I am glad to greet you on the occasion of the release of

the second issue of the newsletter.

The future belongs to the young and it is the young who

create it. It was gratifying to note that we seek to excel

not only in academics but create a world of truth,

courage, justice and lofty aspirations. The newsletter

gives a preview of the activities and reflects the spirit

and achievements of the school.

I take this opportunity to offer my congratulations to all

the members of the faculty and the students for carving

a niche for themselves and maintaining high standards

of academic excellence among the committee of school

in the capital.

“ If you want to build a ship,

Don‟t herd people to gather wood,

Divide the work and give orders

Instead, teach them to yearn for

The vast and endless sea.”

TRIPS AND EXCURSIONS

Religious fervour and traditional gaiety marked the Janamashtmi celebrations in the

school. The students enthusiastically presented captivating folk dances. Their attires and

intricate moves transported the audience to „Brij‟-krishna‟s holy land. Our tiny tots spoke

of the significance of krishna‟s life and teachings. In all, the celebration was full of hues of

happiness as Shri Krishna himself was a manifestation of joy at all levels and in all walks of

life.

Children‟s day was celebrated on 13th November 2010 with zeal

and enthusiasm. A dance performance was staged by Maffiick

dance theatre group on the ground to teach different dance styles

like basic breaking, hip pop, basic jazz etc. The students were

enthralled to hear the melodious songs sung by the

teachers.

Investiture Ceremony While our school was emulating the leaders of the past and present on Independence

day on one hand, on the other hand, the “going-to-be-prefects” students were way

too excited for the duties and the posts they were going to be honoured with. The

school celebrated Independence Day as well as its Investiture Ceremony on 13th

August 2010. Mr. Ajay Kapur, Manager of the school graced the occasion as the

chief guest. The speeches, patriotic songs and dances reminded us of our great

leaders.

The Principal Ms. Alka Kapur administered the oath to the new students council. All

prefects pledged to do their duty with utmost sincerity and responsibility and

received their badges and certificates by the honourable chief guest. The Principal

congratulated the newly appointed students’ council and reminded them that it is

here that they have made a beginning to become future leaders and lead the nation

forward.

“Where the mind is without fear,

And the head is held high into

The heaven of freedom my Father,

Let my country awake.”

Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh unanimously proclaimed the

onion to be the winner. Why? Because, it had the quality of

maintaining the same smell and taste throughout it‟s life. The

quality of consistency is that we need to learn from it!

Lord Brahma blessed the onion with a beard just like his own!

THE KING OF FRUITS

The Indian rupee has got a unique symbol—a blend of the Devanagri „Ra‟ and Roman „R‟

joining elite currencies like the US Dollar, Euro, British Pound and Japanese Yen.

Uday D Kumar’s symbol was chosen after a public competition was held among resident

Indian citizens inviting entries for a symbol which “reflects and captures the Indian ethos

and culture”. India is the 6th country to get a symbol and we Indians are really proud of

our Rupee for getting a distinct identity like other currencies. This symbol would reflect the

strength and robustness of the Indian economy. Till now, the Indian currency was simply

denoted by Rs. Or INR. Soon our computer system‟s keyboard and software will replace Rs.

with the new symbol. Apoorv Vats

Mother you gave me ......

The courage to stand apart

Strength to make start

Patience to deal in

Smiles to be a better me

Vision to face fears

Cheers to wipe tears, Tears to let out my worries

You don’t know what you gave me

You are my whole world around me.

Kritika Chanana V D

DON”T QUIT

When the things get wrong as they sometimes will,

When the road you;re riding seems all uphill

When the funds are low and the debts are high

And you want to smile, but you have to sigh

When the care is pressing you down a bit,

Rest, if you must, but don‟t you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns

As everyone of us sometimes learns.

Don‟t give up though the pace seems slow

You may succeed with another blow.

Success is failure turned inside out

The silver tint of the clouds of doubt.

It may be near when it seems so far.

So stick to the fight when you are hardest hit.

