I WANT TO GO BACK IN TIME!!! Mannat Sibal

I want to go back in time....

When 'getting high' meant,
enjoying the heights of the swing.
When drinking meant
just apple juice.
When dad was the only hero known.
When love felt in moms hug and
the worst enemies were only
our siblings!
When dads shoulder was
the highest place on Earth.
When hurt were only knees and
broken were only toys.
I want to go back in time
when goodbyes meant only till tomorrow.

Unfortunately.....
WE HAVE CHANGED
ANS SO HAS
EVERYTHING ELSE!!!

FRIENDSHIP IS THE BEST THING IN LIFE!! Mannat Sibal

Friendship is when friends push when you need it, but never too hard and they stand back when the time is right but never too far.But the true test of friendship is if you're willing to do it all back in a heartbeat. It's when your life is so much better because you know them and they bring out the best that lies within.
Friendship plays an important role in our lives No way do friends have to be exactly the same, I mean come on friends do have similarities but they also have their differences. The key to opening up the world of friendship is not just to focus on the similarities but to accept each others faults because true friends do not judge each other. Friends love unconditionally. Friends do have their little angry moments from time to time but at the end of the day all is forgiven and forgotten. Why let something that happened in the past ruin what great friendship you could have together in the future??? A true friendship has many memories, both good and bad, but all are important. When they look into our eyes they exactly get to noe that something is wrong and is bothering you and all they have to do is offer a hug and they make you feel a thousand times better. Friends can stay up all night on the phone talking for hours just because you cannot sleep and they would do anything to get that thing off your mind!!When you know that they'd never lie to you and would never hurt you and if they did you know that it would only be for your benefit. Sometimes you wonder how she knew, but then you realize that's just how close you are. They can make you laugh when skies are the darkest and they're there with a good movie and some popcorn when your totally depressed!.Have you ever noticed that when a friend is happy you find yourself happy too, even when it has nothing to do with you???To a friend I've found that nothing ever sounds stupid, funny or unbelievable and you never feel hesitant saying whatever it is and when you turn your back around you always see them standing there waiting for you to return. Don't ever loose faith in your friends, love them instead.To a friend I have found that there are many good friends around, but true best friends are hard to find easyto keep but if gone never to be seen....

The Zeal of Independence at Carmel Convent Mannat Sibal

Patriotism is in the air and with the same spirit Carmel Convent celebrates the 62nd Independence Day.
The festivities were marked with the flag hoisting ceremony by the chief guest, Father Stephan Fernandis. A parade was performed by the students of class 9 accompanied by the newly formed Carmel Band which was breath taking. Their synchronization was so astounding that it left the viewers with a deep sense of belonging towards our Nation. The students of class 8th later presented a tableau high lighting the mile stones on the road of independence of India in the fields of Agriculture, Technology and Sports. The show came to an end with a tribute to our “Kargil Heroes”and the “Mumbai Terror Attack Victims” Seeing such enthusiasm in the students Father Stephan Fernandis remarked, “Everyone has a right of freedom and today I could see it in the play which the students portrayed. The way they had shown how India developed or rather changed during these 62 years was just mesmerizing!”.
“The play was excellent and the presentation was absolutely fabulous!”, said a few sisters and teachers.
Every student now swells and says with pride, “I AM PROUD TO BE AN INDIAN.. JAI HIND!”

But I Say It Is My Dad! Mannat Sibal

Everybody says,
that if ever in our days,
we see footsteps walking,
beside our ways,
everybody says He is The One
the Almighty the creator of the Sun.
but to me today
i want to say it is my dad walking throughout
the way.
As to keep his word
I'll do anything in this world.
All he ever wants is,
love and respect.
nothing else in any other aspect.
People say that we may lead
our life,
our way but then again
I would like to say its my dad who
will guide me my way!

An awaited Encounter with Mr.Vipin Pubby By Mannat Sibal

After a long wait we got a golden opportunity to meet Mr. Vipin Pubby the Chief editor of THE INDIAN EXPRESS.
It was the end of the Golden Jubilee Year when we the reporters met Mr. Pubby. We grabbed a lot of information from him about the working of the press. I eagerly asked him, “How do you get so much information in so less time?? And how do you form the report before the time granted to you? As you could be having 4 situations at one time!!” to his reply he said, “The reporters have to be very agile and have to manage their time accordingly as mentioned above their might be 4 situations in the line but we have quite a few reporters who tackle the situation. Even if there are only one or one , they have to manage their time and complete their report and send it for printing”.

As all of us had different questions one of the reporters asked him, “What if you face a problem that there is something more important which has come up and that news has to be put up un tomorrows paper but the papers have already gone for printing?”. Mr. Pubby replied, “ if something of that sort happens we immediately stop the printing and reform the layout again and if we do stop the printing it would be only if the news has to be at the front page or it would be making the headline” i added, “is it so easy to stop the printing and just start all over again?” “Yes it is easy because printing just takes about 1 or 2 hours.” He clarified.

After this very interactive and educational session we all thanked Mr. Vipin Pubby for helping us clear our doubts. In very little time we grabbed so much from him that we respect all the journalists of the country who put themselves in an situation in which we normal people would never want to be.
