Raindrops are the perfect lullaby for a restless soul. Lavanya S., VIII B, 2024 Artwork on cover page: Sabhya Arora, XII F, 2024

Editor's Note Saludos, queridos lectores The pitter-patter of raindrops on rooftops, the earthy aroma of wet soil, and the cozy moments spent with a hot cup of tea - these are just a few of the cherished memories that the monsoon brings. I extend my sincerest gratitude to those whose creativity gave form to this edition through which the intangible can be felt, the unseen envisioned, and the unheard harmonized. \"And the rain was parading as if heaven was waiting,\" the poetic melodies echo, as if inviting us to witness the magical dance of water and earth. Within these pages, time slows, and petrichor mingles with the ink of our words. The rain, with its ceaseless cadence, whispers to us of transformation and renewal, a reminder that even \"when you're young, you run, but you come back to what you need.\" The monsoon, with its rejuvenating showers, serves as a reminder of the importance of renewal, growth, and embracing change. Just as the rain quenches the earth's thirst, our creative endeavors aim to nourish mind and soul. May you find solace in the spaces between words, clarity in the midst of ambiguity, and inspiration as boundless as the rain that nurtures the earth. Let the stories transport you to rain-soaked streets, let the poems evoke the scent of wet leaves, and let the images paint vivid landscapes in your mind. Ashwika Amit

Millions long for immortality who don’t know what to do with themselves on a rainy Sunday afternoon. – Susan Ertz Shreya Jain, IX F, 2024

Principal's Message We embarked upon the new academic session with enthusiasm and a commitment to uphold excellence in education. Structural changes in line with NEP have been successfully incorporated to enhance holistic development, intellectual curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking skills. Our students' dedication and hard work yielded remarkable results in the CBSE Class XII and X Board examinations. Many students aced the JEE and NEET and also secured coveted positions in prestigious institutions like the IITs and renowned medical colleges. Their exceptional performance is a testament to the collective effort of our dedicated educators, supportive parents, and of course, the relentless determination of our students. Our school continues to host various inter -school fests that foster healthy competition and provide a platform for our students to showcase their talents beyond the classroom.Let's continue to work together to create an environment that nurtures curiosity, fosters creativity, and encourages collaboration. Our aim is to shape well- rounded individuals who are not only academically adept but also compassionate global citizens. in the midst of the magical monsoon, the rains give us hope and hydrate our lives with joyous wonder. May the ethereal clouds above, laden with an invigorating downpour or a tranquilising drizzle, lend freshness and spirit to all our endeavours. Warm regards, Dr. Deepak Raj Singh Bisht

Rain The slight, pleasant breeze of air, And the sweet sound of drops of rain, Children dancing everywhere, And the raindrops running down the window pane. The sweet smell of petrichor, And the raindrops’ rhythm and beat, It’s all just so magical, colorful umbrellas all over the streets. Is the rain a shower of blessings from God? Or, a way to get the world going? Is it a message of unity and bond? Or, a way to get the rivers flowing? Rain never differentiates between land or water nor between any country. Rain never sees any borders, and pours selflessly. It just goes wherever people are in need, And never sees anyone’s glories. It’s the human deeds, that converts it into a fury. Yet, it is the is the most awaited season whether it is child, youth or old, it is the celebration of every region, it is way more precious than gold. Pragya Dehal, VIII A

Monsoon Glistening drops falling on trees, frogs and peacocks put at ease. Elegant peacocks dance with grace, upon which all fix their gaze. Misty clouds hovering above the lands, intercepting sunlight which they withstand. Dazzling colours of a rainbow shine, all in unison together in line. A bliss for cultivators of rice, eagerly waiting patient and wise. Thirsty beings take a sip from a pond, eternal is the Earth and rain's bond. Worms in large numbers teem out, The Monsoon has come, there is no doubt! Sajid Hasan, X A

My Class! My class is the best, It is nothing like the rest. We have artists, singers, and toppers,  As well as naughty backbenchers. We are always in a group like a flock of pigeons And together we rule our region. My class is the best It is nothing like the rest. Our work is neat and clean And when there is mischief, we are nowhere to be seen. My class is the best It is nothing like the rest. We submit our work on time, And participate in activities of singing, dancing or mime. Atharv Kavadia, VII A

Reminders Of The Rain The rain reminds me to be myself, As beauty lies in it. It tells me how pretty it might be to be a mess, And with others I shall not try to fit. It reminds me that it's ok to cry, For the pain to go away. Like when the clouds cry, On the land left all dry, With beautiful fragrance and flowers it sways. It reminds me to be positive Like the rays of the sun on a rainy day. As a rainbow can be seen only at the right time, And that's when the colourful band in your sky will shine. It reminds me of the couple from my window I see, Dancing in the middle of the road, young and free. It reminds me to not care about what others say, Their opinions of me should be destroyed like a castle made of clay. It reminds me of a child rowing paper boats in puddles And if it tears, with his parents he cuddles. It reminds me to care about those in my life As they're the ones around me to always hype. The rain reminds me to live with liberty Like a butterfly, I should feel free. What I do should make me happy, And not allow others to make me feel crappy. Aadya Singh, IX A

