A man with a vision and a true believer of the phrase ‘nothing is impossible’,

our respectable soul Babuji, started his journey with an illuminous master plan

and filled everyone’s heart with a zeal to create history by continuously evolving

and providing top quality education. His dedication and positive attitude helped

him brave all the odds and establish an education empire that today is at its

pinnacle. The insightful ideas of administration uprooted from his brain resulted

in the brand- Kothari Enterprise.

Namaskar!

My heartiest congratulations to the KIS team for the second edition

of its spectacular E-Magazine ‘PARAMPARA – Mirroring Our

Cultural Ethos.’ As Chairperson of this venerable institution, it is a

matter of great pride for me to witness our exemplary student body

and remarkable teachers flourish in the flesh, having facilitated a

seamless transition back to offline school. This wonderful

demonstration of resilience and diligence is only highlighted by yet

another successful publication of this E-Magazine.

This past year, the school, as a collective, has been working

tirelessly to undo the repercussions of the pandemic and dedicated

ourselves to restoring the normalcy of offline schooling. Last year,

as we traversed a murky deluge of despondency, as managed to

look past the dense cumulonimbi of isolation towards a glorious

dawn of effervescence, we found within ourselves unprecedented

tenacity and strength. It is now our intention to harness these

newfound abilities and work towards a better tomorrow. After all,

the very essence of a storm is that you emerge out of it as a

changed person.

If there’s one thing KIS has strived to maintain throughout these

countless years- it’s the well-being of its students. This has and will

continue to be, the heart of the school. It is this reverberating heart

that fuels the school to push itself further towards perfection and

success, and that makes me proud to be its Chairperson and

confident in the school’s ability to produce leaders worthy of Ma

Bharat.

By materializing their creativity and passion into this concrete,

tangible venture under the guidance of their zealous Gurus, our

student body serves as a testament to the undying ideal of Acta,

Non-Verba - deeds, not words.

They have proven, time and time again, that the pen is indeed

mightier than the sword.

This endeavor is a mere drop in an inexhaustible ocean of

achievement. Our students continue to hoist the school flag

higher with every accomplishment, unfurling the pulchritudinous

Kotharian hues for the world to see.

The school had succeeded in not only satiating the youth’s

unquenchable thirst for knowledge but also in equipping its

students holistically with the skills they need to be global leaders.

KIS is undeniably on the rise as a paragon of modern education.

Lastly, I extend the sincerest of my gratitude to the parents who

have entrusted us with their children and aided us in molding

them into capable and worthy individuals. I, once again,

congratulate the Editorial Team, whose hard work and dedication

have led to the fruition of this E-Magazine. As you peruse

through this publication, you will find a plethora of activitiesacademic and otherwise, that our students and staff poured their

blood, sweat, and tears into. I appreciate every individual effort

that has lent to creating a beautiful mosaic of our school at its

finest.

Here’s to immortalize the unassailable Kotharian spirit of holistic

prowess. Looking forward to another year of brilliance.

Godspeed!

Yours Sincerely

Aarti Kothari

Namaskar to all!

In the sagacious words of Swami Vivekananda, “Education is the

manifestation of the perfection already in man.” I would like to

commence by eulogizing the industrious team at Kothari

international school, Noida, for creating a praiseworthy

amalgamation of events taking place at our school. My heart is

brimming with gratitude and joy to enunciate that our prestigious

and eminent institution has completed 17 years of sheer academic

excellence and the furtherance of qualities like confidence and

diligence in our students, ensuring that they grow in an

environment devoid of encumbrances.

Here at Kothari international, we robustly believe that every child

possesses the ability and right to learn. We as a community, deem

study and knowledge as a duty but also an enticing opportunity to

learn the extricating influence of academic wisdom for personal use

and for use in daily life thereafter.

I fondly remember those halcyon times with my late father, Shri

MM Kothari, without whose contribution and undying avidity to

prove himself, everything would have just remained a fragment of

mine as well as his vision. Today, this school serves as an accolade

and symbol of the onerous endeavors of my father. The KIS family

is burgeoning constantly, striving to make education allencompassing and inclusive, a concept not alien and a practice that

is accessible to all students. The implicit promise of The KIS has

always been a metamorphic education, rooted in the highest

standards and enriched by the opportunity to learn in the best

settings.

May you all continue to scale greater to indomitable heights of

brilliance. Lastly, I would love to avail this opportunity to extend

my gratification toward the KIS franchise and the hardworking

faculty without whom learning would be unattainable.

My best wishes to all the teachers and students. Keep making

us proud!

Warm regards

Namaskar to all!

Kothari International School, Noida, is a school that should be on the radar of any parent looking for prime education for their children.

Since its establishment, the school has accumulated a reputation for excellence and has consistently ranked among the top schools in the

region. One of the things that set us apart is our commitment to a well-rounded education. We offer a plethora of extracurricular

activities, including music, dance, art, sports, and much more to give students the opportunity to pursue their passions and develop new

skills. These activities are a salient part of our philosophy, as they help students grow as individuals and become brilliant, confident young

people.

Despite the recent pandemic, in addition to our regular extracurricular activities, we also hosted several noteworthy events throughout the

year that allow students to explore their interests and blossom new skills. We recently hosted an Inter School event, Ingenious. It included

various activities such as gaming tournaments, Model United Nations (MUN) simulations, and photography workshops. These events

provided students with the opportunity to engage in activities that they may not have had the chance to explore in their everyday lives and

helped foster creativity, innovation, and real-life skills.

We have a strong focus on community service and encourage our students to get involved in local and global service projects. This not only

helps students develop a sense of responsibility and compassion for others but also instills in them a sense of active engagement in

society. Along with special events, this year Kothari International School introduced a brand new Prefectorial Board and Kothari Clubs. I

have had the pleasure of being a part of this community for many years now, and I have been consistently impressed by the level of care

and attention that both the school administration and the staff have provided to its students.

Looking forward to opening up new, bold ventures under the magnificent umbrella of opportunity - Kothari International School.

Yours Sincerely

“We want the education by which character is formed, the strength of mind is increased, the

intellect is expanded and by which one can stand on one’s own feet.” - Swami Vivekananda

Dear Parents

Namaskar!

Effective teaching is about involving students not only in their learning journey but also in talking to them about their well-being, helping

them develop their skills, and incorporating values-oriented processes. In a similar way, the core value of KIS targets the holistic growth of

a learner which is true to what Swami Vivekananda Ji believed by quoting the above idea of education. It wouldn’t be superfluous to say

that our teaching fraternity’s meticulously paving the way to achieve the same.

This second edition of Parampara will enlighten you with the important milestones that KIS has achieved in the past year. Besides, our

budding talents have expressed their thoughts, ideas, hopes, feelings, aspirations, and convictions in a creative way. We believe that in

parallel to academic excellence, our students should be coaxed, encouraged, and persuaded to hone their writing & speaking skills. In the

context of the same, we, here at KIS incessantly strive to bring out their full potential by giving them a platform for both extracurricular

and co-curricular activities.

Our STEAM quest ‘Ingenious’ proved to be one of them that gave wings to our talented students‘ innovation and creativity. We

endeavored to unite the 4Cs of 21st-century skills by evolving the sheer dexterity of our coming generation in order to make them future

technocrats.

I believe that every step that we undertake in our personal and professional life should adhere to perfectionism and excellence. At the

same time feelings of love, compassion for mankind and a positive attitude should vibrate within our hearts.

I can firmly say that every learner at Kothari International School, under the vision of our Honourable Founder Chairman, Late Shri MM

Kothari, is a lovable soul enriched with the nobility of character, magnanimity, self-discipline and is driven by outstanding qualities pinned

to dig out greater changes for a better world.

Let’s dare to live the life we have dreamt of, go forward, and make our imaginations come true through these beautiful minds’

masterpieces!

Dear Students,

As we embark on a new academic year, I want to talk to you about two important concepts: working hard and embracing change. Both are

essential if you want to achieve excellence and succeed in life. Working hard means putting in the effort and time to achieve your goals. It

means going the extra mile, studying hard, and practicing until you get it right. It also means being committed to your pursuits, and never

giving up in the face of adversity or challenges.

However, hard work alone is not enough. To truly excel in life, you must also embrace change. This means being open to new ideas, new

experiences, and new ways of doing things. It means being adaptable and flexible, and willing to learn and grow from your mistakes. The

world around us is constantly changing, and it is important to stay ahead of the curve.

By embracing change and innovation, you can gain a competitive edge in todays fast-paced and ever-changing world. As your Vice

Principal, I urge you to work hard and embrace change. Remember that success is not just about achieving high grades or winning

competitions.

It is about being a well-rounded individual who is adaptable, resilient, and open to new ideas and experiences. So, as you begin this new

academic year, I challenge you to set high goals, work hard to achieve them, and embrace change along the way. With dedication,

perseverance, and a willingness to embrace change, I have no doubt that you will achieve excellence and make a positive impact in the

world.

Dear Readers

Greetings to you!

Our delight knows no bounds when we present to you the Second Edition of our school’s Annual Magazine, ‘Parampara: Mirroring our

Cultural Ethos’. Parampara is the initiative of our endearing Principal, Dr. Sangeeta Arora, a seasoned scholar and visionary who aspires to

make a difference in the field of education and fathom new opportunities and avenues for students and teachers to identify their talents

and excel in their preferred provinces.

Through the medium of this magazine, we aim to exhibit our students’ and staff members’ creative flair, our unique methodologies and

approaches to teaching, our achievements, and our novel endeavors. Parampara is the outcome of our continuous efforts and perennial

teamwork. After two long years of online schooling, students made the most of their presence in a physical school. They participated in

Intra and Inter School, and National, and International Events with great gusto and fervor, and won laurels for the school and themselves.

Physical schooling indeed tends to be a contributive factor for us to subtly gather evidence of our profound teaching practices and tangible

learning outcomes. The making of Parampara is a year-long process in which the entire school works in conjunction with bonhomie and

dedication. Parampara's core team comprises Editors, Student Editorial Board, Subject Representatives, Section Representatives,

Designing Team, and our students and teachers.

They all contribute to its successful culmination. We acknowledge their devotedness and adherence to the plan of action for making this

monumental journey of Parampara effortlessly ecstatic.

We once again welcome you to delve into the mesmerizing world of KIS and rejoice at every flip!

Happy Reading!

