India
blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos
money on this
Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will
be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to
this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other
nations on such missions
Further I should say that India is not new in the field
of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-
TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975
It was named after famous scientist of ancient India
ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested
for the first time the HELIOCENTRIC THEORY
(Sun at the center and all planets revolve around the
Sun) of the Solar System much earlier than ready for
New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 57
COPERNICUS as believed in the western world
Other countries might have moon on their flags but
we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is
great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are
whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-
rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is
only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the
unknown and its continual application for the benefit
of the mankind)rdquo
Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by
various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-
PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-
cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958
onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as
46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was
attempted out of which only 21 was successful
Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-
tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the
overall attempts conducted by other Nations
USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-
NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was
planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January
SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR
successfully on moon
NASA after many attempts was successful to send
first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th
July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk
on moon
Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-
clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-
SION MANGAL for our next moon mission

Hyperloop -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
Human inventions have baffled the world They are
innumerable ranging from revolutionizing
smartphones to not-so-breathtaking ice cream cones
but they play a role in our life just the same The
things which are commonplace to us now were unbe-
knownst to people once upon a time For the people of
the 19th century the car was a thing of the future until
in 1885 Karl Benz ran his first car on the road Then
for centuries people took the prospect of of flying like
the birds as only a wild possibility which was made
possible in 1903 when the Wright Brothers flew the
first plane
What is the thing of the future for us Well we are the
future modifying and bettering the things that have
been made and crating stuff that we didnt even dare
to imagine about The Hyperloop fulfills both aspects
of the definition a very advanced model of our faith-
ful train and yet a brand new idea to scale greater
heights The Hyperloop is an ideal mode of efficient
transport Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane
with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing
speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt have to
ace the two types of friction that every other vehicle
has to face Air resistance and ground friction The
pods of the Hyperloop are propelled through a depres-
surized tub Since it is almost vacuum very little air
resistance can be offered inside the tube Due to this
the energy required to travel is also very less The Hy-
perloops unique technology uses magnetic levitation
to guide and lift the pods of the rail Since the pod is
not in contact with the ground there is no friction act-
ing on itThe first Hyperloop ndash virgin Hyperloop one
is set to run with passengers as early as 2021 and is
created by SpaceX and Tesla
The mastermind behind the Hyperloop is Elon Musk
who first published a 58 page white-paper on the web-
site of his company-Space X It was available to all
and was titled Hyperloop alpha The Hyperloop may
be the pioneer of a whole new era of transportation
traveling a distance which would otherwise take 12
hours in just I hour it has crossed all known bounda-
ries and created higher limits for us to reach and reach
we must for when time is money and money is time
an option that saves both needs to be used
Exams are good or bad -Nupoor Teli VIII
In my humble opinion exams are pressure on the stu-
dents They are forced to study and score good marks
which can lead to frustration An environment of com-
petitiveness of standing first is created for which stu-
dents keep on studying day and night without any rec-
reation It is good to study but not just for the sake of
gaining marks
Why do we study What is the main intention behind
education Seeking interesting and fascinating
knowledge as well as facts about the world But now-a
-days the main reason for studying is gaining marks
If there are no marks no career and no success This
is the mindset of 70 people of the world especially
parents They pressurize their children so much that
they get depressed or sometimes attempt suicide as
wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-
ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities
chapter test after every topic notebookfile submis-
sion etc And as cherry on top of the cake we have the
semester exams of eighty marks as well What all will
the students do And even if any extra-curricular ac-
tivities are being learnt then more extra studies Just
study study and study
Why so much of tension on the children Under this
tension only they start cheating As time passes cheat-
ing becomes a habit of their lifeI fell that exams
should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate
whether the students are clear with the concepts or
not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but
should be made understand their mistakes Let them
choose their own career options on their own Help
them know what they like to study and what they want
to do in their life So dont pressurize students for
what they dont like and encourage them in what they
do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the
country

