VIDYA VIHAR VISTA 2021-2022

മക്കളാണ് മാതാപിതാക്കളുടെ ഏറ്റവും വലിയ സമ്പാദ്യം. ഒരുപാട് സ്വപ്നങ്ങളാണ് ഒരു കുഞ്ഞ് പിറക്കുന്നതിനേക്കാള്‍ മുമ്പേ

മാതാപിതാക്കളുടെ മനസ്സിൽ കൂട് കൂട്ടുന്നതെങ്കിലും പ്രായോഗികമായ

ജീവിതത്തിലും മോഹങ്ങളൊക്കെയും പൂവണിഞ്ഞ് കാണാനുള്ള

ആഗ്രഹമില്ലാത്തവരാരും തന്നെ ഈ പ്രപഞ്ചത്തിലുണ്ടാവില്ലെന്നതാണ് സത്യം. എല്ലാ കുട്ടികളും റാങ്ക് ജേതാക്കളാവില്ലെന്ന കൃത്യമായ തിരിച്ചറിവുണ്ടെങ്കിലും

ഓരോ കുട്ടികളുടേയും കഴിവിനെ മനസ്സിലാക്കാനും പുസ്തകങ്ങള്‍

മന:പാഠമാക്കാന്‍ വേണ്ടി പരിശീലിപ്പിക്കുന്നതിനോടൊപ്പം തന്നെ അവര്‍ക്ക്

ജന്മനാൽ ലഭിച്ചിട്ടുള്ള രുചി ഏത് മേഘലയിലാണെന്ന് മനസ്സിലാക്കാനും അതിനെ പ്രോത്സാഹിപ്പിക്കാനും അധ്യാപകരെപ്പോലെ തന്നെ

മാതാപിതാക്കളും ഉത്തരവാദികളാണ്. കുട്ടികള്‍ വളരും തോറും മാതാപിതാക്കളുടെ മനസ്സിലും വളര്‍ച്ചയുണ്ടെങ്കിലേ

അവരെ നേര്‍വഴിയിലൂടെ സമൂഹത്തിന്റെ വഴികാട്ടികളായി വളര്‍ത്തിക്കൊണ്ട്

വരാന്‍ നമുക്ക് കഴിയുകയുള്ളൂ. ആദ്യമായി സ്കൂളിലേക്ക്

പറഞ്ഞയക്കുമ്പോള്‍ എന്റെ കുഞ്ഞ് കരയുമോ എന്ന ചിന്തയാണ്

മനസ്സിലെങ്കിൽ അതു തന്നെയാണ് അവരുടെ സ്കൂള്‍ ജീവിതം കഴിഞ്ഞ്

പുറത്തിറങ്ങുന്നത് വരേയും ഓരോ അച്ഛനമ്മമാരും ആഗ്രഹിക്കുന്നത്. എത്ര

വലുതായാലും അവരെ കുട്ടികളായി കാണാനേ മാതാപിതാക്കള്‍ക്ക് കഴിയൂ. കുട്ടികൾക്ക് ചെറിയ പ്രായം മുതൽ ശരിയും തെറ്റും മനസ്സിലാക്കി

കൊടുക്കുക എന്നത് തന്നെയാണ് മാതാപിതാക്കളുടെ ഏറ്റവും വലിയ

ഉത്തരവാദിത്വം. തിരക്ക് പിടിച്ചതാണ് നമ്മുടെ ജീവിതമെന്ന വാക്കുകളിൽ

നിന്നും ഒഴിഞ്ഞ് മാറി സ്വന്തം മക്കളെ നല്ല രീതിയിൽ വളര്‍ത്താനും

കുറച്ചെങ്കിലും സമയം കണ്ടെത്തിയില്ലെങ്കിൽ കുട്ടികളും മാതാപിതാക്കളും

തമ്മിലുള്ള ബന്ധത്തിന് വിള്ളലുകള്‍ വീണ് തുടങ്ങും. വീട്ടിൽ മുതിര്‍ന്നവരോട്

എന്തും തുറന്ന് പറയാനുള്ള ധൈര്യം കൊടുക്കുകയെന്നതാണ് ബാല്യത്തിലേ

മക്കളെ പഠിപ്പിക്കേണ്ടത്. ഓരോ തവണയും മാതാപിതാക്കളുടെ പ്രതികരണം

മനസ്സിലാക്കി പൂര്‍ണ്ണ പിന്തുണ ലഭിക്കുമെന്ന് ഉറപ്പ് ലഭിച്ചാലേ

തെറ്റാണെങ്കിലും ശരിയാണെങ്കിലും അവരുടെ മനസ്സിന്റെ ഭാരം നമ്മുടെ

മുന്നിലും അതിലുപരി അധ്യാപകരുടെ മനസ്സിലേക്കും ഇറക്കി വെക്കാന്‍

കഴിയൂ. അരുതെന്ന് പറയുന്നത് കുട്ടികള്‍ക്ക് ഇഷ്ടപ്പെടാത്ത പ്രായത്തിലാണ്

മാതാപിതാക്കള്‍ക്ക് ഏറ്റവും കൂടുതല്‍ സമാധാനം നഷ്ടപ്പെടുന്നത്.

