THE JOURNAL OF SAINIK SCHOOL KAZHAKOOTAM ~ 2016-2017

O God, help us to keep ourselves physically strong, mentally awake and morally straight, that in doing our duty to Thee and our country we may keep the honour of the School untarnished. Strengthen us to guard our country from external aggression and internal disorders. Awaken our admiration for honest dealing and clean thinking, and guide us to choose the harder right instead of the easier wrong. Kindle our hearts with fellowship for our comrades and respect for our teachers and elders. Endow us with the courage which is born of the love of what is noble and which knows no compromise or retreat when truth and right are in peril. Grant us new opportunities of service to Thee, to our country and to our comrades, and ever help us to place such service before self...

atience, Will power, Determination, Courage and Confidence are the sterling qualities of the mind which are indispensable in the struggle of life. Lives of great personalities are nothing but success stories where it has been proved beyond doubt that sooner or later the man who wins is the man who thinks he can. So always have a positive attitude as by being an optimist, you can turn scars into stars and thus win laurels in life. Remember, Destiny is not a matter of Chance, it is a matter of Choice! It is not a thing to be waited upon. Rather it is a thing to be ACHIEVED. As we all know a school JOURNAL mirrors a School - its aims and objectives. It also highlights events, activities, and academic prowess and achievements. We need to recognize, appreciate, applaud and foster the fine blend of sensibilities in a child and thus this journal is to be viewed as a launch pad for the children’s creative urges to blossom naturally. As the saying goes, ’Mind like a parachute works best when opened. ‘This humble initiation is to let the budding minds free, allowing them to roam free in the realm of imagination and experience to create a world of beauty in words. All these I believe would spur higher growth and enterprise in children.

I am extremely glad to know that Sainik School Kazhakootam is bringing out its Annual Journal — 'THE KAZHAK CADET — 2017' shortly. Sainik Schools were founded in the country with the aim of grooming the youth to take up a profession in the Armed Forces. I am particularly happy to note that over the years, Sainik School Kazhakootam has lived upto this expectation while fulfilling its objectives in an exemplary manner. The large number of its alumni serving in the Defence Forces of India, quite a few very well known to me, stand as an apt testimony to the School's commitment towards this noble cause.

Sainik School Kazhakootam, as far as I understand, has a fine tradition of leaving its hallmark on everything that it undertakes. This is very true of the school journal too. Its past editions clearly stand out in its uniqueness of quality and impeccable standards.

Poornima Rajendran DS (Trg) & Honorary Secretary

The successful publication of the School Journal is considered to be indicative of a wellestablished and mature school system that has stood the test of time. Often, many schools tend to treat it as a routine and mundane affair and thereby happen to dilute the worth of their work. A school journal is the finest and the loudest medium of publicity for any school. It is by means of this, the world outside gets to know about the school. The world outside rates a school based on its activities, achievements and talent pool as portrayed it its journal. Hence it is with this motive that the schools accord due priority to the publication of their school journals with impeccable quality and credibility. For an outsider, a school journal is like a window on the school, it brings alive to him the school in all its entirety, fineness and grandeur showcasing skills, talents, activities and accomplishments of its primary stake holders. The `Kazhak Cadet' has always played this role in a superb way and I'm sure, will continue to do so in future too. 1 take this opportunity to extend my greetings and best wishes to all the Kazhaks! God Bless! Jai Hind! New Delhi, 02 June, 2017.

I am happy to learn that Sainik School Kazhakootam is bringing out its latest edition of 'THE KAZHAK CADET-2017', the School Journal. The School Journal is an eloquent testimony to the activities based on creativeness and commitment that mark the spirit of the school. It is indeed a platform for the budding writers, poets, painters etc to weave and display their thought on a variety of subjects. Sainik School Kazhakootam has been playing a stellar role in moulding young boys into selfmotivated and well-disciplined young leaders as envisaged by its founding father, Late Shri VK Krishna Menon. It is evident that the institution is well focussed towards its goal while striving hard to achieve it. Apart from academic excellence, the School has also exposed cadets to NCC training, sports, adventure activities and community development programmes. I am delighted at the School's achievements in the recent past and I am sure that it will scale greater heights in future.

I am extremely happy to note that Sainik School Kazhakootam is bringing out their Annual Journal-'THE KAZHAK CADET-2017'. In today's competitive world, education cannot be restricted to academics alone. It must have an equal footage on co-curricular and extracurricular activities. This inspires the students to become confident and successful in tackling the challenges of the dynamic world. I am glad that in this regard, Sainik School Kazhakootam provides umpteen opportunities to the students like the house activities, club activities, sports and Olympiads for Science/

“Today’s world not only needs high achievers, it desperately needs good human beings with humane virtues.”

very firmly believe that in today’s India, there’s a huge deficit of good citizens and I very firmly believe in utilising the opportunity offered to me to make up at least a portion of this loss. Upon taking over the reins of my Alma Mater in Apr 2015, I had placed a board near the main gate declaring “Give us your child, take back a gentleman”. I meant every single word therein. Recently I came across a post where it was mentioned that during a competition among special children, while the one who was leading the race fell on the track, others chose not to surpass, but gather around him and pick him up at the cost of not winning the competition. No wonder then, that it is believed that such children are mirror images of God Himself. Our innate nature of goodness seems to have been overshadowed by the need to achieve and conquer. If we, as a society, are unable to bring back the inherent goodness in our children, the future, to me, appear hopeless. More than preparing them for specific walks in life, I believe, we must Col A Rajiv Principal nurture and groom them to be useful citizens first, caring for his fellow beings and compassionate to mother earth. Then we must prepare our children to be life smart, not just speech or street smart. Once these have been achieved, then and only then should they be placed in the mould of specific professions. There’s a treasure chest in every child’s heart, filled with compassion, care and love. As educators and care givers, we must take extra effort to keep this treasure untarnished to whatever possible extent. I’m reminded of what our dear and most revered Dr APJ Abdul Kalam once said, “The seeds of peace in the world have their origin in the righteousness in the heart of every individual. Such righteous citizens lead to the evolution of an enlightened society. Education with a value system has to be so designed that righteousness in the heart is developed in young minds. That should be the mission of education.” I extol my fellow stakeholders in this mission to rise up to the requirements being dictated by the present circumstances to be able to produce gentlemen of whom we can be proud of. Jai Hind.

Sainik School Kazhakootam

onourable Chief Guest of the evening Shri S Ananthakrishnan, IPS, distinguished guests, esteemed parents, members of staff and my dear cadets, Good Evening and a warm welcome to one and all.

Old Boys’ Association: Sainik School Kazhakootam has a vibrant and closely - knit Old Boys Association. We as old boys have very close association with our Alma mater. I can safely use first person here since I too am an alumnus of this great institution. Every year OBA organise a re-union in which quite a good number of the Old Boys make it along with their families and children. On behalf of the school I am happy to place on record our deep appreciation for the yeomen service rendered by the OBA in all the developmental activities of the school. This is an occasion to acknowledge their support and I thank Cdr Sam T Samuel, President; Mr Soni Somarajan, VP; Col R Sajjad, VP; Shri Jain, General Sec; Treasurer Mr Rammohan and all executive and life members. We had a splendid re-union on 09 Jul 2016, sponsored by the batch of 1991. A felicitation function titled ‘Guruvandanam’ was organised by the batch, Where the teachers, past and present, were presented with a memento as a token of love. A variety entertainment programme

was organised to entertain the cadets. The event was much enjoyed by our cadets. On every reunion the old boys do come up with a few innovative projects. This time the conducting batch initiated a project namely ‘PILOT ORGANIC FARMING’ for cultivating vegetables at the campus itself for the use of cadets & staff. I am happy to intimate you all that the school has taken over the farm and is running it in a successful manner, thanks to the newly formed Horticulture club, which some committed staff and enthusiastic cadets.

doubled in the last four years due to the 6th pay commission. This case was projected from LBA to State as well as Central Ministry and was also a major point in the last Principals conference. As a result of this, an order was released by the Sainik Schools Society, Ministry of Defence to increase the tuition fee from 52,500/- to 60,000/- and an addition of 10% of subsequent years. The pressures are also on the ministry from the school administration to take over the deficit and has been agreed in principle.

probably this can be commissioned by the end of next academic year. | Installation of state of the art PA system for the conference hall. | Electrical rewiring of renovated buildings. To ease out communication issues of the school, a digital exchange, under the aegis of 91 Inf Bde, will be commissioned soon. Up gradation of existing Campus Management software is under process.

Mess: As most of us are aware, the school mess being directly operated by the school administration, has successfully delivered on their assigned task of providing timely and nutritious food to all 630 cadets and their supervisory staff. The school mess holds an FSSAI License since 2014. Considerable effort is being concentred towards maintenance and upkeep of the Mess. A lot has been done towards the same in the recent past. A heavy duty water filter had been established which now provides filtered water for cooking & drinking purpose. The Steam cooking plant has been replaced which has resulted in considerable saving on cooking gas expenditure. With the help of PWD, Kerala, other civil & electrical works are regularly carried out to maintain the requisite standards. Other ongoing maintenance and upgrading works are expected to fructify before

the start of the next academic session. Despite the severe financial crunch being faced, efforts are on from the administrate side to restart the use of cutlery by the cadets and dining in members which would add another milestone in the grooming aspect. The catering expenditures are ever on the rise which forced the school administration to approach the State Govt to increase the dietary charges @ Rs. 10/- per day per cadet, which facilitated achieving a fine balance on the expenditure on messing. However the increase got nullified when as a bolt from the blue, the state civil supplies department was forced to discontinue the APL ration, which was being provided till recently. This alone has resulted in an increase in expenditure of Rs 15 Lakhs per year on procurement of Rice, which is the staple diet.

