                                                 - Rani Iyer  Mumbai, 12 February : The Ajanta Caves, Mumbai, situated in the Deccan in Maharashtra and about 110 km from Aurangabad, are a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A visit to the place reveals a large slice of history. These rock-cut cave temples and monasteries of Buddhists date back to around 2nd century BCE. Since they were in the jungles, cut into a mountainside, the external world did not know about them for a long time. They were discovered only in the 19th century. The caves include paintings and rock-cut sculptures described as among the finest surviving examples of ancient Indian art. The paintings are expressive and present emotion through gesture, pose and form. According to UNESCO, these are masterpieces of Buddhist religious art that influenced the Indian art that followed. Two visitor centers p...

 The movie "The Theory of Everything is based on the life of Stephen Hawking. He was diagnosed with ALS at the age of 21, but because of the love of fellow Cambridge student, Jane Wilde, whom he married, he went on to secure achievement after achievement and began to be called the successor to Einstein. He and Jane defy terrible odds and break new ground in the fields of medicine and science, achieving more than either could hope to imagine. Hawking's physical decline weakens his frail body. His mind, on the oner hand, remains sharp, always in pursuit of that single equation that would explain the elusive Theory of Everything. Right up to his mid-seventies, Stephen Hawking has no plans to retire. The dialogue smoothly carries the narrative forward, at times indulging in monosyllabic repartee, which at times, provides crisp tongue-in-cheek humour. It is a very enjoyable film. It is tasteful and engaging and beautiful visually. The music, which is quite haunting, was nominated f...

 This proverb Every cloud has a silver lining' means that you should never feel hopeless because difficult times always lead to better days. Difficult times are like dark clouds that pass overhead and block the sun. But at the same time, on the outer edge of the clouds you will invariably observe a silver lining that provides some measure of light and hope. The problems and difficulties that we face in life are like those dark clouds. Stephen Hawking started experiencing problems with his health while he was barely 21, a student at Oxford. On occasion he would trip and fall, or slur his speech. Later on, he was diagnosed with ALS, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. It was a disease in which the nerves that controlled his muscles were shutting down. He was given two and a half years to live. But as we know he went on to live more than a half century beyond. Thanks to an early diagnosis, advanced medical treatment and complete support from family, friends and students, he lived a full li...

 Music is good therapy. It is particularly effective because it registers on multiple sites of the brain. This means that even if the brain is very badly affected by a stroke or illness, there are still parts of the brain that recognise music. I remember how upset all of us were when grandfather suffered a stroke. The left side of his body and almost all of his face were affected. The once great and active grandpa now lay still on the bed and had to be fed through a tube going down his nostrils. Little Rani could not stop weeping. Grandfather had once presented me with mobile phone. He knew my love for music and had told me I could download my favourite songs and create a playlist and hear them whenever I wanted to. I would sit by grandfather's bed whenever I was at home and had finished my studies and play the songs and listen to them. One evening, to my surprise, I saw a shadow of a smile beginning to appear on grandpa's face. At first I couldn't believe it. Then it becam...

 Friends, The topic before us today is "The Will to Win'. This title brings to my mind the story of the hare and the tortoise. When the hare challenged the tortoise to a race, the tortoise knew very well that its speed of travel was in no way comparable to that of the hare. Yet this little animal agreed to the race. And why, may I ask you? Only because it had the will to win. Come what may, the tortoise had to prove to the hare that it could win if it wanted to. And finally it won! This, in fact, is the driving force behind all great ventures and achievements. The Will to Win! I remember the time when I went to Std. V. My father had been transferred from Agra to Bhusaval. A subject that I had trouble mastering was the language Marathi. Needless to say in the first term I flunked very badly. But I was a student who usually scored high marks in all subjects. This failure was devastating. However, I did not let it faze me. I took great interest in class lessons. Read my Marathi t...

 Nagpur, June 7: World Environment Day' was celebrated in New Era School with great fanfare on June 5. The main purpose of the celebration was to spread awareness about the need to protect the environment and the ways to do it. The day was flagged off by a tree plantation drive in the locality. 300 quick-growing trees, which do not need much water on a daily basis, were planted near the school wall and in the surrounding area. An eminent environmentalist, Mr. A.T. Ali, spoke on the ways to protect the environment. He also judged the "Posters and Photographs' exhibition and gave away prizes for the best entries. Environmentally-friendly articles, like disposable plates and cups made from bamboo and banana stem, bags made from leaf waste, etc. were on sale. Students gave continuous power- point presentations on the threats to the environment. Last but not the least, was the spirited debate on the topic 'Man : The worst enemy of the Environment'. All in all, the day w...

 It was the 26th of July in Mumbai. It was raining cats and dogs. 10-year-old Sanyogita More stood at the door of her hut. The street was flooded with water. Sanyogita was frightened. Her parents had not returned from work and she was all alone. Suddenly, she saw two little boys, Rohan and Sohan, come out from the neighbouring hut to play in the water. As Sanyogita watched, there came a sudden gush of water and the boys were dragged towards an open manhole, which had been marked with a huge stick. They caught hold of the stick, but the stick began to tilt. It would soon fall-and the boys would go down the manhole! Sanyogita ran as fast as she could towards the boys. Pulling a rope from a nearby door, she looped it around a large stone. She held onto the rope and extended her hand towards the boys. "Catch my hand, Sohan, Rohan," she shouted. "Catch! Catch soon!" The boys were in a panic but they did as they were told. Sohan held Rohan's leg, Rohan held Sanyogita...

