THIS IS MY FAMILY. JUNK FOOD

This poem is recited for a message to be spread

About the harm in the food that our generations are fed

Most of us refuse to swallow our greens

But we are so disappointed

When we have to buy a bigger size of Jeans.

It is sad that we opt for taste

I think we should realize

What we eat is a total waste.

A burger is easily available and cheap

But we ought to know

The consequences are dangerous and deep.

There is oil, fat, and grease

And the addiction to it

Is really a disease.

Obesity is not some new trend

There are backaches each time young people

bend

Calories are foes in the disguise of a chocolate

friend.

This is an era of Science

The time when we really know

What we should eat and what we must throw.

The sad irony is

Now is the time most of us are ill

But in the battle of tomato and chips

The veggies we will kill.

So go beyond the temptation

And support the beans

We must eat our greens!

Sheen Kaul, IX –B

MISTAKES

My mother is the bestShe knows where everything is

Whether it is east or westMy father is no less

He leaves home at nineAnd he works in a press.

My sister is so cuteShe is very talkative

She never keeps mute.Grandpa loves me a lotHe tells me new stories

I wonder where he was taught.Grandma loves cooking

She makes tasty dishes easilyI can’t help but keep looking.

I am the youngest Yet the smartestI am a bit silly

But I love my family!This is my family

We live very happilyThere isn’t any sign of hate

For dinner no one is ever late!!!Shrey Goel, VI-B

When a writer makes a mistake

It is a new word

When a scientist makes a mitake It is a

new invention

When a teacher makes a mistake

It is ‘fun teaching’

When an artist makes a mistake It is a

new painting

When a cook makes a mistake

It is a new dish

But when a child makes a mistake

He is guilty, he has to pay

Why is that so? It isn’t fair

THE STORY OF OUR FREEDOM

There was a time when we were also rich

We also had gold, silver and platinum to enrich

But someone from somewhere had his evil eye on them

So when Vasco Da Gama found the route

Soon the foreigners began to rule.

It started as a trading company and soon came to be known as the East India

Company

But its greedy thoughts soon increased

We tried to make them friends but they turned out to be enemies

They took away our liberty so that we should live in slavery

But we didn’t despair and decided our country should be repaired

Then were born many great leaders like the Father of the Nation and our

beloved Chacha

Who not only gave us the courage to fi ght them but also the hope to be free

They worked day and night for us to get our rights.

At last when they departed from here, they partitioned India into two

One Pakistan and the other Hindustan

It is so easy to read such things in books

But very diffi cult to feel the pain which those Indians had felt

Thousands of Indians gave their lives and shed their blood for freedom

So that tomorrow we could live in peace and harmony

For us this is like an anecdote

And very easy to put a full stop

But for those who were there

For them it is “THE STORY OF OUR FREEDOM!”

Hiba Siddiqui, X-A

UNIQUENESS OF CHILDREN

Spreading sweetness in tonnes

Of all ages these are the loved ones

The world’s new hope they are

Victory in this universe they will empower.

Flourishing in slums or in new homes

Naughtiness is in their blood and their bones

Blooming like fl owers, happy and colourful

How much they shout! Even then they are beautiful.

Children are stars that twinkle in the sky

When they run by you, you feel a storm occurring nearby

They have tiny hands and tiny feet

They have the courage to dance to any music beat.

Fragrant is their smile, which touches hearts

Breaking communal barriers, this is why they are called

nature’s art

They can make you smile, even in the most dolorous

moment

Time spent with children, you will never repent.

Tarushi Aswani, X-B

LUCK

He worked by day

And toiled by night

He gave up play

And some delight.

Boring books he read

New things to learn

And forge ahead

Success to earn

He plodded on without any fun

And to his focus stuck

And when he won

People called him Luck.

Shivangi Sareen, VI -B

SPREAD HAPPINESS

Time passes, people go

Kindness is what people forget to show

This is where people mostly fall

Because love is what binds us all

Arrogance is all around

But we have all taken birth on the same ground

Think about others as you think about yourself

They will surely be there when you need help

Be happy and spread happiness too

That’s why God sent you

Let people see your golden heart and not the

gold you possess

Money is not the only sign of success.