Being a student editor for Kothari International School, Noida’s magazine is a

tremendously prestigious opportunity. Being a part of the editorial team was

highly enriching and enjoyable. The skills learned from working with people

having such beautiful minds and an abundance of knowledge are going to lend

themselves to me for a future life of writing. I am exceptionally grateful to have

had the opportunity to write a main editorial piece in this year’s edition of

‘Parampara’.

In the words of the very well-known and venerable author, Helen Keller,

“Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much”

Each and every word of the quote mentioned above holds depths of veracity.

As a student editor, working on this magazine has been quite a daunting yet unforgettable

journey. I would like to appreciate the endeavours of all the students and teachers which were

poured into putting this laudable magazine

together. The completion of this magazine proffered the editorial team a prodigious amount of

satisfaction and allowed the whole team to work cohesively to achieve our objective.

Writing for the E-Magazine was certainly a journey like none other. Through it

all, it paved a path for me to grow- not merely as a writer, but as a human. At

its culmination, I’ve found within myself a more articulate and discerning person.

I cannot express in words the sheer volume of gratitude I hold for this

opportunity. Manya Giri Nishad

EB: Namaskar Ma’am

We are proud to have you as our Principal. Few lines for you…

You nurture us when we’re just tender green plants,

And help us bloom from little buds into brilliant flowers,

You immerse us in your boundless transcendent love,

You teach us to rise and access our inner powers.

You bring light, color, and happiness to all those who encounter you,

You’re like a guardian angel always looking out for us,

We can feel your love in the gentle breeze,

You’re our inspiration, always encouraging us to seize our dreams!

Principal: Thank you all of you.

EB: Ma’am, How has your experience been at the KIS so far?

Principal: I joined during COVID and trust me, things were not easy but every challenge comes with a hidden opportunity and it is our

wisdom and patience that helps us to extract the best out of that. I was able to meet the teachers only once in person during an

introductory meeting. The physical absence impeded me from building that connection with everyone on an emotional level. When the

school reopened, that was the time I could feel the development of an emotional relationship between the children and me. Now when

that synergy and emotional connection is finally there, things have become easier. I feel blessed and proud to be there in the family.

E.B: Ma’am, we are eager to know, What is your educational philosophy?

Principal: In my opinion, most of the time in India, we deem education to be a consumption process. For me, education equals the

upliftment of the soul alongside the broadening of our horizons to polish skills and expertise in the field of education. Education should

not be looked upon as a commercial process but rather as a way to find one’s aspirations and true self. Getting an education may or may

not land you a job in a prominent company but it surely will soothe your soul and make you a benevolent and humble human being.

E.B: Ma’am, what is the one major challenge that you managed to overcome as a principal and in retrospect learned a lot from?

Principal: Every day is a learning experience. Every case is a new case and every human being has different kinds of issues and problems.

Dealing with it is a learning experience. Every day we try to improve the way that we function by learning from everything which is

happening on a day-to-day basis.

COFFEE WITH OUR PRINCIPAL, DR SANGEETA ARORA

An interview by Chhavi Singh, Lipika Pandey, Akshita & Shreyas Mathur

P:13

Every interaction with a child or a teacher or a parent is a learning experience for me.

E.B: Ma’am, do you believe that stricter rules or harsher punishment will stop substance abuse activities in schools?

Principal: The first thing students need to understand is that for every action, there will be consequences. I believe the only thing that is a

deterrence to any kind of undesirable action including substance abuse is the awareness of the consequences attached to it. For example,

if you touch an extremely hot vessel your hand will burn. That burn is not punishment but a consequence. Whether you touched it

intentionally or unintentionally, you will face the consequence. We need to educate the children to become more mindful of their

surroundings and their company and help them to deal with peer pressure. They should know that there is always an option for them to

say no to any wrongdoing anybody asks them to do.

E.B: Ma’am, what makes a safe learning environment, how do you ensure to establish that safe learning environment for the campus?

Principal: A safe learning environment is focused on academic achievement, maintaining high standards, fostering positive relationships

between staff and students, and encouraging parental and community involvement. Resolving conflict and preventing violence are

important factors in creating a safe learning environment. In my opinion, it is crucial to educate students on empathy, kindness, and

positive culture. We allow students to be openly expressive and encouraging to each other. Constant feedback is vital for the learners as it

helps them in tracking their progress and in changing their learning strategy accordingly. It helps them recognize their weak areas while

improving their developed skills. Feedback informs the learners where they are missing the mark and what is needed to be done.

“Rivers give us life, they help us prosper and flourish”

We worship and pay homage to our rivers. But our rivers are getting contaminated with litter by careless citizens. Our holy river Ganga is

one such victim due to lack of empathy. The Government is taking measurable steps to combat the pollution of the rivers, under the

Ganga Action Plan.

We kotharians have also stepped up to make this change possible by creating awareness through various activities on the precious river

highlighting the need of the hour to save the river bodies as they are the lifeline of the nation.

It was a great success as the students participated enthusiastically in each activity. With these activities the students were sensitised

about the need to conserve and protect our water resources.

India is one of the countries where child marriages can be seen a lot. Child marriage in India mostly takes place in Rajasthan, West

Bengal, and Bihar. It happens because of poverty, community pressure, so-called ‘protection’ for young girls, customs, and social norms.

A Child Marriage Restraint Act was passed in 1929, which said that no man below the age of 18 and no woman below the age of 16

could get married. Later on, these limits increased to 21 and 18 respectively. Child marriage leads to maternal death, as young girls are

not physically or mentally prepared to give birth at a very young age. If they are able to give birth, more than half of the infants die.

Young girls experience domestic violence and even get post-traumatic stress because of this.

In the words of Aditya Biswal, ‘Stop killing childhood by child marriage and start educating your children’. Child marriage is taking a

child’s childhood and making them a part of something they are not ready for. Child marriage negatively influences children’s rights to

health and protection. To stop child marriage, we should educate orthodox families and make them realise how child marriage is

detrimental to the future of any nation.

We can end child marriage together by making people aware of this hideous practice. Steps can be taken by the public and the

government to insure that child marriage is stopped, so that children do not lose their childhood and can blossom in the future.

“Pets are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole” in the words of Roger Caras. It stands true. Pets are our true companions

and stay with us no matter what. They do make our lives whole indeed. Interacting with animals helps lower blood pressure, reduce

anxiety, and decrease depression. They can comfort and ease our worries. If anyone ever feels lonely, they should get a pet!

Pets give us unconditional love and companionship. Getting a pet would be something nobody would ever regret; in fact, it can be one of

the best decisions that one takes. There’s nothing like coming home after a tiring day and spending time with an adorable pet who is

equally thrilled and excited to play with you. The quality time you could have with a pet- snuggling on your couch, teaching it tricks,

taking it on walks, is just priceless!

Although pets are one of the most unique, little, tiny, furry friends, managing and taking care of them is a whole new world! Getting a

pet would add up to your living expenses because it requires buying basic things like- food, a bed, toys, treats, and much more. And of

course, getting a pet would also require pet-proofing the surroundings. Bringing a pet into a family is like carrying a child into a family,

so proper care is required to ensure the pet feels safe and happy.

Pets are a gift of nature and a great blessing in anyone's life. They can give you the best time of your life as they can be your best

friends and sidekick for life. “A house is never lonely where a loving pet awaits”.

Education makes a person mentally, socially and intellectually strong by strengthening knowledge and experience. Education is as

important as air, food and housing for both men and women. Depriving girls of education is wrong and unjust. A girl is no less than a

boy in intelligence and perseverance. She deserves rights to equal opportunities.

According to the 2011 census, the male literacy rate is 82.14% and the female literacy rate is only 65.46% in India. These statistics

certainly reveal the kind of discrimination that girls face. Girls in India are considered a burden on parents by some people. People think

that investing in a boy's education would be more beneficial than investing on a girl child, since they will marry and go to another house.

Girls are considered as housemakers and inefficient workers outside the confines of their houses. That is the reason they are taught how

to cook and do household chores instead of educating them and making them self-reliant.

Girls education must be given paramount importance. Fortunately, government schemes, such as Sarva Shiksha Abhiyaan , CBSE

scholarship to single girl child and the policy of giving free education to girls have come as a boon to our society. Given the opportunity

girls have proven that they are capable of performing better than boys or as good as them and achieving great heights and becoming

successful. As on date, our current President, Droupadi Murmu, Indra Nooyi (Former CEO of PepsiCo), Leena Nair (Global CEO of Chanel),

Vineeta Singh (CEO of sugar cosmetics), Kiran Bedi (first Indian female IPS officer) have made us all proud.

It is rightly said ,\"If you educate a man, you educate a person, but if you educate a woman, you educate the whole family and the

nation.\"

Don’t Deprive Daughters

It’s hard to fathom out which age or era, human beings’ belief in orthodoxy dates back to, but we have seen man perpetually believe in

some kind of power unseen. Even though they can’t see it, they feel its presence. This is what gives rise to superstitions. They are

unreasonable and irrational but they exist all over the world. I personally believe that if superstitions enter our brains, our ability to

rationalize goes for a toss. It means if we start following superstitions, we end up losing all knowledge and logic.

India has a long history of superstitions. There are many superstitions that people in this country follow: when someone sneezes during

the time of departure, people consider it unlucky. Similarly, when you hear a long mewing of a cat, people consider it a bad omen.

Contrarily, offering curd before the start of any journey is taken as an auspicious practice.

If we take a look at a very common superstitious belief that 13 is an unlucky number. Well, I do not agree, because the K-POP group BTS

did their debut in 2013. Now, you might be thinking ‘OMG,2013! They must have failed miserably, after all, 13 isn’t an auspicious

number’, but let me tell they are the most popular Korean boy band in the world.

If we look at it closely, there is no logic as such behind the beliefs in superstitions. However, they have grown age-old and despite all the

scientific advancements, they are not going anywhere soon. Nevertheless, it is better to not base our lives on these.

The little paw-prints, the same paws that paddle around your house, the prints of happiness

and love. A dog is known as the most loyal, trustworthy and loving species of animal beings.

Every morning when you wake up, slightly open your sleepy eyes, your subconscious trying to

lift the heavy eyelids little by little as you overcome the slumber and look at a face. A face

that just enlightens your day, your time and your life. One glance at those lovely doe eyes,

love, the eyes seeking kindness awaiting you can make your soul feel the calm, soothing

but a very energetic spark they possess. The nose that smells intentions, the ears that

hear the slightest gasps, your breath and the words you speak. Don’t you think it is

underrated to consider that, ‘DOG is GOD spelt backwards’. Just a coincidence? They are

angels sent from above in the form of the cutest beings.

