The objective of Jesuit education is to assist

in the fullest possible development of all God

given talents of each individual person as a

member of the human community. The kind

of transformation that Loyola wants to bring

about in our students rests on four pillars :

Social, Intellectual, Spiritual and Personal.

It seeks to engage students in the

teaching/learning process and encourages

personal and collective responsibility.

In other words, education at Loyola aims for holistic development.

Holistic education is a philosophy of education based on the premise

that each person finds identity, meaning, and purpose in life through

connections to the community, to the natural world, and to

humanitarian values such as compassion and peace. Holistic education

aims to call forth from people an intrinsic reverence for life and a

passionate love of learning. It aims at helping students be the most that

they can be.

Consider your life's greatest challenges. What did you need to know to

overcome the obstacles you faced? Consider your greatest successes.

What did you need to know in order to achieve those successes? Then

ask yourself, how many of those things that I needed to know did I learn

in school?

At Loyola we try to delegate responsibility to our students wherever

possible. With activities and competitions taking place every other day,

students are provided with ample opportunities to develop their soft

skills and thereby broaden their perspective. They are encouraged to

go beyond class room learning. Team work teaches them about

themselves, about healthy relationships and pro-social behavior, social

and emotional development and resilience.

The recently launched movie “Partly Right” made by the Dramatics

Club has attempted to provide a platform for the students not only to

hone their talent and try their leadership skills, it has also helped create

awareness about a burning social issue – that of student suicide.

I am sure Loyoleans realize how privileged they are to be studying in an

institution which gives them so many opportunities and challenges

which will ultimately prepare them for their true calling in life. We hope

you make the best use of the golden opportunities that are being

provided to you.

With best wishes,

Fr Victor F. Misquith, S.J.

THE LOYOLEAN, JAMSHEDPUR, NOVEMBER ‘11, VOL 19/2 THE LOYOLEAN, JAMSHEDPUR, NOVEMBER ‘11, VOL 19/2

The greatest sense of fulfillment comes when you live up to expectations. The Loyola Press Club had promised the readers and patrons of The Loyolean, a cartoon strip that could bring to life commonplace events that happen in a school.

The inside covers carry the first three cartoon strips designed by our Illustrators. It may not be the most striking creation in this domain, but it is definitely something that the LPC is very proud of. It has been a complete year since the idea was first thought of by our extremely gifted illustrators. None of this would have been possible without their skills.

When we first introduced the seven cartoon characters in the school assembly, some genuine faults were also pointed out. For instance, there was no proper mode of presenting the cartoon strips. If we produced one cartoon every issue, the idea would never survive. Initially, we had thought of introducing a fortnightly. However, this too didn’t materialize because we weren’t very confident of its communication ability. Any magazine/mode of communication works only if there is a connect with its readers/viewers/users. The team hopes to work out an alternative by next year.

A talk with Mrs. Leela Ghose, the first moderator of the Loyola Press Club, brought to my notice a very interesting aspect of life; tradition. Mrs. Ghose, who is a beautiful and inspiring woman and teacher, was overjoyed to see that we had preserved the symbol of the Club and had continued the serialization begun by our seniors. She told me that the logo was conceptualized by a Loyolean more than a decade back.

While it does weigh us down, tradition also prevents us from faltering. Also, a lot of value has been added to the magazine only because we retained what our seniors had passed down to us.

While we are certain that our idea will strike a chord, there is this lingering fear of losing the cartoon characters. This is one fear that will only be subdued with time.

The Loyolean is a true reflection of what is happening in our school. We introduced this cartoon strip not because we intended to show-off our expert artists. Our purpose was to depict everything that a student encounters through art. By doing this, we wouldn’t need to rely on heavy articles that don’t have a wide audience. On the other hand, visuals are something that all of us can relate to easily.

