My First Cross-Country RaceMy first cross country race was
when I was in 7th standard. I got up earlyand wore my house colour T-Shirt withfull pride and self-confidence. We knewthat the house victory depended on us.I entered the parade ground seekingblessings of all the gods, especiallyJesus. With my heart full of courage Iwent straight to the starting point. Myhouse master came to us and gave usinstructions. Of course ourappointments were the brain behind it.The whistle was blown and all the 6th
standards cheered us. It was one of myunforgettable moments. I was biting mycollar so that I would not suffocate. Butafter the parade ground, I got angry andleft my collar.
I ran and reached the quarters, Isaw Jayesh some 50m ahead of me. Isurely thought I would reach the firstenclosure. The race was getting tougher
There I saw Subham Sinha & Anchannear me. When I entered the paradeground, Himanshu had just entered theenclosure and was the first boy to reach.Mean while Adarsh and Jayesh hadfinished the race, followed by RahulRanjan. At last I finished the race,reaching the Ist enclosure. It was the firstcross country of my life. Though ourhouse was Runners up, in my mind wewere the champions. I will keep in mindthat cross country where the 7th standardsshowed their might in front of theirjuniors and continuously encouragedthem to keep up the same spirit.

and the destination was far ahead.Blood flowed faster through my nervesand I tightened my fist, took lead. Therace was the same like our life- full ofbushes, rocks, pits etc. The main part isthat we should over come it. Soon Ireached inside where our cadets call it"forest" My seniors used to scare ustelling that while they ran the crosscountry, they saw fox, jackals, snakesetc. But there I did not find anything.Then my common sense started tellingme “ You better concentrate on your raceor else sometimes our house may notget the trophy”. My concentration wasfully on the race.
At last I reached out of the forestand swimming pool. It is a turning pointof race. Any thing can happen at anytime. I was afraid through out the racethat I would be pushed by some oneelse. I reached near the game store.

“Men commonly thinkaccording to their inclinations, speakaccording to their learning, but actaccording to their custom”. Thesefamous words are from the famouswriter Francis Bacon. It means that theday we are born, we are made to haveconditions and terms. We start gettingconstant inputs from the parentsteachers, elders and various otherinfluences. These influences play amajor role in shaping our personality.
Most people in this world havegrown up thinking that their future andits possibilities are limitless, but theyreach adulthood by taking things offeredby the world. Along the way, over theyears of upbringing,the negative effectsof being told “You are a clum”, Don’tover estmate your ability”, “Don’t be toooptimistic” and many other statementsregarding one’s ability and nature resultin individual is thinking that many things

LEARNING FROM WOMB TO TOMB
Develop the habit of positivethinking. There may be some skillswhich you might have failed to masterbut by simply brooding over it you can’tavoid negative tendency.
You have to question yourselfbefore allowing a negative tendency. TheQuestion is. “Is that really true”Everytime you question you learn a newthing. It is your true learning that leadsyou to the greatest rollercoaster - “Thelife” A great man has summoned allexperiences of life in one line “Thewisest mind has something yet to learn”.In fact we have never learnt anythingwhich is complete in itself. We learn solittle and forget so much. It is the onlytreasure which follows its ownereverywhere. So it is clear why you haveto take whatever pain possible to enrichyour knowledge.
are impossible. They are not even worthtrying. In fact one forgets that every onehas his or her own abilities. You should
therfore give it a second thought andavoid getting trapped in this conditionedthinking. Remember the quote by thephilosopher Aristotle “Learning is not achild’s play, we can’t learn withoutpain”.
The moment you are in TENSION
You will lose your ATTENTION
Then you are in total CONFUSION
And you feel IRRITATION
Then you’ll spoil personal RELATIONS
Ultimately you won’t get CO-OPERATION
You’ll make things a COMPLICATION
Then you BP might raise a CAUTION
Avoid Tension 5084 Fibin Filal
And you may have to take MEDICATION
Instead try to think about the SOLUTINON
Many problems will be solved by DISCUSSION
Which will be better in your PROFESSION
Don’t think it’s my free SUGGESTION
It’s only for your PROTECTION
If you understand my INTENTION
You’ll never be in TENSION