When you get back home, there’s someone waiting for you, someone who missed you more

than anything, someone whose happiness is you and you alone. They jump and stomp their little paws running to meet you, to feel your

touch, to cherish the moments of the present, not worry about the past or the future. Even in your lowest of moods their love is beyond

imagination, as the famous saying goes “A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than you love yourself.” – Josh Billings.

The purest form of unconditional love in the whole world is a dog’s love. I wish everyone on this planet could shelter a dog, create and

experience one of the purest bonds to ever exist. I personally think that having such a bond is good for the soul and can only be shared

between a dog and its owner. Do you think the universe fights for souls to be together? The answer isn’t known, but I think it’s too

strange to only be considered a coincidence. A dog’s soul was destined to enrich your life, bless it for they say it LOVE is a four-legged

word mate.

How Could You Let This Happen

The Paws Of Love

If sexual assault isn't the victim’s fault, then why are victims treated this way? Several questions like these have led women to not tell

their stories to the world. Just by overthinking how society would react or who would marry her?

“WE DON'T WANT TO USE THE TERM HARASSMENT, WHAT IS HAPPENING TODAY IS SEXUAL TERRORISM”

The high rate of sexual violence against women is a concerning public health issue according to the 2021 annual report of the National

Crime Records Bureau (NCRB). India registered 31,677 cases of rape in 2021 - an average of 86 daily - while nearly 49 cases of crime

against women were lodged every single hour, according to the latest government report on crimes in the country. Among states,

Rajasthan (6,337) was on top of the list followed by Madhya Pradesh (2,947), Maharashtra (2,496), and Uttar Pradesh (2,845), while

Delhi recorded 1,250 rape cases in 2021, it showed. This includes women who are of color, Indigenous, employed in the military, living

and working in underprivileged environments, have a disability, and student populations which include one of nine females every month.

“WHEN ONE PERSON SAYS ‘YEAH ME TOO’, IT GIVES PERMISSION FOR OTHERS TO OPEN,” said Tarana Burke.

Sexual violence humiliates and destroys the social fabric of society, where a high premium is placed on the chastity of female children.

These acts have physical, mental, and psychological effects on the victims such as anxiety, depression, bruises, HIV, STDs, unwanted

pregnancies, etc. Unwanted pregnancies lead to abortion which is the killing of a human fetus. Abortion is considered “not a good thing

for good girls” which is just a myth. Women can't be forced to carry rapist seeds for their whole lives.

- Navodit 11D

-Kangana Chawla, 11 C2

According to the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) data for 2019,there were more than 32,000

cases of crimes against women registered under the category of sexual harassment.

On weekend we go out

she speaks softly, hardly shout

A bond of love we share

we hug each other and care

She is my mother, my life

When I am happy, she is happy

when I am sad, she is sad

She teaches me good things

and guide me not to do anything bad

In fact, her love is magical

that makes my life fantastical

I wish one day I make her proud

so that she can laugh loud!!

Last night, I saw the city dying.

The pollution is devouring the city.

The city tries to peep through the pollution.

It failed and its hopes are shattered.

Last night, I saw the city wailing.

It yelled for help.

Stars couldn’t glimmer in the night sky.

The bright white glimmering moon is getting dimmer and dimmer.

Last night, I saw the city in despair.

The dark dim clouds of pollution cover the window.

Nothing in sight of seeking for life.

The street lights looked blurry in the clouds.

Last night, I saw the city ending in despair and sorrow.

The city couldn’t hold itself from shattering and slowly ending.

Its life couldn’t suffer anymore.

It used to chuckle and now it wails.

Where there is a will there's a way

Honesty is the best policy for success

Every day is a new day to take a step ahead toward your goal

Success has no shortcuts

Unless you try, you never achieve it

Continuous effort is the key to success

Courageous people are never afraid of failure

Every failure teaches us a lesson

Sometimes we get tired,

Some days can be exhausting,

Sometimes we want to quit, but

The dream which never let you sleep

Or never let you rest and

Reminds you always to come forward

You don’t let those dreams die and try hard to make them real.

Last night I saw the garbage dancing

As the trucks wiggled wiggled drop the garbage

As it folds to create a building you know

Seeing the garbage rock the pollution rose devouring the sky.

Last night I saw garbage coming on its smelly toes

As it takes over with the pollution in the skies

Pollution and garbage combined

Ruled the city as a crime.

Last night I saw as the garbage as it ruled

Pollution in the sky garbage on the floor

As the moon turns black-sack

Garbage and pollution wins as they lose.

Last night I saw the city devastated by the destruction they’d caused

As the garbage and pollution having cup of juice

But they didn't know they’d lose

But when the Delhi Cleanliness approached, they lost.

The City Born With A Sunrise And A Sunset

The day starts with a heart-warming sunrise,

The blue sky is dotted with fluffy white clouds.

The shine of the sun pierces through my body,

a beautiful curse attacks me when the sun rises.

The afternoon sun bathed the buildings in its light,

the cherry blossom tree relentlessly swings with the cool breeze.

I can feel the strong connection between me

and the sun as it sets down.

The night sky glows with the city light,

I looked up to see millions of stars shimmer.

The sharp crescent moon shone like a silver claw,

the dawn starts to bring sunlight into Japan.

I sit in this room all alone,

As the world goes on with or without me,

I see happy faces outside,

And I wonder, If that could be me?

But the air is full of lies,

People only act like they care,

With all the fake faces they wear.

And I’m afraid that when I go out,

Into the world,

I’d only come back lonely and hurt.

Because the world is cruel,

People judging everyone they see.

And sometimes, to fit in,

I try not to be me.

What will I do when I’ve reached the edge?

Is it people and happiness I want to fetch?

And though you may just see happiness outside

there is loneliness deep down inside.

As the world goes on, and people move on,

In the hope of my fears to be gone,

I sit in this room all alone.

Alone

The thing called Darkness is light in my mind,

I feel like I should never escape.

Like a midnight owl I shall find

To emerge in the glory of dark.

The chilly shiver moves through my legs,

The thing called Cold is light in my mind.

The night’s not evil but is fun,

Being an owl doesn’t mean to seek for pray

But to enjoy the dark until it’s done.

To seek the dark is what I always find,

The delightful sky moves through my eye,

The thing called midnight is light in my mind.

When we think of an image of the sky

A clean blue sky with nothing but birds comes to mind

But why?

That is now a thing of the past, unfortunately this is the present

Where our natural ceiling is grey, contaminated and unpleasant

No more birds in it that fly

But why?

I want to see the vast green fields I have heard of so many times

But when I ask Earth for a little glance, I get no reply

But why?

Now the lush gardens have said goodbye

They have become lifeless, sad and dry

They aren't even hydrated enough to cry

The only option they have is to die

But why?

All we can do is imagine the clear oceans, full of fish and life

The seals, dolphins, whales and squids that didn't survive

But why?

Now look inside the water, it's more black than a hue with shine

The fish have taken the colorlessness it had and given up their life

To the waste material of what gives us a smile

But why?

I finally have the answer to the questions that never rise

I now know the answer to why...

It's all because of us and our greedy wants

They are extremely expensive and earth is covering the cost

We were gifted a beautiful world designed with everything we needed to live

But our wants were just too much to be fulfilled

Earth has only one question for all of mankind...

Courage is not an easy find,

Unless you choose courage in your heart and mind.

Behind reasons and fear do you want to hide?

Or is it best to build a path with courage & pride?

Do you know what courage looks like?

Kalpana Chawla with her dauntlessness,

Crossed horizons in space, achieving success.

She inspired women with her life and victory,

She was a trailblazer, finding answers to many mysteries.

Lakshmi Bai, the warrior with valiancy,

Filled with patriotism and pride for her country.

She showed great valour for the war of mutiny,

With her child on her back, she was a true prodigy.

Women in Iran standing for the hijab protest,

Honoured the courage of Mahsa Amini, self-possessed.

Tortured by police for failing to cover her hair,

Died 3 days later, isn’t that unfair?

Courage can neither be taught nor learnt,

But with confidence, strength, and spirit you can assert.

So today I ask you, do you just want to conform and be a coward?

Or with courage will you strive to thrive and keep moving forward?

From Sarojini Naidu to Kamala Harris and so many nameless, faceless women,

Who fought with grit, courage, and acumen.

Not only women but the courageous should be salvaged,

Walking with fear, & yet going beyond it is the meaning of true courage!

But then I woke up with a scream

And saw I was in my room with a quilt on.

Who could fly to and fro.

He lived in a water-less land,

Where nothing could be found, only sand.

At dawn, the crow would take his beak out,

And cawed to his heart out.

But without any mercy, the day became crimson painted,

The crow tried to fly, but fainted.

The crow hovered in that forsaken land,

Where crimson was the picturesque.

But the crow flew they say it just flew.

At last in the forsaken land,

He found a pot kept with water on sand

The crow peeped inside the pot, the water in the pot peeped

at him back,

Charming sight it was, but the crow was taken aback.

For water was less, and his neck was stout,

He could hardly get some in his mouth.

The crow went here, and it went there,

To rescue pebbles drowned deep in sand.

Down those pebbles, went into that pot,

And water climbed up with every shot.

The crow drank water in that forsaken land,

Where, he found water upon the sand.

That was the story of the crow in that forsaken land........

Where nothing could be found, but only sand.

The story of John could have been an unfortunate one,

It could have ended with a bit of poison.

He was a short ectomorph with weak eyes,

Everyone didn’t seem to him very nice.

He was bullied, and beaten up because he was poor but wise,

And the bullies were wealthy so they had to be right.

He was one of the afraid voices which did not speak,

Because he was scared that society will call him weak.

Going to school for him was like a war,

Sometimes physical, sometimes mental,

and sometimes saying bad things about his mom.

Every night he stayed awake,

Asked himself how long would it take,

He tried hard not to break,

Went on and on every day,

His happiness and his hope were apart and away.

One day he tried to talk it out,

Took the help of his parents, and his teachers but they said their usual

line,

“You have to be strong, You are a boy and boys don’t cry.”

“Now eat and get buffed up so you can give them a fight”

He asked me why, why to fight.

Isn’t my brain enough for me?

Can’t things sort out peacefully?

Is that how it usually ends?