We have left a few aspects of the cartoon strip open for suggestions. The LPC sincerely requests all its readers to fill in the Feedback Form available on the last page of the magazine and submit it to the school office. This will ensure the involvement of a large number of people. This, in my opinion, will contribute a lot to the idea’s preservation.

The Loyola Press Club humbly presents to you, our most ambitious creation: the cartoon strip. We hope you like it!

We are left awed by the gallantry, the steely determination, and the raw courage of the survivors around us.

We are daunted by the hardships they had to face. Be it a war survivor or an earthquake survivor, we are numbed by the losses they have had to

endure. But in the midst of all this, we forget that we too

are actually surviving… we too are SURVIVORS.

Not a single one of s merely 'lives'. Each one of survives,

survives in their raw, harsh wilderness we call LIFE. The problems differ, the pain varies, the survival tactics are different, but, at the end of the day, each one of us 'survives'.

The human mind and the human heart that are more delicate than the leaves of touch-me-not, yet

stronger than any Kevlar coat, are put through innumerable battles in the

course of a lifespan.

Surviving death, loss, grief, heartache, pain… also surviving happiness which knocks you off your feet, love which makes

the world go round, fun, which can get you giddy. All our lives, we are surviving broken bones & broken promises, surviving the highs & the lows, surviving success & failure, love & hatred, friendship & enmity, grief & happiness.

And of course, the teen mind, vulnerable and susceptible, the teen heart, overexcited and gullible, are faced with a numerous other daggers which they need to dodge. Some such poison arrows are dodged successfully, while others strike and leave behind a scarred mind and a torn heart.

We are surviving low grades, scarce marks, strict teachers, expectant parents, 9 O' clock curfews, innumerable deadlines, and pressures of peer groups and fanatical volumes of books.

We survive intense insecurities, deathly depression, the drunken high of a tender first love, the devastating pain of a hideous first heartbreak, the dark lure of booze and drugs, the stupefying metamorphosis of some of your best buddies.

You and I will survive the confusion called puberty; survive overactive hormones and crazy mood swings and most importantly the transition from childhood to adulthood.

We will be surviving new responsibilities, heavier expectations, bigger decisions, maddening schedules and before I forget, SURVIVING LIFE.

Look inside yourself, do you now see the SURVIVOR?

DEYASINI BISWAS

Then he stood up, took out the bottle of potassium cyanide from his breast pocket, looked up towards the sky, and sent up a prayer for forgiveness, salvation, redemption et al. He knew well that he would not have much time before he would perish after consuming the fatal potion. So he looked down upon the grave and blurted - "I love you." It seemed the sentence did not end and loomed in the air. He consumed the poison. The unadulterated poison started to work.

Mr. Fernandez felt a choking sensation. He knew the time had come. He spoke aloud the last word he'd ever speak: 'jenny'. There was hardly a three second gap between his penultimate verbal action and his last word. So it sounded as if the dying man had uttered a sentence - "I love you, Jenny." He collapsed and fell on the hard stone of the grave, in such a position that his lips embarked on a word he uttered and cherished the most in his lifetime - 'Jenny'. To a layman, it would seem as if the dead man was kissing the word he loved - 'Jenny'. Jenny was dead. And now, Jenny's father also died, lying above her grave. He was a dead man. Both from inside and out.

After this, Mr. Fernandez could not pull himself together. A few days later he was found nearing a chemist's shop, the same his daughter Jenny bought the fatal potion from. This was the potion that killed both Jenny and her father. Jenny died physically, but her father morally, emotionally, spiritually and mentally. He knew well the kind of chemicals the shop displayed on its shelves. So he paid a few extra bills to get the pure unadulterated potassium cyanide, the deadly poison which could kill within seconds. He certainly didn't want to die, suffering like his daughter did. He had suffered much and now it was his time to relive himself of all his sufferings.

