Vision without action is a dream. Action without vision is….. Just passing time. Action without vision makes….. A positive difference.
Our Newsletter is a kaleidoscopic amalgamation of the literary and creative talents
of the students. It mirrors our hopes and aspirations and gives us an opportunity to
have mind boggling sessions to learn, to explore and excel in team work. At the
same time it teaches the value of cooperation to all involved.
“When people work together in harmony and peace
everything seems bright and sunny
when there is team enthusiasm, trust and belief
the result is always great.”
Newsletter 2010 is an inaugural issue which will provide each student of MPS ample
opportunities to express his/her inherent and dynamic personality traits through
various genres of writing. It is a projection of expression and a canvas that depicts
the wonderful scene at MPS. We acknowledge the benevolent support of Madam
Principal Mrs. Alka Kapur who has made this issue of the Newsletter possible.
We wish that with each passing year our endeavour will achieve more perfection.
We are sure that all the readers will find it interesting and enjoyable reading this
Newsletter column. We seek your critical feedback to enable us to improve further.

It gives me immense joy to see that our school has, over the years, acquired the true mark of excellence as
a world class school, not only in the field of academic learning, but in all areas of educational activity.
Youth resonates with infinite potential. Youth is our future. I believe that the students’ accomplishments
will exceed with wildest dreams.
The school is in constant and continuous process of educating and enhancing the personality and
Knowledge of children, infusing them with a greater degree of confidence and poise than what their
predecessors gained from the school.
Children have an impressionable mind full of curiosity and sensitivity, always seeking avenues to express
their ideas. I have been striving to sharpen the quality of that consciousness and an urge in them to excel
by providing ample opportunities for tapping this potential.
I share my joy and applaud the creative contributions of students and members of MPS family in bringing
out this issue of “ Vision of Modernities.”

I started on my homework
But I lost my pencil
My ratty rat churned my notebook
My computer went blank
My naughty notebook played hide and
seek
My bossy brother pulled my chair
I ran and pulled his ear
My mommy mum shouted and pulled me up
My darling dad did not even support me
But wait! What am I upto?
Finding excuses, scratching my brain
It’s better to finish my work fast
And then to run out to play.

Flying
I saw the moon
Yesterday in the night
Playing with clouds
A chasing game
It was the cloud who won
But where has the moon gone
It was behind the cloud
The secret disclosed by my mom
Soon it was shining again
Bright with its silvery smile.

My Best Friend Although you live far away from me
I always feel like you are with me,
I love to share my happiness with you
I love to share my sadness with you
To me you are an idol of glee,
And our friendship means a lot to me,
You are an ocean of happiness,
You are a pond of joy
You are the rays of sunshine
That brought amusement to my life.
I like sharing my thoughts with you,
Because you are such a wonderful person to be
around.
My life would have been a tragedy without you,
I am lucky to have a friend like you.

The name of my school is Modern Public School. It is a very
big and beautiful school. My school has three floors. My
classroom is very big. Everyday I see swings near my class
and sometimes I take a ride on the swings. Children par-
ticipate in various festival celebrations. I like all the teach-
ers in the school. We have a fruit period for ten minutes
during in which eating fruit is compulsory and this keeps us
healthy and fit. We learn through smart class where our
teachers show us beautiful modules. I love my school very
much.

Nature
One day I sat down under a tree
Suddenly came black clouds
That scared me.
I saw them gather together
And thought that they were
Talking about me.
Came the rains
That made me run helter shelter
I stopped and realized
It is so nice to be with the nature.
Nature is life nature is God
Don ’ t spoil it my friends
Because it ’ s mother to all.

Child Labour
Many children have smiling faces
And fun many a times,
But there are some children
Who never even have enough to dine,
They have to work all day,
To earn their daily pay
Some of them do cleaning, some of them do
wearing
But still its difficult for them To make a decent living.
Why can’t these children enjoy if we can?
Only because they are the children of poor men
Why do they have to bear their master’s rod?
Is it because they are children of a lesser God?
Please stop child labour,
No more mournful nights,
But only innocent faces
With happy smiles and sparkling eyes.

What is common between
Autumn leaves and Ripening Bananas
The green colour in unripe bananas comes from chlorophyll, the same pigment that
gives green leaves their colour. As bananas ripen, the chlorophyll breaks down and
disappears, revealing the yellow colour, which was there along.
The yellow and orange of autumn leaves are also revealed as
their chlorophyll breaks down. When banana ripens, the
starch changes to sugar and flesh softens as pectin
(a carbohydrate) breaks down.

