           Social Science Department - Sarita Singh                      A NEW BEGINNING……WE AND OUR WORLD Over time, from the prehistoric age to the modern age humans have always met with various challenges, yet they thrived from it and elevated themselves. Today, the world is different. Everyone has access to technology. They can express themselves, can do business with different people from around the world. People’s lives have changed from what they used to have during World War II. But still, are we done with war yet? Who’s that hidden enemy of ours? No, it’s not a person or a country. It’s climate change. We often emphasize “Individuality” over “Collectivism” which explains why we haven’t talked about climate change that often. We might have a plethora of resources to live our lives to at fullest but, we haven’t thought about our future generations. Their lives might be the same as people living...

 Maths Depatment - Deepa Nambiar Math – some random thoughts   I have been teaching mathematics for the past many years and one thing I always wondered as to why math is either liked by some or disliked by some and there are   few people who fall between these extremes.

While there are no straight answers, it is something which definitely evokes our thought process. Now let us see if we can do without knowing or understanding math. The answer is “NO” because math is very much a part of our daily lives. Anything and Everything we do has a “Math Angle” Pun intended. Be it getting up in the morning and checking the packet of milk delivered at our doorstep. Checking for the number...

Science Department - Madhubala Iyer  CONSERVE OUR PLANET’S MOST PRECIOUS RESOURCE, WATER Water is considered to be one among five basic elements required for our life. Earth being a blue planet is facing fresh water crisis! Ancient days, people dwelled into the areas where water was abundantly reachable. The importance of valuable natural resources, (water) is being realized for the rapid pace of development but unfortunately people have no value of the lethal consequences due to its unplanned way of handling. Here are some thoughts for every individual to hold the responsibility in this aspect of conserving water which is as precious as our life. Considering the present global scenario, drinking water accessibility is reducing considerably due to human activities on exploiting water for their luxurious life style.