Mr. Fernandez got back into his car, brought back the engine to life, and drove towards the cemetery. Reaching there, he killed the engine and came out of the car. Mr. Fernandez traced his steps down the paved way to the far corner of the west wall of the cemetery, where Jenny lay in her grave, peacefully or not, Mr. Fernandez did not know. He only wished to. Reaching the grave, he found no one there. He thanked God for it. Kneeling before the grave, his hands caressed a word, which was chiseled on the grave - 'Jenny'. He cried for a full eight minutes, his hand still caressing that word.

A FATHER'S DELIRIUM

EDITORIAL WHAT LED TO THE JOGGA DEBACLE?

We went in as favorites, as the team to beat, as the reigning champions. We hoped we would come out of the tournament with the trophy and with our pride and integrity intact. Instead, the Loyola Football Team was knocked out of the JOGGA football tournament. Here is how the events unfolded.

Our first match was against St. Mary's whom we beat 3-1 having come from a goal down. Southpoint won their first match against KPS mango 10-0. We faced Southpoint the next game. It was a difficult and an interesting match. The matched ended in a 1 all draw. The next day St. Mary's then gave Southpoint a walkover. It was here that we came to know that only one team would progress from our group. If we beat KPS Mango, we would have been level on points with Southpoint. On such situations, the team with a better goal difference ( i.e. the difference between the no of goals scored minus the no of goals conceded) qualifies for the next round. In the final match, we needed to score 9 goals to go through on goal difference rule. We had to face KPS, Mango in our third match. Beating them was not the difficult part, beating them by 9 goals was. Our team stepped up and at the end of a 30min long first half, we had pumped in 7 goals. We needed just two more to qualify. It didn't seem all that difficult.

When we entered the pitch, we saw that only 7 KPS players were on the ground. A minute after the second half started, one player“limped off”. The referee said that the match will have to end because a side cannot play with less than 7 players and that the final result would be 7-0. That meant we had been knocked out. Apparently NO player was available as replacement. Here is the surprising part; there hadn't been a single foul in the entire game. How were the players injured then? It wasn't bad performance that led to the defeat but factors that we couldn't influence. The team hopes that the tournament is regulated in a better fashion next time.

Captain CLOSE - UPRAHUL ROBIN OF C H E E T A H SHow do you feel being the captain of a house set to score a hat-trick?

I am proud to hold my post as captain, at such an important time. I am fully focused on bringing the cup to our side for the third time in a row. It would be a memorable victory.

What is your game plan?

The house is preparing for a clean sweep over all awards. Personally approaching athletes is on top of my agenda. This

helps them perform better since they know that they are being trusted. On a more personal account, I am certain of clinching medals

in the long jump and triple jump events.

Whom do you consider your strongest asset for the sports day?

I consider all athletes to be strong assets. In my opinion, the final day would itself reveal who our important pillars are. Yet, I do not rule out the possibility of dark horses.

Where does your house need corrections? Why?

The house has missed out on the march-past and discipline awards for a long span of time. I want this to change. It is essential to clinch these awards along with the Championship since discipline is the key to every achievement. The march-past is the prime display of the day. So, both cannot be ignored.

How are you anticipating Sports Day?

The Sports Day (DECEMBER 9, 2011), as always, will be a grand event with intense competition and surprises that will thrill all of us.

JAIRAJ SINGH OF J A G U A R SThe post of a House Captain is very coveted. How do you feel holding it?

I have worked very hard for this post. It represents the trust of my teachers and my companions. I take great pride in holding this position.

It is not surprising to see a Jaguar win the 'Athlete of the Year' award in the prime category. What do you say?

Our members have performed very well in the ISC/ICSE Athletic Meet. It won't be wrong to say that we have an edge over others. We are armed with prior athletic experience that we will capitalize on.

You are an ace badminton player. Unfortunately we do not have such an event category. Do you consider it to be a disadvantage?

No! I have no rebellious thoughts about that. I do not see any disadvantage but only an aim to convert all available opportunities into

victories. I believe that demanding a sport that personally favours me would be very selfish and I do not intend to do it.

