TEACHERS' DAY CELEBRATION

The students of New Horizon Public School organized a function on the 6th of September, 2016 to commemorate this day. Teachers thoroughly enjoyed the

AND THAT IS WHY I HATE BUS JOURNEYS

It was that time of the year again,

when we had to visit our extended

family in a remote vil lage in

Tamil Nadu. We usually take a flight to

Chennai and drive to Ramapattinam.

The flight was delayed by two hours

and we reached Chennai at six o'clock.

The car was not waiting for us at the

airport. It was very hot and I was

sweating a lot. My mother was

screaming into the phone. We could

not get another car for the next five

hours. We had no other choice but to

travel by bus. I never travel by bus.

The mere sight of a bus terrifies me. I

suffer from motion sickness and

obsessive compulsive disorder. I

cannot stand dirty places.

I threw a big tantrum, but in the end,

my mother won. I reluctantly entered

the blue colour bus which looked like

it would break down any minute. The

first thing I noticed was the smell. The

whole bus smelled of sweat and fish.

Ramapattinam earned its living by

exporting fish. Hence, the bus reeked

of fish. I wanted a seat in the front, as

it helped my motion sickness, but there

was someone already sitting there. I

was not going to sit at the back, so

my mother had to politely request the

lady sitting there to move. There was

How ironic! They spent the rest

of the journey talking to themselves

and only spoke to me to relate some

incident which they thought was

cute. I wanted to jump out of the

moving bus when the baby sitting

next to me started crying. I wanted

to go back and sit next to my

mother, but someone was already

sitting there. I had already used that

newspaper to clean my hair. There

was no way I would sit there without

protection. The ride was never

ending, and now that I was awake I

could feel every little jolt. When I

thought I could bear this no longer,

we reached our destination. I got up

with renewed enthusiasm and

climbed down the stairs. 'Splash' I

had steeped right into sludge. I

sighed. This was the worst bus ride

ever.

Sanjana Vasanth

I tried to sleep through the journey.

I forgot that the windows of the bus

had no grills. As I leaned against the

frame of the bus, my hair was

outside the window. When I woke

up, I was shaking. My mother shook

me awake! I was about to give her a

piece of my mind, when I felt

something wet on my hair. I was too

scared to even ask what it was. I

threw a fit when I realized that it

was pigeon excreta. The bus driver

waited as I washed it out of my hair.

The newspaper crackled under my

weight. It was uncomfortable but it

was much better than sitting on that

green thing. A boy came and sat in

front of me. Immediately, the bus

smelled of mud and dirt. He had

much on his nails and fingers. I

gagged reflexively. My mother

whacked my hand and told me to

keep quiet. I ignored her as I

plugged the earphones into my ears.

It seemed that all the forces of

nature were conspiring against me

on that day. The men sitting at the

back started singing their folk songs.

Normally, I would have enjoyed this

around a bonfire with hot chocolate,

but under these circumstances, it

was just irritating. I tried to drown

out the noise by increasing the

volume on my phone. The idea failed

miserably. It sounded l ike a

cacophony of horrible sounds.

We were only five miles away from

Ramapattinam. I was seriously

considering walking till there, until I

spotted a familiar face chatting with

my mother.

something green on the seat. I almost

gagged. My mother asked the bus

driver to wait as I purchased a

newspaper from the nearest shop.

It was Ram, my best friend in the

village. I promptly pulled him away

and began talking to him, until he

introduced me to his 'best friend' Sita

THE POPULARS Another note. I sighed while opening it. 'You are so ugly that the juniors of our school start crying when they see you.' This was one of the many notesthat I had received during my first week in this new school. The most logical thing would be to not open them, but it was something my body did inspite of my brain warning it not to. I threw the note in the dustbin and headed to the cafeteria. Groupism was prevalent here like in any other school. At the entrance sat the populars and behind them the unpopulars. I could feel the populars' eyes boring into me as I walked towards an empty seat. One of them snickered as they saw my clothes. I sighed and sat with the unpopulars. They also ignored me. As I went past the populars' table, I tripped and fell flat on my face. The whole cafeteria was laughing. Another classic stunt. Thank God they didn't do that when I got back with my food.

Another week passed by and I was still ignored. Well, not completely ignored

you know, but called once in a while to be the butt of the populars' jokes.

They 'accidentally' spilt paint on my clothes and threw my books in the

dustbin. When the teacher gave out worksheets, they 'accidentally' tore mine.

And the notes. They never stopped. The one today said, 'Did you pick out

your clothes from the ‘Lost and Found’?

Apart from these 'accidental' occurrence, I was completely ignored. Not a single soul spoke to me. Not even when we were assigned to be partners for a group project. In this way a month passed. Then two. But the notes never stopped. The only thought that ran through my mind when I saw them was who had the time to write them.

One day I came to school extremely

early and hid behind the cupboard in

the class. Enough of waiting. Time to

actually use the tactics taught to me

by Trixie Belden. Someone came into

the class and stopped at my place. I

stiffened. The person was none other

than Josh, one of the populars!

“It is a custom you know, to welcome every new student with these notes. I

too was once a new student. They sent me notes too. I was brave enough to

tell them on their face that I was not affected. That impressed them and

they let me join their gang.” “So all this is just a trick to get into the popular

gang?”

“Hey, Lara.” So he knew my name. “Who you call the populars, were actually

the ones being bullied. Who you call the unpopulars were the bullies. The

people being bullied decided that they had enough, and formed a gang, to

put everybody through the same torture they had faced.” I just walked away

from there.

Our English teacher asked me to submit an original essay on a social problem.

I picked bullying.

“We often think that bullies are insecure, but we do not realize that the bullied

feel insecure too. Sometimes, so insecure that they forget who they

are. They ape the people who they want to be. They become bullies. They

put others through the same torture that they have faced. We are all equal.

