"The quality of Mercy is not strained 

It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven 

Upon the place beneath. It is twice blest; 

It blesseth him that gives and him that takes …" 

- William Shakespeare 

Editorial 

My dear readers, 

The theme of this year's Yearbook is 'Mercy'. When I picked up the pen to write a few 

words to you, the famous lines of the bard came to my mind, written centuries ago, yet 

so relevant today. 

When we consider ourselves individually, we are members of our families. On a wider 

perspective we belong to institutions, communities and are citizens of our country. What 

do we expect from our fellow citizens? Compassion, love, understanding, forgiveness 

and mercy. Since time immemorial, the sages have spoken about these qualities. At GH, 

we give importance to humane qualities along with academic excellence. 

Dear readers, the more we care for the happiness of others, the greater is our own sense 

of well-being. Let us learn to forgive and be merciful. Only then can we claim to be the 

best creation of God. 

Let us join hands and show mercy. Together we can make this world a beautiful place for 

ourselves and our descendants. 

With warm wishes 

Rahat Nilofer

Provincial's Message 

Iam really delighted to know that this year SFX 

Greenherald International School is going to 

publish their school magazine 2015-2016. 

Congratulations and best wishes dear sisters, 

teachers, staffs and students for your initiative to 

publish magazine. I also came to know that the 

theme of this magazine is "Mercy". Pope Francis 

declared year-2016 the Year of Mercy. "Mercy is 

kindness exercised toward the miserable and 

includes pity, compassion, forbearance, and 

gentleness, which the Scriptures so abundantly 

ascribe to God." - Charles Hodge. 

Pope Francis mentioned in one of his homily about God's Mercy-God's 

patience has to call forth in us the courage to return to Him, however 

many mistakes and sins there may be in our life. ... My merit is God's 

mercy. I am by no means lacking merits as long as He is rich in mercy. 

If the mercies of the Lord are manifold, I too will abound in merits." - 

Homily on Divine Mercy Sunday, April 7, 2013 

Our God is a merciful God. Whatever mistake we have made, if we 

come to Him with repentant heart He forgives us immediately. If God is 

merciful and patient with us all the time, it is our duty to pray to him 

always to grant us His mercy and patience in all times of our troubles 

and desperations. 

Moreover, Pope Francis encouraged the youth to continue "to be 

dreamers [who] believe in a new humanity, one that rejects hatred 

between peoples, one that refuses to see borders as barriers". 

Through education only we can cultivate the value of mercy-kindness or 

pity…We learn how to help others from our merciful heart. Formal and 

Non-Formal education is the main service for our Congregation of Our 

Lady of the Missions. Our Mother Foundress Euphrasie Barbier 

felt the need of our people particularly for the education of 

women. Therefore, Mother Euphrasie as soon as she reached in 

Chittagong, she and other sisters started to learn Bengali and 

Hindi languages in order to teach the girls. Our Mother realized 

that only education can change the society. Education is a 

process of inviting truth and possibility. It is grounded in a desire 

that at all may flourish and share in life. It is a cooperative and 

inclusive activity that looks to help people to live their lives as well 

as they can. Education is the one of the best ways to nurture to 

be a merciful to others. 

A person will be a merciful person through her/his education in 

the school, particularly through our Greenherald School, where 

students learn not only intellectual knowledge but also learn and 

practice different values in their lives. Therefore, we really feel 

very proud of you dear students that you are receiving an allround 

formation/education where you particularly learn and 

practice how to be a merciful person in our society and above all 

in our country and world at large. 

Once again I congratulate you dear Sisters, Teachers, Staffs and 

Students for your dedication and commitment to the Education in 

our Greenherald International School. May our Merciful God 

bless you all and our school abundantly. 

Sister Supriti Bibiana Costa, RNDM 

Provincial of Bangladesh Province

Message from the Principal 

Iam delighted to say a few words to you whenever I get a chance, my 

beloved students. The 2015-2016 magazine is ready for publication, 

thanks to your tireless efforts, which is an achievement in itself. It is 

obvious that you have done a lot of hard work throughout the year. The 

theme of this year's magazine is Mercy. The quality of mercy is 

undoubtedly the noblest of all virtues. The merciful God is Himself the 

source and inspiration for all to become merciful. The theme of mercy is 

very appropriate as we find ourselves in a world of increasing inhumanity. 

It is one of the darkest moments we are experiencing and we must focus 

to see the light, which only mercy and compassion can bring. 

In Greenherald, we are trying to cultivate an atmosphere of 

understanding, acceptance, tolerance and mercy. Differences in faith 

make us richer in knowledge, wisdom and culture. It is this diversity that 

makes us unique and united. 

Dear parents and guardians, we need to be vigilant against any 

negative instincts that create division. Let us help our children develop 

a positive vision and create a perfect world where we will remain "one" 

cherishing and celebrating our differences. Where we believe that we 

are all in this life together. Let us strive for a world which has no 

boundaries or divisions. 

Dear parents, please take good care of your God-given children. Give 

them the guidance, the right kind of information, which could mould 

them into good human beings. Give them a chance to develop their full 

potential later in life. Make sure they are receiving love, affection and 

appreciation from the family but not at the cost of being over indulgent. 

Correct them and reprimand them when necessary. Respect and 

reward them when they deserve it but above all, help them to build selfconfidence 

and self-esteem. Empower them and let them make the 

right choices in their lives. 

A family is the most important institution in society which is 

charged with guiding young people to become productive and 

successful citizens. Take a genuine interest in their lives and talk 

about the changes, the feelings, the struggles, the surprises, the 

dreams and the joys of growing up. Help them develop a respect 

for life, teach them how to cherish themselves and understand the 

importance and beauty of reaching out to the fellow human beings 

irrespective of their faith, cast and creed. 

I would like to end by reminding you all that “love, mercy and 

compassion are necessities, not luxuries; without them humanity 

cannot survive”. May our merciful God bless us in our pursuit to 

gaining virtue and knowledge. 

Thank you 

Sr. Virginia Asha Gomes, RNDM 

Principal & CIE Local Secretary

School Anthem 

‘T was in the year 71 

That Independence had been won 

And Bangladesh became a new land! 

The skies were heavenly blue 

When we reached year '72 

And S.F.X. Greenherld took its stand! 

Oh, Greenherald, we love you 

Oh, Greenherald, we owe you 

May we always bear your name 

Never cease to keep your fame 

And shine with gifts that you have helped us gain! 

As we stand here all as one 

May our lives, which have begun 

Never cease to praise our God and heavenly King 

And with V.K. as our guide 

Let us always firmly strive 

To keep our hearts alive so let us sing 

Oh, Greenherald, we love you 

Oh, Greenherald, we owe you 

May we always bear your name 

Never cease to keep your fame 

And shine with gifts that you have helped us gain!

offering low cost hair cut, shaves baby's head and cleans

MY DREAM 

Anindita Khan 


One day, I saw a dream that Pinto, the penguin, 

had turned all the Octonauts into jelly and they 

sang a song and went to a planet named Mars 

Pop. Pinto was sad to see this, so he turned himself into a flower. 

I smiled at him and said, "Let's go to Mars Pop, too!" He said, 

"OK!" So we flew to Mars Pop and saw Stephenie, Ariyata, Adrika, 

Alif, Amiya and Mervin. I was so surprised to see them. Then I 

played with them 

lots of games. By 

and by, Pinto was 

lost in Mars Pop. 

Suddenly I found a 

little flower and that 

was Pinto. Slowly he 

became a penguin 

again and everything 

was back to normal. 

Pinto and I were 

very happy.

THE FARMER 

Hrishin Gayen 


The farmer works in a field where they grow rice, wheat and 

vegetables for us. They have their cows and plough with them 

which they use to cultivate the land. Farmers work hard from dawn 

to dusk and they work in all seasons. Hot summer, heavy rain or cold cannot stop 

them from going to the field. In late autumn, they harvest their crops. Though they 

give us so much but they get very little in return. 

OGGY AND THE 

COCKROACHES

Oggy tries to catch the

cartoon very much. 


Prantika Bhattachargee 


My favourite season is rainy season. I like to hear 

the patter noise of the rain. There are many 

clouds in

sun does not show its face 

throughout the day. The 

drops of the rain are 

sometimes small, 

sometimes big and 

sometimes extra large. I like 

to get wet in the rain. I like 

rainy days very much.

LIFE OF A FARMER 

Ariq Ahmed 


In Bangladesh the life of a farmer is not good. He is usually 

poor, landless, illiterate. So a farmer in most cases has to work 

on land of others. He has only a pair of bullocks and some 

hand-made tools like ploughs, spades, hoes and rakes. He gets up very early in 

the morning and goes to his field to work. Mid of the day he eats his meal, takes 

some rest and again he works till sunset. A farmer is left on the mercy of nature. 

Sometimes he faces severe hardship and leads a very miserable life. He cannot 

even manage two meals a day. He cannot send his children to school and educate 

them. He is a poor farmer, who works hard in the field and grows food for all. 


77


CINDERELLA 

Nabiha Tasnim 


My favourite Cartoon is Cinderella. 

Cinderella's role is a bit different from all 

the other princesses. Cinderella was an 

orphan girl, living with her step 

mother and two step sisters. 

But Cinderella was a very 

beautiful and kind girl, and 

she always obeyed them 

but her politeness led her 

to the point of weakness. 

One day she met a prince 

in a party in the castle. He 

fell in love with 

Cinderella, and wanted 

to marry her. It is a 

wonderful story. I 

like this Cartoon 

very much. 

Cinderella's 

story is a 

very old 

story and I 

saw it many 

times.