English is accepted as a
universal language around the globe.
Probably, there will not be any other
language which is more versatile than
English on the earth. English has also
acquired the world fame as an
international language. Now a days
internet and other such high speed
communication systems gain
prominence and in them too English is
used as a communication medium.
Considering our country, India, English
language has exerterd a profound in
fluence. After the British regime, English
language played a huge role in unifying
the princely states which existed inside
India during that period. In all schools
around the globe English is taught as a
primary task of child’s education. The
dexterity in using English language was
at its zenith during the period of freedom
struggle in India. Learning English
enables a person to express his thought
in front of any international organization.
This English has degraded over times
and nowadays books with high literary
value are scarce. The only way to
enhance the skill in using English in a
person is by introducing good books
with chaste English to him.
In olden times children were very
good at speaking English because of their
reading habit. Now a days children are
only interested in facile comic strips which
has least literary value compared to other
books. In all the different fields like
Medicine, Engineering Astronomy etc.
English is considered as a foundation.
All international examinations are
conducted in English. Awareness
classes and programmes about natural
calamities and disasters are conducted
internationally through English.
Nowadays deadly viral diseases
are spreading at an alarming rate.
Posters depicting the ways to prevent
such diseases, symptoms of diseases
etc are mainly prepared and advertised
in English. Therefore people in the rural
areas must be aware of basic English.
In this age of outsourcing and
globalisation it is quite common that
people go out in search of jobs offering
higher salaries. The main reason for the
versatality and adaptability of English is
that, it accepts words from other
languages like German, French, Latin
etc. For example, the word ‘Restaurant’
the orgin of the word is truly from
French. Mahatma Gandhi and Nehru
became successful in attaining
independence by delivering strong
speeches in English which actually
shook the foundation of British regime
in India. Understand the power of
English and try to learn it well.

round one went to the church, and godspowers were unquestioned.
Then, as legend goes, an applefell some centuries later, and instead ofeating it, Newton found the Law ofGravity. He followed it by findings inoptics, calculus, laws of motion,geometry etc. ‘Principia de Mathematicia’rocked the very foundation of the ideaof an omnipotent God. The motion ofthe heavenly bodies was not captainedby any god but a few mathematicalequations. Round two went to science.
Many theories of Newton werelater put under the anvil as scientists, anew creed of man, began to findproperties and sequences in the waythings happen in our vast universe.Later, the need to introduce dual natureof light was felt and the ensuingconfusion was insurmountable. Then,a clerk in a German patent office

Therefore it is theinherent quality of humans to be curiousabout how life and subsequently,themselves, came to be. In the darkages, men thought earth was the centreof our universe and the heavens werethe abode of gods ands goddesses whodefied any understanding. Then a manfound out scientific proof that earthrevolved around the sun but the powerof ignorance was so much that he wasforced to keep his theory under cover.Then another man, the world famousGalileo proposed that stars were hugefireballs and not palaces of gods. Hewas lucky not to be beheaded. Why didthese men bother? They could have keptquiet and said Ignorance is bliss. So
Nature and her secrets lay hiddenin the dark. God said "Let Newton be,and all was light.''
It is pointless to ask what scienceis, as the classical, monotonousdefinition has been hammered into themind of millions of children throughoutthe world for many centuries. But, whyscience? For many students, itrepresents a hurdle in their life and theywonder why they should study it whenthey have nothing to do with itafterwards. The answer is simple.Science is the curiosity towards

published a paper in 1905. Theories ofGod and heaven were therown away.Even science was rattled by its core. Theclerk, or Alber t Einstein as was hisname, published few more papers in1915, which we know today as thegeneral theory of relativity. Mass whichwas taken to be constant in all equationstill then, was proved to vary with respectto velocity. A speed limit was put on allbodies, that is, the speed of light wasthe ultimate barrier. This achievementseems huge and wonderful, but whatled to it was a question which he askedwhen he was a child “what would wesee, if we were to catch up with light?”Light would no longer be light as it isrelative to the observer. It would be

stationary, and hence the speed limit.
Relativity caused such a majorupheaval that radical theories andfantastic breakthroughs began tohappen by the day. Science won thematch.
There was no looking back.Theories and hypotheses were provenand disproven. Models were madeaccurate upto the order of 10-30 units.Even the inherent uncertainty in naturewas brought to the fore withmathematics as the tool of exploration.It is upto us to continue this victory marchonwards and find the ‘truth’. Theachievement would be the crowningglory of humankind.

The Women of
5058Swathi B.A.
Behind every successful manthere is a woman. But her role is seldomundrestood. A woman is the other halfof man. Women have equal right in allaspects like education, business, family,political issues, or any other field whichis of importance in the progress of acountry.
Women are deprived of even thebasic joy of being literate. The enormoustalent resident in them has never beennurtured. They are confined to the fourwalls of the houses. Dowry is anotherproblem faced by women in India.
Indian Women should comeforward to take the challenge of runningthe country. They should adopt a life of