തിന്മകളിലേക്ക് തിരിഞ്ഞ് പോകുമ്പോള്‍ എന്തുകൊണ്ടാണ് തടസ്സം

നില്‍ക്കുന്നതെന്ന് കുട്ടികള്‍ക്ക് മനസ്സിലാക്കാനുള്ള പ്രായമായെന്ന

തോന്നലുകളാണ് പലപ്പോഴും മാതാപിതാക്കളുടെ സംസാര രീതിയില്‍

വിദ്വേഷത്തിന്റെ അംശം അലിഞ്ഞ് ചേര്‍ന്നിരുക്കുന്നുവെന്ന് കുട്ടികള്‍

തെറ്റിദ്ധരിക്കുന്നത്.

സ്നേഹത്തോടും സന്തോഷത്തോടും സമാധാനത്തോടും ജീവിക്കുന്ന

കുടുംബങ്ങളിലെ ഓരോ മക്കളും പഠിക്കുന്നത് സ്കൂളിലെ പുസ്തകങ്ങളില്‍

എഴുതി വെക്കാത്ത ഭാവി ജീവിതത്തിന്റെ അക്ഷരമാലകളാണ്. ഒന്നാം സ്ഥാനത്തിന് വേണ്ടി ഉറക്കമൊഴിച്ച് മാതാപിതാക്കള്‍ മക്കളെ അടിച്ചും

ചീത്ത വിളിച്ചും പഠിപ്പിക്കുമ്പോള്‍ അതിനോടൊപ്പം തന്നെ ഈ നൂറ്റാണ്ടില്‍ ചെയ്ത്

കൂട്ടാവുന്ന എല്ലാ തെറ്റുകളില്‍ നിന്നും മാറ്റി നിര്‍ത്താനാവശ്യമായ പാഠങ്ങള്‍ കൂടി

പഠിപ്പിക്കാന്‍ ഓരോ രക്ഷിതാവിനും കഴിയട്ടെയെന്നും വിദ്യവിഹാര്‍ ഇനിയുള്ള

കാലങ്ങളിലും മാതൃകയാവട്ടെയെന്നും ആശംസിക്കുന്നു. ഷാഫിര്‍അലി മുഹമ്മദ് പി. ടി. എ ആക്ടിങ്ങ് പ്രസിഡന്റ്

"EDUCATION IS A SHARED COMMITMENT BETWEEN DEDICATED TEACHERS,

MOTIVATED STUDENTS AND ENTHUSIASTIC PARENTS WITH HIGH EXPECTATIONS" My dear Parents, Teachers and Students I was always attracted to the thought – Home is the first school and School is the second

home. In fact, today it has come true. Coronavirus has altered our life including our school

system, teachers, children and parents. Let’s avoid the negativities and look into positivity.

Our homes have become schools and parents have become teachers too. Unimaginable!

But it’s a fact we have to live with now and invariably it is happening- whether we are rich

or poor, far or near. E-learning has emerged as the best way of imparting education. Today, the role of a school is not only to pursue academic excellence but also to motivate and

empower the students to be lifelong learners, critical thinkers, and productive members of an

ever-changing global society. Converting every individual into a self-reliant and independent

citizen, our school provides an amalgam of scholastic and co-scholastic activities.

The world today is changing at such an accelerated rate and we as educators need to

pause and reflect on this entire system of Education. A committed and supportive

management, dedicated teachers, caring and co-operative parents blend harmoniously to

create this school as a child-centric school.Our staff fruitfully employ two diverse

strategies that are of Love and Logic to foster a positive learning environment for all our

students. Love and Logic may seem like two contrasting forces. While love helps nurture

trusting relationships, where students feel respected, appreciated and loved by the

teachers, logic helps develop in students personal responsibility, self control, good

decision making skills, self confidence, and character building with high moral values.Your

child’s learning involves and revolves around an effective partnership between home &

school. We know the stronger the partnership is the more your child will benefit. There is something for everyone here. The variety and creativity of the articles in the

magazine pages represent the talents of Vidya Vihar. I congratulate the entire team for

their hard work and dedication for making this magazine. The reflection of the students’

and teachers' creativity is the epitome of the magazine. I am sure that the positive

attitude, hard work, sustained efforts and innovative ideas exhibited by our young children

will surely stir the minds of the readers and take them to the fantastic world of unalloyed

joy and pleasure. “Success comes to those who work hard and stays with those who don’t

take rest on the laurels of the past” I appreciate all the editorial Team,School Parliament members,teachers and our children

for their contribution to VIDYA VIHAR VISTA.

Usha Nandakumar Principal

RELATIONSHIP

Parenting is the biggest responsibility one can take up. The future of your children is in your

hand, and that is a big job at hand. The journey is tough but rewarding as well. As you see your

children grow to become adorable, caring, sensible and responsible, you feel satisfied about a

job well done. And to keep you motivated ,I shares parenting quotes that are inspiring ,and

reflect your love and care, and the relationship with the child. This quote will reassure you that you are on the right path. “Parents are the ultimate role models for children. Every word, every movement, and the action

affects. No other person or outside force has a great influence on a child than a parent”---

BobKeeshan Parents can play a key role in helping nurture a good sibling relationship and reduce sibling

rivalry and conflict. By encouraging activities that foster teamwork, setting kids up to have fun

together , and giving kids the tools to work out conflicts in a constructive and respectful manner,

parents can help siblings develop a good relationship that will carry them through the rest of their

lives. Explain to your children and remind them periodically that family, and especially siblings, can be

the kind of unshakable love and support that cannot easily be matched. STELLA VINCENT VICE PRINCIPAL

"Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up.