A li'l serving of French, please... LA FOURMI ET LA SAUTERELLE C'est une histoire d'un temps quand il y avait beaucoup de famines. Il y avait une fourmi travailleuse et une sauterelle qui était un peut intelligente et qui aimait amuser la vie. Un été, quand la sauterelle jouait et s'amusait avec ses amis, elle a vu la fourmi retrouvait de la nourriture pour les hivers. Elle était travailleuse et a suggéré à la sauterelle de travailler ❄dur pendant les étés donc il a pu amuser pendant les hivers . Elle a fait les deux choses, elle a collecté assez de nourriture pour l'hiver et aussi amusait pendant le même temps alors la fourmi travaillait dur et elle n'avait pas assez de temps pour la jouissance. Elle était d'avis que si elle travaillait dur pendant l'été, elle s'amusait pendant l'hiver. Mais, quand l'hiver est arrivé, il y avait une inondation et malheureusement, la fourmi est tombée malade et bientôt elle est morte et toute la nourriture qu'elle a ramassé pour l'hiver a été gaspiller et elle ne pouvait pas amuser les temps heureux de l'hiver. Morale: Nous devons aussi amuser pendant nous travaillons. \"Tout le travail et pas de jeu fait de Jack un garçon ennuyeux.\" Anahita Dua, X F

स्वास्थ्य और पोषण एक समय की बात थी, सुनो कान लगाकर एक था पोषण एक था स्वास्थ्य दोनों दोस्त थे पक्के । धीरे-धीरे दिखने लगा, एक अनोखा बदलाव, उनके स्कू ल में पढ़ता था कु पोषण हो रहा था पतला, एक बदमाश बच्चा और वह दोनों बलवान। नाम था उसका कु पोषण किस्सा है यह सच्चा। फिर एक दिन ऐसा आया, दोनों हो गए हट्टे-कट्टे, रोज-रोज बनाता था वह , एक ही मिनट में छु ड़ा दिए, उन दोनों की चटनी, दुष्ट कु पोषण के छक्के । रोते-रोते दोनों कहते, हाय पापा! हाय मम्मी! स्वास्थ्य और पोषण ने सीखा, एक अनमोल मंत्र, उन्हें लगता था कि कभी, फल दूध और सब्जी ही, ना हो पाएंगे वह बलवान, सेहत के नए तंत्र। उधर कु पोषण हंसते-हंसते, खाता था तेलू पकवान। उधर स्वास्थ्य और पोषण खाते, सृष्टि कु शवाहा, VII A फल, सब्जी, दूध, मलाई।

घर की टूटी-फू टी दीवार हो गया हूँ न सुन पाता हूँ, न बोल पाता हूँ, चलने में अक्सर लड़खड़ाता हूँ। हर किसी के दिल से दर - किनार हो गया हूँ। घर की टूटी- फू टी दीवार हो गया हूँ। न कोई कीमत मेरी, न दर्जा मेरा, उड़ गया परिंदा, छोड़ कर बसेरा, बेजान चीज़ों को अपनाकर मालदार हो गयाहूँ। घर की टूटी-फू टी दीवार हो गया हूँ। मोहताज भरी ज़िन्दगी जीने लगा हूँ, मिले हैं जो ज़ख़्म उन्हें सीने लगा हूँ। अपनी ही बदहाली का शिकार हो गया हूँ। घर की टूटी-फू टी दीवार हो गया हूँ। कहता है, वृद्ध आश्रम छोड़ आएगा, फ़ु र्सत नहीं है, क्या ख़िदमत कर पाएगा। नई पीढ़ी के आगे लाचार हो गयाहूँ ।। घर की टूटी-फू टी दीवार हो गया हूँ। घर की टूटी-फू टी दीवार हो गया हूँ। खुशी सिंह , VII D

Dragon and Flip Flap’s Day Out Once upon a time, there were two friends named Dragon and Flip flap. Dragon was a dragonfly, and Flip flap was a butterfly. They loved going on adventures together. One day, they decided to go on an adventure to the nearby pond. On the way, a friendly honeybee named Bumble also joined them. They continued their journey, sharing stories and laughter along the way. When they reached the pond, Dragon told them that his friend Denny, another dragonfly, lived there. They found Denny flying around, and the four friends had a wonderful time together. On their way back, they came across a garden that looked sad and messy. They decided to help clean it up. As they worked, other children saw them and joined in. With everyone's effort, the garden became beautiful again. The four friends felt happy and proud of what they had accomplished.