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B
Life is all about interactions You meet people and
you interact You observe them consciously or sub-
consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us
more than we even realise Some people leave a last-
ing impression on us and entirely change the course of
life for better or for worse Some people influence us
help us go further and make all the difference
I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-
tial people They have taken care of me ever since I
came into this world They are the ones who wish the
best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-
cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel
no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-
come a part of my personality They are the ones who
helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me
to be better
When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are
the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-
takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique
learning experience It has made me realise how eve-
rything they do has a reason They are the ones who
have taught me the importance of the little things in
life They are the ones who have helped me recognize
and follow my passion The very thought of them not
being a part of my life is scary to the least as without
them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am
today and whatever I have achieved is all because of
them and I am very grateful of that
Eyesight
-Aditi Shenoy VIII-F
The tired little girl went to bed
Recollecting the days bygone
Seeing them in her dreams
As the day she was born
Trying to see the world
With her little eyes
But the sun with his brightness
Wouldnt let her catch the sights
The girl still eager
And curious to see the world around her
Again opened her eyes
But her vision was blurred
Still she did not lose hope
Which flowed through her blood
Encouraging and pushing her
To see the world further
Her heart beating fast
Her enthusiasm increasing
She slowly tried to see
With her eyes continuously blinking
Starting to lose hope
She was ready to give up
But curiosity got the upper hand
And pushed her forward
With her hope again rising
and strength in her eyesight
She is finally seeing the world
With wide open eyes

Conquering the space
-Marisha Nath VIII-C
ldquoThere is no failure in Science it is only continual
effort to conquer the unknown On the way even if we
face failure it rather adds more value to our effort for
our next journey to know the unknownrdquo
Chandrayan-2 Indiarsquos Moon Mission The dream of
entire India to land on moon and become the 4th Na-
tion in the world to put its flag on the soil of moon
after USSR USA amp China
ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launched
Chandrayan-2 on 22nd July 2019 from Bengaluru
(Satish Dhawan Space Center) under the command of
ISRO chief K Shivan It consists of ORBITER
LANDER amp Lunar Rover PRAGYAN Like Chandra-
yan-1(22nd Oct2008) it was Indiarsquos indigenous moon
mission
It touched the Moon Surface on Saturday early morn-
ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-
ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-
ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of
moon it lost contact with the ground station Because
of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be
monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m
(approx) away from its assigned location near
SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still
orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange
signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it
The ORBITER which will remain active for another
12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-
owed portion of the moon for the first time in history
with the help of its high-resolution camera
The entire Nation irrespective of their field of
knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front
of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of
VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true
Indians who always dream progress and development
of their motherland But our heart never accepts this
as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement
for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-
pose of our mission
But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at
this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring
country quoting this as a big failure on part of India
blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos
money on this
Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will
be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to
this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other
nations on such missions
Further I should say that India is not new in the field
of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-
TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975
It was named after famous scientist of ancient India
ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested
for the first time the HELIOCENTRIC THEORY
(Sun at the center and all planets revolve around the
Sun) of the Solar System much earlier than ready for
New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 57
COPERNICUS as believed in the western world
Other countries might have moon on their flags but
we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is
great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are
whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-
rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is
only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the
unknown and its continual application for the benefit
of the mankind)rdquo
Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by
various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-
PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-
cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958
onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as
46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was
attempted out of which only 21 was successful
Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-
tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the
overall attempts conducted by other Nations
USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-
NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was
planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January
SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR
successfully on moon
NASA after many attempts was successful to send
first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th
July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk
on moon
Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-
clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-
SION MANGAL for our next moon mission

GLOBAL WARMING - Adhyant Singh VII-F
Global warming refers to the steady rise in the Earthrsquos mean temperature The effect of global
warming had come into sight when polar ice caps started melting this phenomena is called ICE ndash
ALBEDO the ice caps melt faster due to the rise in the temperature This sudden rise in the temperature near
the poles began in 1999 The polar ice caps in Antarctica melt at the rate of 400000000000 tons per year ac-
cording to some scientists it would approximately take 5000 years to melt the total ice on earth In 2013 Inter-
governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) stated that the main cause of Global warming is human inter-
vention like emission of Green house gases like Carbon-Di-Oxide nitrous oxide and methane
These gases trap the heat which is reflected by the Earthrsquos surface thus increasing the temperature and also
destroying the ozone layer which prevents the ultraviolet rays of the sun from reaching the earthrsquos surface Al-
so burning fossil fuel contributes to the problem Effects of global warming have also led to the increase in the
sea level and extreme weather like heat waves and change in the regional pattern of precipitation and the ex-
pansion of desserts A concentrated and focused effort by the entire humanity can curb down the impact of
Global warming and also prevent it Planting more trees to control the amount of carbon-di-oxide eliminating
the use of chlorofluorocarbon or (CFCrsquoS) are a few steps All the countries have signed up with the United Na-
tions Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to prevent the doomsday of Earth So to prevent
earthrsquos doomsday we all must work together
Itrsquos not too late there is still timehellipBefore the earth ends and we whinehellipSo keep on marching and planting
greens To end Global Warming and Make our planet greenhellip
What will happen without Instagram