Figure out how to climb it, go through it or work around it." -Michael Jordan.

When covid-19 epidemic struck - panic, worry and frustration did outburst. There was a lot of doubts mainly at the area of education on how to proceed further and the situation itself was completely clueless but the ability to tinker and adapt and the strength to manifest facing the obstacles to clear out and lead on the path forward is in the spirits of Vidya Vihar. The year

2021-22 according to us Viharians is an example that no obstacle in existence can tremble our foundation. Being the 22nd School Captain with four years of experience being in the parliament and

leading this year's team that represents our school has become the biggest part of my

identity now. For me getting the post was one thing but the real objective is to create a

simulation of offline schooling through online platforms and major recognition for this year's

team of parliament who worked their way through this pandemic. Every student deserves

their school life to be memorable and I as their captain didn't want a pandemic to lose their

spirits about the joyful and pleasant schooling experience and I wanted to ensure that by the

end of this year all the classes from KG to 12th knew exactly that given the opportunity

anyone can make a drastic situation bloom flowers. Online schooling put forth a lot of limitations but nothing is impossible if you set your mind

into overcoming those limitations. We had our parliament election to elect the school captain,

school vice captain, fine arts secretary, sports secretary, magazine editor, house captains and

house vice captains for the houses Prathibha, Prerana, Vasudha and Vipula. All the four

houses were assigned their respective house mistresses. We have been very lucky to have a

virtual investiture ceremony soon after our election. All the student leaders - the members of

the student council has been elected for one reason - to play their part in representing who

they are and what they did. We wanted to show that not a single step taken by our school

authorities in forming the parliament had been put to waste. The parliament as a team was

successful in working strategically and completing the works given in time. We used to break

a big project into tasks and used to complete it by setting deadlines for each task. The

strategic method is promised to bring out the keen sense of responsibility and team work a

leader should have. Practicing and moving forth like this is how I led my team of 13 parliament

members – focusing on each individual and their commitment towards their duty. I’m

honoured to bring up broad mindedness and team spirit amongst my team with the goal of

preparing them to take up my position in the coming years

In the year 2021-22 the school parliament has been a part in conducting: - Virtual Arts Competitions (with inter house competition) to bring out the talented, Virtual Sports Day

(with inter house competition and virtual mass drill) which was mainly intended to create

the essence of school life tasteful. We released the first ever E-magazine of our school

which we consider as a great success. Interview with Mrs. Priya which was intended to teach

social skills and the power of exposure to our students. Virtual Art and Craft Exhibition to

signify the importance of art and craft in our daily life and how it represented the role of

teaching us moral values. House wise virtual Debate competition and Virtual Conference

was conducted for enhancing the language and communication skills. The formation of

WhatsApp groups for the student council and all the four houses was a really large step

taken by the school for the easiness of the working of the parliament. The house points and

house cup just as we had in the offline years had been the main goal for the house

department and the healthy competition and the goal to win the house cup is what I believe as the beauty of house events. On behalf of my team let me say that the student council is much honoured to have played

a part in organizing these events.I feel immense pride and honour to have addressed my

friends as their head girl. None of that would have been possible without the constant

support and encouragement that I've been provided with throughout the years. I express

my sincere gratitude towards our principal of the school Mrs. Usha Nandakumar and vice

principal Mrs. Stella Vincent for believing in the strength of the student council and giving us

endless opportunities to prove our worth by sanctioning many of our ideas. Managing

trustee Advocate KV Mohanakrishnan Sir, PTA vice president Shafeer Ali Sir, Staff head of the parliament Mrs. Veena, CCA coordinator Mrs. Sulabha, the house

mistresses, section heads, teaching and non teaching staffs, not a single event would have

taken place successfully if not for your constant support, thank you for entrusting me with

the most transformative responsibility I have ever had. Thank you to the whole team of student council whom I consider as the best. I could not

have asked for a better team to have carried out my plans with enthusiasm and energy.

Special thanks to my Vice Captain Parvathy B who have been the most perfect companion I

had this year. My gratitude extends towards the entire student Viharians, my mom, my

family, 12th batch, the alumni, the previous school leaders the support of each and every

one of you keeps the spirits up for the student council. From the bottom of my heart I thank

each and everyone and the almighty for the blessings bestowed upon us. My dear friends who took the time to read this, what matters is the kind of people we are

and the kind of impact we create. This year my friends I want you to try and make an

impact, you to try and change someone's life, to try and inspire someone, to try and make

memories that will last you a lifetime. This year's parliament worked to create a change

and set an example being the voice of the entire school and let me pledge that whether we

have a badge and you do not doesn't matter as long as we come from the same school

and so does our hearts beat as one. Thank you Ilham Nadhir School Captain

I was elected as the deputy leader of the academic year 2021-22. I am very proud to be known as the vice captain of Vidya vihar Central school. As we all know that it was a pandemic situation and the schools were closed and it was

I closed my eyes Between the voids of unconsciousness And unfathomable slumber In the obscure depths of my mind I recognized someone Whom I lost long ago. A face as familiar to me As my own eyes stood In the corner of a place I know,yet I don’t I saw you as you were A long time ago In the veiled memories Of my by gone childhood Startled I stood For a second or two Before I ran towards you And hold your hands As if to assure myself That you were present In this altered reality in this moment A wave of recognition Washes away all uncertainties, It was undoubtedly the hand I hold onto while I hopped All the way home,from school.

