Shadowgrapgy

If you want to....By Riddhika Saraswat (Class VIII)

If you want to help, Help the poor.If you want to build, Build your character.If you want to see, See good things.If you want to keep, Keep your promises.If you want to try, Try to do your best.If you want to have, Have a good health.

The hare has always been considered as one of the wisest and fastest animals on this planet. Yet being revengeful of his defeat by the slowest creature, he again put up a challenge before the tortoise for another race. The tortoise knew that the last race he could win because the hare fell asleep on the way. But what about this time? Every time he would not sleep. “No, I cannot be so foolish, that I accept his challenge and be a laughing stock for others”, thinking this the tortoise refused.

It gives me mammoth bliss to put the creativity of our student’s chronicle The Rays (Vol 3) to you. The year 2010-11 fetched us incredible accomplishments, a year of growth marked by school’s strong commitment to the complete realization of children’s multifaceted potential, their flight directed onwards and upwards.

The learning process has never been so complex as it is today as more and more information has to be communicated to the students to help them keep pace with the changing times and enable them to succeed in their never ending quest for excellence. At Brighton, we remain committed to identify the talents of our students focussing on their strengths, nurturing, encouraging and helping them to attain excellence, to equip them to face real life challenges in today’s highly competitive world. I would like to applaud my devoted staff members for their untiring efforts and relentless commitment for encouraging students to excel. Lastly, I feel elated to welcome all the new parents to our fold and join hands to NURTURE A BETTER TOMORROW TOGETHER.....TODAY! Our students have used their creativity and their irrepressible imagination to put together this issue of Rays. We hope you enjoy this edition as much as we have enjoyed putting it together.

The hare took it as another blow to his self respect. He became adamant andcompelled the tortoise to go ahead for the race. The tortoise knew it very well, that he wassure to face defeat this time. He thought of a plan. On the day of the race they started off, the hare this time did not even think of taking rest. He was far ahead on the track. The tortoise was not even visible.

On the other hand the tortoise while walking slowly found a kangaroo approaching him. He told him the difficult situation he was in and requested him to help. The Kangaroo was kind and helpful and he asked him to enter his pouch. The tortoise hurriedlydid as he was told and they reached the finish line long before the hare could reach there. The tortoise expressed his gratitude to the kangaroo and the latter left.

The hare was very happy as he did not sleep and also did not see tortoisecrossing him. But to his surprise he found the tortoise there at the finish line, he lost all his hopes of winning. The tortoise smiled mysteriously and said to win a game you need to have little strength and more presence of mind and went trotting towards his pond leaving the harestartled behind.

Under the able guidance of the English Department Brighton’s first English Debate Competition was held on 23 July 2011. The co nte st w i t n e s s e d a f i e r y participation from all the speakers representing all the four houses. The topic of the debate was,

Old Age Home Visit @ Brighton

On 16 July 2011, Brightonites paid a visit to the Old Age Home - ‘Vriddha-Ashram’ situated in Shyam Nagar. The entire idea was to pay respect to the elderly and thank them of their contribution to the society. All the students pitched in with whatever little contribution they can make in terms of items of daily needs. Students also performed a group song in their glowing tribute to the elderly. Accompanying students were our teachers, and following is a small account of the visit from our English Faculty Mrs. Vijetri Bhati;

2. A man stays on the fortieth floor of an apartment. Whenever he has to go down, he uses the lift, but whenever he has to reach his flat, he gets down on the twentieth floor and walks through the rest of the floors. When somebody else accompanies him he goes directly to the fortieth floor. What is wrong with this man?

3. A man’s body was found in a no-man’s land. Beside his body they found an unopened packet, which was the cause of man’s death. How did the man die?

Answers: 1. Friday was the name of the man’s house 2.The man was a dwarf. 3. The man was a parachuter. The unopened packet was a parachute.

The green earth is a gift to us,and caring for it is a must.

I can’t dream of a clean environment,for that is our main requirement.

There is smoke, pollution and dirt,seeing this also, no one is hurt.

People are cutting trees anddisturbing the ecology.

That also without realizationor any kind of apology.

Cars, buses and scootersthey are the main smoke shooters.

The factories and chimneys are even pouring and giving out smoke as if there is fine flare.Isn’t there any solution for all these kind of pollution anywhere

G.K. QuizBy Pallavi Singh (Class VI)

HandwritingBy Riddhika Saraswat (Class VIII)

The other day when I won the first prize in handwriting competition, everyone appreciated me and I felt as I am on cloud nine. You believe it or not, it was just months back I was considered as a big cacographer, be at school or at home. My days began and ended only with scoldings. I was in a fix, why handwriting was given so much importance in the school. I did my work regularly, wasn’t that enough?