Respected Principal, teachers and my dear friends, Today, 15th August, is the day India won her freedom. No doubt, at that time the citizens of free India had many dreams for their country, some of which would have certainly come true. I, Rohan Mehta, often think about my 'dream' India too, and I would like to tell you something about it. In the India of my dreams, there would be no poverty. Every Indian would be able to live a comfortable life. Every single person would be literate and the acquisition of knowledge would be open to all, irrespective of caste, creed or religion. Corruption eats away a country, and in my dream India there would be no corrupt people. Truth and sincerity would reign. The growth of the population would be controlled and there would be no shortage of natural resources. Every man, woman and child would be able to hold up his or her head with dignity and self-respect. There would be no dependence on other countries for the fulfilment of our basic needs...

 Respected Chief Guest, Principal, Teachers, Parents, and my dear friends, Today, it is a great honour for me to talk about our Independence. We are celebrating 70 years of independence. It is with a sense of pride that I can say our great leaders fought hard to achieve independence for India. Two hundred years of British rule, their oppression and injustice came to an end on the midnight of 14th August, 1947. In the words of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, India's first Prime Minister, I quote, "When the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom". Indeed, those fateful words were so true. India achieved freedom, freedom from oppression and freedom from British rule. In these 70 years, we have seen progress of our great country in all spheres of life from agriculture to industry, from planet Earth to outer space. Yes, indeed, India has truly taken giant strides. We are now competing with other countries in all technological innovations and inventions. It rightly has bee...

 It was the last day of the examination and so my friends and I decided to paint the town red. Our first plan was to watch a movie and then have a big bite at one of our favourite food joints. Having done so, we decided to take a walk down the beach. As we were strolling along the silvern sandy shore, we tried looking for sea-shells, little crabs and other sea elements that lash the shore with the breaking of the waves, but much to our dismay, we could hardly find any. Instead there were chocolate wrappers, food packets, paper trays, leftover food stuff and bottles and cans of drink strew all about, It was a very unpleasant sight for us. However we walked a few yards ahead and decided to return.On our way back, we took the short cut which once was an unpaved road through the mangroves, but lo and behold, what did we encounter - for a moment, all of us thought that we were in the wrong area beauty was now a concrete jungle of housing colonies and tiny shanties wherever possible. One...

 Suresh was a second-year student in Environmental Studies at a university of repute. He pleaded guilty to academic misconduct, namely plagiarism, and he may face severe disciplinary action. This was his first offence. It consisted of writing an entire project without acknowledging the sources and even without incorporating his own thoughts. He did not start the project until one week before the due date, which was not enough time and so he ended up with internet materials from three different sources, pasting and putting them together as his own. He went to the professor to show his initial draft and was told what he needed to do. He did not take the professor's advice as it seemed like he could get away with his plan. Sometime later the professor handed him a written paper telling him that he plagiarized his paper and got a zero grade. The professor said the Headmaster had been informed and he would call him about an investigation that may result in a suspension or expulsion from...

 Words we speak show how we feel about each other, and unkind words hurt both the person who hears them and the person who says them. On the other hand, kind words encourage others and build up the people who them. If you become a good communicator, you'll win more friends. YoUll impress your teachers and parents, and you will have an even better chance of getting a job in an interview. It makes sense to learn and communicate clearly and effectively. say you throw a stick into the ocean, the stick comes back to you. Words are like that. What you throw out eventually comes back to you. It's true that sometimes people won't answer your kind word with kindness. But over the long run, if you communicate kindness, you'll attract kind words in return. If We communicate in many ways, any movements you make with your body, any sounds that come out of your mouth, the expression you wear, and sometimes the things you think or feel, can send a message to someone. Different ways to...

  It was the second last day of our Safari tour in Kenya and our excitement was reaching its peak when we met Patrick Denguda, popularly known as 'Water Man' at the Tsavo West Safari Park. We came to know that the animals there had turned weak and frail for want ofwater. Just then we met Denguda who fills the bone-dry watering holes in the region, driving for hours on end every day to haul water to where it is most desperately needed. Many animals didn't even wait that long, fearlessly crowding the truck as Denguda approached the tap. Nearly 500 buffaloes started drinking water while we were standing there. Then Denguda narrated how the drought had affected the entire area including the Safari park, leaving animals to die of thirst. He told us how, initially he rented trucks and drove to several locations but due to financial constraints he limited his service to the Safari Park itself. As we proceeded further, we contacted our folks in Mumbai who agreed to assist us in sav...

 An eight-year-old child heard her parents talking about her little brother. All she knew was that he was very sick and they had no money left. They were moving to a smaller house because they could not afford to stay in the present house after paying the doctor's bills. Only a very costly surgery could save him now and there was no one to loan them the money. When she heard her daddy say to her tearful mother with whispered desperation, 'Only a miracle can save him now', the little girl went to her bedroom and pulled her piggy bank from Its hiding place in the closet. She poured all the change out on the floor and counted it carefully. Clutching the precious piggy bank tightly, she slipped out the back door and made her way Six blocks to the local drugstore. She took a quarter from her bank and placed it on the glass counter. "And what do you want?" asked the pharmacist. "It's for my little brother," the girl answered back. "He's really ver...

  One cold and lonely night, when neither a whisper nor a sound could be heard coming from the streets, I woke up by the sound of footsteps on the staircase. The first thought that hit me was 'burglars' but then the sound ceased and so I tried to get back to sleep. After a while, the sound resumed and this time with firmness and quickness. I dared to get out of the bedroom and followed in the darkness in the direction of the sound of the footsteps. As I entered the kitchen, I was horrified to see to burglars trying to escape with a bag filled with some valuables through the stairs that led out into the passageway and then outside. On catching sight of me, they tried to attack me, but as I lookėd anxious and petrified, they just threatened me with dire consequences if I were to call the police. As one of them turned and opened the door, they were greeted and then escorted to the police station by two policemen who heard their noise while they were patrolling the place: Thu...