Sulit (adj)something that is worth it

The times when one sets their foot in a dirty puddle only to get themselves

drenched are numerous. Human life is so unfair that we step in many puddles one

after the other now and then , sometimes unknowinglyor else with consent. Even

though some might enjoy it or some may curse it at the moment.Some it may

look at it as a nostalgic memory to reminisce in the near future. We may not like it

then our foot steps in these puddles at the moment but do we think of it as a

second chance to be more conscious of ourselves? As it is said ,we must learn from everything around us and one of whose examples

can be taken is the puddle incident. We go home , we tidy up ourselves , we wash

our feet a bit more and the next day we avod the same puddle but few paces

apart we may step in to another puddle.That is just how life is, its an endless chain

of puddles where we keep on getting in one after the other. Soon enough, we start

enjoying it , the next time we get drenched in a puddle we take it as fun or else we

teach ourseles not to step in once again. We keep on gaming through this endless cycle. Whenever life gives us another

puddle , we step in it courageously romantizing our life. When we are good at the

situation, we start enjoying the moment, may be future too and see the puddle as

a new opportunity. Every puddle teaches us something till we are stern enough to

take it as a challenge more over like a lesson from which we should learn. Evertthing may seem hard but we shall not give up. Remember all these will

always be a worth at the end.

The secret garden -II

A bright, sunny morning at missedwaite manor.There came a lady , tired but beautiful,

almost fainted , near the steps of the manor. There were gaurds all around watching

her. She just had three words on her tongue..." can I here?" and then she fainted. The

gaurds called the servants and took her to the verandah. After sometime , she woke up

and saw many people around her. they asked her "Where are you from ?" " Why did you

come here?" . She diddn't have an answer for the first question as she was unaware of it

. She just wanted to say that she was without food for months and she had only some

nuts and fruits from some trees. She had been living alone in the dark and hardly any

food to eat . It was informed that after an accident she was brought to a hospital and as

she seemed week , her family was informed she is died. From there, she was then taken

to a dark place . From there she eacaped and a sweet family accepted her , she lived

there for a month. though she didn't want to live them . She wished to find her real

family. In that journey, she come there . Everyone was alarmed and felt sorry for her. To

calm her up , the maid Medlock took her to the secret garden which was the happy

garden , then with the children. They all did some gardening and got to know each other

very well. Finally when it was evening they were about to leave Dickon find some similarities in Colin and the lady. He asked her what her name was - 'Lilias ' she replied.

She told,"it was what people at the dark place told me ".Diccon was familiar with the

name and asked her once more -"What was the accident?" she replied,"They told me I

fell from a tree and I was hurt severly ." " Was it in a garden ?" asked Diccon. She

thought for a while and said " I think so...... I don't remember ".These all happend . When Craven was on his business trip , he reached there at night to see the lady , he

was amazed... it was his lady ... he asked Diccon "What had happend ?" . He announced

that his dead wife was found alive and they had a feast to celebrate it . Colin was more

happy to see his mom , who couldn't believe her eyes that he grew up too big. Colin and

Mary shared everything about how their lives changed and Liliyana was too excited to

hear those next moments which she missed in her life with family . Next morning -

Everyone even the children gathered in the secret gardner Ben . They all slept there in a

dream of Mary comes her mother . Her mother had her lesson and said . Asma Abdul Samathe XB

the Q1 hotel and resort.  From the balcony of the building I was able to see the golden

sandy beaches and mesmerising blue waters. The most exciting part about this city was

the different varieties of theme parks. I was able to experience Disney themed Movie

world where I got to see all my favourite cartoon characters in real life such as bugs, 

bunny and Mickey Mouse. At SeaWorld, which was full of aquatic animals from all

around the world, I could enjoy dolphins perform circus tricks and see penguins

swimming underwater. Another highlight was walking through the largest underwater

aquarium where I saw thousands of exotic fishes. Not only did I get to see them but also

I was able to touch stingrays, starfish and dolphins. My next journey was to Sydney

where I stayed at the Meriton apartments for 7 days with a surrounding view of the

Sydney harbour bridge and the beautiful Sydney opera house. Once I arrived there I

travelled to the Sydney opera house by a city cat(speed boat) and got to walk around

the surroundings. After that, I made my way to Madame Tussaud’s wax museum where I

got to take pictures with the wax statues of all my favourite celebrities. My next

destination was to the blue mountains in the outskirts of the city. I travelled up the

mountain on a glass cable car with a view of all the mountainous terrain. After that I

was able to hike through the bushes of the dense forests to reach an old coal mine

which is a historic sight. My journey came to an end after long road trip from Sydney to

Brisbane which took me through many coastal towns and heritage listed national parks

in the Australian outback. Overall, my trip to Australia is one of the biggest highlights in

my life. After a month, I travelled to Singapore. Singapore had heaps of delicious food.

At Marina Bay Sands, I was able to enjoy shopping at the largest complex and also

eating at a delicate restaurant which served food, I’ve never tried before; filet mignon

steak with beer battered chips. After having wonderful holiday trip to these dream

holiday destinations it was a very sad journey back home to Cochin Airport. Sreedevika K P VII A

Alone Hopeless years were they, Life seemed more bitter. Even the smiles were fake, they were simply imposters. And left me alone in the

darkness. It looked like a horror movie. But nothing made me alone. I fought against the darkness, and defeated all the worries. There came the luckiest

moment I ever had in my life.

