A PLEA FOR INDIANS
ABANDONED
We, Indians are proud to be a strong nation, Our roots, we declare, cannot be shaken. then why these fights, which leave us in poor plight? irrespective on our region, forget the castes, which make us lose or charm, let’s ignore the selfish call of each region, and listen for once to the call of the nation, why do we spend our time bickering? when so many tasks need finishing. Don’t we have better things to do? Than indulge in creating problems anew? Is all this violence needed? with the people being cheated! Who will return this only son? Whom she love a ton, Who will bring back his brother? Whose ashes he is still to gather. where has all the love gond?
Abandoned to the garbage bin, with mosquitoes and insects eating its tiny fingers away, little baby crying for help as foul smells make its play, irradiating from disposed bacteria. Unheard shrieks of the baby’s hysteria die in eerie silence of the night, “An outcast of destiny Its labored breath racing in quick gasps forced lonely like crap with cyanosed lips sea-blue nose and finger-tips, Its tattered and torn dirty wrap make it shiver in freezing grasp. A filthy black cat edges on to the holed bin searching for easy rats and finds its food tearing at the babe’s hair with their sharp teeth gnawing at its ears to complete their feed, As the cat jumps in with a screeching meow the rats let loose a clicking squeak A bloody chaos ensues, The only sin of the infantBEING BORN.
Which resided in the heart of all, there is no reason to be proud,and be on high cloud, we have to go a long way, we have to think seriously, Else we end up miserably, then let our minds throw out the rot, And devote out time to pious thoughts, Let us control the riots, which leave us with no choice, But to hang our heads in shame, And say we have miserably failed, We have the power to win, So why not end this din, Let us unite, And fight against those who incite, Let us not be misled, By those who want to see us dead, we are a strong united nation All we needs is a bit of dedication. - Abhishek

THE GARDEN WITHIN There is a garden in my heart where beauty grows in fits and starts. Where smiles are petals from the flowers bestowed by others from their bowers. Nutritious hope reaps seeds to feed my spirit for its every need. With gratitude I’ll reach my goal. To touch the island of my soul. by Celia Berrell - Abraham
GOLDEN RULES from Swami Vivekananda
“ Who is Helping You, Don’t Forget them. Who is Loving you, Don’t Hate them . Who is Believing you, Don’t Cheat them.”
FAMILY OF SENTENCE
THE FROG AND THE BIRD
A noun is the name of a thing A school, garden , kite or a king An Adjective describes the king of noun As great, small, pretty, yellow or brown.
By a quiet little stream on an old mossy log; Looking very forlorn, sat a little green frog; He'd a sleek speckled back, and two bright yellow eyes, And when dining, selected the choicest of flies. The sun was so hot, he scarce opened his eyes, Far too lazy to stir, let alone watch for flies, He was nodding, and nodding, and almost asleep, When a voice in the branches chirped, 'Froggie, cheep, cheep!' 'You'd better take care,' piped the bird to the frog, 'In the water you'll be if you fall off that log. Can't you see that the streamlet is up to the brim?' Croaked the froggie, 'What odds! You forget I can swim!' Then the froggie looked up at the bird perched so high On a bough that to him seemed to reach to the sky; So he croaked to the bird: 'If you fall you will die!' Chirped the birdie, 'What odds! You forget I can fly!'
In place of noun: pronouns stand His head, her face, my arms and your hand. A verb tells something being done, To see, jump, play, laugh or run How things are done the adverb tells, As slowly, quickly, wisely, ill or well. Then preposition stands before, A noun as in a through a door. The interjection shows surprise, As how pretty or how wise! These little words you often use, An, a, and, the, they, are not huge; All these are called parts of speech, When you read, write, speak or teach - Akash .V
Tongue Twisters I saw Susie sitting in a shoe shine shop. Where she sits she shines, and where she shines she sits. How many boards Could the Mongols hoard If the Mongol hordes got bored? How can a clam cram in a clean cream can? Send toast to ten tense stout saints’ ten tall tents. Denise sees the fleece, Denise sees the fleas. At least Denise could sneeze and feed and freeze the fleas. Coy knows pseudonoise codes. Sheena leads, Sheila needs. The thirty-three thieves thought that they thrilled the throne throughout Thursday.