SPRING SEASON 

Ahmad Zarif Ferdous 


Spring is the best of all seasons. Spring 

lasts only for two months, Falgoon and 

Chaitra. It is neither too hot nor too 

cold. Spring is the season of flowers. It 

makes every woodland beautiful and 

fill the air with sweet scent. Vegetables 

grow plenty in spring. It is the queen 

of all seasons. 

KEEPING OUR SURROUNDINGS CLEAN 

Angel Arshi 


We must keep our surroundings neat and clean. This will 

help us to live healthy and better lives. Keeping our 

surroundings clean will only help in the betterment of 

society. 

Waste or garbage should not be thrown anywhere, and everywhere, but we 

can use dustbins for keeping garbage or waste. Throwing garbage all over the 

place will only make our surroundings dirty and pollute the environment. 

We can keep our air fresh by planting trees. Try planting trees and plants that 

will beautify our surroundings as well as keep us healthy. Greener surroundings look beautiful and also reduce pollution 

which keep us fit and healthy. So, keep the surroundings clean and live happy and healthy lives.

VALUES OF TREES 

Meftaful Jannat Opshary 

Class I - Tulip 

OUR SISTER BARBARA 

Labiba Raida Hossain 



Trees are very useful for us. They 

support the life of living things. 

When we breathe we produce 

Co2. Trees replace this Co2 with O2. Trees prevent 

drought and floods. Trees are needed for making 

paper, furniture and houses. They are used in 

everything. We can 

rest under the cool 

shades of a tree. 

They are the 

sources of the fruits 

and flowers. Man 

must stop cutting 

more trees, 

otherwise he will 

suffer greatly. 

I love dear Sister Barbara 

who is our in-charge. I am 

very lucky to have the best 

in charge in this world. She is like our 

friend and guide. If we do any wrong, she 

shows us the right way with her lovely 

smile. She always encourages us to 

maintain discipline. We get her always 

beside us when any of us is in trouble. She 

hears our problems with patience and 

solves those with her love and care. She 

always inspires us to involve in 

extracurricular activities besides our regular 

study. We thank her from the bottom of our 

hearts and wish her long healthy life.

We went to Mysterious Alutila Cave at 1st January. It is 

in Khagrachari district. By the suggestion of our tourist 

guide we bought Red Torch and set fire in it because the cave was very 

dark. Then we went down-stairs and removed our shoes. It was risky. 

When we came in the middle it was too slippery to go. At last we reached 

at the end of the tunnel and get relieved from tension. 

It was a thrilling journey.

MIDNIGHT STRANGER 

Ishana Gayen 


It was a very cold night of December. No body could 

be seen in the Bokulpur rail station except a tea seller 

and a stray dog. A train may arrive at any time. The tea 

seller was waiting for some passengers. A train entered and left the 

station without any delay. Only one passenger came out of the train - his 

whole body was wrapped in a black shawl. He seemed to be a stranger. 

Very slowly he approached the tea stall and ordered for a cup of tea with

the sign of his hand. The tea seller placed a cup of hot tea and tried to 

read the face of the customer but he could hardly see it in the dim light 

of the hurricane. The silence of the deep night was not broken by the 

stranger's sipping of the tea. The tea seller felt like sleeping for a while 

and when he opened his eyes he found no one. He murmured, "where 

is the man, am I dreaming?" and saw a five taka note on the table which 

was the exact cost of the cup of tea. The stray dog barked once and then 

went to sleep agsin.

SMILE 

Apshara Reaz 


Smiling is infectious, 

You catch it like the flu, 

When someone smiled at 

me today, I Started smile too. 

I thought about that smile 

Then I realized its worth, 

So, if you feel a smile begin, 

Don't leave it undetected 

Let's start an epidemic quick, 

And get the world infected! 

TIGER 

Ervin Odrian Gomes 


Last summer vacation, I went to visit Singapore with 

my family. We saw many beautiful places and Zoo 

there. When I went to the Zoo, I saw many wild 

animals, but they were not kept in the cages. They were moving freely 

in the shrubs around us. But when I went to a tiger's area, I was 

surprised and afraid to see a big white tiger moving across a lake and 

eating meat very carefully. Suddenly he saw a lot of people watching 

him very closely; he gave a big roar and ran inside the jungle along with 

that piece of meat. After a while, another white tigress came and 

jumped to cross the lake. Then all visitors moved quickly inside a bus, 

because he was hungry enough and wanted to hunt. I saw a little sheep 

tied across the lake to an oak tree and the tigress hunted it. It was a 

dreadful scene that I had ever seen. But the white tigers looked very 

beautiful and have nice eyes like a soft white cat. This is the first time 

I have seen a white tiger with my own eyes and their hunting patterns 

that I will never forget.

MY FAVOURITE 

TEACHER 

(MS. SHAHANA) 

Meheli Rose Aitijjha 


Among all my teachers, Miss Shahana Ahmed 

(Shanta) is my most favourite. She is very 

pretty and she has a very kind heart. The way 

she teaches and her accent made me more 

impressive to her. She is very much caring to 

all and she always makes us understand in a 

very easy way. She is very passionate and listens 

to our every single excuse very politely. To me 

she is the an excellent teacher. I love her very 

much and I will surely miss her when I will be 

in class - III. 

The name of my little brother is Sarim Marsad 

Pranon. He has born on 15th July, 2015. Wearing a 

new dress I went to meet him. After he was born, I 

was the first person who saw him. He was so cute that I couldn't even 

move my eyes from him; tears rolled down from my eyes in joy. Many 

of our relatives visited the hospital. When I heard about his coming, I 

took lots of care of Mom, so that when he would be born, he would be 

a healthy child. Before his birth, I bought many presents for him and 

hid them in my room. When he came home, I gave him all those. Now 

he is ten months old. He can only say "eemme!" Sometimes I call him 

Prantush. He is my little angel and we both love each other very much. 

I wish he will be my best friend in the future.

GOOD HYGIENE IN CHILDREN 

Rudra Chakraborty 


Educating children on good hygiene is the best way to avoid 

the spread of infections and disorders. Teaching the principles 

of correct hygiene at an early age can help keep individuals 

healthy in later life. For this following things to be considered: 

Oral Hygiene: To keep a good oral health children should be taught about 

brushing teeth twice a day after meal. 

Hand Washing: To keep 

infections away from body 

children should be 

encouraged to wash their 

hands effectively before 

eating and after using toilet. 

Nails: The nails and nail 

beds contain germs. Nail 

biting should be discouraged 

and keeping nails short 

should be encouraged to 

maintain a germ free health. 

Bathing: Children should be taught about regular bathing because it reduced 

body odor and can help control skin problems. 

We all should say, "Good Hygiene, Good Health, Good life." 

WATER - 

SYNONYMOUS 

TO LIFE 

Rudaba Manan 


Water is very important for our life. Nothing 

can live without water. Without water, plants 

will die, can cause harm to humans and 

animals. We need water for our body's daily 

function like digestion and cleaning waste 

products of our body. Our body will become 

dry if we do not drink water properly. 

Everyday we should drink eight glasses of 

pure water to be 

healthy.

HURRAY HANDBALL 

TOURNAMENT 

Aurelius Ganauly 


MY FAVOURITE CLASSICAL 

INSTRUMENT 

Nakhatra Gilbert Francis 



S.F.X Greenherald International School 

participated in the under-10 Hurray! 

Handball Tournament 2016, in the Bangabandhu 

Handball Stadium. 10 schools participated in this 

tournament. I was a member of the Greenherald School 

boys team. We trained for about a month in our school, 

before the tournament started. On the first day of the 

tournament, our games teacher took us to the stadium for 

our first match. We were very excited to wear our jersey. 

given to us by Handball Federation. We won two matches 

but we lost one match. That's why we became the group 

runners-up. The girls’ team was in the 3rd position 

among all the team. It was a different experience for us 

because it was the first time we played outside our school. 

Hip Hip Hurray!!!! 

The tradition of Indian music is oral. The problem 

with on oral tradition is that there is much of its 

history that is documented. There are many many versions of stories 

doing the rounds as to how the instrument the tabla originates. One 

of the stories is in the court 

of the great emperor 

Akbar. In his court 

centuries back, there was 

once a duel of rhythm 

between two pakhavaj 

players. The two pakhavaj 

players were playing and 

the king was watching it. 

One of the pakhavaj 

players realized that he was 

going to lose the battle of rhythm and in frustration he bend the 

pakhavaj on the floor and the instrument broke into two parts. 

Instinctively he picked up one of the parts and he played it. There was 

a beautiful sound. So he said in Hindi or Urdu language; ‘Tabhibola’ 

that word was later recognized as tabla. And thanks to the pakhavaj 

player for whom we are being able to play the tabla. Teental is one of 

the examples of taal played in tabla.

unty. They were very rude with him. When Harry Porter was 11 

year's old. A giant man named Hagrid snatched Harry Potter away 

into a magical school 

"Hagwarts Wizardy and 

Wizarcraft School". 

The ground keepers

Noris friends of James 

and Lily Porter. Soon 

Harry could make 

friends easily at his new 

school. Harry's best 

friends were Ronald 

Weasley and Hermione 

Granger. Harry Potter 

and the chamber of 

secrets, Prisoner of 

Askaban, the order of 

Phoenix, the half bold 

Prince and the deathly 

Hallows Part-1 and Part-2 also my favourite movies. 20 

years after Harry became a man his wife Ginny Weasley

CAN ANIMALS PREDICT 

ABOUT EARTHQUAKES? 

Shadmana Shafaiat Chowdhury 


The idea that animals predict about earthquake s 

has ancient origins. In modern times it has been 

proved that animals can predict earthquakes. A psychologist named- 

"Stanley Coren", from the University of British Columbia, 

conducted a study on two hundred dogs, in late year 2000, at 

Vancouver, Canada, where he found that on February 27'2001- 47 


percent of dogs were much more active than usual and 49 percent 

were more anxious than usual, as a moderate earthquake had 

occurred in that area on the next day, i.e. on February 28th of 2001.

