PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE - The Indian Community School ...

PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGEThe Indian Community School, Kuwait, since its inception in the year 1959, has been exclusively serving the Indian Diaspora by providing excellent high quality education. For over half a century ICSK has been

inspiring students, helping them discover and develop their latent talents and increasing their awareness and responsibility to the community around them and the world at large.

EPICS, the monthly magazine of the school denoting E: Emotional, P: Physical, I: Intellectual, C: Cultural and S: Spiritual, had its first issue in May 2013. ICSK is the only school in Kuwait which has the hard copy of its monthly magazine circulated among the students and a soft copy sent to the parents every month. Coincidently its 60th edition corresponds with the Diamond Jubilee year of the school. The monthly magazine witnesses an astounding exhibit of flair by our exquisitely gifted children from all the departments of Arts, Literature, Science, Language, Humanities and Social Science. The issues present informative reports of all that is happening in and around the campus and also include contributions from the students on a wide array of topics such as Poetry, Riddles, Artwork and inspirational, informative articles. ‘EPICS’ holds up a mirror for the school to recap and reiterate its activities, and in the process, it also unleashes a wide forum to unveil the array of articles and other literary skills of the students. This magazine exhibits the seasonal glow of renewal and enrichment, with captivating content and new ideas with a fresh perspective. In The Indian Community School (Senior) Kuwait, children are living and learning with ‘PRIDE’ - our values of Passion, Respect, Integrity, Diversity and Empathy.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the editors

As the school commemorates the 60th year of its glorious existence, grand 60th anniversary celebrations are being organized across the year 2019. The school kicked off its Diamond Jubilee Celebrations in the month of January with a Higher Education Fair - the first of its kind in Kuwait, on the 11th and 12th of January, 2019. The Fair was arranged within the ICSK Senior school campus and displayed universities from across the world made accessible to students in Kuwait. The career fair also featured career counselling sessions and aptitude tests for students to better understand their strengths, so that they successfully find a university tailored to their interests. Amidst celebrations of its 60th anniversary, The Indian Community School, Kuwait heralded the New Year with the extravagant 16th Super Mega Carnival 2019, on Friday, the 25th of January, 2019. This much-anticipated event among the Indian community in Kuwait, witnessed throngs of people from all over Kuwait assembled at the ICSK Senior campus to celebrate the fun and frolic of the lively event. The ICSK Carnival is organized every year for the noble cause of providing free education to underprivileged children through the proceeds collected.

The school is planning to organize various other events such as the Gulf Arts Fest & International Conference for teachers as part of its Diamond Jubilee Celebrations. The official Diamond Jubilee song will also be unveiled this year.

I would like to take this opportunity to extend my sincere gratitude to all the students, teachers and parents for their unswerving and wholehearted cooperation. I hope that you continue to support us. Your prayers and blessings will help ICSK scale greater heights of excellence in the years to come.

The students of under-17 category added another feather to the cap of ICSK, Senior and held their head high when they were declared as the unbeatable champions in the chess tournament of CBSE Clusters Kuwait.Apart from the physical training in sports that is provided to the students, the ICSK Senior School also makes it sure that it develops problem solving skills, planning, patience, focus of thought and self discipline. Chess

ICSKians, WINNERS OF THE BRAIN GAMEis one such sport. The antecedents of the current champions had earlier proved their adroitness and now the champions have brought laurels to the school. We have chess wizards and they are beings sculpted under the guidance of expert Physical Training masters. The ICSK family applauds the champions and the drudgery taken up by the members of the Department of Physical Education.

For those of you who haven’t watched the movie yet, fret not as this is a spoiler free review of the movie. So many of us have been following the Avengers since the first movie, Iron Man (or from the 2012 film The Avengers.For these people, End Game will not be a happy experience. The unavoidable occurs; something we all feared but knew would eventually happen. After all, every good thing comes to an end.

The movie is three hours long and every moment of the movie is worth watching. The scale of production, the VFX, the cast, etc.

Is very grand as expected from a Marvellpus movie. You will feel a range of emotions throughout the movie. Its a great blend of action, emotion and humor . We won’t be seeing

much of Thanos in the movies as much as we see the Avengers. That’s probably for the better as we won’t have to look at someone we all WILL despise at the end.

It does a good job at piecing together the stories that have been created by the previous movies.

The movie differs a lot from Infinity Wars however. It’s not Infinity Wars part 2.

Nothing so far has broken the Marvel formula quite like Avengers: Endgame, which follows Infinity War by diving deep into the previous film’s feeling of emotional loss and helplessness, exploring it at length, and then expanding into something that isn’t so much a Marvel story as a series of calculated payoffs for a decade of Marvel stories.

The movie is loaded with incredible set pieces and tons of small character moments that leave you wanting more, wondering about the future of the MCU

EDITORS’ NOTEDear Children

Greetings from the Editorial board!!

Proudly launching the 60th edition of EPICS from the ICSK desk ! With immense pleasure the epics editorial board presents before you the continuing glorious tradition of providing students a platform to exhibit their literary and artistic skills.

Here are a few tips from our side to plan your day to day activities in a more organized manner.

1. Do your best ! We all do not have the same abilities, but reaching your potential in all that you do is an important habit to develop for lifetime success. Excellence is a state of mind...make it yours !!!

2. Ask for help. No one understands everything. Recognizing what you don’t know is as important as recognizing what you do know. There is no shame in needing help. The shame is when you DON’T seek help.

3. Kindness is always an option. Not every message you have to deliver will always make people happy, but almost every message can be delivered politely and with respect for a person’s feelings.

4. Don’t fear failure. Try new things ! You won’t be great at everything, but the vast majority of successful people say that they learned more from their failures than they did from their successes.

5. Learn to work with others. More and more careers require the ability to collaborate on things. Being able to bring a piece of the puzzle to solving problems will make you a valuable colleague. Being able to help others with their piece of the puzzle will make you a trusted colleague. 6. Always thank those who have helped you. Aside from good manners, those people will be that much more willing to help you in the future if they know their assistance was valued the first time.