Instagram Instagram Instagram
I was hearing it from everyone
I asked who was the inventor
Nobody knew the answer to my question
Mobiles Mobiles Mobiles
I was able to see them everywhere
I asked who was the inventor
Again nobody was aware
I wondered why was it like so
Why is it they donrsquot know
There was one time we were
engrossed in books
Now we care more about our looks
Instagram wonrsquot give you a job
You will have to study and top
Your fellow followers wonrsquot help either
If you donrsquot have a job no one will bother
I am a tree

I am a tree
With a dark green crown
And a thick strong trunk
Above the ground
I give you food
I give you fruits
I give you medicine
I give you wood
I need some sunlight
And some fresh air
I need some water
And your loving care

The Night - Matangi Rajesh VII-D
Its the night
The moon is white
When we switch off the light
What a beautiful sight
After this comes the sun bright
There is no more artificial light
This is the time to start your diet
To go for a run wearing tights
Then comes the evening when
you have snacks light
And fly a big colorful kite
or include your sibling in a pillow fight
Again comes the night
A moon which is white
We switch off the light
A beautiful sight
INDIArsquoS JOURNEY TOWARDDS TECHNOLOGY AND SPACE - Sakshi Shetty VII-J
A little known fact India today has end-to-end capabilities in space The country builds and launches its own
heavy duty rockets designs and fabricates some of the most sophisticated satellites In a singular achievement
Indiarsquos Mars Orbiter mission or Mangalyaan an unmanned satellite today racing to rendezvous with the red
planet making India a part of a select club of 6 that have dared to undertake the over 680 million kilometer
journey The Indian Space Research Organization ISRO is the Space Agency of Government of India head-
quartered in the city of Bengaluru Its vision is to ldquoharness space technology ldquofor na-
tional development while pursuing space science research and planter exploration
Some achievements of ISRO in 2017
Launching 104 satellites with one rocket
South Asia Satellite (GSAT- 9) launch
Launch of ISROrsquos Fat Boyrsquo
31 satellites in a single flight
Sending another communication satellite in the space
In 2009 Indians maiden mission to the moon Chandrayaan- 1 brought back the first clinching evidence of the
presence of water on the arched lunar surface In more down to the Earth missions Indian satellites are also
helping locate underground water aquifers for some of the poorest and marginal people of India In a way
Indiarsquos space technology is helping everyone

The Night - Matangi Rajesh VII-D
Its the night
The moon is white
When we switch off the light
What a beautiful sight
After this comes the sun bright
There is no more artificial light
This is the time to start your diet
To go for a run wearing tights
Then comes the evening when
you have snacks light
And fly a big colorful kite
or include your sibling in a pillow fight
Again comes the night
A moon which is white
We switch off the light
A beautiful sight
INDIArsquoS JOURNEY TOWARDDS TECHNOLOGY AND SPACE - Sakshi Shetty VII-J
A little known fact India today has end-to-end capabilities in space The country builds and launches its own
heavy duty rockets designs and fabricates some of the most sophisticated satellites In a singular achievement
Indiarsquos Mars Orbiter mission or Mangalyaan an unmanned satellite today racing to rendezvous with the red
planet making India a part of a select club of 6 that have dared to undertake the over 680 million kilometer
journey The Indian Space Research Organization ISRO is the Space Agency of Government of India head-
quartered in the city of Bengaluru Its vision is to ldquoharness space technology ldquofor na-
tional development while pursuing space science research and planter exploration
Some achievements of ISRO in 2017
Launching 104 satellites with one rocket
South Asia Satellite (GSAT- 9) launch
Launch of ISROrsquos Fat Boyrsquo
31 satellites in a single flight
Sending another communication satellite in the space
In 2009 Indians maiden mission to the moon Chandrayaan- 1 brought back the first clinching evidence of the
presence of water on the arched lunar surface In more down to the Earth missions Indian satellites are also
helping locate underground water aquifers for some of the poorest and marginal people of India In a way
Indiarsquos space technology is helping everyone

