Sabahat Contractor of TY is seen here with the Best Reporter’s Trophy that she bagged at the Model United Nations held at H L college of Commerce. The United

Nations as we know, was founded in 1945 after World War II to replace the League of Nations, to stop wars between countries, and to provide a platform for dialogue. It contains multiple subsidiary organizations to carry out its missions.

Today, the UN has 193 member nations. Members of the diplomatic corps represent their respective countries at the UN. The UN functions through its’ various committees on which representatives from member nations sit and discuss issues of global concern. To develop debating and research skills and to develop interest of young students in areas such as foreign policies, trade and commerce, nuclear disarmament, MOCK or MODEL UNs are held at school and college levels. One such MODEL UN was recently held at H L College of Commerce where a team of 12 students from NRBBA participated.

CELEBRATION OF HINDI DAYChildren of K N Primary School celebrated ‘Hindi Day’ on

September 14, 2013 by making charts and appreciating the work of all the great Hindi authors and poets. They also paid hearty respect to our National Language by reciting Hindi poems.

Hardi Shah of Std 5th won first prize in INTER SCHOOL ELOCUTION

COMPETITION held by Rotary Club of Ahmadabad in Group-1. The topic was ‘I want to play’.

I am Hardi from N.R Primary School. I really want to enjoy a free life. I don’t like controls I.e.……don’t and do’s.

My school teachers give a lot of home work. They want me to read and learn a lot. So, I hardly find any time to play, to dance, to sing and to enjoy the company of my friends. We all have this problem.

Let me say school homework has become a great burden. We find very little joy and charm in life. Let me say, “What is life if full of care? I have time to stand and stare”.

We cannot enjoy the beauties of nature. Childhood is a period of little work and more play and

enjoyment. My mother again and again

asks me to read, to write and to learn.

She says “Don’t waste time”. She gets angry. She shouts and scrams if I do not obey her orders. She acts like a policeman controlling people. “Do not eat this or that”. “Do not play in the rains or sunshine”. “Do not watch T.V programmers How, can I escape?

Last week in the fitness camp majority of children were under low rate of fitness. Now I would like to ask you, who is

responsible for this? Society, school, parents, teacher?

“Really all controls and no freedom”. I want to play games. I want to run and dance. I want to sing. I want to learn playing different games. But there is no chance for me to think freely.

I have to control my feelings O God please do something for children’s happiness and joy. Really shining and bright days of childhood will fly away. After growing up, we will have more work more duties more worries….. So let our childhood period be free, fearless and full of fun and frolics.

Do not suppress our desires and dreams. We shall be highly thankful to you if you give us freedom. Let me play, let me speak and act freely. Let me sing and dance. Let me enjoy this golden perio

In tune with NatureOn Friday, 30th August

2013, we got an opportunity to visit Sundervan Nature Park. Sundervan is managed by the Department of Zoology, Central Government of India, Delhi. We saw many bamboo trees, banyan trees, peepal trees and different plants. The birds section had geese, turkey, grey guinea fowl peacock, hen, love birds etc.

Their melodious chirping filled the air. The snake section had the Indian rat snake, saw scale, viper etc. During the snake

show we learnt that we should not feed them milk or kill them. When a snake bites you, you should go to the closest government hospital and get proper treatment. We also saw variety of fish in the aquarium. This visit will stay in our memories for a long time.

REPORT ON REGIONAL SUMMIT OF SCHOOL PRINCIPALS:ADDICTION IN SCHOOL CHILDREN ~ NEW AGE CHALLENGES

By Manan Shah

The term ‘addiction’ brings to our minds images of hardcore drug addicts we

often see near bus stands, under flyovers and at railway stations. We seldom associate this term with young school going children from decent families. However, the truth is very alarming ! Many of these innocent looking children are in the grip of one or the other form of addiction. Addictions not only include physical substances one consumes such as alcohol or drugs, but may include behavioral addictions like cell phones, video games, internet, relationships etc..