7. Beware of overconfidence. It doesn’t matter what the field, activity, assignment, task...there is always someone smarter out there. If you are smarter, have more knowledge or experience than those around you, remember to be humble.

Happy vacation!!!!

EDITORS’ NOTE

Almost 14 billion years ago, the universe began with a big bang. After around a quarter of a million years the newborn universe had finally cooled down enough for neutral, uncharged atoms to form. And at some point, those atoms combined. Specifically, helium atoms combined with charged hydrogen ions to make the very first molecule: the helium hydride ion. Then, this molecule went on to shape the first stars and galaxies, and the rest is history. Of course, this story was originally just based on our understanding of chemistry; no one was actually there

How Scientists Found the First Type of Molecule in the Universe

to see this happen. And that led to a conundrum. Because after decades of searching, scientists had found no definitive evidence of helium hydride ions in space at all. That is, until now. In a paper published last week in the journal Nature, an international team has reported that they have finally detected this elusive ion! Now, to be clear, scientists knew that helium hydride ions

could exist, because they were created in the lab way back in 1925. It’ll react with any other neutral molecule it encounters. And a single electron will break it apart. In fact, the only thing it won’t react with is another positively-charged ion. So we didn’t expect this search to be easyAstronomers are normally able to detect molecules in space by tuning in to the characteristic frequencies that they vibrate at. The problem is, helium hydride vibrates the strongest at incredibly high frequencies more than 2 Terahertz. That puts its emissions in the far infrared part of the electromagnetic

spectrum. And while some of our space telescopes have been able to detect far infrared light, they haven’t been sensitive enough to distinguish helium hydride ions from similar molecules But we did detect helium hydride ions. And to do it, we used a great piece of cutting-edge tech onboard a flying observatory!. They collected for over an hour across three flights in 2016. Then, the processed data confirmed what astronomers had hoped to find: that clear spectral signature of the elusive helium hydride ion. This detection has helped put everyone’s mind at rest about what happened just after the Big Bang, but that’s not the only reason it’s important. It’s also helping astronomers figure out how molecules form and are destroyed in these heavily radiated environments. And now that we have the tech to spot helium hydride ions in planetary nebulas, we can really study it. We can start to understand the processes from the dawn of chemistry in more detail. Which is good news for scientists past and present and future!

Avengers-End Game (Film Review)

Beneath the shady trees,I walked on the golden leaves,

With the sun’s rays peepingThrough the pine trees, struggling.

The pathway lead to a beautiful garden,Full of flowers and dancing fairies,Mermaids swam and doves flew,

Nowhere had I seen a sky so blue.

The clouds made of cotton candy,Showered chocolates and colourful

candies,As I was about to treat myself on the

delicacies,I was awakened from my sleep and

fantasies.

A Beautiful Dream

The Paradigm art fest got off to a colourful start on 1st and 2nd May 2019 in four different stages. The gala event was inaugurated by the Chief Guest Mr. Karlfred Bergner who is the German Ambassador to Kuwait. He proudly ranked the Indian society of Kuwait as one of the best community appreciating various social activities, the most prominent amongst them being in the field of education. After the art fest PARADIGM was declared open, the students of ICSK Senior, performed a musical extravaganza, “SOORYAAMSHAM”.

The Art Fest Paradigm with full glory and revel was celebrated with complete grandeur

ICSK SENIOR ARTS FEST BEGINS WITH A COLOURFUL STARTfor two long days consisting of offstage and onstage competitions. Through these competitions, the children bagged the golden opportunity to showcase their talents.A humungous number of students participated in the competitions with full zeal and zest.

On 2nd May, 5.30 p.m, a valedictory function was arranged for the Guest of Honour, Mr. Mohammed Salah Khureibat, Inspector, Ministry of private Education, who graced the occasion with his esteemed presence.

The child prodigies who bagged the first, second and third positions in all the three

categories were honoured and awarded the Kalathilak and The Kalaprathibha trophies. The house that scored the maximum points in the competitions was awarded the trophy. The best of the cultural programmes were staged as a final showdown to the two day long ethnic and artistic fiesta.

We are living in a world full of rapid technological and scientific developments and are gradually heading to more and more sophisticated and intelligent technologies day by day .

However, the technology we have right now is far off than what we are expecting to see and experience in the near future ! Shocking right ?

The drastic change will actually occur in the field of transportation .

Nowadays , almost all modern cars have CRUISE CONTROL. This feature enables the driver to move his leg from the accelerator and he has to only control the steering wheel, the car drives by itself.

THE FUTURE OF TRANSPORTATION !

However, this feature is going to be completely replaced by another one caleed AUTO-PILOT which will

make the future cars DRIVER-LESS !

Yes you read it right DRIVER-LESS . This will make a revolution in the auto industry and in turn this can help avoid accidents to a greater extent .

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE {AI} and other sophisticated sensors, programs and Machine-Learning all together will help

to make this unrealistic imagination turn to reality !

While DRIVER-LESS trains already exist , the cars and taxis too, are not far from it .

Several companies like TESLA MOTORS are already testing out autonomous DRIVER-LESS taxis and cars which will soon be available for the public.

Ultra-High Speed trains and other transportation vehicles will also drastically change the way we move from one place to another. Just as mobile phones became quite common after they were introduced and also they reimagined the way we communicate, similarly AUTO-PILOT cars, trains and busses too will soon become quite common and will help to make people’s lives a lot more interesting and easier in moving from one place to another.

So friends be ready ! THE FUTURE IS ALREADY HERE !

Facts are sometimes stranger than fiction. Nowhere is it more true than in the case of black hole. They are stranger than anything dreamed up by science fiction writers. Black Holes are incredibly dense objects, created by the collapse of giant stars.

