Jagranites Achieve Greatness by Using Academics, Responsibility &Self-control.
VOL : 5 ISSUE III OCTOBER, 20I3 – MARCH, 20I4
It’s been barely a month since he took over as only the third CEO of tech giant Microsoft since it was set up 39
years ago, but Satya Nadella already has Microsoft’s five-year plan chalked out: use software as a driving force
to advance the company’s devices and services(Excerpts from Times of India 10 March 2014). It is really a great
moment of pride for all the Indians that Satya has been chosen to head this world famous company Microsoft.
Think of it, how did it happen? It took many years of consistent hard work, passionate zeal and never-say-die
attitude to reach this pinnacle of glory.
Since the times immemorial our saints and sages have said in their simple manner that,” he only gets who
seeks”. Let us talk about knowledge. What is the source of knowledge? Is it available in the books? Do the
schools provide knowledge? Can you get it from the Internet?
Yes, all these sources do provide you a lot of information. Out of this maze of information, you have to select
what exactly you want? Pick up the information related to the subject which interests you. Talk about it with
your parents, teachers and friends. Try to know more about it. See if you can apply this newly found information
in a new field. Absorb this information till you are fully satisfied that you know all that is required related to this.
Your passion towards learning will help you achieve this knowledge. Remember learning is a life long process.
One has to cultivate a Learning Attitude. Once you develop that attitude, you are bound to become curious
about a variety of things. You will never be confined to the above quoted sources of information. According to a
popular UNESCO Report, one of the four pillars of Education is “Learning to Know”.
Nadella hails Indian talent, saying “…India is a tremendous source of technology talent, both at home and
around the world.” What’s that message you would want to give to young professionals? “Find something you
are truly passionate about, and throw yourself into it fully. Life is too short to just go through the motions on
something you are not truly passionate about. Stay curious, never stop learning.”

ACTIVITIES
Jagranites Achieve Greatness by Using Academics, Responsibility &Self-control.
WAYS TO REDUCE GLOBAL WARMING 1. Green your commute
Transportation causes about 25 per cent of
Canada's greenhouse gas emissions, so walk,
cycle or take transit whenever you can. You'll
save money and get into better shape! If you
can't go car-free, try carpooling or car sharing,
and use the smallest, most fuel-efficient
vehicle possible.
2. Be energy efficient
You already switch off lights — what's next?
Change light bulbs to compact fluorescents or
LEDs. Unplug computers, TVs and other
electronics when not in use.
4. Eat wisely
Buy organic and locally grown foods. Avoid
processed items. And eat low on the food
chain — at least one meat-free meal a day —
since 18 per cent of greenhouse gas emissions
come from meat and dairy production.
5. Trim your waste
Garbage buried in landfills produces methane,
a potent greenhouse gas. Keep stuff out of
landfills by composting kitchen scraps and
garden trimmings, and recycling paper, plastic,
metal and glass. Let store managers and
manufacturers know you want products with
minimal or recyclable packaging.
6. Let polluters pay
Carbon taxes make polluting activities more
expensive and green solutions more
affordable, allowing energy-efficient
businesses and households to save money.
7. Fly less
Air travel leaves behind a huge carbon
footprint. Before you book your next airline
ticket, consider greener options such as buses
or trains, or try vacationing closer to home.
9. Get involved
Take a few minutes to contact your political
representatives and the media to tell them you
want immediate action on climate change.
Remind them that reducing greenhouse gas
emissions will also build healthier
communities, spur economic innovation and
create new jobs. And next time you're at the
polls, vote for politicians who support effective
climate policies. SHABNAM KHATUN CLASS-XI-A
EXTREME WEATHER CONDITIONS
We all know that weather is getting chillier by
the hour. Even the lakes and ponds are
freezing. Let us know the reason for the same.
The reason for the chill is polar vortex.
The polar vortex, as the name suggests, is circulation of strong, upper-level winds that normally surround the northern pole in a counter-clockwise direction. This creates a polar low-pressure system. These upper level winds are responsible to keep the bitter cold air locked in the Arctic regions of the Northern Hemisphere. But at times, this vortex tends to become distorted and dips much farther south than it is normally found. This allows the cold air to spill southward and bring us the icy cold weather in a no more isolated system.
CREATIVE WRITING
Jagranites Achieve Greatness by Using Academics, Responsibility &Self-control.
The upper-level winds that make up the polar vortex change in intensity from time to time. When those winds decrease significantly, it can allow the vortex to become distorted, and the result is a jet stream that plunges deep into southern latitudes, bringing the cold, dense Arctic air spilling down with it. This oscillation is known as the Arctic Oscillation and it can switch from a positive phase to negative phase a few times per year. This oscillation -- namely the negative phase where the polar winds are weaker -- tends to lead to major cold air outbreaks in one or more regions of the planet. The polar vortex can lead to major cold air outbreaks in any portion of the Northern Hemisphere -- North America, Europe and Asia. This will lead to cold snaps in multiple locations, though not necessarily always. ANJALI CHAUHAN

A VISIT TO AN ORPHANAGE
On 22nd January, 2014, four students namely
Arpan Panda, Deepanshi Chauhan, Rajit Ahuja
and myself accompanied by the Principal, Mr.
Pramod Kumar made a visit to the ‘Udyan
Care’, Greater Noida. We collected clothes,
food grains like dal, rice etc. donated by the
students. The students donated generously.
On reaching the orphanage, we met a lady
who solely looked after 45 girls. I was deeply
touched to see her love and support as a
mother, sister and friend. The girls addressed
her as ‘Didi’.
The orphanage is a four storied building- on
the ground floor, we saw a library, a computer
lab. and a research room. The first floor has a
mess where they have their meals. We also
met a girl named Shalu, who had scored 95%
in the boards and is now doing Pharmacy from
Galgotia’s. Despite of all the problems, most of
the girls are studying in reputed schools. These
girls face all the difficulties with a smile. The
visit was a truly inspiring and motivating
experience for us.
