From the Publication Team…...

There is a lot of talent around the globe, but not all of them are recognized. All of

them might not get a chance. But in BRS the school has formed the editorial body

to bring out the talents in the school. Every month the student link comes up with

the talents of the students in BRS and the new editorial members would like to

thank our Principal ,Vice-Principal, supervisors and teachers for us giving us this

wonderful opportunity .This will once again be an example of what the Editorial

Team always believes, “Creativity is the greatest expression of liberty”.

DRIVE SAFELY

It’s important to drive safely

Avoid injuries and stay alive

Watch the lanes, not to take the speed

Cops will come if it is exceed.

When we drive and try to text

A serious accident could be next

Keep your eyes on the road

Check the signals, displayed on board.

While driving think of others

Don’t drink and drive for sake of mothers

Always follow the safety rules

It’s giving u life not making u fool

Many on road like the old and children

Drivers must watch both road and pedestrians

Safety rules in book are not a fake

PALACE OF PALACETINA

CHAPTER 2 - THE DINNER PARTY Only one more day left. Days are going really fast. In the afternoon (2:00), Alice’s best friend, Jeena, called up. And asked whether Alice was going for Stena’s dinner-party. Alice told her bestie that she was going for it. She told her that only her mother agreed and still she didn’t ask her father about it. Jeena asked Alice, if suppose Alice was going for the dinner-party, then to pick her up at 6:00 pm. Dad had no objections to pick Alice and Stena. It was already 6:00 pm and Mr. Skyler still did not pick Alice to Stena’s house. Alice was a bit late for the party. Her mom called her, informing that it was already 6:00. Alice came down-stairs wearing a beautiful pink frock. It was very shiny! Alice: “Dad, I am ready, let’s go!” Dad picked her up in a red awesome Ferrari car! They reached Jeena’s house. In front of the house, there stood a girl with a long nice white hair. She wore a blue dress, who looked like Cinderella. The girl waved her hand to Alice. She sat in the car, and started talking all about the last day of the school and the fun that they had on that day. Jeena was ready for the next session of the year, but Alice wasn’t, because she will not be with her best friend from next day onwards. They reached Stena’s house by the time Jeena was talking about next year in the school. Alice bid good bye to her father. Stena’s mother opened the door and welcomed both in. They saw Stena wearing a nice beautiful dress. Stena: Good evening girls! Alice: “Hi” Jeena: “Hello” Stena welcomed both inside the hall. There Alice and Jeena saw two more people invited, one was a girl and the other was a boy. Alice rec-ognised the girl but she didn’t know who the boy was. Then, Stena in-troduced them .

STORY

Stena: “This is Minny (the girl), and I think you would have seen her in our school, one of the popular girls!” Jeena: “I see” Stena: “This is Tim (the boy), he is one of my neighbours and proba-bly you would have never seen him before, because he has just shift-ed his house this week.” As soon as Alice heard the words SHIFT and the word HOUSE, she wanted to tell Jeena about the shift. They both sat in a corner of the hall. Alice thought it was a good time to talk to Jeena about the shift…. Alice: “Hmmmm…. Jeena, I want to tell this to you, that…. I am shift-ing to Palacetina and I think so, this will be our last meet.” Jeena: “I have heard of PALESTINE but what kind of place is PALACETINA” Alice: “I don’t know” Jeena: “Its ok! We will talk to each other in phone, ok?” Alice: “I wish to. I think this whole one month my family will be busy in Palacetina.” Jeena: “Its fine! If you are my bestie, then you would never forget me! Jeena is a girl, who always don’t take many things seriously. She says for everything “its ok!”. She gets neither surprised nor angry for any-thing at any time. This is one of the reasons why Alice likes Jeena. After a while, the dinner was served. Jeena and Alice liked it a lot. The girls were gossiping and giggling a lot! And then Stena took them to a room and said, it was her room. Stena, Alice, Jeena, Minny and Tim had a lot of fun. They also played cards and some other board games. They had a good talk. Alice told Stena that she really had a lot of fun in her house and, also liked her mother’s food. Stena was very glad to hear this! Jeena too thanked Stena for inviting her for the party.

Later Alice called her father and asked him to pick her up. Al-

ice also asked whether Jeena was coming with her, but Jeena

told her that her mother was picking her up. Alice bid a last

good-bye to her friends. She was missing Jeena so much. She

thought she would never see her again. With an upset mind,

Alice went back to sleep last night in Morocus. She had

worst dreams that night, she dreamt as if she was leaving her

friend in some danger. But that was not true, because, it was

not her friends whom she dreamt in danger, but it was actu-

ally, herself and her brother, who were going to be in dan-

ger……….