When a person is addicted to something, he can’t control himself and becomes dependent on it to cope with daily life. Addiction can lead to serious problems at school, home or society at large. The addicted individual needs larger amount of addiction substances in order to get same effects. As a result,

he spends most of his waking hours either in indulging in his addiction or thinking of ways to

satisfy his addiction and is left with no time or energy for learning other worthwhile activities.

Therefore, an addicted person suffers not only from the direct effects of his addiction but also from a lot of indirect consequences like poor academic performance, relationship problems, financial difficulties and even problems with law.

One thing one should remember that habits and addiction are different. Habits are by choice and it could be good or bad. But addiction is not by choice, it is compulsion. However, bad habits can become window to addiction.

The surveys reveal that

substance addiction is more amongst boys while behavioral addiction is more amongst girls.

The following are some of the indications of an addict person :• Low understanding• Impulsive• Lack of communication• Aggressive• Lack of self-esteem / self-confidence

The summit was conducted by eminent psychologist Dr. S. Ravindran. He concluded with explaining how causes of addiction become its remedy also. The event was held at Anand Niketan school, Nr. S. G. Highway in association with ICTRC (Institute of Counselor Training Research and consultancy ) on August 30, 2013, Friday. I attended summit as a program co-ordinator representing N. R. SEC. & H. SEC. SCHOOL (GLS). I am very much thankful to Principal Mrs. Sunanda Shah for giving me this opportunity.

MOODLE- THE SOLUTION FOR PAPER BASED EXAM

By Prof. Pankti Bodiwala

Conventionally all our exams are with a pen and supplementary. We

thought of an experimental exam during the mid-terms of the BCA students in GLSICA. For this exam we decided to ask multiple choice questions and Moodle was the apt software that we planned to work on.

Moodle, Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment, is a Course Management System (CMS), also known as a Learning Management System (LMS) or a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE). Using this free web application, educators can create effective online learning sites. It can be installed on any computer that can run PHP, and can support an SQL type database. It can run on Mac, Windows or Linux operating system. It provides various features like online quiz, assignment, activities, chat, blogs, news etc.

To work, Moodle needs to be installed as a Web Server. It was a bit confusing for me as the environment was new to me. With the help of colleagues and our experiments we were successful. On the server,

information of users had to be uploaded. Users can be Administrator, Teacher or Student. Each of them gets restricted access depending on criteria. Each one is provided with username and password through which he/she can log in. The quiz was our main target. Professors had to upload the questions on server. Questions can be True/False, Multiple choice, Short questions, Long questions etc. On the other side, from client machines, students had to attempt the quiz. It provides high level of security as number of attempts for each quiz can be restricted. Also different quizzes can be shown to different groups of students. Even within a group, students get questions randomly.

The assessment of individual question is done automatically. The lists of grades are generated automatically. This saves each professor’s time. Students can also see their grades immediately, after the completion of their attempt. So Moodle is the solution for an offline exam.

Moodle is low cost, eco friendly, flexible and a secure tool for examination. Many

different types of content formats can be uploaded and available for use by the students and the professors. The most important thing is that it saves time for evaluation.

This initiative would not have been possible without my team. I heartily thank Dr. Harshal Arolkar, Prof. Tripti Dodiya, Prof. Ankit Bhavsar, Prof. Nikita Shah and Prof. Poonam Dang who guided me towards this success.

“Online exam is the best practice for Third year students, as we all are appearing for CMAT. This has made us familiar with online test. So while appearing for CMAT, we will be pretty aware about the interface. In college perspective also it is very useful as it saves time of students and faculties because it displays the result as soon as the test gets over. So no need to wait for the result and for the faculties, no need to check the paper.” says Shalu Jain, SEM-IV.

Based on the feedback from the students, we hope we can conduct more exams like this in the future.

Indians! Good News! Good News!