Conclusion: It is my pristine duty to profoundly thank the Chairman LBA, Air Marshal Jasbir Walia, VM, VSM Air Officer Commanding-in-Chief Southern Air Command, members of the Local Board of Administration for their valuable guidance and support. I am also grateful to the Govt of Kerala, NCC, DPI, PWD, LNCPE, Sports council, KSRTC, Motor Vehicle Dept, Kerala Police as well as Fire and rescue Depts for their timely help. I also thank President and other respected members of Parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Association for their advice, support and suggestions. My gratitude and thanks to the Electronic and Print media for giving ample publicity and recognition to our school. I would like to place on record the excellent work done by the Admin Officer, Vice Principal, Senior Master, Academic, Administrative, PT, NCC staff, Permanent and contractual General Employees and the daily wage employees for making todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s events a remarkable one. The direct or indirect contributions of each cadet and parent are highly commendable. My

Random Thoughts

ow fast time flies!! It's as if yesterday I was approached for an article for the last edition of the Kazak Cadet, and the call has been made yet again. I'd be the last person to let go an opportunity when it comes to interacting with young minds. This time around, I shall delve upon the universal constant that we call change. Change being constant!!. What an ideal oxymoron!!! The most resisted thing would definitely be change. Why it is so is a mystery, as it is universally accepted that it is something which is inevitable. Whereas some changes have been necessitated out of societal restructuring, some have come out of purely ill perceived societal norms. My take on this- Change should come about where necessary, the grade of necessity as felt by the majority, and change if necessary should be accepted. In the name of societal reformation leading to forced changes, we have moved away from simple pleasures of life. Recently I attended a get together of my old school types at a hotel where one of us brought her third child, a daughter, on whom she was clearly besotted. The couple wanted their second

child to be a girl after their first child happened to be a boy and I still clearly remember the devastated look when the second one too came out to be a boy. So it was no wonder that they cherished the girl who came in third. Coming back to the story, the adoring mother was interacting with her old friends purely through the medium of her 4 year old daughter. "Sweetie, sing ba ba black sheep; sweetie, how does Poonam ma'am scold children?; sweetie, what did your friend Pintoo tell you? Sweetie this, sweetie that.." The proud mother was clearly enjoying herself which could not be said of all others. While most were accommodative at best, disdain on a few faces were clear.

Sainik School Kazhakootam

My own below average enthusiasm made me think as to how a favourite past time among family and friends during get togethers a decade or so back so suddenly became a big no no. If you care to contemplate, why shouldn't a parent take pride in the ability of their child however silly it may appear to a third person? Don't you show off your

latest saree, cell phone, Sky roof car, external paint on your walls, your not so pure bred lab whom you proudly claim to have just a wee tinge of Doberman in him!! But when it comes to spelling out the goodies of your child, one hesitates and the listeners despise. Strange are the ways of the new world! There is another thing that foxes me. I'm in for upholding everyone's personal choice when it comes to individual decision of whether a gift has to be offered upon being invited for a personal function or not. The last three four years have seen a pseudo austere move wherein a prominent declaration in every (almost) invitation card is a loud announcement to Not carry a gift. The tone ranges from a polite ‘Your presence is and would be the best present’ to a matter of fact ‘Avoid gifts and presents please’ to an almost rude ‘No money or gifts will be accepted’. What does a gift symbolise? For me, personally, it is an indicator of affection, thought and tradition. The great Kuchelan could not imagine visiting his friend Lord Krishna empty handed. Was it that the Lord desired anything material from his friend? Still he delightfully partook whatever pittance was brought to him out of love and thought. Attending a function is a wilful effort on part of the invitee. The efforts put in towards picking up a piece of gift for parting is a toil embroiled in love. For most, an invite with the above mentioned riders are real dampener of spirits. The reason meted out is avoidance of the burden. The reverse is also a possibility. Have you ever thought of the counter to this? Your invitee comes for a function but refuses to partake a meal hosted by you? Well, he can have his reasons. Doesn't want

Sainik School Kazhakootam

to burden you, Can afford his own meal, doesn't trust the cook you'd employed and what not. Fine. Let's draw a deal. No gifts shall be brought, no meals should be served. Having said this, I'm also acutely aware of certain lip service in this regard. Recently I was appalled to hear the story of a friend who took too seriously the “advisory” on the invite card for a high end wedding only to be later quizzed by the host to know what gift was given by her. Unbelievable? Same here. However I had to believe since I knew my friend from childhood. The crux of the matter? Let your invitees decide. They get something, thank them. They don't, thank them again. After all that's what you wanted in the first place! So, what's wrong and what's right? Should you extol the virtues of your child in public? Should you carry a gift against the thought process of the host? I will leave it to you to decide, my dear young readers. You are our future and you should have a clear and logical take on matters of the world. I'm not asking anyone to follow traditions but only to grant that freedom and space for ensuring each one’s happiness. Be the change you envisage to see in a better world. Have a wonderful year ahead. 

NBN Sir Col A Rajiv

# 2053/90

m unable to write a single word. However, the predicament does not destabilise me, for I know for sure that anyone in my position would feel the same helplessness. I had taken on the responsibility of penning a few words on one of the legends who walked the pious soil of our alma mater, Shri N Balakrishnan Nair Sir. Having volunteered to do that, I really am at a loss as to how to proceed. My worry; would my words be even remotely befitting that great Master! I hope it does. There are times when you thank your stars for having taken a decision. One time was such whereupon I decided to route my trip to Satara for attending the Principals Conference through Bangalore. My mission, to spend some time with a teacher, a guru next to God, my NBN sir. I was quite reluctant to go empty handed to meet him and so rang up his son, Shri Pradeep for advice as to what would make him happy. The response was exactly on expected lines. He adviced me against any such misadventure, but asked me to be prepared to spent at least half an hour with him, for that's all that he desired from his cadets. Since I was unable to accept the first part of his advice, I spent some time contemplating as to what could be taken without offending the Teacher. Late into the night before my travel, it stuck me. I hurriedly got up, searched the net and located a photo of sir and started making a pencil sketch of him. Once finished, I silently thanked God Almighty for giving me the idea and my art teacher, late Shri KB Rao for giving me the wherewithal to execute it.

Sainik School Kazhakootam

When I reached his house, he was waiting for me, having been informed by Pradeep sir. I was totally taken aback by the skinny and puny figure who greeted me. It was almost five years since I met him last and it seemed the passing of Ma'am had had a telling effect on his health. He was visibly happy in getting reconnected to the school for the umpteenth time. He made me sit and excused himself to go attend to his younger brother who was bedridden and a patient of dementia. Once again his greatness was accentuated by his act of adopting his brother, a bachelor, and providing him everything possible. As he returned lit up with nobleness and his ever radiant smile, I presented him the portrait with much trepidation. To avoid a situation, I had not gift wrapped it and whatever resistance that would've risen up in him seemed to wilt away as he glanced at the portrait. I humbly conveyed that it was sketched by me and saw his eyes glisten and moist over. He hugged the portrait and cried which made me break down too. He said 'sir, this is a great gift for an old man to receive' Since the time I reached his house, he had addressed me as 'sir' which very evidently placed me in a painful situation. 'Sir, I'm 2053 of 90 batch' I said, believing him to be mistaking me for someone else. 'I know' he said 'but now you are the Principal of my school. I should not get the wrath of Gods for addressing the head of my institution which gave me everything in life by his first name'. For the first time, I hated the posting order which miraculously brought me back to my alma mater to serve her. 'But Sir, I am what I am because of the very same alma mater and a set of beautiful teachers like you. Isn't it blasphemous for a teacher to address his student thus?' My logic didn't seem to run any ground. That's NBN sir. If he is convinced of something, he wouldn't budge, come hell or high water. 'sir, Dr APJ Abdul Kalam was also taught by many teachers. He became the President of India. Do you mean to say that his teachers should call him by name and take similar liberties?' I didn't have an answer. However, seeing my terrible predicament and to my total relief, for the rest of our meeting, he interacted without addressing me. Sir spoke at length about the initial days of our school and how he came out to be a teacher here.

Sainik School Kazhakootam

It was so that he was a research fellow at Roorkee, when he was among a few to be handpicked by, as per Sir, the ferocious dictator of sorts, the then Defence Minister, Shri VKK Menon. He reached Delhi as ordered and moved to the Defence

Minister's office. There were a few others and he was sent in by the PA in his turn. He was asked by the RM to immediately move to Pangode to which he conveyed his inability due to his research fellowship. Not another word was spoken and he was sent out. Once outside, he was quizzed by the Keralite PA as to what transpired and hearing his response, the good old man appeared shell shocked and adviced him to move back immediately to the RM and apologise and accept the offer. A terrified NBN sir moved back in and somehow conveyed his apology and acceptance whereupon, the RM just grunted, nodded and tore a piece of paper on which he was scribbling something. He gave the torn sheet to him and asked him to give it to his PA. The PA took one look at the sheet and looked up to say that it was a letter to his Roorkee University to cancel his fellowship. Mrs Pradeep brought in tea and snacks at the very same time as my classmate, roll number 2012, Gopi joined us. The conversation then revolved around very many senior OBs, their families and

positions etc. Sir brought out old albums and all three of us were immersed in nostalgia till it was time for Gopi to leave for his office. Once Gopi left, Sir was pensive for a while, as if recollecting and structuring certain thoughts in his mind. When he spoke, his words were clear. He said that he was waiting for an opportunity to disclose certain things for long and was happy that he could do so to someone who is in a position at the alma mater. He mentioned a particular Master, again a legend in his own way and about their strained relations based on some misunderstanding that the other nurtured. He said that he always considered that master as his own brother and would remain indebted to him for ever for the kindness shown to him during the delivery of his son as well as during a sensitive medical episode of his wife. On both occasions, that master and his lady had gone out of the way to look after him and take care of his family's needs. He recollected how his family was looked after yet another time by that good soul when he was refused to be absolved from a school duty by the then Principal which mandated him to be away for a long period of time. It was a time of extreme strain since his wife was not keeping too well. Due to some silly misunderstandings, the relation strained and he could never clear those misconceptions till date. He cried again stating that it was the biggest mistake in his life for not clearing the air when he could while at school. I consider myself as lacking in the ability to effectively console someone in mental pain and here too was stuck for words. However, he recovered immediately and asked me to sit near him and show and explain the school magazine that I had carried with me to hand over. He evinced a keen interest in the happenings of the school which were reflected in the magazine and gaped with child like wonder at the administrative developments. Once done, he again moved into his brother's room to look after him and after some time called me inside. He had opened a wall almirah wherein he had stacked hand made albums and gift boxes, a viable time pass and a method to keep his brain active as per him. He insisted I pick out my own memoirs not just for me, but my wife and children too. The two boxes,

one big and one small, still adorn my house as precious gifts. It was almost lunch time and I had a train to catch. I had already spend about five hours with Sir. Though he insisted that I should have lunch, I excused myself and took his leave. His parting words still ring in my ears "I might not be able to see you or our school again. I am not bothered about passing on. I actually passed away when I retired from my home of 30 years. My soul remained there as I moved out. It still remains there. It will always remain there. Do whatever you feel best for the school. Our blessings will be there with you" I was in school as a class XII student when Sir retired from service in Oct 1989. He continued to stay on in campus, paying rent for his accommodation from his pension and saw our batch through our board exam. Dedication unfathomable was what all of us perceived it as till now. With his parting words, another viewpoint emerges. As a drowning man desperately tries to stay afloat and retain life, here was a soul which wanted it's body to stay on in the campus for ever and ever, and the five odd months of voluntary work was an effort to appease that need, even partially. How can someone love anyone, that too an institution, so much? On my ride back to the station, his kind face and soft voice kept me company. It shall remain so forever, as a beacon light. Very many anecdotes have been brought forth by his disciples at different forums at different times. For most, he was an epitome of everything that's noble in this world. I may not be able to emulate his goodness, but I can be sure that he would be watching over me from somewhere. Before I wind off, let me endorse his advice to the present set of cadets. He said and I quote, "Dear cadets, you are in a great institution. Do realise it's true worth while you are it's direct beneficiaries and not once you leave it's warm confines. It may be too late". I unquote. May God Almighty keep his soul at peace and in the school as he always desired.