RAMADAN

THE HOLY MONTH

Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar. It be-

gins upon the visual sighting of the last full moon of the year and

lasts 29 or 30 days, depending on the year. The holiday of Eid al-

Fitr marks the end of Ramadan and the beginning of the next lu-

nar month .

The Purpose of Ramadan

Ramadan is intended originated as an observation of the first rev-

elation of the Qur'an to Prophet Mohammed. During the

blessed month of Ramadan, Muslims all over the world abstain

from all food, drink, and other physical needs during the daylight

hours (such as smoking ). But Ramadan is much more than just

not eating and drinking: it is a time to purify the soul, refocus at-

tention on God and practice self-discipline and sacrifice.

https://www.thoughtco.com/ramadan-information-2004625

The Practice Fasting during the month of Ramadan is considered one

of the 5 Pillars of Islam--the five activities that shape a

Muslim's life. Prayer occurs on a daily basis; pilgrimage

to Mecca (Makka) is done once in a lifetime; charity

and professing one's faith are both ongoing. Fasting for

the month of Ramadan is an annual observance; every

year, Muslims take an entire month out of their lives to

observe this strict fast and rededicate themselves to

worship and faith. Muslims are called upon to use this month to re-

evaluate their lives in light of Islamic guidance. We are to make peace with those who have wronged

us, strengthen ties with family and friends, do away with

bad habits--essentially to clean up our lives, our

thoughts and our feelings. The Arabic word for

"fasting" literally means "to refrain"--and it means not

only refraining from food and drink, but also from evil

actions, thoughts and words. The physical effects of the fast are felt by Muslims as a

reminder of those who suffer throughout the year--

those who are poor, homeless, refugees--and who can-

not meet their basic needs. It reminds Muslims not to

be wasteful and to feel empathy for those who face

hunger on a daily basis. We should feel gratitude for the

bounties of Allah: clean water, sufficient healthy food,

the comfort of a home and the health of our family

members. There are so many in the world who must

survive without these basic needs, and Ramadan is a

time for us to give thanks and reaffirm our commitment

to helping those in need. During Ramadan, every part of our bodies must be re-

strained. The tongue must be restrained from backbiting

and gossip.

During Ramadan, every part of our bodies must be re-

strained. The tongue must be restrained from backbiting and

gossip. The eyes must restrain themselves from looking at un-

lawful things. The hand must give in charity and not touch or

take anything that does not belong to it. The ears must refrain

from listening to idle talk or obscene words. The feet must

refrain from going to sinful places. In such a way, every part of

the body observes the fast.

Therefore, fasting is not merely physical but is rather the to-

tal commitment of the person's body and soul to the spirit of

the fast. Ramadan is a time to practice self-restraint; a time to

cleanse the body and soul from impurities and re-focus one's

self on the worship of God and charity to mankind.

ANSWERS

1. Explanation: The first person shook hands with 11 remaining peo-

ple, the second person also shook hands with 11 people, but we

count 10, as the hand shake with the first person has already been

counted. Then add 9 for the third person, 8 for the fourth one &

proceeding in this fashion we get: 11 + 10 + 9 + 8 + 7 + 6 + 5 + 4

+ 3 + 2 + 1 = 66.

Hence 66 hand shakes took place before & 66 after the meeting,

for a total of 132.

2. Explanation: The first person shook hands with 11 remaining

people, the second person also shook hands with 11 people, but we

count 10, as the hand shake with the first person has already been

counted. Then add 9 for the third person, 8 for the fourth one & pro-

ceeding in this fashion we get: 11 + 10 + 9 + 8 + 7 + 6 + 5 + 4 + 3 +

2 + 1 = 66.

Hence 66 hand shakes took place before & 66 after the meeting, for a

total of 132.

3. A. Explanation: On logical interpretation of the given statements one can

arrive at the following conclusion:

A>B>E>D>C in order of decreasing weight. Hence C is the lightest of all

the given fishes.

B. Explanation: On logical interpretation of the given statements one can arrive

at the following conclusion:

A>B>E>D>C in order of decreasing weight. Hence C is the lightest of all the

given fishes.

4. Explanation: 6,12,1,13,5 each number in the break up signifies the corre-

sponding letter in the alphabet. (viz. 6->f, 12->l...etc.)

Similarly 2,12,15,1,20 which signifies bloat.

5. Explanation: As forest houses several trees, a tree has many leaves. Branch-

es is a close choice but it is incorrect as all tress do not have branches.