I thought and thought but wasn’t able to figure out,

Was he right?

Then the last day comes, just after the exam,

The bullies punched him, picked him up, and threw him to the ground.

The look for help was crystal clear in his eyes,

But I was worried that I get bullied like him.

I was the last hope for him.

Can this hope be denied?

Should this hope be denied?

I was scared but I wanted to try,

I could almost hear him cry,

Little bit of poison would be enough for him to die.

So I stood up and held his hand tight ,

I remember the twinkle in his eyes.

Whatever happens next doesn’t matter to me,

As I was elated and so was he.

I lost a tooth, John hurt his back,

We can come back home with self respect intact.

So to all out there like us ,don’t be silly!

rest near the Taj Mahal.

I liked this book because it explained the lives of the

Mughals in amazing detail and with colorful illustrations. I

recommend this book to my friends and classmates & I

hope you like it.

Though partition was one of the worst events in India’s history, some

stories are still to be cherished. This book tells us one of those stories. In

this book, Nisha and her twin brother, Amil, celebrate their 12th birthday

in their beloved town of Mirpur Khas, India, a month before their country

receives independence from the British and splits into India and

Pakistan. Nisha, who got a diary from her family cook, Kazi, writes her

diary entries to her mother during the partition of India and Pakistan

telling the readers her perspective. Although Nisha’s mother was Muslim,

her family was Hindu and the riots during the partition make it difficult

for the family to live peacefully in their own house. Nisha feels distant

from her grandmother and father but is able to freely speak to Kazi. The

partition causes the family to leave Kazi, which devastates Nisha. She

has been portrayed as an innocent but strong character, both mentally

and physically. She is able to find her strength due to the partition and

also finds out about her family history. Her family goes through a

difficult but enthralling journey. According to me, this book is one of the

best books for our age. This book is not only interesting to read, but

gives readers inspiration that they can always discover their brave self

and how much capable they can be. This story will surely touch the

reader’s heart. This read will not disappoint any reader.

The Night Diary

A Perfect Guide To Murder

I have been a mystery lover for as long as I can remember. From

reading bedtime stories at night to reading nonfiction books, I

have always found solace in murder-mystery tales. This

masterpiece by Holly Jackson was just something unbelievable.

It’s like Holly Jackson is a queen and she designed a crown for

which she will be known. ‘A good girl’s guide to murder” is a

story with Pippa Fitz-Amobi in the spotlight who has picked up

a thrilling topic for her final-year project. Andie bell, who was

murdered 5 years ago, her name starts popping questions in

people’s heads like how? why?. People believe that Sal Singh

has murdered her as they had previously been in a relationship

but that’s probably not the truth. This is the first ever novel I

read, and I must say, I’m in love with it. This book gives you

everything from cute moments to scary and weird ones. I would

be delighted to give this novel 4.5 out of

Despite its publication nearly half a century ago, this fantasy-allegory of an oppressed society of mistreated,

famished animals and their quest for justice along with the spread of their ideals remains one of the most

famous satires of its time. In search of a supposedly better community, animal revolutionaries rise

bloodlessly, and we can begin to discern communist doctrine linked to historical real-life incidents. Animal

Farm, written by George Orwell, portrays real-time analogies of marxism and authoritative dictatorship.

The novel, in my opinion, really shocked me as it started off like any other children's narrative, but then

suddenly threw me into a dark tunnel of twists and turns where I discovered how history repeats itself.

The story begins with the animals' idea to establish an animal-run farm as they had a deep distaste for

mankind because of how they were abused on the farm. With their scheme accomplished, propaganda of

human tyranny is pushed by three pigs who appeared to be in control of this motion. At first, the pigs

appeared to follow the common goals of all animals, such as writing commandments like ‘all animals are equal’. However, the actual

malicious decree of the pigs is slowly revealed as they start amending commandments like 'all animals are equal, but some animals are

more equal than others'. Pigs, who represent dictators such as Joseph Stalin, Adolf Hitler, and Napoleon, exploit their animal population to

maintain their rule. But how can we know the pigs aren't manipulating each other? In summary, Animal Farm is a novel chosen to provide

a glimpse into the corruption and deception that occurred throughout the Russian Revolution and the communist era. Before you begin

reading, keep in mind that once the ugly side of history has been revealed, there is no turning back because communism dwells not only

in warfare but also in the horrors of deception.

I stumbled upon Wednesday as it was the talk of the town and every

person I know was urging me to watch it. Believe it or not, this short

1 seasoned show lived up to the hype! This eight-episode show is a

spinoff of the original The Addams Family show from back in the

1900’s and was directed by the well-known Tim Burton. Considering

that he also directed the famous Batman and Corpse Bride, it is no

surprise that yet another show of his would be a big - hit! Starring

Jenna Ortega, Luis Guzmán, Emma Myres, and even Christina Ricci

( who played the original Wednesday Addams) ‘Wednesday’ has won

over the hearts of many!

Wednesday presents a deviously charming world. The show bristles with originality and transfers viewers into a whole new witty and bizarre

universe.

Wednesday, the smart and gothic protagonist of the show was portrayed beautifully by Jenna Ortega in the 8 - hour long series. The show

has a splash of multiple genres such as mystery, comedy, horror, and supernatural; this blend is what makes the show so breathtaking. The

series brings forward the life of any curious and misunderstood teenage girl in a colorful and mysterious manner.

‘Wednesday’ begins with Wednesday’s transfer to Nevermore Academy after a certain incident involving piranhas at her old school.

Nevermore Academy is the school her parents attended themselves as teenagers, which opens up secrets of their pasts, soon to be

discovered by their own daughter. Wednesday and her assistant and friend, ‘Thing’, set the school on fire from the second they entered it.

The show opens up a world full of possibilities. From attempted murders to love triangles, from secretive teachers to hidden antagonists,

from exciting high-school competitions to mysteries that the future may hold: this show has it all!

The costumes, the characters, the setting and the plot - twists are on point! The sassy comments and bubbly relationships between each

character had me laughing and glued to my seat. If you are looking for a binge-worthy show that will keep you on the edge of your seats,

Wednesday is a perfect choice! I rate this show a ⅘ and strongly recommend it to anyone out there, I am already waiting for a second

season!

Pleasure Of Reading

As you open a book, the soft rustle of the pages

and the words on those pages transport you into a

whole new world, a fantasy, a dream. Namaskar

everyone, my name is Anna smith and I am here

to talk to you about a project that your principal

and I have been working on. You know, I was

talking to your principal and she asked me to

speak up here, and I said “with all due respect

ma'am, my audience will be twelve to sixteenyear-olds, they'll doze off before I finish my first

sentence!” But here I am. Now, I'm sure seventy

percent of you all here despise books, so let me

give you an insightful thought: you are reading the

wrong type of books! Everyone thinks that books

are boring and tedious but you all need to peep

outside the boundaries that you have created for

yourself.

Look outside these boundaries and explore, look

outside these boundaries and have an adventure,

look outside these boundaries and live a little.

Books will help you live a little. These days you are

all swarmed with work, school, and finishing your

Netflix series. But to give your overwhelming mind

a small pause, to give your life a little break, open

a book and just read. It'll take you to places that

are just indescribable. Books will help you reach all

the goals you want to achieve in life because your

life is precious, and we all know better than to

waste it. Right? Thanks to all who are listening to

me today and for not dozing off before I finish my

speech. I would like to end my speech with a

quote: Books are gifts, but you can open these

gifts again and again….

“There are three things to aim atin public speaking: first,to getinto your subject,then to get your

subjectinto yourself, and lastly,to get your subjectinto the heart of your audience.”

– Alexander Gregg

Good morning, everyone, my name is Akari and I'm sure you guys have seen me

sprinting around your school, going in and out of classes or even working in the

library. This is because I have recently been working with your principal on a

project and that’s why I am here today, sorry teachers for the time I am taking

out of your classes.

Before I begin, I want to ask you, how many of you dislike reading? How many of

you think of it as a dull task? Or even as an obligation for school? I am sure that

more than half of you would raise your hands and think like this. I want you to

think again.

Reading is like dreaming with your eyes open. It allows you to escape from the

real world. It allows you to escape from tests, stress, and assignments. Reading

hurls you into a world of imagination where you can be what you want to be and

do what you want to do. How many of you were disappointed when you first

found out that Santa Clause or the tooth fairy was not real? How many of you

were upset when you found out that you cannot have powers or be immortal like

Greek gods or superheroes? Well, all you need to do is pick up a book and start

reading. Reading will give you someplace to escape when you do not want to be in

the place you are in.

It is commonly said that today’s readers are tomorrow’s leaders. I could not agree

with this quote anymore. Not only is reading an amazing hobby and fuel for your

imagination, but it is also extremely educational. As a kid I never paid attention in

class, I never did my homework and I bunked all my tests. I was failing. That is

when my teacher suggested that I read. I thought of it as a tedious task that

must be done. At first, I read a few pages reluctantly to please my mom;

gradually, I started reading a few more pages every day and before I realized it, I

was reading by choice! There was a drastic change in my grades and my behavior.

I was inspired by the characters in my books and I strived to become like them.

And do you know what?

I ended up as valedictorian at the end of my year 12! My vocabulary had improved

ineffably and the kid that was once failing was replaced with me now. If only you

step out of your comfort zone a little and pick up the bundles of magic that are

books, you will see the changes in your vocabulary, grades, and even your

personality. So, what are you waiting for?

Reading is one of the most marvelous adventures that a person can have. It is one

of the best adventures I have had. It can be one of the most exceptional

adventures you have. So, I ask you, do you want to join me on this adventure?

I hope to see you all in the ‘Read Now Project’, with books in your hands. I

promise it will be everything you ever wanted. Thank you for listening.

Voracious Readers!

The story starts with a young boy, who is kind, smart, and nice, yet mischievous. His parents died from a disease when he was just 12

years old, a disease which occurs from low amounts of nutrients and stress, less rest, and less time for themselves. And at that time

nobody came forward to help his family.