It‟s when things seem worst that you must not quit. Shubham Thakur V D

Just clicking buttons to have their work done.

Are we heading towards our end? ?

Globalwarming, which is a gradual increase in planet-wide

temperatures, is now well documented and accepted by scientists as a fact. This

warming is largely attributed to the increase of greenhouse gases in the Earth’s

upper atmosphere caused by human burning of fossil fuels, industrial, farming and

deforestation. It has been found out the carbon dioxide is 30% higher than any time in 6,50,000 years.

Methane is 130% higher than any time in this period. Carbon dioxide emission is rising 200 times faster

than any time in this period. US scientists say that in the last 150 years, sea levels have been rising

twice as fast as in previous centuries.

Average global temperatures may increase by 1.4-5.8°c by the end of the 21st century. In Tibet, the ice

records indicate that the last 50 years have been the warmest in 1,000 years. This temperature rise can

trigger significant changes in the climate. Besides resulting in hotter days, many scientists believe an

increase in temperatures may lead to changes in precipitation and weather patterns. Warmer ocean

water may result in more intense and frequent tropical storms and hurricanes.

The famous Indian river, the Ganges is beginning to run dry because the glacier from which the river

gets it’s water is shrinking at a rate of 34 meters a year, twice as fast as two decades ago. It is

estimated that the glacier could disappear by 2030. This may result in the rise of the sea level by

0.09-0.88m in the next century, mainly from melting glaciers and expanding seawater. Global warming

may also affect wildlife and species that cannot survive in warmer environment so they may become

extinct. Finally, human health is also at stake, as global warming may result in the spreading of malaria,

the flooding of major cities, a greater risk of heat stroke for individuals. And poor air quality.

Just one question in the end - Are we heading towards our end?? By- Niti Jain IX-B

How to manage time to manage your life

All of us have the same amount of time. There are only 24 hours in a day and nothing more. It is

rightly said that a busy man finds time for everything while a lazy man will not find time for

anything. The difference is only that one manages time well while the other mismanages time.

Success or failure depends on the way we use time. In our day to day life there are several

occasions when one can use slipping minutes of time by proper planning. The moment you begin

to effectively use your time and organize yourself, you will be surprised at the number of activities

you could fit in a day and yet have ample leisure time foe relaxing. When you develop the art of

using every minute diligently and wisely in reading, you would be acquiring day by day. This will

also develop your mental skills for better prospects in future. So my advice to you all,

Use your time to do what you like the best. It will give pleasure and profit . it is never too late to

make use of your time usefully, effectively and wisely for all we know that-time and tide never

wait for any one….. Sugandha priya XI-A

A poisonous tree

I was angry with my friend,

I told my wrath, my wrath did end

I was angry with my foe

I told it not, my wrath did grow.

And I watered it in fears,

Night and morning with my tears

And I sunned it with smiles

And with soft deceitful wiles.

And it grew both day and night,

Till it bore an apple bright

And my foe beheld it shine

And he knew that it was mine.

And into my garden stole,

When the night had veiled the pole

In the morning glad I see

My foe outstretched beneath the tree.

WHO WILL CRY

If I tonight I die

Who will cry?

Strangers with their feigned interest

While those I love have turned away

And if my best isn’t good enough

What more can I give?

Go ahead-walk away

Just leave me here alone

And if tonight I die,

Who will cry?

And my strength is drained

With nothing left to give

Drowning in the depth of sorrow

No tears left to cry

A silent voice and distant eyes

That no one hears and sees

India is a land of festivity- religious as well as

folkloristic.

Indians love celebrating every little occasion from the harvesting of crops, welcoming the spring or rain, to seeing the full moon and lends itself to joyous celebrations, splashed with colours, music, folk dances and songs. Even the birthdays of divine beings are

celebrated by connecting them with particular festivals.

Christmas is round the corner and I feel it is the perfect time to spread joy and cheer along with making

resolutions for the New Year.

Merry Christmas and a happy new year..