Tongue Twisters Something in a thirty-acre thermal thicket of thorns and thistles thumped and thundered threatening the three-D thoughts of Matthew the thug - although, theatrically, it was only the thirteen-thousand thistles and thorns through the underneath of his thigh that the thirty year old thug thought of that morning.

FULL FATHOM FIVE
DREAM WITHIN A DREAM
Full fathom five thy father lies; Of his bones are coral made; Those are pearls that were his eyes: Nothing of him that doth fade But doth suffer a sea-change Into something rich and strange. Sea-nymphs hourly ring his knell: Ding-dong. Hark! now I hear them,--ding-dong, bell. - Alekhya
A RED RED ROSE O my Luve's like a red, red rose That's newly sprung in June; O my Luve's like the melodie That's sweetly play'd in tune. As fair art thou, my bonnie lass, So deep in luve am I: And I will luve thee still, my dear, Till a' the seas gang dry: Till a' the seas gang dry, my dear, And the rocks melt wi' the sun: I will luve thee still, my dear, While the sands o' life shall run. And fare thee well, my only Luve And fare thee well, a while! And I will come again, my Luve, Tho' it were ten thousand mile.
- K. Bhargavi
Take this kiss upon the brow! And, in parting from you now, Thus much let me avowYou are not wrong, who deem That my days have been a dream; Yet if hope has flown away In a night, or in a day, In a vision, or in none, Is it therefore the less gone? All that we see or seem Is but a dream within a dream. I stand amid the roar Of a surf-tormented shore, And I hold within my hand Grains of the golden sandHow few! yet how they creep Through my fingers to the deep, While I weep- while I weep! O God! can I not grasp Them with a tighter clasp? O God! can I not save One from the pitiless wave? Is all that we see or seem But a dream within a dream?

A DOG IS A DOG.
AND WHAT IS LOVE? IT IS A DOLL DRESSED UP
Now dogs pretend they like to fight; They often bark, more seldom bite; But yet a Dog is, on the whole, What you would call a simple soul. Of course I'm not including Pekes, And such fantastic canine freaks. The usual Dog about the Town Is much inclined to play the clown And far from showing too much pride Is frequently undignified. He's very easily taken inJust chuck him underneath the chin Or slap his back or shake his paw, And he will gambol and guffaw. He's such an easy-going lout, He'll answer any hail or shout. Again I must remind you that A Dog's a Dog - A CAT'S A CAT.
- Bindu
And what is love? It is a doll dressed up For idleness to coset, nurse, and dandle; A thing of soft misnomers, so divine That silly youth don’t think to make itself Divine by loving, and so goes on Yawning and doting a whole summer long, Till Miss's comb is made a perfect tiara, And common Wellingtons turn Romeo boots; Till Cleopatra lives at Number Seven, And Antony resides in Brunswick Square. Fools! if some passions high have warmed the world, If queens and soldiers have played deep for hearts, It is no reason why such agonies Should be more common than the growth of weeds. Fools! make me whole again that weighty pearl The queen of Egypt melted, and I'll say That ye may love in spite of beaver hats.
FIREWORKS BANG! There goes another one, Screaming as it goes. It's getting high, Up in the sky, And fizzle - there she blows! WHOOSH! Up high above the house, Behind a trail of sparks. Yellow, orange, Red and white, Exploding in the dark!

“Relationships are more important than life , but it is important for those relationships to have life in them….”
I'M LATE FOR SCHOOL I got up late for school today, And nearly missed the bus! I hurried down the stairs, Wolfed my toast, and caused a fuss! I quickly threw books in my bag, My pens, my lunch and shorts. Grabbed my coat from out the cupboard, Took my bat and ball for sports. I slid across the kitchen floor, And hopped around the cat! Then expertly rolled over, Jumped back up and grabbed my hat! I belted out of our front door, Spun round and swung it shut. Saw the bus was waiting for me, I felt I had time to strut! I climbed aboard and then froze still, And knew that things weren't right! My friends fell down in fits of fun, And pointed with delight! My face went red, I couldn't breathe, For in my haste I knew! I'd forgotten to wear trousers, Jumper, shirt, my socks and shoes!
BE GLAD YOUR NOSE IS ON YOUR FACE Be glad your nose is on your face, not pasted on some other place, for if it were where it is not, you might dislike your nose a lot. Imagine if your precious nose were sandwiched in between your toes, that clearly would not be a treat, for you'd be forced to smell your feet. Your nose would be a source of dread were it attached atop your head, it soon would drive you to despair, forever tickled by your hair. Within your ear, your nose would be an absolute catastrophe, for when you were obliged to sneeze, your brain would rattle from the breeze. Your nose, instead, through thick and thin, remains between your eyes and chin, not pasted on some other place-be glad your nose is on your face!