Recently, a world spanning network of telescopes called the Event Horizon Telescope(EHT) zoomed in on to the supermassive monster in the core of the galaxy M87 to create the first ever picture of a black hole.

A REVOLUTIONARY CLICK OF A BLACK HOLESEEING THE UNSEEABLE

Black Holes are fascinating bodies of immense gravity which has grabbed the attention of physicists, science fiction writers and readers and curious students like me myself. We have been studying black holes for so long that sometimes we forget that none of us has actually seen it. “Picturing a black hole is one herculean task” many physicists say. It is so because black holes are notoriously hard to see and understand. Their gravity is so strong that even light cannot escape. The black hole captured by the EHT is located almost 55 million light years away from us. This opens a new era of astrophysics. The EHT team is yet working on another anticipating image of the black hole Sagitarius A, which is the core of our Milkyway galaxy.

Man’s ever ending thirst to explore the expanding universe continues with amazing discoveries……

Best friends stick together till the end. They are like a straight line that will not bend.

They trust each other forever,

No matter if you’re apart or together.

They can be your hero and save the day. They will never leave your side; they are here

to stay.

They help you up when you fall. Your true friends are best of all.

Our first mile stone was the trade fair conducted by Injaz in Safir hotel, Fintas on 26th March. We sold our product for the first time and interacted with our customers.We also attended another fair conducted by boulevard which was a huge success. We completely sold out; this event taught us a lot about our customer and sales.

Finally we competed with 12 schools around Kuwait in the injaz company programme which was held on April 12th and 13th in Salwa Sabah Al-Ahmad Theater & Hall. Though we didn’t win, we did get nominated for the company with best social impact. This competition taught us a lot about the practical business world and has enhanced our creativity and communication skills.

The Injaz competition 2019 included 30 selected students from commerce. The competition was about how to form your own company and sell your product to the costumers. We worked under the guidance of Mrs. Musarrat Parkar and Mr. Atiq along with our mentors Ms. Sarah and Mr. Abdullah assigned to us by Injaz Kuwait.Our first few Sessions led us to brainstorming various business ideas which resulted in the formation of our company called Ace and our executives.

Failing in our first product didn’t stop us instead motivated us to work harder which led to our second product called Capricious,

1. Music Increases Happiness This might seem obvious, but the natural

chemical reasoning is pretty incredible to think about. If you are ever in need of an emotional boost, let it be known that it only takes 15 minutes of listening to your favorite tunes to get a natural high. This is because your brain releases dopamine, a neurotransmitter that leads to increased feelings of happiness, excitement, and joy, when you listen to music you like.

WHY LISTENING TO MUSIC IS GOOD FOR YOU

2. Music Decreases Stress, While Increasing Overall Health

Music has a direct effect on our hormones. If you listen to music you enjoy, it decreases levels of the hormone cortisol in your body, counteracting the effects of chronic stress. Stress causes 60% of all illnesses and diseases, so lower levels of stress mean higher chances of overall well-being.

One study even showed that a group of people playing various percussion instruments and singing had boosted immune systems compared to the people who were passively listening; while both groups’ health was positively affected by music, the group playing instruments and/or singing had better results.

• Teaches rhythm which in turn teaches movement.

• Encourages coordination.• Can be soothing in anxious or stressful

situations.• Builds self-esteem.• Develops right brain but also develops

left brain skills.• Teaches interaction with others.• Increases expression.• Stimulates responses.

Plasma is the fourth state of matter in which an ionized gaseous substance becomes highly electrically conductive to the point

The 4th State of Matter Is The Most Amazing And Full of Potential. Here’s Why.

during a lightning storm.How is Plasma formed?

Plasma is created by adding energy to a gas so that some of its electrons leave its atoms. This is called ionization. It results in negatively charged electrons, and positively charged ions. Unlike the other states of matter, the charged particles in a plasma will react strongly to electric and magnetic fields (i.e. electromagnetic fields). If a plasma loses heat, the ions will re-form into a gas, emitting the energy, which had caused them to ionize.

ALINA MARIAM MATHEW

that long-range electric and magnetic fields dominate the behavior of the matter. The plasma state can be contrasted with the other states: solid, liquid, and gas.

The word plasma comes from Ancient Greek meaning ‘moldable substance’ or ‘jelly’, and describes the behavior of the ionized atomic nuclei and the electrons within the surrounding region of the plasma.

Dear Students,The last month witnessed the biggest Art festival in the history of ICSK. Active participation by 70% of the students has made PARADIGM 2013 a great success. I congratulate all the students and extend my warm appreciation to all the parents for the support and encouragement. Art adds spice to the student life; it enables

the students to think out of the box and helps in their total personality development. Even as the co scholastic activities are encouraged, academics have always been given great prominence at ICSK, Senior. Students must learn to maintain the balance between curricular and co curricular activities. To facilitate this balance, time management is the only solution. Time should be managed effectively by proper planning because; the success of a person is determined by how well he uses the time. The tenure of a day is 24 hours to all of us, but the effective management of these 24 hours is possible only by careful scheduling. It is the duty of parents and teachers to train the students how to organize their time into different modules for maximum effectiveness. Time management is an art which can be achieved through practice. It can help all to reach the zenith of success. Time management

is very effective in the preparations for all the examinations. Set high goals, define your objectives and work towards it with meticulous planning and effective implementation. So, my dear students, schedule the activities you intend to do and balance your academics with other co curricular activities by careful planning. Prepare timetables for your daily routine, assign specific time for the multitude of tasks you would like to perform and thus utilize each and every moment effectively. Time is the most precious thing in this world; it can be utilized or misutilized. It is one of the most important nonrenewable resources at man’s disposal. Do not fall into the habit of procrastination wherein one keep on postponing important tasks to a later time; that is a very dangerous flaw because the next moment of time is not in our control. We have only the present moment with us; utilize it effectively with enthusiasm. It will be your strongest stepping stones to success. I request all the parents and teachers to help the students for the re-scheduling of their valuable time thereby creating discipline in their personal lives. Wishing you the very best in all your endeavors to effectively manage time which in turn will help you to bloom into an all-round personality. Remember, time and tide waits for none. So utilize the available time in the most effective manner. At this juncture, let me register my heartfelt gratitude to Mrs. K. Lamba for co-sponsoring the November edition of the EPICS