Pooja Kami, XI

TEARS

A tear can mean a thousand words

that were failed to be expressed.

It often shows loneliness and fear

that could not be suppressed.

It falls down often

a mother’s eye

when her child is hurt

She silently cries

It also wets a dad’s eye

when his little girl is grown up , ready for the goodbye

Some people break, when times are tough

they’re thinking in their head

They’ve had enough

Others sit around and cry alone

when they sit on strange land and think of home

Some weep waiting for a new start

In search of someone who can mend their broken heart

A tear can mean a thousand words

that were failed to be expressed

Anusha Arif, X-A

FRIENDS FOREVER

Sitting in an empty room

As I think about my past

I remember the promises we made

That our friendship will forever last

The times we spent together

Laughing, playing, bunking classes

Chatting during the breaks

Hanging out together wearing our sunglasses

I wish we friends could have stayed together

But all that’s left is memories in photos

Of when we roamed around the city in autos

But I know that we can’t be separated

Because we both are meant to be together

And even though we have only our phone numbers

We will surely remain friends forever.

Shafaq Ihtesham, IX-A

MY BROTHER

My brother’s name is Geet

So my parents decided to call me Meet

He is elder to me by six years

People have nicknamed him ‘Mr. Big Ears’

He used to play cricket for Delhi State

And he is my best mate

Under his captaincy, his team always won

Because in every match he used to hit a ton

To death will I love my brother

Like him, in this world there is no other

He is always there when I am in need

He is a great brother indeed !

Meet Arora, IX-A

MAGIC OF RAIN

Can you even imagine

Our world without rain?

All our efforts to prosper

Would be in vain

Earth would be lifeless

Without the showers

Neither would we get anything to eat

Nor would the gardens have any fl owers.

The wonders of rain are countless

It creates delightful scenery

The Earth becomes cooler

And full of greenery

Birds chirping, peacocks dancing

And children playing in puddles

Paper boats fl oating in water

And rains giving happiness in abundance!

Harneet Kaur, X-A

MY MOTHER

Everyone feels the need of a person

Who is always there for them, come what may

And I’m no exception

I’m just like others but the difference is that

I already have that person in my life, ever since I opened my

eyes

Whenever I’m happy, whenever I’m sad

Whenever I’m supposed to be guided

Whenever it is required for me to differentiate between the

good or the bad

Whenever I want to be taken care of, whenever I feel the need

to be loved

She’s always there

She shelters me in days that are cold

She always hugs me in good times

Her arm catches me if I slip or I fall

Her ear is there for all my problems

With her, my secrets and feelings I share

She’s been with me all through the years (huh! Isn’t that

obvious?)

Whenever I want to shed some tears

Whenever I want to reveal some really embarrassing things I’ve

done

She knows it all

And I take great pride to say, It is my mom.

Mom, you built the confi dence in me

You taught me to always stand by the truth

You taught me to be honest, you taught me to be positive

You taught me to fi ght for my rights

And to live and let live

Whatever I am today

It’s all due to your hard work, patience and affection

I know they say that it’s destined but deep down

I know it’s you..!

Hafsah Masroor, X-A

We, the 2011 Batch of Class X Are!

Time passed by and here we are

49 of us, each one a bright star

Counting down now the last few days

We’ll all choose our different ways

For the last time, let’s look at it all

From chatting, snatching tiffi ns to roaming around

in malls!

The biggest loner of the batch

The sight of him smiling is hard to catch

Yeah, its Varun I’m talking about

Mr. Lonely will reject you with a pout

Now, the exact opposite of Mr. Lonely

Cheerful and fun, been with us for 2 years only

Tayyab is the funny guy, he is not tame

Still he cracks his jokes with no shame

The Queen of Poetry, I’m sure you know who

From where Tarushi gets her words, I’ve got no clue

She is bubbly yet a serious little thing

She’ll often laugh around but will engage in no fl ing

If you hear a giggle during the assembly, don’t be

shocked

It’ll defi nitely be Kritika, who in her own toilet once

got locked!

Gone through a lot, she’s a tough one

For her life is still, “Just for fun!”

She is so skinny yet so cute

Except for when with her gang she stays mute

Sahifa is more about clothes and heels

Walking down a place, every look she steals

With a friendly smile, she’ll give you a Hi5!