PLAYER OF 

BANGLADESH 

Smita Elizabeth Biswas 


The name of my favourite player of Bangladesh is 

Mustafizur Rahman . He was born at Satkhira. He is 20 

years old. He is the best bowler of the WORLD T20 CUP. 

He took five wickets in twenty-two runs. When he went 

to play in the IPL the Indians gave him the name "The 

Fizz". He played so well that many of the foreigners 

wanted to learn Bengali. He became "the man of the 

match" once in the IPL.

OUR NATURE 

Soumik Sen 


We should always love nature. It is the best 

creation of God. There are many things in 

nature. Flowers, trees, birds, animals, rivers 

the cultural 

diversity and 

uniqueness of 

human culture is also in danger in Bangladesh. Without nature 

we won't be alive. Therefore, we all should love and protect the 

nature from 

deterioration.

FIREFLYES 

Arisha Ashiq Khan 


I only saw fireflies on TV channels and 

on the internet. Once my father told 

me how they used to play with fireflies 

when they were kids, when they went 

for holidays to their village. From that very moment I 

became eager to know more about the fireflies and to see 

them in real. I 

got to know 

some facts about 

them through 

the internet. In 

many places the 

insects called 

fireflies are a 

familiar sight in 

summer. They 

are noticeable 

because they can 

produce flashes 

of light. Fireflies 

belong to the 

beetle family. 

They are also 

called glow 

warms. 

THE BEAUTY OF

Beauty is in the yellow of the sun, 

Also in the green of the trees, 

In the blue of the ocean

MY TRIP TO SYLHET 

Adel Thamid 

Class IV - Roses 

There are many beautiful places in Bangladesh. During the Easter 

holidays my family and I planned to go to Sylhet. We went by car 

and reached there after five hours. Entering this place is the most 

interesting experience. The place is covered with green hills, with 

great plantations of tea. The weather is beautiful. We settled to a hotel with hills 

inside it. The hotel was air conditioned and five star one. The name was Grand 

Sultan named after the owner of the hotel. The next day we went to one of the 

animal sanctuaries of Bangladesh. It is a rain forest and full of large trees. The name 

of the forest is Lawachhara Rain Forest. When we entered, it was very hot. We saw 

a lot of monkeys. There were many sign boards which were telling us to beware of dangerous animals; python, sloths, lizards, 

snakes and some kind of posionous insects. People who go there need a guide. People who do not have a guide will lose their way. 

There are security people for the poachers who kill the beautiful migratory birds. The sloths are the most endangered animals of 

this rain forest. It is already becoming extinct because there are only a few of them left. After we returned, it started to rain heavily. 

The hotel had many facilities. It had different kinds of games. Games like basketball, batminton and lawn tennis which are outdoor 

games. These were complimentary for us, and games like table tennis and pool were not free. There is a movie theatre with 

forty-four seats and a library with Religious, Philosphcal, Science, Bangla books. There are two swimming pools, one for the adults 

and the other for the children. I really liked this place surrounded with the beautiful tea gardens.

MOTHER 

Aye Than May 


Through centuries and through 

millenniums this word has always been a 

very dear one. It amazes me how much 

love and adoration can fit into such a tiny word. From the 

moment we were born till the end, our mothers have stood by 

our sides, to help us, to guide us, to shape us and to gradually 

prepare us for the real world. Yes, we all hate it when our 

mothers scold us for the most trivial 

of things. Trust me, we all have those 

issues, but what we often do not 

realise is that these small mistakes 

that we are making today may result 

in a big loss in future. And when 

we'll look back, we'll regret not 

listening to our mothers. 

Mothers are the finest piece of art 

that God has crafted. Mothers are 

unique, divine, significant and 

understanding and have hearts of 

gold. They spread their warmth and 

generosity through the universe and 

can touch the coldest of hearts. They 

have strong principles and are strong 

warriors. They have the whole world 

on their shoulders and yet they make it seem like a pair of wings. 

They don't see us as who we are, they see us as who we have the 

potential to be. And they remember our beauty when we feel ugly, 

our wholeness when we are broken, our innocence when we are 

guilty and our purpose when we are confused. 

If I could unite the tears, the laughter, the smiles, the frowns, the 

anger, the sadness, the happiness, the serenity, the strength, the scars, 

the blemishes, the secrets, the beauty spots, the magnificence and 

the harmony that are etched deep inside my mother's soul, then she 

would become the universe; simply breath taking. 

Mothers do so much for us, but we seem to notice only the things 

they didn't do. When my mom did not let me buy the T-shirt that 

had Panic! At The Disco plastered at the 

front or when she didn't let me eat ice cream 

because I had a slight cough. I was so upset 

and grumbled about how she did not love 

me at all. But as I write this, the realization 

dawns upon me and I know now that love 

doesn't necessarily need to be seen, it needs 

to be felt. I guess we're all still learning to 

recognise the ways in which this creature 

works. 

So, let's set this aside for once and appreciate 

our mothers and help them when they need 

it, make them smile and laugh, show them 

hope and light when there are upset and love 

them unconditionally for as long as the 

world allows, because if you don't I swear 

you'll regret it.

J.K. ROWLING 

Koushin Unber 


J. K. Rowling is the queen of literature, a 

breathtaking, an awe-inspiring novelist. The 

one who opened the hearts of many young 

readers, the one and only J.K. Rowling. 

Joanne Rowling (aka Robert Galbraith); born 31 July 1965, is a 

British novelist, screenwriter and film producer best known as 

the author of the Harry Potter fantasy series. She was born in Yate, 

Gloucestershire, England but the family moved to the nearby 

village Winterbourne when Rowling was four. 

She attended St. Michael's Primary School. As a child, Rowling 

often wrote fantasy stories which she frequently read to her sister, 

Dianne Rowling. 

After a year of study in Paris, Rowling graduated from the 

University of Exeter in 1986 and moved to London to work as a 

researcher and bilingual secretary for Amnesty International and 

this is where she conceived the idea for the Harry Potter series. In 

1990, Rowling's mother died and her death heavily affected 

Rowling's writing. She 

was married to Jorge 

Arantes in 1992 and 

had a daughter, but 

later they separated. 

J.K. Rowling's many 

books consist of: The 

Harry Potter Series (7 

books), Fantastic 

Beasts and Where to 

Find Them, Quidditch Through the Ages, The Casual Vacancy, Harry Potter and the 

Cursed Child, The Silkworm and many others. 

I am a big fan of Harry Potter and am currently on the 5th book. Everyone loves J.K. 

Rowling and her stories because she has a marvelous mind for writing all these amazing 

books. I recommend you to read them because they are, without doubt, amazing! 


Sabyashachi Roy 


My favourite game is 

cricket. It was 

introduced by France 

and its birth place is 

considered as England. Eleven Players 

participate in this game in each team. In 

earlier times children used to play village 

'Gollachhut', 'Kanamachhi', 'Dariyabanda', 

'Bouchi', 'Football' etc but now they are 

crazy about Cricket. In Cricket there are 

batsmen, wicket keeper, bowlers and 

fielders to play the game. The Umpires 

decide whether it is No ball, L.B.W., Wide, Not out, Six or Four. In Bangladesh 

team my favourite player is Mushfiqur Rahim and from foreign teams Jason Roy 

of England and M. S. Dhoni of India. They play good cricket. I would like to play 

cricket like them. 

I have a dream. I want to see an international match in the stadium, especially 

Bangladesh-India or Bangladesh-England match. Whenever I get the opportunity 

I would like to go to Mirpur stadium to see a match.

Class IV - Tulips 

I had my summer vacation from the 19th 

of June, 2015. During that time I went to 

the USA with my parents. We travelled by 

Emirates Airlines and we had a transit in Dubai for 12 hours. 

In Dubai, We went to the tallest building in the world named 

'Burj-al-Khalifah. It was a very beautiful sight. Then we 

went to our hotel. At 6:00 am we went to the airport for our 

destination, Texas, USA. It was an 18 hours direct flight and 

finally we reached Houston Intercontinental Airport. We 

went to my uncle's house at Dallas from the airport. There 

was a cute little girl named Samar. She is my cousin. I played 

all the time with her. 

Beside Texas, we visited some more famous places. The 

Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, Manhattan, Coney Islands etc. 

in New York. The Statue of Liberty holds a tablet in one 

hand and a torch in the other. We visited the white House, 

American President's office in Washington DC in Virginia. 

We also visited Little Rock in Arkansas, home town of 

former US president Mr. Bill Clinton. 

In Texas, we visited NASA space station. I jumped from 

Mars to Earth there. We visited former President George 

Bush’s city and many more. I got many pictures there. I 

really enjoyed the trip very much.

THE AGE OF THE 

UNIVERSE AND 

THE END 

Ricky Barua 


We all know that our Earth was formed between 4 to 5 

billion years ago. Our first universe age was The Dark 

Age dating back to 380,000 billion years from now, when 

even the Sun was not formed. Dark stars with bitterly 

cold space began and slowly after 180,000 billion years 

heat and magnetic cells gathered and space rocks were 

formed. After 1 billion years, stars were to be formed. In 

less than 21 billion years our stars were formed. Now is 

the time for the Sun. The tiny fractions of seconds 

formed gradually. But before time was super mystery 

which no one could find out. Oh, sorry I have forgotten 

to tell you about the first second of the universe, the 

Epoch and the cosmological time. Of course with less 

than 13.8777777 years ago the universe was formed. 

Within less than 13 billion years Big Bang explosion took 

place with the red nebula and it formed into a disk which is our Sun. The Earth 

was formed afterwar. 

