Have you ever \nheard of adrenaline? Well, basically, it's a stress hormone produced by both the \nadrenal gland and a small number of neurons in the medulla oblongata, a part of \nour brain. Adrenaline accelerates the heartbeat and breathing rate and boosts energy \nwhenever the body needs to respond to fear, panic, or perceived threat. It also \ndecreases the ability to feel pain, which is why we often don't feel the pain \nimmediately after getting hurt but only after a while. \nAdrenaline is a very intriguing hormone. It's like a double-edged sword, sometimes \nacting as an optimistic life-saver. For example, a person might be able to lift an \nextremely heavy object to save a friend under the influence of adrenaline, despite not \nbeing able to do so under normal conditions. However, in some cases, adrenaline \ncan overwhelm the body. It can increase the heartbeat and breathing rate to such an \nextent that the body loses control, and a person may die instantly from a heart \nattack or brain freeze, especially individuals over the age of forty-eight who need to \nbe more cautious. Some of these immediate shocks leave lasting impacts, such as a \npermanent aversion towards a particular person or thing, for example, hydrophobia, \ntrypophobia, etc. \nAdrenaline can be managed by taking certain measures. Firstly, it's important to \navoid subjecting your body to unexpected or artificial threats for which it may not \nbe prepared, such as skydiving, horror films, zip-lining, cliff jumping, etc. Even \nseemingly simple things like surprise birthday parties, where everyone suddenly yells \nto surprise someone, can trigger unusual reactions, especially for individuals over the \nage of sixty. Engaging in deep breathing exercises, yoga, meditation, limiting \ncaffeine consumption, maintaining a balanced and healthy diet, regular exercise, and \navoiding sources of artificial light or loud music, especially before bedtime, are some \nother ways to keep adrenaline levels under control.\" \nThe Stress Hormone and the 3 Mantras of Life \n Smriti (12 D)","We should also ensure that we have enough ways to vent out. Talking to your \nfamily or a friend about your stress can help overcome it. \nMost importantly, never underestimate the real importance of sleep, especially \nbefore exams. People generally tend not to understand the significance of sleep. A \nminimum of 8 hours of sleep is essential for individuals of all age groups. A recent \nstudy found that people who have less sleep age faster. Sleep has many more \nbenefits than just resting. Did you know that sleep actually burns calories? Many \npeople actually assume the opposite. Good food, sufficient sleep, and happiness \nare essential for preventing numerous ailments. The future may be filled with \nvarious bodily ailments. To mitigate these risks, rely less on medications and \ndoctors for everything, and take charge of your health by prioritizing good \nnutrition, adequate sleep, and happiness. \nDuring my last vacation, I visited the gorgeous beach in Calicut. While \nplaying in the sky-blue waters, I noticed the waves rising as the sun was \nsetting. I was quite puzzled, so I approached my cousin sister to clear my \ndoubts. She explained a lot about the tides, thus enlightening me. These are \nsome of the facts I learned: \nTides are naturally occurring rises and falls in the level of water in oceans, \nbays, gulfs, and inlets. They are the direct result of the moon's gravitational \npull on earth. The moon's gravity creates two bulges in the earth's oceans: \none on the side facing the moon and a slightly weaker pull on the side of the \nearth facing away from the moon. These bulges cause high tides. Every \nlocation on earth experiences two high tides and two low tides every 24 \nhours.\" \n TIDES - ON A VISIT TO THE BEACH \nJOANNE RANJITH - GRADE 6","If the Earth was a perfect sphere without large continents and if the earth- \nmoon-sun system were in perfect alignment, every place would get two equal \nhigh and low tides every day. \nHowever, the alignment of the moon and sun relative to Earth, the presence \nof the continents, regional geography, and features on the seafloor, among \nother factors, make tidal patterns more complex. \nAstonished by the new information that I acquired, I continued playing on \nthe beach with my family. It was immeasurable joy to feel the beauty of each \nwave to its true sense with the sun setting into the horizon in the background. \nMessi or Ronaldo? \n Pranav.R 4C \nMessi and Cristiano Ronaldo are two of the most famous football players in \nthe world. Both of them have achieved great success in their careers and have \na huge fan following. Messi is from Argentina and plays for Barcelona, while \nRonaldo is from Portugal and plays for Manchester United. \nMessi is known for his incredible dribbling skills and his ability to score goals \nfrom almost any position on the field. He has won numerous awards, \nincluding the Ballon d'Or, which is given to the best player in the world. \nRonaldo, on the other hand, is known