Our Heaven We’ll miss them all, Our school, class and the rocking friends, Those noisy class times. Day dreaming in the class, Those midnight tears, The everlasting exam tears. We miss them all… Those long chitchats, Seminars and assignments, Rushing after last dates, Copying projects and getting, Kicked out of the class.

On the road side, Lies a man; silent. Talking no more… By the rain and awful weather. His body is wet and with his broken leg; He can barely walk, No one looks up to this man anymore, He is just another fallen object. Lying on the road side… The man as he dies, Looks up at the blue skies, And no one even stops to cry, Or to feel any emotions inside, As his heart beats its last song, No one wonders if they have done wrong. As it was, the man just needed love; Love all along. But there was no one there, To mend his broken legs, The people were too busy, They could not soothe him, And make his beating heart calm. But there was someone, Up in the sky, He watched sadly,

As the man slowly died, His hand reached down, From the place in the sky. It carried the man up, up, Way up high. But down here, Things get harder, Worser than they were before, More things die, And drop to the ground. This goes on… Oh! God please make these people Realise that this can be happened, To anyone at any time. So my fellow people! Please, Show some sympathy to your fellow people. 

INDIA STRIKES BACK

t was September 18, 2016. the Indian soldiers were taking rest in their camp at Uri after a day long of hard work. All the soldiers were in deep sleep as they were very exhausted. The Pakistani terrorists were waiting for this time. They quietly got inside the tent. Suddenly, they attacked the Indian soldiers. The terrorists threw grenades on the tents the soldiers were sleeping in. The tents caught fire, and our soldiers couldn’t escape. 19 soldiers lost their life in the attack and many were severely injured. The whole country was shocked and terrified. The people were in sorrow. Now, the nation sought revenge for the cruel deed of Pakistani terrorists. After receiving an order from the Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar, Indian Cdt Anshu Kumar - IX # 5488 Armed Forces got ready for showing the Pakistanis what we are capable of. On the night of September 28/29, the Indian Army conducted surgical strike across the Line of Control. The Indian soldiers entered the Pakistani area, killed more than 20 Pakistani soldiers and returned without any Indian soldier being injured. This was a perfect reply to Pakistan. The whole country celebrated the surgical strike conducted by our army. The Defence Ministry of India has stated that now, if Pakistan dares to attack India then India will strike harder this time. At last I would like to write that we should be proud of our country’s army and respect them. 

nce, in a village in the US, there lived a horse, a dog, a goat and a mouse in the hole, near the dog's house. These were the pets of a little girl of 5. All the four animals, were the best of friends. One day, as usual the little girl, went to her school, in the morning. The goat jumped into, the garden, of the house. He saw beautiful flowers grown in the garden. He wanted to eat them. At that time, the dog appeared in front of him and told, “Don’t eat them! Daisy grew them up with lots of hard work. The goat frowned. The horse and the mouse came and told ‘good morning’ to each other. The mouse asked the others, Cdt Abijith T S - VIII # 5529 what to play, that day. The goat said, “we can play the game in which one will hide a flower, and others have to find it.” “No need of that", said the horse, “it is time for me to take bath,” he said and went inside his stable. The dog and mouse, too went for bathing. “This is the right time, to get hold of the right things” thought the goat and started feeding on the flowers. The horse, saw him and shouted, from a distance. By then, the flowers were finished. The goat tried to run away, but he was no match for the horse’s speed. The horse the dog and the mouse, started shouting at the goat. Those flowers were the girls favourite flowers. They started thinking, about what to do. Then, the dog saw a flower vase, kept inside the house. He thought of taking the flowers, from the flower vase and to fix it to the plants. And as the girl is small, she would not be able to recognize, the real and the artificial ones. The mouse got inside through the ventilation and took the f lowers and adjusted and fixed them, in the place of the flowers. In the evening, the little girl arrived. She went and plucked the red roses and the sunflowers and then, took them inside the house. The animals, were seeing this. Then, she started crying after seeing that, there were no flowers in the vase. She started crying and telling that, “I had raised the flowers with very much difficulty and some creatures, have stolen it, away from me. I had adjusted the artificial flowers and put it in the plants and the red ones in the vase, so that if a guest came, he might smell the flowers from the vase and my mother would be impressed. After hearing this, all the animals started laughing at the goat, and the goat went and vomited at a corner.

ith faith in the words, truth in the minds, pride in our souls, we, the cadets of Kerala & Lakshadweep Directorate set out towards our dream place, Delhi, on 28th of December 2016 from Kozhikode NCC Group HQ and reached Hazrat Nizammuddin Railway station on 31st of December 2016. Our contingent was led by Lt. Col. Sunil Kumar G R with the help of ANOS, GEs, PI staff and other Civil Staff who took care of us right from the beginning of our journey. At first many of us could not adjust with the temperature and language but within few days everything fell in place. It is a dream of every NCC cadet to march on the Rajpath in ceremonial dress, with a rifle in the hand and the sound of the boots overwhelming us with pride. When we reached the station, officers had been waiting for our arrival for three long hours. We were received by them and taken to the DG NCC Camp in buses. On our arrival we were greeted with tea and snacks.

We can proudly say that 11 out of 12 cadets got selected into the guard of honour and 26 of our cadets got selected into Rajpath. There were visits by all the three chiefs of the Armed forces on various days. Also visits by the CM

of Delhi, Raksha Mantri, Rajya Raksha Mantri and finally the PM of India. I was lucky enough to see all the three chiefs and got to meet both the Prime Minister and the President. A total of 2068 cadets of 17 NCC Directorates took part in the Republic Day Camp selection. RDC warrants great deal of time and patience. It takes around 10 camps of 10 days each for the selection. At first, it is done at group level and then selection is done at directorate level. Bands of various schools like Sainik School Kapurthala Punjab, Scindia School Gwalior, MP, Pilani Girls band from Rajasthan and NER band from Mizoram also took part in the Republic day parade. The cadets of Kerala & Lakshadweep were specially invited by the Vice-Chief of Army Staff Lt. Gen. Sarath Chand who is also an alumnus of our school, to his residence for tea. On 15th of January we got the opportunity to witness the Army day Parade conducted on Cariappa Ground earlier known as Garrison Ground. The Republic Day camp is the best place for making friends.We get to meet Cadets of various

states with different cultures. It just seemed like a Mini-India at the DG NCC camp. Cadets of various Sainik Schools also took part. Seeing officers of high ranks always motivated us a lot. Special SSB classes were taken for cadets who were interested many motivational lectures were given by officers of all three forces. A proud moment for Kerala was on the day of the prize distribution. Two of our cadets got the All India 2nd Best Cadet in Junior Division Army and Senior Division Navy respectively. Two girl cadets got the director General’s Appreciation card and one of our ANO, S/o Reji Joseph got the DG commendation. On the final day, that is on the day of the Prime Minister’s Rally, the Kerala & Lakshadweep contingent proudly marched and smartly gave the salute to the Prime Minister of India. Finally on 31st of January we left the DG NCC Camp saying goodbye… on 2nd of February we reached Trivandrum Central and were received by Trivandrum Group, Group commander Brig K.S. Shaji and Director Col. Sreejith Warrier. We were given stay at the Kerala Police Training College for another 4 days. The next day we were given a party at the Raj Bhavan and we posed for a

As like the advantages, there are a lot many disadvantages. Spending more time with the computer causes eye strain. Computers can also cause distractions from playing video games and using the said medias such as face book and whatsapp which can get addictive.

greed, I am a sucker for soccer. I do have my reasons for it. I don’t see any other game which is as fulfilling, invigorating, flamboyant, scintillating, mesmerizing, well I can go on and on but I will say it in one sentence, it is the best sport ever and what makes any game the best? Of course, the people who play it. I just adore all the players in international circuit but of them all, my favourite five are us under: 1.

he day was boring like any other. It started with the class leader shouting at us to be quiet. First period was sleepary (sorry, I meant history) I would remember the teacher coming to the class and getting out when bell rang. Meanwhile I had a little chat with Donald Trump and Harry Potter in my dreams. The second was geography. Well, geography is a subject in which no one sleeps with some exceptions (grays like me). After the period I stared at the black board. Well Estuaries are still a mystery. The next was biology. The teacher was so strict and never allowed anybody to sleep. So, I just forced myself not to do it. But I kept on drifting away. I don’t know why. I never listened to any teachers or their preachings. I lived in my own dimensions’. That day, while in the biology lab, my eyes fell on something. It was a specimen a human embryo. The thought made me sick to the stomach. I imagined it crying and puking on the nurse’s arms. If it had grown. I imagined it going to school with a heavy load I imagined it playing with its siblings. I imagined it plucking mangoes from the neighbour’s plot. Next I pictured its mother who may have lost her baby to the hands of fate. I felt sorry for all of them. Suddenly the teacher spotted me. She asked me what is Endoplasmic Reticulum. I was not even knowing how to spell it clearly. She sent me out of the class. I was sad at first but then my mood changed as she soon sent me a companion. I just discussed my thought of the specimen with him. The answer he gave was unbelievable. “You Mutton head, think if the child could have grown up and created another five children and who in turn would have created another ten children. That is enough for India to submerge due to overpopulation. I was astonished. Then I understood that I was not the only lunatic in my batch. 

I saw her with my own eyes, that day. She was like an angel, which had fallen down, near to me, right from the heaven. She was too gorgeous. She came closer to me. But disappointed me. Cdt Abhijith T S - VIII # 5529

The next was really very pretty, just like a princess. She was in royal robes and was guarded by many. She, too came very close to me, but disappointed. Then, was another one, who seemed to be nothing to me. But, she was looking good. She was very normal. She too came nearer to me, and gave me, what I wanted.

Question: (1) what did she give me? (2) who am I?

Answer: (1) Money (2) An Indian beggar.

wo friends were walking through the desert. During some point of the journey they had an argument, and one friend slapped the other on the face. The one who got slapped was hurt, but without saying anything wrote in the sand. “Today my best friend slapped me on the face”. They kept on walking until they found an oasis, where they decided to take a bath. The one who had been slapped, got stuck and started drowning, but the friend saved him. After the friend recovered from near drowning, he wrote on a stone. “Today my best friend saved my life”. The friend who slapped and saved his best friend asked him, “After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand and now you write on a stone. Why?” Cdt Hari Krishnan - VIII # 5672

The other friend replied “When some one hurts us, we should write it down in sand where winds of forgiveness can erase it away”.