Now Indians should feel proud as India has its own social networking

site “Jumpbook.in”.Sometimes it is good to

think best if you start working on it to prove your words. There are many people who have proved their talent and potential to win the world. This can happen only and only if you have pure determination and confidence among yourself to achieve whatever you want to in your life. Indians are one such category of people who has proved that they are not too far to achieve great heights and are also not too inefficient to compete others, eventhough they lack with basic necessities. This has been proved by two Indian youngsters, who are in their mid 20’s, by developing a unique social networking site “Jumpbook”.

Nilay Singh and Ankur Singh, from Patna, Bihar has created a social networking website all on their own. The social networking website “Jumpbook.in” is unique in a sense that it combines the three most popular internet vibes namely the ‘Blogs’, ‘E-commerce’, and ‘Forums’. The Jumpbook has tried to cover all the aspects and all the requirements of users, for which they come to internet. Due to the combination of these three aspects in a single step, Jumpbook Jump three steps ahead of other popular social networking websites.

Creator of “Jumpbook.in”:Jumpbook.in took around 7

years to get completed. The two brothers who dropped from some ordinary colleges because of financial problems and also due to low level of education provided at those institutes had to struggle very hard to achieve their dream of providing an alternative to the other popular social networking websites. The two brothers used to develop websites and used to sell them to customers. They were earning by developing and selling websites and in the meanwhile were developing their own social networking website Jumbpook. At last they completed their website on 16th April 2013 and launched the same, the site has now around 22,000 active users in just 4 months of time.

4-in-1 Features:o Sharing and Posting.o Quiz Application.o Forum & Blog

Platform.o Uploading Pictures.Though this website is in

the stage of improvement, it can offer the features needed by and useful to the users. According to Singh Brothers, they are facing challenges on the financial fronts as they need funds to increase their server capacity. If the interested investors in this project will invest in their website, then the duo show a promising career ahead.

Are You Sure? A Story of Aesthetic World

-Published by Rigi Publication

-By Bhushan Khairnar

Each one of us wants to lead a better, more meaningful life. And to

that end, we seek gurus who we believe will show us that path or try to find our own answers through various self-help, religious and biographical books. AM of this book could

be one of us. The story sees his physical journey to a lonely and deserted sea coast and his quest to find ‘the secret of life’. He finds the symbols of the secret of life and tries to unravel their meaning. His story has further twists and turns. Throughout this journey, there are interactions shown in the form of SMSes and e-mails between AM and his friend CAN, his perfect counterfoil.

The story ends with AM and the readers realizing one of the

biggest ironies of life “Human can live a wonderful life by using his/her Common Sense without being positive-negative, certain-uncertain”.

This book gently tells us that the solution to all that ails us lies with ourselves. Through the interactions between AM and CAN, readers realize the importance of friends and a solid support system. The author draws from his

research in Semiotics (Science of Symbols) and

weaves in interesting bits of symbology that would

appeal to the reader. All in all, an interesting read.

The author Bhushan Khairnar is a faculty in

Communication Skills at NRBBA and this is his first published book. He is a researcher in Semiotics (science of symbols) and a Psychological Counselor.

Paneer KheerIngredients• To prepare Paneer • Milk - 1 lt • Lemon juice - 1 lemon • For Kheer: • Milk - 1 • Sugar - 1/2 cup • Condensed milk - 2 tbsp

(optional) • Cardamom powder - 1/4 tsp • Saffron - 4-5 strands, soaked

in a tbsp of warm milk • Raisins - fistful • Cashew nuts - 6-7, break

into small pieces • Almonds - 4-5, make slivers • Pistachios - 6-7, lightly

crushed • Ghee - 1 tbspMethod1. Take a heavy bottomed

vessel and boil milk. Once its boiled, slowly add the lemon juice and you will find that the milk will curdle and the whey will separate.

The whey will become clear which is an indication that the milk has curdled completely. Immediately add about 10-12 ice cubes and turn off flame. Leave aside for 3-4 mts.

2. Strain the whey and add the chenna to a damp cheese cloth or a light cotton cloth.

Gather the four corners of the cloth and twist it gently and rinse under cold water to remove the sourness of the lemon juice. Tie the ends and hang it at a height and allow the whey from the chenna to drain completely. Leave aside for 10 mts.

