It gives me immense joy to see that our school has, over the years, acquired the true mark of excellenc

a world class school, not only in the field of academic learning, but in all areas of educational activ

Youth resonates with infinite potential. Youth is our future. I believe that the students accomplishm

will exceed with wildest dreams.

The school is in constant and continuous process of educating and enhancing the personality and

Knowledge of children, infusing them with a greater degree of confidence and poise than what their

predecessors gained from the school.

Children have an impressionable mind full of curiosity and sensitivity, always seeking avenues to expr

their ideas. I have been striving to sharpen the quality of that consciousness and an urge in them to e

by providing ample opportunities for tapping this potential.

I share my joy and applaud the creative contributions of students and members of MPS family in bringi

I started on my homework

But I lost my pencil

My ratty rat churned my notebook

My computer went blank

My naughty notebook played hide and

seek

My bossy brother pulled my chair

I ran and pulled his ear

My mommy mum shouted and pulled me up

My darling dad did not even support me

But wait! What am I upto?

Finding excuses, scratching my brain

Its better to finish my work fast

And then to run out to play.

THE RISING STARS

Child Labour

Many children have smiling facesAnd fun many a times,But there are some children

Who never even have enough to dine,

They have to work all day,To earn their daily paySome of them do cleaning, some of them do

wearingBut still its difficult for themTo make a decent living.

Why cant these children enjoy if we can?Only because they are the children of poor men

Why do they have to bear their masters rod?Is it because they are children of a lesser God?

Please stop child labour,No more mournful nights,But only innocent faces

With happy smiles and sparkling eyes.

What is common between

Autumn leaves and Ripening Bananas

The green colour in unripe bananas comes from chlorophyll, the same pigment

gives green leaves their colour. As bananas ripen, the chlorophyll breaks down

disappears, revealing the yellow colour, which was there along.

The yellow and orange of autumn leaves are also revealed as

their chlorophyll breaks down. When banana ripens, thestarch changes to sugar and flesh softens as pectin

(a carbohydrate) breaks down.

POLITICS&YOUTHThe India that we have today was never thought of by our Leaders.It is so because we are still an imperviously sovereign, incompe-tently socialist, illiberally secular and an immaturely democraticrepublic of India. We are a country of 1 billion but a nation of only500 i.e. we have a huge unutilized capacity to become a full fledgeddemocracy. What we presently lack is the ability.

There are many misconceptions which breed in todays society andare percolating down to the younger generation. That is whypolitics is shunned in todays world. Ask any 10 year old about whathe wants to become when he grows up??? He would say, Doctor,

Lawyer, Engineer, Police Officer, Cricketer but never a politician. Why so?? The future of a nationlies on in its polity, the citizens and thereby its youth.

On the other hand the young generation seems too pre-occupied with pressures of daily life such aseducation, environment, livelihood, luxury and indulgence.According to them politics is that bog (marshy place) which no one would like to step into as theirconscience would not allow to do so. Therefore the demand of a good leader does not meet anysupply curve with the end result that there is no interaction as their exists no market.

But the fact remains that the youth has a tremendous role to play in politics. As of today it mightseem as uncharted territory but given time, things will improve and someone has to make a begin-ning. Youth has a creative outlook, a positive attitude required to face the ills of the country andyet move ahead and tackle them squarely instead of making speeches and polite conversations.

Youth has the zeal, enthusiasm and energy to work for various issues of our country instead ofmasquerading under the banner of India Shining. Youth is the future of the country. There aremany more issues to be dealt with than are apparent in the day to day life. Our govt. machinery isunnecessarily loaded with vile bureaucrats with deep pockets always waiting and wanting to befilled endlessly.

So as the common but aware and educated citizens of the country we should put our hands up andtake responsibility and impose our rights in this democratic land. We should get together and raiseour voice in unison for the betterment of the country and for a better TOMORROW.

SANSKRIT IS THE ROOT OF

INTERNATIONAL LANGUAGES

The first script as given to the world by India, was the Bhramni Script. It is believed that Bhramni Script

is as old as India. It was discovered approximately 194 Crores years ago. After that Sanskrit language was

discovered in India, which could be expressed in writing also. The script of Sanskrit is Dev Nagri which

taught reading, writing and speaking to the world for the first time. Not only this, all other languages such

as German, Spanish, French, Turkish, Portuguese, and Italian etc were also derived from Sanskrit. It is hard

for us to believe that today also in many German Universities Sanskrit is taught as the main subject.