The end of the universe: First the Sun became the giant in the space and finally 

destroyed the other planets and stars. And finally after 5 billion years our Earth had 

"lava seas". The Stelliferous Era ended as stars eventually died and fewer were born 

to replace them leading to a dark universe. Various theories suggest a number of 

subsequent possibilities. Assuming proton decay, matter may eventually evaporate 

into a Dark Era (heat death). Alternatively the universe may collapse in a Big 

Crunch. Alternative suggestions include a false vacuum catastrophe or a Big Rip as 

possible ends to the universe. 

AN AUTO BIOGRAPHY OF A 

BOOK 

Abraham Shalokko khan 


Hello! I am a book and my name 

is "ARABIAN NIGHTS". At the 

outset I was kept in a library. I saw many people in the 

library anxiously looking for various books. But I was 

situated in such a place that none could find me. Every month the Librarian put 

new books and they rearranged all the books and I always hoped they set me in a 

place everyone could see me but in vain. 

One day I fell from my shelf by a person who took a book beside me. I got hurt, 

and that time someone saw me and bought me. Seemed that the person who 

bought me was very rich. And since then I have been kept in a very nice place. 

I have made many friends and many great things have happened, all my series of 

books have been here and from then onwards the wheel of my fortune has turned. 

THANKS!

MAGIC 

Yasa Zaheen 


This is an amazing magic trick of 

prediction. Your audience would be 

amazed to see this trick. The materials 

needed for this trick are: two large paper 

bags, small 

pieces of paper 

to write, one 

pen & a fruit. 

The magician 

chooses two 

volunteers 

randomly from 

the audience. One of them would be holding the bag with 

the pieces of paper, and the other one would be holding 

another bag in which there is the fruit that the magician had 

predicted. First the magician gives one bag to each of the 

volunteers. The magician tells the audience to name some 

fruit one by one. 

Each time the 

magician writes 

the name of the 

fruit on the 

piece of paper 

and drops the 

piece of paper in 

to the volunteer's 

bag who was 

supposed to be 

holding the pieces 

of paper. Then 

when the 

magician thinks 

OK, this many 

names are fine he stops the audience from saying any more 

name. Then the magician calls the volunteer with the paper. 

After this, the magician mixes the bag with the pieces of paper 

and tells the volunteer to close his/her eyes and tells him/her 

to pick any on piece of paper from the bag. Once the 

volunteer chooses the paper, the magician reads the paper out 

loud to the audience for example 

"Apple." Then the 

magician tells the 

other volunteer to 

put his/her hand 

in his/her bag 

and tell him/her 

to take the thing 

out. Amazingly 

the thing would 

be an apple. 

Secret: While writing 

the magician writes only apple 

in all the papers instead of writing different. And before the 

magic the magician puts an apple in the bag.

A VISIT TO COX'S 

BAZAR SEA-BEACH 

Shayanto Nawar 


We had a long summer vacation in 

last July and August and we decided 

to go on a trip to Cox's Bazar, the longest unbroken 

sea beach in the world and the top tourist 

destination of Bangladesh. We were 10 people 

(my family, my mother's colleagues and 

their children). All of them came to our 

house and we have started our journey 

from there at 9 am. We enjoyed a lot in 

the bus. After thirteen hours we 

reached Cox's Bazar at 10 pm. We 

stayed in a hotel named 'Prashad 

Paradise' in Cox's Bazar. The hotel was 

very near to the beach. We could see the 

beach from our room. This was for the 

first time I went there, so I was very 

excited and my mother took my brother 

and me to the beach for a short time. In the 

next morning, we woke up early and went to the 

beach with my father. My younger brother and I 

collected shells from the beach. We made a sand castle 

but the waves destroyed it. We were sad for a moment 

but the next moment we decided to make a new one 

further away from the sea. We rode on a motor bike for two hours and 

saw the sparkling beach in the light of the bright sun. 

My father told us that it is a total of 125 kilometre long sea beach and 

the name Cox's Bazar was derived from its founder, Captain Cox. He 

founded this very attractive beach in 1798. Next morning, we went to 

the beach and rode a motor bike. In the afternoon, we went to the 

Kolatoli and Laboni beach. We visited other tourist attractions around 

Cox's Bazar by a Jeep. Next day, in the morning, we went to the Inani 

beach where corals were all around. It is bordered by 

hills and forests. We saw seashells of different 

colours, shapes and sizes. We also visited 

Himchori, which is famous for Himchari 

Waterfall and its natural beauty. We also 

visited Aggmeda Khyang, a large 

elaborately planned and decorated 

Buddhist Monastery. It is located near 

the entrance to the Cox's Bazar town. 

The monastery holds a big collection of 

manuscripts, prayer chamber, bronze 

Buddha images of Burmese origin and 

an assembly hall. Lastly, we had a drive to 

a small town called Teknaf which is about 

80 km from Cox's Bazar. It was a memorable 

experience as the roads go alongside the 

beautiful Naf river and through forested hilly 

roads. Teknaf is the southernmost point of Bangladesh 

and is bordered by Myanmar. We stayed there for four days and spent 

many wonderful moments there. When I flew to Dhaka by air, I 

missed every moment of the visit.

A JOURNEY BY 

TRAIN 

Musabbir Uddin Arham 


I've always wanted to go on a train 

ride. Mom and Dad surprised me 

one day after dinner, when they said that the whole 

family was going to Grandma and Grandpa by train. I 

was so excited that I couldn't even eat the chocolate 

pudding Mom had made for dessert. 

We left one Saturday morning after breakfast. We drove 

into the town, parking in next to the station. We looked 

around the station, which was really big. Then we heard 

an announcement over the loudspeaker: a booming 

voice said our train was ready for boarding. 

We walked through a tunnel with shiny floors, then up 

a stairway. There were two rows of windows one above 

the other. My Dad said it was a car lounge, where people 

talked and set to look at the passing scenery. 

The conductor came to our compartment a few minutes 

later. He took our tickets and told us the on lounge right 

next door was open and that they would serve lunch in 

two hours. I smiled at Mom as he said it. We walked to 

the on lounge as the train started to move. I could hardly 

tell at first, but the noise was loud and the floor moved 

as we walked. I sat in the lower berth. There were 

others, too. We ate popcorn and drank soft drinks. It was 

fun! Later, Mom and 

Dad came down and 

said it was time to eat. 

I spent the rest of the 

afternoon wandering 

between our 

compartment and the 

on lounge. I liked our 

compartment, because 

Dad pulled down the 

upper bunk and let me play up there. There were lots of coat hooks that 

folded out of the wall, and I hung things on them all. Later, I played 

checkers with Dad. He's not a very good player - I almost always won. 

When I climbed up, the night had become dark. We couldn't see much 

outside anymore, since there was no light. I turned on a night light above 

my bed, so I could read. I looked at a comic book, but it only took a few 

minutes for my eyelids to get heavy. So, I turned off the light and went to 

sleep. 

The next morning the sun was shining and there were green pine trees 

around. We ate breakfast in the dining car, where the chef made me a 

pancake with a smiling face on it. When we slowed to a stop at the station, 

Grandma and Grandpa were waiting for us. They hugged us and asked if 

we had a good trip. I said that we sure did. The train stayed in the station 

for only five minutes or so, and I sadly waved goodbye when it left. I 

walked away, holding my Mom's hand. 

I asked Dad if we could take the train again the next time we visit Grandma 

and Grandpa. He said we could. I'll keep reminding him so that he doesn't 

forget.

4 YEARS IN 

ENGLAND 

Shreas Labib Arion 

Class IV - Daisies 

I went to England in December, 2009 

because of my father's was 

completing his Phd. Our first stop was Qatar Airport. 

There we stayed for about three hours and then set out 

for London. My first experience of snow was the 

moment we landed. It was so cold 

there that I was shivering. The first 

days we were in London, we went to 

many places in London like the art 

gallery, London Eye Tower, Thames 

River, etc. We hired a taxi and headed 

for Reading. On our way we saw 

many farms which had animals like 

goats, sheep, horses, etc. On the way 

we also saw many oat fields. After a few days, I was admitted to a 

school called Alfred Sutton Primary School. The experience there 

was really good one because the teachers were very friendly and 

helpful. There was no pressure for us in studying and they also gave 

us free fruits, snacks and milk whenever we went out to play. They 

also used to take us for outings. The schools in England and 

Bangladesh are really different because in England there was no 

pressure us and we did all our learning through fun activities. A few 

years later we went to visit the house of Shakespeare. It was located 

in Stratford-upon-Avon. We went there by a train. There was a flood 

of tourists in Shakespeare's house. The house was the same as it was 

when he lived. His bed and his swing were in the same place. There 

were also two people acting in the play Romeo and Juliet. We also 

went to an island in England called Isle of Wight near Southampton. 

We went there by a gigantic ferry which took us about an hour. In 

front of almost every house we saw a small private 

plane. Lots of rich people live there and the island is 

mostly hilly. In England, during the summer time what 

really surprised me was that when we had our dinner 

at 9:00 pm the sun was still there. The other thing is 

that in winter the sun sets at 3:00 pm, plus the winter 

season and the rainy season were together!!! 

I spent four years in England with a lot of fun and wish 

to go there again.

SIR JAGADISH 

CHANDRA 

BOSE 

Anusree Chakraborty 


Throughout our history, there have been 

many great men who accomplished many 

great things that have benefited human 

kind. Sir Jagadish Chandra Bose was one of 

them. Children of my age know very little 

of his discoveries and contributions to 

science. 

Acharya Sir Jagadish Chandra Bose was a 

polymath, physicist, biologist, botanist, 

archaeologist, as well as an early writer of 

science fiction. He was the first to invent 

radio and microwave optics. He made very 

significant contributions to plant science 

and laid the foundations of experimental 

science in the Indian subcontinent. He is 

also considered as the father of Bengali 

science fiction. He also invented the 

crescograph. A crater on the moon has 

been named to honour him. 