“But, when some does something good for us, we must engrave it in stone where no winds can ever erase it. “LEARN TO WRITE YOUR HURTS IN THE SAND AND TO CARVE YOUR BENEFITS IN STONE.”

he year 2016-17 was the beginning of a new chapter for Nehruvians. The highly spirited Nehruvians started off amazingly by bagging the English Debate trophy which was a cake walk for Nehru with cadets Gavin, John, Albert and Piyush. Cadets Samarjeet and Rahul Ranjan continued the streak by winning the first and third prizes in the Hindi Debate and thus clinching the Trophy. But the house suffered a fatal blow by losing the volleyball, basketball and football matches in spite of the unparalleled level of play by cadets Himanshu, Jithin and Kiran Chacko. However, the Nehruvians’ unquenchable thirst for victory converted the bitter defeats into motivation which made them undefeatable in the Athapookalam, Calligraphy and Essay Writing competitions in which the performances of Cadets Abhijith, Sooraj, Akshai, Sham, Amal Prakash and Ajay were instrumental. Nehruvians proved to be further immaculate allrounders by exceptional performances in academics by Cadets Gavin, Sham, Akshay Ajit, Juwain and Mohd. Shah. Nehruvians, possessed boundless team spirit along with individuality and confidence in oneself which was proved by winning the individual prizes like Mr. Physique, All-round footballer of the year by House Captain Himanshu and Cricketer of the year by Cadet

Ruben respectively. The Marvelous physical abilities of the cadets were exhibited during the cross-country and annual athletic meet in which the performances of Cadets Mohd. Shah Ankit, Diwakar, Yogesh and Rakesh remained memorable. The stupendous performances of Best Athlete Himanshu and Cadet Yadu are worth special mention. Although, Cadets Albert Benjamin and Akshai R Nair showed their exceptional performances, the rival houses were lucky enough to have overcome it in the English Declamation and Malayalam Debate competition respectively. The Amazing skill of cadets Abhijith, Abhishek, Ruben, Rejith, Abinav, Ajay and Himanshu made them trustworthy representatives of the school at the UKF Ignefra Interschool Football Tournament in which the school was placed the third. The high intellect of the house members were further proved when cadet Gavin S Enose cracked the UPSC exam at the very first attempt. Even though extreme josh, spirit and enthusiasm could not take us to the pinnacle of victory this year, we are sure to make it happen the next year.

runners up. Cdt Abhinav’s and Cdt Shiv Sagar’s performances are worth mentioning. Shivajians are well known for their determination, endurance and die-hard attitude to win. We lived upto that stature by winning the P.T competition and being runners up in both cross country and athletics. Cadet Shivsagar was the first to touch the finish line in Cross Country and as many as 29 of our Cdts finished in the first enclosure leaving none after the third enclosure. In athletics as Cdt Suman and Cdt Shivsagar kept on bagging medals as Cdt Agam emerged as the best athlete winning two gold and a silver.

At the end we showed that the brawns of Shivaji had brains too by lifting the highly acclaimed Academics trophy.

However we Vallatholians squeezed every sweat and dirt and became the champions of the annual athletic meet. Cdt Arjun, Cdt Rohit, Cdt Siddharth.M Cdt Akshay S L and Cdt Chandan are worth mentioning. Unfortunately, Vallatholians was in a bit of a hazzle when it came to academics. Although Cdt Akash, Cdt Sreeram, Cdt Sidharth M Cdt Manjeet, Cdt Sameer, Cdt Sagar, Cdt Deepak and Cdt Amit accumulated a better off CGPA. We the Vallatholians who learnt different lessons from different mistakes, learned an important lesson. ‘A person who fails can only understand the worth of success.’

e the Ashokians rose high with our wings of fire like the phoenix rising from ashes with fame and glory. With great determination, team spirit and zest, we brought back the coveted Cock House trophy to our house with lot of laurels trailing behind. The academic year 2016-2017 was a remarkable year for Ashoka house as we marked every competition by a winning note or by learning lessons from lapses. We started off our endeavour by pocketing many positions in calligraphy competition, in which Cdt Vinay, Cdt Ashutosh, Cdt Sachin and Cdt Amit proved their styles and skills of writing. The tireless perseverance and josh we had did not leave us behind, as we geared for the cleanliness competition. The fabulous styles and dramatization of Cdt Vasishtt and Cdt Izac has enthralled the audience during recitation competition both sharing the second position and striking the silver for the house along with Cdt Vaibhav and Cdt Yadhu. No way to forget the effervescent quickness of surge, persistence and team spirit shown by our warriors to defeat the enemy on the ground which made an easy cut for us to grab the second position in Inter house football match and the admired Games Trophy. Cdt Unnikrishnan and Cdt Ashwin showed their

parlour tricks to lift up the aquatic championship where Cdt Unnikrishnan secured a gold and proved his skills. The hardy, sturdy athletes of Ashoka made way to put up an excellent performance on track and field. The combined efforts of Cdt Rahul, Cdt Vinay, Cdt Ashutosh, Cdt Vikash and Cdt Abhijith led us to victory and come home with shower of medals. The energetic Ashokians with their team spirit and endurance clinched the Bash on Bison trophy for cross country race bringing the torch of fame home. The your scholars Cdt Vaibhav, Cdt Adithya and Cdt Siddharth worked out their brains for the Quiz Trophy which eluded us by a whisker. As the tree is known by its fruit, the extremely talented and creative Ashokians presented a cultural extravaganza ‘Maurya’ 17 where the opportunity met the talents. And finally, Ashokians with their sheer dedication for studies led us to Academic trophy in which the whole lot of VIIth standards deserve an applause for their unmatchable performance. By wielding the shield of glory, with lot of hopes, we look forward in the coming years to bring laurels to our great house as our aspirations for a bright future remain immortal.

Why are you afraid of the night? Is it because of the darkness that flows from the heavens, Or is it because the light of the sun has gone? Why are you afraid of the night? Is it because the moon is changing, Or is it because you don’t see the big, bright sun? Why are you afraid of the night Is it because you keep your eyes on your shadow behind, Or you don’t see your beauty at all? Why are you afraid of the night? Do you observe the bats flying across, Rather than hearing the nightingale’s beautiful song? Whey are you afraid of the night? Do you imagine creatures which are creepy, Or do you see the shooting star’s beauty? Why are you afraid of the night? Are you so lazy to not climb up your bed, Or are you so terrified by your imaginary bed monsters? Why are you afraid of the night? Is it because you’re afraid of it, too? Why are you afraid of the night? And why don’t you answer me? Now, is it because you’re afraid to answer, Or is it because you don’t know the answer at all?

want to tell you something words. These are my experiences. Never give up anything. Just keep on trying and trying. At last you will win. If you have confidence, you can do anything (If you dream it you can do it). If you are an appointment or monitor of the class, don’t look for friendship or enmity. Always look for justice (Leadership is action). In Sainik School, we can learn not only this but also many more. But you have to face difficulties. To become bad is simple but to become good is so tough. I have also learned that a gentleman needs to be disciplined. This is what I learned from Sainik School Kazhakootam. But remember there are still more things for me and you to learn. 

Cdt Adrian Denson - IX # 5425

y name is Ellen, and I am from Ohio. My neighbourhood is an area were parents always support girls for almost everything and my parents too supported me, but in my case it was for playing soccer. I was a failure in my school days, and the college too was not an exception, I was rejected in all the job interviews, but, now I am the CEO of Davenport International Company which has a turnover of several million every year. And if I am here today its because of my dear friend Hazel. It was in high school that I had met Hazel and soon enough we turned out to be great friends and the only one common link between us was our love for football. We used to walk together, eat together and even study together but during most of this time our main topic of discussion was soccer. And soon our fondness towards soccer helped us to get to be a part of the high school women’s

Sainik School Kazhakootam

soccer team; and soon our passion for soccer kept increasing. Days went by and to pass we soon joined the Berkley’s University, and here too we were selected for the soccer team. This was a time when we were aged around 20 and we had a mind which was full of uncertainties, and it was one of our dreams to grow up and be a soccer player rather than being a nerd who gets stuck up in some crop cubicle which we go on to call as our office. Hazel’s Dad was an Advocate with plenty of money and he on her 21st birthday had bought her a car. Hazel was very happy and we often used to tour around in the city in her car, but yet this car tuned out to be a turning point in Hazel’s life. I still remember the day, it was a 4th of March, and I had gone over to her house. We were planning to go to the mall for shopping. But before going she decided to just wash her car and I, being very thoughtful, decided to help her. The car was parked in the porch, which evidently had a subtle slope. Hazel was cleaning the car’s trunk, while I was standing near the driver’s door. I didn’t know how to drive but my curiosity to check out the car took over, and I hesitantly got into the car, while I was just fiddling with the gear my arm accidentally

2017 KAZHAK CADET

hit the hand brakes, and to my horror the car started rolling back, and it went and hit the back wall; and while the car had crashed I also heard a scream. It was not the damage done to the car, but it was the thought about the origin of the scream that horrified me. When I rushed out and looked back I saw that Hazel was stuck between the car and the wall and her right leg was totally bloodied and she was unconscious. Three days had passed; I was with Hazel’s dad at the ICU, the doctor had told that the chances of Hazel’s leg not being amputated was point zero.