The night Beneath the stars I am laying Beyond the stars unknown. Something special about this

feeling, The stars, the moon, the

darkness Pause: I wish this moment stays still, as the stars peep into my soul

Treasure of Colours Up in the sky A group of colours A group of treasures An enchanting of colours Counted and counted At last, we could find There are seven colours The treasure of colours The colours by God The colours by Nature The colours by living beings Are seen in the blue sky.

Voicemates Many may not be familiar with her name. Anamika is an Indian author as well as a

blogger. She is also a motivational speaker in India and composed many one-of-a-

kind masterpieces! After her debut book "Too hard to handle", she felt motivated

to write Voicemates! I got this book when my mom bought it for me. I read it and

fell in love with it. It is about the story of a kind, obedient and intelligent girl named Tulip and an

easy going, flirty yet sweet boy, Sam. Both led different lives. Tulip Was from a

wealthy family whereas Sam belonged to middle class family. Both of them

happened to meet each other on one reason- music. It was super expected how

they met. They were given and gifted with breathtaking voices. Voicemates was a

reality show aired on TV in which a single couple wins each season. On their

surprising journey to succeed their dreams they met their ups and downs.

Voicemates offered a thrilling adventure for both Sam and Tulip. Do you think they will fall in love with each other? Well, read the book yourself

and check it out .

Aswathy Menon VIII A An eternal realization Everything has turned upside down When I realised I am alive. Life is nothing but is stopping place, A stop on

whats meant to be. Its a place to rest along the way, to sweet and

sour eternity. We all have different Journeys, and different parts along the way We are meant to learn many but never ever meant to stay. Our destiny is a place, so much better than we know. For some, the journey is quicker, and for

others it might be slow.

Establishment of Anandpur Sahib

The Khalsa stood the strongest, Oh my ,oh my dear men, how many To the alarmed emperors wonders Guru trusted his beloved Panj Piare, have you seen? Many wouldn’t you say! Owners of the two edged swords Hadn’t you and I admired those beauty, When the Rajas and Mughals held hands Beauty built with blood of brave men And the wars began.

Frist battel of 1700, Guru and Paindara Khan A city of big men have you seen? from the Mughals fought till the end, A unique turban they wear, To be seen with the death of the latter, And strong physique they own, Ad so, did they flee for the loss. Anandpur Sahib I say But nothing ended there The city at edge of the mighty Shivaliks, four years of breath, The beauty near the flowing Sutlej To destroy their Powerful resistance, Sending men after men , The ‘City of Bliss' in the Holy Punjab but no victory they won The city that stand on the sacrificed lives! But again, not they gave up, After all those failures, Oh men we learn history They had to think nasty, And this is no mystery And so left them to starve , can’t they Oh let me ,oh let me tell you that history For they rule the land Which once was Anandpur Sahib’s story

Later again, With safety, out of Anandpur! The Great Guru Teg Bahadur, Offers laid to them , which was accepted found Chakk Nanaki, he gave But no safe was it as said, the name, after his mother, The loses they had were many The powerful Khalsa formed by Children , women and all their loved ones Guru Gobind Sing, I say , Laid dead for them to weep Had a heart soft as a feather, But you see ,the lives they lost , the sacrifices they made, And physique hard as rock, Never went in vain Used for no war,but to guard their own self Not the least they gave up . The pain of their loss lighted the fire Again , fought their rival Oh thinking men, still will you stand, For victory at last was their’s Seeing sword pointed to your ‘soul’ And so , Ananpur Sahib Was Born Again!

NO, wouldn’t you? and I say,

So the same were they

Dear Muthacha, All my life, I cherish your memories and the time we spent together. I still

remember the day, when you asked me to write a story. But how well can a 9-

year-old girl write? So, you told me "I will give you the thread and you can

elaborate it beautifully to make it a sensible story." At that time as a kid, I wrote

something, but you didn't tell me that I needed to improvement , instead you told

me "one of my descendants has got the real talent in writing. As any other child, who always likes to be appreciated, I too was excited after this

and I started to scribble something or the other with a feeling that I am writing

stories . Every time I gave you my writings, you told me ‘'yeah, it's good and you must

continue writing" I was keen on visiting Kochi whenever I got a chance. If someone ask me, "why

should you go to Kochi when there’s no one over there to play with? ", I used to

reply "No, I have my Muthachan there and he’s my play mate and that’s more

than enough for me’’. But the true reason I like to visit you was that whenever I planned to come to you, I

would have at least a dozen stories in my mind to tell you. And you are the one

and only person who sat patiently with me and listened to whatever I said. Time passed and you grew old.... You would often call me over phone, when we

were apart and we both used to talk for a long time till someone interrupted our

talks. On your 79th birthday we spent the day together and it was a memorable

day too . You told me that you felt very happy. I didn't know at that time, what you

mean by that... I remember, During the lockdown days I called you to give some suggestions of

how to escape from boredom, like Muthcha, you could watch the movie ‘Summer

in Bethlehem’ or some social satires like ‘Thateem Mutteem’ and so on.i still

remember your words after watching them telling me , "yeah, they are good ones

". Once when I came to Kochi to stay with you during my vacation, I gave you a

little wine to taste and after a sip you told me "haa it's good, I like it’’, but I

understood that you didn't like it, but you pretended so, just to make me happy. I

know you are so concerned about me and my happiness. I know you had a special passion for stories. Why am I telling you this is, whenever

I called you, I used to tell you the stories of some movies which I have recently

watched. Whether you liked them or not, you used toshare your opinions openly

with me.