The time is very precious for us.Each and every second has its ownimportance. It is said that the time wehave lost will never comeback. So, weshould think about our future not past.We can’t stop the time. The time is going.Some people are using it and some are
misusing it. I am going to tell a shortstory on the precious time. By listeningto this story you can’t even imagine howmuch valuable time is. As we know P.T.Usha was one of the fastest womenrunner of this world. In an athletic meetshe participated in 100 metre running.But unfor tunately she lost the firstposition and got second position. Shelost Ist position due to difference of1/100 minute. If 1/100th minuteconsists this much importance thenthink about yourself. How much timeyou are spoiling. Some will say “Oh! Imissed my flight because I was oneminute late.” So, we should be punctual
and not waste time because time hasits own significance. It is said that wecan’t comparea lakh of rupees to evena single minute. We all should be a strictfollowers of time. A person lives a veryhappy life when he does all his work inproper time. The person who doesn’tgive importance to time can’t achievehis ambition. So, forbeing a successfulperson we should give muchimportance to the precious time.
Todaysimplicity. Woman is not a play thing ofman she is not born just to satisfy thelust of man. One should stand in theshoes of a woman to know what her truefeelings and thoughts are. Gandhiji says“Women should avoid the extreme needfor wealth for showy dress anddecorations. There’s always a naturalscent originating from the inner hearts
of women”. Therefore they are notrequired to attract others by applyingscent.
Women’s heart is very noble andhumble. They are the embodiment ofsacrifice, silent suffering, humility, faithand knowledge. Women have the powerto understand any situation withoutbeing taught.

Dear Friends,
The year was 1967 ... a very goodyear ..as, it was the year of romance..
..We had come back, from takingpar t in the Republic day parade, inDelhi..and before that we were lucky togo through, the preparatory camp atMunnar, at least I was lucky, as I met mygirl friend Vatsala, there. We were in thesame singing group rending out onebeautiful malayalam song after another ,in the evenings.
“Gayakare unarunaroo…Kadhikare unarunaroo…”; “vandeepuka vandee..vandi vandi ninnepolevayarinakathum theeyanu ..”
The day the song practice was notthere, we somehow found a way to meet ,outside the Spencer’s mini mall. Shewas great company during the trainjourney to Delhi and back.
I became , a very ardent devotee ,of Srikandeswara Temple in Vanchiyoor,in Trivandrum, her house was next tothis temple.
I think, I picked up the rudimentsof writing, from this period, in shortestnumber of words, I had to tell her, howmuch, she meant to me .
After a year, of frenetic letterwritings, and risky visits to the alleys ,behind the temple to meet her, theromance petered out. Her parents caughther with my letters, and laughed at herfor romancing a School boy, when shewas already in college ..
Final straw, was the caste factor.How can a brahmin girl, even think ofmarrying a Nair boy, that too a schoolgoing boy.
Happy School days215 Madhav Rajan
There was nothing else, to lookforward to, except NDA results.Thencame a breather..
A trek to Cour tallam falls...MrPendred, our British volunteer , cumfootball coach, cum , English teacher,cum Director, of all Shakespeareanplays, like Comedy of Errors , and hisfriend Smith , were willing to take us fora trek, to Courtallam Falls , in TamilNadu. ...we were to be, dropped at aplace called TENMALA, then had towalk on foot.. Fifty kilometers , towardsTamil Nadu border , Aryankavu , crossover to Shenkottai, in Tamil Nadu, makea base at Courtallam Falls 5 Kilometersaway, and then, be brought back toSSKZM by bus..
..We trekked with our Haversacks ,with a cheerful forest stream, keepingus company and at odd times, old ladiesused to peek out from their shanties, onthe side of the road, and berate us, whycan’t you people be a little more patient..there is a bus every Three hours toShencottai..
...Our British Volunteers..tried tomake our hike, a little more interesting.
They made us, sing aloud ..a BritishMarching Song ..
...”Roll me over, on the clover ..Roll me over on the Clover .. ....”
At Aryankavu we crossed over toTamil nadu, passed through Shencottai,and reached cour tallam falls.... arefreshing bath at the water fall ..spiritssoaring.. we all were singing..
... “ Hurray , Hurrah ..we sing sohappily..Hurrah, Hurrah ..the place thatmakes us free….and so we sang thechorus, from Trivandrum to the sea......as we were marching ..fromPangode “
…Bring the good old bugle boys’ll sing another song, sing it with aspirit that will move the wheelsalong…..
Sing it as we used to sing it , twoand fifty strong, as we were marchingfrom Pangode”
Back in the school,with memoriesof a Grand ..Summer of ’67.