WONDER
THE GHOST
Wonder, A garden among the flames!
"Boo", said the ghost, But it really didn't scare, 'Cause I couldn't take my eyes, Off his vivid ginger hair.
My heart can take on any form: A meadow for gazelles, A cloister for monks, For the idols, sacred ground, Ka'ba for the circling pilgrim, The tables of the Torah, The scrolls of the Quran.
It's really not the same, If head to toe's not white. Well, it isn't going to work, When they try to spook and fright.
My creed is Love; Wherever its caravan turns along the way, That is my belief, My faith.
-Chakravarthi
But he tried and he tried, Even though the cause was lost. And he even sprayed it silver, Like a pumpkin tinged with frost. But I suppose I shouldn't laugh, As he puffs and sighs and moans. So I told him what to do... ...a white wig he now owns! - Likitha
DREAM DEFERRED
WHY HE WAS THERE
What happens to a dream deferred?
Much as he left it when he went from us Here was the room again where he had been So long that something oh him should be seen, Or felt-and so it was. Incredulous, I turned about, loath to be greeted thus, And there he was in his old chair, serene As ever, and as laconic as lean As when he lived, and as cadaverous.
Does it dry up Like a raisin in the sun? Or fester like a sore-And then run? Does it stink like rotten meat? Or crust and sugar over-like a syrupy sweet?
Calm as he was of old when we were young, He sat there gazing at the pallid flame Before him. 'And how far will this go on?' I thought. He felt the failure of my tongue, And smiled: 'I was not here until you came; And I shall not be here when you are gone.'
Maybe it just sags like a heavy load. Or does it explode?

LIFE IS FINE
A CIRCLE
I went down to the river, I set down on the bank. I tried to think but couldn't, So I jumped in and sank.
The earth we live is a circle. Hot hot sun is a circle. The cool moon is a circle. Delicious orange is a circle. Bangles we wear too is a circle. Hey‌The ball we play is also a circle. Children! Now We all know What a circle is!
I came up once and hollered! I came up twice and cried! If that water hadn't a-been so cold I might've sunk and died.
-Sai Srinija
But it was Cold in that water! It was cold! I took the elevator Sixteen floors above the ground. I thought about my baby And thought I would jump down.
A Song From 'The Player Queen My mother dandled me and sang, 'How young it is, how young!' And made a golden cradle That on a willow swung.
I stood there and I hollered! I stood there and I cried! If it hadn't a-been so high I might've jumped and died. But it was High up there! It was high!
'He went away,' my mother sang, 'When I was brought to bed,' And all the while her needle pulled The gold and silver thread.
So since I'm still here living', I guess I will live on. I could've died for love-But for living' I was born
She pulled the thread and bit the thread And made a golden gown, And wept because she had dreamt that I Was born to wear a crown.
Though you may hear me holler, And you may see me cry-I'll be dogged, sweet baby, If you gonna see me die.
'When she was got,' my mother sang, I heard a sea-mew cry, And saw a flake of the yellow foam That dropped upon my thigh.'
Life is fine!
How therefore could she help but braid The gold into my hair, And dream that I should carry The golden top of care?