Germany is the First country that introduced Sanskrit in a special university, which is also named after an

Indian Sanskrit Professor. Every year German Government spends a huge amount on Ideology, which

means the study of facts and theories proved by India, because they are a great believer of Sanskrit. The

German Airlines Company Lufthansa is also named after a Sanskrit word Luft -hans, which means an

extinct bird, which was once mostly found in India. Now, it has been proved by the Scientists that Sanskrit

is the best algorithm for the working of computers because of its unique qualities. Sanskrit has such a

perfect grammar, that today in 21st

century also the Grammar is as it is , as it was discovered thousands of

years ago by Maharishi Panini. Even languages like French and German have the same Shabd roops and

Dhatu roops like they are in Sanskrit language. However, deliberately some changes were made in these

Languages so as to differentiate between them and Sanskrit . Sanskrit language has the largest Vocabulary

consisting of 282 Crores and 50 Lakh words in it. If we talk of Literature, then Sanskrit is the largest

literature in the world, but it could not be noticed because of its negligence. Due to the immense knowledge

present in Sanskrit Literature, Britishers have stolen everything from India and recreated it to be spread intheir country. We, Indian can proudly boast that Sanskrit is the root of international languages.

What if God could not take the time to bless us today because we couldnt take thetime to thank him yesterday?

What if God decided to stop leading us tomorrow because we didnt follow him today?What if we never saw another flower bloom because we grumbled when God sent therain?What if God didnt walk with us today because we failed to recognize it as his day?What if God took away his message because we failed to listen to the messenger?What if the door of the church is closed because we didnt open the door of ourhearts?What if God answered our prayers the way we answer his call to service?What if God stopped loving and caring for us because we failed to love and care forothers?What if God meets our needs the way we give him our lives???

Queens Baton 2010 Delhi

The Queens Baton 2010 Delhi was unveiled at a spectacular cultural show held at India Gate in New Delhi on March8, 2009. The Queens Baton 2010 Delhi is a combination of handcrafted excellence and precision engineering; its atrue symbol of India, a blend of its ancient roots and present vibrant, modern identity. It is also representative ofIndias diversity the batons colour scheme showcases soils from every corner of the country, a rich paletteranging from white sands to yellow clay, deep reds to dark browns and an array of other hues.The shape and design of the baton has been created using a triangular section of aluminum which is twisted in theform of a helix and coated with soil in a graduating pattern. The interweaving of coloured soils, including white sands,deep reds, warm yellows, dark browns and an array of other hues creates a very distinctive design, form and texturenever before seen in the styling of a Queens Baton. The very essence of India with its diversity and unrelentingendeavour towards a harmonious and progressive nation has shaped the inspiration of the baton.The Queens message has been symbolically engraved onto a miniature 18 carat gold leaf representative of theancient Indian pathras. The gold leaf inscription reflects the essence and the richness of culture in ancient India.Modern laser technology known as micro calligraphy has been used for the first time to reproduce the Queensmessage in this style. The Queens Baton 2010 Delhi is at 664 millimeters high and is 34 millimeters wide at thebase, and 86 millimeters wide at the top and weighs a mere 1,900 grams. The Queens Baton 2010 Delhi is createdusing processes and technologies existing in India by Foley Design in partnership with Titan Industries and atechnology consortium led by Bharat Electronics Limited.The Queens Baton Relay is one of the great traditions of the Commonwealth Games, having been the curtain -raiserto every Games since Cardiff in 1958. The relay symbolizes the gathering of people from across the Commonwealthat the four-yearly festival of sport and culture. The relay traditionally begins with a commencement ceremony atBuckingham Palace, London, which coincides with the citys Commonwealth Day festivities. There, Her MajestyQueen Elizabeth II entrusts the baton containing Her message to the athletes to the first honorary relay runner. Therelay concludes at the Opening Ceremony as the final relay runner hands the baton back to Her Majesty, or Herrepresentative, and the message is read aloud. At that moment the relay ends and the Games begin. Over the yearsthe Queens Baton Relay has evolved into a powerful symbol of the unity and diversity of the Commonwealth ofNations. With each Games, the tradition grows in scale and significance including more nations, involving moreparticipants and generating more excitement than ever before.
