My Native PlaceBy: M. Padmanabhan | Class VIII

The place I liveNever I will leaveBeautiful it looks

Like good old booksTemple at the centre

See kopuram when you enterTank by its side for bath

Many scenes you can catchPaddy fields its around

And old river flows beyondSchools are there

Temple bells you hearThe place I live

Never I will leave.

The sun is rising

In the morning,

The cock is making sound

In the town.

The birds are flying

In the air

Which is looking fair.

The fruits are sweet

And that are treat

The air is chill

The fish is breathing using gill.

All are eating food

The morning is good.

Poem

ByS.ThamaraiDharshana

Music

By A. Sowndarya

Music is a hope raiser

Which helps you like a booster!

Music destroys your fears

And it removes your tears;

The devotional song makes you feel that

God is there for you every time.

Music will remove your grief

If you hear it in brief!

Music is a console,

When you are in sole;

I listen to music, whenever I am sad,

And I became music’s mad.

Take music as an advise

And come up in your life with your wise

For me, music is not an art

It is a part of my life.

Fuel plays a vital role in our day today life. It is used in wide range. Here I will discuss about theconservation of fuel. Thus the following details show the importance of fuel conservation.

CONSERVATION OF FUEL – WHY?

The conservation of fuel is necessary for the survival of human being in the earth. Fuel is one ofthe non-renewable sources. A non-renewable resource is a natural resource which cannot beproduced, grown, generated o used on a scale which can sustain its consumption rate. Theseresources often exist in a fixed amount or are consumed much faster than nature can create them.

Some Example of fuels are coal, natural gas, wood etc. Human beings are very eager to destroythe nature. From the nature we can get everything.

FUEL CONSERVATION–HOW?

We should save nature for the sake of our future generation. It gives life for our generation. Thenature is the only source that gives fuel for the human being. By using adequate amount of fuel.This will lead to the conservation of fuel. By planting trees, we would conserve fuel. By thecontrolled use of natural gas, coal, petroleum etc. By these ways we could conserve fuel.

CONCLUSION:

Every person in the world had a duty to save the nature. So I would take the steps to save thenature by conserving fuel and also make my surrounding to conserve the fuel. It use save nature, thenature will save us.

TwinsTwins are two offspring produced by the same pregnancy Twins can occur in two ways. In around a

third of cases just one egg is fertilized but within days it splits, each half developing into an identical baby. Inthe remaining two-thirds, two eggs are released at the same time and both fertilized by separate sperm result-ing in two non-identical babies.

Interesting facts about twins:Identical twins share the same DNA but do not have the same fingerprints.About 1 in 250 pregnancies results in identical twins.22 % percent of twins are left handed, compared to 10% in singletons.40% of twins invent their own language.The average birth weight for a twin is 2.26 kg.Some twins are mirror images of each other.Fraternal twin girls have twice the chance of giving birth to twins than singletons.Nigeria has the highest rate of multiple births and more identical twinsChina has the lowest rate for multiple births averaging 1 in 300.Kodinhi, Kerala is noted for having a high twinning rate, although India has one of the lowest twinning

rates in the worldFor polar bears, twins aren’t unusual at all. In fact, they most commonly give birth to twins, and rarely

deliver single cubs or triplets.

Stop postponingTake control of your own

Understand yourself to know othersVisualize positive things

Where there is a will there is a wayX-(a)ccelerate your effort

You are the bestZest is must

By S. Pavithra |English teacher

Look how the World’s poor people are amazed atapparitions, signs, and prodigies-William Shakespeare.

A superstition is an irrational fear of what isunknown or mysterious.it is founded on ignorance andilliteracy. People all over the world seem to havesuperstitions. Certain hours are believed to beauspicious and certain hours in auspicious. Charmsand amulets are worn as protection against evil spirits.A come in sky is believed to herald the death of a greatperson. The hooting of an owl is supposed ominousand so is the whining of the dog in the dead of night.

It is considered in auspicious to travel towardsthe north on Tuesday and Wednesdays and towardsthe south on Thursdays. Some persons do not pay orlend money on Tuesdays and Fridays; they fear thatthey will be reduced to poverty if they do. Sneezing isregarded as a bad omen; if anybody sneezes before ajourney is to be begun or some important work is to bestarted, it is postponed. If a cat crosses the way when aperson is proceeding or important business, he fearsthat he will not succeed.

In many European countries number 13 isconsidered unlucky, and so many hotels do notcontain rooms numbered 13. They believe that if 13people sit at a dining table, one of them will die in afew days.

It is unfortunate that superstitions still persist inspite of the advance men of science. All superstitionsare obviously baseless and absurd and prevent us formaking progress in life. Man is a rational being. Heshould not allow the clear stream of reason to lose itsway into the dreary desert to superstitions.

Nature By R. Priyanka | Class X

Just the six letter word

That is everywhere in the world

Which gives everything with fresh?

To makes everyone to be re-fresh

Murmuring with themselves – that

They are the stopping shelf

Which gives the energy and confidence?

To identify our nature

They build a beautiful home

With a happy memories bloom

And that all named in a - single word

“NATURE”, OUR HOME, OURRELATION