The pretty Sakshi will then change it into a sarcastic

snide

Won’t laugh at your joke but will laugh at you

But when you need her she’ll help you too

She is the ‘sister’ of every ‘brother’ you could fi nd

In her friends’ love Kajal is totally blind

You’ll always see her smiling, laughing or having fun

With a lot of warmth, she is our batch’s sun

She’s the Vice Sports Captain, so she’s mostly on the go

Despite being so busy, in friendship Jellybean never falls low

She might not always be there, but is certainly when you need

An all rounder, to comments she pays no heed

If some innocent jokes you want to hear, to Hafsah you should go

With her cute laugh again and again, she speaks kind of slow

Always talking to her friends she never focuses in class

All the girls became back benchers and had a blast

The stylish one with fashion’s latest trends

Tanisha is the one who has many friends

Smiles at everyone that smiles at her

The memory of her with spectacles is now a pretty blur

And here comes the future Punjabi singer!

Abhimanyu produces tabla sounds with a desk and his fi nger

Can make you fall on the ground with his jokes so funny

And he comes and snatches it if he sees any money

You’ll hardly fi nd him sitting in his place

Anuj or Juna (as he’s better known) will search the school for any

danger’s trace

There is more to Juna, than his friends know

The big guy has a great heart that he unwillingly shows

He’ll always be there if trouble you’ve got

But if you touch his hair, his anger you’ve shot

Harman is adorable but the angry young man

For when he’s in trouble he won’t tell you, it’s for you to scan

She’s an artist but, she never shows

During winters, pink Anandi’s nose glows

She’ll silently laugh at jokes while she sits with friends

And very easily out of trouble she bends

With a black muffl er and spectacles she looks very different now

Remaining ever so skinny I don’t know Aliya manages how?

Popular in school, she talks to almost everyone

She doesn’t really think, she just wants to have fun

Another pretty girl in our batch

I wonder where Sophia will fi nd a match?

No matter what she does, her hair falls perfectly

With her silly jokes, she always brings glee

Her loud laugh and winks make her so cute

Unlike Sahifa, she hardly ever stays mute

Areeba is the one-stop entertainment

From where she gets her jokes, I have no hint

Crazy and loud is how people describe her to be

The awesome part of her these people fail to see

Though people comment, Sukhmeet pays no heed

Except for her ‘GANG’, no one else she needs

From far away, she may seem rude

But Simran is the exact opposite dude

She is so caring and so direct

If she doesn’t like what you said, she will react

The “Hitler” of our batch but only in school

At a party, like all of us, even he acts cool

Sarthak is the total responsible type of guy

Relax! At times it’s okay to tell a white lie!

Don’t want to mention what people call him

Anyway, it doesn’t make a difference to him

Akshay is a hard worker, he’ll get his reward

But please, make him a little less formal, lord!

The tall guy who sits at the back of the room

Farhaan, is a guy whom I’ve never seen in gloom

Though he asks a lot of questions which make no sense

P.T. is on his mind forever, so no place for study, hence

Some call him a brother some say we’re just friends

With everyone in a unique way, his relationship Ahmed mends

He’s popular with teachers and juniors as well

It’s because with everyone he knows how to gel

“Can I ask a question?”

Is a question asked everyday?

Then Ashish twists the question in every possible way

He has also got his enactment skills along side this

Which always leave the class in bliss

If Sonika ma’am calls someone, who will it be?

Yeah, of course, who else? Zulfi !

Zulfi qar is the second Mathematics and Physics teacher of the

class

So tell me what is the refractive index of glass?

He won’t let you know if he did something

Milandeep, won’t tell you if he knows anything

He’ll just sit there and enjoy the show

With a partial smile and an extraordinary glow

He was the basketball champion, now he is a party one

Vishnu makes a fi ght fi ercer, just to have fun

Partner of Juna in roaming around

Creates chaos with his group in the ground

No matter who you are, with him you’ll be friends

For anytime you have a problem, his ear Gandhi lends

A football champion, ruined his health

Haven’t you with enough problems dealt?

