A TRI MONTHLY NEWS LETTER
( January, 2015 – March, 2015)
FROM THE DESK OF VICE PRINCIPAL
Where the will is strong and the goal is determined
Where the teacher and the taught are without fear
And the teaching-learning is spontaneous.
Where the learning environment has not been
fragmented by fanatics of class, caste, religion,
Regions, politics and egoism.
Where sincere tireless striving stretches its arms
towards perfection.
Where the clear stream of reason and the path
towards the goal has not lost its way into the
murky swamp of inaction, indifference and fear.
Where each teacher is led forward by thee into
The ever-widening field of knowledge and challenges.
Into that heaven of free learning environment,
My father, let my fellowmen awake.
Mrs. Susan George
(Vice-Principal)

TEACHER’S CORNER
Life in a Metro
Good or Bad?
Modern amenities, huge infrastructure, spanking new
outlook, civilized gentry, latest lifestyle, long queue
of shopping complexes, sparkling lights in disco and
seven star hotels is all what describes a metro city.
Metro cities are full of services like education,
transportation, big IT companies and more job
opportunities which attract people to come and live;
leaving aside the small towns and cities. Here a girl is
seen in shorts and boy with a new and trendy
hairstyle. Their culture and standard of living is
altogether different. Nobody is concerned about other
one and nobody even think of LKK (Log
Kyakahenge). One lives the life the way he wants.
This is a very general scenario a common man may
know but to know the reality go and ask with a
person residing over there. High rental rates, petrol
hikes, expensive commodities, parking problem and
pollution are some of the major problems in metro
city. For a short span of time it feels great to have fun
in a metro city where it actually gets alive after 11
pm. The crowd rushes over road in cars at night, have
fun in disco‟s, love birds are seen at every corner,
pan houses are crowded with youth with a cigarette
in their hand.
But what about the long term life in a metro? Life is
so fast over there. Nobody is interested to know what
other feels and want because one is so much involved
in himself that he doesn‟t even know who lives the
next door. Although you get high salary hikes, faster
promotion but you can‟t get your precious time again
which is wasted daily during traveling to and from
home to office due to traffic jam which ultimately
reduces the time to be spent with family and kids
resulting in no social life. One can‟t even take fresh
air early in the morning because metro city is alive
all 24 hours resulting in pollution which ceases a man
to have connection with nature and with oneself.
So a metro city is busy all day, sparkling all night,
new trend setter, lavish lifestyle, suits some people
but for other‟s its worthwhile. A life in a metro is
good or bad is all what you‟ve to decide…
NishaPariyani
(Faculty of Maths)
Life in a Metro…
Life of a human is not just about being alive but also
being social, peaceful and contented. People tend to
get more by some means, fair or unfair. All kinds of
people, from poor beggars to villagers to common
people to businessman, all try to get more than their
capacity or means. While the beggars tend to steal,
villagers move to cities and towns to get better job
opportunities, common man cheats either by his own
will or the will others, and mostly with political
backing, businessman never pay their income taxes
properly. In a metropolitan city, you have to face all
kinds of people ── street beggars on footpaths beside
big skyscrapers, people who are obsessed to show
others how intelligent they are, hawkers who go on
insisting you to buy their goods, etc. A metropolitan
city is busy and there life is also very busy. You have
to get up earlier, sleep later, study harder, etc. i.e. you
have to follow a hard life, not an easy life like those in
villages. You get more job opportunities, but you have
to work longer and the job eats up your time. And in a
city if even a girl wants to be traditional, it is a shame.
You need to have a mobile, a MP3 player, a tablet and
other such things at a very early age, otherwise it is a
shame. If the villagers think that a city is a better place
to live, they should think again. Cities have their own
kind of problems. Traffic jams, machine malfunction,
power cuts, lack of proper disposal, weak flyovers,
etc. are bigger problems than those faced by the
villagers. Such problems are very frequent, and some
of them are dangerous enough to take lives.
These problems do not mean that the people who stay
in village never face any problems.
Human beings; wherever they live; in village or in
metro cities, if they are not content with whatever they
have, if they do not know how to show mercy and
kindness to other swill definitely face problems.