We face the same problems. If we all realize this, then no one will be put

through the same torture as me.”

WHY IS THE SEA BLUE?

However dissatisfied with this explanation, Raman decided to investigate on

his own.

The scattering of sunlight by air molecules explains the blue colour of the sky.

Using this phenomenon, Raman proved why the sea is blue.

When white light from the sun is incident on tiny particles, blue light gets

scattered the most and red light the least. This makes both the sea and the

sky appear blue.

Today we also know that water selectively absorbs red light and reflects blue,

thus adding blue appearance.

Raman Effect:

Raman continued to study light

scattered by various liquids and

solids. He found that when coloured

light entered a liquid, some of the

scattered light was of different

colours than the original light. The

colour of the scattered light depended

on the liquid. This discovery is

known as "Raman Effect".

From here, Raman continued his explorations on scattering of light.

Raman was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1930 in Physics for his discoveries.

Erum FathimaB.ed Student

While on a sea voyage in 1921,

C. V. Raman became fascinated by

the sea's stunning blue colour. In the

1870’s the English physicist Rayleigh

had reasoned that the colour of the

sea was just the reflection of the

blue sky.

I experienced a sudden burst of courage as I walked up to him, pulled him by his

collar, and slapped him hard. So hard, that his cheek turned red. “Do you know

what you have put me through? Do you know that I cry myself to sleep

everyday? It is bad enough that I am ignored by everybody. But these notes?

They are the limit” I sobbed. Josh's face turned red. Was Josh, the popular,

actually feeling guilty?

'MASSACRE'

The monotonous ringing of the fire alarm which startled Lisa at first, now

irritated her. There was chaos all around the room, with 'doctors' trying

their best to revive their 'patients'. The room was filled with smoke and the

water sprinklers that had automatically switched on due to the apparent

fire was making the ground all wet and slippery.

Lisa couldn't handle this anymore. The operation was now compromised.

Being the head of the team, she felt like she had failed the mission. She had

no choice. All she could do was to call a professional for help and hope the

task at hand would be completed today. She ran to the telephone to call her

aunt Elizabeth, a retired personnel from this field with expert training and

skills. After the call ended, Lisa ran back to the scene.

As she scanned the room, she assessed the casualities. Due to lack of

organization and constriction of space, everything had gone wrong. Towards

her right lay little ones, all in bits and pieces, beyond repair. It broke her

heart. As she moved on, she noticed that a few of them were drowning in

their own dark red fluid. The scene was so ghastly that she had to turn

away before her insides turned upside down. The red fluid was all over the

floor and she did not even want to imagine what it was. There were 'bodies'

everywhere. She almost lost her faith in the mission when she saw the bigger

ones, the ones she trusted the most, burnt in the fiery box of fire beyond

reckoning. There were stains all over the walls. Just when Lisa was about to

give up, she heard a gasp behind her. It was her Aunt. “My, oh my!”, she

exclaimed. It looked like the scene had taken away the words from her

mouth. After she got her bearings she continued, “What a mess! Look at

what you've done to my kitchen. Switch off those fire alarms. They are very

annoying.” Lisa switched them off immediately. “Ah, that's better.”, she said.

Elizabeth continued, “Oh, look at those cupcakes fallen to the ground and

those jelly filled jelly doughnuts with all its raspberry filling coming out. Look

at all the cranberry sauce you've spilt on the floor. It's surely going to leave a

stain”. Lisa's aunt rattled on about all the mess Lisa and her friends had

made for a few more minutes. After that, she went to the fiery box – the

oven, and opened it.

A huge cloud of smoke rose and as it

cleared, Elizabeth looked into the

oven and said, “Gosh! All of you are

such amateurs. It looks as if an

explosion occurred in here.” There

was no denying that fact. The cake

batter had spilt from the tray and the excess heating had splattered the cake

mix everywhere. We were baking all these goodies for a bake sale to raise

money for charity but till now, nothing looked great. After analyzing

everything at hand, Elizabeth said, “You've got to start all over with those

cupcakes Lisa. Hurry up, I'll help you now”. As Lisa wiped off the dough from

her tiresome looking face, she replied, “Thanks Aunt Elizabeth. This whole

day has just been a massacre – a massacre of all these wonderful

goodies.”

TH70 INDEPENDENCE DAY EDUCATIONAL FIELD TRIP

The Department of Biology organized

an educational field trip to Mysore for

the students of II PU on the th17 of August, 2016. The teachers

organized a visit to CSRTI, a pioneer

research institution in the field of

t r op i ca l s e r i cu l t u re and the

Regional Natural History Museum; a

museum with exhibits of plants,

animals and geology of the southern region of India. Approximately 100

students took part in this memorable event.

The objective of the trip was to improve our scientific knowledge. The visit

to CSRTI proved to be a once in a lifetime learning opportunity. We learnt

that a single cocoon is capable of producing upto 1300 metres of silk thread.

The entire process from acquiring raw material to the production of finished

product was vividly shown. The process of rearing of silk worms, collection

of cocoons, reeling of silk thread, spinning of silk yarn, creation of silk cloth,

dyeing and ironing were shown to us. After the tour, we watched an

informative video describing the entire life cycle of a silk worm, which was

quite informative.

We headed to the Regional Natural

History Museum. This particular visit

proved to be a unique opportunity to

learn about nature through a

judicious mix of models, specimens,

charts and thematic exhibits. The

museum has an impressive gallery with

different sections such as Biological diversity, life through the ages and a

discovery center. Each section held a plethora of knowledge to satisfy our

inquisitive minds. We learnt a lot about the biodiversity of Southern India

and the intricacies of nature's work.

Both the visits succeeded in instilling knowledge in us. Athira KrishnanII PUC S4