I still remember that day. You were sitting with me on the sofa and I just came

and lay down in your lap. That night I told you the story of the movie 'koode'

and after listening to that story, you told me, “the story is good but I don't like

the part where the girl dies.” I just felt like I wanted to relieve you from that

thought, so I just told you the story of movie, Godha and after that you went to

sleep and I promised you to tell you some more stories the next day. The next day I woke up hearing the commotion at home and I saw , you were

not well and you were being taken to the hospital. Then everyone consoled me,

telling me that you will be alright and will be back home soon, but when I saw

you again you were not able to hear me or reply me. You left me for ever. The

least expected had happened. Then It is really a great loss in my life. But I still

believe that you are with me. The reason why I write this is, I wrote a new poem

today and I wanted you to listen to it and correct my errors . But you are not

there with me. But I can assure you that I inherited the real skill of writing from

my Muthachan. I am very proud to say to the world that I have got the best

grandfather in the world. Parvathy B Role of education in children Education plays a vital role in one's life. It could be a weapon to success. Education of a child begins at home. It certainly determines the

quality of an individual's life. It improves one's knowledge, skills and also develops

personality and attitude. A highly educated individual is likely to get a better job. First

of all, education teaches the ability to read and write. It makes an individual a better

client of Technology. People become more mature when they are educated. It enables

individuals to express their views efficiently. When we look into the significance of

education in the society, we understand that it helps in spreading knowledge in the

society. It makes a difference in the advancement of Technology. Education is a Ray of

light in the darkness. It certainly is a hope for good life. Education is a basic right of

every human on this planet. Uneducated youth is always a headache to every Nation

and humanity. So All the Nations must promote education in their country.

Wuthering heights Wuthering heights is a classic novel written by Emily Brontë, considered as an "evergreen classic" by many

readers. The author of the book Emily Brontë was born on 30 July 1818 in thornton, Yorkshire, England,

had a tragic  family past. She was the fifth of six children . Her mother died of cancer when she was young.

Her two sisters then died of tuberculosis, which Emily was affected right after sometime of publishing her

only book "Wuthering heights " And died at the age of 30.      The book Wuthering heights was the first classic novel I have ever read or we could say it was the book

which made me fall in love with reading. The story touched my heart in a different way and I believe it was

because of the way the author portrayed each and every characters feeling through a whole different

persons point of view . The book "Wuthering heights" deals with the life of a character named "heathcliff"

who was despised by others for not having a second name. Heathcliff's hatred towards the peoples is

clearly shown in his ruthless attitude . Heathcliff was brought to Wuthering heights by Mr Earnshaw. Mr

Earnshaw's son hintely held a deep hatred towards heathcliff and equally were tortured by hintely. Above

all, the hatred and despise heathcliff faced had broken his heart and  made him runaway was his

sweetheart Catherine's decision of choosing Edgar linton, Heathcliff's sworn enemy. The story takes a

drastic change here and that too not in a good way. By the end of the story the characters meet with a

tragic fate and those events deeply touched my heart. The English used in this chapter is the native and

old language of England which was hard for me to understand. At the end, what I understood from the

book is how a person is deeply affected by the people around him, which is one of the biggest reason why

I recommend this book for others to read. Also this book is dealing with heavy emotions which can be

triggering sometime. But at the end I felt it was worth my time, of reading this book.

My Quarantine In my life I have two dreams, 1] I should be capable to continue whatever my parents started, 2] I want to be

independent and my parents should be happy for what I am. I am delighted because I have always made my family

proud and never left my mother’s head down. When the pandemic started, I was desperate and I thought I won’t be able to do my extra activities along with my

studies . I missed so many programmes like group dance, arts fest, sports day, Sahodaya, Onam celebration Christmas

celebration, school trip, annual day and tons and tons of fun. I am an extrovert and I cannot stay at home doing nothing

for more than 3 days but I was forced to stay at home due to the pandemic . It was too difficult for me to accept the

reality so I was not able to focus on my studies and I always blamed the virus for everything but then I realised that I

have so much time and I can do so many things other than eating, drinking and sleeping. On that day I decided to

change my routine and told to myself that I cannot wait until I get blessed to solve a problem, I should be the one to

change every problem into a blessing. From then I started trying new things by sitting at home. I started to draw and

tried lots and lots of different things. Now I gained a lot of things and I am exceedingly proud to announce it because not every normal 15yearold can do what

I am doing right now. Today I feel like I am beyond the bounds as I have got 2 awards by the age of 13, two diplomas in

dance at the age of 14 and I am a teacher at the age of 15. I am working for the development of Saalabhanjika, our

dance studio and earning 2000/- per month. I developed my painting skills and at present I am painting 8 feet long wall.

I am so happy to do all these activities while studying and this has all happened due to this pandemic. I have heard so many thoughts and its real that this virus has really affected so many lives, even it was difficult for me

to accept at first but I would like to convey through my life not to blame any problem for the difficulties in life because

they are big, it’s just you are too small to accept it. Whenever you understand this, you will grow big to accept your

problems and live your life to the fullest.

