 This question comes to great reference for me with the books that I’ve dealt with. From my 16 years of life’s experience, little did I learn, from the little books which I have read. I read books of different flavours; adventure, villainy, tragedies, romance, mysterious......   “You are sharing the Dark Lord’s thoughts and emotions. The Headmaster thinks it inadvisable for to continue. He wishes me to teach you how to close your mind to the Dark Lord. Who can forget these infectious statements of Sirius to the great wizard Harry Potter? When a hunt is called off, how can you sit erect and blend with your daily chores, when you hear the constant thumb of your unstable heart? Can you quench the thirst of my soulless dead mind? If you can then you will be with one of my favourites along my Harry Potter in my chambers...   A disturbed mind may not find peace among some pitying discipline but among the classics of some masters.  Having an adults att...

It was on the midnight of August 14 (15),1947 the shackles of slavery were unlocked and India spread her wings. From there we started our flight of freedom. Once again independence day has come reminding us about the last 72 years of challenging voyage. Amidst the flood and recent havoc in Kerala, Independence Day has a significant message for us. At the time of independence, Jawaharlal Nehru said, "The achievements we celebrate today is but a step, an opening of opportunity, to the greater triumphs and achievements that await us. Are we brave enough and wise enough to grasp this opportunity and accept the challenge of the future? " Which means freedom and power brings responsibility. As a free Nation our responsibilities had to be shouldered by ourselves. The real meaning of freedom is fulfilled only when we are able to stand on our own. Tireless and united endeavour is always essential all the time. Through the continuous efforts and efficient...

In all ears the echo beats persistently. It was the silent cry of hills that turned a mere player in nature's furious hands.The thirsty Thursday took half a hundred to it's heart.We are still to find forty of our beloved ones. When a day of Id dawned, there was grief and pain for some, shock and gratitude for yet others. It turned a day of little joy showing no boundaries. Onam is ahead of us. It is time to recollect Onam was a day of joy for all.We get the real essence of it, unless it becomes the joy for poor and the miserable. It becomes a reality when we see ourselves equal. Until we lend ears for humanity no day will embrace us again. Jeava Maria Joseph, XII C

Life has so many exams. Sometimes we fail in it and some other time we win it. Most of us fail in the exams of life, because we try to copy others, not realising that everyone has different question papers. We all have the potential to reach somewhere as someone. But we lose the marathon of life. So we need to rise up from the ashes of failures like a phoenix. The best way to overcome anything in our life is a smile on our face. It is not an easy task to have a smile on our face whole time. It has a great power to heal the wounds of the mind. It helps us to forget our sorrows. If we come across anything with a smiling face, then hurdles will never be a hindrance. Smiling pacifies our mind. So be pleasant at all time. Think about the memorable moments in our life. And never allow our tears and sorrows to rule us. Keep balance all the time. Work hard, have faith in God and try to understand the feelings of others. Remember that every successful man has a painful story and ev...