Do you thing Jaguars would perform better under your leadership? Why?

A year is a very short span of time in which a House Captain is expected to perform. It is a very difficult job. Nevertheless, I am a sportsman and I feel I can understand the athletes and

demands of Sports Day very well. I think I can instill a spirit of sportsmanship in the members of my house. It is a very essential component of anything to do with sports.

How are you anticipating Sports Day?

I see it as a day with the perfect balance of sports and style. It is an event that the entire school carries off very gracefully. And in all of this is

this latent spirit of competition that is very intoxicating. I am looking forward to it completely.

ZEESHAN AKRAM OF L E O P A R D SWhat will be your strategy for the Sports Day?

I will capitalize on our strengths. I will try to get as many people to participate as I can. Who knows? We may discover some new athletes. This will also increase our chances of winning an event.

You are the captain and this will be your last Sports Day. How are you feeling?It is an unparalleled feeling. I am one of the leaders of the Loyola Family and that itself makes me really proud. It has always been my dream to lead this house. Since this will be my last Sports Day, I just want to make it very special for the house, especially the 12th standard members and myself.

What do you think are the strong areas of your House?We have a pretty talented group. I feel we can really excel in the team-sport categories. Usually my House is the best in Marching and also one of the most disciplined houses. We will try to get maximum points for Marching. Also, the senior members in my House co-ordinate with each other very well. The juniors and the girls show a lot of promise. I hope we can make the most of these things.

What are your expectations from the girls' squad? How will you deal with them?I am happy I have a very good girls' squad. They are pretty good in most of the sports. They are slightly low on the discipline front. I am going to be strict about this, after all expectations are very high. And not just the girls' squad, I am going to be the same with every squad. I don't want anybody's action to reflect poorly on the house.

What impression do you want to leave on the members of your house?

I am going to try and be very approachable. For some unknown reason, there are many juniors who fear coming up to me. I want this fear to go. I am open to suggestions from everyone. I want them to see me as a friendly but passionate guy. I hope that when I leave school, Leopards will remember me as fondly as they remember our previous captains.

SANJAN PARIDA OF P A N T H E R SWhat do you have planned for Sports Day?I want to let everyone participate, not just the regulars. I will try to convince those who are good and still not participate. By doing this, I hope to churn out as many new gems as possible. We may not have the best squad but this won't deter us from working on our strengths and maximizing returns.

What type of captain are you going to be?I am going to be aggressive. When needed, I will be casual when needed but then again, I will push everyone to the limit. No compromising when it comes to the House.

And what are your strong areas?I am personally a very good marcher. I hope to instill this quality in the House. I hope we win the title for Best Marching. Sadly, we don't have many athletes this time, but the few that we do have are really good. We will be relying on them to lead the different teams and also to train the others. We have decent teams and with hard work. I don't see why we can't beat the others.

How will you deal with indiscipline? As i said earlier there will be no compromise in the name of the house. Those who mess up or cost the house points because of their indiscipline will be dealt with severely. Athlete or no athlete, anyone who is undisciplined will be dealt with severely. Also, I feel that the girls' squad of the Panther House is full of delicate darlings. Most of them don't take part in the heat and dust of Sports Day. They also don't march well. This is unacceptable. I am going to change this. I don't want our squad to lag behind. It is a tough job but I will do it.

How do you regard your captaincy and this year's Sports Day?I wanted to lead this House ever since the fourth grade. Today, I am living my dream. I can't ask for anything more. I hope to make the best of this special occasion. It will also be my last Sports Day and I have so many mixed feelings about it. I think this year's Sports Day is going to be very special.

The truth is that F1 does not only satisfy the India in 2008, nobody understood the need of taking such a needs of its select audience. In the coming years, if the sport gamble. This decision was of course welcomed by motorsport catches on, it will generate a lot of growth for various other enthusiasts, but that was about it. The Indian sporting world felt processes in the country. Formula One is a very exclusive sport.