DADDY You do not do, you do not do Any more, black shoe In which I have lived like a foot For thirty years, poor and white, Barely daring to breathe or Achoo. Daddy, I have had to kill you. You died before I had time-Marble-heavy, a bag full of God, Ghastly statue with one gray toe Big as a Frisco seal And a head in the freakish Atlantic Where it pours bean green over blue In the waters off beautiful Nauset. I used to pray to recover you. Ach, du. In the German tongue, in the Polish town Scraped flat by the roller Of wars, wars, wars. But the name of the town is common. My Polack friend Says there are a dozen or two. So I never could tell where you Put your foot, your root, I never could talk to you. The tongue stuck in my jaw. It stuck in a barb wire snare. Ich, ich, ich, ich, I could hardly speak. I thought every German was you. And the language obscene An engine, an engine Chuffing me off like a Jew. A Jew to Dachau, Auschwitz, Belsen. I began to talk like a Jew. I think I may well be a Jew. The snows of the Tyrol, the clear beer of Vienna Are not very pure or true. With my gipsy ancestress and my weird luck And my Taroc pack and my Taroc pack I may be a bit of a Jew.
I have always been scared of you, With your Luftwaffe, your gobbledygook. And your neat mustache And your Aryan eye, bright blue. Panzer-man, panzer-man, O You-Not God but a swastika So black no sky could squeak through. Every woman adores a Fascist, The boot in the face, the brute Brute heart of a brute like you. You stand at the blackboard, daddy, In the picture I have of you, A cleft in your chin instead of your foot But no less a devil for that, no not Any less the black man who Bit my pretty red heart in two. I was ten when they buried you. At twenty I tried to die And get back, back, back to you. I thought even the bones would do. But they pulled me out of the sack, And they stuck me together with glue. And then I knew what to do. I made a model of you, A man in black with a Meinkampf look And a love of the rack and the screw. And I said I do, I do. So daddy, I'm finally through. The black telephone's off at the root, The voices just can't worm through. If I've killed one man, I've killed two-The vampire who said he was you And drank my blood for a year, Seven years, if you want to know. Daddy, you can lie back now. There's a stake in your fat black heart And the villagers never liked you. They are dancing and stamping on you. They always knew it was you. Daddy, daddy, you bastard, I'm through.

DADDY, DADDY, I CAN'T GO TO SCHOOL daddy, daddy, I can't go to school why darling, what's wrong with you?
and just as you say my face is as fresh as the rose outside my room and my eyes glow like New Year sparklers: so what are you waiting for, daddy? put on your shoes get your car keys and let's GO!
-Siddhartha I've got a runny nose, daddy can't you see? and my cheeks are blue I just think I've got the flu but sweetheart, you look as fresh as the rose outside your room; and darling your eyes glow like sparklers in New Year but daddy, daddy hear me carefully: my voice is hoarse; don't you think I sound like granny? oh, OK darling you don't have to go to school; though, today is the day we stop for pancakes before school and we stop for doughnuts after; but that's all fine if you're sick just stay at home and you can't have either but daddy, daddy I CAN go to school; see my nose 's fixed itself now and my voice is again as clear as the school bell;
A FEEL TO HEAL One garment of soul, where dirt not at all Around month of fall, there hurt not at all The fields of summer, a tribute to sunlight The shields of winter, attribute moonlight The gloom of nights, inspires to new start The bloom of lights, respires to dews part Doors of the dreams, knocked their knobs Tours of the screams, cropped their crops The eyes speechless, have much to speak The smiles switch less, gave much to weak Pearls of nature shine, radiant hearts heal Curls of stature incline, salient arts to feel Desert-sand so warm, caring a mirage eve Green-land so charm, staring by age leave The regrets of hives, are lowered from rips The secrets of lives, are powered from lips Fortunes of the joys, are knocking on gates More tunes of sorrows, are locking in fates The priceless emotions, bargain for a smile The wise legs of motions, try again for mile The dominant probes, peep out from truth The prominent hopes, creep out for youth Indefinite decisions, disclose the delusions And finite reasons, awake with no illusions

COAL-TRUCK
MY BROTHER STILL RUNS LIKE RAIN
I am a coal-truck Carrying gold dust. Someone threw some Coal-dust upon My gold-dust.
My brother’s bones and kidneys must be walking somewhere now, transplanted into other men, perhaps in steady rain the hour before the sunrise.
I am a coal-truck In a gold mine. Someone struck a coal vein And piled me full in vain.
Each raindrop holds the water molecules of former living things, now decomposed, transformed to ice and steam, then cloud.
I am a coal-truck Covered in subterranean dust. Someone shovelled my soil And found an ancient bone All coiled.
Soon former raindrops walk the city streets, soon future raindrops step between the fallen branches, over muddy cracks. Raindrops somewhere in the world once formed my brother’s water base, and Pascal’s, too, centuries past.
I am a coal-truck Waiting for the rain. The sun is my rail The night my shed.
And yet this rain is not the same as them, insensate liquid fall, just bounce and pool, cover, spread, run in rivers at the curb
I am a coal-truck Rumbling all the way. Wash me in the rain-storm And fill me full of coke Until I choke.
like my brother used to run at dawn, bare-chested, under buds of water clinging to the limbs of leafless trees,