Sir Bose was born in Mymensingh on 30 November 1858. His father Bhagawan 

Chandra Bose worked as a Deputy Magistrate in Faridpur. After completion of his 

studies in London, he joined the Presidency College of the University of Calcutta 

as a Professor of Physics. He made remarkable progress in his research of remote 

wireless signalling and was the first to use 

semiconductor junctions to detect radio 

signals. However, instead of trying to gain 

commercial benefit from this 

invention, Bose made his inventions 

public in order to allow others to 

further develop his research. 

Sir Jagadish Bose also discovered 

that plant has life like other 

animals. He subsequently made 

a number of pioneering 

discoveries in plant physiology. 

He used his own invention, the 

crescograph, to measure plant 

response to various stimuli and 

thereby scientifically proved 

parallelism between animal and plant 

tissues. 

Sir Jagadish Chandra Bose died on 23 November 

1937 in Kolkata.

WEATHER 

Arshprit-Al-Porom 


BRAIN STORY 

Fahimur Rahman Chowdhury 



Weather is the state of the atmosphere, to the degree that is 

hot or cold, dry or wet, calm or stormy, clear or cloudy. 

Most weather phenomena occur in the troposphere, just 

below the stratosphere. Weather refers to day - to - day temperature and the 

precipitation activity, whereas climate is the term for the statistics of 

atmospheric condition over long periods of time. When used without 

qualification, “weather” is generally understood to mean the weather of 

earth. 

As extreme weather increases, Bangladesh braces for the worst. Scientists are 

predicting that warming conditions will bring more frequent and more 

intense extreme weather 

conditions. Their warnings hit 

home in densely populated 

areas in Bangladesh, which 

historically had been hit by 

devastating sea surges and 

cyclones.

Sultan Tea Resort. My relatives also went there with us. 

Grand Sultan is a very beautiful place. It is located at Srimongol in Sylhet. 

Before going to start our journey I packed my bag and went to sleep. In 

the morning , 6:00 

a.m. we went to the 

Kamalapur Railway 

Station and waited 

for the train . It took 

us 3hours to reach 

Srimongol . A car 

came from the hotel 

to take us to Grand 

Sultan. On the way, a 

man from the hotel 

showed us lots of tea garden and some tourist 

place of Srimongol. We reached Grand Sultan at 

10 o' clock. We were surprised to see such a nice 

resort. It has three swimming pools, two 

children's playground, basketball court , golf 

court, movie theater, library and many other 

things. Their food was very good. We stayed for 

two days there. We had a lots of fun in Grand 

Sultan Resort. Hope I go there once again.

WORLD WAR I: A TALE 

OF SORROWS 

Ayaz Hamid Jaiyan 

Class V - Tulips 

World War I was one of the largest war in 

history. It is estimated that about 17 million 

people died in this war. The entire Europe was mobilized for 

this war. And after the German U-boats attacked the British 

liner RMS Lusitania which carried 128 American passengers, 

the United States entered the war. But what caused this war? 

Let's find out. 

The war was triggered by the assassination of Archduke 

Franz Ferdinand of Austria, who was heir to the throne of 

the Austro-Hungary Empire. He was shot by Serbian 

student Gavrilo Princip in Sarajevo on 28 June, 1914.After 

this incident, the Austro-Hungary Empire declared war on 

Serbia and invaded it on 28 July, 1914.As the Russian Empire 

was in favor of the Serbians, they mobilized their troops in 

order to attack the Austro-Hungarians in the Eastern 

Front. Meanwhile, the German Empire invaded Belgium 

and Luxembourg. Why did they invade it? Well, there are 

several reasons. But what I know is that Germany was an 

ally of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Before the war, 

both empires formed an alliance called the Duel Alliance. 

However, Germany didn't support Austro-Hungarians 

that much. They were just looking for excuses to expand 

their empire. So, after the German invasion of Belgium, 

United Kingdom declared war on Germany as the British 

were in support of Belgium. Slowly, the war started. The 

United Kingdom, Russian Empire, France and some 

other countries such as Romania and Greece formed the 

Triple Entente. Germany, Austria-Hungary, Ottoman 

Empire and Bulgaria formed the Central Powers. The war 

was intense. Even though the United Kingdom was the 

best prepared nation for the war, neither side had an 

advantage. At first, it seemed as if the Triple Entente 

would lose the war as the Russian government collapsed 

and had to sign a treaty with the German Empire. This 

was a big victory for the Germans as Russia was one of the 

144

largest empire at that time. The war was disastrous. Even chemical weapons were used during the war. However, the tide changed 

as the United States and Japan entered the war in 1917. With fresh new troops against them the Central Powers lost and the war 

ended. However, so many countless lives were lost, that World War 1 was considered the war to end all wars because of its massive 

impact of unrest on Europe. It was actually, not the last Great War in history as World War II was launched shortly after.

WHERE ARE WE 

HEADING? 

Orthi Onupom 

Class VIII - Jupiter 

The scorching sun dried up the 

creeks and lakes in the north and the 

raging rivers were reduced to shallow streams; yet 

there was no water to replace it. The people trembled 

under the garish light of the summer sun and suffered 

from long days of unquenched thirst. The once 

flowing rivers were now ditches full of stagnant water. 

People drew water from the wells but even they were 

drying up. Generally, it was the melting of the ice 

from the Himalayas that supplied the gallons of fresh 

water flowing through this riverine country, but not 

anymore. The government of the neighbouring 

country had put a dam in purlieu of the borders 

retaining all the water for themselves and none for 

their neighbours on the other side. And the people 

suffered silently for they could not voice their plight. 

Those who could did not suffer and those who 

suffered could not speak up. 

The water retained was more than the people of the 

country needed. Its uses went far beyond simply 

drinking to remain hydrated. It served to provide 

huge incomes which in turn brought luxury and 

comfort and extravagance to important figures. They 

knew nothing of the sufferings they had inflicted and 

if they did they turned a blind eye. The newspapers and media spoke of 

the dam as'a big success'. It had helped boost the economy - the 

thousands of people dying of thirst and water-borne diseases as a result 

were just casualties in the long run. After all, they had their own thirsts 

to quench - their thirst for wealth. And in order to do so, they had taken 

away what rightly belonged to everyone regardless of nationality or 

social status. But that doesn't really make much sense, does it? Aren't we 

always taught to think of others before we think of ourselves? Isn't that 

the first rule you must follow to be a leader? I believed so. 

At one point during the World Wars and Civil Wars, the arms industries 

were at their peaks. But then it all settled down. There were 

disagreements and riots but nothing that required heavy artillery. The 

weapons industries thrived but they lost the inflow of customers. And 

so the owners felt the loss and as a result the politicians felt a loss - a loss 

in their 'trifling' extra incomes. At length, they conjured up a way to set 

the industries back on their prosperous path. They needed a war. So 

they nudged vulnerable countries, races - set them up against each other 

- promised to provide backup, made alliances. They started a war. Entire 

towns were wiped out, thousands were killed, many more made 

homeless, many children made orphans. The entire region was labelled 

by these very people as insecure and unsettled. And for what? Just so 

that the factory owners could get what they wanted - more wealth. The 

wrecked cities, the howls of anguish, they were casualties that could not 

be helped. After all, they had their own families to think of. Plus, the 

politicians would benefit from the industries and so would the 

government - taxes and all. And then this money would be used to 

improve infrastructure and increase increments and provide support. 

And so it would go back to the people, wouldn't it? It is their own 

wealth. That's what they told themselves and the others. But from the 

time we started learning, weren't we always kept from fighting, from 

156

hurting people? We were always taught that peace was an 

important factor in human life, something we should always 

try to keep. It is the combined effort of the leaders and the 

people that can help retain peace. But how can we keep 

peace if we jump at any chance we get to destroy it just 

because it may make us rich? 

Differences have always brought a reaction out of people 

which is why Cortez killed the Aztecs when he reached the 

New Continent. He did not want to share with or yield to 

those who looked and lived differently from him - those he 

thought were inferior to him. A similar notion persists today. 

And from there sprouts racism and discrimination - a 

shocking problem in the present world. The wealth to be 

preserved here is not money but our superiority, our control. 

The minorities due to fewer numbers or their down-toearth 

simplicity are always overruled and exploited....A girl 

can never lead as efficiently as a man. They are too weak and 

emotional...This is our territory and we decide who can 

enter and who can't; and I say, "NO REFUGEES 

ALLOWED".... These lines are haunting examples of the 

many hurtful judgements passed onto people who are either 

prejudicially considered weak or physically appear different. 

That is what we have done...we have taken a whole, 

complete sphere known as the world and marred it with 

both physical and racial borders all over the landmasses. We 

have created the differences and we have set the bench 

marks...Whatever happened to equality, uniformity? Isn't 

that why we have uniforms in school? So that we can learn 

to treat each other as equals? Isn't that what makes a leader - 

a sense of fellowship? That's what I was taught, at least. 

You see, the world today runs after wealth - and dignity, and 

power, and fame - and so caught up are we in our wild goose 

chases, that we forget what matters the most. This is not to say that 

tolerance and equality are extinct. Not at all. There are many 

regions even today where race and colour and politics and money 

do not shape people's lives - where people live as people and not 

as killing machines or heartless robots set on doing what they have 

been commanded to do. But their numbers are dwindling 

between single digits now. We are all different if we come to think 

of it. All of us have unique personalities and it is in our uniqueness 

that we have our similarities. Each of us is unique! And therefore, 

we should know how it feels to be different and so instead of 

shoving it away, we should embrace it. There is one more thing we 

all have and that is our buried humanity. It is what we have in 

common and it is the wealth all of us possess. It is also the one 

thing many of us fail to nurture. After all, this is an issue 

frequently spoken of today. We must distribute our wealth equally. 