Hyperloop -Rochelle Ann Teddy IX-D
Human inventions have baffled the world They are
innumerable ranging from revolutionizing
smartphones to not-so-breathtaking ice cream cones
but they play a role in our life just the same The
things which are commonplace to us now were unbe-
knownst to people once upon a time For the people of
the 19th century the car was a thing of the future until
in 1885 Karl Benz ran his first car on the road Then
for centuries people took the prospect of of flying like
the birds as only a wild possibility which was made
possible in 1903 when the Wright Brothers flew the
first plane
What is the thing of the future for us Well we are the
future modifying and bettering the things that have
been made and crating stuff that we didnt even dare
to imagine about The Hyperloop fulfills both aspects
of the definition a very advanced model of our faith-
ful train and yet a brand new idea to scale greater
heights The Hyperloop is an ideal mode of efficient
transport Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane
with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing
speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt have to
ace the two types of friction that every other vehicle
has to face Air resistance and ground friction The
pods of the Hyperloop are propelled through a depres-
surized tub Since it is almost vacuum very little air
resistance can be offered inside the tube Due to this
the energy required to travel is also very less The Hy-
perloops unique technology uses magnetic levitation
to guide and lift the pods of the rail Since the pod is
not in contact with the ground there is no friction act-
ing on itThe first Hyperloop ndash virgin Hyperloop one
is set to run with passengers as early as 2021 and is
created by SpaceX and Tesla
The mastermind behind the Hyperloop is Elon Musk
who first published a 58 page white-paper on the web-
site of his company-Space X It was available to all
and was titled Hyperloop alpha The Hyperloop may
be the pioneer of a whole new era of transportation
traveling a distance which would otherwise take 12
hours in just I hour it has crossed all known bounda-
ries and created higher limits for us to reach and reach
we must for when time is money and money is time
an option that saves both needs to be used
Exams are good or bad -Nupoor Teli VIII
In my humble opinion exams are pressure on the stu-
dents They are forced to study and score good marks
which can lead to frustration An environment of com-
petitiveness of standing first is created for which stu-
dents keep on studying day and night without any rec-
reation It is good to study but not just for the sake of
gaining marks
Why do we study What is the main intention behind
education Seeking interesting and fascinating
knowledge as well as facts about the world But now-a
-days the main reason for studying is gaining marks
If there are no marks no career and no success This
is the mindset of 70 people of the world especially
parents They pressurize their children so much that
they get depressed or sometimes attempt suicide as
wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-
ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities
chapter test after every topic notebookfile submis-
sion etc And as cherry on top of the cake we have the
semester exams of eighty marks as well What all will
the students do And even if any extra-curricular ac-
tivities are being learnt then more extra studies Just
study study and study
Why so much of tension on the children Under this
tension only they start cheating As time passes cheat-
ing becomes a habit of their lifeI fell that exams
should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate
whether the students are clear with the concepts or
not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but
should be made understand their mistakes Let them
choose their own career options on their own Help
them know what they like to study and what they want
to do in their life So dont pressurize students for
what they dont like and encourage them in what they
do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the
country

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B
Life is all about interactions You meet people and
you interact You observe them consciously or sub-
consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us
more than we even realise Some people leave a last-
ing impression on us and entirely change the course of
life for better or for worse Some people influence us
help us go further and make all the difference
I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-
tial people They have taken care of me ever since I
came into this world They are the ones who wish the
best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-
cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel
no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-
come a part of my personality They are the ones who
helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me
to be better
When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are
the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-
takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique
learning experience It has made me realise how eve-
rything they do has a reason They are the ones who
have taught me the importance of the little things in
life They are the ones who have helped me recognize
and follow my passion The very thought of them not
being a part of my life is scary to the least as without
them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am
today and whatever I have achieved is all because of
them and I am very grateful of that
Eyesight
-Aditi Shenoy VIII-F
The tired little girl went to bed
Recollecting the days bygone
Seeing them in her dreams
As the day she was born
Trying to see the world
With her little eyes
But the sun with his brightness
Wouldnt let her catch the sights
The girl still eager
And curious to see the world around her
Again opened her eyes
But her vision was blurred
Still she did not lose hope
Which flowed through her blood
Encouraging and pushing her
To see the world further
Her heart beating fast
Her enthusiasm increasing
She slowly tried to see
With her eyes continuously blinking
Starting to lose hope
She was ready to give up
But curiosity got the upper hand
And pushed her forward
With her hope again rising
and strength in her eyesight
She is finally seeing the world
With wide open eyes