WHAT IS LIFE? Resembles Life what once was held of Light, Too ample in itself for human sight? An absolute Self an element ungrounded All, that we see, all colors of all shade By encroach of darkness made? Is very life by consciousness unbounded? And all the thoughts, pains, joys of mortal breath, A war-embrace of wrestling Life and Death? -Barath reddy

LONELY I wandered lonely as a cloud That floats on high o'er vales and hills, When all at once I saw a crowd, A host, of golden daffodils; Beside the lake, beneath the trees, Fluttering and dancing in the breeze. Continuous as the stars that shine And twinkle on the milky way, They stretched in never-ending line Along the margin of a bay: Ten thousand saw I at a glance, Tossing their heads in sprightly dance. The waves beside them danced, but they Out-did the sparkling leaves in glee; A poet could not be but gay, In such a jocund company! I gazed—and gazed—but little thought What wealth the show to me had brought: For oft, when on my couch I lie In vacant or in pensive mood, They flash upon that inward eye Which is the bliss of solitude; And then my heart with pleasure fills, And dances with the daffodils.

Am I becoming someone your stranger too? Making you wonder, has it brought a better you? From new understandings, that time has handed. Fall in line, God has too have planned this? Hoping you manage, but yet some go.... Guess you first have to be a fan of your own. Until own every stable thought you been up on. Causing your glow to grow in December snow! While streets shadows start to show. Where's Angel Grove? A child hoods own depiction of a character of two parents wedded in Africa? ! Power from ranging far from haters that's filled with laughter, For thinking you couldn't catch ever thought your imaginations after? Yet you became the master of a tactic, to be able to see those same ones claiming all your dreams as frantic own LIFE.....sinking like Titanic! ! For paying attention to 'YOUR LIFE' so much their own is passing by. When you talk to me, LOOK IN MY EYES! So I may see BEYOND THE BLINDS of your make-up! ! ! Cause what's real is not the blemishes but where it takes us! ! Learn to be a taker.....of every problem that came. Walk out with positive gains & do more then just maintain! -Sai Sangeeth

A CHARACTER
I went down to the river, I set down on the bank. I tried to think but couldn't, So I jumped in and sank. I came up once and hollered! I came up twice and cried! If that water hadn't a-been so cold I might've sunk and died. But it was Cold in that water! It was cold! I took the elevator Sixteen floors above the ground. I thought about my baby And thought I would jump down. I stood there and I hollered! I stood there and I cried! If it hadn't a-been so high I might've jumped and died. But it was High up there! It was high! So since I'm still here living', I guess I will live on. I could've died for love-But for living' I was born Though you may hear me holler, And you may see me cry-I'll be dogged, sweet baby, If you gonna see me die.
-Naga Rashmita
I marvel how Nature could ever find space For so many strange contrasts in one human face: There's thought and no thought, and there's paleness and bloom And bustle and sluggishness, pleasure and gloom. There's weakness, and strength both redundant and vain; Such strength as, if ever affliction and pain Could pierce through a temper that's soft to disease, Would be rational peace--a philosopher's ease. There's indifference, alike when he fails or succeeds, And attention full ten times as much as there needs; Pride where there's no envy, there's so much of joy; And mildness, and spirit both forward and coy. There's freedom, and sometimes a diffident stare Of shame scarcely seeming to know that she's there, There's virtue, the title it surely may claim, Yet wants heaven knows what to be worthy the name. This picture from nature may seem to depart, Yet the Man would at once run away with your heart; And I for five centuries right gladly would be Such an odd such a kind happy creature as he.

A: No, he doesn't.
The teacher says, "Why are you arguing?"
B: I guess you really do have the perfect son. How old is he?
One boy answers, "We found a ten dollar bill and decided to give it to whoever tells the biggest lie."
B: Does he smoke?
A: He will be six months old next Wednesday. Girl: You would be a good dancer except for two things.
"You should be ashamed of yourselves," said the teacher, "When I was your age I didn't even know what a lie was."
Boy: What are the two things?
The boys gave the ten dollars to the teacher.
Girl: Your feet.

A family of mice were surprised by a big cat. Father Mouse jumped and and said, "Bowwow!" The cat ran away. "What was that, Father?" asked Baby Mouse. "Well, son, that's why it's important to learn a second language." My friend said he knew a man with a wooden leg named Smith.
A: Just look at that young person with the short hair and blue jeans. Is it a boy or a girl? B: It's a girl. She's my daughter.
So I asked him "What was the name of his other leg?"
A: Oh, I'm sorry, sir. I didn't know that you were her father.
(Try this one with your students the next time you are teaching a lesson that includes this type of grammar.)
B: I'm not. I'm her mother.