We must help our brothers in distress. We must unite in order to 

end this war. We must all financially contribute as much as we can. 

We must...We must...We must... It is what we hear our leaders and 

preachers say all the time. But maybe, it isn't capital wealth that we 

actually need to share. Maybe the wealth we need isn't resources 

or donations or deeds. Maybe the wealth we need is the grace of 

kindness, the spark of unity, the notion of equality, the desire to 

love and the need to help. Maybe what we need is the willingness 

to think about others, even if just for a moment. What we need is 

the thirst to be the cause of a smile. To have a heart. To be humane. 

Maybe all the wealth we ever need is "the wealth we have in 

common".

HOW CAN WE BALANCE 

THE NEED OF THE 

INDIVIDUAL WITH THE 

NEED OF THE CROWD? 

Veronica Cheryl Gomes 

Class IX - Mars 

In 1943, Abraham Maslow proposed a theory in his paper, 'A Theory 

of Human Motivation' which states that humans have five levels of 

needs which can be represented as the hierarchy of needs. Although 

this is meant to identify with the needs of the human population as a 

whole but I believe this is only a rough summary of the necessities of 

the exceptionally complex beings known as humans. 

Each individual on this earth is different. Each one has different 

mindsets, different ways of thinking, different opinions and of course, 

different requirements to survive on this earth. Looking around a 

crowded room you can never be absolutely sure about what a person 

needs in that exact moment. It can be as simple as a hug or as 

complicated as a reason to live. Human beings are intricate 

individuals, each one with a unique set of skills, goals and beliefs and 

that is why it is rather difficult to balance one's specific needs with that 

of the crowd. 

The human race has a long history of out casting 

people who are different from them. That is why 

even though people have learned to live by the 

boundaries set by the common people, it does 

not mean that their needs are being taken care of. 

Even though it is the 21st century, people still 

have to fight for their rights. Transgender people 

are often viewed in a rather negative demeanor 

in societies. They are not given proper jobs, 

residencies or the respect of a proper human 

being. The LGBT community often faces this 

kind of discrimination. In many parts of the 

world, transgenders struggle to receive 

recognition as human beings in the society. 

Their need for acceptance and their struggle for 

identity is one of the most discussed topics of the 

world today. If the needs of the individual have 

to be balanced with those of the crowd then the 

needs of the transgender people should also be 

taken into consideration as they are also human 

beings and should be treated as such. 

In most South-Asian countries, women are not 

given many opportunities to think for 

themselves because they are still considered 

162

inferior to men. Their needs are often not given any 

heed. For example, when a girl is robbed from the 

opportunity of a higher education, her need for 

knowledge is not being fulfilled. Or when she is 

forced to marry early and put a stop to her dreams to 

raise a family, her need to accomplish what she wanted 

in life remains dissatisfied. Due to many cultural and 

religious traditions and rules, the needs of women are 

being pushed aside. Female infanticide is also a big 

issue in these countries. In India alone, 2000 girl 

children are killed every day because daughters are 

considered to be undesirable in India's highly 

patriarchal society. This is truly appalling. Women 

should not be thought as burdens but as blessings to a 

family. Daughters should be brought up with the same 

values as sons and should be given the same 

opportunities. Women should be seen as equals to 

men and their needs should be given the same 

importance that is given to the needs of men. 

Although the South-Asian society has come a long 

way, there's still a long way to go. The needs of the 

individual and the crowd can only be balanced when 

people become more open-minded and less 

judgmental. It can only happen when people are 

allowed to do what they want to, given it's not 

something that would cause serious damage to them 

or their surroundings. Society needs to be more 

tolerant towards people who are different from them 

because God created each human being to be one of 

a kind and unique. The needs of the individual can 

be balanced with the needs of the crowd only when 

everyone's needs are taken care of, which is only 

possible when everyone learns to accept and respect 

each other in the society and value the differences 

present in others.

ARE WE REALLY SO 

DIFFERENT? 

Sahar Islam 

Class IX - Jupiter 

All human beings are separate individuals. 

All of us are unique in our own way. Our 

personality shows the various aspects in our character which 

makes us different from others. Each individual has a particular 

quality which someone else might not have. 

As an individual being, I know my qualities and traits which 

separates me from others. I consider myself to be polite, well 

behaved, friendly and kind. Someone else might be the exact 

opposite of what I believe myself to be. 

Majority of the people are humane. They believe in humanity 

and cannot bear to tolerate others in pain. The rest are selfish. 

Whatever they do they always have an ulterior motive. They are 

blinded by the possibility of gaining something in return for 

their favours. Among the selfish, few might have shown some 

respect for compassion. As the years passed, they experienced 

suffering which has made them insensitive today. 

From my personal experience, majority of my friends were 

selfish whereas two to three of them were loyal to me. I was used 

as a shield to protect my "so called friends" from harm. When I 

realized what they were, it was too late. They did not need me 

anymore, so they stopped all communication with me. They 

always had a motive when it came to communicating with me. I was nothing 

more than a scapegoat to them, and I was too naive to understand their true 

intentions. 

Hatred and revenge are two traits which consumes all that is good. When 

someone close to us proves to be a traitor, it hurts. That is when the 'betrayed' feel 

an inexplicable surge of hatred and revenge towards the traitor. They want to take 

every possible measure to hurt the betrayer, to inflict pain so that he/she finds it 

hard to recover. Hatred and revenge are two despicable traits which one must 

learn to control. Many of us are incapable of controlling the feeling of taking 

revenge when someone inflicts pain on us, someone we thought could never hurt 

us, someone with whom we shared our secrets. The damage inflicted cannot be 

undone. 

Sometimes, we are rude to people we don't like. We regard them with extreme 

contempt. When they are near us, we chase them away. But they are completely 

oblivious as to why we hate them. 

They do not know the actual reason, about us hating them, anymore than we do. 

When we think about why we hate them, it mostly comes down to their looks or 

behavior. Either they are pretty which we don't approve of, or they are the ideal 

students whom everyone loves. But the actual reason for hating a person is that 

he/she might have some quality which we do not have. This makes us jealous. 

We are also ungrateful. When someone helps us or takes good care of us, we are 

happy. But when it is our turn to return the favour, we pretend not to know them. 

We fail to remember the favour they did to us in our moment of need. 

Each human being is an individual in his actions, but basically we are all the same. 

This is what make us different from each other. Some of us are controlled by our 

instincts whereas others may decide to exercise caution over their feelings. Our 

choice makes us different from others. It is entirely up to us whether we want to 

let our feelings control us.

RELIVING MEMORIES 

Auddithio Nag, Vice President 

Green. Environment. Sustainable. Change. 

Small words, eh? However, these small words have quite a 

profound meaning behind them, and achieving the goals 

behind these slogans is one long bridge to cross. 

That is why we, at the Green World Earth Club (GWEC), 

have strived to accomplish these goals, in small yet 

significant steps one at a time. Over the years, GWEC has 

been involved in various activities that encourage students to 

take part in finding new solutions and putting these into 

effect into our daily life. As the Vice 

President of GWEC, it is a pleasure to 

reflect on the club's works in the past 

year. 

The last year was an extension of the 

success we have had in GWEC. We 

began with the 4th Annual General 

Meeting that took place on the 26th of 

Julian Malcolm 

Mendez 

GWEC Club Moderator 

September. The chief guests included Mr Md. Shahriar 

Alam, State Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Syeda Rizwana 

Hasan, Executive Director of BELA, among others. The 

new executive committee was elected, with Reean Raisa 

Abdullah as President and Justin Z. Costa as Secretary 

General. This year's theme was 'The Hydrosphere'. 


197


One of the first activities of the club 

this year was the Nature Photography 

Workshop held on the 17th of 

December 2015. The Nature Study 

Society of Bangladesh encouraged the 

participants to respect nature through 

the creative pastime of capturing its 

many splendors in a frame. 

GWEC had also continued its agenda, 

in a fairly economic way, during the 

Meena Bazaar. On the 16th of 

December, Stall #41 was filled with 

fresh and wholesome homemade 

delights, potted plants including 

flowers, chilli and the cacti as well as 

some cool T-shirts to spread the 

'green' word around. 

On Euphrasie Day, 

club officials went 

from class to class 

to engage students 

in various 

competitions 

related to the 

environment. A 

great list of 

achievements was 

also earned at the 

2nd International 

Nature Fest held in Notre Dame College. The best 

part was that we got in touch with the famous Green 

Man, Matthias Gelber, who was an honorary guest at 

the programme. 

The GWEC also organized its 4th intra-school Earth 

Science Olympiad. The final round took place in the 

competitive atmosphere on the 3oth of January 

2016.The participants were tested through two 

intensive rounds, both oral and written. Winners were 

announced, but all of the participants deserve a fair 

share of credit for the vast amount of knowledge they 

had accumulated in this competition. What made it 

even better was that the Green Man had visited our 

school on 19 February 2016 and had a great interactive 

session regarding the environment which intrigued 

the young minds, at the end of which he handed over 

198

the crests to the winners of the Olympiad. 

This was followed by the Annual Nature Project 

Display on the 6th of March 2016. We were 

awestruck by the innovative ideas brought up by 

the young students to solve various environmental 

problems related to water. The most talented of 

them took the prizes, but the knowledge gained 

was shared by all. 

Reflecting on our past serves to guide us for the future. All our activities are 

only fruitful if you can continue the legacy of the selfless works we have 

done. In the present world, where environmental concerns have spiked up 

among all, new challenges have arisen, to renovate our lifestyle to save the 

planet. Individually, it's very hard to accomplish them. But together as a club, 

as a family, it is possible to bring about a change, for us and our future.

