Hotshot Summer Transfers 19/20
[Written by: Roshan Samuel, Edited by: Samud Shetty, Advised by: Shubhang Srinivasan] It’s that time of the year where managers try to offload players who failed to make their mark and pursue other players with unique potentials, and it is also the time of the year where drama doesn’t stop in just 90 minutes.

Say Anything (that I agree with): A world of trigger warnings and censorship
(Smriti Prakash, IB Year 2 + Edited by Samyukta Sounderraman) I’m about to reveal a somewhat embarrassing truth about myself. Promise not to judge. I barely survived sixth grade English Literature. The highest grade I got that year was a B5 (which, to my parents, meant I had spent the year failing). In my defense,…
Of frivolities, failures and friendships
(By Siddharth Janarthanan (sir) ) I was in grade 10 when I woke up in the middle of a night feeling anxious, bitter, small and guilty.

So Long, Farewell!
(Sakshi Sharma, IB Year 2) The 6th grade. We’ve all been there at some point, that hazy blur of strange corridors and stranger faces. Nonetheless, it plays an integral part in our secondary school years, acting as a gateway of sorts to newer and more significant experiences. Some of us may not have cared much…
Into the “real world”
(By: Shriya Prakash + Edited by Smriti Prakash) The last days of fifth grade leading up to secondary were some of the most confusing days of the year.