India is indeed going to it down. A common argument was that other sporting activities benefit strategically because of this. After the recent recession, in India could benefit instead with the amount of money being many Formula One teams shut down. There is a lack of funding and invested.

DOES INDIA NEED F1?

In an age where global barriers are rapidly becoming a thing of the past, it is but natural to expect that global cultural exchange would rapidly become a common place factor. In today's changed scenario, one would not have to travel all the way to China or West Indies or Dubai to figure out how people live, the food they prefer, the festivities and traditions they follow. Cultural diversities have been poured into a global cauldron and stirred by the young generation and what emerges is a wonderful “we are the world” picture where the people, particularly youngsters, look forward to sharing things that they have learnt from their global counterparts. To catch this essence, Loyola School held a wide range of events out of which one was on the theme “New Year Celebrations” and in this context a special assembly was also held. There was a Fashion Show as part of the Teachers' Day celebration and the Children's Day Mela had a unique corner catering to this theme.

A survey carried out from among 135 students gave a clear picture on the student opinion on these issues.

F1 has finally knocked at India's doorsteps. The year 2011 is Virgin-Cosworth and Kamui Kobayashi of Sauber-Ferrari going to be a landmark not just for motorsport enthusiasts contacted. Neither of them pitted and instead had to retire. The but for all of India. Hosted at the Buddh International Indian track's potential was reached fully only because of the Circuit(BIC) by the Jaypee Group, the Indian edition of the changes that FIA brought in this year. DRS (Drag Reduction 2011 FIA Formula One World Championship was wooed System) and Kinetic Energy Recovery System (KERS) were everybody. Words of praise have even come in from greats allowed to be used. like Sir Jackie Stewart (The Flying Scotsman) who is three time The very principle of aero dynamicity in Formula One cars is to F1 World Champion. Designed by Hermann Tilke, who has create as much downforce/drag as possible. When fast moving fast circuits like Yas Marina, Abu Dhabi, and street circuits like objects move through air, its aero dynamicity decides how much Beijing International to his name, the BIC is not an easy circuit lift or downforce will act on it. For example, an air plane's wings to race on. It has almost 16 turns (look at figure nipped from are designed to make it rise up in the air (Lift). The converse is Wikipedia) and has very few table tops. The highest speed true for a Formula One Car. Engineers toil on different designs to attainable on the circuit is between Turn 3 and Turn 4 (318 ensure maximum downforce is created. Sometimes, this kph).A Formula One car can rarely reach that speed. It could downforce acts detrimental to the car's speed. This is where DRS have been possible with a V-10 engine, but new FIA comes in. The Drag Reduction involves the opening of a letter-regulations state that teams can only use 2.4 l V-8 engines. box shaped part in the rear wing of the car. This allows air to This basically means lesser power generated. In case you find move through it without obstruction.

With this efficiency of a Formula One engine is way beyond a technology, every time the driver brakes, the kinetic energy commercially traded vehicle.

Felipe Massa was and stored in a battery. the KERS is used extensively during starts and suspended before he could complete his 32nd track. Buerni for overtaking. Hamilton said in an interview that the Indian track has retired due to technical difficulties along with Maldonado a lot of positions where overtaking is possible. Unlike street races, who had some gearbox issues. The Indian audience which are basically a cheaper version of the actual circuit experienced a high-speed accident when Timo Glock of phenomena, Indians witnessed a lot of heavy-duty overtaking.

The Grand INDIAN GRAND PRIX

All cars this year used two versions(hard and soft) of Pirelli tyres. Engineers prefer to use soft tyres because after running on tracks for some time, the friction generated starts burning up the tyres and thus allowing it to stick on the tracks. This increases the stability of the cars tremendously. Telemetry machines and Accident Data Recorders (ADRs) were installed on the cars along with cameras to keep track of the driver. As usual, the survival cell of every car was designed in accordance with FIA Regulations. In case you are new to F1 and are wondering how a driver fits in, all you need to know is that engineers are instructed to make the survival cell/cockpit large enough to allow a driver to fit in with his legs stretched. Regulations state that his legs must not cross the front wheel axis. This ensures his safety in the event of an impact. The fuel used in Formula One cars is very different from regular petrol. Fuel includes blends of Nahphtenes, Olefins, Di-Olefins and Paraffins. If you are learning Organic Chemistry, then these terms are easy to comprehend.