Ronald Cruz 

Moderator, FX13 

Chrome 

As I always had this basic idea implanted in my system, let me begin with that, a 

quote from Albert Einstein “Try not to become a man of success. Rather become 

a man of value.” Best action a man of value would involve is valuable, I believe. 

Could it be within himself or in his surroundings? During the process of earning 

value he needs to think of his transformation that how “I become we”. Early 

notion is the formation and FX13CHROME evolved. From then onwards, in the 

ensuing 20 years, it has given birth to some valuable assets in the science arena. 

Gently hovering from one time zone to another, it has established not only a 

valuable but also a successful legacy. However gorgeous was its past or how much 

glory it brought to an individual, it stands united with the common ethics of its 

mother, SFX Greenherald International School. Interestingly, it has a blend of 

different pupil; but a unique goal. Just aim for it and win it. Kind delivery of time 

is not an option here. Length of time is a materialistic issue now when something 

so beautiful has already put its root very deep. Many thanks to the Almighty and 

those numerous students who pledged their performances to add value to it.

Debate Club 


General Meeting. 

Syed Nazrul Ahsan 

Moderator, GDS 

It is the year 2016 and Greenherald Debating 

Society has successfully held its 16th Annual 

This year the focus of GDS was to engage more students in the 

debating arena. The students who became the members of this club 

were from Class V to A Level. There were a very good number of 

events throughout the year. Many of the participants actively 

participated in different forms of debating competition. There were 

many in-House debate competitions for the new members. GDS 

debators also participate in debate competition outside the school. 

Debate 

Debate is contention in argument; discord, dissension, 

quarrelling, controversy; especially a formal discussion 

of subjects before a public assembly or parliament, in 

Parliament or in any deliberative assembly. 

Debate is a method of formally presenting an argument 

in a structured manner. Through logical consistency, 

factual accuracy and some degree of emotional appeal to 

the audience are elements in debating, where one side 

often prevails over the other party by presenting a 

superior "context" and/or framework of the issue. The 

outcome of a debate may depend upon consensus or 

some formal way of reaching a resolution, rather than the 

objective fact. In a formal debating contest, there are rules 

for participants to discuss and decide on differences, 

within a framework defining how they will interact. 

Debate is argumentative communication among teams. 

It improves the skill of a person. It opens windows for 

a better understanding. It gives confidence and further 

more it improves manner and behavior that is, attitude. 

206

Calisthenics 

To develop the skills of debate, GDS is organizing and 

arranging debating workshop cum classes and events 

throughout the year. The programs are planned and 

implemented by GDS members along with their spirited team. 

The debaters who accelerated the entire debating program this 

year are Aonkon Dey, Shubham Barua, Rivu 

Bhattacharjee, Justin D Costa, Upajna Das, Nahian

ANNUAL REPORT 2015-16 

Khaja Arjani Ahamed 

Class IX - Mars 

The French Club, named 'Club Français 

SFX' continued its creative activities is last 

academic year from around the middle of 

June, at the beginning of the summer 

vacation. The club moderators, Ms Teresa 

Kakon Corraya and Mr. Taufique Hossain, formally began its 

activities that year by selecting the executive members that 

would act as the limbs of the club. They were selected from class 

VIII, the president being Auddithio Nag, the treasurer Anujit 

Saha and the general secretaries Kazi Jawadul Islam and Shaolin 

Ahmed from class VII. Other executive members, include 

myself, were also selected to form a vital functioning body of the 

group while selected French students from class IX were 

allocated the posts of advisors. From there we began our 

activities in that session of 2015-2016. 

Club Français SFX started its first programme with a film show 

which was a French movie named 'Le Petit Nicolas' that was 

shown to the club members. Our honourable Principal, Sr 

Virginia Asha Gomes, Sr Maria Gomes, Sr Gracie M. Gomes Sr. 

Jacqueline Gomes and some other teachers enjoyed the show as 

well. The duration of the film was almost two hours. At the 

onset of the new academic year, we had primarily decided give 

out the forms for bringing in more students in the club and 

agreed to organized an activity every alternative Wednesday, 

although there were certain plans we could not carry out. We 

had held a French crossword competition for class IV to class 

VII during the beginning of October 2015, which did turn out 

to be our first success. Next we conducted a small reading 

competition which was segmented in 2 different divisions, one 

for the juniors below class VI, and the other for the seniors 

below class VIII that went moderately well. That event 

concluded our activities for that particular year at the beginning 

of November as the exams were drawing near. 

The executive team continued their activities in this club from 

the first few weeks of the final semester of the last academic 

year. It attempted to conduct a small calligraphic art 

competition for classes IV and VII within the school campus. It 

was decided to let the participants take their time to make their 

artwork at home during the Easter holidays which we 

implemented afterwards. 

Our overall management of the club membership documents 

and holding of activities were somewhat sloppy last year, as we 

were not so efficient, but we do expect, with optimism, that the 

next academic year shall go well with more efficiency and cooperation 

of the moderators and support of the administration 

as well as with more participation from the general members.

d'après midi je suis allé jouer au billard à nouveau. Ensuite, certains 

d'entre nous sommes allés nager à nouveau et je suis aussi allé avec eux. 

Enfin, nous sommes rentrés à près de 20 heures. Nous avons eu 

beaucoup de plaisir.

MERCY IS AN INVITATION 

Sr. Gracie M. Gomes, Senior Section In-Charge 


Iam glad to pen my reflection 

on 'Mercy' as the school has 

taken the theme for the year book, 2015-2016- 

'MERCY'. A merciful person is sensitive, and full of 

compassionate feelings. The word 'mercy' is directly 

related to one's inner kindness and respectful behaviour 

that he/she inculcates from daily events. It is said, 

'Mercy' is an invitation-an invitation to love, kindness, 

and infinite generosity. This theory guides us to 

encounter the incredible mercy of God that helps us to 

transform our life, our relationships, our work, and our 

ability to embrace and experience all of life. Pope 

Francis said, "Beautiful Mercy provides an encounter 

with the heart of God". If we focus on the word 'Mercy', 

it immediately inspires us to realize that extraordinary 

acts of love are possible for us all-no matter where we 

are in life. Receiving mercy and being merciful towards 

others are co-related to works of mercy. The works of 

mercy are also charitable actions by which we come to 

the aid of our neighbors in their hour of need. 

This is for students to learn that, there are two types of 

'works of mercy' - corporal and spiritual. The following 

examples of works of mercy are our daily toils and we all 

can be encouraged to practice them in our daily life - 

Feed the hungry, Give drink to the thirsty, Visit the sick, 

free the captive, Bury the dead, Instruct the ignorant, Counsel the doubtful, 

Admonish sinners, Bear wrongs patiently, Forgive offenses willingly, Comfort 

the afflicted, Pray for the living and the dead and above all, love one another. 

SFX Greenherald School has the 'Charity Club' in which a group of 

teachers/staff do a lot of charitable works under the supervision of the Principal 

Sr. Virginia Asha Gomes, and myself as the Club Coordinator, along with other 

sisters in the school. Of course our parents are giving us a big support to organize 

the charitable activities, particularly during the Meena Bazaar. The theme of the 

year book 'Mercy' is inviting all our parents, students and teachers to stretch their 

helping hands with kind and generous hearts where necessary. I do appreciate 

and thank the school 

authority for choosing the 

meaningful theme -'Mercy' 

for the Year Book, 2015- 

2016. Let us be merciful 

and kind to the people in 

our world who are hungry, 

thirsty, naked, persecuted, 

homeless, lonely, jobless, 

afflicted and desperately 

need our touch, our love 

and concern. May God 

Almighty bless our 

generosity abundantly.

ENIAC COMPUTER CLUB 

As technologies are becoming 

modernized, it is our duty to enhance 

our knowledge and capabilities to be able to 

operate them. The ENIAC Computer Club 

takes the responsibility to do so by providing 

documentaries, classes, quiz competitions 

and assistance. Our job is to provide 

interested students with fun events and help 

them to understand what the future holds. 

Many events have been organized by the 

club. Some events were our Annual Digital Expo 2016, Talent Search, 

CS Olympiad and many more. In the Annual Digital Expo 2016, many 

students have taken part and exhibited their talents through their 

projects and presentations. The CS Olympiad and Talent Search were 

successful in finding intellectuals and rewarding them. Digital Art 

helps children to express their creativity through their drawings. The 

club encourages our members to participate in events outside the 

school from where they bring glory and honor with their amazing 

performances. 

In the coming years, the club executives and officers have great new 

ideas for a whole new interesting journey. They are hard working and 

will continue to work hard to make the activities worthwhile and fun. 

The club invites students to take part in this journey and have fun.

Writer’s Club 

NOTES FROM THE WRITER’S CLUB 

Amreeeta Lethe 

Chowdhury 

We are made of titanium, we are made of 

steel; we are all but poets with our 

natures revealed. 

The Writer's club is the family which I hold 

very close to my heart because its essence lies 

in the passion of young souls still fighting for 

their place in the world, hearts which have 

wept and have felt joy, bones which are brittle 

yet mighty. The Writer's Club is the voice of the 

new blood, a voice which is often silenced by our 

hardened hearts. 

I have said it before and I shall reiterate; the club is still in its infancy 

but the wheels of progress have been turning and they have been 

turning at a pace which was unfathomable when the seeds of its 

creation were still being laid; and such progress could have only 

been made due to the sincerity and diligence of its members, who 

have moved the Heavens and the Earth to inspire the students to dig 

deep and polish their craft in order to create what may be the 

framework of what may be a modern update of the English lexicon 

but more importantly, the Writer's Club is alive in order to breathe 

life into the spirit of language which we all cherish. 

