Creative Corner The Priority Clouds were hiding the grey sky, When Sadao was passing by. Scattering fog made the vision blur, And the waves began to murmur. Sadao stepped on the shore, His heart was beating with thought of war. The war that made the air uneasy, With the nightmare causing days crazy. As the wounds weren’t filled, Notions weren’t deeply drilled. Conflicts were dominating Humanism, Sudden inner voice uttered the vitality of responsibility. Confusions were filtering through prism. Emitting shades of bloody red, gloomy black and rigidity, Dreams were screaming for national-ism. Duty made the way clear, Cause’ the pain was unable to bear. Sanchit Goel XII Science

The Magic Shell

Norman and his friends went to the sea beach. They spent the whole day bathing, fishing and playing on the sand. When it was time to go home, Norman felt very sad. He loved the sound of the waves and wanted to take it home with him. He did not know how to do it. However, he collected some sea weeds, pebbles and one big shell to re-mind him of the sea beach. When he reached home, he was still sad, missing the sound of the sea waves. His mother saw what all he had brought and smiled. She asked Norman if he wanted to hear the waves. Norman was surprised when she put the shell to his ear and asked him to listen care-fully. Norman could really hear the sound of the sea. He was delighted and believed that his shell was a magical one.

Creative Corner The Priority Clouds were hiding the grey sky, When Sadao was passing by. Scattering fog made the vision blur, And the waves began to murmur. Sadao stepped on the shore, His heart was beating with thought of war. The war that made the air uneasy, With the nightmare causing days crazy. As the wounds weren’t filled, Notions weren’t deeply drilled. Conflicts were dominating Humanism, Sudden inner voice uttered the vitality of responsibility. Confusions were filtering through prism. Emitting shades of bloody red, gloomy black and rigidity, Dreams were screaming for national-ism. Duty made the way clear, Cause’ the pain was unable to bear. Sanchit Goel XII Science

The Book of Life Life doesn’t give us chance We give chance to life. Life doesn’t give us happiness and sor-row We attract each towards ourselves. Life doesn’t motivate us We motivate ourselves. Life doesn’t make us We make life for us. Life doesn’t give us birth We came first in the race of life. Life is only for providing time bank That we win fairly not by cheating Live life and enjoy love. Aryan Gupta XI Humanities

Corner in My House I have a corner in my house. It is potted with plants. It is one serene corner often visited by cats. They lie on the couch and fall in slumber, Leaving little space for me to squeeze in When there is not enough room. No one visits the corner It is secluded and left out Making it the quietest place Devoid of darkness and gloom. I have my books waiting in shelves With the coffee on the table. The cat leaps on the table Making it shaky and spilling the coffee She laps up the spilt coffee And is ready to fall asleep On the book on the table Which has pages flapping in the air. The warm corner is cosy With sunlight on the couch It is inviting Me and the cat With the coffee and the book on the table.

Creative Corner Old Eyes Waiting to Be Caught... (At the roundabout, a tree used to wave its hands to the passersby, yesterday I heard that it was found guilty of encroachment and thus was cut forever. Some say that it had already grown fragile. Some still hear its whispering.) Do you remember the garden of green glaze? You spring in my lap when spring blooms in lazy days, You smile and share your delighted dreams I shade and wipe your sweating forehead and lullaby to let you fall asleep. And after these glorious green days, now my twigs turned barren The wind departed my leaves away and me saddened Making me dried and fragile, Fuming sun stole my strength and agile. Sadly, I saw your lovely smile turning into sneer, And the demise of delightful dreams and moroseness appear, I was once the happy phase of your lives, Now just long to your smile and a little care, Once again, I will bloom bidding farewell to this mourning air .

Nothing except warm gales and a long quench made me forlorn, My flowers are no more to gift your sweetheart any more. Because the autumn sprinted into pieces my beautiful glimpse, So, you turned your face leaving me alone with my unseen tears. How I used to give you fragrance, And caresses you to forty wink. How I was once the happy phase of your life, But now I pine for your smile and a little care. Once again, I will bloom with bower, And I’ll get a new life for you.