Mother: "Did you enjoy your first day at school?"
The doctor again: 'Yes, you are very ugly too...'

The man says, "When I touch my shoulder, it really hurts. If I touch my knee - OUCH! When I touch my forehead, it really, really hurts."
Nick: "What do you think it is, Sir?"
The doctor says, "I know what's wrong with you - you've broken your finger!"
Nick: "I don't think I know either, Sir!"
Patient: Doctor, I have a pain in my eye whenever I drink tea.

PHONETICS Phonetics is a branch of linguistics that comprises the study of the sounds of human speech, or- in the case of sign languages-the equivalent aspects of sign. It is concerned with the physical properties of speech sounds or signs (phones): their physiological production, acoustic properties, auditory perception, and neurophysiological status. Phonology, on the other hand, is concerned with the abstract, grammatical characterization of systems of sounds or signs. The field of phonetics is a multilayered subject of linguistics that focuses on speech. In the case of oral languages there are three basic areas of study: Articulatory phonetics: the study of the production of speech sounds by the articulatory and vocal tract by the speaker. Acoustic phonetics: the study of the physical transmission of speech sounds from the speaker to the listener. Auditory phonetics: the study of the reception and perception of speech sounds by the listener. These areas are inter-connected through the common mechanism of sound, such as wavelength (pitch), amplitude, and harmonics.
International Phonetic Alphabet The International Phonetic Alphabet (unofficially-though commonly-abbreviated IPA) is an alphabetic system of phonetic notation based primarily on the Latin alphabet. It was devised by the International Phonetic Association as a standardized representation of the sounds of oral language. The IPA is used by lexicographers, foreign language students and teachers, linguists, speech-language pathologists, singers, actors, constructed language creators, and translators. The IPA is designed to represent only those qualities of speech that are part of oral language: phones, phonemes, intonation, and the separation of words and syllables. To represent additional qualities of speech, such as tooth gnashing, lisping, and sounds made with a cleft palate, an extended set of symbols called the Extensions to the IPA may be used Chetan
IMPORTANCE OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE A language is a systematic means of communication by the use of sounds or conventional symbols. It is the code we all use to express ourselves and communicate to others. It is a communication by word of mouth. It is the mental faculty or power of vocal communication. It is a system for communicating ideas and feelings using sounds, gestures, signs or marks. Any means of communicating ideas, specifically, human speech, the expression of ideas by the voice and sounds articulated by the organs of the throat and mouth is a language. This is a system for communication. A language is the written and spoken methods of combining words to create meaning used by a particular group of people. Language, so far as we know, is something specific to humans, that is to say it is the basic capacity that distinguishes humans from all other living beings. Language therefore remains potentially a communicative medium capable of expressing ideas and concepts as well as moods, feelings and attitudes. A set of linguists who based their assumptions of language on psychology made claims that language is nothing but ‘habit formation’. According to them, language is learned through use, through practice. In their view, ‘the more one is exposed to the use of language, the better one learns’. Written languages use symbols (characters) to build words. The entire set of words is the language’s vocabulary. The ways in which the words can be meaningfully combined is defined by the language’s syntax and grammar. The actual meaning of words and combinations of words is defined by the language’s semantics. The latest and the most advanced discoveries and inventions in science and technology are being made in the universities located in the United States of America where English language is the means of scientific discourse. The historical circumstances of India (having been ruled by the British for over two centuries) have given the Indians an easy access to mastering English language, and innumerable opportunities for advancement in the field of science and technology. Many Indians have become so skilled in English
language and have won many international awards for creative and comparative literatures during the last few years. Sometime ago, an Indian author, Arundhati Roy, won the prestigious booker prize for her book “The God of Small Things”. Her book sold lakhs of copies all over the globe. Over the years, English language has become one of our principal assets in getting a global leadership for books written by Indian authors and for films made by Indians in English language. A famous Indian movie maker Shekhar Kapoor’s film “Elizabeth” has got several nominations for Oscar Awards. It does not require any further argument to establish the advantage English language has brought to us at the international level. English language comes to our aid in our commercial transactions throughout the globe. English is the language of the latest business management in the world and Indian proficiency in English has brought laurels to many Indian business managers. English is a means not only for international commerce; it has become increasingly essential for inter-state commerce and communication. In