PrinciPal’s Message

ePics at a glance nature club: students and their environMentOnly if the environment is preserved, a healthy existence is possible for human beings. Nature club in ICSK conscientized the students upon the importance of acknowledging their environment .As attribute to the environment, the students decided to convert the barren desert land around them into vivid greenery. The Honorary Vice Chairman to the ICSK Board, Mr. Rajan Daniel encouraged the students in this innovative venture by planting a neem sapling in the campus on 20th October 2013. The students proceeded with the spirit of added encouragement and created beautiful patches of garden in the campus. These gardens will be lovingly nurtured by the students in the days to

come. It is a rare opportunity for the children who are not familiar with the smell and flavor of farming. Apart from the gardens, the students can also be proud of the numerous neem saplings they have planted, because in the years to come, these trees can contribute a lot to the ecosystem. The planted saplings are symbolic of the younger generation’s realization of the importance of preserving our environment. The greenery has invoked a feeling of rejuvenation in the campus.

Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be

strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved. - Helen Keller

EPICS at a glanCE

Welcome to all to the February edition of epics. An academic year

is almost over with many achievements and accomplishments over

the year. As we move ahead, more goals are set and many more

dreams are being formulated on our future .Dreams are wish fulfillments and dreams lead us to success. In

life,a human being can achieve anything only if he envisages his

success. If you constantly dream of success and accomplishments

you need ,your mind gets conditioned and starts affirming your

success. The term ,dream should not be confused with subtle day

dreaming but it is a powerful vision that creates steps to reach your goals. Most

people do not know how to fulfill their dream. The easiest path to attain one’s dreams

is to keep up the blazing vision of the dream, visualize it every day, every minute.

The idea will start materializing through your actions. To quote the words of a great

genius of our century, Dr. A.P.J.Abdul Kalam,”always go for dreams. Dream is not that

you see while sleeping but it is something that does not let you sleep. ”Dream your

goal, Dream your life, Dream your success, Dream your happiness and slowly you

start believing in these, providing you the strength and caliber to materialize these

ambitions. Create a very vivid mental picture of the life you want. Dreams are the

products of our imagination, it leads to various perceptions in our mind. These will in

turn inspire us with passion and arouse very strong positive emotions. All great things.

are born in dreams,a life with out dream is as zest less as a flower without fragrance

Dream big and work hard to accomplish them. Fortune and Gods favour only those

who follow their hearts.“All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.”Walt Disney

If you hesitate even for a moment,you may sometimes miss a great opportunity, or the

fulfillment of a great dream. Work hard to turn your visions to reality. Don’t fear the

obstacles on your path; Remember,you achieve what you dream. So, dear children,

learn to envisage your future through dreams. Let your hearts be filled with dreams

of a beautiful future.

PrInCIPal’S MESSagE

The universal declaration of human rights has emphasized education’s importance as a fundamental human right and a necessary element of development. Education encom-passes the scope of social values, morality, tradition, religion, politics and history. It is the acquired body of knowledge that equips the emerging intellectual force with the necessary skills to ensure its active participation in over all development of students. However, it is a matter of concern that the students of gulf region were less privileged to make options of subjects according to their taste and preference due to various limitations. The Indian Community School is proud to announce a historical achievement that the CBSE has given the approval to Indian Community

nEW COUrSES @ ICSk - A Dream Come TrueSchool, Kuwait to include following courses: Fashion Studies, Graphic Designing, Mass Media Studies, Multimedia & Web Technology, Psychology, Home Science, Physical Education, History & Political Science in addition to existing subjects at Senior Secondary level. This is the first time in the gulf region a school is providing various combinations of subjects, with these many options. Ability and opportunity, the combination of both will enable a person to achieve his goal in life. It is with a clear vision The Indian Community School provides opportunity for our children to avail their best options from twenty different optional subjects. This is not only a landmark achievement for the institution but also for the entire Indian community in this foreign land.

Welcome to all of you to the new edition

of Epics. We are at the final stages of the

first Summative Assessment or semester

exams. The results will be announced soon

after the Eid holidays and it will be followed

by a parent - teacher meeting. I request

all the parents to attend the meeting

despite your busy schedules because, the

time you spend for your child will be more

beneficial than the material comforts you can offer him/her.

Focusing upon the creative blooming of our students, ICSK

is planning a mega arts fest named as ‘Paradigm-2013.’We

are sure that it will indeed fill the minds with abundance

of creativity making the students more confident of

themselves. So, encourage the children to participate actively.

EPICS at a glanCE

“The highest education is that which does not merely give us information but makes our life in

harmony with all existence” -Rabindranath Tagore

Parents and teachers are the early role models in the life of a

child. The role of a parent has abundance of influence in the life

of a child; it is essential that the child learns from the parent

the norms of social life and the ways to manage self by mind

control. The way you behave, they will copy. A teacher can

only behave and cannot misbehave. Higher the position of the

teachers, lower is their freedom. This means the control of the

mind should be effective.

My dear children, though you learn many things, you can reach

great heights only when you conquer your mind. Have your

mind under your control, or else you will be distracted by the

world. Learn the art of mind management to walk on to success.

Remember, happiness does not depend upon who you are or

what you have, it depends solely upon what you think.. Wishing

you all the best.

mainstream to meet the challenges

of the present day. Computerized

Accounting for Class XII Commerce stream is implemented from the academic year

2013-2014. ICSK has a group of highly qualified and trained teachers equipped with

THE MONTHLY MAGAZINE

january 2015

Dear students ,

Happiness in life is all about the choices you make .The

ultimate desire of every human being is to lead a peaceful,

happy and complete life .To achieve this , we need to make

conscious efforts ,wise decisions and judicious selections. Choosing the right career

is one among that .