Conquering the space
-Marisha Nath VIII-C
ldquoThere is no failure in Science it is only continual
effort to conquer the unknown On the way even if we
face failure it rather adds more value to our effort for
our next journey to know the unknownrdquo
Chandrayan-2 Indiarsquos Moon Mission The dream of
entire India to land on moon and become the 4th Na-
tion in the world to put its flag on the soil of moon
after USSR USA amp China
ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launched
Chandrayan-2 on 22nd July 2019 from Bengaluru
(Satish Dhawan Space Center) under the command of
ISRO chief K Shivan It consists of ORBITER
LANDER amp Lunar Rover PRAGYAN Like Chandra-
yan-1(22nd Oct2008) it was Indiarsquos indigenous moon
mission
It touched the Moon Surface on Saturday early morn-
ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-
ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-
ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of
moon it lost contact with the ground station Because
of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be
monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m
(approx) away from its assigned location near
SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still
orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange
signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it
The ORBITER which will remain active for another
12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-
owed portion of the moon for the first time in history
with the help of its high-resolution camera
The entire Nation irrespective of their field of
knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front
of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of
VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true
Indians who always dream progress and development
of their motherland But our heart never accepts this
as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement
for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-
pose of our mission
But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at
this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring
country quoting this as a big failure on part of India
blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos
money on this
Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will
be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to
this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other
nations on such missions
Further I should say that India is not new in the field
of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-
TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975
It was named after famous scientist of ancient India
ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested
for the first time the HELIOCENTRIC THEORY
(Sun at the center and all planets revolve around the
Sun) of the Solar System much earlier than ready for
New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 57
COPERNICUS as believed in the western world
Other countries might have moon on their flags but
we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is
great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are
whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-
rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is
only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the
unknown and its continual application for the benefit
of the mankind)rdquo
Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by
various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-
PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-
cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958
onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as
46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was
attempted out of which only 21 was successful
Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-
tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the
overall attempts conducted by other Nations
USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-
NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was
planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January
SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR
successfully on moon
NASA after many attempts was successful to send
first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th
July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk
on moon
Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-
clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-
SION MANGAL for our next moon mission

possible in 1903 when the Wright Brothers flew the
first plane
What is the thing of the future for us Well we are the
future modifying and bettering the things that have
been made and crating stuff that we didnt even dare
to imagine about The Hyperloop fulfills both aspects
of the definition a very advanced model of our faith-
ful train and yet a brand new idea to scale greater
heights The Hyperloop is an ideal mode of efficient
transport Its heap and faster than a normal aeroplane
with a speed of 7000 miles per hour Its amazing
speed is due to two simple reasons It doesnt have to
ace the two types of friction that every other vehicle
has to face Air resistance and ground friction The
pods of the Hyperloop are propelled through a depres-
surized tub Since it is almost vacuum very little air
resistance can be offered inside the tube Due to this
the energy required to travel is also very less The Hy-
perloops unique technology uses magnetic levitation
to guide and lift the pods of the rail Since the pod is
not in contact with the ground there is no friction act-
ing on itThe first Hyperloop ndash virgin Hyperloop one
is set to run with passengers as early as 2021 and is
created by SpaceX and Tesla
The mastermind behind the Hyperloop is Elon Musk
who first published a 58 page white-paper on the web-
site of his company-Space X It was available to all
and was titled Hyperloop alpha The Hyperloop may
be the pioneer of a whole new era of transportation
traveling a distance which would otherwise take 12
hours in just I hour it has crossed all known bounda-
ries and created higher limits for us to reach and reach
we must for when time is money and money is time
an option that saves both needs to be used
Exams are good or bad -Nupoor Teli VIII
In my humble opinion exams are pressure on the stu-
dents They are forced to study and score good marks
which can lead to frustration An environment of com-
petitiveness of standing first is created for which stu-
dents keep on studying day and night without any rec-
reation It is good to study but not just for the sake of
gaining marks
Why do we study What is the main intention behind
education Seeking interesting and fascinating
knowledge as well as facts about the world But now-a
-days the main reason for studying is gaining marks
If there are no marks no career and no success This
is the mindset of 70 people of the world especially
parents They pressurize their children so much that
they get depressed or sometimes attempt suicide as
wellEvery two months an exam is conducted Moreo-
ver there are projects subject-enrichment activities
chapter test after every topic notebookfile submis-
sion etc And as cherry on top of the cake we have the
semester exams of eighty marks as well What all will
the students do And even if any extra-curricular ac-
tivities are being learnt then more extra studies Just
study study and study
Why so much of tension on the children Under this
tension only they start cheating As time passes cheat-
ing becomes a habit of their lifeI fell that exams
should be conducted once a term in order to evaluate
whether the students are clear with the concepts or
not They shouldnt be pressurized for their marks but
should be made understand their mistakes Let them
choose their own career options on their own Help
them know what they like to study and what they want
to do in their life So dont pressurize students for
what they dont like and encourage them in what they
do After allthey are only the Rising stars of the
country

