Junk Food

Junk food, junk food, it’s every where

But nutrition in it is no where!

Additives, preservatives and saturated fat

Our body needs none of that.

You love to gorge on potato chips,

And then naturally, smack your lips.

But did you know that these have lots of starch?

And to lose all that weight you’ll have to march.

Wafer, cola, pizza and burger

Take your unhealthiness a little further

Apples, pears, carrots and spinach

In front of these, junk food is no match.

So let’s take a vow to stop junk food

Because it does your body no good.

Field trip to Dullapally Forest Reserve

It was the first field trip of the academic year 2010-11. The day was bright, sunny and pleasant and we made our move to the Dullapally Forest Reserve located in the outskirts of the city. It was on 12^th June, 2010 that we had visited the forest reserve and taking the help of the forest authorities, we moved into the forest. We were confident enough to spot wild animals. But, unfortunately we could find none of them. The children were disheartened but, the most interesting part of the trip was we could get benevolent facts regarding the scientific names of the foliage found in the forests, their habitat, their living conditions and other general information. The high school students were guided by the teachers on top of a rock hill which gave us the complete view of the forest. Then it was time for an adventure, Amarnath Sir followed 

by the students of  9^th and 10^th set into the forest and struggled to come out of the dense woods. Then, we assembled at an area and had a hearty meal. At the end of the day, it was time for games and sports. We played the funniest cricket game ever. Each side had 33 players and it was really challenging for batsmen to score the runs. With the dusk, we made our way back home after a remarkable day……………..

Grand Parents

From early in the morning,

Until I go to sleep each day,

I know my grand parents love me,

In a very special way.

Sometimes its toys and chocolates,

Sometimes a walk in the park,

Sometimes its just a hug,

When I am scared in the dark.

Grand Parents and Grand Children,

Together they create a chain of love.

Linking the past,

With the future.

The chain may lengthen,

But it will never part.

Poem on Friendship

Written with a pen, sealed with a kiss,

If you are my friend, please answer this,

Are we friends, or are we not?

You told me once, but I forgot.

So tell me now, And tell me true

So I can say…, I’m here for you

Of all the friends, I’ve ever met

You are the one, I won’t forget

And if I die, before you do

I’ll go to heaven, and wait for you

I’ll give the angel, back her wings

And risk the loss, of everything,

Just to prove that my friendship is true

To have a friend like you……………

Srujitha, Ria, Fariha – VII  A

True friend

Friend gives you smile.

But true friend gives you happiness.

Friend will lie about you.

But true friend won’t tell your weakness.

Friend knives you from back

But true friend will slog your face.

Friend comes when he needs you

But true friend comes when everybody loves you.

Friend comes and leaves

But true friend is yours forever.

Thousands friends come when you’re happy.

But only one true friend comes when you cry.

Many friends will walk in and out of your life.

But only true friend will leave footprints….

About Dad

A great man who spares his life,

Hide his feeling,

Ignore his happiness,

Accepts the pain,

Forgets his comfort,

Struggles at work,

To make us comfortable and be happy

In our life without struggle.

                                                                                          Friendship

Feeling of love + moment of caring + small small sharings + stupid fights + shoulder to cry + to be together in pain = creates a miracle called ‘FRIEND’.

Life is like a chocolate box,

Each box is like a portion of life.

Some are crunchy,

Some are nutty,

Some are soft, but all are delicious.

Teens

Let me breathe, let me release

A little feather of knowledge,

I want in my cap, not a pile

Of books or a sea of marks

Would give me one

A pinch of guidance, a pepper

Of freedom, an ingredient

Of love is what I want

I am a ‘pressure cooked’ teen

Today carving for rationalism

Give me my space, because for

Me life is becoming an endless

Race. I beg you to give my

World back to me, which had

My childhood I want to win.

Love of God

101% from a strictly mathematical view point:

What equals 100?

What does it mean to give more than 100%?

Ever wondered about those people who say they are giving more than 100%?

We have all been in situations where someone wants you to give over 100%......

How about achieving 101%?

What equals 100% in life?

Here’s a small mathematical formula that might help answer these questions :

If A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z are represented as :

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 910 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 and 26.

Then H – A – R – D – W – O – R – K

8 + 1 + 18 + 4 + 23 + 15 + 18 + 11 = 98%.

And

K – N – O – W – L – E – D – G – E

11 + 14 + 15 + 23 + 12 + 5 + 4 + 7 + 5 = 96%.

But

A – T – T – I – T – U – D – E

1 + 20 + 20 + 9 + 20 + 21 + 4 + 5 = 100%.

Then, look how far the love of God will take you

L – O – V – E – O – F – G – O – D

12 + 15 + 22 + 5 + 15 + 6 + 7 + 15 + 4 = 101%

Therefore, one can conclude with certainty that :

While Hard Work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there, It’s the Love of God that will put you over the top!

The Pot's Tale

A poor woman had a copper pot and an earthern pot in her kitchen.  The copper pot was proud of its shine and strength and always looked down on the earthen pot. Once there was a flood in the village. The flood water entered the poor woman’s house.  All the house articles were swept away in the flood. By chance, the two pots floated out together. They soon were being swept away in the swift away, he said, “Why are you there? Come near me. You are made of mud and will not be saved. If you are near men you’ll be safe and protected.” The earthen pot smiled politely and said. “Thank you my friend, but I won’t come near you at all. As you said I am made of mud so I am weak and delicate. If I come near you and a wave hits you then we’ll crash into each other, and I’ll break into many bits. I’d rather be alone and safe. 

Please don’t come near me.”

Moral : Over powerful people often spell trouble.

Pyramids

          Built as tombs for the pharaohs of ancient Egypt, the true pyramid was square at the base and rose steeply to a point, or apex. The triangular outline, as seen in the Great Pyramid of Giza, was significance to the Egyptians it represented the mound upon which the sun god stood when he created the other gods. Thousands of years later, Central American peoples, such as the Maya, also built pyramid – like structures. These were made of stone blocks, and featured straight, steep staircases. They were often topped with a temple.

Inside the Great Pyramid

Made of 2.3 Million limestone blocks, and taking 20 years to build, the Great Pyramid was the oldest of seven wonders of the Ancient world. The uppermost burial chamber contained khufu’s coffin; but the other chambers may be false. Pyramids like this were usually in a large complex.

Universe

An incredible explosion called the Big Bang is believed to have created the universe. Observation of galaxies and heat radiation from space have helped confirm this theory Astronomers are now working to explain exactly what happened from the point of the Big Bang explosion which created everything in today’s universe matter, energy, space and time to the present universe with its galaxies, stars, planets and air.

The universe many end in a Big Crunch if it starts to contact until it is hot and dense once and more. But even this may not mean the end of the Universe.

Black Holes

Astronomers have spent much time analyzing how stars form and how they develop. One problem was to explain what happened to the massive stars at the end of life. In 1967, the term “black hole” was used to describe one type of object that is left when a massive star dies. Four years later, cygns X – 1 was found, the first candidate for a black hole. Space and time are highly distorted inside a black hole. Anyone unlucky enough to fall into one would be stretched to resemble spaghetti as gravity pulled more on the feet than the head. “Isn’t it interesting to know about the universe.!!!