Good habit is a gift of our parents to us. It develops
good character. A favorite saying often quoted by
DAVID O. MCKAY was „‟ we sow our thoughts,
and we reap our actions; we sow our actions, and we
reap our habits; we sow our habits, and we reap our
characters; we sow our characters and we reap our
destiny.‟‟ Habits are subject to change and
improvement such as to eat healthy food and always

It is well said by someone that „‟ Never reject
anybody in your life because good person gives
happiness and badperson gives us experience both
are essential.‟‟ There is one perfect key to excel good
habits that will work for everyone. But there are
some common things to improve learning habits such

more time. In fact most of these suggestions will be
aimed at reducing our total time usage by learning
good habits in a smart way not just in a hard way. So

IF I WERE A TEACHER FOR A
DAY…. Arpita Tripathy of 8
th A says……………….
Being a teacher is a very difficult task. I couldn‟t
imagine myself as a teacher. But if I would get a
chance to be a teacher I would try my level best to
help students to achieve their goals. I would provide
education to the poor children who don‟t have enough
money for their studies as they also have right for
education. I would encourage the students to study as
the future of our country depends on them. I would
never be partial to any of my student.
All students will be equal for me no rich, no poor, no
bright and no dull. Besides this, I would provide
them all opportunities to prove themselves. And at
last I would teach them that no one is the best. Each
one of us have some or the other problems, But to
improve them will make you a better person.
VedikaSathwara of 6th
A says…………….
Teacher is an individual whom we find teaching in
schools and colleges and she/he is a person who has
infinitely lasting influence on the wards. I really
believe in saying that teachers make the destinies of
the children they teach and they do not know where,
if at all, the influence of teacher stops.
The care I would take of their studies,their character
and conduct would all together be a package of sorts.
My love for them would be abounding yet, at the
same time, I would not have any compromise with
their work and any other activity of their.
This I would like to do as I would like to see them
grow into good personalities, with the qualities of
head and heart. I will try to be a friend and a guide
for them.
Shivangi Yadavof 8th
B says ……………. When I was young, I used to play the role of
teacher not just a teacher but an ideal teacher of
course. Even now, I sometimes imagine that
what I would do if I were a teacher. Immersing
me in that world bring a smile on my face, that
joy of teaching makes me very happy. If I were a
teacher, the most important duty of mine will be
to understand the importance of my profession. I
would not only provide knowledge but also
provide them mind power games and physical
games. I would maintain the discipline of my
class but not with threats orpunishment. In short I
want to tell I will become not only teacher but a
mutual friend, a guide and a philosopher.
RenuYadav of 7th
A says ……………….
If I were a teacher for a day then I would like to
teach Science because science is my favorite
subject. Science is the combination of Physics,
Chemistry and Biology. All three parts are
interesting. I would like to teach science in a
simple manner because science is related to
nature. Science is my favorite subject because I
like the way my teacher teaches me. I like to
teach my students, how to make different types of
models and how to use them. I will make them
learn, how to understand the equations in a simple
manner. At last, I wish my dream come true to be
a Science teacher.
The World of English
Simran Thakur of IX.A says…..
No language has spread as widely as English, and it
continues to spread. Internationally the desire to learn
it is insatiable. In the twenty-first century the world is
becoming more urban and more middle class, and the
adoption of English is a symptom of this, for
increasingly English serves as the lingua franca of
business and popular culture. It is dominant or at least
very prominent in other areas such as shipping,
diplomacy, computing, medicine and education.
English “is symbolic of modernity, work, higher
education, commerce, economics and science and
technology.” In Arabic-speaking countries, science
subjects are often taught in English because excellent
textbooks and other educational resources are readily
available in English.
Saurabh Gunti of IX.B says….
English has spread because of British colonialism. Its
rise has been assisted by the massive exportation of
English as a second language, as well as by the growth
of an English-language mass media. English is
without a doubt the actual universal language. English
can be at least understood almost everywhere among
scholars and educated people, as it is the world media
language, and the language of cinema, TV, pop music
and the computer world. All over the planet people
know many English words, their pronunciation and
meaning.
Dipesh Rajoria of class IX.A says…..
English first began to spread during the 16th century
with British Empire and was strongly reinforced in
20th by USA world domination in economic, political
and military aspects and by the huge influence of
American movies. The concept of a Universal
Language is more significant only now, in the era of
world mass communication. Before this era Greek,