FIRST HAND EXPERIENCE AS AN ENTREPRENEUR Degas famously said that art is not about what you see, but about what inspires others to see. In

other words, rather than considering ourselves from our perspective as creators, we also have to

consider the audience/client and customer's perspective. Getting started with a small business may seem simple, but not everyone 1nds it straightforward.

The 1rst time when I thought of starting a business, I was a little confused, how do I run both

business and my studies. But my parents and cousins gave me the con1dence that I can handle

both my business and my education. It is said that everyone may not have talents and creativity.

Thus I decided to stage my creativity in the 1eld of handicrafts. It was named ALPHASTRING since it was commenced in the year 2020, we changed it to ALPHASTRING_20. My small business is all

about art and crafts. Customization is always a good idea, whatever kind of gift it is. Gift hampers,

explosion boxes, chocolate bouquets, we supply all kinds of presents. In the beginning, it was quite

hard to make gifts with much perfection And to complete the work in timeframe. After making a

lot of gifts, it was easy for me to do everything pretty. And so on and so far, I love doing those

cute little things that make me happy. Unlike making gifts, prize-giving for each personalized gift

was so difficult. In fact, my small business is incomplete without the support of my sister. She

helps me a lot in making hoops, writing calligraphy etc. She is also a part of my small business. I

will share a little fun experience, one that made me confused and another that made me believe

that we can do something with nothing. The 1rst is about an explosion box, it is a cute gift stuff.

Everyone thinks that it's very easy to do but really it's tough. I took the correct measurement and

made the box. It was a 2 layered chocolate explosion box I made the 1rst layer and pasted pattern

papers and chocolates, then the second layer. I did the same after everything I've put on the box

lid. Due to the heaviness of the chocolate, it was tough for me to put the lid on . It was already

midnight, I have to deliver the order in the morning itself. At the same time , I didn’t have enough

papers to redo that box. Thus I was really confused on what to do. Not even the slightest idea

struck me. Everyone was asleep and I was the only person who was awake that night, it was

nearly 1 o’clock. I thought of an idea with which I cut and made the second box, even smaller ,then

closed the lid. Thanks to god , it came flawlessly. and I was able to deliver it just in time. And the

next one, like I said before I made something with nothing, I received the order on the eve of their

anniversary, and it was given by my cousin. We had nothing then no paper, no cardboard, literally

nothing was available, it was lockdown then and we could do nothing. we had a stock loop with us

and after searching a lot I found a couple of small Rowers, we painted the hoop with the red

colour and took a white paper piece and glued the paper with the loop and wrote inside it,

BOMBSHELL! it turned out to be awesome, it became a rare work that I haven’t seen yet on

Instagram. This was my second experience where we thought it is going to be ruined and a

disaster but turned great later. And I received the best reviews, I was so happy. When I share all

these you may think when I do find time to make gifts, I too had the same doubt. When 10th grade

exams are coming up, I should score good my mind was filled with numerous doubts. Every day

except Sunday and Saturday I have classes, it starts in the morning and have online classes in the

evening. After my busy schedule , I am free during nights. There I 1nd the night to 1nish my orders.

And handmade gifts frequently leave the receiver feeling loved. The main part is customers

review, all the reviews shared by the customers were great, their good comments about gifts

make goosebumps in me and that's in a nutshell, all about my little journey in the 1eld of

handicraft, which is still going on……..

അച്ഛന്റെയും അമ്മയുടെയും ശകാരം കേൾക്കാൻ വയ്യാതെയാണ് കിടന്നുറങ്ങിയത്. എപ്പോഴും അവരുടെ

നാവിൽ ഒന്നു മാത്രമേയുള്ളൂ, രാജുന്റെ മോൻ എൻജിനീയറായി, സീത ചേച്ചിയുടെ മോൾക്ക് എന്താ

ശമ്പളം , ഇവിടെ ഒരുത്തൻ ഉണ്ട് തേരാപാരാ കളിച്ചു നടക്കും. ആ പിള്ളേരുടെ കൂട്ടു വേണ്ടെന്ന് ഒരു നൂറ്

പ്രാവശ്യം പറഞ്ഞിട്ടുള്ളതാ.അതിനു പറഞ്ഞത് അനുസരിച്ചാൽ അല്ലേ. ദേഷ്യവും വാശിയും ഒരുപോലെ

വന്നിട്ടാണ് ബെഡിലേക്ക് ചാഞ്ഞത്. എത്ര ശ്രമിച്ചിട്ടും ഉറക്കം വന്നില്ല. അപ്പോഴാണ് ആ പുസ്തകം എന്റെ

കണ്ണിൽ കണ്ടത്. ആരോ മറന്നുപോയതാണെന്ന് തോന്നുന്നു. ബാഗിൽ നിന്ന് ഞാനെടുത്തു ബെഡിൽ

വച്ചു, എന്തായാലും വേണ്ടില്ല ഉറക്കമോ ഇല്ല ഇതെങ്കിലും വായിക്കട്ടെ, അങ്ങനെ വിചാരിച്ച് ആ കഥ

ഞാൻ വായിച്ചു തുടങ്ങി

ഒരിക്കൽ ഒരു ഗ്രാമത്തിൽ അച്ഛനും അമ്മയും മകനും ഉണ്ടായിരുന്നു. ആ മകൻ പഠിക്കുമായിരുന്നില്ല.