He is very helpful no doubt about it

But if you make Khanna angry, then you’ve had it

An intelligent guy he will go far

If only he quits anger and uses his brain power

‘Enrique rocks!’ you’ll fi nd this scribbled everywhere she’d go

A tiny little laughing ball, you tickle, she’ll blow

Manleen is small but her personality is big

With a disgusted look she’ll call you ‘Sick’

She’ll make you roll on the fl oor laughing if she’s in the mood

But if she gets angry, don’t you mess with her, dude!

With just one look, Hiba can kill you

And when she comes dressed up, survivors are few

Puts in all her effort in anything she does

Meghna remains quiet, creates no fuss

Laughs a lot when with her friends

She doesn’t give in to any new trend

Silent she remains but does everything

For when Manavta ma’am calls, everything she brings

Sidra is extremely cute, she doesn’t show it

Remains humble, doesn’t blow it



138

From what he was like, he has changed a lot

Becoming more open, many friends he’s got

Ateeb is passionate about Basketball forever

His stares in class make people shiver

The entire year she sat on the last bench

With a novel in her hand she’d clench

You ask Harneet something and she’ll shut you up

But if a problem you’ve got, her hardcore nature she

quickly gives up

If you don’t talk to her much, you’ll falsely believe

she’s silent

But in reality, Tahani is extremely violent

Talented she is, but keeps it all in

Her own creations she throws into the bin

Tired of being compared to his sis

Tufail is the one who always spreads bliss

Always works hard not to let anyone down

With so much on his shoulders, he hardly has a

frown

“No ma’am, it’s going to be this way”, she’ll always

say

Twarit is polite and very caring

But if something is wrong in mathematics, anyday

To oppose she is the most daring

‘Party, Party, Party!’ she’s never going to miss

To her best friend she silently blows a kiss

Dharna can mingle with everyone

She just wants to laugh and have a lot of fun

A musician at heart

From the crowd Simi stands apart

Knows each guitar chord so well

Loves her group but with everyone gels

A mischievous fellow, keeps you in the dark

Ghanisht’s anger gives out a spark

Looks so innocent but he changes the game

‘Golu’ is his new name

It’s diffi cult to make out a word of what he says

Full attention in class he pays

Anupam is the serious one

Mathematics and Physics are his idea of fun

Aims to be a CA one day

Rajat knows it is no child’s play

So what if he doesn’t speak much

‘Actions are louder than words’ I guess he believes such

From the bad guy, he has tremendously changed

If you ever go out with him, he’ll be busy on the phone

Vaibhav is now serious and all for it

This new version has proved to be a big hit!

A psychologist, an artist or what should I be?

The adorable young lady can be anything she wants to be

Some fi nd her freaky, some say, she’s lame

But with everyone Sanjum stays just the same

This young gentleman can’t leave his hair alone

His mom complains, he always stays on the phone

Saqib is the guy who smiles at everyone

But is also the fi rst one, of others to make fun

His jokes, let’s not get there

They go over your head

He never repeats himself; what’s been said is said

Laxman laughs at his own jokes while others stand and stare

He ignores and continues laughing, cause he really doesn’t care

You can’t make out what he’s feeling, going by his straight face

And his jokes, they have no head or base

Akshit or Bhalla as he is known

As a Barbie Girl in the Pinnacle was born

And, now of course, who am I?

The one who to everyone says “hi”

I am the little sister of the entire batch

If I fall, there is always someone to catch

Yeah, you got it, Anusha it is

To my entire batch blowing a fi nal goodbye kiss!

RED CROSS SOCIETY

They wipe tears

Fill hope into the empty

An open door

Healers of hurt

Protectors of handicaps, the

vulnerable

They relieve the wounds, the

affl ictions

They are the warriors

And the peace makers

They comfort, they console, they

cure

The agony of all victims.

And for this, we thank them.

We owe it to them for their constant

Struggle to make this world

A better placeSheen Kaul, IX-B

TEENAGE YEARS...

Teenage life has never been easy

Apart from fashion and peers, there is a lot more to a teen.

Frequently changing boyfriends and girlfriends

During teenage, this is one of the most followed trends.

Oh! On clothes and every famous brand

Each one of us is ready to spend a million grand!

But there are times when we feel lonely and lost

And what we really need does nothing cost.

Just a friendly and appreciative word from a parent or teacher

Isn’t that what it takes to cheer a creature?