The tired little girl went to bed
Recollecting the days bygone
Seeing them in her dreams
As the day she was born
Trying to see the world
With her little eyes
But the sun with his brightness
Wouldnt let her catch the sights
The girl still eager
And curious to see the world around her
Again opened her eyes
But her vision was blurred
Still she did not lose hope
Which flowed through her blood
Encouraging and pushing her
To see the world further
Her heart beating fast
Her enthusiasm increasing
She slowly tried to see
With her eyes continuously blinking
Starting to lose hope
She was ready to give up
But curiosity got the upper hand
And pushed her forward
With her hope again rising
and strength in her eyesight
She is finally seeing the world

Chandrayan-2 Indiarsquos Moon Mission The dream of
entire India to land on moon and become the 4th Na-
tion in the world to put its flag on the soil of moon
after USSR USA amp China
ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launched
Chandrayan-2 on 22nd July 2019 from Bengaluru

ISRO chief K Shivan It consists of ORBITER
LANDER amp Lunar Rover PRAGYAN Like Chandra-
yan-1(22nd Oct2008) it was Indiarsquos indigenous moon
mission
It touched the Moon Surface on Saturday early morn-
ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-
ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-
ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of
moon it lost contact with the ground station Because
of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be
monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m
(approx) away from its assigned location near
SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still
orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange
signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it
The ORBITER which will remain active for another
12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-
owed portion of the moon for the first time in history
with the help of its high-resolution camera
The entire Nation irrespective of their field of
knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front
of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of
VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true
Indians who always dream progress and development
of their motherland But our heart never accepts this
as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement
for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-
pose of our mission
But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at
this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring
country quoting this as a big failure on part of India
blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos
money on this
Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will
be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to
this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other
nations on such missions

It was named after famous scientist of ancient India

Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by

entire India to land on moon and become the 4th Na-
tion in the world to put its flag on the soil of moon
after USSR USA amp China
ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) launched
Chandrayan-2 on 22nd July 2019 from Bengaluru
(Satish Dhawan Space Center) under the command of
ISRO chief K Shivan It consists of ORBITER
LANDER amp Lunar Rover PRAGYAN Like Chandra-
yan-1(22nd Oct2008) it was Indiarsquos indigenous moon
mission
It touched the Moon Surface on Saturday early morn-
ing 7th Sept 2019 In its 15 minutes of landing sched-
ule 13 minutes went perfectly fine but at the last mo-
ment at a distance of 21 Km from the surface of
moon it lost contact with the ground station Because
of this the landing velocity of VIKRAM could not be
monitored and was forced to do hard landing at 500 m
(approx) away from its assigned location near
SOUTH POLE of the moon But the ORBITER is still
orbiting fine around the moon and trying to exchange
signal with VIKRAM whenever it is flying over it
The ORBITER which will remain active for another
12 months is now mapping the permanently shad-
owed portion of the moon for the first time in history
with the help of its high-resolution camera
The entire Nation irrespective of their field of
knowledge amp business spent a sleepless night in front
of TV with ISRO during its live monitoring of
VIKRAMrsquoS landing It was a big shock to us all true
Indians who always dream progress and development
of their motherland But our heart never accepts this
as a failure rather we consider it a great achievement
for us as we have succeeded in achieving 95 pur-
pose of our mission
But still few politically motivated traitorsrsquo mocks at
this and tweets online in tune with the neighboring
country quoting this as a big failure on part of India
blaming present Government for wasting countryrsquos
money on this
Feel sorry for their inadequate knowledge as all will
be surprised to know that the overall expenditure to
this mission is just 14th of the budget spent by other
nations on such missions
Further I should say that India is not new in the field
of Space Mission Indiarsquos first satellite ARYABHAT-
TA was sent long back into space on April 19 1975
It was named after famous scientist of ancient India
ARYABHATTA (476 AD- 550 AD) who suggested
for the first time the HELIOCENTRIC THEORY
(Sun at the center and all planets revolve around the
Sun) of the Solar System much earlier than ready for
New Horizon Public SchoolAiroli School Magazine 2019-20 IssueI Page No 57
COPERNICUS as believed in the western world
Other countries might have moon on their flags but
we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is
great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are
whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-
rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is
only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the
unknown and its continual application for the benefit
of the mankind)rdquo
Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by
various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-
PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-
cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958
onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as
46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was
attempted out of which only 21 was successful
Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-
tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the
overall attempts conducted by other Nations
USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-
NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was
planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January
SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR
successfully on moon
NASA after many attempts was successful to send
first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th
July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk
on moon
Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-
clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-
SION MANGAL for our next moon mission