The Silver KeyBy Prinyanka Poptani (Class VIII)

It was a stormy night, a traveler reached an inn. It was very late, he found the door locked from within. He knocked at the door. The gatekeeper responded to the knock saying,“ I have lost the key and the door cannot be opened unless you have a silver key with you”.

My teacher is like a Sun, who fills my life with brightness of knowledge.My teacher is like a moon, who guides me in the darkness.My teacher is like a friend, who remains with me all along.My teacher is like a soul, who guides meto where I belong.My teacher is my God, a soul whom I shallalways adore.

Born in the royal family of Chettinad in Tamil Nadu, he did his schooling from Madras Christian College School, Chennai. After graduating with a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree in Statistics from The Presidency College, Chennai, he completed his Bachelor of Laws (LL.B.) from the Madras Law College and his M.B.A. from Harvard Business School.Chidambaram was first elected to the Lok Sabha from the Sivaganga constituency of Tamil Nadu in 1984.He was re-elected from the same constituency in the year 1989, 1991, 1996, 1998, 2004 and 2009. He first became a minister in the year 1985 and has held several portfolios since then. He also practices in the Supreme Court and in various High Courts in India. He has also appeared in a number of arbitration proceedings, in India and abroad.

But sometimes change is inevitable and it was true in my case. One day duringmy library class, I got something to read about Gandhji, related to his handwriting.My joy knew no bound when I read - ‘Handwriting wasn’t even always important to Gandhiji. As a young boy he was happily unaware of his inability to write neatly.It was not until 1893, while working as a young barrister in South Africa, he realized how illegible his handwriting was and for how long he had been deceiving himselfas to the extent of his progress and character development.

Gandhiji was ashamed and repented for his negligence. I remembered readinghis words, “I saw that bad handwriting should be regarded as a sign of imperfect education. I would never be able to repair the neglect my youth. Let every young man and woman be warned by my example and understand that good handwritingis a necessary part of education”.

The impact of this valuable piece was so strong that I decided to act as betterlate than never. After all it was an inspiration from the father of our nation, and you will also agree with me that great people always lead us to something excepti-onally good.

The traveler understood what he meant by the silver key. He immediately slipped a silver coin through the hole, and the door opened. As soon as he got in, he said to the gate keeper,”I haveleft my box outside, can you please bring it?”. Agreeing to fetch thebox, the gate keeper went out. As soon as he stepped out of the door, the traveler closed the door from behind. The keeper asked him to open the door so that he maycome in. Now the traveler replied from the inside of the inn,”I havelost the silver key and that silver key is needed to open the door”.Soon the coin was pushed again through the hole and the dishonest gatekeeper was let in.

Moral of the story: Dishonesty meets dishonesty. As you sow, so shall you reap.

The Dinosaur FactsBy Rana Singh (Class VIII)

A person who studies about dinosaurs is known as Planetologist.

Fossils have been found on every continent, even in Antartica

To help fight meat eaters such as Allasaurs or Sphinosaurus, many plant eaters have natural weapons at their disposal. Example includes the spikes on the tails of the Stegosaurus and the three horns attached to the front of the Triceratop’s head shield.

Scientists studying dinosaur bones believe that birds have probably descended from the small dinosaurs.

Scientists aren’t sure what colour dinosaurs were. Some think dinosaurs might have been as colourful as many birds are today

The most complete skeleton of a stegosaurusever found has been dug up at the foot of theRocky Mountains in Colarado . It has to hauledout of the earth by an army helicopter.

The Painful SubjectBy Suman Agrawal (Class VII)

History is a big mystery,It’s more boring than ChemistryEnglish is a subject,where grammar is an object.Physics is full of logic,But it can kindle earth’s magic.Mathematics would take all my day,And I have to practice it in my own way.

L - lead, to lead always.E - example we have to set.A - aim that we should have.D - determined for the best.E - Excelling in the end.R - responsibility.S - sense of our duty.H - hardship we have to crossI - influence with workP - prayer we all must say Never stray, serve all, each and everyday. This will make you a greatleader.

TimeBy Vandita Sarawat (Class VIII)

Time is like the sea waves,so it must be saved,

It is never gained again,It gives happiness, it gives pain,

Time never runs after a man,Catch the time if you can,

We must respect time,As a stitch in time saves nine,

If time is going best,you can take a rest,

Do your work according to time,As it will be a lucky sign,

Save time is our advice,remember it for it is too nice,for a student it is God.

A Rainy DayBy Deepika Kumari (Class III)

Tiny drops of water falling on my window pane,Make a musical sound again and again.

The droplets on the window pane appear like tiny beads,Across the window pane, two girls walk holding colourful umbrellas with the shade of blue, yellow and white.

All this tells me again, that it is a rainy day, It’s time to have a splash and have lots of fun all through the day.