Precautions to Prevent Heat Related Health Conditions
Wear light-colored, lightweight clothing that is loose fitting for air circulation.
Wear a hat or use an umbrella when outside, even if you are not in the direct sun. Use sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or greater, anytime you go outside.
Water is the beverage of choice in the summer. Drink water before outdoor activities and drink water at regular intervals during the day. Avoid beverages with caffeine or alcohol that can aid dehydration.
Try to schedule outdoor activities for cooler times of the day—before 10 a.m. and after 6 p.m.
During outdoor activity, take rest breaks frequently and drink water every 15 to 20 minutes, even if you don’t feel thirsty. If you have clear, pale urine, you are probably drinking enough fluids.
If you have a chronic medical problem, talk to your doctor about additional precautions you should take to prevent heat related illness. Some conditions and medications may place you at higher risk.
If you show any signs of heat related illness try to get to a cooler place as soon as possible, sip some cool fluids and sponge yourself off with lukewarm top water.

Higher temperatures are a part of the summer season, but over the last few years
it seems that not a summer goes by without a fatal heat wave. Seniors especially
are at risk from heat related health problems. These conditions can range from mild discomfort to full-fledged emergencies.
Heat Related Conditions
Heat stress occurs when the body is strained as a result of hot weather. Heat
fatigue is a feeling of weakness brought from high outdoor temperature. Symptoms
include cool, moist skin and a weakened pulse. The person may feel faint. Heat
Syncope is sudden dizziness experienced after exercising in the heat. The skin appears pale and sweaty but is generally moist and cool. The pulse may be
weakened, and the heart rate is usually rapid. Body temperature is normal. Heat
cramps are painful muscle spasms in the abdomen, arms or legs following
strenuous activity. The skin is usually moist and cool and the pulse is normal or
slightly raised. Body temperature is mostly normal. Heat cramps often are caused by a lack of salt in the body, but salt replacement should not be considered
without advice from physician. Heat exhaustion is a warning that the body is
getting too hot. The person may be thirsty, giddy, weak, uncoordinated, nauseous,
and sweating profusely. The body temperature is usually normal and the pulse is
normal or raised. The skin is cold and clammy. Although heat exhaustion often is
caused by the body’s loss of water and salt, salt supplements should only be taken with advice from a doctor. Heat stroke can be LIFE -THREATENING! Victims of
heat stroke almost always die, so immediate medical attention is essential when
problems first begin. A person with heat stroke has a body temperature above
104.F . Other symptoms may include confusion, combativeness, bizarre behavior,
faintness, staggering and strong rapid pulse, dry flushed skin, lack of sweating, possible delirium or coma

Good comes from something bad,
There are tears of happiness and sadness
Everyone has a guardian angel.
Good always goes rewarded well.
The sun Shines after the rain.
If you don’t get hurt you will never gain.
Don’t do things the easy way,
Being selfish never pays.
Believe that dreams do come true,
There is destiny for you and me.

POLITICS & YOUTH The India that we have today was never thought of by our Leaders. It is so because we are still an imperviously sovereign, incompe-tently socialist, illiberally secular and an immaturely democratic republic of India. We are a country of 1 billion but a nation of only 500 i.e. we have a huge unutilized capacity to become a full fledged democracy. What we presently lack is the ability. There are many misconceptions which breed in today’s society and are percolating down to the younger generation. That is why politics is shunned in today’s world. Ask any 10 year old about what he wants to become when he grows up??? He would say, Doctor,
Lawyer, Engineer, Police Officer, Cricketer but never a politician. Why so?? The future of a nation lies on in its polity, the citizens and thereby its youth. On the other hand the young generation seems too pre-occupied with pressures of daily life such as education, environment, livelihood, luxury and indulgence. According to them politics is that bog (marshy place) which no one would like to step into as their conscience would not allow to do so. Therefore the demand of a good leader does not meet any supply curve with the end result that there is no interaction as their exists no market. But the fact remains that the youth has a tremendous role to play in politics. As of today it might seem as uncharted territory but given time, things will improve and someone has to make a begin-ning. Youth has a creative outlook, a positive attitude required to face the ills of the country and yet move ahead and tackle them squarely instead of making speeches and polite conversations. Youth has the zeal, enthusiasm and energy to work for various issues of our country instead of masquerading under the banner of ‘India Shining’. Youth is the future of the country. There are many more issues to be dealt with than are apparent in the day to day life. Our govt. machinery is unnecessarily loaded with vile bureaucrats with deep pockets always waiting and wanting to be filled endlessly. So as the common but aware and educated citizens of the country we should put our hands up and take responsibility and impose our rights in this democratic land. We should get together and raise our voice in unison for the betterment of the country and for a better TOMORROW. Shubham Mittal XII B