E = MC2 PROVED WRONGEINSTIEN WRONG ?
5215 Naveen Hari
If extraodinary claims requireextraordinary evidences, then Scientistsinvolved in an experiment called OPERA(oscillation project with emulsion-tracking apparatus) have provided justthat, when 60 nanoseconds threatenmodern physics a sentence which isknown to all. Yes, with the discovery ofneutrinos, particles that travel faster thanlight, the foundation of modern physicsis shaking.
Nautrinos fired from a supercollideroutside Geneva to an undergroundlaboratory in Gransasso Italy took lesstime than light to get there. A beam oflight would take 2.4 milliseconds tocover this distance. This meansneutrinos were travelling at a speed of299,798, 454 metres per second. Whilethe speed of light in a vaccum is slower
at 299, 792, 458 metres per second.This new discovery shocked scientistsall over the world. Albert Einstien’s 1905special theory of relativity that statesnothing can travel faster than light is nowin doubt. If it is proved wrong the veryfoundation of modern physics will bedemolished. Another one veryInteresting fact is that if neutrinos cantravel faster than light less time for travelmay be possible. The theory is verysimple to understand. Imagine you canrun with the speed of a neutrino. Youare standing In a race track. The lightfrom the sun (any other light source)touches your body and reflects. At thesame moment you start running. Youbeing faster than light reaches first inthe finishing line. When you look backyou can see your own self in the past. Ifyou keep running, at some stage youmay beat the light which reflected from
Akbar’s Court. One defect: No sound.Because sound travels much slower. Yetanother amazing fact is that nothing canstop a neutrino. They are formed whenstars explode. It may or may not beproved that neutrinos travel faster thanlight. If proved, New technologies willcome to existence. What I say is “Hopefor the best”.

As you all know the bond offriendship is stronger than the bond offevi-kwik. It depends with whom youwant to be bonded to. A strong, close,good, true friend-ship will never sink.To call somebody a ‘friend’ means that
5002 Nandan Kumar
he is one among the few relations onthe earth that never dies. Friendshiphelps to make a friend strong. You canenjoy the love more given by the friendsif you make it close. Choosing a friendshould be slow, changing him shouldbe even slower.
’A friend in need is a friend indeed.’This English proverb means that, a truefriend is someone who helps you whenyou are in need. Some don’t know whatfriendship actually means. When you are
in danger, only a true friend will guideyou and will make you free from danger,that also without any harm. A friend cansee the mark of his friendship on theearth below and the heaven above.
Remember, anyone can achievewhat he wants, even if it is difficult, withthe help of his true friends. So makefriends, attain prosperity and share it withthem. The friend who tastes hisfriendship like nectar, bit by bit will relishit forever and, besides, not overtax it.

As I was watching the Nature,I saw a mother bird with her little one
As I was going through the villageI saw a mother feeding her child.
As I was going to the Railway stationI saw a mother hugging her child.
As I was going to the hospital,I saw a mother sitting beside and taking care.
As I was going to the shop,I saw a poor mother asking alms for her children.
Loving Mother
While I was sleeping and dreaming,I saw my mother loving and caring whole night.
Then I realise the real meaning of motherOH! Mother we can’t fathom your love
And care throughout our life.

All I have is you:
That makes me see everything as new
They seem fresh like leaf top dew
In this vast world, people like you will sure be few.
There may be many, who attract others
But only a few who influence others-like you.
You seem like a camera as you make me still
You are also the one who makes me thrill
I feel as if you are near me now,
Reason is the one I need to know, but how?
You stood near me and made me understand
By always giving me a lending hand.
4713Aravind Babu S
All I have is You...You are one of the few lucky charms,
Who causes me no kind of harm:
In thisworld, all are in a kind of race,
But I will never forget you and your face
You are appreciated by everyone
For your nature and look;
But you are most appreciated
For the hard work you took.
“Please don’t leave me” is all I have to say to you,
as All I have is You.....

Luck is not in your handWork is in your hand
Your work can make luckBut luck cannot make your work.
Past is experience,Present is experiment
and future is expectation.Use your experience in your
experiment to achieve your expectation.Always ask God to give you
What you deservenot what do you desire,
It is because your desire may be fewbut you deserve a lot
Remember thatYou are very special
No one can playYour role better than you
You are uniqueSo love yourself always.
It was raining in the nightMy eyes felt on a little rain dropHe spoke to me you know!As the rain became slow.
He rolled like a dimondIn the light of the moonWhat a wonderful sight!What a wonderful sight.
He cried suddenlyMy heart became softLike the feather of the peacockI spoke to him you know!
“Why are you crying little one”?“My family is dying” said he“What’s so wrongTo happen like that?”.
“Because the people pollute us” replied heSuddenly some one called meIt was a dream, indeed a good oneI will not forget my little friend and his familyWho appeared in my dream.