Hazel was later brought back to her home, but I knew, she never would be the same again and nor would be our relation, for now she had a prosthetic leg on. Hazel was really very sad. She used to cry always and be very depressed, and all this while I was with her, and the emotions passing through me were of profound sadness and guilt. Days passed and Hazel was now emotionally fine, She could walk with her prosthetic leg on, but she knew she will always be classified as a ‘handicapped person’. Every afternoon we used to sit together and talk about our old days when we used to play football. Hazel gradually learned how to walk without staggering and even to jog. It was during this time

that Craig our soccer instructor, took notice of her. One day he approached us and suggested to Hazel that she should try playing soccer again. In the beginning she opposed the idea, but eventually with my compulsion, she gave in. Now this was the beginning of her new life and she slowly learned how to kick the ball properly, how to tackle properly and so on. During this time she used to fall down numerous times and I used to rush for helping her, but she would politely refuse; she would insist on getting up herself and by this time I had known that she had made up her mind about playing the game. She used to practice hard every day with lot of grit and determination and soon enough, she again joined the team. Years went by and the distance between us kept on increasing for she had decided to dedicate her life to playing football and I had decided to take up business management and for this I had to travel a lot. Even after finishing my courses, companies continued to refuse me, and these were the time when I kept Hazel’s picture in my mind and continued to be determined to achieve my aim,

and all this while, when I was trying hard to get a job Hazel was a very odd person in this very odd world for me. Time passed and even after I secured a job, I used to keep in touch with Hazel, but once when I had to go out of state for some work, I was unable to contact her and only when I returned did I come to know that god had different plans for my dear friend. He had called her to her heavenly abode. Her dad told me that she had died fighting a brain tumour and her death had been inevitable; this made me cry for many straight days. Hazel’s grave as per her wishes had been dug out near the football court and now I go there every day to pay respect to her and our memories, even though she is not alive any more, even though she is not there for advising me anymore, she will be always present in my heart, she , I believe has etched her name in the world and now has become ‘eternal’.  Sainik School Kazhakootam

T h e rainwater splashed against her red boots, making it wet as well as dirty. She didn’t mind even a little bit, as she usually did. She walked through the puddles without taking her eyes away from the little house that stood behind the tall towers and the heavy traffic of the little town. Ava was drowned in her thoughts. Drowned in her thoughts about her childhood home, where she’d taken her first steps, where she had spoken her first word… where the comfort of the love of her family had always been there and her tears had always been wiped away. She hadn’t been there for the past decade. She had been busy with her graduation and finding a job. During the ten years, she’d changed a lot. Her baby with chubby face had become sleek. Her hazel eyes had become a little misty with her far away thoughts. Her eyebrows had learn to wrinkle when she used to think hard. Her straight, brown hair had been cut short to her chin. Her hands which used to make the tasty strawberry pies had become rough with years of hard work. Her long legs had learn to walk faster.. faster to defeat others who would let her lose in the game of life. She had altogether changed from the sweet, little girl to a brave, young woman. As she reached the doorsteps, she heard a faint voice from inside the little house. She had a small smile lighting up her face. “Oh, grandma!” she cried, with joy as never found. “Oh, my sweet, little Ava ! There you are back again in front of the door after a long time!” “You haven’t changed a bit, grandma. Ava said, removing her boots, which were soaked in the rain. “I don’t have to change just because the world changes, my dear Ava. By the way, you’ve changed a lot. The look of you! You’ve become a pretty young woman!” Ava didn’t hear a word that her grandma said after that. She was inside her home, yes, her home, which stood bravely in the midst of all the noise, in middle of the little town. She smelt the same fragrance of lily, her grandma’s favourite, room freshener. She closed her eyes and stood there, in the warmth of her childhood home.

is to explore if not football then some thing else…” These words struck my heart. I thought that primary class boy is more confident than me. He is cool and calm about his future. I really thought.

oday I woke up early but the same question was troubling my mind, I am a student who just cleared class XI. I passed the exam with flying colours and scored 98%. But the coming year is very crucial, and what to do after that ??? I washed my face, took a decent bath and went for my breakfast. My mother was really happy after hearing my results, but what to do with my results if I have no aim? My father is proud of me and my performance, but I could not disappoint them… I had my breakfast and went to play. I enjoyed the game very much. But the same thought was disturbing me. It was about twelve in noon. We had a great time and I rushed back home on my bicycle. While going back, I saw a kid playing football. For leisure I asked him what he was doing. He answered me that he was practising football. I asked “why?” He replied, “I love football. I want to become a great player.” I asked back “If not, then what?” He replied something that I could never forget… He replied, “Then what, the whole world

I was thinking all the way to my house about it. I reached home, I met my mother. She asked me, “Dear today I am making your favourite, by the way why were you worried in the morning?” “Oh! That was just a headache..”

Friend

Cdt Sujeet Kumar - VII # 5789

o you have a friend who used to help you? Almost all of us have a friend. I also have a friend. His name is Mukesh Kumar. A friend is one who helps us and teaches us many good things and good manners like our teachers do. If we get hurt in any situation, our friend is always there with us to make us laugh or solve a problem. It we don’t have a friend, we will feel alone and boring. You should not be greedy and selfish. Whenever you need your friend, he should help and behave properly with everybody. Without a friend we can’t achieve our goal. The things which you can’t share with your parents and teachers, you can always share with your friends. Your friend should have feelings for you. You just feel complete with each other. In fact, it is said, “A friend in need is a friend indeed”.

The Human Mind Human mind is a wonder Works as fast as thunder Thoughts of a mind is magical, But when thoughtless is biogical Mind is an energy bomb As sinister as bees in a honeycomb. Mind is sharp, But sweet as harp. Mind can be cunning, But they keep on running. Mind is powerful, Only when thoughts are powered Human mind has many capabilities, That can do limitless possibilities. The mind’s capability.

Depends on our ability. When we are capable, The mind makes the impossible possible Mind is a tool That expands more than a baloon It has storages That never ages. Minds should be used And not abused We are the masters of the mind We must learn to control the mind. 

Oh my teacher, you are my god, And I will ever like your teaching. Oh my teacher, you are my god And I will ever like your teachings. I will wish you in the morning, And I learn to follow your path, And step by step you will lead me, And I will follow you all of my life time!

t was a story which my grand father said to me once. “Son, the purpose of life is a purpose. Your s o u l l e ave s yo u r body when you are dead. The soul moves with all impurities that you gained during your lifetime or it moves with all your deeds which you did in your life time. But, the interesting fact is that the soul leaves your body and all good and pure deeds in the world of imagination (the earth) and

takes all illdeeds / impure things with it – when the soul rejoins with the supreme soul it is no longer a soul but God. Hardly a soul in a hundred crore rejoins with god. So it is your responsibility to face the challenges life gives you. No one’s life is not having even a single challenge. Even the richest face the most difficult challenges, do you know why? It is because life is like a ship. Do you know the specialty of it. I will say, A ship in a Harbour is safe, But it is not what it is meant to do. You face challenges because you create them. The more you create them the purpose of your life is fulfilled. When your purpose is fulfilled you study more things and when you study more things you will be able to identify the right and wrong. For example, a student in your class calls you for a bet, and it is, who gets higher marks will be given 100 rupees. That

Friends are like lamps, Who spread light In darkness. Friends are like flowers; Who bloom in our life And spread the fragrance of friendship. Cdt Mohammed Sahil - XI # 5389

Friends are like angels; On whom we can rely To share our happiness and sorrows. Be a friend who Protects like a father Cares like a mother Teases like a brother And fights like a sister.

Imagine a situation in which an accident takes place and in that a man's veins are cut, you immediately give him first aid and sent him to the hospital. The knowledge of giving him first aid and sending him to hospital comes from your studies and the study come from a challenge. So what I mean to say is that keep setting goals, keep challenging your soul. Take another example that your friend knows swimming. And you are afraid of water. He teases you after that you jump. Then you challenge your body to hit the balloon of your body that is your legs hit hardly into the water slowly you begin to move after that you have to control your breath, your hand movement, your stamina, This is how you challenge yourself. When you challenge yourself you will have knowledge of more things when you have the knowledge you are capable for salvation with god. Also remember, you should make good use of the knowledge you have gained from challenge. It is you, who decide your salvation. And remember. The purpose of life is a purpose. 

s it is said ‘Touring is the Chief hobby of today’s man’ and after a long wait my batch too got a tour and our hearts were like a heaven of happiness. In the morning our kits were secured and we were all set to go. Two beautiful tourist buses were our companions for the whole tour. We were assisted by Manoj Sir, Antony Sir and Rahul Sir. They were just awesome. Our first visit was to Thenmala, Kollam. It was an ecotourism site. There we could enjoy the beauty of nature and also some adventure activities. It was real fun. By seeing the sculptures of dinosaur in the region, I was fascinated. The gigantic sculptures inspired creativity and reverence in people, forcing them to create imaginary forms. Apart from being a visual treat for viewers, this site played an integral role in preserving and nurturing the ecological balance of the region. All of us really enjoyed it. Adventurous activities like boating, shooting, flying fox, tarpaulin jumping, rope climbing and cycling were mesmerizing. We had our lunch from there and after that visited the deer park and then boarded our bus to Cochin Naval Base. We reached the destination by late night and our stay was arranged by our ex-headmaster Cdr. Jason Paul who was a great officer inside his uniform but very humble in heart. He had a personality which was endowed with qualities of both head and heart. The next morning we were fortunate enough to see the take off of aircrafts of our forces. We were able to explore and know more about ships and in the afternoon we had our lunch and then boarded our bus to one of the artificial wonders of Kerala that is ‘The Wonder La.’ I suggest every child in Kerala must visit Wonder La. It’s really amusing. We enjoyed all the rides available within our limited time frame. Visiting ‘The Wonder La’ was the most satisfying experience as it was a fine balance of modern facilities. No wonder the park is a tourists’ haven. Some of the rides there took the whole lot of energy out of us but still we were not satisfied as we had only a very little time. By seven O’clock we boarded our bus back to school and on the way we had our dinner and by late night we were back and then went to our house and had a good sleep. All the three teachers who assisted us were just great and they too appreciated us for being disciplined and co-operative. We were very happy and I suppose none of us will forget the sweet and bitter experiences we had. 

ove is just a word, till you s show it. Guilt and sin are just words, till you commit it. True friends are those who talk without intention, love without condition, without expectation and use cuss words without reason. Love can neither be defined nor expressed. The colours seemed brighter, the sounds seemed louder, and the smells seemed more powerful, when your love is in front of your eyes.

Wh e t h e r a breakup is cordial or not, one thing is for sure that it makes a monumental difference in the lives of the people involved.

Some relationships have to end to make way for a new beginning. When you are truly in love, nature has its own way of acknowledging it. May be a leaf flutters or a light breeze blows past you.

Every one has a bitter past. We all go through so much in life. We shouldn’t cry over past memories but learn from them. The best thing about the worst time of your life is that you get to see the truth behind everyone you’ve ever cared for. Feelings always speak the truth. If you try to hide them, they come out through other unspoken means like body language and facial expression. Cdt Hari Krishnan - VII # 5672

3 MIDNIGHT

CALLER Cdt Adithya N Biya - IX # 5834

KAZHAK CADET

minutes had passed since the midnight hour in my old grandfather clock. The sleep I was experiencing was so deep that even a storm would not have woken me up. Usually it was like that. But this time, something happened and I woke at the sound of my phone ringing. I woke up slowly and looked at my phone wall paper. It was the picture of my long lost mother. She was smiling at me. I attended the call hesitantly. I heard nothing from the other side. I took the phone from my car and looked at the number. It was an unknown number. I kept it near my ear and spoke. This time a voice called back. A voice I never expected to hear again in my life. It was my mom. I don’t know why I did not get startled but I was fully awake by now. I spoke back and she said that she missed me. She told that she was deeply disturbed by not being able to see me. I cried and cried. Suddenly everything faded and I woke up. It was just a dream. But even though it was dream, I was satisfied that even after leaving me alone in this earth, she still thrived in my mind and in my soul.



I am a tree, fat and round I have lots of green leaves around me I have lots of heavy and thin branches And roots under the ground side to side. I give you food I give you shade I give you wood I give you fresh air. I need care I need air I need water I need sunlight. So don’t cut me Or I will cry Let me live I don’t want to die.