SANSKRIT IS THE ROOT OF
INTERNATIONAL LANGUAGES
The first script as given to the world by India, was the „Bhramni Script’. It is believed that „Bhramni Script‟
is as old as India. It was discovered approximately 194 Crores years ago. After that Sanskrit language was
discovered in India, which could be expressed in writing also. The script of Sanskrit is Dev Nagri which
taught reading, writing and speaking to the world for the first time. Not only this, all other languages such
as German, Spanish, French, Turkish, Portuguese, and Italian etc were also derived from Sanskrit. It is hard
for us to believe that today also in many German Universities Sanskrit is taught as the main subject.
Germany is the First country that introduced Sanskrit in a special university, which is also named after an
Indian Sanskrit Professor. Every year German Government spends a huge amount on Ideology, which
means the study of facts and theories proved by India, because they are a great believer of Sanskrit. The
German Airlines Company „Lufthansa‟ is also named after a Sanskrit word “Luft-hans”, which means an
extinct bird, which was once mostly found in India. Now, it has been proved by the Scientists that Sanskrit
is the best algorithm for the working of computers because of its unique qualities. Sanskrit has such a
perfect grammar, that today in 21st
century also the Grammar is as it is , as it was discovered thousands of
years ago by „Maharishi Panini‟. Even languages like French and German have the same “Shabd roops and
Dhatu roops” like they are in Sanskrit language. However, deliberately some changes were made in these
Languages so as to differentiate between them and Sanskrit . Sanskrit language has the largest Vocabulary
consisting of 282 Crores and 50 Lakh words in it. If we talk of Literature, then Sanskrit is the largest
literature in the world, but it could not be noticed because of its negligence. Due to the immense knowledge
present in Sanskrit Literature, Britishers have stolen everything from India and recreated it to be spread in
their country. We, Indian can proudly boast that Sanskrit is the root of international languages.

What if God decided to stop leading us tomorrow because we didn’t follow him today? What if we never saw another flower bloom because we grumbled when God sent the
rain? What if God didn’t walk with us today because we failed to recognize it as his day?
What if God took away his message because we failed to listen to the messenger?
What if the door of the church is closed because we didn’t open the door of our hearts?

Queen’s Baton 2010 Delhi
The Queen’s Baton 2010 Delhi was unveiled at a spectacular cultural show held at India Gate in New Delhi on March
8, 2009. The Queen’s Baton 2010 Delhi is a combination of handcrafted excellence and precision engineering; it’s a
true symbol of India, a blend of its ancient roots and present vibrant, modern identity. It is also representative of
India’s diversity – the baton’s colour scheme showcases ‘soils’ from every corner of the country, a rich palette
ranging from white sands to yellow clay, deep reds to dark browns and an array of other hues.
The shape and design of the baton has been created using a triangular section of aluminum which is twisted in the
form of a helix and coated with soil in a graduating pattern. The interweaving of coloured soils, including white sands,
deep reds, warm yellows, dark browns and an array of other hues creates a very distinctive design, form and texture
never before seen in the styling of a Queen’s Baton. The very essence of India with its diversity and unrelenting
endeavour towards a harmonious and progressive nation has shaped the inspiration of the baton.
The Queen’s message has been symbolically engraved onto a miniature 18 carat gold leaf representative of the
ancient Indian ‘pathras’. The gold leaf inscription reflects the essence and the richness of culture in ancient India.
Modern laser technology known as micro calligraphy has been used for the first time to reproduce the Queen’s
message in this style. The Queen’s Baton 2010 Delhi is at 664 millimeters high and is 34 millimeters wide at the
base, and 86 millimeters wide at the top and weighs a mere 1,900 grams. The Queen’s Baton 2010 Delhi is created
using processes and technologies existing in India by Foley Design in partnership with Titan Industries and a
technology consortium led by Bharat Electronics Limited.
The Queen’s Baton Relay is one of the great traditions of the Commonwealth Games, having been the curtain-raiser
to every Games since Cardiff in 1958. The relay symbolizes the gathering of people from across the Commonwealth
at the four-yearly festival of sport and culture. The relay traditionally begins with a commencement ceremony at
Buckingham Palace, London, which coincides with the city’s Commonwealth Day festivities. There, Her Majesty
Queen Elizabeth II entrusts the baton containing Her ‘message to the athletes’ to the first honorary relay runner. The
relay concludes at the Opening Ceremony as the final relay runner hands the baton back to Her Majesty, or Her
representative, and the message is read aloud. At that moment the relay ends and the Games begin. Over the years
the Queen’s Baton Relay has evolved into a powerful symbol of the unity and diversity of the Commonwealth of
Nations. With each Games, the tradition grows in scale and significance– including more nations, involving more
participants and generating more excitement than ever before.