The growing population is a bigchallenge to India and world as well. Thelatest baby born and the 102 year oldHilla Sorab Billimoria of Kolkotarepresent, between them, two ends ofIndia’s complex population story.
At one end are the staggeringnumbers. With an estimated 1.21 billionpeople, India is a “Population billionaire”next only to China (1.34 billion), as theUN population fund described thecountry in a recent report titled India @7 billion. By 2025 India will overtakeChina to become the world’s mostpopulous country, with the numbersexpected to exert enormous pressure onnatural resources.
That 11 babies of the 51 borneveryminute are in India. The lowestranking Indian states on the humandevelopment Index, highlights the
5084 Fibin Filalimperatives of Indian planners providingacess to food, water, health, shelter,sanitation, education and jobs to all, thesame time, balancing these againstscarce resources, safeguarding theenvironment and protecting againstclimate change. But India’s decadalpopulaiton growth rate, which toucheda high of over 24 percent in the 1970’s,is slowing down. According to the 2011census, it was 17.64 per cent in the lastdecade. That presents bothopportunities and challenges. Lucknow,the capital of India’s Most populousstate, also has one of its worst sex ratios:there are just 899 girls to 1000 boys, asign of endemic descrimation. India nowhas its worst ever child sex ratio: thereare just 914 girls for every 1000 boysaccordig to the 2011 census. Ten yearsago, the 2011 census found it was 927:
1000. The decline has continued apacesince 1961; Though things areimproving in some state among themPunjab, Haryana, Gujarat, HimachalPradesh, Mizoram, Tamil Nadu and theAndaman and Nicobar Islands, theoverall picture is grim.
India’s maternal mortality ratio- thenumber of women dying due to maternalcauses per 1,00,000 live bir ths- ispegged at 212. Fifty new borns amongevery 1000 also die. India is strugglingto knock down these numbers, but hashad limited success. Perhaps moreimportant, challenge is the falling sexratio and the “Vanishing” girl population.The shaming numbers underscore thefact that laws have done nothing to curbfemale foeticide or change the culturalpreference for a boy child.
A ll along he sat in darkness aloneShabby, dirty and his mind tornAlone he sought his way outStill in his mind remains a doubtWhy was he born here.In the midst of darkness and fearWhy couldn’t he die nowWhy was he here nowAmong the cruel and vile mindsWho try to stab you from behind.He was broken at lastWhen she came back from pastHe couldn’t believe what he sawAs everything was against the lawLove and hate stood against
Love & Hate
With him in middle and all in haste.He really didn’t know-
Should he stand with hate or loveHe stood beside love and sought
But the hate won the war he foughtAnd now he took a new birth
With anger and hate in his mindBut it was really meant to be his death.

The Importance of
of the world, it is our duty to make abetter world and education is whatempower the children to do so.Therefore it is imperative that they learnthe basement of the past to make a strongfuture.
History has always been a weakspot for many students though notalways. This difficulty has arisen mainlydue to the fact that they do not
understand why they shouldlearn about dead kings and
emperors, long pastevents and seeminglyunimpor tant dates.They quiver at thethought of longboring lecture on thepolitical systems ofEurope and Industri-alization and colo-nialisation. It is this
view of history
that discourages them from likinghistory. They should know that the useof studying history stems from the factthat it is to guide them in the future.Teaching history must be a holisticlearning experience for the students.
Events depicted in the historylessons of students are of greatimportance. These are the events thatchanged the course of the future. Eventslike the world wars, mechanization andindustrialization are what made thepresent as it is. Periods of history likethe dark ages and Renaissance tell us ofthe revival of mankind from longdullness and sorrow. Such events, ifrepeated will change the face of earth.History helps us to be careful in our stepsand work for a better future by learningfrom the past. Historical dates are alsoimportant as it catalogs the falls andleaps of mankind. Wars fought long ago
and its results persuade us to workfor peace. Such an impor tantsubject is an unavoidable part of abudding youth’s educationalcurriculum.
Another aspect which makeshistory boring and fear ful tostudents is the interpretation of
history as ‘his’ story. Students

It is important to study the past so as tounderstand the present, andunderstanding the present dictates allour action.

SUPER FACTS
5039Rishikesh S. Chandran
believe that history is just a story of aman or a king and it has nothing to dowith reality. This is another barrier inmaking history a popular subject.Understanding the importance of historyas a study of the past, to make a betterfuture is necessary for this purpose.Students should be encouraged todiscuss various events and people sothat they can understand the situation ofthe society at that time clearly.Introducing new methods of teachinglike history triv*a and comic strips ofimportant events simplify the hardshipsoften wrongly associated with learninghistory.
Such new methods along withunderstanding the need to learn history
will make the students better prepared forthe future. They learn the valuesdisplayed by various people or evencountries in the past and can actaccordingly for their own betterment.Moreover it helps to build anunderstanding between what has to doneand what should be stopped. History alsohelps us to understanding the earth betterand for conserving its resources. Thebloodshed and massacres seen inhistory teach human beings of theconsequences of their own actions.Revolutions and rebellions teach us whathumanity wants and how best to rulethem. It shows us the hardships andsufferings of people, now long forgottento ensure that such things are not
repeated. History guides us in our pathtowards progress by showing whatdifficulties and problems humanity facedin past during its relentless driventowards progress. It helps us cope withdifficult situations by showing thecourage and co-operation of human inthe long gone centuries.
Learning history helps avoidingmistakes or mishaps in our pursuit ofexcellence and for a student such aguidance in his activities is of utmostimportance. Therefore history, the studyof our pasts that allows us to understandthe present better and plan a good andhappy future is very important. Thesefacts reiterate the value of learninghistory.