Who influenced me and how - Aaryan aggarwal IX-B
Life is all about interactions You meet people and
you interact You observe them consciously or sub-
consciously and learn Mere observation teaches us
more than we even realise Some people leave a last-
ing impression on us and entirely change the course of
life for better or for worse Some people influence us
help us go further and make all the difference
I feel that in my life my parents are the most influen-
tial people They have taken care of me ever since I
came into this world They are the ones who wish the
best for me and want me to succeed no matter the cir-
cumstances They have taught me lessons that I feel
no one would ever teach Lessons that have now be-
come a part of my personality They are the ones who
helped me rise up from difficult times and inspired me
to be better
When I used to feel sorry over my mistakes they are
the ones who made me realise the importance of mis-
takes Every action of theirs is a new and unique
learning experience It has made me realise how eve-
rything they do has a reason They are the ones who
have taught me the importance of the little things in
life They are the ones who have helped me recognize
and follow my passion The very thought of them not
being a part of my life is scary to the least as without
them I would be quite lost and confused Where I am
today and whatever I have achieved is all because of
them and I am very grateful of that

The tired little girl went to bed
Recollecting the days bygone
Seeing them in her dreams
As the day she was born
Trying to see the world
With her little eyes
But the sun with his brightness
Wouldnt let her catch the sights
The girl still eager
And curious to see the world around her
Again opened her eyes
But her vision was blurred
Still she did not lose hope
Which flowed through her blood
Encouraging and pushing her
To see the world further
Her heart beating fast
Her enthusiasm increasing
She slowly tried to see
With her eyes continuously blinking
Starting to lose hope
She was ready to give up
But curiosity got the upper hand
And pushed her forward
With her hope again rising
and strength in her eyesight
She is finally seeing the world
With wide open eyes

COPERNICUS as believed in the western world
Other countries might have moon on their flags but
we Indians have our flag on the soil of moon That is
great and with this enthusiasm in our heart we are
whole ISRO team for this achievement and said cor-
rectly said ldquoThere is no failure in science there is
only prayas and prayog( honest effort to know the
unknown and its continual application for the benefit
of the mankind)rdquo
Numerous Space Missions has been undertaken by
various nations in the world like USA USSR JA-
PAN CHINA ISREAL etc All missions are not suc-
cessful Out of total 109 Moon missions from 1958
onwards only 61 missions are succeeded As many as
46 missions involving landing on lunar surface was
attempted out of which only 21 was successful
Hence our effort for the moon mission is only 2nd at-
tempt and so is not a failure on our part if we see the
overall attempts conducted by other Nations
USSR was the 1st to send the man-made object LU-
NA 2 to land on moon on 13 Sept 1959 but it was
planned for HARD LANDING In 1966 31st January
SOFT LANDING was done by LUNA 9 of USSR
successfully on moon
NASA after many attempts was successful to send
first manned mission on moon by Apollo 11 on 20th
July 1959 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk
on moon
Indiarsquos famous film actor Akshaya Kumar has de-
clared to donate his full profit from the movie MIS-
SION MANGAL for our next moon mission