So the boy had a mindset that he will help people. He had part-time jobs, to make some money for education. He used his money for

education and helping the needy. He later got a scholarship for studies and used his parent's fortune on a place to help people. In his

young days, he helped his fellow classmates and everyone he could help. He helped his classmates study and also relieve their stress with

their studies. Working his way as a social worker. In eleventh grade, he started his studies to become a full-time social worker. He also

\"I don't want to go to bed!\" That was the last thing I said to my mother before slamming the door in her face. My mother and I got into

a huge argument as I have been telling her that I am an insomniac but she just wouldn't believe me. Sometimes, I can't even wake up, I

mean, I do... Eventually. There are three scary creatures in my dreams. One holds my eyes wide open while the other stay in my closet,

staring at me with those big yellow cat-like eyes. But, the third one is the scariest, it's a girl this time and something just tells me that

she wants to eat me. She stares at me at the end of my bed with that humongous grin reaching up her mouth while drool slips out. She

stares at me with hunger in her eyes but her grin slowly recedes as she knows I'm about to wake up and then... I'm finally awake. This

has been happening for about 5 days and today going to be the 6th. But, I am not going to let that happen, I'm going to stay awake and

not have that horrific dream again.

It's 2:55 am and I am doing pretty good at staying awake! Oh no... I'm feeling a little drowsy and *ding* the clock hits 3 and oh no! I'm

feeling super sleepy all of a sudden I can't fall asleep- I went to bed! I'm in the hands of the lady now, I look around and see the first

monster behind my bed who used to keep my eyes open and then I look into my closet and see the second monster but finally I look back

at the lady... She's grinning again, I wonder how long it will take her to stop but today's different, I'm in her hands, horrified and

scared... Wait! Her mouth opened wider and wider until... Well, that was the last time I ever slept. I got to see my funeral thought, I saw

my parents crying over my dead body which was in the casket. I just wanted to go and squeeze them so tightly but I couldn't... My soul

is trapped with the lady and she won't let me go... \"Goodbye Mommy and Daddy, I love you\" Those were the last words I said before

following the lady and the two other monsters into the endless dark void.

In the exaggerated streets of India was a child. He was no ordinary child

but a blessed spirit stepping his devout foot on earth as a poor, vagrant

boy who lived in the filthy streets of Mumbai. The kid’s name was Kumar,

no first name, no middle name just Kumar. He grew up watching people

do certain jobs like the dukandar selling peaches and plums to small little

kids in the bazaar. He wanted to buy some fruit but he couldn't, he was

poor. Kumar’s parents were affluent and reckless and wanted a child a

girl but they got a bright and beautiful boy instead. How disgusted the

parents were when they saw him despite his captivating appearance. It

was clear he was gifted by God but all the parents wished was for a girl.

They left poor Kumar all alone on the streets without even giving him a name.

As Kumar grew up, he never knew how to communicate or speak with other

people but while listening to the individuals around him he naturally developed

a sense of talking. Communicating with others was a bit easier for him and

he had fun. He was homeless but never really cared, he had the freedom to roam

around, play with others, cause a ruckus, and live without rules. The best part was he

could call any place his home, the sabzi mandi was his first house but sadly he was

kicked out by the dukaan-dar. His second house was near the ‘ ‘nali’ ‘but my God it

carried a stench, like 10 dead mice. His third house was under a tree in central

park. It is where he is currently staying but living such a wonderful life full of freedom

has its downfalls, he wasn’t educated enough, people would tease him calling him Kaalu and Sukdru because of his black skin tone and

sick body. He wasn’t treated well and wasn’t fed, Kumar would dive into dumpsters to find raw potatoes and tomatoes, it was the reason

he would get sick often. Kumar always wondered who were his parents, how did they look, whether were they kind, and why they put

Kumar away. He never knew. One rainy day in Mumbai, Kumar was sleeping peacefully on the strong branches of the mango tree when

suddenly the branch broke and before he knew it Kumar fell but, to his surprise he didn’t feel any pain. “Arre, I didn’t feel any pain!”.

Kumar now knew he was invincible, or sort of. He didn’t feel pain. He was astonished. He tried to fall off the roof of the mandi, the

dukaandar tried to stop him but he jumped without even thinking and once again he survived! The dukandar saw this and was speechless.

The very next day people were gathering around Kumar's tree wanting to adopt him when suddenly, a rich couple pushed all the peasants

away. “Beta, we want to adopt you, you will live your best life ever”. Once again without thinking, Kumar jumped off his mango tree and

hugged the two random strangers. The strangers were Kumar’s biological parents who once left him on his own but wanted to adopt him

again to gain fame among people for being slightly immortal. They took Kumar to their palace in the city centre. Kumar was speechless, it

was like he skipped a beat. He ran around the palace knocking things over and over, the servants and janitors were fed up with the

nuisance created by the little boy. The parents told the servants that he’d learn in a few days. At night Kumar went to bed in his new

Lightning McQueen-designed bed wearing a fancy pair of pjs and a blue t-shirt. He felt so amazingly comfortable. He tucked himself in

and tried going to bed but couldn’t resist jumping on it first, so he started jumping.

He was giggling and having fun when he heard the parent’s talking to each other. “Arre, we are going to get so rich; he is going to bring

us fame, and when we have a million rupees, hum toh usse chod denge. Kumar was dumbstruck when he heard them talking. This time,

with deciding what to do he jumps out of the window in anger and took an oath to never step near that house. A few decades passed and

Kumar grew up to become a businessperson and a millionaire by starting an adoption company, Wish A Child. He spreads awareness on

how children who are abandoned by their parents deserve a better life than being homeless.

Jackson was a young boy who lived in a small town. His summer

break had just started; on the last day of school he had an idea. He

wanted to put up a lemonade stand for the scorching midsummers so

that he could earn money to buy the big unicorn for his younger

sister’s birthday but little did he know someone else had the same

idea of earning money to get the unicorn for herself. Turns out it was

Jenna, the mean girl at school. They both lived on the same street

and Jenna would always bully and make fun of Jackson, so she was

more on the rebellious side. On the other hand, Jackson was a kind

and sweet kid who helped elders cross the roads. They both worked

hard to make the money they needed, but Jenna would often take

long breaks, especially in the afternoon as there was too much heat

and while she rested in her air-conditioned room, Jackson earned

more and more money, and because of the heat people needed

something cold like lemonade.

Jackson served lines and lines of people in the burning hot afternoons and earned the money before Jenna could. Jenna looked outside

her window and saw Jackson celebrating because he made the money he needed to buy that unicorn, Jenna got jealous because she

barely made half of the money needed. She then went on pleading to her parents for some money and they gave it to her without a

single thought, so now they both had the money they needed. The only thing left was getting it the next day. Jackson couldn’t wait so his

parents took him to get it in the morning right after breakfast and Jenna kept sleeping. When she woke up their car raced out of their

street and she realized that she was late and that Jackson would get the last one. She hurried and reached there but by the time she did,

she saw Jackson's sister walking with the large unicorn in her hands which meant Jenna was too late.

The Ultimate Halloween

- Siyona Abbey, 8 A

The Shadow Monster screeched loudly, as the others were busy distracting the monster, Nightelle turned invisible and headed upstairs to

see the shadow monster minions guarding the gem! She tried to take the gem but was not able to pick it up! Oh no! THE CLOCK WAS

ABOUT TO STRIKE 12. Was it going to be too late?? Wait! If you want to know what happened, let me take you right back to the

beginning. So, there was another world right below us, called Spookters Land. There lived many wicked fairies, monsters of all sorts who

were short-tempered and cursed, and hexing witches in this spooky world. This land emanated on the first Halloween ever. All monsters

were at least 200 years old. Although all depravity lived here, the creatures did not kill each other, and they co-existed together. But, on

every Halloween, in Spookters Land, arrive a few shapeshifting, scary, big, ferocious, and gross monsters. They could turn into anything

and had pointed needle-like sharp teeth with burning fiery red eyes filled with pure evilness. Gloomdis was the leader and oldest of the

monsters.

“Dear all bad creatures of this land, just like every Halloween I am back! And this time Halloween is really special! It is the six hundredth

and sixty-sixth Halloween! As I am filled with gloom, my plan is not just to eat a few, but all of you! It will be a feast! Tomorrow is

Halloween but guesses what? We monsters have plans of our own. At midnight it will be Halloween and you all will be dead.

All the creatures were terrified as they heard that they would die soon! The queen of Spookter’s land- Majesty Mallory got terrified as

well and decided to do something noble for the first time! Nobody expected anything much from her as even her name Mallory meant bad

luck and she hardly cared about anyone except herself. But Majesty Mallory had three strong fairy soldiers- Nightelle who had the power

of becoming invisible, Wolfen, who could turn into a werewolf, and Dragonfury who had powers of fire. She decided to send them to the

haunted house. THE HAUNTED HOUSE. This haunted house had a unique red gem with which Gloomdis could be ontrolled. But it was

guarded by an iniquitous Shadow Monster and his minions! Majesty Mallory was given the gem as a gift from her ancestors, but the

Shadow Monsters confiscated the stone 100 years ago.

As Nightelle, Wolfen, and Dragonfury stepped inside the Haunted house, they heard the doors close. Creeeeeeeeek!!! And BOOM!!! The

Shadow Monster launched out of nowhere and grabbed Wolfen by her wings. She quickly transformed into a werewolf and bit the Shadow

Monster’s arm as Dragonfury launched a fireball at it. The Shadow Monster screeched loudly. As the others were busy distracting the

monster, Nightelle turned invisible as she headed upstairs and saw the shadow monster minions guarding the gem. She tried to take the

gem but was not able to pick it up. As she tried, she became visible again and the minions told her that in order to take the gem,

Nightelle would have to sacrifice the lives of the Great Warriors of Spookter’s Land. She decided to be the hero and touched the gem as

she said the names of the people she wanted to sacrifice for the greater good. (Or so she thought).

She spoke- “NIGHTELLE! WOLFEN! AND DRAGONFURY! I SACRIFICE US FOR THE GREATER GOOD!!” and suddenly, Tick Tock!! The clock hit 12

midnight! It was Halloween and the other hand, Gloomdis said “HAHAHA! Nightelle, Wolfen, and Dragonfury sacrificed themselves and

gave their powers to me by putting the powers in the gem! MUAHAHAHA!!! They’re so stupid! Thank you Majesty Mallory for supporting

me!”

Everybody who was sitting there in the big pot with boiling water and a bonfire beneath them was shocked to see that the Majesty was

on the evil side and had been scheming against them all.

She said- “Hmm! My pleasure! Finally! We will get to rule Spookter’s Land stronger together! I sent them to give their powers as they were

the greatest in all the land, to make you stronger!”