Tears of blood fall from my heart. I never thought we would be apart When you held me you said “forever”. Now that you’re gone I know you meant ‘never’ Saying you love me with that look in your eye… And that was a cold hearted lie. Your tender touch, a soft hug Two things I will miss from you, My face is wet with tears part due. I should’ve cried a long time ago But I loved you so.

Cdt Arvind Rajiv Nair - VII # 5753

ur journey to Bangalore began as I was woken up at six o'clock in the morning on May 1 by Acha and was told to get ready instantly. Just great, I hardly had got any sleep out of excitement and Acha told me to get ready that instant!. After I finally dragged myself out of my comfy bed, Amme gave me a glass of water and told me to wear my clothes. After the washroom formalities, I got ready and had my breakfast. While I got ready in about fifteen minutes, my whole family took much more time to do so. Anyway, after about an hour we finally left for the airport. At the airport we had many security checks and then boarded the plane. In the plane I kept listening

Sainik School Kazhakootam

to music so that I won't get bored. After about one hour we reached Bangalore International Airport. In the airport we waited for about thirty minutes ‘cause our driver wasn't there. We reached our hotel room after about what seemed like another hour. The room was pretty good actually but there was just this one thing- The TV screen was about as big as our laptop screen.LoL. Literally it was tiny but after about one hour of watching I think my eyes finally got adjusted to the screen. Anyway, after that we were about to go to this museum whose name was so long that I still don't remember it. (I asked my

Acha, got scolded for the hundredth time and remembered it as Vishvesharaiyya Sc & Tech Museum). The museum was pretty close to our hotel so we reached there in about five minutes. I couldn't believe the crowd at the museum, I think there were like about a thousand people in there. We got the tickets pretty fast and went inside and I have to admit it was not such a good first impression of Bangalore. First we saw the dinosaur section and there was this big dinosaur whose head was moving and it looked pretty cool. But then things got boring and there were a lot of mechanical stuff and lots of people so we just went to the ground floor to decide what to do. I really wanted to go to some mall and believe me there were a lot of malls there ‘cause I wanted spend my money. I had a budget of `1700 and yes I know that's an odd number but see, it’s like this. Acha told me that I can spend a third of my Vishu money(The rest obviously went to him!!). I collected `4150 from my whole family and also lost a tooth so the tooth fairy gave `50 and I asked Acha if I could add that and he said yes so now the total was `4200 and what's a third of that? `1400 and I know many of you would ask where the remaining `300 came from??? See, this is what happened, on the 30th of April Appupa gave me `1000 to spend on this trip and I was like yay! my budget's `2400 but no, dad told me I only get a third of `1000 as usual so only `300 got added to my total budget so there you are at `1700. Getting back to the Museum, as I was saying we decided on seeing the upper floors before leaving so we visited

2017 KAZHAK CADET

them too. I admit there was so much cool stuff but everything was ruined because of the crowd. When you're trying something out, some kid just pops out of nowhere and starts hitting all the buttons, so the fun of everything was gone. After some time we finally left that place for our next destination but believe me that place was even worse than this one. It was this huge botanical garden named Lal Bagh. The moment we entered, my sister’s shoes' sole gave out so she couldn't walk. So Acha told us to wait near a bench while he figured something out. After about forty five minutes Acha came back with a pair of chappals that he bought for her to wear. Later we realised that we hadn't seen a single flower so when we asked a shopkeeper why there weren't any flowers he told us that the plants only bloom in August and that we were there four months early. He did tell us that there were some flowers though, so thank God for that. After I was just about done with this place, Acha told me we were about see the the Bonsai plants. Thankfully we only spent about fifteen minutes there cause there weren't many bonsai trees there in the first place. So after about four hours I was ready to go back to the hotel room. We took a break of half an hour and then left for the mall closest to us, Garuda mall. The first thing we did was buy food. Then we saw a tattoo shop and both me and my sis got tattoos. So that was `100 I used up for my tattoo. After that the girls shopped at this shop called Claire's for about an hour as the boys roamed around aimlessly. After that we went to this road called Brigade Road where there are lots of cool shops. We practically bought nothing except 2 books which cost me `150 (other was sponsored) so that's `250 gone from my budget now. The next day we left for Mysore to visit the Mysore Palace. On the way we also visited Shri Shri Ravishankar's Ashram ‘cause Acha wanted to give a portrait he drew of him. Unfortunately Acha couldn't meet Shri Shri because he was not there at that time. After that it was a three hour drive to Mysore. (BTW it took us one hour to reach the Ashram so that's four hours) After about like the whole day rather than three hours, we finally reached the Palace. We spent about an hour+ in the Palace then we went out for lunch. Then

another four hour drive back to Bangalore and we were in our room. In the evening we went back to Brigade Road and first had food from Dunkin' Doughnuts then we bought a watch each for both of us and had food again from a dosa shop. We then had ice cream and left for our room. The next day was the best I would say out of all the three because this is what happened. We got up a bit late because all we had to do that day was shop. Acha went out to get breakfast and after about what seemed like ever we finally had breakfast. After that we left to the UB City mall which was like filled with expensive shops and there was nothing to buy there so we left for the next mall. We took a taxi and the driver told us that there was this good shopping area and that the mall we were going was to open only after an hour, so we thought ok let's go there but it turned out that the place was just a saree shop so we left for 1 MG Lido mall and guess what? The mall had opened about an hour back so that driver had actually tricked us. A guy who was with us in the lift told us that 1MG and Lido mall were 2 different places!. So we went to Lido mall and there we didn't even buy anything. So, ultimately we went to Garuda mall, AGAIN! There I played this amazing virtual reality (VR) game called Space Pirates and then went to the game parlour and played there. After that we decided to go to this place called Commercial Street where there was stuff for everyone. I even got a new Nerf gun, the Nerf Elite Retaliator which actually cost `2000 which meant I had to pay back Acha `550 but then Acha told me that he was about to buy me a solar kit worth `700 with his money so I don't need to pay him back. After that we came back and started to pack since we had to leave the next day. Acha woke me up at about 3:00 AM the next morning ‘cause we had to reach the airport early. We had breakfast in the airport and then left for Trivandrum. And that guys was our trip to Bangalore. Acha – Father Amme – Mother Appupa - Grandfather 

he great English poet H.W. Longfellow has once s aid, “Resolve, and you are free”. One’s life in this world is a grand total of his deeds be it good or bad. Every day, I believe we achieve something. One day a new born walks and that is because he has accepted the challenge. Day by day people conquer the impossible. A spirit of adventure fills them. When I first began to learn basket ball, I had to put my body to extreme limits. When I began to learn the guitar, my fingers etched. And because I overcame my older self it benefitted me. When a task is difficult to do, to make it simple we can break it into chunks and finish it. But to achieve it we must never procrastinate and never be a SCAPEGOAT. Self perseverance is important as the devil comes along in the form of entertainment, friends, and anything that will distract you. Actions speak louder than words and once you prove your worth you will be ready to take on another challenge. Every leader that inspires us had to move mountains and they

Sainik School Kazhakootam

teach us the same thing to accept challenges. I sat in front of maths note and the feast of my eyes was a hostile problem. My maths teacher came along and said to me, “The only way you get free is by solving that problem and that is the only way”. I jugged my memory and a solution appeared. Life will sent you challenges every day and perhaps one day you may lose the battle, the victor will be someone. One can understand the humiliation of being the odd one out. A time watch in an ocean of super computers. But re m e m b e r yo u a re unique. Since you are unique, challenges will come and this is the reason. But once you par t your own way and you have shed sweat to meet with metal. The world looks up to you. Before you know it, you are at the pinnacle of your success Nelson Mandela said, “It always seems impossible until it is done.” 

LOST FRIEND

hen I was young I had a friend. His name was ‘Varun’. We were classmates and also neighbours. We used to catch the school bus which will come in the morning on the top of the slope near our house together. We would sit together in the class. We were the class toppers. We used to study in my house in my room. Time passed and one day after the CBSE 12th Board Exam, that evening we were playing cricket with our friends. Suddenly a car came to my house. I like to see guests in my house. So, I stopped playing and went

into my house. Here I saw my uncle and his family from Dubai. They were talking about my father getting a job in Dubai. I was excited because we were going to Dubai. It was my dream to go to Dubai at least once. But suddenly my expression changed to sadness because I have to leave my best friend. That night I went to my friends’ house to tell it. When I said it they told me to study well in the college I was going to study. Everyone blessed me. My friend was smiling. But I knew inside that happiness sadness was there. When I peeped through his room’s window, I saw he was lying on

his bed and crying. After one month my uncle called and told our flight was the next day. That day we packed everything. When I was packing my friend came to my room. He had something in his hand. He hugged me and gave me a chain with a locket in which our photo was there. I suddenly took it and wore the chain. The next day morning the car came and I kept my luggage inside and sat inside the car. When I peeped through the window, I saw my friend ‘Varun’ waving his hand at me. That was the last time I saw him. 5 years had passed, now I am a gentlemen working in an IT company as the assistant manager. Because of my intelligence and hard work, I got promotions faster. The CEO of the company like me and I was married to his daughter,. I was living in a flat in Dubai. One day I boarded the flight with my family and reached Kerala. When we reached we took a taxi and went to my house. When I reached the destination, I became upset because I saw the neighbourhood house was locked with chains on it and a board hanged on a tree branch. I read it ‘House for Sale’. I went to my room with a sad face. I took a shower and had my dinner. After one month the company called me back, and I was ready for the departure the next day. When I was going to get into the flight, I bought a ‘Mathrubhumi’ Newspaper. It was a Malayalam News Paper. I sat on my seat and started to read the news paper. When I was reading, my eyes stuck on a news. The head line read "bphmhv hml-\m-]-I-S-¯nÂ sImÃ-s¸-«p.’’when I read the news completely tears rolled down my eyes. The friend whom I was searching for has gone to a far off place ‘the heaven’. It was my friend who met with the accident. He was having a wife and two children. It was sad. When I reached Dubai, my mind was disturbed fully by his thoughts. So the next day I boarded the plane back to Kerala and went for his funeral. For some days my mind was disturbed after I went to Dubai. After a week I became normal and continued to work for my family. But I had lost a precious thing of mine. My best friend. He will always be remembered as the best friend. 