A best friend is one who would give books above any other gift and 

the club intends to be a friend to vagrant minds who seek knowledge 

but the club is also a place where students 

could help each other enrich their minds; 

the club holds competitions for creative 

writing and the winners are awarded books 

but further down the line perhaps the 

activities of the club would also evolve into 

a multitude of projects, whether that be 

weekly reading of particular books, storytelling 

(the art of oration) and even public 

speaking. 

Taufiq Shariar Khan 

Moderator, 

Writers Club 

As the club grows, the fruits of its labour can only be seen under 

close inspection as the views of the students alter and mature 

while they find a kinship with each other and the characters whom 

they read about. Endless possibilities lie for the club as it traverses 

the road not taken, The club aims to educate the minds of those 

who wish to learn the power to words, as words are our most 

inexhaustible form of magic. The club has preached a vision, a 

vision which believes that each soul is capable of crafting mines 

of gold with words alone as it preaches 'Excelsior' as we all soar 

to new heights of wisdom, of passion and of unwavering courage. 

"Be still when you have nothing to say; when genuine passion 

moves you, say what you've got to say, and say it hot." 

-D.H. Lawrence

MAGNITUDE OF PAIN 

Dr. H.M. Sen Gupta 


Physics is a quantitative science. This is 

because all physical quantities 

(extremely small to extremely large) can be measured without 

exception and thus a magnitude can be assigned to all the quantities. 

An error can also be assigned to the measured value. An error does 

not mean any mistake in the measurement. It stands for an 

uncertainty in the result and thus makes the numerical value 

obtained more meaningful; the smaller the error (the percentage 

error, in fact) the more reliable and thus more meaningful will be the 

quantity measured. 

There are several disciplines in science that are qualitative in nature 

and therefore no magnitude i.e. numerical value can be assigned to 

them. It has, however, been possible for Physics to contribute to the 

relevant parts of these also and thereby develop these science 

subjects to make them of great importance. We can quote hydrology, 

geophysics, medical physics and biophysics as examples. 

Psychology is an important discipline in science. Various matters are 

dealt with in Psychology, none of which can have any numerical 

value. Pain is one such matter. Mother's death gives pain. Death of 

a child, or of a relative or a friend, an accident on the road, failing in 

an examination even after hard work, losing a job unwarranted and 

so on will give us pain, but certainly not to the same extend. None 

of these pains can have a magnitude at all. Thus no numerical figure 

can be quoted to state the amount of pain. We can only say a large 

amount of pain (or may be, a very large amount of pain), a small 

amount of pain (or an extremely small amount of pain) and so on. 

In other words, it is only possible to say that one is more painful or 

much more painful than another, or less painful or much less painful 

and so on. We can never say how much larger or how much smaller. 

These clearly mean that it is never possible to give any numerical 

value to state the pain and all other terms in Psychology. This is the 

very nature, i.e. the important characteristic feature of Psychology. 

Psychology is certainly an important discipline in science. 

There is a well known story related to the measurement of 

magnitude to pain. I do not know how far this is true. The story is 

as follows: 

Several Psychologists went to Physicists to discuss if it is possible 

to do an experiment on the measurement of pain in a laboratory and 

thus assign a magnitude to it. An experiment was designed after a 

detailed discussion. 

As required in the experiment, several persons (both male and 

female) of different age group and different body structure (some 

lean and thin, some bulky, some short, some tall) were chosen on 

whom the experiment was to be carried out. The experiment is 

started below. 

In a dark room there will be an wooden chair. On it all the chosen 

people, as above, will sit one after another holding a pair of 

236

conducting rods (metal rods), one in each hand, between 

which an electric voltage will be applied. The voltage will 

be increased step by step starting from zero and displayed 

in red on the wall in front. The purpose was to see how 

much electric shock each one can withstand and whether 

the minimum voltage giving a shock has any correlation 

with the factors mentioned above. (namely, gender, age 

and body structure). Each person on whom the 

experiment was to be carried out was warned to keep in 

mind that the voltage will be increased and thus to take 

care not taking any risk. 

Everyone at one voltage or another was found to drop the 

metal rods, saying, "I cannot tolerate any more." But no 

voltage was applied at all; yet everyone received an 

'electric shock'! The fictitious 'shocking voltage", as 

displayed on the wall, was furthermore found not to have 

any correlation with the factors as mentioned above. 

The conclusion one can arrive at from the experiment is 

that no numerical value can be assigned to a 

Psychological quantity, pain in the present case. By its 

very nature, Psychology is a qualitative science. The 

some statement can be made about other science subjects 

that are qualitative by nature. We should not undermine 

these science subjects. These are of no less importance to 

science and to the society.

A Dream to Come True 

Composed by Sabir Hossain 

25 Years Journey of 

Sister Gracie RNDM 


As the time passes, anxieties and fear in the mind, 

Grow stronger realising the scenario we left behind, 

A place where our souls can have peace and rest, 

A different world, that we dream and is the best, 

Where the roses bloom the whole year, 

Where the peace flows like a river without fear, 

Where the mountains speak to the blue sky, 

Where the birds of multicolor wings cheerfully fly, 

Where the valleys grow abundant crops, 

Where the flowers smile on the shining due drops, 

where the sunrise is silver and sunset is gold, 

Where the people are honest , courageous and bold, 

Where the streams sing melodious song, 

A kingdom where nothing goes wrong, 

There O, Lord. I want to live with you, 

Day and night I pray for my dream to come true. 

The darkness you dreamt 

when you were a child, 

Thoughts were tender scattered 

and were mild. 

Determination to change darkness into light, 

Composed by 

you were nervous, you struggled 

Sabir Hossain 

And you had to fight. 

You bid good bye to your comfort, 

your home and all that you own 

For the new life a new path which was shown, 

To find a new kingdom, to achieve a special goal 

As lord wanted you to play an important role. 

Without fear you kept walking on and on, 

Though you were tired, you were sick but you did not mourn. 

Facing problems, pains and unbearable agony of your soul, 

Eventually after 25 years journey your train 

stationed at the desired pole. 

Your journey does not have any end, 

The angles will take you to a new trend. 

Lord from heaven will help you to be crowned, 

To be a ruler where honesty, justice and peace will be found. 

May you enlighten the hearts of the whole nation, 

New generation will find their final destination.

IMPROVING SELF-ESTEEM 

Dipak H. Gomes (Student Counsellor) 

Self-esteem can be defined as a positive feeling 

and respect for oneself. It is essentially a 

measure of self-worth and importance. 

Self-esteem is an important part of one's personality that has been shaped 

from very early years. During childhood, if a person's feelings are 

respected, thoughts valued, and abilities recognized, the child's selfesteem 

gets strengthened. When feelings are trampled upon ("I don't care 

about what you think/want"), thoughts belittled ( " What a lousy idea"), 

and abilities criticized (" You can never do anything correctly"), the child's 

self-esteem remains at a low point of development and is therefore weak. 

During the course of time, a person faces many life situations. Depending 

upon the success or failure and one's reaction to every significant situation 

in life, self-esteem either grows stronger or gets considerably weakened. 

A person with a strong self-esteem is able to act towards others in nonthreatening 

ways, builds healthy relationships and finds himself 

successful. He is confident, dynamic, appreciative, achievement oriented, 

contented, and open to change. 

Confident 

A person with a strong self-esteem knows his strengths and feels secure in 

accepting his limitations. He is able to place a lot of confidence in himself 

and his ability to handle problems. 

Goal-oriented 

His goals are always appropriate and realistic. When he sets his 

mind on a goal, he is willing to give a lot of himself to achieve 

it. He is ready to make efforts, for he knows nothing comes 

without the sweat of the brow. 

Appreciative 

This person feels positively about others. A person who feels 

happy and good about himself, can make others feel good about 

themselves too. He is able to acknowledge the good in others. 

His qualities help him in establishing meaningful relationships. 

Contented 

This person is able to accept himself with his limitations and 

weaknesses while being aware of his assets and strengths. He 

looks into the future and sees what he has and can do. 


241


A person with a weak self-esteem has a negative self-image 

and poor self-concept. These come in the way of his ability 

to build relationships, and to be successful. He is critical, 

self-centred, cynical and diffident. 

Self-centered 

The person gives importance only to his own feelings, likes and 

dislikes. He is not willing to consider the feelings and needs of 

others. This self-centredness alienates him from others. 

Critical 

The critical person makes negative judgments about others' 

behavior in order to cover up his own mistakes. Nothing seems 

to satisfy his expectations and minor slips are singled out for 

severe condemnation. 

Cynical 

The cynical person firmly believes that everyone is unjust: he is 

ready to believe the worst of others. He carries a huge load of 

past resentments based on real or imagined injustices. He 

misinterprets others' thoughts and actions and makes himself 

and others miserable. 

Diffident 

The diffident person starts thinking that nobody cares about 

him. He suffers from feelings of self-doubt and insecurity. He 

sees even small failures as proof of his inadequacy. Even if he has 

abilities, he fails to utilize them because he is convinced that he will fail. 

Improving Self-esteem 

Self-esteem is a quality that can be strengthened at any point in life 

regardless of age, education background and social standing. Building 

up one's self-esteem is a slow process requiring patience and 

perseverance. 

Some basic tips to help you in strengthening your weak self-esteem, 

which are practical and easy to follow: 

Give positive strokes generously 

Appreciation in the form of words (compliments), facial expression(a 

smile), or gesture (a pat), are termed as positive strokes. Positive strokes 

help in strengthening the self-esteem of the recipient as well as the giver. 

Giving positive strokes is a healthy exercise which calls for recognition 

of worth in other people. When we treat others with dignity, respect and 

love, our own self-esteem automatically grows stronger. 

In this mechanical world, we are so caught up with life and living, that 

we take many things for granted. If we could only pause for a minute 

and show our appreciation, the world would indeed be a better place to 

live in.