All creatures in Spookters's Land shouted and screamed as they were getting burned! And Gloomdis along with his fellow monsters and

Majesty Mallory enjoyed the feast! This was indeed the ultimate Halloween!

Choose a pumpkin: Pick a large pumpkin that is free from bruises and blemishes. Look for a pumpkin with a sturdy stem that is not

too thin or too brittle.

Cut off the top: Use a sharp knife to cut off the top of the pumpkin. Cut at an angle so that the lid fits back on easily.

Scoop out the insides: Use a large spoon or scoop to remove the seeds and stringy bits from the inside of the pumpkin. Make sure you

remove all the seeds and pulp.

Draw your design: Use a pencil or marker to draw your design on the pumpkin. You can find stencils online or make your own.

Carve the pumpkin: Use a small serrated knife or pumpkin carving tool to cut along the lines of your design. Make sure you cut all the

I've been here for the past TWO centuries.

And I'll stay here for the eternities to come.

My view consists of winds violently blowing at rose bushes scattered across at least 100,000 meters of land accompanied by

gleaned grey skies and a drizzle of short-time rain.

Even after all this while nothing seems to change.

At first, it was close to my idea of a utopia with nothing here: no people, no noise, and frankly no disturbance. Nothing

except for the idyllic blood-red flowers a large, enchanting, dark castle and the weather of my choice: rain and clouds.

Ironically, as time passed, the walls surrounding me and the roses began to look a lot more unfamiliar, even foreign.

Replicating the changes in a loved one at first is quintessential that soon grows cold and vague. Almost as if you never

really knew them.

I chose these over anything else in the world and now I can't help but feel scared realizing that this is all there will be,

forever.

Now, I sit at the large window of my dark castle and stare at the same sight.Even if in the unknownst these scarlet roses

and their thorns have an alarming beauty,I can not shelve anything from this place and there is no point in trying. Though,

now I can say I have developed a sense of serenity for this sight in front of me in the last decade or maybe millennial. I am

sure I have lost track of time just like how I have lost count of the number of cuts on my fingers from those flowers, of

course.

I do not pray to escape anymore since I know it is not possible.

I do not cry about not being able to leave this place since I know it is mindless.

All I do is sit and stare.

All I can ever do is sit and stare.

I was in handcuffs while I sat in a dimly lit room, the walls made of concrete with no paint, and a wall made of mirror right beside me. I

could hear the fan just moving, that was the only thing I heard till the door opened and the interrogator sat on the chair right in front of

me. He tried to calm me, but I am one who has seen horrors, one never wishes to experience. Nothing could save me from the madness I

was stuck in. He asked me what happened on the night of the murders, the night of my birthday. My birthday party was just about to

begin, I was now 21 so now I was open to all the experiences the real world had for me. I invited a bunch of my friends to have the most

fabulous party I could, we hired a DJ as well. We also hired some house cleaners for the afterparty.

One of them had a very menacing feature on his face.

five or six hours. Then around 2 am most of us were tired. So I just told everyone that they could crash at my place. After everyone

including myself fell asleep, I woke up in the middle of the night. I noticed I was holding an old stopwatch, it was still working but I was

so confused. Then it chimed once and I heard a voice from the darkness. “Happy birthday to you” is what I heard from across the house. I

slowly walked with the stopwatch in my hand and I entered the room.

I turned on the lights to find my friend lying dead on the floor, his blood creeping towards my legs, I screamed at the top of my lungs. I

ran into the living room where I heard 5 more chimes, each chime had an interval of 6 minutes, I know that for a fact because I was so

scared I hid away in a kitchen and just stared at the stopwatch. After each chime, I heard the same voice till finally, I saw the silhouette

of a man, his face covered with a mask. He walked slowly, as he walked he said: “ Happy birthday Rohan, how did you like my presents, I

gave you six so I expect something in return silly.” I was shivering out of fear as he walked towards me. He said, “ Now you will feel pain

for the rest of your life, that is my true gift to you”. He then knocked me out. I had flashes of what was maybe happening, I heard sirens

and murmuring and I saw some people I never knew. Then I suddenly woke up in a jail cell, they then instructed me to go to a room. I sat

on the chair trembling in horror due to what I saw. That moment is what has led to the moment we are in right now!

“Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn” is A quote that meticulously describes The Cambridge

Education System.

It is indeed: Education Redefined!

A comprehensive global presence with a curriculum objectivized towards Practical Knowledge, strengthening conceptual understanding

meanwhile encouraging the application of the same is the mantra at Cambridge. Rather than dwelling and adhering to the use of a

defined, restricted way of expression; you learn the courage to illustrate the conceptualization that resembles you and not a textbook

definition: you learn to apply your edification to real-life scenarios rather than answering a monotonous, redundant set of questions.

A regularly updating education policy that incorporates new developments and adapts to the needs of today’s world because honestly,

what will be the use of mugging up the birth years of all British Monarchs when ease of access to information has been revolutionized

since the introduction of smartphones?

This is what an aspiring future leader like you needs!

Rather than memorizing let’s consider actual learning.

Globally Valued Qualifications

A Cambridge Qualification comes with its great internationally acclaimed recognition, retaining its value for a lifetime of education and

employment.

A reach covering a staggering 2200 established universities globally including all those of the UK, approximately 850 in the US (including

the Ivy League), and several paramount student destinations such as Germany and Singapore: all recognize Cambridge qualification as a

testament to Academic achievement ensuring the adequate appreciation of your distinct talent and traits.

Quoting Cambridge, \"Global Institutions understand that the demand of our curricula and the rigor of our assessments give students what

they need to flourish in higher education.”

Inclusive cooperation with employers and governments ensures the sharing of expertise and comprehension of the regional educational

challenges, henceforth, allowing a smooth learning environment.

A Class apart

Incorporating 10,000 schools across continents has meant Cambridge programs being taught to over a million students worldwide helping

them achieve the best!

An education stratagem constructed on the profound attributes of confidence, responsibility, reflection, innovation, and engagement

presents you with focus, motivation, challenge, and a zeal to learn. A flexible and linear Assessment of conceptual knowledge, deep

thinking, and intricate logical reasoning molds your knowledge into an applicable and understandable collection of convictions. More

significantly, you choose the career you desire irrespective of your grades in a particular aspect or subject. Motivating innovation and

research along with cross-curricula connections incentivize your desire to demonstrate and improve your skills.

Well, relevance, challenge, and productivity are brought about by the willingness to learn; unfasten remarkable opportunities, don’t they?

Another day, another boring lecture. It was finally Friday and Brooke was so ready for this well-deserved weekend but only if she didn’t

have multiple assignments to complete. It was French class and she couldn't wait for the bell to ring. Twenty minutes later the bell rang

and it was time for lunch, skipping breakfast was a bad idea for sure. She walked to the small cafe right next to campus and took a seat

next to Luke. Brooke and Luke have been friends for about five years now and they know each other like the back of their hands. They

were making conversation and failed to notice Daisy and Gemma joining them.

They've known the girls for roughly about seven months and the four are inseparable. Daisy started telling them about her scholarship

and how in a few months she'll go off to college, Brooke could tell she was extremely excited since she has that bright shine in her eyes.

She was the oldest in the group. Brooke knew this was coming and she also knew she wouldn't be able to cope with her going away. Even

though Daisy and Brooke have known each other for a short period, they were remarkably close, they couldn't go a day without talking to

each other. They knew each other just like Brooke and Luke, maybe even more. Daisy was hyped about going to college, her eyes crinkling

and she broke into a smile. Daisy went on about how quickly everything is changing, Brooke had mostly zoned out because time had gone

by significantly quickly.

They decided to meet up at Daisy's place and stay the night. It was basically a routine at this point. Brooke was the first one to arrive and

began assisting Daisy to prepare for the movie. She was in the middle of telling Brooke about her day when Joey ran into the kitchen and

jumped on Brooke. Joey was Daisy's golden retriever and the attention seeker, once he was in, Daisy was irrelevant. Brooke loved Joey

and sometimes would joke about kidnapping him and by the way Joey got piped up, it was clear he wasn't completely opposed to the

idea. Soon enough Luke and Gemma joined them and devoted all their attention to Joey. They brought a tent, their bags, and a lot of

candy. Brooke’s eye caught the candy and nothing else mattered after that, all of them chuckled when Brooke attacked the candies but

she didn't care, it was her and candy against the world.

After the movie ended, Luke dragged the girls to Daisy's backyard to set up the tent which would have been easy if they weren't so

exhausted. Gemma and Brooke helped Luke with the tent while Daisy brought the pillows, blankets, and pizza. fifteen minutes later their

tent was ready and they snuggled up enjoying each other's presence in silence. Daisy brought up her scholarship again and it was nice to

see her so excited about something, she had something to look forward to and it was wonderful but it also meant she won't be here,

she'll be in Manchester and she will be busy, she may not even have any time to spare to her friends after that.

A week passed and Daisy got distant from the group. She didn't talk to Brooke as much anymore and at first, Brooke thought it was

because of school but it didn't sit right with her, she knew it wasn't because of that but she didn't know what it could be either.

Whenever she asked Daisy if she was free, she would always tell her she has tons of work or her family was over - who by the way, loved

Brooke - and she had to be with them. Daisy never kept secrets and her distancing herself from everyone really bothered Brooke because,

in a few months, she would leave. If only she knew why Daisy was acting the way she was…

Two months passed with no proper communication with Daisy. Luke and Gemma tried to distract Brooke from Daisy's absence but it

wasn't that easy and they knew it too, they too missed her but wouldn't show, for some reason they felt the need to be strong for Brooke,

maybe because she was the closest to her and it’s more difficult for her. Brooke started to get incredibly worried, she wondered if Daisy

was okay or if it was something she had done that made Daisy not want to talk to her. But then she also wasn't speaking with Luke or

Gemma, it had to be something serious.

As time passed, it only got harder. Without Daisy, Brooke didn't know how to properly function and she really missed Joey. Luke asked if

she wanted to go to Daisy's place to see if she was fine and she mentally cursed herself for not thinking of that. After school, they

knocked on Daisy's door and her mother opened it. Joey instantly attacked them and her mother had a huge smile on her face, but it soon

turned into a frown. She told them Daisy is not here right now and that they should go back and when they asked when she'll be home

she said she would tell them. They really shouldn't have trusted her because they never heard back. Again, it was strange because her

mother adored the kids and this was too, alien to them.