I am on holidays at Nenmara,near Palghat, with my parents, sistersand brother, after passing from vi th stdto vii std, in SSKZM. Actually I hadnever, ever …seen the name of thistown on newspaper, until our, famousMinister from Kerala, Shashi Tharoor,decided to marry his Kashmiri bride, ina village near Nenmara. I would be lyingdown on my bed, with my sister andbrother, liying on their stomachs, withtheir palm suppor ting their chin …waiting for me to start ..…I start “ Icome from haunts of coot and hern, Imake a sudden sally And sparkle outamong the fern, to bicker down a valley.By thir ty hills, I hurry down, Or slipbetween the ridges, By twenty thorpes,a little town, And, half a hundred
bridges. They both together repeat “KAMME FRAMME , GONZY GANDI ,CAPRIKOOTTI BATER GANDI, SADDENSALLY, ANDEN SPARLE, LARAMANGA,OOF EARN INTO BIKKAR DOWN ….”
That sounds like the craziestversion of Lord Tennyson’s famouspoem “ The Brook” It remains in my mindafter many many years, because of theway, it was taught to us by our Ladyteacher, Mrs Myrtle Jacob. She madepoem reading, poem writing, poemcomprehension, such fun … I evenstarted writing a poem about the viewfrom our house, overlooking miles ofparrot green paddy fields, gentlyswaying in the breeze, with a chirpystream giving this beautiful greensaree, a golden kasav border ….
Of course it did not impress mymother one bit … “you should beanswering sums af ter sums ofmathematics, then rote aloud all theformulas of elements, compounds, andtheir idiotic chemical reactions… that’swhere your future lies … Kavita is fordaydreaming people, with woollybrains ..”
That would remind me of thepower and influence Balettan sir, heldover us, while in Pangode ..what he saidwas quoted as gospel truth, god’s owncommandments …:never hit a boybehind his head .. he will die, never kickhim on his private parts .. he will konkoff in a second ..”
This got drilled into my mind …at least I knew where to protect myself,in case of the many scuffles I had withfellow cadets … One Abraham,nicknamed me Justice Mathoo … I ranafter him, round and round the redhouse, then the blue house, then thekitchen , and finally caught up with himbehind the row of toilets, where we allusually play ‘seven tiles’ with AJITJACOB and gang..
Abraham warned me .. hit meanywhere except where Balettan sir, toldus not to …. I cut off the confrontationand invited him for a game of seventiles..

sulphate , sodium , potassium and howwe frightened our parents , when theycame on the annual day , by scattering ,dollops of special explosivecompounds , on the floor ..
The elders would step on themand as it gave a cracker of a mini blast, give a shriek of sheer fright .. that woulddelight all of us to no end , making uslaugh and guffaw holding onto ourbellies …

Behind the success of many ofour alumni , in IITs , lies, the steadfastand selfless devotion Balettan sir ,applied in making the subject ofChemistry , easy to understand ,gripping , and a source of wonder …
.. the development of our oldboys association , school journal ,directory … are all because of histireless pioneering efforts ….
...The very pleasure I get in sittingin front of this computer , and chatting
away with my school mates …. I owe toNBN Sir .. no doubt about it …
..his contribution in characterbuilding , personality development ,and confident posture of our cadets ,especially in front of SSB Boards , andother competitive interviews .. areundisputable …I get back to the reality.. my brother and sister are waiting foranother poem …I recite “I wanderedlonely as a cloud , That floats on higho’er vales and hills , when all at once Isaw a crowd….Surprisingly, they both, repeated the words of this famouspoem ,by William Wordsworth exactly ,as above …
Time to take them on in acompetition … ‘ Which is the Capital ’ ?…They are saying the capital of India isCalcutta …. That is true.. but long longback during British days of East Indiacompany … how could they say capitalof America is London … anybodycoming out with an exaggerated tale ..would be dismissed as telling a Londonpulu ( a skyscraper of a bluff)....My mindwanders off to our Geography teacherMr Thomas … his smiling face .. the
way he encouraged us in making thosemaps of North America and Africa …we shaded the outlines with wettedcrayons .. to really impress him..
..I come to reality , as my mothershouts, ‘ what is going on’ .. my brotherand sister had gone off to sleep …
…time to go out and look closelyat the ‘chemparathy poove ’ …thehibiscus flower.. Our Biology teacherMr George Joseph had ingrained in us ,a great love for plants, and evenmicroscopic organisms like amoeba,hydra and paramecium .. ( my brotherrepeated after me ‘ Parameswaran’)..
.. The seeds of my love for nature, flora and fauna , were planted myGeorge Joseph sir …I still rememberthe dancing steps he took , beforedelivering a fiendishly unplayable ,legbreak , at the batsman … … ‘Howzzzaatt’