This year's season began in Australia with Vettel winning it. After

Australia, the race progressed to Malaysia, China and then to 13

other countries. India was the 17th host of the 2011 Formula

One World Championship. Three names are reigning the

Formula One circuit. They are: Sebastian Vettel (11 victories),

Jenson Button (3 victories) and Lewis Hamilton (3 victories).

Vettel won the Indian edition very comfortably. He leaded every

lap of the race and comfortably finished ahead of Jenson Button

(2nd position) by 8.4 seconds. Vettel represents Red Bull Racing

(RBR)-Renault, which is currently leading with McLaren and

Ferrari in second and third positions. Coming in second and third

were Jenson Button and Fernando Alonso. Our very own Narain

Karthikeyan who drives for HRT-Cosworth completed at

position 17. Racing icon Michael Schumacher finished fifth. A

total of 12 teams had participated.

Sadly, Vettel couldn't recreate this Indian magic at Yas Marina,

Abu Dhabi, where he had to retire after a tyre difficulty. So, in a

way, India has been very special for Vettel.

The race was witnessed by well-known faces like Sachin

Tendulkar, Arjun Rampal, Shah Rukh Khan and others.

THE COMPONENTS WHO WON?

This is one question that the youth of our country must ask. The future of Formula One in India depends on how they answer it. Champions like Lewis Hamilton and Schumacher started their racing career with go-karting. Do not underestimate this sport because go-karting is much more difficult than driving a car. This is because a kart lacks a differential. A differential is a set of gear attached to the rear axle of a vehicle enabling the rear wheels to rotate at different speeds. My personal experience with go-karts has been terrible. It is very difficult to keep up speed at turns and finding the right braking points is essential. Also, the kart tends to skid because of the centrifugal force. Vijay Mallya owned Force India has recently started the 'One

entering Formula One. Karting is not available in Jamshedpur. However, metro cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore etc. have full fledged karting tracks. Try your luck; the next Schumacher might be you!

Nice perfume. Must you marinate in it?

We know that a number p is called a prime if it is greater than 1 and if its only positive divisors are 1 and p itself. Euclid first proved that every number greater than 1 is either itself a prime or can be written uniquely as the product of primes apart from the order in which they are written. For example, 260 = 260 = 2*2*5*13. This fact, called the fundamental theorem of Arithmetic, states that the primes are the fundamental building blocks out of which all numbers are constructed. Among the small numbers, primes are very common. There are 8 primes between 2 and 20 ( 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17 and 19). As we look at larger and larger numbers, the primes thin out. While there are four primes below 10, there are only 25 below 100 and just 168 below 1000. The density of the Prime Numbers is given by the formula : D=P(n)/N, where P(N) is the number of primes below a particular number N. Refer to the chart of densities of primes for various ranges.

function that provides information about the exact pattern of primes, how one prime comes after the preceding one. Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler introduced a function called the Zeta function in 1740. This Zeta function is given by

ƒ(s) = 1/1s + 1/2s +1/3s+….

where s is a real number. If s is equal to or less than 1, the sum becomes infinite. But if s is greater than 1, the sum has a finite answer. One may ask: what does this Zeta function have to do with the primes? Euler proved that the Zeta function is equal to the infinite product

1/ (1 - (1/2)s) *1/ (1 - (1/3)s) * 1/ (1 - (1/5)s)….

where 2, 3, 5… are prime numbers. The Zeta function is a real function. Although it is linked to the primes by Euler's infinite product, it does not have sufficient geometrical structure to help us uncover the pattern of the primes. To do that, George Friedrich Bernhard Riemann replaced the real number s by a

In 1791, Gauss at the age of just fourteen noticed that the density of the prime numbers is equal to 1/ log N. The bigger the number N, the better is the approximation. But Gauss could not prove his own conjecture in his lifetime. Hadamard and Poussin proved his conjecture in 1896. Their result is known today as the prime number theorem. This theorem tells us that though the prime numbers come in a random fashion, they thin out systematically!