Career is an occupation or profession, especially one requiring special training,

followed as one’s lifework .It is very important to decide upon a career at an early

age of a person’s life. Its highly advisable that students should make efforts to

decide the career stream they intent to follow in their life ahead. With well defined

goals ,success is easier to achieve. People who are forced to take up careers will

look upon it only as a job,they will never be able to enjoy the moments of work as

a passion but when a careful selection of career is done ,it will be a life long asset

without much to regret upon.

While selecting a career ,the main basis should be aptitude,interest ,talent and

achievability. Instead of being much bothered about the monetary benefits of a

particular career,interest and aptitude to the selected field must be given utmost

consideration. Each and every student must be conscious of their aptitude and

interest while selecting a specialized stream of studies,it is essential that one should

follow their heart in this selection;career choice should never be made with external

persuasion or undue influence .Once the career goals are set ,the responsibility to

meet the demands of the subject lies with every individual .It may not be a bed of

roses to walk on but when one is following a dream it is imperative not to stumble

upon the obstacles on the way .When the selection is made according to your own

aptitude and interest there will never be a dull moment in the studies and the work

you will be undertaking in the years to come.

The most important phase of all this is the choice you make .Select the subject you

like the most ,you must be confident of your ability and interest in pursuing the

subject up to the level of making it a career. As you begin working in the chosen

profession ,you will enjoy the moments as it’s solely based on your interest. Following

one’s heart is easier than following money or fame .When you follow your selected

career with passion and enthusiasm,there won’t be a single dull moment ,instead

your life will be filled with happiness and peaceful energy.

So my dear students ,remember to make the right choice of a career with proper

awareness of your strengths and shortcomings .Get the advice of your role

models,parents and teachers but listen to your heart .Incorporate all the advise with

your aptitude and interest ; make the decision judiciously so that you will forever

enjoy your selected profession .

“Choose a job you love and you will never have to work a day in your life. “

Dear Students,

I hope you had a great summer holidays. Let us join for

yet another journey of learning. Dear children, you are your

own greatest asset. Put your time and energy into improving

and encouraging yourself. Then there will be progress. Self-

progress can take place when you use all of your existing

resources to enable self-change.

Neither say "I am nothing" or "I am everything" Instead say "I am what I am

because the One who is making me is with me". Make the self-confidence on you

and nurture it. Always focus for boosting the power of confidence throughout

your life. Each thought that we create, every word we speak and every action we

perform is responsible for the radiation of energy into the other people and to

the surroundings or to the atmosphere. My dear children, keep honesty in your

life. Where there is honesty there is flexibility. If you are flexible, your mind will

be calm and quiet.

When someone challenges the truth of what we are saying we generally tend to

argue and prove our point in order to prove ourselves right. When we argue in this

way, it only shows our own stubbornness and doesn't help in any way to reveal

the truth. We need to realise the fact that when the other person is not able to

recognise the truth, our arguing will not help in any way. When the truth is with us

we need not argue but we only need to wait for the right opportunity to talk what

we have to say. When we try to talk when the other person is not in a position to

listen to us, it only reveals our lack of flexibility. Dear children, be self-confident,

honest and flexible in life.

“Best wishes” for the upcoming exams.

Best Classes It was on 26th May 2015, tuesday the students

of ICSK (senior school) had an opportunity

to visit Bangladesh war ship BNS SaMuDra

Joy docked in Shuwaikh port, Kuwait. It was a

wonderful experience. The captain of the ship

welcomed the students and the navy officers

introduced themselves. The students were

divided into 5 groups to see different parts of

the ship. The main control room was really

amazing. It was equipped with well developed

system of map, radar, steering megaphone,

sonar etc. The officials explained about the

use of equipments and also its operational

capabilities. They also said that they had

some weird experiences during their journey

and the time taken to reach their destination.

at the end there was a photo session and a

snack time. The students expressed their

greatfullness to the Principal, teachers and

staff for organizing this trip.1

At the beginning of this New Year let me

take this opportunity to wish success to all the

family members of Indian Community School. It

is obviously a time to hope, as we celebrate the

end of one year and the beginning of another. It

is then most suitable time for us to have both

reflection and planning. We must anticipate

this year with a perfect sense of optimism that

brighter days are ahead of us. Although our

challenges are great, each of us must have the

courage and determination to rise up and meet the goals in our lives.

After all, the best use of the past is to learn from it. As we start a new

year we can gain courage by looking at the good aspects of our past

and the glimmers of good fortune that lie in our future. Life is a great

teacher; we just need to be receptive in order to learn well. Once

Abraham Lincoln said, “A goal properly set is half way reached”. A

successful student must learn to be proactive. Rather than waiting for

opportunities, it is the wise men’s passion which enables them to dig

out the hidden treasures. They identify what they want to accomplish

and they do it. Goals are the vehicles through which successful

persons reach their ultimate destination. Goals should help you in

your journey to attain positive outcome in life. Your goal should be

based on 5 magnificent features. It is usually called as SMART. Which

denotes Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Time bound.

Think of a goal as your final destination, if you don’t know what your

final destination is, there is no way to explain how to get there. When

you have a goal it means you are on the track of the success.

It is very essential to surround yourself with positive people. They

will encourage and nurture you. Stay away from negative people

because they will discourage you and sabotage your dreams and

goals. Think that you are your own motivator. Your motivation must

come from within yourself. Others can encourage you but you are the

only one who can attain what you desire, you must convince yourself,

YOU CAN. Dear children get motivated and achieve your goals.

The students of class XI (commerce stream)

had the rare privilege to visit the national

bank of Kuwait in the third week of December.

