INDIA



Going back to INDIA of the 19th centuary,we were such a wonderful nation to live in-says the records.One such appreciation given by LORD MACAULAY himself is cited.Read it.Isn't it amazing??But one point is to be noted They were very clear in whatever they did. They had designed a wonderful trap and like a mouse running in to get the cheese,we were slammed in!!
We have to salute and thank the the freedom fighters,for they put their life at risk for us to live in the India we know today.Here we are, living their dreams but it feels like we have forgotten their efforts. They spent so many unpleasant and sleepless nights, were imprisoned, killed. They worked for India and its people, for us to become free, to live in place of our own. It is out duty to acknowledge their efforts taken by the freedom fighters to make India an independent nation.!!Atleast from today, think about this, think of them in your prayers and work for the betterment of the country."SAY NO TO TERRORISM".

WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT GOOGLE?
Am sure that the first thing that will come to most of our minds is the famous internet website-google. but what it actually means is something else. it comes from the term “Googol” which represents a number (written as a 1 followed by 100 zeros) so large that it’s larger than the total number of atoms in the known universe.You wont beleive it but there is one other numeral which is larger than googol,yes,its called googolplex(1 followed by a googol zeros).it was popularized in the 1940’s by the american mathematician Edward Kasner who created it as a useful number when comparing unimaginably large numbers with infinity and the actual term “googol” was coined by his then 9 year old nephew Milton Sirotta

ELECTIONS'09

PSBB is burning hot from being hit by the heat waves of the elections.How can i not talk about ithis monumental event?? My first year voting for a candidate. I'm still unsure about whom to vote for but that aside, what do u think about this election?I know more about the candidates contesting this year than the year before. Well, stepping into high school does make a difference here haha. With all the campaigns in place,its very clear that there's going to be a tough fight between RAHUL and KESHAV but u never know,anything might change anytime.Whatever the result, am certain that the other candidates are no less than the 2 mentioned above.This year,since the school admin has barred the students from heavy campaigns and even hooking up posters,i had a feeling that this whole event might turn out to be insipid but NO.I was wrong.Instead,as i have mentioned above its burning with that oomph as always. I don't know about you but I think this one will not make it to the list of the best elections conducted.We have 5 more days to vote for THE SPL for this academic year.Until then, byeee