Suddenly she pointed at a photo that was hung on the wall and asked me “Is that the Philip, whom you are looking for?” I said, “Yes”. Then the remaining words of the old lady, shocked me. She said that Philip was her son and that he had died two years ago in the same woods and that too, attacked by a tiger! Then, who was it that was there with me, that evening? “Was I been alone withA GHOST….!”

t was around 9 pm. I was walking through the woods. Suddenly, I heard a scream. I immediately rushed towards the place from where the noise had come. The sound was that of a man. In the distance, I saw a man writhing in pain as his arm was bleeding profusely. I immediately dressed the wound with my handkerchief. Then, I asked him how it had happened. He replied that he was strolling in the woods when suddenly a tiger attacked him. He had escaped and skipped away from the wild beast’s attack. But in the struggle, the man got hurt in his left arm. He told me that his name was Philip and that he lived in the nearby town. We walked together talking about ourselves. I found him to be a very good friend. When we reached the nearby town, he gave me his address and I promised to pay him a visit some other day.

he divine comedy as many of our readers may have guessed is not a comic. It was a pre renaissance 15th century poetic novel written by Dante Alighieri . It is not a comedy as many people have guessed but the name struck because Italian literature was divided into Tragedy and comedy.

The sight through my window It refreshed my dried up mind The wind that made the trees bow, Covered me as if to remind. “You have the spark Leave the dreadful past Spread out your wings like a lark Don’t waste your time, make it fast.” The sparkling little naughty drops played with each other They jiggled and giggled all through They came down to fall hither and thither Sad and helpless, on the mud they lay They reminded me of every thing – The time when I was helpless The day I spent dreaming. And also the days when I felt hopeless. The sunlight dazzled through the rain drops And made them sparkle like diamonds. Happiness they spread, along the dreadful heat But even when all minds are refreshed. My mind is still so crushed And yes, my heart missed a beat… The light through the summer rain stood for the bonds Between the smile and a million hidden tear drops…

Even though the weather was quite reckless I followed the path led by the moon light In search of soothing beautiful sight Were our eyes viewless.? I could hear the owls hoot I could feel the pebbles under my foot Because of the way which was not clear But the sound of the owl was clear. The stars were twinkling with all it’s spares The twinkling light spreads the nasty clouds But the focus of light kept staring at me Without doing any dare. The night was very silent and very cold But I knew, how much lonely In the shades of night were I wandered freely Were inside I stood bold. 

INTER ZONE 3.0

s we the 16 member football team stood on the platform of Trivandrum Central Railway Station, we were ecstatic. Though it was scorching hot and humid, yet we were very upbeat. We were going to Sainik School Rewa in Madhya Pradesh to participate in the All India Inter Zone Sainik School football championship. When we boarded the train, it was teeming with people. Just a week ago we had won the South Zone tournament. Every match in South Zone was pulsating. In the first match we played our arch rival S.S Korukonda. Depite our domination through the game we couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make it. The score read 0-0. It was a heart throbbing draw. We won the second match against S.S. Bijapur by 2-0 with the brace from Manoj supported by well-timed pass from Ajay Rathod. The last match was against S S Kodagu. It was a deciding match. In this crucial match Ajay put leg forward to score the opening goal and Manoj followed suit scoring a hatrick. Thus we won by a whopping 6-0. In all the matches our defenders Randhir Kumar, Vikash, Abhishek. A and Kishore . S Thampi stood like a formidable wall. Our strikers did a fantastic job. A special mention of Kashyap and Jilin Antony. The midfielders Arjun, Nandu, Manoj and Rajinish provided good support. Thus we emerged champion in South Zone and Kashyap Remanen was adjudged the best player of the tournament for his sublime skills. Our goalkeepers Abhinav K.J and Mohammed Shah were simply the best. It was after these wins, we headed to Rewa. We reached Bhopal at midnight. Our train from Bhopal to Rewa was at 10PM. We had lots of time. So, to pass our time we decided to go for sight seeing in and around Bhopal city.

First we went to a beautiful lake which is situated in the middle of the city. There is a famous temple which is perched on a hill top very near the lake. In the afternoon we went to a multiplex and watched ‘Dishoom’ movie. It was a good film filled with fun and humour. In the evening we went to a shopping mall and we did window shopping. No sooner did we come out from the mall than it started raining. Soon we were dripping wet but we caught a taxi and returned to the hotel. From there we came to Bhopal railway station and reached Rewa early in the morning.

In our pack, we had Cdt. Kashyap R and Cdt. Manoj who played interzone for last two years. Their experience came handy in reducing the goal margin while playing against teams like Ghorakhal and Imphal. On 10th August we returned to our school. We express our deep gratitude to our masters Mr. Shakti Singh and Mr. Lal Abraham who accompanied us. All in all, it was a good experience.

Then I saw a beam of light, The witch went out of my sight. It was then I realized, It was nothing but a haunted night.

Sainik school Rewa has a sprawling campus and robust infrastructure. The football fields were grass courts that made it a bit difficult to play. Nevertheless, every match we fought tooth and nail. The first match was played between us and SS Ghorekhal who were defending champions; we gave a good fight but they had the last laugh. We lost by a razor thin margin of 1-2. We played the second match against SS Imphal and again went down fighting 0-2. Although we could not make a good start, in the third game we were back with all gun blazing. We marauded S S Tilaya by 4-0. The last match was played against S.S. Balachadi and we won by a wide 5-0 margin in which Kashyap Remanan scored hatrick. In overall position we were placed 3rd. That was definitely a good position when we consider our position in the last two years in the Inter Zone. We also put up a good show in the cultural evening. The dance team members were Nandu, Kashyap, Arjun, Akash, Gogul M, were amazhing.

Last night, I had a dream, Which made me scream I rushed outside the room, And saw a lady flying on a broom. On realizing that she was a witch, My muscles began to twith. She was dressed in the black, Her broom gave me a whack She sat down on my bed, And my f ace turned to red.

A friend is one who helps us and teaches us many good things and good manners like our teachers do. If we get hurt in any situation, our friend is always there with us to make us laugh or solve a problem. It we don’t have a friend, we will feel alone and boring. You should not be greedy and selfish. Whenever you need your friend, he should help and behave properly with everybody. Without a friend we can’t achieve our goal. The things which you can’t share with your parents and teachers, you can always share with your friends. Your friend should have feelings for you. You just feel complete with each other. In fact, it is said, “A friend in need is  a friend indeed”.

I am waiting for a peaceful morrow Where people do not bleed for religion Nor talk of laying traps For one another on the basis of ‘isms’. I am waiting for a ‘wall less’ world Where people do not build and mend walls Never ever talk of fencing With the barbed wire of hatred and fanaticism.

I am waiting for a lovely world Where people would share with and care for one another Never ever talk of snatching the beggar’s bowl But would wipe one another’s tears. I am waiting for a joyful world Where our joys are common and sorrows shared Never one grows sick of another’s joy But would rejoice at other’s well-being!

Character...... Ms Sonia R Dept of English

The Crown of Life

he rise of global terrorism,9/11,the Paris attacks, the increasing crimes ,blood baths in the name of religion, the slaughter of gentle animals for economic gains. child labour, wanton destruction of the environment for short term gains, genetic engineering of plants and animals, unbridled desires and opulent lifestyles while fellow beings struggle for drinking water and onetime meal, deforestation, global warming and climate change, the stockpiling of nuclear arms and their getting into the hands of the heartless ruthless terrorists. These mindless violence and wickedness seems to be only escalating each day. What is the cause of these troubles? Reason could be that the people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t follow the human values. Now what are these Human values? They are the guiding principles that make us human. It is something that is within us. Just as ice is cold and fire is hot, naturally a human being is born with human values. They are inherent. They are already in each one of us .Each human being has a character.

122

Sainik School Kazhakootam

If human values are instilled in your character , they help us to develop our character .Our character is reflected in our words ,behaviour and conduct in our daily life. We can practice the human values everyday in our life. Inculcate the habit of speaking the truth. Be honest and sincere in whatever you do in your life. Admit your mistake truthfully . . Nobody is born bad. Circumstances make him bad. When these bad qualities are removed from us we attain some good qualities and thus we develop the good qualities .Diamond looks like an ordinary rock when it is in the earth. From a rock in the mine it transforms into sparkling , shining and a valuable jewel when cleaned and polished . Dust and dirt that cover us are the bad qualities like anger , greed, telling lies, harming and hurting others. When we practice instilling human values ,it is like cleaning and polishing ourselves, just like a diamond ,we get cleaned and become more valuable . These form our character. Our character is WHO we are and WHAT we do when

2017 KAZHAK CADET

no one is watching us.”Good Character” means doing the right thing just because it is right to do what is right. Do what is right . Keep your clothes and belongings in the proper place neatly and cleanly. Respect your parents , teachers and elders Avoid anger .Be patient, humble, simple and contented. Love your parents, brothers, sisters , friends and love yourself. Forgive others and choose your friends carefully and choose only good ones. By practicing these basic human values, you can definitely escalate your character. Good character is needed to be morally ideal citizen . You can build good character step by step by choosing the right choice. By practicing the human values, our thoughts, feelings and emotions become pure and it gives us the power of discrimination. When we consciously start choosing and practicing it turns into habits. It is said that thoughts become words , words become actions, actions become habits ,habits become Character and character makes the destiny.

Once Lord Indra intended to test Prahlada and so came to him in disguise. Prahlada offered his respects to him and asked, ”What do you seek of me ? How can I make you happy?” Indra who was in disguise replied ,”O King ! I want very little .Just give me your Character .”A surprised Prahlada said, ”That I can give but you should really ask for something more important. I am ready to give you anything you want. Why then are you prepared to settle for something so little?” Indra replied, ”For me this small thing is enough. I do not want much.” Prahlada said,” As you wish.” Indra was very pleased with Prahlada’s willingness to part with even his character in order to keep the word he had given.

A few seconds later, another handsome person was seen walking away from the court. Prahlada asked ,”May I know who you are?”He replied, ”I am Valour. How can I be with you without Character and Fame? Therefore, I am leaving you.” Soon a charming lady was leaving the court in hurried steps. Prahlada asked her, ”Mother,may I know who you are?”” I am Rajyalekshmi. I represent your Kingdom and wealth.”” Once Character leaves, Fame and Valour departs, Kingdom and wealth have to do likewise; therefore, Iam leaving you!” In this manner , Prahlada lost everything. Now, a depressed Prahlada came to realize the very important role that character played in life. Prahlada sat quietly praying intensely to the Lord for the restoration of his character. Indra watched all the events. Looking at the dejected Prahlada, he appeared in his true form as Indra and told,”Son, I had come to test your ability of keeping up the word.

Therefore , to have a great future each one should instill human values in your character. Add these values little by little daily in your character. Thus you can be a person with good character. People around you should feel ,”Ah! how good ,how useful , how intelligent ,this young man/woman has become. How exemplary is her manners and conduct!”

“Here, I give back your character. Character is supreme. Fame, wealth, kingdom, everything comes and stays with the person who has good character.”Indra returned the gift he had received. And when this happened, all the others too returned to the court and said,”We cannot exist without character. Now that the Character is back, please allow us to be with you.”

Thus this will make you a role model and definitely make your parents happy. I would like to narrate a story before concluding... Pure and good feelings come from the heart only when Virtues and Character are present. Even as a young boy, Prahlada had extra ordinary character. Later when he grew up ,he was a righteous king and ruled the kingdom virtuously. He would never say no to anyone who approached him for a favour , gift or any help. He was able to achieve much success and victory.

cannot stay with you any longer since Character has left you.”