The students of XI standard went on a field

visit to National Bank of Kuwait (NBK) head

office between the 15th and the 18th of

December, one section on each day. The

students were accompanied by Mrs. Usha,

Mr. Manish, Mr. Biju Mathew, Mrs. Tintu, Mr.

Joseph Frances, Mr Yusuf Shabbir, Mrs. Niva

and Mrs. Priya Kurup across the four day time

period. The visiting students and teachers

received a warm welcome from Mr. Ilangovan

and Mrs. Mariam from the Public Relations

(PR) team. Mrs. Mariam briefed the visiting

students about the layout of the bank,

specifically talking about the various counters

in the bank and the services provided to NBK’s

customers, emphasizing the importance of

savings. There was a particular section of the

presentation focusing on the Al Azraq and

the Al Shabab accounts and their relevance

and many benefits to students who want

to save. Mrs. Mariam also talked about the

increasing importance of public relations

in the banking sector. The PR team then

escorted the students to see and experience

first-hand the banks safe deposit vaults, a rare

privilege given as these are only accessible

to customers who are users of the vault.

The students were given a good overview

of the cutting edge design of the vaults and

the security system employed by the bank.

Following the visit to the vault the students

were taken to a conference hall where the

PR team then presented on the various CSR

(Corporate Social Responsibility) activities

of the bank and the privileges it has offered

to its staff and customers. The students then

were taken to a recently inaugurated NBK

museum that turned out to be an interesting

learning experience on the bank’s history and

evolution since the founding in 1952. During

the course of the day, Mr. Ilangovan and Mrs.

Mariam were very responsive to the questions

asked by students and they provided guidance

for those interested in a career in the retail-

banking sector.

At the beginning of this New Year let me take this opportunity to wish success to all the family members of Indian Community School. It is obviously a time to hope, as we celebrate the end of one year and the beginning of another. It is then most suitable time for us to have both reflection and planning. We must anticipate this year with a perfect sense of optimism that brighter days are ahead of us. Although our challenges are great, each of us must have the courage and determination to rise up and meet the goals in our lives. After all, the best use of the past is to learn from it. As we start a new year we can gain courage by looking at the good aspects of our past and the glimmers of good fortune that lie in our future. Life is a great teacher; we just need to be receptive in order to learn well. Once Abraham Lincoln said, “A goal properly set is half way reached”. A successful student must learn to be proactive. Rather than waiting for

opportunities, it is the wise men’s passion which enables them to dig out the hidden treasures. They identify what they want to accomplish and they do it. Goals are the vehicles through which successful persons reach their ultimate destination. Goals should help you in your journey to attain positive outcome in life. Your goal should be based on 5 magnificent features. It is usually called as SMART. Which denotes Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Time bound. Think of a goal as your final destination, if you don’t know what your final destination is, there is no way to explain how to get there. When you have a goal it means you are on the track of the success.

It is very essential to surround yourself with positive people. They will encourage and nurture you.

Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be

strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved. - Helen Keller

EPICS at a glanCE

Welcome to all to the February edition of epics. An academic year

is almost over with many achievements and accomplishments over

the year. As we move ahead, more goals are set and many more

dreams are being formulated on our future .

Dreams are wish fulfillments and dreams lead us to success. In

life,a human being can achieve anything only if he envisages his

success. If you constantly dream of success and accomplishments

you need ,your mind gets conditioned and starts affirming your

success. The term ,dream should not be confused with subtle day

dreaming but it is a powerful vision that creates steps to reach your goals. Most

people do not know how to fulfill their dream. The easiest path to attain one’s dreams

is to keep up the blazing vision of the dream, visualize it every day, every minute.

The idea will start materializing through your actions. To quote the words of a great

genius of our century, Dr. A.P.J.Abdul Kalam,”always go for dreams. Dream is not that

you see while sleeping but it is something that does not let you sleep. ”Dream your

goal, Dream your life, Dream your success, Dream your happiness and slowly you

start believing in these, providing you the strength and caliber to materialize these

ambitions. Create a very vivid mental picture of the life you want. Dreams are the

products of our imagination, it leads to various perceptions in our mind. These will in

turn inspire us with passion and arouse very strong positive emotions. All great things.

are born in dreams,a life with out dream is as zest less as a flower without fragrance

Dream big and work hard to accomplish them. Fortune and Gods favour only those

who follow their hearts.

“All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.”Walt Disney

If you hesitate even for a moment,you may sometimes miss a great opportunity, or the

fulfillment of a great dream. Work hard to turn your visions to reality. Don’t fear the

obstacles on your path; Remember,you achieve what you dream. So, dear children,

learn to envisage your future through dreams. Let your hearts be filled with dreams

of a beautiful future.


The universal declaration of human rights

has emphasized education’s importance as

a fundamental human right and a necessary

element of development. Education encom-

passes the scope of social values, morality,

tradition, religion, politics and history. It is the

acquired body of knowledge that equips the

emerging intellectual force with the necessary

skills to ensure its active participation in over

all development of students. However, it is

a matter of concern that the students of gulf

region were less privileged to make options

of subjects according to their taste and

preference due to various limitations. The

Indian Community School is proud to announce

a historical achievement that the CBSE has

given the approval to Indian Community

nEW COUrSES @ ICSk - A Dream Come True

School, Kuwait to include following courses:

Fashion Studies, Graphic Designing, Mass

Media Studies, Multimedia & Web Technology,

Psychology, Home Science, Physical Education,

History & Political Science in addition to

existing subjects at Senior Secondary level.

This is the first time in the gulf region a

school is providing various combinations of

subjects, with these many options. Ability

and opportunity, the combination of both will

enable a person to achieve his goal in life. It

is with a clear vision The Indian Community

School provides opportunity for our children to

avail their best options from twenty different

optional subjects. This is not only a landmark

achievement for the institution but also for the

entire Indian community in this foreign land.

Beloved EPICS…..