I had certain expectations when I was invited. Luckily, they were met; maybe even more than what I had expected. Today I am very humbled and I feel that they(the Partly Right team) have done a job which is at par with any professional work.

The issue is also very relevant, in fact it is a national issue. In any movie, film, docu-feature, the concept is very important. After a point, the idea overrules everything. I would be foolish to say that I was looking for technical glitches. It was so beautifully portrayed that after a point, I was just enjoying. The movie really moved me.

I came down to Jamshedpur because I had never heard of a school do any such thing anywhere in India. I have been discussing with the people involved and Fr. Victor Misquith, and would like to show the movie to audiences all over India.

As far as the director, Harsh Vaibhav, is concerned, I feel it is a very big achievement for a 17-year-old. I am ever ready to extend my support to such endeavoring students. In fact, any Loyolean wanting to progress in the film industry can contact me without any inhibitions. I will do my best to help him/her out.

“PARTLY RIGHT” BUT ENTIRELY SUCCESSFULHarsh Vaibhav

Director

The idea first germinated in my mind when I was researching

about what leads to student suicide. There are three pillars on

which a student's life is based. They are his family, friends and

the society around him. This is what the film had to show. The

difficulty was in translating the idea into a script and then into

images.

Our original script was completely changed once we started

shooting. That was when we had to think on our feet. Our

teachers and students chipped in and made this task easier.

The technical aspect of the film was where all our skills were

tested.

I remember a time when we had to almost shut our shooting

down due to lack of equipment. Father Principal and other

patrons saved the day by arranging for equipment to be

transported from Kolkata in trucks. Trolleys and cameras were

all brought in from Kolkata. This did add to the superior quality

of the film but also added to the costs.

I must thank my patrons for trusting the abilities of Loyolean

students and for never having complained about the financial

aspect. Also, Mr. Amitava Ghosh, of Biponi, helped us all

through the journey. He provided even when we needed

equipment in the dead of night. Words won't be enough to

convey our gratitude.

After we shot the entire film, Tr. Shaon Mitra and I had to

shuttle between Kolkata and Jamshedpur countless times to

wrap up the editing process.

All our hard work has paid off and we have already screened

our movie in six cities, which includes Jamshedpur, Dhanbad,

Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai and New York.

We will be screening our movie at Confluence, an event to be

held at IIM-Ahmedabad. Efforts are on to get it screened at

Symbiosis, Pune and Christ College, Bangalore. As of now, we

are awaiting censorship.

difficult at all. With the good

support of the Dramatics

Club, we successfully made

the movie. I want Loyola

School to stand up for such

activities. Loyola has been, is and will continue to be

part of such activities.

As far as the issue is concerned, I would not pinpoint

on just one aspect of why students commit suicide.

A lot of factors contribute to it, and that is what the

film tries to show. Making the cast available when

required was a problem that I had to deal with. But

then I felt it was for a larger purpose and made the

required adjustments.

I even enjoyed acting in the movie. Yes, it was very

difficult too. Especially when I was asked to give

retakes. Now, I have some more sympathy for the

actors and understand why they charge so much!

Don't you sometimes feel saturated after writing JAVA programs to calculate area, volume and simple interest? So let us try something different this time. How about fiddling with the hardware components of your computer system by just writing a small JAVA program that ejects the CD ROM tray of your computer.

