railways did not have funds. The villagers decided to build the railway station with their
own money. They collected Twenty One Lack rupees and built the station. On 7 January,

Ways of Improving Retention
When the exam time comes, the students feel stressed and confused. They do not have
particular methods of memorize the information. They read much but they hardly
remember anything. Most of the students have the problem of retention. But, there is no
fixed method of improving retention. The students should identify the way they learn and
work on it. They should identify the different methods for different subjects. When they
adopt more than one style, it helps in learning. By doing so, they can improve their
retention and remember the information for a long.

Poem: 1 - My Song
_________________________________________________________
The song of mine will wind its music around you, my child,
Like the fond arms of love.
This song of mine will touch your forehead like a kiss of blessing.
When you are alone it will sit by your side and whisper in your ear,
When you are in the crowd, it will fence you about with aloofness.
My song will be like a pair of wings to your dreams,
It will transport your heart to the verge of the unknown.
It will be like the faithful star overhead when dark night is over your head.
My song will sit in the pupils of your eyes, and will carry your sight into the heart of
things.
And when my voice is silent in death, my song will speak in your living heart.
-Rabindranath Tagore

Poem: 2 - Pencil
_________________________________________________________
My daughter My darling daughter,

Little dear daughter In her ecstasy
Lights a pencil Is busy drawing
With a sharpener. Strange pictures.
The sky of the white paper But when the school master
Begins to be filled with light. Gives her homework,
The black bird flying away with the tree; My darling doll
Glasses on the eyes of the peacock; Breaks the tip of the penncil
The fire chariot flying in the air; In anger,
The airplane walking on the road; And the candle of the pencil
The lion having a conversation with the cow; Is extinguished.
A one eyed sun on the black tree Only the smoke remains
With a patch of cloud over it; On the sky of the white paper.
A blue fish flying on the forehead of the cloud;
The yellow butterfly swimming in the waterfall.
-Jayant Parmar

Poem: 3 - Growing
_________________________________________________________
I’m leaving now to slay the foe-

Fight the battles, high and low,
I’m leaving, Mother, hear me go!
Please wish me luck today.
I’ve grown my wings, I want to fly,
Seize my victories where they lie,
I’m going, Mom, but please don’t cry-
Just let me find my way.
I want to see and touch and hear,
Though there are dangers, there are fears.
32
I’ll smile my smiles and dry my tears-
Please let me speak my say.
I’m off to find my world, my dreams,
Carve my niche, sew my seams,
Remember. As I sail my streams-
I’ll love you, all the way.

Poem: 4 - Vanilla Twilight
_________________________________________________________
The stars lean down to kiss you,

And I lie awake and miss you.
Pour me a heavy dose of atmosphere,
Because I’ll doze off safe and soundly
But I’ll miss your arms around me
I’d send a postcard to your dear
Because I wish you were here
I’ll watch the night turn light blue
But it’s not the same without you,
Because it takes two to whisper quietly
The silence isn’t so bad, till I look at my hands and feel sad
Because the spaces between my fingers are right where yours fit perfectly
I’ll find repose in new ways, though I haven’t slept in two days,
Because cold nostalgia chills me to the bone
But drenched in vanilla twilight, I’ll sit on the front porch all night
Waist-deep in thought because when I think of you
I don’t feel so alone
As many times as I blink, I’ll think of you tonight, I’ll think of you tonight.
When violet eyes get brighter
And heavy wings grow lighter
I’ll taste the sky and feel alive again
And I’ll forget the world that I knew
But I swear I won’t forget you
Oh if my voice could reach back through the past
I’ll whisper in your ear
Oh darling I wish you were here
-Adam Young

After the death of Krishna, the Pandavas along with Draupadi felt that life was not worth
living. They lost interest in everything. They made Parikshit, son of Abhimanyu, the
emperor and decided to leave Hastinapur for great journey. Dressed in tree barks and deer
skin, they stopped at the palace where the people of the city bade them farewell.
The Pandavas travelled towards the north. In a few days, they reached the Himalayas.
They started climbing the mountains. When they came to the mountain Meru, all of them

A warrior killed his master. He repented immediately but the deed was done and he knew
that if he was caught, he would be put to death. So he ran away. He reached a remote
village that was separated from the rest of the world by a mountain. The murderer
decided to repent for his sin by single handedly cutting a road through the mountain to
connect the village with the rest of the world. He worked from dawn to dusk and in four
years had made halfway into the mountain. One morning when he was hard at work in
the tunnel, a young man called out to him to come out. He was the son of the man who
was murdered. He wanted to take revenge.

Dr. Jagdish Chandra Bose was a great Indian scientist. He surprised the whole world with
the declaration that the plants too have feelings. They live like other living things. He
also discovered that like other living beings, the plants are also hurt and shocked. By
another experiment he also showed that the plants could also be made unconscious by
some strong poisonous chemicals. In 1902, Dr. Jagdish Chandra Bose wrote many
articles about his experiments on plants kingdom. He published them in his book ‘The
Reaction of Living and Non Living.’
Dr. Bose invented an instrument. It is called ‘Optical Pulse Recorder’ which can record
the process of contraction in plants. He also proved that the carbon dioxide affects the life
of plant very badly. In 1918, Dr. Bose developed a new instrument ‘Cresco graph’ which
can enlarged the movements of plants ten thousand times.

Honeybees are special insects that live in large families in hives or honeycombs. There
are three sections in them. Queen bees, drones and worker bees live separately. The
queen bee is nearly 2.5 times longer and 208 times heavier than a worker bee. Her
function is reproduction. She lays 1000 to 2000 fertilized eggs. The function of drones is
to fertilize the queen. A drone is completely dependent on the worker bee. The worker
bees spend their whole short lives in tireless labour. They have no childhood. From the
third day of their birth, they have to start working. The famous scientist Darwin studied
the bees for many years and said that only a stupid person would not be amazed by the
structure of a honey comb.