India, people going from North to South for education or business mostly communicate in English, which has become a link language. Keeping this in mind, the Parliament has also recognized English as an official language in addition to Hindi. All the facts of history and developments in present day India underline the continued importance of learning English in addition to vernaculars. Some of the states of India are witnessing popular increase in public demand for teaching of English language from the primary classes. Realizing the importance, recently, the Minister of Indian Railways, Laloo Prasad Yadav, demands teaching of English language in schools. The great demand for admission in English medium schools throughout the country is a testimony to the attraction of English to the people of India. Many of the leaders, who denounce English, send their own children to English medium schools. Many of the schools in the country have English as the sole or additional medium of instruction.
A language attracts people because of the wealth of literature and knowledge enshrined in it. English poses no danger to Indian languages. The Indian languages are vibrant and are developing by the contributions of great minds using them as their vehicle of expression. English is available to us as a historical heritage in addition to our own language. We must make the best use of English to develop ourselves culturally and materially so that we can compete with the best in the world of mind and matter. English language is our window to the world. English language is one tool to establish our viewpoint. We can learn from others experience. We can check the theories of foreigners against our experience. We can reject the untenable and accept the tenable. We can also propagate our theories among the international audience and readers. We can make use of English to promote our worldview and spiritual heritage throughout the globe. Swami Vivekananda established the greatness of Indian view of religion at the world conference of religions in Chicago in 1893. He addressed the gathering in impressive English. Many spiritual gurus have since converted thousands of English people to our spirituality by expressing their thought and ideas in masterful English. English has thus become an effective means of promoting Indian view of life, and strengthening our cultural identity in the world. When William Caxton set up his printing press in London (1477) the new hybrid language (vernacular English mixed with courtly French and scholarly Latin) became increasingly standardized, and by 1611, when the Authorized (King James) Version of the Bible was published, the educated English of London had become the core of what is now called Standard English. By the time of Johnson’s dictionary (1755) and the American Declaration of Independence (1776), English was international and recognizable as the language we use today. The Orthography of English was more or less established by 1650 and, in England in particular, a form of standard educated speech, known as Received Pronunciation (RP) spread from the major public schools in the 19th century. This accent was adopted in the early 20th century by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) for its
announcers and readers, and is variously known as RP, BBC English, Oxford English, and the King’s or Queen’s English. Generally, Standard English today does not depend on accent but rather on shared educational experience, mainly of the printed language. Present-day English is an immensely varied language, having absorbed material from many other tongues. It is spoken by more than 300 million native speakers, and between 400 and 800 million foreign users. It is the official language of air transport and shipping; the leading language of science, technology, computers, and commerce; and a major medium of education, publishing, and international negotiation. For this reason, scholars frequently refer to its latest phase as World English.
SWACHH BHARAT ABHIYAN Swachh Bharat Abhiyan English: Clean India Mission) is a national campaign by the Government of India, covering 4041 statutory towns, to clean the streets, roads and infrastructure of the country. This campaign was officially launched on 2 October 2014 at Rajghat, New Delhi, where Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself cleaned the road. It is India's biggest ever cleanliness drive and 3 million government employees and school and college students of India participated in this event. The mission was started by Prime Minister Modi, who nominated nine famous personalities for the campaign, and they took up the challenge and nominated nine more people and so on (like the branching of a tree). It has been carried forward since then with people from all walks of life joining it. The components of the programme are: a) Construction of individual sanitary latrines for households below the poverty line with subsidy (80%) where demand exists. b) Conversion of dry latrines into low-cost sanitary latrines. c) Construction of exclusive village sanitary complexes for women providing facilities for hand pumping, bathing, sanitation and washing on a selective basis where there is not adequate land or space within houses and where village panchayats are willing to maintain the facilities. d) Setting up of sanitary marts. e) Total sanitation of villages through the construction of drains, soakage pits, solid and liquid waste disposal. f) Intensive campaign for awareness generation and health education to create a felt need for personal, household and environmental sanitation facilities Objectives This campaign aims to accomplish the vision of a 'Clean India' by 2 October 2019, the 150th birthday of Mahatma Gandhi. It is expected to cost over INR62000 crore (US$9.7 billion).Fund sharing between the Central Government and the State Government and Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) is 75%:25% (90% : 10% for North Eastern and special category states).The campaign has been described as "beyond politics" and "inspired by patriotism"
