Independence day
By Abhilasha Sharma, (V)
John Martyn Memorial School
Independence is the right of every citizen of India. When our country was ruled by the Britishers, we did not have our own flag or our own constitution. We won our independence in 1947 and celebrate the day on 15th August every year. Our National Flag, the ‘tiranga’, is hoisted at the Red Fort and the Prime Minister gives a talk to the nation. Our first Prime Minister was Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru.
We hoist the flag at our school too and sing the national anthem. Every body takes a pledge to serve the country honestly and sincerely.

Are you saving water?
By Vaibhav Saxena,(VI-B),
The Asian School
Try to do one thing each day to save water, don’t worry if it be minimal. Every drop counts & every person can make his own littlie contribution."
1. Some way to save water- Don’t let tap water run while brushing your teeth, washing your Face. Use mug water.
2. When you take bath used a bucket & a mug. Showers waste a lot of water.
3. When ever you see a leaking tap or a bare pipe on the road side, Complain to the elders & urge them to take action.
4. Avoid unnecessary flushing. Repair leaking toilets.
5. Water lawns & Plants in the evening so that water loss due to evaporation is minimized.
6. Don’t waste water because some one else is giving the penalty, like when you are staying in a hotel or using a public convenience.

Independence Day
By Akash, Jyoti & Mitali,(V),John Martyn Memorial School
On Independence Day we got our freedom from the Britishers. In our school we hoist the flag on that day and sing the national anthem. Some children also sing patriotic songs. There is sometimes a P.T. display. Every year some sweets are also distributed to the children which they enjoy the most.