“You are never too old to set a new goal or to dream a new dream.”Life begins at 60… and it looks like you have completed a full cycle of life over these 60 months of adventurous yet tiresome journey towards perfection, completion and awesomeness. There’s something in you the student world needs and as ICSK Senior releases your 60th Diamond edition, a new candle of knowledge and wisdom has been lit in our lives.

Each month you are a masterpiece, with all credits to your meaningful content, significant campus happenings and colorful galleries. Hats off to your multifaceted Editorial Board. The months and years ahead are yours to win and cherish. Lets celebrate this milestone with immense pride, honor and cheers to your alma mater, ICSK Senior…

Niva Elna Varghis

Senior Secondary Academic Supervisor.

One fine morning, six years ago, the captain of ICSK summoned a few

of us and declared the launching of a unique newsletter called EPICS.

He informed us that EPICS was embarking on a voyage of treasure

hunting…. A hunt for the hidden talents of our students. Today EPICS

has reached the horizon with the ICSK flag flying high, all set to scout

and discover new frontiers along with the budding talents. I take pride in

wishing EPICS, her captain and the new crew members the very best in

the 60th lap of her momentous journey to glory.

Mrs. Srikala Dileep

Founder editor (Epics)

Greetings to EPICS

It’s a privilege and an honor to be part of the 60th edition of epics. The

monthly magazine is much awaited in our house as it is like a Pandora box

filled with interesting articles, poetry, drawings and achievements of students.

Hats off to the school for giving the students an opportunity to bring out the

talent within them.

Wishing Epics and the school to achieve many more accolades.

Mrs.Rajashree Rajan(Parent)

I am very proud to have witnessed the creation and growth of our

own newsletter called EPICS. As a student of ICSK, this novel

venture captivated my imagination and provided a platform to

express my creativity in words. Today if I am able to write articles

and write ups it is the confidence I gained from the school. I take

this opportunity to wish the EPICS team the very best on this

Diamond jubilee edition.

Jacob George

University of Canterbury, New Zealand (Alumini)

The Diamond Jubilee Celebrations of any temple of learning is a joyous occasion and when

the institution celebrating it is your own alma mater, the joy is multiplied many times over. It is

a matter of great joy & pride for me as the Editor of EPICS (2016-17) that the 60th year of our

school, ICSK coincides with the 60th edition of our monthly magazine EPICS.

EPICS is more than just the recording of the school’s numerous achievements. It unfolds

the unraveled world of the most unforgettable and precious moments of the school.The

enthusiastic write-ups of our young writers are undoubtedly sufficient to hold the interest and

admiration of the readers.On this jubilant occasion I would like to extend my warm wishes to one and all and thank all

the students, teachers & parents for their unwavering support and cooperation.

Mrs. Priya AshokHOD (English Dept)

A JOURNEY THROUGH WORDS…“I hope someday to write something worth plagiarizing.” I have been writing for EPICS for the last 3 years and I’m very fortunate

to have got a perfect opportunity to hone my writing skills. It’s once in

a blue moon worth of a chance for me to have been entrusted with the

job of Student Editor for this notable Diamond Jubilee year of ICSK.

I’m immensely delighted and grateful to the ICSK management for

providing me this beautiful opportunity!Sri Lakshmi Annapurna, XI – A

Hello EPICS,

Greetings to EPICS on its Diamond Edition.

You have done this wonderful miracle of pricking my creative mind, letting it erupt

like a volcano and thereby ensuring the flow of wonderful literary work. Epics has

instilled higher confidence in me as a student,widened my awareness ,boosted

positive habits like reading, researching, thinking independently and also polishing

my imaginary skills. It has helped me express my thoughts clearly .

A big thanks to ICSK and all my teachers who have kindled that flame within me

through EPICS.

Kaavya Vaidyanathan, XI G

IMMORTALITYBY 2050

Want to live forever? You just have to make it till 2050.

A LEADING neurologist has revealed the cut-off date for achieving immortality, and we’ve got bad news for anyone born before the year 1970.

“IF YOU’RE under 40 reading this article, you’re probably not going to die unless you get a nasty disease.”

Dr. Ian Pearson says human intelligence, memory, or senses could be connected to external technology by 2050. Within the next few decades, humanity may be able to achieve a sort of immortality by merging our minds with machines, according to a prominent futurist. This technology highly rejuvenates your 95 year old body to 25 or 30 year old one .Even after our bodies die, it allows us to attend our own funerals, and get back to life with a ‘highly upgraded bod. Protuberant neurologist and cyber scientists are developing a mind blowing technology to achieve this objective but the information about this technology remains undisclosed. ‘One day, your body dies and with it your brain stops, but no big problem, because 99% of your mind is still fine, running happily on IT, in the clouds. So keep your brains healthy as Wilder Penfield says that “The brain is the organ of destiny. It holds within its humming mechanism secrets that will determine the future of the human race.”

Serial No.

A 24-year old boy looking out through a train’s window shouted,Dad, look, “the trees are going behind; they are moving very fast” his Dad simply stared at him with so much joy and smiled!

A young couple seated nearby looked at the 24-year old and thought to themselves,

he’s so grown up but so childish, he must have a mental disorder for his father not to be bothered.

Suddenly the young man exclaimed again;Dad, look, “the clouds are running with us” the couple could not resist and said to the old man, why don’t you take your son to

“DON’T JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER”a good doctor may be a psychiatrist?The old man smiled and said I just did. We are just coming from a doctor but not a psychiatrist ; we are just coming from the hospital. My son was blind from birth. He just got his sight today for the very first time, his behavior may seem stupid to you, it’s more than a miracle to me.The young couple just sat down there, lost for words

with a mixture of tears and shame in their eyes.

Everybody on earth has a story; don’t judge people so fast or jump into conclusion about their private affairs; you don’t know where they are coming from or what they have to deal with.

The truth behind their story might surprise you. Take it easy with others, even if you have a perfect life. Let us keep working towards the good of all.