Immediately after Indra left , a Charming young man was seen walking away from the royal court. Prahlada was surprised and asked, ”Who are you?” The young man replied,”I am Fame, I

This story teaches how fundamental and important Values and Character in our lives are. It teaches that once character is lost , everything is lost. Life without character is like a pot full of holes. Water can never be retained in a pot with holes. So the essential human quality will never be retained in the life of a person without character. The welfare of a country depends on the character of its citizens. Men and women of character alone bring prosperity to a Nation.  Sainik School Kazhakootam

stared back at the sheet

In Pursuit of Passion

Cdt Shilpa Rajiv Nair - XI

So white and pure As it sat and stared at me Challenging, My intellect, waiting to flow Through the poised pen in my hand I close my eyes in a silent prayer, Think through my pains and tribulations; Of the last few months, as I garnered Ability and wherewithal, to attempt a formidable hurdle. Some call it an exam, others a test I see it as an impediment; A wall hiding my dream, A dream I nurtured since the time, I could barely spell the word. The earnest face of my mother, The soft glitter in my father’s eyes, Came flooding to me, As I sat there, a quarter past the start All I 'knew' lurking somewhere Needing a push of my passion The dream of mine waiting a release My life beyond this testing time And as the clock struck half of the first hour I felt a rush of life empower;

Life is a Beautiful story memories are the pages to turn Lovely songs can be heard, when sweet memories pass over Life becomes beautiful, filled with love, care and happiness, Life becomes a paradise, bloomed with each and every flower. Rain pours out and cries for happiness Lovely thoughts and beautiful birds, colours of rainbow comes everyday sun gives light to life, moon gives shade to life. Life cannot be cheated, Love can be cheated, Love is a lesson in life, live a life filled with love, Life is a paradise. I slept and dreamt that life is joy I awoke and saw that life was service. I acted and beheld, service was joy.

Cdt Shomin Shomon - IX # 5483

Everyone is differently abled, but Everyone has abilities Everyone is differently abled, but Make their lives work differently Now you might use a chair with wheels to get around, You might use your hands to speak without a sound, cause There are million ways to do anything. Some people love and dance, some people prefer to sing You can use a petdog to help you see or use your mouth and feet to paint and write novels or poetry There are million different ways that you can be.



It’s true that all of us live independently I will not be defined by my limitations. But rather by my possibilities. We can respond to the needs of those around. The best ability is to have a kind heart and a willing soul .

We will burn ourselves… Banta: Don’t worry, we will go there by night!! 2) Two passengers were travelling in a bus, it was late evening. Passenger 1: Did you notice, why are these trees moving backwards. Passenger 2: Ah! You fool. Look its late evening, I think they are going home… 3) The new SI was very strict. He wanted everyone to salute when he passed by. One day the

police station caught fire. Many were trapped on the first floor. Some policeman who escaped gathered down and held a big cloth by their hand and asked everyone to jump down. Every one jumped one by one and the policemen caught them by the cloth. The last to jump was the SI. As the SI jumped, all the policemen left the cloth and saluted!!! The SI fell to his DOOOOM…. 4) The pupil came late to school. The teacher was very angry. Teacher : you are late to the school for the fifth time. Why? Pupil : sir, I reached school at the right time but the new board near the road says “SCHOOL AHEAD. GO SLOW”  Sainik School Kazhakootam

LIEUTENANT :

MANOJ KUMAR PANDEY, PARAM VIR CHAKRA 1/11 GHORKHA RIFLES [NO. I.C. 56959]

Cdt Vinayak Pradeep - IX # 5671

Manoj Kumar Pandey took part in a series of boldly led attacks during ‘Operation Vijay’, forcing back the intruders with heavy losses in Batalik including the capture of Jaubar Top. On the night of 2/3 July 1999 during the advance to Khalubar as his platoon approached its final objective, it came under heavy and intense enemy fire from the surrounding heights. Lieutenant Pandey was tasked to clear the interfering enemy positions to prevent his battalion from getting day lighted, in a vulnerable position. He quickly moved his platoon to an advantageous position under intense enemy fire, sent one section to clear the enemy positions from the left. Fearlessly assaulting the first enemy position, he killed two enemy personals and destroyed the second position by killing two more. He was injured on the shoulder and legs while clearing the third positions. Undaunted and without caring for his grievous injuries, he continued to lead the assault on the fourth position urging his men and destroyed the same with a grenade, even as he got a fatal burst on his forehead. This singular daredevil act of Lieutenant Manoj Kumar Pandey provided the critical firm base for the companies, which finally led to the capture of Khalubar. The officer, however, succumbed to his injuries. Lieutenant Manoj Kumar Pandey, thus displayed most conspicuous bravery, indomitable courage, outstanding leadership and devotion to duty and made the supreme sacrifice in the highest traditions of the Indian Army. A grateful nation awarded him the highest award for gallantry, the PVC.

* One day a woman took her cat to the veterinarian. She said “My cats are not well, I don’t know why.” The doctor said “It will cost $5,000 for me to treat it.” “Okay” said the woman. The doctor asked the woman to stand outside the room. The woman saw the doctor walking around the cat examining it. After 1 minute he came out. When the bill came she was surprised “$20,000” she said “but you said it will be $5,000”. The doctor said “Yeah, $5,000 for medicine”. The woman asked “Then what is the extra for???”. “Well” the doctor shrugged “I gave it a CAT scan”. “What?” said the woman. “I hope you saw me, walking around the cat giving it a scan.” A scan for cat = CAT SCAN. * One day a rabbit asked a tortoise “wanna race”. “Yeah” said the tortoise. The tortoise who reaches home first, wins”. The rabbit agreed 1,2,3. The race started. The tortoise dived into his shell Guess who won?? - the tortoise of course, his shell is his home.

View of The Shimmering Coast Cdt G. Amrita - IX # 5728

tanding here, on the cliff My wandering eyes Glimpse a blinding dazzle Stretched over the miles.

It is the ocean vast and blue Unpredictable, yet eerily calm She never ceases to enchant you With her unparalleled charm. Mingling with rays of the sun Like a chain of shimmering gold She adorns the crimson horizon As I watch the dusk unfold. She greets me with a gentle breeze That makes the nature dance Flowers, boughs, grasses and leaves Sway, like in a mystical trance. The Ocean is the true embodiment Of natureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strength and beauty She captures hearts in an instant With her divine tranquility.

Love was the reason Behind my thoughts Love was the reason Behind my words Love was the reason behind my feelings Everyday and every night You are my soul Which leads me on I am fine when you are with me. Love was the reason Behind my hope And my wetted eyes Love was the reason For my restless thoughts And my sleepless nights You are my soul Which leads me on I am fine when you are with me. Love was the reason For my broken heart And my speechless tongue Love was the reason For every single smile with tears Love was the reason For my unknown feeling You are my soul. Which leads me on I am fine when I am on your shoulders. [This Poem is dedicated to the memory of Late. Mr. B.P. Moideen and Kanchana Mala] 

When I peeped through my window I saw the sun shine When I look down, I saw the Meadow Where the grass sparkled in the Sunshine.

The sun’s beams falling on the stream Which made the stream sparkle and glitter Like heavens of dreams Were the wishes floated.

In this place of glory My eyes got attracted towards beauty I rushed towards my view Which made my mind, to set out a review. My mind told me that, I reached the heavan Then I turned and I saw a butterfly with lots of colours Which was bright like a rainbow before rain Then suddenly my views got blurry. Then I looked, the sun went down slowly Then my views filled with dark and I felt sad Then I went down and sat near a tree And waited for the sun to rise once again.

The Wise Farmer

farmer had a strong young cow. Some thieves had their eyes on the hefty cow. They were looking for a chance to steal the cow and sell it at a good price in a far off place. One day the thieves found the cow unguarded and took it away. The farmer saw the cow stolen by the thieves and took a stick and ran after the thieves and over took them. Then he said, “Leave my cow alone or I shall do what my father did.” The thieves got afraid and gave his cow to him and one thief asked “Will you tell us what your father did?” The farmer laughed loudly on hearing the question. After some time he stopped laughing and said. “When the cow of my father was stolen he could not find it, he bought a new cow. And this cow is that same cow”. The thieves also broke into laughter and went away praising the farmer’s wit.

s I reached out to her, she vanished, And I stood there hollow.

At home, I asked my brother Why are you doleful? “Sister, is it me who’s doleful?," came the answer I left, with a weary smile. I saw her again, this time I ran after her and Cried out, “please, don’t leave me unanswered.” But she left me without even thinking to look back I stood there alone. On my bed, was I lying fully awake. I slowly closed my yes. I went out to the terrace I saw her, “Please, don’t go.” I said. But this time she didn’t She turned back and said, “Feel me, hear me, My dear…” And she went away smiling. I stood there alone facing her, Thinking it was a dream or if she appeared for real. I felt her, I heard her For the first time; I found myself facing her, boldly; With a smile. I found myself smiling in the silent dawn For the first time…

had a strange dream: I started growing; I grew as big as my cot, Then as big as my room Went on to become as big as my house Breaking the walls and roof; I grew as big as a hill And then to the size of a mountain And into the size of the world Filling every inch, every breathing space. I had legs as big as the Eiffel Tower And arms ten times as long as the London Bridge My head was no less than the size of the moon And a belly as enormous as all the oceans put together. Now I felt a strange happiness Fill my very being. Then I had a strange fancy; I should like to take a look at myself. How? In a mirror, of course. But there wasn’t a mirror Huge enough for my size; I felt terribly upset. Then I thought I would ask someone How I looked like. But then I realised There wasn’t an insect around; There was no one in the world Except me. How could anyone else exist When I filled every inch? I felt terribly lonely And thought I would move about a bit For a change. But alas! I couldn’t lift my legs; They were too big and heavy to lift.

I thought I would lie down a while But neither could I do that. By now I was being tormented By loneliness and by being unable to do anything. Now I realised how comfortable I was Like a tiny creepy crawly Going about my daily chores, Meeting others like me. There was change, there was fun The fun of loving and being loved The joy of caring and being cared for There was meaning in life. Now I learnt how foolish it was To grow so huge As to trample and suffocate others And sometimes to the extend Of ‘eliminating’ them. Life gains its meaning and depth From the relationship with others It is in living together that Life becomes meaningful. Then I prayed to God To make me a normal being I begged for His forgiveness For the times I had puffed up my ego And nourished the “I” in me. And soon I saw myself growing small And reaching the normal size. Suddenly I woke up And walked straight to the dressing table I looked in the mirror And confirmed that it was only a dream. I let a sigh of relief And decided to be “WE” And not “I”. 