3. Remove the chenna onto a wide plate and crumble it lightly. Keep aside.

4. Toast the nuts and raisins in ghee till brown. Keep aside.

5. To prepare the kheer, take a stainless steel vessel, add milk and bring it to a boil. Reduce flame and simmer till the milk reduces to almost half the quantity. Stir constantly to avoid burning.

6. Add the soaked saffron and cardamom powder and mix. Add sugar and simmer for another 10 mts, stirring once in a while.

7. Add the crumbled paneer/

chenna and nuts and raisins. Stir for 2 mts. Add condensed milk at this stage, if using it. Its optional.

8. Bring to room temperature and chill. The kheer will thicken lightly on chilling. You can add a little milk, if required for a thinner consistency.

9. Garnish with toasted nuts and serve chilled or at room temperature.

Fresh RoastBy Dr. Jean Dsouza

It is not everyday that we find a little nook in the middle of a crowded city

that is cocooned and quiet. It is not everyday that some of us from the Voice team find a moment to re-connect and enjoy that cocoon. It is not everyday that that cocoon surprises us, refreshes and rejuvenates us.

Fresh Roast is such a place.Tucked away off the

busiest, noisiest of roads, Ashram Road, amidst the many bus-stops that Paldi is famous for, Fresh Roast is an oasis. The quiet and the class it has is almost unreal in a city like Ahmedabad. Built initially as part of the plush and high quality service apartments that owner Ravi Dalal --- set up, the cafe was intended to cater

to the needs of the guests living here. But a classy cafe is hard to hide!

We found the menu extensive, appealing to the Indian, Continental, Mexican as well as American palate. The quality and quantity of servings were awesome. And the costs were decent.

But what we most enjoyed were the drinks. The coffees were perfect, the coolers were superb and the shakes were

just right. The smell of the freshly roasted coffee beans permeated the cafe and created the kind of ambiance one would experience on the streets of tiny European holiday towns.

Speaking of ambiance, the entire unit is built out of a monumental house which was constructed by Ravi’s great-grand father about a hundred years ago. It boasts of having housed luminaries like

Gandhiji, Sardar Patel, Gulzarilal Nanda, and the like in its history. The wood-work in the entire building is nearly a 100 years old, and gives a feel of antiquity and solidness to the place. One could easily call it a Heritage site. Because it feels like one.

The taste of the coffee and the cafe lingered in mind and on the tongue through the coffee bean chocolates that were served complimentary

with the bill.All in all, Fresh Roast is

the stuff for story books settings and romantic movie backdrops; a beautiful place, delicious delicacies and lovely ambiance. We sure enjoyed ourselves!

Dreams, indeed, come true. When Dimpal joined her NCC training

she never thought that her destination was there in NCC. When she was intimated to go to Agra for Para jumping training, it was quiet new to her. She was ignorant about the type of her training but tons of courage she had. NCC cadets from Ahmedabad went to Agra by train with a conveyance officer from NCC. They were informed about the nature of training; it was unbelievable for them that for the very first time they were going to fly high in an Indian Air Force plane. Cadets were trained for ten days by highly skilled officers and trainers of the Indian Air Force and were given minute details about how to jump, the factors affecting parachute jump like wind, heat etc. It was very difficult for Dimpal to control her goosebumps, when the time came for the first jump. She felt that her training and her mentors’ blessings were with her. She jumped on the first number with chills and thrills. That day was

proud day not only for Dimpal but for family and her Sadguna Privar. Dimpal, coming from a very small town of Mokasan,

Kadi was thrilled while sharing her experiences of parachute jumping to Dr. Suhasben Jhala. Indian Air Force selects very few cadets from all over India for such a rigorous training. It is really bone breaking and nerve wracking training, through which every trainee has to pass. “I cannot believe that I did it. I feel more confident and will be always grateful to my Principal and NCC officer for giving me such a precious opportunity to prove myself”, shares Dimpal. She believes NCC to be very important for those girls who want to do something ‘HATKE’ in her life.
