Cmde DP Kulkarni
It gives me great pleasure to write this message
for the inaugural E-Magazine of KV Mankhurd.
With revolution in information technology,
internet has penetrated, slowly but surely, in
our live and like Ali Babas Cave has opened a
treasure of knowledge, entertainment and
information to all of us. Sitting at home the
students can access information about distant
people, on diverse subjects at distant corners of
the world. The E-Magazine is a unique initiative
started by KV Mankhurd to give not only to
parents and students, but to all stakeholders, an
overview of various activities of the school. It
will also stimulate creativity of school children
through yet another medium with a very wide
reach. Simultaneously making the school library
also on line will enhance the access of
children and parents to the more than 10000
books. They can browse the titles and choose the
books they want to read. This will definitely
help them in their project work, preparation for
competitive exams etc.

• I think this is a small step but with a very
  large footprint in enhancing the knowledge of
  children of this school. I am sure more and more
  students and their parents will make use of this
  facility and contribute regularly to enrich the
  E-Magazine with their literary talent and
  creative ideas.

UNDERSTANDING GLOBAL WARMING

• On a cold winter night, you would have
  snuggled under a blanket to keep yourself
  comfortably warm. Imagine if someone was there to
  cover you with a dozen blankets? It would get
  very hot! If you have experienced this, you will
  understand global warming better. A mixture of
  gases called atmosphere surrounds Earth. A few of
  these gases called the greenhouse gases have the
  ability to trap the heat of the sun. Just as a
  blanket keeps you warm, the greenhouse gases make
  the earth warm. Without this warmth, the earth
  would be too cold for us to live in. However,
  when there is too much of greenhouse gases in the
  atmosphere. The earth becomes too hot! This
  overheating of the earth due to excess of
  greenhouse gases make the earth warm is called
  global warming.
• Since 1880, the earth has warmed by 0.8?C. As
  a result, ice in the polar region has started to
  melt, resulting in floods, rising sea levels,
  submergence of islands and coastal areas. It has
  also resulted in frequent hurricanes, droughts
  change in rainfall patterns and the extinction of
  many plants and animal species.

BOOK REVIEWby Mrs. Prabhavati

• Recently I read a book written by Sudha Murthy.
  Wise or Otherwise
• The book had taken away much of time without my
  knowledge.
• The eighteen chapters narrated the author
  experiences with the truth.
• The high values involved in each chapter brought
  the rich experiences
• Of the author in her day to day life the post
  revealed that every incident
• brought a solution to a social problem such as
  dowry ,poverty, womens
• Education, unemployment .The book not only
  educated by revealing
• the truth, high values certain incidents brought
  out the pan on the errors
• which were commonly occurred let graves this
  gave a lighter side to
• the reader to enjoy the book. Finally the
  director of a leading software
• company in India revealed her love for reading
  writing and paned
• a way for the young mind to would in the correct
  path. so I expect everyone should read this book
  at least once.

BOOK REVIEWby- Mrs Anju Singh Bhatnagar

•  
• Book - Brave New World
• Author - Aldous Huxley
• Publisher - Vintage Classics
• Introduction by David Bradshaw, Worcester College
  Oxford 1983
• Foreword by the author in 1946
• Cost Rs. 200/- approximately 
• I started reading Brave New World as it is
  recommended by the KVS in the core collection for
  school libraries. It took me sometime to
  comprehend the Introduction by David Bradshaw
  as the underlying ideas of the book takes ones
  thoughts to different pedestals of society,
  scientific, development technological,
  advancement, biologenetics which raises many
  questions and answers prevalent in todays times.
  In 1932, when the book was published the world
  was still under the great depression of 1926.
  Poverty and mass unemployment was everywhere.
  There was widespread fear of Americanization.
  This great novel of ideas is a warning against
  dehumanizing aspects of scientific and material
  progress. Its a satire. The novel is humorous,
  disturbing, imaginative, horrific and educative
  in its own way. The theme in Aldous Huxleys
  words is not the advancement of science as such,
  it is advancement of science as it affects human
  individuals. The triumphs of Physics, Chemistry
  and Engineering are tactically taken for granted.
  The only scientific advances to be specifically
  described are those involving the application to
  human beings of the results of future research in
  Biology,  
•  

33

• Physiology and Psychology. It is only by
  means of the science of life, that the quality of
  life can be radically changed. The sciences of
  matter can be applied in such a way that they
  will destroy life or make the living of it
  impossibly complex and uncomfortable but unless
  used as instruments by the Biologists and
  Psychologists, they can do nothing to modify the
  natural forms and expressions of life itself.
•  
• Ford is the presiding deity of the World
  State, a global caste system and his industrial
  philosophy dominates every aspects of life within
  it. Babies are hatched in Hatcharies and not
  born to mothers to fill their predestined social
  roles. Science of human differences brought out
  while hatching enable, government managers to
  assign individuals his or her proper place in the
  social and economic hierarchy. Epsilon-Minus,
  Semi morons are bred for manual labour, at the
  base and castes of increasing ability are ranked
  above them. Alpha-plus are the top level, just
  below the Director. Stability of the World
  State is maintained through a combination of
  biological engineering and exhaustive
  conditioning. Virtues of passive obedience,
  material consumption and mindless promiscuity are
  inculcated upon electrified fuses. Savages still
  get married, make love, give birtthem by means of
  hypnopaedia or sleep teaching. Infact
  conditioning and in later years with the aid of
  drugs, people are kept happy and distressed. A
  fool proof system of eugenics designed to
  standardize the human products and so to
  facilitate the task of managers is sought.
  People having subversive tendencies or those who
  take delight in such deviant pleasures is being
  alone and abstain from sex are banished to
  Savage Reservations which are segregated by h
  and die of old age and disease.

34

• John, a savage at first enraptured by the new
  world, but he soon becomes disillusioned by the
  World State and its from his perspective that
  he full, totalitarian horror of AF(After Ford)
  632 is affirmed.
• In 2008 sensex has again fallen at depressed
  low. Drugs are in use by youngsters, Marriage
  and belief in it is falling apart. Beauty
  pageants celebrate and endorse height, weight of
  particular proportions and everyone seeks it
  mindlessly which can be compared to mass
  production of eugenics in Brave New World. As
  long as things to right like flying from one roof
  to another, and getting some tablets to trigger
  happiness. But what happens when you are out of
  those comforts? Life becomes chaotic. In a way
  the book says that we should let the imperfect
  survive and not imitate developed countries.
  This book should be read by teachers as it would
  lead them to think how individual pattern of
  growth and differences and harmony in it makes a
  beautiful world.
