(Interview: Aarthi Krishnan, with Neha Gupta + Introduction by Smriti Prakash) We all know our teachers to be superheroes. Or at the very least, a subpopulation of our species that survives with more responsibility, higher standards of expectation, and often ridiculously lesser appreciation than the rest of us mortals. Except an assembly on Teacher’s Day,…
Future of Chelsea Team Hero Eden Hazard
(Written By : Roshan Samuel + Edited by : Samud Shetty ) The Belgian International performed fantastically netting 2 goals and registering an assist to his teammate Pedro in the UEFA Europa League 2018-2019. If this were his final game for Chelsea, which it strongly would be, this would be “an incredible way to sign…
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.

I’m a Soccer For You
(Primary Writer: Rishi Agrawal + Collaborators: Raghav Jindhal, Dhaerya Chaudhri, Zain Mohammed Buhari) A horde of boys run to the football pitch the minute the bell sounds, clenching their lunchboxes in one hand and football boots in the other; some take to wearing protection, such as shin guards and others pawn their safety for agility…
The Invisible Line
(Vikram Suresh, Ishaani Maitra) I don’t know about you, but the Cold War was one of my favourite topics in History – I just found it so intriguing, the way in which the USA and USSR were pretty much in a war without actually fighting. It was so tense, in fact, that Winston Churchill famously…
Stretched and Unstressed
(Sharvani Sivakumar, IB Year 2 ) Stepping out of their regular Saturday morning routines, about 40 students gathered at our school auditorium to do something unusual- feet stomping, pretending to be forest animals, and paying attention to breathing in and out. They had come down for a school event ‘NIRVANA- From Warrior to Warrior’ organised…
Erlebnisse
(M) (n.) the experiences, positive or negative, that we feel most deeply, and through which we truly live; not mere experiences, but Experiences. I recall my first day.