“Power tends to corrupt andabsolute power corrupts absolutely”.There are the words of John Aton, whocommends upon a dirty reality that existsin all parts of the world - corruptionmeans lack of integrity. It is an act doneto take some advantage inconsistent withofficial duty and rights of others. It isnot just about bribery, but also involvesthe abuse of political power for privategain.
Corruption is a word used by manypeople in India. India has now comeunder the spotlight as a highly corruptednation with cases such as commonwealth games scam, 2G spectrumallocation scam, Bofors scam Adarshhousing society scam, BSNL looting byDayanidhi Maran etc. An alumnus of theprestigerous NDA and an air forceofficer, Suresh, Kalmadi was chieforganiser of the common wealth games.But he was arrested and now islanguishing in Tihar jail for havingallegedly given the conducting rights toa foreign company at high price and thuscausing heavy loss to the government.Then came A.Raja, former telecomminister for having sold the 2G spectrumto those companies which did not fulfilthe conditions for detaining it. About4,327 lakh crores was the loss to theexchequer. This money was illegallytransferred to Kalaingar TV throughcertain firms. MP Kanimozhi and Shardkumar, who are the owners of KalaingarTV are also in Tihar jail after the CBIinvestigation on 2G scam. Thecorruption cases even dates back to thetime of Indira Gandhi. Illegal transfer of
arms by a company called Bofors in Indiacaused serious revolts at various places.The former chief minister ofMaharashtra, Ashok Chavan is alsounder the scam with regards to Adarshhousing society scam. The latest is thelooting of BSNL by the union textilesminister, Dayanidhi Maran, who was thethen telecom minister. He allegedly used323 telephone lines in Chennai whichwas used by Sun TV network for transferof heavy audio and video data thuscausing a loss of about 400 crorerupees to the government. If such levelsof corruption exists in the high levels ofgovernment and bureaucracy, we canwell imagine the situation in lower levels.A common man has to bribe even a clerkin a panchayat office to get his thingsdone. This is an ugly reality and we areto be blamed for it.
Inspite of all this, I still believe thatIndia can be rid of corruption. First ofall, the attitude of the people has tochange. When they bribe an officer orpay money to disobey the traffic rulesthey are watched by their children, whocome to a conclusion that money powercan break any laws. So the parents haveto teach the children about values andethics. So it helps to check corruptionfrom the basic levels.
There are many institutions set upby the constitution to check corruption.One of these is the central vigilancecommission. They conductinvestigations about firms andpoliticians inorder to prevent corruption.Another body is the Vigilance and AntiCorruption Bureau (VACB) We can file
our complaints in VACB and they willprobe into the case. Another way is theGrievance Redressal Machinery bywhich one can gather information abouta particular deal and he finds somethingwrong can file a case. The trust ofpeople on judiciary has been lost aseven judges are corrupt these days. Wecan also consult a Public InformationOfficer to file a case against corruptionissues. A major law which helps us tocurbe corruption is the Right toInformation Act. According to this wecan gather information from any publicoffice in India by filing an applicationfrom and nominal fee. This provides usinformation about the working ofdifferent government depar tments,other than those related to nationalsecurity.
Another much sought about bill isthe Jan Lokpal Bill. This came intoconsideration after the struggle of AnnaHazzare against the corruption. Lokpalcommittee headed by Pranab Mukherjiis under the drafting of this proposedbill. People believe that once the bill ispassed by the parliament corruption canbe stopped to a large extent. Themembers can include former or retiredCBI officers, Vigilence Officers andformer chief justices of both supremecourt and high court. This committe willbroke into the functioning of allgovernment depar tments and willinvestigate cases of corruption againstpoliticians and bureaucrats. This bodywill be free from the control of judiciaryand prime minister. So they can takeindependent decisions. It also empowers

the people to reject an MLA or MP duringthe elections. People or rather citizens ofIndia strongly believe that corruption canbe eliminated upto an extent by theproposed Jan Lokpal bill.
The struggles of civil societyactivistis such as Anna Hazarae andBaba Ramdev will become fruitful in thecoming future. Yes, corruption could bestopped and India can come out of it
with the support of its citizens. If wedecide not to pay bribe, we can also helpin this great campaign againstcorruption. We can hear and learn of acorruption free India in future.

