Revving up for a new Class

By -


It's been quite some time that the exams had ended, and we all have been relaxed enough (seriously, anyone there who needs more time?) Personally, I have been successful in deleting all the junk data of subjects like Bengali, Chemistry, Biology, et cetera. Now, during this vacation, it feels like as if time doesn't pass by- it merely stands still. Believe me, I had thought that this time after the exams would be "super-cool"; on the contrary it has been boring and brought me tons of idle time. "Idle mind is the devil's workshop" says the famous proverb.

More than twenty days remain for the new academic session to begin. The euphoria of meeting with old friends, reliving the fun on the campus, taking down tedious notes and learning lessons, is too tremendous to be explained. But as days pass; months pass - when time seems to run - that's when the mind again longs for this break. Uhh. That's the human mind, like a maze. You never know what it's up to.

As for us, we've got our reports on the twenty-first of this month. So hopefully, we can be cheerful on that. Why? Because we get to meet each other again. Mind you, how much we love to stay home, but school life is one of the best part of our lives. We love to interact with our friends. It brings in good mood to ask others which section they are divided into- if one says "yes" (that is, he is in my section) then it's good; else it's bad.

After the reports there isn't anything much to do. Of course, when we get our books for the new class, it is a joy to scan through the books, cover them up and inscribe our names upon the cover. That spends the time, and slowly helps to bring our concentration back on books (Note that I'm not saying I study, but since we should, as students, learn- books will bring our concentration back on studies) And then the countdown.

5 days. 4 days. 3 days. 2 days. 1 day. BOOM! Yes, school has again started. It's not an April Fool that school is starting on the 1st of April. Rather, it's a jolt to wake us up from our dreamy eyes. It will remind to us another hard year that stands in succession to our previous class, another year of exams and another year of fun. In other words, we again have to pack our bags for the new class, a new time, afresh.

Being a Good Class Monitor: The Dummy's Guide!

By -

So students, every year there are two monitors selected from your class, right? I'm writing this article from my past experiences. This is practiced in most schools. All monitors/leaders are generally the "best boy" of the class/school (in discipline), or maybe the highest academic scorer (Well, the criteria does vary from school to school- I have written the common practice) . Observing leaders and captains from various schools, I have come to a conclusion and just decided to publish this article, as a guide. Being a leader is not that easy. One has to be taking the responsibility of his/her whole class, or perhaps, the entire school. Being a leader demands a lot from us. Some random quotes are: “Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower.” -Steve Jobs, Apple co-founder “Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other.” -John F. Kennedy “The pessimist complains about the wind. The optimist expects it to change. The leader adjust...

Why there aren't any "Good" or "Bad" Terrorism

A Candle Light Vigil in London condemning the Peshawar school attacks/Wikimedia Commons Over the last decade, there has been a exponential rise in the number of terrorism cases. From 26/11 to the Peshawar school attacks, these are horrific acts of shameless and brutal assault on innocent people. As  The Conversation  puts it, "Terrorism is some form of purposive and planned violence that has a political, religious, or ideological motivation. It is intended to coerce or intimidate and is targeted at civilians or government. Legislation prohibiting terrorism ought to have extra-territorial effect". It is an open fact that the ISI and the Pakistani Army has long nurtured extremist organisations. These organizations harbour militants in the name of Jihad, or holy wars. As long as your pet barks at others, it's fine. However, when that pet becomes a rogue stray and bites you back, that's when you suffer. That is precisely what has happened to the Pakistani Army. The...

If you are a teacher, a staff, or a principal of any school, this article is for you. Students take leave for various reasons- fever, holiday picnic, etc. There are some students, who, in the name of these excuses do not attend school, and instead, doze at home. The IIS India team has compiled a list of 'Top 10 reasons Students use for being absent' for you. Don't worry students- there is something called "luck" that determines whether you get caught for using a fake reason! #10 : Let me start with the number 10. The number 10 is a 10 upon 10 if you judge the quality of the excuse, LOL. The reason is-" The last train/bus for reaching school had departed before I reached the station/bus stand " Seems a bit funny, right? Yes, it is. This is "just a bit popular" among students, so this becomes the #10 excuse! #9 : Next comes 9, after 10. The reason number 9 is increasingly becoming popular , as students get more creative and search f...