To others, we may seem a little weird

But we are too confused with our pimples and beard.

Our feelings, always seem to be on a roller coaster ride

Sometimes fi lled with jealousy and sometimes with pride

One second we’re happy, the other we’re sad

But still it’s the best time we ever had!

MY MOTHER - MY HERO

She gave me life and made it worth living

that’s my mother - kind and giving

She’s my hero; she’s my friend

Always ready with a helping hand to lend

She’s my teacher; she’s like my peer

she’s the one who takes away my fear

Loving me is always her fi rst priority

And all she’s worried about is my security

She’s the best person one can have in one’s life

The best mother, the best daughter and the best wife!

NATIONALISM

Our heroes fi ght for the country’s pride

From day to night, till their last breath they fi ght

With sweat and blood and without the fear of dying

Leaving their family members crying

Fighters leave their motherland

With many memories grand

Soldiers fi ght with enthusiasm and pride

Taking great dangers in their stride

Thanks to them we have an independent nation

So let’s live without sorrow, pain and frustration

I JUST WANT YOU TO BE AROUND

My life is complete

When we meet

Or even talk a word or two

And all the things we do

You are always there

And always do care

About how I am

You encourage me whenever you can

At fi rst, we did not know what to say

How to deal with things happening in our lives

But with you by my side

I just did not want to give up

You are my best friend

And always will be

Even though we are far apart

Maybe in distance, but not at heart

Stay this way

And don’t ever change

Even if no one else is to be found

I just want you to be around

Simran Khubchandani, XI

WHO AM I?

Who am I?

What am I?

I’m the naughty guy.

Who speaks a lot

Many prizes whose got

But still is very shy.

You don’t know me at all

I’m neither handsome, nor tall

But I obey in just a call.

I never let anyone shed a tear

But everyone’s scolding I bear

To hurt anyone I would never dare

My secrets with everyone I do share

I never let anyone cry

But why do they say that everyone’s patience I do try ?

Really, who am I?

Am I the naughty one?

Or the noisy one?

Or the loving one?

Or the caring one?

I don’t know

Neither do you know

The answer to my question

Who am I?

OLD AGE

Those eyes hidden behind wrinkles

Have seen the world much more than you ever will

They aren’t destined to stare at that speckled wall

Their sight, it’s fading away, nothing is visible at all

Those hands that once supported you

Have no power left or work to do

They aren’t meant to die holding sticks

Shouldn’t you have been here? You have some things to fi x.

Those legs that now can hardly walk

Were where you rested your head and would talk and talk

But now, they just rest on a chair

‘Cause now for them no one seems to care

Those eyes shimmer when they see your face

Hands tremble, legs struggle to keep their pace.

They watched from afar

As you became a star

They bloomed in your light

For you, they can still fi ght

But you’re a busy man, you’ve got a life!

Back home you’ve got kids and your wife.

You’re a success! Who cares about those folks?

Above all their happiness, you they chose.

Those tired eyes, hands, legs and smile

In this Old Age Home will fade out after a while.

Anusha Arif, X-A

HEAL THE WORLD

Someone is crying out there

The voice can be heard crystal clear

Someone’s tears are fl owing

Through bad times someone is going

Someone has lost someone dear

Someone is fi lled with fear

The fear of anguish and pain

That might come back again

Someone needs help, someone’s calling

Through the rubble someone is

crawling

Everything we can see and hear

Deep inside our hearts, we do care

So let’s join hands, and listen to our

hearts

Let’s join hands, cause we were

never apart

Let’s come together and heal each

single man

Cause you and I, both know that

we can

Let’s help those in need

Let’s do another good deed

Another day may not be there

So let’s do it, as long as we’re here

We can’t do great things, but we can

do enough

Let’s do small things, but with great

love

Even a smile can heal the pain

Let’s make the efforts, they won’t go

in vain

Let’s do it, with a big grin

’cause each man, has the same heart

within

Let’s leave all the hatred behind

Lets be a little more kind

Let’s be the change we want to see

It all starts with you and me

So let’s remove every reason

causing a tear

And pray to God high up there

Pray that there remains no more

sorrow

Raise hands and pray for a better

tomorrow!
