Miiraas-The Heritage Club

As much as each of you have heard, the need of the preservation of this monument is as prevalent in these times, as is your need to brush. It may seem a bit too extreme. But in order to know our present we must understand our past. We all know that colours are beautiful and absolutely necessary. But not on the Taj Mahal. For it is beautiful despite its lack of color. And it is important for it to remain so. Not only does it showcase a crucial part of history, but it also gives India recognition in the world. Millions of tourist visit the Taj Mahal every year, in an attempt to understand the heritage of India. And if they see garbage, tobacco stains and unkempt surroundings, that's exactly what they'll perceive India comprises of, which is highly undesirable. Therefore, it is important that all of us, take care of Taj Mahal. Image source: DeviantArt (by Sarita37 )

F R A G M E N T S                                     'Fragments'...  as simplified in the most basic sense, the terminology refers to 'an isolated or broken part of something', bringing in light the central theme and salient features of this heterogeneous 'Piece of Art' consisting of 14 dissimilar 'Pieces'.  The Collection of Works, dated December 2015, exhibits a unique blend of 'Mix-Media' and Acrylics on Canvas. Inspired from the Creative Productions of various Mater-Artists such as M.F   Hussain, S.H Raza, Ram Kumar, F.N Souza & Sohan Qadri, each Oeuvre is exquisitely painted, deriving certain elements and styles of painting from the Masterpieces of Artistry. Being absolutely distinct from one another, each of them is embellished with two kinds of Mix-Media(i.e. buttons and pins),in order to amalgamate the entire set into one 'Piece of Art'. The inc...

The name "Aryaman" is usually associated with the ones who are destined to "achieve greatness". The name also means an individual who is noble-minded. "Aryaman" is usually a person who is considered to be individualistic, goal-oriented and loyal. The name is unique as the bearer of the above mentioned lives up to the highest of expectations and promises to be a change maker. Well, at least I hope so. - Aryaman Kumar XI-G

In our busy life , we often don't notice the simplest and smallest things are the most beautiful . The raindrops hit the ground every rain, and we are so busy enjoying the rain fall, that we miss the small mesmerising events . This picture teaches me that it's not about the whole scene but about how small things make up the big picture . It tells me to enjoy every moment bit my bit . You never know what you are missing until it's to late. The sunset in its self is yet another beautiful phenomenon of God . As the sun sets , the solders  at war rest and give ode to them whom they lost , and get hope from the beauty to fight yet another  terrorizing  day. The white colour that we see everywhere in the picture gives us inner peace and calmness . The White also signifies justice and peace. The butterfly signifies our hope and the big wooden log is our problems . Even though the log is a massive chunk agains the small  butterfly , with its beauty and kind...

'The beauty of the Taj Mahal is not its marble, nor is it in its architecture; the beauty is in the idea of constructing an eternal tomb to make immortal one's dead love, in the story that's passed on to every generation, in the feeling of infinity experienced when inside the monument, in the history that runs through every brick of this Wonder of the World, the beauty is in the combination of the Taj Mahal and you.' - Ananya Sen   XI-G

11 th grade history is a big jump from the level in 10 th grade. Answers suddenly take up two pages (despite my tiny handwriting); chapters are now up to 40 pages long. Here are a couple of tips I’ve picked up to help with the increase in coursework.  Highlighting and underlining may have worked in 10th grade, but I’ve found I end up doing for pretty much the entire textbook in 11th grade. Underlining key words instead helps to identify the points your answers must contain.  Interesting page markers help to remember specific points, and to remember why they’re important in the first place. It may seem superficial, but it does make a difference.  Flowcharts condense long or complicated processes into a simple image. They’re especially useful for 8-markers that deal with political, social, military or economic institutions or processes.  Given the detail and length of the text, copying down the entire chapter in the form of notes is a futile exercise, esp...

I want to tell you a story, and express my love for my home; a home where streetlights dance, where the buildings sway, but you have to give me a chance! I mean, come on, it's not easy, describing my home; it's a hub of diversity, a metropolitan city, and it's called New Delhi. Inderprastha, Shahjahanabad और Mehrauli, थे इसके कुछ नाम,  ये दिल्ली है, ये दिल्ली है, ये दिल्ली है, मेरे यार! It attracted all the kings and queens, and all the other dynasties. People fought to rule, along came the Mughals; the strategic location was a tool. I'm not saying it's perfect, every place has it's flaws; Population, crime rate at an all time high, oh and let's not forget, the pollution, the smog, which makes me want to cry. Siri, Tughlakabad और Rai Pithora, थे इसके कुछ नाम,  ये दिल्ली है, ये दिल्ली है, ये दिल्ली है, मेरे यार! We've got the tomb of Humanyu, the monument of perfect symmetry; We've got Sarojini nagar, INA, Dilli Haat and Janpath, covered wi...