Brooke was certain she was going crazy. She was miserable without Daisy and that made her feel guilty because her friends were trying

so hard to keep her happy! Gemma was tired of seeing her this way, her heart ached, seeing her best friend so sad and the only thing

they could try to do was talk to Daisy and tell her what her sudden absence is doing to Brooke. Luke and Gemma drove to Daisy's and

knocked, this time it was Daisy who answered the door. Her face had an unreadable expression. Gemma tried explaining to her why she

should come with them and Luke tried asking her why she disappeared without an answer. Daisy sighed and told them she would explain

later. The tension was thick but no one said a thing. It was times like these that made Daisy wonder if she was doing the right thing,

according to her she's only protecting her friends but she's not quite sure if it is the right way because if it was, it would feel right.

Right?

Luke asked Brooke to come to meet them at Gemma's place and in ten minutes she was there. Her face lit up when she spotted Daisy. She

didn't waste a second and engulfed her in a bone-crushing hug. Just as Brooke was about to speak and ask her why she wasn't

answering any of her texts, Daisy cut her off as if she read her mind and told her she'll explain later. Gemma decided to ask Daisy about

her plans for college to ease things and Daisy beamed. She went on about her dorm and the plans she had for it and how she'll be

sharing it with someone and the courses. It was easy to tell she was thrilled about this and Brooke couldn't be happier for her. It would be

easy to go back to being normal again, pretend like the last three months didn't happen but they all needed an explanation, Daisy knew

she'd have to tell them something if not the truth but she couldn't get herself to, so all she could do was delay the motive

A few hours passed and Brooke gathered the courage to ask Daisy why she's been so distant, Daisy asked her if it would be okay to tell

her later and Brooke wasn't going to argue about that. She wouldn't do anything to drive her away again so she agreed. The three of

them thought it would be something related to college but what they didn't know was that soon a bomb would be dropped on them.

A month had passed and Daisy was about to leave for college, Brooke had never seen her so happy before. They all packed with Daisy,

well, if unfolding articles of clothing and throwing them on each other counted as helping. They helped her to pick out furniture for her

new place, she decided that she doesn't want to live in a dorm, so they bought an apartment last minute. Everything was planned, and

even though they would all miss her, they were so, very happy for Daisy and that was all she needed, the support of her friends. After

they had left, Daisy was left with her thoughts, wondering if what she was doing is right or not, if telling her friends before about her

health would have eased the situation or not.

She had tried to distance herself from all of her friends so that when it gets worse, they wouldn't miss her too much but that didn't work

because they found her, and she didn't want to be without them, she is too attached to them and she can't let go, not like this. It's a

strange thing, how a few people entered her life and made her want a future, made her want to stay and pursue things in life. But she

wasn't so sure if she'd get it, her parents tried everything they could but it wasn't working, doctors said she'll be fine, that it won't

escalate soon but no one knew. No one could say, this has no cure. But why does she have to be the one who protects everyone? She can't

even protect herself, she's been so unbelievably strong for so, so long that it has started to hurt more than the mere thought of leaving

her friends for college.

A quiet evening came. Twilight enveloped everything in the grey light. Soon the moon rose

from behind and its bright silver light made the world even more beautiful. The silence was

looming around in the air. Everyone retired to their beds as the nightingale sang a song with

her sweet voice. The songs were so pleasant that the silence didn't mind being disturbed. The

beauty of nature marvelled at me and after some time I also headed to bed. I closed my eyes

to sleep and when I was conscious again with beeps of my alarm, it was seven in the morning

already. I extended my hand to turn off the alarm when I realized my arm couldn't reach it.

\"Did my limbs shorten? \"I muttered to myself. My eyes started to open up more as I became

more clear‐headed from my sleep with the view getting clearer. I then turned my head to see

my hand was no more, instead, it was a paw. I freaked out not believing what my eyes just saw

and got out of my cosy blanket and stood on the bed as I saw myself in the wooded mirror in

front of my bed. I had turned into a Scottish cat! \"Aah\" I shouted as I became petrified, I wondered if I was still dreaming.

Since I couldn't pinch myself to run a check, I bit my paw as hard as I could due to which I even got a bruise but what affected me the

most was believing that this was reality. \"Beep-beep\" the sound of the alarm was now loudly echoing around the room, making me lose

my cool. I went closer to it with my 4 limbs and threw it with my paw. I started to tear up \"Wahh, mom help me! Waah,\" I meowed. I went

into a deep thought if somebody had cast a spell on me. After all, how could I possibly lose my body? Suddenly I felt water being dumped

on my face. I blinked and snapped back to the real world.

\"Why are you not waking up?\" shouted my elder sister. I felt like throwing my arms around her to give her a tight hug, I had never felt so

happy waking up. The wooden mirror was right in front of me as it was before, proving to me that I was in my room. My stomach was

growling so I got out of bed with a sigh of relief and went straight for breakfast. My bread toast which was golden brown in colour and

coffee which had never smelled so pleasant with the usual burnt and roasted fragrance was kept right in front of me. 'That dream or a

nightmare, I should say was quite an adventure,' I murmured.

Let’s begin with a deep message in a rather rare poetry form -

An Elegy by Abhinav Gupta - AS Level Cambridge

An elegy is a type of poem that is traditionally used to mourn the loss of a loved one or to reflect on the

passage of time. Elegies are often characterized by their somber tone and their focus on themes of death, loss,

and grief.

Some famous poets who have written elegies include William Shakespeare, who wrote the famous elegy \"To the

Memory of My Beloved, the Author Mr. William Shakespeare,\" and John Milton, who wrote the elegy \"Lycidas\" to

mourn the loss of a fellow poet.

My version of the Elegy revolves around a lost habit, Persistence. Persistence is an important quality that we

should all possess, but lately, it's been dying in our minds. In the hope of reversing that, I present my elegy on

persistence.

ELEGY TO PERSISTENCE

8 billion souls, 8 billion hearts,

A few remain to light the way,

Leading us through the dark,

Our shared persistence keeps us from veering astray

Though miles apart,

It's this unwavering drive that connects us every day.

Persistence, perseverance, and tenacity,

Life without these; a bleak reality.

No determination, no resolve? I wonder,

Where would we be without them to guide us on our way?

Achievement is what we yearn for,

So how do we keep the fire of determination burning at our core?

Persistence is a powerful force,

It is the ability to keep trying and striving,

A determination that keeps us alive and thriving,

A powerful force that helps us reach our goals.

But lately, my heart is heavy and my eyes are down,

I am unaware of where she has flown

No one around me indicates her presence anymore

Where art thou? Please bless us with your effulgence.

We ignored your guidance,

Choosing convenience over your wise words.

We spurned your wisdom,

Only to stumble and fall, unable to rise.

Why do we do this, I wonder? Is it a desire to fail,

Or a stubbornness that protects our pride?

We may have lost our way,

But a few still remain, shining a light to guide us back to the path.

I know a few people, close to me,

Whose success brings me joy and pride.

Guided, motivated, cherished by your guiding light,

You are our angel of radiance,

You've always led us towards greatness with all your might. But now we seem to have lost our way,

Or perhaps we have grown foolish, it's hard to say.

Every now and then, I will call you, my friend,

To be our silent guardian, our knight in shining armour,

Culinary is often mixed up with cooking, as much as they are

similar, culinary is the art and science of preparing food for and by us.

It is a skill and art of adding taste, flavor, and beauty to food. It is not

just about preparing food, but also about sharing happiness, joy, and

love, and in fact, it is one of my beloved hobbies. I have always seen

my mom cook for the four of us and like every other kid, curiously

wanted to help her. Maybe that was the time when I got attracted

to culinary.

Culinary helped me express myself, I can creatively present the food I

cook so that it looks appealing. Ever since I was a kid, I loved the

the aroma of spices, the smell of freshly baked bread, and all the numerous smells that emanated out of the kitchen. I could close my

eyes and tell just by the aroma what was cooking in the kitchen. My love for food is all-encompassing. The color, the texture, the taste,

the smell all these different elements in food talk to me. I cook with my heart. I have a knack for putting two things together and creating

something magical. I have a style of my own. Food talks to me, I talk to food. I understand food better than I understand human beings. I

do not follow a cookbook or recipe. I just seem to know what to do, unlike Maths, where I find the simplest of equations baffling.

Moreover, it's very satisfying to know that I can cook something

delicious without any guidance, honestly, it makes me feel independent

. In my opinion, cooking is a great way to bond, all of your close ones

surrounded by the dining table enjoying scrumptious food. At this

point, I feel like I can call myself a cuisine connoisseur-appreciating

the art of cooking and cuisines.

If today I look back in time, what I see is my learning over the years,

hundreds of experiments and a lot of recipe disasters. Whenever I feel low,food is the thing which boosts my mood. Food has the power

to heal others, a good presentation of food can make them smile and warm their heart.Whatever hobby you choose it always gives you a

new experience and makes you learn something new and interesting about that hobby. My Hobby gives me happiness. I think cooking is a

great way to relax but by putting effort into making it look appealing its becomes therapeutic.

Next Up! - It’s time to tickle your palate …

An Article on Culinary Art

by Arshiya Arora - AS Level Cambridge

Facts

The word \"culinary\" comes from the Latin word \"culinarians,\" which means \"of the kitchen\" or \"related to cooking.\" The

term has been used in English since the 1600s to refer to anything related to cooking or the kitchen, and it is commonly

used today to describe anything related to food preparation, cooking, or cuisine.

but bring heavenly light on proper, effective ways to protest:

Let your voices not spiral into that void, gilded with a darkness that will stretch till oblivion, or worseback into your throats.

As we see,

Sexual harassment submerged into the gloom of the alleys, surreptitiously slipping away from his crimes like honey

down a throat, but this honey was coarse and made her swallow the details of what happened. Or didn't. At least

according to everyone.

Rape runs across the fields flagrantly like a cheerleader (the white one; the one whose rich daddy got her abortion done

for her in secret but is trying to take away that fundamental human right from women everywhere), but the banner he

wears has the words: SHAME, SHAME MARIAM/SARAH/ASTHA/ETCETRA ETCERTA-YOU GOT YOURSELF RAPED!

Child marriage sitting on its throne, rape-aciously, oh sorry, rapaciously gobbling confectionaries on the wedding

(commemoration of her childhood) days and wearing slickened syrupy sympathy-contorted expressions, for the child

bride who cries when forced to leave her family's side yet still expects her to mourn at her abusive husbands' demise.

Time to introduce a mature author at a tender age.