Specific objectives are: Elimination of open defecation Conversion of insanitary toilets to pour flush toilets Eradication of manual scavenging 100% collection and scientific processing/ disposal/reuse/recycling of municipal solid waste A behavioural change in people regarding healthy sanitation practices Generation of awareness among citizens about sanitation and its linkages with public health Supporting urban local bodies in designing, executing and operating waste disposal systems Facilitating private-sector participation in capital expenditure and operation and maintenance costs for sanitary facilities Our school Kendriya Vidyalaya, Khammam have followed Prime Minister Narendra Modi Message and started Cleaning our school premises to our society to make our India clean and green. Every day student of our school clean the school premises.
KENDRIYA VIDYALAYA Kendriya Vidyalaya is a system of central government schools in India that have been instituted under the aegis of Ministry of Human Resource Development. It comprises over 1,000 schools in India and three abroad. The system came into being in 1963 under the name "central schools" and has been affiliated with CBSE since then. Later, the name was changed to Kendriya Vidyalaya. Its objective is to educate children of the Indian Defence Services personnel who are often posted to remote locations. With the army starting its own Army Public Schools, the service was extended (but not restricted) to all central government employees. The uniform curriculum followed by these schools all over India was intended to ensure that the children of government employees do not face education disadvantages when their parents are transferred by providing a common syllabus and system of education. It still operates after 50 years. Kendriya Vidyalaya Ashok Nagar is the best school for the academic year 2014-15. Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan (Central School Organization) oversees the functioning of these schools and has its headquarters in New Delhi, India. LOCATIONS 1,086 schools are named Kendriya Vidyalayas, 1,083 in India and 3 abroad. A total of 1,148,340 students (as of 31 March 2014) and 56,445 employees were on the rolls (as of 1 September 2013). These were divided among 25 regions, each headed by a deputy commissioner. The three Kendriya Vidyalayas outside India are in Kathmandu, Moscow and Tehran. They are intended for children of Indian embassy staff and other expatriate employees of the government of India. One school in Tshimalakha, Bhutan, was transferred to the Bhutanese government, thus ceasing to be a Kendriya Vidyalaya (then known as IndoBhutan Central School (IBCS)) in 1989, after one of the major Indo-Bhutan projects (the Chukhha Hydal power project) was near completion and Indian government employees were gradually transferred back to their home country.
FEATURES All schools share a common syllabus and offer bilingual instruction. They are all co-educational. Sanskrit is taught as a compulsory subject from classes VI to VIII[citation needed] and as an optional subject until class XII. Students can elect to study the German language. In Moscow, students are given an opportunity choose French or Russian as its third language. Tuition fees are charged for boys from class IX onward,[3] and students have to pay the school development fund (Vidyalaya Vikas Nidhi), with the proceeds spent on the development of that particular school. Students from Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes and children of KVS employees are exempt from tuition. Girls who are their parents' only child from class VI onwards are exempt from both tuition and school development fund payments. Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan has started seeking a quality accreditation for its schools. The Quality Council of India (QCI) has accredited eight schools: KV No. 1 Uppal (Hyderabad), KV AFS Manauri (Allahabad), KV Sector-8 RK Puram (New Delhi), KV Bettiah (West Champaran, Bihar), KV No. 1 (Jammu), KV IIT Powai (Mumbai). KV Ganeshkhind (Pune), and KV No-1 BBSR (Bhubaneswar)

The greatest wonder of life isn’t the similarities that each new born brings in to this world, but the uniqueness it brings along with its birth. W hat is means to realise that in the history of the world there has been no one like the one that has come, and there wil l be no one. In His creation, there are no repetitions.
So, the first parental responsibilit y is to celebrate the uniqueness of the child. Never compare your child wit h others for any reason. Comparison re reals differences and differences will lead to feelings of superiorit y or inferiorit y neit her is good. Children need attention. The more attention they get, the more expressive and demonstrative they will grow in to. While the crying of child always gains attention, we need to give attention during Happy moments. Remember, a child is still a child. Do not expect too much from a little one. Let her experience the experience of growing years. Let growth be spontaneous and natural, and not something that’s thrust upon. Children are responsibilities entrusted on rumens by God. Good parenting is living up to God’s trust. Live up to His trust. - Akash