When I saw you first,With your beautiful smile on your face;Since then I love you,Like no one loved you,Like I never loved anyone beforeAnd I wish you to see,My love was enough for you and me.And from the moment I started loving you,From that moment my meaning of life changed.I reshuffled my entire way of livingAnd got a transformation.
4643 Abhishek. K.R.
I did it coz of you,And coz I love you.But that dark day you could take it nomore,And decided to leave me alone;Since that day I writheIts hard to remember how I felt all these years;But what a miracle it is,Still I love you.Time always kills the pain but it’s opposite to me;Years passed away and still days are not easy.I can’t survive anymore as this life is of no use without love.And I’ve lost loved ones in my life.And this I beg not only for me.But for all beautiful people who are in love;And dying for what I pineAnd if you can’t, then call me to you,So that you and I never be apart;And coz I know my fate,Sooner or later we have to be togetherSo why not it be today, right now.Coz I just can’t resist anymore,Coz I love you,And Coz you’re the only reason I believe in love....

Often I wonder why life is avicious circle of ‘ifs’. Is there any stageof life, any walk of life or any act of lifethat is untouched by ‘if’? No. If you study
Well,...If you are disciplined,... IfI get good marks....... If my fatherpermits me,... If I win a lottery,... If itdoesn’t rain,... If you are late,... If I get agood job,... If I earn a better salary,...Thelist of ‘ifs’ is infinite. They are as frequentas the tick of the seconds’ hand of alock; they are as proliferate as the grainsof sand on the beach or the stars in thesky.
The fact I realize out of this is that‘ifs’ make life very conditional; thescope and possibilities narrow down;life becomes very uncertain and losesits charm and challenge because we canalways blame the ‘ifs’ for our failures-we can turn around and say, “See, I amlate because the bus is late; I wouldn’thave been late if the bus had been ontime.” Now if I don’t have the scope toblame it on the bus, I would be morecareful to get ready and get out to thebus stop a little more early and ensurethat I board a bus in time to reach mydestination at least on time, if not in time
A LIFE WITHOUT
(like reaching the office on timeespecially when I have an ill-temperedboss). In the absence of ‘ifs’ there isinfinite scope for spontaneity,innovation and creativity. It is because Imyself own up the responsibilities forall my actions without ever trying to shiftblame either on to people around me ormy circumstances. Don’t you think sucha life would be more rewarding andsatisfying?
Now, what is the charm here?What is the advantage of a life without‘ifs’? It will, first of all, make me a ‘man’.It makes me believe in myself and theinnumerable possibilities that lie bothwithin and around me. Secondly, it willturn around my entire disposition andattitude. When this happens, I begin tolook at people, things and circumstancesnot as part of the problem but as part ofthe solution. They all becomecharioteers and guardian angels thatGod has sent to intervene (not interfere)in my life according to His great plan.Thus I begin to appreciate my bond withmy fellow beings (be it students, familymembers, neighbours or co-workers)and draw strength and inspiration from
it. And now there unfolds in life anunfathomable depth of joy, satisfactionand the bliss of co-existence.
Life is an unconditional gift ofGod. (The story of creation doesn’tmention about any conditions that Godlaid down before creation man!) Whyshould I subject it to numerousconditionalities and rid it of all charms?In a life without ‘ifs’ I can be moreimaginative, innovative, creative,assertive, and productive. Then I shallbe able to draw out the best of myessence and existence. Agree? We canalways agree to disagree. Thank you.

The opinion expressed in the Journal are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the policy and views, official or otherwise of Sainik School, Kazhakootam or Sainik Schools Society, Ministry of Defence, Govt. of India.
The year-long Golden Jubilee Celebrations have come to an end. The elegant inaugural function was made memorable by the gracious presence of Shri A K Antony, the Union Minister for Defence and the breath-taking finale was graced by Sri Oommen Chandy, Chief Minister of Kerala and Sri Pallam Raju. Minister of State for Defence. Between these two major functions there have been a number of programmes sprinkling delight round the Golden Jubilee year.
A tree is known by its fruits- The innumerable Kazhaks occupying enviable positions in the Defence Services as well as in other walks of life will vouch for the unique recipe they have received from this great institution for a happy and successful life. If the first fifty years was an achievement,the next fifty years is going to be a challenge - A daunting challenge to remain on top, a challenge to perpetuate the rich legacy we have inherited from the pioneers of this institution. Let us face this challenge with grit and guts.
I hope that the Golden Jubilee issue of ‘The Kazhak Cadet’ will provide you with moments of delight and the little jottings of our young minds will amuse you beyond expectation. May the light kindled by our pioneers guide our future path.