A Wholesome Experience… Coffee with the Principal

‘Coffee With The Principal’ was an illuminating discussion for us, as well as the individuals who deign to peruse through it. In modern

society, providing open platforms for transparent discussion, on a modicum of topics ranging from the extensive ocean that is education

these days to pressing societal issues is absolutely crucial. This principle is one we attempted to emulate with our venerable Principal

ma’am in this edition of the E-Magazine. Suffice to say, it was truly the experience of a lifetime. The experience of interviewing our

principal, Dr. Sangeeta Arora was incredible. She was soft-spoken yet firm and had views on our questions that changed my perspective

of a lot of things. She made us realise that the world cannot be viewed from just one lens; rather it is vital to broaden our horizons and

look beyond our comfort zones. All in all, the interview was an eye-opener for us and we are sure it will help the rest of the students

gain perspective and point of view on a lot of things. Having one-on-one interaction with such a renowned woman was quite an

exhilarating experience as well. Hearing her narrative on versatile subjects is something we look forward to doing again. We are

incredibly grateful for the opportunity as it gave us an insight into the journaling world and room to manoeuvre our writing skills. The

interview was ingeniously planned to last no more than half an hour, but only God knows how the time slipped away and rolled into

hours. Every answer that Dr. Arora provided us with her profuse knowledge and perspicacity. Her state of mind was always calm, even

when she was asked the most daunting questions. Each one of us enjoyed taking her interview, and we are all eagerly waiting for more

endeavours like this in the future. For us, interviewing Dr. Sangeeta Arora ma’am has been an enlightening experience. Her answers to

our questions were so sagacious that they illuminated our minds and widened the spectrum of our thoughts. The knowledge that

emanated from her words was truly a transformative experience in itself. Her prolific knowledge about the divergent topics we delved

into during the interview cannot be panegyrized enough. Her wisdom is something to be revered deeply.

students and teachers of Kothari International School, Noida were given the opportunity to visit the house of the President of India.

Art has always been a method to relieve ourselves from the external stress and anxiety. At Kothari International we believe in channelizing

this serene energy into creative and adaptive learning methods. Students of Grade 11 A Students were assigned to prepare a flowchart or

collage on Fundamental rights and duties. Students portrayed their knowledge on the topic assigned through their exquisite drawing skills.

The story of the Mahabharata has always fascinated me and I have always believed in its authenticity.Hence I was thrilled beyond

measure when I found that it was a part of my History Curriculum in Grade 12 and that Historians were recognising it as an integral part

of our glorious heritage and not just as a mythical epic.

Every segment of the Mahabharata has a lesson to each even today which just goes to show how History is relevant for all ages,is a

legacy and a blueprint for the present and future.

My three main takeaways from the Mahabharata:

1.From the character of Arjuna I have learnt to never stop learning, no matter how learned or skilled one is and to always stay grounded.

Also the fact that learning can come from anyone and to always stand by your Dharma.

2.From the character of Abhimanyu I have realised and learnt that ‘half knowledge is dangerous’.

3.From Shri Krishanji I have learnt that ‘quality always wins over quantity’.

Their script is enigmatic and yet to be deciphered

Once that is done, much more will be heard.

How did they produce glittering faience?

Cambridge has not only widened the perspective of the students but the teachers and the school in itself. Ever since Kothari adopted

Cambridge, it has been a contender in several international competitions, became partners with Trinity College London, and became

eligible for awards such as the IAYP(The Duke of Edinburgh's International Award Association) while receiving certificates for “Excellence

in international learning.”

The school’s world-class facilities, combined with well-competent teachers and an inclusive learning environment have translated into

results. We don’t need advertisements to show our students’ worth, their intellect speaks volumes amidst their success in primitive

development years. A focus on producing ingenious minds rather than a mentality of excellence has ironically provided the nation with

various national and international toppers over the years ensuring UCL and Cambridge scholarships over the years.

As initially claimed, the Cambridge program has instilled the following qualities in all our students, irrespective of the board they’re in:

Confidence in working with ideas, language capabilities, and public speaking

Responsible for themselves and others

Reflective as learners, developing their ability to learn

Innovative and equipped for new and future challenges in the globalized world

Engaged intellectually and socially, ready to make a difference.

All these qualities are showcased by our inquisitive learners in their everyday activities which go hand-in-hand with the mission

statement of our school:

“We endeavor to empower our students with knowledge and skills through engaged learning; ensure the pursuit of tertiary education of

their choice and make them custodians of their physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.

Our students shall also seek seamless transition into adult life; become useful members of the communities in which they live and

promote tolerance, world peace, and tranquility.”

So that’s what Cambridge means to us, Kothari, and the world: THE ARCHWAY TO ONE’S DREAMS.

The Earth is wroth,

How can we blame her and yet

we do; do we not?

Crib and cry and move away,

To other places fairer, until again

we have our way.

We kill her now; we will kill her again,

Oh when, oh when, will we stop this sin?

STOP! Look around and see,

The devastation stretches for as far as the eye

can see.

Nature is hurting; do we care?

Her soul laid open, stripped down bare.

Earth reaches out and coughs and falls,

The choked up cities with all their malls.

And that’s not all, we don’t stop there,

Oh why should we; for we don’t care!

We use and throw, for we cannot see,

That our children will inherit this misery.

What we do now, will leave a mark,

Our children will grow up in this dark

For the light, the green that we have seen,

Will soon become, a once ‘has been’

We kill, we scour,

Squeeze, devour,

We crush, we choke,

Stomp and loot,

Doing what we do best,

Pollute, Pollute, Pollute!

STOP! Look around and see,

The devastation stretches for as far as the eye

can see.

The air is heavy, trees groan and hurt,

The rivers and lakes are filled with dirt.

We cannot breathe, and yet we persist,

This chain of madness, must desist.

Our children must live,

At least think of that.

STOP! Look around and see,

The devastation stretches for as far as the eye

can see.

Stop the cutting, the felling the pain,

For soon we won’t have a second chance, again!

See Her through My Eyes!

Angels from heaven spread their arms

And there lay cozily a little beauty

With benevolence

And with affluent charm.

Within a wink of my eyes

She appeared on my lap.

My big world squeezed into a little life;

Nothing could I see beyond her ties.

I felt her little arms,

Touched her pounding heart.

With glowing eyes and boastful sigh

Announced, SHE is ours!

Ages passed and she grew and grew.

Who knew she would embrace every virtueKind the heart, thoughtful the mind,

Patient the soul and positive the vibe.

Oh World, answer me,

How could someone be as complete as she?

She is my essence of life.

No wonder how stern the world may be,

She shall not fear and never hide.

By the virtue of her calm demeanor

Of course, she’ll fight every tide.

Smile when I wept alone,

Nor even ignored my need!

It shone always | looked for it

It listened to my heed!

i spoke through my eyes

And it rebuked on my deed,

No aesthetic thoughts we had

To please each other's feed!

It's been a mate to peep on him

It's always the one to creed,

My bond with it, is un-withered

For I grew, and it took my lead!

I pack my memories in a suitcase

Then,all I need is a corner

To peep from the opening

And take dive as a child!

A twist and a turn

Then crib for a wish.

If this could change!

Merrier I could be!

Then a sigh of agony

And I come out.

Then again I lock it,

To relish throughout!

WE CARE FOR YOU !!

In spite of having same number of eyes, ears, nose and lips; each one of us has unique facial features. Similarly, each one

of us is neurologically similar yet absolutely unique

All students have the right to an education that meets their needs and allows them to reach their full potential.

Diversity is valued and respected in the classroom.

Students with disabilities are integrated into regular classrooms and provided with necessary support and accommodations.

Teachers receive appropriate training and resources to support the learning of all students.

The curriculum is inclusive and relevant to all students.

Inclusive education benefits not only students with disabilities but also their non-disabled peers. By creating a more inclusive and

welcoming learning environment, all students can learn and grow together.

What is Neurodiversity?

Neurodiversity refers to the idea that there is a natural range of differences in the way that people's brains function. This includes

differences in things like learning styles, attention, and the way that people process information. Neurodiversity can include conditions

like ADHD, dyslexia, and autism, as well as variations in things like intelligence and personality.

The concept of neurodiversity is often used to challenge the idea that certain ways of thinking or behaving are \"normal\" or \"abnormal,\"

and instead suggests that there is value in the diversity of human brains and the ways that they work.

Why the need for acceptance of Neurodiversity?

The acceptance of neurodiversity means recognizing and valuing the differences in the way that people's brains function and develop. It

involves acknowledging that these differences are a normal and natural part of human diversity and that they should be celebrated and

respected, rather than stigmatized or pathologized.

Accepting neurodiversity involves acknowledging that there is no one \"right\" way to think or learn and that different approaches to

education and employment can be equally valid and valuable. It also involves recognizing that neurodiversity can be a source of strength

and creativity and that neurodiverse individuals can make valuable contributions to society.

Advocates of neurodiversity argue that traditional approaches to education and employment often fail to adequately accommodate the

needs and strengths of neurodiverse individuals. They argue that a more inclusive and supportive society would benefit not only

neurodiverse individuals but also the wider community.

What is Inclusive Education?

Inclusive education is an educational approach that aims to provide an education that is accessible and welcoming to all students,

regardless of their abilities, disabilities, or other characteristics. Inclusive education involves creating a learning environment that is

flexible and responsive to the diverse needs of all students, and that recognizes and values their differences.

Key principles of inclusive education:

Inclusive classrooms can be beneficial for all students, including those who are neurodiverse. Here are some ways that teachers can

support neurodiversity in the classroom:

Offer a range of learning materials and methods: Different students may respond better to different types of materials and teaching

methods. By providing a variety of resources, teachers can accommodate the needs of neurodiverse students.

Use visual aids: Visual aids can be helpful for students who have difficulty processing verbal information. Graphs, charts, and

diagrams can make complex ideas easier to understand.

Provide accommodations: Accommodations, such as extra time on tests or the use of assistive technology, can help level the playing

field for neurodiverse students.

Foster a positive classroom culture: Creating a welcoming and inclusive classroom culture can help neurodiverse students feel more

comfortable and supported.

Educate yourself and your students: Learning about neurodiversity can help create a more understanding and supportive environment

for all students.

Be flexible: Every student is unique, and what works for one student may not work for another. Be open to trying new approaches

and adapting to the needs of individual students.

How to make classrooms Inclusive for all students?