എപ്പോഴും അവനെ അച്ഛനും അമ്മയും പഠിക്കാൻ നിർബന്ധിക്കുമായിരുന്നു. അവർ അവനോടു പറഞ്ഞു

" എടാ കുരുത്തം ഇല്ലാത്തവനെ വല്ലതും രണ്ടക്ഷരം പഠിക്ക്, പഠിച്ചാൽ നിനക്ക് ചോറാകും. അവർ മകനെ എപ്പോഴും പഠിക്കാൻ നിർബന്ധിച്ചു കൊണ്ടേയിരുന്നു. ഇത് കേട്ട് കേട്ട് സഹിക്കാൻ

വയ്യാതെ അവൻ നാടുവിടാൻ തീരുമാനിച്ചു. നാടു വിടുന്നതിനു മുമ്പ് അവൻ മനസ്സിൽ ഒന്നുകൂടി തീരുമാനിച്ചിരുന്നു. എനിക്ക് ഗുരുത്വവും, പഠിപ്പും

വേണം. ഇതും മനസ്സിൽ ഓർത്തുകൊണ്ട് ഒരു വീടിന്റെ മുന്നിലൂടെ നടന്നു പോകുമ്പോൾ ഒരു വലിയ

ശബ്ദം കേട്ടു. ആളുകളെല്ലാം ഓടിക്കൂടി അവനും ഒന്നു ഞെട്ടി. ഒരു വലിയ തെങ്ങ് തന്റെ തൊട്ടു

മുമ്പിലേക്ക് വീണിരിക്കുന്നു. ഓടിക്കൂടിയവർ എല്ലാവരും പറഞ്ഞു, നിനക്ക് ഗുരുത്വം ഉണ്ട്. അല്ലെങ്കിൽ ഈ

തെങ്ങ് നിന്റെ തലയിൽ വീണേനെ. അതോടെ തനിക്ക് ഗുരുത്വം ഉണ്ടെന്ന് അവൻ മനസ്സിൽ ഉറപ്പിച്ചു ഇനി

വേണ്ടത് രണ്ടക്ഷരം പഠിക്കുകയാണ്.

അങ്ങനെ അവൻ വീണ്ടും നടക്കാൻ തുടങ്ങി. ഒരു മജിസ്ട്രേറ്റും ഒരു വക്കീലും അവന്റെ മുന്നിലൂടെ

നടന്നു പോകുന്നുണ്ടായിരുന്നു . അവൻ അവരുടെ പിന്നാലെ നടന്നു. അവർ എപ്പോഴും എസ് ആർ നോ

സാർ എന്നാണ് പറഞ്ഞിരുന്നത്. ഇതുകേട്ട് അവൻ ആ രണ്ടു വാക്കുകൾ പഠിച്ചു. അവൻ

നടന്നുകൊണ്ടേയിരുന്നു. പെട്ടെന്ന് ഒരു അമ്മൂമ്മയുടെ മാലപൊട്ടിച്ച് കള്ളൻ ഓടിപ്പോകുന്നത് അവൻ

കണ്ടു. അവൻ കള്ളന്റെ പിന്നാലെഓടി. അമ്മൂമ്മയുടെ കരച്ചിൽ കേട്ട് കാര്യം അന്വേഷിച്ച നാട്ടുകാർ പിടി

കൂടിയത് കള്ളനെ പിടിക്കാൻ ഓടിയ ആളെ ആയിരുന്നു. പൊലീസെത്തി അവനെ ചോദ്യം ചെയ്തു.

"നീയാണോ അമ്മൂമ്മയുടെ മാല മോഷ്ടിച്ചത്" അവൻ പറഞ്ഞു "എസ് സാർ" . എന്നാൽ ആ മാല തിരിച്ചു

കൊടുക്കെടാ "അവൻ വീണ്ടും പറഞ്ഞു നോ സാർ" പോലീസ് അവനെ അറസ്റ്റ് ചെയ്തു കോടതിയിൽ കൊണ്ടുപോയി. വക്കീൽ അവനോട് ചോദിച്ചു.'

നീയാണോ അമ്മൂമ്മയുടെ മാലപൊട്ടിച്ചത്'. അവൻ മറുപടി പറഞ്ഞു 'എസ് സാർ ' നിനക്ക് എന്തെങ്കിലും പറയാനുണ്ടോ അവൻ വീണ്ടും പറഞ്ഞു 'നോ സർ' ജഡ്ജിയുടെ വിധിയിൽ അവനു കഠിനതടവ് ലഭിച്ചു. ജയിലിലെത്തി ഭക്ഷണം കഴിക്കാൻ ഇരിക്കുന്ന സമയം അവൻ മനസ്സിൽ പറഞ്ഞു. എന്റെ അച്ഛനും

'അമ്മയും പറഞ്ഞത് എത്ര ശരിയാണ് രണ്ടു വാക്ക് പഠിച്ചപ്പോൾ തന്നെ എനിക്ക്ചോറായില്ലേ' വായിച്ചു കഴിഞ്ഞതും നെഞ്ചിൽ ഒരു വെള്ളിടി വെട്ടി, ഈശ്വരാ ഡോക്ടറും എഞ്ചിനീയറും

ഒന്നുമില്ലെങ്കിലും ഇതുപോലെ ആവാതിരുന്നാൽ മതിയായിരുന്നു.

തുടങ്ങി.കുതിരയെ പോലെ അവൾ ഒാടി. എല്ലാവരും

അത്ഭുതപ്പെട്ടു. പിന്നെ പ്രോത്സാഹനമായി. ആ