So here it goes:

import java.awt.Desktop;

import java.io.File;

import java.io.PrintWriter;

public class Eject

{

public static void main()

{

try

{

String a="Set oWMP = CreateObject(\"WMPlayer.OCX\")" +"\n"

+"Set colCDROMs = oWMP.cdromCollection"+"\n"

+"For d = 0 to colCDROMs.Count - 1"+"\n"

+"colCDROMS.Item(d).Eject"+"\n"

+"Next"+"\n"

+"set owmp = nothing"+ "\n"

+"set colCDROMs = nothing" + "\n"

+"wscript.Quit(0)";

file myCdTrayOpener = new File("OpenCDTray.vbs");

PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(myCDTRayOpener);

pw.print(a);

pw.flush();

pw.close();

Desktop.getDesktop().open(myCDTrayOpener);

myCDTrayOpener.deleteOnExit();

}

catch(Exception exception)

{

exception.printStackTrace();

Snakes are possibly one of the only things that are both worshipped and feared. However, in these times of development, snakes are facing extensive loss of habitat, which isn't natural. Also, we must keep in mind the fact that if human activities lead to an extinction in snake species, it is going to create a host of other problems. As we all know, the extinction of any species will lead to a population explosion of their preys.

If this happens, then our future generations will have to face extreme infestation of rodents, insects etc. From my experience of catching snakes and keeping them as pets, I have learnt that they are very calm and harmless. In the supplementing photo, I am holding a rat snake, which is common in these regions. I sincerely hope we humans start preserving the lives of these animals, which are now on the brink of extinction

They have serenaded us with songs like 'Michelle', 'I Want To still be alive today then the Beatles would have definitely Hold Your Hand', got us tear-eyed with melodies like 'Let It Be' reunited”. That would be dream come true for any Beatles fan and 'Yesterday' and got out feet tapping with numbers like today, but alas, it is not to be. Their music transcends all barriers.

They Through their music they have displayed so many various stages have rocked the lives of many people with their music for the and emotions in a person's life that people can closely relate to past 40 years.

She Makes Me Smile

On a hot midsummer night,

I couldn't see any birds in flight;

The Moon was shining just above the horizon

And I could hear only a single person's orisons.

The moon had lit up the place

But I still couldn't see her face

Below us was a hay pile

And I knew on her face was a heavenly smile

We saw the stars shooting across the sky

Even I smiled and She asked me ,”Why?”

I looked up to the sky

And I didn't want to lie

I told her “Nature shows special things only to special souls”

I told her I wanted both of us to enrol

Together into the Society of lovers

I expected a reply having 'nevers'

And the reply , Yes it came

With the 'nevers'

But the tone wasn't the same

'Never shall we part”, she said

And I knew a bond was made

A smile Spread on my face

Under the Moonlight which had lit up the place!!

ABHISHEK MOSES

You don't feel so tallWith your back against the wall

All you feel is fear and pain

Flowing through each vein.

She's only five foot five,

And you're begging her to keep you alive.

But she's got a gun to your head,

And she wants you dead.

Eyes gleaming with cruel emotion,

Scarlet nailed fingers in motion.

Trigger pulled back twisted smile on her face,

Just then your heart stops to race.

There is no flashback, no memory train,

Numbness takes over before the pain.

Less than a second, longer than forever,

Time stops, but it can never.

Bullet through your brains,

Blood is all that rains.

It splatters on the walls, drenches her dress

What a bleeding mess, oh what a bleeding mess

They say there's a lot more to life than money,

But death follows the words 'Goodbye, honey!'

Body slumps down to the floor

You can't breathe any more

And silence follows that one last breath,

As moonlight washes the face of death.

In love and war, they say all's fair

But she never loved you nor did she care.

Cold, calculating, without a heart,

No psychotic break; it was planned from the start.

She just straightens her hair, wipes the gun clean

Turns her back and walks away from the crime scene

A note with your name and the gun in your hand

What other evidence will the cops demand?