1. ‘’Your mind will always believe everything you tell it. Feed it with Love, Feed it with Truth, Feed it with Hope”

2. ‘’ Confident walking is more successful than confused running”

3. “ A generous heart does not store the mistakes of others”

4. “ Live to make an impact in others , not for the applause of others”

5. “ Let your light shine so brightly that others can see their way out of the dark “

Sir Isaac Newton FRS PRS (25 December 1642 – 20 March 1726/27) was an English mathematician, physicist, astronomer, theologian, and author (described in his own day as a “natural philosopher”) who is widely recognised as one of the most influential scientists of all time, and a key figure in the scientific revolution. Newton built the first

SIR ISAAC NEWTON

practical reflecting telescope and developed a sophisticated theory of colour based on the observation that a prism separates white light into the colours of the visible spectrum. His work on light was collected in his highly influential book Opticks, published in 1704. He also formulated an empirical law of cooling, made the first theoretical calculation

of the speed of sound, and introduced the notion of a Newtonian fluid. In addition to his work on calculus, as a mathematician Newton contributed to the study of power series, generalised the binomial theorem to non-integer exponents, developed a method for approximating the roots of a function, and classified most of the cubic plane curves.

To all those people out there who are interested in creepy stuff and mysteries. Unsolved mysteries are those mysteries which haven’t been solved to this day,these are incidents or cases to which the police are still trying to solve it or have closed the case, there are many famous unsolved mysteries such as the mystery of Bermuda triangle, but the two unsolved mysteries which is totally

mystery and weird which is “the incident at Dyatlov pass” and “The Big Grey Man”.

The first unsolved mystery “the incident at Dyatlov pass”(case#00-707) On the first night of February 1959, nine-ski hikers mysteriously died in mountains what is now russia ,On February 26, searchers found the hikers’ abandoned tent, which had been ripped open from the inside. Surrounding the area were footprints left by the group, some wearing socks, some wearing a single shoe, their foot prints lead into the woods, this is where the first two bodies were found one of the body had third-degree burns; one had been vomiting blood; one was missing a tongue, and some of their clothing was found to be radioactive.the most strange part about it is that their clothes were found out to be RADIOACTIVE Theories , drug overdose, UFO, and the Russian version of the Yeti. “The Grey Big Man” case #58-244The Big Grey Man is an inhuman creature that is said

to haunt summit of the second highest peak in Scotland, Ben Macdui. Like the Yeti of the Himalayas and Big Foot) of the American Pacific Northwest, the Big Grey Man has been seen by few people. What makes the Big Grey Man particularly frightening is that his physical characteristics don’t resemble that of a bear, and thus sightings can’t be dismissed as bear-sightings.

Those who have seen the Big Grey Man describe it as extremely tall (over ten feet) and human-like, with short hair, broad shoulders, and long arms. Nearly all reports of sightings include the sound of gravel crunching beneath footfalls. Scientists haven’t been able to come up with an explanation for the sightings and the accompanying sounds, although psychologists have proposed that those who have supposedly seen and heard the Big Grey Man have been in a state of physical and mental anguish brought on by exhaustion and/or isolation.

Unsolved Mysteries

In the middle of the barren Nevada desert, there’s a dusty unmarked road that leads to the front gate of Area 51. It’s protected by little more than a chain link fence, a boom gate, and intimidating trespassing signs. One would think that America’s much mythicized top secret military base would be under closer guard, but make no mistake. They are watching. Beyond the gate, cameras see every angle. On the distant hilltop, there’s a

white pickup truck with a tinted windshield peering down on everything below. Locals say the base knows every desert tortoise and jackrabbit that hops the fence. Others claim there are embedded sensors in the approaching road.

The Origins of a MysteryThe beginning of Area 51 is directly related to the development of the U-2 reconnaissance aircraft. After World War II, the Soviet Union lowered the Iron Curtain around themselves and the rest of the Eastern bloc, creating a near intelligence blackout to the rest of the world. When the Soviets backed North Korea’s invasion of South Korea in June 1950, it became increasingly clear that the Kremlin would aggressively expand its influence. America worried about the USSR’s

technology, intentions, and ability to launch a surprise attack. So they needed a secret place to develop their weapons and area 51 was born.

Making a MythU-2 testing began in July 1955, and immediately reports came flooding in about unidentified flying object sightings. Naturally, Air Force officials knew the majority of these unexplained sightings were U-2 tests, but they were not allowed to reveal these details to the public. So, “natural phenomena” or “high-altitude weather research” became go-to explanations for UFO sightings, including in 1960 when Gary Powers’ U-2 was shot down over Russia.

Archaeology is basically the study of all the past and historical era that existed centuries ago. It includes reconstructing extinct cultures from the material remains of past human behavior, or the things people made or used and left behind. These remains are called artifacts. Much of what we see around us – computers, clothing, food, books, and

“ARCHAEOLOGY IS LIKE A JIGSAW PUZZLE, EXCEPT THAT YOU CANT CHEAT AND LOOK AT THE BOX,

AND NOT ALL THE PIECES ARE THERE…..”

buildings – are artifacts. Even natural objects, like a stick of wood or a piece of bone, are artifacts if humans have used them for some purpose. From these artifacts archaeologists build a model of what a culture was like. The most thrilling part of archaeology is that of digging! It is full of mystery and exploration where you come across a whole lot of

physical activities. Wow! I would just love to go to one of those barren lands and start digging into the earth even if found anything or not!!!

The amount of archaeological artefacts in our motherland land India is vast and varied. It ranges from monuments, statues and paintings to simple tools, scriptures and stones. Being from Kerala, I would like to highlight the archaeological foundations of my state….Some archaeological sites in my state are the Bekal fort, Edakkal caves, Phantom rock and the Vadakkunnathan temple. All these sites are extremely fascinating and visiting one of these places would give you goosebumps as it will take you to another world of mystery…you will be lost in the hidden secrets of this universe…
