The Onus is On Us:
Here we are on the brink of d-day,
We will now know how our future will sway.
The duffer, or the bluffer
Which one of them will we have to suffer.
Democracy demands we give them a chance,
But this time I think we should join in the dance.
Coz whoever they are, the men at the helm,
The country still belongs to us, not to them.
We gave them their seats, the two-seventy-two,
We voted them to power between me and you.
But whether they prove to be wise men or fools,
This nation is ours so let’s play by the rules.
Let’s not break the law, can we please stand in line,
Let’s not pull those strings to avoid paying a fine.
Let’s finally get that a red light means stop,
Let’s not stoop to bribing the poor traffic cop.
Let’s be part of the reason our country is great,
Let’s be good citizens before it’s too late.
Let’s serve our great country without hesitation,
Let’s all work together to build a strong nation.
Enough of the trolling, the barbs and the fights,
Now let’s stick together, stand up for our rights.
Enough of debates on religion and caste,
Now let’s be united, secular at last.
They might have the seats, the two-seventy-two,
But the country belongs to me and to you.
And we’re a billion people, a billion and plus,
At the end of the day, the onus is on us…
“To make democracy work, we must be a nation of participants, not simply observers. One who does not vote has no right to complain”
Louis L’Amour

26th -28th March 2019
Tata Zoological Society had organized a Nature Camp for students. The moment our Principal announced it, 10 of us jumped at the opportunity. Our excitement knew no bounds. This time we got the chance of stepping out of our houses, leaving our comfort zone and came forward together to explore nature. It was a three day Residential camp. Schools from Odisha and Jamshedpur had taken part in it.
On the first day, we had three to four sessions conducted in a row by different resource persons. We were lucky enough to meet the only lady pilot of TATA STEEL, Mrs. Harpreet Bains. Everyone was amazed to see her smart personality. She truly looked dapper in that shining blue and white uniform.
The talk on ‘Water Conversation’ by Mr. S.Mansoor Ali was hypnotic for the students present in the auditorium.
On the second day of the trip we headed for our first field trip. We were taken to the Chandil dam where we learned about pisciculture (the controlled breeding and rearing of fish). On the same day, we visited the zoo. The close view of the lions and tigers gave us goosebumps. They were continuously moving in the cage and roaring at us probably wanting to eat us.
The sight of the baby sloth bear drinking milk was adorable. We met the vet, Mr.S.K Mahato who gave some valuable information about the animals. The bonfire in the evening was great fun .
On the third and the last day of the trip we went to the Dalma Wildlife Sanctuary, where we met Ms. Rajni. No! she’s not another zoo official but a real huge elephant. She was rescued by the Tata Zoological Park and after being provided medical aid, she was sent to The Dalma Wildlife Sanctuary, where she could live in her natural habitat.
The closing ceremony was held at the TATA Zoological Park . It was a wonderful experience for all of us. We learnt about Team work, cooperation, care for Wildlife and of course we made new friends.
In the end, we would like to thank the Tata Zoological Society for organizing the Nature camp. I would also like to thank our Principal, Mrs.Lata Sharat for giving us this opportunity, to participate in the camp and teacher Ekta for accompanying us to the camp and taking good care of us.

‘Safety they say is not a gadget but a state of mind’.
It should be a common denominator across all aspects of life. To instill this belief in our students, we at J. H. Tarapore School take many steps. One such measure is celebrating the ‘Safety Week’ every year.
This year also the ‘Safety Week’ had many events being organized by the Safe Club for the students to participate in.
On the 11th of April, students of Std. IX presented ‘Nukkad Nataks’ in the Primary Assembly to educate the young students about various aspects of safety.
Their presentations were appreciated by the students and judges alike.
On 12th of April all the other classes of the High School had their events. Std VI made charts on Safety Symbols. Std VII had a slogan writing competition. Std. VIII had a story telling competition which kept the judges and the audience spell bound. Std. X entertained and educated with their Safety Jingles.
And, Std. XI and XII displayed their creativity with the collages that they made on various topics.
This year the competitions were extended to Primary Department also. On 16th of April they too had many events like chart making, collage making and jigsaw making.
The aim of all these activities is to ensure that our students understand that safety is a way of life, to be inculcated in all that they do.
The glimpse of the ‘Nukkad Nataks’ can be taken at the YouTube Channel of the J. H. Tarapore School.