for his speed and his powerful shots. \nHe has also won many awards, including the Ballon d'Or. Cristiano Ronaldo \nis known for his powerful shots. He has one of the most powerful strikes in \nworld football. \nIt's difficult to say who is better between the two because they both have \ndifferent playing styles and strengths. However, if I had to choose, I would \nsay that Messi is my favourite player. He has scored more goals than \nRonaldo and has a better point per game average.","Messi's debut for Argentina was one to forget. The youngster came on as a \nsubstitute but his joy was short-lived as he was sent off after just spending 46 \nseconds on the pitch. Right now, he's Argentina's captain. \nHe is nicknamed 'La Pulga Atomica' which means 'The Atomic Flea' due to \nhis fast, deadly, tricky style of play that collaborates with his small size to \nbreak defenders' ankles During his full season in 2002, Messi was the top \nscorer with 36 goals in 30 games. \nIn conclusion, both Messi and Ronaldo are amazing football players who \nhave achieved great success in their careers. However, Messi is the better \nplayer in my opinion because of his incredible skills and his numerous \nachievements. \nAn Unforgettable Memory - 2023 \n\u201cConnect your learning to the real world\u201d \n Mahathi R (5C) \nWe were taken on a field trip to \u201cNilgiri Biosphere Park\u201d which helped us to \nunderstand our learnings in science about plants, animals and their bones. \nThis wonderful experience will always be an unforgettable one for me. \nThis was a long awaited trip. On November 13, I woke up early in the \nmorning and went to school a bit early than the usual time I used report to \nschool. We took our bags with lunch and full of snacks. \nWell, Shanthi Mam and Sundarapandian Sir were our teachers in charge. We \nstarted our journey from the school by 9:00am. We used our school bus to \nreach the Nilgiri Biosphere Park. \nThe time we were traveling together was the part of the trip that we enjoyed a \nlot. Everyone sang songs together until we reached our destination. We even \nshared our real life incidents while munching our snacks.","Each class had a guide who explained us about all the creatures, the \ncreature\u2019s bone, the trees there and their uses. We also learnt a lot of \ninteresting facts. We took some memorable pictures with our friends. \nAfter all these it was the time to have our lunch. All the classmates sat \ntogether in a circle and had our lunch. It was the perfect time and place to \nhave our lunch. \nAfter lunch we returned back to school.I would like to thank our Principal, \nCoordinators and the other teachers who have arranged this trip. \nIt was an unforgettable educational trip In my life. \nEmphasising Diversity in Multiple Sports \nTheja Senthilvel, VII D \nSports has and will forever hold a very significant role in the cultural \ntapestry of our nation. From the traditional games played in our villages to \nthe modern arenas that grace our cities, the evolution of our sports \nlandscape speaks tons about its historical significance and our nation's \npursuit of excellence and hard-work. \nWhen we talk about sports in India, the first sport that comes to all of our \nminds is,no doubt,cricket! Cricket is far beyond popular in our country. \nCricket is the life and breath of India. \nMore the reason why it is not surprising to me that cricket draws in 93% of \nall sports viewers in India! \nMany of us even go so far as to plan our weekend activities, travel plans and \neven jobs according to our cricket team's schedule. \nCricket is deeply ingrained in our culture, and it has a very long history of \nsuccess, with the Indian cricket team consistently ranking among the top \nteams in the world.","This success has helped to cement cricket's position as the most beloved \nsport in India and has made it difficult for other sports to compete for \nattention and resources. \nAs much as we all are fond of cricket, it is important to show the same \nsupport and love to other sports as well. Maybe this is one reason why we \nare not coming anywhere near the top in the Olympics Medal list, though we \nhave the potential for it with the talent available with the large population \nthat our country has got. \nThe lack of infrastructure and funding for other sports is often cited as a \nmajor obstacle to their growth and success in our nation. Various sports \nstruggle to lure the same level of investment and sponsorship as cricket, \nwhich can limit their development and exposure. \nThis is possible only with the joining together of educational institutions that \nnurture the budding sportsmen, Government which provides infrastructure \nfor development and necessary funding for trainers, facilities etc and finally \nCorporates and Government institutions in sponsoring such sportsmen. \nTherefore, efforts are being made to promote and develop other sports in \nIndia with such stakeholders. Our government has launched numerous \ninitiatives to support other sports and to improve their infrastructure, and \nathletes from other sports have also achieved international success and \nbrought attention to their respective sports. \nWhile cricket's dominance in our nation may be a challenge for other sports, \nwith the right support and investment, there is still the potential for other \nsports to grow and thrive in India, which has got a long room to grow and \ndominate in the world.","IS IT REALLY NEEDED ??? \n Harshitha B \nEach day, I ponder if our planet Earth will ever become free of pollution\u2026. \nOn January 22nd, my friends and I had the privilege to attend a workshop \norganized by EFI[Environment Foundation of India ] which turned out to be one \nof the most remarkable events I have ever experienced. The workshop was both \ninformative and engaging, leaving a lasting impression on me. \nAs a part of the activities held at the workshop, we were prompted to name any \ntwo items that do not significantly contribute to our daily routines and have a \nnegative impact on the environment, also posing a threat to wildlife. After \nthorough contemplation, we guessed the items to be balloons and straws.While \nthese items bring us temporary happiness during celebrations and festivals, they \nhave negative environmental impacts that we cannot ignore. \nBalloons, once used, often end up as waste in rivers and other water bodies, \ncausing harm to aquatic animals. This issue is particularly concerning as many \nanimals die due to ingestion or entanglement in balloons. Choosing to avoid \nballoons in our school celebrations and instead opting for more sustainable and \ncreative alternatives will be a welcome move. For example, we can make our own \ndecorations using natural materials like flowers, leaves, and branches. We can \nalso create our own paper balloons or use reusable decorations like cloth \nstreamers or lanterns. These options not only reduce waste but also add a unique \nand personal touch to our celebrations. \nAnother way to celebrate festivals without balloons is to focus on the true \nmeaning and spirit of the occasion. Festivals are often associated with traditions, \nvalues, and beliefs that are important to our culture and community. ","By emphasizing these aspects, we can create a more meaningful and \nfulfilling celebration that does not rely on excessive consumption or \nwaste.Similarly, plastic straws can also be eliminated from our daily \nroutines as they are not strictly necessary for enjoying our drinks. This \nsmall step towards sustainability may seem trivial but it can have a \nsignificant impact when taken collectively by our NGP family. Let us all \ncome together to make a difference and contribute to a cleaner and greener \nenvironment. Let us take an oath to preserve the environment by avoiding \nballoons and plastic straws. \nVirtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR). \n Shamini.G, (VII - A) \nn the vast world of technology, two extraordinary inventions have captivated \nour imaginations and are transforming the way we experience reality: Virtual \nReality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR). These innovative technologies have \nthe power to transport us to new dimensions, offering exciting adventures and \nenhancing our understanding of the world around us. \nVirtual Reality-VR, one of the most popular applications of VR is in the world \nof gaming. Gamers can put on a VR headset and find themselves inside the \ngame, interacting with characters and environments in ways that were once only \npossible in our wildest dreams. Beyond gaming, VR is also used in education, \nallowing students to take virtual field trips or explore complex concepts \nthrough interactive simulations. \nAugmented Reality (AR) has found its way into various aspects of our lives. In \neducation, AR can make textbooks come to life, turning static images into \ninteractive 3D models.

AR also adds an extra layer of fun to activities like \nshopping, where you can try on virtual clothes before making a purchase. \nIn conclusion, Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality are not just \ntechnologies; they are gateways to new worlds and exciting adventures.","Key highlights of the seminar included: \nInteractive Workshops: Participants engaged in hands-on workshops \nand activities designed to deepen their understanding of environmental \nconcepts. These activities were tailored to inspire practical actions that \nindividuals can take in their daily lives to contribute to a healthier \nplanet. \nExpert Panel Discussions: The seminar hosted panel discussions \nfeaturing experts in the field of environmental science, conservation, \nand sustainable development. The discussions explored innovative \nsolutions and strategies to address environmental challenges at both \nlocal and global levels. \nStudent Initiatives: EFI encouraged students to actively participate in \nenvironmental initiatives by initiating projects filled with lots of fun \nwithin the campus (eg. composing their own song related to the current \nsituation of our environment, Dance, Skit, etc).
